Waterpark

Neo stared in curiosity at the large water world around her. There were so many slides, and other rides that she couldn't identify with. She was in awe at the sight before her. She's never seen such place as this. The closest she's even seen would be Sabaody Park when they were there over two years ago. She ran her eyes over all the rides, the wave pool in front of her, and all of the chairs and tables sitting out for people to sit on. Large, colorful umbrellas made from flowers stood along side the chairs and tables for shade filled the air with their scents. All the colorful sights were accompanied with the smell of sunscreen and rubber from the water toys people were playing with. Suddenly feeling overwhelmed, her neophobia started settling into her chest. She stepped back from the water lapping at her feet from the pool in front of her. She wanted to run back to Law, but luckily he just appeared right behind her. Sensing him there she turned and tucked herself into his chest. "Law…I'm scared."

"It's all right, love," Law said. Wrapping one arm around her, he stroked her hair with his free hand before kissing the top of her head. "You don't have to be. Let's just sit over here for a while."

"Okay." Neo nodded. She followed him over to the chairs that were behind them. She waited patiently while he shoved one of the chairs right next to another one. The two sat down together. She tucked herself comfortably into his hold while she inspected the loud world around her. So many kids and even adults were running around, laughing or talking with each other while they splashed in and out of the water.

"Here," Robin then said. The two Heart Pirates looked up at her to find she was holding out a bottle of sunscreen to them. "I brought some sunscreen. Don't want our precious little girl to get burnt."

"That's so sweet of you," Neo said. "I didn't even think of sunscreen."

"Thanks, Nico." Law took the white bottle from her. With a small crack of the lid opening, he squirted the contents of the bottle into his palm. He then started rubbing the cool cream over Neo's exposed skin much to both of their delight.

Neo hummed in sweet pleasure at his skilled hands rubbing over her body. Quietly, she mumbled, "Easy, love. You don't want to get us aroused, do you?"

"I might want that," Law whispered in her ear before nipped at her sunscreen free neck.

"Too bad we're not back home," Neo said. She turned to him, allowing her to peck her lips.

"We could go find a place," Law said. "You always have your crystals to cover us."

"That is so tempting," Neo said. She ran a finger down his bare, tattooed chest with a strong desire to run off with him. But they both knew they couldn't. It wasn't safe for them to separate from the group again.

"Yahoo!" Luffy's loud voice echo out over the area breaking their thoughts and shredding their desire to find some private space for close intimacy. They definitely couldn't go off with him around. If anyone would find them, it would be him without a doubt.

The small group looked up to see the Straw Hat captain at the very top of the largest ride in the place. It was a tower connected with several slides. Some of the slides went straight down into the deep pool below while others had several humps in the slide. Their straw hatted friend was easy to spot with his red swim trunks and his straw hat flapping wildly behind him. They watched him leap into the air before his surfboard connected with the wavy slide he chose to ride down.

"Wow! That's so cool!" Chopper exclaimed with stars in his eyes. "The water is really not affecting him!"

"I guess Neo was right," Robin said. "Magic must be involved in this for us Devil Fruit users to be able to be in the water and not get affected."

"Really?" Chopper gasped. He walked up to the wave pool in front of them. The water was calm except for the typical splashing of the people already in the water. He jumped back as an automatic reaction when the water lapped up to his hooves. "Can I really get in the water?"

"Since Luffy can, you should be able to," Sanji said as he and the rest of their group wondered up to them.

"I don't know," Chopper said. His dark eyes looked at the water cautiously and curiously.

"If you don't want to go in the water you don't have t-Hello! Beautiful ladies!" Hearts appeared in Sanji's eyes when a group of three bikini clad women wondered past them. They looked at him, giggled, and then hurried off. He spun after them, leaving a trail of floating hearts in his wake. "Let me help you with your sunscreen! I wouldn't want you lovely ladies to get burnt by the horrible sun!"

"There he goes again," Usopp said. "How easily he forgets our predicament."

"Well, we might as well enjoy it while we can," Franky said as he walked off to enjoy the park. "This place looks super cool."

"You've got to be kidding me!" Usopp said as he ran after their cyborg friend. "We can't play now! We have to get Luffy and get the heck out of here!"

"I think I'm going to relax in the sun for a while," Robin said. She pulled a chair closer to Neo and Law and sat down to relax in the sun with them. "Its so nice and calm here now."

"I think I'll take a nap," Zoro said. He walked over to Robin's chair and adjusted his swords before he leaned against the side. Closing his eyes, he was asleep in seconds.

"How can you be so calm about all of this?" Nami asked.

"Well, it's not like we can make Luffy stop," Robin said. "Might as well enjoy it while we can."

"Whatever," Nami said. She wondered off towards the juice bar with her shoulders hanging low in defeat. "I'm going to get something to drink. If I'm going to die, I don't want to die thirsty."

