Chapter 16: Finally! A Ship!

The crew was eating a meal at the restaurant once again… Luffy and Zoro were eating fish whole, bones and all.

“I keep telling you! You don’t eat the bones.” Said Nami.

“Give it up Nami… they’re crazy…” said Nina, “And I know crazy… I was probably one of the sanest people in our group of friends.”

“So about the ship…” said Mina.

“You are not building it!” yelled Nina.

“Oh come on! It’s not like one of my robots…” said Mina.

“But who knows how long it would take.” Said Nina.

“I’d figure something out.” Said Mina.

“Also it would have to be big enough.” Said Nina.

“I’d figure something out.” Said Mina.

Nina sighed, “There’s no convincing her…”

“Don’t worry! I’m sure something will come up.” Said Luffy.

That’s when Kaya entered the restaurant.

“There you are.” Said Kaya.

“Oh Kaya, shouldn’t you be in bed?” asked Nami.

“No I’m fine. My sickness was just by my depression of my parents death.” Said Kaya, “All I was doing was feeling sorry for my self and Usopp helped me.”

“That’s so sweet…” said Mina with a small smile who then began to giggle.

“Ignore her.” Said Nina.

“Anyways, I heard your still looking for a ship.” Said Kaya.

“We sure are!” yelled Luffy.

“Well I have something you might want to use.” Said Kaya.

Kaya lead them to the shore where the battle took place that’s when saw a carvel ship that had a rather cute sheep figure head.

“That’s such a cute ship!” said Mina.

“Much better than anything you could make.” Said Nami.

Mina sighed and hung her head low.

“Good one.” Said Nina laughed along with Rose who was seemed to be laughing in a cat like way.

That’s when they saw Kaya’s other sheep like butler Merry.

“This is the Going Merry it’s Carvel that’s…” sized Merry giving the technical details to Luffy.

“Hey you should tell me that.” Said Nami.

“I’ve also stocked it with food and supplies.” Said Kaya.

“Thanks you’re adding insult to injury.” Said Luffy.

“Try adding icing to the cake.” Said Zoro.

“That too…” said Luffy.

That’s when a giant boulder came hurtling down the hill (causing Mina to hum the Indiana Jones Theme Song)

“Oh no! that’s Usopp.” Said Kaya.

That’s when Zoro, Luffy and Mina mange to stop him with kick to the face.

“Flanks.” Said Usopp tied to against boulder-sized backpack.

And so the crew onto the ship while watched Usopp say goodbye to Kaya… however on precautions had to be done…

“Why did you stuff Mina’s mouth with flowers?” asked Luffy.

“You so don’t want to know.” Said Nina holding Mina’s IPod.

Mina began to say something muffled.

“I’m sorry I’m not going to let you play that song… or even sing it.” Said Nina, “I do like Enchanted too but you really have to break your addiction of “real life romance story” fix… seriously… it’s unhealthy.”

Mina pouted while trying to get the flowers out of her mouth.

“You can understand her?” asked Luffy.

“Not really… it’s a twin thing.” Said Nina with a shrug.

Luffy nodded, knowing it probably was a twin thing.

“Hey!” yelled Usopp, “I guess this is it! I hope we meet again.”

“What do you mean?” asked Luffy.

“I’m going to become a pirate and…” said Usopp.

“Just shut up and get on board.” Said Zoro.

Usopp was shocked and happy at the same time… after a few seconds he finally yelled out “All right! Just call me captain!”

“I’m the captain!” yelled Luffy.

And so they set sailed… holding a giant party to celebrate the new hip, the Going Merry and their newest crewmember Usopp.

However after the party, for some unknown reasons tensions became high… something happened… it wasn’t known what happened but it seemed to be a fight… the three boys seemed to be glaring at the three girls who glared back. Luffy stood in front of Nami, Usopp stood in front of Mina and Zoro stood in front of Nina.

“It’s time…” said Luffy.

Nami nodded, “Let’s finish this!” she said.

“Rock!” said Usopp.

“Paper!” said Mina.

“Scissors!” said the 6.

“Paper covers rock!” said Mina.

“Oh man…” said Usopp.

“Rock beat scissors…” said Zoro.

“Damn it.” Said Nina.

“Scissors beats paper… we girls win.” Said Nami sticking her tongue out.

“Fine… you get first choice of which room you get.” Sighed Luffy.

Okay, so the reason was known… they were picking which room which sex got. The girls were in a huddle talking about which they wanted.

“I don’t know… I know we’re probably going to be the only girls on the ship but it might be funny to cram them all in there.” Said Mina.

“But the small room is nicer.” Said Nina.

“And like Nina said it’s going to cramp if the boys take the small room.” Said Nami, “That an Luffy’s going to complain.”

“Fine…” sighed Mina in defeat.

The girl’s decided, “Okay! We’re going to have the small room.” Said Nami.

“Yay! We get the big room!” cheered Luffy.

This of course mad the three girls and Rose sweat drop.

Not too long later the girls was setting up things… Nina was placing a couple picture Mina packed for her… one was them as children with both their parents and another was taken fairly recently of them with a large group of teenagers, a girl in her younger teens and 2 10 year old boys standing before a reflecting pool and a giant carousel known as the Carousel Columbia (it’s a real thing… look it up… buy the way… it’s the California one… not the Illinois one… there’s a slight difference)

“Oh yeah… our trip to Great America I remember that…” said Nina, “It… was quiet…”

“Yeah Beth threatened you know who that if he interfered with that day he would need several stitches on his butt hole…” said Mina with a shrug.

