THE NAIL-NAIL FRUIT!

CH 1 It was all just pretend!

"Captain! Pirates! Off the port bow!"

"Well of coarse there are pirates! We're pretending to be pirates! and Shhh! my parents are trying to sleep!" A hoarse whisper came from the back of the closet where 3 small children were playing. One was larger then the other two. with broader shoulders. red brown hair shone even in the dim light. she had grey eyes that were hidden behind large glasses that always slipped down her small nose. Her name was Morgan. for the time being she was Captain Morgan. for she and her 2 friends were in the middle of a exciting pretend pirate night raid.

"Oh! Sorry!" The smallest of the children giggled her blond hair mussed up from a scuffle with a pretend Navy officer. "Your parents are always asleep! Are they vampires!" Her Apple green eyes widened.

"Bry, if they were Vampires they wouldn't open their window for the sun to come in and Morgan wouldn't be able to go out in the sun! She'd be a Vampire too!" The Third and Final child spoke up she had blue eyes that glared at her friend. Her short black hair was tied back by a black hair tie. she wore all black with small black boots. Her name was Skylar.

"Lets go outside then we can shout all we want!" Morgan announced as if the decision was already made. and in truth is already was in her mind.

"Aye Aye Captain!" the others to said in unison.

The three friends trooped outside. Morgan's house was owned by a lady that was also the owner of a car junkyard, which conwindidently((sp)) was the perfect spot to play pirates. with a small stream nearby.

10 Years later

"Hey! Captain! Captain!" Bry ran down the High school hallways chasing after Morgan, shoving her way through a small crowd.

"Huh?" Morgan turned to stare at Bry as she ran down the hall way her pretty blonde hair flying out behind her. "God your still calling me Captain? that was all just pretend Bry!" Morgan closed her eyes and pushed her glassed up on her nose.

"Ha Ha! it was your favorite game! I believe you'll become a pirate one day!" Bry grabbed Morgan's arm and looped her arm around it. Today Bry was dressed in a White dress with lace peeping out in the perfect places. at first glance she looked forgotten but upon closer inspection the forgotten look was what made her beautiful.

"Doesn't everyone believe that about me?" Morgan sighed and allowed her self to be dragged down the hallway. She was still bigger than all the other kids even in high school. Her hair was more red than brown now. she wore torn jeans and a suit top. High top sneakers pounded after Bry as they reached the still under construction Tech hall way where the rest of their friends were waiting.

"Hey Princess, you brought the Captain back!" Kate laughed when she saw small Bry dragging Large Morgan past the doors. Kate was a tall girl with a willowy build. she had heavy purple eye shadow on with a jean skirt and a hello kitty shirt on in her hands there was a Manga book entitled One Piece. Hers and Morgan's favorite Manga. Her nails were painted a Neon Green.

"Heeeeeeeey Captain!" Amanda winked from her sitting position on the floor. her tunic like shirt hung loosely on her small frame as she tied one of her sneakers.

"Why does everyone keep on calling me that!" Morgan looked around at the group of people crowded there in the small hallway. The following list is the list of people, and their nicknames so you will know what the hell I'm talking about, and possibly their descriptions and ages. that were in that hall way on that fateful day.

Morgan, Captian,16

Bry,Princess,16

Kate, K-Kat,16

Skylar, Death, Wearing her usual black a medieval skirt with a corset and a black t-shirt,16

Amanda, First Mate, brown hair and brown eyes,17

Sarah, Ava, wearing a skirt and a nice shirt. brown hair brown eyes.16

Justin, Lupine, wearing a red sweatshirt and jeans brown hair brown eyes 18

That was a lazy way of describing the characters but you'll just have to deal.

"Soooo, why is everyone here?' Morgan leaned against the wall.

"Well-" Bry began

But before she could finish the door burst open and hit her in the face. all of the friends stood up and glared at the boy in the door way, who was flanked by 2 cronies.

It was Alex with his two lackeys, who's names are not even worth mentioning at this time. Alex sneered at Bry.

"Stupid girl, you shouldn't stand behind doors serves you right heh heh!" Alex laughed cruely as Bry clutched her bleeding nose tears welling up in her eyes.

"Don't you make fun of our Princess!" Morgan snarled as she pulled Bry back and told Death to look after her. stooping down Morgan picked up a pole from the floor, the construction crew had left it there.

"What are you going to do about it? Huh? Over-grown freak!" Alex snarled back.

"Our Captain isn't over grown you just don't like for girls to be taller that you sexist jerk!" Lupine growled coming to stand next to Morgan.

"Clear off Alex before things get nasty," Sean said quietly.

But it was too late Morgan swung the pole at Alex's head. Luckily Alex ducked then after a few choice words. he ran out of the hall followed by his two lackeys.

"Are you alright, Princess?" Morgan asked Bry.

