Adventure Guys

*The Straw Hats begin sailing away from Drum Island and watch the “cherry blossoms” fall through the air.*
Vivi: It’s beautiful.
Nami: Yeah.
Zoro: Like a bunch of cherry blossoms.
Chopper:…
Usopp: Hey, do you think Chopper’s ok? He’s looking a little down.
Nami: He’ll be fine. Let’s just leave him alone for right now.
Sanji: It’s an emotional time. He’s going on his first journey as a man. It’s a rite of passage.
Vivi: And he’s about to leave Drum Island behind for good. It’s been his home his entire life.
Usopp: Yeah.
Chopper: I’m leaving then, both Doctor and Doctorine. My adventure is finally starting right now, on this ship.
*The guys celebrate Chopper joining the crew. With Luffy making silly faces.*
Usopp: Come on, Chopper! Snap out of it! You can’t just sit there in a daze all night long, you know. You wanna drink?
Sanji: Come sing a song with us.
Morbius: Come on, don’t be shy.
Luffy: Here! Shove these chopsticks up your nose. Go on.
*Chopper sneaks away as the guys continue goofing off.*
Nami: They’re a handful. I hate to tell you, but your new friends are about as crazy as they come.
Chopper: My… friends?
Nami: That's right. These guys can really be a lot to handle, but now that you’re one of us, you’re gonna have to get used to it.
*Vivi holds onto a freezing Karoo, who swam in the freezing cold water earlier.*
Vivi: Karoo! What in the world were you doing frozen in the river like that?!
Karoo: Quack…
Zoro: That bird! Ten bucks says he slipped and fell into the river. He’s a clumsy one.
Vivi: Be quiet, Mr. Bushido.
Morbius: He’ll be fine. We just need to get him warmed up is all.
Karoo: Quack…
Morbius: Birds are warm blooded after all…
Chopper: Uh huh, yeah. He said that the guy named Zoro was swimming in the river and disappeared. He thought Zoro was in trouble, so he jumped into the river to help and ended up getting frozen in it.
Nami: So this is all your fault!
*Nami hits Zoro over the head.*
Zoro: Ow…
Vivi: So you were really able to understand everything Karoo was saying?
Chopper: Yes. I’m still technically half animal by nature, so I can understand what they say.
Vivi: You can talk to animals?
Nami: Oh, wow, Chopper! Between your medical skills and talking to animals, you’ve got some amazing talents.
Chopper: Don’t be silly, you jerk! Flattering me like yet isn’t gonna make me happy or anything!
*But despite what he says, he looks happy.*
Luffy and Usopp: He sure looks happy.
Zoro: Hey, what did you mean about Chopper’s “medical skills” anyway?
Nami: Well, Chopper here is a doctor, and a first rate one at that. Dr. Kureha taught him everything there is to know about medicine.
Luffy, Zoro, Usopp and Sanji: Huh?
Zoro: Impossible. Chopper, are you seriously a doctor?
Luffy: How cool!
Usopp: No way!
Morbius: It's true, he was the one mostly helping us out when Nami was sick.
Nami: Really, Luffy, if you didn’t know that, what did you think Chopper was when you asked him to join us?
Luffy: A talking, transforming reindeer monster.
Sanji: Emergency rations.
Chopper: Wait, oh no!
Morbius: What’s the matter?
Chopper: I was in such a big hurry I left my medical bag behind! It had all my tools in it!
Nami: Your bag? But isn’t this it?
*Nami holds up Chopper’s medical bag.*
Chopper: That is my bag!
Nami: It was in the back of the sleigh.
Chopper: How is that?
Nami: What do you mean? Weren’t you the one who packed the sleigh and got it ready for the trip.
*Chopper realizes that it was Kureha who was the one who packed it.*
Nami: That’s amazing. Doctorine must have known what you were planning to do even before you had decided to leave the island with us. What a kind woman.
*The guys continue goofing off.*
Nami: Those guys. Can’t they see you’re having a sentimental moment here? I’m sorry, Chopper. Chopper?
*Chopper sticks chopsticks up his nose, just like Luffy told him to.*
Nami: You, too?!
Usopp: Alright, Straw Hat crew! Attention! Listen, all of you!
*But everyone isn’t paying attention and confusing to goof off.*
Chopper: Hey, you know… They’re crazy. But I’ve never had this much fun ever!
Nami: Good!
Usopp: I propose a toast to our new friend, Chopper!
All: Yeah! Chopper!

