Chapter 1 - Resort Time


"Quit butting in line, you perverted snow cone!" Natsu hollered, bashing with Gray as they tried to go to the door that reaches all the way up to the water slide.

"You move, you damn stupid hotshot!" Gray (who had his swim trunks on) argued.

They weren't the only ones. Hinata and Kageyama, as well as Soma and Takumi were also trying to get by while clashing with each other.

"Move it, dumbass!" Kageyama hollered.

"You went first for something last time, so I go first!" Hinata barked.

"I'm going first, Takumi!" Soma hollered.

"Fat chance!" Takumi hollered.

Behind the line, Luffy, Usopp and Chopper were waiting for the line to move. Luffy and Chopper were thrilled to go on, but Usopp lost his confidence at see how tall and high the water slide is.

"This is gonna be so awesome~!" Luffy hollered.

"No way I'm going up there! My "If I go to tall places, I'll die" disease has come back!" Usopp exclaimed.

Right behind the three Straw Hats, Ruby, Yang and Weiss overheard the conversation.

"What kind of disease is that?" Ruby asked.

"There's so such thing. That's just his excuse." Weiss answered.

"He looks like Pinocchio." Yang teased.

"You know "Pinocchio" has ears?" Usopp annoyingly asked.

Evan quickly ran up to Luffy, Chopper, Usopp, Ruby, Yang and Weiss huffing and puffing without cutting the line, having came from the east.

"H-Have any of you seen a guy with pink hair and a scarf, and a guy with black hair and a silver necklace?" Evan asked.

"They went up there with 4 more idiots." Weiss answered, pointing her left thumb up to thee slide.

"Oh no, not again! And where's Juvia-san when you need her for this!" Evan thought, becoming pale white when earlier he and Juvia decided to split up to find Natsu and Gray faster to quickly regret that decision; Juvia was likely the only person to keep Gray in line to the ice wizard's annoyance, but with her wandering aimlessly, Natsu and Gray's antics will cause mayhem once more.

"Those guys better hurry! I'm tired of waiting!" Luffy complained.

"Yeah! Why do all 6 of them have to go at once?!" Chopper exclaimed.

Weiss noticed Chopper and was surprised. "Call me crazy, but is that a t-"

Evan and Usopp shrieked causing the others to see Natsu, Gray, Hinata, Kageyama, Soma and Takumi tumbling down the slide and immediately got out.

"Well just perfect," Natsu grumbled. "Thanks to you guys, I couldn't enjoy the slide!"

"Shut up - you started it first!" Gray snapped as he stood up.

"It was your fault along with Bakeyama and this other guy!" Hinata hollered, pointing to Gray, Kageyama and Takumi.

"Excuse you?!" Kageyama exclaimed, having a red tick mark on his forehead.

"You dragging me into this?!" Takumi barked.

"Well if you three didn't let each of us go on the slide one at a time." Soma explained.

Ruby, Weiss and Yang gaped with Yang quickly hiding Ruby's eyes.

Chopper yelped as he quickly hid behind Usopp, who's eyes widen in shock, as did Hinata, Kageyama, Soma and Takumi.

"G-Gray-san!" Evan exclaimed, freaking out.

"What the hell happened to your shorts?!" Usopp, Kageyama and Takumi exclaimed in unison.

"What are you talki-" Gray said before looking down and seeing he isn't wearing anything. "Oh crap, what happened to my pants?!"

Everyone except Luffy and Natsu stared at him, dumbfounded.

"You just now realized you weren't wearing any shorts coming down?! God, you're worse than Yang!" Weiss exclaimed.

"Hey! That was one time, and I was sleepwalking!" Yang exclaimed, now offended.

"So going on water slides can knock your clothes off?" Luffy asked with a grin. "That sounds cool!"

"It doesn't, idiot!" Usopp, Weiss, Yang, Kageyama and Takumi exclaimed in unison.

"H-Hey! I can't see anything!" Ruby exclaimed, trying to release Yang's hands that were shielding her eyes.

"Dammit! I refuse to wait in that long again! Time for a redo!" Natsu hollered, making his way through by instead climbing on the wooden stands.

The rest of the line yelled at the dragon slayer for cheating his way, climbing at a rapid pace.

"Hey, no fair!" Luffy angrily hollered, stretching both of his arms to grab the side of the waterslide to everyone's stunned expressions.

"D-Did that guy's arms just stretched?!" Takumi asked, in disbelief.

Luffy quickly pulled himself up at a high speed, reaching near the top of the slide.

"Yes! I'm up!" Luffy hollered.

"Luffy!" Usopp groaned.

"Natsu-san!" Evan groaned.

"Boys are such idiots," Weiss said. "Right, Ruby?"

Weiss didn't get an answer in realizing her leader isn't with her and Yang (who was still shocked by Luffy's ability).

"Yang - where is she?" Weiss asked.

Yang quickly noticed Ruby was gone and began to frantically find her.

"You dumbass! Get back here!" Kageyama hollered, seeing Hinata using his high acrobatic skills to climb up and tailing behind Natsu.

