One Bleach

In this chapter, the Straw Hat Pirates are going to have their ship stolen! Oh no! It looks like they had better get it back…

Oh, and Karin's going to become a Visored…isn't that nice.

And of course Nami's going to resume Hollow slaying…what crazy Hollow will she encounter next?

Chapter 8: Shipjacked

As Luffy's crew was sleeping, they were woken up with a big surprise.

As it turned out, they were under attack by pirates.

"Not again!" exclaimed Luffy.

However, they weren't under attack by ordinary pirates this time.

As it turned out, it was the dreaded Arlong Pirates, lead by Arlong himself…in case the name didn't make it obvious.

They were a group of fishman that weren't exactly fond of humans. In fact, they considered themselves to be superior to humans.

Unsurprisingly, they decided to oppress them and steal their precious treasures. The more loot, the merrier!

Curious, Luffy went outside to see what was going on.

"What do you want from us?" inquired the leader of the Straw Hat Pirates.

"We're here to collect a debt that your crewmate Nami owes us…" explained Arlong.

"Nami owes you a debt?" inquired Luffy.

Suddenly, Orihime stepped out of her new bedroom.

"Luffy, what's going on?" asked the teenage girl.

"We'll be taking your ship now…" stated the fishman pirate.

"What?!" exclaimed Luffy.

Sure enough, several Fishmen suddenly exited the Straw Hat Pirates' bedrooms. They were carrying Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp.

"Toss them overboard!" ordered Arlong.

Arlong's fishermen crew did just that. Luckily for Luffy, Orihime was able to get them for shore. Whether they were just lucky or Arlong was in a good mood they did not know.

Either way, they were short a ship.

Oddly enough, as soon as the Straw Hat Pirates were tossed overboard, the goat head on the front of the ship's smile turned into a frown, and the skull on their pirate flag let out a tear.

"How much do you think this ship is worth?" inquired Hatchet, one of Arlong's crewmates.

"I don't know…but I'm pretty sure it will cover the debt that Nami owes us…" noted Arlong.

"Where is Nami anyway? I don't think that she was onboard the ship…" questioned Chew.

"Did she suddenly disappear?" inquired Take.

"That is a problem…" acknowledged the Fishman captain. Without Nami, how were they going to map the Seven Seas?

But for now they could finally collect the money that Nami owed them…why did she spend so much, anyway?

Immediately, they sailed away with their stolen ship, leaving the Straw Hat Pirates without their trusty vessel.

"Where are we?" inquired Orihime.

"It appears we're in some sort of jungle…" noted Luffy.

"You mean like in Ohfortheloveofpete's other fanfic?" asked Usopp.

"If so, it probably is dangerous…" answered Sanji.

"We had better take caution…" suggested Zoro.

Orihime nodded.

Hopefully there would be something that they could use to build another ship or light a signal fire. Failing that, there was hopefully something that they could eat. Luffy was a big eater, as the Straw Hat Pirates knew already.

Little did they know that the island was not empty.

Meanwhile, in Ichigo's world…

Once again, it was time for Karin to practice soccer. For some strange reason, though she was the only female, all of her teammates were less masculine than she was. It was kind of embarrassing.

But at least there would be enjoyable to play soccer with. She wouldn't be practicing it otherwise.

Besides, she happened to have the locker room to herself…so she didn't have to worry about any obnoxious female soccer players.

However, she was feeling a bit strange after Luffy had fought against that Menos Grande along with her friends. Personally she thought she had stepped in something…but she wasn't quite sure what.

When she went to retrieve her soccer uniform, she accidentally ripped the locker door off.

"What the-" exclaimed Karin.

Oh well. She didn't have to worry about anyone else trying to steal it anyway since she was the only girl…unless some perverted boy tried to break in.

But none of her soccer playmates seemed that interested in her…so…

"Here I go." said the preteen girl. Personally she wondered how long it would be until she hit puberty. She didn't think it was long now.

Sure enough, her teammates were waiting for her.

