Summary- During the Straw Hats voyage in the New World, strange things have been happening on the Thousand Sunny. Things have gone missing or are being chewed on, and it appears that there's not one, but TWO Luffys on the ship, and one of them seems to have grown a tail! It turns out that the Straw Hats have a little stowaway: Zorua! Zorua's been lost for quite a while, and Luffy had promised him that he'd take him back to his home in Lostlorn Island and reunite him with his mother. However, there are two corrupt Marines, Vice-Admiral Moss and his younger brother, Captain Knuckle, who are after Zorua for their own gain.

Chapter 1

Another day of sailing for the Thousand Sunny, home to the Straw Hat Pirates, in the New World. The sea was calm today, at least for the moment, and the weather seemed to be great, today, as well.

The crew had just finished eating breakfast this morning, and Nami, the ship's navigator, was preparing to change into a new outfit, but when she got to the women's quarters, she was in for quite a surprise.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SHOES?"

Now, the Straw Hats knew all too well that when Nami yells at the top of her lungs, it's a signal that they should try and avoid her until she cools down, which takes about a couple of hours.

Nami came storming out of the women's quarters, carrying a pair of her favorite red high-heel shoes, which were riddled with teeth marks and saturated in saliva. She then kicked the door to the men's quarters open and looked to the corner. There, she saw her captain's dog, Blizzard, asleep.

"Blizzard!" Nami shouted.

Blizzard immediately jolted awake, and upon seeing Nami's angry visage, he just as soon cowered.

"Blizzard?" Nami questioned before she showed the wolf-dog her ruined shoes. "Did you do this?"

Blizzard looked up at Nami, then pointed at himself, questioningly, as if to say, "Me?"

"Yes, Blizzard," Nami said.

Blizzard shook his head "no".

"Oh, don't you lie to me, mister!" Nami said. "Who else has sharp teeth like yours? Honestly, I don't know why Luffy convinced me into letting him keep you! You know what? As punishment, no peanut butter for a week!"

Blizzard looked at Nami in disbelief, but he knew he had no say in the matter. He watched as the angry navigator left the room, leaving poor Blizzard to wonder what he did wrong.

This hasn't really been the first time that this has happened. Oddly enough, things on the ship appeared to be getting gnawed or chewed, like Zoro's dumbbells, Franky's…unmentionables, Blizzard's food bowls, and Nami's shoes, and for once, Blizzard was not the one doing the chewing.

I have this funny feeling that I've been framed, Blizzard thought, or my name is Balto…and it's not.

Later that day, Usopp was down in his Usopp Factory, tinkering as usual. He was making some armor for Blizzard and Chopper, just in case they ran into a really tough enemy.

"Okay," said Usopp. "Now I just have to hammer out these dents."

He reached into his tool box, but he couldn't seem to find his hammer, anywhere.

"The hell?" the sniper questioned before he began to search all over the room. "Where is it? Where's my hammer?"

With no success in finding it in the weapons room, Usopp decided to look somewhere on the upper deck.

As he got through the hatch, he was soon greeted by Luffy.

"Oh, hey, Luffy!" said Usopp. "Hey, have you seen my hammer?"

Luffy shook his head no.

"Oh," said Usopp. "Well, if you find it, bring it to me, will ya? I'm working on making some armor for Chopper and Blizzard."

Luffy nodded his head, vigorously.

With that, Usopp went back down below deck.

This is also isn't the first time this has happened. Things like Chopper's medical bag, Robin's glasses, Brook's beloved violin, and now Usopp's hammer were going missing, nowadays, in spite of everyone's best efforts to watch their things.

Sanji was in the kitchen, making snacks for the crew: fruit and honey tarts. As always, he was going to give the most to the girls while the guys got at least one or two.

At that moment, Luffy walked in.

"Oh, hey, Luffy," said Sanji, who held out a fruit tart to him, knowing that he must've smelled them and came to get one. "Here, but you only get one."

Luffy looked up at Sanji and tilted his head, as if he were confused.

"Look, Luffy, I'm offering you food," said Sanji, who was starting get a bit irritated. "Either take the tart or don't and get out."

Luffy looked to the tart in the cook's hand, and decided to take it. He gave Sanji a grateful smile before he turned to leave with the treat in hand.

However, as he was leaving, Sanji spotted what appeared to be…a slate gray, bushy tail!

"What in the world?" Sanji questioned. "Since when did Luffy grow a tail?" He then shook his head. "I must be imagining things. As soon as I see Nami and Robin's smiling faces, everything will be fine."

"Hey, Sanji."

Sanji cringed, and then turned to see…Luffy, who was wearing a big smile.

"Luffy?" a bewildered Sanji asked. "Weren't you just in here?"

"No," said Luffy.

"Yes, you were," said Sanji. "You just came in here and I gave you a strawberry tart so you'd leave!"

"No, you didn't," said Luffy. "I just got in here. Can I have a tart?"

"No!" Sanji said. "I just gave you one! Now get outta here!"

"But I want a tart~!" Luffy whined.

GRRRUUUUMMBLE! His stomach growled.

"See?" the captain asked. "My tummy's grumbling!"

"You'll just have to wait till lunch!" Sanji snapped.

Luffy whimpered like a kicked puppy.

"But I'm hungry~!" he whined.

"Too bad!" Sanji snapped.

"What's going on in here?"

Luffy turned to see Nami entering.

"Oh, hello, Nami, dear!" Sanji greeted, lovingly.

