First Series, Part 1 - Opening Prologue

Somewhere, out in the ocean that stretches from here to there, there was a unique ship sailing across the calm water. Its name; the Thousand Sunny. The big boat traveled smoothly across the small waves. The sky was the bluest blue it could be with nary a cloud in the sky. The weather was beautiful and warm with a brisk wind filling the sails. It pushed the ship forward gently towards the ship’s next destination. Overall, it was a perfect day to sail.


Of course, with not much to do, it was a rather do-nothing day for the crew of the Thousand Sunny. After what this crew had been through in the last few days they deserved a bit of a break. From the magical land of Equestria, the Straw Hat crew had traveled with their new friends from there to Long Ring Long Land to Water 7 to Enies Lobby and back to Water 7. All the while meeting challenge after challenge and overcome them together. They had grown together and eventually came together as one crew. Now, the Straw Hats had many new members to sail with to adventure and danger.


Firstly, “Beast Whisperer” Fluttershy…


“Here you go, Funkfreed,” the yellow pegasus mare said happily before laying down some hay.


...and her new animal friend, Funkfreed…


In response, the elephant Funkfreed trumpeted out happily. It then began to munch down on the hay by collecting it up in its trunk and shoveling it into his mouth.


…Rarity “the Enchantress”...


“Oh, Sanji-kun~,” the white unicorn mare called out melodically.


Instantly, the royal blue stallion Sanji rushed over to the mare. Already lovestruck. “Yes~, Rarity-swan~!” he replied energetically.


“Could I get another one of your drinks, please?” asked Rarity sweetly.


“Of course!”


“Thank you,” replied Rarity happily.


“Buckin’ Cowgirl” Applejack


As Sanji attempted to walk over to the stairs, Applejack suddenly launched out at him. She sent out a kick which the stallion easily blocked. The mare didn’t stop there as she swung around to attempt another kick. Again, Sanji was able to block it easily. This exchange picked up in speed and power as Applejack kept attacking the chef. Every time, the curly-brow stallion countered them. Never once striking back himself; something he would never do to a mare.


Eventually, Applejack tired herself out. She never once was able to land a hit on the stallion. While a little disappointed, she was smirking confidently.


“Whatcha think?” the light-orange Earth pony mare asked out. “Am I improvin’?”


Smiling proudly, Sanji nodded. “Your kicks are a lot smoother than before,” he commented expertly. He then added observationally, “But don’t forget to keep your guard up. I know I’m not exactly the best for training mares but never let your guard down.”


Applejack nodded acceptingly. “You got it, Coach,” she said determinedly.


Seeing her expression, Sanji was immediately lovestruck again. “I must be the luckiest coach in the world to have such a cute student like you, Apple-chwan~!” he proclaimed shamelessly.


Immediately, Applejack smiled and blushed at the compliment. She even lowered her hat a bit to hide the apparent blush.


“Sanji~” whined out Rarity, apparently jealous of the interaction.


Sanji quickly responded, “Coming right up, Rarity-chwan~!” He then sped off up the stairs and into the cabin.


“Cannoneer” Pinkie Pie…


“Alright!” shouted a determined Franky, standing next to a cannon.


By him was also Usopp, steading and configuring the cannon for firing. Even with them was the pink Earth pony mare herself with her own much smaller cannon, the party cannon. Like the sniper, she too had her cannon aimed out to sea.


The minotaur then announced, “This time, I’m sure I’ve cracked the secret to your ‘fire everything cannon,’ Party Sis.”


“Ha!” laughed Pinkie Pie. “Prepared to be greatly disappointed and then pleased after I fire my trademarked party cannon.”


“We’ll see,” Franky said confidently. He then pointed to the yellow unicorn. He said, “Fire away, Long Face Bro.”


Usopp pouted firstly. “Stop calling me that,” he said. Then, he pulled the string.


Instantly, the cannon exploded. The crew on deck stop their activities and look at the smoke where Usopp and Franky had stood. Thankfully, both males were still standing, but the cannon was beyond repair. As Pinkie Pie predicted, they both were disappointed by the outcome.


