Chapter 11: a new face! The leader of the mushroom kingdom!
(In The Throne Room)
wow, all that was going on, the inside the Throne room was almost filled to the brim with toads surrounding the entire room.
They all look disoriented and worried, as if something bad was about to happen.
And to be honest, yes, something bad was about to happen, something very very bad.
One of the toes pressed the button, causing the center of the floor, (which had a nice golden flower like sun design), to open up.
Once it was completely opened, a blue circular table arose from underneath the giant hole and revealed itself to the room.
After a second or two, the blue part of the circular table started to move.
Slowly, but surely little small Lego bricks started to build up and creating a little small island that looked as if it were an exact replica of the mushroom kingdom.
Not long after that, other islands started to build up and create themselves, revealing different islands, including the mushroom kingdom.
This wasn't just a table. It was an interactive table map of some sort that was built with technology that could replicate different islands and across the world.
There was a desert world, a colorful egg like world, a monkey statue looking world, a forest world, an industrial city like world, a sparkling island world, a stone covered island world, and an all too familiar ice world.
(i'll explain later on in the story why didn't add the dark lands to this)
Then, out of nowhere, the ice kingdom replica began to cover itself in flames, hinting towards something.
After the map was complete, nine different toads stepped up and surrounded it.
So, unlike the other mushroom toads, these toads wore a distinguishing tire, and made them look, as though they were a council of some sorts.
An elderly Toad with a tan mushroom head and brown spots, a wide mustache, with spectacles, and a purple vest stepped forward and spoke up.
"Council, your attention. Bular's empire has found the last remaining piece of killer head bridge and has taken it from our allied kingdom, the ice kingdom, which was destroyed, unfortunately, in the attack. and is headed toward our kingdom", the older mushroom counselor stated.
Though, as you all know, Bular did successfully capture almost all of the Penguin residence, he didn't get every single one.
One of the Penguins, who looked as if he was a young male, had entered the room, along with two other mushroom people covered in a blanket.
He was covered in deep and dark bruises with cuts scattered across his body.
Thankfully the penguin king headset, multiple groups of evacuations out of his kingdom and luckily for the poor penguin gentleman he was one of the very few that weren't captured.
Though he couldn't say where his locations comrades were
Whatever he had to do to get to them before Bueller's army got to his kingdom, he went through hell to do it.
One of the mushroom council members turned to him" can you confirm this"?He asked cautiously.
The penguin survivor shook his head"Y-yes I c-can l, my kingdom had thankfully gotten word of the attack beforehand so we were able to plan a way to escape to notify the other kingdoms, and everything was going well once we evacuated until…", he began to start trembling,"T-they came out of nowhere and s-so many of my f-friends they-they….."
Tears began to fall down the young penguin's eyes as he fell to the floor and began sobbing.
Obviously, the plan didn't go the way it was intended to, and he ended up losing a lot more than a good night's sleep.
And with him being the only one there, it paints a clear picture of what happened to his friends.
One of the mushroom people walked over to him and patted him on the back in order to comfort him.
There was a moment of silence for the penguin before the older mushroom spoke up once more, "He plans to combine its power with our power source in order to amplify it. And once he and his army successfully finish and enter the portal their weakness to the sun will be decimated and they will become damn near indestructible and impenetrable to any attack. We will be destroyed and the world will be at his grasp"!
All of the other toads in the room gasped loudly in shock at what they just heard.
If he really came to the kingdom, there's no way that be able to fend off his army and keep his plan from succeeding.
He wiped the kingdom off the face of their world and quite possibly enslaved them if he felt merciful.
Otherwise, he killed them off, one by one.
One the two yellow toad councilors turned worriedly towards the throne, which revealed the silhouette of a person sitting in it,"Princess! What are we gonna do?"
"I will not let him hurt you", the mysterious figure stepped forward from the throne, lifted up her dress, and started slowly walking down the steps.
As she walked down the steps, the identity of the princess was revealed.
Though there was something weird about her, that separated her from everyone else around her.
She didn't look like the other mushroom people.
She didn't have a mushroom shaped by you or mushroom cap on her head.
She didn't have one of the multicolored vests or little diapers on their legs.
If anything, she had a nose and everything.
Instead she had blonde hair which reached her waist in length with two sideburns and a heart‐shaped bang covering her forehead. She also wore a pair of sapphire earrings, peach‐colored lipstick, and mascara. Her outfit consisted of a floor-length pink dress with short puffy sleeves, a dark pink raised collar, hem, and panniers, and a sapphire brooch set in gold . Accompanying it are a golden crown with four jewels set in gold—one ruby at each of the front and back and one sapphire at each side (all highly detailed), white evening gloves with scalloped openings, and pink high heel pumps.
