The straw had sailed the seas, still not encountering land, But also running low on supplies, celty sat down while reading some spells, and Toby asleep in her pocket " man...these are advance, this might actually be hard" she muttered

Nami and Vivi looking at the map, encompass "theres no mistaking it, I hope your ready, we've almost made it to alabasta" vivi smiled and looked out in front of the ship' father... I'll be there soon'

" don't Lie to me luffy" The three look down to see sanji yelling at luffy, Who was sitting on the ground looking away from him, Zoro was lying on the ground sleeping, while ussop, chopper and kanoo were fishing

" tell me what do you know right now, "luffy didn't say anything so the cook walked up to him, kneeling down "don't look away from me "sanji said grabbing his cheek and pinching it, making him groan slightly "I want you to look me in the eyes right now and tell me the truth "he glared, luffy got out of his grip, and shaking his head on the verge of his face "no idea what you mean sanji, I don't know anything, no clue" he said

" then let me ask you " sanji said taking out his cigarette " how did enough food for nine people I carefully divided up so it would last until we reached alabasta just, suddenly go missing in the middle of the night "sanji questioned, luffy avoiding eye contact " lying is pointless "he said grabbing his cheeks again "so just tell me the truth, you have a terrible poker face "

With his face to the side, here in his mouth and a small burp came out, he groaned while sanji got up, he leaned out slightly and said "oh hey, looks like you have something around your mouth there" he informed

" I forgot about the crumbs! "The captain then covered his mouth while trying to feel for them, which she didn't, the Cook growled at him "I knew it was you! "Sanji yelled while kicking him, Few feet in front of him, his head hit the wall " jerk...' he then turn to the girls up top " hey Nami, we need to do something, we need a better way of keeping the food safe from luffy, can we please buy a refrigerator that locks?" He asked while blushing with a smile, The smoke from the cigarette floating into the air in the shape of hearts " well maybe..." her eyes rolled over to where the three were fishing

On their side, they were eating too " might be a good idea.. Since it could be a matter of life and death..." she says, also seeing the, chewing, sanji looked towards what she was looking at and noticed " we really do need to catch something for sanji" ussop says to the two, kanoo quakes in agreement as sanji walks over to them

" so how's the fishing going?..." they all tense up with nervous smiles

" well...it's err..." Ussop mutters

The cook smiles, then slammed their heads against each other with an angry face, Ussop said something as they fell " pathetic, I can't take my eyes off anyone"

Time skip

The ship still Hadn't reached land yet, luffy and Ussop were now fishing, luffy held his grumbling stomach " I'm so hungry....and the fish aren't biting at all..." he complained

" really?" Ussop said sarcastically " you do realise this is your fault! You ate all the bait that we had! The fish ever gonna bite if we don't give them a reason!" He yelled " hey! You ate some too!" Luffy argues back

" I only ate a little, just what was stuck to the lid..." Ussop said as Vivi walked down the steps to them

" Hey guys, so how's it going, catch anything?" She asked, she then heads squawking, and once she looked over she screamed, kanoo was down there, wrapped in the fishing line squeaking like mad

" kanoo!ahhh!"

"Do you think we could catch a shark?" Luffy asked as the two looked over too " I don't know, I really wanna catch are sea king" Ussop grins

Vivi was pissed and glared at them both "Stop fishing with my duck!" She growled, and slammed both their heads against each other " jerks!"

Kanoo continued squaking at the two as Celty used magic to lift him back up onto the ship" don't worry I got him" she smiled

" thank you Celty" she smiled back, she then noticed something up ahead in the sea " other there guys..." There seems to be a green mist up ahead " what is that stuff?" Ussop asked concerned " cotton candy?" Luffy mumbled while he's jaw watching hanging Open

" vivi you might wanna get Nami" Celty says getting an uneasy feeling

" right!" Vivi runs up the stairs to the kitchen and dinning room, where Nami was sitting while writing maps, and sanji was there too " Nami there's something wrongs, come quickly!"

