Hello Viewers and or bystanders reading over someone's shoulder!

This story was written as a dare from a very smug friend of mine, who is watching me type this, the jerk. Anyway One Piece is a anime/manga that just about everyone loves to write fic's about and I'm not going to ver off the beaten path, at lest not that far.

Now the lay out of the crew in the normal fic's is simple:

Luffy - Captain. Zoro - First Mate. Nami - Navigator. Ussopp - Sniper. Sanji - Cook

Chopper - Doctor. Robin - Archeologist. Franky - Shipwright. Brook - Musician

My isn't going to be that simple just warning for later chapters! Well now let's go on to the Story! Welcome to the first ever chapter of my fiction! One Piece: Status Quo Pirate Style!

Chapter 01

I own only OCsPlotMyself Anony owns only Anonys dare!

I looked around for my wayward brother. "Hey Elwood!" Found him, now what is he doing with that dagger? "Hello Luffy and what are you doing with that dagger, hem?" I watched as he started to sweat "I was going to prove to Shanks that I was strong enough to be a pirate...by stabbing myself in the face." I stared at him "Do you have a dagger for me." Luffy grinned handing me one as well, slowly looking it over I smiled "Shall we?"

Walking up onto the Red Force I waited for Luffy. A second later my whistle pierced the air "What are you two doing up there!" I glanced at the nameless crew member before smirking "Because were up here." He blinked in confusion. "Aaahhw don't spoil their fun Max." There he is "Well Luffy now?" A tiny nod.

Raising the dagger up I stuck it in my mouth at the left corner moments later I withdrew the dagger well blood streamed down the smirk like wound. Before I fainted I saw Luffy catch me.

I woke up in the back bedroom of Party's Bar Luffy resting at my side, raising my hand I touched what I knew to be a scaring mark doing so I woke Luffy. "Elwood your awake! The doctor stitched us up he said we'd have scars." I smiled feeling the stitches pull but hold "Good we deserve them for that. Help me up I want to look in the mirror."

Standing slowly I held onto Luffys arm walking to the dresser with a few stumbles, looking into the reflective glass I giggled. "Well now we don't look like twins, saddening." I watched as mirror Luffy frowned before smiling "We can I still have my dagger I caught it from Benn when he threw it."

I nodded before holding my hand out, Luffy placed the dagger in it aiming the dagger under my left eye I stabbed an inch before pulling it out. Handing the dagger over I pressed against the cut and watched Luffy slice a smirk into the left side of his mouth curving up his cheek. Acting quickly I put him on the bed and ran to get Makino, she would be pissed.

Sadly I was right what I had forgotten about was Shanks. "You did what!!!!" I plugged my ears before running back to the room Makino, Shanks, and the doctor fallowing me at a breakneck pace. When we entered the room I was across the room in seconds sitting next to Luffy "Move I need to help him!" I glanced back as the doctor started stitching up Luffy mouth. Shanks was worried well Makino was crying into Shanks side, turning back I jerked in surprise as the doctor was in my face with a needle.

I grimaced as I sat on the bed my cheek on fire and a couple of bumps on my head "Now tell us why you two did something so stupid!" I groaned as my ears were assaulted once again. Checking Luffy I looked at Makino "We wanted to match...It was mainly my idea not Luffy he only had the dagger." I was awarded with another bump and a ear full.

I growled as I fell off the bed "Hungryyy!" Pushing to my feet I pulled Luffy asleep with me down the stairs to the bar. Makino was still mad about our idiocy from weeks prior, luckily Shanks was out at the pier and only Benn was there to look at us with disappointment. "Makinooo, foooood!" She looked at us with sadness before moving her eyes back to the food I sighed in depression at how she couldn't stand the scars.

I slowly chewed the meat watching for the stitches to not bust them, Benn watched us eat just in case as well "When are you going out?" Benn grimaced "Afternoon, we'll begone for a month before our last stop here then we will head back to the Grand line." I pouted well as much as I could. "Luffy what do you think?" I glanced at him, the scared side faced me as if he were smiling. "I don't know with wait time it'll take two months before Shanks leaves but he's still angry at us. What about you Elwood." I yawned "We need something to cover our scars, the village is frightened of our...smiles, bandannas." Luffy nodded still eating.

