Sailing Off to the Next Adventure
The rest of the Straw Hats were relaxing after their battle.
Broggy was free, but now was crying over the lost of his friend, which to the Straw Hats, were too loud.
"He's crying too loud," Nami complained.
"It looks like a waterfall," Zoro responded.
"Look at the rainbow behind that!" Luffy yelled.
"Quack!"
"We need to stop him!" Moi complained.
"My ears are going to explode," Vivi winced.
"I completely understand Broggy' feelings," Usopp cried.
"Argh!" someone said.
Everyone turned to see, in their surprise, Dorry was standing up.
"It seems that I passed out for a while," Dorry said.
"Dorry? Why are you alive?" Broggy asked.
"It must be because your weapon had dulled over the century to where it couldn't kill him," Nami responded.
"That's right," Dorry replied.
Broggy gave Dorry a giant bear hug which still hurt Dorry considering his wounds.
Then they challenged each other to a fight, which was a laugh.
…
Somewhere else in the Grand Line, Smoker's marine ship was on the hunt for the Straw Hats.
Tashegi was admiring a sword that they got from a Baroque Agent they captured.
"Oh! What a beautiful sword. Kashue, one of the best swords in the world," Tashegi admired, "We've just entered the Grand Line and I already found this sword. I'm impressed."
"Tashegi! Didn't you hear me? How long will you play with that stupid sword?" Smoker yelled.
"Yes sir! Sorry sir!" Tashegi responded.
"Listen carefully to this conversation we just detected a while ago," Smoker said.
A marine opend a wristwatch, which was like a portable snail phone.
However the message was filled with static.
"Princess Vivi, Ms. Monday, and kids… accomplished the mission…"
"We are too far from the source, but there are four important keywords here: Princess Vivi, Kids, Mr. Zero, and order by mail," Smoker explained.
"Mr. Zero? Maybe there is some connection with Mr. Eleven that we caught in Lunas," Tashegi responded.
"That's possible, if that number is a codename," Smoker agreed, "Maybe it is some kind of secret organizations that receives orders from this Mr. Zero."
"Mr. Zero? Order? What are you talking about?" the man tied up asked.
"Then what about the order we found in your pocket?" Smoker asked.
"What order? I thought I burned it," Mr. Eleven said.
"Actually, I lied to get your guard down, and it work," Smoker told him.
Mr. Eleven cried in shock as he just fell for a trap.
"What gets me is the name Vivi. That's the name of the princess of Alabasta that has mysteriously disappeared right after the civil war started there," Smoker said, "Maybe we should turn our attention to the Land of the Desert: Alabasta."
"I'll contact the base to send us an eternal post," Tashegi responded.
…Little Garden…
The straw hats manage to bandaged up Broggy and Dorry, which took forever considering they're giants.
Now they were at Dorry's place, which was closer.
"We want to repay you for saving our lives," said Broggy.
"We've completely forgot that we're still wanted by the government," Dorry laughed.
"Because of me, those people are coming to this island," said Vivi.
"Stop speaking like that," Nami told Vivi.
"That's right! Have some rice crackers," Luffy offered rice crackers that he Usopp and Carue were eating.
"Where did you get that from?" Moi asked.
"That girl, Ms. Golden Week left it in her picnic basket," Luffy replied, "It's actually delicious."
"You had to ask," Nami said as she and Vivi sweatdropped, "Anyways, don't worry about it Vivi."
"Let's have a rice cracker," Luffy said.
"Yeah!" Usopp agreed.
"Quack!"
"But we need one year to lock the frequency," Zoro said.
"There must be something we can do!" Vivi responded.
As if on que, Sanji and Gin finally arrived.
"Oh Nami! Oh Vivi! I'm here to save you!" Sanji yelled.
"I think we're too late for that," Gin responded.
"Hey Sanji! Hey Gin!" Luffy yelled.
"Where have they been?" Usopp complained.
"What's this?" Sanji asked when he saw Dorry and Broggy, "Are you Mr. Three?"
"How do you know about Mr. Three?" Nami asked.
"Oh Nami!" Sanji responded.
"I'll explained," Gin said.
…
Gin told them what happened at Mr. Three's house.
"You talked to Mr. Zero!" Vivi yelled.
"Yes! He thought Sanji was Mr. Three, and I was Mr. Five," Gin replied.
"So he believed that all of us are dead?" Vivi asked.
"That's what I told him," Sanji said.
"But we still can't get off this island without an eternal post!" Usopp cried.
"Why? We have an eternal post," Sanji responded.
Gin took out the eternal post he picked up.
The rest of the crew's mouth dropped.
"The Eternal Post to Alabasta!" Everyone yelled.
"Let's have a rice cracker party!" Luffy celebrated.