"Yes I'm fine its just little nose bleed," Bry laughed a little looking down at her once white dress now spattered with blood.

"What were you telling me before Alex came in?" Morgan handed Bry her suit jacket.

"Well my dad said that we could go out on the WarHammer this weekend!" Bry grinned at her friend.

"Really?" Morgan's eyes light up

"Yeah Daddy said as long as we brought enough people to pilot her!" Bry nodded

"Well are you guys in?" Morgan looked around at her friends

"YOU BET!" every one shouted.

"ITAI PIRATES ARE SETTING SAIL AGAIN!" Morgan shouted and laughed joining hands with K-Kat and dancing around.

Ch 2 Onto the Horizon and don't stop!

Saturday morning dawned bright and clear. on the docks stood the group of friends staring up at the large old fashion pirate ship that was docked before them. Morgan smiled as the sea breeze brushed against her face.

"You look happy captain," Lupine smiled as he watched the captain's hair being tossed about by the wind.
"I am happy Lu!" Morgan grinned at her friend.

"I'm glad" Lupine's heart skipped a beat when he saw Morgan's smile.

"Alright lets board, make sure we've got enough provisions for a 3 day journey! Amanda make sure the sail is intact and all the ropes are secure and that the ship is in working order!"

"Aye Aye Captain!"

3 hours later...

Morgan in the front of the ship her hair being blown back by the strong sea wind. The WarHammer was sailing beautifully through the waves. Behind her Death was lounging beneath a black umbrella. her long black hair was pulled up into a bun at the base of her neck. Near by Bry and Kate were fishing. Bry squealed when she reeled in a fish wriggling and flopping about. Amanda stood at the wheel looking ahead ever watchful for any dangers to their precious ship. Jossy had set up a table on the deck mapping out a course for them to follow. Sean was on the top of the cabin repairing a hole in the ceiling. Meih-ling was washing a few dishes and setting them out for dinner. Sarah was going through the supplies checking off the food on a long list she had.

Morgan looked around for Justin wondering where he could be. she looked up at the mast then smiled Justin was in the crow nest watching all of them there eyes met and Morgan grinned and waved. Justin waved back and smiled.

That night they all sat around eating the dinner that Meih-ling had prepared for them.

"This is great Meh!" Bry scarffed down her 2nd plate. "Yummy!"

"Tank you Bry!" Meih-ling said in her heavy Chinese accent.

"Ha Ha! The Sun The Sea! this is the life!" Morgan raise her mug of soda up and looked around.

"The Immortal words of Monkey D. Luffy!" K-Kat laughed and clinked her mug with Morgan's soon everyone followed suit.

Once everyone had retired to the cabin Morgan took the first shift watching out for any danger. She stared out at the horizon watching the sun set. "Onto the Horizon and don't stop!" Morgan said quietly.

"You like the sea don't you Morgan?" Justin climbed the stairs to reach the wheel

"Of coarse I do, otherwise I wouldn't want to be a Pirate..." Morgan watched Justin.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why do you want to be a Pirate?" Justin leaned on the wheel with Morgan.

"I don't know... I just always have wanted to be one so I'm just gonna be one even if its for a little while..." Morgan said quietly smiling as she leaned her cheek against the wood of the wheel.

Justin watched her and blushed "I'm glad you have a dream..."

"What's your dream Lu!" Morgan looked up at him and smiled excited to hear about Justin's dream.

"me? I'm not sure... Probably to win a championship in Martial arts or something like that..." Justin shrugged.

"Well I think you can do it!" Morgan nodded "Yeah definitely! You can do it! I believe in you!" Morgan winked at Justin "You believe in me and I'll believe in you! Deal?" she held out her hand and grinned.

"..." Justin smiled "Deal!" He clasped her hand and almost pulled her closer but quickly released her hand blushing and looking away.

"You should get some rest!" Morgan didn't seem to notice Justin's strange behavior.

"Right, my shift is in the morning... I'll see you in the morning..." Justin waved as he walked away.

Morgan stood watch for a few more hours the WarHammer sailing onward. Her eyes closed briefly when she opened them the horizon was glowing a neon green. she blinked a few times staring at the horizon, she rubbed her eyes then pinched herself. "ow... Oh man what's up with the sea?" she steered the Ship toward the green glow. suddenly the ship shuddered and shook. Morgan lost her balance falling on the deck hitting her head and blacking out.

Ch 3 The Nail-Nail Fruit

The next morning Morgan awoke looking around for her crew. sitting up she blinked again.

"oh no... this is to much like...ONE PIECE!" she stared around then jumped up and ran into the cabin "GUYS WAKE UP! THERE SOMETHING STRANGE GOING ON!" Morgan shook everyone awake.

"What's up?" Kate's head popped out from under her covers.

"Take a look outside!" Morgan pushed her glasses up her nose.

