-"A lonely Pirate Life for me" -

-"A captain, whit out a Crew to command to, tis no Captain at all. He's nothing, a nobody"-

Davy Jones.

Ruler of the 7 Seven Seas.

Location.

Baraport Pier: 9:40 p.m

The Pier of Baraport, one of the most beautiful Piers, located in Baraport Island, and one of the most Trader Commercial Place in the 7 seas.

In there, looking at the sea at night was a boy, dress in blue short shorts, red shirt, and a straw hat…Monkey D. Luffy was the boy name.

A boy who had high dreams, and many adventures. He had a Special Ability…

Due to the fact of him eating a Gum Gum Fruit, his body was made of rubber.

His mighty dream was to become King of the Pirates.

But now, that dream was over. His mighty spirit was reduced big time.

He was alone. Alone cause he was kicked out by his friends…and all because he saved them.

Flashback:

The Merry Go Crew, lead by Luffy, lead and lived many awesome adventures and fights. Meet many friends. Their goal…

To find the One Piece Treasure, left by Gold Roger.

After many battles and quest, the Crew finally found the One Piece. All the time spent to find it, it was paid off. It was inside an isolated cave of a forgotten and hidden island. As they enter the cave, they saw the many treasures lying there.

They were many kind of jewels…Gold, Diamonds, Ruby's, Sapphires, etc. Piles and Piles where there.

Nami:" – (watery eyes) – Oh my God! We did it you guys, we did it. We finally found Gold Roger Treasure."

Luffy:" – (goofy smile) – WOW, we sure did. Now I can be recognize as King of the Pirates he he he"

Nico Robin:" – (southern ascent) – I never thought I could see the day we could find the treasure no one has ever done before"

Ussop:" Now that we found it…What you guys gonna do whit your share of the treasure?"

Nami:" – (Greedy eyes) – First, to pay up Arlong and free my home village. Then, to buy my way to become the best cartographic girl ever"

Sanji:" I will buy my very own floating restaurant, where I'll cook the finest dishes known to men"

Zoro:" My goal will be to buy the finest and strongest Swords in the Word. And to defeat Hawkeye Mihak to become the greatest sword man in the world"

Chopper:" My dream will be to constructed my Clinic and treat many sick peoples"

Ussop:" Say Luffy. What you gonna do whit the treasure!?"

Luffy:" Geez. I don't know. I never really cared for to get the treasure"

All:" – (shock) – WHAT!?"

Nami:" You're joking. You never wanted the Treasure!?"

Luffy:" Nope. To tell you the truth, I wanted to find the One Piece, not for the treasure or the riches, but for the challenge that it represented. Only the greatest pirates could find it, and now, since we found it, I'm now the Greatest Pirate ha ha ha ha"

Nami:" – (not believing him) – Yea, right"

As they were heading for the treasure, Luffy finds a Scroll incrassated in a skeleton.

Luffy:" Hey guys, look what I found"

Ussop:" What is it!?"

Luffy:" It's a Scroll, - (gasp) – WAIT A MINUTE. It's from Gold Roger Himself"

Chopper:" Really. What it said"

Luffy:" Humm…lets see…"

"Congratulation mateys in finding me treasure. Now me riches belong to you. But be very warned, for lying in the treasure, lurks a monster. You must be very careful and leave soon. For this monster is the most evil, dangerous and powerful thing of them all. It has been around since the beginning of time. This monster has cause Wars, Deaths and Destruction. No weapons can hurt it, no Magic can stop it. Once it gets you, you'll belong to "IT". Not even I could beat it and was dominated by IT"

Gold Roger.

King of the Pirates.

Now the Crew was nervous when they heard that:

Ussop:"- (shaking his boots) – MO…MON…MONSTER…HERE"

Nami:" – (holding her wooden Bo) – Then we better be on the look out you guys"

Zoro:" – (drawing his swords out) – No monster will stop us"

After 3 hours of inspecting the whole place:

Nami:" We search high and low, but we didn't see any monster what so ever at all"

Sanji:" – (laughing) – Perhaps it went away, or died"

Ussop:" – (happy sigh) – Thank God"

Nami:" Since there's no monster in sight, lets get the treasure"

As they were reaching the treasure, something stops them in their track.

