"He's afflicted with scurvy. If we're not too late, He should recover just fine in a few days." Nami explained.

"Ahh don't worry. He'll be fine. Just give him a candy bar and an aspirin and he'll live. He's in the Merry after all." Spike snickered causing Twilight to glare at him.

"What? Nothing's going to go wrong Twilight. Your here aren't you? You have a healing spell for him." Spike said as the baby dragon shrugged his shoulders.

"A... Are you really telling me the truth sis?!" Johnny exclaimed with joy as hope swelled in his chest.

"Please don't call me sis." Nami answered him with a cold glare.

"She's still as cold as ever." Apple Bloom muttered.

"Yeah. She's such a mean girl, acting out like that for something so Trivial." Sweetie Belle added.

"Sometimes, I wonder if she really considers us a friend from the start." Scootaloo exclaimed with a nod to her friends.

"I CAN HEAR YOU!!" Nami scolded the three fillies who weren't at least perturbed at the way she yelled at them.

"Anyways in the past, It was practically a death sentence for sailors. It's caused by lack of nutrients found in fruits and vegetables. It was quite common back then because ships simply didn't have the technology to effectively store fresh fruits and vegetables for long periods of time..." Nami exclaimed while Ussop, Luffy, Pinkie and Twilight were pouring down mugs upon mugs of lime juice on Yosaku's mouth.

"Woow! You're like a doctor!" Luffy gazed with amazement at the sudden revelation.

"Yeah, I always knew that girl was special. Ussop's eyes are never wrong." Ussop crossed his arms on the chest with a proud smirk.

"Just stop Ussop... Please just stop..." Applejack groaned with irritation.

"Yeah... It was funny the first time around... Now its just getting tiring alright...?" Spike huffed as he covered his ears. The first few times it was amazing but the baby dragon had been hearing the same thing for so many times that it was just getting annoying for him.

"IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE SAILING, YOU SHOULD KNOW AT LEAST THIS MUCH! GOD YOUR STUPIDITY WILL BE THE DEATH OF ALL OF YOU!!" Nami tries to drill her sense into them, screaming down her throat.

"Well technically no because we have Twilight. She can just magically nurse us back to health." Luffy answered with a smug look.

"Not very smart is she?" Ussop muttered causing him and Luffy even everyone else on the ship to laugh once more causing Nami's face to turn red.

"STOP PUTTING HOLES IN MY LOGIC OKAY?!! CAN'T I LEAST BE RIGHT FOR ONCE?!!" Chibi Nami yelled causing steam to burst out her ears and nostrils.

"Now now guys, Nami still makes a Good point." Twilight intervened as she wanted to cut the girl some slack. "Over relying on my healing magic is a big no no. With how frequently bad this crew gets hurt.. My magic reserves will be draining constantly and while big they’re not infinite. You also saw how tired it makes me when I had to cure Kaya but curing you all magically all the time could have also drain your bodies really quick more so because on this world, Humans and their bodies don’t channel magic naturally." Twilight explained and that picked up their interests on the subject matter at hoof.

"Wait what do you mean they 'don’t channel magic?'" Asked a confused Rainbow Dash.

Before Twilight could say anything Moondancer interjected. "Oh wait I get it! On Equestria all creatures are magical to some degree even the animals. Their bodies are able to channel either the magic of the ambience around them or their own inner one and some even Both. It’s how pegasi are able to control the weather and earth ponies have a their unnatural strength and stamina along with a special gift for agriculture."

Twilight looks at Moondacer and smiled. "Correct! But that’s the thing! When I scanned Kaya, As I feared I found out her body wasn’t naturally receptive to magic at all and I'm afraid that goes the same for other humans and creatures on this World. It’s the main reason I ended up as tired as I was when I healed her. Tartarus, I’m sure it only worked because my magic is above average since while knowledgeable I’m not an expert on healing. So in summary yes while I can keep us in shape for a while, I can’t do it forever."

"Awww…" Luffy visibly deflated.

"Alright, I'm charged up on nutrients and ready for action!" Yosaku jumps into the air with air, making way for a celebration as Pinkie even fired her party cannon in the air causing balloons, streamers, and party favors to burst into the air. "Haha! My partner's fine now!" Johnny dances.

"LIKE HELL HE COULD RECOVER THAT FAST!!" Nami yelled out in anger as the two stopped to take their introduction poses for all to see.

"The name's Johnny!"

"And I'm Yosaku!"

"And we used to be Zoro's old pirate hunting partners!" The two men exclaimed with pride in their chest and fire in their hearts as the swords were crossed.

"Ahh those were the days huh? Isn't that Zoro?" Johnny said with a grin.

