| - Chris: Yeah!! I just love summer islands! They're the best! Spike: Chris, you dolt. You say the same thing about every other season. Chris: Well yeah... But still! Aphro: He's got a point, you know! Summer islands are truly the best! Spike: Oh? How so? Aphro: Because, my dear boy... Aphro: There will be many beautiful ladies waiting for us along the beach! Summer's the perfect time to get a tan, after all! Wyatt: Looks like the pervert's doing what he does best. Daydreaming about women. Glory: To think, we've gotten to see so much already, and we're not even half finished with our journey... [giggling] I can't wait to see the New World! I wonder what kind of strange things it has in store for us...! Karen: This is so exciting! I can't believe that i'm going to actually see the New World! I hope there's a lot of cool stuff there for me to do! Glory: Awww! That was so cute of you, Karen! Karen: Huh? It was? Glory: Cut it out! You're too adorable for your own good! Karen: Waaah! Glory! You're squeezing me too tight! Aphro: Oi, speaking of Peabodys, has anyone seen my darling Ms. Rune?! Hanuman: Yeah, and where Timber? He in his room? Timber: You guys wondering where Rune ran off to, ay? Chris: Huh? Timber? What were you doing below deck? Timber: Heh, I just got done working on an ultra gift for Rune, and so I wanted to surprise you all with the news myself. Spike: So? Don't leave us in the dark here, Timber! Wyatt: Yeah, spill it! What did you make? Is it why Rune hasn't been seen in a while? Timber: Well, yes it is. You see, I went and made... Timber: An ULTRA study for Rune! Now she has a place of her own! How ultra am I?! Spike: Heh, I see. How considerate of you, Timber. Sakura: Very nice, Timber. I assume she was pleased? Timber[rubbing the back of his head and grinning]: Hehehe, it was nothing! But I DID make it extra classy for someone as sophisticated as Rune! And I think she likes how I decorated it too, since she's been in there all day, reading the books I helped pick out for her. And you should see the bookshelves I made too...! Timber: ...Wait, are you guys even listening to me? Marine1: It's like we keep watch over nothing. No one is that stupid enough to try and steal "IT". Marine2:Shut up you Baka. We can't talk about "IT" out here. You know what will happen if someone over hears you? Marine1: Nothing will happen. Noone even knows what" IT" is so there won't be any trouble. Marine2: You Baka you never know who could be listening right now. Just Shut up about "IT" already. Be glad i don't turn your ass in for talking about something so secret as that. Marine1: Fine thanks for keeping my back bro. Marine2: It's nothing now lets go we were supposed to be back 10 minutes ago. I don't want to get in any more trouble. Marine1: I know what you mean. Starfire thinking: Wonder island really is a wonder. Sword:Please tell me you have a plan! Starfire thinking: Not yet but i will. I go one step at a time and besides he didn't say i couldn't have a little fun while i was working. Sword: No but he trust you enough not to cause trouble everywhere you go. Starfire thinking: I don't cause trouble. I just get even. Sword: Yea well one of these days your going to meet your end causing trouble. Starfire thinking: Well till then I'll do what I'm best at. Glory: OK guys, we've finally made it to Wonder Island! Now it won't take us too long to reset the Log Pose here. Just about one day should do the trick, so try to stay out of trouble till then, OK? Chris and Wyatt: OI, WHY'RE YOU LOOKING AT US, GLORY?! Sakura: Don't worry, i'll be sure to help keep the others in line for you, Glory. Rest assured. Chris: So, is there anything fun to do on this island? Glory: Not sure. To be honest, I don't know much about this island, other than its name. It just happened to be the next island that the Log Pose was pointing to. Rune: Well it's name is Wonder Island, correct? Do you suppose there's something wonderful here? Chris: Ooh! I hope so! Like, maybe a giant turtle! Or a REALLY small forest! Wyatt: How are giant turtles and small forests wonderful, Chris? Chris: Dunno! But it'd be cool to see one! Spike: Right. Looks like he's just saying whatever pops into that little head of his. Chris[mumbling]: Well, I don't see YOU making any suggestions, Spike Ass... Spike: You realize I can still hear you, right Fart Boy? Chris: OI! I DON'T FART! I'VE TOLD YOU THIS A MILLION TIMES! Spike: AND I'VE TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME SPIKE ASS! Chris: SPIKE ASS! Spike: FART BOY! Aphro[sighing]: Oh dear, there they go again... Glory: CHRIS, KNOCK IT OFF! [strikes Chris over the head, using Busoshoku Haki] Chris[holding his head]: OWWW! Spike: Thanks Glory. Glory[happily]: Anytime, Spike! Marine Captain: Make sure section 13 is guarded. If anyone sees what's in that room i will have not only your head but the heads of the guards as well do i make myself clear. Marine: Y-yes Sir! I will tell them that. Marine Captain: You better. If anyone tries to steal IT away. Just make sure IT is safe. Marine: Yes sir! Starfire thinking: Again how the hell did i become the way i am with idiots like them working for the WG? This is like taking candy from a baby. Or a secret from the WG. Glory: Chris, what are you doing? Chris: Just tossin' rocks. ...Hah! [tosses another small rock at a tree to his left] Wyatt: Heh, beats doing nothing! Here, lemme try! Timber: Ooh! I wanna throw rocks too! Hanuman: Sound fun! Hanuman throw rocks too! Glory: Seriously you guys, we're all just as bored as you are, but throwing stones around? What if you accidentally hit someone? Rune: Doubt it. It seems this island you lead us to may be deserted. Glory: Oi, it's not my fault if we haven't seen anything other than trees and boulders yet! It's my job as navigator to get us to the next island safely! Everything else is beyond my control! Sakura: No need to get so worked up, Glory. Rune was only making a statement. Glory: Well yeah... But still, it's not my fault! Spike: Well, I don't really care who's "fault" it is, as long as we get to do something interesting. I'm itching for a little action right now. Chris: Oi, that's not fair, Wyatt! Your supposed to throw rocks! Not shoot them! Timber: Yeah, you're cheating, using your Devil Fruit powers! Wyatt: Aw, quit your complaining! We never set any rules here! You're just mad that my shot went farther than yours is all! Timber: You bragger! Wyatt: WELL LOOK WHO'S TALKING! And besides, at least i'm still using small rocks! Unlike a certain Bigfoot we know! Hanuman: OI! HANUMAN WANTED TO THROW ROCKS, SO HANUMAN THROW ROCKS! Chris, Timber and Wyatt: THAT'S A FREAKING BOULDER!! Karen: Hehe, that looks like fun! I'd like to try throwing rocks too! ???: Urgh! Who threw this rock?! Hit me right in the head too... Spike: Finally! Sounds like there ARE people on this island! Chris: Awesome! Let's go say hi! Glory: Oh no you don't! Everyone, come with me! Chris: Glory!! Why'd you do that?! What's going o-mm! Glory: Shhh, you numbskull! Keep quiet! Marine officer: That's strange... I thought I heard voices. I must be overdoing it or something. [shrugs] Oh well, back to