Luffy and the gang come to an island and meet a man with "odd" nightly habits
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece, yet, but my plan is in motion, mwahahaha
Wind and Tails
Note: this is after they got Thousand Sunny, but before they went through the Florian Triangle.
"Island ho!!"
The crew all perked up at the cry of land, they hadn't been off the ship in months and the supplies were running low. Sanji was running out of different types of seasoning, Nami was low on paper, Zoro desperately needed a new sword, and Chopper wanted to see if there were any medical supplies on this island. Luffy was nagging Sanji for food, Robin was fine lounging around, and Franky was just plain old bored. As they dock and get off the ship, a young man approaches them. "I would hide your ship or at least your flag if I were you," he warns. "This island doesn't take kindly to pirates." The young man is a little taller than Luffy, but has short fiery red hair that somehow stayed upright in the wind. He had on a black shirt with a high collar so that if he ducked his head, his face was hidden. His shorts went slightly past his knees, and were white, despite the dust that had been thrown up because of the wind. He had a slight build, and his hair was flying in his face, but the thing the crew could not stop looking at were his eyes. They were bright green, and looked as if they would glow in the dark. "Who are you?" Luffy rather bluntly asks. The young mans smiles and says, "I'm sorry, my name is Kumo, I'm a resident of this island. Here, everyone knows everyone else." Then, the entire crew starts pestering him with questions.
"Where is a medical store?"
"Is there a place that sells paper?"
"Where is the sword shop?"
"Ne, where is the grocery store?"
Kumo waves the questions off and then explains that he will take them on a tour of the town, and then back to his house for a place to stay. Everyone agrees with this, and the tour begins. Kumo first accommodates the captain, by taking them to the bar where, he explains, that there is a sale on an "All you can eat" buffet. Soon, they are kicked out because Luffy ate all the food in the restaurant. As they were walking through town, Nami started noticing that glances were being thrown at Kumo, and then people would leave, as if they were afraid. When she asked about this, the man assured her he would explain later, but had a sad expression on his face. Later, after all the errands were done, one by one, all the crewmembers except Luffy had noticed the townspeople's reactions to Kumo. As he led the crew back to his house, a citizen affronted Kumo, asking, why he was scaring off his customers, and would not be let back into his restaurant. Once again, the entire crew noticed, except Luffy.
Once they get to the house, Nami asks why that man confronted him, and why they had to move their ship. Kumo sighs. He explains that he is viewed as a curse in their village, because ever since he got there, pirates had been attacking the island. Somewhat recently, when the pirates did attack, a masked being fends them off. "They say he has never even been touched in a fight, and that he hides his face because it is mutilated. The villagers have taken to calling him Mirage." Suddenly, Luffy realizes that the house is empty of other people. He asks where Kumo's family is. Kumo answers, "They were killed by pirates, during the first raid this island experienced while I was here."
