Chapter One: And so It Begins...

In a wooden cabin looking over a small town sat a man. Two crossbows leaned in the corner and a long black coat with many holes in it hung on a handle. The handle to the door jiggled a bit and the door opened.

In walked a woman with long silky black hair and a beautiful figure, yet she had two very bad scares on her face. She wore an all read samurai outfit with a white sash, and a sword attached to it.

She looked at the man " You done cutting your hair yet?"

The man smirked to him self and stood up, placing sunglasses over his eyes. The man was clean shaven and had short black hair. He wore a black vest, and black leather pants. Around his neck was a cross necklace.

The man looked at the woman " Where are the others?"

She raised and eyebrow " They're waiting for you. Kiego is annoying me non stop!"

The man smirked " What? I just wanted to know,"

The woman huffed and crossed her arms, she then looked him up and down.

" You know Judge with that new look and change of attitude, you can be one good looking man,"

Judge just smirked " Oni you changed your attitude also,"

" I know so what brought around yours" asked Oni resting her arm on her hip.

" I found out my son is alive……now lets go get the others."

Oni smiled and followed along, down a dirt road. At the end of it two men stood waiting.

One had green hair, his eye's closed and a smile on his face. He wore a dark black robe and a rope tied around his waist. The second man had gaze and bandages rapped around the left side of his face. His hair was in a ponytail, he wore dark blue pants and a straight jacket.

" Plague were you get that straight jacket?"

The man with the bandages know as Plague frowned " Kiego got me sentenced to an asylum for two day's!"

The green haired man laughed, Judge raised an eyebrow then looked at Oni " I thought you were watching them?"

" There grown boy's," answered Oni

Plague crossed his arms " You guys act like are parents all the time,"

"Yeah!" yelled Kiego patting Plague on the arm.

BANG

SMACK

" Ow! What was that for Oni!" whined Kiego grabbing his head

Oni just grunted and pushed the two forward " Come kids lets follow Judge!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A blind man was being lead around a big gambling town in the Grand Line, by a little blonde boy.

The blind man could hardly be seen because he was cover in a worn out, hole filled cloak. The only noticeable thing about him was the metal pole he held in one hand. The other hand was on the child's shoulder.

The child had on a big brown hat, and worn out baggy cloths. For some reason the child was leading the blind man around town.

Pulling the man into a bar, the young child looked around at the faces in the bar. The bartender a man with his blonde hair in a ponytail, wearing sunglasses. Was serving three figures in tan tattered robes, one had a panda resting on there shoulder.

Sitting on the stage was a musician with his guitar on his lap. He wore mostly black leather with a vine pattern all over the jacket. A wide brimmed hat rested on his head and he wore a black glove on his left hand.

The little kid lead the blind man to the bar, but accidentally tripped and knocked a waiter into another man. The man was blonde and a pink bandana holding his hair up. He wore a fluffy blue feather coat and bright green cargo pants. He didn't were any shoes but he had a pair of sandals hanging from his belt.

Grabbing the little kid by the shirt the man yelled " Hey you little punk look at what you did!"

" I-I'm sorry m-mister," stuttered the kid

" Well I'm going to teach you a lesson-" but he was cut of when he was hit in the head with a staff, knocking him out.

" Don't pick on little kid's…" whispered the blind man in the robe. Motioning for the child to follow him. The blind man lifted the knock out guy and carried him out also.

" Doctor…"

The bartender, the three robed figures, and the musician's eye's all followed the three.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Ding-ding

The man and the child walked into the doctor's office, and threw the man on the ground. The child rang the desk bell, and a beautiful violet hair woman walked up to them.

Her hair was in a ponytail going down her back, and a pair of glasses rested on her head. She wore regular blue jeans, heals, and a regular lab coat.

The woman smiled at them " You know you can get up now this office is closed."

The man in the fluffy coat jumped up and gave the doctor a hug, smiling broadly " Shan I haven't seen you in such a long time!"

Shan laughed to her self as she hugged back " Endo we saw each other a few hours ago,"

The ex-captain of the Living Tree Pirates smile as he hugged his girlfriend.

" Will you two stop it an lets go to the back room," mumbled the blind man as he walked by them. The child huffed and kicked the guy in the back of the knee.