*Back on Drum Island*
Dalton: I wonder if they’ve made it off the island yet. You know, that reindeer friend of yours is a first rate doctor, with a first rate heart. I’m very glad to have known him.
Kureha: Those cherry blossoms of Hiriluk’s really did lead to something miraculous. But who’d have thought the miracle would be that clumsy reindeer going out to sea with a group of pirates? That kid acting like he’s a grown man all of a sudden.
Dalton: I have a feeling he’ll make a fine ship’s doctor.
Kureha: So what are your plans now that Wapol is gone from this island for good?
Dalton: For a long time I worked as the captain of the guard under Wapol’s tyrannical rule. That’s something that I still need to make amends for. I was thinking about leaving this country, trusting the citizens to make a better land for themselves without me here as a reminder.
Kureha: I see. Is that what you’ve decided to do?
Dalton: No. I realize that leaving here isn’t the way to make up for past mistakes. This country is rid of its corrupt monarchy. It’s citizens are preparing to build a new country that’s all their own. And I think if I stayed here, I could help find a way to help them build it into the country that it’s meant to be. Maybe that’ll help by washing away some of the guilt that I’ve carried around with me for so long.
Kureha: Well, seems to me that you certainly do possess the strength of heart to take care of this country.
Dalton: Strength of heart is needed to look after a country. And it can be difficult to come by, but I once saw it from a girl who was no more than ten years old at the time.

*Flashack, ten years ago, all the world leaders gathered at a large castle for a world summit meeting.*
Wapol: The world summit again. What a useless event this is. I’m tired of coming to this thing.
Kurimarimo: You’re absolutely right, sir.
Dalton: *I wonder how much longer Drum Kingdom can continue like this. The rift between the monarchy and the citizens keeps growing.*
*One of the kings of the countries that make up the world government passes by him.*
Guard 1: Look! It’s the king of Alabasta!
Guard 2: Nefertari Cobra!
Dalton: A king who is known throughout the world for his benevolence and wisdom.

*The world leaders gather in a large room to discuss important matters.*
King 1: The revolutionist, Dragon, this man’s beliefs are very dangerous. As world leaders, we should be aware of the threat he poses to our countries. In as little as five or six years, he will likely become a prominent enemy opposed to our interests.
Wapol: Well, I don’t know about the rest of your dumb countries, but mine’s governed too well for my citizens to be led astray by some revolutionist. Go ahead and capture him if you want, but leave me out, it’s ridiculous.
Nefertari Cobra: Fool! You are a selfish fool! Why do you think we’ve get here all here at the world summit?! Just act responsible for once!
Wapol: No one talks to me like that!

*Later*
Wapol: Well, that summit was as unenjoyable as all the rest of them. Huh? That girl!
*She sees a blue haired little girl.*
Wapol: She’s that idiot Cobra’s daughter.
*He approaches her and slaps the girl.*
Wapol: Oh, no! My hand must have slipped!
Dalton: What’re you doing?!
Wapol: Sorry! Mahahaha!
Igaram: Princess Vivi!
Wapol: Oh, excuse me. If I’m not mistaken, you’re the princess of Alabasta Kingdom. Wow! It must suck to have such a pathetic father!
Igaram: Damn it! What do you think you’re doing?!
Vivi: No, stop, Igaram. I’m fine. My apologies. I didn’t look where I was going, sir.
Dalton: That is quite a child. At a world summit like this where all of the most powerful leaders are gathered, tensions tend to run high. The slightest argument can trigger an all out war. Knowing that, she refused to make a scene. She’s so young to be so wise.
Wapol: What an annoying little brat! Let’s go, Dalton.
Dalton: Forgive us.