The reason she didn't look like one of them was because wasn't a Mushroom herself.
She was a human.
She was The Leader of The Mushroom Kingdom: Princess Peach Toadstool
Once she was down the steps she began to speak,"We are going to stop Bular!" she declared that she made her way down from the throne towards the map table.
The yellow toad looked at her with a shocked expression,"How? Look at us! We're adorable!"
She said confidently before walking over to the table,"Don't worry I have an idea that might be able to help everyone".
"I'm going to call a meeting of the kingdoms. All of us will gather together in one place to discuss what actions to take, and when we do, I'm going to convince them to form an alliance and gather our armies together in order to create a great army strong enough to help aid us against his empire and we'll meet at the kingdom of the Kongs. Together, we'll annihilate that monster!", she declared.
The old mushroom councilmember looked down to the floor before looking back up at her,"princess, if I may".
She turned to him and nodded.
"Your highness, there hasn't been an alliance between the kingdoms in years, so creating one right now might be more than difficult, and to make things worse the jungle kingdom's kongs and their mad king don't make alliances! The Kongs will never agree, and that's only if the rest of the kingdoms are up for the alliance as well!"
"I can convince him", she reassured before turning to a blue toad," Philip, gather a few other toads, and make way for the other kingdoms to alert them of this crisis, and for us to rendezvous in the jungle kingdom for an important meeting", she then turn to the toad council and nodded to them.
The toads saluted her before quickly running out of the room.
She then turned to another group of toads before looking at the still crying penguin soldier,"Take him to be treated for any injuries he may have".
They nodded and walked over to the penguin and helped him up and through the door.
The older toad looked down at the floor and closed his eyes before opening them back up and turning to face the room of toads," all right meeting adjourned".
And with that the mushroom people begin to empty out of the room, one by one.
Everyone of them left except the Princess and the older toad.
The two of them looked at each other for a few moments,"Wondering who was going to be the first one to speak up.
After a few more seconds, the princess started to raise her arms and prepared to speak,"I know what you gonna say-".
"YOU HIGHNESSES ARE YOU A HUNDRED PERCENT SURE A WAR IS WHAT OUR KINGDOM SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT", he interrupted her by nervously shouting his worries before quickly stopping and calming himself down.
"Toadsworth you know this has to be done", the princess defended.
The old mushroom stepped up and walked toward her," yes, I understand but it doesn't have to be in you that does it, alright all people are not fit for war you know this".
"If we don't stand up and fight, no one will, he's coming to us! We need to prepare for anything", she argued.
"Yes and the best thing we could do to prepare is to leave these lands if we have to", he pleaded.
She turned sharply to him,"So what you're saying we just up and leave and let him take our home"!
" You know better than I do that we stand no chance of finding him. He is known as the god of war for a reason, battle is what those monsters live for, for god sake's table, doing it for hundreds of years", he stated.
She turned away from him and started walking towards one of the windows, looking out into the toad town,"I know, but if we have enough people and plan this out carefully, to-".
"Penguin King Pablo probably thought the same thing you did before that demon came in and decimated their kingdom", he said before grabbing his cane and walking up behind her.
She didn't respond to that, she continued to look out of the window.
The old mushroom took a deep breath and slowly continued to walk toward her," look princess I know you want to do well by this kingdom and protect it, and you have an amazing heart for doing that, but there's only so much you can do by yourself and protecting all of us definitely is not one of them", looks down to the floor before looking back up at her," there's only so much you can do by yourself, and there isn't much you can do to change fate, not yours, not a kingdoms. What is the penguin kingdom, and I know you're upset about what happened to them and I'm sorry but there's nothing you can do to change", he tried to say it as least brutally as possible.
But it didn't really help her that much at all.
That last one made the princess lower her head in sadness.
She had thought of the neighboring penguin kingdom as one of their few allies and friends.
To hear about that kind of going through such a horrible thing was heartbreaking to her.
Which was why she couldn't just sit there, and give up before waiting for the same thing to happen to her kingdom.
She grew up with this massive family, and she wasn't about to let anyone harm it, no matter what.
She picked her head up and started walking towards the map table,"Your right, I can't change it, but maybe all of us kingdoms together can"!
The older mushroom ran after her in a panic,"WAIT WHA- NO PRINCESS YOU CAN-".
She turned to him and shook her head,"No Toadsworth, this is happening whether you approve or not, I'll leave for the Jungle Kingdom in the morning".
Mushroom was just about ready to get on his knees and plead with her," princess, if you would ju-".
