Rain. It was pouring rain as the Straw hat crew approached the island, aboard the Thousand Sunny. Per the usual, Luffy was grinning at the prospect of exploring the island and along with Usopp and Chopper chanted, "Island. Island. Island. Island. Island…."

"Ugh, can't they shut up for two seconds?" Zoro complained before yawning.

Nami glanced at him, irritated, "You've been sleeping all day! Do you have any clue what they were doing earlier?"

"Hm?" Zoro looked at her and shrugged.

"Hmph," Nami crossed her arms and turned away from the swordsman, "Why don't you go help Sanji and Franky get ready to dock?"

"Eh, they'll be fine on their own," Zoro said as he crossed his arms behind his head and went back to sleep.

Nami glared at Zoro and was about to conk him over the head when Robin spoke, "Nami-san? Do you think it will continue to rain while we're here?"

Nami glanced out a window and looked at the gray sky. "I don't think so, there don't seem to be any storms on the way."

Robin stood up, "Thank you," and then left the room. Nami watched her leave and then shrugged.

Suddenly the sound of a violin joined in with the chanting that Luffy and the others were still doing and Nami groaned.

Sanji and Franky finished tying the ship to the dock and were heading back inside when Franky stopped and looked toward the dock. Sanji stopped and followed his gaze, looking into the gray haze that obscured the town beyond. The sound of footfalls reached them and they saw someone walking past the dock. The figure became clearer as it got closer to the Sunny and they started to see a man walking with his head tilted down, his hair hanging heavily as water dripped off of it as quickly as it was raining.

"Oi, oi," Sanji called out, "You're going to get sick walking around like that."

The person didn't respond or even make a motion that indicated he'd heard Sanji. Sanji and Franky looked at each other and shrugged, walking back inside to dry off.

Nami turned as they came in and saw the brooding look they had. "Hey you two, what happened out there?"

Sanji walked by as he headed to the kitchen, "Eh? Oh, nothing."

Franky sat down and said, "Just someone walking by the dock. He looked like he's been out in this rain for a while. We shouted at him but he just kept walking."

"Out in this rain?" Nami asked, "Is he trying to get sick?"

"That's what we were wondering," Sanji said as he started to boil some water.

The others had stopped their chanting and Chopper chimed in, "What? Someone's sick?"

Franky leaned back in his chair and look over to Chopper, "Nah, just someone outside walking in the rain."

Luffy leaned forward, "Oooooo! A Mystery guy!" With a laugh he jumped to his feet and ran out the door, followed closely by Usopp and Chopper. They reached the ship railing and leaned over before Luffy took in a deep breath and shouted, "Oi! Mystery guy!"

All three looked from side to side as the rain started to lessen and then Usopp pointed, "Over there!"

Luffy and Chopper looked and saw the retreating figure, becoming clearer as the rain continued to slow and then stopped altogether. "Hey! Mystery guy!" Luffy shouted again. He frowned when the man didn't answer but kept walking, and then drew a hand back and stretched it out, grabbing the collar of the man's shirt.

Everyone else walked out onto the deck as Luffy's hand grabbed the Mystery guy's collar, having heard the rain stop. Zoro saw Luffy stretching out his arm, "Oi, Luffy, what're you-"

He didn't get a chance to finish as Luffy's arm suddenly returned, sending the Mystery guy straight into Zoro.

"LUFFY!" Nami shouted as she hit him over the head.

"Who is that?" Robin asked looking at the form of the man who was sprawled over Zoro's legs.

Zoro pushed the man off and stood up, dusting himself off, "Dunno, ask Luffy."

"It's the Mystery guy!" Luffy said grinning before receiving another blow to the head from Nami.

Usopp stepped forward, "Uh, why isn't he moving?"

"The marimo pry knocked him out with his thick skull," Sanji said smirking.

"What?! I knocked him out? It was Luffy who dragged him here!" Zoro shouted.

Franky knealt down next to the man and turned him over, freezing and staring when he saw the mans face.

Nami frowned at Franky, "What is it, Franky?" Then she saw as Franky finished turning him over so everyone could see and covered her mouth with a hand.

He was covered in blood, cuts, and bruises from his face down to his waist. Chopper ran forward and stood next to the still figure, looking him over quickly.

"Luffy you idiot, look what you did!" Nami said, grabbing Luffy's collar and pointing to the man.

"Nami-san," Robin said, getting the navigators attention, "These wounds are more consistent with blades of some sort, right Chopper?"

The reindeer nodded slowly.

"This guy was walking?" Zoro said, disbelief evident on his face. "So what do we do with him?"

"Ah, well the rain has stopped," Brooke said, "Perhaps someone in town will know him?"

Luffy scratched his head, "Man, what a weird Mystery guy."

Zoro brought a hand up to his face and muttered, "What an idiot."
