M2FGPS2008! Days 21 and 22
Wait, this still exists? Nnnnaaaauuuhhh, it can't be! :o


Luffy: Free money!
Usopp: Five dollars isn't even enough to buy a cookie--
Luffy: FREE MONEY!


Nami: A restroom. Inside someone's body.
Usopp: Please don't--wait, is somebody in there? I think I heard someone in there.
Luffy: Don't be a tard, man, there's ALWAYS somebody in the restroom.


Usopp: Uh, Luffy? The guy's been waxing philosophic for about ten minutes now.
Luffy: Heheheh.
Usopp: That's not what I meant and you know it. >:/


Luffy: Oh boy! Branching paths! Eeny-meeny-miney-THIS ONE.


Nami: Okay, so apparently we're going the right way.
Usopp: We're barely past the beginning of this colossus climb...
Luffy: It can't be THAT bad.


Luffy: Dungeon taking too long. Boredom setting in. Losing feeling... in... brainmeats...
Nami: It's been. One. Minute!


Luffy: Ugh, FINALLY.
Usopp: Floor three of what... ten? Twenty? A hundred?
Nami: Dungeon Man looked big enough from outside, but I don't think he's THAT tall.


Usopp: Is this the top floor?
Nami: Looks like it.
Usopp: Huh, well that wasn't so bad.
Luffy: Dude, is that a decapitated human head mounted on the wall? I wanna touch it!


Nami: Ew, Luffy! We don't know where it's been!
Luffy: Aw c'mon, of course we do. It's right THERE!
Usopp: Um, guys? The sign says that face is him. That's... hello, Mr. Brick Road.


Usopp: Good to see you, too. You're looking, uh, well.
Luffy: ...I dunno whether to be amazed or REALLY creeped out right now.
Nami: Same here. So much for an autograph.
Usopp: How's Dad--er, Dr. Andonuts?
Luffy: Hey face-dude, does this thing have missiles? And laser cannons?
Usopp: Luffy, please. It's against the principles of Dr. Andonuts and his colleagues to use science as a means of producing weapons of mass destruction.


Luffy: How 'bout just some destruction? Like, if I don't wanna go to school anymore...
Nami: You talk about principles while we're standing here next to a human head stuck in the wall.
Usopp: Guys, Dungeon Man wants to come with us.
Nami: As a party member? Seriously?
Luffy: Why should this even be up for debate?!


Luffy: WOOOO YEEEEAAAHHHH! Dun-geon Man, Dun-geon Man! Danana na-na nanananaaa!
Usopp: ...What the Hell are you doing, Luffy?
Luffy: Theme song, man! Every great giant ultra-death mecha needs one.
Nami: But he doesn't have any weapons.
Luffy: Dude, he's made of stone and weighs like a billion tons. We're gonna own the crap outta this desert, starting with Mister Creepy Stalker over there!


One glorious stomping-filled minute later!
Usopp: Well that was short-lived.
Luffy: NOOOOO! Dungeon Maaaan! I can't stand going through anymore of this stupid desert without your giant feet squishing all who dare to oppose me!


Nami: Yes you can. Onward, mecha fanboy!
Luffy: You guys are friggin' heartless...


Luffy: How could you--hey, this is a dead end.


Luffy: ...And so's this. What the Hell am I supposed to do?!
Nami: Cross the river somehow, so we can get to this "Deep Darkness" place.


Usopp: Where, according to this native, we will promptly sink in the swamp and suffocate in the mud. This trip just keeps getting better.
Nami: He mentioned using a submarine as a way to get across.
Luffy: Well golly frickin' gee! I'll just pull out the submarine I've had cleverly hidden up my butt this whole time!
Usopp: Er... maybe Dungeon Man can help?


Luffy: I kinda doubt he's got a... you DO?


Luffy: Lemme at it lemme at it!


Luffy: Less talky, more subby!


Luffy: Okay, go forward...


Luffy: Then left... hey, shrooms.


