Shenanigans starts!

[POV Mikita, Sanji and Luffy]

"This is good, we will probably look less suspicious in these uniforms." Sanji Comments wearing the navy chef outfit.

"Yes, now behave. I still need to go to the kitchen." Mikita rocks her chef dress.

"Waaah, something smells nice~" Luffy smells the air and drools.

"Yes, Mikita-chwaaan~ But this seems to be the kitchen?" Sanji walks over to the double door and opens it to make a small peeping crack.

"Let's see if we can get any information." Mikita joins him peeking through the gap.

…

"Hey, I heard some ships came in." Cook 1

"WHAT?! then those assholes are finally coming?!" Cook 2

"Yeah, those brothers are coming here." Cook 3

"First impressions are everything. Show them no mercy!" Cook 4

"YEAH!!!" Cooks

…

"Meat! I smell meat!" Luffy walks over hungrily but is stopped by the unmovable heavy weight Mikita.

"Is the word patience not in your vocabulary?" Mikita stares at Luffy.

"My vocabulary consists of 'all the meat you can eat' and 'free refills'!" Luffy says with a psychotic face.

'... How much longer do we have to sail with these guys, hubby?!' Mikita cries inwardly seeing the stupid captain.

"No, wait Luffy!!!" Sanji tries to stop Luffy, who squeezes through Mikita's iron guard.

"MEAATTT!!!" Luffy yells and bursts through the door.

…

Every cook stops and gawks at the three figures who burst the doors open.

'Hubby… Please let me kill this idiot…' A tear appears in the corner of Mikita's eye while Sanji is facepalming.

"So you are the Murray brothers?" Cook 1 asks.

"So you are those despicable cooks from Mariejois?" Cook 2

"What?" Luffy looks confused.

"I heard you said that you were doing us a favor by coming to this fortress in the boonies, even though you didn't want to!" Cook 3 gets more upset as he talks.

"And that we are excreting insignificant meals!" Cook 4

"You sure have the guts to say that." Cook 1

Mikita quickly realizes that this could be an opportunity. She walks closer to Sanji.

"Go along with what I say later." She whispers.

Sanji nods and waits.

"Yes, we are the Murray siblings. I'm Mikita and this is my brother Sanji and half brother Luffy. Actually me and Sanji are the cooks while Luffy is our connoisseur." She points at the two men behind her.

"I don't know what you are all complaining about!!! I'm hungry, gimme food!" Luffy yells back.

"So you are the idiots, who used million berry ingredients to prepare dinners for the big shots in Mariejois? Even if your appointment was decided by the government, this is the kitchen, the most sacred place in Navarone. I won't let any cooks that I don't accept even a foot in here!" Jessica proclaims.

"That's right! That's our Jessica!!!" Cooks

"1000 stalwarts are always stationed in this fortress. Cooks here show respect by preparing dishes with all their might and providing energy to everyone's stomach. In order to support soldiers at the front lines, every morning and every night, we never lose our focus for even an instant. We are different from cooks who sit back and depend on expensive ingredients!" Jessica prepares dozens of plates in the time she walks towards the group.

Sanji seemed insulted for what he was mistaken for and walked forward silently.

"Are you forgetting that good cooking comes from the heart?" Jessica

"In other words, you're saying that you wanna teach me what cooking is about?" Sanji lights a smoke and asks.

'Ah, now they've gone and did it… They attacked his pride as a cook.' Mikita facepalms.

"I'm not trying to say something as dramatic as that. I just want you to show us the pride that you talk so much about! It doesn't matter who you are here at all. But if you don't have credible skills, then you will put others in trouble. Let me make myself clear. If you don't satisfy me, you are not allowed to call yourself cooks of Navarone." Jessica taunts.

"I see... That sounds interesting mademoiselle." Sanji smiles.

"We accept your challenge." Mikita grins and goes to whisper to Sanji.

"I avoided it until now, but teach me to cook like you from now on. Treat me like a sister as you do it, in exchange I will give you the reward Lynx's is offering if I get it." Mikita whispers into his ear.

"LEAVE IT TO ME!!!" Sanji yells full of motivation.

…

[POV Usopp, Buggs and Chopper]

"So you guys are ready?" Usopp asks as they are hiding in the shadows of a tree.

"I am ready!" Chopper sounds out.

"Me too, doc! But I gotta say, these are some well made costumes." Buggs admirers Usopp's handiwork.

"Hahahaha! I was always dreaming about cool costumes when I will become a great warrior of the sea and monster tales for pranking others. Behold my imagination!!!" Usopp pozes.

