(Eve's P.O.V.)

I bolted upright, awake instantly as I leaned over the side of the boat, surprising everyone at my spontaneity. True enough, I looked at my reflection and my long hair had turned a shade similar to Nami's startling orange hair. "Wha-Really?! My hair, the only thing I liked about my appearance, had changed. I groaned and slumped in my seat, momentarily depressed. Luffy was ogling at my hair, eyes shining as he exclaimed, "Sugoi!" A cloud of depression hung over me while Zoro just stared at me. Nami was pointing at me accusatorially , her mouth moving but no words coming out until she coughed and tried again. "H-How the heck did your hair change color?! You were asleep the entire time we were on that weird island!"

I swatted the cloud away, bored of being depressed because I really didn't care, so long as my hair wasn't cut short. Then I would never be able to wear a fedora… I shivered at the thought. I love my fedoras...That are back home...in my worl-NOPE Not thinking about that place right now! I shrugged, in answer to Nami's question. "Dunno, maybe my hair liked your color so much it copied it." I said, sarcastically. I tend to get sarcastic when I'm stressed out. Luffy grinned and took off his strawhat, pointing enthusiastically at his head. "Really?! Do me next! Do my hair!" I face-palmed, hard. Nami just hit him on the head, while Zoro didn't do anything.

I thought about what had happened to us so far, trying to not let my new hair color bother me. So, we beat Buggy...And after that must come...Treasure-chest-guy..and then...Um...Oh! Right! Usopp! I wonder if I could break Jango's chakram...Hahahaha! A smile split my face at the thought, imagining his shocked expression as I caught them easily, chest puffed out proudly. I swatted the thought cloud away, crossing my arms. I shouldn't underestimate Jango...Although, before Jango I think I might have to deal with the..Uh what was it...Gosh dang my MEMORY…! Oh! The Nyaban brothers, Fatty and Twiggy! I didn't really care about their names, since I only remembered one and it'd be weird if I didn't know both of them.

If I remember correctly-Which I doubt you do. Shut up I was talking! Er..Thinking. Anyways, If I remember right, they would act like they were weak and then Twiggy-Mc-Cinnamon-Stilts would steal two of Zoro's swords.. Hmm. I played with my thumbnail, thinking how I would be able to get Zoro's swords back to him. You could fight with him against them! Puuya suggested. I mentally shook my head, No his pride is too strong for that. Remember, he would think he'd be fighting weaklings. I frowned, a thoughtful look on my face.

Luffy interrupted my thoughts as I realized his face was almost touching mine. "Whoa! Dude! SPACE!" I kicked him in the stomach as he laughed. "Haha! Eve play with me~" He whined. I sighed, I'll worry about it later I guess. "What do you want to play?" I asked, surprising both Zoro and Nami. I really shouldn't have asked that, because his face was turning red from thinking too hard. "Oi-Oi! Don't explode. How about, um...I-Spy?" Luffy's face broke out in a grin as he nodded, plopping himself down next to me. "Yosh! Me first! I spy something...Green!" Nami stifled a chuckle. I mentally face-palmed. Of course he'd be bad at this. I decided to humor him and play along.

"Is it...The water?"

"Nope!"

"Is it...The grass stuck on your sandals?"

"Nope! Hehe!"

I pretended to think really hard, purposefully looking anywhere besides at Zoro, who was watching from the corner of his eye.

"Give up yet?" Luffy teased me, I huffed, poking the center of his forehead with a finger.

"No, ya dummy. Is it Zoro's hair?"

"Nope!"

"Great my tur-Wait, what?"

"It's not his hair!" Luffy was giggling behind his hands madly. My eyes flitted down to Zoro's haramaki.

"Is it his haramaki?"

Luffy was on the floor, laughing now. I saw Zoro chuckling, while Nami passed her laughs off as a few coughs into her hand. I shot them each a mildly frustrated glare.

"Nope! I-It's not his haramaki-hehehe!~"

I looked harder now, If it's not Zoro, then what the heck could it be? Everything's brown or black practically!

"The moss on the side of the boat?"
"Nope!
"Zoro's bandana?"
"Nope!
"The seaweed?"
"No! Hahahaha!"
Zoro and Nami weren't even trying to hide their laughter now. I was getting mad, I shot them each a glare. "You know what it is, don't you?!"
Nami and Zoro looked at me seriously, "No."