"Hey!" exclaimed one of them.

"Hello." said Karin.

It was time to play soccer.

Immediately, Karin kicked the soccer ball…

…and it ripped directly through the net.

"Um…" murmured Karin. Did she not know her own strength?

Curious, the goalie went to take a look at the net.

"There's no way I can compete against her! I'm out of here!" bellowed the goalie.

The goalie's teammates followed as well.

"Do we win by forfeit?" asked Karin.

"Apparently…" answered one of her teammates.

Karin sighed. She was hoping for a longer soccer match.

Suddenly, she noticed there was a Hollow, who apparently wanted to play soccer…and win by eating the souls of his opponents.

Personally she wondered if there was something that she could do.

Shrugging, she decided to try kicking it in the face…and hope that she didn't end up having her soul eaten for her trouble.

Her family would certainly miss her if that happened…and she would end up like her poor mother. She was in Soul Society now.

Fortunately, she managed to kick apart the Hollow's mask with one blow.

"That was too easy…" noted Karin.

However, she felt the peculiar urge to try on the Hollow's mask shortly afterward. Wouldn't that result in her becoming a Hollow?

"I guess I'll put it on just for a second…" thought the teenage girl.

As soon as she did so, she suddenly felt the urge to try drinking the Hollow's blood.

She did so, and suddenly she felt like she could take on the soccer world championships.

"Wow…" murmured Karin.

She then began to eat the Hollow, who tasted oddly enough like cotton candy.

However, she didn't eat the whole thing, as she was getting full.

"What's going on?" questioned the teenage girl. She didn't recall wanting to drink Hollow blood before.

Now that she thought of it…didn't she come in contact with Hollow blood earlier?

At that very moment, her father arrived. Apparently, he was back after his long absence.

"Father!" exclaimed Karin.

Immediately, she went to hug him.

"Good to see you again...but why are you wearing that mask?" inquired Isshin Kurosaki.

Karin took off the Hollow mask so that she wouldn't scare young children. Besides, it wasn't Halloween yet…it would come next month.

"Hey, dad…I think something might be wrong with me…" answered Karin.

"Do you have a cold?" asked the Soul Reaper.

"For some strange reason, I feel the urge to drink Hollow blood…and I feel a lot stronger than before…" noted the preteen girl.

"Hmm…I think you may have become a Visored…" questioned Karin's father.

"A Visored?" inquired Karin.

"They're Shinigami that just so happen to have obtained Hollow powers…generally, it's considered taboo in their culture…" noted Isshin.

"That's too bad…" answered Karin. She couldn't help the fact that she had those powers now.

"Oddly enough I'm not sure that there are Visored out there that can eat Hollows…but maybe you're something special…" questioned Karin's father.

"Yeah…maybe I am." shrugged the soccer player.

"Do you want to go Hollow hunting with me sometime? I wasn't really expecting you to become a Shinigami of sorts…but maybe that's just the way it is. Besides, I think your sister and your brother might be hunting Hollows already…" noted Isshin Kurosaki.

"Really?" inquired Karin.

"I guess we're one big Hollow hunting family…" questioned Ichigo's father.

"I suppose…" nodded the preteen girl.

Personally she wanted to eat more Hollows…though this may have been due to the fact that she hadn't eaten lunch for a while.

Apparently, playing soccer for too long was starting to get to her stomach.

"Can we go home now? I tore a hole in the soccer net…" asked Karin.

Karin's father nodded.

Immediately, the two of them went back home.

Meanwhile…

Rukia was glad that she would get to go back home soon…but at the same time she wondered if Ichigo would like to keep fighting Hollows.

It seemed to have grown on him as of late. Perhaps it was his true calling.

So, she decided to get a Soul Candy Dispenser so that he could fight Hollows whenever he wished.

While he was at it, maybe his sisters would be interested in fighting Hollows too. That was what their father did.

Granted, they were a bit young compared to Ichigo, but still.

Fortunately, the Soul Candy Dispenser was available for cheap.