Usopp is wearing a full on Tengu costume with the wooden mask, the weird geta, fake wings,...

"You really look like a Tengu! You didn't even have to make the nose part of the mask!" Chopper admires it, sending a stab to Usopp's pride.

Chopper took off his hat and is now in his big form, with fake claws, teeth and so on to make him look like a bigfoot with antlers.

"But I'm kinda salty, I don't get more things…" Buggs broods.

He has fake antlers, sharp claws, blood covered body and many other things to look like a Jackalope.

"Hey! I didn't have more time! Plus this myth suits you the most. Let's go!" Usopp points in the direction of some incoming guarding marines.

…

"Hey, do you have any idea about the weird things going on here?" Marine 1

"Which ones specifically? The sky falling ghost ship, the weird encounters in the base, the pissed off cooks or what?" Marine 2

"The first one! Didn't all the weird things start after it dropped from the sky yesterday?" Marine 1

"Well, maybe it's 'that' time of the month?" Marine 2

"... You know that most inhabitants of this base are men right? Or are you saying the wife of the commander has 'that' time right now?" Marine 3 gawks at the second one's idiocy.

"Well who knows? Women can cause problems just by being in the presence of men." Marine 2 shrugs.

But at this time a gray figure drops from the tree above them.

"Who are you?!" The marines are already pointing guns at the figure in caution.

But the answer comes from the top of a tree. On the branch above them, there stood a figure.

"I am the almighty Tengu of the Navarone mountains! Usoppibo!!! I have come to take back these lands that belonged to my ancestors! I will not rest until you all flee or lie in your own blood as you become nutrients for our trees! Buggsibo!!! Chopperibo!!! Attack!!!" Usopp yells as he shoots his slingshot.

*Bang, bang bang bang!!!*

The multiple mini exploding stars blew the guns out of their hands. The marines looked flabbergasted at how easy they got disarmed. But they didn't have any more time.

"HWIIYAAAAA!!!" Buggs, the blood covered jackalope with sharp teeth and claws looked up at them with a crazed look and yelled and ungodly shriek.

"BWAAAAAAHHHH!!!" From the woods another figure emerged- a giant rampaging bigfoot ran at them with a rabid expression.

"WHA-?!" Marine 1 is flabbergasted by the sudden situation and falls on his ass scared shitless.

"RUN BITCH RUUUUNNN!!!" Marine 2 is the first to run, since he isn't planning to engage these three monsters without a gun.

The other marines followed suit and ran for their lives, some even having some small wet stains on their pants.

"FEAR THE MONSTER TRIO OF THE NAVARONE MOUNTAIN!!! TREMBLE AND LEAVEEEE!!!" Usopp yells

"HWIYAAAAA!!!" Buggs

"BWAAHAHAAAAAAA!!!" Chopper

The marines escape in a dust cloud from their speed, leaving the trio alone. They stood there for a second before bursting into laughter.

"BWAHAHAHA! Did you see those guys?!" Usopp rolls on the floor from laughter.

"Hahahaha!!! Some even pissed themselves without us even touching them!" Buggs is hitting the ground in laughter.

"I'm not the type to like this, but that was funny!" Chopper also laughs.

"But this was a genius idea Buggs." Usopp pats Buggs on the back.

"Heh, Lynx said about not attacking them, but he didn't mention not scaring them shitless~ If you only met the poor hunter Elmer back on Drum island. He could write a story from me trolling him." Buggs laughs darkly.

"Well, what are we waiting for? We need to win this to get some respect from the crew!" Usopp says confidently.

"AYE AYE MASTER TENGU!" Chopper.

…

They continue to use ambushes on the marines all over the base as long as it's outside. Sometimes Buggs was hiding underground, burst out and grabbed the ankle of a marine while acting like a flesh seeking jackalope. Those guys really did shit themselves and sometimes even fall unconscious from fear, after seeing the bloody rabbit emerging like a zombie.

At other times Chopper showed his strength by throwing boulders and logs towards them as he ran at them like a rampaging monster. Usopp disarmed anyone that came, from different angles and advantageous terrain.

When a group ran away scared, more marines came back to capture these 'monsters', but failed to catch a glimpse of them at that spot… Only to get ambushed at another spot!

They stole the weapons and hid them underground in one of Buggs's burrows.

Soon the tales of the Navarone mountain monster trio started to spread over the base.

…

[POV Heph]

Walking into the port, she gazes at the ships being repaired and at Merry. She has already disguised herself with the things in her spatial bag, making her look like a high ranked personnel in the base.

"Huh? Are we having an inspection right now?" Mechao gawks at Hephs uniform and quickly hides the booze bottle behind his back.