"Hey, there's a band over there. I'm going to go play with them," Brook said before walking off.

"What shall we do?" Shachi asked.

"I'm not sure," Penguin said. "I guess we should just stick around the captain and Neo for now."

"That would probably be best," Bepo said. "Hey, where did Naruto go?"
"Yahoo!" Naruto's voice then called out.

"What?!" Shachi and Penguin screamed when they saw their missing ninja friend was already enjoying the waterpark himself. The young blonde man was sliding down the same slide Luffy was. The two met at the bottom of the slide and ran back to the top together to do it all over again. "He's just as crazy as Luffy is! We're going to die here!" They then turned to Chopper who was doing a funky little dance at the edge of the pool. "Will you stop that?! Either go in or don't!"

"You guys are too much," Kiba said as he walked off. "I'm out of here. I'm going to see if I can find my teammates. Come on, Akamaru."

Akamaru barked and quickly followed after his partner.

"I just don't know!" Chopper said. "I want to go in, but what if I drown?!"

"You won't drown," Neo said. "I won't let you. I'm right here. So go on in if you want."

"Thank you, Neo!" Chopper said. He quickly ran off to grab himself a swimming tube before jumping into the water. The water splashed around his little body, dampening his fur, and cooling him from the warm sun above. "Wow! I don't feel tired at all! The water's not draining my energy! This is so much fun!"

"He's so cute," Neo said with a bright smile. She leaned back against her chair in an attempt to relax with Law while watching over Chopper. For some reason she looked up at the sky. She blinked rapidly when she noticed the moon hanging in the sky. It was way larger than she ever has seen before and there looked to be a faded ring of red mist around it. "What's that?"

"What's what?" Law followed her gaze, but he didn't see anything. "What was it?"

"There was a faded ring of red mist around the moon," Neo said.

"Red mist?" Law asked. He looked over they sky again but didn't see any kind of mist or the moon. "I don't see anything."

"I know. It's gone now," Neo said. "It was weird. I'm sure I wasn't seeing things."

"It was probably nothing," Penguin said. He, Bepo, and Shachi were stretched out on some beach towel they had found. The bear already snoozing peacefully in the warm sunlight.

"I hope it was nothing," Shachi said. "We have enough trouble as it is."

"I hope you're correct," Neo said. "Something about it felt a bit weird."

"What do you mean?" Law asked.

"I'm not sure," Neo said. "I felt a little bit of magic coming from it."

"Well, we're in a world of magic," Robin said. "Maybe it's just a part of this world."

"That could be why," Neo said. She let her eyes linger on the sky for a little while longer before dropping then back down to Law. Her tears started to gather at the corner of her eyes, making her eyes shimmer. "I want to go home. I miss it and the rest of the crew."

"I know you do, love," Law said. He reached out, cupped her face, and stroked his hand over her soft skin. "We'll be there soon. Just be patient for a little while longer."

"I'll try, but I'm getting homesick," Neo said. She placed one hand on Law's wrist and her other hand on her stomach. "And a little morning sickness."

"There's a bathroom just over there if you need to use it," Law said, nodding to his right.

"I think I just need to rest," Neo said. She leaned back in her chair with a soft sigh. "And for you to stay with me."

"Of course." Law laid back as well, sitting as closer to her as he possibly could. He slipped his arm around her waist and kissed her temple. "I'm not going anywhere."

"I'm a bit sleepy too," Neo said before covering a yawn.

"You should rest then," Law said.

"What about Chopper?" Neo looked over to the playful reindeer. He was still paddling about in the pool with a happy smile.

"I'll watch him," Law said. "You know if you're tired you need to rest."

"Okay," Neo said. She kept her gaze locked onto Law as her eyes drifted close.

"She's always so worried about us all," Penguin said.

"Yeah." Shachi nodded. "It's good that she's resting now. I think I'm going to go for a little swim."

"It's gotten a bit warmer out here. I think I'll join you," Penguin said as he stood up with his friend. "We'll keep an eye on Chopper, Captain. You keep your focus on Neo."

Law nodded. He watched his two subordinates wonder off before giving Neo his full, undivided attention. An hour steadily passed by after that. Robin, Bepo, and Zoro remained by their side. The Straw Hat archeologist continued to bath in the sun while the strong swordsman remained a sleep through all of the wild yelling that was going on. For a moment, the surgeon wondered how the Straw Hat swordsman could possibly sleep through so much noise as he looked at two men, one a teenager the other an adult with the same black hairstyle and green swimming trunks and wings.

The adult said, "Just watch me! I'll swim five hundred laps around this pool!"

"You're so amazing, Guy sensei!" Lee said with dramatic tears flowing down his checks. "I too shall swim five hundred laps! I'm so full of energy!"

"Ah ahahahaha!" The man laughed. "In that case, let's swim one thousand laps around the pool! How good it is to be young and alive!"