"Wait a minute… where did Yukihira go?!" Takumi exclaimed, looking for his rival.

XXX

"Hey! How the heck did you guys get up here?!" Luffy asked, in disbelief.

"I flew up here." Ruby answered, with a cheeky grin before turning to seeing Soma holding onto her shoulders that made Ruby struggle a bit.

"And I didn't give you a free pass! I'm not your transport!" Ruby angrily hollered.

"Well I couldn't wait and and knew you were gonna find a way to get up there," Soma explained. "So I just grabbed on."

"He had a vague idea about my Semblance?!" Ruby thought.

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU THREE CUTTING~?!" Natsu and Hinata yelled in unison, still behind the trio.

"YOU'RE THE ONES WHO CLIMBED!" Luffy, Ruby and Soma snapped back with sharp teeth.

"Damn fire breathing piece of…" Gray growled. With his Ice-Make Magic, Gray slammed into the water at the slide, causing all the water to freeze up. Luckily, only Luffy, Natsu, Ruby, Hinata and Soma were the only ones on.

"What the heck?! The water froze!" Hinata exclaimed, trying to run only to slip on the ice and into Natsu, who crashed into Luffy, Ruby and Soma with all five sliding down.

"Crap!" Gray hollered, quickly moving out of the way as all five of them were flung high into the air, screaming loudly.

Usopp, Chopper, Evan, Weiss, Yang, Kageyama and Takumi watched the five of them fly with their jaws dropped.

3 minutes earlier…

At the water park, Erza and Wendy were getting intensely wet by a 300-gallon water bucket that released all that water hard.

Erza was able to handle it really well, but Wendy tumbled and without warning, accidentally hit someone from behind.

"Ow…" Wendy and the other person groaned in unison, before the former turned to see the latter later revealed to be Megumi.

"I'm sorry! I didn't see you there!" Wendy panicked, apologizing to the 10th Seat.

"No, it's alright. Sorry for not seeing you there." Megumi assured, not wanting to be of any inconvenience.

"You okay, Wendy?" Erza asked, having walked to check on her younger guildmate. Wendy nodded before standing up.

Erza turned to Megumi and offered a hand. Hesitant at first, but seeing the sincere kindness in Erza's expression, Megumi took the hand and stood up.

"Sorry if Wendy accidentally bumped you. That water bucket packed some force." Erza explained.

"Yeah! I thought that was the end for me!" Megumi comically wailed, to the confusion of Erza and Wendy.

"Gray-sama! Gray-sama!" Juvia called out, just appearing now in search of Gray to the surprise of Erza and Wendy.

"Juvia-san?!" Wendy exclaimed.

"Wendy? Erza-san?" Juvia asked.

"Juvia. Weren't you and Evan with Natsu and Gray?" Erza sternly asked.

Juvia gulped and fidgeted her fingers. "Well… we were with them… but…"

A loud rumbling noise startled Erza, Wendy, Juvia and Megumi before they heard people shouting and going nuts at seeing the large ice geyser near the water slide and five people screaming as they flew the skies.

"Isn't that…" Wendy said, realizing the obvious.

"Erza-san! Natsu-san and Gray-san are-" Evan called out, racing to tell his fellow wizards the bad news, but immediately stopped upon seeing Erza's fiery aura of rage.

"I KNEW THOSE TWO FOOLS WOULD MAKE ANOTHER MESS!" Erza roared.

Wendy, Juvia, Evan and Megumi shrieked in fright with the three blue-haired girls holding onto each other and Evan quickly hiding behind them.

Recovering from Nami's wrath, Sanji headed to a local food stall and became intrigued. Only reason is that he sees Blake enjoying a nice seafood dish.

"Aw, a lovely young cat lady!" Sanji hollered, doing his "Love Hurricane".

Blake gave a threatening glare at the cook, who immediately backed off and didn't complain.

"Don't mind her. She's been like that to anyone who tried to hit on her." Sanji heard the voice of Yamaguchi and turned to see him and Tsukishima sitting at another table eating burgers and fries.

"That makes you another idiot with no manners." Tsukishima sneered, angering Sanji and causing Yamaguchi to sigh.

"You promised to be on your best behavior." Yamaguchi reprimanded, but Tsukishima didn't listen.

Blake went back to eating her seafood and was enthralled by it's taste and flavor. "This fish is so lovely! It must've been seasoned very well!"

"It has dill, ginger and parsley to give the fish a combination of delicacy and sweetness." Akira commented, using his strong sense of smell to notice what kind of spices were used in Blake's dish, surprising her, Sanji, Tsukishima and Yamaguchi.

"You got a bloodhound's nose, kid." Sanji commented.

"I'm sure you would've noticed yourself." Akira commented back, which made Sanji smirk.

Blake, Tsukishima and Yamaguchi were getting a sensation those two are talented chefs to know the spices that were used in the seafood plate.

"So many fishies!" Happy hollered, having stars in his eyes upon seeing the various kinds of fish in the aquarium.

"These look like ordinary fish to me." Carla said, out of annoyance.

"He's not caring in the slightest." Pantherlily said.

