*Slam*

Namora: Huh?

In her room with food galore, Namora was knocked out of her depression by the arrival of Luffy who stared up and the princess.

Namora: Wha!? A-are you an assassin!?

Luffy: Eh? No. I'm Luffy! Didn't we meet a while back?

Namora: We did, wait...? That voice... You're the one who spoke to me from that metal whale?

Luffy: *sniff* *sniff*

Luffy: Oh! Food!

Slingshotting up to her table, Luffy found himself in paradise with the giant sized food prepared for Namora. The princess, no longer that afraid, watched as Luffy drooled over all the food.

Namora: Go ahead. I'm not that hungry.

Luffy: Whoa! Really?! Thanks!

The massacre of the food began.

He ripped and tore the large sea beast stake, before diving into the bowl of fried shark nuggets. Seeing the pasta of squid testicles, Luffy wasted no time in slurping up as much as he could.

Which was all of it.

Namora: Are you... From the surface.

Luffy: Hm? Yep.

Luffy: *munch* *munch*

Luffy: Hurgh?!

Choking, Luffy looked around, until seeing a large cup. Stretching his arms to brim of the cup, Luffy pulled it down, pouring a waterfall of tea into his mouth, growing three times fatter and clearing his throat.

Luffy: *buuurp*

Namora: *giggles*

Namora:(smiles) Hey! Is it true that on the surface you can see this great fire ball called the sun?

Luffy: Yeah!

Namora: Really?! Is it pretty like in the stories?

Luffy: I dunno! It's too bright to look at directly- OH!

Spotting a plate of of fruits, Luffy jumped over and would have gobbled up the plate if it weren't made of metal.

Luffy: Ahhhh~ *burp*

Namora: *giggles*

Sitting down with some unknown chunk of meat, with his fat round nearly Guido sized belly jiggling with every bite he took, the giant Mermaid leaned in close and poked his meat filled cheek, finding him as cute as a hamster.

*Poke*

Luffy: Hrk!?

Luffy: HEY! KNOCK IT OFF!

Namora:!?

Namora: *sniff*

Luffy: Hm? You crying?

Luffy:(smiles) Shihihihih! You're such a crybaby, I hate people like you!

Namora: Wha!?!

Namora:(crying) *sobs* I'm sorry....

Finishing her food, Luffy laid down, his belly quickly shrunk with a snap back to its original skinny size and form. Though he would eat more if he could, there wasn't anything else to eat. Turning his attention to the giant crybaby, Luffy crossed his arms.

Luffy:(smiles) Oi! Stop crying already!

Namora: *sobs* I'm trying...

Namora: *sniff* H-hey.... Are there trees on the surface?

Luffy:(smiles) All sorts!

Namora: Wow...! I really wish I could see them!

Luffy: You've never seen a tree?

Namora: No... My cousin, Namor doesn't want me to go out.... He's scared I'll get targeted because of my power.

Luffy: That's lame!

Luffy: And another reason I gotta talk with this Buymore guy!

Luffy: But first....

Luffy: Let's go!

Namora: Go? Where?

Luffy:(smiles) To the surface! I'll show you the sun, the trees, and maybe even some grass!

Namora:(smiles) Grass?! Oh wow!

Namora: But... I'm not allowed to leave...

Luffy: Of course you can! If the problem is that you need protection, then no worries!

Luffy: I'll protect you, crybaby!

Namora:(smiles) Really? Then... I guess it's alright...

Namora: But It'll be kinda hard to escape...

Luffy: Meh! We'll just need to disguise you!

(Opening Theme)

Laura ran down the path she chose, and with her keen senses she smelled someone coming towards her fast. With a smirk, she ran faster, seeing the man fly towards him at quite the speed.

*Snikt*

*Clang*

Popping out her two claws from her right hand, Laura swung her arm, Adamantium struck Vibranium, creating a loud metallic echo. With the clash of spear and claws so powerful it brought the two to a stop, Laura was face to face with Namor The Submariner, King of Atlantis.

Namor: You dare break into my castle?!

Laura: Bub, there ain't nothin' I dare not to do. Like cutting those little fairy wings on your ankles.

Laura: But luckily, a friend of mine wants to talk. So why don't you put that spear away and we go find him before this gets ugly.

