I Do Not Own Harry Potter or One Piece

Zoro yawned as he ducked under a low tree branch. They had landed on another island and had to wait for the log to reset. By Nami's calculations that would be twenty four hours. Zoro pushed through another set of leaves and continued his way through the jungle. The only thing odd about this island, so far, was the various colored plants. They were such a wide range of colors Zoro wouldn't be surprised if every color known to man was somewhere hidden in this forest.

A huge silver fly trap snapped at him but he dodged with a lazy jump and continued on. Nami would still be on the ship at this time, puzzling over something while Ussop would be running around on board, to much of a coward to enter the forest, and the damn cook would have already headed off to find some food to cook up. Luffy had run off over an hour ago, once again yelling of exploring.

He pushed past a large purple plant and suddenly, he wasn't in the forest anymore. Suddenly he was in a clearing that held a small house painted reds with a fire out front. A house itself wasn't odd, but this house in this setting was. The house was a small townhouse with a windowsill garden and white trim around the edges even. He could even see curtains inside the windows. In a the middle of a forest in the middle of the grand line, this was not normal.

Zoro twitched once and turned to the fire. At the fire sat Luffy, eating a chunk of meat like it was the best thing in the world, on a log. Across from him sat another person, hands folded politely from where they sat on another log.

"Oh! Hey Zoro!"

Zoro cautiously waved back at the excited captain but kept his eyes glued on the figure across, hand lingering on his swords.

The man, for it was male, looked to be about twenty or so, no older, but could be younger. He had black hair that looked untamed and reached down past his shoulders. If Zoro was seeing correctly he had some beads tied in the front locks to weigh them down away from his eyes. The man was dressed in what looked like loose fitting pants tucked into tall leather boots and a long button up shirt under a similar leather vest.

The man turned to look at him and Zoro was met with pale skin, delicate features, and the greenest eyes he had ever seen hidden behind small silver glasses frames. He looked harmless, but Zoro had learned not to make such assumptions on appearance. He scanned for weapons and only saw a short curved knife no longer then a foot in a half at his waist with a plain hilt wrapped in leather. The man smiled under his scrutiny and waved a hand, inviting him to sit on the bench beside Luffy across from him. Zoro didn't move.

"What are you eating Luffy?" Zoro asked instead.

"Huh? Oh! It's great! Hari gave it to me!" Luffy beamed, cheeks full of meat.

"You Idiot!" Zoro roared, annoyed. "You don't just eat stuff strangers give you!"

"But Zorooooo! I was hungry and Hari is a great person!"

Zoro twitched but refused to get into another stupid argument.

"I could hear you yelling from the other side of the island Captain."

And the damn cook had arrived. Sanji strode into the clearing like nothing was odd or out of place smoking on a cigarette. Zoro noted that he was a bit tense though, ready to fight if need be.

"Oh yeah, Hari this is Sanji the cook and Zoro my first mate!" Luffy grinned at the man.

"Pleased to meet you." Hari said politely smiling at both of them warmly.

They both twitched at the manners and such. It only made him more suspicious. And if he really was so polite even living out here he was weird. Either way he was suspicious.

"How long have you lived here?" Sanji questioned.

"About two years or so." Hari smiled.

"Yeah! Hari said he got in an accident at his home and there was a bang! And suddenly he was falling into this forest." Luffy said excitedly. "Hari's a magician!"

Sanji rolled his eyes and Zoro scowled.

"Show them you trick Hari!" Luffy grinned.

Hari chuckled but obeyed. He reached next to the fire and pulled a log free from the small pile.

"See the log?" Hari grinned.

"Yes." Sanji sighed.

"Are you sure it's a log?"

"Yes." Sanji rolled his eyes.

Hari smirked and tossed it at them. Zoro got ready to side step the weak throw when suddenly the log…shifted. In midair it rippled and turned into a large snarling cat with huge fangs.

"Oh Shit!" Sanji yelped as the cat landed almost on top of him.

Luckily the cook dodged and danced back as the cat went after her. Zoro drew his sword and went after the man. He was just in reach when suddenly the man vanished. And then Zoro was flying back, his chest sore. He realized the man had moved to fast for him to see. Zoro hit the ground, digging a path behind him and groaned. The man was standing where Zoro had been and he had drawn his knife.

Hari grinned at him, twirling the knife effortlessly. Zoro took the challenge and rose, drawing his other two swords. Time to take this seriously. He attacked again and was more then a little surprised when the man blocked his attacks and dodged the rest.

Sanji was still yelling behind them, the cat chasing him around the clearing, too nimble to be hit by his kicks.

Zoro lunged forwards at Hari only to be faced with his speed again. The man ducked under his attack and then stood, right inside his guard and less then an inch away. Zoro froze knowing he was beat and perhaps even dead. Hari grinned.

A loud cry informed Zoro that the cat had been dealt with.

"Good job!" Luffy crowed as if his first mate was not about to die via the short man, who he had realized really was short compared to Zoro being around fix six or so. "So have ya considered my offer!"

"What offer?" Sanji growled.

"I asked him to be a crew member after he beat me too!" Luffy laughed happily.

"What?" Sanji barked. "His cat almost killed me!"

"Sure it was a cat? Not a log?" Hari grinned.

And Sanji spun and started cursing as he realized there was no cat corpse but a broken log no larger then his arm.

"Nice trick." Zoro grunted around the sword hilt in his teeth. "Illusion?"

"It's magic." Hari grinned. "And you know what Luffy, I think I will join your crew."

"Whoo! I got a new pirate crew member!"

"Just like that?" Zoro growled, not at all amused with the man less then an inch away, knife still pointed at his stomach.

"Well I've been getting bored here." The man shrugged.

Then his eyes twinkled slightly and Zoro wanted nothing more then to lean back.

"Drop the swords."

Zoro winced but did so. They all clattered to the ground. He had hoped the one in his mouth would have cut the man so close to him but it didn't sadly enough.

"Besides," The man continued, "Luffy seems like a good kid."

"So that's it. He asks and you agree?" Zoro snorted.

"As I said, I've been bored. And I think you guys will be fun to hang out with. Perhaps in more then one way."

Zoro blushed slightly, not helping himself, as the man eyed him up and down with a leer. Before he could say a word the man had grabbed him by the front of his shirt and tugged him down into a passionate kiss. Zoro could do nothing more then squeak. Sanji and Luffy roared in the back ground, Luffy roaring with laughter, and Sanji yelling about his eyes burning.

When the man pulled back Zoro lashed out but Hari danced out of reach with ease.

"Ha ha!" Hari laughed. "What a spitfire! I think I'll enjoy this adventure! Hey, Captain Luffy!"

"Yeah Hari!" Luffy giggled.

"Mind if I pursue a romantic entanglement with your first mate?'

"Ha! Go ahead, but be careful! Zoro's really shy!"

Zoro howled with fury and leapt at the both of them, swords drawn. Luffy laughed and bolted back to the ship, Hari beside him grinning like a loon.

"You have everything?" Luffy asked as they ran from the irate swordsman.

"Yup! Now let's hurry before he cuts us up!" Hari laughed. "I'm really going to have fun with him on this trip!"