Nami: Lucky for us his weird hobby just happened to be vehicle-collecting.
Luffy: And I see a sub!


Usopp: This thing hasn't been operational for years, but if we cannibalize parts from these other vehicles, it should work again.


Luffy: Think Dungeon Man'll notice?
Usopp: Not if we don't tell him.


Luffy: Hey taxi! BAT PLUS GRILL!


Luffy: Heheh, he'll never suspect a thing.
Usopp: Guys, this isn't autopiloted like the Sky Walker, so we'll have to take up stations to get it across. Nami, could you man the periscope while I steer?
Nami: Roger.
Usopp: And Luffy? Touch nothing.
Luffy: Spoilsport.














Luffy: Well, here we are in glorious Deep Darkness, population: monkeys!
Nami: Is that the swamp or the locals I smell?
Luffy: The only way to get anywhere is straight through the swamp, so let's find out!
Nami and Usopp: NO WAIT--


Nami: This... isn't the most horrible thing in the world, I guess.
Usopp: Definitely nothing like the Fourside sewers. And that smell is definitely coming from the monkeys.
Luffy: Hey, I wonder why the water gets dark up ahead?


All: BLRGLEBLRGLEBLRGLE


Nami: OH GOD IT'S IN MY MOUTH
Usopp: I CAN'T SEE
Luffy: That's what closing your eyes is for, duh. Hey, a Magic truffle!
Usopp: That's a little hard to do when the leader suddenly jumps into the deepest part of the swamp!
Luffy: Oh c'mon, it's just mud. Quit bein' such a girl. No offense, Nami.
Nami: If we ever find a shower, I WILL use up all the hot water.


Luffy: Hey Usopp, this lil' guy knows about the monkey who taught me teleportation.
Usopp: I'd ask how that's even possible in such a remote area, but the "teleportation" part speaks for itself.


Luffy: Are all monkeys secretly psychic or something? What the heck, sure I'll teach ya. Just run really fast until you go someplace, that's about it.


Luffy: Oh, and remember not to--


Luffy: ...Hit anything.
Nami: Hehe.


Usopp: He sure is enthusiastic for someone who just smashed his face on solid rock.










Luffy: Woah, he actually did it. I'll be da--uh I mean, good job lil' guy.


Usopp: He shared his feelings with you?
Nami: Actually, it's more like a stick poked through a leaf. But it's nice that he wanted to give us a present.


Nami: (I guess this is why they call it Deep Darkness.)
Luffy: (Okay, screw this. Where's that thingy I got at the pyramid?)


Luffy: (Oh, balls. How am I supposed to turn this thing on?)
Nami: (Just hurry before Usopp goes full-emo. No, really, shut up.)


Luffy: (Rrrgh, stupid--) *THWACK* *THWACK* *THWACK*


*DING!*


Usopp: Oh, sweet dry land... well, it's muddy, but at least I'm not up to my eyeballs in it.
Luffy: Getting covered in mud does have an advantage, though. It keeps off the bugs!
Nami: Too bad it won't fend off the GIANT EELS.


Usopp: Never have I wanted snorkeling gear more.


Usopp: ...Or a flamethrower.
Luffy: Revenge of the palette-swapped!


Luffy: Oh man, it's the helicopter Pokey stole! All we gotta do is fix it up and we're good, right? ...Right?
Usopp: Well, I'd love to, but... the engine's missing.


Luffy: What the Hell. Why would he DO that?
Nami: He knows we're following him.
Usopp: If it was with any intention of spiting us, which it likely was, we might be able to find it nearby.
Luffy: So, do you wanna look?
Usopp: Actually... no, forget it. Let's just keep going.


Luffy: A bird that can talk could at least learn to talk RIGHT.
Nami: What's that "gummi" thing it's talking about?
Luffy: I dunno, but it's making me hungry. :(


Usopp: A Super plush bear, of all things, abandoned in the swamp. I think I'll just ignore the ominous implications that brings to mind.
Nami: Brigadier General Rippings parachuted here after his fighter jet got blown up by a missile. He's been living on eels and fish eyes for three years.


