Missing Memories (One Piece) part 8: The park of wonders! Welcome to Shentin Island!

Recap: Luffy knocked the Mayor out to keep from getting himself killed. Zoro defeated Buggy's first mate acrobat Cabaji and Luffy faced off against Buggy. Buggy then told you that he and Shanks were once on the same pirate crew. Luffy then proceeded to take out Buggy, sending him flying. All rights to One Piece are to Eiichiro Oda, Shonen Jump, FUNImation, and Toei Animation.

Luffy had just finished celebrating his victory when he noticed his hat on the ground. You couldn't tell what his expression was but you had to guess he was pretty upset. "Sorry about your hat" Nami said in concern.

"Eh it's no big deal. I was able to kick Buggy's ass and I can still wear it so I'm ok for now."

She then remembered how upset he was over the hat and said "I can fix it for you later if you want."

"What was that?" Luffy said not quite hearing her right.

"Never mind!" she said in an upset tone "Could you help me split up these bags, it's too heavy for me to carry by myself.

"That's right! You are now going to join my crew!!" turning to Nami with a grin.

"Only for the time being!" she reminded him "Anyways I can give Buggy credit for his taste in treasure. He sure did have a knack for that. This is gotta be at least 10 million berries!" she said rubbing the two bags of treasure against her cheek. She then looked at Luffy and then pulled out the map of the Grand Line and held it out in front of her towards Luffy "Here you can have this. It's what you were searching for isn't it?"

"Y-You're gonna give this to me?!!" Luffy said with surprise.

"T-This is only in exchange for you saving me!" she said defensively.

"Thanks Nami! WE CAN NOW GET TO THE GRAND LINE!!" Luffy yelled in delight.

"I thinks time we got out of here" you said.

"Yeah no point staying her" Cristal said.

"Ok" Luffy said as he went over to Zoro and started patting him on the head "Hey Zoro get up we're going!"

Zoro came to and said grudgingly "You finished with everything?"

"Yep! Got the map of the Grand Line and a new navigator!" Luffy said cheerfully.

Zoro then turned to Nami and gave her a stern look then he seemed like his injuries just registered to him as he said "I-I don't feel so good!"

"Of course not! Even with all that, you guys are still monsters!" Nami said.

"Hey why are you including me in with these three?!" Luffy said defensively.

"YOU THE BIGGEST MONSTER OUT OF THEM ALL!!" Nami yelled angrily "Forget that for now and let's check to see if the Mayor is alright."

"Oh yeah I forgot all about him!"

"You there" you heard a voice in front of you say. You looked up to see that there was a big group of what you could only guess was the villagers. "You guys aren't from here. You must have noticed all of the canon fire. We were wondering if you could tell us anything about what had just happened" one of the villagers said.

"Oh good it's the villagers. I was hoping it wasn't more of Buggy's goons." Nami said in relief.

"T-The Mayor!!" a villager said as he spotted the Mayor "W-Who did this to you?!"

"I did!" Luffy said calmly. The villagers obviously didn't like that response.

"YOU MORON WHY DID YOU GO AND SAY THAT?!!" you yelled at him.

"Yeah why?!!" Nami also yelled.

"Well it's the truth" Luffy said

"But they don't know that yet!"

"You were the one who did this to our Mayor?! You'll pay for this!! Are you guys pirates?!" the villagers said.

"Yep!" Luffy said simply.

Even though you were mad at Luffy for doing that, you and Zoro couldn't help but laugh at Luffy's simple minded nature.

"JUST AS WE THOUGHT!!YOU'LL PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!!" the villagers yelled.

"THIS IS NO TIME FOR LAUGHING!!" Cristal screamed.

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU GO AND SAY THAT?!!" Nami said looking like she was going to strangle Luffy.

"But it's the truth" Luffy said defensively. He then walked over to Zoro.

"What now?" Zoro said

Luffy just grinned and said "We run!!!" He grabbed Zoro and put him on his back as he raced down the lane. Nami grabbed the two bags and ran. Cristal perched herself on your shoulder while you grabbed Zoro's swords and ran after them.

