Ok so hear me out, I think the BNHA fandom is pretty outta control, but THE GOKU STANS??? I saw a tiktok of a guy shooting a goku figure with a nerf gun sayin "Bro goku is strong? He lost to a nerf gun lol". THE COMMENTS WERE FLOODED WITH GOKU STANS FOAMING AT THE MOUTH. I LOVE DRAGON BALL BUT WHAT- EMBARRASSING
Did I delete 2.5K words after realizing I didn't wanna do the rookie marine filler arc? Yes. Yes I did.

I was sprawled out on the lawn. A few days ago, we raided a Marine base because Luffy ruined all the food we had stored on the Sunny. I don't know why we allowed him to go back in the kitchen by himself. Anyway, our group stole food from the base, but we already ate it all. We were once again empty.
"This.... is so ass," I groaned, rolling onto my stomach, sweating in the most uncomfortable way. The sun was baking us and I'm hungry.
"Agreed. We're out of food and we couldn't fish because it'd been storming for days and finally it's clear," Nami muttered weakly beside me. Her fist raised and she called to the guys sitting at the railing of the ship. "Catch some fish somehow before the weather changes! We're all gonna starve to death before we get there!"
"Food...!" Carrot raised her hand too.
"We wanna do so, but Nami... the water is boiling because it's so hot!" Chopper sobbed, slowly reeling his fishing rod in a bit.
"There won't be any fish around like this," Brook commented.
"What should we do...?!" the navigator cried.
Luffy looked right at Chopper. "Emergency food," the deflated, skinny captain murmured.
"Don't look at me!" Chopper panicked.
"Don't touch him..!" I called out, even though I didn't budge an inch physically.
The sound of a string tightening reached my ears. "Luffy! You got a bite!" Pedro pointed out a second later.
I slowly climbed to my feet and went over to the edge, leaning against the side of the ship between Chopper and Luffy so that I could see this mentioned bite. "It's a huge fish!" the doctor beside me shouted. He pointed toward a large shadow in the water connected to Luffy's line.
The entire ship started leaning to the side while my captain started violently reeling in the fish at the end of his fishing rod. With how weak he is right now, I was surprised he was capable of this. The guy literally looked like an old man. A huge fish was then yanked out of the ocean surface due to his efforts. Everyone cheered for the food.
I opened my arms and grabbed hold of the fish before it could smack down uncontrolled onto the deck. Placing it down, we all looked at it.
"Uh... something about this thing doesn't feel right..." I mumbled.
"Yea..." Nami agreed.
"Its color doesn't seem right," Chopper voiced. It was purple and dark green, ya know, the most ominous colors to be on an animal.
"Is it okay to eat?" the navigator questioned.
"It doesn't seem likely..." Brook sighed.
I scratched my cheek, "Maybe we should have expected this. I mean, the water was boiling, no normal fish would be in there."
"What are you saying?! There's no such thing as an inedible fish!" Luffy shouted, taking a step towards it.
"Luffy! Wait a sec! I'll go check real quick!" Chopper said, running off to the boys room.
Unsurprisingly, our captain did not wait a sec. He reached forward and took some of the skin off of the dead fish, eating it just like that. Now I may be hungry, but to eat raw fish skin is not something I'll ever be hungry enough for. At least not while we have the tools to cook it.
"The skin tastes good!" he chirped happily, shoving more in his mouth.
Chopper came skidding across the lawn after running out of the boys room. He looked through Sanji's locker and found a book that said that the skin of this fish was poisonous, but only the skin, so we weren't complete goners. Except for maybe Luffy, who seemed to be fine for now. Nami went and started cooking the fish using Sanji's recipe with Carrot while I stayed outside.
~~~
"Honestly... what is this?" I sighed, catching cotton candy in my hand. We were getting snowed on by little pieces of it. Meanwhile, Luffy was finally falling to the poison that he ate. He was laying across the lawn, out of commission.
