Hello my peons! Once again I come back with another chapter to satisfy your cravings. The last chapter of Orange town. And I'll try to go with a bang! I'm sure 70% of the chapter will be about a specific fight. But now enough of that. So before I go I wanted to read some reviews.
My answear to onepieceboiFTW: Thank you for the words. Honestly, I don't know when I'm going to go back to IBS. I'm wanting to focus on two stories at a time. Which in this case is that and another one that isn't important enough to mention. But I think it will take a while. Perhaps, when this story has passed Syrup village. Who knows?
My answear to Totong: Really surprising, isn't it? Anything can change in development. But I don't want the Straw Hats to be crowded with people from other worlds who either intend to live here or want to go back home. Part of me even wanted to drum more because of a few things I won't mention I decided to change that.
i'm thinking of a 'duo'.
but this one may be contradict itself in the future. Who knows? Only time can say for sure.
My answear to Dinozila: I still want to include pokemon somehow here. But I wouldn't fill the going merry with Pocket Monsters. I wish not for a burnout thanks. Of course, most don't speak human language, but it would still be a little heavy for me. Especially with the amount of people from the op that go to Luffy's group. I'll simply assume that by family of four you mean the straw hats who came from other worlds(Shana, Seryu, Po, Ben). Correct me if i'm wrong. And thanks for the suggestion, lol!
'Clash of the East Blue Pirates! The fire that burns biology, Shana vs. Bearded Lady, Barbara!'
At that exact moment Nami was out there and weirdly enough. Waiting for 'Mr Rubbery' and 'Mr Bushido' to explain the whole situation to 'Ms Red-head'
She seemed to be in a pretty thoughtful situation. As the three spoke, the red-haired girl simply pondered by herself.
'With the help of these guys I can get the money faster, and that way I can finally save everyone. But I can't become a criminal...' Nami thought.
'What should I do...?' Nami questions mentally. Her mind was heavy at the time.
All of a sudden, photos of a smiling pink haired woman were seen.
Those seemed to be memories in Nami's head. But in the middle of the trance something very soft touched Nami's shoulders.
...!?
The girl was alerted, conveying a predictable reaction. Nami turned around only to see absolutely nothing. Nami stands there not knowing what to say.
'Go to the sea, Nami...' Something said something. It was a middle-aged woman's voice with a motherly tone. As much as its username is unknown, Nami was simply taken back by this.
Nami turned around again... Again. Anything. Although. A huge breeze of wind swirled through Nami and then headed towards the door of the house where Luffy, Zoro and Shana were. The wind blew the door making it open as if inviting Nami.
Nami remains paralyzed not knowing what to say... That is until an idea comes into her mind. Nami simply smiled. She now knew what to do.
"I think i got it. You always tried to answer me as honestly as possible. " She answers. She simply paused for a while before looking up at the sky. "Don't worry about me. I'm fine."
...
...
...
"Hmm...Understood... I'm still irritated by the old man's huge inquiry. But him being a special figure here, it won't do any good." Shana's voice was heard from a house.
"I had a feeling you were going to say that." Zoro's voice was heard.
"Yosh! But first. Still missing someone!" Luffy's voice was heard.
Nami then quickly changed her posture after hearing footsteps in the house.
"Someone...? Ah. Wait, I know who." Shana sighs. 'He never gives up, huh?'
"Fighters of his caliber taking a hold of such persistence were of a rare bunch decades ago. It appears to not be the case any longer." Alastor glowed.
Luffy and the group (Group of two lol) were seen, then passing through the door. None of them asked why it was open.
Luffy took a short hop straight to the street.
"Back already? I thought they were going to take longer." Nami said.
"The girl didn't seem too surprised by this. She was very understanding. So, let's get straight to the point." Zoro responds.
"There are a lot of things about me that you don't know yet. When this is over it will be my priority to explain everything you need to know about me." Shana said.
"No need. It doesn't matter." Luffy responds to Shana.
"In that case. Just the two of you." Shana said referring to Nami and Zoro. "Anyway. What objective do you wish to accomplish, Captain?"
"Shishi! You already know. It's very important." Luffy answers. He then walks and faces Nami. "Hey, Nami. come with us. Be my crew's navigator!"
...
...
"All right." Nami answered very quickly which surprised even Zoro and Shana.
"That was fast!" Zoro and Shana said at the same time.
"However... I won't exactly be part of your pirate crew. I want you to see this as just a collaboration between two groups struggling to achieve a common goal." Nami smiled and made it clear. But Luffy didn't seem to care. He just seemed happy to have a navigator.
'I could have sworn she was going to say something like "I will never work with pirates" or something like that. It seems that I did have some kind of involvement in her thoughts.' Shana thought. She then let out a small smile knowing that Nami was 'influenced' by Shana. 'Good girl.'
"Cool, now we have two swordsmen and a navigator!" Luffy laughed.