(Doors swing open)
Suddenly the doors to the throne room swing open, startling both peach and toadsworth.
It was one of the royal guards of the castle.
"What's wrong?", Peach asked in concern.
"THERE'S AN INTRUDER IN THE CASTLE", the toad guard shouted.
Both the princess and the older toad gasped in shock at what they had just heard.
Toadsworth stepped forward,"How is that possible!"
"Do you know where they are now!"Peach quickly asked and she started speed walking towards the guard.
The guard nodded his head in response,"WERE CURRENTLY PURSUING HIM A FEW HALLS DOWN, HE'S A LITTLE FAST BUT I THINK WE CAN CATCH HIM WITH SOME HELP!", he suggested.
The princess nodded,"Ok if we hurry we might be able to help corner him!"she shouted as she began to run out of the throne room and out of the halls (Toadsworth and the toad guard starting to run right behind her).
They had run down a hall or two quickly, trying to find where the alleged assailant was.
But they still couldn't find him out of the halls.
They had started to quickly open up and check doors, trying to see if he was hiding out somewhere in the castle.
But to no avail.
They couldn't ring this so-called intruder anywhere.
The princess was starting to think that the reason that they couldn't find him was simply because the other toad guards had already found him and had taken him into custody.
The three of them discussed it from a moment and came to the decision that they would just head to the main guard office and see what they found.
That would be a lot easier than just aimlessly looking through outlaws to find an intruder.
They all nodded in agreement and began running towards the next hallway.
She ran a little ahead of them, wanting to make sure to keep them safe in case anything happened.
But when she turned the next hall she saw what looked to be a strange human boy running right towards her.
She saw him and was almost instantly mesmerized by him as he ran towards her,
And it looked as if when he saw princess peach, he was amazed by her.
The more he ran the closer he was to her.
When they reached out for each other as they grew, he looked as if he expected a friendly greeting from her, (unfortunately for him, that wasn't the case) when suddenly she grabbed him by the arm and threw him into one of the walls.
He crashed against it hard before slowly sliding down to the floor.
She just stood there in a defense stance waiting for him to attack.
But to her surprise, he showed no signs of movement.
Her face went pale, did she throw him too hard against the wall and accidentally killed him.
She didn't mean to kill him, just subdue him until the guards came.
This was the last thing she needed to deal with a murder incident right before dealing with the end of the world.
She slowly stepped closer to him, her goal was to check and see if he still had a pulse.
She slowly extended her arm to him before pointing her at him, in an attempt to poke him.
Her finger was about an inch away from his neck when suddenly out of nowhere, the boy jumped up from where he was lying down and quickly turned to her and rubbed the side of his head ,"OW! LADY WHATCHA DO THAT FO-"! Before the guards suddenly came in and tackled him to the ground.
Well, the ones that had tackled him down started punching and kicking him.
Other guards came and surrounded him with giant pointy spears.
He tries futilely to fend them off of him.
The older mushroom, and the guard suddenly ran into the room to see what the noise was about. When they saw the intruder being handled by the guards, the two of them decided to run over to the princess.
"Princess are you all right"?, he asked in worry.
Peach didn't respond, as she was still staring at the boy as he was being subdued by some of the guards.
Toadsworth looked over to them,"Take him away somewhere long enough for us to think of a plan to deal with him later".
The toe guard nodded before walking over to them," Alright let's see if we can get him-".
"Wait!, a voice suddenly called out.
Everyone stopped and turned to see who it was, and came to find out it was a princess herself.
The princess was completely bewildered by the boy and wanted to learn more about him.
And she wasn't going to be able to do that if she let them take him away.
"Release him", she slowly commanded.
The mushroom guard stopped for a minute, but reluctantly started getting off the boy that they had to go to the ground.
But not before one of the girls could give him one last kick in the head.
The boy hopped up from where he was standing and picked up what looked like a straw hat, and started dusting himself off and fixing himself up.
While he was doing that, She took a minute to really look at him.
He had black shaggy hair, round black eyes, and a slim but stern muscular build. He had a scar with two stitches underneath his left eye. An open, long-sleeved red cardigan with four buttons, which showed an X-shaped scar, with a yellow sash tied around his waist, blue shorts with cuffs, and sandals.
She was a little taller than him; she couldn't tell if that was because of her heels, or that was just naturally the height difference.
"Whoa... Are you..." she gasps when she slowly walks up to the boy, "He's a human! I mean, you are a human, right? It's just, you're so weird looking, and a little scrawny too, Wai-wai-wait! Let...let's go back, who are you, where did you come from, are there other humans like you here,Do all humans like you have scars like these, and what's with this hat", she said as she excitedly started grabbing and examining different parts of him.