*Igaram comforts Vivi, who’s crying over the pain of being slapped by Wapol.*
Vivi: It hurts!
Igaram: You make me so proud today, Princess Vivi.
*Dalton overhears them.*

*Flashback end*
Dalton: That princess had great strength of heart indeed. And that hasn’t changed. She’s remained strong all these years. She would make anyone proud.
*The 20 MDs gather around Dalton and Kureha.*
Doctor 1: Dalton, please.
Doctor 2: The desire to care for our country hasn’t faded from within us either.
Doctor 3: Allow us to do something. We want to help build a new country.
*Dalton is glad to hear the 20 MDs who served Wapol now wish to help rebuild their home.*
Dalton: *Hiriluk. This country will be reborn as you always wished it to be. Just like your son, Chopper.*
Villager 1: Dalton! You need to hear this! I just remembered something important that I forgot to tell you.
Dalton: What is it?
Villager 1: Take a look at this.
*He hands Dalton Luffy’s wanted poster.*
Villager 2: That’s him! That’s the Straw Hat pirate who defeated Wapol. We’re sure of it!
Dalton: You mean he has a 30 million dollar bounty on his head? Are you certain?
Kureha: Goodness. They’re quite a band of rogues aren’t they.
Dalton: Where’d you find this?
Villager 1: Uh, well, I completely forgot to report this to you, Dalton. I’m very sorry. I guess it all happened a week ago. A man who seemed to be a random traveler showed up one day over in Robelle Town. Strangely, it was a day without any snowfall.
Villager 2: We have no idea where on the island he landed.
Villager 1: Anyway, he told us something. The man said he was hunting down Blackbeard, the pirate who recently attacked our island with his men.
Villager 2: And then, once he realized that Blackbeard had already left, he said…

*Flashback*
???: In that case, I have one more question. Has a pirate wearing a straw hat come through this area recently?

*Flashback end*
Villager: We didn’t know so he showed us the wanted poster and said…

*Flashback*
???: Well, if the guy I described does show up…
Villager 2: If he does?
???: I will wait for him in Alabasta for ten days by the end of the year and no more. Don’t forget.
Villager 1: Hey! Hold on a sec! You didn't tell us your name!
???: Oh, yes, I forgot about that. The name’s Ace, gentlemen. If you tell the Straw Hat pirate, then he’ll know who I am.
Villager 3: Hey! Catch that guy! He ate and didn’t pay his tab at the restaurant!
???: Just give him the message, thanks!
*The man leaves in a hurry.*

*Flashback end*
Dalton: So he’ll be waiting in Alabasta for ten days before the end of the year.
*Kureha looks at Luffy’s wanted poster.*
Dalton: Excuse me, Doctor, but is there something wrong? You look puzzled.
Kureha: Tell me something, Dalton. Have you ever heard of the man Gol D. Roger?
Dalton: Gol D.? You mean Gold Roger?
Kureha: I guess. Is that what he goes by now? From the looks of this the guy Chopper left this island and headed out to sea with us no ordinary pirate. The will of D… It still lives. Whaddya know.

