One Bleach
In this chapter, Luffy's going to get attacked by Sora Inoue…why you may ask? He's become a Hollow and now he believes Luffy is trying to take Orihime away from him…well, he's not really Sora anymore…now he's Acidwire.
Oh, and Ichigo's going on more adventures with the Straw Hat Pirates. We're going to be spoofing One Piece arcs too…granted, One Piece has a lot more arcs than Bleach was…but the Bleach arcs are a lot longer to compensate.
Funny how that works, huh?
Chapter 3: You Are Mine
"Hmm…this math book sure has a lot of problems…it must be unhappy." noted Luffy.
Orihime began to laugh. For some reason, she found Luffy's naivety to be amusing.
Of course, maybe that was expected from a foreign student. Where exactly was Luffy from anyway? Was he Mexican?
Curious, Orihime looked outside, and noticed that it was dark out.
"It sure is getting late…you must be enjoying my company." said Orihime.
"Uh-huh!" exclaimed Luffy.
"Still, you might want to get back home soon…your family probably misses you." noted the teenage student at Karakura High.
"They've probably been missing me for a while now…" stated Luffy.
"What? What do you mean by that?" inquired Orihime.
"Well, I happen to be from another world…" answered the pirate.
"Another world? Are you some sort of space alien?" asked the teenage girl.
"Sort of…" said the leader of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Awesome! We should do this again sometime!" exclaimed Orihime.
Shrugging, Luffy decided it was time to leave. Rukia might need his help again, anyway.
Sure enough, Rukia was waiting for him.
"You sure took your time, didn't you?" inquired Rukia.
"So…you're a Shinigami?" questioned Luffy.
"I am…or at least I used to be. After I transferred my power to Ichigo, I've been rather…weak." explained the former Shinigami.
"Why did you transfer all his power to him?" questioned Luffy.
"It was an accident." explained the depowered girl.
"Oh." said the pirate.
Immediately, Luffy and Rukia went home, where Yuzu immediately hugged the former.
"I'm so happy that you're back!" exclaimed Yuzu.
"Your dinner's in the fridge." spoke Karin.
Wasting no time, Luffy began to eat the food ravenously.
"Look at him go!" shouted Ichigo's younger sister.
"Hey! Save some for us!" demanded Ichigo's older sister.
Little did they know that at that very moment, a Hollow was stalking Luffy.
"He thinks he can take Orihime away from me, does he? He's got another thing coming…" said the Hollow that used to be Sora Inoue.
Unfortunately, ever since he had become a Hollow, Sora was a lot more…violent. Not only that, but he was hungry for souls.
Immediately, he watched Luffy and Rukia as they returned home, plotting his attack.
He would pay the ultimate price for trying to take Inoue Orihime away from him…he promised Luffy that.
Meanwhile at the Going Merry…
"Where are we going this time?" asked Ichigo.
"We're going to look for a treasure chest…rumor has it that there's one located in a cave that's not too far from here…" stated Nami.
"Oh really?" inquired the substitute Shinigami.
"Yeah…we might have to race another crew towards it though…they can be pretty greedy about treasure that they believe to be theirs…" pointed out Sanji.
"I'll say…" nodded Ichigo.
Immediately, Nami began to drink some alcohol.
"You sure you should be drinking that? You look to be a bit underage…" questioned Ichigo.
"I'm eighteen years old…so I'm not that underage. Besides, I am a pirate." answered Nami.
"I suppose…but I wouldn't want you to end up drunk…" noted the substitute Shinigami.
"I'll be fine. By the looks of it, you're about fifteen years old, are you not?" inquired the pirate.
"Yeah…I happen to be a high school student." nodded Ichigo.
"Something tells me that Luffy wouldn't do too well at school." acknowledged Nami.
"Why not?" inquired the substitute Shinigami.
"Well, just between you and me, he's not too bright." answered the navigator.
"Really?" asked Ichigo.
