Hello~ Well, I thank ya'll for the reviews! :D Here's the next chap~
Chapter 15:
"Oi Akane! Get outta here!" Luffy called out to the first-mate who was sleeping in the woman's quarters. He waited for a few seconds but there was no response. "AKANE!" Luffy slammed the door open making Akane jump up.
"What happened?!" She whined, rubbing her eyes.
"We reached an island!" He jumped up and down and dragged her out in the sun.
"Eh?! Really?!" Akane let herself be dragged and reached the railing to see a huge island with mist surrounding it- though it didn't even look like an island, it was more like a ship. "That's freaking creepy!" She gasped.
"Really? I thought it was cool! It reminds me of where Brook lives!" Luffy laughed.
"Yohohohoho, I certainly do feel like its home here." Brook popped out of nowhere and began sipping some tea.
"It-It's creepy!" Usopp, Nami, and Chopper hugged each other in fright.
"I think it's quite SUPER!" Franky laughed.
"Ara, it has quite the mist here. I wonder if there could be any ghosts here." Robin chuckled, looking towards the trio.
"D-Don't say that R-Robin!" Usopp begged.
"NAMI-SWAN, AKANE-CHWAN, ROBIN-CHWAN~!" Suddenly Sanji came out of the kitchen. "I BOUGHT SN-" He began but stopped when he saw where they were. "Ah? When did it turn into dark?!"
"Isn't it time to sleep?" Zoro yawned, standing up.
"No! It's day time!" Nami assured. "I'm positive!"
"Yeah when we dropped off Ace… It was exactly a day ago…" Akane noticed.
"Is that so?" Zoro yawned once again and walked towards the railing. "It's misty."
"No shit, marimo." Sanji muttered.
"Ah?! What was that Ero-cook?!" Zoro snapped.
"You didn't hear me?!"
"Now, now, Zoro-san, Sanji-san. We should be focused on what's ahead of us." Brook told them staring at the huge creepy 'boat' that was coming closer.

"H-How the hell did we get separated from the others?!" Akane sighed, shaking her head.
"How should I know?!" Zoro snapped, crossing his arms.
"Whaddya mean how should I know!? It's 'cause of you in the first place! You just had to wonder off and I just had to follow you!"
"You weren't paying attention! That's not my fault!"
"Well sooorry for looking around the island! I saw your green head in front from the corner of my eye, and I end up somewhere different from the others!"
"Well it doesn't matter anyway! Usopp, Chopper, and that annoying woman got separated too!" Zoro huffed.
"Yeah, but-" Akane began but was interrupted by a hand on her shoulder. She shrieked and turned to see a zombie?! "EH?!"
"You…. Who are you?" The zombie questioned, tilting its head.
"Ah? I could ask you the same thing." Zoro stepped up, not at all fazed at its appearance.
"H-Hey Zoro, that's a-"
"I'm a Zombie." The half-dead being answered simply.
"EH?! You admitted it so easily?!" Akane gasped.
"Zombie? What the hell are you talking about?" Zoro scoffed.
"No… Zoro… I think it's telling the truth. Its head is practically off its neck..." Akane sighed.
"Hey." Another Zombie came and whispered loud enough for Zoro and Akane to hear. "Maybe they're with those scaredy-cats from before?"
"Scaredy cats?" The two looked at each other and nodded. "It's them three." They both said together.
"Oh if they're with them then they should be weak!" The main zombie chuckled and was about to attack them but was too late for Akane and Zoro both hit them first.
Page break~
"Oh, we're so sorry." The zombies had gathered together and were all beaten up. "We didn't know that you were that strong." They chuckled nervously.
"Hey, where are they?" Akane demanded.
"E-Eh?"
"Where are our nakama?!" Zoro asked with more force.
"A-Ah they should be at the mansion."
"Mansion?" The two repeated.
"Y-You mean you two haven't noticed the huge building a mile away from here? Like right behind you?" One zombie asked.
