Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece, but it's fun to read.

"What the fuck Luffy," screamed Nami, "How can you allow some guy we just met to join the crew? This is just like Brook all over again!"

Sanji, now calmed down slightly, lit a cigarette and blew some smoke out saying, "She's right Luffy, we just met this guy. How do we know we can trust him? We don't even know what he can do in a fight."

Baird laughed and looked toward them saying, "I'm sorry I didn't even show you what I can do yet. I suppose I should before I can truly become your nakama."

"Alright then, we'll test you first," said Luffy, "Who wants to be the ones to fight him?"

Just as Luffy said this, Usopp and Chopper formed their arms into Xs across their chests and both said, "Count us out, he looks scary!"

Zoro started to walk forward, drawing his blades and said, "Count me in, I want a piece of this guy who thinks he can just jump onto our ship whenever he wants."

Then slowly the ranks became Baird versus Luffy, Sanji, Zoro, Brook, and Franky, with Usopp, Chopper, Nami, Robin, Pappug, Camie, and Hatchan spectating.

"Hmm…this could be quite fun," said Baird, "All of you can come at me at once if you want, I think my power will surprise you."

As he said this, all five of them charged him at one time, as Luffy yelled, "Gomu Gomu no BAZOOKA!!"

When his hands hit Baird in the stomach, his stomach became sand, and everyone but Franky and Brook got looks of shock on their faces.

"I thought there was only one of each Devil Fruit…how can he become sand" asked Nami.

"I don't know," said Robin, "I thought that was true also."

Then Luffy said, "It doesn't matter, I know how to defeat sand anyway!" As he said this he covered his hands in water and charged again. "Gomu Gomu no PISTOL!"

Then his hand hit Baird in the face, as his face became white smoke, and Baird smirked. "I have a lot of powers…try something different."

Luffy was stunned, "That is Smokey's power…how did you get it?"

"Who cares, it's my turn," said Zoro as he charged and slashed, "ONIGIRI!"

This time, Baird's whole body turned into electricity and he laughed, "I'm sorry but without kairoseki none of you can defeat me."

As he said this Sanji charged and aimed a kick at him, as Baird caught the kick in his hand, his hand became ice, and ice started to climb up Sanji's leg.

"Fine then, if you can use ice, I'll just melt you! FRESH FIRE," shouted Franky.

As the fire came from Franky's mouth, Baird put his hands in front of it and spun redirecting the fire back at Franky. As Franky dodged, Baird sat down and started laughing, "Guys, seriously, we don't need to fight, I just want to be your nakama."

The whole group fighting, (including Brook, who did nothing…lazy) sighed and sat down with the rest of the crew, staring at Baird in silence. Robin was the first to break the silence, "So then what kind of Devil Fruit do you have?"

"Ah, right, I possess the Logia Fruit," he said, "Now do you understand?"

"NO," said everyone at once, and Robin continued calmly, "Which Logia Fruit though?"

"No no no, you misunderstand, I possess THE Logia Fruit, not A Logia Fruit," said Baird, "Does that help explain it to you?"

Robin held up her hand so that nobody could scream again, "No, not really, can you try and explain it differently perhaps?"

"Hmm…OH I got it, Zoro you should understand when I tell you this, so can you put it into word that everyone else will understand" asked Baird.

"I guess, just hurry up and explain," said Zoro impatiently.

"It's like the principle forge of the other Logia Fruits…does that help," Baird asked.

"OH, I get it," said Zoro as he turned to explain to the rest, "He means that he has the original Logia Fruit, the one that all the other ones come from."

"Exactly, thank you Zoro. Basically, with that explanation, I have the power of all the Logia Fruits combined," claimed Baird

"That's weird isn't it Usopp," asked Chopper.

"Yeah, it really is weird," said Usopp, "How did you find that fruit?"

"Oh, at Raftel they have-"

"RAFTEL," screamed everyone, "You've been to Raftel?!"

"Yeah…why," asked Baird, "Is that a big deal?"

"Yeah, it's a big deal you shitty bastard," said Sanji.

"That's where the legendary treasure One Piece is, that's where all pirates strive to go," said Luffy.

"Oh, right, I went there to become Pirate King, without a crew or any nakama…I just went by myself. A friend of mine told me that 'no one is born to be alone' but I didn't believe him and went to Raftel by myself anyway. I realized when I got there that I really did need nakama," said Baird.