"Yeah…he keeps forgetting that he can't swim and he jumps right into the ocean…I'm a bit surprised that he hasn't drowned yet to be honest." questioned Nami.
"He can't swim? Then why did he become a pirate?" inquired the substitute Shinigami.
"Well, he was hoping to find the treasure of the Pirate King…he decided to hide all his plunder somewhere…personally I'm drooling at the idea of finding it...where exactly he hid it is your guess as well as mine, though." noted the eighteen-year-old.
"You'd think he would take some swimming lessons." answered Ichigo.
"That wouldn't do him any good…once you eat a Devil Fruit, the sea doesn't want anything to do with you…that's why I never ate one. On the other hand, he was a terrible swimmer even before he ate that fruit." acknowledged Nami.
"Oh really?" questioned the substitute Shinigami.
"Yeah…in case you were wondering, a Devil Fruit is a fruit that you can eat to give yourself special powers…at the cost of being able to swim in the ocean, of course. I suppose you still might be able to swim at a swimming pool…so at least that's something." noted the pirate girl.
"That's interesting…I happen to have special powers myself…I can't use them without Rukia though." explained Ichigo.
"Who's Rukia?" inquired Nami.
"A friend of mine from my world…she's the reason that I have Shinigami powers…I had to substitute for her because she ended up transferring all her power to me by accident." clarified the newfound pirate.
"Whoops." said the belly lover (not that kind of belly, though she does like baring her midriff).
"Oh really?" inquired Nami.
"Yeah…if only she had been more careful…then again, maybe I should have been more careful." noted Ichigo.
During his first encounter with a Hollow, he had gotten a bit…crazy.
Thankfully, there weren't Hollows in this world…however, from what he knew about the strange world he was in, there were other things that could potentially get him killed…or arrested, anyway.
Who would have thought that he would end up becoming a criminal? Or a pirate? Now he was an enemy of the marines.
On the plus side, he had met some new friends, so at least that was something he could enjoy in this new world.
Still, he didn't think he would try underage drinking. He would probably get drunk…and then he would probably run around the Going Merry in his underpants.
If that happened, every member of the Straw Hat Pirates would be scarred for life…except for maybe Nami. Oddly enough, for some strange reason, she happened to have orange hair like he did.
It was kind of weird.
But maybe it was just a coincidence. They were from two different worlds, after all.
How exactly did he end up in this world, anyway? Did the inhabitants of this world want him for something? He didn't think there were any evil spirits in this world…but maybe he was wrong.
On the other hand, he was rather good with a blade…much like a typical pirate. However, these pirates seemed a bit atypical…he thought they would be more…bloodthirsty.
But maybe he shouldn't judge the Straw Hat Pirates stereotypically. They had allowed him into their group, after all.
"Is that what pirates are really like?" questioned Ichigo. Perhaps he should read over his history book.
Sure enough, the Straw Hat Pirates were unfolding their sails.
It looked like they were going on another adventure.
How many adventures had they had, anyway? They had lost count after a while.
Perhaps they should keep a scrapbook so that they can remember all the crazy adventures that they had ever gone on. That would probably be a good idea.
"Let's set sail!" exclaimed Nami.
Meanwhile at Ichigo (currently Luffy's house)…
Luffy was sleeping like a baby, unaware of what was about to happen…
…but Rukia was.
"Um, Luffy…there's a vicious Hollow heading straight towards you." explained the Shinigami.
"What?" asked Luffy.
Suddenly, Sora Inoue burst through the wall.
"I sure hope that Ichigo has house insurance." thought Rukia.
"You're trying to take Orihime away from me!" bellowed the Hollowfied brother of Inoue Orihime.
"Who are you?" inquired Luffy.
"I'm Sora Inoue…but you can call me Acidwire from now on." said Acidwire.
"Acidwire? Have you been using drugs?" asked the pirate.
Acidwire sweatdropped.