" Meku you ruined a good romance moment!"

Meku growled as he rubbed the back of his leg. " Penny stop bugging me and get out of that boy costume,"

Penny removed her hat letting long blonde hair fall down, " YEAH!" She then ran off towards the back. Meku was already out of sight.

That's when the door opened again, to reveal the bartender and musician. The bartender smirked as he also walked to the back, he removed his sunglass to reveal red eyes.

" Have you to had sex yet?"

SMACK

" Kazuya vou are 'ervert!" said the musician as he adjusted his guitar case onto his shoulder.

" Screw you Razz," mumbled Kaz as he walked back to get changed.

" Nice to see you guys to!" waved Endo still holding Shan who was blushing from Kazuya's comment, when the door dinged again.

In walked the three robed figures, two of them much taller than the third. The panda on the shortest shoulder yipped and leaped into Shan's arms.

" Nice to see you to Pan," she smiled looking at the three, Endo rubbed his chin,

" You guys can change you know?" he mumbled but the shortest on growled and punch him in the face, storming to the back. The remain two clocked figures sweat dropped, and mumbled something about 'time of month' and 'crazy rabbits'.

Shan smiled as she grabbed Endo's hand. " Come on, let's get to the meeting!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Endo glanced around the room to see his team, (excluding him, Shan, and Razz), dressed differently.

Elsa also calls Mac Mel but she's the only one on the crew or team that can call him his real name.

Sitting on Siamon's right is the youngest member of the crew at the age of ten/eleven is Penny Kia D. Mabui. She is the ex-cook of the Living Tree Pirates. Being the grandniece of the great chief and pirate Zeff, also living with him for a while Penny learned to cook.

Sitting next to Kaz, was Razz the ex-musician of the Living Tree's. Razz first met Mac and Elsa at their hometown, helping them break out of jail. After traveling with the two for a while, they gave him a 'job' and he left. Sometime later Razz met Kazuya, the two didn't get along exactly.

After seeing Kaz was hunting Mac and Elsa, Razz attacked him and ran. Later Razz was caught up to by Kazuya and later the Living Tree Pirates.

And finally Meku the historian. Meku is a blind man, but thanks to many special piercing over his ear's and nose his senses have been increased to that of a god. Meku was never a member of the Living Tree's but he did travel with them for a little bit before they were attacked.

He wears a black jacket zipped all the way up to his neck, The was a chain hanging out of two pockets. He wears white leather pants and black dress shoes. Meku was leaning back in his chair waiting.

Now Endo clapped his hands together and smiled "Guys, it's been a while since we all been in the same room together, and glad everyone changed there appearance from what there bounty poster's say."

" Still don't see why I had to cut my hair," mumbled Siamon crossing his arms. Mac chuckled to himself, then grunted slightly when Elsa elbowed him in the stomach. Mac glanced at her, she just smiled sweetly and waved at him, then turned to Endo.

" So Endo why did you call use here?" she asked leaning her head against Mac, and cuddled into that spot.

Endo smirked and adjusted his pink bandana that's holding his hair up.

" Where going to find a boat and get out of this town!" Penny jumped up with her fist in the air.

"Yay!"

Every one smile, but Mac " I'll only go along if I get to choose and expect the vessel before we buy,"

"Mel! Can't you be happy that we're finally getting out of her?" asked Elsa

Mac looked at her " It's my job, I'm the group's shipwright. So if I don't inspect it then it's my fault if something happens,"

Elsa nodded her head because she understood, then pulled him down to give him a kiss. Hey Mac is a good two feet taller than Elsa.

Endo coughed to get every one to look at him " Umm… guys there's another reason why I called us here,"

" Vhat is it?"

" Well the Death Root mercenaries have been hired!"

" REALLY! What is it!?" they all yelled at the same time.

" Well this guy named Rob Lucci hired use to take care of gang boss named Frankey at Water7,"

Siamon rubbed his chin Lucci … that name rings a bell…

" Well if where heading to Water Seven, we got to go threw Jaya," mumbled Elsa

" Yeah there's also a Navy base somewhere along that line,"

Endo smiled rapped his arm around Shan and gave her a kiss. When they broke apart Endo mumbled something to her that made her blush. He then turned to the crew.
