A/N: Sorry for the long wait... here's the latest chapter and I hope to finish this up next chapter.
Chapter 9: Papers from the Sky
Zoro was training with a wood trading dummy, he had two of his swords drawn, the third was replaced by the his Object of Legend. He focused on his golden sword with began spark… then performed Oni Giri on the dummy… when he was done not only was the dummy cut in piece but was burned as well, he grinned.
Elsewhere on the ship, Ko had her own wooden training dummy. She ran towards the dummy and did Star of the Night… from the slashes it began to freeze. She smirked at the results.
On the lower deck… Beth was dribbling a white, basketball-sized ball. Both Sanji and Chopper were guarding a make shift hoop, it was a special form of training or so Beth said… the object was to make sure that Beth did get the cloud ball that may contain some sort of poison that would explode when it went though the hoop it was up to Sanji and Chopper to steal the ball in hopes that it wouldn't' explode, Beth claimed that it was type of battle training to except the unexpected and hopefully put the two in danger enough to set off their objects of Legend as none of trainee goddesses had the power to the awaken their two. Amy that that Beth was actually in the mood to play basketball… which she was…
"Okay guys are you two ready?" asked Beth.
"Sure am…" said Chopper who figured it was just a regular cloud.
"Of course my lovely goddess…" said Sanji.
Beth grew an angry vein… she merely tossed the ball into the hoop with out trying to get passed Sanji and Chopper.
"How many times do I have ya! Don't call me that during training! Ya gonna get it now" yelled Beth.
Sanji sweatdroped, "I wonder what's she going to do…"
Beth pulled out ball from behind her back, this one was greenish yellowish color.
"I wonder what that is…" said Chopper.
He all ready figured out the system… white meant regular clouds, grey was smoke, black was something called smog, purple was some sort of poison that made them slightly sick… those were the only ones he noticed so far.
Meanwhile everyone else who wasn't training was watching.
"I wonder what that one is…" said Usopp.
"You don't want to know…" said Amy.
Luffy sighed and watched the training… it was a rare moment when he was serious… he couldn't help but to think of what happened the day before with the goddesses.
(Flashback)
"Finally… Luffy is clean!" said Nami.
Everyone had to take a bath, and Luffy being… well Luffy refused to take one even though he was covered in pink paint combined with the fact that he hadn't bathed since they left Konegi Island he had to take a bath. It took the combined efforts of his entire crew and the three goddesses who were there to get him to take a bath... sadly everyone was tired from trying ot get Luffy to take the bath that they were too tired to discus what they were going to discus.
"Are you going to stay fro dinner?" asked Sanji.
The three goddesses grunted in responses.
"I think that means "yes"" said Amy.
Later after dinner they talked about what was going on.
"I'm unsure if your aware of this but there are a god and goddess trying to interfere…" said Athena.
All the crewmembers glared at the goddess…
"Athena… I think it was obvious when they were covered in paint…" said Fate.
"Well duh, Loki and Eris…" said Amy.
"Well it's more complicated than that…" said Athena.
"What?" asked Zoro.
Athena took a breath… "They knew about what happened Fate and Destiny… and made sure you died… just for a sick twisted game…" said Athena.
"What!" yelled the Straw Hats.
"It's time you know the full extent of the Objects of Legend… they are weapons that give mortals the power of a training god…" said Athena.
"Which is really as powerful as a Logia Fruit…" said Amy.
The Straw Hats were still in shock about what they just heard about Eris and Loki.
"Great our lives just toys to a bunch of gods…" said Ko.
"We died jest because those two were bored…" said Nami.
"Well not exactly…" said Fate.
Still no one listened.
"Why would they do that?" asked Chopper.
"Who knows…" said Usopp.
"It a shock for them…" said Emily.
"Any one has a chalk board and a bull horn?" asked Beth.
Athena handed the red harried training goddess a small chalkboard and a bullhorn… she began to scratch it over the bullhorn… that finally got the reincarnated pirates their attention.
"What was that for!" the yelled.
"You have to listen what we were saying!" yelled Athena.
After repeating the weapons comment the reincarnated pirates took in what they were saying.
"So are we using them to fight the gods?" asked Luffy confused.
"No… but I do think that the 4 that have bonded with them needs to do training…" said Athena.
"How?" asked Chopper.
"Well for Zoro and Ko, Emily and Megan could easily awaken the powers… but for Sanji and Chopper… um… well… in order for their weapons to awaken we to put their lives in danger…" said Athena.
Chopper and Sanji sweatdroped…
"I say we push them off a cliff!" yelled Megan.
"Hey!" yelled Sanji and Chopper.
"Hey I have an idea for training… just put me in charge… it's not half brained like Megan's…" said Beth.
"I… guess…" said Chopper.
"Of course…" said Sanji with his eye replaced with a pink heart.
"Remer this training will be dangerous do be prepared… I will make sure that you won't die…" said Beth.
The two nodded.
"And if any of ya obtain the object of Legend out our jurisdiction will have to join them…" said Beth.
"I understand we should know how to use them… but who are we going to fight with these?" asked Zoro.
"Sorry to say… but that's classified for now…" said Athena.