work I guess. Glory: Well that was close! Timber: That guy was a Marine?! Spike: So I guess that means the Marines are here. I wonder why though... Rune: Hmmm... Aphro: Well, all this thinking isn't going to help us if we get caught. I say we keep moving while we figure this one out. Spike: The okama's right. Let's get moving now. We'll figure out what's going on later. Sakura: Agreed. Starfire thinking: Either these marines are really stupid or there's more guards inside that room. Either way I'm going in. Guard1: What is the Demon girl doing on this island? Guard2: I bet she's here for IT.. Starfire: It doesn't matter why i am here. The idiots right though i am here for IT. Guard4: We will never fall to a Demon like you. Guard3: Kill her at all cost. Starfire:You four are not worth the time to kill. The guards started to fire at Starfire. She dodges the bullets with ease and takes her sword out of it's shelter and slashes the four guards. The four guards fall to the floor and Strfire walks over them. Just when she reaches the door one of the guards shoots her in the upper part of her back where her left shouder is. He then passes out. She bits her lip and kicks down the door and walks in. All the scientist's look up to see Starfire entering the room.When they see her some fall to their knees. Others try to figure out what she is planing. Starfire ingours all of them and walks to the middle of the room where a glass case can be seen. She shelters her sword and breaks the glass grabbing IT. IT is nothing more then a weird looking stone. The scientist's start to grab different weapons and pointing them at her. Scientist1: Drop that now and step away Demon girl. You can not take IT away. Starfire:Or what your going to shoot me. I don't think so. Scientist2: She's planning to destroy the base. Why did we let her mess with that? Scientist3: There's no way we can let her get away. We were getting close to getting IT figured out. Starfire: Did i do that. Well you all got a few minutes before this place blows up. Hope you have fun. Aphro: What the hell was THAT?! Wyatt: Sounds like some kind of bomb may have just gone off! Karen: A b-bomb?! Spike: Are you sure, Wyatt?! Wyatt: Oi, i've been around firearms long enough to know the difference between a gun, a cannon, and a bomb! And unless that was some kind of freak thunder-clap, i'm pretty sure that was a bomb just now! Rune: Firing off bombs? But why?! Is this the result of the Marines...? Spike: It very well could be. Though it still doesn't make sense why they'd let a bomb go off like that. Glory: Right, so then that means that we need to look into this a little more! Timber: Well, it seems Glory's all gung-ho about this. May as well go through with it then. Aphro: Well if my beloved Ms. Glory wants to investigate, then I shall too! Rune: Actually, a little mystery solving doesn't sound half bad. Could be fun. Hanuman: Huh? Rune want to explore too? Karen: Yeah, that's how my sister is! She loves to solve puzzles and stuff like that. Aphro: Ah, how lucky am I to be able to travel with a woman who's as much an intellectual as she is lovely! If Ms. Rune wishes to go, then I shall too! Wyatt: You already said that when Glory spoke up, baka! Chris: Count me in! This is gonna be great! Spike: Well, looks like we can't exactly argue with these guys, now can we? Looks like we're off to explore where that explosion came from. Glory: Hold on there, you guys. The Jolly Pirates except Glory: Huh? Glory: Have you all forgotten that there are Marines on this island? And that we have an unguarded ship back on the beach? Timber: Someone's gotta go back and protect Jolly! Sakura: So who's gonna do it? Glory: Well i'm going to check out that explosion, no two ways about it! Chris: Yeah, me too! Rune: And me, also. Aphro: And me! Timber: Well, i'm protecting Jolly! Anyone else with me? Sakura: I'll stay with Timber, so that there will be more muscle guarding the ship. Spike: Well I kind of wanted to see what was going on, but... What the hell? I'll go back to the ship too. Hanuman: Hanuman go too. Make meals ready for when you come back. Wyatt: I think i'd do better off protecting the ship too. No sense in risking my neck for something I don't really care about. Glory: Well then, that just leaves Karen and Lawrence. Lawrence, I think you should come with us, since we'll need you for reconnaisance. That, and you can send messages to the others at the ship, and vice-versa. Lawrence: [nodding] Rune: Karen, I want you to stay with Spike and the others. You'll be safer that way. Karen[sighing]: Okaaay... Chris: So it's settled! We'll all meet up at the ship! The Jolly Pirates except Chris: Right! Sword: I TOLD YOU THAT WAS A BAD IDEA. WHAT DO YOU THINK HE'S GOING TO SAY WHEN HE FINDS OUT. Starfire: Blowing up the marine base wasn't part of the plan. I should've got the info and reported back. Well i got the info and the IT so no harm done. Sword: NO HARM DONE NO HARM DONE. YOU COULD'VE DIED FROM THAT. YOUR LOOKING LIKE YOU COULD FALL OVER ANYTIME. What am i going to do with you idiot girl. Starfire:There's nothing you can do. Besides if i didn't blow it up they could just hurt more people. I was doing the world a favor. Now if you don't mind I'm getting the hell away from here before any marines show up. ???: Man, I don't see her anywhere. ???: Well, she couldn't be far away now. We just have to keep looking. Timber: Oi, there she is! Jolly is off to our right! Just a little further more to go now... Hanuman: Hm? What this? Sakura: Seems like an unconcious young woman, from the looks of it. Spike: Damn, I wonder what happened here... Karen: Ah! Look! She's hurt! Spike: Guh! Karen, don't just run up to her! She could be part of a trap set up by the Marines, for all we know! Karen: But she's hurt! We gotta help her! Sakura: The wounds do still seem fresh. This girl was attacked just recently. Spike: Not you too, Sakura! Sakura: I'm just pointing out the obvious here. If we were to save this girl, now would be the time to do so. Spike: Yeah, but I still don't feel comfortable with all thi- Spike[grunting]: Fine! If it means that much to you, then I suppose we can give her a place to rest on The Jolly Holiday. Karen[happily]: Thanks Spike! You're the best! Wyatt[flatly]: Oi, that was quick. Timber[nodding]: Yeah, she went from sad to cheery in a second. Spike: Damn Devil Fruit powers... Sakura: This will be problematic though, since our doctor is away for the time being, and how none of us know a single thing about medicine. Timber: Urgh, I ultra forgot about that! That baka pervert went with Glory, Rune, and the others, so we're left without a doctor! Hanuman: Oh, Hanuman got an idea! Spike: What's up, Hanuman? Hanuman: Hanuman going to make a great feast for the human girl! Wyatt: How is food going to heal her at a time like this?!! Hanuman: Because food give strength! And strength makes people healthy! So Hanuman going to make meal for girl so that she get better! Wyatt: What the hell was that about? Did Hanuman even know what he was saying? Spike: Actually, in a way, he's right. No matter who you are, if you're injured, then your body's going