"Hmmm. We sure had a lot of fun." Yosaku added as he lights up his cigarette.

"Yeah. Who would have thought we run into each other here?" Zoro exclaimed with an intrigue smile.

"I knew it! A pirate hunter on a pirate ship?" ~Johnny

"Yeah! What's the deal Zoro?" ~Yosaku

"Nah. These pirates are okay. After all they cured you, didn't they?" Zoro said as he walks over to the two bounty hunters and gives them a handshake.

"Right!!" Yosaku exclaimed as he was about to shake Zoro's hand but the bounty hunting swordsman fell down and passes out.

"What?! No!! Yosaku!!" Johnny frantically raced to catch his friend and with the help of Twilight's magic, He was set down easy. "What's wrong with him now?!"

Later on Yosaku was resting in one of the spare rooms while Johnny and the others are having tea and cakes. What seemed to be a bad dream at first... Had later become an amazing one. Johnny's tea time with the Straw Hats was heavenly.

"Ahh! I'm so full!" Johnny burped a bit. "Phew, Your an amazing baker you know that Applejack?"

"I can bake too Pinkie Pie but your on another level." Johnny complimented the pink party mare.

"Awww shucks. Thanks Sugarcube! I worked really hard on that for years!" Applejack said with a smile.

"That's really cool! Are you in the apple baking business back home or something?" The bounty hunter asked.

"Well yeah actually! Applejack is really good when it comes to baking apples and frying stuff while I'm the professional in baking big cakes and other sweet stuff." Pinkie explained as she showed Johnny some photos of said places.

"Applejack operates Sweet Apple Acres back in Equestria while Granny Smith is the owner. They are the biggest apple supplier in the country while we're like the number one bakery ever!! Sugarcube Corner that is!!"

"Man that is soo cool!! I can tell you girls are going places!! Hope I can visit you guys someday when you get home!!"

"Sure thing partner. You can count on that." Applejack said with a tip of her hat while Pinkie gave Johnny a reassuring nod.

"Yosaku would be alright. He should have dozed inside of dance after that scurvy scare." Twilight exclaimed as she sip her tea and ate a slice of cake.

"Let this be a lesson to the rest of you... These are the kinds of dangers we'll have to face on long voyages. He would have died for sure if he hadn't come across us." Nami said as she sips her tea and munches on a doughnut.

"We definitely need someone to think about our diet to see to it that we are healthy. What we need is a chef on the sea." Zoro added as he took a bite of a cupcake.

As everyone ate, Moondancer was thinking and talking. "Zoro is right you guys. We need to ration and make sure we have the proper nutrition for this trip. So that way, none of us will get any fatal disease." Moondancer said before biting into her slice of pie.

"Yeah? Your telling me. I'm gonna get scurvy unless I've got some good food on this ship pretty soon. And we're very lucky that Pinkie Pie and Applejack are cooking right now." Ussop said as he drank his tea and took a bite of a chocolate chip cookie.

"Alright, I've decided then! Lets go look for a sea cook!" Luffy said with a wide smile. "Eating good food is never a bad thing!"

"But don't we already have Pinkie Pie and Applejack for that Brother Luffy?" Johnny asked.

"Well its not that really. I mean I like cakes, pies and bread and stuff but I also need to eat meat too you know." Luffy exclaimed.

"Yeah. Not to mention some rice balls and having a bottle of sake every now and then. I like these baked goods and they're really good but I couldn't stomach consuming the sugar every single day. I gotta have other stuff too." Zoro said.

"I agree Darling. I mean I eat ice cream for dessert and some... Other circumstances... But I also needs my salads to maintain my figure like Twilight." Rarity looks back and forth, wanting to make sure that nopony else has heard her or even question what other circumstances mean.

"Rarity is right. I'm all for having a sweet tooth but there's a time I only want to have my sandwiches and salads around. Those are mostly my comfort. Aside from fast food that I would be craving from time to time." Twilight said.

"Darn right. Pinkie and I may make some great baked goods and apple related dishes respectively, but we know little about making anything else." Applejack said.

"Yeah! Even I like to eat something other than sugar all the time! And believe me, I really, REALLY,REALLYY LOVE SUGAR! But I... Still need other stuff like any other pony." Pinkie Pie added.

"You know, I know where to find a chef. But I can't be sure he'll join us." Johnny exclaimed.

"Super! Where too?" Luffy questioned as the rubber kid practically jumped off the chair. "Lets go!"

"Its near the Grand Line. Some rough customers frequent that place. Even that master swordsman you were looking to challenge Zoro. Mihawk." Johnny explained as Zoro gave a determined grin. "That's right. You should be able to reach it in 2 to 3 hours.

