One Piece: Unreal Adventure-Chapter 57: Johnny and Yosaku

"Nami, can you take us over to that rock?"

Nami looked confused but did as she was asked.

As they pulled up next to the rock formation, someone jumped onto their ship. "Damn pirates! First, you attack us while we're vulnerable, and now you show up to finish the job! It won't be that easy," he shouted angrily before catching sight of Zoro. "Big Bro Zoro? Big sis Kuina?" Johnny questioned, pushing himself into a sitting position. "What are you guys doing here? Why are you all on a pirate ship?" then he looked at the odd six-armed monkey. "And who's the monkey."

"Relax, that's Sparky. One of my crewmates." Zoro said boringly. "but first where's Yosaku?"

"I... He's..." Johnny started crying and rushed to the side of the ship where another, smaller boat was hooked to the Going Merry. On the boat was a man whose skin was a sickly, unhealthy white. He had a shaved head covered with a red helmet and he was dressed in a black shirt under a green trench coat. The man also wore yellow and red plaid shorts and brown boots. A bloody bandage was wrapped around his waist and his head was bleeding slowly, a puddle already pooling below him. This was Yosaku, Johnny's bounty-hunting partner.

"He looks bad!" Coby fretted, and Usopp gaped at his sides.

"We were just minding our own business!" Johnny explained, "Yosaku has been getting sick lately and old injuries started opening again for no reason. He collapsed last night and hasn't gotten any better since!"

"Give it to me straight, Big Bro," Johnny cried as he fell to his knees beside his friend. "Is Yosaku gonna die?"

"Now don't think that," Zoro tried to reason. Nami made herself known to the rest of the group, walking up to and examining the injured man.

"You're all a bunch of morons," she announced. "You." She pointed at the youngest of the crew. "We've got a bunch of limes in the storage room. Bring some up. You. Johnny, right? Your partner has scurvy."

"Scurvy?" Johnny blinked. "Will he be ok, Big Sis?"

"For One, he hasn't been eating right, so he doesn't have enough vitamin C in his bloodstream and should be fine if we get fruit into him soon enough. For Two don't call me Sis."

"Yeah, call her a babe." Luffy retorted with arms crossed and nodding. "She likes it."

Nami tried to hit Luffy, but like paper blowing in the wind, it was dodged. She clicked her tongue. "Also three: Don't listen to anything Luffy says. Definitely not calling me babe."

"We're back, Nami!" Coby announced, he and Usopp emerging from the storage room. He carried with him, limes falling from the basket in his hands on account of his shaking arms. Under Nami's guidance, Usopp and Coby began squeezing juice from the limes into Yosaku's mouth.

"How long will this take?" Coby asked. "Scurvy could be a death sentence on a ship. I've had it before and was lucky to survive." Yosaku below him sprung to his feet, startling a scream out of Coby and Usopp, both of whom jumped behind Luffy.

"Yosaku!" Johnny yelled.

"Johnny!" Yosaku answered, the men locking arms.

The two cheered, dancing together. "Hooray, hooray!"

"You can't be that healthy instantly!" Nami yelled, flabbergasted. "That's not how biology works!"

Luffy would have laughed at the scene. If not for the fact that Yosaku has some real talent in the Kami-e Seimei Kikan department. His body was unconsciously able to take the medicine to full effect. That would even take Kami-e practitioner some bit of effort, more so when you were at that stage of Scurvy. Now wasn't that interesting?

Maybe the two of them would be up for a carrier change.

"Allow us to introduce ourselves," Johnny said, either ignoring or not hearing the orange-haired navigator. "I'm Johnny."

"And I'm Yosaku!" his partner added, before they locked arms around each other's shoulders.

"And together, we are the best bounty-hunting duo in the universe!"

"Big Bro Zoro used to be one of us, too. And Big Sis Kuina also helped us a few times when we got stuck in some situations..." Johnny continued after their announcement, him and Yosaku disentangling from each other. Johnny continued, "Never thought we'd find you guys on a pirate ship, though."

"Thank you." Johnny and Yosaku said at the same time as they turned back to Zoro and Kuina. Both of them seemed to be training, and after both of them explained how Luffy had made them join his crew. And it made both bounty hunter see the straw hat boy in new light.

Luffy was sitting at the head of the ship, while his weapons were wrapped around his back in a cross formation. "We need a cook!" Suddenly the boy called out, spinning around and looking at Johnny.

"A cook?" Johnny said. "In that case, I know the perfect place. It's a little hard to track down since it moves around on the sea, but it's said to be one of the best restaurants in the world. It's supposed to be near the Grand Line right now, and there have also been rumors that a certain hawk-eyed man is in the general area."

Zoro's eyes widened. "Which way?" he demanded.

"Come on, why would he be in these waters." Kuina found the rumor skeptical. She had gone to four blues, Hawkeye would rarely leave the grandline.

"Still, we have to get there." Zoro said.

"Well, lucky for you. I know the place." Nami interrupted. "One of the best restaurants in the world? The only one I've heard about in the East Blue that moves is called the Baratié, right?"

"That's it," Johnny nodded. "Yosaku and I have been there a few times and it's never disappointed. Last we heard it was anchored to the north of here. It's a restaurant at sea."

"A restaurant at sea?" Usopp asked curiously. There certainly were a lot of strange things in the world.

"Shishishi! We are going there anyway, one of nakama's there. So Let's go," Luffy said punching the air.

"But... Big bro Luffy, haven't you heard the rumors?" Yosaku asked. That grabbed there attention.

"Rumors other then Mihawk being there?" Now Luffy was interested.

The bounty hunter nodded. "There's a rumor that they relocated their restaurant a bit towards the calm belt... cause the area ran out of sea-kings." He finished.

"S-Sea Kings!" Coby and Usopp said in unison. "But why?"

Johnny nodded, "Apparently, they cook them there." He said, shivering while holding his arms.

"They cook them?!" Coby said.

"They ran out of it?!" Usopp said, even paler.

"And we are going there?!" Nami added.

Nami, Coby and Usopp looked at Luffy, who just grinned, "Can we please not go there?"

"Of course not!" Luffy said, placing his feet on to the railing of the ship, "Set sail, mates... we are going on an adventure." He said, grandly, before looking at his three warry crewmates, "Also, if we are scared of some big fish, then how will you be able to conquer our dreams? And trust me we will be fine..." Oh, Luffy was internally laughing at his own statement.

And the three of his crewmates felt assured. Poor them, falling for Luffy's smooth talk.

Anyway, it wouldn't be his first time eating Sea King. They tasted great. Sparky also seemed be drolling like Luffy.

"You should be able to get there in a couple of days," Johnny said warily, while some of them gave him a dirty look. "But you have to be careful. This place is kind of close to the Grand Line, so there is no shortage of dangerous adversaries."
