This is an epic story that I think has a lot of potentials. I was imagining, what if the Straw Hats all meet Guts and tried to help him in his quest. Along the way, they also meet the other people on the world of Berserk and try to convince Guts that there is good in the world and people that you can rely on while hunting for Griffin.

At the New World.

The Thousand Sunny was sailing all calm for a few days. No pirates, no marines, nor any group tried to attack the straw Hat pirates for a while, which was a relief. Ever since Jinbei entered in the crew he hasn't experienced anything serious or crazy yet since Wano. They didn't know if this was lucky or not.

''Hey guys how about we make a stop?" Asked Luffy to his crew.

''Where do you wanna go Luffy?" Asked Chopper

''How about that huge island. It seems cool.'' Said Luffy.

The crew saw on what Luffy was pointing at, it was what appears to be a large island. It also had a dark forest with no idea on where it ends.

''Man, that looks scary.'' Said Franky.

''Do you think we can go to another stop?" Asked Nami scared.

''No, by my guess we will be taking the sea nonstop for days.'' Said Jinbei.

''So, I guess we have no choice.'' Said Usopp all sad.

''Yes.'' Said Chopper all sad.

''So, let's start preparing the ship. I wanna see that island.'' Said Robin.

The crew soon started to go for the direction of the island, sailing at full force and preparing the ship to dock.

''Ok, lets just go to the nearest town grab whatever we need, and we leave. Go it?" asked Sanji.

''Yes, and fast too.'' Said Usopp trembling.

''Are you ok Jinbei?" Asked Nami to the fishman.

''Yes, I just don't know what to expect when going to an island with you guys, I am new to this whole thing.'' Said Jinbei.

''Is ok, just make sure that the captain doesn't get lost.'' Said Nami.

''Alright guys, let's go!'' Scream Luffy jumping out of his ship and ready to explore the creepy island.

So yes, we will start like this so we can explore. We will start like in the beginning of Berserk. So, the Straw Hats can meet Guts properly and soon his party members. Now prepared, this will be gory.