Nami then noticed Shana's small smile that she had missed. "Why are you smiling?" Nami said with a sassy expression. After being noticed Shana sweated and changed her expression to an irritated one.
"Shut Up! Shut Up! Shut Up! Nothing! What's wrong with that,anyway!" Shana tried shotting back.
Nami and Luffy simply laughed at that.
"Why are you laughing!? Shut up! I'm going to hit you if you don't stop!" Shana's face went red with that.
???.
"Taking too long...! What is he doing to take so long? Mohji should already be here with Roronoa's head!" Buggy said irritably. He and the Buggy Pirates were above another house with a very wide roof. "He knows what happens to delays. Wasn't that time he failed to outrun a marine captain enough?"
"Do you think someone should look for him, Captain." A random man asked Buggy.
"We couldn't leave without him. But I don't trust any of you to go after him. I'll give him a second chance and wait a little longer. Otherwise, one of you will look for him." Buggy told the man who went inside the house.
However, Buggy's short time of peace was stopped by a war cry.
"Buggy the clown! Get out of wherever you are!" shouted a familiar voice.
"Huh!?" Buggy leaned over and looked out into the streets. What he had found was the mayor of the city.
"Who is this old man?" Buggy asked. "Hey! What do you want!"
The mayor took a little time to catch his breath before he yelled again. "I'm Boodle! The mayor of this town! Since you stepped here, you've only caused trouble and more trouble is bound to spring up. But now that's over! I came here to fight you, and protect my treasure! This town and its citizens!" Boodle announced.
Buggy blinked a few times before laughing maniacally.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! So that's it! Have you come to run for court jester by any chance? Don't make me laugh." Buggy scoffed.
"I don't know if you know the common sense of the pirate world. But treasure is just money, Jewels, coins, that stuff. Calling this bunch of walls, grass and treasure houses is the biggest disrespect to this culture I've ever seen . This is just meant to be a joke. And what a pathetic joke, huh? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"
"Shut up! You'll never understand what I-" Before the mayor could finish anything he started to grab his neck and lift him up slowly.
"Listen here, old man. Very soon I will conquer the grand line. and freshly get One Piece! Along with all the riches of the world! All riches belong to me. If there is one person who can obtain all the treasures, it's me. If this city is so important to you, wouldn't it be honorable for me to kill you along with it?" with a slightly better view we can see that one of Buggy's arms that came out of his body and was holding the mayor.
"Stop prattling and fight me, coward!" Boodle tried to fight off his bidding.
"Don't be arrogant." Buggy smiled in a twisted way.
"...I'm going to protect this city... Even if it means to throw my life away!" Boodle struggled.
"Prepare the special Buggy balls." Chuckled buggy.
Bullock a familiar man who appeared behind Buggy nodded and ran off in a certain direction.
"Huh!?" However, in a role change, Buggy ends up losing the grip of his hand as if something had grabbed it. This caused Boodle to fall to the ground.
"You again! Straw Hat!" Buggy roared in surprise when he saw Luffy below holding his hand instead.
And behind them his three companions. Luffy looks up to where Buggy was. "I came to kick your ass! As promised!"
"NGH...!!" Buggy struggled to get his arm back together. Thankfully for him, Luffy decided to let go of the hand he was holding causing it to float all the way back to its make-up owner.
Luffy and his companions glared at the clown pirate while Boodle caught his breath. Buggy was very angry.
"Grrr...! How dare you just come waltzing in here, to Captain Buggy!" Buggy grits his teeth.
However, his frustration stopped when he saw that Zoro was part of the bottom group. "What!? Roronoa!? Roronoa Zoro still alive with no scars on his body... More like that-" Buggy cuts himself off after an assumption filled his mind. He believes that Zoro killed his comrade without any challenge. His frustration returns. "So that's why that idiot didn't come back. Damn it...!"
"Captain Buggy! Are you saying that Mohji died?!" Bullock asked with a lot of Buggy-like fury. But for a different reason.
"What is this guy mumbling about?" It appeared that Shana hadn't been informed of the full context as she asked in confusion.
"Who cares. Its so uninteresting that I intended to not listen." Zoro replied.
"Anyway, it doesn't matter. I'll just say that I only came here for Buggy's treasures. You three can have the fighting part." Nami directed.
"Looks great." Shana said bluntly.
"Young people... why did you come here..." Boodle started to get up. "Get out... I don't intend to see you hurt..."
"Crap. Right, we forgot about the old man." Shana remembered. "Hey, get out of here! You see you don't stand a chance against this guy's power."
"It's you guys who should leave...It's outsiders...Specifically you little girl... If a child gets hurt I'll never forgive myself for it." Boodle said in denial. "This town is my treasure! As well as the citizens here! That includes you too, even if you're not from around here! I'm the mayor of this Town, and my obligation I-"
"Ah! Dear lord, He just keeps going on and on and on, Can you do something about it?" Shana said before looking at Luffy.
"I've thought of everything!" Luffy responds before jumping over to Boodle and punching him right in the side of his neck which rids him of his consciousness completely.
