Chapter 1: New Crew Member?
"Oy, Zoro, Zoro!"Luffy kept shaking the Sleeping Swordsman."Wake up, Zoro!"Luffy tapped his shoulder."Ughrr...Uhr."Is all Zoro said before opening one Sun blinded him for a moment."Haha, you're finally awake!"Luffy smiled brightly. Zoro turned to face him with an annoyed glare."Why wake me up?"Zoro said still yawning."There's an island close ahead and Nami said it's a Tropical Island!She told me to wake you up."Luffy's voice couldn't contain the excitement . Zoro just stared at him and stood up."A tropical island, huh?"He stared at the Ocean, it was a clear blue sky and the wind was blowing calmly."Yup, I'm hungry..SANJI GIVE ME BREAKFAST!"He ran towards Sanji's direction."...Why..do I feel something is not right?..Zoro asked himself."You'll have to wait Luffy, Nami-san and Robin-chan are first!"Sanji grabbed a knife gracefully and sliced a potato in a blink of an eye."But Sanji, I'm hungry!"Luffy pouted as the Cook ignored his whines . Chopper was in his small room testing his medicine and examining its reaction. Robin was sitting in a corner reading a book peacefully. Usopp was building a new device that will help Nami out in time of need, And Nami was on guard, though her navigating skills were sharp and always right."Alright Guys, there it is!"She pointed West and there was the island, still far, but still able to see. Luffy raced to the edge of the ship and smiled widely."Alright! Full speed ahead!"The bouncing Captain yelled . Zoro Stared at the island, the thought still hasn't left his mind, Clearly something was wrong and he was itching to know what . The Crew ate though it looked as if Luffy was sucking everthing down as if he were a vacuum cleaner. "Gis evv erry gud Andi!"(This is very good, Sanji)Luffy said as gobbling down a Chicken Leg . Instead of being disgusted by Luffy's actions, they all simply laughed."Ay 'Ero'(Pervert)Cook, give me more Sake!"Zoro yelled as he gulped down the last of it."Get it yourself, Bakka!"(Idiot)Sanji yelled back."Stop fighting, you two!"Nami scowled at them." Anything for you, Nami-Swwaann! "Sanji danced over to her. Zoro rolled his eyes."We're almost there!"Nami hollers down to them."YEAAH, ADVENTURE!"Luffy ran around completely out of control."This.. Island.."Zoro looks at it. They soon anchored at the mysterious island."Chopper and I will stay."Robin tells them as she stands up from her seat."Huh!? wha- What!?Chopper says in a shakey voice."You don't want to guard the ship with me?"Robin asked."No, of course!"Chopper replied worriedly."LET'S FIND TREASURE!"Luffy yelled joyfully. He jumped straight off the ship and landed on the soft white sand."Hey, Luffy,Don't just barge into the Forest!"Usopp yelled down at him, though ignored. Luffy stretched one arm to a branch and flew at it."This place is awesome!"He jumps from one tree to another."Heh..he's just like a monkey.."Sanji smiles while lighting a cigarette. "Okay, Sanji and Zoro will go find food."Nami started giving orders."Why do I have to do that!?"Zoro asked letting out a growl."Because I said so."Nami replied with her hands on her hips. Zoro was about to say a rude word to her when Sanji interrupted him."Careful what you say 'Marimo'."Zoro glared at him as if he was trying to devour him with his eyes. Nami felt chills run down her back. Zoro turned around a walked while tapping one of his katanas on his left shoulder."Robin and Chopper are guarding the ship, Luffy is lost, and Sanji and Zoro are looking for food, you and I will look around Usopp."Nami says to Usopp. Usopp nods and looks around,"This place looks kind of relaxing, doesn't it?"Usopp asked Nami."Yeah, we should camp out here for tonight."Nami replied."We should look for Luffy."Usopp suggested. Usopp was the who usually worried for Luffy since he is too reckless."Alright, let's find that idiot."Nami and Usopp walk towards the forest. "Hahaha!"Luffy grabbed some vines and jumped,swinging high from the trees."THIS IS GREAT!"Luffy exclaimed happily. Suddeny the vines wrapped around his body leaving him hanging upside down."Wh-whoa! What's going on!?"Luffy wrestled with the vines, pulling, bitting, and squirming."Fighting is futile."A