The other shipwrights all stand on attention, saluting Heph. Seeing their reaction, Heph smirks a bit.

"At ease! I don't care if you drink or do anything else as long as your work is at 100% efficiency. You can call me Chief Heph. Now, show me what you are working on." Heph commands the shipwrights who immediately follow her orders.

Mechao as the oldest shipwright follows the current leading shipwright, as they give a tour to Heph. But as they continue the tour, her smile falls further and further as a frown appears.

'I haven't worked on ships much since they are mostly wood and we don't need them in Orario… But this is just sad.' Heph sighs.

"Alright, I have seen enough. Mechao, right? What do you think about the skills of the shipwrights?" Heph asks politely.

"They are good. I trained most of them and am here now only as an advisor for special problems." Mechao says proudly.

"... This is normal shipwrighting. As shipwrights of a military, you should be making ships as tough as nails! Even if they are thrown by a seaking, they should be able to withstand it and come for repairs thousands of kilometers away to the closest island!" Heph is annoyed by their proudness of being mediocre.

"Um, Chief Heph… We aren't the official shipwrights that make the ships, but the ones who repair the damaged ones. If we replace the damaged parts with great parts, it would look off and the ship would be out of balance since the weight distribution and other things will be different." Head shipwright.

"And you are fine with that?! You should be striving to be the best shipwrights in the world! Making your own ships that would lead the armies and make this place famous! I can't believe that you are satisfied with this… mediocre stage of craftsmanship!" Heph got in a bad mood as she lectured them.

"You think we don't want to? We just aren't that gifted, so when we apprenticed as shipwrights, we never were trusted with the more advanced knowledge and responsibilities, which led us to come here." One of the mechanics looks depressed.

"Then prepare yourself! Gather all shipwrights, you are all joining my crash course." Heph declares.

"Crash course?" Mechao looks confused as he looks at the petite look of Heph.

"DID.I.STUTTER?!" She sends a deadly glare to Mechao. She highly dislikes when people look down on someone, just because they don't look like they know anything.

"N-NO! Quick! Go get the rest of the boys!!!" Mechao yells towards the other shipwrights, who quickly disperse.

"Jeez, I just can't look at half baked craftsmen without getting angry at them. Well, if they become better, maybe Lynx can portal me back here to get more seastone. I am on the brink of creating an alloy from it." Heph talks to herself as she waits for everyone to come back.

…

The shipwrights were thoroughly schooled by Heph in some techniques she doesn't mind passing onto them and massively improved their performance, which would later make Navarone be renown also as a shipbuilding base.

…

[Robin POV]

"This layout really is interesting. It's good from the aspect of defense against invasions, but the logistics are also bad because of it. Now where can I find something worth reading?" Robin calmly walks down the hallways in search of a library or something.

She preemptively spawns ears or eyes in the hallways ahead to always avoid the gaze of marines. Though that doesn't mean, she isn't competing in Lynx's challenge~

She scared the shit out of a few guys by spawning arms from the ground, ceiling and walls. She also made some men faint with an idea she stole from Lynx- She made the men grow boobs, sexy ass and many other things, making some faints from shock, while others from shame as their friends and colleagues saw them in a 'special' light.

All her victims had the name Robin imprinted on their backs.

"Well, this is a base, not a special command post, so maybe next time." Robin sighs as she continues through the hall as she gives most men trauma and some rare ones… Happiness.

[POV Nami, Lux, Conis and Zoro]

"So this is the safe you bitched so much about?" Zoro looks up, gazing at the giant steel door.

"Why else would there be such a giant steel door there?" Nami rolls her eyes.

"So you think all the funds for the base are kept here?" Conis aks.

"Should be! I don't know where else they would keep it? The commander's room would be too small for such an amount of funds." Nami explains.

"Booooriiiing! I want some action rather than this!" Lux complains.

"You and me both, witch." Zoro nods.

"... Why do I want to shoot you with a laser even when I am a witch." Lux glares at him.

"Dunno, maybe you fried your brains with all those lasers." Zoro shrugs.

"Want me to fry your privates?" Lux

"Try me. I wanna see if I can cut a laser." Zoro smirks at Lux.

"If you two don't shut up and start working together, I will make sure you will." Conis points her burn bazooka at point blank at the two.

"WHY ME TOO?!" Lux puffs up her cheeks as she feels like she shouldn't be included in the threat.

"The more I watch the more I can see that Lynx only brings in lunatic women… Is that his fetish maybe?" Zoro ponders.

""Nope, blame the freedom he gives and his influence which turn us like this."" Lux and Conis say at the same time with the same face.

