Hi everyone. So here is something to has been bothering me for a while in this website. Is the lack of One Piece x Hunter X hunter crossover. I mean those two are like brothers, being released at the same time and while we joked about the continuous hiatus that Hunter x Hunter has, don't forget when its going is really good. One piece might be the last one standing of the original Shonen catalog, but I felt that they deserve a proper crossover.
It took me a while to find the perfect setting and the perfect group and then I got it. This will be the York New arc but with the Straw Hats. Now keep in mind I am going with the crew after Skypia, because they were pretty much at the same time. I think York New ended pretty much in 2002 or 2003 and we were in the midst of Skypia during that time. So, I think is perfect.
And yes, you read the summary correct, the pirates will meet the Spiders. Stay tuned to what happens next.
At the Sky Island.
The Straw Hats, now loaded with lots of gold, food, dials and others good that they got from the amazing experience that they had in this floating were ready to set sail to the regular sea. Thanks to Luffy the habitants were now free from the ruthless ´´God´´ Eneru and they could live and peace and harmony again. So right now, most of the people were saying goodbye to their friends.
''Have a safe trip.'' Said Connis.
''Yes, good luck.'' Said Gan Fall
Luffy and the others continued to wave at their friends while the Merry was almost reaching the last cloud.
''Ok captain the sail are ready and we can finally go.'' Said Nami.
''Oh yeah. We are going to get back to the sea.' Said Luffy all excited.
The entire crew was ready to get back in the water. However, they forgot one thing.
''Be careful in the drop!'' Said Connis
''Drop?' Asked the group.
They were still in the sky so once they reach the last cloud the Merry Go started to fall and most of the crew eyes pop out of pure terror. They were now going down with full force.
''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!'' Scream most of the crew in pure horror.
The inhabitants of the Sky Island saw this and either laugh or were horrified by this. They also forgot that people from the Blue sea can't find a proper way to get down. Thankfully Connis took out a whistle and blows out.
''Octopus- Balloon.'' Said Connis
The straw Hats felt that this was their last moments on Earth as they started to fall even more. However in the middle of the drop, the ship stopped going in an accelerated speed and felt that it was just floating.
''What happened?'' Asked Nami shaking still.
''Are we dead?' Asked Usopp.
''I don't know.'' Said Chopper.
''Hey guys check it out!'' Said Luffy pointing at something.
They all looked into what their captain was pointing and it was pretty clear.
''It's an octopus.'' Said Zoro.
''What! Where did he come from?'' Asked Usopp.
''I don't know.'' Said Sanji.
''I thought we were a goner.'' Said Nami all safe.
''At least we can reach he sea with no problem now.'' Said Robin.
Soon the crew heard a huge sound from ta distance.
CLANG CLANG
That was the golden Bell of Shandora, that was the greatest sound that was going to be heard for kilometers. The crew all smiled at that, they proved that Nolan wasn't a liar and manage to give the skypian what was rightfully theirs.
In another part.
Mont Blac Cricket was listening to the sound of the Golden Bell with joy. After all those years, those kids proved that his ancestor wasn't a liar and the city of gold was real. Now that he stopped with his quest, it was time to go on into new adventures.
''What sort of adventure do you guys wanna chase after next?' Asked Cricket to his followers.
''Boss!' Scream Masira, Shoujou and his man all excited to set sail with their boss.
While that was going on in the city of Mock town, Bellammy was being forced to battle his crew to end. All because Doflamingo was pissed at them.
''I don't need a weakling like you under my flag. I think you should all disappear.'' Said him moving his fingers at the buffed pirates.
''Wait!'' Scream Bellamy in horror as he battles his former crewmates.
Back with the Straw Hats.
After the Octopus dropped the crew into the sea, it was time to navigate normally and go back into exploring the grand line.
''We are back. We are back into the blue sea.'' Said Luffy all happy.
'Still we went to an extraordinary place, didn't we?" Asked Sanji while puffing some smoke.
''It seems even farther after having fallen from it.' Said Robin.
''It's like we were in a dream.'' Said Nami looking at the sky.