“Aww,” Usopp and Franky both moaned out.


In response, Pinkie Pie then turned her cannon towards the male. She then pulled the string on her cannon. Immediately, the cannon shot forth cupcakes. Many of them hit the two males - also missed and one caught by Luffy - but the two of them were not sore about it. They were happy to have some comfort food, and they all had a good laugh over the failure.


Rainbow “Crash” Dash…


Even up in the Crow’s Hanger, the cyan Pegasus mare with the rainbow mane and Zoro did not flinch when there came an explosion. Surprisingly, Rainbow Dash was sitting still quietly with the black stallion mediating together. Neither one was concerned about the incident, knowing full well their crewmates were handling it well enough. However, after some time of silence, the young Pegasus was starting to get antsy.


“So,” Rainbow Dash spoke sounding a little impatient. “Does this meditation thing really help you fight better?”


“It can,” Zoro answered calmly. “It all really depends.”


“Do you really think I’ll figure something out like what you did during your fight in the tower?”


“We won’t know until you try…”


Rainbow Dash stayed silent for a moment longer. She then began to smile, appearing a peace. "You know, I have to admit, this is pretty nice…”


“...”


“Zoro?”


When Rainbow Dash went to look at her partner, she found that he had fallen asleep. The Pegasus was utterly dumbstruck.


"Zoro!"


Moving on, “Green Fire” Spike…


“Wah!” From the cabin, the little, purple dragon let out a frightened scream as he ran out. In his arms, there were a few gems he had collected.


“Spike!” From the same place came an angry shout from Nami. The orange mane Pegasus floated out of the room looking furious.


“Don’t eat my riches, you greedy little dragon!”


Sitting nearby, Luffy perked up overhearing his navigator shout. “Gems are edible?” he asked out curiously.


Being near him, Robin chuckled first before answering. “Not really, Captain,” she stated knowledgeably. She also added, “Just to dragons.”


“Aw, lame,” whined Luffy disappointingly.


And finally, “Sorceress Supreme” Twilight Sparkle.


Inside one of the cabins, one next to the room Sanji had entered, there was the medical room. Within it was Chopper and the purple unicorn mare Twilight Sparkle. At the moment, the young doctor was giving an exam on Twilight’s broken horn. Since the incident many days ago, she was starting to look a little more fuller. Regardless, the transforming reindeer wanted to examine it to be sure.


“It appears to be growing back correctly,” Chopper stated orderly. The doctor then advised, “Make sure you keep filing it little by little each day until it’s back to its normal length.”


Twilight respectfully nodded. The patient then asked cautiously, “Will I be able to perform magic at this point?”


“Not without it still being a danger to yours and everyone else’s safety,” Chopper stated grimly. “If you perform magic now, you could damage your horn to the point that it’ll cease to grow.”


Twilight frowned. “Oh, I see,” the unicorn said glumly yet fully understanding.


Seven original Straw Hat pirate members more than doubled to now fifteen. Every member (except for Funkfreed) wanted by the evil and sinister Black Empire. Six wanted for a power that could unite the world, eight with the strength to fight the world, and together they may also have the ability to change this world. Making friends wherever they go. Stopping the bad guys because they can. And having fun along the way.


These are the tales of Twilight Sparkle, Monkey D. Luffy, Spike, and all their shipmates as they make new friends between the calm and the storm of their adventures.


“Let’s go!” shout Twilight and Luffy together excitedly.


As we all travel across the sea, raising our voices
We take in the beautiful blue world


Luffy and Twilight take off galloping forward cheerfully towards a cliff.


Ahead of them on the Thousand Sunny, their crewmates and friends turn towards them, grinning or smiling also. First group; Franky with Spike on his shoulder, Nami, Rarity, Sanji, and Applejack. The second group; Zoro, Rainbow Dash (in the air), Chopper and Fluttershy sitting on top of Funkfreed, Pinkie Pie, Robin, and Usopp.


