Hello, I'm Kotoro, call me Seki if you want. I use that name more. This is my first One Piece fanfic. Really the first fanfic I've ever posted here or anywhere.
I'm not good with this, so please just put up with it. And I'm not the best at keeping up with things. So I'm sorry if anything happens to this.
And I'm not sure I'll even be able to get the characters attitudes right. I don't have any friends who like One Piece so I've got no beta. So I'll go and hope I don't mess it up to bad.
I'm a rather simple person, and I wish I had a better vocabulary. So just try to put up with me and don't be to harsh. I'll try.
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece or anything about it.
Warnings: Swearing, and Zolu (For those who don't like that kinda stuff.)
Pairings: ZoroxLuffy. And others, maybe. I'm just gonna go and see how it goes. If I say something now I know I'll end up changing my mind and make some people mad.
Summary: It's in the future, groups who work for their own existance and power control most of the world. People have called these groups 'Pirates.' Some work for their own gain, but there are those that formed against them. Zoro and the others have become one of these groups. Science has brought out strange beings that each are after to gain power, or to keep that power out of the wrong hands. Many places remain cut off from the rest of world, living only back in the past. While others have come to a more advanced state. People have turned, and decided it was every man for himself. Strangers are never welcome, and islands are left to perish on their own. Few stand together now as this world seems to fall apart.
Chapter 1: The Crew
He was late, and he was lost. He sat in a small shop staring out at the sky. It would rain any minute now, and it seemed the sky was just waiting for him to step outside. He could feel the eyes of the woman at the counter staring at him. He had no money right now, and if he didn't order anything he knew she'd chase out at some point.
He sighed and stood, the chair creaked as he moved off it. He'd have to start walking back eventually. His motorcycle was in the shop. And like anyone he knew would lend him their car. Well she might, but he'd be paying her back for years with her interest rates.
So he finally walked to the door pushing it open. Stepping outside the rain began to fall, 'Damn rain.' He let to door shut behind him and he walked out into the rain. He just had the worst luck, or maybe this world just hated him.
He had three swords strapped side, short green hair, and harsh black eyes. He wore a plain white shirt with a thin black jacket over it. A dark bandana that shined green tired on his left arm. He wore black pants and boots. And by now he was soaked.
He should hurry back, 'Red-hair', the man who started this group of 'Pirates' had asked to meet with them. He'd never meet him, one of his lackeys had come to him instead. None of them had meet him, all had been brought in by someone else.
And he hated them all equally. Well he could put up with Chopper, he was a reindeer. How he could talk and transform like that, he had no idea. Sanji, he'd love to slice his head off. But then he'd lose his place in this organization. And they pay wasn't to bad, depending on what they did anyway. Nami was another one he could go without, she charged him for everything he asked her to do. And acted like she owned the place, the bitch drove him crazy.
And she seemed to get a lot worse, they had had plenty of jobs and got what they needed from it. But after Chopper had been brought in they had to keep him inside and be careful at what they do, was a talking reindeer that important? Sure that was out of the ordinary, but the most useful thing he was possible of doing was being their doctor. That's all he had to do.
So that was their little group, well all they had so far. They had been told to prepare one more room for when Shanks showed up. He said they might get someone new assigned to them. But he didn't care, as long as they stayed out of his way he was fine with it.
He shivered in the rain, but kept walking. It was just then that he realized something, 'She wouldn't,' he stood there thinking it over, 'she would.' He wouldn't put it past Nami, she'd charge him for every second he was late! He wasn't going to have to listen to her going on and on about him paying her and how it'd go up. He couldn't stand her nagging. He cursed Nami as he toke off running on down the street.

Nami stared at the clock. She was ready to kill Zoro at this point. But it didn't matter as much so far. Zoro was an hour late, and Shanks was thirty minutes late! She had expected him to at least be on time! Was he really coming?
Nami wore a pink shirt with the word 'MONEY' printed on it, and a white skirt with black strips running diagonally on it. The skirt dropped to just above her knees.
She heard screaming up stares, most likely the new guy still chasing Chopper around. Or maybe he was being chased by Chopper again.