Luffy: (Fish eyes, you say?)
Nami: (Oh no! He's having flashbacks!)


*underwater riiiiiiing*
Luffy: (How does this thing even work underwater? Well, it's not like I can answer the phone while I'm holding my breath, so... bug off, Dad.) *click*


Nami: (...Oh god. Yes, Usopp, those ARE what you think they are.)
Luffy: (Jesus Captain Christ! SLOSH FASTER GUYS!)


Nami: (It engulfed the Brigadier like some kind of vomitous ameba...)
Luffy: (There's only one semi-logical explanation for this. No, Usopp, you don't need to keep telling me who it is.)


Luffy: (You don't need to remind me that we're sharing the swamp water with them, either.)
Nami: (Calling dibs again on all the hot water at the next opportunity to bathe.)


Luffy: (I just KNOW something's ahead. And I know it's gonna suck... well DUR, Usopp, of course I can't see where I'm going. I've got my eyes--)


*splurtch*



Luffy: (RAAAUGH IT'S ON MY FACE, GET IT OFF MY FACE!)
Nami: (Luffy, if you'd shut up for a sec, you'd notice we took care of it already. Also, Zoro's back.)
Luffy: (Wait, what?)
Zoro: (Can we put the happy reunion on hold for a bit? I'd like to start breathing again sometime soon.)


Slightly later!
Luffy: ...So that flashy star stuff that totally whooped Belch 2.0 was YOUR new attack?
Zoro: Indeed. It's the Starstorm technique I mastered while I was gone.
Usopp: Wait, already?
Zoro: It's based entirely around Mu concepts. In effect, I learned nothing, to gain and use nothing.
Luffy: So nothing splattered Belch all over the trees.
Zoro: Exactly.


Luffy: Well, Zoro's new inexplicably mad skillz aside, I see a cave!
Nami: Reiterating hot water dibs!
Luffy: Jeez, relax. There's prolly a hot spring or something in there. I mean, that's what we did after dealing with Belch before.
Usopp: The mud makes it hard to tell which filth is which this time, though...


Luffy: I hear vaguely town-like sounds.


Luffy: They're...
Nami: ...Gummi people?
Zoro: They're the Gumi tribe. They are said to live in the most remote reaches of the world, and... that's where we are.


Nami: They're kind of cute.
Usopp: And very shy, apparently.
Luffy: Meh, the Mr. Saturns are way awesomer.


Nami: This one's not too talkative either.
Luffy: Forget it. Let's just find whatever hole-in-the-wall they have for an inn and deal with it tomorrow.
Nami: You guys go ahead. I'll just go claim the entire hot spring for myself.
Luffy: Fine, whatever. Like I'd wanna use it after a GIRL, anyway.
Usopp: Yes you would.
Zoro: And you're not sharing our sleeping cave until you wash all the dead vegetation and eel entrails off your clothes first.
Luffy: Traitors.


Usopp: Finally... IT IS COMPLETE! Muhuhahahaaa...


Luffy: Yeesh, even their leader is shy.
Nami: It might help if Usopp would stop grinning like that.
Zoro: Or if he didn't have that Heavy bazooka strapped across his shoulders.
Usopp: I'm going to continue enjoying my morning, thanks. >:D


Luffy: A book that cures shyness? Nope, never heard of it.


Luffy: Well, this whole Deep Darkness thing was a total waste of time. This place is pretty much a dead end, and I can't even force any information outta the villagers.
Nami: The world's savior, ladies and gents.


Zoro: Where to now? I'm sure to regret asking.
Luffy: I dunno, anus. Got any ideas?
Zoro: Only an attempt to find the book, buttface. Unless, by some miraculous chance, you can think of something else.
Luffy: Well I'll show YOU, c--*riiing* Dangit hold on. *click* Screw off, this ain't Mach Pizza.


Luffy: Woah, Apple Kid! Feels like been so long since we talked I almost didn't recognize your voice for a second, heh.


