Hey, guys, I'm sorry took so long to write this and update the story leaving you guys with a cliffhanger. I've been so caught with a lot of things and gor that I sincerely APOLOGIZE. I know I should've scheduled myself better with my fanfics. It's going to be stressful, but bare with me. I will finish these stories and continue on with life. From now on every Saturday will be a new chapter of different stories, i.e. this one, One Piece: Jigoku Island, etc.. I won't half ass them and will do great quality writing even if I have writers' block. Now sadly some of my stories have been deleted so I intend on rewriting on future chapters while also rereading what I wrote so it may a little longer than usual to publish them. With this in mind, I hope you have a wonderful day/night.

Edit: This was supposed to be done last Saturday but due to my stupidity with the fanfic app, I didn't realize what I was doing and for that the chapter changed into a different not the one it was supposed to be. For this, you guys are going to get two chapters for this story. I apologize for my inconvenience and for making you guys wasting your time due to it. Also it is rewritten from the original.

Also to respond to B.A. Victoria's review: "wow...question, is English your first language? I don't wanna sound mean, but there are a bunch of incomplete sentences and words that don't make sense. For example, in the part where Sanji goes to investigate the cold air outside Chopper says "Before, Sanji". I think you meant "Be careful, Sanji", but who knows. I would reread future chapters before posting because there are a lot of grammar errors. Its a shame because I like the premise of Alucard joining the Straw Hats." I wrote the last chapter on an iPad, due to that it made a lot of autocorrect and annoyed me. When I posted the chapter and reread it I then noticed mistakes, have no fear, I won't do the same mistake twice, and thanks for the criticism.

Chapter 3: History

Alucard looked around the room, wondering in thought how in the world were these guys, Pirates? They were nothing like the pirates in his world, where they would plunge villages, loot treasure, and murder innocent people.

He knew he was in a different world, but he wasn't sure how different. The cook of the Straw Hat pirates, as they call themselves, known as Sanji tried to offer him their dinner but Alucard rejected it because he didn't eat food, especially human food. He also stood behind where Brook originally sat before the Straw Hats met Alucard on his ship.

Sanji thought it was weird for Alucard not to eat at all, considering how long Alucard must've been on tha ship, though he tried not to think about it too much.

Nobody talked as they ate. Alucard then decided to read their minds a little bit in order to understand each and every one of them. As such he found them quite interesting already as he read through them. They were merely mostly afraid of him, much more than the skeleton.

The ones who were really afraid of him was the orange-haired girl, the long-nosed man, the raccoon dog?, and the skeleton. The next were the cyborg, the swordsman, and the cook. The least afraid were the boy in the Straw Hat and the raven-haired woman. As he tried to read further into their thoughts, the most he found interesting were the raven-haired woman. She was trying to understand what he was. Alucard smirked at such a thought.

Everyone was done quickly with dinner. As such, Brook was the first to start. He felt sad talking about his past life but he had to explain it no matter what. He spoke of how he had eaten the Revive-Revive Fruit and the power to gain a second life.

Alucard found that interesting, a power to gain a second life, never heard of such a thing before in his life and he's lived a pretty long one.

Brook also mentioned that he too had been once a pirate as well, sailing he Grand Line with his crew before they came here to the Florian Triangle. Then he explained to them that they ended up with really strong enemies that the entire crew, including himself, had been killed. He then went onto explain that in his life, the Devil Fruit had only made him lose his ability to swim. Until he died is when his powers worked. When his soul returned from the afterlife, he thought he could find his body quickly to fully recover. Sadly, due to the fog, he got lost for an entire year, only then to find his body had been reduced to a skeleton.

"So you got lost?" Luffy humored and added "Zoro gets lost all the time, too."

"Hey." Zoro growled at him.

"So that's how you became a walking, talking skeleton," Franky added. "Being resurrected even though you were only white bones in the dreadful power of the Devil Fruit."

"So now you're cursed," Sanji summarized, "Once you ate the Devil Fruit, the ability to swim is long gone."