"Yes, Guy sensei!" the teenager screamed. His eyes burned with fiery passion. "One thousand laps in the pool!"

"Ready?!" Guy asked.

"Yes!" Lee shrieked.

"Go!" Guy shouted before the two of them dove into the pool and swam incredibly fast.

Law pulled his eyes away from the spectacle then he remembered that this green haired swordsman was on the Straw Hat crew with Luffy as his captain. He was clearly used to sleeping through some loud noises.

"They're sure a loud couple," Robin said. "I wonder who they are."

"I don't know," Bepo said. He pushed up on his elbow as he watched the bizarre display the two men put on. "They looked like father and son. I wonder if they're really going to swim a thousand laps in the pool."

"Maybe we'll see," Robin said.

"It will be interesting to see if they can manage to pull it off," Zoro said. He peeked out from his eyes and watched the two racing back and forth in the pool. Several people had to dive out of their path, and out from the path of the water as it splashed up on the sides of the pool. Needless to say, it was a sight for them all to see. "Wow. I don't think I've even seen someone swim so fast. They must be crazy."

"You're probably correct," Robin said. "It's almost like they're being chased by a sea king or something."

"Huh?" Bepo blinked at the dark haired woman. "A sea king?"

"Yeah, a sea king is in the pool in the middle of a fairy ninja village," Zoro said. He placed his hands behind his head and closed his eyes, falling back a sleep. "Let me know if they actually swim that many laps."

Suddenly, Law felt a strong force coming towards them. He tensed, desperate to grab a hold of his sword, but he didn't. He didn't want to alarm anyone. And since the rest of the people weren't alarmed by this strong presence, he forced himself to remain calm but ready. When the presence was right beside them, he looked up casually. Standing there was a young man, about Naruto's age, with long brown hair pulled back in a loose ponytail, wearing a headband over his forehead with a white kimono shirt, matching pants, a grey apron around his hips, and had the strangest colored eyes he had ever seen. The light greyish white of his eyes gave him the appearance of being lifeless. But Law knew the young man wasn't dead. And he also knew this young man wasn't affected by Naruto's spell.

The two men continued to stare at each other. Quietly observing the other, debating on what they should do. Neither of them noticed Neo waking up. She released a startled gasp when she saw and felt the intense staring going on between them. She said, "What's going on? Who are you?"

"Neji," the young man said. Slowly, he pulled his eyes away from Law and looked at Neo. When his eyes landed on her wings, she fluttered them. "I see. You're magical, but your friends here are not. They're human."

"How did you…" Neo started. She narrowed her eyes and started to summon her crystals.

"There's no need for that," Neji said. "I'm not going to hurt you. But once this spell wears off you're going to have pretty much the entire village after you. Humans are not allowed in this village. You will be killed."

"Neji, you don't have to be so harsh," a soft voice said.

The pirates looked up to see a young woman with dark hair and the same colored eyes as the young man. She was wearing a purple coat, the same headband, and a soft smile. She said, "I'm sorry for my cousin's rudeness. We're just a bit startled that you humans are here. My name is Hinata."

"It was a mistake," Law said. "Naruto is the one who brought us here."

"I see," Neji said. "He's screwed up again. And this time the consequence are going to be severe. He should be getting you all back home instead of fooling around with this waterpark. Why did he even bring this place here?"

"It was Luffy who wished for this place to come into existence," Robin said.

"I see," Hinata said. "Luffy must be the one he chose to grant wishes for."

"That's correct," Robin said.

"How many wishes are left?" Neji asked.

"One," Robin replied. "He used up two for this waterpark, one to bring it here and the second one for everyone to have fun. Clearly the second didn't work all that well."

"Stronger fairies typically can over ride the wish granting process," Neji said. He crossed his arms over his chest and glared in Naruto's direction when he heard the young man yelling with joy. "He should have known better."

"Despite the obvious of us being here," Robin said, "is there something wrong?"
"Queen Tsunade is going to arrive home any minute now," Hinata said.

"What?" Law asked, his tone flat.

"She left a lot quicker than she thought she was going to," Hinata said.

"You all have to leave," Neji said in a serious tone. "Now."

"And the sooner the better," a familiar voice said. The pirates looked up to see the grey haired man from earlier had appeared. "Queen Tsunade is only a few minutes away from the village."

"It's you," Zoro said, eyeing the man.

"So you knew the whole time after all," Robin said.

"It was easy to know," Kakashi said. "But that's beside the point. I was hoping Naruto would correct this mess soon, but apparently things didn't go as planned."

"Yeah, you have our boneheaded captain to thank for that," Zoro said. "He's the one who wished for all of this."

"Well, you better gather your friends, get Naruto, make the last wish, and get the heck out of here," Kakashi said. "We're not the one only one's who are strong enough for this spell to not affect. I know a few of our villagers have ran off to inform Queen Tsunade of what's going on here."