Luffy: Right, so you made it to Dr. Andonuts's lab to work on that whatever-thingy with him. What's it s'posed to do, anyway? Will it have lasers?
Usopp: I admire Apple Kid's patience.
Nami: He only still has any because he hardly ever talks to us in person.


Luffy: What? The reception's gone all crappy, Apple Kid. Hello?
Zoro: That's definitely carnage I hear through the receiver.
Usopp: Wait, what's going on?


Luffy: I don't know, he just dropped the phone, and then--


*click*

*beepbeepbeepbeep...*

Luffy: Well, balls. Guess we better go to--*ringalingling-click!* Apple Kid is that you? What happ--


Luffy: Aw NO! Friggin' Orange Kid phone spammers! TAKE ME OFFA LIST! *SLAM!*


Luffy: God. Okay, NOW I guess we better go to Winters.
Usopp: No argument there.


Zoro: Allow me. Luffy, if you wouldn't mind sharing the mental coordinates?
Luffy: Why, not at all! Uh... C, right?
Zoro: Yup.
Luffy: Why, not at all, crabmongler!


Luffy: Who's this guy?
Usopp: Long time no see, Gauss. How's Tony doing? ...He's not around? Um, okay. I guess.


Luffy: Maybe Tony took off looking for you?
Usopp: I really hope not, because these things were most definitely NOT here the last time we were!
Nami: That thing from the Fourside mall had friends? Great...


Zoro: *pop* Wow. Having this many tentacles is really... something.
Nami: Ew, Zoro! Don't transform into those things!
Usopp: Seconded. I hope that's not permanent.
Luffy: You can transform?! :o


Luffy: So... is there a way across this? Since we flew in last time, we didn't have to deal with any random huge lakes or anything.
Usopp: Balloon Monkey, don't tell me you still have that pack of gum--


Usopp: Aw that's disgusting!


Luffy: Well whaddya know. It DOES exist!
Nami: I'd say it's cute, but the monkey laughing like a maniacal pirate captain up there is kind of scary.


Luffy: C'mon Nami. You know the only thing better than pirates an' monkeys is a pirate monkey!
Zoro: I almost wish I could transform into something like this dinosaur at will.
Luffy: What, all that fancy-pants Mu training and you can't even do that?
Zoro: Transformation lessons were incredibly dull. I learned more about pretending I was actually paying attention than trying to master something I didn't think would be of much use.
Luffy: Hey, sounds like me with just about every class. :D


Luffy: Well, there they go.
Nami: And the monkey's doing that creepy laugh again.
Zoro: Wait, he's saying something... "plunder the all-female monkey kingdom on the eastern shore"?
Usopp: His wife better not find out.


Luffy: Oh no NOT AGAIN!
Usopp: Crap! I forgot this was here. Please tell me you have the eraser.
Luffy: ...
Nami: Luffy?
Usopp: Man, we have to go all the way back to--


Luffy: Just kidding! :D
Usopp: Not funny, jerk. >:(


Usopp: Time to go through here for the third time...
Nami: Second for us. It's like it's here to remind us how out of the way your dad's lab is.
Luffy: Speakin' of, let's pick up the pace. I have kinduva not-right feeling about all this.


Luffy: Hello? Apple Kid? Dr. Andonuts? Anyone?
Nami: The place is echoing more than usual.


Luffy: Make that a VERY not-right feeling.
Usopp: The caveman must know something... I can't believe we have to ask him.
Zoro: Maybe we don't. That mouse has been here the whole time.
Usopp: Considering my past experiences with rodents, I'm not too confident about that one.


Luffy: Dudes, this is Apple Kid's mouse! Also known as I-Don't-Have-A-Name-Yet. What happened here, Idunhave?


An explanation later!
*DUN DUN DUNNN*
Luffy: Holy crap-balls! Apple Kid was kidnapped by Pokey and some aliens?!
Usopp: And so was Dr. Andonuts?!
Nami: And some random people too?!
Zoro: And... I have nothing to contribute. What's that strange contraption the mouse just gave us?
Luffy: It's the Eraser of Specific Objects version 2.


