Twenty years ago, the lion's legendary last stand. Marineford would know war.
"Shiki!"
Garp barreled forward, but his target merely danced in the air.
"Are you just going to fly away, coward!?" he shouted.
"As if I'd run from you chumps!" Shiki barked back, working his arms above his head. "Behold, the decimation of your precious so-called 'peace'!"
Garp squinted into the dusk. "What the..."
"Garp, get down!"
By the time Garp could make out the projectile ship in the sky it was too late to dodge, but thankfully Sengoku snatched him out of harm's way just in time.
"Hmph!" said Shiki, preparing another Marine vessel fastball. "Looks like you haven't had enough!"
"Looks like he doesn't have total mastery over his fruit yet. Garp, let's finish this before more Marines get hurt," said Sengoku with steel.
"Aye aye!"
And so Sengoku assumed his Buddha form and lobbed Garp at the dread pirate at maximum velocity.
"Eh?" panicked Shiki.
"I was a match for Roger!" Garp's cheeks flapped as he soared overhead and he clenched his fist. "You think you're a match for us!?"
Shiki tried to fly away, but the Fist managed to clobber him right on the forehead--which could not have helped Shiki's situation mentally.
---
"F-fly away?" Hannyabal stammered.
Shiki's leg blood drip drip dripped from the darkness, an image Hannyabal would not soon forget.
"Yes, I think I shall. My stint in 'hell' has cleared my mind, so I must offer my gratitude. Roger's era was in the past; I must focus on reaching ever new heights if I'm ever to escape his shadow. But when I return, you can make damn sure I'll force the World Government to experience a hell they could scarcely imagine! JIhahahahahahaha!"
---
"Offered his gratitude?" Magellan grilled him, reviewing the grainy footage a fifth time.
"I had nothing to do with his escape, I swear!"
"I believe you, Hannyabal-kun, but the higher-ups may not," Magellan sighed. "Whatever you do, do NOT entertain ideas of leaving Impel Down. You must now surrender your entire life to this place, and play it by the book, or else you will arouse too much suspicion."
"I, I'd never just fly away! Keeping the world safe from pirates like Shiki is my duty!" Hannyabal vowed.
"Glad to hear it," Magellan smiled slightly. "When I become warden, I'll never let a single criminal flee from hell's clutches!"
Hannyabal looked up at his superior with admiration. He would follow his example, no matter what!
Zoro woke up to the sound of hooves clicking on wood from the dock up to Sunny’s deck. Checking the sun he knew that it was strangely early for any of the rest of the crew to be back from wandering the town. He had pulled the short straw for guard duty and was diligently snoozing watching their ship for the day.
The others had happily gone on their merry ways, some pairing up let’s go shopping Robin-oneesan and some going alone I need some more SUUUPER shirts but all were still expected to be gone for a couple more hours at least.
So it was a surprise for Zoro to see their little doctor already back on the Thousand Sunny with a bag of medical supplies and a slightly gloomy face.
Chopper turned to go head into the infirmary when he saw the swordsman and jumped, hiding behind the mast wrong way again before realizing that it was just his nakama.
“Oh, Zoro. I forgot you were staying on Sunny today.”
Zoro stared at the little reindeer for a couple of seconds w-what are you looking at you bastard? before sighing and walking over to him.
Crouching down to get at almost eye level, he asked “What’s wrong?”
With those words his nakama’s eyes started to water a little. “It’s nothing! I just…I was walking past a park and I saw something that looked fun, that’s all. But I don’t need that, because I’m a pirate and I have lots of fun and adventure anyways and I’m-”
“Chopper, just tell me what it was.”
The doctor blushed and whispered it right into Zoro’s ear. He then pulled back and looked away but that’s okay, I don’t need it, I’m a man who doesn’t need such childish fun and thus missed seeing the uncharacteristic grin spread across the swordsman’s face.
And when the rest of the members of the crew slowly started to trickle back home, they were presented with the sight of Zoro running across the grass with Tony Tony Chopper held up high, arms spread wide and shouting “Eaaaaagle!” again and again.
