All right, new chapter coming up. Thanks a lot to deathshark for helping me out.

Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece, I just own my characters.

This doesn't go along with the actual anime, just pointing that out.

"We need to stop for supplies at the next available island. And I expect you three to stay on the ship." Arlong, Kuroobi, and Choo gathered in front of the ship. In front of them stood the three girls, all looking a little sick from being on a constant moving ship. Combine that with their regular sickness from being pregnant and you have one big mess.

"Who died and made you the boss?" Sun started to argue back with them. Her anger started to boil over again.

"I've always been the boss." Choo stepped in front of his comrades, meeting face on with his girl.

"No, I'm the boss because I'm the one carrying the baby. So you listen to me." She stomped her foot at the end for emphasis. "And I say that we get to walk around the island as we please."

"Might as well say yes Choo." Arlong leaned against the railing of his ship, looking up ahead to see if they were getting closer to whatever destination they were heading in.

"You're losing, big time." Kuroobi walked past Choo and over to Rae. "I, for one, think it will be very good if you walk around for a while." She looked up at him, with confusion.

"When did you start acting nice?"

"I'm not being nice, I'm being considerate." Rae now had a 'you got to be kidding' look on her face.

"When did you start being considerate?" Nami held in a small chuckle that was nearly about to escape her mouth. She placed a hand over her mouth, just in case it actually did.

"You can go under one condition…" Choo pointed off in some random direction, it landing on a certain eight-armed octopus "Hachi has to go with you."

"WHAT?!"

Arguing was something that Choo and Sun could do for, what seemed like hours. And that's exactly what they did after Choo had told her about Hachi having to be with her and the other two. It's not like she hated Hachi, he was possibly the only mermen she didn't hate. But there was no way she was going to have someone 'babysitting' her. Or at least she thought so, in the end, she lost the round. They had finally arrived at a very crowded town.

"We'll meet right ON the ship in about two hours. Is that clear?" Arlong announced to his whole crew. Each crew answered back loud and clear "Yes, Sir."

"Whatever." Hachi grabbed onto her arm with one of his. Choo had specifically ordered him to not let her out of his sight. Her eyes had a very scary look in the, and she aimed that scary look over at Choo, who just smirked at her.

"Ok you three, let's get going." Hachi and the girls walked down the ramp, looking down at all the people who would stare at them.

"No doubt they are a little scared." Nami tugged back on her arm, finally getting it out of Hachi's iron-grip.

"Reminds me of how I felt when they first landed on my island. And Hachi, you're hurting me." Hachi let Rae go.

"Sorry, didn't mean to." Rae gave him a slight warm smile.

"It's ok. Now, SPLIT!" While Hachi was distracted from the sudden yelled word, Sun was able to slip her arm out of his hand. All three of them ran off in different direction, making Hachi panick.

"OH MAN, NOT GOOD." He started throwing his arms around, scared to death of what may happen to them. Poor Hachi didn't know in what direction to run in. Should he run forward, where Nami ran? To his right, Rae's direction? Or to his left, Sun's direction? Either way, his view was blinded by a big crowd of people walking.

He finally decided on going left, Sun was the one he was most worried about losing. Unknown to him, she hid behind someone's cart of apples; which he passed.

"Sorry Hachi, but you know how stubborn I am." She stood up and walked in front of the cart, meeting her sister and Nami. "Did you guys have trouble running?" She rubbed in stomach.

"Sort of." Nami just shrugged her shoulders and looked at all the stores around her. So many clothes and food and…oh great, she just saw green. 'I hate that color. I swear, one of these days, I'm going to destory everything green. Except trees and grass, it's just too pretty.'

"I'm gonna go over there. If I'm captured by Hachi, I'm telling him where you guys are."

"Why?" Both Sun and Rae whined.

"Because then we can trick him all over again, DUH!" She giggled and waved at them as she walked forward, going towards a food cart.

"I'm going somewhere else too. Don't get yourself raped." Rae walked into a nearby store. Completely ignoring the yelling protests from her sister.

"Beautiful girls to my left, Beautiful girls to my right. Oh, LIFE IS GOOD!" Sanji walked with Zolo and Luffy. Each of them getting distracted by their own interest. Well, just Sanji and Luffy, Zolo wasn't paying attention. Usopp decided to 'stay' on the ship and 'guard' it.

