Jess Likes Biting does not one One Piece, but she does own Ryan and Jamie!

I stared at the yelling crowds confused, "Why are they cheering?"

Ryan turned to me and just shrugged, "Maybe pirates are heroes in this town."

"Either way, they can't distract us. We need to find out what we need to finish this riddle."

Ryan nodded to me, and I turned back to the crowds. Something caught my eye though, long blonde hair swiftly turning around to face me. I saw a pair of green eyes blankly staring at me before turning around, to leave.

Those eyes, they looked so familiar yet at the same time they looked so distant, so cold. I closed my eyes and shook my head, but only to see those green eyes again.

"You okay?"

I turned slightly and looked up at Zoro, I quickly forced a smile on my face, "I'm fine!"

He nodded yet something told me he didn't believe me. I ignored him and looked up at our captain; he sat on the railing waving to the crowds with a grin. Usopp was right next to him blowing kisses to the crowd with a proud smile.

Sanji had hearts floating around him as he swooned over how many girls where in the crowd waving to us.

I walked forward towards the railing as we docked; I jumped off the ship with my brother and saw someone step forward from the crowd. I glanced up at the man; he had huge swirls in his hair three on each side of his head ending at his shoulders.

"Welcome, my name is Igarum." He said with a smile, "This is Whisky Peak, town of music and liquor, it's our honor to welcome you."

We stood in front of the large mass of people, and just stared at the man as he continued, "If you don't mind, we would like you to join us and party!"

All was quiet until; Usopp, Sanji, and Luffy jumped forward with wide grins on their faces "SURE!"

"Idiots." Nami mumbled for next to me, and I simply nodded along.

Although, partying did sound like fun we had other things to do. Nami stepped forward to the mayor, "How long does it take for the magnetic field to on this island to be memorized?"

"Memorize? We'll talk about that later! First we party!"

--

I walked around the town, looking closely at anything that could be considered close to solving the riddle which was currently held tightly in my hand. I walked towards different crowds seeing if the riddle would move or glow, but nothing happened.

"So I said to them, 'Don't you dare touch my friends!'"

I turned and saw Usopp with a drink in his hand, and a crowd around him listening to his stories.

I felt some quickly come behind me, I turned my head and saw red hair and green eyes smiling at me.

"Hey."

"Have you found anything?"

I shook my head, "Nothing, not only that it's hard to do anything with all of this going around us."

"You're right."

I sighed leaning forward resting my head on his shoulder, "I swear I'm seeing things."

"Why?"

"Because I keep seeing these eyes every time I turn a corner, or when I close my eyes. I don't understand it."

"You see them too?"

I lifted my head to look at Ryan, "You see them?"

He nodded quietly, "I saw someone in the crowd. I couldn't look away from them it was almost as if I was drawn to them."

I ran a hand throw my hair and sighed, "What's happening to us?"

Ryan put a hand on my shoulder, "Who knows, let's ignore it. Maybe it's just our imaginations."

I looked down at the ground and bit my lip, "Ryan, you don't think it was…"

"No."

I was slightly taken back by the sternness in his answer and looked up at him quietly, "How can you be so sure?"

"She's gone, that's why. She has been for 8 years."

"Maybe she was brought here too though!"

Ryan sighed at the hopefulness in my voice, "Jamie, she's gone. We both know that."

I nodded, "I know."

"Then why bring your hopes up?"

Just as I was about to speak, I turned to a bunch of yelling from next us. "Let's go."

Both of us walked quietly and I smiled at the sight. Luffy was on the ground holding his stomach, "I'm so full."

I laughed, "They seem to be enjoying themselves."

Ryan stayed quiet for a moment before shaking his head, "Did Nami just have a drinking contest with a nun?"

I looked towards the drinking part and laughed, "I guess so."

The mayor stepped up next to us, "Everyone's so happy, I'm glad."

I turned to him with a kind smile, "I think we should get some rest now, could you please point us towards where we will be sleeping?"

Ryan nodded with agreement, "We'll carry them there."

The mayor smiled, "Of course!"

I walked forward and smiled at Sanji, "Sanji, come with me please."

He looked up at me with heart filled eyes, "Of course, Jamie darling!"

I smiled and he stood up giving his farewell to the many girls he was sitting with, I think about 20, maybe 25 at most. I shook my head walking forward and grabbing Usopp, "Come on "Captain" Usopp, time for bed."

Within 5 minutes Ryan and I had collected all of our crew members and we were silently sitting next to each other in the room the mayor had lent us for the night.

I sighed listening to the snores of our crew mates, "You should get some sleep."

I turned and glanced at my brother, and nodded left to right.

"I'm not tired."

He heard rustling from next to us and saw Zoro stand up, "Then both of you come with me."

