Little Piece - A One Piece Crossover

Let's get this party started!

A long time ago, a great pirate, named Starswirl The Bearded, gathered the biggest treasure known to pony kind, the Little Piece. But even such a strong stallion could not flee from the marines forever. As he kneeled at the chaffote, he spoke his last words: "You want my treasure? Fine. Have it. Somewhere I've hidden the greatest treasure of this world." And so the era of the pirates began. Thousands of outlaws and criminals began their journey to the Grand Line, in order to find the Little Piece.

It was a sunny day in the East Blue. A luxurious ship sailed the seas, carrying rich mares and stallions from everywhere. Inter alia a white unicorn, sporting a purple, excellent styled mane. But that's a matter for another time. Right now, all that is interesting is that one little barrel floating on the surface of the water.

"Hey Joe. Looky here", a stallion shouted to his friend.

"Woo hoo. Jackpot. What do you think's in there?"

"Dunno. Beer, wine, cider. Everything's good right about now."

While these two were busy hooking up the barrel and draging it on board, another one on the look out saw something that sent shivers down his spine. A pink ship, coming from behind a rock. A swan as figurehead and a black flag with skull and heart on it.

"Pi- Pi- Pi-. PIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAATEEEEEESSSSS."

The two stallions ran off to inform the passengers. Their barrel rolling all over the place, before it bounced down a ladder into the galley.

The pirates got ready to pilfer everything they could find. And one obese mare stepped in front of them. Her cherry and crimson colored mane looked like a stream of blood across a pale yellow desert, which was her coat. Her face was completely distorted by fat and the warts didn't make it more pleasant to look at her.

"Alright ma boys. Cherry Jubilee is now talkin'. Take whatever little earring you can find. And remember. No hostages.", her voice was cheerful and motivating and yet surprisingly tough, "Pipsqueak. Get ma mace." A young colt, white with brown spots on his coat and brown mane, trotted out from the shadows, dragging an enormous, spiked iron club behind him, obviously too heavy for him.

"Are ya little brat useful for anythin'? Gimme that."

"I-I'm so- sorry, Lady Jubilee. Mo- Most b-beautiful of them aw."

"Don't apologize." She brushed through his mane, as if to calm him down. "You're a pirate now and pirates don't apologize for nothin'." Those words sent tears rushing into his little eyes, but he hid it as good as possible.

The pirates rammed the cruser and jumped from one ship to the other.

"What are ya waitin' for, Pipsqueak?

"I-I-I d-daan't fin' I'm ready for this."

"Are ya disobeyin' ma orders, little one? Get on that ship!" She kicked him right off the spot, sending him flying towards the other ship, crashing into a wall on the other side. Stunned for a moment he quickly got back up again as Cherry Jubilee leaped towards him, taking a huge swing with her weapon, only to miss him by a few inches. He immediately jumped up and ran into a random area on the ship, just trying to get away from her and somehow ended up in the galley.

The tears from earlier started to come to the surface as he remembered everything that happened, since the day he got swooped by Cherry Jubilee. He hid behind a big barrel of whatever, hoping they would just forget him and leave.

But not for everypony was this attack something negative. The white unicorn, mentioned earlier, saw the chance to change from her dress into a much less restrictive burglar outfit and jump onto the pirate ship while they were all off.

Back to Pipsqueak, whose plans of hiding and being forgotten were shattered by three of the pirates, who just had to look for the booze.

"Well, look who I found. Look for something to drink and you find a coward."

"Be grateful that we found you here. If Lady Jubilee had come down here, you wouldn't even be alive by now."

"Nah, g-guys. I was just, uhm, tryin' ter get this ba-barrel on deck."

"Well isn't that just the sweetest thing. His first time stealing something." He grabbed the spotted colt and held him above his head. "Listen kid, if I hate anything, it's being lied to. Waht do you think? Should we teach him what happens when somepony lies?"

"I don't know, dude. I'd feel like a real flankhole for beating a child. Well, a little alcohol will probably fix that."

He rose his blue hoof over a nearby barrel to smack it back down and reveal the exquisite liquid, but things didn't go like that. His hoof just came down before ...

"WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

... a pink earth pony staight up jumped out of the barrel, knocking him out point-blank. Her flat hair puffed up big time, almost making her strawhat fall off, and her flanks were covered by three baloons.

" (yaaawwwwn) Oh boy. I needed that nap." She said in a very high pitched voice. She opened her light blue eyes afer stretching and saw what she did to that stallion and smiled embarassed. "Oopsy. Seems like I need to look around more often. Sorry 'bout that, buddy. You okay?"

He didn't answer. Totally blacked out. But his friends were even more awake after they recovered from the shock. And angry.

"We're not your buddies, sister."

"How did a scrawny scarecrow, like yourself, send him sleeping like that?"

