AN: OMG! Thanks for the reviews! Oda owns One Piece i'm not creative enough to think of such a great anime. Oh and sorry for any OoCs out of Luffy and Zoro!


~Zoey's POV~

Everything went by too fast for my brain to process. First off I was in the air, with Luffy's hat in my arms. Second thing I realized I. WAS. OVER. THE. POND. And I couldn't swim.

"ZOEY!" I heard Roxas shout. But he was to far away to do anything. And with Luffy and Zoro it was risky to come save me. We weren't ready to confront them yet.

Gravity took over again and I fell into the pond with a splash. The water was a thick brownish blue under the water's surface, and it was really hard to see. I had the hat still in my hands even with my energy being drained from my body. I will still have my grip on this hat, I know it, even with zero energy.

I was starting to lose conciseness, and my lungs were starting to burn. I need oxygen, and soon was my random thought.

The water was so thick that I was barely able to make out the shape of a human being swimming towards me. I close my eyes as they reached me.

I vaguely remember the person grabbing me and pulling me towards them. Surprising this pond was very deep, and it took the person a few more minutes before we broke the surface.

I was thrown on to the shore, and I landed on my back. I coughed up some water and rolled over so I was on my hands and knees. I opened my eyes slowly. And the first thing I saw was sandal clad feet.

(AN: I'll give you three guess and the first two don't count on who this is) Also in my right peripheral vision I had Luffy's hat still in my hand, safe and sound.

Another round of coughing fits came soon after and I felt someone giving me a back rub. It was calming me down, and easing the pain of coughing up water.

"Thanks" I say to who ever was there.

"No problem." I heard the voice of my Dad. I look up and see him, he was smiling and the reason for the back rub. I look past him and saw Zoro. He was soaking wet. So Zoro was the one who saved me I thought.

I turned my attention to Luffy and sat up. I held out my hand with the hat to him. He reaches for his hat.

"Sorry that I got it wet."

He smiles at me, as he takes his hat back.

"It's ok, at least you saved it from flying away," He says then turns to Zoro "I got my hat back!" smiling the whole time.

"Yeah, but it caused trouble for her." He tells Luffy, forgetting that I was still here.

I look at Zoro. "Thanks for diving in and saving me from drowning." I say to him.

I stand up and give a short bow of my head to Zoro. He nodded his head in acknowledgment, but his eyes linger on me longer then they should have. But when I blinked to get water out of my eyes. Zoro's eyes were no longer on me, but else where. I followed his gaze and saw that they were on Roxas.

Does he sense Wado? I thought. Roxas was still by the bench that we were at earlier, but her was closer to the forest edge than anything else. The look he sent me was one of sorry. He was sorry that he wasn't the one to save me.

I just smiled at him. It was my way to say 'It's okay you tried.' And I'm sure it was, but what can you do when you have both a sword and a straw hat that belongs to two other people.

My eyes lite up. I got an idea! I turned to Luffy who was still smiling. I was about to introduce myself when Zoro spoke up.

"So you're a devil fruit user?" He asks me, in such a way that told me, he knew something was up.

"Yes, but even if I had time to use it. It doesn't work on water" I tell them "Oh and I'm Zoey." I say in a casual way.

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy." Luffy says, his hat sat atop of his head now. He was rocking back and forth on his heels.

"Roronoa Zoro, your friend keeps looking this way." Zoro points out. I look back at Roxas, with a small smile.

"You're right, well I better go." I tell them.

"Why won't he come over here?" Luffy asked, looking at Roxas. I couldn't read his expression.

"I don't know?" I say to try and get him from going over there. "Well I better go now, it was nice talking to the two of you. Maybe we'll see each other again." I say walking away from them.

When I reach Roxas I turn around and wave at them. We'll definitely will see each other soon, very soon. I thought.

Roxas and I walk away from the park. With our backs to Luffy and Zoro. What we didn't know was that they saw what we were trying to hide.

We were quite the whole time walking back to the village. We didn't bother to say anything. When we reached the village that was another story though.

