Usopp had finished his story, so Luffy decided it was time for introductions.

"Who are you?" he asked. My friends then introduced themselves. Luffy then tried to start introducing his crew. He pointed to Usopp and said,

"This is my sharpshooter, Usopp." This would have been normal, except five people had said Usopp. Luffy looked at us and tilted his head. He then pointed to Chopper, and said,

"This is my doctor, Chopper." This time the entire thing was said in unison. Luffy looked at us with his eyes sparkling and exclaimed,

"Join my crew!" Nami than began to reason with Luffy about not having all of us on the crew, but Luffy was, as usual, being stubborn. Eventually, Nami convinced Luffy to only have one of us join the crew. My friends asked(begged) for them to at least take us all to their world with them. Luffy agreed and settled back down looking expectantly at Usopp.

"How are we going to decide who gets to join the crew?" I asked.

"A competition!" Luffy declared, eyes sparkling again.

"Fine," Nami agreed exasperated. "We'll have a competition." Nami, un-puddled Sanji, my friends, and I sat down and started discussing the competition. In the end we decided that Melissa, Tracey, Rachel, and I would be the only ones to participate in the competition, but they would tell their other friends who like One Piece, about the chance to go to the world of One Piece. It was also decided that each current member of the crew would choose one event for the competition. In the end there would be 9 different events in the competition, and at the end the crew would vote. Instead of making the winner be decided by how many wins or points a person had, we decided that during the events and the time in between, the crew members would be able to observe us and see who they wanted as their newest crewmate. I was wondering how I was possibly going to ask my parents to let me go to a different world, when they came through my other back door.

"Do you want to go?" my mom asked. I nodded my head yes a few times. She noticed that I actually said yes, instead of doing my usual shoulder-shrug, I don't know, thing.

"Fine," was all my mom said before she and my dad returned to the house. I was grinning and feeling very happy. Nami went around and asked started asking each crew member about the event they wanted to choose, while my friends and I sat at the table and started talking.

"So what will the people not in the competition do when they get to the world of One Piece?" I asked, careful to avoid bringing up the fact that only one of us was going to be joining the Strawhat crew.

"They might split up and all do their own thing," said Melissa.

"They could make their own pirate crew," said Rachel

"Or maybe they'll look at all the cool things there," suggested Tracey.

"I'm not sure, maybe they'll check out everyone's homes," I added.

We all turned to look when we heard Nami shouting for Zoro to wake up and prodding him, not-too-gently with her foot(in short kicking him awake). Eventually, he cracked one eye open and said,

"What do you want?" Nami then proceeded to tell him what he had missed, with much annoyance and grumbling about him always missing things because of his naps. We went back to chatting. Eventually, Nami finished explaining and got her answer so she walked away from Zoro. Zoro stood up and yawned, apparently deciding to wake up, and sat down at the table my friends and I were currently sitting at. He then propped his legs up on the table and laid back in his seat.

"Oi, love cook, isn't there any sake?" Sanji told him there wasn't any sake and to stop acting so disrespectful around the ladies. Zoro only grunted in response. Sanji probably would have kicked him if Nami hadn't announced that they should start heading back to the ship before people began to wake up.

They began to head back to their ship like they came. I went and told my parents that I would we would be going to their ship. Tracey and Rachel headed over first and then Melissa and I followed. When we arrived at the ship, Melissa proceeded to stare at it with wide eyes. I couldn't blame her and even stared a little myself (I didn't get to see it too well in the dark). We snapped out of it soon and began to climb the ladder they had left down for us. As we climbed, we talked about how we couldn't believe this was happening. As soon as we reached the top of the ladder we saw our friends squealing at something, so we walked over. It turns out that Zoro and Sanji had started one of their usual fights. It was AWESOME to watch! They moved so quickly and it was so cool to see in person, what I had watched so many times. Nami soon showed up and hit the both of them on the head. It made me respect her more for her to have the confidence to come between the two of them like that.

After she had stopped the fight, she brought us to a table and had us sit down. Sanji soon arrived with plates of breakfast for us all. I usually don't eat breakfast (my stomach really doesn't like eating soon after I wake up), but I didn't want to be rude. Also, I really wanted to try some of the food Sanji made, and it smelled so good I had to take a bite. It tasted wonderful and all of my friends thought so too. After the first bite we all looked up at each other, nodded, and grinned before we began devouring the food. Nami sat at the table and ate as well, but I was too focused on the food to pay her much attention. After we finished, too soon for my liking, Sanji cleared the plates. He soon returned to the table and took a seat. We started to discuss how we would hold the events, when they would happen, and where they would take place.

Robin walked up to us with a book. She explained how she had found instances of something similar to the occurrence that had brought the Strawhats to my world. In the book it said it lasted about a month, before everything returned to the original world. We didn't know if it would let us go to their world with them, but we decided that on the day a month from now when the Strawhats would return, we would be on the Thousand Sunny with anything we wanted to try to bring along with us.
