I love the Luffy and Sanji Calvin and Hobbes strip. It combines two of my main loves, yay!
Thanks so much! Calvin and Hobbes must have been the best comic ever. ever. =)

OMG! It's Usopp's Birthday, which mean it's April Fool's Day! (isn't it the other way around?) I wrote a Happy Birthday fiction for Usopp over the course of LAST MONTH, because I anticipated it so much. Here it is, after keeping ahold of it for an entire week, waiting in expectation for oh so very very long. and now, although it will also be up on DA and FF.Net, YOU guys will see it FIRST! Feel lucky! NOW!
A/N: Really, I've written One Piece stories with Fangirls in them, and all of them have included friendly and evil fangirls, but this is the first story I've written where there are NO evil fangirls.
P.S. I dedicate this story to TABOO, because although I did not name her in the story, I always imagined her to be the Fangirls' leader. Come on, you KNOW it's true! =)
Anyways, READ ON!

Usopp’s Surprise Birthday Party
By none other than Chrisanthy Kohn
“Cheer up, Usopp,” Sanji muttered as his sniper cried on the tablecloth, “It’s not so bad.”
“It’s not faiiiiiir…” Usopp whined, big salty tears running down his nose, “It’s almost my birthday… and no one loves meeeeee!”
“What about that girl who gave you this hunk of junk?” The cook asked, flipping a pancake. Usopp went from crying to angered, and glared at the back of the blonde’s head.
“KAYA is an exception!” He roared, “And the Going Merry Go is NOT JUNK!” After huffing and fuming a bit, he suddenly moaned and slammed his forehead on the dining table, his nose curling downward as he did so. Sanji sighed as he placed the finished pancake on a plate and tossed it in the “PMSing” sniper’s direction. Usopp looked up, and rubbed his nose a bit, pulling the pancake towards him and poking it. He looked dejectedly at Sanji, and a fork bounced off his forehead when the cook chucked it at him.
“Quit whining, you baby, there are plenty of fangirls who like you.” Sanji muttered as Usopp poked his snack halfheartedly.
“Liar…” Usopp said. Sanji moaned at the whining of his Nakama.
“YOU’RE the liar, if you forgot, moron,” Sanji pointed out. He was wiping the pan off with some running water as Usopp continued poking at his food, when suddenly the door to the galley opened, and Nami came in, checking the newspaper that the Straw Hats received.
“What morons,” She muttered as she settled down at the table, across from Usopp, and opened the paper, “Can you believe it? 20 Beli. I’m going to kill something.”
“Nami-Swan,” Sanji said, smiling in her direction, as she flipped a page, “If you don’t mind, I’ll pay for the paper next time!”
“Sure, that sounds fine, Sanji-Kun,” Nami said. Sanji scrubbed faster, his eye turning into a heart. He didn’t notice that Nami was paying no attention to him. She flipped another page, and suddenly blinked as something hard and something papery fell into her lap. She blinked and turned to the cook, “Oi, Sanji-Kun, another one came! In the newspaper this time!”
“Oh, really?” Sanji asked, looking over Nami’s shoulder. She lifted the tiny velvet box up and an envelope that said, “To Sanji-Sama!” “Awww, how sweet,” He cooed, taking the box up and tearing the envelope open. Usopp mimed silently in disgust, and Sanji read off the letter, looking rather touched, “I am so sorry this is late, but I was saving up the money to buy the perfect gift! That is so sweet!” His eye turned back into a heart and his cigarette smoke matched as he hugged the paper close to him.
“Nearly a month late and he still loves it…” Usopp muttered angrily to himself as Sanji opened the tiny box. It was, obviously…
“This has got to be one of the cutest engagement rings I’ve gotten this year!” The cook exclaimed, “A gift from one of my adoring FEMALE (yay) fans. My life has been completed once again.”
Nami held her hand out, “And since you won’t be using it, do you mind, Sanji-Kun?”
“You can’t have it, Nami-San, this is a gift from my… Oh, who could say ‘no’ to you?” The cook dropped the ring into Nami’s hand, and she bit on it, smiling as she felt how soft it was.
“Wow, real gold. Quite a catch, Sanji-Kun,” Nami said, inspecting the ring. Sanji had already teleported from behind Nami to leaning on the table, staring into her eyes and murmuring “Mellorine” at random intervals. Usopp stood up and dropped his fork on the plate.
Nami looked at the pancake, “What’s wrong, Usopp? You haven’t even touched your snack.”
“Not hungry,” The sniper replied, stuffing his hands in his pockets and shuffling out of the galley to sulk in the men’s quarters. Sanji flirts with Nami and he STILL gets all the fangirls pining over him. It just wasn’t fair. He clomped down the stairs to the middle deck where Luffy and Chopper were throwing confetti into the air. All of it came from the surprise birthday party that the Fangirls threw for Sanji on his birthday towards the beginning of the March month. The two of them had gathered it all up so they could play with it later. Robin chastised them a bit about the small pieces getting into their eyes when they thought up their “ingenious” plan, but they paid her no heed.
“Something wrong, Long Nose-Kun?” Robin asked before Usopp could slink below decks. She actually closed her book (gasp), and turned to the sniper before he could blow the question off. The archeologist was quiet, which meant she was a good listener, “You look down. I’m all ears.”
Usopp sighed. He couldn’t deny her at least a bit of talk; she stopped reading for him and everything! She really was a wonderful Nakama… “Well, it’s like this,” He began, sitting down in front of Robin as Chopper and Luffy played in the background, “It’s my birthday tomorrow, and… well… I know that the Fangirls don’t care.”