"No, I am not a drug addict. I am a bloodthirsty monster though." explained the Hollow.
"Oh. Wait, what?" inquired Luffy.
"For trying to take Orihime away from me I shall take your soul!" bellowed Acidwire.
"I've only known her for one day! Give me a break!" demanded the pirate.
"Um, you don't want to eat his soul…it tastes…nasty." explained Rukia.
"Be that as it may, Inoue Orihime is mine and mine alone!" exclaimed the Hollow.
"Can't we share her?" asked Luffy.
"Die!" bellowed Acidwire.
Immediately, Acidwire attempted to attack Luffy, who frantically leapt out of the way.
Rukia quickly removed Luffy's soul so that he wouldn't be a sitting duck against the Hollow.
He proceeded to punch Acidwire in the face, causing him to scream.
However, he grabbed onto Luffy's arm and burned it in retaliation.
"Ouch!" exclaimed Luffy.
"Be careful…Hollows can do that to you." warned Rukia.
"Is it serious?" inquired the pirate.
"He only gave you first-degree burns…relax." answered the former Shinigami.
"Phew!" exclaimed Luffy.
"Wait…one of them might be a second-degree burn." stated Rukia.
"Aah!" screamed the pirate.
Rukia sighed.
Immediately, Acidwire attempted to grab Luffy once more, but this time he was ready.
Once again, he kicked Acidwire in the face…in other words, his Hollow mask.
This time, a crack formed on it.
"Keep hitting him!" demanded Rukia.
"I'm on it!" exclaimed Luffy.
Unfortunately, Acidwire realized his weakness, and he began avoiding his blows.
Not only that, but he grabbed Luffy's ankle.
"Ouch!" exclaimed Luffy. Maybe he should wear an outfit that exposed less skin.
"Quit letting that Hollow touch you!" ordered Rukia.
"I'm trying! I'm trying!" bellowed Luffy.
This time, Acidwire tried to bite Luffy in the neck…
…only to be punched in the face once again for his trouble.
"Aaaugh!" bellowed Acidwire.
This time, part of his mask cracked off, revealing Sora Inoue's face.
Realizing that he was going to potentially get killed by Luffy if he continued fighting, Acidwire decided to run away.
"He isn't too brave, is he?" questioned Luffy.
"Luffy, we should tell Orihime about this. She might be able to reason with him." pointed out Rukia.
"Hmm…he did mention something about me trying to take Orihime away from him." noted Luffy.
Immediately, the duo went to Orihime's house to warn her about the ferocious Hollow.
Who would have thought that Sora Inoue would become a bloodthirsty monster?
At the High Seas…
Unfortunately for Ichigo and his new companions, it appeared that they couldn't go too far without a crazy psychopath attacking them.
Well, make that a bunch of crazy psychopaths.
As it turned out, it was a bunch of fishmen.
"What are these guys?" questioned Ichigo.
"They're fishmen…they hate humans with a passion." explained Sanji.
Appropriately, they were known as the Human Hunters…specifically, they had a thing for enslaving humans every now and then…when they weren't pillaging their ships.
"I can see that…" said the substitute Shinigami.
As it turned out, these fishermen were blowing raspberries at them.
"You think we should try pillaging their vessel?" asked Usopp.
"Fire away." nodded Nami.
Unfortunately, the fishermen had already beaten them to the punch, and were firing cannonballs at them.
Hopefully their hull would be enough to withstand it.
"I hope that the ship doesn't flood…" noted Ichigo.
"As long as our ship doesn't catch on fire, I think we'll be fine." answered Nami.
Fortunately, their ship did not spontaneously combust after she said that. Fire was the last thing they wanted onboard their pirate ship. Even flooding would be much more preferable…especially considering that they had a pump for bilging.
Deciding to return the favor, the Straw Hat Pirates opened fire on the fishmen as well.
However, they were proving to be more successful than they were.
"It looks like you bit off more than you can chew." said Nami.
