Summary- The Straw Hats continue their journey through the New World. However, they soon receive a distress call from someone on an island called Punk Hazard. Luffy, as always, is more than eager to go and explore, as well as rescue this mysterious person, but when he gets there, they soon find that Punk Hazard is no ordinary island: one half is fiery and the other is icy, a talking dragon stands in the way, the Marines appear, a samurai is in pieces, giant children, a man that Luffy owes his gratitude to returns, and a mysterious mastermind has captured the rest of the Straw Hats! It's up to Luffy to put a stop to all this madness, but the Straw Hats may never be the same again when someone offers to create an alliance! Also, who is this little girl who seems to have some relation to Luffy?!
Ch. 1- Punk Hazard
(WARNING: LEMON AHEAD! DON'T LIKE IT, THEN DON'T READ IT!)
Another day of sailing in the New World for the Straw Hat Pirates. The crew has been through many adventures here, throughout this mysterious sea…and today would be no different. At this moment, though, our heroes are enjoying their usual routines.
Roronoa Zoro was busy with his training regimen, as usual. He is busy, doing push-ups…with a 4-ton weight on his back…and his girlfriend, Nico Robin was sitting on that weight, reading a book!
"How's it going, Zoro?" Robin asked.
"Great," Zoro answered. "56,789…56,790…56,791…!"
Robin chuckled as she kept reading her book.
Usopp is seen, sitting on the railing with Tony-Tony Chopper, fishing for lunch.
"Ooh!" Chopper chirped as he felt a tug on his line. "I got a bite! Usopp, help me!"
"Got it!" Usopp said before he grabbed Chopper from behind and helped him reel in their catch. After what seemed like hours, they finally managed to pull up…a huge, blue Marlin!
"Whoa! What a catch!" Usopp exclaimed.
"Yeah! We're gonna eat good, tonight!" Chopper agreed.
"Hey, Sanji! Look at this fish we caught!" Usopp called.
Sanji, who was busy washing the dishes, came outside and saw the Marlin that they had caught.
"Whoa! Nice catch, you two!" he praised as he came to inspect the large fish. "Hmm…there's enough meat on this guy to make sashimi. I could also make a Pirate Lunchbox using some other ingredients."
"All right~!" Usopp and Chopper cheered.
Franky is at the helm, steering the ship, while Brook is sitting nearby…trying to practice his angles.
"Oh, balderdash," Brook grumbled. "I still can't seem to reach 40 degrees!"
Meanwhile, in the library, Nami is seen drawing her maps while Blizzard lied next to her desk, taking a snooze. The navigator smiled as she gently pet the wolf-dog on the head and gently scratched behind his ears, causing him to joyfully wag his tail and thump his leg on the floor in his sleep.
"Another usual day in the New World, huh Blizzard?" Nami asked. "It almost seems boring, how peaceful it is for right now."
Blizzard just yawned, not caring one bit.
"At least you dogs don't have to worry about much," Nami said. "The only thing you have to worry about is if someone's feeding you and giving you a bed to sleep on."
Just then, a pair of hands covered Nami's eyes from behind, causing her to gasp.
"Guess who~!" a familiar voice sang, and Nami laughed before she turned to see her boyfriend/captain, Monkey D. Luffy.
"Hey, Gummy Bear," Nami said, calling Luffy by his affectionate nickname. "What's going on?"
"Just checking on ya," Luffy said. "Also, I was in the mood for a little snack."
"I'm not gonna keep opening the fridge for you every time you get hungry," Nami said.
"Oh, I'm not talking about THAT kind," Luffy said…before he began to kiss Nami's neck, causing her to shudder a little bit since she wasn't expecting it…but then she blushed and started to moan pleasantly.
Blizzard, on the other hand, was cringing, for he knew what was coming next.
'Here we go, again,' he thought before he got up and left the room. 'Seriously, it's nonstop with those two!'
Before long, Luffy had his arms wrapped around Nami's waist as he continued to kiss and lick her neck.