“You… know?” Robin asked, looking particularly interested although she knew the answer.
“Yeah…” Usopp said, “Did you see what ZORO got for his birthday?”
“Oh yes, enough weights to sink the Going Merry Go and three Marine Battleships,” Robin replied, just as the Going Merry Go shifted slightly, because Zoro had moved with his weights in hand, “But what does that have anything to do with fangirls disliking you, Long Nose-Kun?”
“It’s just that… they don’t like me!” He stood up, pointing to his nose, “I’m Brave Captain Usopp-Sama! A pirate captain! People don’t like me because I’m the scariest and strongest of the Straw Hats!” Robin stared up at Usopp, a smirk on her face. She was humoring Usopp, and the sniper finally gave up, sighing and letting his arms sag, “It’s just that… they don’t like liars. They want REAL strong people. People who can fight enemies… and win…”
“You can’t defeat your enemies?” Robin asked, her voice showing a tinge of (false) surprise. Usopp grumbled at her actions. She wasn’t taking this conversation seriously at all!
“Of course I can’t!” Usopp started ticking his fingers off as he continued, “Arlong, Smoker, Crocodile, Eneru, Foxy… all of these guys are too strong! I can’t fight them! And if I DO beat someone, people decide that’s because they were the weak people anyway. How am I supposed to get some recognition?”
“I’ll tell you one thing,” Robin said, serious as all get out, “Whining won’t get you any.” Usopp threw his arms into the air, as if to say “I give up!” and stormed below deck, grumbling profanities under his breath. Luffy and Chopper looked after him a while, but once they realized that no one was getting in the way of their playing, they returned to their tossing of confetti everywhere, and Robin shook her head. She settled back into her sun chair, pulled open her book, and started reading it once again.

“Ahhhh, Island Ho!” Sanji called to the Straw Hat Pirates. Nami smiled at the cook, and gave him a thumbs up. Sanji gave Nami a “Mellorine!” as she looked to the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates.
“Prepare to land! Luffy, for once, do something!” The captain smirked at Nami from atop his favorite spot, and hopped off of the Going Merry Go’s sheep figurehead. He started over to draw the sails up, and suddenly called at the navigator, “Oi! Nami! Where’s Usopp?”
“He… wasn’t feeling well,” Sanji replied, “I think he’s still in bed, resting.”
“Not feeling well?” Nami asked, sounding worried. His birthday was tomorrow, too! What a terrible time to get sick… She then felt something sink in HER stomach too. She figured now that the reason Usopp was so sick was because he was still worried about his birthday. Who could blame the guy? Sanji had recently received a new formal tuxedo for his birthday (apparently, the fangirl who gave it to him was asking him to wear it at their wedding…)!
“Well then, let’s not worry about it now,” Zoro said, making the other Straw Hats look at the swordsman, “This place seems uninhabited. We should just worry about foraging enough supplies until the Log Pose sets, and we can leave.”
“Zoro!” Nami hissed, making Chopper hide on the stairs from the woman’s wrath, “What are you talking about? We can’t just let Usopp mope like this! We need to find some fangirls to cheer him up!”
“You think that’ll cheer him up?” Robin asked. Nami looked down at the archeologist, who shook her head, “You can’t just imagine up some Fangirls. They can imagine up Mary Sues, indeed, but you can’t force someone to like another person. Besides, no matter how many people like the sniper, he won’t be satisfied that it’s as much as our Captain-San. He will never be satisfied…”
“You make him sound like a monster that devours the poor girls…” Nami mumbled, looking out at the island. Her eyes widened, however, when she noticed a bunch of people standing out on the beach. She blinked, and looked at Sanji, “Sanji-Kun! See that banner? Grab the spyglass and check what it’s saying!”
Sanji saluted, and peered into the spyglass. After a moment of baited breath, a smile was brought to his lips, “Nami-San…” The cook said, turning to the navigator, “Guess what it says?”
Nami’s eyes began to get wet, “‘Happy Birthday, Usopp’?” She guessed, correctly.
“Alright!” A woman said through a megaphone as a bunch of women (and a handful of men, as well), cheered their leader on, “We can all see the Going Merry before us! Once the Straw Hats dock, we have to give our birthday boy some room to breathe, so jeez, if you DO wanna give him all your gifts, then get in line! The last we need is to smother the poor guy!” Another cheer erupted from the crowd, and the six fans that were holding the banner waved it back and forth, “And for GOD’S sake, people, if you DO get the urge to touch his nose, ME FIRST!”
The entire crowd screamed aloud, hooting, stomping, and roaring greeted the Going Merry Go as she came up to the beach. Zoro looked down at the small crowd, not nearly as huge as his or maybe Sanji’s (Maybe…), but to come all the way out to a remote island… their devotion for the sniper was gigantic. He motioned that he acknowledged their existence, and dropped anchor. One of the men shook his fist at the swordsman as a Fangirl hopped out of the way of the anchor. He turned and stomped off; he figured the moron would get the most annoying Fancharacters. Nami stared down at the wide eyed and expectant Fanpeople. They looked so intent on seeing Usopp for the first time that she could tell that they wouldn’t notice if she swept through the crowds, pick pocketing each and every one.
The Fanpeople stared up at the Going Merry Go’s figurehead, staring at Luffy as the captain dropped down among the crowds, “Hello everyone!” He called to them, his rubber lungs holding enough air that his voice projected to all of the people, without the need of a megaphone, “I’m glad you came to celebrate my sniper’s birthday!” There was silence, and Luffy looked around at the shining, wide eyes that surrounded him, “Huh? What’s wrong?”
