A/N: hey there everybody! Shadow here! I promise I'll get Brotherly Love moving along but I really really really wanted to write this because I've always thought it would be interesting. Without further ado, begin!
Prologue
The two figures moved through the darkness. They were beyond exhausted as they hurried through the streets. Their stomachs growled loudly, echoing in the night silence.
"It's been days since we've eaten," said one of them.
"I know, but we're almost there. We'll get something to eat and head out."
"What are we even doing here?" Asked the first.
"If I want to be the best shipwright in the world, I have to surpass the best." Said the second figure as he lead the way up the street. "And that person is, or at least was, Tom-sama. If I want to surpass him, I have to understand him first. To do that, I have to follow in his footsteps, starting from the very beginning." He paused for a moment. "You know, you don't have to be here. This is my dream, not yours."
His companion was already shaking his head. "Not a chance. We're brothers, so we have to stick together. Besides, I want to be the greatest swordsman in the world. Maybe there are strong swordsman out here?"
"In the East Blue? Not likely."
He was interrupted as marines suddenly swarmed out from the alleyways, surrounding them. Cursing they moved back to back.
"We can't fight," whispered the swordsman as his sickles slid out from where they were hidden. "We're seriously outnumbered and we're tired and hungry. It's suicide!"
The other said nothing as the marines moved inward.

The giant laughed heartily with his newfound friends. He hadn't meant to stop the pirate invasion, but fate was strange that way. Usopp laughed and went on and on about how he had found out about the treachery of Kaya's butler and stopped the pirate attack, with assistance of course.
The giant placed his twin chests on deck of the ship they had given him in thanks for his service.
"Are you sure you can't stay?" asked Kaya from the beach.
"I'm sorry, but I must be going." Replied the giant. "I'll leave the protection of the village in Usopp's capable hands, though!"
"I won't let you down!" Called the sniper.
They waved as the Going Merry sailed out of sight.

The man slid his three swords back into their sheaths. Yet another pirate crew taken down. "Excellent job, Mr. 1," called his partner.
"These guys weren't anything special, Ms. All-Sunday," he replied.
"Well it's good your done, because we just got our next job from the boss."
"Already? Fine then, let's go."
She only smirked before turning and following her partner.

"Captain! There is an island ahead!"
The man didn't reply as he simply continued to shuffle his cards. "Jaya..." he whispered. He suddenly stood. "Prepare to dock!"
Suddenly, straw strands extended out in front of him. He placed his cards on them and began to study the images. He looked puzzled for a moment before he nodded.
"This is where we shall wait!" His crew stared at him in confusion. "We will wait for another before we continue onward."

The boy sat in a chair in the office. In front of him sat a very tall man and an old geezer.
"Excellent job brat," said the geezer with a laugh. "Didn't think you'd be able to do it!"
"He's right," said the tall man. "You've been invaluable to us."
"Only doing my job, sir," replied the boy with a smile.
"Well, we've got another one for you," said the geezer, suddenly serious.
"When do I start?"

"Come on!" Said the girl, anger giving her energy. The boat dipped slightly as she moved around in agitation.
The man only chuckled. "Don't worry girly, we'll catch him."
"Ya! He's gonna pay for what he's done! Do you have any food?"
The man suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu

The man gave a puff on his cigar as he stared at the island in front of him. He watched as water sprayed down from the fountain in the center of the city.
"Father, shall we dock?" Inquired one of his men.
He grinned evilly. "Yes, and we'll take over all the crime in this town!"

The boy regarded the snow covered castle calmly. This would be his new home, and his new research lab. It would do nicely.
And there weren't any other doctors either. That meant no competition.
He smirked.

The boy from the Long-Arm tribe played his music as he moved through the graveyard. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the zombies watching him.
"Can I help you?" asked a fat man with weird makeup who stood in the road ahead.
The Long-Arm smiled. "Do you need a new security guard? Because the ones you have kinda suck." With that, he blew one last note and all the zombies exploded.
The fat man appraised him. "Follow me."

"Are you heading out, Luffy?" Asked Makino.
"Yep!" replied the boy in the boat. "I'm gonna make my pirate crew and become the Pirate King! I'm thinking I'm gonna have about ten people. Wait, with me that makes eleven!"
"I'm sure that whoever they are, they'll shine as bright as a supernova!" Said the woman happily. She paused as she watched the boy sail away after knocking out the King of the Coast. "You know, that has a nice ring to it. The Eleven Supernovas."
END
All right! For those of you who like that, more is on the way! By the way, for those of you who realized who they all are and got the Baroque Works thing, I've just moved all the officer agents down a notch, not gotten rid of them. As always, REVIEW! Also, I may accept OCs later for villains. If I do, I'll say so, so until then hold onto them.
