Ok Mugiwara fans. Chapter 4 is now up. If this seems like it doesn't make sense don't worry. It will soon.

A few days later somewhere in the grand line...

The unpredictable waters of the grand line were rather calm at this point in time. There wasn't a cloud in the sky as far as the eye can see. The only sounds that could be heard were the occasional seagull flock in the sky, and the small waves crashing against a small boat that was currently traversing this sea. Someone looking at this boat would wonder just how this little thing was still floating on the water. Numerous parts of it, including the mast and parts of the side, were being held together with metal sheets. However, that same person could probably look at the sail and immediately cringe in fear of the owners of that same ship. The sail and the flag, which both bore the Jolly Roger wearing a straw hat, struck fear into those who saw it and at the same time invited all those who thought they stood a chance to try and take the bounties that it held.

One of those bounties was currently in the crow's nest. He had volunteered to keep an eye out for the next island, however he used this time to do one of his favorite pastimes; sleeping.

Moving on down to the deck, the blue-nosed reindeer was reading one of the latest medical books to be released to the general public, though none of it contained anything new to him.

A few feet next to him, the long-nosed sniper/temporary shipwright was currently adding a few more features to the navigator's weapon, the climatact. He made sure to remember to tell her that he would be expecting payment for this soon.

Speaking of the navigator, she was currently down below working on a few more maps. She occasionally looked up at her log pose to make sure that the ship was still pointed in the right direction.

Up above her in the ships kitchen, the cook was getting lunch ready. According to their navigator, they were still a good while away from the next island so lunch was a good idea right now.

Meanwhile on the front deck, the archaeologist was in her favorite lawn chair, reading up on some interesting ruins that were on the grand line. Some of them even contained poneglyphs, and she couldn't wait to reach them.

On the headpiece of the ship, there sat a young man facing forward towards the sea. All of the identifying marks present; the scar below his left eye he gave himself when he was little, the straw hat that was given to him by his hero and inspiration, and the big, toothy smile that was present on his bounty picture.

These are the Straw Hat Pirates; Roronoa Zoro, Tony Tony Chopper, Usopp, Nami, Sanji, Nico Robin, and Monkey D. Luffy. Although the government will say that it was Captain Smoker and the Marines that did it, these are the pirates that took out Mr. 0 Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai. These are the pirates that ended Arlongs reign as the dominant figure in east blue. These are the pirates that journeyed to Skypiea and put an end to ''God" Enel's rule. And most recently, they just entered the marines most secure base, G8, and actually escaped in one piece.

Now they were back on track and ready to head to the next island, but for now there was nothing but sea, sea, and more sea. This would have been disastrous, considering how easily Luffy gets bored, if not for...

"Oi, lunch is ready." Sanji poked his head out of the door and made his announcement.

Everyone began to file into the ships kitchen, though Luffy would be entering last after running head first into Sanji's well polished shoe. Everyone began to eat, making sure to protect as much as they could from the rubbery arms of their captain.

Once lunch was done everyone went back to their respective activities. Robin took her place in the crow's nest, Sanji went with Nami to help her tend to her tangerine grove, Usopp began telling more tall tales to Chopper, who sat back believing every word, Zoro decided to train a little more, and Luffy, retaking his place on top of the lambs head, looked out over the sea for a while before falling asleep.

An hour later, Robin spotted an island coming up over the horizon.

"Sencho-san. Wake up." She sprouted a hand next to her captain to wake him up.

"Eh, what is it Robin? Is it dinner yet?" he said sleepily.

She laughed at her captain's preoccupation with food. "No, sencho-san. There's an Island coming up."

Luffy immediately woke up. "Awesome. Oiiiiiiiii, Nami!" He called to his navigator.

She came out from her grove with Sanji literally floating behind with a basket full of tangerines. "What is it this time Luffy?" She couldn't even begin to count the number of times her captain called her for somewhat less than trivial reasons.

"Robin says we're coming up on an island," he called back.

Nami took a quick look at the log pose. "Hey Robin, which direction?"

Robin took a quick look. "A little to the right."

A smile grew across Nami's face. "Alright that's the next island. I haven't actually been there before and it doesn't have a name. All anyone really knows about it are two things. One; it's a prehistoric island Two; It takes about 5 days for the log to reset."

"Alright that's perfect. I was hoping to take a bit of a vacation anyway." The captain was nearly ecstatic.

Zoro came from the back of the ship. "What about a vacation?" Everyone soon began to turn their attention to the captain.

"Well, we haven't really had much time to just sit back and relax after we helped Vivi in Alabasta right? We've just gone from one adventure to the next ever since."

At this the entire crew minus Robin and Chopper screamed, "AND WHO'S FAULT IS THAT?"

Completely ignoring them the captain continued. "So I was thinking that once we got to the next island we stopped and forgot about everything and just had fun for a while. What do you say?"

The crew just stared in awe of their captain. He may have a childish attitude, and he may tend to rush into everything that happened, but he cared about the morale and health of his crew more than anything.

Taking the looks on their faces as a yes, he looked up at Robin. "Oi, Robin. What can you seen on the island?'

Robin took a peak through the telescope. "There looks to be a big jungle on the entire island, save for the coast, which is a rather beautiful beach. There is a big volcano right in the center of it."

The captain smiled. That was ok with him. "So Nami, are we taking a break or what?"

Nami smiled. Typical of their captain. "Chopper, a few degrees to starboard."

The captain couldn't help but smile. "Oiiiiiiiiiii, let's head to the next island, where we have our vacation.

Even if you were a mile away from the boat on either side, the only thing you could have heard from the boat was a loud, cheerful, and resounding "AYE!"

Ok It's done for now. R&R please. Also a few things. First, if i mess up any part of the story, please let me know so i can fix it. Second, I'm still accepting ideas for Vivi's Peacock string attacks. I've got a few ideas but i would really like to know what you want to see.

I'll be back soon with chap. 5 so stay tuned.