*The Going Merry sails through the sea after leaving Drum Island. The weather is nice and warm outside. Chopper is amazed by how vast the ocean is.*
Chopper: This is amazing, Luffy! The sea seems to go on forever!
Luffy: Yeah, it’s huge! And pirates are the ones who get to have great adventures on it all the time.
Chopper: Incredible. Being a pirate must be really great!
*A large shadow covers the entire ship. They look up and see a giant bird flying over them,*
Chopper: Whoa! What is that thing?
Luffy: It’s a seagull.
Nami: No way. There aren’t any seagulls that are that big.
Morbius: Yeah. But given how a talking reindeer is now a member of our crew, and the entire year we had… I believe it.
Luffy: Hey! Seagull!
*It flies down straight towards them.*
Nami: It’s coming!
Luffy: See, I was right! It is a seagull!
Nami: That's not really the point right now! It’s coming at us because you called it!
Chopper: Oh, yay! Adventure!
*The bird then swoops up, nearly hitting the ship. But they see that Luffy is missing.*
Nami: Hey, where’d Luffy go?
Luffy: Yahoo!
*They see Luffy’s in the bird’s beak.*
Nami: You moron! You’re about to become that bird’s dinner!
Morbius: Not again!
Nami: You mean this isn’t the first time this has happened?!
*Chopper panics and runs to get help from Zoro, Usopp and Sanji, who are playing with cards.*
Chopper: Something horrible has happened, you guys! A bird’s eaten Luffy! This is no time for playing cards! We need to do something! Luffy’s in trouble!
Zoro: Did Luffy ask for help?
Chopper: No.
Zoro: Then there’s no problem. Don’t worry about it.
Chopper: Yeah, but…
Luffy: Gum gum…
*Luffy stretches his arms out while twisting them and then takes hold of the bird. He then untwists them, rapidly spinning the bird and forcing him out of its mouth.*
Luffy:… propeller!
Chopper: Amazing.
*The bird then lands on the Merry, tipping the ship over for a brief moment.*
Luffy: Hey, Sanji! I got some meat for us. Look!
*But they’re laying on the floor.*
Luffy: Why are you guys sleeping?
Zoro, Usopp and Sanji: We’re not, you idiot!
Usopp: You owe me for this, Luffy! I had a really good hand!
Luffy: Oh yeah? Oops. Hahahaha.
Sanji: Woah, that’s huge.
Zoro: Does this mean we can start having some decent meals now?
Usopp: Can we eat it?
Luffy: Hey, Chopper, is something wrong?
Chopper: Well… it’s just that… pirates really… You guys really are… really incredible!
Luffy: Why, yes we are!
Morbius: Guess we’re eating good tonight… it might go goof with some blood and soy sauce.
Nami: Hey, listen up you guys! I know it’s a while before we get to Alabasta, but this is no time to be joking around like a pack of hyenas. Come on.
All: Yes, ma’am.
*They all join Vivi on the front deck.*
Chopper: So what is Alabasta then?
Nami: It’s the country where Vivi’s father rules.
Usopp: Yeah, except there’s this guy named Crocodile who’s trying to take over the country right now.
Morbius: Who I’m guessing isn’t an actual crocodile.
Sanji: And Crocodile’s one of the seven warlords of the sea.
Chopper: Who’re those guys?
Nami: They’re pirates who are given authority by the world government.
Chopper: The government actually supports pirates?
Usopp: Yeah. Pretty weird, huh? And the seven warlords are incredibly powerful. You see, they go around defeating other pirates, one by one. And that’s why the government supports the warlords. The idea is to have the pirates get rid of all the other pirates.
Luffy: I’m really looking forward to meeting this Crocodile guy.
Vivi: Crocodile is considered a hero back home. He helps get rid of the pirates who attack Alabasta. However, his good deeds only appear good on the surface. He is an evil man. In truth, he’s manipulating the citizens of Alabasta to bring about a civil war so he can take over the country. No one has realized what Crocodile’s doing yet. Not the people, not even my father.
Luffy: Right. Well, this should be fun. All we have to do is beat up that Crocodile guy.
Morbius: Yeah. Warlord or not, nobody messes with Vivi’s home.
Vivi: Yes, but in order to do that, we have to avert the civil war in Alabasta and get Baroque Works out of the picture.
Chopper: Baroque Works?
Usopp: Oh, yeah. You don’t know anything about them, either. To be honest, I don’t understand what’s going on with them myself. They have a really complicated system of agents, bosses, and partners.
Vivi: The system is actually pretty simple. First at the top of the organization is the boss, Crocodile. He’s known as Mr. 0. There are a total of 12 agents and one animal who receive orders from the boss directly. For the most part, these twelve male agents operate as part of a pair with a female agent. Mr. 1 is paired with Miss Double Finger. Mr. 2 doesn’t actually have a female partner.
Zoro: Mr. 3 is the candle man we ran into in Little Garden, right?
Vivi: That’s right, and his partner is the painter, miss Golden Week.
Nami: Oh, yeah, that little girl.
Morbius: I remember her. She was a pain in the ass.
Vivi: Mr. 4 is next in line. He’s paired up with Miss Merry Christmas. I don’t know much more than that about those two, though.
Luffy: Then there’s that snot guy.
Usopp: Mr. 5.
Chopper: Snot?
Usopp: Yeah, his snot is explosive.
Vivi: Mr. 5’s entire body can be used as a weapon.
Nami: His partner, Miss Valentine, has the kilo kilo fruit powers.
Zoro: That’s the woman who can change her weight whenever she wants.
Vivi: The agents with codenames from Mr. 1 through Mr. 5 are known as officer agents. They each possess one of the devil fruit powers and are only sent on the most important missions. Agents Mr. 6 through Mr. 13 have the job of fundraising. They make money for the organization by heading up the employees all across the sea. However, one of them blurs the line between them and the officer agents. And those would be Mr. 6 and his partner Miss Mother’s Day. They too deal with fundraising but Mr. 0 sends them on important missions when the other officer agents are unavailable.
Morbius: So what makes them so special?
Vivi: I don’t know. Everything about those two is a mystery. No one’s even seen Mr. 6’s face. And as for Miss Mother’s Day, no one usually lives once they encounter her.
Sanji: Hey, what about that weird monkey and chicken pair I ran into?
Vivi: That’s Mr. 13 and Miss Friday. They’re the agency’s punishment squad. They punish any agent who fails to complete a mission. And there are more. Under the officer agents are the 200 men called “billions.” And there are another 1,800 men under the frontier agents that are known as “millions.” Together they make up the secret crime syndicate Baroque Works.
Usopp: Let’s see, 200 plus 1,800 equals…
Chopper: There are 2,000 of them?!
Usopp: 2,000?!
Luffy: Alright. I think I understand. When are we gonna get to Alabasta so I can beat up Crocodile?
Usopp: Uh, I don’t think you get it at all, Luffy.
Nami: Our trip to Drum Island sent us off course from where the Eternal Pose was guiding us and is making us head for North America. If we’re going to get to Alabasta, we’ll have to cut through the waterways that run throughout the continent. But that will make our trip even longer.
Chopper: Isn’t there some other way to get to Alabasta?
Nami: Unfortunately, no. The ocean current prevents us from going in any other direction than the one we’re currently on. If we’re lucky, we should be able to reach it before the end of the year though.
Vivi: Which means there isn’t too much of a hurry to get there. As long as the conflict between the monarchy and the citizens doesn’t further escalate. But getting to Alabasta isn’t the only concern we have.
Zoro: If Baroque Works’ sole objective is to take over Alabasta, then I can guess what that must mean.
Sanji: The rest of the officer agents, as Vivi called them, and their subordinates, and possibly that Mr. 6 guy are probably…
Nami:… going to be arriving at Alabasta at the same time as we are.
Vivi: Yeah.
Luffy: I see. So, in that case, when we get there we just go beat up Crocodile-
Sanji: That’s enough, Luffy. Just let it go.
Luffy: Ok.