"What the hell Zoey! You almost had a full blown conversation with them. And Zoro never seemed to take his eyes off of me after he first saw me. We're not ready to talk to them yet, and here you are setting it up." Roxas ranted to me.

"Sorry Roxas but I figured if I got some of the introductions out of the way it would be easier on us" I say while rubbing the back of my head, nervously.

Roxas sighs what's the point trying to talk to her he thought.

And we continue to walk through the small town, lightly chatting with each other.

~Luffy's POV: 10mins ago~

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy." I say, after I put my hat back atop of my head. Then I started rocking back and forth on my heels, looking at Zoey.

Zoey had short wild black hair, with emerald green eyes. She was wearing a black shirt with a red shirt tied over it and short blue jean shorts. On her feet were sandals that were similar to mine.

"Roronoa Zoro, your friend keeps looking this way." Zoro says, but his gaze wasn't at Zoey but her friend who was by the forest's edge.

I kept my gaze on Zoey, there was something strange about her, and I couldn't put my finger on it.

I watched as she looked back at her friend. "You're right, well I better go." Zoey tells us. I glance at her friend.

"Why won't he come over here?" I ask her. It was strange why would he not come over here? It was like he was hiding something.

"I don't know." Was Zoey's reply. She seemed to be hiding something. I shot a quick look at Zoro, he seemed to be thinking the same thing.

Zoey says her goodbyes to us and walked over to her friend.

Her friend had short blond hair, and silver eyes? It was hard to tell from were I stood. He was wearing a black shirt and semi baggy pants. It looked like he is a swordsman like Zoro.

Did I see three swords? And one of them had a white sheath? I thought.

Zoey turned around and waved at us. I waved back at her. I'm getting one of my feelings, and we're going to meet Zoey again, soon. I thought.

As they walked away Zoro and I both caught sight of a straw hat and a white sheathed sword. Both were identical to my hat and Zoro's prized sword.

Zoro and I both looked at each other. This was just too weird.

"That was a straw hat that Zoey's friend gave to her?" I asked Zoro. I may act stupid but I'm a lot smarter than I look.

"Yeah, and I could swear that was Wado Ichimonji among his swords and I thought I was the only one who used santoryu." Zoro said looking a little concerned and confused.

Zoro and I stayed by the pond for some time, after the two left. We didn't say anything for a few minutes.

"Something is weird about those two. And Zoey looks a lot like you Luffy." Zoro said after awhile.

"Really, she looks like me? Weird! Zoey's friend was wird, since he never came over here to make sure she was ok." I say, as I start walking to a bench to sit down.

"It was more of hiding something like their hat and swords. I know I heard him call her name before I got there. It looks like he really wanted to jump in and save her." Zoro said as he sat down next to Luffy.

I leaned back and pulled my hat over my eyes to keep the sun out.

"Zoro, I'm getting the feeling that we're going to be seeing Zoey and her friend a lot more." I tell him.

"Shit, and your feelings are usually right on the money too." Zoro says annoyed.

"Shi shi shi shi" I laugh, "Well we better start heading back to the ship. Nami, will be mad if we're late." I say.

I got up and Zoro followed my lead. We leave the park and head back to the ship. We're probably going to get lost along the way, knowing our luck.


Kyoko: Thanks everyone who has reviewed my story! This chapter was suprising easy for me to write. I wanted to have some interaction between the captain and the firstmate from the two crews but with that said Roxas never really got to talk to them. And plz forgive me for the oocness. it was hard and in all reality i have a few reasons for some of the oocness

1) i personally think that Luffy is alot smarter than ppl give him credit for. Sure he is an idoit but the saying 'Don't judge a book by its cover' it close to being Luffy's life story.

2) with Zoro, i've never seen anyone else use three sword style, thats unless with the imposters from the time skip and i really dont know if it was true the zoro-imposter could use three sword or not but im really not that far im the anime or manga. (in the anime im only at impel down and manga im only in like book 6 lol ya i kno sad)

3) Roxas was holding the treasured items it would have been kinda hard for them if he didn't stay in his spot.

(Trust me Roxas is very pissed at me for making him stay where he was. The only reason that im still alive is that Zoey gave a captains order not to kill me.)
