Aha…. I am actually quite ASHAMED at the time it took me to update.. -_-;; I hope I didn't lose any of my darling users…? I'm still not sure about the story line… but hey, it's all good now that I did :)

Chopper stood shakily on the top of the mast, looking down the horizon of the azure sea. Unused to the slim, long legs and feminine body shape, he wobbled precariously on the edge of the bird's nest. The gentle breeze tickled his face, and he sighed in content at the sensation. The blissful peace was suddenly interrupted with a noise from below. Alarmed, he carefully bent his new legs and looked down.

Brooke and Zoro were just below the bird's nest on the main deck of the ship. They were lying on the wooden floors with a dazed expression and a long trail of blood from their noses.

Chopper started to hyperventilate. 'WAAAH! SOMEONE CALL A DOCTOR!' He ran around in circles on the bird's nest, completely unaware that the thin trail of blood increased whenever his dress lifted slightly in the wind.

Brooke, with his empty expression, quietly noted: '… I can see his panties.'

oooooooooooooooooooooo

It was about sunset when the faint outlines of Origin Island appeared on the distant horizon. Luffy had jumped in the sea, claiming that he would swim there; Zoro had followed him like a practiced ritual and dragged him out. After a change of clothes and a scolding from Nami, he had settled to sleep next to Robin, who gently covered him with a blanket.

Nami looked straight ahead to the island. 'It'll be a few days until we reach our destination…'

Franky nodded solemnly and took a sip out of his thermostat of coffee. 'We shall indeed…'

Zoro, who was still unused to Franky's change, shot him a creeped-out look.

oooooooooooooooooooooo

Brooke slowly stood up from the crow's nest and jumped down to the main deck. The sun had risen over the horizon, signifying that his was watch over.

He turned to see Nami coming out of the women's dorm. He greeted her politely, enquiring her good sleep.

Brooke could only stare when her weapon was pointing at him in an instant.

'N-nami-san?'

'Who are you, and what are you doing in our ship?' Nami stated.

Brooke struggled to understand why her cheeks started to form a blush in a situation like this.

'What do you mean? I am Brooke-'

He was interrupted with a thunder shock; and what confused him more than the fact that Nami was attacking him, was the fact that he actually FELT the thunder. He blinked, and he blinked again as he realised that he had just BLINKED. Ignoring Nami's probing questions, he stared at his hands. His new flesh-and-blood hands.

He quickly ran towards the bathroom and locked himself in as he reached it. He took a deep breath and felt a headache coming as he realised that he had lungs again. Brooke turned round slowly towards the mirror.

He couldn't help gasping.

He was human again. Not the old human himself, but a different genre altogether. Smooth, creamy skin; a well-built, toned body; soft, feathery black hair; a smooth jaw line; a pair of sharp, charcoal eyes; luscious pink lips… He was simply beautiful.

How was it? I KNOW it's really REALLY short, but that' all I can come up with at the monet :'(…. It was poor, I know ^^ Please don't bash~! Comment please beloved reader 8D