Lying around the treasure were many skeletons, Ussop hid behind Luffy.

All the Skeletons had some clothes on and armours…they looked like Pirates, Knights, Barbarians, Vikings, etc.

Nami:" – (wide eyes) – WOOO…check it out guys"

Chopper:" – (freighted) – There…there skeleton of human beings"

Sanji:" Guess we're not the first Pirates to find the treasure"

Nico Robin:" Those clothes. Not only Pirates they are, but also of Knights, Vikings, Barbarians, and Romans. I mean, there all kind of travellers who came here before us"

Luffy:" But…what happen to them!?"

Zoro:" – (analyzing) – Hummm…by the looks of it, they look like they died fighting something, or someone. I said the beast killed them all"

All were gonna agreed to Zoro opinion when:

Chopper:" I don't think so Zoro. What ever it was, it wasn't a beast"

Zoro:" Who do you said that Chopper!?"

Chopper:" Take a close look. There are no marks of claws or nothing. All those wounds were made by a sharp blade, like from a sword"

Sanji:" A Sword! So what does that mean?"

Chopper:" I don't know. But I'll look into it"

Nami;" Forget that Chopper, lets get the treasure"

Obeying Nami advice, the crew went for the treasure. Dollar signs shown on their eyes as they were grabbing the Jewels. , -"I'm rich, I'm rich"-, it was the thought the crew had on their mind, while on Luffy mind, -"I'm Hungry"-.

As the crew was grabbing the treasure, Nami spotted a big, shinny Diamond in the wall. Her eyes wide big at the shining stone in front of her…

Nami:" – (awe) – Look at that Diamond. – (squealing in delight) – look at the size of it"

Ussop:" Wow…pretty diamond, let's get it…"

-WHAM-

Nami whack Ussop in his head whit her wooden Bo:

Ussop." – (rubbing his head) – OUCH…NAMI, WHAT GIVES!?"

Nami:" – (mean glare) – Get your dirty hands off that Diamond big nose. Its mine"

Ussop:" Okay, okay. If you want it its yours. No need to be hostile"

So he left. Afraid of been hit again by her.

Nami:" Now…come to momma, my precious he he he he"

Using all her might, she pulled the diamond off the rock wall, and laughs like crazy, whit out knowing what would happen next.

-"BROOOOM"-

An earthquake started to shake the cave, scaring the pirates.

Nami:" Huh! What's going on here?"

Ussop:" EARTHQUAKE"

Zoro:" Earthquake! But how?"

Luffy:" Oh no. GUYS, WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE"

Nami:" WHAT! NO. WERE NOT LEAVING THE TREASURE HERE"

Zoro:" SHES RIGHT. WE WORK VERY HARD TO FIND IT. NO WAY WERE LEAVING IT BEHIND"

Luffy:" BUT GUYS…"

Luffy saw the whole collapsing, while his friends didn't cared of the danger, as they were continue to fill their bags whit the treasure. Luffy had to make a big choice:

Luffy:" USSOP, GET THE SHIP READY. WERE LEAVING NOW"

Ussop:" – (saluting) – YES CAPTAIN"

Once he left:

Luffy:" Sorry you guys…GUM GUM WHIIIIIIIP"

Using his special ability, Luffy launched his arm, stretching it long and grabbing each of his friends and wrap them up:

Nami:" Huh! LUFFY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? LET ME GOOO"

Sanji:" WHAT GIVES?"

Zoro:" HEY…LET GO OF ME BRAT"

Luffy:" SORRY. BUT WERE GETTING OUT OF HERE"

Sanji:" NOOOO. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TREASURE?"

Luffy:" THERES NO TIME. WE HAVE TO SAVE OUR SELFS"

Pulling all his might, Luffy run toward the ship. Carrying his friends away:

Nami:" – (crying and stretching her arm) – NOOOO…THE TREASUREEEEEE"

Once they were all in the ship, Luffy began to control the ship and sail away from the place. The whole place was coming down. Large rocks fall from the ceiling. Luffy was carefully stirring the ship wheel, dodging every rock that fall from above and from the waves.

