Everyone was at the dinner table.

"Kuro, why did you join strawhat?" Law questioned.

Kuro looked at Law as if the man was stupid.

"Think about it Law, my Cap is high quality and low maintenance. Think of other pirate captains, they make their crew walk the plank if a mistake is made. If they don't have booty they're mad. But my Cap? My Cap only needs meat to be happy and he doesn't make people walk the plank. What's not to like?"

Law frowned, Kuro's logic was stupid but it made sense.

Law turned to Luna, "Why did you join?"

Luna shrugged, "Honestly at this point, I don't know, it was the heat of the moment. Think about it, if I didn't ask to join, Luffy here would have made me walk the plank."

"No, I wouldn't!" Luffy stammered.

Luna had a doubtful face, "I'm sure Kuro would have convinced you to."

Luffy pouted and went back to eating meat.

Law turned to Robin, "Why did you join?"

Robin smiled, "I needed a new host and they were right in my sight."

"Forget I asked," Law turned away.

A cannon fire rang outside and became alert.

"Looks like we got trouble," Nami muttered.

Everyone went out of the dining room and onto the deck.

Far away, they saw the Blackbeard pirates on a giant raft.

Luna pulled out a snail and started recording.

"Zehahahahahaha, let's see you face me on the sea!" Blackbeard laughed far away.

"Who lives in the pineapple under the sea?!" Kuro yelled and took a stance.

Zoro and Kuina took a stance with him, "SpongeBob SquarePants!"

Everyone's eyes widened as a force of immense haki shot forward and destroyed the Blackbeard Pirates.

"Well that was easy," Kuina muttered.

Zoro took a glug, "I thought they would be serious trouble since you wanted us to do a special attack."

"What was that?!" Luffy's eyes shined.

"A special combo attack," Kuro smiled.

"I want to do it too!" Luffy jumped up and down.

Kuro looked towards the Blackbeard Pirates' remains and saw a flying Stronger carrying them.

"Alright Cap, you, Luna, and me, let's do it."

"Yeah!" Luffy cheered.

Luna, Luffy, and Kuro took a punching stance.

"Collapsing!" Kuro yelled.

Luffy didn't know what to say after that but Luna did, "Star Cannon!"

The three punched and a huge force of haki slammed into the Blackbeard Pirates.

They fell into the ocean.

"Should we save them?" Usopp wondered out loud.

Kuro shrugged and looked at Luffy.

Luffy nodded at him.

"We'll have to tie them to the mast," Nami frowned.

They sailed over to the drowning Blackbeard Pirates and tied them up to the mast.

"Let's give them to Ace or the Whitebeard Pirates," Luna suggested.

Luffy thought about meeting Ace again, "Alright."


Chopper tried to wake up Kuro, "Kuro wake up!"

Kuro void out loud, "Don't do this Chopper, it doesn't have to end this way!"

"What are you talking about?" Chopper frowned, "No wait, Blackbeard and his crew escaped."

Kuro dug his head into the pillow, "Yay I guess."

"They took Robin!" Chopper cried.

"I'm sure Robin can take care of herself," Kuro sighed.

"They took Nami!" Chopper cried.

"Nami can definitely take care of herself," Kuro replied.

"They took Kuina!" Chopper cried.

Kuro became still for a moment.

"Eh, I'm sure she'll be fine," he yawned.

"They took Sanji!" Chopper cried.

Kuro fell into thought.

They took Robin for the Poneglyph, Nami so they'd get lost in the new world, Kuina because she tried to protect the two, and Sanji to starve them.

Very cunning and smart in Kuro's opinion, but they forgot one small detail.

Kuro had poisoned them without their knowing.

If they don't receive the antidote from Kuro, they were going to die a very painful death.

Kuro wouldn't tell Chopper though, Chopper might snap if he found out Kuro was poisoning people.

Kuro raised his hand and patted Chopper's head with a yawn, "Alright, lead the way."