“WHERE IS HE?” The shouting came so loudly that Luffy’s head bounced back and forth. Sanji sighed a bit as he counted the people. So much for taking most of the day off of cooking…
“Usopp! Usopp, you won’t be able to guess who’s on the island!” Chopper shouted, clambering down the ladder into the men’s quarters. He saw a hammock swing lazily from side to side, wider than the others, and realized Usopp was in it. He blinked when the sniper refused to answer, and he dropped to the floor, hooves plinking on the floor as he walked over to the hammock, “Usopp! You gotta wake up!”
“Go ‘way,” The sniper muttered shifting a bit so he was facing away from the reindeer, “I’m not feeling well…”
Chopper huffed, crossing his arms. For a brave man of the sea, he sure could be childish at times, “Come on, Usopp! Guess what’s on the island?”
“Food…”
“Well, that’s true,” The doctor said, after thinking about it. The reindeer then shook his head, and shouted at the sniper, “No! That’s not what I was talking about! They’re waiting for you!”
Silence… Chopper blinked as Usopp turned, staring down at the reindeer, “W… who’s waiting?”
Chopper smiled at the sniper, “I’ll give you three guesses…”
The crowd waited with baited breath as Robin’s hands dropped the ladder and their eyes widened as a figure approached but groaned when it was Nami but then widened as Chopper came and said something that made their eyes bug out, “Hey everyone! He’s coming!” And they cheered as another figure approached and half of them swooned when they saw that it WAS Usopp!
“Usopp-Sama!” The other half chorused, making Usopp smile sheepishly, waving. He always whined about not having any Fangirls, but seeing this many made him embarrassed! They loved him! They really loved him! “Usopp-Sama! We got you lots of gifts! Come down! Come down and we can throw you your party!”
“M… my party?” Usopp asked, looking down at the crowd.
They all nodded, “Happy Birthday, Usopp-Sama!” The group shouted, pulling out multiple objects, including party hats, confetti (Luffy and Chopper were happy), balloons and presents! “Usopp-Sama! Tell us all about your wonderful adventures!” They proclaimed.
Usopp stood on the Going Merry Go, staring down at everyone, his eyes wide. They… they really… did… “I know!” He shouted, practically leaping OFF of the ship to get to his party faster, “I can tell you about the time I defeated Miss Merry Christmas and Mr. 4 AT THE SAME TIME!” Chopper sighed as the crowd cheered, noticing that he conveniently left out the reindeer’s name…
“See? See, Usopp-Kun?” The Straw Hats looked down at the party as one of the Fangirls showed Usopp to his birthday present, “I made a Mary Sue JUST for you!”
Sanji chuckled under his breath as Usopp wiped a tear from his eye, “It’s… it’s just what I always wanted…”
The Straw Hat pirates had joined the festivities only shortly after Usopp was bombarded with his presents, which mostly included tons of gunpowder. He told countless stories of his adventures, and the fans laughed at the extra “additives” he gave, such as Eneru being defeated by him simply because he weakened the “god” enough to be defeated by Luffy, which really didn’t make much sense, but the fans didn’t mind. They thanked Sanji as he prepared their meal, and they thanked Zoro as they had him cut the wood for the fire. There were only a few scrapes during the party, but Chopper was sure to fix them up so they wouldn’t get infected. Luffy partied with the group, and Nami sighed at the fact that most of the fans were all broke on presents they had bought for Usopp. The festivities lasted all day…
…and well into the next day, Usopp’s birthday. Morning arrived, and Nami blinked at the Log Pose as the Fancharacters happily loaded the Going Merry Go with tons of food (“Make it LOTS of meat!” Luffy crowed), and stood up, “Hey, everyone!” She cried, pointing at the pose, her eyes wide, “It’s… it’s pointing at the next island!”
“Awww! Does that mean we have to leave?” Luffy asked, “I didn’t explore enough yet!”
“You explored plenty,” Robin murmured gently as Zoro stalked past the captain towards the Going Merry Go. Luffy and several of Usopp’s Fanboys chuckled silently to each other, remembering the adventures they had on the island during the party. The Fancharacters all sniffled when they heard that the Straw Hats were leaving, and many of the Fangirls glommed onto their favorite character, crying out “Don’t go!” The one in the front was his present, the Mary Sue, who gave the Straw Hats big, puppy dog eyes, “Please, please!” She cried, “Let me come with you! I want to be with Usopp, my one true love!” The sniper blushed as Sanji and Zoro began to fight.
“She’s a pretty woman, and she wants to come, so she’s COMING!”
“If we bring HER along, we’ll have to bring all the OTHER Sues, and GOD FORBID we sink the poor ship with WOMEN fawning over you!”
“What about YOU? All they do is make a bunch of Nami-San clones that swoon at the sight of you! Why the HELL would Nami-San want to love a Marimo like YOU?”
“Same for YOU, Dartboard Eyebrow!”
“NOW you’ve done it! You want some of this? HUH?”
“Hurry! We’re heading off!” Luffy said, “Goodbye, everyone! I can’t wait to see you again! See you next year!”
“NEXT YEAR!” The crowd screamed, waving as the pirates boarded the Going Merry Go, “You’d better not make fun of Usopp-Sama, or else the next time we meet, we’ll gut you all alive!”