She had heard of humans and some of the books that the mushroom people kept but to see one in real life, and actually meet one was crazy to her.
She even grabbed his hat for a second and started examining and looking inside it, causing the boy to try and reach for it.
The mushroom guards who were watching this looked on in confusion, wondering why their princess was acting so strange with the intruder that showed up out of nowhere.
Is definitely Wilson, the usual strongman stearn leader they're so used to seeing.
The older mushroom looked on in worry, having raised her to act like royalty this was certainly not what he taught her.
He loudly cleared his throat, which got her attention seeking lady that maybe she should get back into royal princess mow before curious mode.
She nodded, looked and realized what she was doing before quickly, fixing herself up,"Ah yes (ahem)", she said, placing the hat back onto a stranger's head and walking over to the older mushroom before getting back into her royalty stance.
She was a little embarrassed by the fact that you let her excitement and curiosity drive her for a little bit there, but she was able to hold it all in and get herself back in order,"Alright now sta-".
"Sorry lady can't talk, I'm busy lookin for the princess of this place", he said as he turned and began running down the hall.
The princess and her guards look at him as he ran down the hall with dumbfounded faces.
Obviously, if he was a human, he definitely wasn't the brightest one.
The princess raise her hand before shouting," ACTUALLY, I AM THE PRINCESS"!!
Once the words left her mouth, the strange boy instantly stopped in place before running backwards until he was up and close to the princess and quickly turned to say.
He placed his hand on his chin and started looking at her and then looking at the mushroom guard and then her and back, etc.
The princess was getting a little nervous at this, not knowing what the boy was doing, especially doing it so close to her.
He then suddenly looked at her with confusion,"Hey wait, you don't look like any other mushroom people".
"Yeah I get that a lot", she answered nervously before taking a step back.
"How come"?, he asked curiously.
She raises a hand,"Why don't we go through introductions first before anything else".
She then did a royal bow for her introductio," I'm The Leader of The Mushroom Kingdom: Princess Peach Toadstool."
The older mushrooms step forward," and I'm The Royal Adviser and The Head Councilor Member of The Mushroom Kingdom: Toadsworth the third".
The boy simply shrugged his shoulders, and extended his hand to her,"I'm Monkey D Luffy".
She didn't take his hand, just looked at him sternly,"Well Mr. Luffy, would you mind telling me where you came from and why you're storming through my castle?
Luffy decided to ignore the non-handshake and continue with everything else," I'm from the blue sea, well actually, the east blue, and from what one of these mushroom guys who got me here said that this is another world, you see and I'm a pirate captain there and we're called the Strawhat pirates, and me, and my crew decided to split up and take a break after we just got a serious pirate battle in a place called Wano. And I was with my friend Zoro and we decided to come back to my hometown, the east blue to lay low from the world government who are hunting us down, and we were hanging out with this little girl from my family who you could practically say is my sister, but I'm not fully sure, when this guy in a white suit came attacked us and my ship he did some weird magic thing and we have sucked through one of those green pipes out there, the three of us were traveling throughout together, but we got separate through two of the pipes tunnels and I ended up here. And now my friend might be lost somewhere called, uh the dark lands , I think is what toad said, and he told me that I needed to go to you if I needed help finding it", he explained the best he could,"Did that help"?
Both peach and Toadsworth stood there with blank faces.
This boy sounded like he'd been through a lot before he got there.
And it definitely was a tone to process for them.
Toad once again cleared his throat before speaking,"Well…., it definitely gave us a better insight on your current situation".
"Wait did you say that your friends are in the dark lands", Peach asked concerningly.
Luffy nodded his head,"Yea they said it was ruled by this guy named-".
"Bular",Toadworth said with a worried look on his face.
Peach shot him the sma relook before turning to Luffy, who in turn shot them both a confused look,"What".
"Luffy, if what you're saying is true and your friends really did enter the dark lands then it might already be…..too late for them", she sadly stated.
Toadsworth turn to him, and found his head in shame," I'm sorry lad".
Luffy looked at them both with confusion," why would you be sorry, but I know my buddy Zoro and as strong as he is, no one to take him down at least not without a really hard fight",Luffy protested.
"Look, I know this must be hard for you to except believe me I can somewhat understand, but it's a death trap in that territory anyone who goes and is immediately killed, and even if there was a chance that they had survived, it's only a matter of time until they're captured by Bulars forces, there's no way anyone could survive against them, they're just too powerful", Peach said in an almost sympathetic tone.
