"Hmm hmm hmm... ε(*´･ω･)з Musician, want some fish?"
Luffy was humming a tuneless, self-adapted song, fishing with Usopp using Karoo the duck, shouting that he wanted to eat fish.
Although Orochimaru had enough food stored, Luffy's capriciousness was too much to handle.
So, he and Usopp conspired, secretly tying up Princess Vivi's duck to fish.
After a thick fog, a transvestite wearing a pink swan coat appeared on the duck.
"I'm done for! Why am I flying in the sky holding a spot-billed duck I just met?!" As soon as he finished speaking, he accidentally fell into the sea and was rescued by Zoro and the others.
"I thought I was a goner. Oh, I'm really sorry, to be saved by a pirate with a familiar mask. I'll never forget your great kindness, and... could I have a bowl of hot soup?" The transvestite knelt on the ground, thanking them sincerely.
"No way!! We're still starving!" Everyone had shark faces.
"So, why aren't you eating?" Orochimaru chewed on a plum rice ball, curiously observing the transvestite. This world's New Humans are truly unique.
"If there's food, say so earlier!!" The target of the shouting instantly became Orochimaru.
"The rest isn't ready yet. I secretly took some dinner rice balls from Sanji." He handed one to each person.
"You can't swim, can you?" Luffy chewed on a rice ball, squatting on the ground and looking at the person.
"Exactly, because I ate a Devil Fruit," the transvestite in front of him said with a wiggle.
"What kind of fruit is that?" Usopp was a little curious.
"Anyway, my ship hasn't arrived yet, so I'll give you an encore performance," the transvestite said, striking Luffy with a palm.
Zoro was about to act, but saw the person in front of him transform into Luffy.
Luffy, dressed in strange clothes, made strange poses.
"Scared you, didn't I~ Scared you, didn't I, hahahaha! Just touch it with my left hand, look! It's back to normal. This is the ability of the Copy-Copy Fruit I ate."
"The voice, even the physique, became identical," Nami exclaimed in shock.
The transvestite touched each person's face with his right hand, one by one, but Orochimaru dodged him.
"Excuse me, I don't like strangers touching me casually."
The transvestite didn't mind.
"With this hand, I can imitate anyone." With each sentence, he transformed into a different person's appearance.
"Even the body." When he transformed into Nami, he opened his coat.
The result was Nami punishing him with a punch.
Perhaps because of his strange attributes, Luffy and Usopp noisily played with the transvestite, twirling and dancing ballet with him.
Not long after, a pink boat approached, the transvestite was picked up, bidding them a tearful farewell. The few of them hugged and cried, shedding tears on the spot, saying they must meet again, waving as the person departed.
"Hey, stop crying, our client is about to cry," Orochimaru pointed to Princess Vivi, who was trembling on the side. Besides Orochimaru, Vivi had a good relationship with the others.
"He is Mr. 2 Bon Clay," Vivi said with some horror.
"Eh? Vivi, haven't you seen his face?" Luffy was surprised.
"I haven't seen Mr. 2, Mr. 1, or their partners," Vivi sank to the ground.
"I heard Mr. 2 is a tall ballet dancer, uses feminine speech, likes to wear swan coats, and has 'Bon Clay' written on his back."
Orochimaru was speechless... He didn't recognize him immediately... If he didn't use his eyes, he could donate them to Zoro.
Not planning to continue listening to their conversation, he casually grabbed Chopper and went to do experiments.
But it wasn't long before Nami dragged him out, and like the others, tied a white armband on his left arm... "Um... I probably don't need to... He can't imitate my Ninjutsu." But he was collectively refused by the group; as Companions, they had to be identical.
"Alright, from now on, no matter what happens, this on your left arm is the mark of a Companion/Crewmate. So! Let's board!"
Vivi in the corner touched the mark on her hand and secretly smiled. Orochimaru didn't say anything, just let out a 'tch'.
After disembarking, the group assigned tasks. The three not recorded by the inauspicious duo—Orochimaru, Sanji, and Chopper—were responsible for purchasing local clothes and food. Nami specifically requested perfume. To avoid encountering Mr. 2, Chopper transformed into a Reindeer, and Orochimaru transformed into a snake, coiling on Chopper's hat.
In town, Sanji was constantly flirting with girls.
Chopper covered his nose, hating the smell, and could do nothing about Sanji flirting with girls. While avoiding the perfume, he got lost with Orochimaru, and by coincidence, witnessed Koza's arms deal. Chopper, as a small deer, carried Orochimaru and hid on a camel, which took them out, and they reconnected with Sanji, who was carrying large and small bags.
"Wow... so beautiful!" Nami looked at her dance dress with satisfaction. "I really like this kind of clothing."
Vivi looked embarrassed and shy. "But, even though I asked you to buy it, isn't this a dancer's outfit?"
Sanji's eyes instantly turned into hearts.
(๑♡ω♡๑) "Isn't this great? It's very pretty."
Vivi was a bit breathless, her expression comical. "I wanted commoner's clothes..."
"Dancers are commoners too~"
"But we have to cross the desert."
"It's okay~ If you get tired, I'll carry you~"
Sanji smiled like a pervert.
"It's useless to say anything," Vivi instantly fell silent.
"But... why is Orochimaru also a dancer?" Vivi and a group of people secretly looked at Orochimaru... "So beautiful," the group instantly became dazed.
Orochimaru was seen wearing a dancer's outfit, with a hair ornament on his forehead. Although his chest was a bit flat, a gentle breeze blew, and Orochimaru tucked a few strands of hair, looking sideways at the group with a smile.
"Sanji... although I don't really care... but please tell me, why did my clothes turn into a dancer's skirt when I was only away for such a short time?"
"Hahahahaha..." Sanji looked at the sky. "I thought Orochimaru was so strong, dressing like this would better protect Vivi and Nami, and didn't you also say that Ninja would also use seduction on enemies, and didn't care much about gender issues?"
Alright... the logic checks out, and... Orochimaru also likes beautiful things, so he mimicked Nami, twirling around with his skirt. [See image in comments]
"Do I look good?" (∗ ᵒ̴̶̷̥́ ω˂̶̀ ∗)੭₎₎̊₊♡
The three men and two women instantly had nosebleeds, covering their noses and giving a thumbs up. Only Chopper, covering his nose which was stuffy from the perfume, looked bewildered.
"But... speaking of which... where's Luffy?" Orochimaru wondered.
"Luffy!!!" Everyone finally realized! Someone was missing!!!
"That idiot!!!"
Meanwhile, Luffy was walking through the desert, eating a rice ball and muttering.
"Strange, where did everyone go? They're making me worry. When I find them, I'll definitely teach them a lesson. How could they leave their Captain and walk off by themselves... (￣～￣) Chew! This little rice ball isn't enough to eat. Ah... I'm so hungry... Orochimaru, Sanji... where are you...?"