My eye twitched as Luffy was turning red in the face from laughter.

"Is it the leaves on the apples in the food barrel?"

"No~!"

"Moss on the oars?"
"No!"
"Grime on the boat?"
"No!"
"Grime on Zoro's face?"
"Oi!"
"Hahahaa No~"

I growled in frustration, What the heck could it be?! I sighed and slumped down to the bottom of the boat. "Alright, geez. I give up, what was it?"
Luffy was clutching his sides...Until I kicked them and he managed to calm down. "I-It's your hands!" Everyone looked at him weirdly. "My...hands?" He nodded, "Yosh! The glowing mystery holes in your hands!" I looked at them as he held them up for the others to see. "I win!~" He laughed, while Nami shrieked at the inlets in my hands. Zoro's eyes widened in surprise. How did they not notice…? I sweat-dropped, freeing my hands from his grip and putting them behind my head, leaning back and closing my eyes. "Well, game over. You win Luffy."

I shrieked as my leg was suddenly pulled from underneath it. "LUFFY DO NOT TOUCH ME!" He was holding my foot up in air awkwardly, looking at something. "Sugoi! I found another!" Zoro came over and looked over Luffy's shoulder. "What the heck?" Zoro pulled my sock down lower, to see the holes in my ankles. "It goes straight through!" Luffy exclaimed happily, trying to tug off my shoe. "NAMI HELP ME! HELP! I AM BEING ABUSED!" Nami shook out of her surprise and bonked both boys on the head. "That's not how you treat a lady! Bakas!" She scolded. I sighed in relief, glad they didn't see the one on my chest. I shivered at the thought, tugging my sock back up and my jean leg back down. "T-Thank you."

I suddenly found a sheathed sword at my collar-bone. I looked up to see a frowning Zoro. "What do you want?" He didn't say anything, he just stared at me coldly. The boats were silent as all the attention was on me. Finally he said, "What are you?" I blinked, not expecting that. "I'm human." I replied smoothly. Zoro moved his sheathed sword closer, the tip touching my skin. "Why do you have holes in your body?" I shrugged, what was I supposed to say? I come from another world, and a rabbit with incredible powers decided I needed to become a saint? "Ever had an ear-piercing go wrong?" He was not amused. "It's just how my powers work, I try not to question it." I said quickly, the sword moving back slightly. "Powers?" I nodded, holding up my hands, letting the gloves materialize. Everyone's eyes widened. "Sugoi!" Luffy laughed, eyes shining. Nami looked shocked, unable to form words. Zoro stepped back slightly, in surprise. "How did you do that?" I wiggled my fingers at him. "Maaaaaaa-gic." He snorted, unbelieving but letting it go as yawned. He sat back down and closed his eyes, making it clear we'd talk later.

Nami mumbled something about this crew being filled with monsters, which I chuckled wryly at. She has no idea. I let the gloves disappear and I blinked. Suddenly Luffy was inches from my face again and I socked him in the stomach. "Personal, space. Luffy, I can't breathe with you that close. What do you need?" He smiled widely at me. "Do some magic tricks!" I sweat-dropped. Oh, right. He's a moron. I opened my mouth to speak only to have Nami interrupt me. "I can see the next island!" I sighed thankfully. Now to recruit Pinocchio.

(Usopp's P.O.V.)

"It's true! I just saw it!" Onion exclaimed, panic written on his face. "You're lying." Pepper, Carrot, and I said at the same time. Onion shook his head furiously, dead serious. "No it's true! And the symbol on the flag is of Buggy's pirate fleet!" My eyes bugged out as I looked down at him in shock. "What did you say?!" "It's true! We're dead!" With my quick thinking skills, I quickly turn and ran. "Alas! Time for snacks!" I screeched to a halt and turned around, sighing and patting my "empty" stomach. "Actually, I have this disease that will kill me if I don't eat snacks."

"You're lying!" They accused me. Man, I taught these kids good if they can see through my master-lying skills! "Captain, aren't you always saying you want to be a real pirate?!" Exclaimed Carrot. I sweat-dropped, nodding. "How can a pirate be afraid of other pirates?!" Pepper shouted, Carrot and Onion agreeing with him. "That's right! And there's only three of them…" Now that caught my attention as I sweat-dropped. "What three? Isn't it a big ship?" Onion shook his head, holding up two fingers as he said, "It's just two small boats." I felt a burst of confidence in me and my crew. We can take four measly pirates easily! I am the great captain Usopp! This will be a piece of cake!