Chopper was running around, having the time of his life catching all of the falling balls of fluff. Then the den den mushi started going off. According to Pekoms, the ringing was due to warning signals, which means we're definitely in Big Mom's territory now.
"I see something Pekoms!" Pedro informed from the top of a mast. "It's a ship! A ship is coming towards us!"
"What?! Are they here already?!" the lion mink panicked, looking over the side of the ship's railing. "That's probably a TARTE, one of our scout ships."
"What?!" Nami gasped. "I can't see it clearly because of the fog."
"What should we do?" Brook asked.
"I'll handle it somehow so all of you, go hide!" Pekoms ordered.
Chopper then piped up, but went completely off topic, "This is bad! Luffy is looking worse! The poison must have spread into his system even more! Don't they have an antidote on the scout ship?!"
I looked toward the captain, seeing his sprawled out body on the grass. He was turning gray now and he had deep purple bags under his blank eyes. I picked him up after Pekoms said he'd ask for an antidote and everyone ran into the ship's storage room. Nami, Carrot and I all peaked out the door once I put Luffy back down. We could see the shadow of the TARTE getting closer.
The ship finally came into view. My eyes widened in shock. It was a huge snail with what looked like a castle on it's strange shell. Not to mention it had 66 on it's sail and face. "No! That's not a TARTE!" Pekoms yelled to us.
A huge snail and 66. It's just like in the comics. "This is Germa! Is that the Straw Hats' ship?" a voice spoke through speakers from the snail ship.
"That's Germa 66's ship!" Pekoms shouted.
I threw the door open and ran out, everyone following me. "Germa 66... The organization led by Sanji's father... Also known as the Warmongers!" Nami voiced.
"Wait! How did you find out about Germa?" I asked her.
"Pekoms told us they were a group of assassins, and the Vinsmokes led it," she replied, "Do you know of them? I don't remember you being there."
"I'm from North Blue and so was my father. He told me about them. Germa 66 is also the organization that was the villain in a comic called Sora, Warrior of the Sea, which I read," I said, staring at the ship now.
"Why are you here, Straw Hats?!" the voice from the speakers asked.
The Sunny started creaking due to the rushing water around us. Nami was quick to tell us to furl the sails so we wouldn't collide with the snail ship. Nami turned the wheel of the Sunny, but we only didn't hit the snail because Germa 66's ship had furled their sails as well. I jumped off the mast after we were safe, but when Chopper did too, he started shouting Sanji's name for some reason, looking at a figure on the ship.
"Oh! That twirly eyebrow! It's Sanji!" Brook yelled once he saw the figure too.
I scratched my cheek, looking at the cape the guy was wearing. It had the number four on it and he was in green. Once again, just like in the comics. Everyone started shouting for Sanji, but we literally just established that Germa was Sanji's family, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was a relative with the same curly eyebrows.
"Hey, Sanji! We have a problem! Luffy got poisoned by eating fish and is dying!" Chopper called to whoever that was. "Is there an antidote on that ship?! Sanji! Are you listening, Sanji?!"
"Stop calling me Sanji! You got the wrong person!" the man in green yelled, throwing the hood of his cape off, revealing green slicked back hair and headphone things that had 66 on them. "Well, of course I look like him. My name is Yonji!"
"Not San(three)ji but Yon(four)ji?!" our doctor shrieked. "He resembles him and has twirly eyebrows but he's not him?!"
"BAHAH-!" I blurted, and then I slapped my hand over my mouth. "Ahem... sorry that was just an unoriginal name... your dad truly has an imagination on him..."
Nami stifled a laugh beside me while the guy just continued talking, "My relationship with your friend Sanji is a secret of secrets. It's absolutely confidential!"
"So he also had a little brother..." Nami trailed off, saying what all of us could clearly tell despite it being "confidential."
"What?! How can you tell he's his little brother?" Carrot questioned.
"Well, they look alike and if Sanji is three, and this guy is four, four comes after three so he's the younger brother," I explained.