Zoro laughed aloud, “I can’t wait to see THAT!” He said as the dragged the anchor up from the ocean. The ship slid from the beach, and Nami shouted aloud:
“We’re off! Everyone, let’s go!” Luffy shouted from atop his special seat. The Straw Hats waved one final farewell to Usopp’s loyal followers, and the ship sailed off into the sea. Usopp leaned against the railing, exhausted, and his captain chuckled in his sniper’s direction, “Happy birthday, Usopp!”
Usopp chuckled, “Thanks a lot, Luffy…”
“HEEEEEEY!” The Straw Hats heard Nami squealing at a Delivery Pelican, who was trying to yank back the envelope the navigator had gotten hold of. Sanji gave the pelican a swift kick to the head for giving his dear Nami-San future grey hairs, and the bird decided the envelope wasn’t important enough, and flew away in a huff. Nami took the letter in her hands, and looked at who it was addressed to, “Hey! Usopp, it’s for you! From…” She grinned devilishly, “K-A-Y-A…”
“Kaya!” Usopp exclaimed, leaping up and rushing over to Nami. Luffy laughed aloud as the sniper snatched the letter from the navigator’s hands (making Sanji roar threateningly at his Nakama), and he used his fingernail to cleanly open it, ignoring the slight paper cut it gave him. He practically ripped the paper out and read through the letter. It read thusly:
Dear Usopp-San:
Hello! It’s me, Kaya. I’ve been going outside a lot more. Merry says I have a tan, but I think he’s just trying to make me feel better. It’s really lonely here without you, Usopp-San, although your wonderful pirate crew has been keeping me company. I’m going to be a doctor, did you know? I want to show you my skills when you come home. I know it’s going to be a long time until you return, but I can wait. However, I may get impatient and come find you myself! I’m joking, silly. Merry was so scared when I told him that joke. “Kaya-Ojousama, a pirate?” He nearly flipped his lid! Anyway, what I wanted to tell you was that I miss you lots, and I wanted to wish you a very happy birthday. Hopefully this will get to you on your birthday. I told them to deliver it on April Fool’s Day. They thought I was playing a prank! I’ll… wait for you forever to return, so promise me you will, Usopp-San.
Much Love;
Kaya.
Usopp smiled at the letter, a tear forming in his eye, “K… Kaya… I wish I could be there to cheer you up…” He looked around at his Nakama, giant tears falling from his eyes, “Everyone… this is the best birthday I’ve EVER had!”
The Straw Hat Pirates smiled at their sniper, and he grinned widely, “And, you know what? It’s kinda funny…” The pirates blinked at Usopp, and he laughed aloud, “You ALL fell for it! I wasn’t worried at ALL about my birthday, and you went out of your way to make sure my birthday was better than all of yours put together! APRIL FOOLS!”
He continued to smile, but suddenly blinked when he saw the stares he was getting, “H… hey, Sanji… it was just a joke, you know? April Fools! Hahaha! It’s supposed to be funny! Huh? Zoro…?”
Robin flipped a page of her book as Sanji and Zoro rushed after their sniper, “I’ll KILL you!” Was what the resounding voices exclaimed. The Grand Line was lively once again…
THE END!

Throws off Third Person Cloak OMG oh no double post! runs in circles
Anyways, here is, by far, my favorite AU I've written so far. It's called "The Bard's Song", and is an alternate universe based off of a world I created for a pen and paper RPG (named BESM, if you care) that is based off of old console RPGs (based based based based… Yeah, bad joke...)
The characters are actually not completely themselves, as they are melded together with original characters from my RPG world. I'll introduce new characters and my thoughts on them as I continue releasing chapters. The thing I am most proud of is how the familiar characters are so different, and yet still the same. I truly think you guys will enjoy the story, as it incorperates both traditional plots but original twists. Please, READ ON!
The link to the story (wheee): http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2768622/1/
My thoughts on each of the chapters (may contain slight spoilers, so if you want to read, it might be good if you read the chapter and then went to the thoughts):
Prologue part 1: My friend, Digi, wanted a story that was "About Zoro being repulsed by Tashigi" as she doesn't like ZoroxTashigi. It went from there, and increased much past it. The characters that will be recognizable are:
Roronoa Zoro: Prince of Treson, who is a kingdom of perfectly beautiful/handsome people. Unfortunately, the kingdom is also famous for its inept guardsmen. This means he is not trained well in his Mastermade Katana, which were made upon the day of his birth, and cannot even use one well. His dream is to become a great swordsman like his guardian, Chakra, and become a benevolent king of his land. Zoro was based off of Jacob, a prince who, instead of keeping his sword, became a lancer. Jacob is rather soft spoken and doesn't enjoy fighting if he can use diplomacy instead.
Roronoa Kuina: In this Alternate Universe, Kuina never died, although she nearly encountered a near death experience when she almost fell down a flight of marble stairs. She was saved by her mother, the now deceased Queen of Treson. Princess Kuina, sister to Zoro, is not a swordswoman, and slightly spoiled. She is two years older than Zoro, although her slight size and build suggest otherwise. She does not like men much, thinking most of them to be pig headed. Despite her desire to be a tomboy, she is slightly romantic, and wishes for a handsome knight to be her one true love… Kuina is based off of Princess Jenna, who is rather loud mouthed and annoying. At the beginning of the game, she acted like a spoiled brat, but adventuring has taught her the hardships of battle, and she not acts a lot better about her place in the group.
