"Welp, this is the place ze!" Marisa shouts out to Luffy while presenting the Shrine that belongs to the Hakurei Clan. Or the stairs leading to it. Luffy tilts his head in confusion.
"Um these are just stairs. Does this Rem person live on the stairs?" Luffy asks, which makes Marisa chuckle amusingly.
"Her name is Reimu and her Shrine is above the stairs. Come on ze." Marisa answered as she started climbing up the stairs while Luffy followed her with his hands behind his head.
"Don't know why we didn't just fly there. That would've been cool." Luffy commented as Marisa looked back at him.
"The broom is a one-seater. It can only carry the rider ze." Marisa answered back which caused Luffy to pout as he was pretty annoyed that he wouldn't get the chance to fly.
But what Marisa said wasn't the truth. The broom can carry from two to three people considering the weight of the person. But she can just see Luffy getting so excited that they would have to make a crash landing.
Marisa laughs a bit at the thought as Luffy grumbles about it. But then Luffy got an idea as he climbed back down.
"What are you doing ze?" Marisa asked as she looks down at him and sees a large grin on his face.
"I know a faster way to get there!" Luffy shouted as he stretched his arms out to the trees on either side of the stairs.
'What is he doing? And why does this remind me of a slingshot?' Marisa asks as she is starting to get anxious.
"Gomu Gomu No!" He starts while taking a few steps back making his arms stretch to their limit. Marisa slowly realizes what Luffy is going to do.
"Luffy, I know what you are going to do and let me just say..." Marisa didn't get to finish her sentence as Luffy jumped and launch himself straight up the stairs and towards Marisa.
"Sorry for the intrusion!"
"This is a terrible idea!" Marisa shouts out as Luffy just laughs loudly.
-GENSOKYO-
Up the stairs is the Hakurei Shrine, a shrine that protects the Hakurei barrier from the outside world. But in recent times the finances have been quite low. The reason for that is not that many people donate here cause of all the Youkai that keeps popping up. Much to the Shrine Maiden's annoyance.
One of them is an Oni who is sleeping on the veranda. She has brown eyes. Has long ginger hair, tied with a chain with a blue cube on the end. She has two horns coming out, decorated with red and purple ribbons. Wears a tattered white singlet along with a long purple skirt and a belt over her waist. She also has chains on both wrists that are hanging on a red pyramid and a yellow sphere. She is Suika Ibuki, Free-Spirited Old Timer.
"Oh, coming Reimu give me another..." The Oni muttered while drool is coming out of her mouth.
"Hm?" Suika mumbled out as her ears were picking out something. One was screaming and the other sounds like laughing? She groans as the noise isn't helping her drunken head.
"Oh, can you keep it down? The noise is giving me a..." She was then interrupted by an explosion right in front of the Shrine.
"Whoa!" Suika yelped as the shock made her fall off the veranda "Ow." She rubs her head as that headache went back tenfold. The smoke clears as she hears more laughter and sees a boy with a straw hat walking out of it.
"Whew that was fun. Want to do it again head witch girl?" He says with a laugh as a girl Suika actually recognize comes out while rubbing her own head.
"Like I said my name is Marisa ze." Marisa muttered. She raises her head and notices Suika. "Oh, hey Suika. What's up ze?" She said waving and started getting off the ground.
"I should say the same thing Marisa, you normally crash flashier." Suika said with a grin as Marisa dust off her hat while smiling back.
"Is that really how you see me?" She said with an eyebrow raised while putting on her hat and picks up her broom.
Suika teases a bit more but then finds someone poking her horns.
"Wow these horns a big! How do you walk past doors!?" Luffy shouted in wonder as he really likes these horns. Suika smiles proudly while she answers his question.
"I have the power to change size. Like this." Suika said as her horns shrink and grow back shortly after. Luffy's eyes brightened as Suika did it a few more times.
"So cool!"
Suika chuckles as she sits down and brings out her huge Gordon that was left on the veranda. "So, then I think I haven't introduced myself. My name is Suika Ibuki. What's yours boy." Suika said smirking while taking a drink of her sake.
"I am not a boy! My name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I am a man!" Luffy said loudly while trying to sound manly.
