I don't own Naruto or One Piece, but if I did... you know what I would've done. Also, I will have Naruto and Sakura dance to a romantic ballad. I am not writing the whole song. Just the first part: Bet you NaruSaku fans want to see that happen. I was gonna write this into two parts but I thought this will make it easier. With that said, enjoy.
"Destiny... fate... dreams... These unstoppable ideals are held deep in the heart of man. As long as there are people who seek freedom in this life, these things will not vanish from the earth..."
Nami, bewildered by the change in weather, peers inside the deck as they travel to Whisky Peak. She is wearing a green coat, a scarf with a plaid pattern in pink and yellow, and pink ear muffs. Sakura follows her, still looking perplexed.
"Can somebody please tell us why it's snowing? It was hot and sunny just a few minutes ago."
"I wonder that too, Nami." Sakura said as she put on her red coat, which she wears during the winter. She looks out and sees Naruto, Luffy, and Usopp building snowmen. Luffy added the nose as the finishing touch on his.
"Perfect! All done!" Luffy shouted. "Well, look who dropped in; it's Mr. Snow Barrel." Luffy said. Usopp laughed.
"Hahaha, you amateur. You call that pathetic blob a snowman?"
"What?" Luffy questioned. Usopp presents the ice sculpture he made to him. It was a young woman in the shape of a mermaid.
"Ha-ha! Your snow queen is nothing compared to my snow couple!" Declared Naruto. He showed then his snowpeople—an ice sculpture of him and Sakura holding hands. Sakura sees it from inside the deck holding her forehead.
"I don't know if I should be embarrassed or proud." She adds with a smile.
"Nice! But can your lady do this?" Luffy pushed his stick onto the snow queen's head. It took Usopp 3 seconds before he noticed the head was off. He squealed in anger, then kicked Luffy's snowman for revenge.
"Hey, you Big Bully!" Luffy roared. He and Usopp got into a scruffle. Naruto joined in so he could protect his Snow couple. Nami looks at the fight with disbelief.
"How can those guys be so freakin' energetic in the cold? is beyond me." She questions. Shen turns to Sakura, who handed her Cocoa. "Is Naruto always like this?"
"Honestly? Yes." Sakura says as she glances back at him. She smiles as he tosses snowballs at Luffy. "But I wouldn't trade it for anything." Nami smiled at her words, then looked at Luffy. She feels her heart beating again. Sanji was out shoveling out snow. He turns to the ladies with love-struck eyes.
"Nami, Sakura! Shall I shovel some more for you?" He asks. Both girls rolled their eyes.
"Just keep going till it's gone. You're doing great!" Nami told him.
"Thank you! My pleasure. Sanji uttered as he went back to shoveling.
"Excuse me..." Mr. 9 cuts in. "Doesn't this ship have heater? This environment is inhumane."
"I'm cold!" Miss Wednesday whined.
"SHUT YOUR MOUTHS!" Nami screamed. "YOU'RE NOT GUESTS! "You're not guests here. YOU WANNA WARM UP? GO SHOVEL UP THE SNOW!" Something then caught her eye. She looks up to see a bolt of lightning. As it got clearer, The crew see an island up ahead with cactus buildings.
"It's an island!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Lightning?" Nami questioned. "Lightning? First snow, then lightning. What's going on with this weather?" She then sees gusts of wind flowing. Sakura joins her, scratching her head in confusion as well.
"Nami, I haven't been much in this world, but I've never seen anything like this." She whispered. She looks over at Nami, who looked nervous.
"I know, Sakura. It's like what Crocus warned us." She said, recalling what the old man had said.
"So what are we going to do?" Sakura inquired. Miss Wednesday noticed their troubles and got Nami's attention.
"So what do you think? Ready to turn back yet?"
"You and your friends have no idea how to survive this place." Mr. 9 added.
"I noticed you haven't steered for a while. Is that wise?" Ms. Wednesday asked. Nami gasped.
"I know where we're heading; I just checked it a while ago." She walks out to take a look at the log pose.
"AHHH!" She screamed, grabbing the attention of her friends. Luffy and Usopp stop throwing snowballs.
Sounds bad." Luffy noted.
"Don't be afraid, I'll save you, Nami and Sakura!" The cook stated. With a scowl, Naruto hurls a snowball at Sanji, causing him to stumble. Nami gasps while looking at the log pose. Sakura knows nothing about navigation like Nami, but her face tells her this isn't good.
"No way," Nami said. She then turns to her crew. "Make a hard turn. 180 degrees, Hurry!"
"A 180?" Asked Usopp. "Why do you want to go back?"
"Did you forget something?" Luffy asked.
"The ship has turned around; we're sailing in the wrong direction. I only took my eyes off the log pose for a second." Nami stated. She looks at her log pose again. "I thought the waves were calm.
"You're not a very good navigator, are you?" Miss Wednesday mocked, making both Sakura and Nami growl.
"You can't trust anything here, not the wind, waves, skies, or clouds. Nothing is as it seems in the sea; the only way to get reliable directions in the Grand Line is with a Log Pose. Everyone knows that." Miss Wednesday explained. Both Nami and Sakura grabbed both Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday and pushed them out of the deck.
"Shut your mouth and make yourself useful!" Sakura ordered as they make their orders.
