Hey guys

I just wanted to give you a heads up the time lines are going to be a little off. I know the arcs are going to be in the wrong order, but I figured it wouldn't be a big deal since I'm writing a crossover anyway. Sorry if this bothers anyone. Please read and review. Thanks.

Chapter 1- Present Day

"Lucy Duck!"

Lucy hit the floor just in time to watch a table fly over her.

as she stoodback up she turned to see Natsu and Gray at it agian, and they were starting to drag the rest of the guild in as well. Lucy sighed, " There's never a dull moment when Natsus involved."

Lucy heard the giggling from the booth she was standing next too, and looked over to one of her best friends, Levy.

"At least you know we'll never be bored," she said giving a soft smile towards the giant dog pile of other members, or maybe it was just one member she was looking at.

"You know if you never tell him how you truly feel it'll never go anywhere," she said giving Levy a knowing smile. Levy's face turned three shades of red before she spoke.

"I know, I just haven't seemed to work up the courage yet."

"Well take your time," she looked over towards the man in question, only to see him dive into the large pile of Fairy Tail members, "I doubt he's going anywhere." She turned back to the booth and sat down across from here long time friend.

"You know, now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen you notice a boy."

Lucy smiled towards her friend, "I have, he's just not anywhere near here, he went to follow his own dream."

"That's so sad," Levy said pouting.

"Not really, we promised to meet each other again when he makes a name for himself," she said playing with her necklace and thinking about Luffy.

"Oh my god, that's so romantic," Levy was jumping up and down in her seat and you could practically hear her fan girling.

"How long has it been now, since I last saw him," Lucy thought mindlessly playing with her necklace.

"Alright brats, we have some new posters to put up," the master said breaking Lucy out of her own thoughts. On the other side of the guild from the jobs board was another board specifically for wanted posters. It was there for members who liked to go bounty hunting, but Lucy thought Master probably kept the posters there to warn anyone who were going on jobs to be careful and watch out for these wanted people. The only problem was, that the goverment took so long to get the new posters to the guilds, that most of the time they were already taken care of.

Lucy got up once he was done and walked over towards the board. She liked to look at the new faces just to be on the safe side when she went out on jobs. As she looked there was a whole group of new faces. Then she froze ripping one poster off the board.

"It's him, he finally made it." She walked over to the Master. Can you give me all the information on this one," she asked getting right to the point,

The Master nodded and walked back towards the board and then returned with a few more sheets of paper. "This young man seems to be the captain and these people are his crew."

Master proceeded to tell her about each of the nine members that had joined Luffy in his quest. "They all sound amazing, I'm so proud of you Luffy," she thought gathering all of their wanted posters. "I'd like to go and find them."

"Sure, but only if you bring team Natsu."

Lucy nodded, she figured he would say that. She looked back out at her team and started toward Erza and Wendy, who were both sitting down enjoying strawberry cake.

"Hey guys, you wanna go on a job with me, master says the only way I can go is if I bring back-up."

"I don't mind, what do you think Miss Erza."

" What kind of job is it," Erza asked and Lucy handed her the wanted posters.

"Bounty hunting, we won't have to answer to clients, and we can take as long as we need to."

"That does sound nice, and all of these people are..."

"There all part of the same crew."

"Is that a skelton," Wendy asked becoming very pale.

"It seems that way, but it seems like a very intresting choice, let's do it." And with that she pulled Natsu and Gray from the dog pile and told everyone to be ready to head out the next morning.

"I'm on my way, Luffy," Lucy thought as she headed back to her home in order to pack.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The next morning they all met up at the station, and there was an additional three to go with them on their long journey, Gajeel, Levy, and Pantherlily.

"Hey guys,"Lucy said walking up to them, "What are you doing here?"

"Well, we wanted to know if we could join you on your mission."

"Sure the more the merrier," Lucy said shrugging.

"Great, do you know where we are even headed," Levy asked bouncing on the balls of her feet.

"Well I figure the first stop would be to Hargeon, to get a boat, since their pirates I can't imagine they would stay on any one island for very long."

Levy nodded in understanding, and pulled out a giant map that she had stashed somewhere in her bag and started to look it over," I wonder what their destination is."