"How is it that you get into some kind of trouble?!" Nami said in anger.

"It's one of his special talents" you said.

"I like this town" Luffy said off-topic "They all like the Mayor a lot! And by the looks of it, no matter what we say they will not stop going after us! This way!" he said turning a corner sharply. Thankfully because you were a little behind him you had the time to react but Nami wasn't so lucky.

"Tell me before you do that!!" she yelled as she turned the corner and catching up to you. You the noticed that ShuShu was standing in the middle of the alley. You jumped over him without losing a step. "ShuShu?!"

"The dog?!" Luffy said clearly confused. But when you saw that he was barking at the villagers, you understood what he was doing. He was giving you time to get away. "Thanks a lot doggy!!" he called to the dog. You couldn't see it but you could tell the dog was smiling as you ran away with the villagers still blocked by ShuShu.

After a little bit of running, you finally made it to your ship. "Thank goodness ShuShu was there or else we would have been in a lot of trouble" Nami said out of breath.

"Well the important thing is that we got away safely" Luffy said still carrying Zoro.

"I guess you're right."

"Is this your ship?! It's awesome!" he said observing the boat.

"It's nothing, I just stole it from some stupid pirates."

"Who are you calling stupid?!!" you heard from the boat. You looked to see that it was the three pirates from before. "We were waiting for you!" said the first pirate.

"You know them?" Luffy said

"Yeah I guess you could say that" Nami said a little nervous.

"It's more like fate!" the first pirate said "I see that these guys are friends of yours!"

"What are you guys still doing here?" you said. They turned to see you there and looked about as white as ghosts. "I thought I told you to get lost" you said sternly. They then turned tail and ran as fast as they could away from you.

Nami looked questionably at you as she said "What did you do to them?"

"Nothing just a little persuasion" you said as you prepared to load up all of your stuff.

To Mayor

The Mayor came to and said "W-Where am I?" He then surveyed the damage of the town.

"Oh good you're awake Mayor!" said one of the villagers.

"Where are those young kids?!" The Mayor said as he just remembered what happened.

"If you mean those pirates, we scared them off of the island. I still wish we could have taken care of those pirates! If we go after them we can still catch up to them!" said the villagers.

"Shut you're mouths!!" the Mayor yelled as he got up which surprised everyone "Only I am the one to punish them!! Where are they now?!"

"I think they went towards the harbor" said a villager as the Mayor started to take off his armor.

"Coming into my village and doing whatever pleases them and they think they can get out of this scot free?!! I have a lot of things to say to them!!" the Mayor said as he ran towards where you were.

To you, Luffy, Nami, Zoro and Cristal

You were finished getting things ready and you had started to head out of with you, Nami and Cristal in the boat Nami stole and Luffy and Zoro in the boat they originally had because that boat was already crapped as it was. You asked "Hey Nami, do you really think it's a good idea to be sailing a ship with Buggy's mark on it?"

"Yeah, I think I'll change it later but for now its fine" she said.

You then heard a yell coming from the shore "HEY WAIT A MINUTE YOU YOUNG GUYS!!!" It was the mayor and by what you could tell he ran the whole way to the port and was out of breath. He then smiled with tears in his eyes as he yelled "THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!"

You all smiled at his response and Luffy shouted back "DON"T MENTION IT AND TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF OLD MAYOR GUY!!"

The Mayor thought as you sailed away "Damn them! I didn't do anything to repay them either!" He then noticed a large bag a little bit behind him.

"YOU DID WHAT?!!!" Nami screamed at Luffy "YOU LEFT THAT BAG OF TREASURE BEHIND?!!!"

"Oh so that was what I saw behind that old guy" you said with mild surprise in your voice.

"YOU MEAN YOU NOTICED IT AND DID NOTHING?!!!"

"Yeah, the town really needed it to repair their town." Luffy said simply

"THAT WAS ABOUT 5 MILLION BERRIES IN THAT SACK!!! THAT'S MY TREASURE YOU MORON!!!" she then proceeded to smack you across the head leaving a bump and to try to push Luffy's head into the water which he tried with all his might to prevent that from happening.