Luffy: But before we go anywhere... Zoro, FACE PLUS TECHNOLOGY!
Zoro: Now wait just a--actually, that was quick and unusually refreshing. There's only one drawback to this healing machine, however.
Usopp: Let's let another game in another franchise deal with it a year from now. To Stonehenge!


Luffy: ...Aaand there's nothing here. Wait, I think that patch of dirt is covering something...


Luffy: A-HA! Infiltration time, boys and girl!


Luffy: We totally need a theme song for thi--aw CRAP!
Nami: What?
Luffy: Usopp, I think we ended up in Moonside again. Lookit all this glowy junk.
Usopp: No, we're safe from that, at least. Listen; doesn't this music sound familiar?
Luffy: Oh... now that I think of it, yeah, it does. I wonder why?


Luffy: The Hell? No octopus this time?
Zoro: How convenient that we just got an eraser suited to this particular statue.
Luffy: How do you know it'll work?


Zoro: Because it's called a... oh, nevermind.


Nami: Hey, a free PSI caramel.
Luffy: Brain candy! :D


Usopp: Which way now?
Luffy: Let's go thhhhh... here. Over there. Right. Yeah.


Zoro: It's always comforting to know our leader knows exactly what he's doing.
Luffy: It'd be easier to find the right way if these stupid Starmen would stop teleporting right in my FACE! >:|


Luffy: Okay, I think we might be getting somewhere now, hopefully.


Nami: Oh yeah, definitely.
Luffy: Wow. Why does freakin' everything hafta flash and glow so much?
Usopp: I'm just wondering how long this huge alien base has escaped our notice...
Luffy: Well, Buzz Buzz DID say Gyiyg started his takeover from this time, and in about ten years everything was total crap. So maybe the Starmen made the whole world look like this.


Zoro: Considering an insect time-traveled on a meteor back to this time to prevent his future from happening, that kind of prediction could actually be right.
Luffy: Shows how much YOU know... dorkinator.
Zoro: Eelgroper. And you just did two letters in a row, that's fifty thousand points off.
Luffy: Nuts! Also, FREAKFACTORY.
Nami: Less stupid insult games, more climbing down this ladder and not falling.
Usopp: I'd agree with you here, Nami, but they're actually taking my mind off worse things.
Nami: Like... oh. Right.


Usopp: Why in the world would a laser-firing Starman Super carry around a sword like this?
Zoro: Here's a better question--how did they find the ancestral sword of the Ramma royal family?
Usopp: Well, I suppose I ought to hand it off to you, then...


Luffy: Awright, we've come down pretty far. You guys ready for this?
Usopp: Heavy bazooka's loaded with rockets, all set here.
Zoro: I have a sword now. I think that speaks for itself.
Nami: I've got plenty of frying power left, but I don't think there's anything in the next--
Luffy: CHAAAAAAAAAARGE!!


Luffy: DIE ALIEN SCUM--oh wait, it's just a family of Exit mice.
Usopp: Not these guys again! I don't feel much like getting used by their "Resistance" again.
Nami: Hold on guys. They know about the people who got kidnapped.
Usopp: So they're willing to fight on our side?
Exit Mouse: (Ya got that right!)


Exit Mouse: (I saw them get taken this way. Watch your step, it's real dark around here.)
Luffy: Hey lil' dude. You wouldn't happen to be related to the Exit Mice rebelling against the giant moles in a certain desert, would ya?
Exit Mouse: (The DDD Division? Ugh, no wonder you came barging in like that. Their so-called "tyrants" were more benign than ground-swimming cats.)
Nami: The five moles we killed?
Exit Mouse: (Sounds like you got taken in on that one.)
Luffy: We had to do it anyway, for plot purpo--uh I mean so that digger could find his gold. Yeah. How'd that end again?
Usopp: We didn't get the gold.
Luffy: Oh yeah. Dang.


