Chapter 1 "Can I Join"

"Luffy! Zoro! Wake up!", Nami shouted. Luffy got up and looked around to see that everyone was up well everyone but Zoro. Nami walked over to him and hit over the head. "Zoro get up we need to get ready to head out to get sanji back from Big Mom.

Big Mom was one of the 4 yonko and they are the people who control the new world. Sanji had been taken by her prior to the Straw Hats meeting up.

Zoro finally got up a little annoyed. "Nami you didn't need to hit me!", said Zoro. Nami just glared back at him, "look Zoro I yelled your name twice". After awhile everyone had gotten up they all went to say goodbye to all the minks.

When they met up with everyone they where thanking all the minks for letting them stay there on Zou. Carrot got talking with Luffy about what lies ahead for his crew. She knows deep down she wants to go with them but there was one problem with that. She didn't want to leave zou and of the minks. "Bye carrot off to get my nakama back", luffy said as he was walking away to return to the Thousand Sunny but was stopped.

Carrot was holding his arm and even though she didn't know if she should or not. Luffy stared at her in confusion, "Carrot? What is it?. Carrot thought to herself if this was the right thing to do or if she should just just let it go. The idea of going somewhere new interested her. But she thought was there some other reason she wanted to go with him.

She then realized something she new thought of. It was this feeling she had in her. It was something that she didn't really think of till that moment. But that was out of the question. They where different species yet she remembered that they where a for of minks. Then it came to her and without eve thing she looked luffy in the eyes and said, "Luffy… can I um... come with you and join your crew?"

Luffy looked at her with a blank face for just a moment but for carrot it felt like an eternity. She let of him realizing what she asked him. He began to laugh to himself then look her back in the eye and told her, "yes carrot". He smiled and yelled, "let's go!"

She felt like hugging luffy but all she did was tell everyone that she would meet them at the gate of zou. They ran off while carrot ran to collect her stuff. She hurried and took everything she would need for the journey to the gate where everyone was waiting. She smiled and blushed a little at the sight of Luffy. Soon they set off down and made their way to the sunny. When it was finally in sight they all got ready to set sail. She could hardly wait to see the world.