But at the same time, something seemed off about it.

Rukia decided that she could look into the Soul Candy Dispenser later. For now, she was sure that Ichigo would want this.

But at the same time, something seemed off about Ichigo as of late. Did he get a new haircut?

Maybe she should ask him about that later.

Immediately, she went home to where Ichigo was.

"Um, hey there, Rukia! How are you doing?" inquired Ichigo.

Curious, Rukia noticed that Ichigo seemed nervous about something…though she wasn't quite sure what.

"Is something the matter?" asked the brunette Soul Reaper.

"No, no! Nothing's wrong at all!" exclaimed the substitute Soul Reaper.

Somehow, Rukia wasn't so sure that was true.

"Well, I bought you this Soul Candy Dispenser. That way you won't have to rely on me to rip your soul out anymore…" explained the teenage girl.

"Um, thanks…" answered Ichigo.

For some strange reason, Rukia couldn't help but shake the feeling that Ichigo was going to give the Soul Candy Dispenser to someone else…

…but who could that person possibly be?

"Let me know if you need anything." said Rukia.

Exiting the room, she left Ichigo to his own devices.

At that very moment, Nami crawled out from underneath Ichigo's bed.

"Why have you been sleeping underneath my bed?" inquired Ichigo.

"It's surprisingly comfortable down there…even if I have trouble breathing." noted Nami.

Ichigo shrugged. Fortunately, it appeared that he was light enough not to squish Nami when she went to bed.

"Anyways, Rukia got me this Soul Candy Dispenser…but since I've been depowered maybe you should try using it instead…" suggested Ichigo.

Suddenly, they noticed that the Soul Candy Dispenser was beginning to shake.

"What's going on here?" questioned Nami.

Shortly afterwards, a spirit came out of the Soul Dispenser and entered Ichigo's body, much to Nami's surprise.

Immediately, the spirit began to investigate his new vessel.

Curious, Nami wondered what was going on.

"Are you alright, Ichigo?" inquired Nami.

As soon as the spirit realized that there was an attractive female in front of him, he began to drool.

"Why are you drooling?" asked the pirate girl.

Suddenly, "Ichigo" began to grope Nami.

"What are you doing?" inquired Nami.

"So sexy!" exclaimed "Ichigo".

Fortunately for Nami, she managed to kick him away. And yet, for some strange reason, part of her enjoyed that. She wasn't quite sure why.

Immediately, "Ichigo" left to look for more attractive girls.

"What's going on with him?" inquired Nami. She never recalled Ichigo to be a pervert…though admittedly she was rather attractive.

Was he tired of not having a girlfriend? If so, maybe she should feel a bit sorry about him.

However, she wouldn't be surprised if someone filed a restraining order against him later.

Perhaps she should go after him and stop him from getting into any more trouble.

"Wait…maybe he's possessed by something?" inquired Nami.

If so, maybe she should hire an exorcist. They might be able to help.

At that very moment, Karin and Isshin Kurosaki arrived home.

"Greetings, son! I'm back!" exclaimed Isshin Kurosaki.

"And so am I…though I'm a Hollow-eating machine now…" said Karin.

Sure enough, she was munching on a Hollow mask.

"Let me through so I can meet more girls!" bellowed "Ichigo".

"What?" asked Karin.

Immediately, "Ichigo" darted past Isshin Kurosaki and Karin to look for attractive girls.

"What's gotten into him?" asked Isshin Kurosaki.

"Your guess is as good as mine." answered Karin.

As it turned out, "Ichigo" did not have to look far to find attractive girls.

In this case, they were Tatsuki and Chizuru.

"Jackpot!" exclaimed "Ichigo"

"Hello Ichigo. Have you seen Orihime?" asked Tatsuki.

"Yeah! I want to make out with her!" bellowed Chizuru. Where could she have possibly gone?

Suddenly, "Ichigo" went up to Tatsuki.

"Huh?" inquired the teenage girl.

He gave Tatsuki a kiss, causing her to scream.