Luffy: Woah, Zoro actually got a better PK upgrade than Nami.
Zoro: Considering Ramma sits on an electrified cave, it feels fitting.
Nami: If we combined my PK Thunder and yours, we could actually make lightning strike the same place seven times if we got lucky.
Luffy: Must not start liking PK Thunder... must not become jealous...! >_<


Luffy: THERE they are! ...In tubes...
Usopp: Dad! Mr. Saturn, and-!


Usopp: Tony! Sometimes I hate being right.
Exit Mouse: (This one's been calling for someone since he got here, and... wait, YOU'RE Usopp? Hoo boy.)


Zoro: The tubes aren't for show. It's as if they're being used to harvest something...
Nami: Mr. Saturn spells out their purpose better than any of us can, I think.


Luffy: Apple Kid, the doctor, and maybe Mr. Saturn I can understand, but why abduct a bunch of other random people?
Exit Mouse: (Usually the Legion of Exit Mice just want to mess with the humans, but... I really feel for you guys right now.)


Usopp: There can be only one reason why they did this. These people were trying to help us.


Usopp: And the Starmen picked the wrong person to piss off.


Usopp: Lock and load, baby.



Luffy: Holy crap, HOLY. CRAP. I did NOT expect that guy to have the same ultra-secret PK attack as you, Zoro.
Zoro: The enemy knows much more about us than I thought.
Luffy: Usopp shootin' it even while he was flying back into the wall was about the sweetest frickin' thing I've ever seen, though. That and the fact that he knows swear words I actually don't know the meaning of yet.


*ominous alien machinery noises!*
Luffy: Aw NUTSACK it's the self-destruct! It's only in EVERY ACTION MOVIE EVER, how could I forget about it NOW?!
Zoro: If this is the end, I have no regrets.
Luffy: Well I do! I still haven't gotten la--


Luffy: Oh it was just shutting off the power. False alarm! :D


Luffy: Let's go see if those weird tubes got--oh, hold on. Zoro?
Zoro: Yes?
Luffy: Revive time.


Luffy: If Tony saw Usopp like that, he'd prolly have a coronary.
Usopp: Very funny.


Luffy: We only had a 7% chance of saving you? Buddy, don't tell me the odds.
Nami: Your smugness, it is showing.
Luffy: Well it's cool you're okay now. I'll home-run Pokey in the ribs for ya later.
Exit Mouse: (If you mean the nasty fat kid, give him one for me, too!)


Zoro: Hmm... question. Do you know of a book that cures shyness?
Luffy: Wait, why would Apple Kid know anything about that?
Zoro: After this, we're still stuck with no way to progress. And my longshot just worked, because the book is back at the Onett library.
Luffy: Uh, woohoo?


Luffy: Heya Doc! Good to see you're... wow, Usopp, Tony's really glarin' at you.
Usopp: I can see that. *sigh* I'll deal with him.


Usopp: Tony--really, I'm fine. See?


Usopp: You heard screaming coming from that room? Well I WAS just fighting an alien robot... and not getting killed. Of course. Hyperventilating isn't healthy for someone who was just breathing liquid for hours, you know.
Exit Mouse: (He'll be fine. Like I said, he made the biggest fuss out of all of 'em.)


Luffy: Welp, looks like Dr. Andonuts an' Apple Kid're goin' back to work on the space-whatever.
Nami: And we've got to get to Onett.
Luffy: And to do that, lead us outta here, lil' dude!
Exit Mouse: (You destroyed this place for us, so I'll do anything I can! But my mom wants me home for dinner, so I'll just take you back to the entrance.)


One wave-truth moving through space later!
Luffy: Ahh, summer! ACTUAL summer!
Usopp: The humidity's a bit much.
Nami: The library's just up the street, right? I hope the book didn't get borrowed again already.
Luffy: Well before we do that...


Luffy: I can smell home-cooked Meat thousands of miles away. Hope ya made extra, Mom!

Hopefully this'll get finished before this year's EBFGPS. XP
