It was six thirty in the morning and Sanji was in the kitchen cooking breakfast. Everyone was up and about except for Luffy who was still asleep.

Sanji shouted from the kitchen, "Breakfast is ready." At this everyone rushed into the kitchen trying to get there before Luffy, but they all knew there was no chance. They entered the kitchen and sat down. Something bothered them deeply; Luffy was not in the kitchen nor did it sound like he was even up. They all sat there with expressions of shock and worry.

"Has anyone seen him this morning," asked Zoro. They all shook their heads quickly.

"I think we should let him sleep until he wakes up. He didn't look so good last night at dinner," said Chopper. "I will go and check on him after I am done eating." He looked nervous and scared Luffy was never like this. What is going on with him?


"NO STOP IT! LET ME GO TO THE DOCKS!" hollered a young boy.

"You are to stay tied to that tree until you calm down, understand!" a large women said sternly.

Tears were streaming down his face. A younger boy walked up to the tree, sat down next to the crying boy and began to weep himself. He looked up to the heavens and screamed,"SABO! Why did you have to leave us?"


"AAAAAAHHHH" Luffy woke up with a scream and jolted out of bed. HE landed on the floor with a loud crash and just sat there shaking, silently crying about what he had dreamed.


Everyone who was eating stopped, dropped whatever they were holding, and ran into Luffy's room to find him sitting on the floor crying.

"Luffy what's wrong are you hurt!?"

"Oh no he is dying why else would he be like this!"

"Luffy, Luffy what is going on are you okay?"

"Are you alright?"

"I can't believe my eyes . . . oh wait I don't have any."

There were so many questions being thrown at him by many voices he could not register who they belonged to.

"Guys . . . I'm alright . . . everything is fine," he said unsteadily as he got to his feet wobbling a bit.

"Luffy what happened, why were you crying, what is wrong with you," Chopper asked hurriedly.

"Nothing," Luffy said dismissingly "just a bad dream that's all."

"Is that really all or are you lying to us. Luffy we need to know to help," Nami said with a kind look on her face instead of the demonic one she usually had when talking to him.

"Well it was actually a memory. " There was a pregnant pause and he said, "What time is it I need food? SANJI FOOOOOD!" They all stood there staring at him when Sanji finally left and came back with a mountain of food. I was gone in about five seconds flat. The Straw hats knew he was changing the subject to make sure they would not worry about him, but they saw right through his plan. After that ordeal they didn't try to pry anything else out of him.

Zoro and Brook were in the crow's nest/training room meditating. Brook turned his head abruptly and said "aha we reached the island that will cheer Luffy up" he had a weird look on his face and Zoro was assuming it was a smile, but it looked creepy. He still couldn't get over the fact the Brook was a skeleton. They both left the crow's nest to go and find Luffy. They didn't have to look very far. He was sleeping on Sunny's figure head. Zoro took note that he was sleeping a lot for someone having nightmares bad enough to make them cry.

Brook shouted in Luffy's ear "we are here! Look I can see the shore. Luffy, wake up."

"Huh what? We are here. Yeah!" He said excitedly. "Nami, what is this island called"

She gapped at him like he had three heads. "What is going on first he is crying and now he wants to know about the island we are going to instead of rushing around like an idiot." She mumbled to herself.

"I agree miss Navigator-san" Nami jumped and turned around to see that Robin had walked on to the deck from their room without her noticing. "I believe that this island is called Hibiscus Island. This is where the hibiscus flower originated. The climate is tropical and I think that the log pose needs only a few days to reset. Isn't that right Navigator-san?" Robin added in turning her head towards Nami with the usually smile on her face.

"Yeah that is all the basic information about this island in the book I was reading."

There was a loud bang from the lower deck most likely from Usopp and Franky's workshop. And sure enough the two were running up the stairs holding the thing that had exploded. They were covered in ashes and smoke was billowing out of the door from behind them.

"Hey I found all of those dials from Skypia that I had lost." Usopp said excitedly "Franky thought they were awesome so look what we made with them!" he held out what looked like roller skates, but they had air dials attached to them. So they were basically rocket powered roller skates.

"Aren't they just SUPER!" Franky said ecstatically.

"So cool!" Luffy said with stars in his eyes. "Can I use them?"

"Yeah we were gonna have you test them because your made of rubber and won't get hurt if it explodes again."

"And if they work you can keep them," Usopp added. Luffy's face lit up as if he had been given all the meat in the world.

Luffy ran to Usopp, grabbed the skates, and quickly tied them to his bare feet. He was fiddling with them when all of a sudden they sparked and sent him flying into the wall. He got up and laughed and kept zooming around the ship only to smack into a wall.

"You did that just to make Luffy feel better about this morning didn't you," Nami inquired.

"No we just gave it to him because he would be able to test them without dying," Franky lied.

"Ah, alright so did you make anything else?"

Robin saw through the lie she actually thought it quite sweet. She watched the seen on the deck. Luffy going overboard, Brook jumping over to save him, Zoro going in to save both of them, and Usopp showing Nami and Franky how he used the impact dials with his slingshot. Sanji and Chopper walked out from the kitchen. Robin had used her devil fruit powers to plant an ear in the kitchen to listen to their conversation. They had been trying to figure out what was going on with Luffy. Sanji heard the loud racket and came out side to see what was going on.

"Are we there yet, Nami-swan," Sanji asked with his usual manner about him.

Nami looked up at him, then at the island, as the boat hit the edge of the shore. She simply replied "yes."