"Eh?"
Page break~
"O-Oi Nami! This place is creepy! Hurry up and get out!" Usopp practically begged, standing next to Chopper, guarding Nami who was taking a shower.
"Shut up Usopp! Gimme a few more seconds!" Nami snapped.
"Hurry Nami!" Chopper joined.
"Shut up!"
Page break~
"This place is cool!" Luffy laughed, admiring the mist.
"Are you serious? There's no-one here! Not even woman!" Sanji cursed. "Though Robin-chwan is here~" He cooed and then went back to normal. "But Nami-swan and Akane-chwan got separated… tch."
"You're really weird Sanji bro." Franky laughed.
"Yohohohoho he's not the only one." Brook chuckled.
"Ara, are those zombies over there?" Robin noticed with her usual poker face.
"EH?! WHERE?!" Luffy jumped.
Page break!
"O-Oi… this place…" Zoro sweat-dropped, staring at the beheaded frames in the mansion.
"It's… different huh?" Akane half laughed.
"Who are you?!" A new voice asked and Akane jumped to see a pig talking. A PIG WITHOUT A BODY TALKING!
"WH-WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THIS PLACE?!" She shouted in surprise.
"Oh, you finally snapped." Zoro laughed.
"Shut up!"
"Who are you?! Are you with the ones who came before?!" The pig demanded once again.
"Ah?" Zoro glared at the pig. "Where are they?"
"I don't have to tell you!" The animal cackled while the green-haired swordsman walked towards it. He unsheathed his sword and pointed it towards the animal.
"Ah?"
Page break~
"So that pig said that if we go through this hall… we should see them?" Akane sighed. "That's too easy and suspicious."
"Well, that's all we got." Zoro simply stated and eyed the walls around him. There were frames and pictures of many people and animals that seemed to follow the two with their eyes.
"It's pretty suspicious, you know." Akane repeated, noticing the same.
"Hmm… was it right here?" Zoro then turned and Akane yelped when she noticed he was going the wrong way.
"You idio-" She followed him into a door and then the door smashed shut. "E-Eh?"
"Ah? What happened? Why'd it get so dark?" Zoro turned and then jumped when he heard Akane scream- something he hadn't heard before. "What the hell happened?!" He demanded, trying to make his way through the small room- though he couldn't really since the room was about the size of him spreading his arms.
"I-I can't breathe! It's too tight in here!" She muttered, squatting down and squeezing her eyes shut.
"AH?! Are you an idiot?!"
"Sh-Shut up!" She demanded, putting herself in fetal position.
"Don't tell me you're afraid of tight spaces?!" Zoro half laughed.
"Shut up!" Akane repeated, curling up even more.
"Wow, wow. And here I thought you were fearless." Zoro teased.
"I told you to shut up!" She said now seriously. "C-Can you please just get us out of here?"
"Oi, oi. What the hell? She's seriously scared? I never could imagine her acting like this…" Zoro gulped. "S-Sure…" He stuttered, now adjusting his eyes to the dark he could see her trembling. "Why the hell is she scared of tight spaces?"
"Hurry up!"
"Tch." Zoro scoffed and then unsheathed his sword; he cut the door open with ease and Akane ran out with relief.
"Ahhh!" She breathed in and out and stretched her arms. "S-So much better!"
"What the hell was with that?" Zoro asked, confused.
Page break~
"I don't know what you're talking about." Akane shrugged and walked off.
"Ah?! Oi!" Zoro quickly followed the girl. "Whaddya mean by that?!"
"I just told you~" Akane grinned.
"You seriously change your mood too quickly…." He sighed. "Why are you afraid of closed places?"
"I don't know." She simply stated.
"That doesn't make any sense!"
"Augh!" Akane stopped where she was and turned around to the swordsman. "It's none of your business!" She snapped and turned back, walking ahead.
"Tch. What's up with her?"
