Crazy Christmas
It was a quiet day on the Grandline, sunny and warm. Not a cloud could be seen in the sky. And apart from a few birds that flew into the water here and there to catch a smaller fish, nothing was heard until ...
"I HAVE HUNGEEEEEEER !!!" This scream pervaded almost the entire Grandline. He came from a small ship, the bow of which was adorned with a sun-shaped lion's head. A light wind was blowing through the orange trees, making the leaves rustle.
"Stop yelling around here like that," it was Nami who tried to calm her captain Luffy with a hit on the head. "If you really want something to eat, try harder fishing!"
Robin, reading a book, was not bothered by the conversation, Zorro didn't notice anything because he was asleep as usual and Brook kept playing his music and just laughed at what was happening.
Luffy just put his hand on his stomach and said a little defiantly: "But nothing wants to bite ... Can't Sanji just cook something?"
That earned him the second blow, this time not from Nami, but from Sanji, and actually it was more of a kick. "If you hadn't gone back to the supplies last night, I could prepare something!"
Usopp, Chopper and Nami just sighed. But suddenly something was pulling on the string.
"Quick, pull it out, Luffy!", Sanji said cheeringly. But it wasn't that easy, because whatever was hanging on the string offered great resistance. "Sanji, help me," Luffy managed to get out of his efforts. The cord tightened and tightened. And meanwhile not only Luffy and Sanji were pulling on the rod, also Chopper, who had transformed himself into his human form, and Usopp now actively helped. The resistance seemed to be weaker, then suddenly the sky closed. Brook stopped his music and the otherwise calm Robin was surprised when it suddenly started to snow. It was like someone flipped a switch. In the distance a shadow came flying closer and closer. It only approached the Thousand Sunny very slowly. The crew of the ship was now less calm. Everyone except Chopper and Usopp let go of the fishing rod and took up position to forcibly bring the flying thing onto the ship.
"Finally something to eat," Luffy called to my bright eyes.
"A fat flying snake that can be sizzled well in marinade," said Sanji, just as loudly.
But when it was almost over the Sunny, everyone realized that it was just a flying carriage. "I'll grab the part anyway! Gum Gum ...", Luffy was about to start an attack when Nami intervened again. "Stop thinking about food for once, Luffy!"
"Could you stop arguing and help us?" It was Chopper who called his friends over. He was still holding on to the rod with Usopp.The growing hunger caused Luffy to drive at full speed again. Immediately he came to the aid of his two fishing friends, and Sanji and even Zorro, now awake, took part. They pulled and pulled and all of a sudden they managed to pull something out of the sea. Everyone fell backwards and the prisoner flew high into the air and just got stuck on the flying sledge, which had almost flown over the Sunny. Due to the weight of the pirates, the sledge fell and landed with a crash on the bow of the ship.

"What was that now?", Nami asked puzzled. And at the same moment a figure came up to her, holding his back.
"Hoho, what happened now, where am I?"
It was the voice of an old man that spoke there and came closer and closer. Curious because of the noise, Frankie, who had been working in the engine room until recently, came on deck.
"Hello Santa," Robin said with a friendly smile, as if they were best friends.
"WHAT? THE SANTA CLAUS?" Came the stunned mouths of Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, Frankie and Nami.
Sanji looked puzzled. "I always thought there was no such thing."
But Santa just laughed. "Yes, yes, as you can see I exist, Sanji."
"How does he know my name from?", Sanji asked puzzled, but Robin already knew the answer. "Well, he knows everyone's name."
"Quite right, quite right," he said, dressed in red. "Tell me, what just happened? I flew unsuspectingly over the Grandline and suddenly a huge anchor on a fishing line lands in my back seat."
"Then it wasn't a huge sea monster?" Luffy was more than disappointed at this realization and fell on his bottom. "But I'm so hungry."
"Santa Claus," Nami began to explain, "it was like that. Our captain here," she looked at Luffy grimly, "ransacked the refrigerator last night and has been complaining for hours that he's hungry. We have him for Strafe fishing, but apparently the only thing that took a bite was that anchor that they all pulled out of the sea with a swing. "She sighed. "So it was by no means our intention to crash you," she added, disguised in a friendly manner.
"Hohoho", Santa Claus had to laugh again, "Oh, that was it. So it wasn't malicious, was it? Well, then I will forgive you."

