And this chapter is done. It was originally written where they would meet their four crewmate but we decided to save that for another chapter. Until that chapter please read and review.

"Chris~! I'm so~ hungry! Feed me meat~!" whined Fletcher as he laid down on the floor. It had been several days since the trio defeated Brad and his minions. "Chris. Meat. Feed. Me."

Christopher took in a deep breath in an attempt not to throw Fletcher overboard. "We don't have any food left, so stop asking and demanding you spoiled son of a-" Chris stopped himself and took in another deep breath.

"WE DON'T HAVE ANYMORE FOOD!? WHO ATE IT ALL!? WHEN I FIND YOU I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS!" shouted Fletcher looking at the confused duo.

"You ate it all..." said Yokai still pondering how stupid Fletcher is.

"I did?" asked Fletcher with a confused look. Fletcher held his chin while he closed his eyes. Christopher and Yokai stared at Fletcher in disbelief.

"He's actually thinking... Even if it's for something stupid, it's still astonishing he can even think." thought Christopher still staring Fletcher.

Fletcher opened his eyes and sighed before falling onto the deck. "My head hurts. I'm going to sleep."

"Your head hurts! It wasn't even 10 seconds!" shouted Christopher, but his complaints fell to deaf ears as a loud snore resonated from Fletcher. "Just as I thought you weren't that stupid."

"Hey Christopher." called Yokai looking at the sea. Christopher looked up at Yokai. "Yeah."

Yokai pointed toward the sea. "Is it just me, or is that a person running on water?" Chris looked out in the direction where Yokai was pointing and saw nothing, even as he squinted.

"Nope, I don't see any... thing..." replied Christopher letting the last word drag out of his mouth. A giant fish, probably a sea king was coming their way and just in front of it, a small figure of a person was running away from it. "Holy crap. There really is a person running on water."

Upon closer inspection, the person was male. He wore a blue open vest revealing well built abs. He had black messy hair and sapphire blue eyes. He also wore blue cargo pants with sandals.

"And why is a giant sea king chasing him?" Just as Yokai said those words, Fletcher shot up with a smile. "MEAT!"

Just as the sea king and person we close to the boat; Fletcher launched himself toward the sea king before Christopher grabbed one of his legs, stopping him. "NO! You are not going to be carried away again!"

Fletcher pouted and struggled to release himself from Christopher's grip, who surprisingly never let go, even after being hit multiple times. Yokai, who was panicking a little, crashed his staff in front of him. "Ancient Art of the Elementals: Dragon Breath!"

Yokai blew gently at the top of staff as a giant stream of fire engulfed the sea king. The sea king fell dead from the fiery attack. The person who was still running looked behind him and saw the sea king burnt floating in the water. He then looked at the boat before jumping on.

"Meat!" shouted Fletcher jumping toward the sea king, but was still restricted by Christopher. "I'll get it." Christopher shot out his tongue and grabbed the sea king and pulled it toward the boat. The person who was breathing hard stared at Christopher in surprise. "That's a weird ability."

Fletcher jumped on top of the sea king as it was brought next to the boat and started eating it as it was already cooked by the flames. Christopher sighed while shaking his head.

"Thanks a bunch guys!" The man said cheerfully. "I seriously thought that I was going to be sea king chow. Say you don't mind if I have a piece of that sea king do you?"

Fletcher hugged what was left of the sea king in a protective manner. "I take that as a no then."

The man looked toward Yokai and reached out his hand. "Name's Ken. Kenmaru Otsuri. And yours?"

Yokai gave the hand a brief look before grasping it. "I'm Yokai. The one who is eating like crazy is the captain, Fletcher G. Perkman. The one with the long tongue is the cook, Christopher. And we're a pirate crew!"

"Oh so you're pirates!" Ken nodded. "Well I bet you guys have been out at sea for a while, so do you guys want to come to my home island?"

"Does your island have food!?" asked Fletcher throwing the huge skeletal remains of the sea king into the ocean.

Ken nodded. Fletcher also nodded. "Okay! Let's go to Food Island!"

"I don't think the name of the island is food island." said Christopher sweat dropping. "Anyways, first I would like to know how you were running on water?"

"Oh, that..." Ken replied, looking at his feet. "Well I'm a devil fruit user. I ate the Mizu-Mizu no mi. I wasn't really running, I was surfing on the waves I created, just to see how far I could get. Then the sea king appeared and it chased me for... What, 8 hours? I'm just surprised I didn't collapse dead right here!"

"You were chased for 8 hours!" shouted Fletcher staring at Ken in surprise. "You must be super tough! Do you want to join my crew!?"

Ken looked at him before smiling apologetically. "Sorry, I can't do that. I already belong to another group."

Fletcher frowned. Christopher then decided to change the subject. "You said you were willing to guide us to your island? Do you know how to get there?"

Ken looked at him and smiled proudly while pointing to himself. "Of course I do! Navigation is my main game! I can guide you guys there without any problems! Now show me the wheel people!"

As Fletcher eagerly showed Ken the steering wheel, Yokai shook his head. "This is way to good to be true. I think it's a trap."

Christopher sighed and looked at Yokai. "Either way, I don't think Fletcher would let us refuse. If anything, I think Fletcher might have him in our crew in a day."

Yokai smirked. "Well, I don't think it'll matter much, even if it's trap."

While Ken had supposedly been running from the Sea King for 8 hours, it was only a few minutes before land was sighted on the horizon. Christopher looked at Ken suspiciously. The water man scratched the back of his neck sheepishly, saying "I was running in circles the whole time. Pretty stupid of me, huh?"

Christopher looked away, focusing on the island instead . . .

"What's your island called again?" Yokai asked casually. Ken grinned at him.

"Dusk! Dusk Island, my wonderful home full of wonderful people."

Yokai raised an eyebrow at his enthusiasm.

"Dusk Island? Cool! Luffy's from Dawn Island, he's my rival, but I won't let him win since I'm going to be the Pirate King!" Fletcher yelled, throwing his fists to the sky.

"That's quite an ambition." Ken said with a raised eyebrow. Fletcher poked out his tongue.

"I am so." the captain pouted.

They docked at the island soon after. A young woman raced towards them , shouting at the top of her lungs "Kenny! Kenny, Kenny, Kenny!"

Someone was excited. She came to a screeching halt (complete with sound effects) in front of the boat. Panting, she called "Kenny! Are these the new-"

Ken jumped down and slapped a hand over her mouth. He smiled sheepishly up at the boys, saying "Sorry about my sister. She gets a little excited sometimes."

Christopher raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. Fletcher, on the other hand, didn't seem to notice anything strange about the situation as he looked around curiously for food. Yokai was holding tight to the back of his shirt . . . just in case. You never know what could happen.

"Oi, Yokai you stay here and guard the ship!" shouted Christopher following Ken into a forest, still holding Fletcher by the back of his shirt.

"Wait what! I want to come!" Yokai jumped ship and was about to run toward them before his blood ran cold. Christopher glared at Yokai. "I mean I want to... stay. Yeah I meant to say stay! You know it's kind of difficult, I mean the words sound so familiar, you know!"

Christopher turned his head and proceeded to walk toward the forest once again. Yokai sighed a breath of relief and leaned on the ship. "Stupid Christopher and his stupid power and his stupid sword and his stupid glare..."

Several minutes past and Yokai was still mumbling negative things about Christopher. "And his stupid... uh... um... and his stupid um... eyes... and his stupid hands and his stupid feet- and-"

"Uh, hello?"

Yokai started out of his daze, seeing the girl from earlier still standing there. She was . . . pretty~