She hit her palm with her other hand as if she had a light bulb moment, saying, "Oh!"
"Anyway..." I pointed a finger at the man, "YOU! Aren't you Winch Green from Sora, Warrior of the Sea?!"
He stared hard at me for a minute before going full Sanji mode, scurrying back and forth on the railing with his arms up and hearts in his eyes, "CUUUTIE! Cute, so cute...!" I sweatdropped, my arm going limp in disappointment from him not acknowledging my question.
"Are you really not Sanji?!" Chopper yelled.
Yonji paid no mind to him, but stopped his weird fawning when a person approached him from behind, saying something I couldn't hear. Luffy started getting a rash on his body right when Yonji started walking back into his ship.
"Hey! Please! I bet you have antidotes! We used all we got but he still needs more!" Chopper pleaded to him before he could leave.
Brook followed his lead and started waving his arms, "If you're Sanji's brother, please save Luffy!"
The man in green turned around and smirked, "Sorry, I have no interest in saving people. Or do you wanna try and rob the medicine from us? Like pirates?"
Nami gained an irk mark as she glared at him, "What a jerk! He's totally different from Sanji! Even though he likes girls too!"
"He's not kind at all!" Carrot sobbed.
"Let's steal from them," I grunted, cracking my knuckles.
Pedro nodded and half unsheathed his sword, "Just say the word if you want me to kill him!"
We couldn't even make a move before someone else attacked him instead. Yonji went flying into the water with a huge slash. My eyes were so trained onto the scene that I nearly had a heart attack when something suddenly wrapped around my ankle weakly. When I looked down, I could see it was Luffy, who was groaning in pain with smoke coming from his mouth.
I knelt down and he let go of my ankle to grab my wrist instead. His entire body was getting purple patches. "Can you hear me, Luffy?" I questioned, feeling his grip on my wrist get a little tighter, but not like it usually was. Now I was actually getting concerned.
"C'mon Luffy! It's just a fish! You said you were going to be the King of Pirates!" Nami called for him, holding his limp hand at the other side of him.
Someone then landed on the lawn a few feet away form us. "An intruder!" Carrot shouted, activating her electro power that I still have yet to fully understand. "Who are you?!"
The person stood up straight, revealing that it was a pink haired woman with swirly brows, also clad in Germa 66 attire. ""Hello, I'm sorry. My young brother is a cold blooded jackass," she apologized.
"Damn right he is," I grunted. Though he was an assassin for a living, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised. Then I looked at her a minute longer, fully taking in her features. "Eh?! Wait, aren't you Poison Pink?!"
She smiled at me, "Yes I am."
"WHAAT?! Her eyebrows are twirly too!" Chopper shrieked.
"She's gorgeousss~!" Brook sang with hearts in his eyes.
There was a huge splash that made everyone look toward the sea. The green Vinsmoke was floating above the ship with the tech on his boots. "Reiju!" Yonji yelled. "You moron! How could you humiliate me?!"
"Shut up! You should be ashamed of yourself!" she scolded him.
"What? He's hovering in the air?" Brook asked.
"Is he a devil fruit eater?" Chopper followed.
"If so, he should've been weakened by falling into the water!" Nami commented. "But it looks different from Sanji or CP9 members' special skills, too."
"That's a power from the comics," I told them. "They were big tech heads in the story."
"She's right. It's science, not devil fruits," Pekoms informed. "Germa 66 is a group of fighters who have honed themselves with science. They are a scientific fighting squad, if you will. And Mama is looking to get that technology!"
"What?! He's using mechanical power to hover?!" Chopper gushed. "COOOOL~!"
"Sanji's family is unbelievable," Nami said, picking up the reindeer so he didn't run off to see it closer or something.
"Franky would have loved to see their stuff," I thought aloud.
"AH! You're right!" Chopper exclaimed.
