The Thousand Sunny sailed lazily threw the waves of the Grand Line. The ships captain, Monkey D. Luffy sat at the head of the ship, looking into the horrizon with a big goofy grin on his face. He had jet black hair under a straw hat with a small cressent shaped scar under his eye. He wore an open red vest with blue pants and straw sandles. Behind him, sleeping on the deck, was their swordsman, Roronoa Zoro. He had green hair cropped close to his skull with a blue a-top and black pants. He wore black boots with a black bandana tied to his left arm and three gold earings on his left ear. He carred three swords that now laid next to his body. Suddenly Usopp stuck his head out of the crows nest above. "LAND!" he screamed on the top of his lungs. He had thick curly black hair under a yellow bandana with a long nose and wore brown overalls with brown boots and carried a messenger bag. He had a blue and white stripped cloth on his left arm and the biggest smile on his face at the on coming black haze that ment an island ahead. Hearing his yell, the other members of the crew came out of the ship and Usopp climbed down from the crows nest. Sanji came out of the galley, liting a cigerette. He had blonde hair that covered his left eye and his right eyebrow was curled. He wore a black suit and dress shoes. Nami and Nico Robin came rom the women's quarters. Nami had short orange hair tied back in a small ponytail. She wore a red shirt and blue shorts with high heels. On her left shoulder was a purple tattoo of a pin wheel and a tangerine, and on her left wrist was a gold bracelet and the logpose. Robin had longer black hair and wore a white shirt and black shorts with knee high black boots. She held a book in her left hand that she had been reading just seconds ago. Tony Tony Chopper, Franky, and Brook came up from the men's quarters. Chopper was a tiny reindeer with a blue nose and blue shorts. He also wore a pink hat with a white x on it. Franky was a large cyborg with blue hair and a metal nose. He wore a yellow shirt with a black speedo. Lastly Brook was an enormous skeliton with a black afro and in a black suit. He also carried a purple cane.

"Alright, we don't need to be here long, just to get supplies." Nami said. Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper whinned. THey wanted to explore for a few hours. "The ship needs some repairs below." Nami said.

"I need to go pick up some supplies, Long nose, can you handle it until I get back?" Franky asked. Usopp gave a thumbs up to show he had it all under control.

"Then someone needs to guard the ship." said Nami. Every head turned to the sleeping swordsman. "It's settled then. Zoro will guard the ship and Usopp will work on repairs. The rest of us will go ashore and meet back at the ship by night fall." Nami said. They all nodded except Zoro, who was still fast asleep.

"Smoker, what makes you think the strawhats are here?" Tashigi asked as her and Smoker strolled along the road. The village was small but livley.

"Because this is the next island that the log pose points too." Smoker hissed. Tashigi nodded. Usually when Smoker got a hunch it was right, and no one had been able to track the strawhat's like he had. The two fell back to silence. Tashigi looked at Smoker. 'I wonder why such a dedicated and admirable man joined the Marines in the first place.' she found herself thinking. Smoker had always been a private man, not sharing any part of his personal life with anyone, not even her.

Luffy tock off running at top speed. "LUFFY!" yelled Sanji, taking off after him. If no one kept an eye on him he would end up spending all of their precious money on meat. As soon as they were out of site, Robin and Chopper calmly left the ship.

"Where are you two going?" Nami asked.

"To a book store. Our doctor would like some new medical books and I was hoping to find some new history books." Robin said. Nami nodded as they left, then she turned to Franky and Brook.

"Alright, let's go." she said in exasperation. Without Sanji or Usopp, she had no one to hold the things she buys. She'd just have to make due with Brook. Usopp then went below deck to start working, leaving Zoro alone on the deck of the ship.

"AH! Smoker!" Tashigi gasped looking ahead. Smoker turned to glare at her.

"What girl?" he barked, putting two new cigars in his mouth. Tashigi pointed ahead to where the Thousand Sunny was, just nearly out of sight. Smoker smiled. "I told you they were here." he said, walking towards it.

"What are we going to do?" she asked. Smoker looked back.

"If we take their ship then strawhat will find us." Smoker said. Tashigi nodded and followed as they got closer to the ship. Quietly Smoker climbed aboard the boat and looked around the deck. There was no one there. Suddenly he heard the smallest noise and moved just in time to avoid an attack by a now fully concious Zoro with his three swords. Tashigi drew her sword and Smoker's hand turned to smoke.

"Sorry, but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." Zoro said, his voice dripping with sarcasm that made him sound like a smart ass. Smoker laughed.

"I have a better idea. If I arrest you you'r crew is bound to come after you." Smoker said. Zoro laughed.

"I didn't think a guy like you would stoop so low as to use hostages." Zoro said.

"I normally don't, but I will capture Straw hat." he growled. Zoro laughed again.

"You'll have to get by me first." he pulled off his bandana and tied it around his head. Smoker pulled back his fist.

"White Snake!" Smoker sent a snake of smoke at Zoro, who immeditaly cut threw it. The smoke fell apart, but then gathered back together. Zoro jumped back from the smoke and dodged the next attempt to ensare him. "White Snake." Smoker tried again. Zoro ducked from it, coming up buy slicing threw the middle and umping to the side to keep it from surrounding him. Tashigi moved forward and swung at Zoro. He easily blocked the attack, but Smoker tock the advantage to ceatch Zoro's leg in smoke. Realizing he was caught, Zoro pushed Tashigi away. Before anyone could do anything else, he sheithed all three swords and tossed them. They skidded away before Tashigi could grab them. When she went to retrive them they had dissapeared. Tashigi growled in frustation. She was sl close to having the Wado Ichimonji, and now it was gone again. Smoker quickly restrained the young man as Tashigi returned.

"Should we take the ship too?" Tashigi asked. Smoker shock his head.

"No, not until we have this one locked up, if we waste time here the others could return and it'll be difficult to capture them all. We'll come back later for the ship." Smoker said, leaving the ship while pulling a pissed off Zoro and a confused Tashigi. Zoro then gave a small smile. Neither marine noticed the figure shaking on the side of the ship, clutching all three of Zoro's swords in his hiding spot.