"Can't you keep your eyes inside your head for at least three minutes?" Zolo hit Sanji right on his head. But Sanji didn't even feel it. For he got distracted by a sudden red-head that had just passed by him.

"HEY GORGEOUS!" Sanji ran right after her, hoping to catch up to the beauty.

"Hey Sanji!" Zolo reached his hand out, trying to catch the love-sick puppy. Zolo looked down, closed his eyes, and just shook his head. "Luffy, You want to step in?" He got no answer. "Luffy?"

"FOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD!!!!!!!" A loud echo faded as the rubber man started running. Leaving a very stunned Zolo.

"And then there was one."

"Hey Gorgeous." Nami ignored the calls from Sanji, thinking that the idiot was calling some other women. It wasn't until she was suddenly stopped by a single red rose being put in front of her face. "Where has a girl like you been hiding?" Nami rolled her eyes at this.

"Apparantly, you don't have any shame when it comes to hitting on PREGNANT women." She turned sideways, giving Sanji a good view of her stomach. "Sorry buddy, I'm taken." 'Although, I wish I wasn't'. Her eyes stayed closed during this, not wanting to look up at the random guy that just started hitting on her.

"My mistake." Sanji pulled the rose back towards him, pinning it right on his shirt. "Why don't you look at me?"

"Will it make you leave me alone if I do so?" She opened her eyes and looked right at him. Only to have her breath literally taken away from her. In her eyes, Sanji was an absolute handsome man. She loved how his hair was so shiny; how it fell over one of his eyes. Although she wasn't a big fan of smoking, he was able to make her re-think that. The smoking actually made him look….very sexy.

"Allow me to introduce myself…" He took a slight bow. "My name is Sanji and let me make it up to you by buying you something to eat."

"Meat…Meat….Meat" Luffy looked through the windows of the stores, seeing the clear smoke that would rise from the smoking meat. His mouth dropped open as drool began to slip out.

"I'm hungry." Rae spoke to herself as she walked the same path that had the funny rubber man. Luffy being glued to a window with a puddle of drool on the floor caught her eyes.

'What on…what the…why is he just standing there?' She stepped just a little closer to him. Luffy didn't even notice her getting close to him, he just continued to stare inside the window. Watching all that delicious meat.

"You know, you can just walk in and ask for one." Luffy jumped from surprise from the sudden voice that was right by his ear. He looked to see….possibly the most beautiful woman he has ever laid his eyes on. He attempted to say something to her, but couldn't really get it out.

"Ok, so…Bye." She turned to leave. Luffy shot his hands out, grabbing Rae's arm tightly. Making sure she couldn't leave now.

"Something wrong?" Luffy remained silent. I mean, what was he supposed to say? 'You're really cute'?

"You know, I have other places to go. So if you could just…"

"Hi, I'm Luffy." He blurted out before she could finish her sentence.

"Uh…Hi Luffy, Name's Rae." He continued to just stare at his face, letting his eyes roam deeply into hers. For some reason, his eyes started to travel downward. Until they landed right on his big tummy.

"Whoa, you must really love to eat." Rae's eyes widened from…surprise and anger.

"Excuse me?!"

"Well, your stomach is really big." He pointed towards her stomach.

"Ok, let's get this straight. I do love to eat, but my stomach is big because I'm pregnant."

"Oh, my bad." She could tell he was embarrassed by the way he smiled. A small chuckle escaped her lips. Soon after, a small rumbling noise came from both of their stomachs.

"Wish I could buy you something to eat but…" He reached for his pockets and pulled out the insides, revealing a very empty pocket. "I don't have any money."

"No worries. I don't have any either." 'I should have ate before I left the ship.'

"That lovesick idiot. Running after some random girl. That stupid captain of mine, all that runs through his mind. Food, food, food; meat ,meat ,meat; girls, girls, girls; I'm sick of it, sick of it, sick of it." Zolo threw his hands in the air for emphasis, ignoring all the weird looks he was getting.