Luffy shook his head in response," I don't care how powerful they think they are! If this Bular guy wants to start a fight, I'll give it to him".
The mushroom guards all gasped in shock of what they had just heard.
They had never seen a stranger that can to their home ever say such brave and bold things before, other than their princess of course.
"Well if that's the case then you're in luck, I'm on my way to stop him, so maybe if I'm lucky I can help save your friends", she reassuringly said.
That last thing she said, got Luffy even more motivated to go in and get this whole thing done.
" Well then if you're going, I'm going with you", Luffy demanded.
"Out of the question this could be too dangerous for you, and you might slow me down", She argued strongly.
As curious as she was about the human, he didn't really look like he was up for much of a fight and honestly she didn't want to take the chance of him getting in her way.
Luffy wasn't really having it though, he couldn't just leave the safety of his friends with someone he didn't know, especially when he knew he could also help them out too," What, no I'm super strong and power and these are my friends that are in trouble, and I owe this bular guy an ass kicking, and-".
"And this bular ,whose apparent ass you want to kick, is a lunatic, a living psychopath, he will most likely, but definitely eat you for breakfast, he won't even notice it probably because you're very very very odd looking and scrawny, if anything you probably won't even make a full course meal, not even an appetizer", she pointed out rudely," I'm sorry, but you wouldn't be very helpful to me.
She then turned to walk away from him when suddenly once he turned around, he was right there in front of her, as if you teleported there.
She froze in shock, for she could speak, he interrupted her,"You can say whatever you want about me lady, but my friends are in danger, and your mushroom friends told me, you're the only one who can help me find them! Either way I'm gonna go kick Bulars ass! Now are ya gonna come with me or am I gonna find him by myself"?!Luffy asked in a demanding tone.
After that, the room went silent.
The toads stood there in silence as they watched the two people stare at each other intensely, waiting for the other to make a move, or say something.
The princess stepped forward towards him, still glaring intensely at him,"No!I won't help you and you're not coming with me! I have more important matters like the safety of this entire world, and my subjects, and I don't have time to help or give my trust to someone I just met not two minutes ago and find their friends that might as well be dead, now look I'm sorry about the predicament you were in and I will do the best I can to help you, but I will not trust you nor will I allow you to remain in my kingdom any longer, and as far as I'm concerned, you're lucky you're not going into a dungeon, considering the fact that you were intruding into my castle, now, if you excuse me, I have a long trip to prepare for, so good day to you, straw hat,", she then turned and walked away from him towards the throne room, never looking back once.
The mushroom guards followed after her, trying to make sure she was all right.
Luffy just stood there for a few moments angrily glaring at her as she walked away from him until she was out of sight.
And to think that he walked all the way through this kingdom just to get turned down like that.
Looks like she wasn't gonna be as helpful to him as Toad said that she was.
And now he didn't have anyone to help him save his friends.
Just then the older mushroom walked up to him slowly," I think it's best that you leave our kingdom now young lad", he strongly suggested.
Luffy took a deep breath and reluctantly turned away from him before turning and walking toward the exit where he had come in through the entrance earlier.
It wasn't really upsetting to him that she didn't want to help him.
It wasn't the first time someone didn't really trust them, and it wasn't going to be the last.
But it definitely wasn't really beneficial to him that she didn't agree to help him out, considering he had no idea where to start looking for them.
Maybe going back to that pipe he went to might somewhat help him find them.
Either way it didn't matter, all he knew now was that the princess of this place had no intention of helping him.
So he might have to go about this next adventure by himself.
(Outside The Castle)
After a few minutes of walking through the inside, he was finally able to find the front doors of the castle.
And once he pushed them open and walked outside, he was greeted to a delightfully familiar face.
It was Toad ,who was just finishing cleaning up the cooking station he used to distract the guards.
He then noticed Luffy walking out of the castle, so he quickly gathered his things and ran up to him," OK so how did it go? Did she agree to help you?"
Luffy responded by shaking his head slowly," no she said she couldn't help me because she didn't trust me, and that she had other things to attend to, but that she would do the best that she could do but she couldn't promise anything".
After hearing that, Toad shot Luffy with a shocked expression.
The kind princess really did that, to someone who really needed help from her no less.
No this couldn't be right at all, the princess loves helping people who are in need of help.
"Luffy, I-I'm so sorry, I thought that she might be able to help you with your situation, not just turn you away, there must be a reason why she couldn't help,
Toad started to apologize profusely to him.
To be honest what else could he do for him?
He brought Luffy to her in hopes that she would help him save his friends.
But instead, she refused, and sent him on his way without any help whatsoever.