''Well, it was a country of dreams. Think we´ll be able to go again someday?" Asked Chopper.
''We´´ll be able to when we die right? Or close enough.'' Said Zoro with a chuckle.
''Zoro you think you´re gonna make it into heaven?" Asked Usopp sweating.
''Alright! Man, drop the sails. We´re going to the next island.'' Said Luffy to his crew.
While everyone was happy to be back on the water, after the huge trouble that Eneru and his priest gave them, the Straw hats decided to stop and relax for a while.
''Hey Luffy.'' Said Nami.
''What?" Asked him.
''I was thinking can't we just stop at island and relax. I mean…we need time to process everything, plus with the waves of the ocean at the moment we are going to be nonstop for a while. We need some rest.'' Said Nami.
The straw Hat captain heard what his navigator was saying and thought this actually would be a good idea.
''I guess you are right. We need a vacation…man we are stopping to relax at the next island we see.'' Said Luffy to his crew that looked a little relieved.
''Let's all go at full force!'' Scream Usopp.
''Yes!'' Scream Luffy, Chopper and Sanji.
The crew was now sailing at full force and escaping deadly waves. The crew was now exhausted and really Nami plan was like a blessing for them, however there was the problem with directions at the moment.
''Should we head East or West?' Asked Sanji
''Uh…'' Said Usopp not sure.
''Let's flip the coin or whatever.'' Said Zoro
''I think its better he go East. I feel that the clime there will be better.'' Said Nami.
''Ok.'' Said Sanji moving the wheel of the ship.
The ship was now heading to the East direction and with the sea all calm, the crew won't need to be going around running at the deck like crazy for a while.
''Ok, we will be like this for a few hours. Let's get inside, we have business to do.'' Said Nami
After counting all the gold that they got in Skypia, the crew saw it was the time to give the Going Merry a repair. Not only that but also getting a carpenter to always get the ship fixed, while Usopp is a great repair man he is not a fully and experiment carpenter. So whatever place they go next it would be great to find a carpenter or something to get the Merry going on for a few months.
A few hours later
Now with their problems resolved the crew decided to keep going and only stopping once they spotted an island. Lucky Zoro who was in the mest spotted one.
''Hey I see land.'' Said him
''What. How is it Zoro?'' Asked Nami.
''Is an island and is shape like a whale.'' Said Zoro confused.
''WHAT!'' Scream Luffy, Usopp and Chopper in shock.
The group went ahead and saw the Island that Zoro was speaking of it and he was right. The place did look like a whale from a distance and by the looks of all the boats nearby, it was a place full of people and commerce. Which means they can find food, gadgets and maybe a carpenter, plus it looks a great spot to relax, and they hoped that there wasn't any marine base near the area.
''That island looks awesome!'' Scream Luffy.
''Yes.'' Said Usopp
''It looks so funny. I can't wait to go there.'' Said Chopper.
''Indeed, the shape is unique. I never been to an island like this.'' Said Robin seeing the island.
''I think is more of fishman island. I can see a lot of those people nearby.'' Said Sanji looking at all the boats at the dock.
''Plus, it would be nice to relax on a place that doesn't have a lot of pirates for once.'' Said Nami.
''Should we use the gold there?" Asked Luffy.
''No, are you crazy! I bet if we arrived with this everyone would try to snitch it. We will use later.'' Said Nami all serious.
''Ok.'' Said Luffy all calm.
''Then lets just go ahead and used whatever we have of money there.'' Said Zoro.
''I have some weird jewels that I got from the belly of the snake.'' Said Luffy with some jewels and diamonds that he put on his pockets.
The crew was in disbelief that Luffy had this amount of goods and only told them now.
''Eh, whatever that should do it.'' Said Zoro grabbing the jewels.
At Whale Island
Gon was showing Killua around the town and pointing out the best part of the great island to his best friend.
''This is the dock. When the Hunter Exam started, I went on the boat that departed here, this is also where I first meet Leorio. He and me had to ran because we almost missed the boat.'' Said Gon remembering when it all started.
'Usually, I can see Leorio doing this mistake, but you Gon? I guess you weren't that smart a few months ago.'' Said Killua with a smirk.
