First I want to apologize to all my readers. I made a horrible mistake on my last chapter. I was reading 'One Piece: A New Storm' as I was writing the last chapter and accidently copied a line from that story. So I wanted to apologize to the readers adn the author of 'One Piece: A New Storm' for what happened.

Second, to answer Ved17's question the actual answer is in this chapter but, yes and no. My guy will change his wardrobe at least once and after that he will just have different colors to his new wardrobe.

Now, on with the new chapter.


Chapter 7: My Loguetown Adventure


The next morning after our little party was not so eventful. Everyting pretty much went as it did in the show. You knwo, about to sail off Nami runs through a crowd of people stealing their wallets and jumping on board the Merry.

"Alright everyone, let's give our new nakama an officail welcome!" Luffy shouted holding a mug.

Me and everyone else grabbed a mug and had small celebration that Luffy and Usopp wanted to be longer, but a quick beating from Nami changed their minds.

"Hey, Usopp!" I called out to him.

"Huh? Oh, hey Cortez! What did you need?" he asked.

"I was wondering if you could make some kind of tarp or small roof for the crow's nest?" I asked him.

Usopp gave me a questioning look. "Why would I need to do that?"

"Well, I figured I'd be the look-out and I don't want to be rained on." I answered.

"We normally just do shifts on who watches." Usopp told me.

"True, but I can get up into the crow's nest much fast then almost any else on this ship." I replied.

Usopp stopped argueing after that and got to work on the 'roof' for the crow's nest.

I looked around the ship to see what everyone else was doing. Zoro was sleeping, no real suprise there. Nami was argueing with I think it was a News Coo about the price, and Luffy and Sanji were inside the kitchen. Well, Luffy was until Sanji kicked him out o the kitchen.

"Well you guys keep it down!" Nami shouted as she resumed reading her paper. All of the sudden a piece of paper fell out of her paper.

Luffy grabbed it to look at. As soon as he did his face split into a large grin. "Shishishi! I got a bounty guys!" he shouted showing all of us his wanted poster.

"The back of my heads wanted to." Usopp pointed out.

"I wonder what mine will be." I thought out loud.

"Idiots!" Nami shouted as she clubed me, Luffy, and Usopp. "Having a bounty is the worst thing! Now we'll have marines and bounty hunters after us!"

"Sound like fun!" Luffy shouted in reply.

"We are pirates Nami. We all are going to get bounties eventually." I told her.

"Alright! To the Grand Line!" Luffy hollered.

All of the sudden a marine ship sailed up right next to us. A man with light purple hair, well dressed and two knuckle dusters began shouting at us.

"Straw Hat Luffy! You are under arrest! I, Lieutenant Iron Fist Fullbody will be taking you into custody!" He shouted. "Men, Open Fire!"

They fired some cannons at us, but luckily Luffy was one step ahead.

"Gomu Gomu no Fusen!"

Luffy swelled up like a ballon deflecting all the incoming cannon balls

"Hey, Luffy think you can give me a lift over there?" I asked.

"Sure!" he shouted as he wrapped an arm around me and threw me onto the ship.

I managed to land on their ship nice and safe by sticking to the side of their mast.

Most of the lower class marines were freaking out at the fact I was sticking to their mast. But, I just dropped from the mast in front of Fullbody.

"I see your part of Straw Hat's Crew." Fullbody said keeping his compsure.

"That I am." I answered. "But, let's talk here. I honestly don't to cause you guys to much trouble, so if you would be so kind as to leave before things get ugly I would appreaciate it."

Fullbody and the entire ship of marines began laughing at what I said.

"I don't see what's so funny." I commented.

"You!" Fullbody shouted. "You think we're just going to turn around and leave because, you asked? What are you going to do? Your all alone on a marine ship."

"That is true." I commented. "I guess I have to show you I mean buisness."

I reached for the mast and channeled some chakra into my arms to increase my strength. Lifting as hard as I could I managed to rip the mast up.

Every single marine on the ship was scared stiff. But, I didn't stop there as I swung it like a basball bat. Knocking all the marines that were not smart enough to duck out of the way.

I then threw the mast overboard.

"Now, even if you still don't want to leave. You have no way of following us." I told the few remaining ones.

They were still jaw dropped at the feat I displayed. So, I shrugged my shoulders and jumped towards the Merry.

"Yo! Luffy!" I shouted.

Luffy was smart enough to realize what I wanted him to do as he stretched his arm out to grab me.

"That was sooo Cool!" Luffy shouted when I landed.

Usopp was god-smacked, Zoro and Sanji didn't seem to care all that much.

"Dumbass!" Nami shouted as she hit me in the back of the head sending me into the deck. "Do you realize how much more trouble you amde for us!?"

