Chapter 1

Franky could only stare out at the ocean before him. The whirlpool came out of nowhere with no warning what so ever. Usually he wouldn't be too worry, he could just maneuver around it, but there were multiply of them and dab smack in the middle was one huge one.

"Cool! A whirlpool!"

Franky could hear Luffy's excited shout and couldn't help but grin.

"A whirlpool?!" was echoed across the ship as several doors open.

"How the heck did you sail right into a whirlpool Franky?!" Nami yelled at the cyborg.

He shrugged. "It came out of know where." He answered.

"It really did!" Luffy backed up his statement.

She sighed. "Well sail around it."

"Can't. We're already stuck in its current." Franky answered.

Usopp, Brook, Chopper and Nami stared horror struck at him.

"Only you would sail straight into a whirlpool Strawhat." Murmured Law, their new alliance partner.

"But I wasn't sailing the boat." Luffy complained.

"That's beyond the point." He sighed.

"Would you two stop bickering?! Go secure the ship." Nami snapped.

Law glared at her but of course he followed her directions.

"Hmm, I wonder if our bones will be crushed when we fall in." Robin mused out loud.

"Don't say that!" Usopp yelled with his cross clutched in his hands.

With the work of everyone the ship was secured and everyone held on as they entered the maelstrom.

"Hold on guys!" Nami called as they started spinning round and round in its waves.

"I can't believe my eyes! Then again I don't have any. Skull joke!" Brook laughed along with Luffy.

Everyone else ignored them.

It felt like hours, spinning around in whirlpool, but it most likely was only seconds.

"I think the ship is about to turn over." Franky called.

"WHAT?!"

Just as the speedo wearing man predicted the ship turned over as the water swallowed them. Darkness covered them, but only for a moment. Next thing they knew they were on the surface with the ship bobbing innocently on the waves. There was no whirlpools in sight.

"What just happened?" Sanji voice everyone's thoughts.

"I haven't the slightest clue." Franky answered.

"That was FUN!"Luffy yelled, stars shining in his eyes. "Let's do it again!"

"NO!" everyone yelled.

"Aww." He pouted.

"Well everyone's safe surprisingly. The best thing to do is figure out where we landed at." Nami said.

"I see an island!" Usopp called, pointing. He already had his goggles on, one step ahead of everyone.

Everyone turned and notice the island that wasn't too far.

"That's a relief. We could ask the locals." Sanji said, puffing on a cigarette.

"Good thinking Sanji." Nami praised him.

He started doing the noodle dance.

"Cut it out love-cook." Zoro said with a roll of one eye.

"What was that?!" the blond yelled.

"I see another whirlpool." Chopper said, interrupting a would be fight.

"But it's not as big as the last one." Nami went on the side of the ship where the small harmless whirlpool was.

"There's another one over here too!" Luffy called from the other side of the ship.

"There're everywhere. It's like the island is surrounded by whirlpools." Brook said in awe, as he watched one whirlpool disappear and two more takes it place.

Robin's eyes sharpened after Brook's comment.

"You know this place?" Law asked her.

She put a hand to her chin. "I think so. It certainly makes sense if it is." She said thoughtfully.

"What kind of island is it then?" Luffy asked with interest in his eyes.

The tall beauty smiled at him. "It's an island surrounded by whirlpools, Uzu. It was a legendary island filled with powerfully warriors with awe like powers. They were mostly know for sealing and they had a longevity life span. Some say they lived over hundred."

Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp had stars in their eyes as they listen to the tale Robin told.

"Uzu? I think I heard about that legend once or twice before when I was younger." Law commented, looking at the island with new interest.

"If I remember correctly the people were called the Uzumaki clan. Their most startling feature was their unique red hair. Like Red-hair Shanks."

A flash of surprise crossed Law's face.

"So you're saying Red-hair Shanks could be one of these Uzumaki people?" Franky asked.

Robin shrugged. "Maybe."

"So there're warriors on the island?" Zoro asked, a hand on the hilt of his sword.

"No, not anymore. They were killed off due to people fearing them. People of the old had a saying, if you see an Uzumaki flee on sight."

Luffy and Zoro deflated.

"So it's abandon?" Nami asked.

"Yes, but there's a rumor that there's a rare treasure buried somewhere on the island."

The navigator's eyes turned into Belli signs. "Treasure! Franky full speed ahead!" she yelled.

"You got it Nami-sis!"