Monkey D. Luffy: A wizard (or Black Mage) who can cast elemental magic, including the powerful Dark spell, which can transport enemies to the Dark Realm, where the mortal spends all eternity in a senseless void. In this world, magic of any kind can only be used by demons, so people fear Luffy's ability. Luffy is also cursed with a strange flesh deteriorating curse. At the moment, his flesh is the consistancy of clay, and can be shaped and molded to his desire. In a few years, the curse will claim his life, turning his flesh into a liquid consistancy, destroying his very being. To counter this, Luffy intends to kill the man who gave him the curse, the Shadow Master. Luffy was based off of James, who, in the actual game, is 10. James does not have the clay curse, and he uses a slingshot as a weapon. He also is really egotistical, to the point of being rather annoying.
Chakra: Yes yes, his name is Chaka. I know. It's not Chaka anymore. I'm not going back through it and redoing his name. It's an Alternate Universe, his mom named him something else. In the original game, he was a younger, nameless guard who was "One of the best swordsmen in Treson", and had a crush on Princess Jenna. Not much else to say about him, since he's not a main character.
Bon Clay: Bon Clay is Kuina's bodyguard, and, as the story begins, is also her kidnapper. He was based off of "The best swordsman in Treson", Biblin. Biblin was supposed to be insane, but I don't know if I portrayed this very well in Bon Clay's character... shrug
Tashigi: Tashigi is, unlike Kuina, a swordswoman, although you won't see it NOW. She has no original character, like her father, Duke Smoker. She will play a slight part later on, but for now, just watch as she disappears from the limelight.
Prologue Part 2: This was one of my first attempts to make a really REAL serious scene. Luffy is a little more emotional in this, which I both enjoy depicting and am mad at, as it doesn't seem to fit him with me... Do you like it that way? Anyway, the one character that appears here is:
Chopper: Chopper is Bon Clay's "pet" polymorphed into a humanoid reindeer by Luffy. Through the beginning of many chapters here on out, he will be part of his own "Chopper Mini Arc" which is Oda-Esque in appearance. I liked it. Whether Chopper will be able to transform into other forms has not been decided by me yet. Chopper was based off of "La Chupicabra", the Goat Eater, whose nickname was "Chubie". Chubie, unlike Chopper, was killed, but everything else is rather the same about them in this part.
Chapter 1: This was filled with more serious content as well, but it was balanced out with Sanji and Usopp's arrival! throws confetti in the air This one focused on everyone, which I liked doing. I just hope the scenes flowed decently. What do you think?
Sanji: A decendant of Gold Roger, the savior of the world, the man who defeated the Devil's Advocate. All of the decendants of the man, who died hundreds of years ago, are spread thinly through the world, the only thing uniting them as family is their ability to carry three strange swords: The Plexiglas Sword, their weapon of choice; the Glass Sword, their weapon of desperation that deals tons of damage but breaks upon contact with practically anything; and the Diamond Sword, which is like the Glass Swords in power but unbreakable. Only Gold Roger could wield this sword, but Sanji is sure he can find and use the Diamond Sword to defeat the evils of the world. Sanji was based off of Joseph, who is actually the main character of the story. This means the story, on many occasions, focuses directly on Sanji as opposed to Luffy.
Usopp: Of the family of the Great Blacksmiths and swordsmen. Usopp's father, Yasopp, was once a great adventurer who fought great battles and was once known as one of the greatest adventurers in the world. Usopp desires to be like his father and brother, but now is simply a "Newbie adventurer", tagging along to gain some experience from Sanji. Usopp is rather different from the other characters, mostly because he switches from weapon to weapon (slingshot to bow/arrow to sword) much unlike the others, who hardly ever change their weapons. Also, he is "cursed" by making women of all types fall in love him, just because. This causes rifts between Sanji, who is a ladies man, and the poor sniper... Usopp was based off the mercenary Jeremy, who actually used "Swordchucks", two swords connected by a chain. Jeremy also had the estrogen attracting curse.
A/N: if you can find out who the Shadow Master is now, I commend you. bow =)
Chapter 2: This chapter isn't as appealing to me, mostly because this story is my way of practicing action scenes, which I'm not good at. Because there is not much action in this... Also, I love:
Nami: is a bard. In most console RPGs (Like Final Fantasy), bards are useless, and EVERY group needs a useless character in an RPG! It's tradition! Nami is, in many extents, useful in everything BUT fighting, but in RPG terms, that doesn't matter. For now, her past is a mystery. She is based off of a male bard, Furenti. Furenti is unlike Nami a lot, as he is kind, almost to the point of annoyance. He and James usually fight a lot.
Laki: Laki was... strange. I was thinking of a bit character when throwing her in (her original character was Rosa, who is, in essence, even less of a character than Laki is now). Then, I added more, such as her relation to Sanji and her friends, Wiper, Kamakiri and stuff. They will appear later on. Overall, I liked making Laki, and liked the part she played in this story, even though she is never actually seen alive.
Chapter 3: I enjoyed the scenes with Vivi more than the boss fight in this chapter. I didn't like it that much, because darkness fighting was strange for me and really, I don't think many people have done it either. For those who don't play Final Fantasy, many Chocobos that play important parts in the story are called "Choco", so now thay're Caruebos. It's... a bad pun, but a pun nonetheless. Anyway:
Nefertari Vivi: Owner of the Caruebo Ranch. She is helpful and eventually follows the group in an attempt to teach them new things such as "Near Death Strikes" and "How to utilize Usopp's 'Run' Technique to it's full extent". Her speech is littered with "Push the X button in conjuction with the L button for..." which no one ever understands, but somehow do. Her character was originally the young nameless woman who could teleport in and out of a scene to teach new RPG phrases.
Carue: A Caruebo. Other than being Vivi's favorite Caruebo and adorable as freak, he plays no other real part other than being Vivi's mount. At random intervals, the party sometimes attempts to ride him at once, which leads to disasterous results.
