Omg, I just wanna say I'm really sorry for posting this up so late! D: I've been busy with drama classes, schoolwork (homeschooled, yayz!), and a bunch of other things. Well, finally I found the time to write this! :D
Oh, and in the future, I MAY post summaries of the chapters, while I'm writing them, and then edit the chapters in.
And if anything seems confusing right now, let me just say that there are two reasons, and two solutions.
Anyways, presenting the second chapter of Family Ties! :D

-Alabasta-
Pell looked at the king confused. "What is it?" He asked, confused by the king's reaction. "B-But---" Stammered the king. Chaka looked down at the woman in Pell's arms. "That is not Princess Vivi…" He said, after looking back up at Pell. "But then who is it? Surely it cannot be…" Started Pell. He turned to look at the king. "Surely it can't-" He turned his head back to Chaka, then Cobra again. "Surely it can't be… her?"

-The Merry Go-
The crew of the Merry Go stood on deck, looking at an island in front of them with horrified expressions on their faces.
"Nami, are you absolutely positive the log pose is pointing at that?" Zolo practically asked, disgusted. "Yes…" Was Nami's response. "Any way around it?"
"No…"
"Well we're totally screwed."
What they were looking at was a huge lump of gray something, which was positioned where the island should be. No docks, no trees, just a huge lump of gray… something.
"That can't be an island." Said Sanji. "Usopp, climb up into the crow's nest and check it out." Usopp nodded, and ran to the mast. Hesitating for a moment, he climbed up. Hoisting himself into the crow's nest, from the ladder, he looked over the edge at the… thing. Not seeing anything, he bent down, grabbed some binoculars, and looked back.
Nobody could say Usopp's jaw couldn't fall 80 feet anymore.
"IT'S- IT'S" He shouted, paralyzed by fear. The others looked up. "What?" "Gahhhhhh!" Gasped Usopp.
"What!"
"GAAAHHHHH!"
"WHAT!?"
Usopp looked down at the others. "LOOK BEHIND YOU!" He yelled, pointing behind them, fear shining brightly in his voice. The others hesitated, before slowly turned around.
What was there practically paralyzed them as well.
A 100 ft. tall, 8-headed, snarling, poison-skinned, clawed, fanged, fire breathing, Neptunian.
"Holy cow that's a big fish." Said Zolo in awe. Nami whirled around to face him, a fire of utmost anger burning in her eyes. "YES IT'S A BIG FISH! NOW SIC 'EM!" She screamed, pointing at the Neptunian. "But I don't wanna." Joked Zolo in a whining tone. Nami grabbed his throat, throttling him. "KILL IT ZOLO! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" She released his throat, and dropped to her knees, tears streaming down her face. Vivi sat down, and placed her hand on Nami's shoulder. "D-Don't w-worry about it…" She said, faking calmness… or at least trying to. "We're gonna die…" Moaned Nami.
"I grilled it."
The two girls looked up, and saw the crew standing around calmly, eating some sort of meat. "YOU DID WHAT? WE HADN'T EXAMINED IT YET!" Screamed Nami, jumping to her feet, knocking Vivi away from her, and stomping up to Sanji, the one who spoke. "W-Well, you said to kill it, and I thought that maybe…"
Sanji's last words were drowned out by a shout of glee from Usopp. "THE ISLAND! THE ISLAND WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE NEPTUNIAN!" He shouted, scrambling down the ladder. "EXCILLENT! SET A COURSE… AS SOON AS WE'RE DONE EATING!" "STOP THINKING WITH YOUR STOMIC!" Yelled Zolo and Sanji, punching Luffy. "Fine, fine! Set a course!" Cried Luffy.

Pell looked back at Chaka, whom nodded. "But… What? H-How?" He gasped. Chaka shook his head, to show that he didn't know. Cobra, meanwhile, stepped up to Pell. "We need to… get a doctor…" He chocked, still shocked by her. "Then we can… ask questions…" Chaka and Pell nodded, then walked up the palace stairs.

There's the end of the chapter! :D I think you all have probably figured out who the woman is by now. ;) BUT DON'T SAY IT IN REVIEWS!!! Don't ruin the story for people who haven't figured it out. ^_^
Anyways, I hope that one was longer then the last. =\ I think it was. I'm gonna be making the chapters gradually longer, but they're short now because I only started writing things.