to need plenty of rest and nutrition in order to heal. I'm sure Hanuman knew about that, but it just came out a little different, because of the way he talks. Sakura: Indeed, Spike is correct. Hanuman wants to help, just like any of us. So he feels the best way to help is by doing what he does best: cooking. Just leave him be for now so that he can concentrate on his meal for this woman. That's the best way we can help him right now. Spike, Timber, Wyatt, and Karen[nodding]: Got'cha! Marine officer 1: Move it, move it, move it! We need to get these guys out of here before the casualty rate increases! Marine officer 2: Get going, soldier! Marine officer 3: Yes sir! [salutes officer 2] Marine officer 4: Try to find that girl! She needs to be caught before she causes more harm! Aphro: What in the world is going on? It sounds like bedlam over there! Glory: There must've been some kind of accident on this island! Chris: Woah! Really?! I gotta see this! Glory: Wait for us, you moron! Chris: Guys...? Aphro: Hm? What is it, Chris? Chris: I think Glory... Glory: ...Yeah? Chris: SENT US TO A MARINE BASE!! Starfire thinking: Damn it i hope these idiots aren't marines cause i can't move. Sword: I wonder why you can't move. You should've just taking that weird stone and left not worrying about destroying the place. Starfire thinking: Leaving that place the way it was wuld have cased more damage. I really had no choise in the matter besides who knows what went down there. Sword: You always think everyone's so evil. You do know there are good people in the world right? Starfire thinking: Yea just cause he gave me a place doesn't mean everyone's like him. Besides them i doubt there's anyone that would want someone like me. Hanuman: Mmm! This coming along nicely! Still needs more spices though... Wyatt: Oi, it's Lawrence! He's back! Spike: Yeah, but it looks like the others haven't come with him. This doesn't seem good... Lawrence: [shifts into his lion form and looks at the others with a cautious expression] Sakura: Seems like he wants to tell us something. This'll be difficult though, as none of us can speak to animals. Timber: Though I think we all know someone who can. Spike: That's right... Hanuman! Get your ass down here! Lawrence is here and he has a message for us! Hanuman: Yes? What Lawrence say? Lawrence: [looks at Hanuman and begins making animalistic grunting noises as he talks to Hanuman] Hanuman: OH! IT A MESSAGE FROM THE OTHERS! Karen: A message?! What is it?! Hanuman: Well, Lawrence say... Chris: GLORY SENT US TO A MARINE BASE!!! Aphro: WHAT?! A MARINE BASE?!! OH, THIS IS NOT GOOD! Glory: OI, I DIDN'T "SEND" US TO THIS BASE!! I "SENT" US TO THIS ISLAND! HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT THERE'D BE A MARINE BASE HERE?!! Aphro: Ah, that's right!! Shame on you, Chris! How dare you accuse Ms. Glory of sending us to our doom! Chris: Oi, you agreed with me for a second there, Aphro! So don't go getting all high and mighty with me! Aphro: Since when did I agree with a dullard like you?! Chris: Who're you calling a dullard?!! Rune: Enough of this! Rune: Fighting won't change our outcome. The fact of the matter is that we're on a Marine base, so we're effectively stuck in enemy territory until the Log Pose resets. So complaining about our predicament won't do us any good, you understand? Chris: Yeah, we got it... Rune: So now we know why there are Marines here. And judging from the appearance of things, they were just recently attacked by some sort of bomb, so that also explains why they're in a frenzied state. Glory: So if we got those mysteries solved, then there shouldn't be any reason for us to stick around, right? Rune: Exactly. After all, there's no need to go searching for someone who would recklessly attack the Marines head on like that. That's just asking for trouble. Glory[nodding]: Yeah, I have to agree with you on that one... Aphro: So then, shall we head back to The Jolly Holiday and wait this out? Rune: Not just yet. Aphro and Glory: Huh?! Rune: We need to inform our fellow crew members of what we've found. Lawrence, can I depend on you to relay this information to them? Lawrence: [nods] Rune: Good. It's much appreciated that you will do this for us, thank you. Rune[waving]: Also, be sure to let the others know that we will be returning to the ship shortly! Glory[waving]: Have a safe trip, Lawrence! Aphro[waving]: Say hi to Ms. Sakura for me! Glory: Huh? Weren't there four of us now? Aphro: Ugh, it's our foolish captain, Chris! He's dawdling! Chris: Huh... I'd still like to know who could do something like that to a Marine base... Glory: CHRIS, YOU BAKA! WE GOTTA GO! Chris: WAAAAAAAAAAH!!! Glory: DAMN IT, CHRIS!! Aphro: AH!! HE'S FALLING INTO THE BASE!! Rune: Tch...! This isn't going to end well... Chris: Urgh... That wasn't as much fun as I thought it'd be... Chris[turning around]: Huh? What's going on now...? Marine officer 1: Oi, just who are you?! What is your business at Wonder Island?! Are you in cahoots with that demon girl from before?! Chris: Uh-oh... Marine officer 2: Ah...! AH! LOOK AT THAT JOLLY ROGER ON HIS BACK! IT'S HIM! THE PIRATE THAT WEARS HIS JOLLY ROGER ON HIS BACK! JOLLY D. "STINKY" CHRIS, CAPTAIN OF THE JOLLY PIRATES! Marine officer 3: Jolly Pirates?! THEY'RE here?! But they're supposed to be one of those rookie crews who've been gaining a reputation lately!! Marine officer 4: What are pirates doing at Wonder Island?! Marine officer 1: Doesn't matter!! We have the captain surrounded and outnumbered! If we can take him down, then the rest of his crew will be easy pickin's! Chris: Oi now, you can say what you want about me, but leave my crew out of this. Chris: OI, GUYS!! SHOULD I FIGHT THESE GUYS NOW, OR HEAD BACK TO THE SHIP?! Marine officer 3: AH, LOOK!!! THERE ARE THREE MORE OF THE PIRATES UP THERE!!! Marine officer 2: DAMN IT!! HAVE THEY BEEN SPYING ON US THIS WHOLE TIME?!! Marine officer 4: QUICK!! JUST IN CASE, ALERT THE CAPTAIN!! WE'LL NEED AS MUCH MANPOWER AS WE CAN GET!! Marine officer 1: ON IT!! [salutes officer 4] Rune: It seems i've joined one hell of a crew... Glory[through clenched teeth]: You don't know the half of it...!! Chris: Well, it looks like you guys aren't going to make this easy for us, so I guess I have no choice but to fight you now. Sorry about this... Spike: I see. Looks like we managed to find ourselves on a Marine base of all places... [sighs] [sarcastic] Well, that's just great! Wyatt: Well, at least the others are coming back soon. That means Aphro can help the girl we just met, and then once the Log Pose resets, we can get outta here. Sakura: But it won't be that simple. The Marines are in a panic over that last attack, and are going to be on high alert now. Simply laying low won't be enough. Knowing the Marines, they'll send their men out on patrol for whoever's responsible. Wyatt: Damn it, you're right... Sakura: The best we can hope for is that Aphro and the others get back soon so that we can treat the woman. After that, we'll figure out how to handle the Marines while the Log Pose resets. Spike: Sounds like a plan to me. You guys good with that? Timber: Yeah, i'm ultra. Wyatt: Same