Possible End; probable beginning

Note: I'm in England and One Piece hasn't got very far, so there's Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Ussopp, and Sanji. Thank you. And also, I'm only 14, take pity, it's my first story. Please Read and Review.

Chapter 2: Civilisation

Luffy stretched his arms as high as he could. After this process he decided to determine if there was any civilisation on that particular island. This wasn't the normal, calm way any ordinary person would where they would search around the island. No, he had to do this the Luffy way.

"Hello? HELLO! ANYONE AROUND?" He bellowed, not taking any notice of his docking pirate crew, Nami right in front of them.

" Maybe if you made a walking sear…" Sanji began, but was interrupted by Luffy's distinctive voice.

"I know! We'll make a walking search! I thought someone like Sanji would come up with that! Oh well.", Luffy said, gesturing for his crew to follow him. I did you imbecile, Sanji silently thought. Nami step towards her captain, saying, "I say we split up. We'll cover more ground this way. Luffy, you're the captain. You decide who's going with who and which way."

"Well that's a difficult task for our dear captain, don't you think Nami?" Zoro joked. Ussopp sniggered, Sanji smiled, but Nami found it babyish and Luffy himself stuck his tongue out.

Well, after much thinking and consideration, Luffy decided the search party groups.

"I think Zoro and Sanji go one way, and I take with me Ussopp and Nami. Is that ok with everyone?" He said, confidence in his voice.

"Sure."

"Alright."

"Absolutely."

"Nope. No way," Ussopp stated. "I'm with the Zoro and Sanji. Bigger chance of survival...if something decides to show up"

"Whatever, but we come back here if nothing is found. Got it?" Luffy said. He seemed eager to get going on another adventure. The crew agreed and they were off, Sanji, Zoro and Ussopp heading east, Luffy and Nami heading opposite.

This place wasn't anything as I'd thought it'd be, Nami wondered. There was no other ships docked, the sun was high in the sky, no lack of radiance, the sand on beach was tingling warm under their bare feet. It was like a small version of paradise. Wow! This sure beats sailing in the Going Merry for a couple of weeks, Nami thought. She predicted so far from the walk that the island was roughly a circle, the middle mostly taken over by vegetation. So far, the outer area was sandy, like a never-ending beach.

After an hour of non-stop strolling, Nami and Luffy decided to take a rest. They lay below an overhanging palm tree.

"Good idea Nami. We'll stay here for a while," Luffy said, lying down and closing his eyes. "At least it will get me off my mad hunger."

"But you ate everything just before we left the ship. Be considerate, you are the only one who has eaten," Nami said, aggravated by Luffy's lack of concern. But the rubber man was already asleep.

Figures, Nami thought.

Omak ran as fast as he could in hopes of getting back to his village as soon as possible. Got to go faster, he thought to himself. Although he knew he was exposed, he still decided to take the coast as there was no obstacles in his way. On his way home, he came across an odd-looking duo. One was asleep, a tattered, straw hat lay upon his face. He was dressed in a red vest and blue jeans rolled up to his knees. The female, much better dressed than her companion, was sitting up with her hands holding her shins and her knees holding up her head. Judging from her eyes, she must have been thinking very hard…or was just angry.

If you see any people apart from the ones her in our village, turn quietly and walk away, Omak could remember his mother saying to him. He obeyed the instruction, but as he was turning, he heard a female voice calling him.

"Hey! Excuse me?" The female had called. Omak stopped dead in his tracks. Oh no! What are they going to do to me? Omak thought, petrified.

Who is this strange boy that pops up all of a sudden? And does this mean that there is civilisation on the seemed cursed Dewer island? Find out more in next chapter.
