Straw Hat Redux
Chapter 1: A New Morning
In the quiet mornings of a town ruled by Fishmen, the sun peeked through the horizon of the flat waters. The quiet morning slowly began to gently wake early birds and make its way to the next new beautiful day. The sun was particularly keen on getting someone to wake up.
Particularly, one girl had woken up to the musical chirps and tweets of small, 'iddle birds, "Shut the hell up you dumbasses!"
Thud.
And she fell out of her bed.
"Ow!"
It took her a few moments to adjust to her familiar surrounding.
". . ."
". . ."
She put her hands together to pray for a moment, "Holy shit, praise God we made it back in one piece." She was crying real hard on the inside.
Nami, the cat burglar, aged 14, current affiliation: Arlong Pirates.
"So, I'm in my old navigator's room. The year is . . ." Nami quickly looked around for the calender in her room and checked the year and the month, " . . . So, it's two years before Luffy even meets me."
Nami shuffled back to her bed and fell into a daze thinking the same thoughts that everybody else, who are normal and perfectly sane, in her crew were thinking. They should all be back here in time with her right now.
Shit, she needs to go check if they are here right now with her.
There wasn't a single time of the day to think about what had happened just now. She needs to set sail and find Luffy first. No time to brood over reality!
Nami quickly checked for her belongings here, she took out a few maps, a few quills, jars of ink, and her backpack. She opened the door from her room and quickly made her way outside of the building without being noticed.
"I can't almost believe they don't have a strict patrol schedule here."
Slipping by had been too easy. After being out of sight, she dashed for her boat and set sail to Luffy's home.
Nami spoke under her breath to herself while steering her boat, "Here I come Luffy, your dumb ass better be here with me at when I get there."
Luffy was awake before anyone else had within the homely, wooden, and severally broken-and-repaired house, where he had his place with the mountain thieves. The sun wasn't up yet and it was a little windy. He walked out and about outside and traversed into the depths of the forest here. When he was in there for sometime, he had only one defining and very normal thought;
"HOLY SHIT! I'm back in time! What?!"
Yes, Luffy, our future Pirate King, and captain of the Straw Hat pirates made an amazing discovery. There he is, everyone. Applaud for our future King. Applaud.
His yell scared about forty flocks of native specie birds, a shrewdness of large apes, a sleuth of fifteen bears, a band of scary five gorillas, a colony of rabbits everywhere, a crash of ten large rhinos, a streak of four tigers, a bask of twenty-five bulky crocodiles, an army of one-hundred frogs, a bale of 7 great turtles, and a bed of some oysters.
They all had woken up for a brief moment to check their surroundings, and if mammals could sweat, they definitely would because, What the hell on earth was that?! Oysters had only wished they could have been born with legs.
But seeing as there weren't anyone within meters of other hazardous animals, they went back to sleep carefully.
Zoro had woken up in the middle of . . . let's just say for simplicity's sake, Somewhere.
He couldn't even really remember for his life where he was at in this time. All he knew was that he wasn't in the dojo anymore and he needed to get to the place where he met Luffy.
"The name of that town was . . . It was," His fingers pressured his forehead to come think up of the name, "The name was, ergh . . . Fuck it." Let's just see if he can even get there anymore. Now which way had he gone the last time?
What even, man. What even.
As the day traveled further to its next destination and the heat grew intensely throughout the day; one lonely figure dressed in simple clothing and holding three swords at his side made way to his, uhm, destination.
WAIT, DON'T GO THAT WAY! Oh god, how is this going to work out?
In the dim and salty mornings of the sea, Sanji had taken his boat to visit Luffy.
He sat back and relaxed as he let the breeze carry on and the waves of the waters carry him on. The day ahead of him would be somewhat relaxing and . . .
"Strike that, it's never going to be relaxing."
He mused to himself with little thoughts as he carried by, "The first thing I should do when I see Luffy," he stroke his chin, "hmm . . ."
As time passed, his hunger grew. The seagulls out in the air were taken and eaten for his breakfast. His lunch consisted of a very small sea king that tried to eat Sanji for his lunch. And his dinner would be eaten at Foosha Village.
On another place, in the same morning, our cute Coby had set sail on a rowboat out to the seas on a dinky rowboat. "I need to get to Shells Town," he spoke to himself, "and I need to become a marine," he rowed quickly to the next part of the big island, "and I need to become stronger, quicker, and I'm too short right now, I run out of breath too easily, I can't do anything until I get stronger."
He rowed in succession without stopping and checking his compass every so often to check his direction. Steadily, he would build up his stamina and his muscles. His whole future was ahead of him.
His parents wished him well for his journey the night before he set sail for his big adventure. His time to become a marine wasn't going to be easy, but he only hoped it would be somewhat easier than what he thought it was going to be.
Chapter 1 done. Next update will be on a Sunday. This fanfiction will never be a Grade A, or even an S, or an SS, or a B, or a . . . Well, it'll probably be a D at the least and maybe, just maybe a grade C. Maybe. I'm planning on finishing this fic.