"If its alright with you, I'll lead the way!!" ~Johnny.

"Alright!! Woo!! Go Johnny!!" Everyone cheered back.

"Ah, We’re at the restaurant!" Johnny announced. ""Brother Zoro! Brother Luffy! Brother Ussop! Brother Nami! Sister Ponies and Brother Dragon!"

"Why am I 'Brother'…" Nami grumbled.

"Well, You did tell them to not call ya 'Sister'…" Applejack snickered beside her and Nami just huffs in an indignant manner.

The rest just Looked ahead in amazements at ocean going restaurant called the Baratie in front of them. The Baratie is a fairly large ship. It takes an oval shape, with the normal masts but has a fish as a front-piece/head as well as a round bottom. A small array of cannons are lined on the sides, which can be used for battle. The Baratie also has four levels which is the Lower deck, which is where the main restaurant is, Middle Deck, which is the main kitchen, The Upper Deck, where twenty three cooks reside and the fins that fold out to the sides from underneath are to stabilize the restaurant during harsh weather and also are used as a battle platform to prevent the restaurant itself from receiving collateral damage.

"What do you think eh!?" Johnny asked.

"WOAH!! ARE WE REALLY GOING IN THERE?!" Minuette cheered excitedly.

"You bet we are! What a big fish! Yum!" Luffy says excitedly as he turned to his unicorn friend.

"Yeah! I like this place already!" Pinkie Pie said with enthusiasm.

"It has style." Rarity adds with posh and grace.

"Wow! This is really cool! Thanks for telling about this, Johnny!" Twilight exclaimed.

"Heh, It's-it's nothing, Little Sis Twilight." The swordsman replied to her with a bow.

"Man I wonder what they serve in there." Spike wondered.

"Us too!" The Crusaders agreed with their dragon friend.

While everyone was admiring the floating restaurant, Something caught Rainbow's attention and it immediately puts her on high alert.

"YO GUYS! LOOK!" Rainbow shouts immediately drawing everyone’s attention and there she pointed was no other thing that a marine ship.

The standard ship is a cruiser-like vessel that has three masts, two with two sails and one with a lateen sail. It has six cannons on each side of its hull and four larger cannons situated on the bow. A large circular structure is located in the middle of the ship, and the Marine symbol and name was painted on the sides.

These ships serve as the backbone of fleets stationed in the Four Blues and are often seen in large formations. Some squads of standard ships have numbers painted on either the front sail or the lateen sail that indicates the branch of Marines that squad is a part of. They are not often seen deeper into Paradise and in the New World, as they are not strong enough to handle those areas' unpredictable weather.

"Ah, great. Just what we need. Marines." Zoro muttered.

"The Marines!" Luffy said surprised. "When did they…!"

"They aren’t going to attack us, are they?" Ussop said nervously.

"Well if they do, They're going to have to contend with me." Zoro said with an angered look.

"Hey! We ain’t pirates over here!" Johnny said fearful tone and cowering behind the railings of the Going Merry.

"Ah, someone’s coming out!" Yosaku said as he positioned himself just beside his partner.

"Let me at them! I’ll knock them up and everyone else on that ship in twenty seconds flat!" Rainbow Dash said as she takes on a fighting stance.

"No!" Twilight said sternly. "We are first observing what they would do before blasting in without reason.."

"I’m Luffy." The captain rresented himself Seriously." I just finished my flag the fhe day before yesterday!"

"And I’m Usopp." The Sniper of the Straw Hats said mimicking Luffy.

"Pffft.... The day before yesterday he says…" Johnny Snickers.

"Ahaha! Good one!" Yosaku laughs as the two seemed to relax greatly after confirming they aren’t in immediate danger and even taking a puff out of his cigarettes.

Fullbody then Looks over them. "Wait a Minute, I think I’ve seen you two. You frequent the government offices on some business. If I remember correctly, You’re… Small time bounty hunters... Johnny and Yosaku... I think your Names were…So, You two finally got caught by a band of pirates, Have you?"

"Hey Yosaku, I think this bro’s sticking it to us." Johnny said.

"Well we can’t let some guys walk around calling us 'small time'" Yosaku agrees with his partner. "This ain’t gonna net us a single belli but I think we ought to teach this kid how to keep his mouth shut." Yosaku exclaimed.

"Uhh… Shouldn’t we stop them? Moondancer asked.

"Meh... Leave them be. They can handle themselves just fine." Zoro said off handedly.

"Yeah C'mon friend. How bad could it be?" Minuette added As Both Johnny and Yosaku charges towards the marine officer while Fullbody just sighs with an annoyed look.