She brought the navigator outside to show the mysterious green mist "Oh yeah, I see it, nothing to worry about, it's just a little steam" she smiled

" your saying that steams coming out of the ocean?" Vivi asked

" uh huh" the navigator nods " it's just a hotspot, that's all" she replied " what's a hotspot?" Luffy asked

" an area of the sea where magmas made, under below the steam over there an undersea volcano" she explains

"There's volcanos underneath the sea" she adds

" ohhh!" Ussop says

" so I guess we can't eat the steam huh..." luffy pouts

" there will be a brand new island over there, and thanks to the volcano, but the process will take tones of thousands of years" she finished

" oh wow!" Sanji says with hearts eyes gushing " your amazing nami~" he said, The cigarette making smoke hearts

Back to the two fishing

"I want if I could live that long" luffy comments

" Id plan on dying some time before that" Ussop says

Kanoo comes back up,  again squawking, and tied back up in the ropes again, even after Celty released him " have you caught anything?" Sanji asked walking up to the two

"We are so hungry, can't you cook us something?" Luffy begged " you guys are just hopeless..." the cook sighed " i'll go search the storage room anyway to see if we have anything left" he said rolling up his sleeves, and walking into the storage room

As the shipping entered the steam, the crew groaned And coughed, also the side of gagging as the smell " yuck! It smells of sulfer!" Ussop complained

" I can't see anything, the steam everywhere!" Luffy yelled " just bear with it, we should be out of the steam soon!" Nami says

" I hope so my nostrils are killing me!" Celty shouts in agony

what the crew didn't know was that there was another ship behind them, it was white-ish grey ship with a pink sail with the number 2 on it

" excuse me mr two!" One of the screw shouted

" what is it now?" A gruff voice complain

"Whole bunch of smoke at 12 o'clock!" The man next to him noted, as he looked through his binoculars

" I'm Not afraid of some smoke!" He grins, pointing forward " keep Going, No matter what, we've got to take care of mr 3, or else the next target is going to be me "his face then turned pale and nervous

" yes sir! We're going in!"

"What is this?" He asked as they began to enter, the smell was catching on

"I have no idea!" The same guy replied, the whole crew was crying out as they went though

"We made it through!"

They looked towards the man in the seat and saw him gone "Ahh mr 2 has completely disappeared!" They screamed

"Let's check the cabins!" They went on a search around the ship "We can't find him!"

"This is bad!"

"Mr 2! Where did you go?!?"

With The straw hats

The two felt a tug in the fusing line and pulled up and gaped to find a man holding kanoo, who let out a crying quake " no! Really! This is getting out of hand! Ones of these days I need to stop jumping on every random duck I see!" He exclaimed

The two looked at each-other " what is...that?" Luffy asked Ussop, who was speech less, and didn't know what to say, the man then yelled out as he fell into the sea " you have to help me please! Help me I can't swim!" He cried out, as he began to sink

"Ugh...good grief..." Celty mumbled pointing her hand towards the man sinking " Instant tornado..." she mumbled, and shot a green orb

The man yells out as he's engulfed in a small tornado, which Celty with just aimed her hand over the deck, it floats up to the ship and on the deck, then disappeared

He breathed in relief, as she stopped using the spell

"...I thought i was going to die there for a minute" the man breathed

"...A shame it wasn't the case" she muttered, arms crossed, Usopp let it out indignant yell " then why did do that?!"

" testing out a spell"

" what?!?" He exclaimed in disbelief 

" it works" she shrugged

"... do you have split personality?..." he asked

" maybe, depending on my mood, which is bored" She shrugged while he sweat-dropped

"Hey! You saved me! Thanks! I never imaged my life would be saved by a group of complete strangers, thanks again, I'll never forget your kindness!" he bowed multiple times

"Although can I trouble you for a cup of warm soup, chicken noodle will do?"   He asks

"NO WAY!" The crew yelled in unison

"WE CANT EVEN FEED OURSELFS!"     Zoro yelled

The man suddenly stared directly at Vivi.  

  "Oh hey, your just an absolute cutey aren't ya! Oh yeah! Sexy! Chu~" gushed the man, blowing a kiss at her

She cringed " so weird..."

Celty's eyebrow twitched she held out her finger smacking with electricity

"Quit the flirting or else Ill zap you" she uttered darkly, making him screams in fear.    