"Didn't we alreay go over this?" I asked.

The answer I got was another whack to the head. "That's not the point!" Nami shouted.

After we sailed away from Fullbody's ship and Nami calmed down. She began discussing how we were going to get into the Grand Line.

I didn't pay attention to the conversation. Until, Luffy began shouting about wanting to see the famous island of Loguetown.


The next morning we came up on Loguetown.

"Looks like we're here!" I announced from the crow's nest.

The rest of the crew came out to look at the island.

"I hope they have lot's of meat!" Luffy shouted.

"It's a pretty big town. I can find a lot of supplies here." Sanji added.

"I need to get me some replacement swords." Zoro added.


After we docked and Nami handed Zoro and some others money we headed off.

'Why didn't you get some money from Nami?' Morgan asked.

'What and have her charge me until I'm dead? No thank you.' I answered.

I was walking around for an hour or so until I came up on a bunch of burly guys crowded around each other.

Pushing my way through I saw that they were punching a machine and every time they would hit it a number would pop up.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"The national 'Strong Man' contest." I guy to my right answered.

"Contest? They have a prize?" I asked.

"Sure do. The strongest get's 250,000 beli." the guy answered.

My eyes widened at that price. I may not know much about the currency but, I'm smart enough to know that's a lot of cash.

"Alright who's next?" the announcer asked. "Come on now. The highest score so far is only 652! Can anyone beat it?"

"I can!" I shouted.

The announcer and crowd turned to look at me.

"You!" A guy shouted. "You honestly think you can beat my score?"

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm the three year running champion, Jax." he answered.

Jax was around six foot tall, very muscular, a red mohawk, a white muscle t-shirt, and blue shorts.

"Well, Jax. A new champion is about to be crowned." I replied as I stepped forward.

"Yeah, go right a head...shrimp." Jaz said, causing a lot of the other guys to laugh.

"Alright, when your ready, go right a head." the announcer told me.

I channeled some chakra into my fist and swung as hard as I could at the machine.

All the big buff guys quickly shut up, when the machine flew back into the building behind it.

I turned to the announcer. "I'll take my prize now."

After I got my cash I began walking around again, this time looking for stuff to buy.

I came across a clothing store and purchased some nice selections. A pair of black finger-less gloves and a few vest in different colors.

'Can after all that I have...120,000 left.' I thought.

'Were the clothes really needed?' Morgan asked.

'I didn't want to wear the same exact thing every single day. Also, this blazer does restict my movement alot.'

'I guess that makes sense.'

During my conversation with Morgan I didn't realize I was walking through a small park.

"Ummm...Excuse, me? Sir?" came a meak female voice.

I looked to where the voice was coming from to see a girl around 16, round purple eyes and long, black hair with a purple tint parted down the middle, with two strands of her bangs in the middle of her face, opposing each other, with faint blush on her face. She was wearing a white t-shirt, a pink skirt.

"Yes?" I replied.

"Ummm...Can you help me get my cat of the tree?" she asked pointing towards the tree in question.

Up in the tree was a small black cat, but right next to the tree was another girl around 16 as well. With white hair with and hazel eyes. At the front, her hair has two long bangs going past her shoulders and several loose bangs hanging over her forehead, while the back has a short bob cut. She was also wearing a black cat-shaped hair clip on both sides of her hair. She was wearing a long sleeve white shirt, and a grayish skirt.

"I guess I can." I answered.

The girl next to me began walking back to the tree with me right behind her.

When I got to the tree the other girl just looked at me, then back to the cat.

"Alright, just hold on a second." I told them.

I then began walking up the tree to get the stuck cat.

"Here kitty. Come on." I tried to coax the cat out of the tree.

The cat did in fact get off the tree and made itslef comfortable on the top of my head.

"Not what I wanted, but I'll take it." I commented.

Once back on the ground I handed the cat over to the black haired girl who took it with glee.

"Thank you..." sh said.

"Vladamire Cortez." I answered.

"I'm Tsumugiya Ururu and this is Toujou Koneko." Urure replied.

Koneko nodded her head in acknowledgement. "Thanks." she said in a small voice.

"Your both welcome, now I have to be going." I answered as I took off.

'Those two seem familiar.' I thought.

'Your right. But, isn't something important suppose to happen?' Morgan asked.

I began to think about that. What happened here in Loguetown. Then it hit me.

"Luffy's going to be executed!" I shouted as I ran towards the town center.


I hope you all enjoyed the chapter and agian I'm sorry for the mistake. I have fixed it.

I will be updating at least once a week just to let you all know.

Alright, now don't forget to review.

P.S. The two girls at the end of the chapter will play a bigger part so don't be asking question about them yet, ok?
