Chapter One

~X~

The Straw-hat's once more docked on a new island, this island was just as strange as the rest. It was a holiday island, every month there was a new holiday and if there wasn't a holiday that month, then they celebrated a holiday early. It was an island full of fun and lot of food, two things the captain of the Straw-hat's enjoyed.

"Nami! What month is it? What are they celebrating?" Luffy shouted as they made it to town. His eye's wide were wide as his smile and full of excitement. He jumped up and down, laughing as he stared at all the people who passed.

Nami closed her eyes in annoyance, trying to calm herself down before she answered her idiot of a captain. "It's October, for the next week the islanders will be celebrating Halloween."

Luffy's, Usopp's, and Chopper's eyes sparkled brighter then a Childs on Christmas. Luffy bounced, and laughed. "Halloween is one of my favorite holiday! Captain's orders we are getting costumes!" The rubber man shouted, bouncing on his toes.

"Yes! I Captain-Usopp will make the best costume ever! I was once known as the Halloween master-" SMACK!

"KNOCK IT OFF!" Nami shouted, smacking the two of them over the head. She glared at them and pointed a finger, the look on her face serious. "All right, listen up. Since this guy made it "Captain's orders" we have no choice to dress up. However the moment we can leave this island we are! I'm going to pick up the costumes. There is no way, I'm going to let you guys pick them out and they end up being more then what we can afford!"

"No way! You will just pick out lame things, Nami!" Luffy shouted, pointing at the orange haired girl. The next thing Luffy seen was stars as Sanji casually stood next to him and kicked him hard in head, sending him face first into the ground.

"Don't point at Nami-san like that!" Sanji shouted, glaring at his captain. His scowl quickly disappeared and he spun around, a heart in his right eye. Spinning on one foot he was standing next to the navigator's, arms open wide. "I will wear anything Nami-swan picks out for me!"

"Thank you Sanji-kun," Nami said, smiling at the ships cook. She then turned her back on the rest of the crew. "I am going to find out when the long will post, and where to get costumes. We will meet back at the sunny in two hours! Robin will you like to join me?" she smiled at the other woman, kindly.

Robin returned the smile and nodded. "Sure thing, see you guys later," the older woman said and followed after Nami, the two giggling on their way.

"Such angles!" Sanji's cooed after them. He looked away as soon as they were out of sight and he turned to the remainder of the crew, lighting a cigarette. "While Nami-San and Robin-Chan are out, that leaves us with the work we need to do. I'll need two of you to help me with the shopping."

"Super! Long-nose-bro why don't you come with me and gather some lumber? There are a few things to be fixed on the ship," Franky said, running a comb and his hands through his hair.

"Good Idea! Sorry Sanji, maybe Luffy and Chopper would like to help!" Usopp said, waving to the cook as he followed after Franky, heading down another path.

Sanji frowned as he watched them leave. He then turned to the four who were reaming, only to discover three. He raised his curly brow in question. "Where did Luffy go?"

"Ah, I believe Luffy-san ran after a man wearing a pig outfit," answered Brook. He took a glance around the town and tipped his top hat. "I'm sorry, Sanji-san, but I can not help you this time," he said and casually walked away, his cane in hand. Sanji once more watched as another crew member walked away. He wasn't surprised when he heard Brook ask a very lovely looking witch to see their panties.

"Well I guess that leaves me with, Chopper and…, Zoro," Sanji said turning to the said two. Zoro was already walking off to a booze stand, but Sanji's caught him by the back of his shirt, and pulled him over. "Well Chopper, do you think you can grab us one of those large carts?" he said, not even noticing the complaining swordsman.

"Oi Cook, who put you in charge?" Zoro asked, pushing Sanji's hand off his shoulder.

Sanji slapped Zoro's hand back just as he did to him, once more grabbing Zoro's shoulder. "We don't know how long we are going to be here, and I have to shop for nine people. You are going to help," Sanji said, and as Chopper scurried off his hand lowered to the swordsman's right hip, giving it a gentle squeeze. "So behave."

Zoro blushed a deep shade of red and looked away, scratching his right cheek. It seemed to have worked as he stayed quite even after Chopper got back.

The Island of Holiday's was very large island, with a crowded town. The streets were full of people and decorated with wonderful holiday themes. Nami had a feeling at night, the whole town would look like a haunted house, or town in this case.

The people were all dressed in some sort of costume. The costumes went from scary to beautiful, from cute to weird. Nami had to second glance if any of them were real or not. It was all so bizarre, but it was something to be used to when you traveled the Grandline.

"Navigator-San I believe I see a costume shop straight a head, shall we take a look?" Robin asked, pointing to a small shop straight a head.

The shop was decorated in Halloween decorations like the rest of the town and through the window some of the lights were glowing purple and green. The large sign above it read: The Witches Cave.

Nami turned her head from the map she was looking at and frowned. "It's not on the town's map. It must be new!" she said, leading the way to the little shop. Her smile growing when she seen the large sign in the window. 'Costume's for sail.'

"Perfect! I am sure we can find some cheap… I mean wonderful costume's here!" Nami said, and entering the store.

The little bell of the doorway rang, and an elderly lady made herself present. She smiled at the two pirates that came in. "Hello, Deeries, have you come for costumes for yourselves, or perhaps some decorations?" she asked sweetly.

Robin nodded. "Yes, we need nine costumes all together, seven for men and two the two of us."

The woman nodded with a pleasant smile and led the two into the back. "I'm sorry to say but I only have six men costumes available."

"Uh!" Nami cut in, an evil smile on her face. "Does it help any at all that one of them said men don't care what he wears?"

The old woman smiled and nodded. "If that's the case then, I have just the thing for you. One costume that I am sure will do wonders. I must warn you though, it is none returnable."

Nami frowned waving a hand. "No worries, I doubt it will be in good condition when the week is over anyway."

The woman nodded, leading them in to the back. "Oh that's fine my dear, I doubt he will be able to ruin this one," she said stopping at the last shelf of the room, and she looked around. "You, my dear, can you reach that velvet black box up there?" the woman asked Robin.

Robin frowned; she wasn't sure if it was a good idea to trust this elder woman, but she nodded and did what she was asked. "Here you are."

"Thank you. This Costume has only been worn once long ago by my father. It is very old, but I assure you, it will work wonders, please take it, it will be free. Then you ladies can help yourself to the rest of the costumes I have," she said, handing the box to Nami.

The navigator's eyes light up in dollar signs and she took the costume in her hand. The words "it's free," was all she needed to hear to take it. "Thank you! We'll take it, and whatever costume you have!"

Robin frowned however having a bad feeling about the whole thing. However, seeing as Nami had accepted the costume there was no way changing her mind. Shrugging her shoulders she followed Nami through the store. It seems we have another adventure in store for us. She thought to herself smiling the whole time.