"Kid I am pretty old, so anyone is a kid in my eyes." Suika says as she was having too much fun with the pirate captain. Though Luffy just looked confused as Marisa went ahead to clarify for him.
"Suika may look like a kid, but she is probably older than your grandpa. She would certainly out drink him as well." Marisa said that made Luffy turn into shock.
"Eh!? But my grandpa is so old!" He shouted, which made Marisa and Suika laugh. But the moment ended when the door behind the donation box opened and out came a girl with ruffled up hair. Which indicates that she has just woken up.
"What's with all the racket!?" She shouted angrily. The annoying girl has dark red eyes, black hair with a large red ribbon in her hair. Wears a red and white dress remotely similar to a shrine maiden's outfit with detached sleeves leaving her shoulders uncovered with a yellow neckerchief tied around her white collar. She is Reimu Hakurei, Freewheeling and Haphazard Shrine Maiden
"Oh, what's up Reimu! Just woken up I see!" Marisa shouted to her as Reimu looked at the witch annoyingly as she taps her Gohei on her shoulder.
"Yea no thanks to you." She said with a sigh. It was until then that she noticed someone she had never seen before. "And who is this?" Reimu asked while pointing at Luffy.
"Oh, this is Luffy and apparently he is from an outside world ze." Marisa replied. Reimu sighs again as she doesn't want any trouble so early in the morning.
"Why would you bring an outsider here and not to the village? Just get Keine to look after..." Reimu slowed to a stop as she looked past Marisa and towards the crater that Luffy had caused. "What happened!?"
Marisa looks back and realizes that she might be in trouble. "W-Well you see Reimu..."
"I did it." All three stopped as they all looked at Luffy who had raised his arm.
"You did what?" Reimu said quietly as she tried to keep her temper under control.
"I didn't want to go up the stairs, so I Rocket myself and Marisa went up after me." Luffy told them and while Suika was wondering what Luffy was talking about Reimu didn't care about how it happened. She looks up to Luffy angrily while clenching her Gohei. Luffy didn't notice this as he just carried on.
"So, yea, I wanted to do it again, but Marisa was being a party pooper..." He said as he pouted.
"Uh, Luffy?" Luffy looks over to Marisa as she looks at the captain nervously.
Reimu then ran to Luffy while he was distracted and hit his head with her Gohei. Fortunately, the hit only made Luffy's head fly as his neck stretches.
"What!?" Reimu shouted in shock as Suika was also surprised. Even Marisa was in awe as this was her first example of Luffy's ability since she only saw the end of his battle with Rumia. Now she could see that Luffy isn't an ordinary human and that his stories weren't made up.
"Ow that actually hurt. Take this! Gomu Gomu No..." Luffy started as his neck snaps back into place with his head racing towards Reimu and head-butts her. "Bell!"
Reimu felt like one of Yukari's trains running over her as that blow launches her straight back to her shrine, she flew right through the wall as it left a hole.
"Whoa, how hard is that head?" Marisa muttered as she actually heard a bell when their heads banged each other. Suika meanwhile was laughing as she is finding this very entertaining while drinking out of her bottle of unlimited sake.
"Man, what was her problem." Luffy said in annoyance
Dust and debris came out of the hole Reimu made as Suika and Marisa were shocked/awed. Suika was shocked because she thought nobody like Luffy could have that much strength. While Marisa was in awe because of the same reason except even more so. However, Luffy was just plain annoyed.
They stopped when they heard some noise from the hole. As Reimu got out as we saw her hair got a little disheveled and her uniform a little dusty. Apart from that and a red mark on her forehead she doesn't look worse to wear.
But even so she growled as she locked eyes with Luffy. Reimu mumbled some things but none of them could hear it. "What did you say?" Luffy asked, having his pinkie in his ear. Reimu said louder this time. "Not only have you damaged my shrine..."
"I didn't do anything you just crashed into it yourself." Luffy stated like it made total sense while shrugging. But that made Reimu more annoyed. She growls as yin yang orbs appeared by her shoulders.
Marisa sweat dropped. "Oh, Luffy has done it now." Marisa mumbled as Luffy just stared at the orbs. "WOW! How did those get there, they look so cool!" Luffy shouted in glee as stars filled his eyes. But Reimu who was already pissed, took that as an insult.