"Mmm…you taste good, Nami," he said before he whispered in her ear in a bold tone, "I want you, so bad, right now."
Nami smirked as she glanced at Luffy.
"You're pretty damn horny right now, aren't you?" she asked.
"Only when I'm around you, Pretty Kitty," Luffy replied before he tenderly nibbled on Nami's ear, causing her to moan even more. Then, she turned around and kissed Luffy on the lips for what seemed like a long time before she pulled away from him and grabbed his hand.
"All right, that's it," she said. "You know what this means, right?"
"Hell yeah," Luffy answered, licking his lips.

Soon, the captain and the navigator had rushed to their room, slamming the door and locking it, but not before the latter put a certain sign on the door knob.
"Do not disturb (THAT GOES FOR YOU, TOO, SANJI!)"
Nami then turned to look at Luffy, who looked at her with bedroom eyes.
"I'm waiting, my Queen," he said.
Nami smirked…before she climbed up on the bed and kissed her boyfriend on the lips, once again, their tongues pushing against each other, wrestling each other for dominance.
"Mmm…oh, Nami…yes~!" Luffy moaned. "Oh, god, I want you in my mouth!"
"Mmm…haa…haaa…!" Nami moaned as she continued to kiss her beloved before she began to strip Luffy of his cardigan, causing Luffy to do the same to her bikini top. Then, the captain opened his mouth…and began to suck on her left breast, causing her to moan even more, and as if that wasn't enough, Luffy squeezed her right breast.
Nami gasped and chewed her lip, trying her hardest not to scream.
"Oh, god…!" she whispered. "Ohhhhh, Luffy~!"
"Mmmm~!" Luffy moaned as he kept sucking on one breast and squeezing the other, pleasuring Nami even more. Then, he did something that drove her completely up the wall: he…pinched one of Nami's nipples and gave it a small twist, causing her to scream.
"Oh, god, Luffy, YES!" she cried as Luffy continued to tease her. "YES! THANK YOU~!"
Luffy then pulled away and licked his lips.
"…I think it's my turn, now," he said.
Nami smirked…before she began to untie Luffy's sash and unbutton his jeans. Then, she pulled his underwear down…revealing his erected shaft. Without speaking a word, the navigator opened her mouth…and began to suck on Luffy's cock, causing him to moan.
"Ohhhh, Nami~! I love you, so much~!"
Nami moaned as she kept sucking on Luffy's rubber extension, and even going as to make it go deeper into her throat. She gagged a little bit as a reflex, but kept going, nonetheless. She was enjoying every second of this, as was Luffy.
"N…Nami…!" Luffy grunted, holding her head. "I…I think…I'm about to-"
Before he could finish, Nami coughed as a white substance was spewed into her mouth, causing her to pull away.
"Sorry," Luffy apologized. "I was trying to last a bit longer than I did before."
"It's okay," Nami said, licking her lips. "You did pretty good so far…but now I think it's time to get down to the real show."
Luffy smirked…before he began to unzip Nami's pants, revealing a pair of yellow Criminal brand panties.
"You're wearing that new one I wanted you to get," the captain noted.
"Of course," Nami said. "Why wouldn't I get them when I knew you'd want me to wear them, anyway?"
"Shishishishishi!" Luffy laughed.
Nami smiled…before she and Luffy kissed once again. As they did, Luffy continued to strip Nami of her pants and underwear…leaving her completely bare.
"You ready for this?" Luffy asked and Nami nodded. They kissed once again while Luffy gently pushed Nami down against the bed…and began to enter her womanhood, causing her moan once again. Then…he started to thrust.
"Unh…uuuuhhh…!" Nami moaned. "Ohhh…oh, Luffy, yes~! Yes~!"
Luffy grunted as he kept thrusting inside Nami, deeper and deeper.
"Ugh…ugh~! Harder, Luffy! Harder!"
Luffy nodded before he kept going, harder and harder, but not too hard, for he didn't want to hurt her.
