Hello! So here's a new story of mine! Uhmmm what can I say? Oh! This is taking place right before Enies Lobby... and after Alabasta!

So I hope you enjoy?

Chapter 1: Entering! Yuki Hayashi!

"Oi Luffy! I see an island!" Usopp called out from the crows nest. He sat there criss-crossed and held binoculars in his hand happily.

"Really?!" Luffy grabbed his hat tightly on his hand and leaped towards the front of Merry, in his little seat. "I can finally eat meat!"

"Oi! Whose fault was it that all the meat was gone in one night?!" Sanji snapped at the captain, coming out of the kitchen. "Next time I'm going to get a lock for the refrigerator!"

"That doesn't sound so bad, Sanji." Nami nodded her head in agreement, while laying down on a lawn chair. "Maybe I'll give you the money for it later."

"HAI NAMI-SWAN!" The love cook cooed.

"Shut up, ero cook!" A rough voiced Zoro snapped, waking up from his nap.

"What was that Marimo?!" Sanji glared at the green-haired swordsman in anger.

"My, my... starting to fight this early already?" Robin chuckled, coming out of the women's quarters after hearing all the fuss.

"Robin! Let's look for books here!" Chopper jumped up excitedly. After talking to the archaeologist for a while, he found out they have simlar interests in books and was quite knowledgeable. The woman chuckled and nodded her head.

As the boat slowly arrived near the dock, Nami gave out the orders to who does what (even though she isn't the captain). "Okay! Robin and Chopper can go look for books and whatever! Sanji! You go look for supplies for cooking, Usopp! You're coming with me!" A groan could be heard from the crew, ignoring it, Nami continued. "Luffy! Zoro! Uh... you guys to whatever the hell you guys do..."

"YOSHA!" Luffy jumped on the edge of the rail of Merry and stretched his arm towards the island impatiently. "I'm going ahead!" He flew in a second after he released his arm. The rest of the crew watched him from a distance silently shaking their heads.

"He better not cause too much trouble." Nami sighed.

"I wonder how far he flew!" Chopper asked, his eyes gleaming.

Luffy landed in the middle of a town with a thud. Everyone jumped when they saw a pile of dust appear after a huge noise. Coming out of the dust, was just a skinny man, dusting himself off. "Maan, I gotta work on the landing!" He whined; holding his hand on his hat once again he walked around like nothing happened, completely oblivious of the townspeople's astonishment.

Among the townsmen was a woman, 18 or so. The woman had long blue hair; she was about 5'9 and some characteristics that stood out were two scars on her face. She stared at the man with the strawhat in wonder and amazement. "Where have I seen him somewhere?"

"Yuki-san!" One older man named Richard came running towards the woman, holding a WANTED poster. "That man is Straw-hat Luffy! He's a rookie pirate, trying to make something of himself!"

"Richard! Eh? That's Strawhat Luffy! No wonder!" She raised her eyebrows but then looked at the man weirdly. "He looks pretty weak to me?"

"No, no! He's strong!" The man came closer to the woman, whispering. "There's rumors that he's the one that defeated Crocodile two weeks ago!"

"NO WAY!" Her jaw dropped. Many people soon came to surround the two gossipers. "Yuki-san! Can you defeat him for us?!" They pleaded.

"Eh? Wait, guys! He didn't do anything wrong! Besides, this guy has defeated Crocodile! There's no way I-" She was cut off by yelling coming from a distance.

"YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE FOOD!" A bar owner, Mario,shouted at Luffy, who was running away with food stuff filled in his mouth.

"Sowby! Namwi dibdnt gwive be boney (sorry, Nami didn't give me money)!"

"Didn't do anything wrong?" Richard repeated, looking at Yuki.

"U-Uh... Sorry guys!" She sweat-dropped. "You know I'm not up for fighting big pirates! The more I fight, the more come!" She looked at her wrist-watch. "Besides! I have to get to the Marine Headquarters before they bitch me out!" She laughed nervously and walked away, leaving the towns-people.