"Brace the yard!" Nami ordered. "Force the wind starboard. Turn the ship 180 degrees from the left. Usopp, take care of the lateen sail! Sanji, take the helm!"
"Leave it to me!" Sanji said.
"Naruto." Sakura said to her boyfriend. "You and Luffy..."
"Hey look." Usopp interrupted. "The wind's has changed."
"Huh?" Nami turned around, bewildered. She looks up to see the sky cleared up.
"The Grand Line sure is strange." Muttered Naruto.
"Hey, I think I just saw a dolphin jump. Let's follow it," Luffy pointed out. Nami grunted.
"YOU KEEP QUIET!" She shouted. The winds increased in speed. Usopp was checking for land and spotted something that looks hazardous.
"The waves are getting really high! And there's an iceberg at 10:00. This isn't good!"
"And it is getting foggy," Sakura said, covering her brow.
"This is crazy; what's going on?" Nami asked, clutching her face.
"This is the end! We're going to crash!" USopp cried. Sanji was steering the whipstaff out of the way, hoping to avoid the iceberg. Sakura and Nami joined to help him. Naruto looks over to see Zoro sleeping through all this, making him sweatpalm.
"Is he serious? Not even Shikamaru would sleep through this." Although the crew tries everything to avert the collision, the Going Merry strikes the iceberg and begins to tremble.
"Nami, water's coming in from the bottom of the Merry!" Luffy announced.
"Then go patch it!"
"Got it!" Usopp said as Naruto joined them with boards, hammersand nails. Nami looks up at the clouds getting closer.
"This wind is picking up!" She announced. Clouds became darker and moved in unison.
"Big time!" Luffy gulped while holding onto his hat. Miss Wednesday watched with widened eyes.
"No," she said.
"Pull in the sails! The wind is too strong! We're going to overturn!" Nami ordered as the storm moved closer. Sanji moved quickly and went to cook some food, coming out with some rice balls.
"Everyone needs to eat to keep their strength up!" He told them. Usopp, Naruto, Luffy, and Mr. 9 took a break and ate some of the rice balls, with Luffy gobbling his face with them. Sanji felt annoyed and punched him.
"Save some from everybody!" Sanji said. Nami and Sakura both look up in horror to see the sail rip. They both were holding onto the rope.
"Oh crap, the sail's going to tear.
"Forget about that!" Sakura said. "Fix the leak." Miss Wednesday opened the door to the bottom of the deck and saw more leaking.
"There's another part of the ship damaged below!" Miss Wednesday told them.
"Dammit!" Usopp seethed and wasted no time to fix it. Naruto and Luffy and the rest were pulling the ropes of the sails. It was a rough patch... but somehow, they managed to survive the weather.
The sky cleared up as the crew all fainted. Zoro let out a stretch and stood up, rubbing his neck.
"I'm all rested." He said. He walks over to the deck to see his crew lying down. Nearby, Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday were knocked down with Sanji and Usopp lying on the deck.
"Come on, the weather's nice and all, but it's no reason to be lazy." He then sees Nami lying on the rail next to Naruto and Sakura lying together.
"We would better be on the right track, that is all I could say." Hearing this made them growl.
"Shut up, you bastard!" They told him in unison. He looks down at the two whalers in confusion.
"What are you two doing here?" He asked.
"You fool!" Mr. 9 said.
"We're on a side mission to take them home. Their town is called Whiskey Peak", Luffy told him.
"Since when did we become a transport service for thugs? We don't owe them anything",
"I dunno," Luffy shrugged. Zoro scoffed.
"Why did I even ask?" He crouched down to examine the whalers. "So, tell me, what were your strange names again? Because I don't think you can be trusted." They both gulped and back away a little.
"Well, my name is Mr. 9."
"I'm called Miss Wednesday." Hearing that made Zoro rubbed his chin.
"Right... you know those names sound familiar, and that's what's bothering me." He said. "In fact, the more I think about them, the more certain I've heard them before." Both whalers gulped. "Or... maybe I have..." He felt someone punch his head. It was Nami, in a dark aura, looking very angry while Sakura's eyes went white.
"You jerk, you think you can just sleep while we do all the work?" Nami growled in anger.
"You're lucky; we're not tossing your lazy ass overboard." Sakura seethed. Zoro looked and gulped in fear as both ladies punched Zoro's head. After witnessing what both women did, the two thugs became terrified. Sakura dragged Zoro and shook him.
"YOU MAKE OUR FRIEND SHIKAMARU LOOK LIKE A WORKAHOLIC!" She screamed while Nami turned to the crew.
"Listen up, everyone! There's no way to know what happens next. During the terror that most of us just experienced, I came to an understanding of why this was named the Grand Line." She then raises a fist. "My navigation skills here are useless, but mark my words, and I will guide us through." She declared, making Usopp a bit skeptical.
"Um... are you sure about that, Nami?" The navigator's expression changed to a smile.
"Without a doubt... speaking of which...we're here, our first journey on the Grand Line comes to an end." All of the crew were relieved to hear that." Naruto and Sakura sighed with relief, then they celebrated by kissing each other. Luffy and the others laughed.
"It's an island," Luffy said.
"So this is Whisky Peak." Sanji said. "The landscape isn't anything I've ever seen."
"Whoa, those cactus's are humongous!" Luffy exclaimed. Both Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday both jumped on the rail of the ship.
"Thank you, but we must be leaving." Mr. 9 said.
