Summary- The Straw Hats arrive at an island called Jail Island in search of a rumored treasure only to find that they were lured into a trap and they are soon scattered throughout the island. After falling from the Sky Prison, Luffy meets up with a young woman named Jeanne, who reveals to him that the island was once torn apart by war and now it is being run by the Marines...along with the warden of the prison. As the crew explores the island, they learn about the island's history while making new friends and new enemies along the way.
Prologue
Footsteps through the dark hallways as they walked past the cells...his wrists bound by seastone cuffs. Two Marine soldiers walked behind him, holding rifles in their hands as they walked behind him, pointing them at his head if he happened to try any funny business. However, they were confident that he wouldn't attempt anything...for now.
"Is that him?" asked one of the prisoners, watching from the cells. "The fresh fish?"
"Yeah," answered his cellmate. "That's one of the pirates from the Worst Generation. You know, the ones causing all the commotion these days."
"Wait...you mean Straw Hat Luffy?!" asked a third prisoner.
That's right...it seemed that the impossible had finally happened: Monkey D. Luffy, the Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates...has been captured by the Marines.

THUD! Two Marine soldiers collapsed on the floor at the feet of their attacker.
"Well?" Brook asked. "How does it look, Nami?"
"Hmm..." Nami hummed as she stood before the door of a huge vault. "I could have this baby in five...no...three minutes, tops."
'Hopefully, Luffy can get away safely,' she added, mentally before she held up a Mini Transponder Snail.
"Robin?" she asked. "How's it going with you and Chopper?"

Two other Marine soldiers sat in the monitoring room, chuckling to themselves as they watched Luffy being taken down the hallway to the outside.
"Excuse me!" a voice called from behind them, causing them to glance back and see Tony-Tony Chopper...who immediately grew into his Heavy Point form, causing them to shriek in fright before they were mercilessly pummeled by the human-reindeer. As Chopper took care of them, Nico Robin walked up to a set of keys and took one of them off the wall.
"Nami, this is Robin," she said as she held up her Mini Transponder Snail. "I just got the key."
"We're all set over here!" Chopper added as he climbed up onto Robin's shoulder.
"Good," said Nami. "We should be done here, soon, too."

Luffy stopped in front of a pair of gigantic double doors, which soon opened up to reveal the sunlight, which caused him to momentarily screw his eyes shut as the light hit his face...but then he looked up and gave his usual toothy grin.
"Shishishishishi!" he laughed as he stood before two rows of soldiers...and it was soon revealed that he was standing on the roof a gigantic building...that was flying in the sky!
"Well, well," a voice spoke as Luffy stepped forward in front of two swords, "if it isn't the infamous 'Straw Hat' Luffy...welcome to Jail island. Permit me to introduce myself: I am Isaac, the warden."
Luffy looked up to see a man that had to be in his early 30s, sitting in a chair. He had wild, unruly blue hair with a streak of dirty blonde in it and he wore a pair of sunglasses over his eyes, as well as a black shirt that was buttoned over a green undershirt, black pants, and an orange tie around his neck, plus what looked like a tattered lab coat and a dark blue coat with dark brown fur trim that was draped over his shoulders like a cape. His nose was a bit long, but not quite as long as Usopp's, and he wore what looked like armor that went all the way up to his neck and his hands. It seemed that even the large scar that went down his face was metallic.
"So, you're the boss of this place, right?" asked Luffy as he kneeled down in front of the swords. "This Sky Prison you made sure is something!"
As Luffy was being prepped for his execution, Blizzard sighed as he peeked around the corner, preparing to jump out and rescue him at just the right moment.
'That moron,' the wolf-dog thought. 'I wish he'd take this crap seriously.'

"No way!"
Nami and Brook gaped at the empty vault.
"Oh, dear," Brook said. "This doesn't look good at all!"
"Guys!" Nami called as she held up the Mini Transponder Snail. "We gotta get outta here!" She then turned and ran with Brook following after her. "There was no treasure! This whole thing is a trap!"

"Sure thing, Nami," said one of the Marine soldiers...who was smoking a cigarette.
"Hmph!" another scoffed...holding three swords. "Bring it on."
"Hey! You there!"
The two soldiers turned to see many others running toward them, armed to the teeth with guns and sabers, but then, they smirked as they tore off their disguises, revealing none other than Roronoa Zoro and Sanji...who refused to go by the "Vinsmoke" name. Soon, the Straw Hat first mate was cutting down soldiers left and light while the cook kicked them away with his blazing legs. In the confusion, the two Marine soldiers that stood by Luffy decided to use this chance to attempt to execute him, now..."attempt" being the keyword. What they didn't account for was a white blur to come charging in and bite their necks in the blink of an eye.
Blizzard growled as he licked his lips, which were dripping with blood.
"Perfect timing, you guys!" Luffy called out to the remaining members of the Monster Quartet.
"Well, sure," said Blizzard. "Any later, and your head would go rolling."
"For a Sky Prison," said Zoro, "this place isn't too heavily guarded. Luffy should make out fine on his own." With that, he jumped over the edge.
"Hey, wait!" Sanji called after him, but he sighed once Zoro was out of sight. "Dammit...he's as impatient as ever."
"Luffy, we're getting outta here!" Blizzard called. "We'll meet up later, got it?"
"Yeah!" Luffy answered as a familiar hand appeared with the key, which unlocked his cuffs, causing him to grin as he stood up.
"You're not going anywhere!" shouted one of the soldiers as they charged at Luffy, who quickly made short work of them with his stretching punches, then mowed them down with a Gum-Gum Whip before he looked toward the horizon. "The others should be on their way down, soon...guess it's time for me to split!"

