Kyoko: Well everybody here is chapter 12 I hope you like it.

Tory: Kyo aka Kyoko does not own One Piece, Oda Eiichiro does.

~Zoey's PoV~

"Sorry about getting blood all over the decking. But I didn't think you wanted the ship to be destroyed either." Roxas said casually.

"Nice one Roxas." I shout to him.

He just smirks, while I grin.

"Great now my SUPER ship is all dirty!" Franky shouts.

We all laugh.

It had taken us about ten minutes to clean the bodies off the deck. We ended up throwing them back onto their ship, that was attached to the Sunny.

Now all that was left to do was mopping of the deck.

"Great, now its time for cleaning up the blood," Ussop complains then he turns to Roxas "Couldn't you have sliced them up a little less messy?"

Roxas looked at Ussop with an expression that said -Ah-No-.

"What did you want me to use? The back of the blade? The only one I can us the back of the blade with is Wado. My twin blades only allow me to cut, not the other away around." Roxas explains to Ussop.

"Then why didn't you use Wado?" Ussop asked.

"Faster using two-sword style than one-sword style. And they didn't deserve the three-sword style." Roxas said off-handed.

"I give up!" Ussop exaggerated, throwing his arms in the air.

It was quite amusing watching the scene.

"Lets clean up the blood before it stains the wood." Atoli said off-handedly.

"Right." We all said at the same time.

So we pulled all the mops and buckets out and started the drooling task of mopping the deck.

Mopping the deck didn't take that long since there were 13 of us doing it. Sanji and Loki couldn't help since they had dinner to make.

I remember hearing Loki asking if he could help in the kitchen. And Sanji asked if he was the cook for our group and some else. I couldn't catch it. But I'm sure it was something about cooking.

I took a quick look into the kitchen, and smiled a little.

It looked like Sanji and Loki were getting along just fine. The two of them seemed to be in sync with one another as they moved about the kitchen. It kinda reminded me of a show.

"Phew, I'm glad that UNNECESSARY task is complete now." Ussop said emphasizing the word 'unnecessary' in the process.

"Will you get over that already? It's in the past." Roxas said annoyed.

I turned to look at them. And shook my head as I made my way down the stairs to the grass deck.

"Knock it off Ussop. Roxas did us all a favor by taking out those guys before they did anything to the ship. But I'm guessing that they thought they could sneak up on you guys and try and kill you. That way they can boost their rep." Levi said with hands on her hips.

"It makes sense. We all have bounties on our heads. There would be a lot of pirates that would like to kill us." Nami said shortly after.

We were about to continue our conversation, but we were interrupted when the kitchen door opened up and Loki walked out.

"Food is ready," Loki said casually, as he pulled a cigarette out of his box.

My face split into the face splitting smile, along with Luffy.

"FOOD!" We both shouted at the same time. I was closest to the stairs and I made it to the kitchen before Luffy did. But he was right behind me.

"OH MY GOD! Their twins!" Ussop shouted from outside. I could hear groaning from outside also.

"Don't tell me Zoey is a bottomless pit too?" Nami complained.

"We're going to be out of food before we get there." Zoro mumbled while he was walked through the door.

My crew was laughing as they walked in.

"Sorry we should've warn you." Roxas said with a slight smirk on his face.

I'm not that bad...I'm I?

Luffy and I were already seated at the table but we didn't touch the food. We were waiting for the others to arrive.

Luffy sat at the head of the table and I took the other end of the table across from him. And everyone else took their seats on the sides of the table.

On my left was Atoli, Tory, Yossup, Chopper, Franky, empty seat and Zoro. Zoro ended up sitting on Luffy's right side, go figure first-mate is the Captain's right hand man.

On my right the order went like this, Roxas, Levi, Nami, Robin and Ussop.

There were three empty seats at the table. Two were for Loki and Sanji when they decided it was time for them to sit down and eat with us.

The food in front of us looked delicious! Loki's cooking was always good, but I was also looking forward to be trying Sanji's cooking.

"Sit down Loki. I can take care of the serving." Sanji said to Loki. I had to tare my eyes away from the tempting food that was in front of me. But I eyed Luffy carefully, he was looking at Sanji. I couldn't read his expression.

"I can help too, jerk," Loki responded quickly, "Why should you do all the work? Besides I helped cook the food."

"What did you call me? One you helped enough, and two you got sent to this time period. You and the rest of your group must be tired so take it easy." Sanji shot back at Loki. The cigarette looked like it was going to break.

Loki looked just as mad was Sanji did, if not more so. Loki hated it when he was told not to help with anything cooking related.

Better intervene before a fight breaks out.

"Loki, stop. Just sit down. Sanji is right, time traveling is tiring. Especially when its unexpected." I tell Loki.

Loki shot me a look that said do I really have too? I have enough energy to help server everyone.

I nodded my head.

He sighed in defeat and took a seat next to Zoro.

"Ok enough talking, lets eat before the food disappears." Zoro said as he was eyed Luffy.

"LETS EAT!" Luffy shouted, as he simultaneously grabbed and stuffed his face full of food.

Ok, I defiantly have better table manners than my dad.

The meal was beyond delicious! We knew Sanji and Loki were good but their cooking skills combined, was a whole other story.

I was eating at a slightly faster pace than everyone else and nowhere as fast as Luffy stuffing his face. I kept looking down as I ate. Something told me that I should watch my food.