"I CAN'T SWIM!" Luffy said in protest.

"IF YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN I WILL MAKE SURE TO KILL YOU!!!"

Even though your head was stinging a little, you couldn't help but laugh along with Zoro and Cristal at Luffy's predicament.

"Well looks like we finally got ourselves a navigator." Zoro said as you sailed out to your next destination.

After a couple of hours, you woke up from your nap after having felt worn out with all that had happened that day. You noticed that Nami was on look out with Cristal on her shoulder, Zoro asleep still and Luffy hanging his arms over the side most likely board. You got up and walked over to Nami and asked "So do you see any land yet? It looks like Luffy is getting pretty board over there"

She turned lowering a telescope she had and said "Nope not yet and it doesn't look like we will be near one for sometime but I'll tell you when I see land"

"Thanks" you said as you went back to your spot and rummaged through your bag till you found a picture. It was a picture that you took that was with all of you in it. After looking at it for a little bit you were startled when you heard Nami shouting that she saw land.

" YES!! FINALLY!! I thought we'd never make it to port." Luffy said in excitement as you woke up Zoro.

You pulled into port and all of you looked in surprise to find that this was no ordinary island. "Welcome one and all to the Shentin Island! The island where exotic animals all over the world are shown!" said a man near the port. He then noticed your group and said with delight "Oh you must be tourists wanting to see the rare sights and for the fun activities we provide!"

"Um, no we just- "Nami tried to say but the guy interrupted her.

"Now now don't be shy! And as you came all the way here, I'm gonna give you guys complementary tickets for one time only!"

"COOL!!" Luffy shouted with glee as he followed the man.

"H-Hey wait Luffy!" Nami called in vain as she followed after him. You followed the man to the entrance of the place it looked like a really weird amusement park. It had a desert area, a field area, a bamboo forest area, a rocky plain area that had what looked like volcanoes, a safari area and an olden London like area. You along with everyone else were amazed with what you were seeing. You had never seen anything like this before and it definitely looked like a nice place to relax.

The guide must have caught your awed faces as he said "You see this place truly is a place of wonder. It has exotic places and animals not found in the east blue. It truly is a place you must see!"

"ALRIGHT!! I'm going to that plain area first!" Luffy proclaimed as he ran towards there with you guys not far behind.

"Wait Luffy!" Nami said as she stopped at the tree that Luffy was at. The area where you were looked sort of a town that was out in the country with farm houses, small houses and wind mills. "Don't you think this was a little strange that we got these tickets all of a sudden without having to pay?"

"Don't worry about it. I saw on the way in that this place was celebrating its grand opening that happened a couple of days ago." You said. You had noticed the signs that said grand opening on the sides of the entrance.

"Well as long as we are her we should enjoy this to the fullest" Zoro said

"I agree. I really need a place to stretch out and run around after that voyage here" Cristal said in approval.

"Then it's decided that today we get to relax!!" Luffy shouted in joy which was met with a resounding "AYE" from the rest of you.

"I think I'll go check out the desert area" Nami said.

"I'll go with you too. I was interested in finding out how they managed to make a desert area." You said

Zoro, Luffy and Cristal stayed behind as you two went off. Luffy decided to swing from a tree branch while Cristal ran around on the field to stretch out her legs. Zoro found a bull which was lying down to sit on but it was strange because the horns of the bull were so small. He then decided to put one of his black sheathed swords in between the bulls nose ring which it wore, his white sheathed sword on top of the bulls two horns and his last sword in between one of its legs and stomach. He then proceeded to clean his swords with a cotton ball on a stick (don't know the name of the object).

You and Nami walked towards the desert area. You asked "That reminds me. How do you know the weather and navigating so well?"

"I learned it when I was a kid. I was always interested in stuff like that" Nami said cheerfully.

"So why do resort to stealing stuff?"

You then noticed Nami's expression darken as she said in a slightly angered tone "That's not something I like to talk about."