"Nami, Sanji won't let me have a fruit tart!" Luffy whined to the navigator. "Make him gimme one!"

"Oh?" Nami muttered. "But…I just saw you outside, eating one."

"But I just got here~!" Luffy whined, preparing to throw a big childish tantrum. "I want a fruit tart and I won't leave till I get one!"

"Okay, okay!" Nami said. "Sanji, please give Luffy a fruit tart so he can stop whining."

"Yes, Nami~!" Sanji replied, twirling around before he handed Luffy a tart.

"Remember, Luffy," Nami said. "You only get one or two! No more! You know how you make your stomach upset if you eat too many."

"Yes, Nami," Luffy said before he took the tart. "Thanks, Sanji."

With that, Luffy left the kitchen, leaving Nami and Sanji rather bewildered.

These days, it was like Luffy was in two places at one time, and it made the rest of the Straw Hats confused, not to mention…somewhat concerned.

"Sanji?" Nami asked.

"Yes, Nami?" Sanji asked.

"Did you notice that something strange has been going on, lately?"

"You mean like how things seemed to be disappearing around the ship, like Usopp's hammer, Chopper's backpack, Brook's violin, and Robin's glasses?"

"Yeah, and how some things look like they've been chewed on, like Zoro's clothes, Franky's…unmentionables, Blizzard's food bowls, and my shoes, and Blizzard wasn't the one who was chewing on them, for once?"

"And the fact that Luffy seems to be in two places at once, like there's two of them?"

"Yeah…and…did you notice that he seemed to grow this gray, bushy tail?"

Sanji nodded.

"I think Luffy might be hiding something," said Nami.

"But what?" Sanji asked.

"That's what we're gonna find out," Nami answered. "Go and get everyone except Luffy together."

Outside, Luffy was sitting on the rail, enjoying his fruit tart. He loved the tastes of strawberries, lime, apple, peach, and a little bit of honey all rolled up in one delicious pastry. Maybe Sanji said that he had already gotten one as a lie so he wouldn't get one at all. At least, that was what he figured.

"Luffy!"

Luffy turned to see Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Blizzard, and Brook approaching him from behind.

"Hey, guys!" Luffy greeted his crew. "What's going on?"

"Listen up, Luffy," said Nami. "Strange things are afoot here."

"Strange things?" Luffy repeated. "Like what?"

"For one thing," Zoro began, "things on the ship are getting chewed on, like my training equipment."

"And Blizzard's food bowls," added Robin.

"And my underwear!" Franky chimed in.

"Not to mention my favorite red shoes," said Nami, "WHICH, I remind you, were REALLY expensive!"

"And things have been going missing around here," added Usopp, "like my hammer!"

"And my backpack!" Chopper exclaimed.

"And my violin," Brook added.

"As well as my sunglasses," Robin said.

"Also," Sanji began, "you seem to be in two places at once, like there's two of you, and it looks like you grew a tail out of nowhere!"

Luffy gulped.

"Uh…you don't say…"

"We know you have something to do with all of this," Nami said as she pointed a finger in his scarred chest. "Now fess up!"

By this time, Luffy was sweating bullets.

He knew it was only a matter of time before the others caught on to him, he just wished that it wasn't so fast. Then again, Luffy never was good at keeping secrets.

"Well, Luffy?" Usopp asked. "We're waiting!"

"Well…I…uh…" Luffy muttered.

Suddenly, he spotted the hatch opening on the deck behind the others, and out from under the deck came…another Luffy!

"Uh…guys?" Chopper asked. "Look!"

The rest of the Straw Hats turned and saw the second Luffy come out…and this Luffy had that bushy tail!

"W-wait a minute," said Franky. "There are TWO Luffys now?"

"But…which one is the REAL Luffy?" Nami questioned.

"WHAT'S GOING ON, HERE?" Usopp yelled, exasperated.

"Oh, good!" said Luffy as he ran to his…copy, and put an arm around his shoulders. "So, listen It looks like the others caught on a little sooner than I planned."

Luffy #2 tilted his head, and then looked to the crew, who, except for Robin, looked utterly flabbergasted.

"I think it's time they knew," Luffy continued, "so, what do you say you drop the disguise, all right?"

Luffy #2 nodded, before he started to glow purple.

"W-what's happening?" Nami asked.

FWIP! The second Luffy jumped into the air and looked he was doing somersaults, but as he did, he seemed to shrink into a pinkish-purple ball that was about Chopper's size, until it fell on the grass, and that's where it began to take on a different shape. As the light disappeared, something was revealed to the eyes of the crew.

It looked like some sort of fox, only it had slate-gray fur with a large, whorled scruff of fur on its head with a red, flame-like accent on it. It had big, triangular ears with black insides, and red eyelids, as well as circular "eyebrow" markings on its forehead of the same coloration, as well as red tipped paws. Around its neck was a mane of black fur. On its backside was the same bushy tail that the Straw Hats been seeing on the second Luffy. The little creature gave a mischievous snicker.

The Straw Hats could only stare in disbelief as Luffy picked the creature up and took it into his arms. The captain looked to his crew with a smile.

"I surprised them," the fox said, not through his mouth, but somehow telepathically. "Didn't I, Luffy?"

"Yeah, you sure did," Luffy replied.

"L-Luffy," Usopp said. "W-w-what…what is that…that THING?"

"Guys," Luffy began, "this is Zorua!"

There came a moment of silence as the Straw Hats stared at the animal in Luffy's arms, until finally, they had all, sans Robin, come up with just one answer.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?"