Our spirits ready to go everybody rejoices
Now let's go, get the sails all unfurled


Luffy enwraps Twilight with one leg before launching his free leg forward. It stretches all the way to the Sunny. He grabs hold of the railing. Hopping up, he and Twilight shot forth to the ship. As they soar to the boat, Luffy’s hat flies off.


La la la la la la-la

My Little Pony: Nakama is Magic
The Friendship Chronicles

La la la la la, yeah~


Then, Luffy’s leg stretches up and grabs his hat floating among the title.


Here we are in between the sea and the sky
Ready now for adventure, we're itchin to try


The Thousand Sunny is sailing peacefully on the sea.


Get ready to row, so all aboard now, we're set to go


At the bow of the Sunny, the crew stands together awaiting their next adventure. In order; Luffy, Twilight, Zoro, Spike, Nami, Applejack, Usopp, Rainbow Dash, Sanji, Rarity, Chopper (on the stationary Log Pose), Fluttershy, Robin, Pinkie Pie, and Franky at the helm.


Set sail, to the ocean so deep
Ready for a truly Grand Adventure


Despite the day being bright and calm, the sea was acting rough and hazardous. Then, as if from beneath the water, a glowing orb containing a massive object within; it held a whole island. It gets swayed by the torrents before finally settling in the middle.


Well don't ya think that sounds really fun?
All this excitement's second to none


Suddenly, a winged, blue, anthropomorphic cat wearing a green knapsack appears looking cheerful. The cat flies around in a circle before stopping in the center. The feline is then joined by two more flying cats; one white furred and female and the other a male that looked like a panther. New characters are revealed:


In the right corner, a Pegasus pony with a dark blue mane in twintails and an Earth pony with a long spiky mane with metal piercings on his face.


In the left corner, a unicorn with a scarlet red mane wearing armor and a black mane unicorn wearing a small, jeweled sword pendant.


Then, appearing down the center, there came another two ponies — one a yellow female Earth pony with a ponytail in her mane, and the other a salmon-pink mane male Earth pony with a scarlet red coat. The male pony then breathes out flames.


As we all travel across the sea, raising our voices
We take in the beautiful blue world
Our spirits ready to go everybody rejoices
Now let's go, get the sails all unfurled


One by one, the Straw Hat Pirates (besides Luffy and Twilight) show off their fighting styles. Franky fires his Beans Left technique. Pinkie Pie fires her Party Cannon. Robin crosses her forelegs causing pink petals to spin around. Fluttershy holds a sword which then transforms into Funkfreed whom she immediately sits upon. Chopper goes Arm Point and strikes. Rarity winks before summoning gemstones and firing them. Sanji launches out a few kick attacks. Rainbow Dash flies around, leaving a rainbow trail behind, before punching into the ground. Usopp shoots his slingshot but then quickly runs away in fear. Applejack jumps in and performs a few kicks as well ending with a bucking kick. Nami steps in swinging her Clima-Tact before attacking with electricity. Spike hops up and spews out green fire. And finally, Zoro charges in with all three swords in a slash.


La la la la la la-la
La la la la la, yeah~


If there's something that I just won't ever forget
It's the way that I felt when our journey was set


Scene 1: The crew is traveling through a jungle led by Twilight and Nami. Behind them, Sanji and Applejack are carrying the gear, with Rarity swiping away the stallion’s attention. As this group moves, it reveals Franky and Robin with Fluttershy sitting on top of Funkfreed behind them. Zoro is somehow on top a cliff behind them with Rainbow Dash pointing out the direction, shocking the stallion. Luffy, Spike, Usopp, Pinkie Pie, and Chopper are running off wildly.


Scene 2: The crew is now in a town: most of the Straw Hat mares were window shopping except for Applejack and Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy has Funkfreed in his sword form on her hip. As Luffy, Spike, Usopp, and Chopper run by the group, Pinkie Pie notices them and quickly joins them. Meanwhile, Zoro and Sanji are arguing, two of Zoro’s sword drawn and Sanji blocking it. The stalemate breaks as the swordspony attempts to hit the chef with his second sword only to jump-flip out of the way. In Sanji moving, Franky, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash are shown to be watching the two and looking very baffled by their argument.