"At least Zoey has table manners..." Nami mumbled.

This made me look up from my food. Just as I did I saw Luffy's hand stretch all the way across the table to my plate.

Oh, no you don't! Not MY food!

"Time Stop" I say as I point my finger at Luffy's stretched arm.

Everyone looked at me, then back at Luffy. Luffy's arm was stopped in mid air. It was still stretched across the table.

"Huh? Why won't my arm come back?" Luffy asked confused.

My crew started to laugh at Luffy's and other expressions.

"Devil Fruit?" Sanji questioned from his spot in the kitchen.

"You're arm is trapped in time Luffy. Zoey's devil fruit that she ate is called the Time-Time Devil Fruit. It allows her to control time to a degree." Atoli explained to them.

"Don't steal MY food! You still have food on your plate." I glare at Luffy.

Luffy shook his head in agreement. I smirk.

"Good. Time Rewind" I point at Luffy's arm and watch as it went in reverse back to being at Luffy's side. Then I put a piece of meat into my mouth.

"Oye, that's a interesting power, Zoey. Can't you go to the past a little bit more and stop Darius that when he got here?" Franky asked.

"Can't, I don't have that kind of power. The most I can do is stop, pause, fast forward and rewind time. I don't have the power to travel through time. That would require me to mess with not only time but space and I don't have that kinda control." I say after I finish eating my meat.

I put more food into my mouth and continued on eating.

"You never lost a fight huh, Zoey? You can't with those powers." Ussop asked.

"I don't fight with my time powers. It's boring. Besides its not an honorable way to fight." I say as I stand up from the table.

"Sanji, Loki thanks for the food it was delicious." I say as I walk over to the sink and rinse off my plate and put it in the sink.

"You're done already Zoey?" Luffy asked around a mouthful of food.

"Yep! I'm full." I say as I walk out the door.

~Roxas' PoV~

I watched as Zoey left the room. Something was off with her now that everything was set into motion. She wasn't her hyper-active self, and that usually meant she was worried about something.

"Wow, she didn't eat a lot. Here I thought she had the same appetite as Luffy." Ussop said as he got himself more food.

"We've been told that Zoey's appetite is about half of Luffy's. But we never really considered it. But Zoey really didn't eat as much as she would've any other time." Yossup said as he looked at the door.

Then he shot me a look that said is she ok?

I shot Yossup a look -I-don't-know-I-can't-read-her-mind-.

"Is she ok?" Robin asked.

"Don't know, she might be feeling the effects of time traveling now. She's more sensitive to stuff affecting time then we are. Oh that reminds me, what are we going to be doing about sleeping arrangements?" Levi asked, looking at Nami.

"We'll figure something out. Permanent sleeping arrangements won't be made until tomorrow morning. But lets get night watch set up. Zoro you got the first watch then lets see, who will be taking the second shit?" Nami said eyeing the boys.

I watched as she looked at her crew-mates, she didn't even give any of my crew-mates a glance.

She's not even going to consider us in night watch

I set my empty mug of grog down on the table. Then I look at Nami.

"I'll take second watch." I pipe up.

Nami looks at me with a look of shock.

"No that's ok, you don't need to take the second shift. I'm sure Sanji, Franky or even Ussop can take the second shift. You don't have to worry about it." Nami said to me. I studied her face, she wasn't going to get any of us do any work around here.

"No, We have to pull our share of work around here as well. This is a pirate ship not a luxury cruise. Besides it's only fair we do our share of the work instead of you guys doing it all. Plus Zoey told us before we boarded your ship that we had to help out. So I'll take the second shift." I tell Nami as I got up from the table and gather up my dishes.

I walk over and put them in the sink.

"Thanks for the meal, Sanji, Loki." Then I walk out of the room, shutting the door on my way out.

I look out at the ocean. I would have to say it was about twilight time. The sun hasn't fully set yet but it was almost there. I then looked around the ship, looking for Zoey.

Sigh

Where the hell is she? She's worried about something, but what?

I scan Sunny's deck. I didn't see any signs of Zoey on the grass deck or the upper deck. Then I looked up at the crows nest.

She's not up there.

I didn't sense anyone up there.

Then I turned my gaze back to the front of the ship. I looked at the top of the Sunny's figure head.

She's probably there.

I walk up the the figure head, and look over the edge and in between the mane of Sunny's head. I spotted Zoey sitting cross legged on the figure head.

"What's up? You're not your usually hyper self. Mind telling me what has you bothered?" I ask my captain. I rest my head in my hand as I looked at my captain.

Zoey looks over her shoulder to me.

"I'm just thinking."

"About what? Thinking and worrying are two different things, ya' know." I tell her. I lift my head up off my hand and turn around and look up at the sky.

I swear I could hear her grin.

"I'm worried about her."

Knew it she was worried

"She, can take care of herself. But it's surprising that she isn't with us. Everyone else is here but her. But I think that is what Aoura wanted. I think Aoura has other plans for her." I say still looking up at the sky.

"I think you're right but I still worry about her." Zoey said, with worry in her voice.

I smile a bit.

Kyoko: Well there is chapter 12. I hope you liked it.

Roxas: What took you so long to get this chapter out? This was a easy chapter for you to write wasn't it?

Kyoko: You know Roxas curiosity killed the cat. But I guess i could tell you. I had a surprise birthday party to throw for my friend that's what took me so long.

Roxas: oh well R&R