Smack*
Zoro and Shana were neutral. However Nami was completely terrified by this.
"YOU IDIOT! WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO MISTER MAYOR!!" Nami roared. Luffy dusted off his hands with a few claps and turned to her with a smile.
"He was in front." Luffy answered simply.
"Good thinking. No doubt this guy would have died by now if he kept screaming." Zoro agreed.
"I've never seen such a foolish old man in my whole life." Shana says coldly.
"It is not abnormal for humans to continue to hold on to what they consider close to them." Alastor stated.
"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!? THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER WAYS TO DO THIS, AND YOU CHOOSE THE MOST UNNECESSARY POSSIBLE!!" Nami barked.
"Ok. Now back to the main subject." Shana turned around.
"Alright. Here goes!" Luffy said before taking a long breath as if he wanted to carry something. "BIG NOSE!!!!"
"Oh no! That was the one thing he couldn't have said!" Nami said with a worried look.
"Provoking the enemy to invite him to fight. Very good." Shana agreed. "Now is just wait."
Buggy, Bullock and a few pirates behind were completely shocked by this.
"Damn you...! Frashly idiot! How dare you..." Buggy got pissed. "BULLOCK, PREPARE THE SPECIAL BUGGY BALLS!!"
"Yes! Sir! I already have them all in hand." Pirara then went towards the cannon aimed at the Straw Hats and put some balls inside. "All set. Now and just light it up!" Bullock then took a match from his pocket.
"Why did you say that, idiot!" Nami scolds before running leaving Luffy.
"Hey you two! Run away!" Zoro warned Luffy and Shana before leaving them as well.
"This! This! Now freshly light it!" Buggy told with a sinister face. He then started laughing all of a sudden. "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!"
Shana prepared for the shot by switching stances. Meanwhile Luffy looked normal.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
But most strangely. The cannon never fired.
"Huh?!" Buggy turned around in confusion. "Not again!!"
"Huh? Where's the shot?" Luffy was confused.
"Don't let your guard down, muggle." Shana murmured.
Buggy turned to Bullock in order to see what had happened. What he saw pissed him off even more.
Bullock was...
"Whoa! How annoying! Sorry sir I have to tie my shoes." Bullock was crouched trying to fix his shoelaces.
"YOU IDIOT!!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT SITUATION WE ARE IN RIGHT NOW!!?!?!?" Buggy roared.
"I'm sorry, sir! But I can't light a cannon with loose strings. It's against the rules!" Bullock argued.
"AGAINST THE RULES OF WHAT!?!?"
"The rules of blacksmith-ing!"
"WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH SHOES!!" Buggy roared again. "I'VE TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES TO CHANGE THOSE HELL SHOES!! BESIDES MAKING AN INFERNAL NOISE AT NIGHT AND LETTING OUT A HORRENDOUS SMELL, YOU STILL REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THEIR LACE!!"
"Sir, a shoe without a lace is not a shoe. It is a slipper that covers your feet. I can't settle for doing anything without a lace!"
"YOU'RE STUCK IN YOUR OWN HEAD NOW!!"
Buggy and his crewmate continued to argue as the front camera panned back down. Shana was completely speechless for what was happening. But Luffy... You should already know by now.
"What are these guys talking about. What a bunch of idiots." Luffy said with a neutral face before starting to laugh out of nowhere.
"Uh... Y-If you lose to this guy, you'll also lose all the respect I've built up for you so far." Shana facepalmed.
"How pathetic." Alastor glowed.
"Ugh! You know what. I don't want to waste my time with you. Do what you want. I'll start that cannon myself." Buggy quit before getting the match. "This time the house fell for you, Straw Hats. This time for sure!" Buggy said before turning on the cannon.
"Aah!" Shana regained her composure.
"Freshly blow up!" Buggy screamed before the cannon fired, releasing a red ball with a golly roger emblazoned on the front.
PROW*
"Finally." Shana jumped up in order to dodge the bomb. But Luffy had a different plan.
"GOMU GOMU NO..." Luffy inflated as the ball hit his body. Instead of exploding, the ball got stuck in his belly. "FUUSEN!!" Luffy then redirected the ball back up with force, back to where Buggy was.
"How much power?" Nami was shocked.
"AHHH! HE REDIRECTED THE BUGGY BALL!!" Buggy freaked out. (Bullock not so much because he was busy)
'He collected an immense amount of air and took it in order to become a ballon shaped being for a split second...' Shana observed.
"At least you could have warned us, right?" Zoro said with his hand on his head.
"AHHHHH!!"
BOOM*
The buggy ball hit the ceiling hard and exploded on contact.
There wasn't much smoke in the amazing area.
"Yeah! Now there are fewer enemies to defeat!" Luffy cheered.
"That's one way to do it." Alastor glowed.
"Buthow are you- Ohright you are made of rubber." Nami put on a grumpy face after remembering.
