Percy and Blue were walking through the festivities to buy provisions. Actually, Percy was dragging Blue along. Blue was certainly happy to be back in his domain, and he was zigzagging between shops and trying to buy things they didn't need, like a box full of masks and such. Occasionally the found a devil fruit, and Percy agreed after much whining that Blue was allowed to tell the owners the name of the devil fruit. Percy was still curious about the nature of this island, however, and after a while he decided that it was enough.

"Excuse me, can I ask something?"

"And then I said… Oh, pardon, did you want to ask anything?"

"Yeah" Percy said. "Why is this island called Carefree Island?"

"Well, because on this island, everyone knows each other! We're all friends! We don't argue, and because everyone share everything with everyone! This island is an island where you never have to watch out, because there are no robbers, thieves and anything of that kind. That's why it's called Carefree island, the island without dispute! We even bond against pirates together, and when you hurt one of us, the whole island is against you!"

Was that even possible? He didn't know. But he knew, that he would have believed it had he not seen the scene at the helpdesk of the marine base. They clearly looked mad at someone. This smelled fishy, maybe even more fishy then the marine officer thought a ship without provisions was.

"And that house upon the mountain?"

"Oh, that's just an old shack. Nobody lives there." The man had flinched when he heard Percy's question, but he had hid it well. Percy almost missed it.

"Okay, thanks." Percy turned around to walk away with Blue, but he missed something. Blue was gone. And his bag of money too. 'oh damn.' Percy thought. Blue was probably off buying tons of cookies. He walked to the nearest food-selling place, and of course Blue was there.

"Hey Blue! We have to get the provisions on the ship!"

"Uh? But I just ordered chicken!"

"No cookies?"

"That's for dessert!"

"Yeah, nice. Stay here then, I'll do it on my own. Do you have the money?"

"Yep, I still have all of my pocket money!"

Percy went off with the provisions. He was extra careful with them, because he hadn't seen the robbers of his money. 'So much for a crimeless island…' When he had stored the provisions he went back to where Blue was. He was just thinking of wether he should report the crime to the marines, when he heard some shouting. Percy looked around to see that most people acted like nothing happened. Some other people, probably not from the island, Percy thought, searched a bit for the origins of the shouting, but gave up after a while and went back to partying. Percy went towards the shouting to find three gentlemanly dressed men beating up a woman around the twenty.

"Hey!" He yelled at them. "What are you doing?!"

The men turned around and were visibly startled when they saw Percy. One of them cursed and they ran away.

"Thank you." The woman told him.

"What just happened?"

"They beat me up."

"Yeah, I saw that. Why?"

"Because that's just how things go on this island."

"They told me that this island is in perfect harmony, so why?"

"Well, for starters, it isn't. There are as many thieves here as on any other island, for example."

"I know. My money got robbed. But that still doesn't explain why they beat you up."

"I can explain that to you, but I'm not going to do that here."

"Why not?"

"I'm only supposed to be out for half an hour."

"Uh, okay?"

"Meet me in my house in 15 minutes. You know, the one up the mountain." She pointed to the shack visible in the distance.

"Okay, but..." when Percy looked around he saw her running away. "What?!"

Percy resumed his stroll to Blue grumbling things like 'what the Hades is wrong with the people here?' and 'This must have something to do with Blue'. When he reached Blue, he saw a pile of dishes stacked upon eachother. Some kind of game was going on, and probably the kind of game that was fun to watch if you weren't stranded in another world.

"AAAAAAAAND HE~'S... OUT! THIS ENIGMATIC YOUNG MAN WINS! THE PRIZE, 10000 BERI! CONGRATULATIONS!" a voice shouted. It sounded like an announcer. Percy had the growing feeling that Blue was involved again.

"How in the world! He must be cheating!" Typical.

"YEAH!"

"Not true! I wasn't cheating!" Yep, that was Blue all right.

"Maybe he has eaten some kind of devil fruit!"

"Now you say so, he does have a tail!"

"YEAH!"

"I didn't eat any fruit!"

"WHA~!" The mouths of the audience fell open from shock in a very comical way.

"AN EVIL!" One man shouted, and he suddenly held a cross. Others copied him, or ran away.

"SCARY!"

"But I do have devil fruits!"

"A DEMON!"