mysterious female voice says to Luffy."Huh!?"Luffy asks while looking around to find the person."What a surprise, a being here in my forest?"The voice was calm and sounded quite charming."Where are you!?"Luffy yells while trying to find her."Hmm..Is it not I, who should be asking questions?"Soon Luffy saw a figure walking towards him. Knowing Luffy couldn't move a muscle he challenged the person to fight. He could see the figure clearly now. She had long pink hair, Forest green eyes and a tight white long dress that showed her cleavage. She looked probably of Nami's age, she was very was a golden bracelet that wraped around her arm."Are you going to kill me, Lady?"Luffy asked as she was a few feet from him."Hmm..You have to tell me your intentions first, why are you in this forest..and.."She closed her eyes for a brief second."Who are you with?"She asked with a friendly smile."Oh, I'm a pirate and Me and my Nakama are looking for food and treasure!"Luffy responds not knowing he said far too much."Ohh, is that so?"She snaps her fingers and the vines release Luffy making him land on his head."Uff!"Luffy stutters out then fell on his back."Well..I'm afraid you'll have to leave, now."She says in a cool tone almost inviting him to stay."Why should we?"Luffy asked while fixing his straw hat back on his head."I don't mean to be inpolite, but you are pirates, correct?"She asked Looking at him with a smile."Yup!We are fearsome pirates!"Luffy added with a smiles warmly at him."Pirates are not welcomed here."She lifted a finger towards him and bent it up, vines wrapped around his stomach."Let this be a warning, Pirate."She says coldly. She moves her arm to her left. Making the vines throw him far, making him land in the beach. His head landed in first."Urffhm!"He finally pulled himself out."Pahh!Pahh!"He spits the sand out of his mouth."Uckk!"He wipes some off his tongue."Hmph! That lady threw me! She'll pay!"Luffy says to himself, as he shakes what's left of sand out of his hat.
"Dammit..what a bother.."Zoro says while climbing a tree."At least this one looks good. "He looks up, there was a big peach about the length of his swords. He Reaches out to grab it while balancing himself with his right arm."Oh..a swordsman."The voice nearly made Zoro fall. He looks around to find the person to whom the voice belonged to."Who are you, Show yourself!"Zoro grabs the peach and jumps off."I apologize for startling you."The same girl that was with Luffy emerged for the shadows. Zoro studied her and grabbed one of his katanas cautionsly."You seem smarter than the Guy with the straw hat."She said with the same warm smile."Luffy!?Where is he!?"He dropped the peach and got defensive."Please no, I mean no harm, only if you are looking for it."She said with a laugh."The guy told me you were pirates looking for food..and treasure, am I correct?She asked.-Why must that idiot tell strangers everything!?-Zoro said in his head."Yeah, why?What is it to you?"Zoro said in his same cold attitude. "I will repeat what I said to your fellow Nakama.."She puts a hand on her cheek."Pirates..are not welcomed here, leave this island or it will be by force."She lifts her other arm and points to him and lifts her finger up, Making vines emerge from the ground and wrap around his stomach like Luffy. Zoro smirked and Cut the vines with one of his katanas."We don't play by the rules as you already know, we are pirates and we take what ever we like."Zoro glared at smiled,"I hate being impolite, but I don't play by the rules either."She formed her arms into a cross and touched the ground. Thicker vines wrapped his legs and his arms making him land on the floor roughly. "Shit, I should have seen that coming!"He began to pull when she walked towards him."I see, your a devils fruit user."He said under his breath, though she heard."Not quite, It may seem like it, but No, they are supernatural powers that I was born with."She bent down a foot away from him."Please, just leave, I don't want dirty blood on the dirt."She says with her warm smile."There's something worth a lot in this island isn't there?"Zoro asked still fighting the vines."Heh, you are quite smart.."She reached