"It's been an interesting ride, to say the least." Miss Wednesday said.
"Perhaps we'll meet again." They both chuckled.
"Bye-bye, baby!" They said as they jumped backwards and swum ashore. The Strawhats were confused.
"That's a quick exit." Nami replied.
"I guess we'll never know what they're up to." Usopp said. Sakura crossed her arms in suspicion.
"Don't you think it's odd that they asked us to take us here and then they just took off?" She asked. Nami places her hands on her hips and nods with the pink-haired medic.
"You're right, Sakura."
"Aw, who cares! We're landing!" Luffy shouted.
"Look, there's a waterway right up to the shoreline. Looks like we can go inland by ship." Usopp can feel his body shaking.
"I'm weighing the possibilities of monsters out there." He said.
"It's definitely a possibility." Sanji said. "This is the grand line."
"No problem; if we find monsters, we can just leave." Luffy said.
"That is not true. according to what Crocus said, it's imperative that we stay on this island at least for a little while."" Nami said. They all turned around.
"But why?" Luffy asked.
"The log pose The log pose needs enough time to record the island's magnetic field so until that time we have to stay put. The log pose requires a different amount of time for each island. Some will take a few hours; others may take several days." Nami explained. Sakura walks besides her.
"She's right, not to mention we need more medical supplies. some of mine got blown away during the storm." Usopp whimpered.
"Suppose this island is crawling with monsters, but we'll get stuck here waiting. That's stupid. we'd be done for! What's the point of navigation coordinates if we're dead!?"
"We're staying." Nami stated. Naruto nodded.
"If we do see some monsters, we'll take care of them! I faced worse."
"Naruto's right." Agreed Luffy. "Besides, if there are any, they're not even there."
As strange as it seems, I agree, there's no need to worry yet." Zoro said.
"Now that that's settled, let's keep going! I'll keep you safe, Nami and Sakura." Hearing made Naruto and Luffy stare at him. Luffy then shakes it off.
"Why does what he said about Nami bother me?" Usopp cuts in and gulps.
"I think that I'm getting sick; it's called I can't go on that island disease. You guys just go on without me." He said, hoping they buy it and leave him in the ship, but Sakura tells him...
"You're going." Sakura ordered. He collapsed, raised his hands, and whimpered. Nami looks toward the crew.
"Alright, get ready and make sure that you're prepared to run as well as fight." She spoke. The crew made certain to be ready for battle in case.
"Please don't let us die..."
"As a ninja, you must always prepare to strike." Naruto informed his crew while crossing his hands. For them to fight together, he leaned close to Sakura. Luffy raised his fists in preparation. Pretty soon the fog was clearing up. Luffy sees dark shadows.
"Something's moving over there." Luffy commented.
"Be on your guard, everyone." Nami warned. Usopp brings out his slingshot.
"Well, I may have to fight monsters, but at least I came prepared. Whoever's out there, I'm ready! Show yourself and face my wrath!" Usopp said while Zoro was about to bring his sword. The ship went from silent to a band of cheers.
"WELCOME TO THE GRAND LINE!"
"PIRATES, WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU HERE AT WHISKY PEAK!" This leaves the crew all confused.
"Uh... what is going on?" Asked a confused Sakura.
"Beats me." Answered her boyfriend.
"Those aren't monsters; they're people, and they actually seem happy that we're here." Usopp commented. Sanji swooned over the women.
"I never seen so many cute girls all at once!"
"ey!" Luffy and Naruto cheered, while Sakura and Nami exchanged suspicious looks. The Merry docked as it pulled into the port and the straw hats stepped out. In front of them was a large man with a red nose and yellowed, powered hair.
"Welcome! My name is Igarappoi. And my honor as mayor is to welcome you to Whisky Peak." He told the straw hats.
"Well, that's great. I'm Luffy; nice to meet you."
"And I'm Naruto." He points to his head. "Nice hair. I like the curls."
"You'll find that this is the place that thrives on making liquor and music. Hospitality is a pride in our town. The smiles run long and the liquor flows as bountiful as sea water. Would you permit us to throw a party in honor of your honor? And-" He stared, coughing, then shouted, "Ma-ma-ma... tell your tales of adventures?"
"WE'D BE GLAD TOO!" Naruto, Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji cheered and ran to town, leaving Sakura, Nami, and Zoro behind with crossed arms.
"Idiots..." Both Sakura and Nami muttered. Nami turns to Igarappoi.
"By the way, how long does the log pose take to record this island's magnetic field?"
"Log what? Such boring details will have to keep for now. Now let's prepare to party! Sing and be Merry! Let's entertain our guests!" The crowd cheered and led Nami to a bar. Sakura walks but is eyeing this suspiciously. Something about this doesn't feel right.
"Then I looked at them straight in the eye, and I said, Sea kings, don't dare touch my friends or you'll have to answer to me!" Usopp tells his story to a bunch of villagers. The girls swooned over his story.
"Wow, you're amazing, Captain Usopp!" The woman swooned.
"Well, even I trembled when facing the deadly landscape of the calm belt. Trembling with... excitement!" He finished the story.
"Whoa really?" A male villager asked, interested in his story. He raised his mug. You're a true hero. Igagrappoi offered Nami and Zoro some mugs.
