Here's yet another update. I'm so excited to see where this story goes. Aren't you guys? I've got so many ideas and I can barely contain my excitement. The only bad part about this is that I have to write a lot -.- But I enjoy writing for you guys, and I love all your reactions!
I know that I skipped a lot of scenes in this chapter, but life in the real world is pretty harsh. I wasn't feeling too inspirational this week.
I've got to suffer from the horror that is school until May 27th. Then I'll be FREEEEE :D
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece at all. The fabulous Oda owns it instead. Seriously that guy is like a mastermind and an amazing foreshadower. I wonder how he does it...
Enjoy!
"So apparently Zoro used to be friends with those two pirate hunters." Usopp told the den den mushi as he pointed towards Yosaku and Johnny, who were hugging each other in relief.
"There's just no way that you could have recovered so soon!" Nami shouted, her teeth becoming fanged out as she jabbed Yosaku in the chest with her finger.
"I'm all charged up on nutrients!" Yosaku cried, completely ignoring the navigator.
"Oi!"
"Sorry for the late introductions.." Johnny took the den den mushi from Usopp and gave it a "dashing" smirk. "I'm Johnny."
"The name's Yosaku." Yosaku added, putting on a cool facade.
"And the two of us are famous bounty hunters." Johnny finished.
Nami took the camcorder from the male, rolling her eyes in the process. "Apparently it's normal to let pirate bounty hunters talk freely to pirates."
"Don't worry big sis, there's no way that we'll hurt you guys. Not after you saved my life!" Yosaku grinned. "Besides, who would have thought that the famous pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro became a pirate himse- BLURGH!" Yosaku coughed up a little blood before collapsing onto the ground.
"Yosaku!" Johnny cried, kneeling beside him.
"Oi, just get some rest already." Zoro deadpanned.
Nami sighed and put a hand on her hip. "Let this be a lesson to the rest of ya."
"This is one of the many dangers we will face on our voyage." Zoro stated.
"He would have died for sure, had they not come across us." Usopp bluntly said.
"Understand?" The three of them looked at their captain. "Luffy?"
The rubber man picked his nose, his head tilted to the side. "Huh? What's that? Meat?"
"What are we gonna do with you?" Nami pulled on his cheek. "I seriously wonder how your nervous system functions."
"I'm hungry." He suddenly stated. "Aren't you guys?" As if on cue, Zoro and Usopp's stomachs began to rumble. The two men nodded slowly. "Yeah."
"Me..too.." Yosaku stated from his position on the ground.
"You keep quiet!" Nami snapped at him.
"Bro!" Johnny raised his hand. "If you're looking for a place to eat then I know a place! It's a restaurant on the seas!"
"A restaurant on the seas?"
"Yeah. It's close to the grand line though, so we would have to be care-"
"Minna! Let's head there straightaway!" Luffy shouted.
"...Ful." Johnny deadpanned.
Click.
"Let's introduce the crew!" Nami stated, smiling at the den den mushi.
"Here's long nose!" She zoomed in on Usopp, who was walking out of the bathroom. "Oi." He said, sweatdropping. "Why am I only known as long nose?"
"Here's Scary Face! I'd never want to wake up to that face!" She zoomed in on Zoro, who was lazily leaning against the railing of the ship. "Shut up." He muttered, rolling his eyes.
"Here's two bounty hunters who are traveling with pirates for the time being!" Nami deadpanned, zooming in on a sleeping Yosaku and a half asleep Johnny.
"And here's Idiotic Rubber Man!" Nami zoomed in on Luffy, who was perched on the Going Merry's head. The rubber man turned and gave the camera a big smile. "You mean Monkey D Luffy, the King of the Pirates!" He responded cheekily.
"Yeah sure." Nami turned the camcorder back to her. "That."
Click.
"Minna! Come look quickly!" Johnny shouted. "Brother Luffy! Brother Zoro! Brother Usopp! Brother Nami! We have arrived at the sea restaurant!"
"Nani?" Usopp blinked, looking up.
"Eh?" Zoro yawned loudly.
"So cool!" Luffy quickly stood up and ran to the railing of the ship, dragging an annoyed Nami with the den den mushi behind him.
