Little Piece - A One Piece Crossover

Pipsqueak clung to Rainbow has hard as he could as he heard the malevolent marine utter his death sentence. Rainbow on the other hand tried to shield the undersized colt with her lower body as best as she could. Both of them clenched their eyes, a tear rolling down the young one's cheek. But nothing hit them.

"H-hey guys. Watcha do-doing?" Both of them opened their eyes and before them stood, facing them, the pink pony herself. Some parts of her were stretching out and Pip quickly figured out that she caught the bullets.

"PINKIE!", Pip shouted in blissful relief.

"What the flying feather is happening to you right now?", Rainbow exclaimed in utter shock.

"Just *grunt* one sec." She straightened herself and let out a fierce scream, sending all the bullets back towards the marines. "It's okay. *huff huff* Just never taken so many bullets at once before. Hihi."

Spoiled Rich obseved the scene. First she was confused to how the Straw Hat could show up here. She had hit her before, no doubt about it. But now she pulled that trick off and the captain understood.

"Bullets won't bring us any further. She ate the Devil Fruit. Try to slice them up." The soldiers pulled their swords out and stormed towards the cross. But Pinkie was quick enough to swipe all of them away with a kick and bought them some time.

"PARTY WHIP."

"Awesome. Now get me outta here so I can beat some plot myself."

"Are you gonna join my crew?"

"I guess I don't have much of a choice. I'm in, balloon butt." Pinkie Pie beamed from ear to ear as she heard that. She had the three swords she found in Diamond Tiara's room bound on her back. She carefully took them off and presented them to the prisoner.

"I didn't know which of them was yours so I took all of them."

"That's alright. They're all mine. I fight Three-Swords-Stlye." After hearing this, Pinkie accidently let the swords fall to the ground from excitement.

Spoiled Rich watched with a burning fury inside herself as her officers were cowering. Their swords and guns all scattered on the ground.

"You weaklings, stand up and kill them!", she yelled at her underlings.

"B-but Captain, you saw how strong that pink pony is. And now, Rainbow Dash is free and armed. We don't stand a chance." She activated her axe and attacked at her officers.

"You'll die either from them or me." Now knowing who they should fear more, they grabbed their weapons and charged at the criminals before them. Rainbow was quick to react though. Once she was free, she quickly equipped herself and blocked and countered every attack. One sword in her mouth and the other two in her hooves.

When every soldier laid on the ground again, now at least relatively far away from their captain, she knelt before Pinkie to express her gratitude. "I have to thank you. And I don't know if I can ever repay you. But here I swear, I will be loyal to you until the day that I believe I can't reach my goal with you anymore."

"And what goal would that be?" That question plastered a smug grin on Rainbow's face.

"I'm gonna be the strongest swordspony in the world." Her eagerness made Pinkie smile and she extended a hoof to help the still weakened swordspony up.

"Stand up. My friends don't have to kneel before me. The strongest swordspony, huh? Nothing but the best for the future Pirate Queen."

"Figured you'd be one to aim high." Both of them hoofwrestled in the air, as if to test each others strength. Even in her weakened state Rainbow was easily on par with Pinkie Pie.

Spoiled Rich, however, had just about enough of these two. With a war cry summoned from her deepest core, she drew their attention back to herself.

"You two lowlifes have denied me long enough. Maybe you can stand up against my pawns, but I am on a different level. Prepare to die by my axe." Never had either of them seen somepony so torn up by rage. This was getting a bit serious. They knew that and took their stances. Buuuut ...

"Stop it you criminals!", a shrill voice shouted behind them. It was Diamond Tiara. And there was a pistol located in her hoof. Which was pointing directly at Pipsqueak. "Y-you two are gonna surrender now! Drop the swords and lay on the ground! Or else I'mm go-going to blow his brains out."

"Wonderful Diamond Tiara", her mom cheered. "Now you understand what it takes to secure one's standing."

She was probably too proud to hear it, and Pip was too scared to notice either, but Pinkie and Rainbow saw the jittering of her body, the stammering in her voice, the overall hesitation. Pinkie turned around and approached the rich foal.

Step by step, Diamond Tiara's fear increased. She couldn't do that. If she did, they would kill her. Or torture her. But that didn't stop Diamond from shouting warnings and false promises at the slowly approaching pirate. Tears welled up in her eyes as she was completely petrified by the time Pinkie arrived.

What she didn't expect was what Pinkie actually did. Instead of punching her or kicking her or doing anything else to her, she just took the pistol from her and threw it away. Now released from her petrification, all the frightened filly could do was plump on her rectum and crawl away as fast as she could.

On the ocean, another scene was taking place.

"Captain, we should arrive in Shellstown in about an hour", a young Unicorn informed her Earth Pony official.

"Good. Actually, tell them to try getting there faster", the brown stallion replied. "Did you remember NOT to inform them of our arrival? I want to surprise my family."

"Yes, sir. I mean, we didn't send a message. Nopony should expect us. I mean, as long as they didn't see our huge ship headed there", the purple filly criticized.

"Don't talk to your teacher in this manner", but his face soon changed to softer contures, "but you're right. I should have thought this through." There was a little crash on the front side of the ship.

"What did we hit?" Both of them looked over the railing and saw a couple of wooden planks float around.

