So my first fanfic on this account. Not my first in total, it's actually my 4th out of all. But anyways it's my first fic about OP/

Please don't hurt me. And now let's begin!

Paty was probably the happiest person on earth. Well that may seem exaggerated, but still. It's true.

She had her first mate already, and a shipwright too! It's not allot but still allot, ah! She was just to happy!

"So Paty what are we going to do now?" Lian asked. Paty looked at her colorful and bright first mate, "I dunno, maybe we should get another shipwright to help along with Ray... or we could find a navigator!" she said.

"An alligator?" Ray asked while walking towards them. Paty and Lian laughed.

"No an navigator, we'll need one for the journey," Paty answered" Or else we end up dead in a storm."

"I knew what you said, I was just trying to tease you somehow capt'n." Ray mumbled.

"So.." Lian continued "We find a navigator huh?" Everyone nodded in agreement.

"I'll look in the western area, Lian you look at the northern, and finally Ray you go to the eastern." Paty ordered " Comprende?"

Sara walked around aimlessly, she only came here for some relaxation. Sure they did have good food, good hotels in Water 7. She had to admit, being lazy sometimes isn't all that fun if you just came her by yourself.

She jumped when she felt something almost glare at her. It was a girl who was around her height that had shoulder length brown hair and a red checkered shirt that was tied. She smiled and looked at her wrist where she had her logpose.

"Do you happen to be a navigator per' chance?" she asked.

Sara nodded sheepishly.

The girl looked at her with anticipation. " Can you join my crew?" she asked " I need a navigator in my crew!"

Sara looked at the girl with mixed emotions. Had Oda listened to her while she was walking? Is this the chance she was waiting for? Should she continue? She was so excited yet it was a complete stranger, maybe she could get to know them better... oh well, here goes nothing.

"I'd love to join" Sara said with glee " My names Sara, what's yours?"

Paty was so happy, she was practically having Lady Luck on her side. " Mine is Paty, I'll be your captain and nakama from now on!"

"Oi, don't get to ahead of yourself 'captain'." the new navigator said.

"Y-yeah, sorry it happens allot..." Paty said half nervously. "...But come on, you'll have to meet the rest of the gang!" she said with her excitement and joy back.

Sara nodded, she was going to have a new adventure ahead of her with some strangers. Strangers that were going to be her nakama; her family...

"Guys I want you to meet our newest crew member and navigator... Sara!" Paty shouted.

Lian and Ray looked at the girl with their expectations on what they thought she might be like.

Lian was staring at her long red hair, while Ray was noticing her pink stockings rather curiously, maybe a little too curious.

"Oi." Lian said flicking her blonde locks rather dramatically.

Ray couldn't help but sweatdrop, he was the only male so far and it really had an impact on him. Why didn't some of them understand the situation he was currently in?

Paty laughed at her crew. She was glad she had her nakama here with her, she didn't really feel so lonely as much as she did before Franky left.

Her smile started to vanish as she started to get much more serious thoughts pouring in.

When Lian had told her the Strawhat's were said to be dead, she felt awful rather.

She knew her big brother was stronger than that to get killed as quickly as that... but she still couldn't shake off this feeling rather easily.

"Hey Paty, don't worry" Her first mate said " He's okay, I'm sure of it."

" I hope so Lian... I hope so" she replied as she looked at the now setting sun.

"Hey Captain!" Ray shouted nearly scaring Paty to the point where she was going to jump out the window in shock.

" We need a name don't we?" he asked her.

"Oh yeah..." Paty mumbled her fist clenched up, she was clearly in a state of heavy thinking.

"How about the Sweet Candy Pirates?" Lian suggested. Ray laughed at her suggestion."Nah, that makes us seem like pansies... how about Mighty Warriors?" Sara laughed at their suggestions. "How about you Captain?" she asked.

"Pantless Pirates" she whispered.

Everyone in the room looked at her confused. "What?" Lian asked.

"We are now the Pantless Pirates." She said proudly this time.

"I like that name" Sara said. " Us too" Lian and Ray replied.

"Okay then! From now on we are the brave and powerful Pantless Pirates!" Paty exclaimed.

"YEAH!" They all shouted.

"Okay so let me explain" Ray said " Since there's only four of us so far there's no point in a giant boat."

The harsh sunshine kept getting in their eyes. Perfect weather for a voyages, but rather annoying for their precious eyes.

"So we're going to use this boat." Ray said pointing to a casual sized boat.

Paty looked at it. It was sure smaller than the Sunny, but a little bit smaller than the Merry too.

"It seems like a properly sized boat for four people" Paty said "But what are you going to do if we get more people than expected?"

"Let's just hope we get another shipwright before that happens..." he said.

" Hopefully when we go to the next island our next member should be a shipwright who can help you." Paty replied.

"Yeah... anyways, I've stocked up the ship with a weeks worth of food and supplies, the ship can handle up to 5 people" He said "By then we should find a another shipwright around that area..."

Sara came running towards them " Luckily, the logpose reseted not to long and it should take us to the next island as quick as possible."

"That's good" Paty answered " Alright guys let's get this party started!"

"Get ready for full-sail guys! We're going to get outta here slowly but still quick!" Sara shouted "Prepare to hoist sail!"

Paty extended her arms and smelled the salty air. She remembered her experiences back then and had a smile. The waves gently lapped against the rocking boat.

She felt sleepy, it was almost as if she was being rocked in a crib.

"Captain we're approaching land." Sara said.

"Yosh, get ready guys we're going to land!" Paty shouted. Her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"I wonder who else will join us next..." she asked herself.