"Sorry if I brought up any bad memories"

"It's okay you didn't know" Nami said as she returned to her cheerful self. You finally made it to the desert town in the desert area. As you both searched the town you noticed a gold mining sign placed over one of the doors of the houses which Nami immediately raced towards with money in her eyes.

"Oh are you here for the gold mining?" said the shop owner.

"Yep so where do we start?" Nami said eagerly.

"I'll show you" he said as he showed you to a mine. He led you a little ways in when you came to the end of the tunnel. "If you find anything or are done digging, come back to the shop"

"Thank you!" Nami said as the shop owner left. She then turned to you and said "You dig"

"What do you mean you dig?!" you said in protest. "Why don't you dig? You want it so bad!!"

"I am just a weak little girl and I prefer others doing the manual labor" she said innocently.

"You're a fox in a human body" you said grudgingly as you picked up the axe and went to work.

"Thank you" she said with a triumphant smile on her face.

"THAT WASN'T A COMPLEMENT!!" you yelled. After a few swings, you reached pay dirt. Nami had that money look in her eyes as she grabbed the gold. You moved it to the shop keeper.

He was surprised you even found gold in there. "I will now deduct my percentage off of your find"

"What do you mean deduct?!" Nami exclaimed not liking the sound of this one bit.

"I get a small percentage of whatever you find. And that percentage is 50% of it."

"THAT'S NOT A SMALL PERCENTAGE AT ALL!!" both you and Nami yelled.

"I stand by what I say"

"Can't you give us all the gold?" Nami said in a lustful way "I would really appreciate it if you did"

You could almost literally see his eyes transform into hearts as he said "Sure no problem in fact why don't I let you use my pig to help you carry the gold to your ship!"

"Thank you" she said as she winked to him.

As you walked away you said "Like I said before, like a fox"

When you got back to the ship, you unloaded the ship and threw away the pirate flag that was found in the cave that had a white X through it and sent the pig that strangely enough had a green scarf with white lines on it covering its head. You then headed towards the plain area only to find Zoro and Cristal still there.

"Where's Luffy?" you asked

"He went off to the safari area" Cristal said as she climbed onto Nami's shoulder. (Those two really got along well fast)

"Let's see what trouble he's got into this time" Zoro said having finished cleaning his swords.

You all headed towards the safari area to find Luffy when you saw two things race by. "What was that?!!" Nami exclaimed.

"I think it was Luffy racing a cheetah" you said. Only Luffy would try to out run a cheetah.

"Well let's go get him before he gets himself into more trouble" Zoro said.

When you finally caught up to Luffy, it looked like he had actually won the race. When he saw he shouted "Hey guys I beat the strange cat in a race!!"

"THAT'S A CHEETAH YOU MORON!!" Nami yelled.

All of you were thinking "Is this guy monster or what?"

"Alright let's go fishing!!" Luffy exclaimed.

"Fishing?!" Cristal said excitedly.

"Well you seem happy" you said. Yes, Cristal was just like any other cat and she loved fish.

You headed towards the lake that was nearby and started to fish. Luffy, you and Zoro used make shift fishing poles out of sticks and the line using wire. Nami and Cristal decided to sit and watch you guys fish. You told Cristal that you would get her a nice big fish since she wanted one so badly. After an hour or two of waiting, Luffy finally managed to get a bite.

"Oooh I think I got one!!" he said excitedly. He reeled the fish out of the water, only for it to be grabbed in a turtle's mouth. And this turtle was a pretty big one too. The turtle was too big for the line to support so it broke and the turtle swam away with its fish.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at what just happened. It was something none of you expected to happen. "Looks like you caught a big one alright Luffy!" you said while laughing. After that big of a ruckus, the fish didn't bite at all. So after giving up on the fish, you headed towards the rocky plain area.

"You said you were going to get me a fish!!" Cristal complained.

"Sorry but after the commotion, the fish got scared and ran away. I can't help it if something like that happened!" you said trying to appease her.

"NO EXCUSES!!" she yelled.

"Man getting chewed out by your cat that is sad" he said trying to make you mad.

It worked. "OH SHUT UP!!" you yelled in anger.