"You don't get tired of scaring people, do you?" Zoro said rhetorically.
The group now looked at the completely destroyed house where several henchmen (including Bullock) from Buggy were lying on the floor uncouncious.
"Something is lifting." Shana felt it. The group looked closely to the ground where they saw Buggy come out of the scrapbook holding two random pirates with his hands removed. Buggy survived using human shield. "How dare you try to do me in...!" Buggy said quietly. He then let go of both of them and brought his arms back to himself.
"He used his own men as shields..." Nami said.
"Now, tell me Straw Hat. Did you eat a devil fruit?" Buggy asked.
"Yes! I ate the Gomu Gomu no mi. I'm a rubber man." Luffy told him before sticking out his cheek.
'It takes a while to get used to it.' Nami thought.
"What? Rubber Man?" Buggy looked confused. "I knew something was wrong when you turned that thing over."
"So, it's going to be a devil fruits duel, huh?" Buggy said.
"It seems so." Luffy said simply.
"What do you mean dueling? Aren't you two going to help?" Nami asked.
"Of course not. It's his fight." Zoro said.
"B-More what if he gets badly hurt during the fight? You guys have to help somehow." Nami turned around.
"Hahaha! Don't worry about that detail. I have some friends to play with you. Cabaji! Come fourth!" Buggy turned around. Only to see a man with a weird black haircut among the unconscious men. "AHHH!! DAMN IT!!" Buggy screamed with her eyes nearly bulging out.
"It looks like all your men have gone for the better. And we will still take the role of outsiders while Luffy knocks you out." Shana smirked.
"Grrr...!" Buggy turned ugly face.
...
...
"Is that so?" A female voice appeared.
"Huh?" The group is confused by this.
"Who said that?" Nami asks.
Buggy immediately smiled at this. "But of course! Why didn't I think of that...!" Buggy then turned around. "Barbara! Come fourth!"
After announcing this. A shadow jumped onto the roof of a nearby house.
"...? There's someone up there." Shana pointed. They all looked and actually saw someone.
"I couldn't help it, but feel as if you are facing difficulties, Captain Buggy. Is there anything I can do for you?" It was a man... No... it was a very skinny woman with long red hair and a huge beard. She wore golly roger earrings in her ears and wore black shoes. Her shirt looked like a bunch of rags sewn on top of each other. And she wore brown pants that looked quite tight.
"Oh yeah Barbara. I'm so mad I can't fart. Everything was going great until the 4 Stooges showed up. Since then they've been giving me nothing but trouble." Buggy told her.
The bearded woman then jumped off the building and landed on her feet in front of Buggy. "So that's how it is. I suppose it wouldn't be a problem to give it...10 hands to push the operation further. I'm tired of wandering around this empty city in search of shampoos suitable for my enormous coat." Barbara said with her hand on the cheese.
"I don't care. Take Cabaji's place, and make yourself comfortable. As long as they're dead I don't care." Buggy gave him permission.
"With pleasure." Barbara said before turning around.
"I-Its a woman?" Nami blinked a few times incredulously with a look of disbelief.
"Huh? Who's that bearded woman over there?" Luffy asked.
"URU-URU!! Such honesty! This aristocratic attitude is why I live in this world!" Barbara made a silly face and danced happily. "I'm grateful you asked, Young One. I'am-"
"...That ugly thing over there?" Zoro sweatdropped.
"URU-URU-URU!?! What a rude boy! Shut up right now if you don't want me to cut your mane and make it look like a bird's nest." The Bearded woman was enraged. All of a sudden, she turned and grabbed her own chin. "Kids these days don't have manners anymore. They don't see their elders like they used to..."
"I like you, Barbarian woman. Too bad you're evil." Luffy got sad at the last word.
"Who's calling who a kid." Zoro grumbled.
"That would be you, and for very good reason! But I don't want to get too excited." The woman then approached. "I'm Bearded Lady, Barbara from the Buggy Pirates. Or otherwise known as the last thing you'll ever see in this wet world!"
...
...
...
"You're not a man then?" Shana asks innocently.
"NO, I'M NOT!" Barbara barked. "Looks like I'm going to have to make one thing clear to you dim-witts. I am a beautiful, innocent, and sensitive woman." Barbara struck a suggestive pose as the background behind her turned pink.
"Uhhh..." Nami didn't know how to react.
"Okay, okay! We already understood, now please stop!" Shana pleaded with a comical face.
Barbara then fixed her gaze on the pack once more.
"What a waste of time. Let's get this over with." Zoro said bluntly.
"I completely agree my boy! But I have to ask, which one of you would be the most in need of a change in fashion." Barbara started pointing a finger in the direction of the head of the Straw Hats' hair until it stopped at the hair of...
"This little girl unable to distinguish between genders." Barbara points at Shana.
"Do you want to fight me?" Shana asked with a frown still not being a fan of what she was called.
"But of course. Your beauties are in need of a checkup. The only thing I ask right now is your name." Barbara bent down.