over to him and put a hand on his cheek bone, making Zoro wince."Now that you know, leave."She stood up, and snapped her fingers releasing him. Zoro stood up."What is this, valuable object?"Zoro asked curious. She looked at him with a slight smile,"Me."Zoro stared at her, seeing if she was joking."What?"Zoro stared at her confusingly. "Well, since you asked nicely, I will tell you, I have two powers.."she said lifting two fingers."One is I can control any kind of plant and make any kind of flower, and the last is..the power to heal."She said walking towards him. Zoro stepped back cautionsly."Trust me.."she extended her hand towards him. Zoro looked at her hand then towards her, but he grabbed it. She smiled and lifted her other hand and squezzed it. Suddenly vines with sharp thorns wrapped around his arm tightly drawing blood."erkff!"He shot back and grabbing his arm that was bleeding severely. "Why-!"Zoro stopped mid sentence as She grabed his arm and ran he fingers gently where the injury began and ended. Zoro stared amazed as the wound started to fade. He looked at her his face full of confusion and amazement. She giggled,"Yes, I am a freak, but now you know."Zoro moved his arm still not believing what he saw."You know if you're the Treasure, then we're not interested, we want gold and gems, not a woman."Zoro says still staring at his arm. Zoro faced her and her face was red, she was furious, which kind off made Zoro worried since she always smiled." SO I LOOK NOT WORTHY OF BEING TREASURE!?"She closed her mouth, she didn't like saying rude words."Urr, Well I-"Zoro tried to find words, but just looked around."You horrid Disrespectful beast!"She motioned one hand towards him. Zoro knew she was going to probably tie him down so he ran up to her and grabbed her."Unhand me, you disgusting-Ahh!"He flipped her onto his back."Look,"Princess", We'll leave. In the meantime, I'll keep an eye on you."Zoro walked to find the others."LET GO OF ME!"She punched and struggled."Stop moving before.."Zoro thought for a moment, he can't hit her."Before I Touch you..uh, Inappropriately."She gasped."You nasty perverted swordsman!"She bit his shoulder."Gahh, Dammit,He flipped her off making her land roughly on the ground."Ah!That was painful!"She winced."So was that bite!"He said angrily.-How can I keep her mouth shut!?-He looked towards his bandana. He smirked at his 'genius' idea. He grabbed her before she ran off."Un hand me, you dirty B-!"Before she could finish he wrapped his bandana over her mouth."Finally that will do."He flipped her over his back and continued walking as she tried to yell."Zoro? Finally We were looking for you and Lu-"Nami stopped when She saw the girl flipped on his back."What?"Zoro asked looking at Nami, Usopp, and Sanji."WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THAT POOR MAIDEN!?"Sanji asked furioulsy as he started to run at him. Zoro rolled his eyes."Thank god, here you tolerate her."He tossed her at Sanji, who carefully catches removes the Bandana and throws it at Zoro."I apologize for this idiot,are you alright?"He places her down."You people must be the pirates."She states while fixing herself and glaring at Zoro as she wipes the dirt off."Princess, here, protects the island and wants us to leave."Zoro says while folding his arms. Nami walks up to her."We didn't mean to bother you, we just need food."Nami apologizes. The girl looks at Nami and at all their faces."You travel around the world..yes?"She asked Nami."Yes, we are 'travelers'."The girl shows her warm smile."May I join your crew?"She asked while their jaws opened wide."What!? You don't like pirates, and you attacked me!"Zoro yelled at her. Nami looked at her suspiciously, "That decision isn't for us to make."Nami answers while looking at her confusingly. "HEY GUYS!"They look up to see Luffy on a branch waving at them with a large smile on his face."Oh, it's you, again."The girl says to Luffy who stares at her. Luffy jumps down."You threw me!"Luffy yells with a childish voice."I apologize for that, are you the Captain?"She asked him with a smile."Uh huh, I'm the Captain!"He replies with a smile pointing to himself."May I join your crew?"Luffy's eyes widen."Huh?!"He asked confused."You said you travel the world, that has been my dream since I was a child, but my Mother told me it is dangerous and told me to stay hidden where no one will try to use me for my powers."She says with a frown."Powers?"Nami asked."Don't ask that."Zoro warned. "Yes, I was born with two powers, but The main one is to heal."She answered smiling."Oo, Healing!? We need someone like that on the crew!"Luffy bounced."LUFFY!"They all yelled.