This chapter was written by 4fireking and King Spike Rules. Do you want to know something funny? This was the chapter we worked on first before the first chapter. It might explain why the first chapter is a POV and the second chapter is not. It's just I thought Christopher was an interesting character and I thought he needed to be heard. I ate a lot of cheese last night and didn't go to bed until 2 a.m. Anyways, now that I know DaStrawHatReject is following this story I might finish it. Please read and review.

Christopher stood there on his raft as he looked at the fellow young man in front of him on a small boat as they looked at each other for a few minutes as Chris thought over the question he was just asked by this stanger. The stranger told him his name was Fletcher. After a few minutes of watching and thinking it over, he let out a long sigh as he answered.

"No, I don't want to join your crew." Chris said as he watched the other boy look at him for a few minutes until he simply smiles and began to row away from him.

"Alright, see you later." Fletcher said as he sailed away from Christopher, who watched him leave and began to realized he was going to be alone again.

"It's better this way." Chris said to himself as he watched to other boy row away from him and closed his eyes as he didn't want ot see him leave him alone once again. Fletcher was happily sailing away and was wondering on who he could get to join his crew when suddenly something hit the boat and he turned in time to see Christopher fly towards his with his large tongue that was attached to the back part of it. As Christopher got closer, he reached out and grabbed the boat as he lifted himself back up onto the boat.

"So, you do want to join?" Fletcher asked as he looked at Chris, who pulled his tongue back into his mouth.

"Yeah, I'll join." Chris said as he looked up and gave Flether a deadpan look on his face, not wanting to show how happy he was for not do be alone any more.

After a few hours of sailing, the duo had finally found an island and proceeded towards it.

"Man, I wonder what kind of food they have on that island?" Fletcher asked out loud as he looked at the incoming island with a watering mouth.

"Hey, how are you going to pay for any food?" Christopher asked as he took up the stearing of the sail for Fletcher was to busy eyeing the island like some kind of prey.

"Pay? What are you talking about?" Fletcher asked him as he turned ot look at his new crew mate with a confused look on his face. This confused and worried Christopher as he looked at his new captain, and wondered if he had made the right decision in joining Fletcher's crew. After a few more minutes of rowing, the duo had finally made it to the docks of the island and quickly tied the ship down as they proceeded into town. As the duo walked off of the docks and into the town, they notice that they was no one on this part of the island. As they were trying to figure out what was going on, a rock flow through the air and nailed Fletcher right in the forhead.

"Who did that?" Christopher yelled as he turned toward the direction the rock came from and was shocked to see a bunch of small children woth rocks and sticks stare at them with so much anger in their eyes.

"Leave now, your pirate scum." yelled the lead kid and throw another rock at them, which Christopher dodged and hit Fletcher in the head once again.

"Hey, what's the big idea?" Fletcher asked as he looked at Christopher, who looked at him confused.

"What do you mean?" Christopher asked as he didn't know why his captain was so mad about.

"How come you moved and let me get hit by that kid throwing rocks!" Fletcher yelled as he got right into Christopher's face, who did not like that one bit, but before the two could get in fight, another rock flow over and hit Fletched in the back of the head.

"I said get off of our island, you porate scum." the leader of the children as he and his group stood their ground for what might happen.

"You little bastards!" Fletcher yelled as he tried to charge towards them and attack the kids, but is held back by Christopher.

"Relax, let me talk to them." Christophar said as he walked in between Fletcher and the kids. After, he did this, he knelt down and asked, "Why you attacking us?"

"Your Pirates, and you reap what you sow." the lead kid said as he picked up another rocka dn was about to throw it at Christopher, who glared at the kid and then shot out his long tongue, which flow through the air and slammed into a wall behind the kids. All the kids freaked out and ran from the monster they thought was Christopher.

"Ha, that's what those little bastards deserve." Fletcher laughed as he turned around and headed down the dock with Christopher following, with neither of them noticing a figure watching from the shadows.

After searching for a few minutes, the duo found a small market and stalls that had people happily saling their goods. Fletcher was excited to see this, and so he charged down the market, eating every thing in sight on the stalls. He grabbed apples, oranges, meat, anything that was not nailed down as he swallowed whole fruits and ripped meat off of the bones as he walked down the street. The vender were horrified as they watched this young man do such things, but felt better as Christopher brought back what Fletcher had eaten and paid for the stuf he did. After righting those wrongs, he hurried down the street when he heard yelling and found Fletcher eating in a butcher's shop.

"I told you to stop that you little brat." he yelled as he lifted up a clever and was about to chop a part of Fletcher off when Christopher reached out and stopped the blade.

"Wait, I'll pay for the whole store's stock." Christopher said as he reached into his pocket and took out a lot of money. The butcher looked at it for a moments before he placed his clever down and took the money from Christopher. As he counted the money, Christopher walked over and sat next to Fletcher, who had a huge piece of meat in his mouth as he chewed up what was in it already. After a few minutes of watching, a question suddenly appeared in his head and Christopher felt he should at least as it.