Curious, one of the Fishmen noticed that the female pirate among the crew looked familiar…but he didn't remember where he had seen her before.
Shrugging, they decided it was time to board their ship so that they didn't lose their own.
Granted, they didn't have to worry about drowning considering that they could breathe underwater…but they had spent a lot of Beri on the ship and they had forgotten to get ship insurance.
"Charge!" bellowed the fishman captain.
Immediately, the two crews got into a swordfight.
"First the marines…and now this." thought Ichigo. This new world was crazy.
Sure enough, he was swordfighting with a Fishman…and he had the advantage.
After a few sword strikes, he managed to disarm the rival pirate.
"How could I lose to a human?" inquired the Fishman.
"I'm not your ordinary human…" pointed out Ichigo.
"I can see that!" bellowed the loser.
Immediately, he began to cry like a baby.
"He doesn't take losing well." noted the substitute Shinigami.
Quite frankly, neither were the rest of the fishman crew.
"Whose the superior species now?" inquired Usopp.
Eventually, they were victorious.
Unsurprisingly, the fishman captain wasn't happy with the turn of events.
"How could we lose?" inquired the fishman.
"Maybe because you underestimated us?" asked Zoro.
"You know…maybe we should ask if we can join Arlong's crew…he always seems to be hiring these days." noted another fishman.
Curious, Ichigo noticed that Nami frowned when the fishman mentioned that.
Immediately, the Human Hunters swam away like sissy little cowards.
"Well, I guess we'll help ourselves to what's in that ship..." said the newest member of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Quickly, the pirates began to withdraw plunder from the ship.
Sure enough, they had gotten quite a bit of loot.
"We're going to be rich tonight!" cheered Usopp.
"I hope they haven't been cooking human flesh…" said Sanji.
Zoro frowned. Something told him that these Fishmen would like to eat humans…
Fortunately, they did not find anything on the sort on the ship…except for someone's kidney.
"Aw man, they took someone's freakin' kidney!" bellowed Usopp.
"I wonder whose it was?" inquired Nami.
Ichigo shrugged. Wouldn't they need a big container of ice to store the kidney in?
"I wonder how much this ship is worth…" questioned Ichigo.
Hopefully, it was worth a lot.
Immediately, the Straw Hat Pirates set sail towards the nearest town so that they could sell their treasure.
"Wait, weren't we going to look for treasure?" inquired the substitute Shinigami.
"We'll do that…once we've repaired the Going Merry…" said Nami.
Ichigo shrugged. That seemed like a good plan.
Little did they know what crazy hijinxs that were going to happen there…
Back at Ichigo's world…
Orihime was sleeping in bed, sleeping awfully soundly.
For some strange reason, she was dreaming about Luffy without his shirt on…she wasn't quite sure why.
Maybe she was feeling a bit…lustful tonight?
However, she was woken up with a start.
"Huh?" inquired Orihime.
"Wake up!" demanded Luffy.
"Huh? Luffy, is that you?" asked the teenage girl.
"Hi…listen, I need your help with something…" answered Luffy.
"Is it your homework?" questioned Orihime.
"Actually…it's something different." explained the pirate.
"What is it?" inquired the female student.
"It's your brother, Sora Inoue…" answered Luffy.
"My dead brother? You knew him?" questioned Orihime.
"Well, I do now…now he's trying to kill me." said the pirate.
"Wait, what?!" exclaimed Orihime.
"I was hoping you could help me try to appease his spirit and put him to rest…I think he wants that…" noted Luffy.
"Say, do you hear something?" inquired the teenage girl.
Suddenly, Acidwire crashed through the wall.
"Darn it! Now I'm going to have to find a way to repair that…" said Orihime. Where did she put her wooden planks and her hammer?
"Lufffffyyyyy!" screamed Acidwire.
"He's mad…" noted Luffy.
Immediately, Acidwire grabbed Luffy and threw him against the wall.
