Yeah as stated in the previous chapter (and a pretty bad cliff hanger) this is going to be about Luffy's dream. Which is about Omatsuri Island. I'd suggest you watch the movie because I am going to be skipping most of the unimportant parts and go to the parts that sting and hurt Luffy the most. Sorry Luffy. Also the movie had a rather abrupt ending, so I kind of want to end it.

Luffy tossed and turned in his hammock, sweat streaminng down his head as he had to relive the moment he had (almost) lost his nakama.

Dream start

Luffy was having fun. He was laughing and cheering up his nakama during the boat race. Zoro, Sanji, and Nami were taken out of the race, but just as the opponent thought they had won, Usopp came gliding down on mechanical wings (where the heck did he get those from?) and took out the opponent.

They were having a barbeque, and for some reason Sanji was rather upset and challenged the cook to a cooking duel. As they were cooking on the huge hot plate. He noticed Nami and Usopp acting rather strangly. Nami was cheering Sanji on, but whenever Usopp came close, she moved away. He also noticed that Robin and Chopper weren't present, but dismissed it as Chopper was a curious reindeer (come on. He's fifteen) and Robin had said something about a flower. Zoro was napping as usual when Sanji won the duel.

Everything seemed normal despite missing two crewmates, and for Nami and Usopp's disagreements, but the food was good and everyone else seemed happy. Then he heard something that he thought he would have never heard in his whole life. "Those who do not cheer me on do not deserve to eat." He turned around and stared blankly at Sanji. No matter what had happened, Sanji had never let anyone go hungry. The fact that he refused to feed someone because they didn't support him surprised him. Later, after discovering Chopper and Robin were missing, Sanji said something that struck his heart. "It was all your fault, Luffy." He felt that he had failed his crew, and himself. He had failed to keep his nakama safe.

The dream turned black.

When it started up again, he was standing in front of the Baron.

"Ossan, where's Chopper?"

"Are you refering to that horned river otter?"

"Ossan, I've got two thing to tell you. First, Chopper isn't a river otter- he's a reindeer. Second, I'll never let you hurt my nakama."

"Never let me hurt them? You had six nakama in your crew, correct? Just before you arrived, that number went down to five."

He gasped.

"What did you say?"

"Before long, the other will disappear into the Lily as well."

"What did you say?"

"Yet you say you won't let me harm them? You'll never let me hurt them?"

"Unforgivable. I WON'T FORGIVE YOU! Gomu Gomu no - "

An arrow struck his right hand, flying back, pinning his hand to the rock behind him.

"One arrow. What happened to your determined spirit?"

"Damn it!"

"While you struggle, another of your nakama is disappearing."

"STOP IT! ROBIN!"

He stretch out his left hand, trying to reach Robin as she disappeared into the Lily.

"Who will be next? I see. The cook."

"You bastard! Gomu Gomu no - "

Another arrow struck his left hand and pinned it to the same rock.

"Two arrows."

"SANJI!"

"Only three left. If you don't hurry, ther won't be anyone left."

"STOP IT! Gomu Gomu no - "

His right leg was pinned to the rock. Luffy fell over, losing his balance.

"Since you can't see, I'll just tell you. The man with the long nose just disappeared."

"USOPP!"

He strucggled, trying to get back up as he gazed towards the tip of the Lily.

"What will you do? Will you fight me with just your left leg?"

"Gomu Gomu no - "

The last of his limbs were pinned to the rock. He was now struggling to not be pulled back by the elasticity of his limbs.

"The other woman has just disappeared."

"N-Nami.."

"You can no longer move in that state. The very last of you nakama is starting to fade away."

"ZORO!"

Luffy leaned back and thrust his head out, sending it flying towards the top of the Lily. He felt several arrows graze his neck, and caught one in his mouth.

"ZORO!"

His heart shattered as his first nakama faded into the Lily, his body trapped mid-scream as he slowly disappeared from view.

"ZORO!"

Dream End

"ZORO!" He screamed and shot up in his hammock. The rest of the crew woke up and stared at the panting and sweating teen. Luffy saw that he had woken the rest of the crew. "Sorry, guys. It's just a nightmare." He told the crew. "What the hell did you wake me for?" Nami barged into the room. "Luffy had a nightmare, Nami." Robin voice verberated in the room. Everyone looked aroung, spotting the mouth that had blossomed on a hand on the door.