"Shana." she says reluctantly.
"Shana... It has a nice ring to it. What will it be for today? A more...retro style maybe? Or would you like a little refreshment in your pretty braids. No! In fact, you might want wavier look to match that flaming look of yours." Barbara talks to herself.
"Done with your preaching yet?" Shana asked coldly.
"But of course! Now I think we can start our operation." Barbara turned to Shana. Before anything else happens she strikes a weird pose with her fingers. "PONYTAIL: SPRING!" In the blink of an eye Barbara's hair quickly changes its style into a ponytail.
"..." Shana observed.
"Her...Her hair...changed?" Nami inquired.
"Cool! How did you get that bearded woman?" Luffy asked.
"URU-URU-URU! This information is too confidential. But since you asked so kindly, I'll answer." Barbara then made the beard she had simply go to the growth stage making it more feminine. "I ate the Kami Kami No mi. (Or Wool-Wool Fruit) The hair fruit. Witness its power." Barbara then begin's to lean her head back.
Before Shana could say anything Barbara's hair started to change. Its strands twitched and in the end the ponytail concept was brought about.
"Has her hair changed?" Nami observed.
Shana remained focused.
"SPRING HAIR: WHIP PUSH!" Barbara announced before pulling her head forward again. The impulse causing her hair to go at her direction like a whip.
Shana didn't blur the expression on her face and just took a high jump over the attack that hit the window of a house instead.
Crash*
Shana just fell to the ground as smoke from the hit house cleared.
"Very impressive! Few can predict my first move." Barbara was very cheerful and had a wide smile on her face. "So much Female power! I'm going to have so much fun with this!"
"Hey. Why did you have the notion to tell us about your ability?" Shana asked. "If I know what your occult power is. Then with a little creativity I can pretty much figure out what you're going to do next."
"Hmmm... Understood. Maybe I got a little careless. It's okay. It happens to the best of us." Barbara shrugles. "Fine. Now I'm going to give it a shot and try to hit me. Good luck!"
"Better not go on like this or it will cost you your honor." Shana was running straight towards Barbara. She charges at the pirate and swings horizontally. However, Barbara proved to be very nimble and curved her body to deflect. A smile was left hinted as something began to come out of Barbara's hair but before it fails to the ground she grabs it with both hands. it was actually two and not one.
"Forecast to the minutes of the operation..." It was what seemed to be a huge machete and scissors.
Shana was surprised just before Barbara swings both of her new weapons. the small flame haze jumped over the weapon's and slightly above Barbara's head.
She then does a slow somersault with the sword in order to hit Barbara's head.
"...Maybe this will take a while." Barbara commented. Before Shana reached Barbara. her hair started to shake.
"POWER HAIR: BLACK SHIELD!" In the blink of an eye, Shana hits an afro that was born from Barbara dunada's bald head.
"...!?" Shana's eyes widened in shock.
Barbara takes advantage of this and rotates the hand that was holding the machete planning to cut Shana's head off. Shana seeing this quickly ignited the air below her feet creating a small propulsion that threw her to the other side.
For some reason the woman looked perplexed. "F-F-F-Fire!?!?"
Shana fell to the floor with a thud. But she quickly got up and ran towards the bearded woman again.
The bearded woman tried to regain her posture and began to rotate her arms as if she were trying to scare away ghosts that only she sees. However, something incredible happened. Shana jumped to hug the wall of a house before kicking herself closer to Barbara.
Wings sprouted from behind her and she went with great momentum. Barbara blocked in time but the cost was to be launched into the air. She didn't get as far as her hair turned into a ponytail and it got stuck on the roof.
"SWING HAIR: PONY FLIP!" Barbara took advantage of this and began swinging around the roof above as if on a vine. She twirled her machete as she approached Shana. She bends down immediately.
"What magnificent speed! You are certainly in good shape! You must eat very well! As the saying goes. 'The early bird catches the bookworm'" Barbara commented as if she was amused.
'Does she realize that this saying doesn't make any sense in the context of what she said before?' Nami thought. She then shook her head suddenly. 'Why am I thinking about this now!?'
"She's very self-aware. Her versatility of this ability could overwhelm us if you make a single mistake."
Alastor glowed.
"She was bickering about fire earlier. I should shut her down with this." Shana spoke quietly while still ducking.
Shana then got up and began to face Barbara's deadly swings. She blocked the various blows from both weapons.
This continued until Shana finally found an opening and jumped back.
"HIEN!" Shana launched a wave-shaped fire projectile that passed through Barbara's ponytail hair, burning it and causing her to fall.
"My hair!" Barbara yells before starting to fall in front of Shana.
Shana lands on the ground as Barbara fails on her face.
Shana stood still in advance and when Barbara got up Shana punched the bearded woman in the face and she went back a few meters.
"Hold on, Barbara! I'll help!" Buggy realized that the situation was bad and decided to intervene. He launched one of his hands like a cannon towards Shana.