Namor: Threaten me? I'll teach you manners, surfacedweller!

Pushing himself away, Namor curves around Laura, flanking her. Thrusting his pure and raw Vibranium spear, Namor believes he would successfully stab through the All New Wolverine.

*snikt*

Laura proved herself capable and Namor wrong by leaning forward and thrusting her leg back, popping out her foot claw.

The tips struck, the same thing as before happened again, a clash with a large echo.

Laura:(smirks) I hear you're supposed to be one of the toughest guys around. So I'll gladly fight you!

Laura: IF you don't wanna talk to Luffy.

Namor: Hmph. I've not begun to try woman. Save that arrogance when you've actually proven yourself to the IMPERIOUS REX!!!

*CLANG*

(Elsewhere....)

*Blub blub blub*

*BLUB BLUB BLUB*

The Atlantis soldiers, underwater, swam circles around the D-Men, yet they couldn't quite do much to them, except for Craig, who was getting smacked across the room.

Craig: A little help!

Guido: Hold on!

Guido: "Body Flex; Flux Shock"!!

*BROOM*

With a powerful flex of his entire body, Guido sent out a shockwave through the water which knocked down his friends, but also dazed the Atlantis soldiers.

Guido: Oh no! I'm so sorry!

Kitty: Ugh... It's fine...

Lila: I'm going to prune in this water, time to dry up!

W

ith her teleportation ability, Lila the rockstar sends all the water in the room far, far away. Though water did began to pour right back in, this gave the team enough time to fight back with the Atlantis soldiers now dropped to the floor.

Robin reveal herself to still be in the room by blooming arms out of the soldiers and choking them to dreamland. Kitty moved over to Craig and freed him from his bindings.

Rejoining the group, Robin looked around.

Robin: If Luffy is here, then a fight is going to break out.

Kitty: Guess Atlantis is going on the list of countries we basically declared war on....

*Splash* *Splash*

D-Men: ?

???: Heh! I heard you kids reunited only a few hours ago... And you're already string trouble with one of the worlds most powerful Kingdoms.

Orange hair, red markings across her body, yet her professional surfer attire with an X on both her vest and surfboard told Kitty who this lady might be.

Kitty: An X...? Are you an X-Men?

???: I am... But ain't here because of them right now.

Lila: I can see your panties. I like your style~

(Meanwhile....)

Namor floated in front of the translucent wall separating the wet half from the dry half of the castle.

Laura held her own against the King, but they both knew that neither was giving their all. Pitter patter of foosteps drew their attention away. Atlantis guards showed up, out if breath and in a panic.

Atlantis soldier: Your majesty! The princess is missing!

Namor:?!

Atlantis soldier: We have no idea where she vanished too! But with these intruders we suspect foul play!

Namor: So your true intentions are revealed.

Laura: No idea what happened to your princess. Can we fight now?

Namor: I'm done with this.

*POP*

Jabbing his spear behind him, Namor pokes the wall, popping it and launching a heavy wave of water at Laura who quickly crouches down and digs her claws into the floor to anchor herself. Namor was long gone by the time Laura crouched to the ground. The Soldiers road the current after their king, leaving Laura underwater.

Laura had the utmost confidence that she would survive, that was no issue. But air was still needed and without it, she would fall unconscious and stay unconscious until brought to the surface. Laura had to think fast on where she could get air from. She raised her arm, prepared to slash open a hole through every wall to see if she could drain the water.

Before she could a female with blond hair and blue skin swam over to her. Laura was ready to attack until they offered her a little device. Clearly some sort of mask, as Laura was gestured to put it on, she begrudgingly did so, not afraid of any sort of trap.

Finding herself now able to breathe, Laura stared at her mysterious savior.

???:(waves to follow)

Swimming with this blue skinned and gilled lady, Laura quickly found her attire to not match the other Atlantis folk she's seen.

(Somewhere else.....)

Sanji walked down the path he took, taking a more stealthy approach. Noticing the guards panic, he began to quietly follow, and observe. His goal wasn't to start a fight but help start a conversation.

Little did he know....

Everyone else destroyed any and all hope of that.

TO BE CONTINUED....
