Sorry about the wait... It'll be worth it :S I'm going to be skipping ahead a bit, just a warning. I'm also going to be trying to base most of this from memory, so please don't get mad if I mess something up.


When we arrived at Alabasta, a bunch of Marines showed up, apparently the rest of the crew has seen them before, 'cause they all flipped out. This weird guy called Smoker and Luffy's brother Ace showed up... dude has frigging FIRE POWERS! We were in the dessert for a few days and met this camel named Eyelash who only allowed the girls to ride him (In a way, it's an animal version of Sanji). I didn't end up riding him since there was only enough room for two and I didn't want Nami and Vivi to walk the whole way. The only bad part is that wolves don't do to well in the heat so I was a bit weak once we finally got to the town that Crocodile was in... not that I told anyone that.

Anyways, now I'm in a cell with Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Usopp. Vivi is trying to find a way to get us out by facing Crocodile and this weird lady named Miss All Sunday. As for Sanji and Chopper, I have no idea where they are. The more Vivi is tormented by Crocodile, the more angry I get, and it seems Luffy feels the same way, but for some reason, when he grabbed onto the bars of the cage, he slumped down saying that he got tired fore some reason.

Crocodile started laughing, which was really creepy, and said that the cage was made out of sea prism stone that weakens a devil fruit user. I got mad and learned the hard way that the sea stone can have different affects on certain devil fruit users. "Fine, then I guess I'll have to run into to it so that I only touch it for a short amount of time. I don't care if a get a bit weak after, but for now, I don't plan on watching you hurt my friend" I growled at the strange man. I turned into a wolf and charged the cage, thinking that it would break and I would be weak for a little while. Instead, I ran into it and felt my whole side burn and let out a yelp.

I fell to the ground and changed back into my human form, clutching my burnt side as I heard laughter and a shout. Next thing I knew, Zoro was at my side, looking at me with a worried look. Wait, am I imagining things? Why would the hard-headed swordsman who only on a rare occasion would show emotion look worried?
"Are you crazy?! Why would you run headfirst into that thing if you knew it could harm you?! What were you thinking?!" Zoro yelled at me.

That just sparked my anger. "What, did you expect me to just stand there and watch my friend get hurt like that? There is no way I'm going to let her or any of you get hurt!" I yelled back at him, earning a shocked expression from the swordsman.
"You scared me you idiot." Zoro sighed as he put his head lightly on mine, bringing a bright shade of pink on my face. He lifted his head slightly and looked into my eyes as I stared back into his. I had never noticed before, but his eyes were really pretty. They had a dark grey outlining the irises while an amazing silver color filled the rest of them.

Without thinking, I said," Your eyes are really pretty". I could feel my face grow hot as my blush grew.
"I should be saying that to you," he said as he got up and looked at my red side, a frown on his face. "We need to get you to Chopper".
"No, I'll be fine," I said, trying not to wince as I got up. Unfortunately, he noticed and put his arm around me as support. His grip was strong, but I could tell he was being gentle, which made my heart jump. I don't understand why this keeps happening, I thought to myself as we headed over to the others who had horrified looks on their faces.

Zoro let go of me as we both turned to look at the reason for their terror, only to see that the room was filling with water and Vivi was fighting massive banana-gators. It was terrible to watch, but Sanji ended up saving us by causing a distraction outside and busted us out. We ran as fast as we could to the outside of the city so we could stop a massive war that was about to break out, but Vivi got caught by Crocodile and Luffy decided he was going to take her place, leaving a worried crew and princess to go and try to stop her people from creating a mass amount of bloodshed.


Third person

The battle was intense, but the crew and Vivi managed to pull through. Luffy beat Crocodile to a pulp and saved Vivi's father along with Miss All Sunday, who got screwed over by Crocodile, obviously not a man of his word. Everyone got a well deserved rest. Luffy managed to stay asleep for three days straight, so it wasn't very surprising that the first thing he asked for was food. He eats like there is no tomorrow. Luna thought that was nice to just relax and laugh with her friends. They were all planning to go to this massive bath that the palace had, the boys in one, the girls in the other.

Luffy, Chopper, Usopp, and (for some reason) Eyelash started playing like little kids while Sanji, Zoro, and the king sat back and relaxed in the warm water. In the room next door, Vivi and Nami were talking to each other while Luna went to the other side of the bath and washed herself off. Luffy laughed and said to the king, "Hey old man, where are the girls taking a bath?!" When Vivi's dad pointed it out to them, Sanji and Zoro were shocked.
"Seriously?!" Sanji exclaimed.
"Eh, why not, you deserve it." the king replied.
"Weird pervert, your daughter is in there." Zoro muttered as they went to a balcony to look at the girls.

Vivi looked up to see all of the boys, including her father, staring at them. Nami followed her gaze and got an evil grin. She stood up and turned around saying, "Alright, but each of you owe me 100beri for this." and with that she took her towel off, surprising Vivi and making all of the boys go crazy... all of them except a certain marimo.

When he realized that Luna wasn't with the girls, he went and looked for her. He found her surrounded by bubbles, laying in the water by herself. She didn't seem to notice that Zoro was there, because she sat up, bubbles still covering most of her body, and started to sing in a sweet voice.

So come aboard,

and bring along,

all your hopes and dreams.

One Piece!

The more she sang, the more Zoro felt his heart soar. It was strange for him, this usually only happened to him when he was fighting, but that was usually from the rush of the battle.

Compass left behind,

it will only bring us down.

Your heart will be your guide,

so raise the sails, and take the helm.

That legendary place,

that the end of the map reveals,

is only legendary

'till someone proves it's real

He was acting so strange whenever he was around the wolf girl and he didn't know why. The other day when they were trapped in that cage and Luna got burnt by trying to break it down made him feel like his heart had almost burst out of him. Then to make matters worse, he acted so weird, holding her like that. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that he wanted to hold Luna for a bit longer, a full embrace instead of just holding onto her side to help her get up. What was going on?

Through it all,

through all the troubled times

through your heartaches,

and through your pain

know that I will be there

to stand by you

just like I know you'll stand by me!

Her voice was so amazing, he couldn't believe that she could sing like that. Luna looked really pretty with her hair down, and the water just added to its beauty, making her long hair spread out behind her. When he had looked at her eyes the other day, they amazed him. It was like gazing into the ocean, blues and greens swimming into each other.

So come aboard,

and bring along,

all your hopes and dreams.

Together we,

will find everything that we're looking for.

There's always room for you,

if you wanna be my friend.

We are,

we are on the cruise,

we are!

Luna smiled as she finished her song, looking up to see Zoro watching her, a grin on his face. Luna blushed as she said in a shaky voice, "How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough to hear your amazing singing" the swordsman replied, a slight blush forming on his face as well. "You should wear your hair like that more often"
"What, you mean soaking wet?" Zoro laughed, a sound that made Luna's heart beat so loud she was scared that he could hear it.
"No, I mean you should wear it down, it makes you look really pretty". What am I saying?! Why am I acting like this? Zoro thought, trying to keep his cool.
"What, you saying I don't look pretty unless I wear my hair down?"
"I never said that" the green haired man said, walking away, leaving a blushing Luna to contemplate what her feelings for Zoro might actually be.