" calm down psychopath!" Zoro held her back " get the hell off me!" She thrashed about while he held on" quit it!" He growled

"No! Get your hands off me!"

"So you really can't swim, huh?" Luffy asked, ignoring Celty and zoro fighting

" that's right, you see I ate to devil fruit, so I can't swim even a little bit" stammered nervously the man

" yeah? What kind of fruit?" Ussop asked

The man gets up " well let's see" he says placing a hand in his hip " well since I can't go anywhere till my ship picks me up, there's no harm in a little fun" he shrugged " for saving my life I will show you"

Luffy was excited " now get ready this is my power!" He yelled

He thrush his hand out and slapped luffy in the face, making him crash near the stairs, zoro growled immediately going for his swords while everyone else stared in shock, including Celty " what are you?!-"

The guy hold his hands up " wait! Wait hold on a second, this is all for a little fun remember!" He said, with...luffy's voice?! While zoro gaped in shock

"Hey now mean guy! Relax!" He smirked moving his hands away, he had become luffy " wait!...that's me!" Luffy stared in shock

" funfunfun!fun!fun!fun!" The guy laughed with luffy's face " and if I touch my face with my lift hand" he did so and he's regular face was back " I'm back to normal, now that's the power of the clone clone devil fruit" he grins

" amazing" nami said impressed

" the face and the voice match perfectly!" Ussop

" wow, just wow..." luffy says as the guy touched, Ussop s face, then nami's, chopper, zoro and Celty " there! But honestly I didn't really have to slap you around like that, Kay, now watch" he said as he touched his face with his right hand " all i have to do..." he said with Ussop face and voice, touched his face

" is touch my right hand to you" he said with Zoro face and voice, which changed again " as you can see I can mimic anyone's-" chopper face and voice and face " that's not all i can change-" nami voice and face

"body's too!" He said with celty's face and voice, he opened his robe

" ohhhhh!!!!~" Smoke came out from both Luffy and Chopper, also yelling out

Celty out of anger and embarrassment punched the guy in the head, making him fall, she also had a hand covering HER body, bright red face " You sicko pervert!" She yelled " how dare you!"

Nami looked and saw zoro with his head turned away " zoro?"

He was covering his mouth to keep from making a sound while blushing furiously, sweating bullets " zoro?...."

" hey guy, are you okay?" Luffy asked as he Ussop and chopper kneeled down to him, he groaned " well...I'm terribly sorry...but I shouldn't demonstrate my power anymore..."

The three protested, which he changed his mind " oh okay! If you absolutely insist, I guess I can show a little more!~"

The other three watched from the side as the the trio cheered the guy on , well only zoro and nami, Celty was siting on the ground, knees in her chest while quickly sobbing with a cloud of despair over her head after the guy revealed her body naked

" he's really hamming it up huh?" Nami comments

" well since I'm even more incredible, I'm Equipped with a memory feature!" He brags the three's cheering continued " Kay!"

He starts changing his face, multiple different people, vivi was shocked when she saw one face form His collection "and round! And round! And a round we go!~" he spins

" this is just boring" zoro huffs arms crossed " and twirl, open plié!" He stops in a pose spinning " well did everyone enjoy my super secret talent?" He asked " it's quite impressive but I almost never show it off" he grins

Vivi was still nervous about this guy " oh yeah!" The trio cheered, they jump up to the hug and they lock arms, doing a little dance to father " it's to good to be true!~ it's to good to be true!~it's to good to be true!~"

"Oh whatever..." nami says, she sighs and turned away, then noticed a pink ship heading towards the ship

The guy jumps into the railing " it's time to say goodbye already? What a shame" he said, hands on his hips

" no!" The trio cried " no you can't leave! Please don't go!" Ussop begged

" try not to be sad, journeys must always include farewells...." he turned to them " and yet, I'll never forget you or today..." as the three had tears in their eyes " it's been brief, but true friendships isn't determined by time!" He said with a smile and thumbs up "Don't cry friends!" He yelled jumping on his ship

" see you cool guy!"