"I'm out of ideas of what to do. There's no reason to go shopping, all the clothes won't even fit. No money either. So…why the heck did I leave the ship?" Sun felt a weird feeling coming up from her stomach…to her chest…to her throat. 'Oh shoot, that's why.' She held her mouth with her hand, looking around for some kind of empty alley or something. To her luck, there was one. Right behind a green-haired guy.

Zolo looked forward, he saw the girl running straight for him. Immediately, he got in his battle stance, his hand right on his sword. He waited for her to get closer until…

"YOU WANT A PIECE OF…" She ran right past him. "me?" Hearing a very disguising noise, he turned over to see what the girl was doing. He realized that she was vomiting and soon felt the same urge.

"You ok?" He swallowed back down the vile that was coming up and went to check on the girl. He placed his hand gently on her back, feeling the small jump her body would give off when her stomach pushed more vile out. Wanting to be of some help, he pulled her hair back, letting the mouth be free of obstacles.

"Hey, Are you feeling alright?" He would rub her back very gentl, trying his hardest to soothe her. During this, Sun felt very uncomfortable; yet, at the same time, she loved it.

'Not even Choo would comfort me like this.' Her stomach started to feel better. She wiped whatever she had left on her mouth and turned to face Zolo.

"Whoa!"

"What? What's wrong?" She brought her hand up to his head and patted his hair.

"You have green hair. Is it genetic?" Zolo doesn't know why, but since she didn't say thank you at first, the whole remark about his hair kind of made him a little angry. So he decided to fight back...with words.

"That's a very nice thing to say to a guy who just held your hair back. Well…..what about your eyes? Did a blood vessel pop?" 'Oh, he went too far.' She growled at him, making him back away a little.

"Oh no, now don't you go insulting my eyes. What's with all the scars? Can't handle your own in battle?"

"What's with your huge stomach? You got a black hole in there?" She gasped.

"HOW DARE YOU! I'M PREGNANT, DUMMY!"

"WELL YOU….wait, your pregnant? That would explain all the vomiting."

"Brilliant, Scooby-Doo. You deserve a scooby snack." She clapped her hands in an sarcastic way.

"Who's Scooby-Doo?"

"It's a inside joke. You wouldn't get it."

"Then why use it on me?" She blushed from embarrassment.(AN. Was that spelled right?)

"Because I couldn't think of a snappy come-back."

"Hm… so I win." He glared at her and smirked, which made her blush. Her heart started going faster and faster. It was then that she noticed just how muscular he was. Not wanting him to catch her staring, she hide her face with her hands.

"Score 1 for greeny."

"Don't call me that, Red."

"My name's not Red….It's Sun."

"Question: who would name their kid 'Sun'?"

"My parents thought it would fit me because of my eyes. I've been told my whole life that my eyes resemble the sun."

"Well, the Sun is a combination of orange and red. Orange is a happy color, brings a smile to almost everybody's face. That half must mean that you're a happy person. And Red stands for love and fire. So the person that won your heart must have a lot of love…" He pointed at her stomach, thinking that she was married. "And also, your fiery personality and attitude. You wouldn't let me win our little argument without a fight."

"There is one thing you got wrong." He had the puzzled look on his face. " I don't love the man that did this to me. I despise him with every inch of my heart and soul and body and everything else that relies in me."

"Then why this?"

"I don't have to tell you my life story." 'Fiesty, dang. It's actually pretty attractive on her.' Zolo thought to himself as he continued to look at her.

"Hm. I never met a person like you."

" You never met a person who vomited right before you and insulted your hair?"

"No, well, yes but anyway, I never met a girl who would actually stand her ground and fight back. You know, usually they start crying and run off. And…I never met a woman who was pregnant that I thought was very beautiful." Her face turned red once again. The two stayed still, just staring into each others eyes. Forgetting anything that went around them….until Sun heard a very familiar scream.

"YOU WHAT?!?!?!" She gasped and turned towards the direction of the ship. 'Looks like me and the girls are caught.'

"I have to go." She started to walk off, hoping that the man wouldn't follow her.

"Wait a minute, where are you going?" He stood right at his spot.

"I'm going…to the father of my baby."

"You told me you didn't love him. So why bother? Get away from him… better yet, come with me and my crew." She chuckled to herself. 'Yeah, go on a ship with a guy that I never even learned a name from.'