"Why? Where are you going?"

I stared up at him waiting for him to answer Ryan's question. Zoro just continued standing up, "You'll find out."

He re-adjusted his three swords; Ryan and I stood up and followed him out the door quietly. Quietly we moved throughout the town and on top of the building.

"Zo-"

Just as I was about to speak I heard a few familiar voices down below. Slowly I peaked down below and saw four bodies.

"They ate a lot! Do you think it was worth it to have a party for those stupid kids?"

"Ms. Monday."

I clamped a hand over my mouth. Sadly the person who just spoke, was indeed a woman but looked more like a man. A lot more like a man. It seems we've caught them in the middle of a conversation though. I squinted my eyes a bit more, and saw the "mayor" of Whisky Peak and the two lame strangers we brought here.

"We'll get them at the ports, not only did they eat all of our food. But we also failed to get the whale's meat."

Ms. Wednesday glared at Ms. (coughMRcough) Monday. "We tried our best!"

Mr. Nine nodded with her, "Yeah!"

The mayor turned to them, "Be quiet and look at this! I decided to investigate."

They turned to him and gasped, with some more squinting I noticed a piece of paper held in his hand with a picture of Luffy on it.

"30 million beri!"

I tilted my head to the side; it must be his wanted paper. I want one, too!

"It's shameful to underestimate those pirates, Ms. Monday."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Eight."

I raised an eye brow, he must be with them then. Mr. Eight continued, "Hurry up and get the treasure off their ship. Then tie them up! We can't kill them because then we'd get 30 less money. The government wants to execute them in front of people."

Zoro unsheathed his sword, "Sorry but can't let you do that."

All four heads turned and stared up at the three of us.

Zoro held his sword high, "A real swordsman would not fall for your tricks!"

I raised an eyebrow, does that count Jamie pranks?

"So it's true." Zoro smirked, "This is the place where pirate hunters come and wait for pirates entering the grand line."

I rested my bat on my shoulder and waited for Zoro to continue, Ryan tapped his foot rapidly on the other side of Zoro. "100 pirate hunters!"

I looked down and noticed all of them and gulped, where the hell did they come from?!

"We will be your challengers tonight, Baroque works!"

They four up front gasped, "How did you know our company?!"

I looked down at the crowd; one blonde haired cloaked figure caught my eye.

"When I was a hunter, your company sent an agent to ask me to join you."

I gulped at the green eyes intently staring at me; they were glowing as if they were neon.

"But, I rejected. Every employee's past is a secret and you will be given a code name."

I tensed; the eyes didn't even blink once they only stared.

"And no one will know who the boss is or where he lives. You call yourself 'Baroque Works', you're a group of mercenaries that will follow any order without any questions."

I took a deep breath concentrating more on Zoro's voice.

"So, that's a secret?"

Mr. Eight glared deeply at Zoro, "Looks like we're going to have to add a few gravestones to the cactus mountain."

I smiled swiftly moving over to my brother jumping on his back, my way of getting down quicker and easier.

He smiled, "Hold on."

I held on to him tightly and within a second, I was on the ground surrounded by pirate hunters screaming, "Kill them!"

I heard them gasp and I laughed, I then leaned against Zoro, "Yeah, where did they go?"

They all spun around and gasped at us three. "Shall we start this thing?"

I held the same grin as Ryan, when he said this.

Quickly I pulled my bat back and with one great swing three pirate hunters went back like dominos.

I pushed my way through the crowd looking for the cloaked figure, also knocking out a few teeth on the way. With one more swing and a kick from my foot, I was in front of the green eyes that have haunted me all night.

I could make out the curves of a woman under the cloak. The green eyes shown brightly through her shadowed face. I growled at the smirk I could barely see and tapped my bat against my foot, "Who are you?"

The cloaked figure rumbled with laughter, and I glared at it. All though I was slightly shaken at the sound. It sounded familiar but it held evil in it clearly.

Her hands moved slowly to her hood, and I felt the world pause for a moment. My breath caught up in my throat, and my heart beat stopped bumping loudly against my chest. My tapping stopped, and my eyes stared intently on the person in front of me.

With one blink the play button was hit, and the whole cloak was thrown to the ground near a passed out pirate hunter.

I started from her feet up almost afraid to look at her face. Her feet were covered in black boots that lead up all the way to her knee. From there her thighs were exposed a short skirt covering her bottom half, barely. At her hips were two shot guns one on each side, and a black tank top covering her torso, but then again, barely. A small locket hung from her neck different from her whole black outfit, it was silver and in the shape of a heart but something was scratched into forming a broken heart.

Then my own green eyes scanned upwards and I gasped, under her long blonde hair was a smirking face.

"Mom.."

I hoped you enjoyed it!