"Germa 66... the Vinsmoke Family leads it..." Brook hummed, and then looked towards the lion Mink. "Pekoms, if I'm correct, Vinsmoke was... the name of a royal family, wasn't it? If I remember right, it was a family that conquered the North Blue by force of arms long ago."
Chopper plopped back onto the floor and directed his eyes to the skeleton, "By 'royal family', you man like Vivi and Neptune?!"
"What? Are they such a prominent family?" Nami gaped. She then looked to me, "Did you know of this?" I only nodded.
"That's right. They were synonymous with evil in a past age. That's why they were used as models for the comic strip that (y/n) keeps mentioning," Pekoms answered Brook's initial question.
"Skeleton, you have so much historical knowledge," Reiju complimented.
"Well I've lived a long time. I'm dead now, though," Brook blushed.
She smiled and continued, "But it's not a story from the past. We're still a royal family. Germa is a country without soil. We have no land to govern but we're given the right to attend the Reverie."
Brook bowed to her and said, "Ah, I beg your pardon. If that is so, may I see your panties?" Nami kicked him in the head.
Reiju made her way over to Luffy, who I was still sitting beside due to his weak grip on my arm. "Now then, can I have it?" she asked.
"Can you have... what?" Nami retorted.
The woman ignored her, "Looks like he ate an Armored Stone fish from the Boiling Sea, didn't he?"
"What? How did you know?" Chopper asked.
She walked to Luffy's side, opposite to mine since Nami had moved. "How this venom works is unique. He must have been greedy. It could even kill a giant instantly," she hummed.
"What?! Oh no! Then there's no way to save Luffy....! I shouldn't be a ship doctor anymore!" the reindeer cried.
"But this boy is lucky," Reiju said, kneeling beside the poisoned teen. "Because this venom is... one of my favorite things! I'm sure you know what I'm going to do next," she looked at me.
She must be referring to her comic powers. I hummed in though, then I slapped a hand over my mouth in realization. Right as I did, she leaned down and just kissed him. Have you ever heard people referring to kissing as "sucking face"? Well this was pretty much the literal version of that because she was sucking the poison from our captains mouth. And quite aggressively.
"SMOOOOCH!" Brook screeched in surprise.
"Wh-What are you doing?!" Nami asked with a blush.
"So daring..." Pekoms muttered, also blushing.
"What?! Whoa whoa whoa! If you suck up the venom like that, you're gonna die!" Chopper panicked. Then his is eyes widened. "Eh? The rash is transferring to her body." The purple wings on her back lifted up and more yellow spots developed on them before she finally pulled away with a dramatic exhale of breath. Chopper ran over to Luffy and said, "The rash on his body disappeared! Are you alright?!" He looked at her for that last questioned.
"Yes, of course I am. I'm Poison Pink," the pink head replied while walking away. "It was delicious!"
Luffy woke up a second later, and then he called Reiju "Sanji" right off the bat, not even bothering to acknowledge that she wasn't even blond. We updated him on what was going on, and he understood easily enough. Reiju then got to explaining why Sanji's poster was changed to "only alive" and why his bounty shot up when he wasn't active in Dressrosa.
"Where is Sanji now?" Luffy asked.
"I don't know," Reiju replied. "Maybe he's with Big Mom or with Father. We came to greet him but I think we missed each other. Well, if he can attend the tea party, that's all that matters. And I got to see you guys too. Thank you for looking after my brother all this time."
As she turned to go back to her ship, our captain sprung up and called for her, "Sanji's sister! Thank you for saving my life. But... I still want Sanji back! He's my friend! I'm gonna take Sanji back at all cost!"
"Hey you! You're Pekoms from the Big Mom pirates, aren't you?!" Yonji interrupted the stare down he was having with her. "Why are you with the Straw Hats?!"
Pekoms didn't hesitate to answer, "I have my own reason! Why do I have to explain it to you guys?! There's no bond between us yet!"
"That's right," Reiju hummed. She then looked toward me, "You're Silver Goddess (y/n), right? And I believe your last name is (l/n)."