Everyone went back to sleep, but no matter what happened, Luffy couldn't fall asleep. Or more accurately didn't want to fall asleep. He feared the dream would just repeat itself in his head and he would end up waking the crew again, so he ended up walking to the deck to look at the stars. Sanji woke up and headed to the kitchen to make breakfast. After making it he yelled "Breakfast is redy you shit heads. Nami-swan, Robin-chan, I have prepared a delicious breakfast for you!" They all headed to the kitchen, and everyone was surprised that Luffy wasn't the first one in. In fact he was the last, and he didn't even rocket in like usual. He just stuck his hands in his pocket and strode in. "What?" he asked when he noticed everyone was staring at him. "N-Nothing" Nami mumbled.

Breakfast proceeded as usual, but something was wrong. Luffy wasn't eating with the usual vigour he had. Usually after fifteen minutes, he would finished all his food. Granted, Luffy was still eating at a fast pace, but he only finished after thirty minutes.

After they all exited the kitchen, the rest of the crew turned on him and said,"Spill. Something's not right. And it has something to do with that nightmare. So spill." Luffy gave them his trademark smile to try and reasure them. "I'm fine. Really." However, this didn't give him the result he expected.

Memories flashed though six of the eight remaining Straw Hat members. They remembered waking up on an island in their best clothes, and walking up a hill. They remebered Luffy lying on his back, his clothes in tatters, blood seeping out of the many wounds, surrounded by a bunch of strangers. They remembered Nami running down the hill, berating him for sleeping there, and Luffy looking at them, and smiling.

"I just remebered. Before we arrived at Water 7, we woke up on an island in our best clothes and no recollection of what happened. You were lying on the ground and you were rather injured." Robin said. "Yeah me too. You were so badly injured. You had holes all over your back and through you hands and feet." Chopper pipped up. "You seemed overly happy to see us too. What happened?" Nami demanded.

"It's nothing. There was just a bad guy there and I beat him up. " Luffy said. He didn't want to burden his crew with this. He had broken down that day. He had to be strong for his crew.

"You told us that then. But it is clearly something more. So spill. Now." Nami growled. "Luffy-bro is hiding something from us? So not SUPER!" Franky said.

Luffy sighed."Fine. On that day, we received a note that we should visit Omatsuri Island to prove we were pirates among pirates. We went there and played some games. But after that everyone was acting weird. Nami and Usopp were having a disagreement over something and Robin and Chopper were both missing. Sanji said "Those who do not cheer me on do not deserve to eat" and refused to give Zoro food because he was sleeping during the cooking contest."

Sanji's eyes widened at that. He knew that it wasn't like him to do that, but in his gut her knew that he had said something like that. Everyone else was shocked but kept their eyes glued to their captain.

"After Sanji discovered that Chopper and Robin were missing, he said some hurtful things. We the – "

"Hold up Luffy. What did I say?" Sanji asked. "It's fine." Luffy said. "What did I say?" Sanji questioned, but he already knew what it was. "You said "It was all your fault, Luffy." I don't hold it against you. I know something was wrong with that island that messed with our heads."

He continued, "We then continued with the games, but Nami, Sanji, Usopp and Zoro ran off on their own. After getting chased by an arrow that kept following me, I fell into a hole. There this guy called Brief told me the truth behind the island. Apparently that Baron guy lost his crew in a storm, and came to that island. He found the Lily and it recreated his crew if he fed it people."

A memory flashed in Robin's mind. She remembered the Baron leading her to the Lily and shooting her.

I exited the hole and found the Baron to ask him where Chopper was but he told me that he had died. I tried to punch him with my right hand but he used an arrow to pin it to a rock. Robin then disappeared into the flower. As Sanji disappeared, I tried to use my other hand, but he also pinned it to a rock."

Chopper's eye furrowed. He was beginning to see how he got the holes on his hand and feet, but his back? He had an image in his head of Luffy's back riddled with arrows, but….He shook his head. No. He hoped that it didn't happen.