"I dunno. Maybe there's a little more in my hooves than you expect."

They got even angrier, which could be told by them waving their swords like crazy.

"Don't you try to mock us. Don't you get that you're joking with the greatest pirate crew in the East Blue?" Pirate Pony #3 stated.

"And don't think you get out of this without payment." Pirate Pony #1 threatened.

Both of them charged up against the barrel. Their swords lunged out to cut the pink pony in three thirds. But, to their surprise, all they did was fly against the wall, caused by the hind legs of the mysterious mare.

"Let's get outta here."

They dragged their friend up the stairs again, to get to the deck and get backup.

"Well those where some baddies", the pink mare stated.

Pipsqueak remained in the corner throughout the entire charade. Every bone in his body shivered.

"What's with you there, little one?"

No answer. He was too traumatized. An endless seeming amount of questions raced through his head. Well, actually just two. 'Who was she?' and 'How could she do such a thing?'

"Can't find any words, huh. I'll be looking for some food, if you can scramble something together." And with that she walked over to the door and was about to open itas she felt something tugging on her leg. It was Pipsqueak.

"Ya 'ave to get off this ship. When Lydy Jubilee finds ya, it will be your end."

"The only thing I have to do is get something to eat."

"No. Don't. Wait.", Pip said wih every new step she took. He tried to stop her, but all she did was haul him along into the storage room.

Meanwhile, on the pirate ship. The white unicorn lit up her horn to perform some kind of spell. Presumably led by the glow, she jumped down a trap door and found her way through the labyrinth, that is the inside of the swimming behemoth.

She knew exactly where to turn left and when to turn right, which room to inspect for bits and gems and which to leave be, until she came to the very end of the hull, where a single stallion was sleeping in the dark. Her horn began to glow even brighter, causing the guard to flinch and eventually wake up.

Still drunk from sleep, he looked at the intrudor .

"Hey. What are you doing here, missy?"

She quickly smiled at the half sleeping stallion and and answered: "That is a very good question, my dear sir. And the equally good answer to it is-"

The guard could do nothing but distort his face in pain. He went to the ground, because of the blue magical aura that gathered in the area around his hind legs.

"I steal stuff, darling." And away she was.

The young colt stayed in the storage room, thinking it would be better than go out to his "associates", looking at his savior stuffing apple after cupcake after pie in her mouth.

"S-So, wha-hat's your name?" he finally managed to ask. She quickly gulped the three apples in her mouth and answered.

"My name is Pinkamena D. Pie. My friends call me Pinkie, though. What's yours?"

"I-I'm Pipsqueak", he replied, still with his head down. "Why were ya in that barrel, Miss Pie?"

"My ship rammed some rocks. Lies on the bottom of the ocean, right now. Thank god for that barrel. I sink like a stone, tied to a bigger stone." She chuckled a little as if the thought of drowning was funny. "And, like I said, call me Pinkie!"

Pips ears perked up from hearing that. Was this completely strange to him mare actually calling him her friend?

"Are thou o' oth the pi'ate'?", she asked, forcing more and more food down her throat.

"Nah, I'm not. 'eaven and 'ell, ... it's complicated. Wot brought ya so far away from dry land?"

Pinkie had the biggest smile on her face he has ever seen, when she gave him the answer to his question.

"I'm gonna become Queen of the Pirates."

Pipsqueaks jaw dropped through the floor.

"Seriously?"

"Yep"

"But but but but that would mean ya 're a pirate."

"I am."

"A- and your crew?"

"Still looking for candidates."

"'re ya nuts?"

"A little bit."

"Do ya comprehend wot ya 'ave ter do ter accomplish that? That title is reserved for the bloody wahn 'oo finds the chuffin' treasure of wealf, fame and power. you're lookin' for the "Little Piece". Do ya even begin ter understand that just abaht every pirate in this world is lookin' for said treasure. It's impossible. Ya will get killed. Ya will get ... "

That's all he could say before Pinkie knocked her hoof on his head leaving him squirming in pain.

"Calm yourself! You really think I wouldn't know all that? 'cause I know all that. I just don't care about it. I promised somepony, that I will become Queen of the Pirates and it is my dream. And if, by any chance, I die because of that, then I die." There was a long silence in the storage room as Pinkie took off her straw hat and gazed upon it in nostalgic manner.

Pipsqueak thought about his little outburst. He sat there, in this storage room, in front of a pony, who, just like that, admitted that she was a bloody pirate and was currently plundering the supplys of a cruise ship. And he raged about something like that? Why did he care more about how this mare would find her end, than the fact that he should hide from just another criminal? There was something about this mare. Just what?

Meanwhile, Cherry Jubilee stood proud on the deck of the cruiser, gushing over her looted wealth. Her iron club firmly held by her right hoof.