I raised a brow in confusion, "How'd you know about my last name? It's not even on my wanted poster."
"Big Mom wanted to see you. We were told to pick you up if we really did run into your ship," she explained.
"EHHHH?!" Chopper, Brook, and Nami shouted.
"Shut up! I'm the one who should be surprised here!" I yelled at them. I turned back to the pink haired woman and cleared my throat, "Anyway...EHHHH?! Why does she even want to see me?!"
"I don't know, I didn't ask. I doubt I would have received an explanation either way. It may be due to your Celestial Dragon lineage," she thought aloud.
"What? How do people keep finding out about that?" I groaned, dragging a hand down my face.
"Judging from the late order for you, I'd say she only recently found out about it," the pink haired woman stated. That would make sense, I guess. It was kind of a rhetorical question, though.
"Oi oi! She already took Sanji! Big Mom can't have either of them!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Now hold on Luffy," I held up a hand and quirked a brow at the pink clad woman, "You guys are going to meet with Sanji, right? At the tea party?"
She nodded, "Yes, we are attending the tea party."
"So if I go with you, I'll easily go into her territory and possibly be able to see Sanji easier?" I asked.
"I suppose you would. I don't believe Big Mom has ill intent towards you judging from the fact that her ship didn't come for you," she answered.
I hummed and held my chin before nodding, "Yea, I'll go with you guys then."
"EHHHH?! Don't go, (y/n)! It's a bad idea!" Chopper sobbed, holding onto my leg.
"STAY! She could be lying!" Brook cried out next, grabbing my other leg.
"He's right! This could be a trick!" Nami agreed, placing her hand on my shoulder in concern.
"No! You're just not going!" Luffy declared, crossing his arms. "We can get there ourselves!"
I sighed, "These guys are probably just going to try to take me eventually! Going with them could give us an advantage since I'll be able to scout everything out and then maybe meet up with you guys since you're already heading for the island! I know you're all concerned but if I really do get into trouble, I'll escape for sure. I'm not that unresourceful. And I'm not weak either."
Luffy frowned deeply before grumbling, "I know you're not weak."
"Then...?" I trailed off, motioning toward the snail ship with my hands. He frowned even harder. "C'moooonnnn! The more time I spend there, the easier taking him back will be! We all know that he's gonna need some convincing."
".....Fine," he said through pursed lips.
I smiled and hugged him, "Okay! You guys are gonna be heading to the island anyway, so if I do end up having to run away, I'll be sure to find you guys!"
He hugged back and nodded, "Make sure to stay safe! And if you can, just take Sanji on your own and come to our ship! Or if you need to, just start the fight without us!"
"Gotcha!" I let go of him and then hugged Chopper, Nami, and Brook in a group hug, "This may be our last hug, guys."
"DON'T SAY THAT!" Nami smacked me over the head.
I started laughing, "It was a joke! I have the vitality of Luffy! C'mon now!" She rolled her eyes at me. I gave Carrot a side hug since I really didn't know her all that well. She rubbed her cheek onto mine, then I let go and waved to Pedro. Facing Reiju, I gave her a nod. She hoisted me into her arms bridal style and then jumped incredibly high with the help of her boots. We landed on the snail ship with virtually no impact. Those boots are amazing. Maybe I could steal from their castle later. I could even show Franky the technology.
Before I knew it, the snail was already on the move. "Wow this thing is fast," I commented, looking at the rushing water after I climbed off of Reiju.
"Of course, we only have the best in our family, which includes ships," she hummed.
The crinkle of a paper made me look behind me. Yonji was holding my wanted poser next to me. "Wooow~! Even better than the picture!" he gushed, hearts in his eyes.
"Oh boy..." I sighed, and then I snatched the paper from his hand, "Leave me alone, Winch."
"I like them fiery~!" he sang. I crumpled the paper and threw it at his head. This is gonna be a long trip.