"Why am I 'Brother'?" She mumbled, pouting and glaring at the ground. "I'm not a brother. I'm a woman." Nonetheless, the petite woman placed the camcorder beside her on the railing so that it also had a clear view of the sea restaurant.
"What do you think, everyone?" Johnny asked, smiling widely. "Cool right?"
"Wow!" Nami cried, staring at the large ship titled "Restaurant Baratie". "It looks so huge!"
"Mm, I can already taste the delicious meat!" Luffy's stomach growled at his words. "Yum!"
"Yeah, I agree Luffy. It sounds de...d-d-de... What is that?!" Usopp pointed to the ship the was coming up beside the Going Merry, his legs shaking.
"I-Is that a marine ship?" Nami squeaked, her face turning a ghostly white. And sure enough there was a large ship coming up beside the pirates, the word "Marine" painted on the flag and across the side of the boat.
"What are they doing here?" Zoro inquired, his hand resting on the sheath of his sword.
"Look, someone's coming out!" Yosaku coughed before he and Johnny dove to hide behind a few barrels.
Nami picked up the den den mushi and held it close to her, the snail still recording everything. A tall man with short, light pink hair emerged from the marine ship. He had a laid back demeanor, but the scar on his cheek and the tightly clenched iron like fist said otherwise.
"Pirates.." He muttered. "I am Lieutenant of Navy Headquarters, and I am known as Iron fist Fullbody." His eyes roamed over each of the people aboard the pirate ship, lingering on Zoro for a second longer than the rest. "Who is the Captain of this ship?"
"Me." Luffy stepped forward. "I'm Luffy."
Usopp also stepped forward, his arms crossed over his chest. "And I'm Usopp." He firmly stated.
"Well." Fullbody began, only to pause as he thoughtfully stared at Yosaku and Johnny. "Hmm..you two look familiar.. Ah yes. I know you. If I remember correctly..you are two small time pirate hunters...And it looks as if you have caught more pirates, right?"
"This doesn't look too good for us.." Nami whispered to the den den mushi.
"Oi, Yosaku." Johnny crossed his arms over his chest, his face showing that of seriousness. "I think this guy is pulling at our legs by calling us "small time bounty hunters", don't you think?"
"I hope they don't do anything idiotic." Nami whispered to the den den mushi once again.
"Well we can't just sit around and take that insult." Yosaku replied. "This won't earn us any money but we're gonna have to teach this guy a lesson."
"Because they are smart enough to not go up against the marines right?" Nami asked herself and the snail.
"Ready?" Johnny reached for his sword.
"Ready." Yosaku grinned.
Together, the two men lunged forward with their swords in their hands in an attempt to land a hit on Iron Fist Fullbody.
"Are they that idiotic?!" Nami shouted, her teeth becoming fanged out. "No seriously, am I the only sane one?!"
Click.
"Guys, they are aiming at us!" Usopp frantically shouted. "We're in some really deep trouble now!"
"Sorry about that bro." Yosaku weakly chuckled from his position on the ground. He was nursing some new wounds. "We didn't expect a lieutenant to be that strong."
"Are you that idiotic?!" Usopp and Nami shouted in unison.
Johnny collapsed beside him, spilling papers all around him. Nami kneeled beside him, setting the den den mushi beside her. "Johnny? What are these?"
"Eh? Oh those are bounty posters." Johnny replied.
Nami picked up one and instantly froze, her face becoming pale and that of pure terror. The navigator clenched the wanted poster in her hands, momentarily forgetting that she was on camera. "Is something the matter?"
"Minna!" Usopp yelled. "We gotta move! The cannons are aimed straight at us!" As soon as those words left his mouth, a cannonball was fired at the pirates.
"Leave it to me!" Luffy yelled, standing atop the railing. "Gomu Gomu no..."
"Luffy?!" Usopp shouted.
"Oi, get down!" Zoro called.
"Balloon!" He shouted and his body stretched and became bigger, as if he were an actual balloon. The cannonball hit him in the middle of his inflated stomach. The cannonball flew back, only to fly forward and back towards the marine ship.
Usopp, Johnny, and Yosaku stared at Luffy with wide eyes and open mouths. "W-What?!"
"Nani?!" Fullbody stared at the cannonball as it...flew past him and straight towards the Baratie.