Now I won't be scared, as long as I keep that feeling there


All the Straw Hats are walking down a street and having conversations. Luffy leads while conversing with Twilight, Applejack, and Nami. Chopper, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash are next with the reindeer excitedly explaining something. Zoro, Usopp, Rarity, and Robin are in a conversation as well. Finally, Sanji is talking to Franky, Spike, and Pinkie Pie at the back of this group.


With that, let us keep up the pace
While enjoying every Trip from place to place


Scrolling-up showcase of enemies to the Straw Hats; Alvida ((sexy) Minotaur), Buggy the Clown with his two cohorts Cabaji and Moji (Earth ponies), Smoker (Pegasus), Tashigi (unicorn), Discord, Aokiji (Earth pony), and finally Blackbeard and all his group.


Our timid hearts get the rhythm engraved
So let's keep going, adventure awaits


Scene: A dark image of a group of monsters in front of a huge gate and building. They are twelve similar and large creatures looking like pigs. Each one was dressed in a unique way looking like a classification. Then, panning up, the building is revealed to be a tower with a sizeable fiery eye at the top. As the eye stares directly forward, an image of its master is seen. It is a gaseous being with a horrifying appearance like a ghost.


Images of allies appear: Celestia with Roger, Garp, and Whitebeard, Jack Silver and his crew, Ace, and finally Shanks and his crew.


So many treasures await, so now let's raise our voices
in pride, laughing out when they are found


In the air, Luffy smashes his stretching out hind leg down upon a Black Navy Battleship, destroying completely. Directly across from it, another ship explodes in rainbow smoke as Rainbow Dash flies through


With all the riches in hand everybody rejoices
Party on, 'cause we stand tall and proud


On another ship, Twilight teleports onboard, smirking confidently while her horn continues to glow with magic. In seeing her, the Black Navy soldiers’ courage falters. The purple unicorn then uses her magic to rain down lightning upon all the soldiers.


Life is “Adventurous” [On the helm, the dial is turned from “0” to “1”]
Be aware it's “Dangerous” [At the helm, Sanji pulls on the lever. Then, on the side of the Sunny, the doors change correspondingly]
Who's gonna be “One of us” [The door opens]
And a trip goes on because [Inside, it is revealed to be Nami’s Skypeia waver, now designed with a horse motif]
We're the pirates of the “Mass” [Now, Sunny’s figurehead opens its mouth to reveal a cannon]
To the West, To the East [Underwater, there is a small submersible that looks like a shark]
Gotta find my way, Sail away [The Coup de Burst engine charges up]
All the way to “One Piece”! [Once it finally finishes, the Thousand Sunny Coup de Bursts into the sky]


Bring all your dreams with you now, fill the void in your heart
Spread your wings, and believe that you can soar
Just let the breeze guide the way till your ready to start
Up once again, now your ready for more


At night, the Thousand Sunny soars through the sky. The crew is on the upper deck looking out forward towards the unknown. All of them looked excited and ready for whatever comes next.


So many treasures await, so now let's raise our voices
in pride, laughing out when they are found
With all the riches in hand everybody rejoices
Party on, 'cause we stand tall and proud


Now on a cliff facing the ocean, the whole crew stands together to watch the sunset over the gold-colored ocean. Together as friends and crewmates, the smile knowing well that while the sun sets today, it’ll always rise again for another adventure!

Author's Note:

Welcome back to the adventure, everyone. Hope you haven't been waiting too long?

So, what is the purpose of "The Friendship Chronicles." To put it bluntly, these are the stories that would otherwise be unimportant in the main storyline but do contribute to it in small ways. Each Part will add something that will appear in the main storyline, but one can skip over these should they not be interested in the subject matter.

Essentially, this is set up for Season 2 Coming in 2020
At least, the First Part is. More parts will probably be added going further in, but only after the previous season.
And more stories, mostly short, will come before an official Season 2 comes out.

I hope everyone will enjoy!

The intro used for this is "Jungle P" by 50/50, the 8th One Piece opening, with English lyrics by Dave Does Music (formerly MidiGuy)