Law cursed under his breath. "This is just great."

"How are we going to round up the crew?" Robin asked. She and Zoro stood up and looked out to the waterpark. "They're all over the place."

"Neo, think you can round them up?" Zoro asked. "And in basically two seconds?"

"I think so." Neo stood up and summoned a couple wind crystals. "But I have to use my crystals to fly fast enough."

"Then do it," Law said. "I'll get Penguin, Shachi, and Chopper."

"Okay." Neo nodded. Wrapping her winds around her body, she lifted herself up into the air and took off to gather up their friends. First, she grabbed Nami who was still at the bar.

"Hey!" Nami protested as se flew off her stool against her will. "What's going on?!"

"We have to leave. Now!" Neo said.

Nami didn't argue after that. She could clearly hear the urgency in Neo's voice. It was a tone that the light blue haired woman didn't use often. And when she did use it, everyone knew to listen to her. Next they picked up Sanji who was cooking for some women.

"And that, my lovelies, is how you make-Ah!" Sanji's voice was cut off when Neo lifted him quickly into the air. "Hey! What's going on?!"

"Leave it to you to come to a strange place and immediately start cooking for strangers," Nami said.

"I couldn't help it, Nami my sweet," Sanji said, waving to the young women he was being forced to abandon. "They were so sweet and beautiful and lovely."

"And we're in some serious trouble," Nami said. "Their queen is coming back very soon. Like in a few seconds soon."

"We only have a few seconds to get the others, have Luffy make his last wish, and get the heck out of here," Neo said.

"Crap! That soon?!" Sanji asked.

"Yeah." Neo nodded. Her eyes dropped down to Brook and Franky. Luckily both of them were with the band. Brook was playing his violin, much to the delight of some and others' fear, and Franky was dancing around like he normally did at parties. Sanji and Nami filled them in on what was happening while Neo picked up the last two people they needed. Naruto and Luffy were still playing around on the waterslides with undamaged energy and enthusiasm. She wrapped her winds around them and headed back to the others.

"Hey! What's going on?! I was having fun!" Luffy whined when his surfboard fell from his feet.

"You can have fun later! We have to get out of here!" Sanji screamed. "All your fooling around has gotten us into a lot of trouble!"

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.

"Your queen is coming back any second!" Sanji said. "Some villagers have already gone to tell her that we're here!"

"What?! But she's not suppose to be back until later tonight!" Naruto shrieked. He looked around in a panic to see if he could see his queen yet. "What happened?!"

"Who cares what happened?!" Nami said. "We've got to get the heck out of here! And now!"

"Okay! Okay!" Naruto said. Fumbling around he managed to pull his wand out of thin air before Neo landed them all back with the rest of their group that was waiting anxiously for them.

"Can we leave now?" Bepo asked, his eyes scanning the area for danger.

"Luffy has to make his last wish," Naruto said.

"All right! I wish for-"

"Meat!" everyone screamed. "Wish for meat or you're dead!"

"Meat!" Luffy cheered. He threw his hands into the air and laughed. "I'm starving! All that playing around made me really, really hungry!"

"Finally!" the pirates all cheered hard.

"Granted!" Naruto waved his wand. Several pieces of steamy meat landed around them, replacing the smell of sunscreen and flowers with sizzling meat decorated in multiple spices and sauce.

Luffy gathered up several and started shoving them into his mouth. He murmured, "So yummy! I should have wish for this before!"

"We told you to do that!" Usopp and Nami said as they both whacked their idiot captain over his head.

Naruto then started to wave his wand again. But nothing happened. "No! Come on! What's wrong with you?! You have to work! Now!"

"You might want to run," Kakashi said so casually. He pointed up to the sky where several dark spots were coming closer to them and getting larger as they did. "She's finally arrived. And she's not happy."

"Don't say that so casually!" Nami snapped.

"We're going to have to chase after you," Neji said as he and Hinata walked closer to them.

"What? Why?" Bepo asked.

"Because we don't want to get into trouble like this moron here," Neji said while jerking his thumb at Naruto. "It's our duty as ninjas to protect our home. But mostly because of him."

"Hey!" Naruto protested.

"Don't shout at him!" Nami whacked Naruto over the head. "Just work on getting us out of here!"

"Fine!" Naruto said. He waved his wand a couple more times but nothing happen once again. "It's still not working! Ah! What's wrong with this stupid thing?!"

"The owner that's what," Usopp and Nami said while shrouded in a depressed aura. "We're going to die."

"We better run! They're coming closer!" Shachi said.

"Everyone! Time to run!" Luffy said through his mouthful of meat. They all turned to bolt away from the waterpark. Much to their surprise, several of the villages had surrounded them. They had a mixture of surprised and hate for the pirates, the humans they were staring at.
