Ch 1
The Thousand Sunny glided smoothly along the waves, and every crew member was off doing their normal stuff: Nami was drawing maps, Robin was reading, Franky and Usopp were working underneath, Chopper was working in his room, Sanji in the kitchen, Brook was on the deck trying to figure out a sitar, Zoro was in the gym, and Luffy was snoring on the deck. Zoro looked out the window, and saw a ship coming up. He spoke into the mike.
"Hey, I see a good-sized ship coming up," he announced. Robin looked over, while the other crew members joined on the deck. Brook was apparently completely ignorant and continued fiddling around with his instrument, and Luffy was still fast asleep. The ship grew closer.
"Look at it, it looks like it was completely torn to pieces," Franky said, crossing his arms. And he was right, the ship's sail was in tatters, and the ship itself looked old and weak. Anything colorful was gone.
"There is no money on the ship," Nami said plainly," I can smell it." Suddenly Luffy jolted awake.
"NAMI SMELLS SOMETHING?!" he cried.
"I don't smell any meat," the orange haired woman said.
"Ah man," Luffy said disappointed, but smiled when he saw the ship," cool a ship." Brook looked up, and walked over.
"Looks like my old ship," he said," this sends chills throughout my skin, but I have no skin, YOHOHOHOHO!" Luffy laughed with him. Some people popped up.
"Look a ship!" one them yelled. Everyone ran out, and they braced to jump.
"Get their treasure!" and they boarded the Thousand Sunny. When the dust cleared, they were all on the ground. One of them sat up.
"Sorry about that," he said," we just lost a whole a lot of money."
"To who?" asked Nami, looking worried.
"Some gamblers, but they were too good, we lost quickly, and lost all our money," the man said. The rest of the people began to stand up.
"If I were you, I'd hit the sea," another said, before the jumped back on their ship, and sailed away.
"A Davy Back Fight, I presume?" Robin questioned.
"Then that would mean that Foxy fellow," Brook stated.
"It's wasn't a Davy Back Fight, they still had their flag and sail," said Sanji. Nami turned around with her money eyes.
"There are players out there with a lot of money," she cried with happiness, lets go get it." She span around gleefully as she said this.
"Well, we could use the money," agreed Luffy. Usopp looked worried.
"But if they are good, then I bet they are also strong, let's go," he said.
"Let's go! Let's go!" echoed Chopper, on Usopp's head, but the ship was already sailing in that direction.
After a short while, another ship came up, the ship was colorful, and the lights were bright. It was slightly larger than the Thousand Sunny, and looked like a cruise ship.
"I wonder if that is them?" Franky said looking intrigued. An answer seemed to come when the ship drifted along side them. A colorful wheel was on the center, and two girls (one blonde, the other red) were standing there. A tall teenager with blonde hair and a yellow shirt stepped up.
"Step right up here, don't be shy, play the Wheel of Fate!" he announced," spin it right and win 300,000,000 Beri." Nami shot up with joy.
"300,000,000 BERI!" she cried," we have to play!"
"Let's think about this first," Zoro said calmly, he turned to Luffy," Captain?" Luffy thought of this for about 2 seconds.
"Let's do it," he said with a smile.
"Come aboard then," said the teen," the name's Eddy, and the ladies are Sarah and Nazz." The Straw Hat Pirates came aboard.
"We'll leave you alone for some time," Eddy said politely, and he and the girls went inside.
"We will be rich!" Nami cried dancing around. Robin smiled.
"You seem to be excited," she obviously stated calmly. Suddenly, another teenager, poked his head from behind something. He was as tall (if not slightly taller) than Eddy, wore a sock-like black hat, a red shirt, and blue shorts.
"Psst," he whispered, gesturing.
"Look another guy," Luffy pointed out. The guy ran over.
"I don't have much time," he said panting," my names is Edd, but call me Double D, look don't participate." Sanji frowned.
"Why not?" he asked.
"Look I want to tell you this but...," before he finished, he paused an looked mesmerized for a second.
"You okay?" asked Brook. Double D smiled.
"I mean, enjoy yourselves, get that money," and with that he ran inside.
"Well that was weird," said Zoro. Inside the ship, Double D lay against the wall panting.
"How you guys sleep at night I don't know," he said, looking up. Sarah, and a short boy with curly blonde hair and a blue shirt, were sitting on the couch.
"You say that all the time," said the boy. Behind him, was Nazz, a tall red-headed boy with a green shirt, a taller boy with blue hair, and another tall boy with a circle of fuzz on his head and a green jacket. Eddy stood on a platform, with a sneer.
"It is easy money," he said.
"But it is wrong," Double D protested, standing up straight.
"Need any more convincing?" asked the boy, a stranger flash in his eyes.
"No Jimmy, I don't," Double D sighed.
"Good, then let's get some money," Eddy sneered, cracking his knuckles, a snake slithered around his arm.
