Adventure Guys

*As Luffy, Morbius, Usopp and Karoo face off against the Baroque Works agents, Zoro holds one of his swords up in the air.*
Nami: Zoro, why are you standing like that?
Zoro: If I’m gonna be a statue, I prefer this pose.
Vivi: This is no time to be playing around!
Zoro: Who said anything about playing?
Nami: Do you think you could at least do something about all this blood? I’m getting nauseous looking at it. Seeing Morbius drink it is all I can take.
Zoro: So quit looking at it, then.
Nami: It’s kind of hard to ignore… Do you still think it was a bright idea to cut your own legs off so that we could escape from here?
Zoro: That wasn’t the point. I was going to cut them off so that we could fight.
Nami: Oh, was that the plan? Cause that’s an even worse idea!
Zoro: Whatever…
Nami: Seriously, sometimes I think you were born without any common sense at all.
Vivi: We’re stuck here about to be turned into wax statues, and the two of them are bickering! They really don’t seem to understand the danger of the situation at all.
Brogy: Hey, Sword guy. Is that all the fight you got left in ya?
Zoro: Yeah, I think I’m gonna have to let someone else take over from here.
Brogy: Heh! Alright.
*Miss Goldenweek sits on the ground, having tea and biscuits and observing Zoro, Nami, Vivi and Brogy being slowly covered in wax.*
Marianne: They don’t seem terribly worried about what's going to happen to them, Mr. 3.
Galdino: And you don’t seem terribly worried about making sure it happens, Miss Goldenweek! Solidify already.
Zoro: If you wanna die in a cool pose, Nami, you’d better hurry up.
Nami: I've got other things to worry about.
Vivi: Mister Bushido, could you please take this a little more seriously?
Zoro: Hey, your pose could use a little work, too.
Nami: Shut up about the posing already!
Galdino: They're acting so careless like this for no other reason than to mock us! This is very annoying! They’ve been acting this way ever since he showed up… Of course!
Luffy: Alright!
Galdino: Though he doesn’t seem to be a very reliable man, if you ask me.
Gem: Mr. 3. We’ll be happy to take care of the Straw Hat pest.
Galdino: Take care of him? Please, don’t be ridiculous. I sent you to take care of him once already, and look! He’s standing in front of us alive and well, interfering with my artistic process. I think it’s clear you can’t handle him. He’s obviously too much for you, wouldn’t you agree?
Gem: Ggrrrr…
Galdino: You two can deal with the others. If you think you’re up to it, that is. I’ll take care of him. I think a Straw Hat Luffy statue would make an excellent addition to my collection. Hahahahahaha!
*Usopp sits on Karoo’s back.*
Usopp: I think I’ve had way more than enough of you. And if you cretins know what’s good for ya, you’ll give up now.
Karoo: Quack!
Morbius: Otherwise you’ll face our wrath! Gggrrr…
Galdino: Is that right?
*Mr. 3 begins to conjure wax from his arm.*
Usopp: Let’s go!
Karoo: Quack!
*But they quickly hide behind some bushes in the tree line.*
Usopp: Ok, we’re safely in position now. We’ve got your backs from here, guys!
Karoo: Quack.
Morbius: Cowards!
Luffy: Hm? Did you say something?
Galdino: Now I’ve got you! Candle lock!
*Mr. 3 throws some wax at Luffy's feet that locks them in a candle shaped restraint.*
Morbius: Oh, shit!
Usopp: What is he doing?!
Karoo: Quack!
Vivi: Luffy!
Zoro: Damn! He got caught already?
Nami: Moron!
Luffy: What is this thing? Whatever it is, it’s nice and heavy.
Galdino: Almost too simple. Alright, just once more.
*Mr. 3 begins to conjure more wax.*
Luffy: Oh, yeah! This should be perfect!
Galdino: Candle lock!
Morbius: Watch out!
*Mr. 3 attempts to restrain them both in wax again, but Luffy and Mobius jump out of the way.*
Morbius: If you’re gonna do something Luffy, now’s the time to do it!
Luffy: On it!
*Luffy stretches one of his arms and wraps it around one of the horns on Brogy’s helmet.*
Luffy: Hey, giant guy! Excuse me!
Galdino: Uh, what the? What is this weirdo doing now?
*Luffy then spins around, gaining speed.*
Luffy: Gum gum mallet!
*Luffy hits the pillar of Mr. 3’s wax contraption with his wax restraints, breaking it.*
Nami and Vivi: Alright!
*But the top nearly falls on Zoro, Nami and Vivi. Luffy’s legs are free from the wax.*
Luffy: Hey, the thing on my legs broke at the same time.