"Usually, when you die, your body rots, yet your hair...?" Zoro wondered about that as he stared at Brook's hair, which made Brook touching it lightly and stating he had strong roots. Zoro just let it be as he didn't want to hear any further.

"So what you're saying is you're actually still human?" Usopp asked as he tried to understand Brook. "Well, technically somewhat not a real human...?" He add then asked "But you're really not some kind of ghost who's haunting us now, right?"

Alucard doubted it. Judging on how excited the skeleton could get and despite his appearance he was no intimidating creature whatsoever.

"Oh heavens no!" Brook cried, not liking the thought of being a ghost. " I'm afraid of ghosts! I couldn't even look at one and not scream!"

This confirmed Alucard's thought of the skeleton.

Then the conversation turned to Alucard. Luffy was the first to ask him a question, "Hey, Red-eyes? So what's your story?"

Alucard turned out to him with his piercing stare at him. "My story? Where to begin? Would you like to know my life story? Or when I was on the ship?"

"Well, we got time before we throw out both of you, so make it quick." Sanji said.

"Throw me out? I see you're more afraid of me then of the skeleton." Alucard stated, smirking creepily at them which sent shivers down their spines.

"And how do you know that?" Nazi asked, gulping.

"Because I read your minds." Alucard replied, smirking even more wide, showing his sharp teeth. Usopp and Chopper held their crosses even tighter when they saw those.

This even interested Robin, how could this guy do that? Read minds? Seems insane to even think about it, let alone do it.

"How could you read minds? And why?" Robin asked, trying to hide her thoughts or not even think about anything.

"Don't worry it's not like I care about your pasts, only that I know you're just afraid of me. Seems amusing to think. But I'll go further to say you want to know what I am and how I came to be in the position right now. To answer what I am, you'll find out sooner or later as it is a long story. How I came to be here is that I was riding the ship across the Thames River. I was on that ship, you saw me on, because I was defeating a last of battalion from the past: Nazis. A past from my world." Alucard explained to them.

This surprised to them all, "my world" made them think, he was no rogue pirate, bounty hunter or anything else.

"So you're not from our world? Are you saying you're from another world?" Robin concluded.

Alucard nodded "As it stands, you guys don't know who the Nazis are. Let alone what Great Britain, America, and World War II was. The only explanation is that I have entered into your world by either fate or unnecessary obstacles preventing me for going into Britain and to defeat them."

"So you're to win some kind of war," Sanji deduced, he didn't know what a "Nazi" was, but he sure as hell knew they sounded horrible.

Alucard smirked at that, war was inevitable to those who were willing to fight it and end it. "In a way, yes. It's a long lasting war."

"I don't have to explain to you what World War II was in my world, not so I have to explain what a Nazi, Communist, etc. were. Nor do I have to explain what I am. All you need to know is that I am fighting a certain enemy brought from the dead and need to end it." Alucard stated firmly.

"And you don't even have Devil Fruit powers?" Zoro asked, wondering about something.

"To be honest, I don't even what a Devil Fruit even is. Why do you ask?" Alucard looked like he didn't even care about Devil Fruits at all, nor that he even wanted to know about them at all.

"Then how did you cause that damage to your ship? Seems to take a lot of strength to that kind of damage. Just what kind of enemies were you fighting in order to that?" Zoro asked, really wondering.

Alucard smirked and his eyes widened as he started to chuckle, next the chuckle turned to a laugh, lastly the laugh turned into a manical laugh (A/N: Think of this like the ending scene when he killed Rip Van Wrinkle).

His manically laughing sent shivers down their spines even more.

Usopp screamed "What are you laughing at?!" Then Usopp realized what he did was a mistake, turned to Franky and dashed quickly behind him, holding the cross in place. Franky looked at this and rolled his eyes though he couldn't blame his friend's cowardice. Something was really off about Red-eyes here and he didn't like it.

Chopper ran into Robin's arms and held onto her tightly and cried "Robin! Make him stop laughing!" She held him tight as well.

He then stopped laughing which made them feel good... somewhat. "I told you before the damage was done me. I used an aircraft and simply crashed onto the ship. You should've seen the enemies face when they saw me. The fear-drivened by disbelief, the slaughter of their... captains, and to add onto this fulfilled my amusement."

