(A/N- Hello there! Welcome to my very first crossover! This takes place in One Piece right after they get into the Grand line, maybe just before Alabasta, and just about any time in POTC. Just to let you know, I'm currently writing a weekly One Piece ff, so I probably won't be able to update this a lot. Thanks for trying this out, though! Let's get started! I don't own One Piece or Pirates of the Caribbean.)

The Meeting

The waves were calm. The sky was dotted with round, perfect clouds floating in the light blue of the early morning. The ship's first mate, Joshamee Gibbs, gazed at it, trying to knock the sleepiness out of his eyes. The first of the crew were just starting to wake up, and the noise of their preparations for the day mixed into the lapping of the waves and the cries of the seagulls to make a comforting sound. But as usual, a certain captain decided to break the calm Caribbean scenery.

"WHERE THE BLOODY HELL HAS THE RUM GONE?"

Gibbs sighed and turned around to begin another average day of being a pirate on Jack Sparrow's ship. "You drank it all, remember?"

"What?" Jack's head popped up from below deck. "When?"

"Last night."

Jack paused for a moment. He got up on the deck and walked over to Gibbs. He stuck a pointed a finger in the air and said, "Ah. Now that you mention it..."

Gibbs cracked a smile. "We'll be heading to a port as soon as we can, but for now, you'll just have to wait."

Jack groaned and walked around the ship a bit. A buzz of conversation started to rise as the rest of the crew took their daily positions. By the time the sun was high in the sky, the deck was alive with pirates, attending to the sails and the rigging and whatnots. Gibbs opened the door to his captain's quarters. "Cap'n, we be heading near-" He paused as he saw Jack studying a map with Sneach, another crew member. Gibbs had never seen that particular map before. It was fairly old, tan and cracked, with islands drawn by an expert hand. He could clearly see that it was a treasure map.

"Ah Gibbs." Jack waved him over. "Sneach here just recently found this. Mary Reid's treasure map."

"Mary Reid?" asked Gibbs in astonishment. He had often heard stories of Mary Reid, the famous woman pirate. "She has a treasure?"

"Aye." said Sneach. Sneach was a strange sight to see on a pirate ship. He had orange spiky hair, a goofy smile, and was only in his early twenties. However, he had a strong body and was quick on his feet and good with a cutlass. He was a bit mischievous, and usually got into trouble at ports pick pocketing the locals. "I lifted-er, ah... bought it from a merchant in Saint Martin."

"And what makes this here particular map particularly interesting," Jack explained, "is that Miss Reid was sent to the gallows only around twenty years ago. That means that no not too many people have heard of or tried claiming the treasure yet."

"It should still be there then." Gibbs said, getting interested. He took a closer look at the map. The islands on the farthest sides of the map sounded familiar. They were supposed to be coming close to them any day.

"Alright! It's settled." Jack strode out of the captain's quarters so the rest of the crew could see him. "Turn the ship Northeast! 58 degrees starboard! We've got our sights on a hefty treasure, men!"

A cheer rose as men scrambled to tack. Jack walked to the helmsman to help him adjust the heading.

Some distance away, another, but much more different pirate ship was sailing the high seas.

Monkey D. Luffy sat on his favorite seat, at the head of The Going Merry. The other Strawhats were scanning the horizon trying to get an idea of where exactly they were. They recently encountered a huge storm, but this storm had been different. When it had ended, they found themselves in a whole new world, looking and speaking differently.

"I can't take this!" Luffy shouted, frustrated. "There's a big new sea to explore, can't we just have fun?"

Zoro looked at his captain, still trying to get used to his new voice. "We have to find an island first."

"Hmm..." Luffy gave up on trying to get their attention and snuck off towards the kitchen.

Zoro took a look around the ship. Everything looked so different. Perhaps they had stumbled upon another dimension or something. The crew's signature looks, such as Ussop's nose or Sanji's eyebrow, looked slightly off and awkward. Not to mention their voices were completely different, along with being able to speak a whole different language. Suddenly a crash sounded and Luffy was thrown out of the kitchen. He sighed and went off to go find someone else to bug.

Back on The Black Pearl, Jack was alerted by a sudden shout.

"Captain! Ship sighted off the port side!"

Jack ran up to the railing of the ship, followed closely by Gibbs. Jack extended his spyglass and focused on the flag.

"What do you see?"

Jack made a strange face. "I'm not sure..." He could see people running around on deck, apparently chasing someone. They all wore bright colors. Their ship was a merry looking thing, with bright sails and a strange figure head. A flag with a skull wearing a straw hat waved above the ship, the sail also painted with the symbol.

"Should we ready the canons?" Someone called.

"No, no." Jack held up a hand. "Not yet."

Luffy stopped running as he realized a bigger ship was almost upon them. His abrupt halt caused Ussop to smash into him.

"What is it...?"

Nami came down to see what all the ruckus was about. "What's your problem? Can't you two... just..."

They all stared at the black ship that had seemingly come out of no where.

"Hello there!" A friendly voice called out. "I don't suppose any of you fellows have any rum?"

(A/N- That was shorter than I thought it would be. Ah, well. Thanks for trying it out! Someones probably gonna ding me for spelling Reid wrong, but I've seen it spelled that way plenty of times before, and I know what the other spellings are. Anyways, if enough people subscribe and/or comment, I'll try to type up the next chapter! Thanks for reading! Happy Holidays~!)