"Oh…oh, that's it!" Nami panted as he kept pounding her. "That's it! Oh, god! I'm GOING CRAZY~!"
"Then you're gonna go absolutely nuts when I do this!" Luffy said before he started thrusting, faster, causing Nami to scream.
"OH, YES, LUFFY! FUCK ME~! FUCK ME HARD~!"
"YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I WILL~!"
XXX
Blizzard groaned as he covered his ears.
'This is getting ridiculous!' he thought. 'How long are those two gonna go at it?!'
Franky is seen, sitting on top of Sanji, who is struggling to get out from underneath him.
"GET OFF ME, FRANKY, YOU BASTARD!" the cook yelled.
"Oh, give it a rest already!" Franky said. "You should be used to this by now!"
"…I still don't get it," Chopper said. "What are Luffy and Nami doing in there? And how come Nami is screaming so much? Luffy's not hurting her, is he?!"
"You know what, Chopper?" Usopp asked. "I think it's time you learned something since I know Blizzard's not gonna tell you."
"About what?" Chopper asked.
"Well, you see-" Usopp began, but then he was cut off by Zoro.
"Hold that thought, Usopp!" the swordsman called. "We've got a problem. Look at the sky!"
Everyone looked up to see…a huge bunch of storm clouds, forming in the sky.
"Oh, dear," Brook muttered.
"Uh…I think I better go get Nami!" Chopper said.
"NO!" Usopp cried as he held him back. "I-I'll do it!"
And so, with a look of pure dread, Usopp headed to Luffy and Nami's room to alert them to the impending storm.
'I just know I'm gonna regret this,' the sniper thought.
XXX
Luffy panted as he kept thrusting inside Nami, faster and harder and deeper than before, and this time…they were in the "doggy position".
"Oh…oh, god!" Nami cried. "I…I think I'm gonna…!"
"Me, too!" Luffy agreed.
And so, with one last scream, the pair finally released their loads. After Luffy pulled out of her, Nami lied beside her lover, breathless and sweaty. Luffy smiled as he lied back, too, his hands behind his head.
"Now THAT was awesome," he said.
"You got that right," Nami said as she rested her head on Luffy's chest and traced her finger on his right pectoral.
"So…you wanna go again?" Luffy asked.
Nami smirked.
"Are you asking me what I think you're asking me?" she asked.
"Maybe~!" Luffy sang before he and Nami started to kiss again, but then, CREEEEEAAAK! The ship suddenly moved, causing them to yelp in surprise.
"What the hell?!" Luffy questioned.
"…Wait a minute," Nami said before she got out of bed and began to get dressed. As she did, there was a knock on the door.
"Hey, Luffy! Nami!" Usopp called. "I hate to interrupt your good time, but you two better get out here, and I mean ASAP! And you might wanna wear a raincoat!"
"Dammit, I knew it!" Nami said. "Honestly, Luffy, you and your libido!"
"My libido?!" Luffy repeated before he got dressed, too. "…Wait, what's a libido? Some kind of food?"
"Never mind," Nami said as she grabbed her raincoat and ran outside. "C'mon!"
As soon Luffy was fully dressed, he followed his girlfriend outside. Upon getting there, however…they soon found themselves in the middle of a huge thunderstorm and a torrential downpour! Not just that, but it looked like the sea was on fire!
"Whoa~! Cool!" Luffy exclaimed.
"What the hell happened while Luffy and I were in there?!" Nami questioned.
"What do you think happened?!" Zoro questioned. "While you were busy, doing it like rabbits, we got caught in this storm!"
"Ugh, of all the…!" Nami groaned. "Just shut up and get the ship under control! We gotta get outta here!"
"Hey, Nami, look over there!" Luffy said. "There's an island with a volcano on it! Let's land there!"
"No, Luffy!" Nami shouted. "Did you forget that the Log Pose only has 3 needles, and not 1 of them is pointing to that island?! This is weird and dangerous, even for the New World!"