This could be right, maybe he just wasn't clear enough about what he needed.
Toad continued to apologize to Luffy,"Hang on you know what, why don't we go back in there and I'll do the talking, I mean who knows she might listen to me-".
Suddenly the young captain patted him on the shoulder," Toad, buddy it's ok, I didn't really think she was going to help me either".
Toad was surprised by this,"Y-you didn't"?
Luffy shook his head before putting on a smile," well to be honest it was either that she was or she wasn't. She's got a whole kingdom to look after so it's OK but she didn't wanna help me when she's got friends and family to protect".
Event took his head off of toad shoulder before walking past him a few steps, and placing his hands on his hips," and besides what the fuck is a venture if everything's easy is it gonna be some bumps in the road and I am only going to be willing to extend a hand and help me when things get rough".
He then turns to face Toad with a wide grin," I don't know about you, but that's not an adventure I wanna go on".
Toads eyes went away after hearing that speech come out of Luffy's mouth.
How can anyone be that optimistic after quite literally being turned away like that?
Whoever this guy was, he sure was a strange one indeed.
Then after the speech Luffy started walking towards the green pipe that led back down to the town.
Toad noticed this and quickly ran after him,"Wait Luffy where you goin".
"I told ya I was gonna kick Bulars ass no matter what and I meant it"!Luffy shouted determinedly.
Told panicked after hearing that and quickly tried to reason with the young pirate," what no, Luffy listen I understand how you feel believe me you want to help your friend I get that, but you you don't even know where the dark lands are".
Luffy kept walking till he made it to the pipe,"I'm just gonna have to figure it out on my own", he said before jumping into the pipe.
Toad sighed loudly before quickly jumping in after him.
After a few minutes of being sucked through different pipes throughout the hill, they finally made it back to Toad Town.
And even when they were down there toad was still trying to talk him out of this insane idea,"and even if you did find a way there, you have no chance of winning if you go there by yourself, believe me, it's a death wish to go there, especially without anyone to help you, and believe me, I would, but I am a literal small mushroom person, and let's be honest, I'm not really built for adventure or battle".
Luffy ignored him, and continued walking through the crowds of mushroom people who were still looking at him in bewilderment.
He then turned and grabbed a knitted bag off from one of the shopping carts and walked over to one of the food stamps to grab a bunch of fruit and put them in his bag (when no one was looking, of course).
If he didn't have meat to help sustain him, then he would at least have to find something to keep him from going hungry.
Once he was done collecting fruit, he continued his way to the exit of the mushroom kingdom.
Thankfully, for him, the exit to the mushroom kingdom was more than a clear enough path for him to take, and visible too.
Toad continued to try and keep up with him and tried to reason with him,"And that's just the troll army, this guy has much more forces than that under his belt, like the koopa kingdom and the crocodile empire, both have super powerful armies, by the way, and much more".
Luffy still didn't respond as he had made it to the Main town center where the water fountain statue was at when they first arrived.
He saw the bridge that led out of town, and made his way over there until he began walking on it and making his way to the other side.
Toad continued to follow him until the bridge started to come up and he stopped before he took another step.
"Look Luffy, I understand that you want to help your friends understand you want to see them get hurt, but you can't win this fight with those monsters, I personally never met your friends, but I'm sure they wouldn't let you go out do your life away", told said pleading for him not to continue.
After hearing that last bit, Luffy stopped in while he was still in the middle of the small bridge, before turning to face the small mushroom person.
When he did Toad saw the most serious satiate ever seen as a young boy the entire time they knew each other," so I'm supposed to just let them get hurt while I sit here on my ass, I'm supposed to just be scared and shaking my sandals, while these monster guys go out of their way to hurt my friends, I don't care what other people or anyone else says, I don't care who I have to fight to save my friends, who I have to get help from to do it, because as long as I have a dream, no one can stop me and I don't care what the world says about it".
Toad was about to respond to that but something in his gut stopped him, causing him to lower his head.
Luffy then pointed his finger up in the air "Rule number 1 on my ship: is to never leave your crew or friends behind no matter what"!, he shouted before a sudden wide and determined grin formed on his face," and why would I be afraid of a little adventure?, That's the goal isn't it to go on an unexpected and unpredictable adventure?", his face went from a determined grin to a goofy smile," at least that's the last thing I remember".
He then turned his entire body around before pumping and raising his fists in the air," either way. It doesn't matter what happens because I'm not gonna lose or stop moving forward for anything, because i'm gonna be the king of the pirates"!!!!he loudly declared, getting a couple of other toads attention with it, but they just simply shrugged it off and continued what they were doing," And no matter what nothin or anybody's gonna stop me"!