Chopper nodded and quickly led the way outside.

In the horizon, they saw Stronger carrying the entire Blackbeard crew along with their hostages.

With hostages, they were sure they most likely weren't going to be attacked.

Kuro yawned, he was getting old and sleepy these days and he could feel it.

Flying up towards the sky, Kuro possessed a cloud and started sucking the air.

Stronger was no longer able to fly as it was pulled back by the wind.

"Good job Kuro!" Zoro yelled and swung.

Burgess blocked with Robin and Sanji rushed in to shove the two.

The three managed to survive.

"Watch where you're swinging!" Tashigi yelled.

Zoro frowned with a tch, even if the attack had landed on Robin, it would have passed through and cut Burgess, Sanji had messed it up.

Luna grabbed Zoro, and before he could speak, Luna threw him toward the Blackbeard pirates.

Understanding what she intended, Zoro released his rage unto the Blackbeard pirates.

Without steady ground, the Blackbeard pirates struggled against Zoro and fell one by one.

Zoro cut the restraints of the hostages.

Stronger couldn't hold the weight anymore and fell towards the ocean.

Robin used grew arm wings on everyone and carried them back to the ship.

The Blackbeard pirates were tied up again.

Luffy looked at them frowning.

He did not like the fact they put his crewmates in danger.

Out of the corners of Luffy's eyes, he saw Kuro was about to go to sleep.

"How come you didn't detect them escaping?" Kuina questioned.

Kuro shrugged sheepishly, "Their threat level was too low they couldn't register on my scanner."

Kuina sighed rolling her eyes.

"What should we do with them?" Usopp frowned.

Luffy had steel in his eyes, "Let's make them walk the plank."

Kuro and Luna became still for a moment.

A grin formed on their face.

Everyone watched as Kuro tossed Luna a bloody bag and took out a plank.

He placed the plank down as Luna threw bloody chum into the water.

Quickly, sharks started swimming around the chum.

"What are you doing?" Tashigi questioned confused.

"What pirates are supposed to do," Luna smiled.

The Blackbeard pirates gulped.

"Let's talk about this Strawhat!" Teach laughed scared.


"Kuro, take bath, you smell!" Kuina eyed.

Kuro sniffed himself.

She was right, he did smell.

If only he had old spice.

Water gushed out of Kuro's body and took all the nasty stuff away.

Kuina blinked twice, "What? What was that!?"

"Oh, that was just a cleaning technique I used to clean myself," Kuro responded.

"Oh," was all Kuina could say.

Luna sniffed herself, "I also smell, hit me up."

Kuro cringed, "No way, I'm not touching your cooties."

Luna looked deadpanned at Kuro, "Remember that favor you owe me? Either you do it or I'll request something more unreasonable."

Kuro sighed and closed his eyes, thinking quickly, he had an idea.

He took a part of Luna's ghost and fused it with wobbly water.

Luffy's eyes shined as he looked at the wobbly water, "What is that Kuro!"

"It's a cleaning slime, you can think of it like bungee gum," Kuro explained.

The cleaning slime was picked up by Luna and it started absorbing the nasty off her.

"Bungee gum?" Luffy tilted his head.

"Bungee gum possesses the properties of both rubber and gum," Luna explained.

"What?" was all Luffy could utter.


"Traffy, anything fun to do?" Luffy whined.

"No," Law replied deadpanned.

"Kuroooooo!" Luffy yelled.

Kuro's voice sounded in the air, "I'm sorry but Kuro's not here, would you like to leave a message at the tone?"

"Uh," Luffy was confused, "Yes."

A beep sounded, "Please leave your message."

"Kuro, I'm bored, I want to do something fun!" Luffy inputted.

"Thank you for your input," a beep sounded.

Luffy smiled wondering when Kuro was going to receive his message as Law looked stupify.


At the dinner table, Law and everyone noticed something peculiar.

Kuro was dressed like Kuzan, Sanji was dressed like Kizaru, and Luna was dressed like Akainu.