Percy begun to act. When the villagers would realize that Blue really was a demon, he would be in danger. Surely some people would try to catch him and sell him of as some attraction or slave or something. So he snatched the sack of money from the announcer and waved to Blue.

"Blue! Over here!"

"Hey Percy!"

"AAAH! ANOTHER ONE!" The one who took his cross out first had his eyes bulging to Percy as he took out another cross and pointed it to him. Percy tried to ignore him, but when the man was poking his face with the cross, he failed.

"Will you stop that?!"

"YOU SEE! HE'S EVIL!"

"No," another man, probably a visitor, said. "You're just poking a cross in his face."

The hardcore crosswielders looked at him in disbelief and stupidity, and Percy nodded to him in thanks, while he and Blue went off.

"Why do we have to go?"

"We're going to find out what's wrong with this island."

"Is this about that weird house on the mountain?"

"Yeah."

Blue's eyes began to sparkle. "Let's go!"

"We're already almost there."

"Oh."

Percy knocked on the door, and waited while he and Blue could hear the footsteps coming closer, and finally reach the door. Percy got his first good look at the woman when she opened the door. She was fairly beautiful, with black eyes and brown hair. Her nose was a bit pointed, but not as much as some other people he had seen up till now. She wore a low quality coat, some pants that were surpirisingly without holes, and a cloak.

Blue immediately hopped inside.

"Hello! I'm Blue! Who're you?"

"I'm Shizu, nice to meet you Blue. And nice to see you came,... uh..."

"Percy."

"Yes."

"I want to know why they lie to the visitors."

"Oh, well, come in then."

Percy and Blue followed her in the house, which consisted of one room. In the corner stood a bed, there was a sink and a fireplace, and a table. On the table was a devil fruit.

"OH!" Blue's enthousiasm dripped on the ground. "CAN I TELL HER? PLEEEEEASE?"

"Tell me what?"

"Your devil fruit! I know which one it is!"

"And we'll tell you after you told us what's wrong with this island."

"Awww..."

"Yeah, Percy! Let me just tell her!"

"Later, Blue, this is important!"

"No it's not! You just want to know!"

"Yeah, but..."

"PLEAAAASE!"

After Blue was gagged and bound, Percy turned towards Shizu.

"We'll really tell you, but tell me about the island first."

"Okay, okay." She took a book from the table and opened it. "It happened when the island was found and the city was founded..."

The Story of Carefree Island (Shizu POV)

Back then, there were three great families that worked together, for some reason all named after a class in society: The Commoners Family, The Nobility family and The Rich Guys.

-Uh, you do know that that sounds stupid?-

The names are real, Percy, I didn't make it up. Anyway, they were good people and they wanted to make a city of harmony, a place without discord and crimes. So they called the island Carefree island, because they wanted everyone to have no sorrow on this island. They even had appointed marines as a council to solve eventual problems. It worked well a long time, but when the bosses of the three great families were going to die, they gave the leadership of the island to the heirs, three snobs. They were the second generation. They couldn't stand eachother and always boasted, so a rift started to form between the three factions. The rift continued to grow while they reigned, but eventually, they grew old as well. But this time, there were four heirs. One from the Commoners, two from the Rich Guys, and one from the nobility.

-The commoners had twins?-

No, the leader from the Rich Guys had a sister, who had a son earlier than the leader himself. The marines had declared that the son from the first daughter had more right to be an heir, as he was older and wiser than the son of the second daughter, and more gifted in studies and most other things. But the Rich Guys leader didn't want that. Luckily for him, a thief was roaming the island at the time, so he spread rumors around the townfolk that Shickley (the Rich Guys leader's Sister's son heir) was the thief in question, for nobody knew the true identity of the thief. Shickley was exhiled to this place on the mountain, and the other Rich Guys heir became the next leader.

The Commoners leader from the third generation was a smart person, who noticed there was a rift. He also noticed that because of the rumors about Shickley, there was a way to solve this. He visited Shickley and humbly asked him help in his masterplan to make the island Carefree again. He would blame everything that ever happened on Shickley, and because everything would be Shickley's fault, the villagers wouldn't be able to blame each other anymore (cause all the blame was with Shickly), and that would make the island carefree again.