"Don't worry..." His voice caught up, then he cleared it, saying, "Ma-ma, Ma-ma... "What you have is a very special drink made by the very sweetest premium berries. It contains all the flavor of a fine wine but zero alcohol." Nami then tried a sip, then she smacked her lips.
"That is good." Nami said. Sakura smiled, and then she was looking for Naruto, who was gobbling over some ramen. She lets out a giggle. Even in a different world, he is still a ramen obsessed freak. She walks over to him and hugs him from behind.
"Some things never change," she said. Naruto noticed from behind and grinned. He gives her a kiss on the cheek.
"So, what are you doing, gorgeous?"
"Looking for you, handsome." Sakura answered. Naruto wipes his mouth and leans his arms around Sakura's shoulder.
"So... this is kind of fun, being a pirate. You don't have boring missions. We can decide our own hours."
"Um... you did that the night before we left for our mission." Sakura quipped with a smirk. Naruto rubbed the back of his head and laughed nervously.
"No comment." Sakura shook her head, then she heard a piano play a few notes. They looked over to see two singers at the Karaoke bar. Naruto bowed to her.
"Would you like to dance, milady?" He asked as he took her hand and led her to the dance floor as the female singer started the first lyric...
"We were strangers, starting out on a journey. Never dreaming of what we'd have to go through. Now here we are, and I'm suddenly standing at the beginning with you." Naruto put his hand on Sakura's hip and started to walz as the male singer sang his part...
"No one told me I was going to find you. Unexpected, what you did to my heart. When I lost hope, you were there to remind me."
"This is the start..."
And life is the road, and I want to keep going. Love is the river I want to keep flowing. Life is a road, now and forever, a wonderful journey. I'll be there when the world stops turning. I'll be there when the storm is through. In the end, I want to be standing at the beginning with you."
Naruto spun her out and then drew her back in, and they continued to dance, the song lyrics wrapping around them. As soon as the song ends, Naruto pulls the pink-haired medic close to her and gives her a deep kiss. The people cooed at that romantic moment.
Nami and Zoro were having a drinking contest. Zoro had his tenth drink while Nami... had her twelfth one. Luffy was eating all the meat he could eat. Sanji was surrounded by over 20 girls. Igarappoi smirked after having this party.
"Oh yes, indeed. I'm quite pleased."
Meanwhile, back at a cabin, Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday were writing their report.
""We do formally admit complete failure in our mission to secure food. However, it should be duly noted that without the slightest concern for our wellbeing, we bravely succeeded in leading the gang to Cactus Island. Sincerely and with best regards etcetera, etcetera, baby." He finished writing with Miss Wednesday smirking. "There... that'll do. Now we'd submit this and with any luck... all is forgiven. Now, we submit this and with any luck, all is forgiven."
"Right. I'll put it in the unlucky box immediately." Miss Wednesday said. He hands her the letter and she heads out to deliver the message.
"I'm calling it quits." Zoro slurred as he put down his mug and fainted. Nami looks displeased.
"Oh, Luffy collapsed in his seat, his stomach fully inflated and stuffed. Luffy collapsed in his seat, his stomach fully inflated and stuffed. Luffy collapsed in his seat, his stomach fully inflated and stuffed. on! You quitting already, Zoro? You wuss!" Nami looks to see her final opponent is a nun. Naruto and Sakura stopped dancing and looked at each other.
"Should we... stop her?" Naruto asked.
"Nah," Sakura said. "I think Nami's got this..." She said with confidence.
"My child, forfeit for your own sake. There's no Disgrace." The nun insisted. Nami gives out a laugh.
"I appreciate the concern, sister, but I'm not quitting that easily!" She refuted as she took another sip.
Luffy collapsed in his seat, his stomach fully inflated and stuffed. More cooks collapsed on the floor beside him, exhausted.
"Ha-ha..." Naruto laughed nervously. "Good thing Luffy enjoyed his meal." They then watch the nun faint, making Nami the winner.
"YES!" Nami cheered. "I've won! The prize money is all mine." She said as she collapsed. Both Naruto and Sakura found a couch and shrugged since they were going to be there all night; they might as well lie on a comfy couch. He leads her while holding her hand. and she tested her head on his shoulder, and they both dozed off.
;
"They've worn themselves out partying and are fast asleep. Sweet dreams, brave adventurers. My how the cactus rocks gleam under the pale moonlight, beautiful as ever." Igarappoi said. He is now outside of the cactus building with Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday on the roof above him.
"As I may say, your poetic skills are beyond compare, Igarappoi. I mean, Mr. 8." Mr. 9 said to him. Mr. 8 turned around, seeing the two behind him.
"Oh, it's you." He replied.
"So where are they?" Miss Wednesday asked.
"They're falling..." He began as he clenched his fists. "Straight to hell." They then hear a door open. They turned around to see it was the nun that fell to Nami in the drinking contest.
"Damn, my head's killing me. I'd never thought that girl could drink so hard. There was sleeping agent in their drinks strong enough knock out a sea king. I don't know how she withstand it for so long. But, at least she's finally out. So tell me, was it really necessary to put on such an elaborate show for those idiots?" She as she removed her Nun robe and revealed to be wearing a red and white checkered dress.
"I get nobody wants to hear me whine. But I just want to point out the amount of food that we've wasted when we could've just ambushed them at the door. We're already short on supplies. It's not like anyone had high hopes for that whale meat or anything." She stared at the two whalers.