"Why are you dressed like the admirals?" Tashigu questioned curiously.

"It's dress up day," Luna replied.

"You gotta dressed up as someone else," Kuro explained.

"They bribed me," was all Sanji could say.

Luffy's eyes shined, "I want to dress up too."

Kuro held a thumbs up, "Sweet, why don't you dress up like Roger or maybe Garp."

"Yeah!" Luffy quickly finished his meal and went towards his room.

Nami took a deep breath, Luffy was definitely going to make everyone dress up.

Luffy came back into the dining hall dressed as Garp.

"Bwahahahahaha, I'll give you all my fist of love!"

Kuro and Luna choked out a laugh.

Tashigi held back a laugh and choked.

"A ten out of ten!" Luna yelled.

"A ten out of ten from me too!" Kuro yelled.

"I'll give it a nine of ten, the scar is in the wrong place," Sanji stated.

Luffy pouted with a smile, "You next Nami!"

"No," Nami deadpanned.

"The winner of dress up day gets a hundred million berri," Luna stated with a smile.

Nami stood up and walked out of the room.

Quickly, she came back into the room dressed as a Cipher Pol.

She smiled devilishly and eyed over her sunglasses, "If it isn't Nico Robin."

A laugh came out of Robin's mouth.

"The drip is too strong! Ten out of ten!" Kuro yelled.

"I like the sun glasses, ten out of ten!" Luna smiled.

"Ten out of ten," Sanji swooned.

Nami smirked and flexed her muscle.

She sat back down and Usopp went outside with a smirk.

Quickly, Usopp came back inside as Sogeking.

Luffy's eyes shot out, "It's Sogeking!"

Everyone sweat dropped, Luffy was too Luffy sometimes.

"I've seen the face of a god, ten out of ten!" Kuro stated.

Luna narrowed her eyes, "No slingshot, seven out of ten."

Sogeking looked at his hand and pulled out a slingshot.

"Much better, ten out of ten," Luna smiled.

"Four out of ten for being a better sniper than Usopp," Sanji deadpanned.

Sogeking sat down calmly and Luffy started analyzing him curiously.

Brook's went out and came in back as grim reaper with a scythe.

"Look at all these fresh lives I'll reap one day," Brook smiled grimly.

"Eeeeeee," Chopper hugged Robin.

"Very realistic, ten out of ten," Luna stated.

"Very scary looking, ten out of ten," Kuro smiled.

"Seven out of ten for scaring Chopper," Sanji stated.

Brook's laughed and sat down,

Franky rubbed his chin with interest and went outside.

He came back dressed in a battle suit.

"All of you will be terminated," Franky voiced coldly.

"So cool!" Luffy's eyes shined.

"Ten out of ten," Kuro stated.

"Ten out of ten," Luna stated.

"Five out of ten, you're not dressing as anyone," Sanji stated.

"I feel like Luna and Kuro are going to keep giving ten out of ten," Usopp muttered.

Robin stood up and everyone's eyes shined.

As one of the smartest strawhats, her dress up would surely be next level.

Robin sweat dropped, she was actually just going to put her empty plates away.

With a smile, Robin decided to play along and went outside.

Everyone waited patiently.

Robin came back dressed in as Boa.

"Am I not the most beautiful?" Robin smiled.

Luffy dropped to the ground laughing.

"You're the most beautiful, a hundred out of ten," Sanji heart eyes.

Kuro felt conflicted, he did not like Boa, but as a judge, he should be fair, "Nine of ten."

Sanji stared deadpanned at Kuro.

Luna rubbed her chin and studied Robin carefully, with money on the line, she wanted Nami to win, "Sorry Robin, but truth is, the game was rigged from the start. Negative one hundred out of ten."

Robin shook her head with a smile and sat down.

The other strawhats joined in on the dress up along with Law, Tashigi, Momo, and Kin'emon.

In the end, Nami won.