"Just where were you aiming, idiot?!" Zoro shouted, staring at everything in disbelief.
"Uh oh!" Luffy frowned. "Thats not where I wanted it to go..."
Click.
"We should go check on Luffy." Usopp stated. "I mean he could be in there trying to pick a fight with that marine guy from earlier."
Zoro nodded in agreement. "Yeah, let's you, me, and Nami go check." He glanced over at Johnny and Yosaku. "We're taking the den den mushi with us, so stay quiet for now...And watch Merry. Got it?"
"Yes! You can count on us, big bro!" Johnny replied.
"Yeah!" Yosaku grinned. "Dont worry about a thing!"
"Now I'm worried.." Nami muttered.
Click.
"Hey chore boy." Usopp snickered, placing the den den mushi on the table. "Having fun?"
"We heard that you have to work here for a year, as punishment for nearly destroying this ship." Nami stated, smiling widely.
"Should we go ahead and repaint the pirate flag?" Zoro added, and all three burst into laughter.
"Oi. You guys." Luffy frowned. "Here I am working.. and you guys decide to take a break by eating delicious food? How selfish!"
"You're one to talk." Usopp deadpanned.
"It's a free world." Nami said. "We're free to eat however we want."
Luffy pouted, digging in his nose. "Eat this." He muttered, playing his booger inside a glass of water.
Zoro's glass of water. "Oi!" He shouted. The swordsman stood up and grabbed Luffy by his neck. He then forced the glass to his lips and made him drink it. "You drink this! All of it!"
"ACK!" Luffy choked. "Zo...do...fhy are...you voing this?!"
"I could ask you the same thing!" Zoro retorted, not caring in the least that people were staring and that Nami and Usopp were having a fit of laughter.
"OOOOH! I think I'm in love~!" A voice cried out, which drew the attention of all four pirates. A tall male with a curly eyebrow and blonde hair that covered half of his face breezed onto the scene, his hands clasped together. "Oh how blessed I feel!" He cried. "Thank you to the oceans, in which I am so very grateful for bringing me to he in the presence of such a beautiful woman on this fine day!" The man took Nami's hand and his eyes, or rather the one eye everyone could see, became heart shaped. "As long as I can be with you, beautiful lady, I don't care what kind of path I have to cross even if it's that if a pirate~! But oh!" He, dramatically, put the hand that wasn't holding Nami's hand over his chest. "Alas, there is a burden, an obstacle that stands in the way of our love!"
"By obstacle.." A man with a missing leg and a tall hat leaned against the wall, his arms crossed over his chest. "Do you mean me? Sanji?"
Sanji frowned. "Oh, it's you. Damn old geezer.."
"What are you going on about?" The man rolled his eyes. "Go be a pirate, you idiot cook. We don't need someone like you aboard this ship."
"Tch." Sanji rolled his own eyes. "Whatever, Chef...it's not like I care about your damned opinion of me anyway.
Click.
Okay I'll admit that this chapter lacked creativity..but hey. I added Sanji, even if it was only for a small excerpt..and he had barely any dialogue...
I'm sure that the next chapter will have more creativity. I know I missed so many chances for funny scenes but I just didn't feel the creative juices flowing, ya know?
Wolfy: Yup, Strong World and Film Z!
Artemis: Now that would be spoiling it for you, something I'm not gonna do :p I dunno if I'll even make it that far with this story, especially since I know the Alabasta arc is sooo long..but it has Ace..so I'm willing to endure it :D
BlackRabbitAlice: Hmm maybe. Here's the update! Crappy, but an update!
Willow: I don't plan on quitting, since this story isn't too hard to write. Buut don't expect fast updates XD Saturday is usually when I update though I tend to get it done quicker sometimes.
LuckyLucy: The 6th movie..is that the one with the kinda dark theme? Like the one where the Straw Hats get into arguments and stuff? Maybe.
Guest: You must continue to leave reviews. YOU MUST.
Hikari: You think so? XD I thought about adding more Usopp x Kaya but I didn't want it to affect the plot line. And here's Sanji! Yay:D
Guest44: He's forbidden from watching this, as it currently stands.
So...that's it for now. I already have the next few chapters planned, I'm just trying to think about the Grand Line.
Please continue to read and review..And then do whatever you want.