Nami sighed and looked back out the window, "Nami-swan!!!", called a more familiar voice as Sanji came out with two drinks on a tray. Hearts in his eyes as he made his way over to her. Nami slowly turned his direction, she glared at him, "Yes, Sanji-kun?" Sanji had golden-blonde hair and black eyes. He wore a pink flower pattern shirt over a long-sleeved plain white shirt and black pants with a shiny pair of black shoes on his feet. The strangest thing about him was his curled eyebrow, his bangs hung over his left eye.
"Even mad, Nami-swan looks wonderful!!", he danced there and dropped to a knee holding up the tray to her.
Nami sighed and toke the drink before turning to look back out the window.
Sanji moved next to her and stared out the window, "Shitty swordsman, making Nami-san upset."
Nami looked at the clock and turned hearing footsteps coming down then stairs. There stood a boy 17 with curly black hair, black eyes, and brown overalls on with a blue shirt under. He had a bandana wrapped around his head and goggles on his head.
In his arms a reindeer he had chased, been chased by, and eventually caught apparently. He wore a large pink hat with a white X on it. And a simple pair of red shorts.
"I-I showed Usopp his room...," Chopper said still tired from screaming and running. Also looking very uncomfortable right now.
"Ah, not bad. But I've seen a much better place, when I visited the Queen!," Usopp said as he descended the last step.
"A Queen?!!," Chopper exclaimed with large eyes.
Nami shook her head and sighed, 'So this is our new member?'
"Ah, there he is!", Sanji called pointing out the window as Zoro came running up over then hill.
"Finally!!," Nami pushed the door open and yelled out it, "Your late!! The new guy is here, but who cares." A crash was heard in the background.
Usopp stuck his head out, "Hey, so your Zoro! I'm Usopp!", he yelled. Zoro was getting closer and slowed down walking as he watched the new guy, 'That's the new guy? He doesn't look like much.' Nami quickly pushed Usopp back in and went back to yelling.
"Your lucky Shanks is late, or else the trouble you could have caused. And you'd owe me so much if we lost another jobs!!"
Nami continued to yell at him even when Zoro finally stepped onto the porch, "Yeah, yeah, at least I got here before he did. And how do we know he will show up? We don't even know what this guy really looks like, Shanks could have just lied to us."
"Look, we need some money. And if I don't get any soon I'll take it all from you!", Nami screamed at him looking ready to kill.
"Ah, so he finally showed up," said a voice behind Nami.
"Woah, she's scary," Usopp said and Chopper still in his arms nodded.
"Load, yes, scary...no," again came the strange voice.
"Ah, and beautiful," Sanji stared at her with hearts in his eyes.
"Well she ain't bad, but still not my type."
Sanji spun to face him, "'She ain't bad?!' Nami-san is amazing!!"
"Hey...," Zoro said quickly, staring past them with a confused look.
Everyone turned and looked at Zoro but Nami who finally realized what was going on.
Zoro pointed to the man behind to Sanji, "Who the hell are you!?"
Sanji, Usopp, and Chopper slowly turned there heads to look at the man. He looked back and forth between them until finally all three screamed and separated moving away from him.
The red-haired man laughed, as everyone stared. Finally calming down, "Ah, sorry. Good to finally meet you all, call me Shanks."
Everyone stared shocked by his sudden appearance.

Well I had fun making that. I found that funny anyway. Ah, well not bad I guess. Now I can only hope that this being the first time I've posted up anything I don't mess it up somehow. I hope you enjoyed. Yes, things seem weird. To me anyway. So yeah. My talking at top was long, sorry. And me naming the chapters might not keep going. I just figured might as well call the chapter The Crew for it doesn't get to much into the story.
Like I said this is my first time uploading something, so I hope I can get this right. I'll make some kind of mistake somewhere in this. I'll try to make sure it works. Please be patient, I've never worked with this stuff before.
I decided on it being rated T just to be safe. I hope I get this to go like I like want it too. And if I at some point need to change it along the way or something like that please tell me.
Well, review? This is my first one, well I guess right now reviews aren't to important. Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed it a little anyway. Also, I hate having to decide on names. So if you can help me decide on a name for this story that'd help. I just putting 'Together' for it's the best thing I could come up with. It would go into future parts of the story, hopefully anyway. And again thanks for reading.