All of them ran outside and Kate squealed "WE'RE IN ONE PIECE I JUST KNOW IT!" she turned to Morgan "Take off your glasses!" she stared at Morgan

"What why?" Morgan was practically blind with out her glasses.

"Because is your vision blurry?"

"Yeah... its probably the sea air though..."

"I don't think so!" Kate snatched Morgan's glasses and Morgan made to snatch them back but then stopped.

"hey I can see fine!" she looked around then went push up her glasses finding that they weren't there anymore then laughed.

"Hey! watch this!" Sean Moved his left index and middle finger, which they all knew had been paralyzed.

"Princess your knees?" Death turned to Bry.

"They don't hurt!" Bry laughed and spun her yellow cotton dress fluttering around her.

"I love it here!" Morgan shouted and jumped up and down she grabbed Justin, who happened to be closest and danced around with him spinning around and leaping.

"We should probably find a town to figure out where we are..." Jossy looked at her now useless maps of the ocean near their home.

"Right! Amanda set a coarse for the nearest town... Hold on! Amanda do you have that One Piece color walk that I gave you for your birthday?" Morgan looked at Kate, "there was a map of the East Blue in there. Maybe we could find out where we are..."

"Good idea! ill go get it! You know I never leave home without it!

"Hey that's Gaimon's Island over there!" Kate pointed at the nearby island

"How do you know that?" Morgan stared at Kate

"If you've read One Piece as much as I do you'd know it too..." Kate Shrugged.

Amanda brought the map of the East Blue.

"So the place where Luffy and Crew fought Captain Kuro is near by we'll make a bee-line for that then well find the Baratie, then its to CoCo Village... and see if we cant get to the grand line!" Morgan outlined the route with her finger.

"You've thought allot about this haven't you?" Death stared at Morgan.

"More than you know..." Morgan shrugged.

So the companions set out for the village where Luffy and the Straw hat crew had fought Captain Kuro. They fished and mapped out every stretch of sea that they sailed through. At night Morgan always took first shift, everyone recognized Morgan as the captain and no one challenged it. Justin often stayed up with her. Talking about different things. Ranging from Favorite color to how they feel about stuff. One such night found Justin sitting on the cabin roof with Morgan watching for other ships or land.

"What do you feel about being sucked into this dimension?" Justin fiddled with the ties to his shoes.

"I love it….its a lot more exciting than our old world!" Morgan lay back and stared up at the sky starting to count the stars.

"I'm glad that your happy…" Justin's heart thumped in his chest.

"Thanks!" Morgan smiled

"Morgan…."

"Yeah Lu?" Morgan looked over at Justin's back

"I want to tell you that I-"

"HEY LOOK THE BARATIE!" Morgan sat up and pointed at the floating Restaurant.

"But we where supposed to go to a village first…" Justin stared at the ship.

"I guess Kate's calculations were off…. That must have been the village instead of Gaimon's island!" Morgan laughed and jumped up she hopped off the cabin roof and released the anchor. The WarHammer came to a shuddering stop.

"Looks like we'll be meeting the Fighting Cooks sooner than I thought!" Morgan ran into the Cabin grabbing Death's black bed sheet and yanking it off Death's bed. Causing Death to wake up.

"Hey what are you doing?" Death muttered as she stumbled out of bed and followed Morgan out of the cabin rubbing her eyes and smearing her standard black makeup.

"We need a flag if we're going to be Pirates!" Morgan spread the sheet out on the deck. She found paint and paint brushes in the storeroom. "Especially of we're going to see the Fighting Cooks!"

Morgan knelt on the sheet taking white paint she painted a Jolly Roger. Replacing the crossbones with two pistols. The skull had its tongue sticking out in a mocking way. Behind the Jolly Roger Justin painted a crescent moon.

"Why did you use my sheet?" Death asked as she helped tie the new flag to the rope then rose the flag to fly high above the WarHammer.

"Because it was black…." Morgan watched the flag raise "Wow! That looks great!"

"Yeah now we're a real Pirate crew!" Justin grinned then yawned. "Wow I'm tired."

"We'll approach the Baratie tomorrow," Morgan nodded. "Its your turn to watch out for anything Death! Have Fun!" Morgan scampered into the Cabin and dived into her bed covering herself before anyone could respond.

The next morning Morgan awoke the rest of the crew informing Kate that she was wrong about the Island, and that they were now close to the Baratie.

"Ok sense we officially have a Pirate flag we need positions on the crew! I am the Captain if no one has any objections…" she paused and no one spoke up. "Ok then, Death your our gunner, along with Shadow. Jossy you're the Navigator. Amanda you're my First Mate! K-Kat you're the doctor, you know most about medicine… Meih-Ling you're the cook. Justin you're my Right hand. Princess your helping K-Kat in the medicine department. Sarah you need to help Meih-Ling, you two are the only ones I want to trust in the kitchen. Any problems?"

