One Piece Spring Break Race-to-the-Beach AU.
The race starts at 11pm, goes through five states, ends at a beach house large enough that it was once filmed on MTV.
The prize? Glory. And gas money.
The cars are as follows;
The Merry. Usopp’s beat up Volkswagen Jetta with Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji.
The Sunny. Franky’s modified school bus with Franky, Robin, Chopper, Brook and Jinbei.
The Punk. Kid’s 30 year old red jeep, with just Kid and Killer. In it for glory.
The Tang. Law’s perfectly clean Audi. Contains Law, Bepo, Penguin and Shachi.
The Phoenix. Sabo’s smart car with Sabo, Ace and Marco.
Hour 1; 11pm
The East Blue immediately starts in the wrong direction. Nami is screaming at Zoro. He does not get to drive anymore.
The Punk cuts off The Tang getting onto the interstate. There’s cursing on both ends. Law swears revenge.
The Sunny is playing Coldplay exclusively, as Franky says it’s “tradition”.
The Phoenix is taking “a shortcut”. They may be lost.
Hour 2; 12am.
The East Blue: Zoro and Sanji are asleep. Luffy has eaten all of the road snacks.
The Sunny: Chopper is also asleep. Robin is reading aloud from her book on decomposition.
The Punk: has hit 100mph. Killer is on cop-watch.
The Tang: has delegated a sleep rotation for maximum wakefulness. The rotation has already fallen apart as Shachi has revealed the crate of Monster energy.
The Phoenix: shakes when it gets over 60mph.
Hour 3: 1am.
Cars have entered The Mountains.
East Blue: Luffy drives for 15 minutes before Nami bans him for going too fast on curves.
Sunny: does not do well on inclines. Jinbei does not go over the speed limit.
Phoenix: has found the secret tunnel THROUGH the mountain.
The Punk: has received their first speeding ticket. Kid’s plates are expired.
The Tang: currently in first, because Penguin slammed two monsters and sped past the Punk while they were pulled over.
Hour 4: 2am.
The East Blue: Usopp is the one driving when they hit The Deer. No one is hurt but the car is Totaled. Usopp is in tears and Luffy is trying to cheer him up by reading from riddles dot com.
The Sunny: gets the distress call.
The Punk: gets a second speeding ticket. Killer takes over because Kid speeds more when he’s angry.
The Tang: Shachi and Penguin have a meltdown when they realise Biscuit World is closed. Bepo says they have biscuits at home.
The Phoenix: Ace is upset they won’t let him drive. He has narcolepsy.
Hour 5: 3am.
The Sunny: Nami takes over driving. Franky refuses to stop playing Coldplay. Brook is offended about this, he brought his whole mixtape collection. Usopp is in mourning. Luffy is so happy to be around more friends.
The Punk: killer gets a speeding ticket.
The Tang: shocking everyone, Bepo hits 110mph going down the mountain. He is screaming. Law bans him from driving.
The Phoenix: Stops for gas and picks up a hitchhiker named Teach
Hour 5.5
The Phoenix: Marco physically removes Teach from the car. The car is, at the time, doing 60 mph. Fuck that guy.
Hour 6: 4am.
The Sunny: has stopped for gas. Luffy is walking in circles around the bus, humming offkey Coldplay. Zoro, Usopp and Chopper are watching him with worried eyes from inside the bus. Sanji is inside buying all the beef jerky they have.
Punk: hits a cow and flips. Kid and Killer both wear their seatbelts very responsibly (??) and are fine.
Tang: passes Punk. Shachi is driving. Turns back. Law is screaming that he won’t let them in his car. Law is overruled because Penguin and Killer have a Stardew farm co-op.
The Phoenix: Marco and Ace are making out. Sabo regrets this passenger combination.
Hour 7: 5am.
The Sunny: Jinbei and Brook and Nami are asleep. Chopper has mistakenly drunk an energy drink and has stopped blinking. Sanji and Zoro are arguing in whispers as Nami is asleep on the bench next to them. Luffy licked a window when it fogged up.
The Tang: Law is driving. Bepo is shotgun. Penguin is sitting on Killer’s lap, and Shachi is squished between Killer and Kid. Law is FUMING. He and Kid are in an intense argument about toll roads versus back roads.
The Phoenix: Ace is asleep again.
Hour 8: 6am.
The Sunny and the Tang are in the flat states near the coast. The Phoenix is taking backroads and has lost GPS signal.
Hour 9: 7am.
A firefly has been squished on the windshield of the Sunny, and Luffy, Usopp and Robin are OBSESSED. There’s glowing goo all over the windshield. Sanji is cowering behind Zoro at the back of the bus. Nami is, thankfully, asleep.
The Tang has broken the sound barrier, because Law is still driving and he needs to get OUT OF THIS CAR. Penguin is straddling Killer. Shachi and Kid might start hate fucking soon. Bepo is asleep.
The Phoenix has stopped at a 24 hour antique shop.
Hour 10: 8am.
The sun is rising. The Sunny is in the middle of a Britney Speaks sing-along led by Brook, even though Franky won’t turn the Coldplay off.
Robin is driving. At a red light, she sees The Phoenix at the opposite side of the intersection. She says nothing.
The Tang stops for gas, and Law stumbles out and onto the ground like a man at an oasis in the desert. He goes inside and buys gas station sushi because a strong man chooses how he dies.
Hour 11: 9am.
The Sunny is in the right state! The end is near! Zoro has fallen asleep in Sanji’s lap and Sanji seems to be having a crisis. Franky and Robin are holding hands. Luffy is attempting to crawl onto the roof at every red lighy.
The Phoenix and the Tang pull up next to each other at a stop light. Ace is asleep on the back seat but Marco and Sabo wave. Law gives them the middle finger and Bepo apologises. Penguin’s fingers are under Killer’s mask and no one wants to talk about it.
Hour 12: 10am.
The Sunny drives over the bridge to the island where the beach house is located! There is rejoicing!! They’ve made it!!
…except it turns out the island is still a 20 minute drive from one end to the other. Nami spots the Tang right behind them out the window.
Nami screams at Franky to Floor it. Franky Floors it. Law, who has not slept at all and needs to get away from whatever is happening in the back seat, also floors it.
Luffy manages to get the emergency hatch at the top of the bus open and crawls onto the roof, waving wildly
Yelling for Torao to look at him as Zoro grabs onto his ankles to keep him attached to the bus.
Kid sees Luffy and starts yelling at Law to speed up. Law yells at Kid that it’s a single lane road. Penguin is making out with Killer’s mask. Shachi’s hands are… somewhere.
They race down the waterfront road as the bus shakes from exertion and the Audi purrs like a kitten. Everyone is screaming.
The Tang drives into the opposing traffic to try to overtake the sunny just as they reach the beach house at the very end of the lane
There’s a squealing of tires as they both brake to a stop on the lawn, mere inches from the front door.
Chopper stumbles out onto the sand, having lost years off his life in the last few seconds of that race.
Law gets out and starts throwing rocks at everyone in the back
Then, the front door of the beach house opens and Ace walks out, roast beef sandwich mid bite.
Everyone stares at him.
“Hey,” Ace says. “What took you so long?”
Nami wails.
Luffy scampers all the way onto the Sunny’s roof and jumps at Ace.
Ace does not catch him.
Killer and Penguin are making out on the sand, killer’s mask partially up.
Zoro and Sanji are… in the back of the bus. Doing… something.
Jinbei starts unloading luggage.
After recovering from his fall, Luffy jumps over to Law and drags him in to pick rooms.