Immediately, she slapped him in the face.

"You pervert!" exclaimed Tatsuki Arisawa.

Ignoring what Tatsuki had done, "Ichigo" decided to kiss Chizuru as well.

"Darn it, Ichigo! I'm a lesbian!" exclaimed Chizuru.

Unfortunately, "Ichigo" wasn't in the mood to care.

At that very moment, Nami showed up along with an exorcist.

"Hey, Ichigo! Would you come here for a moment?" inquired Nami.

"Ichigo" nodded. Anything for an attractive female, especially for the first girl that he had laid eyes upon entering Ichigo's body.

Unfortunately, it was a trap.

Immediately, the exorcist read from the bible, and the spirit possessing Ichigo left his body.

"What happened?" asked the spirit.

Shrugging, he decided to enter Nami's body since she was so attractive…

…but Nami had thought of that, and she held a teddy bear in front of her at the last second. Specifically, it was Yuzu's teddy bear. She had found it underneath Ichigo's bed.

Personally, she wondered if she had been looking for it.

Unsurprisingly, the spirit ended up inside the teddy bear instead.

The exorcist then trapped the spirit inside the teddy bear so that he couldn't possess anyone else.

He shook his paw in anger.

"Curse you!" bellowed the teddy bear.

"What should we call you?" asked Nami.

"Kon, I guess…" answered Ichigo.

"Fine, you win! I won't possess anyone else!" exclaimed Kon.

"What are you, anyway?" inquired the substitute Soul Reaper.

"I'm an experiment by Soul Society…that they considered inhumane…" explained the possessed teddy bear.

"Oh." answered Ichigo.

"Nowadays I get a kick out of attractive females…" noted Kon.

"That explains a lot…" answered Nami. Personally she thought that she should sue him for sexual harassment, the pervert.

"Can I use the soul dispenser now?"

"I suppose…" nodded Kon.

While she was at it, maybe she should file a restraining order against the teddy.

But on the other hand, he would probably be happy to look after her body while she ripped her soul out.

She just hoped that he didn't go anywhere past first base while she was lifeless.

"If you need me, I'll be fighting Hollows." said Nami.

Immediately, Nami ate one of the Soul Candies, causing her spirit to leave her body.

"You had better not try anything." warned Ichigo.

Kon began to whistle.

At the jungle where the Straw Hat Pirates currently are…

Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates searched throughout the jungle, hoping that they could find their way off of the island.

"I hope that we aren't stuck here for the rest of our lives…" worried Orihime.

"Me too…" nodded Luffy. There probably wasn't much to eat.

Suddenly, they came across what appeared to be a village belonging to the Meeteeter Tribe.

"That's a relief." acknowledged Sanji. Apparently, this island happened to be inhabited.

However, as they were quick to discover, the natives weren't friendly.

Out of the blue, a cage fell on top of them.

"We're trapped!" bellowed Usopp.

Curious, the Straw Hat Pirates wondered what was going on.

"I think we've got company…" warned Zoro.

As it turned out, they had been captured by the tribe…who unsurprisingly had several markings on their faces.

They also appeared to be wielding spears.

And unfortunately, they appeared to practice cannibalism, as they were boiling water inside a cooking pot.

"They're not going to take off our clothes, are they? It would be rather embarrassing if that happened to me in front of you guys…" noted Orihime.

"Er, yeah…" nodded Luffy.

Oddly enough, Sanji didn't seem too embarrassed about that possibility.

Suddenly, they noticed something that was rather strange.

In the center of the Meeteeter village was a statue. Apparently, it represented their goddess.

Strangely, it resembled someone that they knew…but Luffy wasn't quite sure what…

However, he then realized who it resembled.

"That statue looks just like you, Orihime…" said Luffy.

"Huh?" asked the teenage girl.

Apparently, the natives had noticed this as well, as they stopped what they were doing and went up to her.

"Huh?" asked Orihime.

"We are not worthy! We are not worthy!" bellowed the natives.

