Hi, this is my first fanfic.

Eiichiro Oda owns One Piece.

This takes place after the Post-War arc when the crew joins. Enjoy!

On the Sunny, everything was normal besides the fact that Luffy lost his adoptive brother Ace. Luffy was depressed, but retained his usual characteristics such as, "SANJI, FOOD."

"I can't cook, we're out of food," said Sanji.

"There's an island coming up soon on the map, it says it's called Rock-bottom Island," said Nami.

"Thank god, we're running out of supplies," said Ussop.

"FOOD," cried Luffy as he looked to the horizon. "HEY! I SEE THE ISLAND!"

"Okay, since we're almost there we're going to find a place we can eat, then we stock up on supplies and we leave, nothing else. Is that clear?" said Nami.

"YES, NAMI-SWAN!" yelled Sanji with his heart filled eyes.

"Sounds good to me," said Franky.

On the beaches of Rock-bottom Island, the crew leaves to find a restaurant. As the crew walked into the city, Robin spots a newspaper stand and wanted to buy a newspaper. She then caught up to the rest of the crew in front of this dusty bar.

"We're gonna eat in there?" asked Ussop.

"We have to, we have a little amount of belli to go around," replied Nami.

"Looks fine to me," said Zoro. Zoro didn't really care as long as they had sake for him.

"FOOD," yelled Luffy and ran in.

Inside the restaurant they had a seat in the corner and Sanji ordered the food. Robin read the newspaper she bought.

TRAITOR CP9 MEMBER

The former member of the CP9, Ryoku Raiden, has assassinated a Commander. He is very dangerous and a potential threat to the World Government. He calls himself "Gunslinger Ryoku". He currently holds a bounty of 220 million belli. As far as we know he has no comrades.

This newspaper article interested Robin. "Interesting."

Chopper looked over and said, "What are you reading Robin-san?"

"Oh, just a newspaper article about a former CP9 member betraying the World Government."

Everyone looked at them and said, "A former who-what betraying the who-what?"

"Here this might help to explain it," said Robin.

They took a few minutes to read and then someone shouted, "IT'S GUNSLINGER RYOKU!"

Everyone looked at the man on top of his horse. He was wearing a black pirate hat, with a coat with long coat-tails. He had 2 black guns and 1 rifle strapped to his back. As the man got off his horse he went inside the bar. "I want 2 sandwiches to go and a bottle of sake," said the gunslinger.

"Sorry, we don't sell them traitors around here," yelled the bartender.

"I see," then he was about to leave when a bunch of marines came in.

"PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR YOU SCUM-BAG," yelled the sergeant, "YOUR COMING WITH US."

"Like hell I would, Rankyaku."

The marines fell like ripe apples on an autumn day.

"A-SUM (AWSOME)," yelled Luffy with his mouth full of food.

The gunslinger left on his black stallion and galloped to the shores.

"I'm gonna make him join our crew," said Luffy and he ran after him.

On the shores the gunslinger was about to get on his small boat when Luffy said, "WAIT!"

So what do you think? R&R
