Chapter 2- Live Bait
Quote Of The Chapter: "Even a cold person, sometimes has a warm heart."
Disclaimer: I don't know what the point behind these are but I don't own One Piece. I only own my OCs. Oda-sensei owns One Piece, so why is there any point in saying this?


On Thousand Sunny, the crew was holding course as it followed the mystery ship.

"Nami, give it a rest, he's not on board."

Zoro said as Nami ran past him the fifth time searching for Luffy.

"But what if he's just hiding, what about that?" she asked the swordsman who grinned.

"Then you would have found him and dragged him back to the deck shouting." He said as Nami glared angrily at Zoro.

"Don't worry, Nami-san!"

Sanji said as he ran over to Nami holding a glass.

"Please have a drink, you're tired from all that running." Nami took the glass and smiled.

"Thank you, Sanji-kun."

She said as Sanji's heart could be seen floating away with happiness.

"Oi, love-cook. Get back to earth already." Zoro said annoyed.

Sanji's eyes returned to normal as he glared at Zoro.

"What'd you call me, lettuce head!?"

he said through gritted teeth as Zoro and him, started fighting until Nami punched them in the side of their heads.

"Enough!" she shouted as the two fell to the ground.

"If you have time to fight, use that time to catch up with that ship!"

Nami said angrily as Sanji and Zoro quickly returned to their posts.


The ship that they were following lurched as it sailed over a wave.

"Captain! Them Straw Hats are following!" shouted the lookout.

"That's nice, they took the bait and are heading straight for us." Bell said sneering happily.

"Slow down so they can catch up, just don't go too slow or they will start suspecting!"

Bell called out as the crewmembers all shouted.

"Hai!"

Bell grinned and walked down into the prison and walked over to the sound of teeth on steel.

Luffy had waked up and was trying to escape by chewing on the bars.

"Having fun?" Bell asked jokingly.

"Who are you?" Luffy asked taking his mouth of the bar.

"The name's Bell, and your on my ship, the Musical Note." She said staring at Luffy.

"Whatever, can I go back to my ship? My nakama are waiting for me probably." Luffy asked as Bell started laughing.

"Don't worry! You'll see them again." Bell said as she lifted her flute.

"Really?" Luffy asked happily.

"But first, you're going have to be my live bait." Bell said grinning.

"Huh?" Luffy asked, and then Bell started playing a sad tune on her flute.

Luffy tilted his head in confusion, and then Bell stopped and said.

"Betrayal Heart." Luffy suddenly became limp as he slouched over.

Bell smiled, grabbed his arm and dragged him onto the deck.


The Thousand Sunny was gaining on the ship, and Zoro, Sanji, Franky, and Nami all prepared for a fight, as they got closer.

They finally reached the side of the ship and started to climb up a rope that Usopp attached to the ship.

They climbed over the railing and suddenly noticed something strange.

Nobody was on deck.

"Where is everyone?" Nami asked suspicious.

They all looked around till they suddenly heard footsteps coming toward them.

They all braced themselves, as the footsteps grew louder.

Suddenly, out came Luffy.

"Luffy?"

Nami asked surprised.

"You were here." Zoro said.

"You stupid monkey, why'd you leave?" Sanji asked angrily.

"Mugiwara!"

Franky called out happily.

Luffy walked closer until he was standing in front of Nami.

"Luffy, why'd you leave the ship?" Nami asked angrily at Luffy's blank face.

"Cause I wanted to."

Luffy said and everyone shivered as they heard his voice, which was toneless.

"There's no warmth, or happiness in his voice."

Nami thought as she continued to stare at Luffy.

"Whatever, let's just go!" Zoro said turning around.

"Yeah, come on, Luffy. Let's go eat." Sanji said over to Luffy.

"No."

Luffy said. Everyone looked at Luffy with surprise.

"What? Did he just say no?" Franky asked staring in confusing at Luffy's action.

"He turned down food, that can't be Luffy."

Sanji said with a blow of smoke.

Suddenly, Luffy smiled creepily and clapped his hands together.

"Good going!"

At that moment, all of the hidden crewmembers jumped out of hiding and attacked them.

Luffy jumped out of the way and smiled coldly again.

Zoro pulled out his swords and started to slash at the crewmembers, while Sanji kicked them away from Nami.

Franky started to shot them with his left arm while smashing them with his right.

"Luffy! What's the big idea!?"

Zoro shouted at his idiotic captain. Luffy just crouched there, not saying anything.

Zoro gritted his teeth and slashed more of the enemies.

Sanji glared over at Luffy.

"I can't believe you'd put Nami-san in danger like that!" he shouted at Luffy who was staring at him emotionless.

"Mugiwara!"

Franky shouted as he sent his right fist toward Luffy.

Luffy just stared and stopped Franky's right fist with his hand.

Franky stared at Luffy, who had never done that before.

Luffy stood up and dropped Franky's hand and ran toward Franky, and slammed his fist into his face.

Franky fell back onto the deck as everyone else just stared in surprise.

Luffy grinned coldly and started walking toward the others.

Zoro glanced behind him at the crewmembers chuckling at them as they walked backwards to avoid something.

Zoro glanced back at his Captain who had stopped in front of them and raised his arms.

Zoro and Sanji didn't even get a chance to blink before Luffy's fists collided into their faces, sending them backwards and crashing against the ship.

Nami stared horrified at Luffy.

"What's wrong with you, Luffy!?"

Nami shouted as Luffy's stared down at her.

"It won't do no good, sweetie." Bell said from behind her men.

They moved out of the way as Bell walked forward, toward Nami.

"What do you mean no good?" Nami asked glaring at Bell who merely giggled.

"I'll show you." She said as she started playing her flute.

Nami stared at her, trying to know what she was planning.

Bell stopped playing and smiled.

"Luffy,"

she began and Luffy raised his head.

Nami stared at Luffy's reaction with surprise and suddenly, she felt fear when she found out what Bell was going to do.

"Luffy, Hold Down."

Bell said grinning. Luffy's body came to life and sent his hand toward Nami who tried to avoid it, but couldn't.

Luffy's hand clamped on her arm and pulled her toward him.

Bell snickered and said with an icy voice.

"You're going to be quite the money maker."

Nami stared in horror until she was knocked out, and dragged toward the railing by Bell.

Bell looked back at the now limp Luffy.

"Coda."

She said and Luffy's body fell onto the ground as Bell's laughter rang throughout the fog.

Luffy lay on the deck, Zoro was out cold, as was Sanji, and Franky was leaned against the opposite railing.

Bell lowered a dinghy and headed toward a ship that lay nearby.

Bell smiled as she said. "It's time for the exchange."

Bell looked down at Nami and then sneered.

"To The Yggdrasil Chain."


There's Ch.2!

For those who don't know: Coda is a musical term, which means the end of a piece of music.

Every chapter, I'll be adding a quote at the top. Each one has either a hidden or an obvious meaning. It's your job to find out what it means.

Also, I'm planning in later chapters to do what I call: Origin Of Names.

I'll be explaining one of the many names for either the OCs or the towns and islands. You'll know when you see it.

Anyway, Ja ne!

See you next Monday!