here... Minus the ultra part. Karen[nodding]: Mm-hm! Me too. Hanuman: Hanuman agrees. Sakura: Good. So now that we have that settled, we should keep an eye out for any signs of the Marines. Spike: We should also probably let the others know of our situation as well. Lawrence, you don't mind doing another round, do you? Lawrence: [shakes his head "no"] Spike: Heh, as reliable as always, I see... Thanks Lawrence. Wyatt: Oh, before you go, though. Could I suggest something? Lawrence: [gives Wyatt his attention] Wyatt: Try using your eagle form instead. That way, you'll be less suspicious. Spike: Heh, you actually came up with a good idea for once, Wyatt! Wyatt: OI!! THAT WAS MEAN, SPIKE!! Lawrence: [nods his head in agreement to Wyatt's suggestion and takes off in his Golden Eagle form] Sakura: Good, it seems things are going along smoothly. Now onto phase 2. Hanuman: That's right! Hanuman still need to finish cooking! Timber: And I guess the rest of us are on lookout duty now. Right, i'm on it. Karen: Me too. Sakura: Oh, Karen, I just thought of an important job you could do. Karen: Yeah? What is it, Sakura? Sakura: Could you keep an eye on our guest? So that she stays safe while we're on lookout? Also, i'd like to know if she regains conciousness soon. Can you do all that? Karen[confidently]: Yep! Leave it to me! Starfire: Either one They found me and didn't think i would wake up for a few more hours. Two They are making fun of me by not tieing me up. Or Three i either died and is in hell or someone found me. Well I know it's not the first two because even they are not that stupid i hope. So ugh I need to get away before someone shows up. Starfire:BAD IDEA. Bad idea. Ok I know I'm not dead. So wonder where I'm at. Ugh it smells like a quacks place in here. If they think I'm just going to lay here and get sent back they are even bigger idiots then i thought. Karen: Oi! Oi! Guess what?! Wyatt: Yeah? What's up, Karen? Did that mystery lady finally wake up? Karen: Yeah! She did! Come on, we gotta let the others know too! Wyatt[nodding]: Right! Spike: So now what? She's awake. Sakura: We do the logical thing and introduce ourselves. After all, she is still a guest on our ship, so we must treat her like one. And that includes getting to know her hosts. Spike: Alright then, after you, Ms. Host. Wyatt: Good morning, sleepy head. I bet those beds are much better than laying on the beach all day, huh? Starfire thinking: Shit I'm screwed. He said that this could happen if i wasn't careful. Not that I'm ever careful. Damn what a pain. Starfire: The beach is better then being tied down to a bed all day every day. So what your plans sending me back or killing me? Spike[sarcastic]: Ugh, nice going, Wyatt! We were gonna do this nice and slow, but I guess you went and opened your big mouth again. Wyatt: Oi, it's not my fault that the lady's jumpy! I was just being friendly! Sakura: Nonetheless, she's up, and seems raring to go apparently. Spike: Yeah, ya gotta point there... Timber: So now that she's up, maybe we can get to know her a little. Sakura: But first thing's first... Spike, Wyatt, Timber, and Karen: Huh? Sakura: Miss, you seem to have the wrong impression of us. Whoever you were up against earlier, I can safely say that we are not them. We are a mere crew of pirates who have come here to rest. That is all. Wyatt: "Mere..."? Timber: We're The Jolly Pirates, to be exact. Our captain's out checking the island right now, but he'll be back soon. Spike: Timber, don't go telling her that! We still don't know if we can trust her or not! Timber: Oh! ...Oops. Uh... S-Sorry Spike... Starfire: Jolly Pirates? Never heard of you. Your captain better be careful. There was a marine base on this island till awhile ago. There's still those idiots that's it. Sword:Why don't you tell them that your the one that did it. Starfire: What ever it doesn't matter now does it. Isn't pirates just as bad as marines. Neather give a damn about human life. All they care about is killing for their own gain. Damn what a pain. Starfire: So what kind of pirates are you? The ones that kill for their own fun or something different. Wyatt: Oi, don't lump us in with those types of pirates who don't know how to live life! Besides, who's to say you're not any worse than we- Wyatt: OW! Spike: Terribly sorry about him. He has a habit of not knowing when to shut his damn mouth. Wyatt: OI!!! Sakura: Well, whether you're willing to believe us or not, we're pirates in name only. The only crimes we've ever commited against the World Government were for reasons that only mattered to us. Nothing more. Spike: Yeah, you could say we're more like adventurers, sort of. We're considered pirates because one, the World Government is starting to hate our guts. And two, our captain seems to have taken a liking to the pirate lifestyle, so he just one day chose to be a pirate and got us to join his crew. He kinda doesn't act like a pirate captain though. He sort of just does his own thing. Timber: He's more like a little kid, really. And that's saying something, since i'm one of the younger members of this crew... Karen: Yeah, it's kind of embarassing to have an older captain that acts like he's younger than you... Timber: That was ultra cute, Karen!! You're so adorable! Karen: Waah!! Timber! You're squeezing too hard!! Timber: Cut it out, Karen!! Otherwise I might explode from your charm! Karen: Urgh...! I think i'm the one that's gonna explode!! Spike: Yeah, so as you can see, our crew doesn't really act like a real pirate crew. We're just a bunch of people that were recruited by some kid in order for us to help me find the One Piece. So you really shouldn't be so worked up. Wyatt: Yeah, what Spike said. After all, we may have actually saved you from whoever it is that attacked you. Karen[catching her breath]: Speaking... Huff... Of... Huff... Our crew... Huff... Is... Huff... Hanuman... Huff... Ready... Huff... Yet...? Huff... Sakura: Good question. He should be done by now. Wyatt... Wyatt: Huh?! What do you want from me, Sakura?! Sakura: I want you to go and check up on Hanuman for us. Tell him the girl is awake. Wyatt: Huh? Me? But why should I-? Wyatt: I'M GOING!! I'M GOING!! Spike: So then, with big mouth gone, I guess we should be asking some questions too. Like, who attacked you? And why are you on this island in the first place? You a Marine, kid? Starfire: So there's three types of pirates like he said. One's that hurts other just to have a laugh. One's that like to go on adventurers. And one's that like to blow stuff up. Wait I'm not a pirate so the theres only two types of pirates. I really need to listen more cause i think he only said two types of pirates not three. Me a marine? Hell to the no. The day they call me a marine is the day i will die. It doesn't matter who attacked me. And It's a secret why I'm here. Sword: Wow nice way to put things. You didn't even know the whole reason why he sent you here. So now what try to run before they come or sit here and hope nothing goes wrong. Starfire: I Don't know. Damn this really is a pain. Well I guess i could start off by telling them my name it won't hurt well who knows