"Who cares?!" Luffy asked. "We're landing there! We can see it, so what's the point of having a needle?!"
"Luffy, you're not hearing me!" Nami shouted. "There's no way we can get any closer to that island! I mean, look at it! There's a practically a ring of fire around it, and that's strange even for this place!"
"That means that if we get any closer to that island, the ship will burn into cinders!" Usopp cried.
"No way!" Franky exclaimed. "The Sunny's SUPER safe!"
"That's not the point!" Nami shouted. "Don't you get it?! We can't actually cross that fire! I mean, look at the water!"
In the sea, there are various fish skeletons floating on the surface.
"It's filled with bones, bones, and more bones!" Nami cried.
"Did someone call my name?" Brook asked.
Blizzard groaned at this.
'Once again, we are at an impasse,' he thought…before his ears twitched at a strange sound.
PWOHOHOHOHO~! PWOHOHOHOHO~! PWOHOHOHOHOHO~!
"Hey, Luffy," Blizzard said. "You hear that?"
"Yeah! It's coming from the kitchen!" Luffy answered before he and Blizzard went inside the kitchen. There, they found the Transponder Snail…crying its eyes out.
"Hey! What's going on?!" Luffy asked. "The Transponder Snail's crying! Hey, what's the matter, buddy?! You got a tummy ache?!"
"Why would it cry about something like that?!" Blizzard asked.
"Well, sometimes, I cry when my tummy hurts," Luffy pointed out.
"Yeah, YOU cry, Luffy," Blizzard rebuked.
"You dumb-ass," Sanji said. "It's an S.O.S call! Someone must be in trouble."
"Oh," Luffy said. "So…if I pick it up, does that mean I can reach them?"
"Wait, Luffy! Don't!" Robin called. "A majority of S.O.S calls! It's probably a trap set by the Marines! If you pick it up and they trace the call, they'll know where we are!"
"Thank god for Robin!" Usopp exclaimed. "We should think about this before we-"
"Hello?" Luffy asked, holding the receiving end of the Transponder Snail. "This is Luffy! Future Pirate King!"
"STOP, YOU MORON!" Usopp shouted, slapping Luffy on the back of his head. "DON'T TELL THEM EVERYTHING!
'Why am I not surprised?' Blizzard thought.
"HELP!" cried a voice on the other side of the snail. "PLEASE! SOMEONE, HELP MEEEE!"
Luffy gasped at this.
"It…it's so cold…!" the voice whimpered. "Boss? Is that you?!"
"No, this isn't your boss!" Luffy answered. "Where are you?! Is it cold where you are?!"
"Didn't he just say that?!" Blizzard asked.
"All my men…they were cut down, one after the other! We're…being hunted down…by a samurai!"
'Samurai?!' Zoro and Brook thought in surprise.
"Hey! Who are you?!" Luffy questioned. "Where are you?!"
"Please…h-help us! We're trapped on…PUNK HAZARD~!"
"Punk what?" Luffy repeated, but before he could ask more…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAGGH!" the voice screamed as the snail coughed up blood…and then…the snail fell asleep.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Usopp and Chopper screamed. "HE'S DEAD~!"
'Oh, damn!' Blizzard thought. 'What the hell just happened?!'
"Hmm…" Luffy hummed, putting a hand to his chin in thought. "I smell a mystery."
"NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!" Blizzard barked.
"THERE'S NO MYSTERY ABOUT IT, LUFFY!" Usopp shouted. "HE WAS KILLED IN COLD BLOOD!"
"SLICED AND DICED!" Chopper added.
"We shouldn't forget this, this could've been a cleverly acted trap," Robin added.
"C'mon~!" Brook sang, strumming his guitar. "Let's calm down, everybody~!"
"Samurai, eh?" Zoro asked. "Sounds familiar, doesn't it, Brook?"
"Very familiar, indeed," Brook agreed. "The word 'samurai' is a title given to the swordsmen of Wano Country!"
