Hey, yeah, hello there reader

This story is now going through some major rehauling as we speak. It's not the stories fault but mainly my own as I never really took it seriously until now. This use to be just a jumble of semi half baked plot an new writer broken style.

So without further ado I give to you the new and improved...

OnePiece: Status Quo Pirate Style

Chapter 01

The sky is a beautiful sight to look at once you gaze pass the normal blue sitting clear at ready for everyones eyes to see. Green merging with red and gold well orange blends into purple streaked blue to give a taste of true chaos and insanity for those that can look beyond. Sighing gently at the array of color my head tilted back even farther well light green mist edged over the corners of my view. The slight pressure in the back of my head let me know my tag along had decided to take a peek out into what I call existence.

'So to what is the pleasure my dearest friend? Is the sky so striking that it awoke you from slumber?'

[Ha! As if something I once saw all the time could rise me from the deepest sleep. NO YOU IDIOT! I woke up due to the moronic being you call a twin. He is soon to be in great pain as he wishes to drive a dagger into his face. I merely had the foresight to inform you before the link between your souls went off an had us falling into the ocean.]

Blinking slowly I pulled my head back into the proper postion well rolling the words given to me over inside the madness of my mind. My darling brother was infact like that wasn't he? Always going off on his own an trying to get himself taken out by stupidity. Why he never listened to Jes I'll have to wonder forever as I at least talked with Jo every so often when he woke up to complain about something.

Sighing heavily I got up from my crate an shook my body out to wake it back up from where I'd fallen into my trance. With a final look up at the now so very blue and boring sky I headed off to find my dear wayward brother well letting the left side of my mouth curl up in a smirk.

"Hey Luffy, what are you doing with that dagger, hm?" I stared at him blankly as he started to shake an sweat under my gaze knowing in his heart of hearts that I knew what he was doing and I was not impressed. "Did you really think to leave me out of all the fun?" He slowly nodded well looking down at his feet and shuffling in place from the amount of disappointment I radiated at him.

"I wanna be a pirate but Shanks said I wasn't strong enough to be one yet so I'm gonna stab out my eye an prove I'm strong." Slowly smiling I took the dagger from his hands an turned it over with care before testing the sharpness of the blade with my right pointer finger. As I felt the metal bite into my finger the smile sharpened to match the dagger before the faint green crept out for a laugh.

"When stabbing ones self you must remember the fact any damage made shall be permanate on ones body. If you did go and stab yourself in the eye you'd be blind on that side forever leaving you not stronger but infact weaker. My advice? Aim lower an just give that face of yours a flesh wound." Turning the blade around I held it aloft for him to take back as I didn't have a good need for it at the moment.

"So you're not gonna stop me from doing it like?" I shook my head well turning to head for the Dragon Force where I know that Shanks will be at the moment as Party's Bar was quiet.

"If anything I'll be joining you in this moment as it'll build the foundation of our story. In my case I'll be giving myself the same scars as Jo has for he is the one whom I wish to surpass." As we walked up the gangplank an boarded the large three mast ship I nicked a rapier from one of the barrels set to be sold. "On to the prow, it will be the best place to give this show."

"What's a prow?" I blinked at the question well still heading to the ships fore where the carved dragons head presented the ship to all. "Oh, the figurehead!" I sighed well slipping between the banisters bars to stand near the sharp drop off to the bay beneath us.

"Hey kids! What are you doing!?" I looked up at the grunt who was heading towards us only to be jerked back by Shanks holding his shoulder.

"Hey its okay! The twirps aren't doing anything." I quirked the corner of my mouth before looking at Luffy who raised the dagger up high an showed it off.

"I'll prove I have the conviction to be a pirate an then you'll have to let me sail with you!" As he stabbed himself under the eye I lifted the sword up an looked into Jo's reflection before opening my mouth an biting down. The shouts from the running crew and the sharp burning pain as the blade cut through my cheeks fallowed me into the darkness as I placed Jo's grin on myself permantly.

A/N: So these chapters of the new improved OP:SQPS are going to be shorter as I need to rewrite all the chapters and build a good base. Also I want to thank everyone who gave me support, all of you are extremely appreciated.