"After he disappeared, I used my right leg but it got pinned down. I fell over as Usopp disappeared. I used my left leg, but it got shot. I had to stop myself from snapping towards the rock. I struggled as Nami disappeared. Then he said that Zoro was disappearing. So I used my head. But it was too late."

Zoro was shocked. Luffy's neck was a major weak spot. He could have died. He was faintly remembered seeing Luffy's face, an arrow droping from his mouth, as it opened in shock.

"But it was too late. My body snapped back to the rock. The Baron then asked me if I wanted to die or to be alone for the rest of my life."

Brook frowned, or would have if he had skin. He knew how it felt to live alone. He had experienced loneliness for more than fifty years.

"I didn't answer him. Then I fell into another hole and Brief patched me up. That little girl, Daisy, said that she could hear you guys, so I went back to fight him. Brief helped me by distracting the Baron and I managed to break the Lily apart. But it turned into many flying arrows. So I asked him where you guys were. That flower on his shoulder suddenly grew very big. And you guys were in it."

Usopp cringed at the thought. Even his imagination had its limits, and he knew that what Luffy saw would be worse than whatever he could think of.

"It was like you guys were trapped in the flower, with no way to scream or shout for help. Then the Baron shot all the arrows at me. A lot of them got stuck in my back and the ground was covered in arrows. I heard you guys calling for me, softly, also a bit confused. I thought I was going mad, but Daisy told me that she heard you guys too. So I walked to the Baron and asked him to give you guys back."

"That's SUPER, Luffy-bro!" Franky exclaimed. He knew that Luffy was very protective of them, seeing as he stormed Enies Lobby just to get back Robin, and respected him for it. But hearing this just made his respect for his captian increase by tenfold.

However, for the members of the Straw Hats that were actually there, all the memories came flooding back. They remembered everything – arriving on the island, playing games, turning on each other, running off, getting caught, seeing Luffy struggle, everything

"This other guy, the captain of the tearoom pirates, Papa, he shot the Lily and killed it. The arrows all disappeared. The Baron saw it die and it collapsed in a puddle of its guts. He tried to collect its parts and I saw that after loosing his nakama, he broke down. He was living in a dream world created by the Lily just to stay sane. He then tried to kill Papa. So I punched him. I think I killed him though."

Usopp look horrified as he remembered telling Nami that she only betrayed people, and remembered that slap she gave him. He also never thought that Luffy had actually killed someone. He knew that no matter the situation, Luffy would never kill, and people only died by accident. As if reading his thoughts, Zoro said, "It's okay. That was just an empty shell of the man he used to be. He was alive, but he was dead inside."

Nami had tears streaming down her face, thinking that Luffy had seen them turn against each other but still fought to get them back. She alse felt guilty for telling Usopp that he had left her to die and later slapping him.

Sanji was guilty of telling Luffy that it was his fault. After all, they all agreed to go to the island, so they were all to blame. And he refused to feed someone? He had to apologise for that. And maybe give Zoro more food at their next meal to make up for it.

Chopper grabbed Luffy's leg and cried, saying that how he almost died from blood loss and if he weren't a devil fruit user and a rubber man, he would have died.

"I'm sorry, Luffy, for - " Sanji stopped mid-sentence as the teen snapped up and smiled. "It's okay. I don't hold anything against you. Something was messing with our heads. I told you that." "But I think we must just apologise. I mean, you had to go though all of that alone, and where were we? Being entertainment for that bastard." Sanji said. "Plus, I got all of you back! Shishishishi!" Luffy laughed and grabbed the mast. "Maybe you guys should apologise to each other first." And he rocketed away.

Nami and Usopp apologised to each other and she tried to apologise to by giving him some tangerines, while he accepted and offered to fix the Climatact as some of the dials in it weren't working properly.

Sanji and Zoro set about to apologise in private (They couldn't do it in front of the others) and even had a friendly spar. Robin and Chopper followed Luffy to tell him what had happened to them, and Chopper berated him for being reckless.

Brook was playing soothing music while the rest of the crew was apologising, and Franky went to the Crow's Nest.

"This is SUPER! Island!"

Does this count as a cliff hanger? I think that this would really bring the crew together.