they could freak out. Starfire: The names Star or Starfire. I don't know if it's nice to meet you or not. ???: WAAAH!!! Timber: Huh?! What's going on out there?! Sakura: Sounds like Wyatt. Hanuman: Hanuman back! Found Wyatt on deck. Spike: Ah, it's only you, Hanuman. Seems like you got the food ready. Hanuman: Mm-hm! Hanuman almost spilled it too, because stupid Wyatt ran into Hanuman. But Hanuyman caught him and brought him back. Wyatt: WHO YOU CALLIN' STUPID, FURBALL?!! I WAS COMING TO GET YOU!! Hanuman: Oh, really? Sakura: Yes. It seems our guest here, who had just introduced herself, is awake. So we sent Wyatt to tell you, and see if you were done cooking. Hanuman: Oh, Hanuman understands now. Here... Hanuman: Hello human girl! Hanuman's name is Hanuman. Hanuman make curry for you, so you feel better. Hanuman hopes you like it. Spike: Oh, come on, Hanuman! You went and made one of your spicy meals for her? Her mouth's gonna burst into flames if she takes one bite of that! Hanuman: Oi!! No insult Hanuman's cooking!! Hanuman's spicy meals give people lots of energy!! Energy good for people!! Spike: Fine, fine. Don't get so hot under the collar. I'm just saying that you should've started out with something more... I dunno. Less hot, I guess. Then you could work your way up to serving curry. Hanuman[crossing his arms and pouting]: Well Hanuman make curry for girl, so girl going to eat curry. Can't change past. Starfire had a hand over her mouth trying not to laugh at these people. That was it these people could not be called pirates in any way. No matter what anyone said these people were not pirates. They were more like people that needed to get their heads checked. Once Starfire calmed down she eyed the bowl that had the curry in it. She could not smell any posion in it so she picked the bowl up and drink it till it was gone. It was spicy but not bad. There wasn't as much pain as they said there would be. She lowered the bowl back on the table and looked a Hanuman. Starfire: That was...... Hmmm. Starfire: Good I think. Hanuman: See?! Curry hot, but not TOO hot! Hanuman[smirking]: Spike just have sensitive mouth! Spike[embarassed]: Gggh...! Se... Sensitive?! Just...! Just take that back, you hairy liar! Wyatt[covering his mouth while chuckling]: Hehehehe, Spike's embarassed! Karen: Heeheehee! Spike has a sensitive mouth! Spike[red in the face]: SHUT THE HELL UP!! ALL OF YOU!! Hanuman: Well then, Hanuman glad you liked the curry. Hanuman made it special for you, so you can get your strength back. Just holler if you want Hanuman to make more food. Sakura: Now that that's all sorted out, we can return to the matter at hand. Oh, and since you were kind enough to give us your name, it's only fair we return the gesture. My name is Dracule Sakura, and i'm the crew's swordsman. Pleasure to meet you. Spike: Oh, right... My name's Spike. I'm the First Mate, and the man who's gonna become Pirate King someday. Wyatt: I'm Wyatt, the sniper for our crew. And not only that, but i'm one of the greatest snipers who's ever lived too! Spike: Or so you say... Wyatt: QUIET, YOU! Hanuman: You already know Hanuman. That be me! Hanuman is cook for crew. Timber: I'm Timber, the ULTRA shipwright for our crew. I was the one who made this ship too! You see, The Jolly Holiday is a Frigate class ship, with... Karen[smiling cutely]: And i'm Peabody Karen! I'm new here, but I got the job of being our crew's helmsman! Spike: Come to think of it, because we don't have our doctor with us, it'd probably be a good idea to give you the position of nurse as well, Karen. Karen: What?! Me? A nurse?! But I don't know... [playing with her fingers in a cute way as she gets nervous] Wyatt: Aw, c'mon Karen! Have more faith in yourself! Not only are you great at following directions, but you're great with people too! I think you'll make a great nurse! Karen[getting embarassed from the flattery]: Aww, stop it, Wyatt! That's too much!! Sakura: Speaking of Aphro, I pray that Lawrence has reached them by now. I'd like to have the others back here so that we can sort outwhat to do next, while we hide from the Marines. Timber: Aw, knowing those guys, i'm sure they're OK. Chris: Here I go then! Hyaaah!! Glory: Those baka... Don't they get it that they're shooting a Logia Devil Fruit user? Rune: The fear of facing our captain must be causing them to not think straight. This battle will be over in a few seconds. I suggest we start leaving immediately. Aphro: Oh dear, really? To be honest, I was sort of hoping to watch this. But if you say so, I shall not argue with you, my love! Rune: Um... OK. Thank you, Aphro... I think. ???: You're not going anywhere, pirates! ???: I'd expect nothing less from the upcoming rookie, "Stinky Chris." Very nice work, dispatching our men like that. Captain: But this is the end for you, Stinky. We have your comrades. So unless you want them to end up looking like sponges when we're through with 'em, you'll put an end to all of this right now and come with me! And who knows? If any of you are lucky enough, you might not end up in Impel Down! Hahahaha! Captain: Ah, it seems you understand the situation you're in now, don't you? Even if you tried to pull off a miracle, we'd have shot you enough times, that you'd have no hope in Hell of reforming afterward! Hahahaha! Chris: Grrr...!! Marine soldier 1: Gragh!! Captain: Hm?! What just happened?! Show yourself!! Marine soldier 2: Grugh!! Captain: JUST WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, STINKY CHRIS?!! Chris: Hehehehehehe!! Captain: What's so funny, pirate?!! Bird: SKREEE!!! Chris, Glory, Aphro, and Rune: LAWRENCE!!! Lawrence: SKRAAAAAAWR!!! Captain: Damn it...! Glory: Nice going, Lawrence! I'm so proud of you! Aphro: Way to come through for us, you big, loveable fuzzball! Rune: And now we can take the offensive without worry... Chris: Tootootootootoo!! Artillery soldier 1: Captain, what shall we do now?! Captain: That must be "Griffin Lawrence!" Shoot him!! Glory[sarcastic]: Hehe, good luck with that. Captain: FIRE!! Chris: HRAAAH!! Clay Clay Shield!! Artillery soldier 3: Damn it, they escaped! Captain: Rrrrrrgh...!! AFTER THOSE PIRATES!! WE CAN'T ALLOW THEM, OR THAT GIRL FROM BEFORE TO ESCAPE WONDER ISLAND!! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!! Marine soldiers and Artillery Unit: SIR!! YES SIR!! Sword: There is no way you can fight another battle the way you are. Just what are you planning? Starfire thinking: Just to beat the crap out of the marines that come here. And to show the Captain of them not to shout so loud next time. Sword: And how do you plan on doing all that? Starfire: I'll just plan as i go like always. Sword: IDIOT GIRL ONE OF THESE DAYS YOUR GOING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED. Starfire: Whatever. I've rested long enough besides thoese idiots want me also so there's no turning back now. Starfire: Your captain and the rest of your crew will be here soon. You all should get the hell away from here once they get back. No telling what will happen afterwords. Wyatt: Hm? You're saying Chris and the others are coming back? But how do you know that? It's not like you can see through walls. ...You can't see through walls, right? Spike: Nevermind how she knows that. All that matters is that they're coming back, so we should get ourselves ready to defend our ship. Once they return, there's no doubt that the Marines will be following their trail. Sakura: I agree with Spike. Once the others come back, get ready to go on the defensive at any minute. We'll need to return to our posts and keep an eye out for signs of the Marines. In fact, we should have at least three people out there right now... Sakura: Hanuman, Wyatt, and Karen. You three go out and keep your eyes peeled for the others, or for the Marines. Whichever comes first. Hanuman: Yes ma'am. Wyatt: So you're sending me out on errands again, huh...? Yeah yeah, i'm going, i'm going. Karen: Don't worry Sakura! We'll warn you of anything that shows up! Timber: So it's just down to us three, and Starfire, huh? What are we gonna do in here? Sakura: Well this girl, "Starfire," is free to do as she pleases. But the rest of us will sit quietly in here and wait for any news from the others. If Marines DO show up, we'll be ready to ambush them. Spike: Argh...! If I knew you were gonna make me do something boring, then I would've volunteered to go out and keep watch! Damn it all... Starfire: Those marines are going to be strong you know after what happened their not going to take any chances. And no that's one thing i can't do is see through walls. I'm not called Demon Girl for nothing. Shit I shouldn't had said that. Sakura: "Demon Girl..."? Timber: Quite the alias you've got there. I guess that really does make you an enemy of the Marines. Spike: So that definately rules out my guess that she's a Marine insurgent after all. Still though, to be called a demon, you must've pulled off quite a few big crimes against the government then, huh? Sakura: You say that as if it's a rule of thumb to go by. Spike: What? Don't tell me I actually offended you... Seems you CAN be sensitive. Well, when you wanna be, that is... Sakura: ... Aphro[coughing]: Finally! Cough! Fresh air! Glory[coughing]: It was horrible down there! Cough-cough! Rune[coughing]: Does that happen... Cough! Frequently?! Lawrence: [coughing as well] Chris: I told you guys to shut up about it!! Glory: But it reeks, Chris!! Aphro: How can you stand it?!! Chris: For the last time, I DIDN'T FART!! THAT WAS THE MOLE WE PASSED A WHILE AGO!! Glory and Aphro: WE DIDN'T PASS A MOLE, YOU BAKA!! Chris[averting his gaze and getting red in the face as he pouts]: So...?! Just shut up...! Rune: Cough-cough! Well no matter what happened back there, we need to keep running! The ship shouldn't be too far from us now! Aphro: Ms. Rune's right! We need to keep going! Chris: Right! Follow me! I know where it is! Glory: OI, YOU MORON! I'M THE NAVIGATOR! I'LL LEAD US TO THE SHIP! Starfire: Well that wasn't what i was here for but since i was here i felt like blowing to the next world so they won't turn anyone else into a weapon or a demon. Besides it's fun to watch them freak out after i mess with their stuff. Makes me feel like their starting to understand even if they don't. Spike: Turn anyone else into a...? Hanuman: BIG NEWS! HANUMAN HAS BIG NEWS! THEY'RE HERE!! HANUMAN REPEATS, THEY'RE HERE!! ???: WE'RE HERE!! TOOTOOTOOTOOTOO!! Sakura: Seems the boy and the others have finally come home. Spike[happy, yet slightly irritated]: That... Moron! Starfire: So your not under attack. Damn it just what i didn't need. I guess you can all leave since your idiot of a captian is back. Better get going before those idiot marines show up. Sword: Nice going girl how are you going to explain those to them? You never look before you leap and now it's going to cost you. Starfire thinking: I'll find a way. Sword: Good luck with that idiot girl. Spike[staring blankly]: ............. Seems she ate a Zoan Devil Fruit, like me. Sakura[flatly]: Appears so. Spike: Well then, thanks for wanting to help protect our ship from the Marines, Starfire. Seems I went and made a mistake by thinking you'd be a Marine. [chuckling] ...There's no way in hell a Marine would fly off the handle for a group of pirates like that. Sakura: And we apologize if our childish captain startled you. He's not the best when it comes to self-control. Now if you don't mind, shall we go out and meet him? Timber: Oh, and by the way, Starfire. I know Hanuman said his cooking would heal you, but it isn't really gonna be enough. But we have an ultra doctor on our crew that can patch you up real nicely. He just came back with our navigator and captain, so if you want to get those bullet shots taken care of, feel free to come out onto the deck with us. Oh, and just be careful with our doctor. He's... Er, she's... Well, this doctor's a bit... "Wierd..." Anyway, see ya soon Starfire. Take it easy. Starfire: I don't know what just happened but i think that they thought theses wings are apart of a zoan what ever that is. Sword: It's a type of Devil Fruit. Paramecia Zoan and Logia are the three types. Didn't anyone teach you about Devil Fruit? Starfire: Yea someone told me but i didn't listen to those idiots. So those weird fruits are real i guess i shouldn't be to shocked. Besides look what they did to me and that's not to far fetch. Sword: The WG didn't make those Devil Fruits you know. They just research a way to make it easier for them to gain power. Starfire: I don't really care now that that's over with better go get looked at. If that quack tries anything funny I'm gonna. Sword: Don't scare the guy to make him faint. Starfire: It only happened 5 times and i don't think I'm the one who did it. Sword: Yea sure keep telling yourself that. Starfire: Nice ship you guys got. It's much better then any marine ship. Well anything is better then a marine ship. Starfire: Well. Sorry for causing you any trouble. But i should get going so i can. Sword: Running away? Starfire:I'm not running besides there's nothing wrong that I can't take care of later. 'Sword: 'Just let them help I bet they can take care of your wounds better then you ever could. Starfire:I'm fine i can go at least another day before crashing from them thank you very much. Besides you know i don't trust Doctors or quacks. Sword: And you just say all that outloud too. You do know that right? Starfire:Nani i did oh shit. Now that's just great. Chris: Uhhh... Who's the girl, and why's she talking to her sword? Spike: We were actually going to tell you about her. As for the sword... I really don't know. I just assumed that whenever she started talking to that thing, that she had an imaginary friend... Glory: Oh! That's right! She must be the girl that Lawrence told us about! You guys sent us a message saying that you had someone who needed medical care, right? Timber: Oh, that's right. We did! Sakura: Indeed. This young lady here, who goes by the name of Starfire, has two noticeable wounds that need looking at. So far, we allowed her to rest in the infirmary, and Hanuman made some curry for her. But she'll still need a doctor. Aphro: A doctor, ay? Then it's a good thing I arrived when I did! Especially if it means saving a lovely young lady like her. Aphro: Leave it