"Well, why don't you try it then!? We tried our best, you know!" Mr. 9 Exclaimed.
"Both of you Calm yourselves." Mr. 8 cuts in. "Before you question my plan, you should see this." He shows them a bounty poster of Luffy and Nami. All three of them had their jaws dropped.
"WHAT?"
"30 million berries for the straw hat and 25 million for that idiot blonde guy?"
"Which one?" The nun asked. "The love struck the cook, or the one that has the pink-haired one as his girlfriend.
"Well, the blonde spiky one had "2,500,000 million, but that was a misprint." Mr. 8 explained. "But This is the real amount. But anyway, looks can be deceiving. That girl's... " Once again, his voice caught up to him, so he said, "Ma-ma-ma... that goes for all of you."
"I'm sorry." Miss Monday apologized.
"It's no matter." Mr. 8 refuted. "Our prey has been trapped, and that's news the boss will enjoy. Now, confiscate everything of value on their ship."
"So what do we do with them now?" Miss Wednesday asked him.
"Kill them?" Mr. 9 asked.
"If they die, then the bounty drops thirty percent, plus they want the girl alive. The government prefers to hold public executions. I need them alive."
"Hey.. sorry to interrupt." A voice called out to them. They gasped and turned around to see Zoro, Naruto, and Sakura awake on top of a building.
"Our friends are sleeping. Do you mind if we keep it quiet?" They heard a door open; it was a man from the bar.
"Mr. 8, Miss Monday! The three of them escaped from the room when we weren't looking!" He informed. Miss Wednesday groaned, being annoyed by his stupidity.
"I know." Miss Wednesday said. "They're right over there." Mr. 8 glared.
"Sneaky wretch! You should have stayed asleep with your friends!" Zoro smirked.
"A good swordsman never makes a mistake of letting his guard down. Plus, I took a nap earlier." Zoro replied.
"Yeah, well... Sakura and I woke up and wanted the fresh air." Naruto said.
"Yeah, plus we're ninjas... we pretended to sleep so we could sneak off." Sakura explained.
"Judging from all of the scowls and cheap disguises, I'm guessing your all bounty hunters." Zoro pointed out. "Your specialty is robbing drunk pirates who fall for hospitality. It's original; I'd give you that at least. We counted all 100 of you, give or take, and we'll take all of you. And we'll fight all of you. Do you hear me, Baroque works?!" Hearing that caused them to freak out.
"How do you know our name?" Mr. 8 asked.
"I was in a similar line of work once upon a time. Your company tried to entice me with a job offer. Naturally, I said no. Does the same rules still apply? Employee identities kept secret, cheesy code names, the boss's identity, and whereabouts are also a mystery. Baroque works, the criminal group that faithfully carries out their orders, like herded sheep. Ha! That's some secret." The town was silent except for a gust of wind. Finally, Mr. 8 spoke.
"This is a surprise; if you know all of our secrets, then we are left with no other choice but to kill you. And more gravestones shall be added to the cactus rocks tonight."
"More gravestones?" Naruto asked. He then sees a cactus building that was holding a bunch of gravestones who tried to take down Baroque works. Mr. 8 smirks and points at Naruto, Sakura, and Zoro.
"Kill them!" But there was no one in the building, leaving everyone perplexed.
"They... disappeared." Miss Wednesday gasped. All of the Barogue Works agents stared in shock, wondering where the pirates were. They were baffled on where they just headed off too. They heard nothing but crickets.
Where could they have run off too?" Mr. 8 questioned. No one answered him.
"Good question." A voice answered. They turned around to locate them. Then something grabs their attention... It was Naruto, Sakura, and Zoro. Zoro had his hand on his forehead as if he were trying to look closer at something, whereas Naruto and Sakura were gazing at the stars while holding hands.
"Isn't this romantic, Sakura?" Naruto asked. "Looking at the stars while we beat up some bad guys?"
"Oh, yeah..." Sakura sighed. "I couldn't think of a more romantic first date." Naruto tapped his fingers and snaps them
"I got a better idea." He said. He turns to see guns being drawn at them. However, it doesn't faze him. In fact, he turns to Sakura and says, "This will have to wait."
"Right. Wanna help us take them down, Zoro?" The swordsman answered his smirking. The bounty hunters drew out their guns.
"Who do you think you are? Fire!" The bounty hunter and the others shot at the three Straw Hats, but they shot each other instead. Mr. 8 growled angrily at their failure.
"Incompetent morons! They just shot each other!" Mr. 8 snarled angrily.
"Yeah, and those pirates got way! Mr. 9 muttered.
"Guess again, Freak!" A familiar voice called. He gasped and turned around slowly, only to see a familiar pirate/ninja standing behind with crossed arms. Miss Wednesday turns around to see Sakura waving while cracking her knuckles. Mr. 8 growled.
"Kill them!" They are only three people!" He ordered. A sword interrupted his order as it went through his hair. Miss Wednesday was about to stop him, but Sakura grabbed her wrist, and Naruto held Mr. 9 from behind.
"Now then..." Naruto started. "What did you say about tombstones? Would they be enough?" Naruto said with a threatening tone as he leaned his face near Mr. 9, who gulped nervously. Sakura brings her face closer to Miss Wednesday with the same smirk. Some of the bounty hunters found them.