''What! That's not very nice Killua.'' Said Gon.
''Do you remember all the dumbs decisions you made in Heavens Arena?" Asked Killua
''Yeah.'' Said Gon remembering all his mistakes.
''You still have a lot to learn. No wonder you are so weird.'' Said Killua.
Gon was a little down for the moment, however he soon got a little better once he spotted something new.
''Hey look.'' Said Gon pointing at something.
The ex-assassin looked at what the young Hunter was pointing at and saw a weird ship, with a sheep on the front and a skull flag coming up.
''Is that another fisherman ship?" Asked Killua.
''No, I don't think so.'' Said Gon.
''So, what is it?'' Asked Killua.
Gon had to look a little further to see what kind ship it was. After some examination and the skull on the flag, there was only one conclusion.
''I guess is a pirate ship.'' Said Gon.
''Really?'' Asked Killua in surprise.
Gon didn't know if he should be excited or worried. He never saw a pirate in his life, and he didn't know if he should fight or show them around town.
''Did you ever saw any pirate?' Asked Gon.
''No, only in book and Tv. What about you?'' Asked Killua.
''No, I only thought they were just a myth.'' Said Gon
''Do you wanna check it out?'' Asked Killua.
''Why not? Let's go.'' Said Gon excited.
Gon and Killua went to the docking part of the port where they would wait the people from that weird ship to come out.
Soon after landing in the island, the straw Hats were ready to walk and explore.
''Let's go and dock the ship quickly.'' Said Luffy.
''Sir, you can dock right there. Is free.'' Said Gon.
''Oh thanks kid.'' Said Luffy.
After docking their ship, the crew went out. Luffy first thing was to thank Gon for giving him a spot.
''Say that was really nice.'' Said Luffy tanking Gon.
''Well sure. You seen new around Whale Island, so I think is fair.'' Said Gon.
''Say is this place called Whale Island? Because of the shape?" Asked Nami to the two kids.
''Yes, the distinct look is what set Whale Island apart from all the other island in the continent. We are known to attract a lot of fisherman's and merchants.'' Said Gon.
''That so cool. This place looks interesting to explore.'' Said Sanji looking around.
Gon only smile at this group. If they were pirates, they must be the nice and friendliest kind. After that he decided to give some introductions.
''I´m Gon Freecss and this is my friend Killua Zoldyck.''
''Hey.'' Said Killua.
''Hi there. My name is Monkey D. luffy and these are my crewmembers Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper and Robin.'' Said Luffy presenting his crew.
Soon the duo of kids meets and exchange handshakes with the other group. Overall they seen to be getting along fine.
''You are all pirates?' Asked Gon.
''Yes, and one day I will King of the pirates.'' Said Luffy all cheerful.
Gon could only laugh and smile at this. Even though he meet Luffy for one minute he already liked his cheerful attituded.
''Woah what weird creature is this one?'' Asked Killua looking at Chopper.
''I´m a reindeer!'' Said Chopper all pissed.
''Reindeer? What kind of reindeer are you freak?" Asked Killua.
''I´m a special reeinder you jerk!'' Scream Chopper
''Whatever.'' Said Killua non challan.
Gon could only laugh at that. Unlike him, Killua wasn't the best in social talks.
''Hey do you brats know a place where we can get some food and get drunk?'' Asked Zoro wanting some booze.
''My aunt owns a pub.'' Said Gon.
''oh good, take us there.'' Said Usopp wanting some to drink.
''Sure, no problem. If you guys are also hungry there is also food there too.'' Said Gon.
''At least it will be good not cook for one night.'' Said Sanji.
Soon the group arrived at Mito pub and with the jewels that Luffy had they were able to get a lot of food and a lot of booze. Mito might had won a lot of money that day, but she would lose at lot because of what the group was drinking and eating.
''Wow Gon, your new friends sure have an appetite.'' Said Mito in shock as she saw Luffy devouring various plate of food while the other Straw hats try to eat at their own pace.
''Yes, Aunt Mito. He sure is wild like an animal.'' Said Gon with a chuckle.
