Hey everyone!

I decided to write a One Piece story.

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece, or any of it's characters.

I hope you like it.

Story begins on the first episode of One Piece.

I hope you like the pilot...

It was getting very tight in this barrel. It was so hard to move around and tell which direction was up. It wasn't long before I felt something tug at my barrel and pull me up out of the sea. My barrel was then rolled onto the deck of what must have been a ship. I heard muffled voices as I tried to get comfortable, which was practically impossible. I started to push on one end of the barrel, but it wouldn't budge. Why wouldn't it open? After trying a few more times I gave up and waited. Then my barrel was dropped on it's side and I hit my head on the side of the barrel.

"Ow." I rubbed at the spot on my head that had hit. "I hope Luffy got picked up by this ship as well." I shifted into a different position. As I did so I began to hear screams and cannon fire. What was going on out there? If only I could get out of this damn barrel! I felt the barrel begin to roll.

"No, no, no!" Unable to brace myself fast enough, I began bumping into every side of the barrel as it rolled down a set of stairs. My barrel continued rolling until it hit some kind of door and was knocked in another direction. I heard the door clack again as something else must have hit the door. It must have been Luffy's barrel. I finally hit a wall and came to a stop. Then Luffy's barrel ran into mine, making me hit my head again.

"Damn this stupid barrel!" I started kicking one end of the barrel, still trying to get out. I stopped when I heard Luffy's barrel begin to roll away.

"Please, don't roll again." I pleaded, closing my eyes and bracing myself. Luckily I didn't move, but that meant that someone was taking Luffy's barrel. I remained silent as I started to hear voices.

"You can't! Lady Alvida will kill us if she ever found out." Came the voice of a little boy.

"She won't if you keep your trap shut, right boy?" Came another voice. What were they talking about?

"Yeah, right." The boy replied, I barely heard him laugh nervously. I needed out of this barrel, but I couldn't get caught.

"Come on, Takara... Come up with a plan." I whispered to myself. The people outside in the room sounded big, and they sounded like pirates. By this point I was also sure that they were talking about the Luffy's barrel.

"Hold on boys, I'll open her the old fashion way." Came another voice. If he did that he would find Luffy. I had to get out of here. I started to kick the end of the barrel again, but no matter what I did it wouldn't budge.

"YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! IIII SLEEEPPTT SOOOOOO GREAT!" I heard Luffy yell as my kicking stopped. Then I heard the sound of something hitting the floor. Hard. He had fallen asleep! I quickly opted for ignored him for now as I continued to kick the end of the barrel. After a minute of failure I gave up again.

"LUFFY!" I yelled, hoping he would hear me. Within seconds my barrel was placed right side up and Luffy had pulled off the top.

"You couldn't get that open yourself?" He asked.

"Shut up." I pouted as he helped me stand up and step out of the barrel. I was wearing a pale purple shirt with an aqua ribbon attached. I also had blue jean shorts on. My red hair hung down to my shoulders.

"I'm hungry." Luffy told me before spinning around and walking towards a pair of doors. A boy grabbed his arm and pulled against him. The boy had pink hair and wore a blue and white shirt. He slowly failed at stopping Luffy. Luffy entered the room followed by me and the boy, the boy getting his head stuck in the door.

"AHAHAHA! It's a gold mine! Food, food, food, food, food!" Luffy laughed.

"Who knows, maybe we'll be safe in here as long as no one else gets hungry." The boy said. Luffy continued to drool over the food.

"This box looks promising. Apples. Excellent! Ha, tasty." Luffy continued. I walked over and took an apple from the crate Luffy had opened. I took a seat on the ground and started to eat it.

"Uh, hey! My name's Coby. Your Luffy, is that right? That was pretty neat when you jumped out of that barrel back there." The boy said.

"These are awesome." Luffy announced as he stuffed his face full of apples from the crate. I quickly grabbed a second one before he decided to eat them all.

"Nice to meet ya, Coby. I'm Takara." I greeted the boy as he took as seat behind Luffy. He looked over at me.

"So are we on a pirate ship or what?" We both snapped our heads towards Luffy.

"No, it's a passenger ship that's being raided by pirates. Pirates under the command of Lady Alvida." Coby answered. I sat back and began munching on my apple.

"Oh, who cares anyway. What I want to know is if there are any boats on board." Luffy said, still stuffing his face.

"I think there are a few." Coby told us, but he didn't seem sure.

"Great, cause mine got sucked into a whirlpool." Luffy announced.

"Oh, yeah. That is totally your fault by the way." I commented.

"The one outside? No way! No one could have survived that." Coby declared.

"Yeah, I gotta say it was a big surprise." Luffy turned and looked at Coby, a huge grin planted on his face as he laughed. I groaned and walked out of the room. If there were boats on deck I was going to get one ready for our departure.