"Wano Country?" Nami repeated.
"Yes, Wano Country," Brook answered. "It is a closed-doors nation. No outsiders are allowed within it. They are not even affiliated with the World Government. Also, these samurai are so powerful…that not even the Marines dare to breach their territory!"
"A…are you serious?!" Usopp questioned. "Not even the Marines dare to cross them?! I've never even heard of such a country!"
"But the guy didn't say anything about Wano County," Franky pointed out. "He said 'Punk Hazard'! Isn't it that fiery island over there?"
"If he was using a Mini Transponder Snail," Robin began, "then the only island within range would have to be that one."
"That settles it, then!" Luffy exclaimed. "Forward, men! We're off to Punk Hazard to rescue that guy!"
"NOOOOOOOO~!" Nami screamed.
"IT'S PROBABLY TOO LATE TO SAVE HIM, LUFFY!" Usopp cried.
"SAMURAI ARE SCARY~!" Chopper yelled.
"I'M SCARED TOO~!" Brook wailed.
'Why the hell are you scared?!' Blizzard thought.
XXX
But meanwhile, not too far away…
"…PUNK HAZARD~! AAAAAAAAAAAAGGH!"
On a certain Marine battleship…it is revealed that Vice-Admiral Smoker and Tashigi had been listening to the whole conversation using a Black Transponder Snail.
"Vice-Admiral Smoker," Tashigi said. "Was that…?"
"Dammit to hell," Smoker cursed. "How the hell did they even get here?" He then looked down at the Log Pose in his hand. "Well…we had a 1-in-3 chance…under normal circumstances, that is."
"YEOOOOOOW~!" screamed a pirate that the G-5 soldiers were currently burning to a crisp. "STOP! PLEASE! IT BURNS~!"
The G-5 men only laughed at his expense.
"Now cut that out!" Tashigi shouted. "No torturing the pirates!"
"There are 3 places that the Log Pose's needles point to after Fishman Island," Smoker said. "Risky Red Island, Raijin Island, and Mistoria Island. Straw Hat was bound to choose Raijin Island, the destination with the shakiest needle…but instead, he ignores all of them!"
"But Vice-Admiral, sir!" Tashigi said. "Ever since the incident 4 years ago…Punk Hazard has since been abandoned and sealed off, completely! There's no way anyone could be there!"
"You're right, Tashigi," Smoker said. "It's not any state to support any type of life at the moment."
The G-5 Marines laughed as they stabbed another pirate with a spear, over and over. It looked like he was barely alive at this point.
"Hey, you bunch of no-necked, brainless barbarians!" Smoker shouted, getting their attention. "Listen up! We're going to Punk Hazard to intercept the Straw Hats!"
"What?!" a soldier questioned.
"But sir, that's crazy!" said another. "The place is off limits! You know that!"
"Don't you start telling me about the law, you hypocrites!" Smoker shouted. "Now get moving!"
"Y-yes, sir!" the G-5 Marines cried.
XXX
"Luffy, for the last time!" Nami said. "We CANNOT enter that island!"
But once again, her pleas had fallen on deaf ears, for Luffy was busy stretching his muscles, getting ready to go.
"Let's face it, Nami," Zoro said. "When the captain makes a decision, we all gotta follow it, no matter what."
"Ugh…you got a point there," Nami said. "Oh, well. I guess it can't be helped."
She then held up a bundle of shredded paper.
"How about this, then?" Nami asked. "We draw straws. Whoever draws the shortest straws go with Luffy while the rest stay here."
"The old drawing straws thing, eh?" Zoro asked. "Why not. I'm game. I'd go, even if I didn't draw the shortest one."
"Zoro! If I get picked, please go instead of me!" Chopper begged.
'Well, here we go,' Blizzard thought as he and the others grabbed a "straw".
"They say that good luck lies in odd numbers!" Usopp said. "If that's the case, then I'll stake my life on this one!"