"I don't care if you're Marisa's friend. Get out of my shrine!" Reimu yelled as she sprung her Gohei and with that gesture the orbs started shooting tons of red Danmaku bullets that looks like slips of paper. Luffy continued looking at them like an idiot as some started hitting him leaving some parts of his body paralyzed.
"Wha- what the?" Luffy said all confused as he started dodging them. Doing that Luffy remembered the little blond girl doing something similar to what Reimu is doing. But Luffy couldn't voice his opinion as Reimu keeps on shooting at him. "Alright then, take this! Gomu Gomu No: Gatling Gun!" Luffy shouted as he kept punching the bullets and soon enough his punches are so fast it looks like he has multiple arms. Reimu looked surprised but quickly changed her bullets into laser beams.
But Luffy saw that and decided to upgrade his attack. "And Gomu Gomu No: Cannon!" He punches even faster and starts looking like an actual cannon. Luffy builds up speed and momentum with a long series of quick punches.
Reimu was furious but made a quick decision to float out of there, but Luffy's cannon did not stop as it sailed straight towards the shrine. "Oh crap!" Marisa and Suika shouted as they flew from the veranda they were sitting on. Luffy's attack managed to break the entrance of the Shrine. Reimu looked at her now damaged shrine as she slowly gritted her teeth. Suika notices this and is now pitying on what Reimu is about to do to Luffy. "Hope you'll be alright straw hat boy." She mumbled. Even if Suika only knew Luffy for a few moments. She found him interesting and funny.
"You really like him don't you." A voice said but Suika already knew who it came from. "Well, I do like him. He's interesting and I did want to have a spar with him. What about you Yukari?" Suika asked as she saw Yukari just sitting down on her gap. She didn't hear her reply but instead only heard some of Yukari's well-known giggles.
Back to Luffy and Reimu. "You destroyed my shrine." Reimu mumbled as she has her head down so we don't know what her eyes look like now. Gomen." Luffy nervously chuckled as he said that.
"Alright I have enough of playing games. I will make you leave this Shrine, one way or another!" Reimu shouted in anger as she pulled out a spell card.
"Looks like she's getting serious now Luffy ze." Marisa mumbled as she was getting quite worried for Luffy. There's a reason why Reimu is called the Guardian of Gensokyo.
"Spell card: Fantasy Seal!" Reimu shouts out as seven Yin Yang Orbs in different colors surrounds all around her waist. Luffy just stared in a bit of awe but kept up his guard as even he knew that things were about to get serious. Reimu flew forward and in an instant was in front of Luffy in the blink of an eye. Reimu seems to be faster than before as she hits him with her Gohei before Luffy can react.

"Ow, why does that hurt so much!? OW!" Luffy yelled out as Reimu hits him again with a kick, making two more of her orbs' glows. "Damn it Gomu Gomu No: Pistol!" Luffy shouted as he stretched out his arm aiming at Reimu. But she jumped over it and started running across his arm. "What the?" Luffy got interrupted by a kick then kicks him again which had enough force to launch Luffy to one of the trees. Two more of her orbs glow up.
3 remaining.
Luffy jumps back on his feet and rubs his cheek as he felt the pain despite being made out of rubber. "Damn." Luffy grumbled as he saw Reimu fly towards him. Luffy stretched his arm and grabbed onto a branch. Before Reimu hit him with a Gohei he flew up into the air after letting go of the branch.
"I need to get her to stop but she's too fast." Then Luffy got an idea. "Well, if she is faster then I need to be quicker as well. Gomu Gomu No: Balloon!" Luffy shouted sucking a much air as he can making his stomach expand. "What is he doing now Ze?" Marisa asked as she flew to where Suika and Yukari were. "Will just have to wait and see." Yukari said as Marisa looked at her strangely. 'I wonder if Yukari is responsible for this.' Marisa thought but decided to ask later when this was over.
"Is that all you got. Are you being serious right now?!" Reimu shouted out but got no reply as Luffy twisted his inflated body. Once he was all twisted, he blew out the air up in the air which caused him to come back down like a missile while spinning towards Reimu. "Gomu Gomu No: Storm!" Luffy shouted as he unleashes a barrage of punches on the ground where Reimu is.