"Sheesh… Ok... THAT BAD…" Minuette said.

"No joke... That Fullbody guy punched them on the face with that weird metal hand of his." Spike said as the baby dragon was observing the two bounty hunters.

"Y-You said that they could handle themselves!" Moondancer yelled in his face as the unicorn berated Zoro.

"Well what I meant to say was that they were always where fine on the missions back then when we were together Although it’s true that I used to rush straight for the strongest enemy… And sometimes I don't get to see them until the end of the mission even when I could swear they were at my side just a moment ago… How weird…" Zoro said with contemplation and Moondancer just smacks her face with her hoof.

"You sure you guys aren’t super weak?" Luffy boldly asked the pair of bounty hunters.

"N-no... It’s just that that guy’s not too shabby himself…" Yosaku said still bleeding on the floorboards with his partner.

"I-it was a Close one…" Johnny agreed as he coughs up a puddle of blood himself.

"What are you two doing…?" Zoro asked as he looks at the two and mildly disappointed.

Rainbow Dash took a single look at Fullbody and then whispered to Applejack. "That Fullbody looks like even that axe-hand guy would hack his butt to bloody bits…"

The apple farmer nods her head.

Suddenly from the same door Fullbody came from, A pair of arms tugged the marine inside the ship. "Darling enough beating weaklings... Let’s get going already..." A feminine voice calls out to him."

"Ah yes... Let’s do that."

The arms retired and Fullbody gives one last look towards the crew and raising his metal hand with threatening glare. "Consider yourselves lucky pirates because I'm on break today. I only came here to eat at the restaurant. But consider your lives forfeit the next time you run into me when I'm not on off duty." Fullbody said as he got out of sight and he started to walk towards the lifeboat with the aim of dining at Baratie with his date.

"Damn.. What a jerk... Why didn’t you let us pummel him again?" Rainbow asked Twilight with a raised eyebrow at which the alicorn just rolled her eyes.

"Even on this world, We don’t need to solve everything with a fight Rainbow. Look, We just resolved things without conflict!" The Princess then looked at Johnny and Yosaku and winced. "well... Not too much at least…"

On the floor though, Nami saw how various pieces of paper dropped off Johnny’s jacket.

"What’s all this Johnny?" ~Nami

"Oh those are just wanted posters Sis. It’s just another form of Business, Kill any of them and you get the reward written on the wanted poster." ~Johnny

"Not too shabby! Is it doll?" Yosaku grinned. "Though you have to bring them in alive because dead pirates have the rewards sliced in half compared to what they were originally worth."

"What he said." Johnny exclaimed pointing a finger at his bounty hunting partner.

An interested Gaimon picks up one of the bounty posters and sighs with nostalgia. "Ahhh... Good old wanted posters... We used to go nuts for these on my old crew. Always competing on who get the highest... Hmmm…. I wonder if the marines will re activate my old bounty when word gets out that I'm alive and back to piracy…" Gaimon muttered but Nami ignored him as She looks frozen at one of the pirate bounties in particular as her body tenses up.

Both Gaimon and Applejack side-eyed her but the two kept their mouths shut.

"Hey Guys!" Ussop shouted dragging everyone’s attention. "We’re on deep shit! The bastard is aiming his canon at us!" The long nose said and sure enough, the Ship of Fullbody was aiming at the front of the Going Merry from behind.

"Sink em." Fullbody ordered pointing his thumb upside down.

"Yes sir!" The marine crewman with the cannon answered with a salute before firing it.

"That scum lied straight to our faces!!"Applejack shout indignantly.

"I knew I should have made him catch these hooves!" Rainbow Dash said.

Everyone just looks dumbfounded, not even knowing how to react. Meanwhile Nami for her part, just looked exasperated and completely fed-up with it all.

In that moment Twilight arrives into the room by flying through the destruction that the cannon ball earlier had blasted through as Pinkie Pie tags along with Twilight by riding on her back.

"Hello Mister! I'm Twilight Sparkle, Alicorn Princess of Equestria." Twilight briefly looks at Luffy before she continued. "And currently the crewmate of my captain over there." The purple alicorn said pointing at Luffy.

"Hi! And I'm Pinkie Pie!" The pink mare jumped from her friend's back and engages the chef in a type of conversation of her own typical fashion. "What's your name? You've got a funny mustache! And a hat! Its really long too! Do you have hair under all of it?! How does it look?! Your a chef right? Why do you cook? Oh my Celestia! You've got a pegleg! How did you got it?! Eek!! Are you a pirate too?! A chef pirate?! That's soo cool!! But you don't get an eyepatch though, Do you maybe..." Before Pinkie could continue, Twilight promptly encased her friend inside a magical sound proof bubble and then proceeds to push Pinkie apart from Zeff.