With that, the sniper grabbed a straw…and then swiftly pulled it from out of Nami's hand. He screwed his eyes shut, afraid to look, but inevitably, he opened his eyes…and saw, to his horror…that he had pulled a straw with a red dot painted on: one of the "short straws".
" % ^ & * = $!" he cried, incoherent.
"So, I guess this means the ones who go with Luffy are…" Sanji began.
"Me, Robin, and Usopp," Zoro said with a smirk.
"How fun," Robin smiled.
"How horrifying…!" Usopp muttered, comically depressed.
"Oh, so you drew a short one!" Sanji said. "Lucky you!"
"'LUCKY', MY BIG HAIRY ASS!" Usopp shouted. "SOMEONE, TRADE WITH ME~!"
"All right, then!" Sanji said as he held up some boxed lunches. "I made some Pirate Lunchboxes with some Marlin and some of the deep-sea fish that I saved after we left Fishman Island."
"Cool! Thanks, Sanji!" Luffy said as he took them.
"Okay, guys! Here!" Nami called as she held her Sorcery Clima-Tact. "I can make a road to the island for you! MILKY ROAD!"
BWOOMF! A huge road made of clouds appeared from the Sorcery Clima-Tact and made a path over the flames, connecting the ship to the island!
"WHOOOOOAAA~!" Luffy exclaimed. "A path made of clouds, just like on Skypiea! You're awesome, babe!"
"Aww, thanks, Luffy," Nami said, "but you shouldn't waste your time, praising me! They're still clouds, so you better hurry before they dissipate!"
Soon, Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Robin gathered on board the Mini Merry II, heading for the island.
"Here goes the search party!" Luffy said, already eating some of his lunch. "Carry us there, Mini Merry!"
"Uh, Luffy? I have a question," Zoro said.
"What?" Luffy asked.
"Well…WHY IS THE DOG HERE?!" Zoro questioned.
Luffy looked back and saw Blizzard…sitting in between Zoro and Robin.
"No wonder it's so snug in here," Robin said, sitting on Blizzard's left side.
"Blizzard, go back on the ship!" Zoro barked. "You're too damn big!"
"Blizzard, what are you doing here?!" Luffy asked. "You didn't even draw a short straw!"
"You think I'd let you go here without me?" Blizzard asked. "Forget it!"
"But you might get heatstroke!" Luffy said. "This is no place for a dog with thick fur!"
"Well, it's too late for me to go back now," Blizzard said. "I'm on board and I'm staying. Simple as that."
"Okay, it's your funeral," Luffy said.
"Be careful out there!" Chopper called.
"Lucky dogs," Franky said.
"Don't sweat it," Sanji said. "We'll get our turn when they come back."
"Yohohoho!" Brook laughed. "Save travels, friends!"
"Hang in there, Usopp!" Nami called.
"SWITCH WITH ME~!" Usopp yelled. "PLEASE- YEOW! THAT'S HOT!"
'Big baby,' Blizzard thought.
Soon, the Mini Merry began to climb over the wall of flames. At first, it looked like was going to go right back down due to Blizzard's added weight, but it managed to get the job done.
"Here we go!" Luffy said. "We made it over the flames!"
"I hope these clouds will be able to take us back…!" Usopp whimpered.
'Didn't Nami say that they'd dissipate?' Blizzard thought.
"Well, at least it stopped raining," Zoro said.
"Perfect weather for searching," Robin added.
"IT'S WAY TOO HOT!" Usopp cried.
The remaining Straw Hats watched as the search-and-rescue party sailed towards the island.
"There they go," Nami said.
"Miss Nami?" Brook asked. "Will those clouds actually reach the island?"
"Maybe," Nami answered as she tied her hair up in a ponytail.
"I hope Blizzard will be okay," Chopper said, panting due to the heat. "If I can't stand the heat, I know he probably can't either. Curse our thick fur coats."
"I'm sure Blizzard will be okay," Nami reassured. "Besides, you know how Blizzard is: he always follows everywhere, no matter what, even if someone else went with him. I'm sure they'll be back when their search turns up nothing."