As soon he said what he said, Nani thought only word could describe this, psychopath. He enjoys killing, he may be no pirate, but he sure as hell acts like one.

"My, why would enjoy slaughtering your enemies? There's no honor in you!" Brook yelled at him.

"Honor? I was ordered by my master in order to so. I have no need in killing those I'm ordered to do so. Assuming you guys are pirates, looks like I have to abide to your rules and only your rules." Alucard stated.

"No way, you're not gonna join this crew!" Nazi bursted.

"Ooh, a feisty one. You remind a certain someone I once taken as a student of mine. She always would fear in being a monster like me." Alucard smirked.

"Monster?" Robin asked, muttering to herself, just what was Alucard? Is he a monster? If so, what kind?

"If you were ordered to kill why not refuse it?" Brook asked, curious of Alucard.

"I can't. I must follow my master. Unfortunately since she is not here, you guys will do." Alucard replied

"Luffy's the Captain. Only he could decide whether you'll join or not." Zoro pointed out.

"Very well, I'll await that decision." Alucard nodded.

The conversation was then turning back towards Brook as Nami pointed if he was afraid of ghosts, had he seen himself in the mirror? Brook freaked and begged her to put it away. The horrible truth of Brook has been found out. He had no reflection in the mirror and pointed out he had no shadow. Usopp pointed out that he may be a vampire, this caught Alucard's interest.

He didn't buy it. Not one bit. He didn't have any fangs, no familiar summoning, no anything that made him a nosferatru

Brook, taking this lightly, sat back down at his seat, and took a very long sip of his tea.

"How can you be so calm about this?" Sanji yelled at him.

"Yeah, you scared the crap out of all of us!" Usopp also yelled.

"I will tell you everything," Brook calmly said, "I'll tell you this. I have been traveling this sea for many years. However, me being a skeleton and having no shadow are two different situations." A long pause then occurred, everyone was anxious to hear his story but Brook joked "To be continued."

"Tell is everything now!" Sanji yelled at him again. Brook then told them another part of his story about how his shadow was stolen from him precisely five years ago and that he can't live in the light. Luffy pointed at the fact he was still alive, Brook grimly clarified he meant sunlight. Adding to this, if he were ever set into sunlight, his own body would disintegrate right away.

Everyone repeated in shock, except Alucard "Disintegrate?"

"Yes..." Brook said sadly. "I once saw a man with this exact same curse disappear when he stepped into the sun. It was a scary sight for me, even though I'm a skeleton. I don't have the shadow that should be seen in the light."

Brook stood and continued "Therefore, I myself can not be reflected in a mirror or photograph. In short, mine is an existence rejected by light! All of my old friends are dead!" Brook cried out.

Alucard knew that feeling, reminiscent of his own life, only Brook was way younger than him.

"You life's been pretty miserable," Sanji states bluntly.

"But I lived through it all! 'Dead-Bones' Brook! Nice to meet you!" He cheerfully yelled. Then Brook started to dance around happily and was sent into a laughing fit that none of them-Alucard didn't really care at all-could understand why he was suddenly so cheerful after everything he told them.

"And even then, I'm still kicking and alive! As a skeleton, though!" Brook cheered on.

Franky and Sanji yelled at him, telling him to shut up.

Usopp asked Brook if he was ok. Brook answered with pure joy, "Today is a wonderful day! I was able to find somebody!" Then he bowed to them. His voice became saddened, "So many years, I couldn't tell the difference between today and tomorrow on this dark sea with a thick fog. All alone on a ship that won't obey its rudder."

He continued "How many years I've been wandering... I was so lonely! And very scared! I just wanted to die!"

"However, I lived on," he said as he cried out, arms wide spread out, "I've lived a long time! People are such a delight! For me, you're my delight! Yohohoho! I'm so happy that I would cry if I were able to!" He turned to Luffy and said "You asked me to join your crew and I'm really glad. Thank you very much."

This made Luffy happyiliy smile back at Brook before he added "But the truth is, I should decline."