Chapter 4: This is, by far, my favorite chapter. Mostly because I LOVE Usopp and Sanji in this, and a Sanji battle is awesome. Yeah, I know, no Usopp battle. We'll get to that later... No characters to introduce here.
This is where I really started puttering out. I like this story, but I'm beginning to slow down on its writing. Please be patient as I write more. And if you want more, assault me on IM and force me to write. Pretty much one of the only ways you can get me to work when I really stop working as fast as usual =)
Please, give me feedback. Tell me what you like and don't like. I usually write funny things, so a serious/action-y story is hard for me to do, and I need the practice. If something seemed weird or out of place, tell me. I NEED feedback! I neeeeeeed it! chokes on not enough of it
Shut up, it makes sense, in my own little way...
Puts her Third Person Cloak back on and slinks off
Poooor poooor Piccolo…
But jeez, you guys, Christy says look above at the title, big neon sign above Christy reads "BONUS MATCH" as she points at it which means "it's all for fun, and fun for all". Piccolo still pwned everyone else, as he should have, and Christy says let's just all have fun and watch as Usopp suddenly whips out Impact and sends green blood flying.
Jeebs, if you put this on a DB forum, it would be like OMG so much the other way. Christy would laugh so much, and feel so so so sorry for her baby SogeKing.
Wow, such good cosplays! That's really awesome! Christy always thinks cosplayers are always so inovative and resourceful when using accessories and cloths. Good work, Kaya! Christy wants more soon! =)
Christy says "Welcome!" And have fun! We're all friends here, and we're always happy to have more friends! =)
Christy is so using that Zoro wallpaper. Noooo! All the rum is gooooone! cry
Yay downloading noooooow! Christy is excited! Is excited like Taboo's Alternate Universe Zoro =)
That makes him 31 actually :P
slams head on keyboard Dammit, Christy, it's 2006! SIXXXX! goes off to eat some brain food or something.
How old is Oda?
Pretty young, actually. He was born on Jan 1, 1975. Which means he's 30, if Christy is not mistaken.
Christy believes he probably came down with an illness like the flu or something. He will probably be well in a few days to a week. Christy says not to worry, as that will lead to sadness, and that will lead to depression, and the last thing this world needs is more emos.
Bright happy sunshine flowers, for Oda will be well soon! Wheeeee! =)
@omae:
So…like the first game?
laugh That's what Christy figure. Seriously, though, Sephiroth has to stop being the ultimate boss. It'd be MUCH cooler if Kefka came to kill people.
Dude, if you have to fight a clown who wears makeup and a pony tail and only wears a towel when you fight him as a last boss, no one could beat him, they'd be too busy shielding their eyes. THAT is the ultimate ultimate boss, for sure.
But then again, Christy is only dreaming sniff
I don't get what you mean by that.
Christy simply meant that you weren't going to make one each week. That was it. shrug
Third Person Cloak GONE!
Alright, here we go. This is my first real actual voice acting outside of the comfort of my own RPG playing. I do believe I could be a good VA with the proper training, so I practice at intervals of random. My friend, Digital Dreamer, writes an angsty story about Kuro torturing Luffy. It's called Dominoes (OMG link! http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2587084/1/ ). If you frequent Fanfiction.Net's OP fanfic place, you will most likely have seen this story. My friend also started making a "condensed" version which is more funny than angsty. We decided I should do the voices for it for fun, but it's also for practice.
My thoughts on this are that I really DID want to make the characters sound remotely like their original Seiyuus, but even I can't be that perfect, so I just did my best. I know Luffy sounds girlish, but Digi says he's the Uke in this ZoLu story so it's okay shrug If you have any constructive critism (aside from "Make Zoro sound more like a dude, chick"), then please, tell me how you think I can improve! What do you think the characters should sound like? Was a certain part too fast? Slow? Did some sound weird or loud at some places? Tell me stuff so I can know!

Also, here is the "Script" because it's nice to know what I'm saying at some points:
-Prologue-
Luffy: Ace…um…why are we playing Dominoes?
Ace: Because it’s symbolic and ties in with the title, now shut up.
Luffy: Um, kay.
Ace: Blahblahblah Dominoes blahblahblah symbolism blahblahblah one thing leads to another blahblahblah readers be paying attention, this is supposedly important…
Luffy: …the title still makes no sense. And I’m hungry now.
Ace: Just enjoy what little non-angst this fic has, will you?
Luffy: Kay~!
-Chapter One-
Sanji: Ohhhh, it’s a new day, but it all feels old~!
Usopp: It’s a good life,that’s what I’m told~!
Chopper: But everything, it all just feels the saaaaame~!
Robin: …O…kay…aside from the random musical, something does seem weird…where’s Captain-san?
Nami: I’d say he’s off making out with Zoro, but we haven’t reached that part of the fic yet.
Sanji: He must still be sleeping, you must’ve really tired him out last night marimo. Geez, I know he’s rubber, but you shouldn’t be too rough when you–
Zoro: I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING! >_O
Sanji: Suuuure you didn’t.
Zoro: Whatever, I’ll go check on him, anything for an excuse to go stare at my blatant love interest even though I won’t admit it.
Luffy: Zzzzz…
Zoro: …wow, if I weren’t in complete and utter denial over my gay side, I’d totally jump him right about now.
Luffy: …Bwa? Zoro?
Zoro: Wha? Oh um…hi…Luffy…no I was not just staring at you or thinking any unpure thoughts about you because I am not gay.