"In that case, I'll whip up a nice cool deep-sea fish dessert, Nami~!" Sanji swooned.
"Yeah~!" Brook and Franky cheered.
XXX
With Luffy and the others…
"Look! There's the entrance!" Luffy said.
"I'm telling you, now!" Usopp said. "There might've been people on that island once, but no one can live in this kind of environment, now! I bet that call we got was coming from some other island, farther away! Right, Robin?!"
When Usopp turned, he saw that Robin and Zoro are now eating their lunches.
"This fish looked ugly, but it's actually quite delicious," Robin said.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Usopp questioned. "This is NOT lunchtime!"
"Don't you wanna eat yours?" Zoro asked.
"I COULDN'T KEEP ANYTHING DOWN RIGHT NOW IF I TRIED!" Usopp yelled.
"Mmm, this is so good!" Luffy said. "I can't stop eating it!"
However, when he tried to take another bite, he saw, to his shock, that his lunchbox was empty.
"AH! My food's gone!" Luffy cried.
"No surprise, you probably ate it all before you even knew it!" Blizzard said.
GURGLE~! Luffy looked down at his growling stomach, causing him to whimper.
"Luffy, would you like some more?" Robin asked.
"Yes, please!" Luffy answered eagerly.
"Now wait just a minute!" Zoro said.
"Oh, Zoro, relax," Robin said as she fed Luffy a bite of her food. "It's just once."
"…Fine," Zoro grumbled, "but just one time!"
"Oh, no…!" Usopp muttered. "I think my condition is flaring up for the first time in 2 years! You guys remember my terminal illness of 'Can't-Set-Foot-On-This-Island' disease, right?!"
"Yeah, we know," Luffy, Zoro, and Robin answered.
XXX
"Well, we're here, guys!"
The search-and-rescue team had arrived on the flaming hot shores of…Punk Hazard. Upon getting there, they found a large, metal gate which looked like it was melting. There was even a sign on it that said "PUNK HAZARD".
"We'll just drag Merry up here on the beach," Luffy said as he and Zoro put the Mini Merry on the shore.
"Well, this is the place all right," Robin said. "The sign proves it."
"The S.O.S must've come from in here," Zoro said, wiping some sweat on his brow.
Usopp whimpered and chewed on his fingernails, worriedly.
"This island's off-limits!" he cried. "Look, Luffy! On the gate!"
On the gate, it is revealed that there is a warning sign with a large horned skull on it, as well as the marks of the Marines and the World Government.
"It has both the insignias of the World Government AND the Marines!" Usopp exclaimed. "Thus meaning that if anyone was here, they'd be Government employees! No point going inside, so let's turn back!"
No response.
"Uh…hello?" Usopp asked. "Guys?"
"Hey, Usopp!" Luffy called, already on the other side of the gate with Zoro and Robin, the former having cut a hole in the face with his swords.
"No! Wait! We're breaking the law!" Usopp cried.
'You forget we're pirates, you wimp,' Blizzard thought as he went through the hole, too. 'Now, c'mon!'
"Oh, for crying out LOUD!" Usopp cried before he followed the others. "WAIT UP!"
Upon entering the island…the group is overwhelmed by the blazing heat of the flames.
"Oh…oh, man…!" Luffy panted as he stripped off his cardigan and tied the sleeves around his waist. "It's too hot!"
"You got that right," Zoro said as he and Robin began to take off their shirts, too, the latter revealing that she is wearing a pair of waist-high shorts and a pink flower blouse underneath her dark green dress.
(A/N: Fan-service, ALL AROUND!)
"Damn, this place is burning up," Zoro said.
"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you!" Usopp said. "You guys are picking a fight with the Government! Oh, wait…we've been doing that."
'Idiot,' Blizzard thought as he panted heavily, ropes of drool dangling from his mouth.
