Transmigrated Into One Piece

As the Merry sailed through the open sea, the ship was filled with laughter and the warm glow of camaraderie. Luffy, ever the entertainer, made funny faces, causing waves of giggles to ripple through the crew.

"Nami! Nami! Check this out!" Luffy called, approaching her with an exaggerated expression that contorted his features comically.

Nami, trying to maintain a semblance of seriousness, sighed. "Come on, guys. Would it kill you to be serious for a minute?"

Igaram, standing nearby, smiled warmly. "Princess, I'm glad you got back safe."

"Thank you for watching over the ship, Igaram," Vivi replied gratefully.

"Quack!" Carue remarked, nodding his head.

Chopper, standing beside them, translated with a grin, "He says it was nothing."

Vivi's eyes widened with amazement. "Huh? Tony, you understood that?"

"Yes, I can understand all animals. I was a normal animal myself," Chopper explained, his modesty shining through.

"Wow, that's amazing, Chopper! Not only are you a doctor, but you can talk to animals too," Nami remarked, her admiration evident. Chopper blushed deeply, his heart swelling with pride.

"Uh... S-Shut up! Your compliments won't make me happy," he stammered, but his body betrayed him as he did a little happy dance.

"So easy," Luffy and Usopp said in unison, deadpan.

"Yeah, he's like our very own Dolittle," Lucas remarked with a smile.

"Do what?" Sanji asked, confused.

"It's a story from where I come from about this doctor who could talk to animals. Although in Chopper's case, it's more like an animal doctor talking to humans," Lucas explained.

"What a weird story that must be," Sanji said, shaking his head.

"Meh, it's more of an 'if you know, you know' kind of thing," Lucas said, shrugging. He then joined Luffy and Usopp in their shenanigans.

"Keep it down, would you?" Nami yelled, exasperated by their antics. She turned to Chopper, handing him his medical bag. "Don't follow them!" she warned, but Chopper couldn't resist and joined in after being invited.

"I'm doomed," Nami muttered, shaking her head.

The Straw Hats partied through the night, celebrating their new member with boundless energy and joy.

------Next day------

"So it was you!" Sanji yelled, his voice filled with righteous fury as he delivered a swift kick to Luffy's head. Luffy yelped in surprise, clutching his head in pain.

"What was that for?" Luffy whined, rubbing the sore spot where Sanji's foot had made contact.

"You ate all the food on the other table!" Sanji snapped, his eyes blazing with indignation.

The other Straw Hats had gathered around, their attention drawn to Vivi, who was explaining more about Crocodile and his influence over Alabasta. "You see, in Alabasta, many people view Crocodile as a hero," she said, her voice tinged with frustration and sadness.

Luffy, undeterred by Sanji's outburst, crossed his arms and listened intently. "I don't care who or what he is. All I have to do is kick his butt, right?" he said, his determination unwavering.

Vivi sighed, appreciating Luffy's resolve but knowing the road ahead would be fraught with challenges. "It's not that simple, Luffy. Crocodile is a powerful foe with many followers. We need to be strategic about this," she said, her eyes reflecting her deep concern for her homeland.

Sanji, now calmer, nodded in agreement. "Vivi's right. We can't just charge in without a plan. We need to think this through," he said, his voice steady and serious. Zoro, lying on the floor snored as he was sleeping.

Nami, standing beside Vivi, placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "We'll do everything we can to help you, Vivi. We're in this together," she said, her voice filled with conviction.

The crew continued to discuss their plans, each member contributing their thoughts and ideas.

After a while, the ship grew quiet. The crew had finished their planning for now and were left to their own devices. Luffy and Usopp were fishing, using Carue as bait, their laughter echoing over the gentle waves. As the ship sailed forward, a dense fog began to roll in from the front, enveloping the Merry.

"Huh, why'd a fog appear out of nowhere?" Nami wondered aloud, her eyes narrowing as she guided the ship.

The Merry sailed through the fog, its eerie silence only broken by the occasional creak of wood. Just as they thought they had escaped any unexpected encounters, Usopp and Luffy gasped in unison, their eyes wide with shock.

"Haaaaa! We caught an Okamaaa!" Usopp and Luffy cried out, their voices filled with astonishment. Clinging onto Carue was a strange person, their flamboyant appearance startling everyone.

For a moment, the ship was filled with chaos as everyone freaked out, unsure of what to make of the situation. But as some of the others gathered to see what was happening, they gradually calmed down as the peculiar fellow began to explain himself.

"Apologies for my foolishness. I seem to have wandered onto your boat by mistake," the person said, his voice smooth and theatrical. "But fear not, my crew will rescue me, and I will not forget the debt I owe you. In the meantime... I would like to request you prepare me a bowl of soup."

"Forget it," the Straw Hats refuted in unison, their voices a mix of irritation and bewilderment.

"Huh, oh my, such a beauty to be on this ship. Why, hello there," the man suddenly said, his gaze falling on Vivi as she emerged from the kitchen. She cringed inwardly at his flirtatious tone.

"Anyway, you said you can't swim?" Luffy asked, cutting to the chase.

"Yes, well, you see, I've eaten a Devil Fruit... Hmmm, since I have the time, let me show you," the man said, touching Luffy's face and then his own. In an instant, his face transformed to look exactly like Luffy's.

The others were taken aback by this ability. "Great, but the rest of your body gives you away, especially your clothes," Lucas said deadpan.

"Now don't take my Copy-Copy ability for granted, see!" the man said, touching his face again and returning it to normal.

"Even his voice sounded like Luffy's," the others remarked, their amazement evident.

"So cool!" Luffy exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

The man proceeded to copy the faces of some of the other Straw Hats: Nami, Chopper, Zoro, and Usopp. "And that's not all, I can also..." the man said, spreading his top open. "Copy other parts as well," he continued, transforming into Nami and revealing her...

"Quit it!" Nami punched him on the head, her face flushed with embarrassment and anger.