You finally made it to the rocky area, even though it took a while to get there. When you got there a man came over and said "Welcome to the Prehistoric land. Here we offer rides on mammoths, prehistoric food and drinks, and sites of prehistoric animals"

"SWEET! I WANNA RIDE ON THE MAMMOTH!" Luffy cheered.

"Looks like we got nothing else better to do" Zoro said.

Luffy climbed onto the first mammoth that he saw and it was a big one with a scar above its right eye. He held onto the nose which you didn't feel was a smart thing to do. You and Zoro sat on both of its massive tusks and Nami and Cristal sat on its back. The man who greeted you came over and blew a whistle which caused the mammoths to move.

"AWESOME!!" Luffy said hanging onto the mammoth's nose. After a while on the mammoth, the man stopped and let you off and you were on your way again. You were about near the London area when Luffy fell to the ground.

"You okay, Luffy?" Nami asked

"I'm so hungry!" he wined

You sweat dropped "When are you never hungry" you said.

"Oh look birds" Cristal said pointing towards the shore that had ship parked there.

Luffy looked at the birds and thought they looked like fried chicken so he ran off to try to eat one. "Luffy!! That's not a bird!! It's a penguin!!" you called after him but he didn't stop and tried to dig in to the penguin but it bashed him away. When you caught up to Luffy, you noticed something odd about the penguin. It was wearing a pirate's uniform. "Well that's weird". You then noticed there were other penguins along with that one and one of them had a pirate captain's uniform on.

"Cool! Pirate Penguins!" Luffy said cheerfully.

"Yes they are" said a voice behind one of the penguins. It was another one of the attendants of the park. "These pirate penguins are a rare site to find. They only get along with people that they like and it looks like the captain of the penguins likes you kid" pointed to Luffy. You then heard some screeches from the captain and then the attendant spoke again "It looks like he wants to have a feast with you guys"

"YES!! FOOD!!" Luffy shouted in joy.

"Sounds good we were getting pretty hungry anyway" you said

"I wonder what they will serve us?" Nami asked

"Maybe fish!" Cristal said

"Probably" Zoro said.

"LET'S PARTY!!" Luffy shouted and the feast commenced.

Zoro sat at the middle of the steps drinking grog while you, Nami and Cristal were sitting at the bottom steps eating some fish. One of the fish handed a fish to Nami and took it without question. Cristal immediately started tearing into the fish and asked the penguins to bring in more which they did. Luffy decided to eat then dance with the pirate captain. All in all, it was a great feast and when it was done, the penguins let you board the ship and look around. Zoro and Luffy decided to take a nap on the deck while you sat back against the railing and felt the sea breeze with Cristal. Nami found a monkey called a scholar monkey to entertain her by trying to draw out a map. Even though the monkey had originally intended to show Nami a thing or two about mapping, it was Nami who helped the struggling monkey and explained where he did wrong and what was the right thing to do.

After a while of that Nami got board and said "Hey Steven, wake up the guys and let's get going. We need to find out where we are gonna spend the night."

You did notice that it was getting dark and you all felt that it was best to sleep in an actual bed instead of sleeping on your two dingy ships. You then proceeded to wake up the both of them. After that you tried to decide where you were gonna sleep.

"I vote for sleeping outdoors on the plains area" Luffy suggested.

"That's fine with me" Zoro said not caring where he slept.

"THERE IS NO WAY I AM SLEEPING OUTSIDE WHEN THERE IS A PERFECTLY GOOD BED I CAN SLEEP IN!!" Nami yelled in protest.

"Hey guys, don't take this the wrong way but I gonna go with Nami on this one" you said.

Luffy looked at you with surprise and disappointment while Nami smiled with glee. "Finally someone with some common sense" she said.

"Man why did you have to side with Nami?" Luffy complained.

"Think about it. Would you wanna sleep in a place with dangerous animals or a place where someone can mug us?" you said

"Good point. I'm with you" said Cristal.

"Then it's decided!" Nami said as you headed towards the London area.

