(Hello ((again if you just are coming from the next chapter)), now I know what you're all thinking, 'WHAT'S GOING ON!' so just calm down and I'll explain. Over the past few days I have had a seriously think about this story and the characters in it, mainly because of some reviews and the future sequel to this story. During my thoughts I decided that Zolo/Zoro was probably not the best person to be Will, the only reason I choose him was because of the sword fighting scene, but then with Vivi being Elizabeth, it didn't really fit together. So, I thought of another character to be Will…enter Sanji.

((Now, I save part of the second film being spoilt I'm going to put '(blank)' where ever a certain character from the 2nd film))
Okay, so Sanji seemed like the perfect choice, as he was love-struck over Vivi, but then enter (blank). With nobody to play (blank) as he is meant to Sanji's (blank), I was back to square one.
Then I came up with a completely new idea in having Shanks as Sparrow, Luffy as Will and (blank) as…well let's just say he's got a D. in his name. I liked this idea, and I very nearly went for it…but I really wanted Luffy to be Sparrow. So, back to square one…AGAIN! (sighs)

Then suddenly, it hit me! The idea was so oblivious that I didn't even think of it before!
So some if the other characters have been replaced to fit in with the storyline hope you enjoy! )

Disclaimer: Super-Nanny and Dragon's-Maidens don't own Pirates of the Caribbean or One Piece.

Super-nanny: okay, me and Dragon's-Maidens have joined forces to create this fic, so you better enjoy it! Whispers or she'll come after you

Super-nanny: sweatdrops err…okay, hope you enjoy the chap!

Pirates of the Grand Line - The Curse of the Merry-Go
Prologue

Mist swirled around a massive boat as it sailed through calm waters. A small voice was heard and had broken through the mist, sounding of a small child singing a brash song. "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me." She was about to sing the next line when a massive hand landed on her shoulder, causing the girl to turn and gasp. Her brown eyes wide from the shock that she received.

"It be a curse to sing about pirates here, missy," a deep voice said and the body of a man looked away. "A curse not welcome on this ship." He turned his gaze back at her, his black eyes trailing the water and mist for pirates.

"That will be all Mr. Ace," a man said, stepping through the mist to see his crewmember.

"Sorry Chaser sir, but it be bad luck to be singing pirates, even worse luck for a lady to be one board, a young lady at that," Ace said, walking away from the two.

The young girl held her hands to her chest with a smile on her face. "I'm only fascinated with pirates, so I don't want to put a curse on this ship." She closed her eyes and tilted her head slightly, her short light blonde hair moving slightly.

"Not at all, besides, if we do run into pirates, I'll be sure that they get what the deserve," Chaser said looking out to the ocean before turning back to her with a smile. "A short drop and a sudden stop." The young girl looked at Ace who had grabbed the back of his red beads around his and pulled it up with his tongue sticking out of his mouth. A hang is what Chaser meant, scaring the poor girl. Seeing the sudden look of fear on the girl's face a man nearby came out and began to talk to Chaser. He wore a black suit and had a hat like a sheepskin hat on his head and around his neck.

"Err…captain Chaser, I don't think this is a matter the Miss. Kaya wishes to hear," he told him. The girl smiled at him recognizing the man to be her carer.

"Actually Merry, I think it will be exiting to meet a pirate," the young girl said happily.

"Yes…that's what concerns me," he said as he rolled his rolls and went off after Chaser.

The young girl's face dropped before she sighed and went to star port side to look out at the water again. Her brown eyes caught the sight of a parasail floating in the water innocently. She smiled before looking to where it came from, squinting her eyes. "A boy! There's a boy in the water!" she shouted.

Chaser quickly turned his head to see what she was talking about and rushed to her side. "Man overboard, he shouted and the crew of the ship brought the boy up and set him on the deck. "Take care of him miss." Looking out with Ace, he saw a burning ship slowly sinking. "Pirates."

The girl, obeying orders, looked at the boy that had been brought up. His short bushy black hair under is dark beige bandana, with a long needle nose on his face, making her giggle as his calm, odd looking, face brought a smile to her face before she spotted a gold trinket, with a skull in the middle of it, around his neck. Pulling it off, her wrist was caught by the boy, gasping for air. "It's alright. You're safe." The boy calmed down and let go of her wrist. "What's your name?"

"U--U-Usopp Sogeki," he said quickly, about to pass out.

"Hello Usopp, my name is Kaya," she said. He smiled slightly before passing out. Vivi looked at the gold trinket, a skull and crossbones on both sides of the coin. "You're a pirate!" she whispered.

"Find any information about him Miss Kaya?" Chaser said, as she jumped up, scaring her.

Vivi quickly put her hands behind her back, hiding the gold charm. "His name is Usopp Sogeki. That's all I got from him," she answered as Chaser just nodded at her satisfied with the answer

"Take him below," he told a crewmember that had short dark blue hair, standing behind him.

As the crew, following their captain's orders, took young Usopp away, Kaya took a few steps away before looking down secretly at the gold trinket with a skull on it in her hand. Kaya held it up and looked out at the ocean to see suddenly see a giant ship with black sails and a Jolly roger with a straw hat on it, fading off into the mist as she gasped.

Super-nanny: well, there it is, hope you have enjoyed and don't forget to leave a review

Now, I know Usopp is no Orlando Bloom, but I think he's actually just right for the role!
(Note: Sogeki means sniper that's why I choose it for his last name, and also, those who have seen the future episodes of One Piece will really now where I got the name from! hehe)