'No one is born to be alone?' That sounds a lot like Saul…but it couldn't be, could it? thought Robin to herself.

"I also realized when I got there, that I didn't want to become Pirate King. I realized my real dream was to help someone become Pirate King, and that's how I ended up here," stated the man that was starting to grow on everyone.

"Well then, welcome to the crew Ossan," said Luffy as he shook Baird's hand again.

"Wait," said Usopp, "We haven't let him finish explaining yet."

"Oh yeah, like I was saying at Raftel they have-"

"RAFTEL," screamed Brook by himself.

"Hey captain…what the fuck is up with the skeleton anyway," Baird asked as Sanji, Zoro, and Nami started beating the crap out of Brook for interrupting again.

"It's a Devil Fruit power," said Robin, "It brought his soul back after he died. It took him a year to find his body though, so it was just a skeleton when he found it."

"I see, that's pretty cool…well I guess I should finish my story before those three kill him again," said Baird, laughing., "Anyway, they have three trees there, the Paramecia, the Logia, and the Zoan, trees. Each one has the Paramecia, Logia, and Zoan fruit at the top. They also have all the sub-fruits on the branches of the tree, though I don't understand how they came to be spread across the world like they are. Anyway, when I got their and saw the trees, I fed an animal that a saw there a fruit from the tree, and it was a Logia type that made the animal able to become feathers, and control feathers. Which is kinda weird…but you see a lot of weird things on the Grand Line. Well, after I did that, I went to the top of the tree and got the fruit. And that's about it."

"So then, can you explain to us how you GOT to Raftel…I mean how were you able to get past the Yonkou," asked Robin.

"I snuck past them, when I was younger I was trained by the greatest assassin in the world, even better than Rob Lucci. My step-father wanted to train me to become a part of CP9 when I grew up…even though I told him I wanted to become a pirate," said Baird.

"Why did your step-father want you to be a part of the World Government, and who was your father," asked Nami.

"Well, I never knew my real father, and neither my step-father nor my mother would tell me who he was. For your other question, my step-father was a Marine, so he wanted me to follow in his footsteps," stated Baird.

"I know what that's like, only it was my grandpa that tried to turn me into a Marine," said Luffy.

With a laugh Baird said, "I met your grandfather Luffy, I met a lot of famous Marines, I could tell that your grandfather was a tough man."

The whole crew, now accepting the man, looked out at the sea, behind Baird, and saw a giant Sea King about to attack the Thousand Sunny.

"What the hell is that shitty fish doing here," yelled Sanji.

Baird turned around and laughed, "My bad, I came here all the way from Little Garden, pulling along a dinosaur I killed, hopefully the saltwater I kept it in kept it nice and fresh, I had to use my powers all the time to get it here…I just let down my guard and look what happened." As he finished saying this, the fish was impaled in the head by a spike of ice that shot from Baird's hand. He then jumped down to his boat and threw the dinosaur on top of ship and jumped back up, looking at everyone, saying, "Now we have food for a while…depending on how all of you eat."

Everyone but Baird looked at Luffy and said, "It'll be gone by the end of the day."

After scrutinizing Luffy, Usopp turned toward Baird and asked, "You were at Little Garden? Did you see Dory and Broggy?"

"Yeah I met those guys, they were pretty cool…I left as soon as I got the meat though," explained Baird.

"Wait a minute, why did you go to Little Garden from Raftel and then here, wouldn't that take a long time," asked Franky.

"Not really, I flew," said Baird as wind seemed to pick up only around him and he started to float.

"Wow, that's neat…can you take me flying sometime Baird-san," asked Chopper.

"Sure, I don't see why not," answered Baird.

"I just realized, none of us have introduced ourselves to Baird-san yet," yelled Camie from the back of the group with Pappug and Hatchan.

When Baird looked at Camie his eyes went wide with what could have either been shock or anger.

AN: YAY!! Second Chapter done…this time I did it longer…I didn't realize how short the last one was…I hope this is long enough for those that don't like short chapters. Also…cliffy! XD Review please, I don't know how quickly I'll be able to upload the next chapter, I have it pretty much mapped out in my head but I don't know if I'll be too busy or not.