"Believe me greeny, I wish it were that easy. Have a nice life." She continued walking, leaving an completely love-struck Zolo behind. He was getting ready to follow her, until he heard a team-mate of his scream. He sighed and shook his head, now he had to forget about her.

Rae and Luffy were sitting on a random bench they had found. Luffy kept asking her question upon question about her life. And she didn't even think twice before answering any.

"So now you're trapped in a relationship with some guy all because you wanted to go save your sister?"

"Yup."

"Wow, doesn't your sister feel bad for getting you in this?"

"She did, but I tried to convince her to just forget it. She's been through too much to have that one bit of grief in her. I'm not saying I'm happy about my decision but I'm not sad or mad about it either." She looked down towards the ground, holding back the tears.

" I understand. I'd probably do the same thing for my brother. Although, we wouldn't be pregnant." He laughed his signature laugh and grinned. Hearing his goofy laugh made Rae burst out into laughter. Her happy moment was interrupted by a very familiar yell.

"YOU WHAT?!?!?!" Rae jumped up from her seat, her whole body shaking from the familiar yell. 'And so ends my fairy tale.'

"Laters Luffy. Try to feed that stomach, I could hear it rumble throughout our whole conversation."

"KK, laters." She saluted him and left. Very happy that she had been able to tell her secrets to somebody she will probably never see again in her whole life. Luffy continued to watch her, until she completely disappeared from his sight in the crowd.

"Luffy…" He started talking to himself. "You're a complete idiot for letting her go."

"What else might my lovely darling need to make her day oh so special?" Sanji knelt down to Nami, showing her that he was her complete slave…for the moment.

"Apparantly, you missed the part of where I told you I was taken." She took another bite of an apple he had bought her and rolled her eyes at him. Having control over a man was fun while it laster, but now it was just plain annoying.

"It's just how I am. I see a beautiful girl and I chase her. Can't help it." He smiled at her and brought up the red rose he had tried to give her at the very beginning.

"I can't accept it." A loud familiar voice distracted her.

"YOU WHAT?!?!?!" ' Oh boy, back I go.' She stood and walked right past him. His eyes widened as he realized what she was doing.

"Wait, wait wait. Please take this." He took her hand and forfully placed the rose in her hand. "Remember me." He let her go.

'Trust me, I'll remember you always. If I have a boy, I might consider naming him after you.' She chuckled at the idea. Like Arlong would let her name a child of his that 'Sanji' name. She headed back to the ship, fully prepared for whatever the mermen were goingto do to her and his friend.

"So then they tricked me and just ran off in different directions. I ran after Sun first…since I figured that Choo would have been the most upset out of the three of you. But I never found her or the others." Arlong, Kuroobi, and Choo stood in front of Hachi. All were in front of the ramp, anger coming out of the three mermen. Poor Hachi was practically shaking in his sandals.

"Hachi, how hard can it be to find three extremely pregnant women?" Arlong growled through his sharp teeth. His fist shaking like crazy. "I mean, come on, they're stomachs are huge! and I do mean huge!"

"HEY!

"WHAT'S UP?"

"YO!" The look behind them, the girls walking up to them as if nothing has happened.

"What do you mean what's up? You had me worried sick." Choo rushed over to Sun, grabbing onto her shoulders tightly.

"How could you have been that worried about me when you just heard about three minutes ago that I was gone I needed some fresh air and a good walk, plus I emptied my stomach. So now I'm good for the entire trip. No big deal." She shoved him away from her and walked past him. "Before you say anything, I'm going to lock myself up in the room." Choo looked at her, wondering what was going through her mind.

"Yeah, me and Rae will do the same. Let's get going now." The two girls followed Sun to the room.

"What should we do sir?" Kuroobi looked at Arlong, waiting for his answer.

"Never fight with a pregnant girl. That's a lesson we should have learned by now. So let's leave it like this and get going. We need to figure out what we're going to tell mermen island about these three."

"Stupid greeny, getting me all upset." Instead of heading to the room, Sun was still outside. She leaned forward on the rails of the ship, looking out at the moving sea. "And now I'm getting sea-sick again, or is it just my baby, or is it both?"

