Prologue

Captain Axe of the Axe-Head Pirates leaned on the railing of their ship, the Tomahawk, gazing out at the beautiful ocean around it. He and his crew of very interesting people had been sailing the Grand Line by themselves for awhile now. Not too long ago, they were dragged into a secret coup made by a Shichibukai to take control of the desert kingdom of Alabasta. During that journey, his crew met the Straw Hat Pirates, who were led by a young rookie by the name of Monkey D. Luffy.

Through the journey, the boy continued to surprise Axe. He was strong willed and very strong physically. He even took out the plotting Shichibukai, Sir Crocodile. Even though they freed Alabasta and helped it's Princess, Vivi Nefertari, from a great civil war, they still had to escape the Marines. Apparently, the World Government didn't want any news leaking out that it was because of pirates that Alabasta was saved.

Sighing, Axe looked down at the water, looking at his reflection in the blue. He loved the ocean, and the "pirating" life he had, even though he considered himself a treasure hunter instead of a pirate. In fact, his way of life brought him out to the deck now. For a treasure hunter, he hadn't found a single clue, map, or even a rumor about a treasure worth hunting.

"Man...ain't nothing to do...," he sighed again and kicked the deck idly, "Is it so hard to ask for something to do?! Something to hunt?! Hell, right now, I'd even go for a little Beli coin!"

As if on cue, the ship came to a jerking halt and Axe fell to the deck flat on his face.

Groaning, Axe lifted his head, eye twitching, "Sonofa...I asked for something good, not to run aground!" he climbde to his feet and walked to the bow of the ship and saw that the Tomahawk was now halfway out of the sea and halfway onto a large, white, sandy beach. Beyond that was a thick, beautiful jungle that seemed to go on foreever.

"What the hell happened?!"

"Azu was probably drunk at the helm again,"

"No, he wasn't, I made sure that he didn't interfere with my navigations,"

Axe turned to see some of his nakama walking out of different areas of the ship. Among them were his first mate Devon, his navigator Chizuru, and his scout Dusty Wenata.

"Captain, what happened?" Chizuru asked politely, walking up to him.

Axe jerked a thumb to the beach, "We ran aground. I didn't even see the island coming, I was looking out at sea," he looked around, "Where's Niri, she's supposed to keep watch for stuff like this!"

"I think I saw her in her quarters with Pingu and Kirsty," Chizuru offered, "They're trying out the newest addition to the ship, courtesy of Azu,"

Axe scowled, "Newest addition?"

The captain entered the girls' quarters to find it empty. As he turned to leave, he saw something that wasn't there before. It was a trapdoor in the floor and a ladder going down. Steam was rising out of it. His scowl deepening, he climbed down the ladder to find...

"OH MY GOD! AXE YOU PERVERT!"

"GET OUT OF HERE!"

Axe gawked at what he saw. Below deck, just underneath the floor of the girl's quarters was a large, brand new tub filled with bubbling hot water and his doctor and sharpshooter.

"What...the...hell...is this?"

Niri glared at him. Even though she was still in her bathing suit, she still didn't like someone coming in without permission.

"This is the hot tub Azu made for us," Kirsty explained, her arms around the tub's edges, "Watcha think?"

"First off," Axe pointed to his doctor, "How the hell can you be in there, you ate a Devil Fruit!?"

"It depends on how much water is in contact with a User, I guess,"

"Oh...well...," he turned to Niri, "You were supposed to keep watch for land, but you didn't so now, we've run aground on an island!"

Niri and Kirsty looked at one another, then at him, "So?"

Axe's eye twitched, "Oi oi oi...just get dressed. While we're here, we're gonna check this place out," he looked around, "Where's Pingu, I heard he was with you?"

Niri pointed behind him and Axe turned to see Pingu sitting on a small chair wearing shades and a pair of swimming trunks.

"...that bird is one of the strangest things I've ever seen," the captain muttered as he climbed back up to the deck.

"But, he's so cute!"

-----

"Alright, lessee...what are we gonna do?" Axe looked at the island for a while, drumming his fingers along the railing of the ship, "Doesn't look like there's any civilized life here...,"

"Okay, here's what we're gonna do, Herman, get the barbecue grill out, bring ice, some of the drinks and anything we can cook and you can help make a camp halfway between the jungle and the boat,"

"Got it!"

"Devon, go get some wood for the grill,"

"Screw you, I'm takin' a walk,"

"OI!"

Axe turned to see his crew walking around the ship, looking rather busy with different kind of loads in their arms.

"Uh...what's going on?"

Niri put her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow at him, "Well, since you kinda interrupted our relaxation time, and since we are at a beautiful island, why not make a vacation out of it?" she suggested with a shrug, "I figure it's the least we can get after what happened in Alabasta. Besides," she tapped the deck with her sandal, "Tomahawk could use a fixer-upper job, and Azu can take this time to do what he can,"

"Well, yeah, but-,"

"Good, it's decided!" Niri walked by, patting him on the shoulder, "ALRIGHT GUYS, BEACH PARTY!!!"

Axe sighed as his crew shouted in agreement and shook his head. Looking at the happy nakama, he couldn't help but grin, "I guess it's time we did have a vacation before setting sail again," he touched the large scar on his chest from Gaine's cleaver, "Time to rest and heal, I guess...,"

"Where's the rum?!"

"Azu, no drinking on the job!"

"Aw man, you suck Niri!"

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

"STOP BLOWING HOLES IN MY SHIP!"

Axe shook his head, "Ai yi yi yi yi yi...,"

Devon: The Kitetsu is a cursed blade, but is it one of the set? Does it belong with Zolo's cursed blade, or is it just a bad blade?

Kirsty: I don't know why you keep that sword. It's creeping us out and if it's cursed, just toss it!

Devon: Hm...

Kirsty: Devon, could you tell me more about yourself? I'd like to know more about you, please?

Devon: Fine...we got time to kill, and you already know about my secret. I'll tell ya what I can.