Luffy: Oh…kay…wow, I feel…really hot…and achy…and…ow…but I can’t be sick…
Zoro: Of course not, it’s just a plot device. It’ll pass in no time—I mean, um…I am worried and am failing to pretend not to be…
Luffy: I’m fine! I will go eat food now….or not, since I’m not hungry….
Everyone: GASPSHOCKOMGWTFBBQ!?
Luffy: Right, see you all. I’m going to go sit on my special seat and uh….pass out now…
Zoro: I followed Luffy out here to see if I could play hero because of that horrible plot device he seems to be coming down with and—OH SHIT I WAS RIGHT!
Cliffhanger: Hi readers, you’ll get to know me very fast in this fanfic.
-Chapter TWO-
Usopp: Ohhhh, it’s the end of the world as we know it~!
Nami: No it’s not.
Zoro: You’re all insane. I’m going to go outside to conveniently be around when that plot device makes Luffy fall into the ocean and stuff.
Luffy: WHEE, WATER~! I can’t stretch!
Zoro: DIVEMUSTSAVELUFFY
Luffy: DROWNDROWN
Zoro: OMGMUSTSAVELUFFY
Luffy: DROWNDROWN
Zoro: OMGMUSTSAVE—oh, got him.
Chopper: He has hikemeia
Everyone: …what?
Chopper: It’s a plot device that makes him lose his powers.
Everyone: …oh.
Chopper: Also it conveniently gives him these angsty marks of massive symbolism on his back and stuff.
Luffy: I think I’m allergic to symbolism, these things itch…
Nami: Well…something tells me this is going to be an angsty week or so.
Zoro: Yes, but at least it gives me an excuse to stay near Luffy and please the fangirls.
ZoLu Fangirls: YAY NOW THEY CAN HAVE SECKS!
-Chapter three-
ZoLu Fangirls: …No secks?
Sanji: None what-so-ever. You do get some massive crew-angst all around, though.
Usopp: I’m going to walk in radiating angst like some sort of angst marshmallow.
Sanji: Cool, I’ll be inspirational now.
Usopp: Yay, I’m less angsty!
Sanji: Good, now that you’re not as angsty you can help me cut mushrooms.
Usopp: ...so this was all a ploy to get me to help in the kitchen? You suck.
Robin: I'm back from the center of angst.
Nami: Oh, yay. We're reaching a new island soon, five hundred belli says whoever caused all this angst is there and ready to cause more.
Robin: I'll take that bet.
Nami: Robin, what was it like to have hikemeia?
Robin: Like I'd just been dumped in the middle of a bad angst fic, complete with Linkin Park lyrics placed in random places to disrupt the flow of me randomly being abused and/or angsting over how pathetic I am.
Nami: ...oh...
Zoro: SIGHANGSTLUFFYISSICK
Zoro: ...hey, Luffy is kind of cute when he's sleeping-- I did not just think that. I'm not gay, I'm not gay, I'm not gay.
ZoLu Fangirls: Denial.
Luffy: Bwuh, Shanks?
Zoro: ...um...does my hair look red to you?
Luffy: Shaaaaaanks, wheee!
Zoro: ...if I didn't know you were sick already I'd want to know exactly what Sanji's been putting into your food...um...uh...yeah, I'm Shanks!
Luffy: Blahblahblah I'm stonger now blahblah angst sorry I'm sick blahblahblah my crew is awesome blahblahblah Zoro is awesome blahblahblah
Zoro: I am playing along and-- oh hey, I get to hold his hand now. See, all this angst DOES have it's perks!
Shadowy-Figure-Who-Is-Not-Kuro: So, did my evil plan work?
Person on Den Den Mushi: Yup, they're ten times angstier than usual.
SFWINK: EXCELLANT! I will suffocate them in angst until NOTHING IS LEFT!
PoDDM: ...You're the most obvious villian ever, you know that? All the readers already know who you are.
SFWINK: SILENCE! FEEL THE ANGST!
And remember, everything here is used WITH PERMISSION! Wheee! Disclaimers! I don't own Dominoes or OP or anything but her VOICE. Which is awesome, and weird.
places the Third Person Cloak back on
@omae:
Yeah I just read IGN and Game Spot. Sounds like an easy game. Have to crank that difficulty up a notch.
Wouldn't they have a "Hard" version after you beat it like in KH1? Christy believes so. Perhaps then it will be harder and better. Christy remembers beating KH1 for her sister so she could play it on hard. Christy's sister refused to play it easy mode because she would have gotten bored. The sister is funny because she'll make sure it's so hard she can't beat it. giggle
Good day, Megchan! Christy says "Welcome!" and hopes that you have lots of fun! What is your favorite character? Christy's is Carue, because he's so brave and is a DUCK. Christy supposes your favorite is Vivi, judging by your avatar giggle Hellooooo again! =)
@aka_nami:
are they going to more?
Hai, definately. They just can't do them in superfast mode like scary 4Kids can. Dragon Warrior, Christy is waiting for more! =)
@Pass:
Mickey dies! :biggrin:
laugh OMG NO he was Christy's FAVORITE bishi! NOW who will be king of the land of Mickeyness? Maybe SORA Gasporz spoilers! rushes away
Dude, Christy wants some One Piece cosplayers to come to HER Renaissance Faire down in Southern Cali! All she gets are Storm Troopers! SOOOO not as sexy as Zoro!
She once got a Unicorn lady though, and there were a few samurai people, and one should could SWEAR was Mugen, but bottom line, NO OP cosplayers… grumble
Cosplaying is not Christy's favorite pastime, but she loves looking at all the other cosplayers! Not that she ever DOES go to conventions... But still...