"HEY! WHY?!" His jaw fell open, his eyes bulged out, it was almost a humorous reaction to Alucard.

Brook replied "Earlier, I told you that my shadow was stolen. My body cannot live under the sun. Right now, I'm being protected by the fog! However, even if I could leave this sea with you, it would be just a matter of time before my disappeared. I have to get back my shadow, which is still here. I have to wait for a miracle day! Yohohohoho!"

Luffy, however, was not going to stand for it as he slammed his hands hard on the table and stood up. "What are you talking about?! We're not strangers!"

"If all you need is your shadow, then I'll get it back for you! You said someone stole it, right? Who was it? Where is he?"

Alucard was reminded of Police girl from the captain's attitude here. In fact, almost of them reminded him of his old friends back at the Hellsing Organization.

Brook said "You... are a very kind person..."

He continued "I'm surprised. Even then, I cannot tell you that. I only just met you. You shouldn't say that 'You'll die for me.'"

"Is the enemy so strong? It won't hurt if you just tell us his name." Franky suggested, though Brook refused to say it.

He told them that they might meet up with them if he did and confessed that he didn't know when his second life would actually end, but he's made up his mind that if he ever did find him, he'd face him.

After all that was said, Brook brought and pulled out a violin, "How about we sing a song?" He put his fingers on the bow and the strings. "I'm very proud of my abilities I used to be the musician on my old pirate ship."

"EEEEH!" Luffy cries with stars in his eyes. "YOU'RE A MUSICIAN! I'M BEGGING YOU TO BE A PART IF THE MY CREW! COME ON!"

"Let's sing a happy sea song!" He then froze and shook to the bone. Brook screamed out of pure fear like never before.

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

The Straw Hats and Alucard stared at him in concern, wondering what's gotten into him. One of them asking what was wrong. Brook screamed "G...G... GHOST!" Pointing in terror and they soon followed to see what he was staring at.

The ghost stuck out it's head through the wall, it was pure clear, beady black eyes, large lips, and a tongue sticking out of its head. Several of the Straw Hats screamed out of horror, for example Chopper and Usopp backed away from it.

Alucard was about to pull out one of his guns and shoot the damned ghost, but he couldn't as the Sunny was shaking around. Zoro blurted out "What's that vibration?"

Everyone held onto something to stop themselves from falling over. Brook appeared to know what was going on and went out the door to look at the deck, as Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Alucard pursuited him. Brook was the first outside, then all of them came right behind him.

Luffy jumped onto the rail, getting a good view of the whole new place in front of them.

"What's going on?" Nami asked, shocked in what she's seeing.

"Did you, perhaps, happen to pick up a 'floating barrel' on this sea?" Brook asked Luffy.

Luffy realized what he said and said they did and opened it.

Alucard also took note at that as well, so that's what he saw before arriving to this ship.

"I feared that," Brook said. "It's a trap! This ship has been targeted ever since."

"Targeted?" Luffy asked astonished. "What do you mean? We haven't moved from here? What's going on here?"

They all saw the island that appeared in front of them. The thick fog allowed them to see it not clearly but enough. There was a huge outer wall that went around them, with four separate chains that connected the walls to the mansion in the middle of the island. Also were old, broken stone walls that were encircled with pointed towers as well a moat. What was strange was the thick forest that looked like it came out of a nightmare.

Lastly there was some kind of enormous pulley attached to the wall of the mansion, reminded Alucard of his old home so much, and had a lot of giant chains. Due to fog, all of them couldn't see much else.

Alucard found the place interesting already. It reminded him of his old home in Transylvania.

"What is this place?" Luffy asked, looking around.

"This is the wandering ghost island," Brook replied. "Thriller Bark."

Luffy repeated what he said, "Thriller... Bark..."

Nami stared at the Log Pose and said to them that the needle was not pointed there. Brook told them that it's not part of the Grand Line, ergo no magnetic pull. Next he started to head inside, grabbed his top hat with his cane and told himself what a joyous day it had been, added to this he emphasized how he not only met people, he also had his deep wish granted.

