I'm back!...and I'm not dead. -_-
Thank you to everyone who reviewed, it really makes me happy to read them all. :D
Gosh, this is overdue. XD But I've been so busy with this HUGE project from school...
And homework...lots of homework...
But here's the next chapter! To make up for the delay, this one is longer than usual!
Happy reading! Remember to vote on the poll in my profile! (Right now Robin is the top choice to find Zoro's logbook.)
And don't forget to review!
Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece. If I did, I wouldn't be here.

Day 61
Docked at island.
Nami was right. No humans in sight, except us.
There's a pretty big forest, with a mountain in the center of the island.
Luna is acting really hyper.
Why?
Luffy practically ordered us to go exploring. We split up into groups and headed into the forest.
Chopper, Nami, and Sanji headed off in one group. Robin, Franky, and Brooke went off together.
Me?
I'm sitting around a campfire under a tree with Luffy on my right and Usopp on my left, trying to avoid the rain.
Oh yeah, and Luna is with us.
...Luffy is chewing on a stick in his sleep.
I wonder what he thinks it is.
Slept.
Day 62
Still stuck in forest.
It rained all night and everything was soaked.
Spent whole day trudging through mud.
Luna's lucky. She can fly.
Getting closer to mountain.
Found some shed skin scraped off on a tree branch.
Maybe it's a snake's, but the last time I checked snakes usually weren't purple...
And they usually aren't as big as a tree trunk.
A purple snake as big as a tree...
Hey, is that a shed claw?
I have a feeling that wasn't a snake.
Camped between roots of a HUGE tree.
Managed to find some giant rodent thing.
Cooked said rodent for dinner.
Slept.
Day 63
Was woken up by distant roaring.
Luna nearly went crazy with excitement.
Usopp nearly fainted from fear.
When hiking, stumbled over carcass of a HUGE rodent. It must have been three times bigger than the one we caught yesterday.
Wondered briefly what killed it.
Luffy drank ALL of our water.
Now what?
I hope we find a lake or something soon...
Camped under a tree again.
Slept.
Day 64
We found a river today.
The water was slightly murky, but it was better than dehydration.
Found glistening shed scales in water.
They looked a bit like Luna's.
Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
Usopp went out to look for fruit. He ran back screaming and crying.
He said he saw a monster...
Luffy climbed a tree and saw that the river flowed from the mountain.
Decided to follow river.
Kept watch for first half of the night to look out for 'monsters'.
Slept.
Day 65
Hiked uphill towards mountain all day.
Saw this giant big red bird-like thing flying towards the mountain.
Reached foot of mountain just as the sun set.
Heard these weird growls and roars all night. Usopp was scared, Luffy was excited, and Luna...was practically going nuts and started roaring back.
Her roars don't sound scary, though. They sound pretty high-pitched.
Like squeaks...
Kept watch.
Slept.
Day 66
Last night, I was woken up by Usopp's screams. He was yelling, "We're being attacked!"
It turns out the 'attackers' were the ero-cook, the she-witch, and Chopper.
I was woken up for this?
I can't believe it.
Was grumpy all day.
Hiked up mountain.
Chopper found this cluster of eggs in a crack in the mountain.
Those eggs were BIG...about as big as Chopper.
And turquoise colored.
The ero-cook said we should cook them.
Told him the eggs probably wouldn't taste good, and would taste worse because of his terrible cooking.
Got into a fight with the ero-cook. Was stopped by the she-witch.
We keep hearing these roars. Luna became really excited and started sort of squirming around crazily.
Kept watch.
Slept.
Day 67
Was woken up by screams.
You would not believe what it was.
A HUGE GIANT RED DRAGON was hovering just above us. I think it was trying to eat Chopper.
Luffy beat it up. It flew away.
Nami realized this island is INFESTED with dragons.
That's what those roars were, and what the eggs were. Dragon eggs.
I'm glad that we didn't eat the eggs.
While we were hiking up the mountain, we met up with Franky, Robin, and Brooke.
Brooke said he'd been attacked, sort of, by a bunch of small green dragons that tried to sort of gnaw on him.
I think he's fine now.
Camped in small cave.
Hoped that no dragons would find us.
Slept.
Day 68
...what a day.
Reached top of mountain. Luffy found a tunnel that lead into said mountain and dashed into it.
Followed Luffy into mountain.
It got hotter and hotter. And when we reached the center we found...
A huge HUNGRY red dragon.
Was chased out of mountain/volcano.
Found cave behind waterfall.
Hid in cave until said red dragon went away.
Luffy wanted to explore the cave.
Went into cave and found two GIANT Lunar Serpents.
That looked exactly like Luna.
I think they were about to attack, but stopped when they saw Luna.
Luna sort of scooted over and sniffed them, then turned back and announced something REALLY surprising.
Guess who they were.
Luna's parents.
...
Hard to believe, but it's true.
It turns out that Lunar Serpent eggs have to be cooled in seawater before hatching.
It's just our luck that we HAPPENED to find Luna's egg...
So now we're staying in Luna's parents' cave.
What a day.
Slept.
Day 69
Luna's parents told us that dragons on this island didn't exactly like having humans around.
Got ready to leave island.
In thanks for taking care of Luna, Luna's parents gave us a huge chest of treasure.
I have a feeling most of it will end up with the she-witch.
We were escorted to the shore where we docked.
And you know what Luna said?
Luna told us she wanted to stay with her parents.
Luffy got mad, but Robin and Nami managed to convince him that Luna should stay.
Said goodbye to Luna.
...
I can't believe I'm saying (writing) this, but I'll miss her.
Set off from island.
Trained with weights. Made up for a week or so of lost time.
Slept...
Day 70
The dragon island disappeared from view.
...
I think someone is reading my logbook.
I have a feeling it's the ero-cook.
But how would he know where it is?
Trained.
Played cards with Chopper. Found out he's REALLY good at Go Fish.
Found a giant rat in our bathroom.
It must have stowed away before we left the dragon island.
Luffy wanted to keep it.
He changed his mind after it bit him.
...where's the rat now?
Come to think of it, the spaghetti meat sauce did taste a little off...
I think I'm going to throw up.
Slept.

I'm SO sorry I haven't updated in SUCH a long time...
Inspiration just left me. But thanks to reading a bunch of One Piece fanfics, my resolve to write has been boosted.
Have any of you read Something in the Water by Kemmasandi? It's amazing.
I'll be on vacation for a few days, so the next update will be slightly delayed, but it should be up...
Provided my teachers are merciful. Homework, how I hate thee.
Well, that article won't write itself. D:
Read and review!
