Chapter 19

Whiskey Peak

Or

3 Mew's in a trenchcoat

The party for the Strawhats was in full swing and popping off, lavish amounts of food and beer being given to the crew, who accepted it all with cheery smiles and nods. Zoro and Nami were drinking people under the table while Luffy had swollen up like a balloon from how much he had eaten.

Not a single member of the crew questioned how a town that was supposed to be so desperate for food that they were trying to kill an island whale could afford to throw such a feast. Not that they were talking much in general especially when, one by one, they started to fall asleep.

Outside of the building where the party was being held four figures gathered. Ms. Wednesday, Mr. 9, a muscular woman dressed like a nun who answered to the name of Ms. Monday, and finally the mayor of Whiskey Peak, Igarappoi aka Mr. 8, who had overly curled hair and a habit of frequently clearing his voice.

"While we may not have managed to get ourselves the whale meat, I did some checking up on them and we've hit the jackpot," said Mr 8 as he held up a bounty poster.

"Fi-, five hundred million berri!" The other 3 shouted, jaws hanging open at the absurd amount of money being offered for Mew. Luffy's own bounty of 30 million passed by mostly unnoticed.

"We'll take everything of value from their ship and tie them up immediately!" Mr 8 ordered.

"Oh you will, won't you?"

Spinning around Mr 8's jaw dropped as he found the whole Strawhat crew relaxing on the Going Merry's deck, not a single one looking even remotely sleepy.

"What the-" But before Mr 8 could say anything else a mob of people burst out of the building behind him.

"Boss! Boss! The Strawhats, they just- what the fuck?!" The mob shouted before those in the front spotted the crew and screeched to a halt. Which soon caused a pile up of bodies as those behind were unable to stop in time.

Sanji brought his cupped hands up to his face as he lit his cigarette. He blew out a long stream of smoke before speaking.

"We knew what you were up to this whole time, so we had Mew create a couple of copies of us to fall for your little setup." Mew, who was bonelessly flopped across Luffy's shoulders, covered its mouth with its paws as it giggled.

"But, but how?! How did you know?!" Mr 8 shouted as the rest of the Baroque Work minions pulled themselves and each other back to their feet.

"Mew sensed your intentions, that plus I remembered dealing with some Baroque Work goons was more than enough." Zoro added with a wicked grin.

"What the- Lu, where are we?" Asked a voice from behind the Strawhats. The crew's heads turned to see Sabo yawning widely next to Merry's main mast.

"Also, why do I feel like I ceased to exist for a period of 4 chapters?"

"How do you even know what that feels like?" Gin asked even knowing he would regret hearing the answer.

"The Grand Line is where sanity goes to die," was Sabo's glib reply, echoed by the confirming murmurs of the majority of the Baroque Work agents.

"Yeah that sounds about right," Gin sighed even as he blocked a strike from a particularly brave but foolish agent. Sword edge smacking against the unyielding steel of Gin's tonfa. Still not even looking, Gin introduced the cannonball sized end of his other tonfa right into the agent's gut.

Fighting instantly broke out as if that had been some sort of signal for the battle to commence. Luffy let out a whoop of excitement as he rocketed himself right into the fray, narrowly missing Mr 8 in the process. That was fine though, as his rocket yanked Zoro and Sanji right into the middle of the battlefield as well. Sure, they had to unbury themselves from the ground first, but the rest of the crew was causing enough chaos that it was any challenge.

Goggles over his eyes, Usopp was sniping agent after agent with his slingshot from the safety of Merry's deck. Those unfortunate enough to reach the gangplank found more than a few Surprise Stars being shot their way, which seriously hampered the agents' attempt to board the ship. 'Course the ones that got past the spikes and invisible floating stones were even more unfortunate.

Those agents ran smack into Nami's newly forged collapsible steel staff, one that she was putting to good use, sweeping out the agent's feet or smacking them upside the head. The angle of the ramp provided her with the perfect height advantage that prevented anyone from getting close. Now, the agents weren't dumb by any means and had quickly realized that if they couldn't get onto the ship by the gangplank, they could always use grappling hooks to climb up the side that wasn't being guarded.

That plan lasted all of a minute before something grabbed an agent by an ankle and dragged him screaming into the bay. The state his body was in when it floated back to the surface far too gruesome for words.

The rest of the fight wasn't actually going any better for the rest of Baroque Works as Sanji landed a wicked axe-kick on Mr 9's head, sending the agent straight into lala land. He didn't take advantage of that opening to attack any of the agents however, instead running up to Ms Wednesday and presenting her with a rose that he produced from somewhere from his suit pockets.

"Oi, shitty cook! Stop flirting and focus on the fight."

"Not now Moss Head, I'm trying to woo a beauty!~ Besides you seem to have everything well in hand."

"Uh," Ms Wednesday added, she would have been joining the fight but at present was prevented from doing so by Mew. Who had declared cat privileges and stolen her arms to use as a resting place since the battle had started. Mew even playfully rolled over to bat at Ms Wednesday's hand as the blue-haired beauty scratched behind one of its ears.

On the other side of the battlefield, a table and chairs had been set up with a small crowd of agents crowded around it and the spectacle of Ms Monday engaged in an intense arm wrestling contest against Gin. There was also a Mew dressed like a booker jotting down bets and taking money that was being handed to it by the agents. Another Mew was handing out concessions to those willing to pay for them.

"I feel like I lost the plot of this battle somewhere," Mr 8 muttered to himself as he watched the contest unfold.

"This isn't even the strangest fight I've ever been involved in on the Grand Line, one time the ship I was on got boarded by bear pirates, and I don't mean the Bear Pirates but actual bears that happened to be pirates. 'Course not one of them could speak, on account of being bears but," Sabo said to the man between handfuls of popcorn that he had purchased from Mew.

"All I ever wanted was to open up a shop and sell chocolate! But no mom said, you're gonna be a pirate missy just like me, your grandma, and your great grandma, it's family tradition after all! Then she had me eat this really horrible fruit which tasted like rancid socks! Like who even does that? Goes and forces their child to become a pirate just because it's tradition?!" Ms Valentine sobbed as she sat on a therapist couch while a Mew wearing glasses pretended to take notes.

"What in the fuck are you all doing?! Valentine, get off that couch and fight them!" Mr 5 screeched as he grabbed Mew by its neck and chucked the pink Pokemon into the air.

"Hey! I wasn't done with my therapy session!"

"That's not your therapist, that's a 500 million bounty pirate in a pair of glasses!" Mr 5 shouted as he flicked an explosive booger at Mew as the pink Pokemon started to fall back down.

"Oh right, I don't even have a therapist."

The explosion utterly consumed Mew, at least that's what it looked like at first. But when the smoke cleared Mew was unharmed and resting inside the invincible sphere from Protect. Mew flicked its tail slowly and vanished, reappearing directly in front of Mr 5 as it used Teleport. Then Mew started to glow.

"Mew says to tell you, omae wa mou shindeiru. Whatever that means." Luffy shouted over his shoulder as he dove for cover along with the rest of the Strawhats.

Mew used Explosion!