The Pirates decided to know more about this place, luckily Gon and Killua were there. Gon actually knew more about the island because he lived there his entire life, while Killua was just trying to have some talk.
''So, you two are friends for how long?" Asked Usopp.
''We actually meet not too long ago. Both of us were taking the hunter exam.'' Said Gon
''The what?" Asked Luffy with his mouth full.
Gon and Killua were baffled by this. These people didn't know what a hunter was. Well not everyone knew what a hunter was so they must think since these people were pirates and spent a lot of time on the sea, they didn't need it to have a license. So, it was best to explain to them.
''A hunter is a person that has incredulous ability and area able to explore all parts of the world. You also are able to get more information that the average person and also government secrets. Me and Killua took the exam with some other friends, and we all became hunters. Sadly, Killua didn't pass it.'' Said Gon
''Its ok. The year is ending and soon I can take the next exam.'' Said Killua.
''Wow. Be a hunter must be awesome.'' Said Luffy with stars in his eyes.
''Yes, I bet I can also be a hunter.'' Said Usopp with a smirk.
''Must be good be able to get more information than the average person. I think I would also fit into this Hunter position.'' Said Robin liking this idea.
''Are Hunters know for going into a lot of adventure?" Asked Chopper.
''Is a dangerous profession. While the license helps you get in some places, it can also attract some of the most powerful and cruel people in the world into your life. We learned that soon after I got my license.'' Said Gon remembering facing Hisoka a little after getting his license.
''Well, this only gets me more interested.'' Said Zoro with a grim. He could only imagine what kind strong swordsman were also hunters.
''But what else can a hunter discover? Is there some sort of book that explain all that?" Asked Robin
''Miss Robin at the moment I don't know. I think there is, but usually we use computers and once you scanned your license they give all the classified information possible.'' Said Gon making Robin liking this idea more and more.
''Then being a hunter must come with some good prizes.'' Said Nami thinking of all the money that these hunters might have.
''Tell us more about being a hunter. I wanna know!'' Said Chopper all excited.
The two boys laughed at out and continued to explain what a hunter can do. It wasn't like being a pirate because you have to follow rules, but still being a hunter must be real fun.
Mito was seeing the two hanging out with that weird group and couldn't help but chuckle.
''It seen Gon and Killua have made some new friends.'' Said Mito to her grandmother.
''Yes, and it looks like we are going to need to close soon.'' Said the old lady.
''Grandma, is still morning.'' Said Mito.
''We are out of food. That straw hat kid ate even the raw fish.'' Said the old lady making Mito sweat drop.
After some minutes of talking the group was seeing to be having a really good time.
''Boy this surely hit the stop.'' Said Luffy.
''You ate most of the food you black hole. Next time leave something for us!" Scream Zoro.
''Are you sure he is human.'' Asked Killua.
''Yes, he is. Even though he more of a monster than person.'' Said Usopp.
''Cool.'' Said Killua.
Killua looked at the time on the clock that was in the pub and saw it was getting late. He and Gon were doing daily research on Greed Island before heading to York New in a few days.
''Hey Gon, I think we need to go. We still need to make the research.'' Said Killua
''Yeah, you are right. Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all but we need to go.'' Said Gon ready to leave, much to the pirate's confusion.
''What. Why?" Asked Luffy wanting to keep talking.
''Is secret and…'' Said Killua but Gon kept talking.
''Killua and I are doing some research.'' Said Gon.
The paled teen only looked annoyed at his friend as Gon kept talking.
''We are on a mission.'' Said Gon.
''Ooooh. What kind mission?" Asked Luffy interested.
''We are looking for my father. You see he is a hunter, and I haven't seen him since I was a baby. We learned that before he had me, he was working on a game and we think this is the next step into finding him.'' Said Gon giving his reason. Not the full story but a good summary to the pirates.
''Oh a game. What is called?'' Asked Nami
''Is called Greed Island and is pretty rare apparently.'' Said Killua decided to also talk. Gon pretty much revealed everything.
''Seriously?'' Asked Sanji.
''And is also pretty expensive.'' Said Gon.
