Hey! So I know I have a nasty habit of not finishing things even though I have them all planed out so I'm trying to break that with this so please RxR and support! This takes place in the anime and not the manga since the rainbow mist arc isn't in the manga, just FYI. I didn't do much research on this because I watched it like last month and I'm lazy so I hope I got everything right, but if I didn't then please let me know!

Disclaimer: Though its really sad i don't actually own one piece... Though it wouldn't be as good as it is if I did, it would still be nice to have Luffy all to myself :3

After their departure from Rainbow Mist Island and their memorable farewell to the inhabitants they make their way to the vast waters of grand line to continue their eventful adventure towards their unknown at the time destination of Jaya Island.

It was 7:38PM and the lively Mugiwara pirates had just finishing their early dinner and are partying like they usually so on their small secluded ship. Now their diner was only early because Luffy managed to catch a medium sized sea monster and demanded Sanji cook it right away because he was starving. With scrap cleaned empty dishes spread and stacked along the small picnic table the crew laughed and sang until Luffy pulled out a small hand held sized treasure chest from his usual and mysterious storage place in his shorts and held it up for everyone to see announcing what it was.

"Look everyone! That Pumpkin Pirate kid, Rapanui gave this to me when we were looking for you guys in the mist place!" The chest was made of dark stained wood with top quality gold edges and an assortment of rainbow jewels plastered over the gold. The latch was a bit discolored and had an old recently broken pad lock dangling from it.

Nami's beli eyes lit up as she examined the rare jewels resting in Luffy's swaying hand, "Open it up Luffy! Let's see what kind of treasure is inside that high quality chest!"

"It's a Mystery box," Luffy as a matter of-factly stated as if everyone should have already know. Just as Nami was going to voice everyone's confusion Luffy continued with his devious teeth baring grin, "He said that if you're a young child then it won't work, but the adults said it tastes really good!" With that Luffy gently yet forcefully opened the small delicate looking chest and proudly displayed the contents to his newly dumbfounded crew.

"Luffy… Are those, Gobstoppers?" Robin calmly yet hesitantly pointed out to her ecstatic captain.

"Yup! He said we all have to eat them together once we get on our ship! So everyone has to take one!" Luffy demanded of his half wary, half excited crew. Chopper jumped at the offer and Usopp was next to follow though Luffy already plopped one in his mouth before the other two had started to move. He then proceeded to shove the abused chest in Zoro's face until he, in one swift motion plucked one off of the top and flicked it into his mouth. Wide eyed, he began to suck on it, 'This is actually really good!' he thought as his outward expression returned to his normal scary face. Sanji, after seeing Zoro's millisecond expression change, hesitantly took one from the box that was now shoved in his face, licked it, and then eagerly plopped it into his mouth. After seeing Nami and Robin protesting hold their quarter sized rainbow orbs in their delicate fingers examining them Sanji felt the need to encourage them to try it, "Nami-san, Robin-chan, you have to try these, chefs recommendations!" With Sanji saying that it must have been some fricken awesome candy they thought as they simultaneously tossed the candies into their mouths.

"Oh my god! This is amazing Luffy!" Nami exclaimed staring wide eyed at their laughing captain.

"Shishishi! Of course it is! And they are supposed to last for 4 hours! Well they don't, but they do!" Luffy tried to explain but miserably failed since he didn't even understand what Rapanui meant when he explained it.

Luffy tried to remember their conversation, "Oooo! Are you really giving this to me? It looks expensive." Luffy asked his young travel companion.

"Yea! There is a mysterious candy inside that tastes nasty to us kids, but the adults love it so we stole it from them. Since it's nasty though we're never gonna eat them so you can have them! They called it 'The Mystery Box', so inside it are 'Mystery Candies'" Rapanui explained to Luffy as he examined his new treasure.

"Oh, that makes sense!" Luffy said as he pulled one out to eat.

"Don't!" The smaller pirate exclaimed as he pulled Luffy's hand from his mouth, "You can only eat them in a group! That's how the others did it."

"Hmmm…" Luffy contemplated eating it anyways and decided against it, putting the rainbow orb back and closing the box, "Okay. I'll wait until we find everyone then we can all eat them!"

"Okay, good. Let me tell you something, since you're dumb I don't think you will understand but I'll tell you anyways. These candies are called 'Mystery Candies' because they hold a mysterious power. The candies themselves only last for 10 minutes or so, but the mysterious effects they have on the person eating them last for 4 more hours after eating them. And the more you eat at once, the more the effects intensify as the four hours pass, so be careful."

"... So it's a mystery candy!" Luffy restated as that was the only thing he got from the whole conversation.

On the ship everyone passed off Luffy's nonsensical explanation of the timing as nothing and plopped a few more in their mouths wanting to intensify that unique and magnificent flavor. With the box half emptied Luffy closed to to save for later. The gobstoppers everyone already had though disintegrated in a normal time laps of about 10 minutes and everyone when on with their night like usual until about a half an hour later when everyone started acting strangely.