"They they are!" One of the bounty cried. He and the others aimed their guns towards them. Mr. 8's eyes widened with fear. "NO! DON'T SHOOT! DON'T SHOOT! You're going to shoot me!" He let out a cry and leaned back, quickly retrieving his phone. Zoro quickly dove and reflected, killing the other people as the man started shooting at them. Naruto swings his fist and punches Mr. 9 and knocks several bounty hunters off with his lowered fist. He then uses some kind of smoke, and it blinds Mr. 9 and the others. Once it cleared up, they opened their eyes to see Naruto is gone.
Miss Wednesday attempts to swing her leg at Sakura, but Sakura dodges the attacks and hits behind a building. Vivi smirked and ran over to get her, but once she was behind the building, she saw that Sakura was gone.
"Ahh!" She screamed. "Where did she go?"
"All right, you idiots, where did they escape this time?" What they don't see is Zoro, Naruto, and Sakura behind a building. All three took a deep breath.
"So, that thing's a weapon?" Zoro whispered.
"It sounds dangerous." Sakura commented. She looks back to watch the Baroqe 9 agents talk strategy
"It seems as though this guy might actually be able to put up a fight. Even against us." Mr. 9 mutters. Miss Wednesday wiped her brow and Miss Monday cracked her knuckles. Mr. 8 took several deep breaths.
"Can they be so possibly stupid that they think they can fight all of us by themselves? What kind of people would even consider challenging us after knowing that we are all with Baroque Works?"
Back in the bar, Nami, Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji were still knocked out. Sanji was dreaming about girls, while Usopp was dreaming about being cheered on by a crowd full of people. Once the coast was clear, Nami's eyes opened with a smirk.
"So Whiskey Peak is really the home to a whole nest of bounty hunters? You know I had a feeling that might just be the case." She turns to see Luffy sleeping. Her heart beat for some reason.
"Aw... he looks so cute sleeping." Nami cooed. She dismissed it and proceeded to shake Luffy's body in an attempt to awaken him.
"Luffy... Luffy!" She shakes him again. Luffy scratched under his nose as he continued on sleeping. Nami growled and stood up to shake him.
"WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" She said with a vein on her forehead as she shakes his body. Suddenly a bubble came out of Luffy's nose. "Wake up! I NEED YOUR HELP WITH SOMETHING AND SO DO SAKURA, NARUTO, AND ZORO!" That woke him up as the bubble popped out of his nose. He then stretches. He then rubs his eyes and waves at Nami.
"Oh, Hey, Nami!" He said. She said nothing. Instead, she grabs his wrist and takes him to the mayor's office, hoping to find some valuables and treasure. Nami opened the safe, hoping for some gold, diamonds, or berries, but instead it was full of papers and junk.
"Those two couldn't have gone far! Let's find them, men!" A bounty hunter shouted. Naruto, Sakura, and Zoro heard them from their hiding place, searching around. Zoro looks at his swords.
"Now's a good as time as any to test out my new swords." Zoro smirked.
"Let's bring it on, Zoro!" Grinned Naruto.
"I got you now!" Grinned one of the bounty hunters. All three pirates looked up to see one of the bounty hunters on top of the building holding a gun. Naruto kicked the door open and pushed Sakura and Zoro out of the way before they could get shot. They missed the bullet, leaving the frustrated bounty hunter. They all hear guns clicking. They all see a table and kick it, blocking bullets from hitting. Zoro grins at both Naruto and Sakura.
""Up first, Yubashiri." Zoro said. With a blur, he cuts at the table that was protecting them before leaping over the two halves and out the door. He appears behind the villains with Naruto and Sakura, grinning. "Light... well-balanced." He and the couple jump as the other bounty hunters fall to their deaths. They hear others chasing them.
"There's the sneaky rats! This way, guys!"
"Hold it!" "Well, guess they found us..." grinned Naruto.
"He's coming your way!" A hunter yelled, pointing to them running up the stairs. They then see a Bounty hunter fire a cannonball towards them. Luckily, Zoro leaned back and prevented Naruto from getting hit. They then hear a scream, and it was coming from Miss Monday. Zoro sliced it in half, knocking the other bounty hunters.
"Ah, man... and it must've cost a fortune." Zoro added disappointedly. One bounty hunter jumped in front of Sakura, wielding a mace. He sways it from side to side in an attempt to frighten Sakura. The girl with pink hair let out a sigh and struck the building's bounty hunter. Naruto cheered. Not seeing a small bounty hunter with a goatee and one eye patch rushing towards him. Naruto still looked at Sakura with pride. The Bounty hunter was getting closer. What he didn't see is Naruto jumping out of the way, causing him to fall down.
"Sneaks attacks don't work if you yell it out loud!" Naruto taunted. One Bounty hunter was about to hit Zoro with a hammer but was stopped by the Swordsman, cutting his hammer in half before slicing the bounty hunter. He stops and glares at it.
"What the hell is it doing? Well, Kitetsu III, you're quite sharp. But you're also a bit of a troublemaker, aren't you?" He berates it like a parent scolding a child. "A good sword only cuts when its master directs it to."
"Zoro..." Sakura points out.
"You do know... that swords don't talk. they are inanimate objects."
Back at the bar, Sanji and Usopp were still sleeping. The bounty hunters ran passed through them, not noticing them. Usopp woke up still drowsy.
"I dreamed someone stupped on me." He muttered before falling back asleep and putting his hand on Sanji's.