to me, my beloved friends! I'll see to it that Ms. Starfire here will become as good as new again! I solemnly pledge this as a doctor, an okama, and... Aphro: ...As a human being! That is... The Okama Way! Chris[tearing up]: That's so moving, Aphrooo...!! Wyatt[also beginning to weep]: You're such a good friend!! Spike: ...You two are a bunch of softies. Aphro: So then, Ms. Starfire, was it? My name is X Aphro, and I am the doctor aboard this pirate vessel. I was told by my friends that you had some serious battle injuries that needed mending, no? Well, worry not. I am here, and i'd love to be the one to make you feel better. Do you accept, Ms.? Starfire: The names Starfire. And i take that back your not quack but a nut job. Fine you can take a look but if you try anything funny I'll send you to the next world so fast you won't even know your dead. Got It? Sword: You are the worst troublemaker in the world. You do know that right? Starfire:Don't care! Aphro: Oh my, I fully understand, Ms. Starfire! Think nothing of it! I shall be a true gentleman, although I am actually an okama. Ahaha... Sorry, just a little humor there. Aphro: Now then, may we head into my infirmary? I can tell you've already been in there once, but I must check up on you there, just in case I need to get something, like medicince, antibiotics, or bandages. That, and i'd like to ask you if you know what may be troubling you. I only ask this, because if you know what your injuries are, then that'll make it much easier for me to help. It'd be better than me having to search for the wounds myself, now wouldn't it? Starfire: Fine i guess your right. But someone is going to be in there while you take care of my wounds just to be on the safe side. I guess i should start now. My head hurts. Ears are ringing cause of the blast. My back feels like it's on fire and has drepree in it from the blast. There's also a bullet or two in my back and there's one in my right leg. There also might be a few big cuts that might need some aid. And right now i feel like I'm going to pass out from either the lack of blood or from the pain. Starfire: If there's more i can't feel it cause of all the pain. And i bet your all wondering how the hell I'm still standing. Well I guess you can call it being stupid but I never back down even if i'm on my last leg. Chris: Holy crap, that's a lot of blood!! Spike: YOU MEAN, YOU JUST NOTICED?!! Aphro: Hm, I see. It seems you may have be suffering from fatigue mostly. As for the ringing in your ears, just give it some time, and you should be fine. For your head, i'll get you an ice pack to soothe the aching. And as for your back, that's simply inflamation from the bullet wounds. That'll need some ice on it too. But for now, removing those bullets from your back, cleaning the debris out, dressing your wounds, and trying to keep yourself from bleeding to death will be our priority. And as for your request, i'll get one of my friends here to join me. Now then... Aphro: Who's going to join us? Ms. Starfire here wants someone to come with us. Glory: Huh? One of us? Er... I'm not sure if i'd be comfortable around so much blood. Sakura: What about you, Karen? Karen: Wha-?! Me?! Why?! Spike: Well we were just talking about how you'd make a great nurse, and it seems Aphro's gonna need the help. So what do ya think, Karen? Will ya do it? Karen: Well... If it's for our new friend.............. OK! I'll help out and go with them! Aphro: Ah, marvelous! Thank you very much, Ms. Karen! Now we don't have time to waste! Fetch me some ice packs and meet us in the infirmary, A.S.A.P.! Karen[saluting]: Yes sir, Dr. Aphro! Aphro: Dr. Aphro, ay?! Ahahahaha!! I rather like that! Splendid! Alright then, let us help save Ms. Starfire's life! Karen[smiling sweetly]: Aye aye, Dr.! Aphro: Worry not, friend. Ms. Karen and I will see to it that this pain you're feeling right now will be nothing but a distant memory. Soon, you'll be healthy once more, and free to do as you please. Aphro: Now then, Ms. Starfire. Please take it easy while you wait. I will be with you shortly. First, I need to disinfect myself, then I will need to gather my supplies. It shouldn't take too long, my dear. I hope you don't mind. Starfire: Don't worry i won't make a run for it. Even if i do want to it seems like my body won't move. It seems I won't be in the world of the awake much longer after all ha ha ow damn what a pain. Chris: Hehe. Ya know, Rune? You're sister's a really nice person! Rune: Oh, you think so? [smiling] Thank you, Chris. Glory: Mmhm! I agree with him! Thanks to Karen, things will run much more smoothly on this ship from now on. Rune: Well, ever since she was little, Karen has always been good at following instructions. Seems she has a natural affinity for carrying out instructions. Wyatt: Argh, she's starting to use those big words of hers again... What's "affinity" mean, again? Rune[giggling in her throat]: It means she has a talent for what she does, Wyatt. Wyatt: WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY THAT?!! Sakura: Wyatt. No shouting. Rune[thinking]: Hmhmhm...! This crew truly is interesting! Although Karen and I have only been members for a short time, it already feels like we've made ourselves at home. This is definately a far cry from my previous crew... I think i'm going to enjoy my time here. Aphro: And that's the last of them. Thank goodness. Now we can get to work on patching her up. After that, we'll make sure she gets adequate rest in order to help hasten the healing process. Ms. Karen, please get me the gauze. Karen: Yes Dr. Aphro. Aphro: Good job, Ms. Karen. Despite this being your first try, you did a wonderful job at supporting me, and making sure Ms. Starfire here was comfortable while we went to work at healing her. And even though this was a bit simpler than something like heart surgery, or curing a disease, you showed true skill just now. If I may be so bold, i'd even go and say that you'd make a fine nurse one of these days, my dear Ms. Karen. Karen[flaterred]: Re-... Really?! Y-... You're just saying that! Aphro: No, I speak the truth, my dear. You may have found a sort of calling just now. But i'll leave it up to you whether you want to pursue this career or not. After all, one's life should be chosen by one's self, not by another, like moi. Karen[tearing up]: Th... Thank you so much Dr....! Dr. Aphro...! Aphro: No need to thank me. You discovered this talent all on your own. I was merely here to observe it happening. Now then... Let's give Ms. Starfire some time to rest. She may have a strong will, but i'm sure she'd still appreciate a little peace nontheless. Karen[wiping the tears from her eyes and nodding]: Ye... Yeah. Spike: Ah, so they return. How was it, you two? Took long enough... Aphro: Ahahaha! Indeed it did, my boy! But no need to fear, Ms. Starfire will be perfectly fine after some rest. Glory[sighing]: Oh, what a relief... I'm glad to hear that she'll be OK. Aphro[with heart-shaped eyes]: Ohhh~!! Did I just receive praise from my beloved Ms. Glory?! Why, i'm on Cloud 9 after hearing such kind words! Glory: I was just saying that I was glad Starfire's OK. You're the