Atop the D-Carrier, Luffy and Namora found Jinbe who had been hiding with Tak in the junkyard of all the surface dwellers attempts to see Atlantis. Jinbe had been hiding here from Namor because of his fugitive status, but though he did expect Luffy to come find him, he did not believe that he would be the princess as well.

Jinbe: PRINCESS NAMORA!?!

Namora:(smiles) Hi, Jinbe!

Jinbe: Wh-Why are you here?

Luffy:(smiles) She wanted to see the sun and stuff, so I snuck her out!

Jinbe: Urk!?!

Jinbe: If Namor learns of this... He'll believe you kidnapped her and will stop at nothing to get her back.

Luffy: Man... Really? Guess I really do have to beat him up.

Namora: You can't do that!

Luffy: Why not? He's being a jerk!

Namora: Because he's super strong and is actually really kind when you get to know him.

Jinbe: Princess... I'm afraid Luffy might have a point. Violence might be the only way to get him to see reason.

Jinbe: In truth.... You and your team showing up is probably a real stroke of luck.

Tak: Are you sure?

Jinbe: Yes... With your help I can convince the people that all surface dwellers aren't bad.

Jinbe: If we do that, we can beat Namor at his own game.

Tak: You told me about some kind of vote and stopping traffic from land to sea....

Tak: But why?

Jinbe: *sigh*

Jinbe: I wish I knew the thing that has made him decide this... But a factor of his choice is most definitely the loss of Namora's mother.

Namora:.....

Jinbe: You see...

(Opening Theme)

Craig found himself alone with Kaya in the dressing room. Nervous as can be due to how they last said goodbye with a kiss. Awkwardly looking around, Kaya rolled over with some tea.

Kaya: So tell me the epic tale of Mr. Immortal since the last time we saw each other.

Kaya: I heard stuff here and there... But I'm guessing the details were a bit exaggerated.

Craig: Oh... Well... Where to begin?

Kaya:(smiles) The beginning?

Craig: E-Excellent choice! I usually like staring at the middle to know if something is good or not, but the beginning it is!

Craig: *deep inhale*

Craig: We found a restaurant, picked up Sanji, Laura then got kidnapped, we went to rescue her.

Craig: After bravely leading the team, we saved her and caused a mountain base to collapse.

Craig: Got picked up by the X-Men, partied with the X-Men, then headed to New York where we infiltrated the rich society of the Hellfire club...

Craig: I went in disguised as... Don't really... Remember what... Just remember nailing the performance!

Kaya: As you always do.

Craig: After recruiting a kid that looks like a 30 year old man, we got trapped in a giant dome of sand...

Craig: We helped Spidey save the city, met Luffy's brother and this guy called Bon Clay... Escaped on a jet...

Craig: Where we found this Witch, spy, archeologist, Robin who joined us...

Craig: Then in Britain, we met Tak. And some of us went to hell where we stole a bunch of gold, honestly surprised THAT hasn't come to bite us in the ass yet!

Craig: Headed to Italy to sell the gold, but made a pit stop in Germany after Kitty suddenly got possessed by her cooler future self and she leaped out of a plane with Luffy!

Craig: In Italy we declared war on S.W.O.R.D, we recruited a pervy Indie rockstar...

Craig: Escaped to space... Gave Thanos a wedgie... Partnered up with Lady Death, gaining sone new powers...

Craig: Fought the Inhumans...

Craig: Went to Canada... Got seperated from the other for two years and here we are now-

He chokes on his words as he sees Guido, Robin, Lila, and Kitty's heads phased through the tent to spy on the two. They all glared and mumbled.

Guido: Looks "30 years old" ...?

Robin: "Witch" ...?

Lila: "Indie Rockstar"?

Kitty: "Cooler future self"?

Craig:....

Kaya: Do you hear something...?

The heads pull back and out of sight, to bicker amongst themselves un front of Loa.

Craig feels a cold sweat drop at the consequences for running his mouth like that. Though looking at Kaya made him calm down a bit.

Craig: Anyway! Enough about me... What are you doing here?

Kaya: Trying to sell people on the idea that the surface isn't bad...

Craig: Still running the circus, I see...

Kaya: Yeah. To give freaks and weirdos like us an alternative to joining some superhero or villain gig... And make money.

Kaya: I'm saving up, you know.

Craig: Oh? For what?

Kaya: A house. Preferably near a beach.

Craig: Already thinking about retirement?

Kaya: Wouldn't call it retirement.... Just... Starting something...(Blushes) New. Hehe!

Craig: When are you going to buy this house?

Kaya: Well... Not until my tail splits.

Craig: Huh?

Kaya: When Mermaids reach 30, their tails split and they can walk. When that happens, I can just blend in with society.

Craig: So like in... Ten years?

Kaya: Roughly so. Plenty of time to get all the adventure out if someone.

Craig: I see...

Kaya: Do you?

Craig:.... O-Of course. I can see souls you know! When I focus... But I can see them!

Kaya: Then tell me, what do you see?

Craig: I-I see.... Uhm...

*Ring-Ring*

Kitty:(muffled) Craig, get over here!

Craig/Kaya:?

(Elsewhere)

Paige, Laura, and Sanji were wandering around the castle of Atlantis, keeping a low profile whilst looking around for where Luffy was, not truly aware he was long gone by now, having gotten side tracked with the Princess.

As they wandered, Sanji couldn't help but flirt with the lady in clothing he VERY liked.

Sanji: So... How you do you know Luffy?

Paige: He appeared two years ago in the Savage Lands. My tribe of Amazon Lily, found him unconscious.