(Except Sanji)You can't just let strangers join the crew, let alone you let Robin join."Nami says facing Luffy. Luffy Pouts."I pick who can join and who can't! I want her to be in the crew!"Luffy says while folding his arms."I am the Captain!"He smile joyfully. They didn't argue back, they trusted their Captain's decisions(Not all)even if they tried he wouldn't listen. The girl lets out a laugh."Thank you, I promise every one of you, that I will win your trust, thank you..Captain."She bows."What's your name?"Luffy asked happily. "Rose, Rose Thork."She replied."Hey Rose, you know this place well, Can you give us food?"Luffy asked his new Nakama. "There are no animals only fruit, I will guide you to my garden. They began to wonder through, after a short while they walk through a huge gate with roses on the edge."This place is beautiful."Nami says surprised. There were different kinds of flowers and fruits everywhere."Take whatever you like."Rose says whhile smiling. Zoro, Luffy,and Sanji went to get as much fruit as possible while Nami and Usopp were looking at the flowers."Wow, there are some that I have never seen before."Nami picked one that was blue with dots."Those flowers can last up to a week without water nor sunlight."Rose told Nami."Do you mind if I take some?"Nami asked. Rose smiled,"Of course not, please take what you like."It's amazing, there are various different kinds, and they smell amazing."Usopp says while picking a purple Orchard."Yes,my mother loved that kind."Rose told Usopp. They took less than half an hour when they finally finished."Alright, let's put these sacks on the ship."Sanji says carrying them over his back. They head towards the ship, It was sunset, it would be getting dark soon."Hey Sanji...I'm hungry.."Luffy says while laying on the sand."Shut up."Sanji says annoyed."We're almost there, Luffy."Usopp tries to calm Luffy down."So Rose, you've been here all alone?"Nami asks Rose."Well..yes and no."Rose replies."It may look like it, but I never thought of being lonely, though my Mother died..I still didn't feel empty, just bored."Rose added looking at the sky which was orangè red."Do you miss her?"Rose stopped and looked at her. Nami apologizd for asking about something personal,but what Rose said left her mouth opened."Do you miss your mother?"Rose asked with a slight stared. Rose frowned."Sorry,let's continue."She apologized and walked everyone soon followed. Nami still stared shocked. How did she know her Mother died?Well,killed actually. Nami was starting to feel even more suspicious. They soon got to the ship and placed everthing on."Well, this is strange."Robin stood up from the chair facing Rose."I'm Nico Robin, Nice to meet you."They shook hands."My name is Rose Thork, glad to meet you as well." Robin studied her face, and walked to talk to the others. Chopper walked out from his lab to welcome everyone back when he saw Rose and gasped. Rose smiled widely."This is the first time I see an animal..it is cute!"She grabs Chopper who panics. She pets him and hugs him, Chopper soon starts to enjoy it and stops struggling."What's his name?"She asked facing Luffy."His name is Buster!"Nami punches him in the head."This may seem odd, but he ate a devils fruit so he can talk."Nami explained to Rose. Rose scratched him behind the ear."You can talk?"She asked facing Chopper."Chopper blushed and nodded."What's your name?"Rose asked with her warm smile."Ch-Chopper."He answered."Rose smiled."My name is Rose, I hope we get along."She pet him. Chopper smiled shyly, Rose walked away."Hey Luffy, who is she?"Chopper asked."Oh, she's our new Nakama and crew member!"Luffy answered with a smile then shoved a piece of meat in his mouth.