I struck a "captain's pose", pointing towards the beach. "Okay Usopp pirates! Let's move! Let's fight for the village and peace!" I bravely lead the way, running towards the beach. "Let's go! Follow me!" I heard a chorus of "Yes captain!" behind me and I smiled. Nothing can stop the Usopp pirates if we're together!

(Eve's P.O.V.)

I stretched and stood up as the boat knocked gently against the shore. I still hadn't figured out what to do about the battle, but I still had time so I wasn't worried. "Wow! There's really an island here!" I chuckled at Luffy's complete ignorance of nautical navigation. At least I know what to expect when you read a map! …At least I know how to read a map! "What did you expect? We followed the map so it won't be wrong." Nami said, already on the shore and looking at the map in her hands. Luffy pointed at it as Zoro and I stored the oars. "Is there a village here?" He asked Nami, who nodded. "Yep, looks like there's a small village!" Suddenly I remembered Kuro, and my face contorted into a furious frown, catching Zoro's attention. "Something wrong?" I shook my head, saying "no". He looked at me for a moment, before climbing off the boat and securing the mooring lines. I followed, the frown still on my face, though slightly softer as I thought deeply.

I wonder if, after I meet Kuro, I'll still like cats. I can't imagine a world where I don't like cats! But… "I don't like some cats." I said randomly, causing everyone to look at me weirdly, as I had just butted into a conversation they were having. "By the way, I just noticed a moment ago...What are those guys doing there?" Zoro asked, pointing at Usopp and the veggies who were now freaking out and ditching Usopp. We all looked up at him as he called after the Veggies. He looked back at us, sweating bullets before he stood up and crossed his arms. "I am the great pirate fleet leader, Usopp, who is in charge of the security of this village! I'm also known as 'Captain!' 'Captain Usopp'!" He announced proudly. My eyes were half-lidded as I listened, trying out Marco's look for the heck of it. Marco's so cool, how does he stay so chill all the time? Maybe I'll get to ask him someday. I mused, completely ignoring Usopp as Nami called him out on his lying and Luffy laughed at him. "I am a man with high self-esteem! Everyone calls me 'The Honorable Usopp!'"

At the restaurant Usopp so kindly took us to…(For some reason)

(Eve's P.O.V.)

As I sat next to Luffy, I watched as Zoro played with a straw in his mouth, stifling a chuckle. He looked over at me, raising an eyebrow. "What?" I shrugged, chewing on some celery. "It's just that, when I first met you I didn't picture you as someone who played with straws. I find it funny." I smiled at him, the celery hanging from my mouth much like his straw. He snorted, looking at my empty cup. "Why don't you drink some sake?" He asked and I had the decency to not look appalled. "I'm underage?" I pointed out, innocently. That grabbed everyone's attention. "How old are you anyways?" Nami asked, trying not to look at the glowing hole on my chest, poorly hidden by my clothes and glowing through it. Gonna need a thick coat. A black one. "I'm fourteen." I said, nonchalantly. My eyebrows rose at everyone's expressions. "WHAT?!" They exclaimed in unison, except for Luffy. Luffy was eating meat.

I sweat-dropped, swallowing the celery stick. "What? What's the big deal?"

"You're so tall!" That was Usopp.

"You're so strong!" Nami, of course.

"You're just a kid!" My eyes snapped to Zoro, suddenly cold. "What?" He looked at me and pointed with a finger, still shocked. "You're just a kid!" I suddenly shot to my feet and slammed my palms on the table, my bangs shadowing my eyes. "Luffy." He looked up from his meat, "Hmm?" I walked out of the booth, turning towards the marimo. "I'm going outside to talk to Zoro. It might get noisy. That alright...Captain?" My voice was dangerously emotionless. Luffy shook his head. "Nope!" Everyone stiffened, myself included. The temperature in the room seemed to drop. "..What?" I asked.

Luffy shook his head again, looking at me with a neutral expression. "I said you can't fight Zoro outside. My crew shouldn't fight. So no." I clenched my fists, hands shaking. I suddenly sighed and walked out calmly, without Zoro. "I'm going for a walk, alone." Luffy turned back to his meat as I walked out the doors.

(Nami's P.O.V.)

"What was her problem?" Zoro asked us, looking confused. I sighed, shaking my head. Men.

