New Rivalries and Ancient Zoans. Oringo vs. Spike!

 Out on the Grand Line, on a Jungle Island 

''On a certain Summer Island out on the Grand Line, something big was about to happen. It all started when two certain pirate crews showed up on the same day, not knowing what would happen between the two. One crew had a mermaid figurehead, whilst the other had an orca figurehead. Yes indeed, it was a matter of time until both The Kaze Pirates and The Jolly Pirates met one another. As for The Jolly Pirates, they had just arrived after waging a large battle against another pirate crew: The Four Legged Pirates. As a result, they had gained two new crew members after the fight. They were "The Witch," Peabody Rune, and her little sister, Peabody "Cuddly" Karen. After such a battle, the crew decided to take a rest on the next island they came across, in order to heal up, regain more supplies for their next journey, and to get more familiar with their new crewmates. Against some of the wishes from their fellow crewmates, The Jolly Pirates ended up taking a rest at a local bar, in order to grab a bite and a drink.''

Glory[sighing]: Honestly you guys... A bar? Couldn't we go somewhere better to eat?

Sakura: Well, this island is rather small. I doubt there'd be any restaurants or the like here.

Chris[grinning]: Yeah, and plus, a bar is where pirates are SUPPOSED to go, Glory! It's where all the fun is!

Wyatt: Exactly! Pirates go to bars! It's an unwritten rule!

Glory: Wait, are you two serious? We're supposed to be here?

Spike: Not really. There's no "unwritten rule" when it comes to pirates and bars.

Chris: SPIKE, YOU BIG MOUTH!

Wyatt: YEAH! DON'T SPEAK SUCH MUTINY!

''After that last outburst, Glory gave Chris and Wyatt her "Death Stare," meaning that she wanted them to shut up now, lest they feel the wrath of a Kuja in love. Chris and Wyatt got the message and went quiet after that.''

Timber[snickering]: Hehe, Chris and Wyatt may have an advantage over Glory in some skills, but even they know how ultra scary Glory can be when she's mad.

Glory: What was that you just said, Timber?

''Glory then gave Timber her Death Stare. Timber averted his gaze and began to sweat.''

Timber: N-Nothing Glory...

''Rune and Karen simply observed the group's dynamics at work, amazed to see just what their new crewmates were like. They couldn't imagine that such a strange crew, that would bicker with one another, or act in such a foolish way even existed. Nontheless, they were still grateful towards The Jolly Pirates for defeating Pan the Centaur and allowing the two sisters to finally have the freedom to choose what they wanted to do with their lives. Rune continued to observe in silence, however, her sister had something to say.''

Karen: WOW! These guys are really crazy!

Glory: Well, not all of us act as childishly as Chris and Wyatt do. Sure, most of these guys are baka, but there are still some sane people in this crew as well, like Sakura and myself. And then...

''Glory began to blush as her eyes sparkled. She gave a slight glance towards Spike's direction as he sipped a drink from his glass obliviously.''

Glory: Then there's my beloved Spike... The pinnacle of manliness.

Karen: Hehehe, Glory loves Spike!

Glory's face went completely red after that.

Glory[embarassed]: W-W-Well I d-don't know about love, Karen! Heh... Hehe... B-B-But if you say so!

Glory held her face with her hands and continued to swoon over Spike.

Aphro: I know how you feel Ms. Glory! You are quite the achievement in female sexiness as well!

''And just like that, Glory snapped out of her love-struck mood and went straight into annoyance. She immediately went to punching Aphro in the face with just enough force to cause some injury.''

Glory: See what I mean, Karen? APHRO, YOU DUMBASS!

Aphro: My my, Ms. Glory has the loveliest strength in the world! I think i'm in love!!

Wyatt: Aphro, you're a hopeless baka...

Lawrence, the "pet" of the crew, simply nodded his head in agreement to Wyatt's statement and sighed.' Rune then began to chuckle at the sight happening before her.

Rune: Amazing! To think you could all fight with such ferocity and nobility, yet remain as carefree and silly as you are! It seems i'll have quite the interesting journey alongside you Jolly Pirates. Especially you, Jolly D. Chris...

''Rune gave a curious, yet delighted stare at Chris. Chris however, looked back with cluelessness.''

Chris: Hm? What'd I do?

''Karen giggled in response to Chris' absent-minded statement. Wyatt however, was about to shoot his mouth off again.''

Wyatt[sarcastic]: Great, looks like we've got another Glory and Spike thing going on.

''This time however, it was Chris who struck Wyatt over the head. He had turned his left hand into a mallet in order to do so.''

Wyatt: OW! What's up with you, Chris?! Are you going Glory on me?!

Chris: DUMBASS! DON'T GO AND SAY STUPID STUFF LIKE THAT AGAIN!

Wyatt: What're you on about?

Chris: I MEAN...! [sighs] Look, just don't say that again, OK Wyatt?! There is no way i'll ever think that way about my crewmates! I'm not a hopeless pervert like Aphro is!

''Chris' hand returned to normal after that. Soon, Aphro punched Chris on top of the head.''

Aphro: WHAT WAS THAT, YOU CHILDISH FOOL?! I SHOULD HAVE YOU KNOW THAT I AM A LADIES' OKAMA, NOT A PERVERT!!!

Sakura: Everyone, please settle down. There's no need to get worked up.

As Sakura took a drink from her glass, as Rune and Karen got a good laugh from the others' expense, and as The Jolly Pirates were horsing around as usual, somewhere else, The Kaze Pirates were talking amongst themselves as well.