"Blizzard, you okay?" Luffy asked. "I told you that you should've stayed on the ship, boy!"
"Please…this place has got nothing on Impel Down's Inferno Hell!" Blizzard retorted. "At least I can stand in this place. I could barely move there!"
Robin took a good look around and saw many melting buildings around them.
"It seems as though this island wasn't always on fire like this," the archaeologist noted. "Could it be there was kind of disaster here? Or an accident? These don't look like houses. This was probably a Government facility."
"So were the big fences and warnings a sign that this place got dangerous once the fire started?" Zoro asked. "Or was it always this dangerous?"
"Not to mention the fact that the Log Pose won't point to this island," Robin added.
"HELLOOOOOO~!" Luffy called. "YO! DUDE FROM BEFORE! ARE YOU HEEEEERE?! WE'RE HERE TO SAVE YOOOOOOU~! WHERE ARE YOOOOOOU~?! SAMURAI~!"
"What are you doing?!" Usopp questioned, munching on the food in his lunchbox. "Don't call that killer on us!"
"So now you're hungry?" Zoro asked with a teasing smirk.
"What's the point in wasting my final meal?!" Usopp asked. "Still, there's one thing that bothers me. The guy on the snail that it was cold here, remember?!"
"Yeah, that doesn't make sense," Luffy said, his tongue dangling out of his mouth. "How can it be cold when it's so hot out here?! …Maybe he's stupid."
"What kind of reasoning is that?!" Usopp questioned.
"Someplace called on an island of fire?" Robin inquired. "Maybe he meant that his experiences were chilling."
Blizzard panted as he kept drooling and licking his chops, trying to keep cool.
"Hey, Luffy…you got any water or something?" the wolf-dog asked. "The heat's making me thirsty."
"I forgot to ask Sanji for drinks," Luffy said. "Sorry. I didn't even think about how hot it would be!"
'Of course not,' Blizzard thought.

Back on the Sunny, the remaining Straw Hats are enjoying some cool, refreshing deep-sea fish desserts, courtesy of Sanji. However, for some reason, Nami seemed focused on the island.
"Is something wrong, Nami?" Chopper asked.
"Worried about Luffy, eh?" Franky asked.
"Well, there's that," Nami answered, "but also…look at the clouds. There's something wrong with them. It almost looks like…the other side of the island is freezing…but that can't be right!"
XXX
Back on Punk Hazard, the group has come across a huge, melting skull!
"WAAH! A GIANT!" Usopp screamed.
"No way," Zoro said. "Giants aren't as big as this thing."
"Huh," Luffy muttered. "You sure about that?"
Grrrrrrrrr…! A low growling sound filled the air, causing everyone to freeze.
"D-Did you guys hear that?" Usopp asked.
"I think it's my tummy," Luffy said, putting his hand on his stomach.
"No way," Blizzard remarked. "Even your stomach doesn't growl THAT loud."
Then, CRUMBLE-CRUMBLE! A large chunk of rubble suddenly fell behind the quintet, forcing them to turn around…only to gasp in shock.
'WHAT THE FREAKING HELL?!' Blizzard thought.
"HOLY CRAP!" Usopp cursed.
"Huh?!" Luffy questioned. "You mean…these things actually DO exist?!"
"No way!" Zoro said. "I mean…aside from those Millennial Dragons we saw that one time, I thought they were just fairy tales!"
"But here it is, staring us in the face!" Robin added. "This…can only be one thing!"
There, staring down at the group hungrily…stood a massive red dragon with wings, horns, and huge fangs!
"A DRAGON?!" the Straw Hats questioned in shock.
The huge reptile snorted at its prey with waterfalls of saliva cascading from its mouth…when suddenly…
"…Who goes there-bu?!"
"Huh?!" Luffy muttered. "It…IT CAN TALK?!"
TO BE CONTINUED…
Well, here it is, folks! The Punk Hazard Crisis has begun! I'm gonna be taking a break from the crossover for a bit.
Anyway, review, please!