They manage to reach the exit. They got out right in the nick of time, as the whole island sunk to the bottom of the sea. Luffy was happy and relief that they were all save. Unfortunate, his friends didn't have the same thoughts.

Location.

Baraport Island:

The Ship of the Merry Go landed on that island to rest and stock up. Ussop stayed on the ship to sleep.

Luffy told his friends he was gonna buy some stuffs, so he left.

Nami, Zoro, Sanji and Nico Robin were still sad and piss off. Sad for loosing the treasure, and mad cause Luffy took them away from it:

Nami:" – (sad) – All that treasure, gone. All that search for the One Piece, all in vain"

Zoro:" I know. We had all that treasure in our hands, and now it's gone, for ever"

Sanji:" We were this close to make all our dreams come true, this close, and it was taking away from us"

Nami:" – (anger rising up) –And all because of Luffy. Had not been for him, we would all have that treasure right now"

Sanji:" – (nod) – Yea. That kid took us away from the treasure"

Nico Robin:" In a way, it was his fault that we lost the treasure"

Nami:" – (angry) – GRRRRRRR….Maybe…maybe he didn't wanted us to get it. Maybe he wanted all the treasure for himself"

Zoro:" Had not been such a coward brat; he would have stayed there, instead of running away"

Sanji:" You got that right."

Nami:" That brat. Why did I even bother to join him?"

The 4 of them look at each other and nod. As they came whit a decision.

30 minutes later:

Luffy came from the store whit some bags of food:

Luffy:" – (cheerful) – Hope this is enough. I can't wait to taste Sanji "Special Veggie Meal", because I am starving"

As Luffy was reaching for the ship, he saw his friends waiting for him, with their arms crossed:

Luffy:" Hey you guys. What are you all doing here?"

Something sent a big chill on his spine, as he saw their faces. They were starting at him with cold, mean eyes. He then spotted a bag in front of them lying on the floor:

Luffy:" – (nervous) – Gulp…guys! What's wrong? Huh! What's in the bag?"

Zoro:" Your stuff"

Luffy:" My stuffs! Are we taking them to the laundry or something?"

Sanji:" NO. You're gonna take your clothes, and take them away from us"

Luffy:" – (blinks) – I don't get it!"

Nami:" – (angry) – WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE. GET OUT"

Luffy:" Huh! Out. But…why?"

Nami:" CAUSE YOU CAUSE US THE TREASURE. BECAUSE OF YOU, ALL OUR HARD WORK WAS FOR NOTHING"

Zoro:" She's right. We could have been rich right now, but you took us away from that dream"

Luffy:" You're all still down about that. Hey, I'm sad too, but I didn't had a choice"

Nami:" – (venom voice) – Didn't have a choice. The Cry Baby said didn't had a choice"

Luffy:" Um…yea"

Nami:" THERE WAS A CHOICE. BUT YOU RUN AWAY LIKE A COWARD. THE REAL REASON WAS THAT YOU WANTED THE TREASURE ALL FOR YOUR SELF"

Luffy:" – (gasp) – WHAT! That's not true. My intention was to save you guys. The treasure was never my goal"

Nami:" LIAR. YOU DID WANTED THE GET THE RICHEST OF GOLD ROGER ONLY FOR YOU. YOU ARE A COWARD AND A SELFISH BOY"

Luffy:" You're wrong. Look guys, I know that we lost the treasure. But you have to understand that if we had stayed there, we would all have died. Treasures can always be look fort and found. Human life's can't…Once there lost, there lost forever."

Sanji:" What are you talking about!?"

Luffy:" Tell me Nami. Was the treasure of Gold Roger so important? Was it so much, that you were willingly to give your life away? If so…then you are a fool"

-POW-

Nami nailed Luffy in his guts with a hard punch. Even tough his body was made of rubber, he somehow felt that punch, as he twitched in pain and felt his wind nock off.

Luffy:" – (hurt-rubbing his stomach) – Nami…ugn…why you hit me!?"

