A Jolly Meeting and a Chaotic Battle: The Two Crews vs the Immortal Foe!

Somewhere in the New World, on a Rather Mountainous Island
Over at the harbor, there layed a large number of different ships docked quietly in peace.

???: FINALLY! A chance to relax!

However, all but two ships were there.

???: Yeah, I know what you mean there. It's been one crazy thing after another on this stretch of sea.

''The two ships were located at different spots. And one of them bore a familiar looking figurehead. Make that, two figureheads to be precise.''

???: Aw, c'mon! It hasn't been THAT bad!

''Inside a local bar found in a sleepy little town, a group of people had made their way inside for a quick drink and a little rest. It had been a good day today, seeing as they were fortunate enough to have such a chance to enjoy a peaceful moment like this. However, it wouldn't stay like this for long...''

???: Says you, you dolt! Do you even REMEMBER everything we've gone through so far in the New World? No wonder most people call the first half of the Grand Line, "Paradise!"

???: Yeah, but ya gotta admit, Glory! We've had a lot of fun lately! And we met a lot of really interesting people!

Glory: AND HALF OF THOSE "INTERESTING PEOPLE" WANTED TO EITHER KILL US, ARREST US, OR BOTH!

???: Now now you two, there's no call for fighting. Now's a time for tranquility and rest.

???: Sakura's got a point, you guys. And besides... It should be noted that if it weren't for the New World, we never would have met and befriended Shinku here.

Glory: Good point, Spike!

???: Oi, wasn't she complaining about the New World just a second ago?

''One of those ships, with the two mermaid figureheads, belonged to one of the many notorious pirate crews traveling along the New World as they continued to make a name for themselves. It was unmistakeably The Jolly MK II, the main pirate ship of The Jolly Pirates. For now, The Jolly Pirates were simply enjoying their time together, having just narrowly ended a brief arguement between their navigator/martial artist and their captain/entertainer, thanks to the sound requests for ending said arguement by their swordsman and first mate. Needless to say, it was business as usual. All they needed to do here was wait for the Log Pose to reset so that they could continue on their way to Raftel. Till then, the crew bided their time with drinking and chatting.''

Shinku: I can't tell you guys how thankful I am for letting me join your crew! I never thought being a pirate would be so much fun!

Karen: Um, Shinku... Could you not call us pirates in public? I think it could cause some problems if the people here knew we were pirates.

Wyatt[sighing]: I'd expect nothing less from our most clumsy and danger prone member.

Shinku[moaning]: Oi, i'm not THAT unlucky, Wyatt...

Chris: Speaking of new crew members, you think we could get a few more?

''Chris grinned sheepishly as he began to imagine having a large pirate crew filled to the brim with strange yet amazing individuals. His crew sighed in disbelief, not knowing what could posses their captain to want such a large crew, given their limit of supplies at the moment. Sure, The Jolly Pirates were now sailing on a galleon, but to have to sustain the needs of such a large number of people would be difficult. Regardless of this, Chris continued to grow more excited with his suggestion. His crewmates on the other hand simply chalked this up to Chris keeping true to his childish personality.''

Aphro[Female Form]: Honestly, you'd think by now that thirteen people, including himself, would be enough to satisfy him. [sighs] No matter how much time passes, i'll never understand that kid...

Wyatt: Ya gotta admit though... Hehehe... It'd be totally awesome to have a huge pirate crew, like those big shot pirate crews! Noone would dare want to mess with us! We'd be as amazing as that Whitebeard guy! Or even The Skyline Pirates! Could you imagine that?!

Timber and Chris: HELL YEAH!! WE'D BE BADASSES!!

''Chris and Timber slung their arms over one another with their eyes closed and grinning foolishly. The two, alongside Wyatt, were off in their own little world, imagining how amazing their fictitous future crew would be. In time, Wyatt joined in by slinging his arm over Timber, putting the shipwright in the middle. The three then began to chant in unison.''

Chris, Timber, and Wyatt: BAD-ASSES! BAD-ASSES! BAD-ASSES!

Glory: KNOCK THAT OFF, YOU IMBECILES!

''Glory, in an attempt to control her crewmates' foolish behavior, grabbed her snake, Akatsuki, and took a swing at all three of the offenders. Hitting them once each on the head with the tail end of her weapon-like snake. Akatsuki's motions were similiar to that of a whip, as it lashed out at each crewmate before coiling around Glory's torso to rest again. It went without saying that the blows hurt, causing Chris, Wyatt, and Timber to hold their heads in pain.''

Chris: OWWW...! That was mean, Glory!!

Wyatt: It's to be expected though. We should've seen that one coming.

Timber: Definately!

''Glory closed eyes in disgust as she took a sip of her drink. She was clearly feeling embarassed by the actions of her crewmates.''

Glory: Freaking dimwits... Can't they just act their own age?