"Watch out!" Nami winced.
"...!?" Shana's eyes widen in shock.
But before anything could happen a foot in sandals appeared out of thin air and stepped on his hand with great force.
"AHHHHHHH!!! DAMN IT!!" Buggy held the incomplete piece of his hand in pain. Nami just winced in the background.
Shana smiled when she saw the silhouette of whoever had made such a deed.
"Hey, big nose! This is her fight! Don't forget that your opponent here is me!" Luffy yelled back at Buggy.
"GRR!!" I think you know who is making this noise.
...
...
...
"Goodness. Everything was going so well but you had to put the brakes on." Barbara stood up. "Since working together with my captain will not be put to good use, I suggest that it is time for me to leave this environment." Barbara then jumped very high and lands on a house. "Our operation will be elsewhere. Follow me if you can!" Barbara teased before heading off in a certain direction.
"HEY, WOMAN, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!?" Buggy barked.
"What cowardice. That strange woman realized she had no chance and ran away instead of fighting." Zoro said bluntly.
"This makes things easier for us. Go, after the bearded woman, Shana. Meanwhile I sink my fist into the vermilion's nose." Luffy turned around and said to the little flame haze.
"Thanks." Shana replied to him. "But I already had plans to do that." Shana then jumped very high before blinking. "WINGS OF CRIMSON!" Wings of fire appeared around Shana and she flew in the direction where Barbara went.
SHANA'S POV.
Shana had fought several crimson denizens with rather strange powers. But a human 'lady' if she could even call her that whose power came from her own pilus is not something she ever expected to face.
She also didn't expect the 'lady' to be as fast as she was. Even while gliding across the small orange town for 3 minutes, Shana had completely lost track of her. The only real way of knowing where she went was by seeing strands of hair on the roofs of the houses she had 'jumped' into.
It was a pretty jarring scenario. Shana most certainly didn't like the idea of having her target running away. Specifically when it had speed-centered abilities.
'Where the hell is it?!' Shana thought.
Even with her training she always found herself being overwhelmed by those.
However as she was flying in the air, her eyes dart toward a familiar looking shadow on top of one of the roofs.
"Here!"
"This figure could only belong to her." Alastor glowed.
However, as she began to close in. Strange missile-like projectiles headed towards her.
Shana, seeing this, did not think again about dodging the projectiles going in opposite directions.
"That's her." It was confirmed by that point. Flames began to increase as she started to get close to barbara.
At that moment, Barbara msot likely changes her hair style because a whip comes from the roof and its tip begins's to ascend to where Shana is.
Even with evasive moves, the whip ends up catching Shana's feet.
"Hah!"
Barbara lifts her whip very high before slowly pushing it behind her along with Shana. Seeing this. Shana uses her abilities to engulf herself in flames, burning the hair whip before she could collide with anything below her. Shana begins to fail but quickly activates her wings again and flies straight in Barbara's direction. Her sword ready. Barbara blocks the blow with her machete, and the two hold unto each other's weapon's for a while.
"I didn't think you would actually return. I like it. Shall we continue the operation?" Barbara smiled and said.
Shana didn't say anything. Instead. Her wings grew in size. She uses this to gain the upper hand, pushing Barbara off the roof with great force.
Barbara joyfully laughs as she is sent toward a house. But before this could happen. Barbara's hair changes to an afro and when she collides with the house instead of destroying it along with her body. Barbara bounces back with great momentum back where Shana is standing.
"HAIR SWING: MOHICAN CUT!" Barbara's hair changes to a mohawk and she nods her head down swiftly and her head hits Shana like an axe. Well it was supposed to. But she jumped back causing her to hit the air instead.
"URU-URU-URU!" Barbara faces Shana again. "That fire is quite a handful right now. If I don't put it out I may create a mouse path in my client's head." Barbara said to herself. Her hair changed to two braids. "HAIR TENTACLE: BRAID INFESTATION!" Barbara's two braids stretch out and reach Shana like tentacles as they multiply.
"Tch." Shana raised the nietono on Shana and cut off two of the first tentacles to get close to her. She then ran to where Barbara was before stopping for a moment to lean her body slightly to the left to avoid three tentacles that came from above. She started running again before noticing 4 tentacles trying to make her trip. She jumped without thinking before seeing 2 tentacles in the air.
"GUREN NO OODACHI!" Shana somersault's while swinging her sword as they are engulfed in flames causing all the hair to burn down when she lands on the ground.
After standing up. Shana activates hrr wings and runs at very high speed toward Barbara. who won just from the view alone. However, unknown to Shana, a tentacle had slipped behind her. The tentacle lightly hits Shana's feet causing her to trip.
"ACK-!"
"Shana!" Alastor glowed.
"URU-URU-URU!" Barbara mused. The tentacle then swiftly grabs Shana's feet and rises up as she was hung upside down.