" now quickly let's get going!" He said to his crew

" yes sir! Mr 2 mr Bon clay sir!" The guy who stood with him before said

The crew stood in shock when hearing his name "Mr...2?!?" Ussop exclaimed

" that guy...is mr 2?" Vivi gasped

" vivi! You mean you didn't know him just by looking?!" Luffy asked

" uh uh!" She shakes her head " I've never met mr 2 or mr 1 and his partner, I don't know much about any of them, or what their powers maybe..." she backs up and her back pressed against the wall, she slides down

" though I have heard rumours about them all...I've heard about mr 2....apparently he's a very tall ballerina, talks like a woman, and he wears a swan coat...the coat says Bon clay on the back.."

"You didn't know?..." zoro, Ussop and luffy said in unison, while giving Her the are you serious look,  luffy noticed her distress " something wrong vivi?"

" I saw something in his memory...in the faces that he showed us, one of those faces..belonged to my father... Cobra Nefertari...my father the king of alabasta..." she says, absolutely upset

" that's not good..." zoro comments " if he can mimic the face of a king that easily, mr 2 has the potential to cause a lot of trouble..."

" looks like we let a really bad guy get away today huh?" Ussop says arms crossed

" so that guy is our enemy?" Choppered asked

" seems so" nami said " and having him on the other side is not a good thing" she walked forward into the middle of the group " if mr 2 realised that we're ones Baroque Works Are after, Then he could use the memory's he got earlier to transform into anyone of us, we won't even be able to trust our own friends" she explains

" really?" Luffy says confused

" I'll say it again" nami sighs

" no hold on a sec" zoro cut him, placing a hand on luffy's shoulder " luffy's slow, but he's right not to be scared, just hear me out on this one and I think You'll agree, it's actually a good thing we ran into mr 2 when we did" he smirked " cause now we can prepare, and we can beat him at his own game"

"Wow. That's the first smart thing I hear coming from you" Celty drawled with fake awe

The green haired male growled unleashed one of his swords "YOU WANNA DIE WOMAN??!!!!" He snapped

Back with mr 2

"You sure seem to be in a particular good mood sir" the man next to him says, his boss was spinning around talking, he sat down and laughs " it just so happened I made some new friends today!" He says

Back with the crew

The ship was moving unsteadily. Right and left with the waves, the crew screamed out the ole trying to steer them themselves

A huge figure came out from the sea, taking the form of a huge cat "That thing is HUGE!" cried out Luffy.

"A Sea Cat!" yelled Vivi with wide eyes.

"ITS A SEA MONSTER!!!" Chopper and Usopp yelled, throwing their arms in the air.

Zoro came running on the deck, taking out his three swords and swinging them wildly around him "It looks like dinner to me!"

"Yeah let's go!" Luffy said next to the swordsman.

"We're on the right track" nami noticed while checking the compass " now, if we can just get there alive that will be great"

" food for me!" Luffy growled

The Sea Cat wore a shocked expression and started to back away from the ship, now terrified from the people in-front of it.

"It's backing away!" yelled Zoro.

"Reverse! Put the boat in reverse!" Luffy yelled

" no! We can't do that!" Ussop argued

Sanji comes running out "Hey! Don't let it get away! if the two of you don't capture it I'll kill you!" Sanji demanded, running to both Luffy and Zoro"Now then! Sea kitten! How do you think I should cook you?!"

Vivi took a broom and slammed the back of their head directly in the railing " no!"

The Sea Cat quickly took refuge in the sea, disappearing in the depths. In outrage, Luffy turned to her:

"Vivi..what are you doing I'm hungry!" Luffy complained

"W-why? Just why? It was food......" sanji cried

"Because you can't eat a sea cat!" she frowned. "I just can't let you, Sea Cats are sacred creatures in alabaster!" She informed

"Well that's good to know..." the captain groaned

"I don't think you would've cared" celty comments arms crossed

"There are more animals in the ocean than I though" Chopper smiled nervously, turning to Usopp who was on his back by the shock "If your still scared of that stuff, Then you have a long way to go" the sniper said to himself with trembling lips.

But he suddenly stood up, trying to show a brave Ussop instead. "So let me tell you about the time I fought the sea Kings of the Calm Belt young chopper..."

" sea kings?! Really?!" His eyes sparkled

" and big ones too, they were really huge!" He brags

"Our food got away..." luffy pathetically cried, munching on the railing.