Toad after hearing that, just stood there with wide eyes. He was almost feeling inspired by what he had just said.
Not only was he a pirate, but he was also trying to be a king of pirates too?
Could you even do that sort of thing when it came to being a pirate?
Luffy then turned and before waving goodbye to Toad,"Thanks for the help Toad see ya, and if I accidentally come back here one day I'll be sure to come back and check out your shop"!, he shouted as he continued walking over the bridge and began making his way back to the mushroom forest while chuckling loudly.
Toad watched l as the strange new friend that he had just made barely a few hours ago made his way over the bridge and slowly disappeared into the massive fungi forest that they had just walked out of.
A moment or two later, he was gone, Vamonos, Finito, just like that.
He had gone back out into that fungi-covered forest, but this time he wasn't coming back.
He knew he only knew the young pirate captain for a little while, but It was honestly like seeing an old friend leave you to go somewhere else.
Just straight up gone.
Toad sat there for a few, looking out to the forest,trying to process the fact that the human that he befriended was no longer there with him.
Not too long ago he was just giving him a tour around the town and showing off his store.
Now it was almost like it had never happened, as if it were all in his head.
He tried to help the young boy out by bringing him here, but all it did was make his situation with his adventure worse.
He pretty much had to bribe guards in order to get him to meet the princess.
And he might've caused a scene or two while he was walking through town.
Not to forget the fact that he had gotten his actual friend Bernie involved in this too.
And now that kids probably gonna be torn to bits by those monsters, even if he does manage to get there.
And as much as Toad wanted to go and help him out he would've probably just gotten it his way.
And that was the last thing he wanted to do, especially if it meant being a burden.
so total did the one thing that made the most sense at that moment.
He lowered his head sadly before slowly turning and started walking back towards the town.
He wasn't an adventurer or really much of a fighter, but he would go back and do what he was best at, wandering around the mushroom forest and selling things at their store where he unfortunately belonged.
(Mushroom Forest)
Luffy was trying his best to make his way through the mushroom forest.
Well he was mostly just casually walking throughout the forest while singing loudly to himself, of course.
He even grabbed one of the apples he had taken from the toad town market and took a huge bite out of it.
And after he did that he then stretched his arm out to grab one of the mushroom tree tops that surrounded him, before using it to zip himself onto the top to give himself a better view of his surroundings.
He then uses his right hand to hover over his eyes to help give him a better view of the forest and help him find something very important.
Though he wasn't just wandering aimlessly through the forest for no reason.
He was mostly trying to figure out where that green pipe he was shot out of was located at.
Though that might be a lot more difficult for him than he would care to notice
Unfortunately for him, he wasn't really all that good at directions.
He wasn't anywhere near as bad as Zoro, but not great either, which was probably the biggest problem for him.
And to make things worse he had to go and try to look for them in a whole nother dimension.
Through a green pipe that led to multiple different dimensions and places that he himself wasn't exactly familiar with.
Not to mention that those different dimensions and places led to whole other worlds that he'd never seen before.
And let's also not forget the fact that he didn't exactly know this place all too well from top to bottom either.
Thankfully, even though Luffy is sometimes simple minded, he wasn't a complete hopeless idiot.
He remembered, but the pipe they went through looked like the lava, the smoke, the burning sensation.
It was the one that was literally right next to the one he had gone through so it wasn't really that far away.
All he really needed to do was to find a pipe that he came out of from this world and go through it.
Though the situation itself probably would've been easier if he had the princesses help, they unfortunately didn't really have the best run-in with each other, which mostly caused her to refuse helping him.
But Luffy was really upset about that in the slightest bit, disappointment sure, but not really angry.
The two of them didn't really know each other, and to be honest, he didn't really need her help, at least that was fighting in defending himself.
Either way, if the princess wasn't going to help him, he would figure it out on his own and figure out he needs to look for them until he found them no matter who got in his way or who helped him.
But the bright side is he always did say the difficulty came with an adventure and this was definitely difficult.
And this adventure was no exception.
After a few moments of slowly skating around the area, he finally spotted a familiar sight ahead of him.
It was the green pipe he was shot out of into this world.
It was connected to what looked like an old ruined wall completely surrounded by mushrooms and vines.
After seeing it again with his own eyes, Luffy began to grin wildly.
There it was!
His ticket out of this place and a way to get back to his friends.
He then jumped right off the mushroom tree top and landed on both his feet, before quickly running right towards the direction of the right.
He was on his way to save his friends, and nothing in this world was gonna stop him from doing that.