''Oh, I don't like where this is going.'' Said Usopp looking at nervous Nami.
''How much it cost?" Asked the orange haired navigator.
''Right now, it cost nearly 8 billion zeni.'' Said Gon much to the pirates shock.
''8 billion!'' Scream the entire crew except Robin.
''Wait a minute. He said Zeni, why not Berrie?'' Asked Usopp.
''We must be on another continent. One that doesn't have tie with the world government.'' Said Robin.
''Oh ok, that makes sense.'' Said Usopp.
Luffy wanting to know why this huge chase. Sure, Gon gave the reason, but he wanted a motive. Something that makes the green haired kid chase after this idea.
''Why are you doing this?'' Asked Luffy.
Gon didn't know why, but he wanted to tell his new friends of why he is doing all this struggle to find his father.
''Because the job of a hunter is to find things. It is said that the most skilled and powerful hunter can find anything in the world. My father apparently is someone difficult to find so I wanna try to reach him.'' Said Gon
''Is your dream to find him?'' Asked Sanji with a raised eyebrow.
Gon only smile and say what he has in mind.
''Yes, I wanna find my father more than anything. I wanna show him how much I grow over the years and all my adventures. But most importantly I want him to meet Killua.'' Said Gon with a smile as killua blush.
Luffy and the others laugh at this, the Straw Hat captain was interested in this journey. Plus, while with that kid he could learn more about what being a hunter really means.
''Let me help you Gon. '' Said Luffy much to the two surprise.
''Really! You will do that?'' Asked Gon with a smile. More people helping him would be better.
''Yeah, we are friends. We can help you look for this weird game. Plus, it will be lots of fun and if anything we can give you a hand.'' Said Luffy with a smile.
''Oh, thank you mister Luffy. Do you guys wanna go to my house? We can look for more information online.'' Said Gon.
''Sure, I don't know about the last part but me and my crew would like to do that. Am I right guys?" Asked Luffy to his crew.
''Sure.'' Said most of the crew nodding or saying ´´yes´´.
While Gon was amazed by this new group to help him, Killua not so much.
''Why he wants to help a kid that he meet not even a day.'' Asked Killua confused.
''Luffy has a tendency to find excitement and adventure anywhere he goes.'' Said Chopper with a smile.
''Yes, when you are with Luffy boring is something that you will never be.'' Said Usopp.
''Look we are not in a hurry. We can help Gon for a while and then head back to the ocean.'' Said Nami.
''Well pale kid do you have anywhere to go?" Asked Sanji to Killua.
''I don't know eyebrow. I am staying with Gon at the moment, and we are leaving this island soon so we better start using the time we got.'' Said Killua.
Mito saw Gon talking with the group and wondering if they would go with him to York New. He told her that he and Killua would go there to meet some friends and she accepted that. But she felt there was a lot more than that.
''Gon if and your friends want to use a computer, you can use the one at the house.'' Said Mito.
''Sure, hey guys do you all wanna go to my house?' Asked Gon.
''Sure, we promise to not give you much trouble.'' Said Robin.
''Yeah, we will behave.'' Said Usopp.
''Thank you aunt mito. We will be going right now.' Said Gon leaving the pub with Killua and the straw Hats.
''I will make sure that nothing goes wrong or robbed in your house Mito-san.'' Said Robin.
''Oooh Mito-chan thanks for letting use your house. When you return I will cook something nice and warm. Bye Bye.'' Said Sanji full love mode leaving the pub.
Mito and the grandma could only look confused at what was just that. This was without a doubt, the weirdest group of people they ever seen, and they live in a crazy world.
Meanwhile Gon run towards his house as he guide Luffy and the others to tell them all about Greed Island and the future auction that will happen soon.
So, we have a setting and soon the main pieces will come into play. Now I have to admit, the York New city arc is my second favorite arc in Hunter x Hunter. I know is kind cliché that many people put the Chimera Ant arc and then this one in their list, but I can't help it. Is so good.
First, I need some pace and the characters to know each other. Then when we get to the city, is when shit will get serious.
Let's see what happens next.