"Yeah but don't worry luffy...You'll be able to stuff yourself full very soon" Vivi said a smile and it quickly bring back joy to the boys heart.

"Yeah? REALLY? We'll we get it eat another cat vivi?!"

"Vivi, the wind and weather seem to be stabilising" nami called out from the front of the ship, walking toward the princess. "Uh huh, We're entering the climate area of Alabasta Island, seeing a sea cat come out of the water is proof as well"

"And those things you see behind us over there, are all the proof I need that we're getting close " zoro smiled, looking at the horizon to see many ships.

"That's a lot of ships huh, who are they...?" Luffy wondered

"They're flying with the Baroque Works symbol on their mast, this can't be good!" Usopp said, looking through a telescope.

"It looks as if all the baroque works employees have started gathering" muttered grimly Vivi. "I'm guessing these are the billions, their the subordinates under the officer agents"

"Which means there are atleast 200 enemy's waiting for us.." nami notes

"The best the baroque works has to offer, the elite of the underlings, this group will surely be a lot better then bounty hunters at Whiskey Peak"

Ussop readys the cannons "Come in! Let's blow them all away!" quickly said Usopp, turning the cannons on.

"it will be quicker if we go over there and beat them Up!"

Celty facepalmed when luffy stomach grumbled and Said " hold on, I need to eat something first..."

"Come on, their not worth it!" Zoro cut them off with a smirk "Don't bother"

"He's right. We need to keep our eyes on the prize or we might lose this opportunity" Sanji said "after all, 9 against 200 sucks"

Later, everyone was tightening a white clothe around their arms

It was best for identifying the true from a fake ballerina guy.

"Just make sure I'm tied right, I don't want anyone fooled by the enemy's disguise" Zoro said through the clothe he was tying around his arm.

" what a good plan" vivi smiles while tightening names cloth around her arm

"We'll always know who our friends are, just look for the bandage on their arm" Nami smiled

"This clone clone fruit guy" Sanji began. "So is he really that similar when he turns into someone else?" He asked

"You have no idea! It's the same, not just similar " Ussop explained

. "It was crazy! Really, you should have seen it Sanji, he changed into every one of us, even Nami and Celty, and then we got to dance with him"

Celty immediately went back to despair mode " don't remind me..." she grumbled with sadness in her voice

" I'm not really interested in dancing with a male 'ballerina..." the cook then noticed the despair form the redhead girl " why is my Celty swan crying!?" He exclaimed

" oh yeah, when he turned into her, his body changed too, and he was Celty at the time, and..." the sniper sweatdropped " showed her body...."

"WHAT?!?!!? REVEALED MY ANGLES BODY?!??" ' and I missed it?!!?'

" shut up!" She cried out sulking

" I don't see the big deal" the swordsman grumbled, she glared daggers at him " you wouldn't be saying that if you were the one revealed naked to the whole crew! Mossy head!" She growled

" shut it woman!" He growled

" you shut it! Don't think I didn't see you look away! You were watching too!" She yelled

" you looked at my precious Celty swans body?!? I'll kill you moss head!" Sanji growled

Pow!

Pow!

pow!

All three received punched to the head by nami, who had an angry face, the three n no dogs on the floor twitched while groaning in pain " knock it off!" Nami growled

Time skip

"We know that someone with his power is among the enemy, so we need to be really careful to be on our guard at all times " Zoro said

Chopper walks forward " so what should o do to help against this guy?" He asked

" just do whatever you can do, your not expected to do anything more chopper, and if you get overwhelmed then just run"
Ussop says, giving pep talk?

"That sounds like the pep talk he's always giving himself.." Sanji gives the guy a look

" what ever it is I can do..." the reindeer says tomimself, then looking up smiling "I got it!" He smiles

My God he's so cute innocent!!!!!!

"I can see the island!" Luffy yelled

" let stop at the town called nanohana, we have to hide the ship" vivi says

"Okay, no matter what happens on that island, remember this thing on all our arms, is a sign of our friendship" everyone holds out their arms with the cloth tied on them

" now let's land okay, and eat!" He yells "on and help vivi." He quickly adds

" that was a side note..." the group deadpanned