Sanji: Amazon Lily? Sounds lovely, I hope you can show me around when we visit.

Laura: Ugh...

Paige: Women are only allowed in Amazon Lily and the Savage Lands.

Paige: Luffy has earned the favor of the Empress Boa Hancock, thus is the only man allowed.

Sanji:....

Stopping in his tracks, Paige continues walking, until Laura stops her. Confused, Paige watched the smirking Laura point at Sanji.

Laura:(smirks) You can see the gears turning in his head.

In his mind, Sanji put it all together. Luffy 2 years ago landed in a place filled with women like Paige, and befriended Boa Hancock, who he knew from Robin, was the most beautiful woman alive.

He promptly fell to his knees and began slamming the floor with his fist.

Sanji: It should have been ME! Not him!

Sanji: Damn you Magneto! Damn you straight to hell! I'm glad that you died, you bastard!

Sanji: *sobs*

Paige: What's wrong with him...?

Laura: Curly brows is just sour that his pervy ass can't see your homeland.

Laura: But don't worry, bub....

Laura: I'll enjoy it for both of us, when we go visit.

Sanji: Urk!?

Laura: Just me, Kitty, Robin, Lila, blondie here... And Luffy. Just the six of us and all those ladies.

Sanji: They'd probably kick you out for smelling like wet dog...

*Snikt*

Laura: You wanna shave, pube face?

Sanji: I don't hit ladies. That includes bitches.

Paige: Aren't you two supposed to be on the same team?

Sanji/Laura: And?

*Ring-Ring*

(Meanwhile....)

Jinbe: And that's what made Namor so on edge.

Luffy: Zzzzzzz... ZZZZZZZZzzz...

Jinbe: Was he asleep this whole time?

Tak: After the first two words, he kinda drifted off...

Jinbe: I guess it makes no difference... The past isn't as vital as what we will do in the future!

Jinbe: LUFFY!

*Pop*

Luffy: Huh? Is it dinner time yet?

Jinbe: I need your help with my plan.

Luffy:(smiles) Sure!

Tak: Jinbe, before you go on... I'd like to do a rollcall!

Holding out his watch, Tak calls out to everyone he called.

Tak: Okay team, let's see who's all here.

Kitty:(on call) Here.

Craig:(on call) Mr.Immortal ready to guide us to victory.

Guido:(on call) Hello!

Robin:(on call) Present.

Sanji:(on call) Don't really appreciate you putting your number in my phone, Tak....

Laura:(on call) I'm here.

Namora: Uhm... Hello...?

Luffy: Hey guys!

Paige:(on call) Luffy, is that you?

Luffy/Jinbe: Hm?

Luffy: Paige, is that you?

Paige:(on call) Yes, I'm with two of your friends... I think....

Laura:(on call) Oh yeah.... Luffy, is this chick telling the truth? She's your pal?

Luffy:(smiles) Yep! I thought about going to visit her place after this, but if she already here we can go someplace new!

Laura:(on call) Pfffft...! P-Perfect!

Sanji:(on call) Damn it! Damn it all to hell!!

Jinbe: So you're here too, Paige? Very good. I have the utmost confidence that we can stop Namor now.

Loa:(on call) I'm chiming in to say that I'm also here.

Jinbe: Then you can go put our plan into play already. Gather everyone, and send a message to Namor that I and the princess will meet him and everyone in the extentsion.

Jinbe: Let the word spread.

Loa:(on call) Got it boss.

Jinbe: As for the rest of you... My plan is simple.

Jinbe: I shall convince Namor to fight me. And I'll lose...

Jinbe: That's where I will call upon you all for help.

Luffy: Can't we just go with you and beat him up right away?

Jinbe: No. We need to show your compassion. Show to everyone that surface dwellers aren't all bad. Doing that is the only way to stop the vote going Namors way.

Jinbe: You all must play the heroes of Atlantis.

Luffy: I don't wanna play hero! If people think I'm a hero then that means I have to share my meat!

Luffy: I don't SHARE Jinbe!

Everyone: That's the issue he has...?

Jinbe: Luffy... You don't have to share any meat with anyone. Simply wait for my signal and come to fight Namor.

Luffy: You promise?

Jinbe: I promise.

Luffy:(smiles) Alright then.

Jinbe: Does anyone have any questions?

Sanji:(on call) Yeah... Where's this taking place?

Jinbe: To the east of Atlantis, there's an empty plot in a bubble of air.

Jinbe: That's where development of an extension of the city is going to be built.

Jinbe: And where everything will take place.

Sanji:(on call) East...  Got it. I'll lead our beautiful new amazonian friend and little miss needs a scratching post there.

Craig:(on call) A-And I'll do the same on this side!

Jinbe: Stay hidden until my signal.

Tak: I'll warm up the engines!

Ending the call, Tak heads into the Carrier. Jinbe then walks to the edge and looks over at Namora who looked shyly back.

Jinbe: Princess.... I know you don't wish to use violence.

Jinbe: However, your cousin is a very stubborn man. History has shown what it will take to make him see reason....

Jinbe: But I do plan on genuinely giving him a chance to hear our opinions and change his mind.

Jinbe: Would you help me?

Namora: I-I don't know... He doesn't listen to me...

Jinbe: That's because you never speak your mind. Don't be shy, and let your voice be heard.

Namora:.....

Luffy:....

Luffy:(smiles) You gotta stop being a crybaby one day! Especially if you REALLY want to see the surface.

Namora:....

Namora: I guess I can do it....

Jinbe: Thank you.

Luffy:(smiles)