"There looking for the one piece,"Lucy answered automatically.

"Oh, and how do you know that," Gajeel finally speaking up asked.

"I did my research," she answered. This reply seemed to sate Gajeels cuiosity and they were agian discussing where they could possible be at.

"Hmm...I'm sure they must have just gotten to the new world."

"New world," Lucy questioned.

"Yeah that's what people from the other side of the world call our side of the world, I guess cause it's got magic and stuff, but the seas are especially dangerous since there are anomilies with the weather and the ocean itself caused by the magic we use here."

"Oh, that sounds pretty troublesome especially since we'll have two dragon slayers on a ship."

Gajeel visable flinched.

"I'll make sure to take care of him if anything goes wrong," Pantherlily said taking responsibilty over his partner.

"That's good, one less thing to worry about."

With that the others started to slowly make their way to the train station, all welcoming the new members of the team, and boraded the train going towards Hargeon.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Natsu hurry up, you'll be stuck on this train longer if you don't get moving," Lucy said trying to pull a nauseous Natsu across the threshold.

"Let me get him," Erza said walking over to their fallen comrade and lifting him up with little effort.

"Thanks," Lucy said as they exited the train station. They went straight to the port where they looked into renting a ship.

"Wow, look at this one," Wendy said running over to end of a dock to point at a massive ship. It was huge, with a mixture of reds, yellows that went surprising well with the brown of the wood. The figure head was oddly shaped though and it was hard to tell if it was a lion or a sunflower.

"I guess beauty is in the eyes of the beholder," Lucy thought coming up next to
Wendy.

"It's so pretty, and it's huge can you imagine how much room is on this ship," Wendy said in an excited rant.

"I'm sure they probably have a huge crew to help run it to," said Gray coming up behind the girls.

"I wonder if we could possible hitch a ride with them to their next port and maybe we can get some information out of them as well," said Erza following the others up to look at the ship.

"Well I guess all we can do is leave a note and hopefully someone will get back to us on the matter," said Levy finishing up on their letter.

"Now let go find a hotel near here, the boys need some rest before we head out anywhere," Erza said nodding in approvial towards Levy who was having Gajeel nail a small nail into the side of the boat to hold the letter in place. After that they all headed to the hotel for some rest and hopefully a reply with in the coming days.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Little did the wizards know that as they walked back up the street towards the hotel, two of the ships crew were just coming back from a shopping trip.

"I can't believe all the awesome deals they have here," nami said practically glowing at the amazing experience she just had.

"Yes, they were quite agreeable," Robin agreed looking up from the book she just purchased, and towards the ship. "What's that," Robin said pointing towards the paper nailed to the ship. Both girls walked up and read the letter.

Nami eyes became huge with the prospects of being paid, and Robin just smiled, "Well, I guess we should let the captain know."

Later that night as the crew sat down to supper, Nami and Robin talked with the rest of the crew about the letter they found. Of course Nami was for it and Sanji didn't seem opposed to it at the prospect of there being woman involved. Robin, Zoro, Chopper, and Brooke didn't seem to mind either way. While Usopp was complete againist the idea of having strangers on the ship and Franky was just mad that they would dare to nail something into his beautiful creation.

"Sure, why not, it'll be fun to make some new friends," Luffy said with his signature smile.

So after they ate Nami, Chopper, and Usopp went to inform the wizards that they were welcome on the ship, for a price of course.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As the wizards sat around the hotel lobbies fire, and discussed what their next move would be when they got to the next island, Lucy felt that she should tell her friends the real reason for her bounty hunting,

"Guys I need to tell you something," she said suddenly getting nervous, "I kinda lied to you all about this mission."

"What do you mean," asked Gray with a confused look.

"I actually took this mission to find the many that's the captain of this crew."

"I'm not sure I understand," Erza said looking up from her strawberry which Lucy thanked whatever god was out there for, because she knew that as long as Erza had that cake she wouldn't risk losing it to come after her.

"Well, I told Levy this story earlier, and I never expected for it to happen so quickly, but I'm actually engaged to the captain, Monkey D. Luffy. Everyone froze, except Levy who rushed up to her friend and started to bombared her with questions, until Gajeel lifted her up and brought her back to her previous seat so that conversation could continue.