“Okay…” said Nami with a sweat drop not wanting to know what they were talking about who then noticed the other picture… which showed the two as 5 or 6 years old with the same dress on and the same hair style of pig tails… however Nina didn’t have her glasses so there was a certain thing about them, “Oh you guys are so cute in this picture! I can’t even tell which one is which” said Nami.

Both glared at her, “That’s one of the few pictures that we have our dad with out his army uniform… please don’t bring that up again.” Said both Nina and Mina at the exact same time.

The two glared at each other and said “Stop that! Stop that now!”

The tow glared at each other and realized one thing… now would be the perfect time to mess with someone.

“Want to mess with Usopp?” asked both at the same time.

Both nodded… and got dressed in a creepy identical outfit that resubmit a sailor suit and put on identical hats which they hid their hair in and Nina put her glasses in her pocket so no one could tell the difference.

Rose meowed and looked at Nami.

“I don’t get it either.” Said Nami with a shrug.

Meanwhile Usopp was having a daydream about himself a super pirate when he heard a rather creepy voice… well more like voices.

“Come play with us Usopp…” said the creepy voices.

Usopp turned around and saw Nina and Mina in their creepy identical outfits but didn’t recognize them.

“Ghosts!” he yelled out.

Both Nina and Mina broke out laughing.

“I can’t believe worked!” laughed Nina taking off the hat and putting her glasses back on.

“Especially in a world where The Shining doesn’t exist.” Laughed Mina while taking off her hat.

“That wasn’t funny!” yelled Usopp.

“All right it’s done!” yelled Luffy.

They went to see what it was it was Luffy who made a new pirate flag that featured a skull and crossbones that wore a straw hat… it was also a poor excuse for a flag and looked like a 5 year old drew it.

“How does it look?” asked Luffy with a big smile.

“Uh…” said Nina.

“Well a Pirate Flag is supposed to be scary… and that is scary.” Said Zoro.

“As your friend and first person to join your crew I’ll be frank, Luff’ it sucks big time!” said Mina shaking her head.

Rose used her ear to cover her eyes.

“Well I guess I’m going to have to do it.” Said Usopp who drew his own Jolly Roger… one of a skull that looked like him with a sling shot.

“That’s not our flag!” said Luffy and Mina whacking him on the head.

And so Usopp made version of the crappy one that Luffy made.

“It’s a lot better.” Said Mina, “That’s a pretty good Jolly Roger…”

“So you know a lot about them, were your parents priates?” asked Usopp.

“Actually me and Mina come from another world… she made a one way interdimensional transporter… it explains all the wields things we brought here, like the IPod she used during the fight.” Explained Nina.

“I see…” said Usopp, “Then how do you know so much about pirates?”

“Well my best friend back home was part of a religion that saw pirates as absolute divine beings.” Said Mina, “Since I hung out with her a lot I know quite a few about pirates…”

“That an another firmed of ours had a secret love of cheesy romance novels…” said Nina.

“I see…” said Usopp with a sweat drop.

"All right! Let’s paint the sail!” cheered Luffy.

And so they painted the sail… after wards almost everyone was tired, expect for Luffy and Mina. Mina changed her clothes out of her creepy twin outfit and got onto the deck noticing that everyone else was laying out on the deck tired.

“How can you not be tired?” asked Nami.

“That’s just the way I am!” said Mina giving the V is victory sign.

That’s when they all heard Luffy shooting the canon, Usopp got up and he and Mina went to see what Luffy was doing.

“Hey!” said Mina, “What are you doing?”

“Just shooting the canon” said Luffy pointing to a big rock, “I’m trying to hit it, but it won’t hit… I think it’s broken.”

“Let me try!” said Mina who looked at the canon and changed where it was aimed… she fired… and she missed, “I’m good at aiming…” she sighed.

“It’s my turn!” said Usopp.

Usopp aimed it once again and hit the rock…

“You hit!” cheered both Luffy and Mina.

“I did!” said Usopp, “You can just call me captain.”

“Nope… I’ll call you our sharpshooter. Said Luffy.

Not too long later there was a very important meeting.

“So now we have our sharpshooter.” Said Nami, “We just need one important position.”

“That’s right a musician.” Said Luffy.

“A musician!” yelled everyone.

“Pirates sing don’t they?” asked Luffy.

“She’s talking about a cook you dolt.” Said Nina.

“What about you two cook?” he asked looking at Nina and Mina since neither one had an official position.

“Sorry to say neither one knows how to cook very well…” said Mina, “Sure I can cook Vengeance muffins very well… but they aren’t meant for human consumption… unless it’s instant something, microwave cooking or take out then don’t bother us with cooking.”

“Our mom was always busy… she never had time to teach us how to cook.” Said Nina.

That’s when there was a thump on the deck.

“Come on out you pirates! How dare you do that to my brother!” yelled a voice.

Luffy went outside and fight broke out between him and some man with black hair wearing sunglasses. Nami, Usopp, Nina, Mina and Rose watched though the windows… Zoro seemed to have fallen asleep.

“What’s going on?” he asked.

“Luffy got into a fight with some guy.” Said Mina.

Zoro decided to see if Luffy needed some help and got an extremely big surprise… and it was something that would help the crew big time.

Next Time: Thanks to some old Bounty Hunter buddies of Zoro the crew is on the ways to ocean going restraint where they can find a chef... great... Luffy just destroyed part of it... what will happen? Find out next time!