"Good work, boys. That has t'be most fruitfull raid we had in months", she exclaimed proud. "Get that on the ship and tonight you get an extra piece of Mama Jubilees cherry pie." The entire crew cheered in response.

The three thugs from before finally arrived on the deck.

"Lady Jubilee, Pipsqueak is hiding down there, in the storage room. He's hiding from us."

"Then why are ya ratbags here and not down there, beatin' him up."

"Well that's the thing. There's a mare down there. A monster. She knocked him out with just one single hit."

Fury started to seethe inside of her. She tightened her grip on the club, only to throw it at them with all of her force. The two awake managed to duck before the massive weapon could hit them, but the other one wasn’t so lucky. It crashed right into his face, making him not only fall back. No, it sent him straight up flying across the ocean, until he was out of sight.

“Where, did ya say they were?”

After a couple of moments of staring at the strawhat, she placed it back on her head and started their dialog again.

"Pipsqueak the Pirate, huh? You've got to admit that that doesn't really sound threatening."

"Neither does Pinkie. Besides, loike  I said, I'm not a pirate."

"Then why did you act like you know these guys, Pip? Being attacked by the same pirates, twice, is really unlikely."

Pip was caught off guard by that one. He needed a couple of seconds before replying. A tone shame and regret found the way into his answer.

"It's true I came wif the bloomin' pirates, but i'm 'eaven and 'ell not wahn of them. It ... it 'appened two years ago. I was aahhht on the seaa, fishin'. Sum of the boys in me town told me that the best and biggest fish were further aahhht there, than I usually try my luck, so I decided ter check  if they're right.Uunfortunately, I got caught in a current and drifted further and further away from me village and sum nickle and dime mashed potato into lydy jubilees 'appeny dip. I've been 'er slave ever since then. "

Tears rolled down his cheek as he said this last sentence. But he couldn't hold anything back when he heard what Pinkie said next.

"That's stupid. Why didn't you scram?"

"Ya fin' that's easy? I daan't wanna get killed, okay. Lydy Jubilee is brutal, when she gets mad. Even if I manage ter sneak on wahn of the bloomin' lifeboats, I know she'll just persecute me and smack me ter deaf wif 'er iron club."

"You're not just stupid. You're also a coward", she mocked him while continuing to eat.

"SHUT IT!", he yelled at her. Every muscle in his body filled with rage, only to faint away as he let her words sink in.

"You're wite. I am a coward. but I 'ave 'ope that wahn day the bloomin' Navy will take 'er daahhhn. Y'kna? It 'as always been me dream ter join the chuffin' Navy. get rid of aw these bloody pirates aahhht there. nah offense. do ya understand na why I can't just flee ?"

She didn't.

"You can't just wait for somepony to show up and make your dreams come true. If you truly believe in them you have to work for them yourself." He looked at her with utter amazement. Who would have thought that this glutton was so philosophical

The ceiling of the storage room collapsed, covering the entire area in thick smoke. As it cleared away, the contour of an obese pony, holding a massive spiked weapon could be seen. Cherry Jubilee.

"You weren't tryin' to run away from me, were you, scaredy pants?" She took a look around the room and found the pink pony, who stopped eating her cupcake. "And who are you? Are ya that famous pirate hunter Dash, everypony keeps talkin' about?"

"N-N-NoNoNoNoNo, Lady Jubilee." He choked a little, due to his lunch trying to come back to the surface as he looked her in the face.

"Hey Pip, who's that fat lady?" Pinkie just blurted out for everypony to hear and back away from Jubilee as possible.

"Don't listen to that brat. She wouldn't know what true beauty looks like, if it smacked her in the face with your club."

Cherry's teeth almost broke from the sheer pressure she made them endure. Every single muscle in her body was clenched as she jumped down the hole, ready to hit the outrageous mare, but she just took Pipsqueak and leaped onto the deck in a huge arc.

The pirates started to reform themselves, encirculing Pinkie, who threw Pip away to put him out of danger. They all attacked her at once. Swords and hooves simply flew across the wooden planks of their battlefield.

Pinkie Pie dogded and blocked every single one of them, smacking her hooves on their faces so hard they felt completely numb. One charged up on her from the back, but the mare in the strawhat just turned around , grabbing her head and throwing her at several others.

"Attacking from behind is unfair.", she yelled, not noticing the crowd that formed behind her. They were to many. Pinkie could only run as fast as she could, hoping for an opening.

Which she got soon enough, at the next mast. Her front hoof grabbed onto it, but she just kept running, as if her leg would expand. Surprisingly, to all present, that's exactly what it did. Her leg just kept becoming longer and longer, untill she streched it far enough.

The pirates constantly switched back and forth from looking at the hoof to its owner, who let her leg retract further and further to its original lenght, making her speed backwards against her confused enemies.