I smack Luffy upside the head "No Luffy, were not here to buy dresses. Sir we need 10 meters of dark green canvas, and 3 spools of green thread. Please." Paying the clerk I dragged Luffy back to the bar. Makino smiled at us as I ran up the stairs "Hi, bye!" I smiled pulling Luffy to a stop "Now for the cloaks. Hold still!" I started measuring and cutting, stitching and adding leaving nothing to waste. I giggled as I sat back and studied the cloak it was perfect, a plain green cloak with a mask slip placed in the hood. I tugged on the arm to check the hiddy holes and fingerless gloves added, a work of art and stealth. The perfect cloak to hide our gruesome scars.

I sat at the bar staring at Shanks he was leaving for the Grand line "So this is the day you two I'll miss both of you." Luffy hugged me, quiet tears soaking my shirt.

I held onto Luffy as Shanks started up the gangplank "I'll become a pirate and have a crew better then you Shanks!" I smiled as Shanks stooped down and pressed his sacred Strawhat onto Luffy head. No words were passed as he held his hand up and a deck of cards were tossed into it, I watched as he held them out to me with a smile as I took them he walked away.

For hours I sat and stared at the deck of cards, all of the cards were jokers with razor sharp edges. I finally looked up when Grandpa barged in and grabbed me, Luffy already in one hand I hung with my cards being placed in a pocket. "We are going somewhere new! An you will live there from now on!" I groaned looking at Luffy with a blank stare he mimicked me before kicking Gramp's.

I swung back and forth as Gramp's carried us up Mt. Carvono humming a tune at random, Luffy was asleep "So is the Ace at this place?" Gramp's grumbled a unintelligible noise. I sighed before drifting off as well the jungle scenery lulling me away.

Luffy tapped me awake stretching midair I looked at the orange haired woman? in front of me "Yo." I bowed before hitting Gramp's hand away letting me drop. Walking off I looked up a tree to see a boy Ace? I shook my head as Luffy joined me in looking at the boy. "Please allow me to introduce myself and my brother, Monkey D Elwood and Luffy." He spat at us missing when I sidestepped.

"Luffy! Elwood! You'll be living here from now on try not to kill them!" I facepalmed as he walked off, hopefully leaving the island. The woman, Dadan, started rambleing off a impossible list of chores I watched Luffy edge away fallowing his plan we ran once out the door. "Where to Luffy?" He shrugged I laughed "We need a tree for the night. Tomorrow we can work on shelter and meals." He nodded.

Trees are not a comfortable bed try not to sleep in them, I popped and crack as I stood "Lu? How are you?" A groan drifted from the branch under me "El? Let's never do this again." I hissed stretching up "Agreed" jumping down I started walking in a unknown direction, hopefully east. I listened as Luffy walked behind me pushing pass a bush I stopped staring awed at the sight before me. Mountains of trash, people living in it, and the smell...pure shit.

Jogging down a heap I barreled into Luffys back a sack of stuff in hand "Let's go Lu!" I gasped barely breathing before charging on. When we left we bumped into Ace and a blonde boy, who dragged us to a tree and tied us up, assholes. "Why are you fallowing me!" I blinked "How would we have followed you we were in the forest last night." I nodded along to what Luffy said "Yeah we didn't see you walk by so how could we have followed you?" Ace blushed well the blonde snickered "Shut it Sabo!" I smiled Sabo and Ace two brats in crime.

I smirked at the stunned faces of Ace and Sabo as I tucked away one of my cards the rope dropping to the grass "I do believe that we can have a beautiful partnership Me and Luffy need a house, and you two want cash. Help us build the house and we'll pay you a neat sum. Deal?" Sabo shook my hand as I chuckled.

What I didn't know was that, that was the beginning of something that would one day make the world shake and oceans roar, a band of demons waiting to rise.

That is the end of the first chapter of One Piece: Status Quo Pirate Style!
