Disclaimer: This story takes place post timeskip and in this story, rather than go to Fishman Island, the Straw Hat Pirates end up somewhere else…

"We're almost here" Nami proclaims.

Luffy jumps in the air.

"Finally, Fishman Island here we come!" Luffy shouts, enthusiastically.

"Yeah" Usopp and Chopper cheer.

"Okay, we're here."

"Woohoo. We're on Fishman Island. We're on Fishman Island" Luffy, Usopp and Chopper chant together while dancing.

"Wait a minute" Nami adds. "This isn't Fishman Island."

The Thousand Sunny is underwater, surrounded by a bubble, and behind it are broken runes floating around them.

"Where are we?" Franky asks, walking next to Nami.

"I don't know" says Nami, clearly puzzled.

"Well if Nami, the best navigator on the Thousand Sunny doesn't know where we are, then we're definitely lost" Usopp whispers to Chopper and Luffy.

"We're gonna die" Chopper cries.

Chopper, Usopp, and Luffy start crying.

"Stop crying you bunch of morons" Sanji commanded, holding a tray with two drinks held on it. "We're not going to die."

Sanji rushes over to Nami, his eyes turned into two, pink hearts.

"With Nami-Swan as our navigator, where can we go wrong?"

"Sanji, what's that" Nami questioned.

"Oh this, would be my new smoothie" Sanji says, referencing the drinks on his tray. "I call it the North Blueberry-"

"Not that" Nami interjects. "Look."

Nami holds her hand outward, clearly pointing at something. Sanji looks at what Nami is pointing at.

"Not what" Franky corrects. "Who?"

Floating under water is an unconscious, male, african american teenager with dreadlocks. He is wearing a red t-shirt and black pants.

"Should he help him?" Franky asks.

"I don't know" Sanji answers. "Luffy, what should we do?!"

Luffy's arm is already stretched outward, reaching for the teenager, much to Sanji, Nami, and Franky surprise.

"Ahhhh" Luffy groans as he stretches his hand out to the black boy.

"The sea water is weakening him" Usopp points out. "We have to stop him."

"He'll be fine" Sanji replies. "And even if we tried to stop him, he wouldn't let us. You've been on his crew you're more than 2 years, you should know this. Nothing stops Monkey D. Luffy."

Luffy wraps his arm around the teenager before slowly pulling him towards the Thousand Sunny. Luffy, however, is unable to pull the boy through the bubble the first time. Luffy pulls harder the second time, and after a few moments, is able to pull the boy through, sending him flying backward.

The boy falls onto the floor. Sanji, Franky, and Nami immediately run over to his aid.

"Chopper, get over here" Sanji demands.

Chopper rushes to the scene. After he spends a couple moments studying the boy, he comes to a final verdict.

"He's alive" Chopper concludes. "Unconscious, but alive."

Unexpectedly, the teenager coughs, water spitting out of his mouth.

"Hello?" Chopper asks. "Mister… are you okay"

Just as Choper reaches out to touch his cheek, the boy jolts upward, knocking back Sanji, Nami, Franky, and Chopper.

"Where am I?!" he demands. "Tell me!"

"Hold on a minute. You need to calm down." Sanji says,trying to reason with him "This is our captain."

"Hi" Luffy interrupts.

Sanji glares at Luffy before continuing.

"We found you floating in the middle of nowhere, so we decided to help you. This is the man who saved you, so I think you owe him a thank you."

"I owe you nothing!"

The boy grabs water bearers held on his back, holds them up which in turn pulls in water from outside the bubble, and then blast the water at Luffy and Sanji.

In the throne room, a shadowed figure holding a staff walks over to another shadowed figure, sitting on a throne."

"It's done."

"Perfect" the second figure says, smiling which reveals his long and sharp teeth.