one to took it out of context... Aphro[clearing "his" throat]: Ahem! Right, well anyway, we all have Ms. Karen here to thank for helping me keep Ms. Starfire alive. She pulled off her duties with aplomb! Karen[flattered again as her cheeks become red]: Oh, stop it, Aphro!! You did all the work! Aphro: Ahahahaha! The modest type, I see! Chris: Awww...! She's so cute when she's embarassed! Wyatt: Actually, she's just really good at being adorable. But I see your point. Rune[smiling]: Karen, i'm very proud of you. You're growing into a fine young lady. Karen[getting redder]: Awww, stop it, Rune! Not you too!! Rune[smiling even more and giggling in her throat again]: Hmhmhmhm...!! Chris and Wyatt[tearing up]: SOOO CUUUTE!! Spike: OH, MAN UP!! Starfire:I don't mean to sound rude but WHAT THE HELL ARE ALL OF YOU JUST STANDING AROUND FOR. There's atleast 20 marines heading this way if not more. If your log is set by now you all better be getting ready to get the hell away from this island or your all screwed. I'm going to go get my stuff. It's better if they don't think you helped me. It will just case you all more trouble. Starfire:Well that plan won't work case they are here. Captain: Freeze pirate scum!! We have returned, and this time, we will NOT allow you to escape!! Hand yourselves over, NOW! And the same goes to you, Demon Girl! Spike: Crap, we let our guard down for a second, and were caught off guard! Sakura: How stupid of us... We were careless. Glory: Oh man, this is bad! The Log Pose still needs a few more hours before it resets! How can we last that long while defending our ship?! Chris: Whatever. Bring 'em on. Noone's going to lay a hand on my crew, my ship, or my friend here, without my permission! Captain: Feh! Like we'd ask pirates for permission! You're a fool to think you can fight off an entire base full of Marines! Noone's that strong! Spike: I'd ease off there, if I were you. You've obviously never faced all of us at once. Sakura: Indeed. You're underestimating our abilities. Chris[bumping his fists together in anticipation]: So like I said! Bring 'em on!! Aphro: Ms. Starfire, you're already walking again? But you haven't given your body enough time to rest! Please don't tell me you're actually considering fighting, while your body's still recovering, are you?! Starfire: If i said no i would be lying. Besides They did call me out. I can't just sit back and watch since i'm part of the reason they are here just need to. Starfire: You guys really are stupid. I mean come on you guys are worse at guarding something then a dog is. But i won't hand it over cause it will only be used for evil. Captain: Damn it Demon girl. You may have gotten the better of us last time but i doubt you have the strangth to stand after this. Perpar to fire men. Starfire:I may not know what is best for me right now. But you dare think i would just stay back after you called me weak. Well Lets See Who is Weak now. Captain:Damn it Men FIRE!! Starfire: Well i didn't think that would happen but that was cool. Chris: Woah, that was amazing, Starfire!! What did you do just now?! Spike[impressed]: Damn... It was as if her spirit itself knocked those guys out. [glances at Starfire and mumbles to himself] Who is this girl...? Sakura: Whatever that was, it surely hasn't slowed them down. So I suggest we give it a try this time. Spike[nodding]: Agreed. Glory[surprised]: Ha... Hanuman...? Was that just what I thought it was? Hanuman[equally surprised]: Yeah... It Haoshoku Haki... Glory: B-But why does this Starfire girl have it? Only one in a million are born with that kind of gift! Hanuman: Starfire must have tremendous willpower... Marines in BIG trouble now. Glory: I'll say... Sakura: Right then. So since I made the suggestion, i'll go first. Spike: Guh! Fine, go ahead! They wouldn't be any fun to beat anyway! Chris: Good luck, Sakura! Sakura: I won't need any... I'm a Dracule. Captain: Swordsman Unit!! Prepare for combat against "Swift Demon" Dracule Sakura! And remember!! She's the niece of the strongest swordsman in the world! "Hawk-Eye" Mihawk!! Swordsman Unit Marines: AYE SIR!! Sakura: "Greatest Swordsman in the World"? Feh...! Only one who would be willing to taint the name of a swordsman would be called something like that. And after defeating you, I will bring honor back to both titles... Captain: Now! While she's too distracted!! Swordsman Unit: RAAAH!!! Sakura: Who's distracted...? Swordsman 1: I-... It's r-really her!! Th-The Sw-Swift Demon!! Swordsman 2: She... She cut through them all in one go...!! Wh-... Who is she?!!! Some kind of monster?!!! Sakura: No. I am a swordsman. Captain: Rrrrgh...!! You blasted pirate!! How DARE you make a mockery of my men like that!! Sakura: The only mockery here was calling these men "swordsmen." They disgrace the title with their ineptitude. Captain: YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH!! Chris: Tootootootoo!! Sakura's so funny!! Spike[sweatdrop forms on his head]: You found humor in that...? Starfire: That girl is good. Oh and Caption Idiot Mocking you is a waste of time. Besides the way you run that marine base your just asking to be mocked by others. Captain: WHY You Demon Girl. You and those scum will not leave this island! We still have them. Bring Them out Now!! Sholdier: Understood Sir! Starfire thinking: Oh shit we are so screwed. Sword: Ya think got any ideas idiot girl. One that won't kill anyone? Starfire thinking: Well there's that one idea. Sword: You better not die girl. Captain: DAMN YOU DEMON GIRL. Chris: Huh?!! Spike: Chris, I understand your anger. Starfire's our friend now, and those Marine bastards hurt her. So we're going to give them a taste of their own medicine. But... Chris: ...? Spike: I want to be the one who teaches these guys a lesson. It's my turn, and i'm sick of waiting! Spike: Sakura!! You OK with this?!! Sakura: Of course. Do what you have to. Captain: Swordsman and Artillery Unit!!! Prepare the counter-attack against "Ancient Fighter Spike"!!! Swordsman and Artillery Unit: SIR!!! YES SIR!!! Spike: Sending in two units this time? I have to say, i'm glad the stakes have been raised, but... If Sakura could beat one unit by herself, then two units will still not be enough for me! Sakura: I can still hear you from over here, ya know... Spike: I'M PSYCHING MYSELF UP, DAMN YOU!!! ...Whatever. I'm gonna unleash total hell on these guys now!! HYAAAH!!! Sakura: Hold your fire! This is a battle of honor between you and our first mate! Fight him like true men, and don't take cheap shots at my ship and allies! Otherwise, you'll have to deal with me as well! Spike: Heh...! I knew you guys wouldn't be a challenge for me. I bet you're all regretting hurting my friend just now, aren't you? And to think, I haven't even gotten serious yet... Sucks to be you. Captain: These can't be pirates...! At least, not ordinary pirates! No... They've finally grown into their own. They should've been stopped before they became such a threat! Damn it all!! Spike: Heh, seems i've struck a nerve. Too bad for your Captain there, since we don't intend to show any mercy towards your pride. Not after what you've done to us...