*However, the top keeps spinning and raining wax flakes.*
Luffy: But wait. Why are they still there?
Nami: We’re ok now.
Vivi: We didn’t die.
Zoro: We’re still alive but that really didn’t help at all.
Luffy: That was a close one. But why didn’t you guys run away?
Nami and Vivi: Because we’re stuck here! Isn’t that obvious?!
Luffy: Oh, really? So that’s what’s going on?
Morbius: Yes, you idiot! It was pretty freaking obvious that they’ve trapped on that thing!
Luffy: Oh, I didn’t know. All you guys kept saying was I need to break the pillar. So that’s what I did.
Vivi: Mister Bushido! Do you really think it’s a good idea to put our lives in those guys’ hands?!
Morbius: What?
Zoro: Well, we don’t exactly have much of a choice, do we? I don’t know about you, but I’m having a little bit of trouble moving right now.
Vivi: And you don’t seem to be bothered by it, somehow!
Nami: I can’t move. What’s happening? My body… I don’t know… It… It won’t move… I can’t move at all…
Galdino: Hahahahahaha!
Morbius: What’s so funny, you candle haired weesel?
Galdino: You fools! All you did was move the candles closer! And by doing so, you only sped up the solidifying process. You’ll become wax figures even sooner, now! Well done! Hahahahaha
Usopp: Ugh, that guy! I wanna punch him, right in his smith little face!
Karoo: Quack!
Luffy: Wait! You guys are gonna turn into wax figures?!
Nami: That’s what we’ve been trying to tell you!
Vivi: Please hurry up and destroy this thing, Luffy!
Morbius: Hurry before they’re permanent additions to that freak's wax figure collection!
Luffy: Right, yeah, I’m on it!
Galdino: I don’t think so, Straw Hat! Now, get out of my way! Wax wax harpoon!
*Mr. 3 conjures wax from his arm into the shape of a harpoon and throws it at Luffy.*
Usopp: Exploding star!
*Usopp fires an explosive pellet at Mr. 3, but Mr. 5 swallows it and it explodes in his stomach, somehow not injuring him. Luffy barely avoids being hit by the wax harpoon.*
Morbius: Did he just…
Gem: That’s not very flavorful. Your gunpowder must not be too good.
Usopp: There’s no way! He ate it!
Karoo: Quack…!
Morbius: How the hell-
Mitika: Kyahahahahaha! Don’t think you’ve forgotten I’m here! 10,000 kilogram press!
*Miss Valentine increases her body weight and crashes right onto Morbius. She then rejoins Mr. 5.*
Morbius: So heavy…
Zoro: This isn’t looking good for us, ladies. This damn thing is speeding up. Good thing I’ve got my pose ready.
Nami: Moron!
Vivi: Come on, Luffy! You have to hurry!
*Luffy stretches his arms back.*
Luffy: Right! So the pumpkin thing has to go. I’m on it now! Gum gum…
Galdino: It’s no use! Candle wall!
Luffy: Bazooka!
*Luffy tries to double palm strike the top, but Mr. 3 creates a wall made of wax to block his attack.*
Luffy: Hey! Outta my way!
Galdino: I was just thinking the same thing. I would greatly appreciate it if you would quit interfering with my creative activities. Candle lock!
*Mr. 3 tries to throw wax restraints at Luffy and Morbius, but they move out of the way and all he does is cover Luffy’s arm in wax.*
Luffy: Hehehehe! I’ve got a mallet!
Morbius: Now break it!
Luffy: Gum gum…
Galdino: No, you don’t! Candle wall!
Luffy: Mallet!
*Luffy attempts to hit the top with his candle mallet, but Mr. 3 creates a wax wall to block the attack. However, the wax begins to break, allowing Luffy to punch him in the face and send him flying back. Morbius then rushes towards Mr. 3.*
Morbius: Surprise!
*He then slashes Mr. 3 across the chest with his claws as he is launched backwards. Usopp and Karoo celebrate.*
Gem: Mr. 3!
Mikita: No way!
Nami: Luffy! Morbius! Hurry up and break this thing before we die up here!
Luffy: Um, no.
Morbius: Yeah, no.
Nami: Quit joking around and hurry!
Luffy: Nuh huh.
Zoro: Quit being an idiot! Now’s not really a good time! Morbius, talk some sense into him! And do it fast!
Morbius: No.
Vivi: Guys! Please just do it!
Luffy: Not now… I just… don’t feel like saving you.
Morbius: Yeah, me neither.
Nami: Guys, what’s wrong?
Marianne: My colors trap.