"Why didn't you tell us before hand," Natsu asked looking a little hurt at the new information he just learned.

Lucy shrugged, "How do you tell people your engage to a pirate who is going to be the pirate king one day," she answered with her own question.

"Not only that, you have to imagine how much danger she would have been in if she had told someone," Levy said reasoning, "They could have used her agianist him or even hurt her to get back at him for something."

Erza nodded at this information, "Thats true not to mention, it would have been bad for the guild if it was known, the council would have stormed the place."

"Screw the council," Natsu said standing up, "I wanna know why she didn't tell us, we are your friends, we would never tell your secret to anyone."

Lucy looked down ashamed, "I know, it was just really hard to tell you that because even though I love Luffy, some of the memories are still painful to remember."

"What are you talking about," Wendy asked. Lucy took a deep breathe and started to explain to them about here childhood. They of course already knew about her dad and how he was blinded by greed, but she told them about how she grew up with mountain bandits, how she fell for Luffy unknowingly, how she had finally found her small family, and how she lost one of her most cherished brothers. Everyone sat silent until she was complete done, and when she was she had tears running down her face.

"I think I'm going to go wash up a little,"Lucy said rushing to the bathroom to calm herself down.

"I had no idea, " Natsu said completely in awe at the amount of information that he didn't know about his friend.

"No one did, don't beat yourself about it," Gajeel said trying to calm Levy down from the small waterfall she was crying.

After a few moments of silence they heard a few pairs a feet stop on the outskirts of their group.

"Is this a bad time," said a voice.

Everyone looked up to see a woman with long orange hair, a tattoo on her shoulder and was barely dressed in a bikini top and jeans, but she wasn't alone. She had two compaions, one with a long nose, and yellow overalls that still showed his abs, and the other seemed to be a deer of some sort.

Wendy seemed to be the only comptant one at that moment so she answered, " How can we help you."

"We were coming to respond to the letter that was left on our ship about passage to the next island." At that everyone looked up at them. "Our captain is fine with it but with this many people coming along it'll cost you."

Everyone smiled, they had already known that it would cost them, so they had made sure to bring enough money for everyone.

"That won't be a problem," said Erza coming up to the other woman to shake her hand and talk expences. As the two woman walked away, Natsu looked at Wendy, " Hey Wendy, please tell me you can cast that motion sickness spell on me, or I might end up dying."

Wendy smiled, " Sure Natsu, I can cast it on you as well Gajeel, it won't last forever but it'll help for a little while at least."

"Excuse me, did you say that you suffer from motion sickness." Wendy turned around, surprised to see that the deer type creature had spoken and was talking to Natsu and Gajeel.

"Uh...yeah, it happens on any moving vehicle we get on," Natsu answered him.

"I'm the ships doctor, I can try to make you something as well if you would like."

"What's your name," Wendy asked.

"I'm Tony Tony Chopper," he said with a smile, "and that's usopp, he's the ships sharpshooter." They all looked at the other man who seemed to get really nervous at all the attention he was getting.

Wendy looked at them both and said, "It's nice to meet you both, my name is Wendy, that's Gray, Natsu, Levy, Gajeel, Lucy is in the restroom, and that's Erza with your other friend over there.

"Oh...our friends name is Nami," Chopper said thinking it best to tell them her name. At that moment Lucy came back from calming herself down.

"Lucy the crew from that awesome ship came to respond, " Wendy said excited and jumping on the balls of her feet.

"That's great," Lucy said giving her a soft smile.

Wendy looked back at the crew members and replied to choppers earlier question, " And yes I think it would be very wish and helpful if there was some medicine that could help them with their motion sickness, after all I can't keep using my magic, otherwise I'll be drained."

Chopper nodded in understanding, " Ok, I'll mix something up tonight and we can see if it works tomorrow on the ship if not I can try some other things as well."

"That would be a huge help," Wendy said as she bowed.

"Oh...it's nothing," Chopper replied and blushed.

"Alright everyone, a deal has been struck, we leave in the morning so I suggest that everyone get a good nights rest," Erza said walking toward the group, "Your friend is waiting at the front door for you," she said turning to the two crew members. They nodded their heads and headed to the exit while the wizards headed up to their rooms for the night.

