I was completely inspired by what happened in Dressrosa. Also I really want Luffy to meet Shanks who meets Sabo for the first time! I PROMISE I will finish this story all the way to the end.
MAJOR SPOILER - DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU ARE CHAPTER 802+ CAUGHT UP ON THE MANGA.

"The sea sure is long," Luffy said gaping at the view of the blue waters that stretched for miles. He was sitting on the lions head at the front of the Sunny. He had his hands resting in his lap and was leaning back against the figure head. It was peaceful to stare at the sea with his head held back like this doing absolutely nothing unless. . .
"LUFFY! THERE'S AN ISLAND UP AHEAD! WHERE SHOULD WE DOCK THE—"
"TAKE OFF THOSE STUPID EARMUFF'S AND STOP YELLING IN MY EAR," Luffy screamed as Usopp flinched backward almost falling off the side of the ship. Shocked at Luffy's quick response, he struggled to take off his earmuffs. The weather in the New World was ridiculous. One day, it's scorching hot, the next it's freezing cold. Every now and then, snow or hail would come pouring down from the sky. The crew try to avoid the impact of the large chunks of hail but with Nami's help, they were able to get around it.
"I said 'There's an island up ahead—", Usopp repeated again.
"I heard you the first time," Luffy interrupted.
"Okay, then where do you want us to dock the—"
"Somewhere close to town if there is one," Luffy interrupted again.
"OI! QUIT DOING THAT!" Usopp yelled.
"Doing what?"
"YOU KNOW WHAT! QUIT INTERRUPTING ME!"
"No."
"Excuse Me?!"
"You heard me, No."
". . ." Usopp wasn't surprised. He knew his captain wasn't the type to listen.
"Besides, you yelled at me first," Luffy said looking away with his mouth puckered to the side.
"That's no excuse."
"At least I don't lie."
"What does that have to do with us yelling?"
"I'm not yelling."
"You were just a minute ago," Usopp was starting to annoyed and a little impatient.
"You yelled at me first," Luffy repeated.
"WOULD YOU TWO SHITHEADS SHUT UP! GET IN HERE AND EAT ALREADY!" Sanji screamed as he pointed to the kitchen. Luffy and Usopp looked up at Sanji, then at each other. They were relieved & kinda grateful that Sanji showed up to stop their little feud. They both ran up the stairs and into the kitchen to eat the mouth watering food that Sanji always makes.
"Fo Wami, fow pong rill et bake fu ket fu wah vex (gulp) island?" Luffy asked Nami while chewing on a piece of meat.
{So Nami, how long will it take to get to the next island?}
"First off, don't talk with your mouth full. *sigh* Let's see, the island we're headed to is called Nokowelps Island. It's known to be the only island with the tallest trees in the New World." Nami replied.
"Hmmm, . . . what about the next island?" Luffy asked.
"We haven't even docked at this island yet, why are you so interested in the next one?" Nami asked raising an eye at Luffy. She was starting to get curious about her captain's appeals. She was always fascinated with the idea of how Luffy's mind worked.
Luffy thought about an answer for a while, "Hmmmm, . . . I have a feeling that something will happen on this island."
Suddenly, everyone diverted their attention from their food to Luffy. Sure, sometimes Luffy can be a bit of a reckless idiot when it comes to his role as a captain. Even so, there are times when he gets serious. Luffy's always the one who causes the most trouble where ever they go. But, if he's the one who points it out, sure enough they all knew he's is almost never wrong.
"What do you suppose might happen then, Luffy?" it was Robin who asked.
Luffy turned his head in the direction of Nokowelps island. "Don't know, I have a bad feeling about it though."
"We should probably stick close to each other then," Sanji suggested taking the cigarette from his mouth.
"In that case, we'll go in groups of 3—," Nami said.
"~Robin-chawn~Nami-swan~You can go with me if you'd like~," Sanji merrily said with his arms flailing about and hearts in his eyes.
Ignoring Sanji's sudden interruption, Nami continued, "Like I said, it'll be groups of 3. The first group will be Luffy, Usopp, & Chopper. The second will be Brook, Sanji, & Zoro. The third will be Robin, Franky, & myself. If Luffy is right about what he said, then it'll be easier if there was a devil fruit user in each group. If something bad does happen then, head back to the Sunny ASAP."
"We can use these red flares I made not too long ago," Usopp suggested raising his hand.
"Perfect, we'll use that to signal everyone back to the ship." Nami said.
"Speaking of red . . . Nami-san" Brook said trailing off.
"Yes? What is it, Brook?" Nami asked.
"What color are your panti—", Brook said before getting punched in the face by an enraged Nami.
"Not telling!" Nami said before giving out a heavy sigh, "now then, is there anything that I missed captain?" Nami asked turning to Luffy.
Luffy looked up at Nami and smiled that dumb idiot smile he always puts on. "Shishishi...Yep", he turned toward his crew who were waiting for him to speak, "Stay safe and don't get separated."
And with that, the crew finished their meals and split ways to get ready for their adventure on Nokowelps island. Other than supplies and food, they needed to be ready for anything. They knew the New World would be tough and they had two years to prepare for it. They were ready for the worst. Usopp gave each group a flare gun and 2 red flares, in case they lost the first one.
Standing in front if the Sunny, Luffy made his final announcement before the groups departed on the island, "Listen up everyone. Like I said before, stay safe and stick together, you never know what might happen. Sanji's group will get the food and supplies. Nami's group will recon for info. And my group will go exploring. Shishishishi."
They all sighed at the last thing Luffy said. If there's one thing they knew about their captain, it was that he loved to explore and have fun. Even though all he does is cause more trouble for them.