I headed out of the kitchen and down a hallway towards what looked like the deck. I quietly crept up a flight of stairs and looked out onto the deck. A really fat lady stood in the center of the deck as her men wandered by carrying supplies from the ship. I quickly snuck away and to the side of the top deck. That's where I located some ropes. I walked over and quietly reached up and grabbed one before using it to get to the connected pirate ship. I looked up from time to time to make sure I wasn't being watched. Once I had gotten to the pirate ship there was a giant crash and I looked over to see a giant hole in the passenger ship's deck over what must have been the storage room I was in earlier. That and the fat lady who had been on deck was now gone.

"Luffy, what did you do?" I said out loud. Luffy a few seconds later jumped out of the hole with Coby in hand, he looked up and around before laughing a bit. It wasn't long before the pirates who had been around the hole had started to attack him. Pirates appeared from all over the ship, just to attack Luffy. He looked like he could handle himself so I snuck away to examine the pirate ship.

"We could just take this ship… If we're fast enough." I mumbled. I glanced over at the other ship to find Luffy still fighting. At least this ship would be big enough for a crew.

"I'm a rubber man." Luffy said as he pulled out his cheek, to prove his rubberiness. Coby looked at him, completely shocked. Then the fat lady showed up, I couldn't quite hear what they were saying. Suddenly a group of men went out onto the main deck and I quickly moved out of sight. Everyone was paying attention to the fat lady and Luffy. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a girl on the pirate ship carrying a giant bag on the deck below me. I carefully jumped down onto the deck she was on and ran after her. I rounded the corner and looked around, but she was just gone. I glanced around a couple more times before I heard a splash off the side of the ship. I ran over to the rail. Down in the water below was a ship with the girl in it. Out of nowhere three cannonballs were fired, landing in the water around our ships. The boat shook and I found myself falling down onto her boat.

"Hey!" The girl whisper shouted as water splashed up around her boat. I groaned as I pushed myself up, having landed on one of her bags. "Who are you?" The girl questioned angrily.

"I was about to ask you the same question." I whispered as I sat up.

A few more cannons were fired as we glared at each other. There was a loud crack and we both looked up to see another boat coming straight down towards us. It landed and caused our boat to nearly tip. We both screamed and looked over at the people in the other boat. Luffy and Coby held onto the edges of the other boat. Luffy looked at both of us with a giant smile on his face.

Another cannon was shot and the ball landed in between our two boats. The action caused us to go our separate ways by the time the water had settled. I quietly helped the girl as we set out to sea. Once we were gone, and all other ships out of sight, we settled. Or at least I settled down at the front of the ship as Nami moved around her bags.

"You knew that guy didn't you?" The girl asked as she took a seat on the opposite side of the boat. She had her arms crossed and she was glaring at me. She had orange hair and wore a blue shirt, with black pants, and a red belt.

"Maybe." I said, shrugging.

"If I'm lucky we'll find him and we can go our separate ways." The girl declared.

"Looks like you're stuck with me until then." I replied.

"In that case, my name's Nami." She told me.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Takara." I said as I nodded to her. It was silent for a moment before Nami piped up again.

"Why did you even jump on my boat?" Nami questioned.

"I didn't, I fell." I answered before laying back so I could look at the clouds.

"From the pirate ship or the passenger ship?" Nami continued.

"Pirate, but I wasn't with them." I assured as she looked over.

"Well you don't look like one of the passengers, so who are you?" Nami told me.

"I'm a pirate." I stated.

"Got any money on you?" Nami asked

"Nope." I said, shaking my head.

"Bummer." Nami said, a smile forming on her lips.

"I take it you like money?" I questioned, motioning towards her bags as I looked over at her.

"Maybe." Nami shrugged. I noticed that she seemed to be mimicking what I had said earlier.

"So, it's gonna be like that?" I smirked.

"At least for now." Nami smiled, hiding a laugh.

"Sounds good to me." I stated as I looked back up.

"How do you protect yourself?" Nami asked, catching me off guard.

"What?" I replied.

"You're a pirate. So what do you use to fight?" Nami corrected.

"Oh… Well, I have devil fruit powers, just like my captain. I ate the Bone-Bone fruit." I answered, sitting back up and moving to lean against the front of the ship.

"What's the bone-bone fruit make you do?" She asked.

"I can change how heavy my bones are, and change the shape of any bone in my lower arms, hands, feet, and teeth." I explained.

"Prove it." She commanded. I simply smiled a big toothy grin at her before changing my teeth into points, like shark teeth.

"That good enough?" I asked after changing my teeth back.

"Yup, now I need to change course. Hold on." She then turned the sail around and I almost fell out of the boat.

It was going to be hard dealing with her until we found Luffy.

Tell me how I did.