Back outside, some of the bounty hunters were climbing a ladder to get Naruto and the others. They see two hands holding the ladder. It was Naruto himself. He smirked and slightly tilts it before pushing it down.
"Bye-bye." He said while waving. He leads Sakura and Zoro whop leaped with him towards another building.
"They're coming right for us!" A Bounty hunter gulped. "S-hoot them." They shoot at the three but Naruto and Sakura dodged and jump kicked a couple while Zoro smirked.
"Two swords style: Hawk wave!" He lands and spin his entire body to take down at their feet. He then hears other hunters jumping towards them. Both Sakura and Naruto took the hint and moved with Zoro out of the way just in time for the bounty hunters to land. Sakura smirked with crossed arms.
"Oh, I wouldn't be standing there." She said. They all looked at her, confused. Then the roof falls with the bounty hunters with them. Sakura looks behind and pushed her, Naruto and Zoro out of the way because Miss Monday showed up with the ladder and swinged it. Sakura looks with worry. She and Naruto don't have chakra to take down someone like Miss Monday. Miss Monday throws away the ladder and puts a brass knuckle brace on her hand. Her eyes turned into rage.
"it was a good effort but there are no one who can best me!" She said. She grabs all of them with her hands on Zoro while pushing Naruto and Sakura out of the way towards another building.
"TASTE MY SUPERHUMAN BRASS-KNUCKLES!" As she swings her first in the direction of the Swordsman, the couple tries to save Zoro, but it is too late. From below, the area appears to be clouded by smoke and dust.
Well, we've wasted.." He stopped then cleared his voice saying... "Ma-Ma... a lot of time but at least we finally put an end to it. Now let's go." Naruto and Sakura up both had their head down, mourning for their crewmate. Suddely they looked up to see Zoro grabbing Miss Monday's face.
"Zoro!" Sakura exclaimed.
"You're all right!" Naruto grinned. Zoro nods at his fellow straw hats then turned back to the Bounty Hunter.
"What's the matter, Muscle woman?" He taunts at her. "Didn't you want to pin your strength against me?" He can feel the strength from her slipping. He then smirked. "Well then, I guess you lost." She loses the grip and falls down unconscious. He looks at Naruto and Sakura with a smirk then turns back to Mr. 8 and the others.
"Is that all you got, Baroque works? Cause you're gonna need to do a lot better than that. The bounty hunters were shocked to say the least that three warriors took down Miss Monday. One of the strongest Bounty hunters in Baroque works. Suddenly they realized something.
"Now it all makes sense." Mr. Gasped. " "Now it all makes sense! The Marine must've made a mistake on that one poster."
"It does make sense!" Mr. 9 said. "I can understand why those guys would have a 30,000,000 and 25,000.000 berry bounty out on their heads. The swordsman must be the real captain."
"Yeah, it must be..." Miss Wednesday agreed "But it's strange that those two weaklings would have such a high price." Naruto smirked.
"You haven't seen Luffy in battle just yet."
"Even if this guy is the real captain, this is getting disgraceful. The boss put us in charge of this town and he's not going to be pleased if we lose to three measly pirates." Mr. 8 said. Miss Wednesday smirks
"Well then, looks as if we finally get to fight." She said.
"Can't wait." Sakura cracked her knuckles.
"Something that you may not know: in Baroque works, the smaller the numbers are, the greater the powers as well as their rank in the company. Take the two of us, Mr. 9 and Mr. 8. We are single digits and don't forget Miss Wednesday. Our abilities are much greater than the rift raft that you've been fighting against so far tonight." Naruto smirks at Mr. 9's threat.
"As a ninja..." He grinned. "You must always be ready." The three remaining bounty hunters frowned while feeling the breeze in their hair. Mr. 8 shoots at them with his saxaphone-gun. The three jumped before they could get hit. Mr. 9 gets ready to battle.
"Let's go, Miss Wednesday!"
"Of course, Mr. 9." Miss Wednesday grinned. . Both Naruto and Sakura jump down.
"I got Miss Wednesday," Sakura said.
"And I got their boss." Naruto grinned.
"Come here, Karoo!" Out came a large yellow duck, wearing a helmet, who appeared, landing behind her. He held his win.
"NO, NOT SHAKE! NOW COME HERE!" He ran to her, and she sat on his saddle on his backside.
"Come on, Karoo! Show them how fast you are! Leave them in the dust!" She ordered. The duck quacks, then he sits down on the ground. "I didn't tell you to sit now, did I?" She pounded his head. Zoro looks in confusion.
"Is... that a duck?" They had a hard laugh coming from Mr. 9.
"You get distracted so easily! How can you hope to follow my acrobatics!?" He flips down and brings two baseball bats.
"You'd better prepare for...my bloody...bats." He swings them to make his move, but Zoro blocks the attack with his swords.
"You better be careful not to chip your precious blades!" He taunted. Zoro was silent, then he pulled up one of his swords.
"What's the matter? Are you too afraid to fight me?" Zoro points his sword at Mr. 9 and swings it simultaneously. Mr. 9 blocked each of his strikes, hoping to keep up with the swordsman.
"What happened to fancy acrobatics, huh?" Zoro asked while taunting,.