*Meanwhile, on Little Garden, Bentham, also known as Bon Clay and Mr. 2, is beating up one of his subordinates.*
Bon Clay: Un… Deux… Trois…
Pirate: I’m sorry, Mr. 2, Mr. Bon Clay, sir.
Bon Clay: Would you idiots quit playing around?! Damn it! Are you completely clueless? Do you even know who I am? I am Bon Clay, a Baroque Works officer agent. I strike fear into the heart of anyone who sees me. Hey, you, navigator, tell me something.
Pirate; Yes, sir!
Bon Clay: Does that little pea brain of yours remember the boss’ exact orders were?
Pirate: Yes, Mr. 2. The orders were to kill Mr. 3,9& his way along the direct route between Little Garden and Alabasta.
Bon Clay: Ok, then. Maybe you’re not entirely useless, now are you?
*He grabs his subordinate by the neck and pins him to a tree.*
Bon Clay: Taking the direct route means that you travel in a straight line, doesn’t it, navigator? That’s why we went straight from Alabasta to Little Garden. Isn’t that right? But something seems to have gone wrong with the plan now, hasn’t it, navigator? We reached Little Garden without so much as seeing Mr. 3 while on our way here. Now to me that seems to indicate that you fools missed Mr. 3’s ship entirely.
Pirate: No, sir! That can’t be true!
Bon Clay: Hmm. It sort of sounds like you’re questioning my intelligence.
Pirate: Not at all, sir.
Bon Clay: Be quiet, you.
*He lets him go.*
Bon Clay: All we have to do is kill the pathetic Mr. 3. It should be an easy mission and one at which we have no excuse to fail. We must complete the mission. If we don’t, then Mr. 1 and his partner will be sent out to make sure I end up dead. Clear enough for you?! Now if you don’t want to answer me, then you’d better get to work looking for that Mr. 3.