Zoro: Hey, Luffy! There’s no time to space out now! Do something about this already!
Luffy: Yeah, I know.
Vivi: Then quit just standing around there, will you?!
Nami: Come on, Luffy!
*Both Luffy and Morbius are in black symbols that are painted on the ground.*
Luffy: I know what I should do. But… I don’t feel like it…
Morbius: Yeah, I’m not in the mood to help you guys, either… *yawn*
Nami: Damn it! Why do you guys keep saying that?! We’re about to be turned into wad statues! Do you understand me?! We’re going to die!
Luffy: Yeah. But for some reason, I can’t get motivated to help.
Zoro, Nami and Vivi: What do you mean, “can’t get motivated”?!
Usopp: What’s going on here? What is wrong with them? Our friends are gonna die if they don’t do something to help them soon. I’ll snap them out of it. Let’s go, Karoo.
Karoo: Quack!
*But they’re confronted by Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine.*
Usopp: Aaaaaahhhh! Where did you two come from?!
Gem: Just give up. Your friends have already fallen into a nasty trap.
Mikita: That’s right. Haven’t you noticed what they’re standing on?
Usopp: Standing? Let me take a look.
*Usopp sees the black symbols that Luffy and Morbius are standing on.*
Usopp: What’s that? There’s strange black patterns on the ground. I don’t get it, what’s so important about those things?
Mikita: Yeah, you’re right. You really don’t get it at all, do you? Kyahahahaha!
Usopp: What’s so funny?
Gem: Paint. That’s what’s funny. It’s just paint. You and your friends don’t stand a chance of escaping now.
*Mr. 5 attempts to kick Usopp in the face and set off an explosion, but Usopp moves out of the way and hits a tree instead. The explosion causes both Usopp and Karoo to be launched backwards into the jungle.*
Usopp: Karoo, let’s make a run for it!
Mikita: Oh, great, now they’re running away.
Gem: Let’s ‘em.
*They chase after Usopp and Karoo.*

Usopp: Full speed ahead, Karoo!
Karoo: Quack!
*Karoo runs as fast as he can, but Usopp isn’t riding him.*
Usopp: Hey, wait! I’m not on yet! Slow down, Karoo! Let me on! Hey, bird! You hear me?! Let me on!
Karoo: Quack!
Usopp: Just let me on, now!
*Usopp tries to keep up with Karoo.*
Usopp: Why are you afraid of me?! I thought you were a duck, not a chicken! Slow down, will you?! Please, Karoo!

*Back with the others, Vivi notices Miss Goldenweek standing behind Luffy and Morbius.*
Vivi: Miss Goldenweek’s responsible! I know that this is your doing!
Marianne: It’s my colors trap. Betrayal black. If you touch the paint you’ll want to betray your friends, no matter what they might say. Even if they beg and plead for help.
Nami: What’s she talking about? I don’t understand what’s going on here.
Vivi: She’s a painter. She uses her paint to create different emotions. Each color is a feeling. Her sense of color is so complete, she can manipulate your mind. Just a splash of one of her colors, and you’ll be under her control!
Zoro: Under her control?! Well, that’s not good. That simpleminded oaf is already too easy to control. And Morbius may be smart, but he too can be a dumbass. The last thing we need is someone messing with their minds.
Nami: Does that mean all they need to do is get away and they’ll be ok? Luffy! Morbius! Move away from there, quickly!
Vivi: No, don’t! Luffy, Morbius, listen! Whatever you guys do, please don’t stand outside the black circle alright? I’m begging!
Nami: What are you saying?!
Vivi: We don’t want you to save us, Luffy. You hear that, Morbius? Please stay away from us!
Luffy: No way.
Morbius: Yeah, we’re not doing that.
*They both step away from the circle.*
Zoro: I get it now. We just need to say the exact opposite of what we wanted them to do.
*They both snap out of their trance.*
Luffy: Oh, hey! What… What just happened? I was acting really strange.
Morbius: Yeah, me too. What was that all about? Ugh, there's a metal taste in my mouth…
Vivi: Luffy! Morbius! Help us now!
Luffy: Ok! I’m on my way right now!
Morbius: Just hold on tight!
*But Miss Goldenweek paints yellow symbols on their backs.*
Luffy: Hahahahahahaha! Never mind! I just wanna laugh right now! Hahahahahaha!
Morbius: Hahahahahahaha! Me too! Hahahahahaha!
Nami: Luffy! Morbius!
Zoro: Morons!
Vivi: What now?!
*Luffy and Morbius laugh uncontrollably thanks to the symbols Miss Goldenweek painted on them.*
Marianne: Colors trap again. Laughter yellow. You should not have stepped out of the circle.
