CHAPTER 4-Dead Men Don't Sleep

During the time Luffy and the others were at the Amusement park, in the woods appeared a strange town made out of red stones.

The town looked ancient compared to the city next to it.

The other strange part about this town was that there was nobody there.

The only thing else there, was a sign that was covered in dust, making it impossible to read.

Suddenly, voices could be heard nearby.

A boy with green hair walked out onto the street and faced toward the city.

From that direction, two people made their way to the green haired boy.

From behind a building came a giant man with a little girl on his shoulder.

The five of them looked around, and on top of one of the building stood a purple haired boy with two swords, an orange haired girl, and the black haired boy from the hotel.

"Well, we're all here." Said the purple haired boy.

"Yep, and now we can focus on our job." Added the orange haired girl.

Suddenly, a boy with blood red hair appeared in the middle of them while wearing a black cloak with some ravens on it.

"We are all here, correct?" he said while glancing around with his right eye.

"We just said that, Captain." Said the orange haired girl bitterly.

"Sorry, I'm kinda sleepy." Said the red head boy who raised his hand to scratch the back his head.

"Now then, let's continue." The boy started.

"Lock." He said to the orange haired girl.

"Zephyr." He said at the purple haired boy.

"Gladstone." He said over to the giant man.

"Marisa." He said toward the little girl on Gladstone's shoulder.

"Dylan." The green haired boy nodded.

"Grandes." The man wearing the trench coat appeared behind him.

"And Takai." And with that, the black haired boy smirked.

"Yep, we're all here." Said the Captain.

"Now you can do your job." Said another voice from behind them.

Behind them, stood Rubio and Gregory, and Rubio was smiling.

"The job is to find this Key, right?" asked the Captain.

"Correct, "Red-Eye." Rubio said snickering.

Their Captain's hair blew to the side, revealing his left eye, which was a ruby instead of an eyeball.

"I hope you can finish this simple job." Rubio said. "Because, all I need is the Key, and you may have the Ponegylph. However, you must not kill the Key. You may however, kill the rest of them." Rubio said evilly.

"How do we know that the Key is even with them?" Red-Eye asked while turned around.

"I can tell." Rubio said with a smile and then walked away with Gregory at his heels.

The two of them barely made it to the woods when suddenly, Red-Eye said.

"Dead men tell no tale though." Rubio looked over at them and then chuckled.

"Yeah, but the reason the men died was cause they had no tales." Rubio said gleefully, and with that turned around and walked back into the woods laughing.

Red-Eye just stood there until he started to laugh a little.

"That's not what I meant, Baka." With that, everyone there started to laugh.

"Now then, with two of our siblings in their group. Which one do you think he wants?" Red-Eye asked his crew.

"It couldn't be your sibling, Captain." Lock said steadily.

"No doubt about that." Red-Eye said grinning.

"It must be mine then." Lock said, and in the light, Lock looked strangely just like Nami.

The breeze picked up, and the sign's dust blew off revealing the town's name: Dead End.