"Hehehe... Please excuse Pinkie Pie here sir. She's uh... Really enthusiastic at the prospect of meeting new people."

Zeff just looked dumbfounded at what just happened for a bit before drawing a long breath and recomposing himself.

"Meh... Not the first time I had to deal with eccentric fellows... Although this is the first time I've seen anything like you two in my life and that's saying something... Zeff says as he looks at Twilight and Pinkie.

"Well to make things short... Lets just say we're from far, far away... Anyhow, about the damage to your restaurant...?"

"Ah yes! I'm still injured all over my body because of you!" Zeff exclaimed as he pointed at Luffy. "If you have no money then you'll have to work it off."

"Sure thing. I'll make it up to you." Luffy answered.

"Wait, But we actually do have the means to pay." Twilight added.

"What? You actually do?" Zeff asked out.

"Yeah! We call them Bits. You see... They're this gold coins..." Twilight tried to explain but Zeff cuts her off midsentence and the chef was completely astonished. "Hold up! You lot actually got gold coins?!"

"Uhh... Yeah...? For what I understand, They seem to be quite valuable around here..."

"Oh indeed they are but whenever you will be able to completely pay up the costs of what hat cannon ball destroyed depends on how much of them you have."

That made Twilight take a pause and think about it for a while. "That's right... Exactly how many bits do we got left? We weren't on an adventure when we arrive to this world so we don't have the usual amount we use for long journeys. We haven't used that much yet but it would be better not to spend them so quickly." Twilight thought.

"I admit that its probably better to work out as much damage as we can and pay the rest. So how much would it be?"

"Heh... Smart girl. Well you three will work odd jobs around my restaurant without getting paid for... Four months! Only then I'll forgive you."

"F... FOUR MONTHS?!!" Luffy, Twilight and Pinkie who got free from the magic bubble screamed in unison.

Meanwhile back on the Merry...

"Man Luffy sure is taking quite a while... You don't think they'll force him to work for like a month or something right?" Zoro asked out.

"Dear Celestia! I sure hope not! No way we're just going to wait here for that long!" Rarity exclaimed.

"He just should just explained that it was all that marine's fault. That idiot's too honest for his own good..." Applejack said.

"Heh. Reminds me of a certain someone who's also unable to lie even to save herself some trouble." Rainbow exclaimed as she side eyed a certain orange mare and making her huff.

"Come on... I ain't that bad..." Applejack said as she tries to back away from them while Rainbow just looked at her friend with flat bored look. "Look at me straight in the eye and say that the sky is purple." Rainbow challenged.

"Ah! Sure its..." Applejack said as she looks at Rainbow and sweating profusely.

"YES...??" ~Rainbow Dash

Applejack then weirdly diverted her eyes completely out of Rainbow's gaze. "Y... YUP!! THE SKY IS PURPLE!! TOTALLY PURPLE!! DANG!! ITS GOTTA BE THE PURPLEST SKY I EVER SAW IN MAH LIFE!!" Applejack said a bit too quickly then awkwardly sucked her lips inside her mouth.

"HAHAHAHAHA!!" Ussop, Johnny and Yosaku all laughed hard as the three men were slack jawed and having tears streamed out of their eyes.

"A.. Applejack Sis?! W... What the hell?!" Johnny said between laughs.

"I never in all of my life saw such a bad liar!!" Yosaku all but howled.

"HAHAHAHAHA!!" Ussop couldn't stop slapping his knees.

The rest were just fairing a bit better as Gaimon and Nami had their hands over their mouth and Peebee was silently snickering. Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders were childishly giggling among themselves and all of Applejack's friends tried to keep a straight face with a variety of results.

All the while Rainbow sports one of her most smug faces ever while an embarrassed Applejack hides her face inside her hat.

"Oh hardy har har! Yeah! Yeah! I got it!" Applejack complained when Ussop suddenly puts an arm around Applejack and surprising the apple farming mare. "Don't you worry Applejack for I, The Great Captain Ussop is willing to teach you all of his wisdom about the art of deceit!" Ussop responded sounding every bit full of himself which made Applejack roll her eyes.

"But before that why don't we enter the restaurant? We can look for Luffy and get some food while we're at it!" Ussop declared.

"Sounds like a plan!" Spike nodded with a smile.

"I guess it would be better to find Luffy before he gets in trouble." Zoro said as he stands up.

"Something tells me its way too late for that..." Nami groaned with frustration.