"Hey, Fletcher." he called out and waited for him to turn his head before he continued, "What is you goal?" After asking this, Flether chowed a few more bites and then swallowed his food before answering.

"Oh, My goal is to beat my rival Monkey D. Luffy to One Piece." Fletcher said as he resumed eating. A few minutes after hearing that, Christopher closed his eyes and began to laugh uncontrollably as he began to talk.

"That's impossible, the marines most likely have it safely hidden away so no pirate could get. They also are four hundred times more powerful and a million times smarter then you. So we might want to think of a new plan." Chrsitopher finished as he opned his eyes and that was when he notice Fletcher was not in his seat. Shocked, he looked under the table and under the pile of bones next to the table.

"If your looking for your friend, he headed off into the woods for more food." the butcher said as Christopher looked at him with a shocked look on his face as he turned and ran out of the shop and into the woods that the man had pointed towards.

Christopher ran through the woods, looking around evey tree and large rock as he looked for Fletcher. After a few minutes of looking, he finally found Fletcher looking around for something and so, Christopher quickly ran up and stood next to him.

"Fletcher, why did you leave town?" Christopher asked as he panted for air as he looked at his captain.

"The place was out of meat, so I came out here to find more." Fletcher explained as he looked around for a few more minutes until he found a large building in the middle of the woods. Excited, Fletcher ran over to it as Christopher looked at it nervously as he followed Flecher. Once he got there, he saw Fletcher looking into the window of the building at large portions of meat hanging from hooks.

"What is this place doing so far out of town?" Christopher asked as he was unsure if they should really be there, but Fletcher paid him no mind.

"I want that meat.".Fletcher said as a long line of drool ran down his mouth and was puddling on the ground under him as he extended his hand towards Christopher.

"What?" Christophe asked as he looked at Fletcher confused.

"Give me some money so I can buy the meat." Fletcher explained what he wanted.

"No, this is my money and I'm not going to spend it only on meat." Christopher yelled as he looked angry at his captain.

"Why not? You paid for what I ate in town?" Fletcher said in anger.

"You already were eating them." Christopher said, which angered Fletcher even more as the wind began to blow around.

"BUT I WANT MEAT!" he screamed at the top of his lungs as he yelled out. Christopher just stood his ground and continued to refuse to pay for more food, when suddenly he turned around and began to look closely at the area.

"Some ones coming." Christopher said as he looked around and then suddenly several gold hooded men appeared from the trees.

"You Pirates scum are disobeying the towns orders." one of the men said as he and the others drow their katanas, and then he continued, "And so, we shall end your disobedience." And with that, they all attacked. Christopher readied for a battle as he took a deep breath and then said.

"Tongue Prong." Christopher yelled as he spat out his long tongue, which flow through the air and hit five men in one attack. After that, he pulled his tongue back into his mouth as he picked up one of the swords that were dropped and proceeded to clash swords with a few other men as he quickly check to see how Fletcher was doing, and was shocked to see Fletcher simply dodge katana attacks from the ones around him. As he was watching, Christopher notice even more men showing up and they were starting to gang up on Fletcher. Afraid of not being alone, Christopher shot his tongue out, knocking his opponent down and he took the sword, which he tosed at Fletcher. Fletcher caught the weapon and just stared at for a few minutes until he turned to Christopher and yelled.

"I have no idea of how to use a sword." Fletcher yelled as he turned to face Christopher, totally not seeing the two men behind him leaping into the air. Shocked, Christopher pushed his attacker away and then took aim at the men behind FLetcher.

"Toad Leap." Christopher yelled as he leaped across the area slashed at both men, wo fell to the ground. As Christopher landed, he turned and smacked Fletcher in the back of the head.

"Ow, what was that for?" Fletcher asked as he held his head.

"Even if you don't know how to use a sword, don't take your eyes off your enemies." Christopher yelled as the two stood side by side as even more men appeared.

"Alright, let's get this fight start..." Fletcher began but was cut off when he notice Christopher running past them all and was shocked as he looked around, and onc ehe saw all the men around him. He took off after his crewmate.

Christopher continued to run for a little while until he found a large tree, after a few minutes of waiting, Christopher looked out from his hide out and saw Fletcher running towards him. He waited a few seconds and then pulled Fletcher behind the large tree.

"Hey, what's the big idea of running away?" Fletcher asked as he glared at Christopher.

"We were out numbered, so we had to use a tactical retreat to get a better idea of what we're doing next." Christopher explained and watched as Fletcher opened his mouth to yell at him, but they both stopped when they heard a voice call out to them.

"Excuse me, but I think you two should follow me to my house." they turned to see an elderly lady standing a few feet from them in a long sun dress. The duo looked at each other and shrugged as they followed the old woman to her home.
