"Huh?" Gill said, expecting something slightly different from a guy who just KO'ed an entire crew of pirates, but the boy in the straw hat didn't hear. He was busy looking through all the bags of supplies in Gill's boat. Gill was just about to tell him off, despite the fact that the straw hat guy had just saved his life, when somebody from below the boat said, "Luffy you idiot!" And, soon after the insult, a green haired head appeared, followed by the body and legs. "Luffy, all this for some meat." Said the green haired man, shaking his head. Gill noticed he had three swords at his side. "I got it!" Luffy said, triumphantly holding up a wrapped piece of cooked steak. Gill stepped forward, grabbed the steak, and chucked it back in the pile of supplies. "Hey! What was that for?" Luffy said, clearly angry at his loss of meat.

"Well, let's see, you stole my food!" Gill said, realizing that the reply he would probably get would be, "I saved your life!" He was wrong. "Look how much you got! You can gimme a little!" Said the boy in the straw hat. "I got a long way to go! I need all of it!" Gill said, taking one step closer.

"Gum-Gum-" Luffy shot his arm back, about forty feet.

"Shock-Shock-" Gill put his fist back as if for a punch, and the man with the green hair stepped in between the two. Luffy's arm slowly returned to its regular length, and Gill lowered his fist. "Zolo! I was just about to clobber that kid!" Luffy said, attempting to run as Zolo pushed one hand against his forehead. "Yah, I know." Zolo said, and he was about to pick Luffy up fire man style when he saw another one of the men, only this one had two swords making an X across his back. "Devil Fruit I presume?" Said the man, speaking with authority.

Luffy immediately jumped into action, he stepped away from Gill and Zolo, and threw his foot back."Gum-Gum Stamp!" Then, his foot flew forward with blinding speed, but apparently not blinding enough. The man was almost instantly on the other side of the ship. Gill's jaw dropped, he had never seen one thing move so fast, except...Gill put the inside's of his wrists together, stuck his fingers out, and extended his arms. "Shock-Shock Lightning!" Gill yelled, as what looked like not one, but several powerful lightning bolts shot from his arms. "Wo!" Luffy exclaimed, his jaw dropping to the ground. A slow grin appeared across Zolo's face, and he lowered the swords he had previously been taking off his hip. "Fools, you really think you can defeat the great Sazae (Sa-zy)?" Said the man who appeared to be captain from the other side of the ship, his swords now in hand. "With the powers of the Dash-Dash fruit, I'm unhittable!"

"Hey! What's taking you guys so lon-oh...you need some help?" Said a man who was half way on the boat, pulling himself slowly to the deck. "Little late Sanji." Said Zolo, speaking to the man who was now all the way on the boat. Gill thought the man belonged in a restaurant somewhere, not on a pirate ship. He was wearing a nice suit, smoking a cigarette, and his eyebrows curled at the ends. Are all these people from the same place? Or is this just some kind of weirdo magnet? Gill asked himself as he looked at the well dressed man. As everyone was slightly distracted, Sazae ran forward, but he wasn't going full speed. Then, he tucked and rolled into a ball and started doing super fast summersaults.

"Dash-Dash Cannonball!" Sazae yelled as he rapidly spun forward. Luffy took evasive maneuvers. He shot his arms up to the crow's nest, and sprung up after. Zolo grabbed Luffy's foot as he flew up in the air, and followed. Gill dived to the side, but Sanji stood his ground. When the Sazae cannonball reached Sanji, he kicked it as if it had been a soccer ball. Sazae flew several feet backward, coming out of his ball shape in midair, and landing sprawled on the ground. Luffy saw this golden opportunity, and grabbing the main mast with two hands, he shot himself downward. "Gum-Gum Rocket!" Luffy yelled, before making contact with Sazae, Sazae recovered fast, he threw Luffy off him, and then charged after at inhuman speed. But before Sazae could slice Luffy to bits, Zolo fell down and landed in-between the two. Gill had thought at first that Zolo's third sword had be a spare, in case he lost one in a fight, but now he saw that Zolo had one in each hand, and one in his mouth. Gill almost laughed out loud, until he saw that Zolo was blocking all Sazae's slashes, stabs, and attacks with all three of his swords, and then Gill knew he was looking at a master. Finally, Sazae broke free from his duel with Zolo, and dashed off in another direction, coming back for Sanji, you could tell that Sazae wasn't going as fast as he previously was, due to the hits he had sustained. As Sazae ran , Sanji jumped into the air with perfect timing, attacking with a downward ax style kick from above just as Sazae was under him, but it appeared as though that had been exactly what Sazae had wanted. Sazae grabbed Sanji's foot, spun around, and threw Sanji over the side of the ship. There was a splash from below, and water spilled across the deck. Sazae then turned to face Gill, and shot forward. Gill's options raced through his head, attack, run, block, and then Gill remembered. "Shock-Shock Lightning!" Sazae didn't even flinch, thinking that Gill had missed, seeing as though he had hit the ground. The ground that had just been splashed with water. Sazae was hit with almost the full power of the attack, and he crumpled to the ground.

"Hey are you a musician? Or a doctor?" Luffy asked enthusiastically as he and Zolo walked over.

"No..." Gill answered skeptically.

"Well, that doesn't matter, you're gonna be part of our crew anyway." Luffy said matter o' factly.

"I can't, I'm on a mission." Gill said, taken off guard by Luffy's determination.

"What mission?" Asked Luffy.

"My entire island got kidnapped, I'm going to get them back." Gill said.

"And your gonna do that all by yourself huh?" Luffy said, leaning back against the rail of the ship.

"Well..." Gill said, slowly making a ball of electricity shrink and grow in his hand. It was a nervous habit.

"Look at what happened now, without us, you'd be dead."Zolo said , his swords returned to his side.

"Well...where are you guys headed?" Gill said, now asking the questions himself.

"To the Grand Line! I'm gonna be King of the pirates!" Luffy yelled, raising his arms in the air.

Gill knew how dangerous the Grand Line was, but chances are that's where pirates that had the power to kidnap a whole village would go. "All right, I'm in"

On a far away pirate ship

"Well Watson?"

"We seem to be being followed captain."

"No matter Watson, we'll simply send Lee crush them."

"I shall fetch him captain."