Zoro only stares at the two, then he looks at Nami.

"Please don't become one of Lynx's women as well, Nami." Zoro says seriously.

"Huh? Why are you saying that so suddenly? You have a crush on me~?" Nami smirks and tries teasing Zoro.

"Not even close! The guys are okay, but Lynx just makes the women go crazy and upgrades their powers. I don't want you to go from a banshee to the mother goddess of banshee's." Zoro

"... Conis, can you lend me your burn bazooka?" Nami asks with a smile, that isn't one at the same time.

"Oi!!!" Zoro protests.

"Wait for after he cuts down the door of the safe." Conis kept her head in the game and is focused on objectives.

"Well what are you still waiting for? Go cut the door, mosshead!" Lux yells.

"Shut it witch! I'm going already, sheesh!" Zoro walks towards the door and stands still in front of it.

*Shwiip! Shwip! Shweeep!*

He cuts in the middle of the door in a triangle, which he then kicks.

The cut out piece falls out, letting the four enter the vault. Entering they see a neat stacked pile of bank notes and a huge pile of gold.

"Moneyyy!!!" Nami jumps right inside the gold pile as if wanting to swim in it.

She crashes into it but somehow really sinks in to start swimming.

"How can you be so excited about this small pile of gold after we got so much of it in Alabasta and Elysium?" Zoro facepalms and sighs seeing the display.

"I agree, when you have a certain amount of money, you should be numb to pocket change like this." Lux comments.

"Bleh! Once a man starves, they will hoard food for the rest of their lives, no matter the abundance. Same thing here!" Nami looks away from them in contempt.

"Then I am surprised." Zoro becomes thoughtful.

"Huh? For what reason?" Nami tilts her head at him.

"Well if you love money that much, why haven't you actually shot for Lynx yet?" Zoro

"Now that I think about it… It's true. You actually know him for the longest from the girls. How come you still haven't gone for him?" Lux is also curious for the reason.

"What has Lynx to do with it? Most of his money is getting used up as we speak! And why should I offer myself to him? He already has enough women." Nami doesn't look very entertained, but her cheeks are slightly blushing.

"Well first off, he is the main ruler of two countries now if you ignore his wandering around and leaving the countries with his women. He obtained the gold from Crocodile and he has the control of all the gold up in Elysium. Hate to admit it, but he is the strongest on the crew right now with his bullshit powers." Zoro becomes ticked off.

"True and he also has the teleportation ability now. This would be your dream power since you could just teleport into vaults and steal everything without a problem or trace. And as for women… I haven't seen him become tired yet." Conis reasons.

Nami stares at her three companions as her clouded mind filled with prejudice clashes with realization of the spoken words. Her mouth gapes open, but she doesn't know what to say besides…

"I AM SO STUPID!!! I NEED TO GET ONE OF THOSE RINGS AS WELL!!!" She points at Lux's sling ring.

"You won't be able to use it since you have no mana. So give up." Lux hides her sling ring.

"C'mon! There must be a way!" Nami doesn't give up.

"Even if there is a way, I am not giving you my ring. Go to Lynx." Lux

"Haaaah… Listening to you is making my head throb. Can we finish this and go?" Zoro complains.

"Let me contact Lynx so we can put it in his vault." Conis says as she quickly closes her eyes to contact me.

After a few moments she nods as she walks towards the pile of gold.

The next moment a portal appears under the gold.

"Waaaah!!!" Nami falls through it with a scream.

A few seconds after she is yeeted out of the portal while holding her ass.

"LYYYYYNXXXXX!!!" She screams with a red face from embarrassment and anger.

"What? Who told you to be in the middle of the gold pile? You dropped ass first on my face, you think I wouldn't slap it?!" My head peeks out of the portal and replies.

"DIEEEE!!!" She tries to hit me, but I retreat into the portal and close it, leaving the huffing Nami alone.

The three people there stare as she huffs and puffs until she glares at them.

"YOU STILL THINK I SHOULD BECOME HIS WHEN HE ACTS THAT WAY?" Nami yells.

"If you want to? I don't really care as long as I don't spend a night all alone with him. Now that's scary!" Conis replies.

"Is it really that scary?" Lux asks her with curiosity.

"Don't worry. He spent his newly wed night with Vivi alone and she shined the next morning. You will be fine." Zoro shrugs as he cuts the name Zoro into the vault walls.

"Hey! Write mine too!" Conis

"Mine too!" Lux chimes in.

"*Sigh* Mine as well…" Nami sighs as she knows logic was long abandoned by this crew.