Vivi gave both Sanji and Gin a hug, which was too Sanji's excitement.
"Thank you very much Gin and Sanji!" Vivi cried, "I thought we couldn't get off.
"You're welcome!" Sanji responded.
"I guess the frequency record would of took months if we didn't find Mr. Three's hide out," Gin said.
"Try a year," Moi responded.
"Finally, we can get out of here!" Luffy yelled.
"Luffy, we only have three rice crackers left, so we can't have a rice cracker party," Usopp said.
"This is not a time to celebrate. Let's hurry and get out of here," Nami said.
"By the way, have you forgotten about our hunting competition?" Sanji asked Zoro.
"I will win for sure," Zoro said, "I caugh a very huge rhinosaurus."
"Rhinosaurus?" Gin asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yeah! It had three horns," Zoro replied, "They were even alligned like a triangle."
"Zoro, Rhinosaurus don't have horns like that," Gin responded, "You must of caught a dinosaur."
"Dinosaur? Aren't those extinct?" Zoro asked.
"Little Garden is a prehistoric island. A lot of the animals that were thought to be extinct are alive here," Moi stated.
"Then how do you know I didn't catch a prehistoric Rhinosaurus?" Zoro asked.
"Because I don't think Rhinosaurus have horns aligned in a triangle," Gin responded.
"You probably caught a Triceratops," Moi explained.
Broggy and Dorry over heard them and remember how their battle started.
It was actually a hunting competition that started their battle, because both caught a sea king, and neither would admit that both Sea Kings were the same size.
In fact, the caves they lived in were actually fossilize remains of the Sea Kings they caught.
The Straw Hats said their goodbyes to their giant friends left for the Going Merry.
…
On the way there, they passed Zoro's catch, which was proven to be a triceratops to him.
However, when he brought it too the ship, they find that both Zoro's and Sanji's catch were the same size, but neither admitted it.
"Can't you see? My dinosaur is bigger!" Zoro argued.
"Then you must be blind, because mine is bigger!" Sanji argued.
"You don't need to argue. Both of them look delicious," Luffy said from the ship.
"Shut up!" both yelled.
"You do realize we can't bring either of those," Gin said.
"This coming from the loser!" Zoro yelled.
"I may of have to do dishes for a month, but at least my catch fits on the ship," Gin responded.
"How did you catch so many dinosaurs?" Usopp asked.
"How did you carry all of these dinosaurs?" Nami asked.
"Don't ask," Gin replied.
"Actually, since Gin caught dinosaurs that we can carry, he technically didn't loose," Moi responded.
"Who side are you on?" Zoro yelled.
"Come on! Let's just go!" Nami yelled.
…
Nearby the stegosaurus was grazing peacefully.
…
They sailed down the river to the mouth.
When they reached the mouth to the other side, they were greeted by Broggy and Dorry.
"The small humans who came to this island…" Broggy said.
"They have a big reason to go to the next island," Dorry continued.
"What are they doing?" Nami asked.
"We won't let anything happen to your flag," Dorry siad.
"Trust in us. No matter what happen, we want you to keep heading straight," Broggy said.
"Got it!" Luffy responded.
"What is it?" Zoro asked.
"Head straight," Usopp said, "That sounds familiar."
"We shall meat again…" Dorry said.
"Someday." Broggy continued.
"Look at that!" Nami yelled.
A giant gold fish came out of the sea.
"What is that?" Sanji yelled.
"A giant goldfish!" Gin yelled.
"Hurry up and change course!" Nami ordered.
"No!" Usopp said.
"Huh?" everyone responded.
"We're going straight a head!" Usopp responded.
…Flashback…
It was back in Syrup Village, when Usopp told Kaya his story about a giant goldfish.
"A giant goldfish?" Kaya asked.
"That's right! I encountered a gold fish that was the size of an island," Usopp replied.
"What did you do?" Kaya asked.
"Well I told my crew…"
…End Flashback…
"We're going to sail straight ahead toward the Goldfish and our next adventure!" Usopp ordered.
"Usopp, are you crazy?" Nami asked.
"I think he has finally lost it," Zoro responded.
"Luffy!" Usopp said.
Luffy smirked.
"Yeah! Let's sail ahead to our next adventure!" Luffy agreed.
The Goldfish opened it's mouth and began to swallow them whole.
"Haki Powered Gum-Gum…" Luffy said as he was about to launch a haki pistol attack.
However Dorry and Broggy jumped infront of them and attack the goldfish with their weapons by creating a slash of wind that cut through the fish.
The wind also send the Going Merry flying through the fish.
"We made it!" the Straw Hats yelled.
"So long our friends!" Dorry and Broggy yelled with their now broken weapons.
Then the volcano erupted, and the two giants headed off to battle once more, only without their weapons.
A battle that most likely won't end any time soon.