"I'm gonna go down there and check if the ship received any damage. I hope there was nopony on that boat."

Pinkie turned her attention back towards Rainbow and Spoiled Rich.

"Care to give me a lift?" She asked, while sprinting at the former captive.

"Sure thing, pal." Rainbow flipped her swords, so that Pinkie could jump on their backs and was then catapulted into the air, in a perfect arc, right at their mischievous opponent. Spoiled Rich - even more aggrivated than before, due to her daughters shameful display of weakness - bared her axe.

"You insignificant low-life. You think an attack like that could harm me? You think I am so pathetic as to run away?" Pinkie was her absolute center of attention. "The second you pest come in any way close to me, my axe will bathe in your ..."

"You talk too much", Rainbow came in and sliced her former captor up instead. Now distracted from her flying threat, she didn't even see the kick Pinkie landed in her face and sent her several of feet away. "I told you. Ten. Seconds. Flat."

Some time later on the island – the sun has set, but its shimmers were still visible from beyong the horizon - the local marines captured their captain and locked her up, much to the surprise of our heroes. Diamond Tiara locked herself up in her roomand refused to come out.

To celebrate the end of the tyranic rule of a wannabe protector of the law, the whole island came together at the Sugar Pot and Candy Cane didn't waste any time doubling the prices. Nopony cared however, since the money collected from the "extra tax" was taken out of Spoiled Rich's personal safe and given back to the townsponies.

Marines and townsponies alike, as well as Pinkie, Rainbow and Pipsqueak, shared laughter at the end of a terrible era, with the former of the three providing an even more uplifting athmosphere.

That was until a face familiar to them burst into the tavern. He was a brown Earth Pony, his black mane slicked back and his eyes underlined with wrinkles. He was wearing a white uniform and was accompanied by a purple Unicorn filly, about the same age as Pip, who dropped his spoon in his bowl apon seeing her. But the soldiers fell silent at the sight of their captain's husband.

"Lieutenant-Commander Filthy Rich!", they shouted, getting up from their seats and saluting him.

"It's Captain Rich now. I was promoted and wanted to celebrate with my family." He lowered his head in disappointment and sadness filled his voice. "A pony outside told me what happened here, so there's no need to explain." He was fighting the tears." But before I let emotions take hold of me in front of a bunch of pirates ... You there, Straw Hat." He tried to sound as professional as possible.

"You broke into a government facilty, freed a captive and not only challenged, but also defeated a captain of the Navy. Normally, you would be sentenced to a lifetime in prison, but given the circumstances I will give you time until morning to leave this island. If you and your crew aren't gone by then, you WILL be put under arrest."

"Got it." She turned to Pipsqueak. "Hey shrimp, aren't you gonna ask join them. This IS your dream, isn't it?"

"'re ya crazy? I 'elped ya free Rainbow. I'm just as guilty. And look at 'im. 'e's garn through a lot. The last fin' 'e needs is me followin' 'im 'round."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME?", Pinkie screamed at him and punched him into the wall, making another hole right next to the first one.

"What the hell was that?" Rainbow asked in confusion.

"Didn't you tell me this colt was a culprite? It seems he was taken against his will. Limit the ultimatum to just the Straw Hat and the Head Hunter."

Pipsqueak stood up from the rubble, growning in pain, but it's not as if he wasn't used to it. But he did understand what Pinkie just did. "Uhm, Sir. Actually, I dreamed of becomin' a Marine. Is there a chance that ya can 'elp me wif that?"

"You, little one, are a very unusual case. If you want to become a recruit, I will first have to ask headquarters to evaluate you."

So Pinkie made it seem like she wasn't a friend of his, in order to get him accepted. Pip couldn't believe the lengths she would go to to help him reach his dream. Although, it probably hurt him more than it hurt her. But Pinkie was already talking to Rainbow.

"I guess my navigator's gone. You wouldn't happen to know how to navigate a ship, would you?"

"Sorry, no. I was just always riding with somepony from island to island. I focussed on training. Who has the time to learn something like that?"

At this moment, another character, a Unicorn, stormed into the bar and walked up to Captain Rich. Her usually well-groomed, white coat and excellently curled mane were soaking wet.

"Excuse me! Is that your huge ship docked at the harbor?"

"Yes, it is Ma'am."

"Well, then you're responsible for crashing mine. I was just heading back from a very important business meeting and you didn't bother to take notice of me. Now, my ship is just a bunch of drift wood."

Pinkie interrupted: "If you know how to navigate a ship, you can come with us. We have nowhere to go and don't know how to get there. What's your name anyway?"

"Rarity, and thank you for the offer. But unfortunately, I also lost half of my cargo. And let me tell you it was not easy to lower the price that much."

"Again, I'm sorry. If you can give me a report on what you lost we can surely..." - "That's her, guys." Filthy Rich was interrupted by a guard pony who had seen that face before.

"That's the thief who knocked me out and stole all of the base's money." Everypony in the room looked at the wet mare in utter shock.

But she just followed calmy: "Well, in light of this turn of events", while slowly backing up mind you, "I happily accept your offer." And out the door she was, quickly followed by Rainbow and Pinkie Pie, who almost died of laughter.

On another island in the East Blue a yellow Pegasus watched over a little filly's sleep from outside her hospital window.