Nami:" – (piss off) – HOW DARE YOU SAID THAT. OF COURSE THE TREASURE WAS SO IMPORTANT TO ME, TO US. THAT WAS THE ONLY REASON WE JOIN YOU. IT'S YOUR FAULTH WE LOST"

Zoro:" So we talk about it and voted to throw you out"

Luffy:" WHAT! But…come on guys…sniff… we're friends"

Nami:" Friends. Friends? Do you honestly believe that we want you to be your friend, after what you did to us? Thanks to you, all our sacrifice was all in vain"

Luffy:" – (head down) – I'm…I'm sorry guys"

Zoro:" SORRY. You think sorry is gonna make everything alright? Turn back the clock?"

Luffy:" – (sad whisper) – No"

Nami:" – (disgusted) – Guys, lets just leave okay. I can't stand been around here around him"

Turning their backs on him, they leave and walk toward the ship, leaving Luffy behind.

Zoro:" – (mad cursing) – That's what we get for working whit a brat playing Pirates"

Nami:" Hope I don't see him anymore"

End of Flashback:

Luffy:" – (sad sigh) – Maybe…maybe they were right. Maybe I cause them nothing but trouble. I guess I was just a kid trying to be a pirate. And the dream to become King of the Pirates was nothing more then a impossible dream for me"

He then pick up his bag and walked.

Luffy:" There's nothing for me to do now, but to return home, if I had one"

-"Dreams will never die, unless you let them"-

Luffy:" – WHAT! Who's there? Is it a ghost!?"

Luffy watched as a woman appeared in front of him in sparks. He was awe by the aura and beauty she had on her:

Daphne:" Greeting Luffy"

Luffy:" – (awe) – Woau…who are you Lady!?"

Daphne:" My name is Daphne, Keeper of the Dragon Flame, nice to meet you"

Luffy:" I am Monkey D. Luffy. You're so beautiful. Are…are you an Angel!? If so, then that means that I die and you're here to take me to heaven…right?"

Daphne giggles hard hearing Luffy statement:

Daphne:" No silly. Angel I am not, you're so funny. Listen, I'm here to ask for your help"

Luffy:" My help!? You want my help. Why?"

Daphne:" Yes. I've come from a world known as Magix"

Luffy:" Magix!? What part of the continent is located? Never heard of it. And I've been in almost all the 7 seas"

Daphne:" Magix is located not in this world…but another dimension."

Luffy:" REALLY. COOL"

Daphne:" Luffy, my world is a marvellous world, whit many kind of magical creatures. But right now, it's in danger by an evil being who's trying to be freed. If that evil succeeded, my world and those who lived there will cease to exist"

Luffy:" Really, that's too bad. But…what can I do? Why my help? There are other pirates out there, real pirates, more skilled and brave. Me. I'm just a dumb kid"

Daphne:" – (sweat voice) – Luffy. You might be young, yes, but your heart and spirit are giant. You have a heart, innocent and childless, yet pure and noble."

Luffy:" You…you mean it!?"

Daphne:" I do. You're also brave and courageous, and do anything to make your friends happy. You have things in you that no other pirate will ever have, not even Gold Roger"

Luffy:" What are those!?"

Daphne:" Kindness, Compassion, Loyalty, Funny"

Luffy" – (blush, goofy smile) – Thank you Miss. Daphne"

Daphne:" So Luffy, I ask you… Will you come whit me to Magix? Will you help me defend it?"

Luffy thought about it hard for 5 minutes:

Luffy:" – (thinking) – Hummm…Should I go? Sounds strange, yet fascinated. To go to another world, sounds like a great adventure. Besides…what reason is there for me to be here? I have no home, I have no ship, - (sad) – I have no friends"

Daphne:" Have you reach your choice Luffy?"

Luffy:" – (goofy smile) – Sure did. Count whit me. I'll go whit you"

Daphne:" – (joy) – Wonderful. I thank you Luffy"

Luffy:" So…how are we gonna to this Magix world of yours? I don't see your ship around"

Daphne:" Just take my hand, and I'll take you to my world"

Luffy:" – (confuse) – Oooookay."

When Luffy grab on Daphne hand, they were cover in a white light…then vanished. Now Luffy was heading got Magix.