Dude, it's so true! If someone gets a scar, for no reason EVER, it makes them sexy, especially if it's the main character. That's silly, Christy thinks. Why isn't Squall the epitome of ugliness? He got half his FACE cut in half! Jeebs…
Anyway, Christy is done ranting. She adores the omake, Advent! She agrees with it as well, and she loves the little sparklies! giggle Keep it up, Advent! =)
Yay AWB1 has RETUUUUUUUURNED! hug Glad you're back =)
Christy wishes she knew more about Fone Bone. Spider-Man, Christy votes for you!
Christy is glad a new friend has come and that this new friend is having fun! Yay! Now we can go do something awesome like hugging puppies or beating up mean people!
Christy talks like the girls in Vandread . . . . .
Christy wonders if that's a bad thing… =)
Christy doesn't know if this has been said, but a sad anime she saw was Final Fantasy: Unlimited. It was nice and fun towards the beginning, but then the BUDGET CUTS made it end in three episodes and made it make no sense. It could have been a whole lot better, but no one liked it, apparently. Christy thought the bad guys were on crack enough to be funny, but still like, original. That was cool. And the Chocobo went "KWEEEEEEH!" Which was awesome. But it was sucky later on, and that was sad. sniff
Richard thinks this game will be quite fun and a couple of hours ago Richard saw a commercial for kingdom hearts and it looks real good. Richard is glad he got to pre order it (Richard just wanted to try it out it makes Richard feel important)
Richard is stealing Christy's bit! Nuuuuuuuuu!
However, Christy is sad, she can't preorder KH2. She doesn't have the money now and must wait until her next paycheck sniff
Hey, when Christy got KH1, it had been out for like, two years. So at least she's getting this one earlier!
Christy agrees with Kaasan. It actually sounds like it'd be a decent game, you know, if you like it and stuff. Christy guesses it could try and appeal to some of the parents. She can just imagine teenagers rushing out to get it for their parents in an attempt to show them how fun video games can be laugh
Waiiiiii! Chopper with bubbles! My pets all love to play with bubbles, so it's obvious Chopper would love them too. That's so adorable! =)
Christy says that slightly edited guns are fine. Most of the time, aside from maybe a cinematic or two, people will probably not even notice it. Disney is good at being subtle about a few edits. It hasn't been racist and changed all the black peoples' colors and it hasn't removed any form of violence and they haven't changed Sora's name to "Sola" so we're ALL fine.
Although, back in the old days, with Beauty and the Beast, Gaston stabs the beast and OMG there's BLOOD. What Christy wouldn't do for everyone to be able to not go insane over an ounce of red goo on a person's cloak. Everything is "OMG Violence we're all DOOM-ED!"
@gilrules2000:
charlett, you really remind me of a girl who went to japan with me. She was kind of wierd…
laugh Christy gets that alot. She does not mind, as weird = unique, and unique = AWESOME. =)
And, third person is cool on a forum but in reality its a little weird.:wacko:
Yeah, it can be pretty weird in real life. Good thing Christy doesn't do it then! phew!
Glomps Taboo Christy hearts YOUR work too, Taboooooo! heart =)

places her Third Person Cloak back on Heeeeee! =)
@omae:
Fun fact: animals and lower life-forms refer to themselves in third person in Japanese.
PHEW! Thank goodness Christy isn't Japanese. Otherwise she'd be a plant or something. She is an American MUTT! ruff ruff! OH NO! She IS an animal! A doggy! gasporz! =)
Seriously, she thinks that fighting with all these awesome characters is fun. She saw fighting with Mulan! Christy loves Mulan so much! so excited about KH2 coming out!
No harm done, Kaasan. Christy isn't mad. She's giggling! giggle She remembers a wolf lady in an anime who spoke in third person. Christy thinks she's copying that wolf lady! =)
Halo! Christy says hello to the forum and hopes you have lots of fun! yay!
Christy is a ONE PIECE Otaku! And an RPG Otaku as well. But really, not much of an anime one. Christy doesn't like anime as much as a lot of people, and doesn't watch too much of it. shrug
But wave a good RPG in front of her nose and she RUSHES after it lightning quick! RPGs! heart
Hurrah for a new friend! Christy says hello, Lily! hug May you post lots and have lots of fun! Yay!
*Throws off the Third Person Cloak for a moment)
I enjoy drawing when I desire, so instead of making the thread "Fanart" or "Fanfictions" it will be "Fanmedia!" Everyone can be happy then or something. As I also tend to do voice acting as a hobby, especially at my friends' desires (They all say I do a good male voice, but they must be missing a few screws).
Anyway, the first article of business is my now pretty much finished (Gasp) story, an Alternate Universe called One Piece: Kids. The story behind it is rather strange, actually. If any of you have found an OP doujinshi under the same name, you might know something slightly like this. After reading the first one, I laughed at how stupidly childish it was. My friend asked me to write a story about a younger Sanji, and so I started to work, weaving the One Piece: Kids doujinshi's storyline into one brewing in my head. This is the result. At first I only wanted to do one or two short stories, but ended up doing four. As the Kids start turning into adults, they begin to mature, and the stories range from strange and silly to moralistic, so there should be at least ONE story in here that you enjoy. Check it out, I'm sure you'll love it!
The link to this story is: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2716762/1/
And, without further ado: READ ON!
dons the Third Person Cloak once more You guys don't like Christy's Third Person Cloak, do you? =)
