After sicking the twins on him with their “Duel Hitachiin Beam”, which insidently was two high powered flashlights, Nekozawa agreed to do everything in his power to send the adrift and astray individuals back from whence they came.

“It’ll take some time.” He said “Sending back demons is always more complex than summoning them. I need to get all new components and time to prepare…”

Nekozawa gloomily shuffles off leaving everyone wondering why he had been trying to summon demons in the first place, and the more disturbing question; what would he have done with the demons if he had successfully summoned them?

In the mean time The Mugiwara Pirates had to make the best of their situation.

Kyoya fabricated and organized an explanation and situation to justify the strange group’s presence.

They were a group of students visiting from a school overseas sponsored by the Ohtori Group. They were said to be from some obscure little town no one ever heard of in a European country everyone kept missing the name of. Robin and Chopper, in his “human” transformation, were the chaperoning teachers. The twins happily provided cute and trendy uniforms for the group to wear.

The next day Ouran High School was all astir with news of visitors from another school.

Robin and Chopper got to relax in the teacher’s room chatting and having tea while the rest were set up in Tamaki and Kyoya’s class.

“Um…” Started Nami as she quickly thought up some kind introduction for themselves as the group stood execution style in front of the class “We’re students from Going Merry Academy and… um…well what can I say about Going Merry Academy?”

“Ooh!” A girl in the front row raised her hand excitingly

“Um yes?” Nami smiles nervously acknowledging the girl.

“What kind of things do you study at Going Merry Academy?” the girl asks

“Oh! Um well, that’s a very good question…”Nami smiles thinking. Making up stories on the spot was harder than she thought. She turned to their resident teller of tall tales. “Ussop…tell them about the types of classes we study at Going Merry Academy…”

Ussop smiles and takes up his proud boasting stature. This was his element. “Well! There are many different things one can study at the prestigious and renowned Going Merry Academy. It’s not really what you would call a traditional school… it’s more of a trade school really. Like, um for example…. We have a really good culinary arts course and Sanji here is studying to become a great chef.”

There was a collective ‘ooh’ from the class.

“In fact!” Ussop continues “In the all region cooking competition Sanji won the title “Best in East Blue, um…Blumington.”

“Wow.” One girl said “I wanna try food made by the best chef in East Blumington”

“Me too.” Giggled another girl

“And me.” smiles another

Sanji was suddenly by the group of girls taking one of their hands “Ah! Such flattery and complements from such lovely ladies is something I hardly deserve. It would be a great honor and my extreme pleasure for my humble cooking, made with love from my heart, be sampled by a group of charming and exquisite young beauties like yourselves.”

The girls suddenly turn bright red and give out collective girlish squeals of delight.

“Who does he think he is?” Tamaki whispering to Kyoya “Spouting out such absurdly extravagant complements is utterly ridiculous.” Tamaki was definitely getting heated over the coming of a new potential rival.

“Now that’s the pot calling the kettle black.” Mutters Kyoya.

“Hm?” Tamaki asks

“Nothing.” Smiles Kyoya. “But really” Kyoya thinks to himself “We really don’t need another Tamaki. One’s more than enough.”

“Sanji-kun.” Nami says smiling with her teeth clenched “Come back over here please.”

“Hai! Nami san!” Sanji smiles and obediently zips back up to the front of the class with the others.

“Hmm.” Kyoya murmurs “At least this one has an owner that can control him. If only we had a way to put a leash on Tamaki…”

“Hm?” Asks Tamaki

“Nothing.” Smiles Kyoya as he goes back to listing to the long nose boy skillfully weave a web of lies taking notes of some things so he too could help keep up the façade.

“…then Nami here is studying Cartography and Navigation” Ussop continues “And I am in the prestigious field of science and invention. I’m such a genius, that the school has given me my own workshop and lab with materials to work with. Me and 8000 members of our countries scientific community work together and exchange ideas from all over, all for the advancement of our society.”

“Not to mention your storytelling hobby.” Comments Zoro and the others snicker.

“Heh heh.” Ussop laughs uneasily “Yes Zoro that’s right, on the weekends I go to the local orphanage and read stories to the children.”

“Ne ne!” Says another student “Do you have clubs at Going Merry Academy?”

“But of course! We have lots of great clubs.” Says Ussop “Luffy is the Head of the…um…Food Appreciation Club. They sample the food made by Sanji and others in the culinary class… um ya.”

“Haha! I wanna join that club.” Says one student

“Us too.” giggles the group of girls that talked about wanting to tastes Sanji’s food before. They all smile and wave at Sanji.

Sanji waves back with his goofy grin on his face.

“And Zoro here is captain of the um well I don't know what they call it in this country...”

“I believe here they call it Kendo.” Says Zoro dryly

“Ah! Yes, yes that’s right!” Nods Ussop “Zoro’s captain of the Kendo Club and practices the rare and difficult Three Sword Technique.”

“Three Swords! Wow! I wanna see that.” Says one of the male students

“Ya that would be cool!” Says another

“We should have a match set up with him against Mori Sempai.”

“Ya!” There was a lot of excitement in the class about that.

As soon as their introduction was over class members gathered around to talk more with the strangers from a strange land. The group was overwhelmed with hundreds of questions all at once.

“I’m sure there will be time for questions later.” Says Kyoya, to the rescue “But right now it’s been scheduled that our guests enjoy a tour of our lovely campus.”

Kyoya, followed by Tamaki, ushers the group away from the mob and out of the class.
They were very glad to be able to breathe again.

“Wha! I'd rather be interrogated by the Navy than go through something like that again.” Sighs Nami

“I’m Hungry” says Luffy “When’s Lunch”

Nami sighs “Is there ever a time when you’re not hungry?”

“Hmmm.” Luffy thinking “Nope! I don’t think so.”

“I was a rhetorical question dumb ass.” Says Sanji “We all know you’re a human bottomless pit.”

"Rectal Question?” asks Luffy

“Rhetorical.” Says Zoro “It’s a question you’re not really supposed to answer.”

“Ah! I see.” Says Luffy

“Really?” Asks Nami

“It’s a mysterious question.” Grins Luffy

The rest sign and hang their head. “I thought so.” They say

Kyoya laughs “You’re quite the interesting group of characters aren’t you?”

“Interesting is one way of putting it.” Sighs Nami “Though I wouldn’t be throwing stones… what about you and your little band of merry womanizers?”

“Hahaha!” laughs Kyoya “Credit for that goes to this genius right here.” Gesturing to Tamaki.

“Yes, yes that’s right. It was my genius that came up with such a marvelous idea.” Smiles Tamaki, patting himself on the back. “And it was my charisma and charm that brought such interesting and unique characters to our illustrious club. Isn’t that true Kyoya?” But when Tamaki turns to look back at Kyoya the group they weren’t paying attention at all.

“Unfortunately lunch isn’t for another hour.” Says Kyoya “In the mean time how about we show you around? We should bring Miss Robin and your deer friend as well. This way.”

“Haaai --.” Says the group following Kyoya

“Come on Tamaki.” Kyoya calls back “Be a good host and stop sulking in your sad corner of dejection.”