"PAAAAAARRRRRTYYYYYY -", she screamed, as her attack sent all of those, who stood near the point of impact, almost off the ship. "- ROCKET."

It took a couple of moments untill somepony could speak again. This long silence was broken by Cherry Jubilee, who, by that time, managed to get out of the stoorage room. Her voice was cold at the sight of her crew being beaten up, but one could certainly sense a large amount of curiosity in her tone.

"That's quite a powerful unusual technique you've got there, kid. Tell me, did ya eat one of the Devil Fruits?"

"Uh huh. I ate the Party Fruit." She demonstrated her powers by, once again, extending her leg and pulling a blue konfetti cannon out of absolutely nowhere. They knew it was a konfetti cannon, because that stuff was scattered all over the fat captain.

Relatively unfaced that that action, she began muttering about that new information.

"So it is true. They really do exist. Ah've heard that they're called the true treasures of the Grand Line. Grantin' their eaters godlike powers from just one single bite."

"That's them", Pinkie answered, still keeping her smile.

"Well Ah guess that just works for ma advantage. As soon as Ah'm done with ya, you'll be nothin' but a bubblin' corpse on the bottom of the ocean." She spotted Pipsqueak out of the corner of her eyes and called him over. He stayed a coupke of feet away, right next to Pinkie Pie, but still close enough.

"Tell me again, little one!" Her almost creepily calm voice sent not just one wave of shivers razing over his spine. "Who is the most beautiful of all pirates?"

"You, Lady Jubilee, are ... are", he started, but found himself unable to speak the rest of the lie, he had to say at least three times, every day for the past two years. The thought of already being so long under her tyranny, mixed with the talk about the Navy and his dreams he had with Pinkie earlier triggered something inside him.

"YA 'RE THE BLOODY FUGLIEST 'OODED CRA TER EVER SET A 'OOF ON A 'APPENY DIP."

The crew, again, either just stood there, petrified and jaw hanging, or they fled onto their own ship, in fear of what they knew was about to happen.

"WHAT DID YA SAY YA LITTLE SCUMBAG?"

"You heard me right. I'd rather die right now, than be your slave again. I'm gonna join the Navy and hunt you down or I'll die right here where I stand."

"Your wish shall be granted."

She swung her club with as much force as she had towards the spotted little colt, who just now began to understand the heavyness of his actions. But, before she could hit him, Pinkie Pie lunged forward and stopped the blow with her body. She seemed to be squeezed down to 3/4 of her height.

"That's it for her", the pirates thought to themselves, "Nopony can withstand a blow like that."

But that made Pinkie only giggle as she quickly regained her full height.

"That's not gonna work on me."

"WHAT?" Normally every single one of her victims would be nothing but a squashed corpse. But this one still stood. And, what's even more, expanded her leg as far as she could, wide beyond the reiling, until it couldn't possibly stretch any further.

Fear spread across the fat sweating face of the red maned pirate captain, as she watched the thing come closer and closer to hitting her and she could do absolutely nothing to stop it.

With one single hit to her stomach, Pinkie puched her through two walls, the reiling and beyond what eyes could see, into the ocean. Not even the splash could be seen from where this battle took place.

Everypony was paralyzed and unable to process the outcome of this fight. A needle falling could have been heard, until they were snapped out of it, when they heard a loudspeaker in the distance.

"Attention, all pirates. The Navy is here. Surrender now or we will fire."

Pinkie took this warning as a sign to leave. "Hey, you guys there. Prepare a boat for me!" They did as she said and a boat was ready almost immediately. "Well, Pip, looks like it's your lucky day. The Navy's right there. Go and apply for a job!"

"'re ya 6's and 7's? If I go ter them na, they'll fin' I'm a pirate."

"Okay, then hop in!" And he did. Pinkie streched out her front legs to grab ahold on both ships and clung to the front of their boat. Before she catapulted themselves forward and away from the Navy ship, she could catch a glimpse of a white coated mare on a boat next to them.

As they finally reached normal speed again, they had to ask themselves one question. Where to go next?

"Hey, who is that 'Dashie' the fat lady talked about?"

"Rainba dash is a brutal bounty 'unter. Callin' 'er a monster would be the understatement of the year. Why do ya ask?"

Pinkie smiled again. "I think she could fit in my crew."

"WOT?" Pinkie punched him on the head again. "Wot was that for?"

"You were gonna hold a speech again, why I shouldn't do it. Do you happen to know where she is?"

"I 'eard that she's currently imprisoned on a Navy base. " Pinkies smile faded.

"Well that doesn't seem very impressive. Anyways we should stick together. I'll break her out of the base, she'll join my crew and you will apply for a job at the Navy without being suspected of pirating."

Pipsqueak was okay with that idea and both of them set sail to the island, where the bounty hunter, called Rainbow Dash was located.
