The scene begins in a blank white room. In the centre of the room, we see a teenager - female, about fourteen, tall and gangly, an average face and feminine apparel. She wears a white V-neck shirt with a black, zip up turtleneck vest, knee length olive cargo shorts, and mid-calf black leather boots. She has short brown hair, a bird-claw necklace, and a tiny baby blue ringlet earring on her right ear. Her left eye is blue while the right is green. Arid looks a bit iffy about something.

"Believe me when I say that plot bunnies are -"

Her eyes widen suddenly, and she lifts an arm to discover a plot bunny hanging on with its teeth. An eye twitches erratically.

*A few seconds later*

A cat screeches at random as something was thrown through a random door. We see Arid return, now mildly calmer with the absence of the plot bunny.

"Stinking son of a" - she notices the readers - "oh. Sorry 'bout that. I believe I now understand the insanity that is the plot bunny, and I'm pretty sure many of you will agree with me on that notion. Anyways, before I became a writer on Fanfiction, I was more then surprised to find that there were no crossovers between Danny Phantom and One Piece."

*She sighs exasperatedly, but then perks up.*

"Some time prior, however, I noticed that another author was kind enough to post a challenge concerning these two shows. Although it was taken down about a month later, since I suspect no one was up for that challenge, but that one challenge alone left a seed in my mind, which slowly became the plot bunny you heard me dispose of earlier. Don't worry, it'll be back, and it sure as heck will keep whipping me to finish writing."

A whistle is heard, and Arid turns to see the plot bunny with a whip in its paw. She sighs in defeat before materializing double scimitars in her hands. She suddenly remembers something very important, and glances at the readers out of the corner of her eye.

"Even if I get one review, I'm happy. Rights for Danny Phantom belong to Butch Hartman, and rights for One Piece belong to Eiichira Oda. Also, this begins immediately after the Water 7 arc, and WAY before Phantom Planet."

Arid turns just in time to block the whip's sudden lash.

"Enjoy!"

It was one of those days that you could say were 'ordinary' for the denizens of the Straw Hat Pirates. Their recent adventure's end not only gave a new crewmate, but a successor to their last ship, Going Merry. These two were known as Franky, the now resident shipwright, and the Thousand Sunny, a beautiful ship Franky had made with his own hands (with some help from his former colleagues). Alas, I can't get into too much detail, but I can say that this adventure starts about a couple of days before the Straw Hats encountered a mysterious fog...

The day was like any other; Usopp was by the main mast and telling one of his many tall tales, with Chopper listening in rapt fascination, while Franky tended to the inner workings of Sunny, to make sure she was in top condition. Nami and Robin each were laying on a lawn chair, reading a newspaper and an inanely large tome respectively, while Zoro and Sanji were in the middle of another argument, mostly started by Zoro for obvious reasons. And Luffy? He was seated on the lion figurehead, watching the sea stretch out before him. But at the present time, something seemed...off.

It couldn't be Sunny, no; she's nearly a day old. Was his nakama okay? He stretched his neck a tad and glanced around briefly - Franky was most likely somewhere below deck, but otherwise everyone seemed fine. His neck snapped back as he turned his eyes toward the skies. Maybe the clouds are hiding something, the boy thought inwardly, but if it was weather, Nami would know. He couldn't hear any sudden calls. Fluffy white wisps of clouds rolled by carelessly, as every now and then a small blue dot, obviously darker then the bright blue of the sky, would be briefly hidden before reappearing again.

It stayed in one place.

Luffy blinked a few times, taking a full ten seconds to realize that something was happening. He casually stood up and leapt back down to the grassy deck. Usopp and Chopper paused their fun, watching their captain/friend head towards the only girls of the crew. Robin looked up from her book upon hearing Luffy's footfalls.

"Is there anything you need, Luffy-san?"

He seemed to consider his next words. "Do you know anything about mystery-dots appearing randomly in the sky?"

She raised a brow at his question. Zoro and Sanji stopped their brawl, Nami tore her eyes away from the newspaper, and Usopp and Chopper decided to come closer.

"I was watching the clouds" - Luffy pointed to where he had looked - "when I saw it. It stayed in the same spot the whole time."

Nami sighed and put down the newspaper, getting off her chair.