(End of Flashback)
Beth began to dribble the ball… both Sanji and Chopper tried to play defense… Beth got passed Sanji pretty quickly as she made on her sleeves fall at the right time… exposing her breast slightly… she was really angry with him right now… she managed to get passed Chopper quickly and made the basket… the ball expounded as the could went all over the lower deck… when it cleared both Chopper and Sanji were covering their noses.
"What did you do?" asked Chopper.
"Beans, beans the musical fruit…" grinned the tomboy.
"You farted?" asked Sanji.
"That's right… and that's why…" said Beth who was cut off from the sentence she was saying when a piece of paper floated down in front of her…
"What's this?" asked Beth she said right when she caught it… her eyes became wide "Holy shit!" she said.
"What is it?" asked chopper as the same paper landed on his head. He picked it up and began t read as more of the paper began to rain.
"What's going on?" asked Luffy.
"Crap, craptity, crap, crap!" yelled Ko elsewhere.
"Guys… this is bad…" said Zoro running from his training stop.
"No doubt this is the work of Loki and Eris…" said Amy.
The sheets of paper that were raining down were about them… it talked about how they were the reincarnations of the Straw Hats and had full memories… and that their mother was Usa.
Everyone look up to the sky… the paper was literally raining down all over…
"No way…" said Luffy.
Not long later there was meeting…
"Looks like those two are getting serious…" said Amy.
"So what tare we going to do?" asked Usopp.
"I think we should keep training… those who still want revenge will be after us… and there might be people twill looking for us… I think the marines might even bring back Luffy, Zoro and Robin's bounties…" said Ko.
"Remember the faster we get this over with the better…" said Amy.
"On that bright side you are half way done…" said Megan.
"I guess…" said Usopp.
"I think we should continue on our way and if someone shows up we'll kick their asses!" said Luffy.
Meanwhile, over the world it was raining paper… some really didn't care… others were surprised that there is life after death, reincarnation, and other stuff, others were confused… others… those who knew the Straw Hats were surprised, some wanted revenge… others wanted answers… some of those wanted answer knew where to find them…
A few days later at Usa's house there was a meeting with those who knew before this happened on Konegi Island… as well as Hikari which is why this took a few days… and also Lenny.
"Sorry he wanted to come…" said Lan.
"What I want how this happened…" said Hikari.
"I have no idea… do you think this is bad?" asked Usa.
"Maybe… you were a member…" said Gen.
"Yaah but it was only for a short time…" said Usa.
"Their probably going reinstate the lost bounties…" said Dr. Kureha.
"That is bad…" said Usa.
There was a loud knock on the door fallowed by the shout "Hey Usa! It me Ace! We need to talk!"
"Oh man!" said Usa.
"He's probably pissed that you didn't tell him…" said Gen.
"No shit Sherlock…" said Ichigo.
"So Usa what are you going to do?" asked Hikaru.
Usa walked over to a stereo and began to blast it very loud.
"No ones home!" she yelled.
Everyone in the room sweatdroped.
"Usa I know your in there!" yelled Ace over the music.
"Can't you see there's no one home!" yelled Usa.
"She's lost it…" said Yumi.
"She lost it a long time ago…" said Dr. Kureha.
Outside the house Ace waited outside… she had to pen the door eventually.
Not too far away a certain former marine walked towards to the Tsuki Gi residence.
"Why didn't she tell me… I was at her baby shower… she should have told…" thought the former marine bitterly.
She heard the music blaring then got to the house in question and saw a familiar face.
"Ace?" said the former marine.
"Hey weren't you that marine that used to hang out with the old man?" asked Ace.
Yes the former marine was Tashigi…
"Yeah… I quit a long time ago though…" she said, "So what's going on?"
"She avoiding me by claiming she not home and blaring the music loudly…" said Ace.
"Open Usa it's me Tashigi!" yelled Tashigi.
"You know on a personal level too?" asked Ace surprised.
"Don't ask…" grumbled Tashigi.
Back inside…
"Oh great…" said Usa.
"Tashigi… bet she's really pissed…" said Gen.
"How ironic… I haven't seen her since the baby shower…" said Usa with a sweat drop "No ones home!" she yelled.
"I think Usa snapped…" said Moko.
"She's just been under a lot of stress lately…" said Hikaru.
Outside the house a certain red harried pirate captain showed up.
"Shanks…" said Ace, "You need to talk to Usa too?"
"Yaah…" said Shanks.
"She's pretending not be home… while blasting music…" said Ace.
"Usa I know you're in there! We need to talk!" yelled Shanks .
"One moment please!" came Hikaru's voice.
There were several crash sounds… cat screeches, Gen jumping out the window screaming "I'm not paying back that 20 year old debt!"… a live chicken jumping out the window fallowe3d by a yell of "Lenny why did you bring a chicken?"
"You know… I like this song…" said Shanks making awkward small talk.
Elsewhere on a ship, someone was looking at the paper with the information…
"Captain Sir! I see the Neo Straw Hats ship!" yelled someone above them on the Crows Nest.
"Maybe I will be able to kill him after all…" said this person.
Next Time: The Neo Straw Hats face an old enemy... in more than one... let's just say that the years have not been good to this guy... especially when his daughters claim that's it pointless. Meanwhile on Konegi Isalnd, Usa and the rest explain their reasons for keeping it a secret to Ace, Tashigi and Shanks... but what will happen when Shanks delivers an even bigger bombshell?