In the kitchen doing the nights dishes, the humming Sanji dropped the plate he was holding and started swinging his cig around like he was trying to hit something with it, "Get out of my kitchen you little bastard!" He threatened the air surrounding him when he suddenly heard Usopp yelling for him, "Sanji! Come here quick! Wake up Chopper!"

Usopp and Chopper were playing cards at the table as Sanji was washing the dishes. In the middle of their game chopper started to feel unreasonably drowsy. Usopp waved his hand in Choppers face trying to get his attention, but the little reindeer was already out cold. Thinking nothing of it Usopp rises to bring Chopper to his room when he suddenly collapsed. Confused Usopp, now with his back on the floor propped himself up on his elbows. He couldn't feel his legs anymore, freaking out he called Sanji who was doing the dishes behind them, "Sanji! Come here quick! Wake up Chopper!"

Sanji turned to the long nosed boy and saw an orb of light hovering around Usopp that looked exactly like the one he was just swatting at. Rushing towards Usopp with his 'sword' in hand he exclaims his arrival, "Don't worry Usopp! I'll get the lil bastard for you!" As he lunges in front of the ball of light it hovers past his face and he hears a small high pitched giggle. Upon a second look he sees that it was a fairy he has been swatting at this whole time, a tiny, beautiful, radiant fairy hovering in front of his nose. Enchanted by its beauty he kneels to greet his little visitor, "Hello Yousei-chan. It is an honor to meet you." The fairy giggles and listens to him compliment her.

Usopp still propped up on his elbows stares at the questionable sight in front of him. Sanji is facing sideways kneeling, talking to someone… but no ones there…? 'What is he doing? It's like he's hallucinating or something… And why are my legs numb!? I can't move them at all… What the hell is going on!? Is this from those candies!?' Usopp thought as he watched Sanji dancing quite well beside him.

After dinner the two girls went down to their room and chatted a little before Nami went to take a shower and Robin laid on the bed with a new documentary held in front of her, a slight smile pursed on her lips. After flipping to the next page she sat up to take her jacket and socks off, it was way to hot for all that. Though it was kind of weird since it was night on the ocean, but Robin just passed it off as the heat from Nami's shower even though she just shut the water off it still lingered. That is until it got unbearably hot and Robin was starting to sweat. She started for the stairs when she heard a screech followed by a thud in the bathroom and Nami sobbing.

"Oowww… sniff, that really hu-rt! Sniff." Nami sat on the bathroom floor, one hand on her head and the other on her elbow sobbing when she heard a knock on the door. "Nami? Are you alright?"

"Rob-hic-binnn!" Nami dragged out Robins name in a needy way encouraging her to heck on the injured girl. When she opened the door, to her surprise sitting on the floor next to the shower was Nami, flushed cheeks and dazed eyes with clear liquid poured from them, but she wasn't sure if it was from the shower or if she was crying. What she did know though was that the heat and humidity in there was not helping her at all. She started getting woozy from the blood rushing to her head and stumbled out of the room and slid down the wall to the floor with her eyes closed, slowly inhaled, and "oof!" the soaking wet Nami was clinging onto the overheated Robin.

"Hic. Why did you just leave me like that!? Sniff. I don't wanna be alone! Whhahh!" Nami yelled a little to close to Robin's ear. 'What is going on? This is unusual, she sounds like she's genuinely drunk though I've only seen it once before… It has to be from those Mystery Candies.' Robin thought as she patted the young girls head.

While all of this is going on Luffy is looking for movement out at sea while sitting on Merry's head. Zoro is under Luffy leaning against the rail, eyes closed and relaxed. Then without opening his eyes Zoro can sense Luffy staring at him, with a dragged out sigh he opens his eyes to see Luffy hanging over the back of his special seat, head hanging upside down, and hat in Zoro's lap. Luffy stares at Zoro, who is trying to hide his smile with irritation, for a minute before starting.

"Hey! Zoro? Zoro? Hey Zoro!? Zoro, Zoro, Zoro, Zoro, Zor-"

"What Luffy!?" Zoro asked/yelled agitatedly.

"Nothing really, you don't have to yell." Luffy raised an eye brow as he calmly explained. Zoro's on the other hand twitched with irritation as Luffy continued.

"So anyways Zoro, do you know why? Because I don't know why, so I thought I would ask if you knew why. So do you know why?"

"Why what Luffy?" This litle lovable brat was making Zoro's body temperature rise with irritation. The more he spoke the more bothered he got, but it was strange because he started to loose control of his breathing, and his perception started to fade as his senses heightened.

"Why I can't stop talking? I just want to talk, talk, talk, talk, even though I don't wanna talk and there is nothing to say. I keep saying things. Do you know why? Cause I don't know why so do you know why?"

Luffy barely paused for Zoro to answer, "Huff, I don-n't know why, huff, Luffy." Zoro barely managed. The smaller boy's hair brushing against his face in the wind sent shivers down his spine until they reached his throbbing length. 'The hell is this!? Why the fuck am I all hot and bothered!? Is it those fucking candies? That would probably explain why Luffy's extra annoying right now.'