"Watch really carefully now!" He warned before jumping into a backflip. He realized it was a mistake because he was about to make his towards landed to a pile of crates followed by smoke and dust. Naruto and Sakura looks up and smirks. They both laughed at Mr. 9's defeat
"Is that really the best they can do?" He asked . "
There's better. I'm still here." They turned to see Miss Wednesday from behind. "Are you read... Mr. Bushido and Mr. and Mrs. Shinobi?" She asked while being on top of Karoo. "Take a look at this." " She raised her hands as both Naruto and Sakura both looked confused. He opens her hand to reveal she is holding some perfume He then sways her hips side to side. "Now, enjoy my Perfume Dance." She continues on swaying her hips. Both Naruto and Sakura's faces turned green Naruto fell to his knees, Sakura gasped and carried him holding his hips and picking him up. But it makes Miss Wednesday have an advantage.
She wraps one of her pinky fingers around the small, sharp jewel that looks like a peacock's tail feather and says, "Good bye!" "
"And now... Peacock Slasher! Go, Karoo!" Karoo quakes and dashes toward Sakura and Naruto, only to pass them by.
"You ran right past them!" Miss Wednesday yelled before she knocks herself to a building. Naruto and Sakura both quirked an eyebrow.
"Wow... those guys are pathetic." Naruto said.
"Yeah." Sakura nodded in agreement. They sat on the roof and enjoyed the nice quiet night sky. Naruto takes her hand and squeezes it.
After their defeat, Mr. 8, Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday tried to stand up after their battle against Naruto, Sakura and Zoro.
"Can't die yet..." Gasped Mr. 8. "Haven't completed our mission." He coughs while trying to stand.
"The three of you lost against two pirates? Now that's just sad." A voice said. They looked up and see a with dark skin, dark skin, wearing black shades, poofy black hair in dreadlocks, wearing a brown trench coat with the number 5 on it.
"Mr.5! Miss Valentine!" Mr. 8 gasped.
"Really? Can't do your jobs?" The man known as Mr. 5 scoffed. Miss Valentine lets out a laugh.
"Well, that's clearly the difference between our rank and yours." The woman giggled.
"You came just to laugh at us?" Mr. 8 questioned.
"Nah, that's just a bonus." Mr. 5 admits with a smug face.
"We're here under the boss's orders." Miss Valentine confirmed. Mr. 9 laughs after hearing their confirmation, knowing he can get an opportunity for revenge.
"With you guys here to fight, we can finally defeat them. They don't stand a chance against you..." He said.
"That's right." Miss Wednesday agreed. Let's track them down and show them with Baroque Works can really do." She hopes it gives them an advantage, but the two superiors expressed disappointment.
"Seriously, Miss Wednesday. Stop with the jokes." Mr. told them. "We didn't come here to clean up your mess."
"You really think that we've come here from all the way from the Grand Line to hold your hands. Ha! You're even more pitiful than you look." Miss Valentine laughed. Mr. 8 stares with a frowned look while Mr. 9 asked...
"But...But then, what mission are you here for?" Mr. 5 went up a step.
"You mean you haven't figured it out? There are people here, who's crimes against the company that are great enough that the boss has sent us to deal with it. You see someone uncovered the boss's secret, and that's a crime punishable by death."
"So, while we were searching to find out who uncovered the boss's secret, we've learned something! It turns out a rather high-ranking individual from a certain kingdom has somehow infiltrated Baroque works." What they don't know is that Luffy and Nami were behind a building listening to their plans. Not only that but Naruto and Sakura found them and joined in the investigation.
"So... they're good guys?" Luffy asked. Naruto glared and shushed him as the listened to their plans more.
"Their kingdom?" Mr. 9 question. He then stands up "Wait, wait! Hold on a second!" Now I may be wearing a crown but I'm not a king. I swear, it's just an innocent little hobby!"
"Shut up, you idiot!" Miss Valentine said.
"We mean the people from Alabasta. They're the ones who linked to the boss." Mr. 8 gasps.
"They know... it's all over now..." He stands in front of Miss Wednesday/
"YOU WILL NOT LAY A HAND UPON ON OUR PRINCESS NOT WHILE THE CAPTAIN OF ALABASTA'S SECURITY STILL STANDS!" He shouts as he shoots at them with his Saxaphone gun. The explosion then causes a raging blaze to spread across the street.
"Igaram!" Miss Wednesday yelled out. Once the smoke starts to clear out, it's revealed that Miss Valentines and Mr. 5 were still standing.
"You a captain of Alabasta's security and Princess Vivi Nefertari of Alabasta Kingdom. We have come here in the name of Baroque works to see that you both are eliminated!"
"A princess?" Naruto questioned. Not too far from them Zoro was watching from the roof of one of the buildings. He takes a sip of his beer.
"This could be good! Luffy and Nami are awake." He looks down to see Miss Wednesday whimpering with fear.
Naruto: So this chick is a princess?
Sakura: We gotta help her.
Luffy: Aw... and those guys were nice enough to feed us.
Nami: Luffy it was all a trap!
Sakura: So your name is Vivi, huh?
Naruto: On the next Shiniboi X Strawhat... Helping a Princess out Journey to Alabasta. I'm gonna be Hokage.
Luffy: And I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
Yep, I am skipping the Zoro vs Luffy fight episode. Not gonna lie, I didn't like it but I will make some of the important parts of the episode then part of the next episode to set off Little Garden. Then we go to Alabasta.
