Knock-Up Stream

The crew waved goodbye to Cricket the next morning as the Upgraded Merry sailed away with the help of Masira and Shoujou.

Thirteen looked out to the sea as they sailed, he was wearing his bunny suit. If you look closely, you'll see the back of his suit had a bulge that moved around quickly.

The rest of the crew was getting prepared, Usopp and Nami looked slightly nervous as Masira and Shoujou waved goodbye, saying "This the farthest we can go! Good luck, friends!"

Luffy waved "Bye Monkey and Orangutan man!" Masira dn Shoujou smiled happily and waved as their ships sailed away.

The Merry floated to a certain spot and Nami looked at the map Cricket drew, she said "This is the spot… But where's the-" her words were interrupted by a laugh.

The crew looked over to see a small little raft with 4 people on it, a fat man was the one laughing "Zehahahahahaha! I finally found you!"

Luffy held onto the railing and said "Hey! It's the guy who likes bad food!" the man's mouth twitched and he shouted "YOU LIKE BAD FOOD! THAT PIE WAS DELICIOUS!" while shaking his fist in anger.

Luffy shouted back, holding his arm, "YOU WANNA GO, FAT MAN!? THAT PIE WAS GROSS!" The man seemed incensed and walked to the edge of the raft shouting "DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE!"

Thirteen looked over and tilted his head, the man with a Luchador mask was here! He touched his chin, what was his name again…

Jesus looked at Thirteen and shouted "It's you!" he cracked his knuckles and grinned "You got me by chance last time… Hehe, it won't happen again." licking his lips with a feral expression all over his face.

Another man with a scope over one of his eyes, rubbed his rifle, saying "Jesus… He's my prey." Jesus turned around and shouted "I'll break your neck, stringbean! Fuck off!" the man said "It's Van Augur, not stringbean."

Jesus laughed crazily "Who cares!" he was about to punch Van Augur when a sickly man walked in between them, chuckling "Alright, let's calm down friends. Here, have an apple." he was sitting on a horse that was constantly shaking as if it couldn't handle the weight of life.

The fat man turned and shouted "MORONS! This isn't the time to be fighting! We need to capture these brats, remember?!" Jesus spat and said "Only if I get that Slave kid! You got that Blackbeard!?"

Blackbeard, the fat man, laughed and said "Of course."

Thirteen tilted his head and picked up a gold coin from Nami's hand, she looked at him and said "Hey! That's mine!" Thirteen ignored her and looked at the coin, walking back to the railing.

His arm bulged and he positioned the coin on his thumb, pointing it at Blackbeard and his crew.

Nami shouted "NO! MY GOLD!" as Thirteen flicked the coin, unfortunately for him, the water bulged up and shot the Merry into the air at the exact moment he was shooting, making him off target.

The coin blasted through the air and passed right through Van Augur's hat, skimming Jesus' face, leaving a nasty cut across his face. It went over his nose right under his eyes from cheek to cheek.

He yelled and held his face as Van Augur looked at the hole in his hat. The sickly man whistled and chuckled, "Now you really need an apple…"

Jesus' eyes stared at Thirteen, overflowing with rage and hostility.

Blackbeard was stunned and looked at the Merry, flying in the air. He frowned and muttered "There goes that…" before turning around and waving "Let's go, they're gone." Jesus sat down and looked at him, saying "My face."

Blackbeard chuckled and his eyes glared at Jesus, replying "Disrespect me again, and your face will be the least of your problems. Do you understand, Burgess?" as his hands leaked pure darkness.

Jesus shivered and his eyes reflected terror as he nodded and stayed silent. Blackbeard laughed and said cheerfully "We'll get someone else. Doc, sail somewhere else." the sickly man chuckled and nodded "Sure thing, Cap." before patting his horse and smiling gently "Let's go, Stronger."

Stronger neighed and slowly walked away as Doc laid on him.

Van Augur sighed and poked his finger through the hole in his hat as their little raft sailed away.

Meanwhile~

The Merry sailed up the knock-up stream, flying in the sky.

Thirteen was still standing on the deck as the rest were holding onto something. Curiously, he was standing sideways. In reality, he was grabbing the deck with his feet hardened so he wasn't going anywhere.

Luffy was laughing, Sanji was trying to light a cigarette, Zoro was sliding around still asleep, Robin was hanging from Thirteen's leg with a smile, while Usopp, Nami, and Chopper were screaming and hanging from the chain on Thirteen's other leg.

White looked at them and slapped his forehead.

Thirteen's bunny suit ears were flapping around and he started walking on the deck like normal, going to the railing and looking out at the scenery.

Nami shouted "DON'T MOVE!" Usopp pleaded, "I'll let you eat me if you stop moving." Chopper was just crying.

Robin looked to the side and said "We're high up… If we fall, maybe there won't even be a corpse left." Nami, Usopp, and Chopper shouted in unison "THAT'S NOT FUNNY!" Robin giggled and Thirteen tilted his head, wondering how long it was gonna take to go up.