You got there around sunset and decided that you should check into a hotel first before you decided to get dinner. You checked into a small hotel near a plaza. The hotel was a small one. It had pretty much the same layout as the hotel you had been in with Zoro and Luffy. You, Zoro and Luffy had one room and Cristal and Nami had another room. After you packed the stuff you had, you went out to eat. You walked around until you found something interesting.

"Look guys! It's a restaurant with live entertainment!" Nami said with glee.

"Sounds awesome!" Luffy said.

"As long as we eat, it doesn't matter to me" Zoro said.

"You really need to get out more" you said.

"I love theatre and a show!" Cristal said excitedly.

Like most of the stuff in the park, the show was free. You found a table near the front. The announcer came onto the stage and said "Welcome to the Green Magic! Tonight's showing will be from Arjek the Hypnotist!" As he said that the curtain rose showing a man in a magicians outfit come onto the stage.

"Welcome ladies and gentleman!" he began "I will not start off tonight's show by hypnotizing someone! Do I have any volunteers?"

Luffy was almost jumping out of his chair yelling "ME!! PICK ME!!"

"How about the boy with the straw hat!" he said. Luffy raced up to the stage and stood next to the hypnotist. "I will now hypnotize this boy! Watch the golden watch!" he said swinging the gold watch "When I snap my fingers, you will turn into a vampire! One…Two….Three (he snapped his fingers)

"This can't be good" you thought and you were right. No sooner had he snapped his fingers, Luffy ran to the backstage and grabbed a captains cloak (probably because that was the only cloak).

Luffy then grabbed a piece a meat and yelled "VAMPIRES LOVE MEAT!!"

You, Nami, Cristal and Zoro yelled "THEY DO NOT!!!"

"I guess I'll have to stop him" you said then raced off towards where Luffy headed off.

"Wait Steven!" Nami called as she and the rest of the crew followed after you.

Luffy raced onto a roof top with his cap curled around him and bats flew around him. You got up to the roof and said "Luffy snap out of it!"

"I want to suck your blood!!" he said. He then threw a punch at you in which you dodged.

"Dammit! I didn't want to do this but I guess I have no choice!" you said as you turned sideways, your right foot facing to your right and your left food facing forward with your knees slightly bent and your right arm at your side and your left arm balled up in front of you .

Zoro, Nami and Cristal just arrived and noticed you and Luffy getting ready to fight. "Why is Steven trying to fight Luffy?!" Nami looking confused and distressed.

"It looks like Luffy won't calm down unless someone beats him" Zoro said. "This is going to be one interesting match."

"I will try to get that hypnotist over here as soon as possible!" Cristal said as she raced off to find him.

Luffy was the first to attack as he yelled "GUM-GUM PISTOL!!" He shot his fist at you but brushes his attack off by smacking it to the side with your left hand. This obviously angered Luffy even more as he pulled his leg back and yelled "GUM-GUM WHIP!!" The leg came towards you and you jumped out of the way just in time.

"Whoa! That was close!" you said as you narrowly avoided Luffy's kick. You had no time to dodge the next attack though as Luffy shouted while punching his arms everywhere "GUM-GUM GATLING!!!" The punches were too numerous for you to dodge them all and you slammed into the building to next to you causing it to collapse.

"STEVEN!!" Nami screamed in horror.

"Wonder if he's okay?" Zoro said calmly

"AREN'T YOU WORRIED ABOUT YOUR FRIEND?!!"

But just before Zoro could answer, Cristal appeared with the hypnotist behind him. "Hey guys I got the…WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE?!!" she screamed.

"Luffy smacked Steven into the building and it collapsed. He was doing pretty well against Luffy until then" Zoro said.

"Well that hurt" you said as you got out of the rubble.

"STEVEN!!" Nami and Cristal cried in delight as you got out of the building in one piece but still hurt pretty bad.

"I think it's time to end this!" you said as you jumped back to where Luffy was.

"You're stronger than you look!" Luffy said with a smile.

"So are you!" you said also with a smirk. "But I'm ending this now!"

Sweet! I get to have a match with Steven! Hey whose the crab guy? Next time on One Piece: Missing Memories- Devil's Tower! Luffy vs Pirate General Ganzack! I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