-That sounds ridiculous!-

The original deal was probably a little bit different, but this dairy doesn't say too much about it. But of course, Shickley would be rewarded greatly, and the Commoners leader would make sure that Shickley's descendants would not be burdened by the deal. Shickley, humble as he was, saw the benefit for the island, and agreed. The plan worked, and the island became carefree again. Shickley had a wife and son, who, knowing the deal, respected him greatly, the Commoners leader and he remained friends, and everything was well. But then the Commoners Leader died. The third generation Rich Guys leader, who knew of the deal (for he was a leader too), still feared that Shickley would take his leadership. But without the Commoners leader to stop him, he voided the deal and proceeded to humiliate and blame Shickley even more. Shickley's wife and son became worried, but Shickley kept himself from them, in fear that the Rich Guy would start to humiliate his wife and son too. Then Shickley died, and the rift between the factions slowly began to open again.

One day, the Rich Guys leader got his hands on proof that Shickley had a son from the main docter on the island. He had tortured the main docter to get it, for the main docter was a honorable follower of the late Commoners leader, and refused to speak at first. A man-hunt ensued, but when the Rich Guy threathened to kill Shickleys wife, the son gave himself in. The Rich Guy immediately humiliated the son and forced him to take the same role as his father, but now as some kind of slavery, not as an agreement. To ensure that he would not escape, he bribed the council with so much money that they set an 300 million Beli bounty on him and all his descendants. So now its more like some kind of tradition to beat the descendants up rather than just blame them.

-That's sadistic. Just plain wrong.-

"That must be really harsh."

"It is." sadness was visible in her eyes.

Percy ungagged and unbound Blue. He whispered something in Blue's ear. Blue's eyes began to twinkle and he began to smile happily. "Yeah, let's tell her."

"Do you want to know which devil fruit that is?"

"Yeah!"

Blue walked to the devil fruit and examined it. "Hey, Percy, it's the fruit-fruit Fruit!"

"What's the fruit-fruit Fruit?"

"Makes you able to eat two other fruits, or that's what Blue told me."

"That's AWESOME~!" she ran to the fruit and inhaled it in one bite.

"But only two, and until you do, you just can't swim." Blue said.

"Darn! Should have waited!" She complained.

"Hey, do you want to go with us?" Blue asked her.

"Sure. If you don't mind my ridiculously high bounty."

Percy was shocked. "What?! You hold the balance of the island and you can throw it away that fast? I understand why, but still, that's really fast!"

"No, we're pirates." Blue answered, while he ignored Percy.

"Really? I don't recognise you from any wanted poster I've seen."

"Well, we're only pirates since yesterday, so..."

"A-HA! I knew you were pirates!" Captain Rally stood in the door-opening.

"And you! Trying to go away aren't you?! Then I have to arrest you!"

"Well," Percy said. "Time to go!"

The three ran away.

"Percy! Can't you stop time?"

"Are you an idiot? We'll get found out! I will only use tranquility!"

The people they passed suddenly became very dreamy, and some collapsed.

"Hey, how did you do that?" Shizu asked Percy.

"I'll tell you when we're away from the town."

The flight wasn't much of a flight. They ran, yes, but they didn't have any pursuers, as anybody that came close to Percy became victim to his Tranquility. They did, however, have to dodge a few cannonballs (Percy swore that the people here must be mad to fire at their own island), but in the end, they reached the ship. Percy used his ship-powers, and the three (including a very baffled Shizu) sailed away from Carefree island.

"Understood, Admiral, I will catch them."

"You'd better, Rally. You may not know this, but Carefree island will fall apart if she's gone."

"But... She's the Witch! A Pest! A Plague, carrying bad luck wherever she goes!"

"Shut up and catch her." The admiral glared at Rally, making him gulp.

"Okay admiral."

Admiral Akainu put the horn on his DenDen Mushi. Now that was finished, he had to cover up the Straw Hats victory over Sir Crocodile. The world wasn't allowed to know what happened there, otherwise there would be more Pirate Symphatizers. Something he didn't want.

The end, you liked it? Next chapter will be out in a while, but it will be out! Next time: Explanation to Shizu and BUGGY! YEAH! Review or PM if you have anything to say.

P.s. If you think Percy is too OOC, remember that Blue is technically a whiny, smart, childish, overly playful, useless brat with a love for cookies, so Percy has to care for himself ánd Blue. Which would make anyone grumpy. As he is the one that has to make decisions, he has to be more responsible than he was before. Maybe that'll change when Shizu comes in, maybe not.