"Hey, Gajeel. Look at this fish," Levy showing Gajeel a tri-colored fish that glowed brightly with the water.

"It's just a fish, squirt." Gajeel said, though Levy pouted in annoyance.

"Looks pretty tasty to me." A voice said, causing Gajeel and Levy to see Ryo staring at the fish in a lazy manner.

"Was he here the whole time?!" Gajeel and Levy thought in unison, not having known the seafood expert was here with them.

"Ryo! Don't go wandering off without me!" Alice called out, showing up with lots of bags in her hands that made her tired.

"You even made me carry all this stuff when you are suppose to be my aide!" Alice added.

"Sorry. But the fish was captivating." Ryo said.

"Your expression says otherwise." Carla said.

"Yohohoho! These new fish are rare specimens indeed." Brook commented, now having shown up alongside Franky.

"IS THAT A TALKING SKELETON?!" Levy, Happy (who stopped looking at the fish to notice the newcomers), Carla, Pantherlily and Alice thought in unison, taken completely by surprise of Brook's appearance.

"By the way, young ladies." Brook turning his attention to Levy and Alice. "Would either of you be and to show me your-"

Brook didn't finish because Franky slammed his large fist on the skull. "Not at teenagers, man." Franky said.

Gajeel, Levy, Happy, Carla, Pantherlily, Alice and Ryo sweat dropped.

Inside the hotel, Nami and Robin were finished with signing rooms in and started to head out. Along the way, they wanted to rest at the main lobby.

"Phew! All taken care of." Nami said.

"We could go looking for the others. Zoro mostly since he's not with us." Robin explained.

"Oh, that idiot can get himself lost for all I care. I just wanna sleep here." Nami explained, not wanting to deal with Zoro's bad sense of direction.

At the reception desk, Erina and Hisako just finished

"Everything's all done, Erina-sama." Hisako explained.

"I think we should relax for a little bit. All that prep work really took it out of me." Erina calmly explained, which Hisako nodded.

Erina proceeded to the lobby, but suddenly, she was meet with two other people that crashed into her accidentally, which shocked Hisako and got the curiosity of Nami and Robin.

Erina rubbed her head as she sees the two that ran into her by accident. Those were Lucy and Yachi, coming to sign in for their groups as well from different directions.

"Oh my god! I'm so very sorry!" Yachi panicked.

"I was in such a rush I didn't see you two. Please forgive me?" Lucy asked, hoping to get an apology.

"Uh…" Erina didn't know what to make of this chance encounter. "N-No, no! It's alright! I wasn't paying attention either."

"Erina-sama's actually apologizing. That's showing consideration." Hisako commented to herself, surprised at seeing the headmistress of Totsuki trying to fix an accident with strangers.

From the background, Robin chuckled. "Aren't those girls interesting?"

"More like weird." Nami answered, having a sweat drop on her forehead.

Zoro was walking around the beach by himself while avoiding any unwanted attention. And reason being… he's lost yet again when he was supposed to be helping Nami and Robin.

"Jeez, where the hell did everyone go?" Zoro asked himself.

Zoro continued walking until he saw Luffy, Natsu, Ruby, Hinata and Soma flying high while screaming. A red tick mark appeared on Zoro's forehead.

"Damn that captain…" Zoro growled.

Luffy, Natsu, Ruby, Hinata and Soma continued screaming as they were still flying in the skies. But eventually, they became to descend downward at a rapid rate.

"We're falling~!" Ruby and Hinata hollered, not able to get speak clearly because the strong wind pushing against their faces.

"Somebody stop this ride!" Soma hollered, holding onto a sick Natsu.

The only one who was having fun was Luffy, laughing away without a care in the world.

Luffy, Natsu, Ruby, Hinata and Soma eventually crashed down near the center of town, slammed into a fountain with all the water being risen before falling down, splashing onto the five of them and some bystanders.

They were silent for a while because they were dizzy and knocked out, but just a few seconds later they got up… and laughed.

"Shishishi! That was the best ride ever!" Luffy laughed.

"Yeah! Who knew that icy idiot would actually make something fun!" Natsu chirped.

"We should do that again!" Ruby hollered, pumping a fist in the air.

"Yeah! And let's get our friends in the mix!" Hinata chirped.

"They're gonna love this!" Soma hollered.

They continued to laugh for a while to the confusion of the audience. Until Luffy's Observation Haki kicked in and turned to the left alleyway with a serious look. The other four stopped laughing to notice the change in Luffy's expression.

"Something wrong?" Ruby asked.

Natsu suddenly began to sniff the air and caught something not right. "I smell trouble. And it's bad." He said.

"That can't be good." Soma said, getting serious now.

"And I think it's coming this way." Hinata said.

"Yeah." Luffy said.

Footsteps that made a strange sound were dashing towards Luffy and the others fast before jumping around to make a circle to surround the five. The source of those footsteps came from what appeared to be robots that stand at the average male height with red and black coloring, and armed with both arm cannons and energy blades.

Luffy, Natsu, Ruby, Hinata and Soma were shocked to say the least.

"Let the fun… begin." The figure said.