Page break~
"KYAAAAH!" Nami shouted, running away. "Wh-Where am I!?"
"Shit! Just come back here!" A lion-looking man chased the navigator.
"KYAAAH! I DON'T WANNA!" Nami ran outside screaming.
Page break~
"Oi, Usopp! Shouldn't we help Nami?!" Chopper gulped.
"L-Let's wait a while…" Usopp stuttered.
Page break~
"Ara, where did Sanji-kun go?" Robin now noticed, turning around.
"Ah? Did he disappear?" Franky wondered.
"Maa, that's ok. Sanji's strong." Luffy laughed it off. "Let's go look for Moriah!"
"Why are we looking for him again, Luffy-san?" Brook asked.
"Because~ I heard that he's the boss here!" Luffy told them. "And I wanna meet him!"
"Why?"
"Ara, is it because he's a Shichibukai?" Robin guessed.
"Really?! How do you know that sis?!" Franky gasped.
"Oh? You know that too Robin?" Luffy grinned. "Yeah. He's in the same group as Hancock and Mihawk- I'm interested in seeing just how strong he is!"
"But I heard that he's the weakest of all of them, Captain-san." Robin chuckled.
"Is 'at so? Well I guess I'll find out!" He whistled.
Page break!
"Eh? Zoro~? Where'd you go?" Akane called for the swordsman who disappeared from behind her. "Hmm… that's weird…" She sighed and was about to walk off when she was yanked from the bottom of her feet and was flipped upside down. "E-Eh?!" She was about to shout but something covered her mouth and her body.
Page break~
Akane found herself in a really tight-spaced place. "Let me out!" She practically begged. "I don't know who the hell you are but-" She was about to continue but was stopped by a thunk. "HEY! LEMME OUT DAMMIT! I'M GONNA SO FUCKIN' KILL YOU!"
"Shut up!" She heard a voice demand as the case she was in flied open. She jumped up herself for breathe. "Damn… what the hell is up with today?!" She questioned herself aloud and then turned to see a huge man sitting a few feet away. "Who the hell are you?"
"Shishishishishishishishishis hi is she strong?" The huge man ignored Akane and asked his little minions- which were animals.
"We don't know Moriah-sama!" One answered. "She seems to be the friend of the people who have infiltrated here!" The other added.
"Moriah? Where have I heard that name before….?" Akane wondered.
"Shishishishishishishi I see. If I don't know her name and she isn't in a wanted poster, then she wouldn't be too strong."
"AH?! WHAT WAS THAT YOU BASTARD? I'M PLENTY STRONG!" Akane jumped up and then noticed that her arms were tied behind her back. "The hell?"
"Shishishishishishi, I don't quite believe you! Well, whatever. Bring her here."
"E-EH? Hey, wait!" Akane fidgeted as the two little animals dragged her to their 'master'. "What do you want with me?"
"Your shadow, that's all." Gecko answered, smirking evilly.
"My shadow?!" She repeated, confused. Then Akane's eyes widened with realization. "Y-You're Gecko Moriah! The Shichibukai!"
"Shishishishishishi you seem to know just who I am. That's good." He smiled once again. "Unlike your friends over there." The Shichibukai pointed to the side.
"Eh?" Akane turned her head and her eyes widened to see both Sanji and Zoro lying on the floor, passed out. "You bastard!" She got up with difficulty. "What did you do to them?!"
"Same thing I'm about to do with you." He replied and just picked out Akane's shadow from her 'body'.
"E-Eh?! Oi! My shadow?! Stop!" She panicked.
"Shishishishishishishi!" Gecko Moriah laughed as he cut Akane's shadow from her body, causing her to pass out. "Good night."
To be continued! That's a really creepy ending omg! Hahahaha well I decided to put the Thriller Bark arc first! :D And I'm sorry if I jumped around too much… it was necessary, I did not want to type all what happened during that since you guys know, and that would just get boring! Well, until next time~ :D