"Luffy!" screamed Orihime.
"Oh my aching head…" murmured Luffy, rubbing his head.
"Are you alright?" asked the teenage girl.
"I think so." nodded the pirate.
"That won't do at all." said the Hollow.
Immediately, Luffy attempted to fight back…but it appeared that Acidwire was now faster than before.
Apparently, seeing Luffy with Orihime once again had made things worse.
Suddenly, Acidwire sank his teeth into Luffy's arm.
"Yeow!" screamed the pirate.
"You must die! Only then can Orihime and I be together!" bellowed Acidwire.
"Stop this!" demanded Orihime.
Suddenly, Acidwire turned to Orihime.
"Please, I beg of you! I've never forgotten about you! I've remembered you, always!" exclaimed the teenage girl.
Immediately, Orihime pulled out a picture of her and her dearly departed brother.
As she did so, a tear left Acidwire's eye.
"What's gotten into you? I don't think that you've been this possessive before…" noted Orihime.
As she began talking to Acidwire, cracks began appearing on the Hollow mask. Apparently he was starting to resist.
"Just because I'm friends with Luffy doesn't mean I've forgotten you…I've always loved you and I always will!" exclaimed the teenage girl.
More cracks were beginning to appear on Acidwire's mask.
"You love me too…right?" asked Orihime.
Suddenly, Acidwire's mask shattered.
"Did it work?" inquired Luffy.
"I'm not really sure what's going on…but I think so." answered the teenage girl.
Unsurprisingly, Sora began to turn back to normal. Apparently, Orihime had managed to purify him.
"Thank you for freeing me from that terrible monster, Orihime. I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused…" apologized Sora.
"It's alright…turning into a Hollow makes people do crazy things from what Rukia told me…" said Luffy.
"Yeah…" nodded Orihime.
"I think it's time for me to head to the afterlife now…that way I won't turn into a monster again…hopefully, anyway." said the ghost of the teenage boy.
Orihime pulled out some tissues and began to blow into them.
"Farewell, Orihime. I love you…" spoke Sora Inoue.
With that, Sora Inoue was finally put to rest, and Luffy did not have to worry about his soul being consumed.
"Well, it was nice to finally get to say goodbye…I sure as heck am going to miss my brother though…" noted Orihime.
Luffy stretched out his arm and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Huh? I'm not sure how you're stretching out your arm that far…but thank you." said the teenage girl.
At that very moment, Rukia entered the room.
"Did you get the Hollow?" inquired Rukia.
"I think so…" answered Luffy.
"Good…hopefully you won't have to deal with another Hollow like that for a while…" noted the teenage girl.
Immediately, Luffy and Rukia left Orihime's residence.
"That was rather…sad." noted Luffy.
"Yes…sometimes purifying Hollows can be like that." acknowledged Rukia.
A tear suddenly left Luffy's eye.
"Anyways, I brought something for you." said the teenage warrior.
Immediately, Rukia pulled out a picture of a bunch of stuffed animals.
"Yay! Thank you, Rukia!" exclaimed Luffy.
"Oddly enough you seem to be the only one that likes my drawings…it's kind of weird." noted Rukia.
Luffy shrugged.
"I'll let you know if there have been any more Hollow sightings in the area…inevitably, there will be. So try to make sure you're prepared, will you?" inquired the teenage warrior.
Luffy nodded.
Tonight had been a long night…and tomorrow night was probably going to be longer still.
Still, he was thrilled at the thought of adventure…especially in a place such as this.
"I can't wait for the next Hollow!" exclaimed Luffy.
Well, that chapter was surprisingly depressing…granted, it was a bit different from Bleach canon but still.
In the next chapter, Ichigo and the Straw Hat Pirates are going to town…but unfortunately they're going to get into a fight.
Oh, and Luffy's going to have a chance encounter with a serial killer…you may know him as Shrieker.
I hope you're enjoying this story so far!
Peace!