"You told me you were going to the room, you liar." She already knew who it was, just from hearing his voice.

"Why would I go in there when I would just have to come back out again?"

"I'm not following you." Choo approached the right side of her at the rail, leaving on it as well.

"Oh, you'll find out. Just give me time." They stayed silent for a while, until Choo asked the question.

"What happened to you on the island? Why did you run away from Hachi when I specifically told you to stay with him?"

"Because I felt like it. I'm tired of feeling like I have no freedom. You would keep me locked inside at Arlong Park for so long that I feel like I just need some space. Nothing happened, as if a man would hit on a pregnant woman. If they did, they have no taste and no respect. So just drop the subject." Her mind continued to wonder back to the man with green hair. 'Why do I keep thinking of him? He's nothing and all he did was insult with me.'

"Get use to staying locked up, we may need to do that as soon as we get to Mermen Island. Not all mermaids and such are going to accept you being with one of the most handsome mermen to ever walk the island."

"They want you, they can have you. Cheat on me, I don't care."

Night seemed to have quickly come for the crew on the ship. Nothing else really happened after the ship started sailing again, except for when Choo found out why Sun didn't want to go into the room. That little incident made him want to throw up himself.

"I want to just go to sleep and forget everything that happened today. So good night." Sun crawled up to her pillow on the bed, laid down on her side and was so ready to close her eyes. Nami and Rae weren't ready to sleep at all, both too excited about the guys that they met that day. Wanting to hear Sun's story as well, they pulled te pillow out from her head.

"No, not time for bed. Time for stories. I have one to tell you, I met a guy named Luffy, and he's crazy for meat. He was even offering to buy me something to eat until he figured that he didn't have any money. So we spent the entire time just talking. I found out he has a older brother, and that he's the captain of his own ship." Rachael was so excited, she ended up saying all of that in just one breath.

"That's nice sweetie. Can I go to bed now?"

"No no no, not yet. My turn. I met a guy with blond hair and the weirdest looking eyes brows I have ever seen. Anyway, he kept calling me names like 'beautiful', 'gorgeous' OH, it was so awesome! He even bought me an apple to eat. Dude, if I wasn't pregnant, I would have gone with him. He made me blush so bad."

"Ok, story time over. Sunny is tired. Nighty-night." Sun tried to pull the pillow out of her her sister's grip. Who in turn, only held tighter.

"Not until you tell us about your day. Who did you meet? What was his name? Did he try to sweep you off your feet?"

"All right, apparantly you guys aren't going to leave me alone. I met some guy with green hair. Weird if you ask me. Anyway, He helped me when I was too busy throwing my innards out. So then we just had an insulting war and he invited to go back with his crew. But then I heard the yelling and came back to the ship. And now I'm in my bed, trying to go to sleep and my sister and friend won't let me."

"Sarcastic much." Nami and Rae said in unison. Sun just rolled her eyes and stole the pillow from his sister's hands.

"Guys, just forget everything. We won't ever see the dream boat guys ever again. So…good night."

Days soon passed. Before they knew it, the ship was just a few yards away from the famous Mermen Island. Arlong had called them out of the room to go get a good look at it. They're eyes couldn't stop staring at the beauty of the island. Huge white pearl buildings were all around the edges. Mermen and mermaids of all shapes and sizes were either walking through the town or swimming through the water. All the children were gathered around in the middle of the town playing a friendly game of ball.

'Is that what my child is going to look like?' Sun thought to herself. She noticed how all the boys had strong resemblences to actual fish and all the girls looked plain human, except for the small fins they had. 'The girls actually look very beautiful, I still wonder why Choo didn't go for them. I know he's explained it to me before but still…'

"I didn't like them because they were all too fake." Choo suddenly spoke to her. Sun jumped at the sudden realization that Choo could possibly be reading her mind. "No, I can't read minds. I just know what you're 's how close we are."

"Whatever." The ship came to a stop right at the edge of the island, all faces looked up at them. A loud eruption of cheers was then heard. "ARLONG'S CREW IS BACK!" Nami stepped behind Arlong, a little scared of how the whole island will react to her and her friends.

I got to end it there for now. Leaving some for the next chapter. Read and review. Please?????