Though little did he know, this world had other plans for him.
(Deeper Into The Mushroom Forest)
Deep into the forest, there were several close figures making their way towards the entrance of the mushroom kingdom.
But just before they were about to enter the entrance, the one in the front, put his hand up to stop the rest of the group from continuing.
The group did a cell stopping right in the tracks as they were told.
The one in the front (who you could assume was the leader of this group) turned to the others before taking a step closer to them.
"Alright everyone remember the plan so that I don't have to go over it multiple times", the leader loudly whispered to his followers.
Most of the other cloaked group members all nodded their heads.
Well, all except one figure who by his size was a lot bigger than most, if not all of his other group members.
He responded by raising his hand up midway in tilting it back-and-forth,"Eh, kind of but not fully sure I was kinda going to ask a little later, but I'm glad you asked now".
The leader froze for a second before slapping his hand on his face," Wait, what the-", (sighs)," how do you not remember the plan, we literally went over this at the staff meeting".
The bigger figure responded by shrugging his shoulders," hey remember I couldn't get there in time because I had other staff work to do. I mean I came a little late so I got to the end of the plan but not like the full plans, and that's why I wanted to go over one more time".
"Are you fucking kidding me-?", (stops and pauses before continuing)," how could you not attend the meeting on time you knew everyone had to be there"!, the leader loudly whispered.
" I knew, but I didn't have time to find anyone to cover my shift for it, so I had to speed run through my work a little bit. You know how the boss is when we don't complete our assignments", the big guy argued.
The leader grunted loudly in frustration before quickly calming himself down and looking up at them,"OK before we continue, does anybody else need to know the plan before we go through with that plan? If you do raise your hand"!
After a couple seconds of waiting every cloaked figure in the group, other than the leader, raised their hand.
Guess that no one was really listening much to the making of the plan.
The leader was about to grab again and frustration before quickly stopping and himself they need to focus on a mission as quickly as possible.
He walked up and around the mall up into a circle," all right now here's the plan one last time! We are going to march in there and Ruff up a couple of those little toad mushroom guys, whatever they are! And cause a big enough commotion to get the attention of the princess which will cause her to leave her precious little castle and make her way down to the town! Then we're gonna have a few of us trying to fight and distract her while some of the other guys unleash our secret weapon and threaten to use it on the entire town if she doesn't cooperate and surrender herself to us".
After he fully explained the plan as quickly and as clearly as possible, he looked around before asking," all right now you know the plan, does anyone else have any questions"?
Every other club figure shook their heads, well, everyone, except once again, the big guy who then raised his hand," Oh I'm sorry wait could you explain it again? I was busy checking something out."
The leader just stood there and stared at the obviously idiotically subordinate before just shaking his head and walking away from them," yeah, no no we're just gonna fill you in as we go along".
The big guy simply shrugged his shoulders in response.
The leader of the group started walking towards a certain giant box that some of the other cloaked members were carrying and placed his hand on it," is it up and ready"?
One of the cloak members quickly nodded his head," Yep, it's up and ready to eat because we had to feed him for a while so it's a little riled up".
The cult leader smiled underneath his hood, and walked away from him toward the town," good good good, now let operation capture the princess begin now"!
After he shouted that they all started making their way towards the mushroom kingdom, looking as if they were up to no good.
(End of chapter of chapter)
Hey guys!
Finally, we got to meet the legendary, princess peach herself, or at least a Luffy did anyway.
Now, I know some of you were gonna wonder why I didn't have peace just to agree with helping Luffy out.
You will have to take it into consideration in the fact that yes, Peach just automatically agreed to help Mario. We were also used to the chemistry between the two of them throughout the games over the last 40 years.
So it would be normal for them to just automatically hit it off.
But the two characters in the story have never once met in any sort of media, other than Fanfiction.
So it wouldn't make sense to have those two just automatically all over each other when they've had no sort of relation at all.
So when it comes to building up a new relationship and chemistry like this one between these two characters, you have to take it slow.
Hence why I decided to not have her agreed to help Luffy right off the bat.
He will need to earn her trust throughout the story as she will need to earn his.
I'm so excited to see how you guys will get to witness firsthand the relationship between these two which will be incredibly cute and adorable.
Though it'll start off puppy at first, they'll naturally warm up to each other throughout the story.
And so I hope you enjoyed this chapter more. Will be coming soon and believe me you're not gonna see it coming well, unless you have future vision or just good at predicting stuff.
Till then!
P.S.: oh, and before you panic, no Princess Peach will not be kidnapped right off the bat in this story. Who do you think I am, an idiot?