Barbara approaches,
"Well then little kitty. You seem a little upset today. You know I really didn't expect you to be this troublesome. My biggest fear is fire, and your techniques were quite effective." Barbara applauded. "However, I don't want to keep my captain waiting. He's quite grumpy, you know? I better finish this operation as quickly as possible. I bet everyone is dying to see his new cut." Barbara took out her two guns.
"Shut up." Shana muttered.
"Huh?"
"Your voice annoys me. Just shut up!!" Shana snapped as flames begin to build up around her body.
Barbara's eyes widened in fear.
"The fire!? I most proceeded this very instant!" Barbara rapidly swings both her weapons. But before she could. Shana's leg creates a small fire wave that sets her free.
Shana fails to the ground. But before that...
"I can't wait to silence you!" Shana swings the nietono on shana at Barbara's body.
but the bearded woman barely dodged it so the strike only hits her arm, leaving a big flame scar.
Thud*
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Barbara yells at the top of her lungs as she clings unto her arm. "HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!"
Barbara begins to roll on the floor in an attempt to put out the fire.
Meanwhile, Shana spoke slowly and only encouraged Barbara before drawing her sword again.
She ran again. With the intention of placing the nietono no shana against Barbara's chest, but before she can, her hair grows back, transforming into that of her wrists.
"?!" Shana's widen as one of the arms punches her stomach sending her to the other side of the roof.
"URU-URU-URU!" Barbara stands up. "Sometimes I even forget how useful this skill is. Your fire caught me off guard. If you weren't as skilled as I'am you would have cut my arm off." Barbara gestured to her arm who knows has a scar and a burn. Meanwhile Shana stood up. "I may be afraid of fire, but I will never let this slow me down. This operation is very important to me. My plan was to end this without a scratch, but due to its power it looks like I'm going to make a cut on your corpse with one of my unusable arms."
"Keep dreaming." Shana told her before activating wings of crimson and flying straight at her.
"So much emotion! I love your courage! HAIR TENTACLE: BRAID INFESTATION!" Barbara does something different, she uses the tentacle attack but this time with her beard, making the blow more powerful.
Shana glided in front of the tentacles. First she makes a jump. Somersault's in the air to dodge a large tentacle, and then slashes at that tentacle before landing on another tentacle and starting to run into it. Two more tentacles come at Shana. The flame haze swung the nieton no shana as a means of defense before jumping up and running towards its tip. With Shana's enormous stamina, she begins to run on the tentacle's back as it takes to the clouds. She then jumps up and sticks the nietono no shana in the tentacle to hang on to it.
"Why are you running away? I'm here!" Barbara hissed as she sent out more tentacles to where Shana is.
From above, Shana hears the tentacles coming and smiles at this. 'Right in the bull's-eye!'
Shana jumps out of the tentacle when the others were about to attack her if they collided.
"This is it!" "WINGS OF CRIMSON!" Shana descends downwards like a missile before falling onto the lower parts of the tentacles.
The flame around Shana begins to burn the backs of the tentacles' bodies.
"URU!?" Barbara's eyes widen in shock.
Shana with her wings then starts flying towards Barbara while her tentacles burn. The bearded woman was alerted by this.
"How fast!" Barbara said. She didn't have time to change her hair style for the first time in her life, and had to resort to blocking it with both hair cuffs.
"HAAH!!" Shana went to Barbara and the nietono no Shana collided with the hair hands.
Stab*
"Ghroa!?" Barbara suddenly felt immense pain as if something had gone through her. The hair fists slowly moved on thanks to the fire and it is revealed that the tip of the nietono no shana made it through Barbara's abdomen.
"Uuurh..." Barbara groans.
"What's the matter? Aren't you gonna laugh now?" Shana taunted before taking the nietono no shana out of Barbara. A small hole was seen. Barbara stood up. Like a zombie. Shana begins to walk away.
"E...Evej...Eve..." Barbara tried to speak.
"huh?" Shana turned.
"Even...my defeat at the hands of a client is. that's...so feminine!" Barbara said before slowly lean her body.
And before Shana could blink Barbara fails flat on her face, seemingly unconscious.
...
...
...
...
...
...
Shana just unwrapped the nietono on shana. She then stopped as she heard a noise continually getting louder.
"...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Shana's widen when the noise started to get too loud. It was a man's scream. When Shana looked up. She saw a small target in the sky being sent to the sky's at high velocity. Until a *blink* was heard and the target was no longer seen.
"This voice peeked my memory... It appears to belong to..." Alastor glowed.
Shana just smiled. "Looks like it's done."
Shana had finished her fight and was now heading back to where the Straw Hats were. She heard a scream.
"SHANA!" There was no mistaking. It was Luffy's voice. Shana then looked down and saw three small dots on the ground.
"So I trust that Buggy has been dealt with?" Shana asked.
"That's it! You should have seen that, Nami stole the parts of the big nose and tied it to a rope and it became very small!" Luffy gestured. "Then, all I did was take him somewhere else!"
"Mr. Mayor." They heard.