Down below, out at sea, the Thousand Sunny was currently under siege.
Usopp yelped as he narrowly dodged the rapid fire of a machine gun. However, it was not pirates that were firing at him...but some humanoid machines that used jets on their ankles to fly.
"Damn you!" Usopp cursed as he held up the Black Kabuto and shot an Atlas Comet at them, but the robots flew out of his range. "Crap! What the hell are these things?!"
"Here come more of them!" shouted Trafalgar D. Water Law while Jupiter stood beside him, pointing at several more robots. Jupiter panted as he tried to get up, but then he collapsed on the deck, his right hind leg bleeding from three small holes in his thigh. It seemed that the owl-dog had attempted to fight off the robots in an effort to protect his master...but the result only ended up getting him bullet-riddled.
"Let me handle these guys," said Franky as he held up his arms, which began to grow a bright light. "Franky...RADICAL BEAM!"
He soon fired the beam at the robots, which immediately flew out of the way.
"Are you kidding me?!" Franky questioned.
"These things are too fast!" Usopp shouted.
"No...they're too smart," Law added while Jupiter grunted in pain.
At that moment, the door to the Aquarium Bar opened, slightly, revealing Monkey D. Aika and her puppy, Kumi.
"Is it safe to come out, now?" Aika asked.
"LOOK OUT!" Kumi cried as she pointed at one of the robots, which immediately attempted to open fire at the two, but the girls shrieked as they closed the door.
"Never mind!" Aika shouted.

Up at the Sky Prison, Luffy had just finished off all the soldiers and was about to make his exit.
"There's no need to rush, now is there?" asked Isaac as he stood up from his chair, a cold, calculating glare in his eyes as he put on what looked like blue and gold armor on his hands and feet. "You did just get here, after all. Why not stay a while?"
NYOOM! A familiar beam of light flashed behind the warden.
"What the-?!" Luffy questioned. "That was Franky's-"
Just then, Isaac fired his metal fist at Luffy, who attempted to block it, but then, he gasped as the hand grabbed his throat...and immediately, his body fell limp.
"Ah!" Luffy cried. "W...what is this...?! Sea...stone...?!"
"You really should be more careful, Straw Hat Luffy," said Isaac, smugly as he approached Luffy while the fist floated above the floor, keeping the rubber-man suspended. "I wouldn't be too worried about your friends, if I were you...I'll make sure I'll finish you all off, together." He then reconnected the rocket fist with his own arm, then kicked Luffy in the stomach, sending him tumbling along the floor, but then Luffy managed to catch himself.
"Bastard!" he cursed, only to find that Isaac wasn't in front of him, anymore. "W-what the...where'd he go?!"
"You disappoint me, Straw Hat Luffy...in every measure."
Luffy turned around but failed to dodge or block a kick from Isaac that sent him flying.
"Power..."
BAM! Isaac leaped over Luffy and punched him in the stomach, again...and yet, he managed to rebound.
"You're pretty good, huh?!" Luffy questioned as he attempted to punch Isaac, who grabbed his wrist and sent him flying into the air.
"Speed..."
Isaac soon used the jets in his boots to fly toward Luffy, dodging his fast punches as he rose, then bashed both fists into him.
"Stamina..."
POW! He flew down, grabbed Luffy by the neck, again, and then pinned him against the stairs that led to his chair.
"AGH!" Luffy gagged as he struggled to get free. "Ugh...aah...!"
"The World Government must be doing awfully well for itself to offer 500 million Berries for a third-rate pirate like you," said Isaac.
"Warden Isaac!"
Isaac turned to see a Marine soldier run up and salute him.
"Sir!" he exclaimed. "That woman is demanding to see you, again!"
"...Hmph," Isaac scoffed, but then his sunglasses flashed before he looked down, only for Luffy to kick him away. "Rrgh!"
"Heh!" Luffy smirked as he stood up. "Now who's not being more careful?"
Isaac only glared coldly at Luffy as the wind blew.
"Well...see ya!" Luffy exclaimed as he jumped over the edge, doing a somersault before he took a diving position, descending toward an island below. "WHOOOOOO-HOOOOOO!"
After a while into his descent, Luffy began to realize that he was in a bit of a predicament.
"Hmm..." Luffy hummed as he took a cross-legged sitting position whilst in mid-fall. "At this rate, I'm gonna fall right into the drink...well! Only one thing to do! Gum-Gum BALLOON!"
Taking a big breath of air, Luffy inflated his stomach to massive size, thus slowing his fall...but then, out of nowhere, something struck him right in his back, causing him to yell in pain as he deflated and plummeted to the sea.

At the Sky Prison...Isaac's rocket fist connected with his hand, again.
"Shall we give pursuit, sir?" asked the Marine soldier behind him.
"Don't bother," Isaac answered. "This entire island is under my control." He then turned and walked away while the soldier saluted him. "Straw Hat Luffy...even if you managed to survive, I've got plenty of work here for you, here in my prison." He then gave a dark chuckle.

Meanwhile, down at a sandy beach...
"GAH!" Luffy gasped as he sat up and looked around. "Ugh...jeez...where am I?"
"Oh! You're finally awake!" a voice exclaimed.
"Ow-ow-ow!" Luffy cried as he put a hand to his back. "What the hell hit me?"
"Are you okay? You fell all the way from the Sky Prison."
Luffy looked up to see a slim young woman with yellow-green neck-length hair, a yellow blouse with a green bow at the neckline, a pair of turquoise Daisy Dukes, brown boots with lots of buckles, and an orange cape with red and white plaid stripes.
Behind her was a little boy with raggedy-looking clothes and a pot over his head as if he were using it for a helmet.
"Are you the one who saved me?" Luffy asked the woman as he stood up.
"Yes, that's right," the woman answered with a warm, friendly smile. "My name is Jeanne. What's yours?"