The rest of them followed him back to the front of the Sunny, as Brook took only one leap onto the lion's head.

Sanji commented on how light he was. Brook tipped his hat to the rest of them, "Yohohohoho! That's right, as light as dead bones! Please try to break through the back of the gate and escape! Don't even think about lowering your anchor at this island! I'm so glad that I met you today and could eat your delicious food. I'll never forget you!"

And as he turned, he was about to jump if wasn't for a certain cold fog entered in. He shivered. The rest of them did, all but one.

"Brrrr! Not this again..." Nami commented as she crossed her arms and shivered.

They then heard Alucard laugh manically again.

Chopper asked, confused "What's so funny?" Still afraid of Alucard as he hid behind Robin's leg.

"Yeah tell us what's so funny?!" Usopp growler at him, already found his laugh annoying and he held his cross.

"Wait the fog? That was you last time, wasn't it?" Nami asked as Alucard nodded.

"How could you do that then? Tell us what are you? You said you were a monster? Just what kind of a monster are you?" Robin asked as her mind was pleading for an answer.

He smirked "A vampire."

This shocked them all.

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

Nami, Usopp, and Chopper ran around deck, crying in fear, almost to the annoyance of the other crew members.

Brook was just stunned by this revelation and felt like he wanted to faint.

Usopp cried and prayed to God, "God, he's going to kill us. Make our deaths merciful, oh Lord."

Nami did something similar only it was to Alucard, which he found somewhat amusing.

Chopper feared for his life and hid behind Robin's leg.

Only one that was excited was Luffy, amazed by this information, "WHOA! THAT'S AWESOME!"

Usopp quickly smacked him in the head. "Idiot! he's gonna kill us!"

Chopper bursted into tears and cried out "I'm too young to die!"

Nami responded next to Chopper, cried "Me too!" She then grabbed Chopper and held onto him like a teddy bear toy.

Sanji then had hearts in his eyes and swirled his legs, "Nami! Oh sweet Nami! You're so cute when you're scared!"

Nami yelled at him "Idiot! This is no time to be love!"

Robin didn't know how to take this information lightly. She knew there was something off about Alucard. She wish she didn't know what it was but now that she did, she was in disbelief, ironic cause this crew is already a disbelief to the rest of the world. Vampires were myths, legends, stories told to little kids to scare them off.

Franky was also in similar disbelief but he had no choice but to keep his guard, if Alucard does anything strange, he'll strike.

Alucard then stepped back a few meters and covered his face with his hands. The Straw hats had no idea what he was going to do. His red trench coat was flapping as if he was wearing a cape. The fog getting denser and denser. He took his hands off his face and chuckled an evil chuckle as if he was the Devil, himself.

He drew out his guns quickly, which surprised them because they thought he was going to slaughter them, only Luffy saw right through that flaw. He clashed his guns together and ran at superhuman speed.

"WHOA!" Sanji exclaimed as he never saw run that fast before and Alucard jumped out of the deck, as he jumped higher and higher into the air, Brook gasped in astonishment.

He jumped so high that they thought he was going to land with a huge explosion.

"What power?" Zoro commented, still awed by the jump, Alucard did.

The Straw Hats then turned to Brook, who got their attention "Well, that was something." He then turned and jumped right down the ship to the water below. Worried because he's a Devil Fruit user and didn't understand why he did that, yet they heard his laughter and looked over to see that Brook was running across the water, headed straight to the island. They were awed that he could do that.

"A skeleton and a vampire in this crew. Only Luffy could make those decisions and somehow make this crew even more strange." Zoro commented to himself and sighed.

"Anyway, Luffy. Brook's probably right! We don't know what will happen but this island is definitely dangerous!" Nami pointed out.

Luffy clearly didn't listen and turned to her with the biggest smile on his face. "You say something?" He asked.

The Weakling trio yelled at him with sweatdrops, "You want to go!"

Robin laughed at this while Zoro, Sanji, and Franky were a bit skeptical of going to this island, especially with that vampire Alucard running amok.

Hope you enjoyed this rewritten chapter because the next's one coming right after .