Usopp turned back to the table, mumbling something about "scary red-head." Suddenly he looked up, pointing at Luffy. "Oh yeah, you said you were looking for companions?" Luffy nodded, getting the hint. "Is there somebody who wants to be our companion?"
"Let me be the Captain, and I'll join you." You say it like it's an honor or something… We quickly ducked our heads and said, "Nevermind."

Usopp said he had to leave for something and then he was out the door. Weirdo. I thought, sipping my water thoughtfully. Before I could think for long though, three kids came in announcing something about an "Usopp Pirate Crew!" "What…?" I asked, confused. Did Luffy know these kids somehow? "I don't know. Who are they?" He asked, taking a sip from his own drink. Why do they remind me of vegetables? So weird… "Hey...Captain isn't here…!" One said, the pepper-looking one. Onion-head looked stricken with fear and I wondered why. "It can't be that...He's been eaten up…!" I giggled. Kids and their imaginations.

"H-Hey pirates! What did you do with our Captain Usopp?!" They shouted in unison. "Give us back our Captain!" I sighed, watching the events unfold with a small smile. Laughing slightly when Luffy made them mistake him for eating Usopp...And then Zoro had to make it worse.

"Your Captain…" He said, with his devil's smile. "We ate him." They all shrieked "WITCH!" With their eyes bugging out at me. "WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME?!" I roared as they fainted. I turned on Zoro as he laughed. I slammed my hand on the table with a loud smack. "Why did you tell them those weird things?!"

After clearing up that we did not eat Usopp, Zoro explained he said "It's that time again," before Usopp left the shop. "Oh! So it was time to go to the mansion again." Pepper said, relieved. "Mansion? The place where the sick girl lives?" I asked, wondering why the liar would go there of all places. "Yup." Carrot confirmed, to my surprise. Luffy looked at him, curious. "Why would he go there?" He asked the question on everyone's mind. "To tell lies!" Carrot said with a smile, making us sweat-drop. "Isn't that a bad thing too?" He asked. "That's not bad! Actually it's great!" Pepper said. Onion nodded, saying, "Yeah! It's good!"

Luffy looked just as confused as the rest of us for once.

A little ways down the road, in a small grove of trees…

(Eve's P.O.V.)

"Yeaagh!" I shouted, punching down a tree with my gloves equipped. I was breathing heavily, fists clenched as my breath came out in gasps. Sweat trickled down my brow as I glared hatefully at the fallen tree. "RRAAGH!" I spun around and impaled a tree with my elbow spike before punching it hard enough for it to topple over. "JUST A KID?! JUST A KID?! JUST. SOME. WEAK. KID?!" With each word I punched another tree, hearing it creak and slam to the ground I yelled in frustration. "What's wrong Boss? Why are you so mad?" Puuya asked, sitting on a fallen tree, looking sad. Seeing his expression my anger burned down to a low flame. I sighed, running my now naked hands through my hair. "It's just...Whenever I fought back in my world...My little sister would beat me." I admitted, ignoring the stifled chuckles of Puuya. "And I ate a lot of rabbit." That shut him up. Sighing, I sat down and felt my anger leave me. "I would always just..quit." Puuya tilted his head to the side, not understanding. "Quit? Quit what?"

"Quit everything. If there was someone who I had made friends with who stopped talking to me, I'd quit trying to talk to them. If my little sister tried to fight me, I'd quit and let her win. I was a quitter for most things I did. I think...The only thing I didn't quit on..was protecting my friends. Yeah.." I smiled nostalgically, looking up at the sky. "I'd never quit on my friends, ever. I quit on any hope of becoming popular so I could protect my friends from the jerks and bullies of my school. The bullies were intimidated by my height and my big build, so they thought it was actual muscle." I chuckled, remembering scaring the crud out of some people. "I was one of the tallest girls in the school, at five feet, eleven inches." I said, proudly. "I didn't care if it was hard taking the brunt of the bullying. It was nothing compared to the pain of letting it happen to my friends and watching. No, I'd rather die a thousand times over than let my friends get hurt."

Puuya listened quietly for once, just letting me talk. Finally, he spoke up. "But why were you mad at Zoro?" I turned to him, thinking about my answer carefully.

"Because he's my nakama now, and he doubted me. My nakama back home never doubted me. And I'll never doubt them. Never doubt the kids."