Lucy was the last one in group, but she looked back towards the entrance for a moment to watch the crew members head back to their ship, "Why do they look so familiar," and with that thought she followed the others to the rooms to get a good nights sleep.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The following morning, the group of wizards walked down the docks in order to make it to the ship they had chartered. When they made it there Chopper was waiting for them.

"Hey guys, here is the medicine I made, take it and wait five minutes before climbing on to the ship, hopeful you won't feel anything different when you get up on deck," he said handing the two dragon slayers the medicine.

They downed it without even a second glance, and waited while everyone else, beside Chopper and Wendy started making their way up on the deck of the ship.

The entire crew was on deck preparing to disembark, and the wizards stood there in awe of massive ship.

They turned when they heard a voice asking, "So which one of you left the note."

Levy looked over and raised her hand, "That was me, I'm sorry I had no other way of making sure the note stayed," she bowed in apology.

Franky being a complete softy blushed slightly and said, "It's fine I guess just don't do it agian, I built this ship so it's well being is my top prority, my name is Franky by the way, I'm the ship wright."

"Of course,my name is Levy," she said bowing agian and coming up with a smile. "This Lucy, Erza, Gray, and Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy are coming up right now."

They all watched as Natsu and Gajeel both slowly walked on board the ship, and when they didn't fall over immeditately from nausea, they both cheered, while everyone else was just happy that they wouldn't have to take care of them for a change.

"Chopper, would you mind teaching me the recipe to that medicine, it would be a huge help if I didn't always have to use my magic to help them, " Wendy asked.

"Sure, once we leave port and everyone gets settled, I can show you."

"Well with that done," said another voice, "I'm Robin, and I'll be taking you to your quarters." They all followed her without question. The girls and the boys were split up and they set to work getting settled it their temporary home. While the girls were unpacking Robin walked in and let them know they had finally set out to sea and that the captain wanted to throw a party for them. They were all very touched and surprised, so when they finally had finished unpacking they head back on deck where they could already hear they guys starting to be... well guys. They rounded the corner, and saw the rest of the crew for the first time. There was a skelaton playing music, a green haired man drinking sake with tree swords by his side, and on sight of the girls a man who was carrying a tray had heart pop out of his eyes as he sped towards the girls. Wendy hid behind Lucy as Levy scooted closer to her other side and Erza just stood there like the warrior she was.

"Hello there madamoiselles, can I intrest you in any beverages," he said bowing to them.

The three girls that were cowering shook their heads, but Erza answered, "Yes, that would be lovely." The crew seemed surprised that she hadn't been fazed at all by Sanjis craziness.

"Of course," he said running back towards the kitchen. As everyone was finally introduced to each other Lucy couldn't help, but finally realize where she had seen all these people before.

"Are you all by chance a pirate crew," Lucy asked bluntly and everything froze.

She heard a voice behind her answer, "We are."

She smiled, "Do you by chance have a older brother who is named Ace?"

"Yes, but how would you know that," the voice asked.

"Well, I hope I would know, since I am engaged to the captain of this crew after all," Lucy answered slowly turning around to face Luffy.

"Lucy, is that really you," he said coming forward and resting his hand on her cheeck.

"Of course you big goof, who else would know you had a fiancee."

He smiled and wrapped her in a giant hug and swung her around, "I missed you so much."

"WAIT, YOU HAVE A FIANCEE," the rest of his crew yelled.

"Yep, did I not tell you guys that," he said scratching the back of his head, and then the next second he was on the ground with giant knots forming on top of his head.

Lucy laughed and turned back to the crew, "Thank you all for taking care of Luffy."

"It's no big deal," they all said at the same time.

She looked back her friends who were all sitting there with shocked expressions.

"Let me guess, all of you decide to come on the job with out looking or in the case of Erza and Wendy not paying attention to the wanted posters that were part of the job."

All the wizards looked away in embaressment, and Lucy laughed so hard she had to hold her stomache, "You guys are unbelivable," she said after she could finally breathe again.

And after that everyone partied for the rest of the night. While Luffy and Lucy never left each others side.