"No Captain!" The Crew saluted and went to do their jobs.

"Amanda bring us close to the Baratie. Nobody attack remain peaceful even if they do try to attack us. Remember we don't have any weapons but they don't know that!" Morgan climbed onto the roof of the cabin Justin standing next to her.

As the WarHammer drew close to the Baratie Morgan watched as about 30 cooks came out all holding various weapons. A man came to the front of all the cooks. He had a tall hat with a braided blond mustache. One peg leg clunked as it hit the deck of the floating restaurant.

"Its Red Shoes Zeff….." Kate said quietly she had changed into a nurses outfit always supplied with the strangest outfits. Bry stood next to her in her yellow cotton dress.

"If you've come to take the Baratie then you'll have to go through all of us!" another cook shouted.

"Patty…." Amanda snickered.

"Yeah we aren't afraid of a bunch of tasteless maggots!" another chief yelled

"Carne!" Meih-ling peeped out of the cabin.

"We aren't here to fight the fighting cooks. We only came for some food and maybe directions to Coco village!" Morgan shouted to the cooks.

Zeff stared at her then nodded

"I see… well board the Baratie." He turned and kicked Patty "Get to work you Crap Eggplants! You heard the lady she wants to feed her crew! Get cooking!" the cooks all scurried into the kitchens.

Amanda brought the WarHammer close to the Baratie and Morgan let the gang plank out Sean went first then he helped Princess down. Death and K-Kat followed. Meih-Ling was carrying a notepad and a pencil saying that she would like to write some recipes down. Amanda let the anchor down and ran down the gang plank. Justin followed her, then checking her ship Morgan followed.

"I thank you Crap-Geezer…. OPPS! Oh I'm so sorry! I'm sorry Chief Zeff!" Morgan clapped her hands over her mouth "I just heard a young man talk about you and what he called you rubbed off on me!"

"Sanji….Crap Baby Eggplant….You've met him?" Zeff looked interested.

"ER…. In a round about way I suppose…." Morgan laughed nervously.

"How is the Crap Eggplant?" Zeff led them into the resturant.

"He's good I can tell you he's come over some tough situations!" Morgan followed Zeff and her Crew followed her.

After talking to the cooks and relaxing a bit. They all sat down for some food. Morgan had a salad that had some sort of strange silver fruit chopped up in it.

The fruit tasted nasty but she wasn't about to say that in front of every cook. Once she had eaten the last piece of the fruit, she started to cough violently. Justin patted Morgan on the back wondering if she was choking.

"Where is that silver fruit?" Zeff stared at Morgan's plate a scrap of the silver fruit was still left.

"Oh I use it in Captain Morgan's Salad" Patty said obviously proud of himself.

"Fool!" Zeff kicked Patty clean across the dining room. "That was one of the Devil Fruits! The Nail-Nail Fruit!" Zeff turned to Morgan who was staring at her nails.

Her naturally long nails had turned a metallic silver color growing into sharp tips. Morgan's eyes widened as she stared at her nails they grew to the size of daggers. She held her hand up to the light watching as the rays of light bounced of her now metal nails.

"I….I… I wont be able to swim…." Morgan looked over at Zeff. Her eyes were sad, yet excited at the same time.

"The Nail-Nail Fruit?" Princess took Morgan's hand and touched one of the nails "Ouch!" she had cut herself on the nail. "Their sharp!"

"I'm sorry Princess!" Morgan yanked her hand back the nails shrinking to normal sized nails.

"You had better be careful with those," Zeff nodded to her "Crap Baby Carrot, you ate my Devil Fruit! I was going to sell that!"

"Grrr! Crap-Geezer! You don't need any more money! You have plenty!" Morgan glared at Zeff but smiled then started to laugh.

"Ha Ha Ha! You're a Crap-Baby-Carrot!" Amanda snickered. "At least your not a Eggplant!"

"I hate Eggplant!" Morgan pulled a face.

Everyone laughed and soon everyone went to bed. Morgan stood on the deck of the Baratie her hair blowing out with the wind. She looked at her nails, they glowed in the moonlight. She made the index finger nail grow catching a lock of her hair she cut it off. Then she continued to chop most of her hair off. She went to the lower deck and looked at her reflection in the water. Her hair was like Luffy's now. She smiled and went to the WarHammer finding her bag under her bunk she pulled out a dew rag it was green and black tying it around her head she stood up and rolled her shoulders.

She changed out of her old clothes and put a green tank-top and black pants. Tying a black scarf around her waist.

"Its about damn time I start acting like the Pirate I want to be…" Morgan walked outside the cabin and looked up at the moon. "I'll beat Luffy to One Piece and I'll become Queen of the Pirates!" she shouted the last words.