*They leave the island and sail in search of Mr. 3.*
Bon Clay: I want this ship going as fast as it can, you imbeciles! We’re going to check every piece of land between here and Alabasta!
Pirates: Yes, sir, Mr. 2, Mr. Bon Clay, sir!

*Meanwhile at the Crocodile’s headquarters.*
Crocodile: What’s this? Pirates are attacking towns inside the kingdom? Don’t they know this country is protected by Crocodile?
Miss All Sunday: Who can tell what they’re thinking. A country where riots are constantly brewing may be considered an easy target. You’ll go?
Crocodile: Naturally. I do have a public duty to uphold.
Miss All Sunday: How very kind of you, sir.
Crocodile: Yes, I’m a kind man. We warlords are charged with protecting the public from pirate threats. We are heroes to these people, after all.

*The next day, Chopper settles in to his new home and sets up his medical supplies in the spare room.*
Chopper: New home, new office… I never had an office before.
Morbius: Like it?
Chopper: … Yeah. It's small but it'll do.
Morbius: I would've allowed you to set up in the lab, but it's a little dangerous right now.
Chopper: There's a lab on this ship?
Morbius: Yeah. Mine. I'm a biochemist.
Chopper: I know. I read a lot about you. You were a famous doctor who discovered chimera cells and cured pancreatic cancer from it.
Morbius: Yup.
Chopper: That's amazing! You're really smart… so then why did you turn down the noble prize?
Morbius: … well, I couldn't accept a prize for the byproduct of a failed experiment. Chimera cells were meant to cure my blood disease. And even though it was a success in many other areas… it didn't cure me.
Chopper: But still, it's a fascinating discovery! The ability for cells to absorb the DNA structure and apply it to a creature can help humans cure diseases that threaten the world on a DNA level! It's like a reverse mutation.
Morbius: Hmm. I guess so… well at least I'm cured now.
Chopper: You said you had a blood disease? What was it?
Morbius: Aplastic Anemia.
Chopper: That's when the body stops producing enough new blood cells.
Morbius: Chimera cells were meant to replace new blood cells. But instead it can only absorb the DNA of animals and apply it to humans. So it wasn't a suitable cure.
Chopper: And how did you cure yourself exactly?
Morbius: I simply used chimera cells to fuse myself with Bat DNA. And to make the effects permanent I used electrotherapy… so I shocked myself with bat DNA and turned into a living vampire.
Chopper: That sounds dangerous!
Morbius: It was. But I survived and now I need to drink blood every six hours or so. Or else I go feral.
Chopper: Woah…
Morbius: In fact my six hours are probably almost up…
*He looks at Chopper menacingly.*
Chopper: W-why are you looking at me like that!?
Morbius: Because… I'm thirsty…
*He's reaching out for something.*
Chopper: Aaahh! Don't eat me!
*And he sees it was pack of blood.*
Chopper: … Oh
*Morbius drinks the blood up.*
Morbius: What did you think I was getting?
Chopper: … Nothing.
Morbius: Hehehe…
*Morbius grins mischievously as Chopper sighs in relief.*
