The Devil's Grin - A One Piece Fanfic (Snail-like Updates)

Everyone Else

D appeared on a island populated by a giant tree reaching into the sky. The moment he appeared he was surprised to find himself trampled by a crowd of locals chasing after a familiar reindeer mistaken as a raccoon. It was amazing what you could pick up on when experiencing unexpected massage by stomping.

D began to pull himself out of the mini crater when he found himself being stomped even further into the ground by the just recently passing group running the other way being chased by massive birds. And to think he had just had his cloak dry cleaned.

Things didn't end there though as his body was yanked out of the hole by a power gust of wind as the giant birds flew back the way he came. And as expected, he was trampled a third time when the locals chased the birds with better weapons than before.

This was getting annoying.

Chopper had managed to find a hiding place when the large birds had shown up again. Hopefully this time he would be able to hide long enough to find a way off the island before the hungry locals found him, again. This was the third time in the last eighteen hours that he had been chased around. This time felt more rushed than in the past. As if it's only purpose for someone else's entertainment. It even felt as if he had ran over someone.

"That's cause you guys did," a dangerously calm voice spoke up behind him.

"Gajdkffgh!?!?" He jumped into the air as he felt like his skin had been left behind.

"Hm?" The previously fighting natives and birds looked at him as he fell back to the ground.

Before Chopper realized what was going on he was running away from the both of them as they had hungry looks in their eyes.

°°°°°°

D watched the running reindeer before chuckling. "That should keep him busy for a while. He shouldn't die either with the little protection charm I slipped in his pocket. It is the stronger type afterall."

The thing would keep him from experiencing actual life threatening situations. Instead everything would have a more comical twist to it while the charm recorded the entire thing. He was looking forward to watching it later on when everyone got together again.

Brook was scribbling furiously as he composed the perfect song to help these villagers. If they played this song before their foes it would have an amazing effect. It would be able to get their feelings across and peace would practically be guaranteed.

"Yohohoho!" He couldn't help laughing excitedly as he imagined the scene.

The only downside was the fact that he was surrounded by old men flashing their underwear at him while chanting ominously. He really did wish it was the lovely lady from earlier but she was out preparing a victory meal. A true pity. She probably had lovely panties.

"Wah! Lord Satan! Wah! Lord Satan! Wah! Lord Satan! Wah!"

Suddenly there was the sound of hellish screaming mixed in with the chanting.

Luckily he had just barely finished composing and so the obnoxiously distracting screams did not disrupt his work. Still, he was curious where the sound was coming from and so he began scanning the room for the source. He also noticed no one else seemed to be reacting. Maybe it was another strange tradition of theirs?

His eyes moved from one old man to the next as they flashed their underwear, his eyeballs burning at the sight. Oh wait! He has no eyeballs to be burned yohohoho!
