Chapter 16. Here goes.

Vivi had a really bad feeling. She wasn't sure where it was coming from or what it could possibly be related to, but all she knew was that whatever it was, it was coming soon.

Thankfully, none of the crew picked up on this right away. The last thing she wanted to do was give them reason to worry, especially if it was about her. Instead she decided to shun the feeling and go on with her life out on the sea.

Ah, the sea. No matter how many times she saw it, she always felt like it was her first time ever looking at it. Mainly because it was the grand line, which was always full of surprises no matter how many times someone set sail out onto it. Although the sea was relatively calm right now, she was still keeping a close watch out for anything. This particular part of the sea had been known to produce numerous deadly storms, including the ever unpredictable cyclones that plagued the grand line.

Fortunately, the cyclones weren't going to be any problem for them, as they had quite possibly the best navigator on the seas on their crew. Said person was currently lounging on the deck, in her green bikini, with the cook standing by waiting for her to ask him to do anything she could think to make him do. Vivi actually had to roll her eyes at that. She respected Sanji and everyone else on the crew well, but there was a fine line between caterer and slave, but unfortunately Sanji had crossed that line long ago. Like probably when he first met her. On the flip side of that same coin, Nami did take advantage of this far too often and enjoyed the spoils of this more than she should have. Then again, she figured that she enjoyed it as well so she shouldn't really talk, now should she?

Besides, the next island was in sight and she was ready to take in a little land right about now anyway. "Everyone, the next island is coming up."

Nami looked up, checked her log, and then turned to Sanji. "Sanji-kun. How are we on food?"

"We are almost out, Nami-swaaan." Sanji spoke in his love struck daze.

"Damn that Luffy. Where is he anyway? I haven't seen him much today and he isn't on his regular spot." She looked at the empty head of the Going Merry.

"Oiiiiiiiiii, Nami." A familiar voice called from the last place she wanted it to come from; her tangerine grove.

"Luffy! Why are you in there? Get out now!" She nearly stormed her way over to the grove.

"Awww, but it's so nice and cool in here. It would be a good place to sleep." He whined from his spot.

"No, you are not sleeping in here! I already know that the next day all of my plants would be in your stomach! So, no it isn't a good place to sleep." She finally found him hunched over something.

"But they seem to think so." He pointed at a nest of birds that were currently sleeping.

"What? What are they doing here?" Her face softened a little.

"They flew in a few days ago. I thought that they were gonna try to take your fruit so I thought I'd watch them. So far they haven't" Explained the captain.

Nami smiled at this. 'Maybe I should be so hard on him. I mean he was just trying to help, even if it was in his own weird way.' "Thank you, Luffy, but I will take over watching them from now on."

"Ok. Hey, did Vivi just say that we were coming up on an island?"

"Yes, we are. We need to get a few provisions as well, thanks to your stomach." She tried to sound menacing but it came out almost like a joke.

"Ok, then let's get everyone together to plan this trip out." Luffy jumped from the grove and called everyone in.

"Ok, so what do we need?" Nami was the first to speak.

"First thing is food. That is a given with Luffy's stomach." Sanji spoke.

"I also need to find some supplies. I'm running low on ammunition and there are still some repairs that need to be made to the Merry." Usopp was next.

"Princess-san said she saw some old stone structures near the center of the island, and I would like to explore them." Robin said.

"I need to restock on some of my medical supplies. It seems like the deeper into the grand line we get, them more powerful enemies we meet, and the more injuries we take." Chopper was the next to speak.

"And I need to find a good spot to draw my map of this place. I think there should be a place on the side of the island that would be good." The navigator said.

"I also need to catch up on some of my training. Aside from that move that I used to beat that Mr. 1 guy, I have a few more that I need to master." Zoro's statement intrigued Robin.

"Mr. 1? You were able to defeat him? How?"

"I still don't know myself really. But somehow I had the power to actually cut through steel. I need to figure out how to call upon that power at will."

"Ok and what about you two?" Nami looked at Luffy and Vivi. And then she reconsidered her question. "Never mind Luffy. What about you Vivi?"

"Oh I don't need anything right now. So I guess I'll stay and guard the ship with Luffy. You know, just to make sure it doesn't go floating off anywhere."

"Thank you, Vivi."

Soon the ship was docked, and the six members of the crew that were leaving were ready to go.

"Alright everyone, let's try to be back before sundown alright?" The navigator was a little hyped about this.

And she got an equally hyped answer. "Aye!" And with that they split off in their separate directions.

On the ship Luffy and Vivi had decided to sit and rest for a while. However before her eyes closed a thought passed through her mind. 'Everything and everyone is happy and healthy, so why can't I seem to shake this bad feeling?"

In the bush next to the ship)

A pair of spectacled eyes watched as the crew split off into their own separate directions, leaving the captain and the princess still on the ship. He smiled at this. "Just like he said." He stood and turned away from the ship. "Stealth Walk." Suddenly he disappeared from where he was standing.

Moments later, he reappeared in front of his own crew.

"It was just as you had planed Kohza. Six of them have all split into different directions to do 'errands'. There are two remaining on the ship. Straw hat and the princess."

Kohza smiled at that. "Perfect. That couldn't have gone any better if I had written it out. Now all we need is…" Bellamy came jumping his way back to the ship. "The town has been completely cleared. There is not a single soul left here."

"Perfect. Ok, you stay with me. The rest of you, go out and take on his crew. Hurt them, bloody them, cripple them, but don't kill them yet. I want to save that for when we bring them in front of that straw hat bastard and take away his only reason for living."

"How cruel. How devious. How utterly spineless. I love it." Buggy spoke up.

The others were busy planning how they would take out the other members when something actually hit Kohza.

"Wait, Kuro. You said that two were on the ship and six went off into different directions. That would make eight members."

"Yes I noticed that as well. It would seem that they have picked up a new female member. The strange thing is, I think I have seen her somewhere before."

"Hmm, well nothing to worry about. She will get the same treatment as the others. Now everyone, go out and destroy."

Arlong, Kuro, Krieg, Buggy, Alvida, and Wapol all headed out to their destinations to meet with the straw hat crew. And commence with their utter destruction.

"Come Bellamy. Let's go say hello to the honored guest." Kohza began his walk along the shoreline with Bellamy close behind.

'Straw hat, Vivi, get ready. Your worst nightmare has come.'

Ok, originally, I wasn't supposed to start this until a little later, but unfortunately I couldn't think of a way to fill the space in between, so I jumped straight into it. Hope you all like it, so R&R please.
