I do not own One Piece; that is in the hands of Eiichiro Oda

Chapter 11- Out of control

After the incident in the crow's nest, Hunter and Zoro headed down to the deck to see a large fog surrounding them, from what Hunter could see the further in they got the darker it got. Hunter tried to look around but she couldn't see anything that was past her crews' ship.

A faint sound could be heard and Hunter decided to be safe rather than sorry, she placed her hand on her thigh, near her dagger and bent down towards her boot, just in case she had to use her back up dagger.

"What is it Hunter?" The crew had learnt her instincts were almost always right and when she got serious something was around the corner waiting.

"I hear something"

"Do you know what it could be?"Nami asked.

"It sounds like…" Hunter leant forward to make sure she was right, "Singing?"

The whole crew was stumped by the girls answer and each of them wore a face of confusion, but they soon believed her as the sound drew closer. A large ship with a horrible stench to it came into view and passed the crew, the person who Hunter heard sing earlier was in fact a skeleton with an afro.

"And I thought I'd seen it all." She muttered to herself.

As the stench became easier to bare, Hunter began to familiarize herself with it, the smell of rotted dead bodies. Just like the last time, Hunter's head pained her and she dropped to the floor holding it.

"Hunter-dear, what's the matter?" Sanji asked her, but she couldn't answer, her head throbbed even more than the last time and it became unbearable to hold back the monster that was trying to control her.

'Gihihi, finally decided to be obedient have we? Well you've been a bad girl, making friends; I see you have even developed a close relationship with the swordsman. Kill him.

Hunter rose from her spot, pushing Sanji out of the way, she could hear their calls for her but none of them meant anything. She walked towards Zoro, sadistic smile on her face and tried to slice at his arm; he blocked but gave himself a clear opening in the chest. Hunter moved her knife towards his chest and almost killed the swordsman, but he pushed her down onto the floor and removed her weapons.

She tried to release his grasp but he was too strong, 'I said kill him. And when you're done there you can kill the rest of your filthy crew.' Hunter saw he daggers, they weren't too far away, if she could turn around she would reach them. Zoro however, intended for her to stay right where she was and didn't allow her to move from her spot, he spoke to her in hopes of calming her down.

"Hunter, I know that you're trying your best, but you have to beat him. You can't let your fears take over you, if they do you'll just let him win."

Robin joined in, "You can win."

Soon after the whole crew had joined in and were trying to save Hunter.

"You guys are right, this bastard needs to go." Hunter whispered, she was still in pain but became able to resist once again. 'What, how can a stupid crew like this help you stop me.'

Hunter thought for a while, "Because I love this crew." To the others it seemed like she was talking to herself, but for Hunter, Robin and Zoro, they knew that Moriah was scared now.

After the situation had cleared up, Luffy ordered that the crew follow the ship with the skeleton. When they arrived there most of the crew, aside from Nami, Usopp and Chopper were willing to go and check out the other ship, but Zoro decided that they draw straws so a team could be chosen to go.

Nami, Sanji and Luffy had left the crew and Hunter decided to go get something to eat, Moriah's control left her feeling hungry and she wasn't very interested in a talking skeleton. She made herself a sandwich and was enjoying it until the rest of the crew decided to barge in along with an extra, very tall and very loud member.

Hunter stood up and headed outside, she didn't feel like talking and in fact just wanted to eat. She finished and rested her head against the wall behind her, she could hear the taking of her crew mates and soon after a loud shriek.

A shape emerged from the fog and, from what Hunter could see it looked like an island, she was about to get up and tell the others, when the door swung open, the skeleton, who Hunter overhead name was Brook, gawked at the sight in front of them. He leapt towards it and disappeared into the fog.

"HUNTER!" She heard her captain's voice drawing closer to her. "Where's Brook."

"Over there." Hunter pointed towards the island.

"Nami, we need our ship to go that way." Luffy pointed to Hunter who was still pointing at the island, then he ran back over to the rest of the crew. Hunter stood up after not too long and followed.

She watched as the ship turned around and headed towards the island, Franky past her at intense speed heading towards the docking system and everyone else now waited for his return, Hunter walked towards Robin. "What's going on?'

"The skeleton said something about his shadow being stolen and now Luffy is all worked up about helping him so he joins us."

"Oh…That means we are going onto that island."

"Yes we will, is something the matter?"

"No nothing, it feels strange."

Robin nodded and watched as Nami, Usopp and Chopper tried out the Merry Go, before a search party was sent out. But a wave powered through and swept the three away from the rest of the crew. The wave rocked the ship violently and Hunter had nothing to grab onto she crashed into the side of the ship and felt a wave of dizziness, she stood up and dusted herself off, looking towards the island, which the water had brought them closer to.

"Why the hell do I feel nervous about an island?"

Thank you for another mystery guest review, I really appreciate the support, electronic hugs for all. I know I changed the dialog and what happened a slight bit, cutting parts included in the anime/manga short but I don't want to waste my time typing something you've already seen or watched.

Please review

Until next time.