Nami: Now it’s on their clothing. Luffy! Morbius! Quick! Take off your shirt and coat!
Luffy: I’d love to, really. Hahahaha! But right now, I’m too busy laughing! Hahahahaha!
Morbius: I want to as well! Hahahahaha! But I just wanna laugh! Hahahahahaha!
Zoro: It’s getting bad. If the wax keeps falling at this rate, we’ll be lucky to stay alive for five minutes.
*Usopp and Karoo run out of the jungle while being chased by Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine.*
Zoro: Did you guys come out here just to play tag?!
*But they run into Luffy and Morbius as they laugh. They keep running away from Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine while Luffy and Morbius stop laughing.*
Nami: Look! When Usopp ran into Luffy and Morbius, the paint smudged!
Luffy: Jeez! What’s going on? I felt all weird again.
Morbius: It must be her! She’s somehow doing all of this!
Luffy: Hey, painter girl! Would you stop messing with us already?!
Marianne: But you were having such a good time. Wasn’t it funny?
Morbius: NO, You little brat!
Luffy: Well, yeah, it was kinda funny! But stop!
Morbius: Don't downplay it!
Luffy: We’ve gotta see about breaking that pumpkin now. Gum gum-
Marianne: Another colors trap! Time for bullfight red!
*Miss Goldenweek paints a red symbol on the ground.*
Luffy: Bazooka!
*Luffy double palm strikes the symbol on the ground while Morbius slashes it.*
Zoro: What were you aiming at?!
Marianne: I just can’t let you break it. Mr. 3 wouldn’t be happy about that at all.
Morbius: This little girl is starting to get on my nerves!
Luffy: What’d you do?!
Marianne: During a bullfight, a bull can’t can’t control his urge to attack the red cape. Likewise, you guys can’t do anything now but attack that red circle. That’s what I did.
Luffy: Aaaaaahhhh! Ok, that does it! I’m mad now!
Morbius: Me too!
Luffy: Gum gum bazooka!
*They both attack the red symbol again.*
Morbius: TAKE THAT FRICKING RED CRACKER.
Nami: Aw… Oh, great… At this rate, they’re never gonna be able to beat her. Now all of their strength and intelligence is useless.
Marianne: Now to finish up. We’ll mix the laughter yellow on your backs with some sadness blue! The last colors trap: tranquil green.
*Miss Goldenweek paints green symbols on their backs, making them sit down and have tea with her.*
Luffy: Ah… That’s some good tea!
Morbius: And Earl Grey sure does the trick.
Zoro, Nami and Vivi: Luffy! Morbius!
Nami: So, what happens now?
Zoro: See, I told you, you should have posed, but you wouldn’t listen to me. And now it’s too late. You’re gonna die like that.
Vivi: Are you really still talking about that?

*With Usopp, he has managed to get into Karoo’s back and rides as the duck runs away from Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine.*
Gem: Damn! How can they just keep running like that? Nose fancy double cannon!
*Mr. 5 flicks two boogers at Usopp and Karoo that explode. But they both manage to avoid getting hit.*
Usopp: Hahaha! You missed us, jerk! Way to go, Karoo!
Karoo: Quack!
Usopp: My turn now! Special attack: lead star!
*Usopp shoots a lead pellet at Mr. 5, but he moves his head and it misses.*
Usopp: We need to get back to Luffy and the others now!
Karoo: Quack!
Gem: Chasing them around isn’t getting us anywhere.
*Mr. 5 pulls out a revolver from his coat.*
Gem: I hate to use this in useless pests like them, but it looks like we may not have a choice now. This little beauty should be quite handy. A .44 caliber, six shot revolver. It’s a new model out of the South Blue. Continuous fire. And when I shoot it, the bullets are invisible.

Usopp: When Luffy and Morbius were acting so strange back there, those two agents mentioned something about paint. The paint must have something to do with their behavior! There was also some yellow paint on their backs when we crashed into them earlier. That’s got to be the key! We just have to do something about the paint before it’s too late! Hurry!
Karoo: Quack!
*But when they return, they find that Zoro, Nami, Vivi and Brogy are covered head to toe in wax that has solidified on their bodies. While Luffy and Morbius continue to drink tea with Miss Goldenweek.*
Luffy: This is really is some nice tea. Really nice!
Morbius: You said it.
Usopp: Luffy! Morbius! Hey! Wake up!
*They both try to fight the urge to drink tea but can’t.*
Luffy: It’s nice tea… So nice… Very nice.
Morbius: So good… Best tea ever…
Usopp: Why are you just drinking tea?!