"That woman..." Richard sighed. "We depend on her too much."

A little further down the street was Luffy. "Mmmm... that food was delicious." the captain murmured between mouth fulls. He patted his inflated stomach as soon as he finished and let out a huge sigh. "Now! Let's see what this town is like!"

Yuki walked towards her home/shop. Sighing, she got her keys and opened the door. The first thing you could see was many weapon stands all around. "Hm... maybe I should open up the shop later on?" As soon as she was about to step in, she was pushed by an outside force, making her fall to the ground on her arms. "What the hell?!" She cursed, immediately turning around, she swallowed her other curse words. Standing in front of her was one of the Marines Captain's subordinates.

"Oi Yuki! Isn't it time for your fees?" The man, named Kaozu smirked. He was a tall, built man with brown hair and piercing eyes, he was carrying a sword and the only noticeable flaw in the man was the fact that he was missing an arm.

"Kaozu! I paid you last week!" She jumped up and shouted. "This is not part of the agreement!"

"Oh? I don't remember?" He laughed evilly. "I never got anything from you last week? In fact, I was in vacation!"

"You bastard..." She cursed.

"You better pay up honey, or your grandfath-"

"Alright!" She snapped, not allowing the man to finish his sentence. "Wait here a minute." She nervously went to the back door of the shop, which when opened, turned to be a home. Closing the door behind her, she looked for any money she could find. "Shit! I don't have any left for right now!" She cursed to herself repeatedly. Sighing, she suddenly heard multiple voices comnig from her shop.

"Oi Ossan, what's this shop for?" A voice asked Kauzu.

"O-Ossan?" Kaozu scoffed when he looked down and his eyes widened. "You-You're Straw-hat Luffy!"

"Ah? You know me?!" Luffy grinned excitedly, looking at the man.

"Of course!" Kaozu got in a battle stance. "You're just a rookie and your bounty has increased to 100,000!"

"EHHH!?" Luffy's jaw dropped. "100,000?! SUGOI!" He suddenly cheered. "I've gotta tell Zoro and the others!"

"Not as long as I'm around!" Kauzu growled as he ran towards Luffy. The captain jumped high enough to almost hit the ceiling and then smirked. "Gomu Gomu no... PISTOL!" He punched the man out of the shop, making him fly far away. Luffy whistled as he saw how far he punched the man. "Seems like my punches are getting stronger." He gleamed.

"U-Um..." A voice came from behind the Straw-hat and Luffy turned around.

"Ah. Who are you?"

"I COULD ASK YOU THE SAME THING!" Yuki snapped. "Wait, no. I already know who you are. What do you think you are doing?!" She demanded.

"Ah? That man wanted to fight, so I punched him."

"Eh?! You punched him?!" She ran towards the door to see that Kaozu was no where in sight. "Do you know what you've just done?!"

"Not really." Luffy replied, picking his nose. "Who are you anyway?"

"Y-You just probably triggered many Marines to come here!" Yuki panicked, ignoring Luffy's question. "What should I do?!"

"Why does that matter? I'll just beat them all up." He stated, continuing to pick his nose.

"IT'S NOT THAT EASY!" She snapped once gain. "Am-Among those Marines... is a Captain! Captain Hugo! He's gonna kill you! And me!" Luffy began to laugh.

"You're funny! He won't be able to kill me, I'm strong!"

"LIKE I SAID, IT'S NOT THAT EASY! Since Kaozu saw you here, he'll definitely say it was a rebellion coming from me... and Grandfather will..." Yuki sat down on the floor and put her hands on her head.

"Well... then I'll just beat them before they can do anything!" Luffy laughed.

"YOU-!"

To be continued~

How was it?

Yes, yes... I know I always use Yuki... but atleast it's a different last name? Hahaha, well that's it for now! Until next time!
