"Alright let's do this guys!"

It was sundown while the Going Merry was still in the sea. Behind them, Link could barely see the maze and ahead he could barely see the next island. They were going pretty quickly as Misty said a little earlier. Mostly because of the wilds waves after exiting the maze.

The storm had came so suddenly. Misty had made sure that they wouldn't be detoured by any type of extreme weather. "For some reason, ever since I was little, whenever it rains I'd get really sweaty. If it was sunny my skin would be bright and warm. If thundering, my hair would get super frizzy and if you touched me you'd get zapped. This is why I'm a perfect meteorologist. My body can tell the climate around me even before it changes," she explained.

The storm though still came unexpectedly. It's as if the clouds instantly appeared. With them was lightning, rain, and winds. The wind was stronger than they ever witness. Johnny and Yosaku on their raft were practically swimming. The Strawhats were busy with keeping their own ship afloat. The waves seem to be going after them at all sides. Soon Luffy got weak as too much seawater splashed on him. So everybody had to work double time.

After the storm, Sanji revealed that the weather was weirder on the Grand Line. Zoro had been asleep the entire time and was confused about everyone's tiredness. "C'mon guys look alive. The sails aren't even dry what type of sailing is this?"

At night, the Going Marry finally set anchor. They reached an island of mushroom hills. Another pirate ship was there too. But so I don't have to describe this island, you'll search it up: Whiskey Peak.

The town was actually super glad to meet pirates. The mayor personally greeted each of the Strawhats. Johnny and Yosaku were asked tons of questions by fans of the crew hey we're the 'roadies'. Misty was confused at how they were that famous out of the East Blue. Zoro worried about the other crew. Luffy was distracted by all the different meat sellers. For Sanji, of course there were all the hotties. Link got to work with tons of craftsmen and blacksmiths.

The Strawhats got a free night at the most classy hotel. There they partied forever. Yosaku pulled if you know what I mean. Zoro didn't but he was drinking with other men anyways. Strangers were watching them.

After midnight at around 3 am, Zoro went out for a walk. He was looking at our ship for a little while. Then someone tried to assassinate him. Zoro deflected him into the water with his swords. From the other pirate ship, tons of men started raining down. Three tall swordsman stood in front of the army.

"We kidnapped your roadies. Now, Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro, join our crew the Bounty Hunter Pirates! We are a chain of crews under a signal flag but we hunt for many heads! This is Captain Crunch, Vice Captain Chris, and I am Grand Captain Chris! Our Admiral is as mysterious as our current prey, the head of Baroque Arts". This is when Zoro started paying attention. "We will greatly appreciate your strength. Join us-"

"Sure. But I'll be the one to take that Baroque dude's head. So instead I'll fight you all!" DOOM

"Zoro... I guess you understand we forced this town to treat you guys."

"..."

"Yes exactly! Our spies told us you just crossed over to the Grand Line during noon. This morning in the papers, your bounties were also revealed. So we forced this town, with the punishment being death, to welcome you and lower your defenses. It was a test. This is why you are exactly what we are looking for, Zoro"

"You talk about too many things I don't know about."

In a quick maneuver, Zoro beheaded all three of the captains. "Are these your strongest? Well to anyone hiding on the hill tops or the city, and everyone else here, treat me your war." DOOM

Bounty hunters, assassins, and other killers started attacking him from all sides. Zoro took out his three swords and put on his bandana thing.

He spun using Dragon Twister defeating those around him. Several more came after and he defeated those guys too. Too easily. Cannons started shooting from the mushroom hills. Zoro used several men as human shields. He took out the cannons one by one. One shot the Strawhats' hotel.

Fat Luffy immediately came out complaining about Zoro. "Dude stop moving, you're in my way," Zoro told him. Then he had a good idea. He walked on Luffy rolling his big body to crush attackers. Assassins started to use Vertical Maneuver Equipment to attack Zoro easier. He only had to cut the wires. Then Luffy purposely bounced to trip Zoro.

After Zoro fell, Luffy digested all his food in a second. He attacked Zoro with a Pistol. Zoro moved to the side, ran towards Luffy while cutting into his arm, then stomped on Luffy pinning him.

"He truly is the captain", said some people

"He just took down a devil fruit user!"

"Oh shit, you think he is one?"

Why am I in this situation?- Zoro thought.

Luffy was sitting up. Now he was all normal, even his arm had stopped bleeding. Then a big black lady appeared with pink hair. Zoro's only thought was if the brothers would accept a woman like her.

She put on brass knuckles and punched Zoro into a mountain across town. His face was practically destroyed. But he held a thumbs up. Luffy rolled away dodging a punch. She chased him and started beating him with punches. Being rubber, that didn't affect him at all. He used Gum Gum Bazooka although it only knocked her back a little. She then attacked with a suplex but Luffy flipped her over instead. Then Zoro used Twisted Night Oni Giri. His swords were curvy as he slashed through her. She was defeated.

Then the mayor came. All the assassins and bounty hunters stayed on gaurd.

"Hello I'm Igaram. I am the mayor and the true captain of this division of the Bounty Hunter Pirates. Two years ago, we took over this island and made it a tourist trap almost. We'd trap foolish fun loving pirates and then take their heads. Sometimes we would just kill the captain and force the subordinates to join us. I just needed a few more strong men and I hoped to defeat Mr. 0 with. He came several years ago and so did a terrorist group called Baroque Works. Mr. 0 was their leader but nobody knew him. So me and the princess joined his ranks just to spy of their activity. But she was killed in a mission by Mr. 0 himself. Only for choosing to spare his enemy. So I vowed vengeance and secretly joined the BHP."

"Wow that was a lot of noise you made," said Zoro cleaning his swords

"Mr. 0? He killed his own dude?"

"Now you Zoro, have come and defeated most of my crew."

"Well shit"

"No this is better as you left them still breathing. You allowed me to realize no amount of men would have even affected him. He would even slaughter all of us. That would leave my men's families in distress. Most of my men have to feed their kids with the bounty we obtain. It is hopeless. I'll never pay my promise to Vivi..."

Luffy stood up proudly smiling. "I'll find a way to help!"

"Oh you will? How?"

"By punching Mr. 0!" DOOM

"Oh thank you Strawhat! Here take my map. It'll send you straight to Alabasta! It's only three islands away. Watch out for the Baroque Works officers on those islands. I am one myself too. They're much more powerful than you, just like Ms. Monday over here. But just maybe you can win Luffy! Zoro!"

"We promise!"

"Yeah, can't wait to stab the dude"

So in the morning the Strawhats went sailing. Luffy gave Misty the map without explanation. Her only complaint was that the final island, Alabasta, was a little off course. Zoro didn't want to show his face but Sanji didn't complain. Link was disgusted that the town didn't actually sell any weapons. He started tinkering with the fire and ice wand from Hyrule anyway.

Whiskey Peak, Yoshi's Island, Drum Island, Shipwreck Island, Alabasta Kingdom

Luffy leveled up!

Zoro leveled up!