Hey, I want to join in! My turn, my turn!
Ah, family bonding.
------ I watch Scrubs too much. Prompt: black cherry
I think my heart just exploded a little. This was just too cute~! &hearts
Ur, I don't write fic, so please excuse this less-than-stellar attempt. Your story inspired a similar Chopper situation XD
________________________
Chopper loved sweets. He didn't normally have any issue with this fact, but after Enies Lobby and that 50 Beri wanted poster came out, he was much more conscious about it. He tried to give up sweets completely at first, to prove he was a man and didn't need them. Unfortunately, that didn't last very long, as Sanji's cooking was impossible to ignore.
Which is why, as everyone was out exploring this new island on their own, Chopper was very discreetly trying to reach a small cluster of black cherries hanging from a tree. The tree was abnormally tall, and Chopper was choosing purposely to stay in his walking point form to not draw attention to himself. Sure, he could reach it with his heavy point form, but that might attract attention and he didn't want to be seen going after anything sweet.
Standing up on his back hooves and putting his front hooves against the tree, Chopper tried to stretch himself to grab the cherries with his mouth. Just a little further...
"Chopper what are you doing?"
Chopper, startled, quickly turned back into his brain point form and hid behind the tree (the wrong way). Sanji was standing about 10 feet away, smoking a cigarette and looking at him curiously.
"Oh, Sanji, it's just you. I-I wasn't doing anything! Wh-why do you ask?"
"It looked like you were trying to get some of those cherries down from the tree. Why don't you just transform so you can reach them?"
"I wasn't trying to get the cherries!," Chopper yelled guiltily. "I... I was trying to get some of the leaves! For medicinal purposes. Black cherry tree leaves are good for... um... and I didn't transform because..."
"Alright, whatever." Sanji said. He was trying to hide a smile. "I'll leave you to it then." And he turned around and walked back the direction he came.
Chopper pouted a little. He hoped that he hadn't been found out, and he started thinking again about how to get the cherries inconspicuously or if he should just give up. Just when he was thinking he might have to give up, he heard something approaching, and fast. He turned around, ready to transform--
"VEAL SHOT!" Sanji came flying over Chopper's head and smacked leg-first into the cherry tree. Thousands of clusters of black cherries fell on Chopper's head.
"What are you doing!? You almost took my head off Sanji!" Chopper yelled.
Sanji looked at Chopper, still trying to hide a grin. And failing. "I just thought I could use some of these to make a black cherry pie later. Plus, now you have your leaves."
It was true. A few hundred leaves had fallen down with the cherries. Chopper realized he had to actually start thinking about what the heck he was going to do with the leaves. Maybe he could make something of them after all. Chopper blushed guiltily, turned to Sanji and grinned widely.
--------
That night Sanji made 10 black cherry pies. Actually, they ended up having cherries every day for the next month. Cherry ice cream, cherry danishes, cherries jubilee, cherry smoothies. And Chopper ate them all. Well, the rest of the crew was eating them, he told himself, so who was he to be the only one left out?
After all, it really was impossible to ignore Sanji's cooking.

Er, this may be a bit crass, seeing as it's not even mine (it's actually fan-art for a fic I wrote), but here's a green Zoro-ducky that you just reminded me of!

I bow down to your greatness. Please accept my firstborn as proof of my undying awe.
Zoro was a mans’ man. A broad, muscled, testosterone-filled mountain of masculinity. He was sweaty and smelly to boot.
I don't even... THERE ARE NO WORDS! XXXXDDDDDDDDDD
(And ahahahaha - yes Nami would make him wash. She rules that ship with an iron fist &hearts)
‘Squeak?’ Zoro blinked and glanced down at the ground. Amongst the bottles of soap and sponges lay a bright yellow rubber duck.
I just about died XD

I like what you did with the italics; kinda reminded me of an RP post.