Franky had just finished some maintenance when he heard the sound of a fist hitting something.

"Oowww~! Nami, why'd you do that?"

He sighed, that boy was LOUD. But never less the older man thought it was a good idea to come up.

Luffy rubbed the impact spot on his sore face from Nami's punch. She had just opened her mouth to retort when something caught her eye. Franky had just come out to see everyone else watching the sky, and in turn, found something dark blue against the usual light pallor; faint screaming coming from it. Luffy, being his curious self, took the opportunity to get closer, despite the warnings following him. He now stood back on the figurehead; is the mystery-dot angry, he thought. A limp shape fell out before the dot faded all together. His eyes widened. And the rest of his crew (mostly) knew from past experience that he was going to try and catch...whatever it was.

At least four people ran up to try and do something – Luffy had already stretched his arms out and realized that what he caught was a person. And just before the person touched the ocean. Certain people knew that he'd caught a person, and a certain reindeer helped Luffy carry the unknown person to the medical bay. After initially spazzing out with his usual cries of 'needing a doctor', with Usopp reminding him he WAS a doctor. The boy, the three had found out, had passed out from whatever ordeal he went through. The young teen had been laid down gently onto a bed.

He looked about fifteen, with shaggy, onyx black hair mostly covering his eyes. He wore a simple white t-shirt with red accents and the same colored oval on the chest, blue jeans and red converse. In all, he didn't look out of the ordinary, but then again, looks could be quite deceiving. Every member of the Straw Hats proved – no, DEFINED that notion through their own specialties.

Chopper, after doing a quick examination for injuries, turned to Luffy and Usopp. "It's best if we leave him here to rest for the time being."

Both boys nodded, and all three turned to head out the door, unaware their strange visitor had stirred slightly, before falling still again.

Danny Fenton opened his eyes for the first time in... he didn't know how long. But the first thought he had when he saw a wood-paneled ceiling was, this isn't the Ghost Zone. He jackknifed into a sitting position on the apparent bed he was on. He smelled chemicals and saltwater; to his right was a desk with an office chair of sorts, a few shelves above it. Both respectively held various papers and medicines. He shifted and put his feet, which thankfully still had his shoes on, on the wooden floor and felt a slight rocking.

Ah, I'm on a boat.

He frowned lightly, trying to make sense of his current situation, when the door to his left – how did he not notice that? – opened suddenly. Before him in general was what appeared to be a small, anthropomorphic deer of some kind, wearing dark magenta shorts and a pink top hat with a white sideways cross on the front. Its left side of antlers had some kind of metal casing on it, (had it broken off somehow?), a small blue nose, and dark brown eyes. Said eyes were staring in surprise at the sight of him.

What did I get into this time?

Arid is seen hiding in the branches of a random tree, in a random forest, having swapped her scimitars for kunai, throwing stars, and other miscellaneous items stored in a bottomless brown pouch hanging off her left belt loop. Mismatched eyes watched a certain bunny prowl in search of her below on the ground.

She whispers to the readers. "Yeah, this chapter may have been short, but I promise that the story will get better."

Arid watches the plot bunny stalk closer to her tree, when she carefully pulls out a special object and chucks it at the bunny before jumping to the forest floor running. The item was a water balloon filled with orange paint. The plot bunny's enraged cries could be heard throughout the random forest, as well as Arid's victorious laughter.

She stops at a cliff side and turns back to you readers. "Two things to clear up. One, Danny's home and Luffy's home are two separate dimensions, and there's a 'tongue transfer' between the both. Two:" – Arid hears the bunny getting closer, and grins mischievously – "don't you worry, I made sure to deploy cameras shaped like various plants and other wildlife; I'm gonna have me a picture of an orange bunny."

At this, she runs and jumps off the cliff, laughing at the prospect of seeing the bunny's surprised/angry look. She's free falling toward a small river, getting closer to her every second - she straightens out, and just three seconds before she hits the water's surface, a tunnel opens up, and Arid dives inside.

The cover closes behind her as Arid rides down a twisting and weaving water slide of sorts, one of the many entranceways to one of her many homes.

"See you next chapter!" her cry is heard. On the top of the cliff side, the now orange plot bunny is looking pretty upset, but then smirks, knowing it'll find Arid soon.