Nami, now with the Berry mark in his eyes, thanked him very much. Maybe he has presents for us, she thought.
"Well, I can't fly any further unless you help me repair my sled," remarked Santa Claus.
"Do you mean this one?" Asked Franky, who just tightened the last screw.
"Y ... yes, exactly that," said the white-bearded man, amazed. "You are really a couple of good guys, even though you are pirates. You know, normally I get attacked by pirates because they mistake me for some kind of flying monster."Nami scowled at Sanji and Luffy "Yeah, I can well imagine that".
"Hohoho, be that as it may, I want to show my appreciation," said Santa Claus with his laugh and went to his sleigh, on the back seat of which was his sack of presents. He reached in once and then turned to Luffy. "For you, Luffy, a top-class bento, enjoy it."
"Awesome, finally something to eat", Luffy said happily with shining eyes and started his meal straight away. Santa Claus was just happy about it.
"And for you, Nami, I have a collection of the best quality feathers all over the Grandline."
“Wow, thank you, Santa Claus.” Nami took the feathers and was very happy about them. It's not cash, but this is great too, she thought. "With it I will be able to draw wonderful nautical charts."
"Yes, you will for sure," she confirmed the red-clad, "but continue with the text. For Sanji I have a number of the finest spices."
"That's great, I'll take you to the kitchen in a minute," Sanji said gratefully and went straight to the kitchen.
Now Santa turned to Zorro.
"Well, for you, Zorro, I actually planned weights, but I wouldn't be able to carry the ones you would be happy with. That's why you get a high-quality polish set for your swords from me."
"Not bad," Zorro agreed and accepted the gift.
Then it was Usopp's turn.
"I brought you a sack of Diale, some of which are very rare. You will surely be able to use them."
"Definitely!", Usop cheered and sat down with the sack to one side and looked inside.
"Now to the little moose," said Santa Claus. "I brought cotton candy for you. Enough to fill you up with it. But brush your teeth afterwards too."
"I will, thank you Santa Claus," said the little chopper and happily nibbled on his delicacy.
"For both of you," he turned to Brook and Franky, "you each have six bottles of Coke and the finest milk."
"Yohohohoho, long live the calcium," Brook said as he began to spin in circles.
"That gives enough power", said Franky and posed as usual for him.

Finally, Santa turned to Robin.
"And for Miss Bloodysun ..." he was just beginning when he realized what he had said. He looked around and everyone except Sanji, who was in the kitchen, and Luffy stared at the bearded man in disbelief.
Nami was the first to find the word again.
"How do you know her original alias? Tell me, who are you really? I have such a suspicion."
Santa went backwards step by step. Damn, I was gossiping, he cursed in his mind, trying to figure out how to get out of it.
Finally, he tossed Robin three books in the Chronicles of the Grandline, touched his face with his left hand, and went to the sled."You're that baroque girl, Mister 2," Zorro growled at him and drew his swords. But Mister 2 was faster and was just able to escape with the carriage.
“Wasn't that just Bon Curry?” Now Luffy noticed it too. "Where did that come from all of a sudden?"
"BUT YOU DON'T NOTICE ANYTHING, RUFFY!" Nami, Usopp and Zorro said as if from one mouth. Brook just laughed, but Franky became curious. "Was that a friend of yours?" He asked the others.
"SURE NOT!" The three agreed.
"But he's really nice and funny," Luffy replied.
Robin joined us and said with a smile: "No matter whether he is a friend or not, his gifts are all real."
Neither Nami nor Usopp or Zorro could contradict this. And the last thing they heard was the farewell greeting from Mister 2, who had gotten into the Christmas spirit.
"Merry Christmas, Straw Hat Cheeeen and his friends."
Shortly afterwards the sky cleared again and the sun came out again.