As it turned out, they were bowing down to her.

"This is awkward…" noted the teenage girl.

For some strange reason, every time the natives built a statue dedicated to one of their gods (or goddesses, in this case), someone washed up on the shore that looked just like them.

It was kind of uncanny.

Immediately, the natives lifted the cage and set the Straw Hat Pirates free.

They then dressed Orihime up…by making her wear nothing but a strapless coconut bikini and a hula skirt, as well as some body paint on her cheeks, legs, and arms.

They also offered her a hula necklace, but as it turned out, it made her sneeze.

"This outfit is a bit revealing for my tastes…" noted Orihime.

"If it makes you feel any better, I think it looks nice on you!" exclaimed Luffy.

Orihime began to blush.

Fortunately, the natives were now hers to command…and she asked them nicely to build a boat.

They managed to finish it in no time flat…however, it appeared to be dedicated solely to her.

"It sure was nice of them to build a boat that looks like me…" noted Orihime.

Luffy nodded.

Curious, Orihime noticed that the natives were now wearing her clothes.

"Eh, they probably need it more than I do…" answered the teenage girl.

After saying goodbye to the natives (even though they had tried to eat them), the Straw Hat Pirates set sail on their new ship.

However, they still wanted to recover their old ship, since it was their pride and joy.

But where could it possibly be?

Curious, they checked their map to see where Arlong and his pirates had gone. It was a shame that Nami was no longer on their vessel…it would make things a lot easier.

Suddenly, Orihime pointed out that there appeared to be some sort of park on the map.

"Huh?" asked Luffy.

Apparently, this was where Arlong and his pirates were hiding out…since the park's name in question was known as Arlong Park.

"It's a shame that it belongs to the pirate who stole your ship…it'd probably be a nice place to relax otherwise…" answered Orihime.

"Yeah…" nodded the pirate.

Personally part of him was glad that Orihime was now on this vessel…they might have noticed it otherwise, however obvious it seemed.

Still, he wondered if there was a way that he could bring her home…he was sure that she would appreciate if it she did.

That was what friends there were.

However, as soon as they set sail, Orihime realized she had a problem.

"I am so cold…" noted Orihime.

"What? Oh, that's right…the natives made you wear a strapless bikini and hula skirt…" acknowledged Luffy. At least it fit her perfectly.

Unsurprisingly, Sanji was beginning to drool.

"Perhaps we should go clothes shopping before we go get our ship back from Arlong…assuming he hasn't sold it already." questioned Zoro.

How many ships did he have, anyway? And why would Fishmen even need ships? They can swim underwater really fast…

"Yeah, I would appreciate it…" answered Orihime.

"For now, I know what to do!" exclaimed Luffy.

Suddenly, he wrapped his arms around Orihime, causing her to feel a lot warmer.

Immediately, she began to blush.

"Um, thanks…" said Orihime.

"Are you two in love?" asked Usopp.

Orihime and Luffy began to blush.

"We're friends…for now anyway." said Luffy.

"Yeah…what he said…" nodded Orihime. All she could say was, if Luffy was the last man on Earth, she would marry him any day. Granted, that probably wouldn't be such a big deal for her friend Chizuru if that ever happened…

Together, the Straw Hat Pirates set sail for the nearest clothing store so that Orihime could dress up like a pirate…or whatever outfit she wanted. Luffy was feeling rather generous, even though he had lost his beloved ship.

I hope you liked this chapter…even if Arlong and his pirates took the Going Merry. And yes, I'm not necessarily copying the Arlong Park arc…not yet anyway. I wanted to be a bit more creative this time…though admittedly people liked it when I parodied the Phantom Lord Arc in my Fairy Tail/Naruto crossover fanfic…

In the next chapter, Orihime's going to get to dress up like a pirate…and don't worry…she won't have to wear an eyepatch over one of her eyes or anything like that. She hasn't lost an eye.

And of course, there's going to be more Hollow-slaying. Isn't that fun?