"Huh?" Said shana seeing a dozen people, surrounding Boodle.
"Who is it?" Luffy asked.
"They don't look to be more Buggy pirates. Maybe they are civilians who finally decided to step out of their comfort zone." Shana guested.
"Hey, you." Suddenly called them one of the villagers, seeing them. "Who are you? Why is the mayor in this state? And where's the Buggy?"
"Uh, we're just..." Began Nami.
"We are pirates." Luffy said. This caused both Nami and Shana to comically fail to lean their body's.
"Shut up, you moron!" Nami barked.
"Pirates?" Repeated the civilians.
"And I was the one who knocked out the may- WHOA!?" Added Luffy. However, he was interrupted when someone made him trip on the ground. It was Shana.
"Imbecile, are you a fan of danger or what?!" Shana yelled.
"Great. Now we have more problems to deal with." Zoro commented.
the villagers direct their weapons at them.
"All on them! We will avenge our mayor."
"Yeah!!"
"Run." Cried Nami, grabbing her bag, before giving it to Zoro. "Hold that, you."
"Huh? Why…?"
"Do it, that's all." Nami said bitterly.
"I know this isn't the time to ask, but what's that?" Shana asked.
"Oh, that? While Luffy was fighting I managed to steal some of Buggy's treasure." Nami explained.
"Okay. Got it!"
"All of this is your fault, Luffy." Nami Cried. "Couldn't you have kept quiet, damn it!!"
"Me, I am reassured now. " Luffy said.
"Huh?"
"Yeah! If they got so angry because I hit their mayor, it was because he had a good reason to fight against Buggy! This is a good city."
"This boy is full of surprises. So much even i can't predict." Alastor glowed.
Turning suddenly, he stepped in time over a little white figure, covered with bandages. Recognizing it, Luffy stopped before smiling.
"You're fine, so much the better! Until next time, dog."
"Woof!!"Chouchou Barked, growling at the civilians in order to stop their progress.
"Chouchou? What are you doing?"
"Get out of the way, Chouchou!"
"You're barking against the wrong people you know!"
DOCKS.
"Finally, we got there." Rejoices Nami, running towards her boat.
"Wow, your boat is so cool." Luffy said, finally putting the barrel of apples on the ground.
"Is that so? I just stole it from three idiots, there are two days."
"These? Are we going to sail the ocean on these two boards? It's very open. If someone invades us while we sleep they will easily sink us." Shana states her opinion before jumping to one of the boats. "...I know nothing about boats and stuff. But I suppose this is passable. If this world really is just flooded in water then its stupid to deduct that we can get a new one soon."
"Indeed. If we plan on going to the grand line, a new ship, and new companions are a must!" Nami agreed.
A few minutes later, the boats connected to a rope where now sailing and leaving the island.
"Young people!!!" They bowed then.
While the boat was sailing along the island, a person was running on a small path, while beckoning to the occupants of the two boats.
Luffy recognized him. It was the mayor. But he had no armor on him.
...
...
...
...
"This fight had no involvement with you. I was about to die... I was about to sacrifice my life for a foolish cause..." The mayor lifts his face up with a smile. "Thank you! Thank you for everything!"
Luffy simply smiled upon hearing. "Don't mention it!!"
The mayor then looked around him to find a large bag next to him.
"Umm? That bag wasn't here when we arrived. Wait, now that I realize. Where's mine..." Nami noticed.
"Ah! I left it to the old man!" Luffy said simply.
"WHAAAAAAT!?! YOU DID WHAT!?!?!"
"They'll need the money to repair the damage to the village- AHHHHH!!" Luffy was taken back by Nami shoving his head into the water.
"I DON'T CARE! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU DID!? THERE WAS MORE THAN 50 MILLION BERRI IN THAT BAG!!!"
"AHHH-!!! I'M SORRY!! *EHUWHH* AHHHHH!!"
Zoro and Shana are seen laughing at everything on the other boat.
'It seems to me that I'll be in a comforting zone in this world faster than I originally anticipated.' Shana thought.
And there it is.
Fuck you jrpgs for giving me a reason to procrastinate for 1 month when this chapter was 80% done.
That fight had a lot of stuff cut out.
The first OC of the story, Barbara was gonna have one of her hair attacks ended up in Shana's mouth. There was also gonna be a bigger emphasis on her hair fists.
You could also tell that i was really overdone with this chapter cuz after the fight ends it all goes really fast.
Also. New isekai member incoming.
I was going through old comments and stumbled upon suggestions i hadn't noticed before. One of them was 'Squid girl'. Tha peeked my interest. i just watched Ika Musume and i thought that the show's main character needed a spot on the crew.
I don't know when she'll come. But. I have plans with the little one.
But enough of that.
This chapter won't have preview.
cuz we will be going to syrup town.
An arc i'm not really fond of. But that doesn't matter.
Seryu is making her debut. We'll see how i'll handle her.
Alright. I'm losing my guts.
See ya!
