I'm back! So many people wanted a sequel, and i am very happy to oblige. It just took some time to come up with an idea. Hope you all enjoy and don't forget to review.

It has been three months since I had my escapade with the Straw-hat crew, and life has returned to normal. I kept their note, as you know, as a memento and to never forget that adventure. I would go through my days, playing like Luffy, thinking about what Zoro was doing at that moment, and thinking about the Straw-hats reactions to various scenarios in school.

Nothing has happened in that small time, and I had moved on. Still watching One Piece episodes, watching One Piece episodes over again, and recognizing the fact that it will never happen again. Once in a lifetime opportunity and it was over, despite my protests. I tried to go into the world every night, trying to dream about them, but it never happened.

It was during a break, and I had stayed up all night like the stereotypical teenager would. I was almost regretting my decision for staying up, but I thought I could catch up on my sleep the next night. So when I fell into my bed around eight o'clock, without the pressing issue of waking early and having full intention to sleep in, I gratefully closed my eyes and fell asleep.

You know how you sleep and you wake up because you feel like you are falling? That's what jolted me awake. I opened my eyes and realized holy crap I really am falling!

There was nothing but a blanket of green below me in the form of an island. I couldn't scream because the wind took away all breath away. I could just watch in stunned, fearful silence as the forest beneath me flew toward me, flailing wildly. My emotions immediately prioritize in terror first, confusion second.

I am going to crash! I am totally going to die! Those were the only two thoughts that managed to form coherently in my mind. I closed my eyes, bracing myself for the pain that was sure to come when I splatted against the ground like a fruit. However, the pain never came.

I heard a slight popping noise and feel myself stop suddenly. I opened my eyes to see that I was now sitting in a bubble. Confusion wracked my mind as I asked quietly to myself.

"What on earth?"

I looked around from my position. Bubbles were everywhere, floating up toward the sky. I was now sinking slowly, at a controlled rate that allowed me the chance to look around at my surroundings. I felt like Glenda the Good Witch off of Wizard of Oz as I tried to figure out where I was. As more and more familiar sights greeted me, the more the smile grew on my face. Now I knew exactly where I was.

I was at Sabaody Archipelago.

I was back.

Finally, the bubble the size of a human hamster ball landed safely and popped around me. Foreseeing this, I readied myself and actually landed without making a complete fool of myself. Gazing around, I was trying to drink up everything around me. The groves of trees, the bubbles, and the people using the bubbles as transport were all things that made me smile. Somehow no one seemed to notice a teenage girl floating out of the sky in a bubble.

Now, I was here, but I needed to know why. The mysterious force that brought me back here must have done so for some reason, and I needed to find out what it was. There is no way it could be the Straw-hats this time. They should be safely in the New World by now, so I could be meeting with somebody else this time. I wonder who it is. Or maybe the mysterious force brought me back out of pity of me longing for it, but it wasn't worth it if my friends weren't here.

I start walking, admiring the shops and the different people on the street, and keeping an eye out for somebody I might know or recognize from the anime. I look at Sabaody Park, wishing I could go on the rides, but staying true to my mission. I have to find the person that I was supposed to come back for.

Then something catches my eye. I am in Grove One, so the auction house where Luffy decked that World Noble in the face is right in front of me. Seeing as that is one of my favorite punches in One Piece, I just had to go see it, as a true One Piece fan. I wonder if it is still destroyed.

Trying to look unsuspicious, I strolled inside. It looked exactly how it did before the Straw-hats showed up and destroyed it. However, if I was expecting a Straw-hat Museum then I was sorely disappointed.

People were crowded into the auction house like sardines, taking up the theatre-like seats, watching the show. I grit my teeth as I see the humans standing on the stage, slave rings circling their necks. They were practically oozing despair and misery, in contrast to the laughing joyous buyers packing the theatre.

"Come on, this lovely lady is perfect for all of your household needs. Cooking, cleaning, and she is strong enough to lift crates. Shall we start the bid at eight hundred beris?"

The auctioneer yells to the crowd, encouraging the little numbers on sticks to rise. The woman in question looks absolutely terrified.

I have always been a kind person, never once wishing something like slavery on anybody, even my worst enemy. Seeing this made me nauseas, but what was I supposed to do though? I wasn't a Straw-hat, or anybody with true strength to do anything important. I could only sit still and watch and pray that they don't have miserable lives. I tremble with anger as I glance around, seeing the people around me bidding enthusiastically, like it was a hobby. I mutter to myself.

"How could they subject people to this? Don't they understand the horrors of slavery?"

I suddenly became very wary as I realized something. There was an unusual amount of marines here. My eyes fell over their uniforms for the first time, biting my lips. Why are they here?

Then my eyes fell on the people that I probably hated more then anybody else in One Piece. The three celestial dragons that Luffy stood up against, Charloss, Roswald, and Shalulia, were all sitting in the box seats. I clenched my fists, digging my nails into my palm. The world nobles are people that I hate more then fear. I swear nothing on this earth could possibly keep me from ripping them a new one, even the consequences for attacking them.

I watch them sitting there all snobby and smile a little in satisfaction. On Charloss's face is a scar; it looks like a fist imprint. Hmm, I wonder where he could have gotten that. I laugh quietly to myself. Serves him right is all I have to say. To be honest, I am surprised he showed his face here again after his humiliating defeat by Luffy.

Is that why the marines are here? Because of Luffy's actions with the World Nobles they are now their personal bodyguards and are there to protect them? Maybe, but I really didn't care to stick around and find out.

I turn toward the door, not wanting to see anymore. Maybe I can go try to find Rayleigh. That would be pretty cool, talking to Gol D. Roger's first mate. Strike that, that would be awesome.

I was just about to set my foot outside when the auctioneers voice booms out again.

"And now, for the items you have been waiting for all."

Curiosity filled me, and even knowing that curiosity killed the cat, I just had to know what he was talking about. I leaned against the back wall, looking toward the stage. They had the strobe lights going, trying to improve their selection of slaves. I snorted under my breath, seeing right through their pathetic smoke and mirrors.

"The slave you have all wanted to buy, the infamous pirates that have fought back against the world government time and time again."

I cock my head to one side, thinking quietly. Who on earth could that be? I was starting to get a bad feeling about this, one that started in the pit of my stomach and curled my insides up like a tube of toothpaste. The auctioneer gestured to one side of the stage, where a figure was shrouded in shadow, and his next words made my blood freeze.

"Please welcome the infamous pirate captain, Straw-hat Luffy!"
