Chapter 1; Resurfacing On the Isle of Vagabons

(Alright you guys, it is reboot time! And let me thank you for waiting so patiently for it, but I got carried away in typing a bunch of rough drafts for this story and sort of forgot to actually upload. Please review, oh loyal fans, and lemme know what I should change or tweek. Enjoy!)

Their was a vicous storm overhead, quite overly dramatic if you asked the Straw Hat Crew. They had just resurfaced from a very messy fiasco on Fishman Island and they had just about had enough of storms and other dangers.

"I have had just about enough of all this bad weather!" Luffy shouted. The young captain was being tossed around on the ship like an old rag doll. Nami, the ships navigator was barking orders to the rest of the crew. She was very frustrated at this point; it seemed every other order would be muffled by the loud thunder dozens of miles above them. Apparently, the storm clouds there can get pretty low.

"Robin, Chopper, Franky, get this thing under control!" She shouted, drenched from the heavy rain. Robin, the ships historian was quite annoyed herself.

"I'm trying...But all this motion isn't doing well and not to mention this loud..." Another thunder boom blotted out her last words.

"Nami, why don't you try and disperse the cloud?" Zoro said.

"I have tried, but for some reason my Clima-Tact won't work on it!" She yelled. Chopper was in Heavy Boost mode and the giant, musular, ring necked reindeer grabbed ahold of the ships teering wheel and tried to keep it steady. Wind levels picked up, and blew the sails in the opposite intended direction.

"Shit! These winds will end up smashing this ship against a rock somewhere!" Nami squealed. Ussop ran up from the lower decks, the living skeleton known as Brooke was following right behind him.

"This storm still isn't over?"

"You still feel the ship rocking don't you?" Nami said. A giant wave, twice the size of the Thousand Sunny ship was about to sweep the entire crew off the poop deck.

"Please let something strange and miraculous happen!" Sanji said, clasping his hands tightly; but nothing. The wave swept the entire crew off the ship. They feel into the midnight blue ocean, nearly sightless, surrounded by dark, murky water and possibly even dangerous sea creatures; the later wasn't really a problem for this crew though. The crew resurfaced and struggled to stay afloat, Zor had the most trouble seeing as how he had Luffy, Robin, & Franky on his back.

"Who the hell to you to remove your naval systems Franky?" Zoro complained.

"Wait, we'res Brooke and Chopper?" Ussop wondered. A frantic Nami looked around, the occasional mini wave smacking her in the face. Eventually, Sanji resurfaced with both Brooke and Chopper in both of his arms.

"They started sinking like rocks." Sanji said. Nami was yelling something, but more thundered blocked out her words. A frustrated growl escaped her lips and she began cursing wildly. Mid-rant a sudden current began pulling the crew backwards. A few seconds later they were being pulled upward by that same current: they were caught up in a second giant wave.

"AHHHHH!"

"WE'RE GOING TO DIE!"

"*BARF*" the crew was in hysterics, as they should be. They've just been attacked by a giant wave. But the thing is, the wave never crashed back into the water. After the second wave formed, it just kept carrying them onward, southwest of the Sunny. It took so long, the crew was getting bored riding that wave all day.

"Gosh. This sucks." Zoro said, very stressed out. He'd been carrying 3 people, which felt like having 5 people and a goat, considering Frankies bulk. But by this time, the wave had carryed them into the eye of the storm. But this Eye was very big. The largest every seen by their talented navigator Nami to be excact, and she pulled out a pocket pad and pen and began recording the events. The Sun's ray's were shining down on the very industrial looking island ahead of them.

"Wow, that place looks very modern. I'm glad this wave took us here, maybe we can find some transportation back to our ship." Luffy said, still groggy from his dip in the ocean.

"Back into the storm Luffy?" Sanji questioned. Everyone looked over at him.

"Yes. We need to get my ship back, it's our home."

"Alright kid, don't go getting all noble on me. We'll find a way back to her."

"We have to, unless you want me to die!" Franky wined.

"I can't wait to drop you off..." Zoro grumbled.

"I wonder what this island has here?"

"I wonder why I could use my Clima-Tact on the coulds back th- what the?" The wave began to sink back into the ocean, about a mile off the coast of the new island.

"NO! THE WAVE IS SINKING! BUT ISN"T WATER SUPPOSED TO BE A GOOD SWIMMER?"

"Are you truely that dense!?" Nami said, pulling out her Clima-Tact, her notepad had to take a backseat in her pocket.

"Cloud Tempo- Milky Matress!" she wagged and waved her clima-tact shapping a large clump of fluffy white cloud beneath them all.

"What is that supposed to do?" Luffy shouted! They smacked right into the cloud and were momentarily swallowed by it: but the next moment bounced lightly on the surface.

"Hahahahah! That is the power of my Clima-Tact!" Nami gloated a little more about it, then began talking about money and how much she would make off of her weapon's use.

"Nami, how about we set sail for land first, then we can hear you gloat, ehh?" Zoro said. Sanji snapped on him in her defence.

"Are you just upset that you don't have the brains or grace to wield a weapon suce as that, like my dear sweet Nami?!"

"Shitty cook!" Zoro snapped.

"Shittier Samurai!" Sanji retorted.

"That's not a real word...is it?" Chopper wondered out loud.

"Shut up and paddle, you two!" Nami said, taking her staff and stroking the water. With a few more angry faces and glares, Zoro and Sanji complied, as did Franky. The fruit users just sat aside, watching them row. About an hour later, they docked at a rather filthy looking beach. The sand even looked filthy, it was an unhealthy black color. The air was thick with smog and it smelled like poison and other unpleasent smells...maybe a little shit mixed in for some bad measure...

"It smells like dead fish and shit here." Sanji grumbled. A dead fish floated by on a light current on the water.

"See?" He said.

"Well, we could blame the citizens..." Zoro began.

"Or it could be all of our breaths...you know, because of Sanji's shit-flavored soup we had earlier today."

"You better watch your mouth, Moss-Head."

"Wonderful combac-"

"Guys' shush!" Nami screamed. Everyone stopped to look at her and she pointed at a rather dissapointed looking Luffy.

"What's wrong Luffy?"

"The Sunny is still outhere..."Luffy moped.

"Yohoho the Sunny will die, Yohoho..." Robin sang, much to Brooke's chargrin.

"HEY! Those are my lyrics...as payment, I demand to see your entire panty collection." Brooke said. Nami smakced him with her pole.

"Don't say that!" Nami said.

"And stop singing those mellancholy songs!" Zoro yelled.

"Besides...there must be a ship here. Like we planed earlier, we can get a temporary ship from here, and go out there and get our Sunny back!" Ussop rallied, but to no avail.

"If our super-powered ship could'nt make it, what makes you think that anyship here can?" Nami whispered to him, so Luffy couldn't here.

"Look, let's just check this place out, then we can make a plan based on resources." Robin suggested.

"Sounds good to me." Luffy said, a little more cheerful than a few moments ago. They walked up the trashed and rotten board walk and looked at a ragged sign: WELCO 2 THA TOXO ISLAND, HOOME TWO THEH VAGAHYBOUNDS.

"...Modern huh? They can't even spell..."Luffy moped.