However, Reimu is prepared. "Cautionary Border!" She shouted as a squared shape blue barrier appeared blocking all of Luffy's attacks. "Nani!" Luffy shouted in surprise as Reimu pushed her border up and uses it as a blunt weapon to hit Luffy. Even though this one didn't hurt Luffy as much as the previous one it still made another orb glow.
2 remaining.
Luffy landed back on the ground but had to kneel down as he started feeling out of breath. Luffy remembered him losing his Nakama. Is he going to lose again? Reimu looked at him as five out of seven orbs glowed around her. "Do you wish to give up?" Reimu said as Luffy started to glare at her, making her step back a little by reflex but still stood her ground. 'I will not lose. Not again.' Luffy thought as he slowly got up. "No."
Reimu looked surprised. She never saw anybody getting back up after a beating like that. None the less from a human. "If I want to see my Nakama again. I'll have to become stronger." Luffy quietly said as he crouches down placing his hand onto the ground.
Reimu could have sworn she saw something pumping his legs as she saw steam coming out of his body. His skin turns rose red. "Gear Second." Luffy said rather calmly as he disappeared. "Gear what?" Now it was Reimu's turn to be surprised as Luffy disappears from view. 'Where did he go? Did he just teleport or something?'
"Gomu Gomu No!" Reimu looked around and saw Luffy behind her in a stance. Reimu didn't know what was going on until it was too late. "Jet Pistol!" Pain shot through her stomach as she sat out the air. It felt like one that first bell attack, but this was ten times worse.
Suika and Marisa were shocked by this development as they just Reimu gone all the way through her already demolished shrine. "Wow did, did he actually win?" Marisa asks no one in particular. Sure, she saw him using Gear Second once before but that was just against one of her weaker spells she put on that fridge, Reimu is another matter entirely.
She heard giggles from Yukari. "Do you really think Reimu would be finish yet?" With these words Reimu appeared in front of Luffy as he looked up. Reimu seems to be hurting if some blood dripping down her mouth was any indication. But it looks like Reimu is still raring to go.
"Demon-Sealing Dimensional Rift!" Reimu shouted as knife like bullets shot out in a wide barrage. Luffy tried to dodge them but managed to only get him hit once on the shoulder. Luffy didn't mind the pain as it only hurt him a little bit but still gotten another orb glowing.
1 remaining.
As Reimu hit the touch the ground, Luffy attacked as he stretched his leg into the air. "Gomu Gomu No: Jet Axe!" Luffy shouted as his leg got sent down aiming at Reimu. As it hit the ground dust and dirt got sent around making Luffy not see where Reimu is.
Luffy waited a sec but before the dust cleared, he felt pain in his back. "Got you." Reimu quietly said as the last of her orbs glowed making the entire place bright. Marisa and Suika had to block their eyes, but Yukari just watched nonchalantly as she had sunglasses on from one of her gaps.
The light was there for a few seconds as it dimmed. They saw Reimu all out of breath but still standing. "Where's Luffy?" Marisa asked as both Suika and Yukari wondered the same thing.
"Gomu Gomu No!" They couldn't believe their eyes as they saw Luffy appear right in front of Reimu. Reimu was shocked that Luffy got hit by her attack at close range and is still awake nonetheless standing.
"Who are you?" Reimu said actually afraid. "I'm Monkey D. Luffy and no matter what, I WILL GET BACK TO MY CREW! NOW, JET BASOOOOOKAAAAA!" He shouted as he threw his arms straight at Reimu. Her entire body hurting was the last thing Reimu felt before falling unconscious.
Luffy breathed heavily as he fell down into the ground thus ending gear second. Marisa and Suika jaw dropped as they saw Luffy's power. But that ended as a gap appeared in front of them dropping Reimu unconscious.
Marisa especially since she can't believe that Reimu had actually lost even though it did become a tie in the end. Probably it may have been because Reimu was so hell bent on making Luffy leave. She actually tried to make that happen. As every other time Reimu didn't have to try thanks to her mystical ability to just float towards victory. If this was any other time Reimu would've won no doubt about that.
"Take those two inside. Well, what's left of it anyway?" Yukari said as she goes through her gap, thus leaving them. The battle had made Marisa and Suika speechless as they silently both nodded to each other and carried the two inside to the now half destroyed shrine.
