At the same time Ace and Sabo had sailed off on White beards ship, Luffy was face to face with a boy the same age as her, He had curly black hair, a white shirt, brown pants, and a long nose.

"My pirate crew is way way way better than yours!" the boy yelled. Nami and Zoro sat lazily behind Luffy, they yawned as she continued her argument that had gone on for the past hour. She glared, arms crossed.

"Well! My pirate crew's way way way way waayyy better than yours!" She yelled, stretching her arms out for emphasis.

Zoro yawned. It had been a few days since they defeated Buggy. They landed on this island and Luffy met a boy who claimed he was a great pirate. Unfortunately, Luffy begged to differ. The boy's name was Usopp. His "crew" was a group of children. They were no older than five. Luffy said they couldn't be pirates. Usopp said they could. And so, this argument started.

Usopp and Luffy growled at each other. Nami stood.

"You guys are such kids! Get over it!" She yelled. Luffy sighed.
"I guess. I'm sorry." She muttered. Usopp crossed his arms.

"Yeah, I guess I'm sorry too." He said. Then they smiled at each other.

"Friends?" Luffy stuck out her hand.

"Till the end!" Usopp smiled, shaking her hand.

"So simple." Zoro fell over. Usopp looked around.

"So Luffy, where do u live? I haven't seen you three in the village." He said. Luffy stared at him like he was stupid.

"What do you mean? We're not from here." Luffy said. Usopp's eyes widened.

"You're a real pirate!?" He yelled. Luffy smiled.

"Well of course I am!" she grinned.

"Wow! I'm not a real pirate yet. But I want to be!" Usopp sat on the ground, Luffy sat to.

"I like you! Join my crew!" Luffy smiled. Usopp smiled back. Then he frowned.

"I would, but my crew needs its captain. And I can't just leave Kaya..."

"Kaya?" Luffy asked.

"She's the richest person in the village." Usopp grinned.

Luffy smiled.

"She could get us a real ship!" Luffy turned to Zoro and Nami. Zoro grinned.

"We have been trying to get one." He stood.

"It'd be nice to have a room to sleep in!" Nami piped up. Luffy nodded. Then she turned to Usopp.

"Yo! Usopp! Take us to Kaya!" She smiled. Usopp looked around nervously.

"Just for a ship right?" He said. Luffy nodded. "Alright. Follow me!" he said. Luffy ran after him, Nami and Zoro following behind.

Luffy had to lead Zoro by the hand since his direction was totally off. Usopp looked at the two crew members.

"So you two just do whatever she says?" Usopp asked.

"Somewhat. She is that captain." Zoro said.

"She's basically the boss." Nami shrugged. Usopp looked at Luffy. Luffy smiled back.

"So she's stronger than you?" Usopp asked.

"Much stronger." Nami rolled her eyes.

"It's almost embarrassing." Zoro muttered, earning a laugh from Luffy.

"So what do you do?" Usopp asked Zoro.

"I'm her first mate. We met a long while back." Zoro yawned.

"And you?" He asked Nami.

"I just joined them a few days ago. I just bring Luffy where she want's to go." Nami shrugged as they walked up the path to the giant mansion. Luffy smiled.

"Zoro and me have been friends for years!" She said. Zoro smirked.

"And it's been hell ever since." He chuckled.

Usopp showed the group a secret way into the mansion yard. After talking with Kaya, Usopp gave them the thumbs up. Luffy cheered. A twelve year old Kaya looked out the window and waved, but was pulled back in by her butler. He glared at us.

"Next time I see you here I'm calling the guards! GET OUT!" He yelled, Usopp flinched at his voice and motioned for Luffy and her crew to follow him.

The sat outside Usopp's house.

"So what now?" Luffy asked. Usopp shrugged.

"I can't help you Luffy... I think I'll take a walk." he sighed, then he left. Luffy stood up. She reached in her bag and gave Nami and Zoro some money she had.

"Here! Go eat, I'll think I'll go with Usopp." She smiled. Zoro shrugged, taking the money.

"Don't do anything stupid." He said. The he and Nami walked off.

Luffy found Usopp in the woods, she sat on the cliff next to him. He was shaking.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Hide!" Usopp hissed, pulling Luffy down. Luffy flipped herself over and crawled next to him, he was watching two men on the beach. One was a weird man with purplish hair. The other was the butler from that sick girls house.

"What are they talking about?" Luffy asked. Usopp shushed her, Luffy leaned in some so she could hear. But her small hand couldn't fully grip the cliffs edge, she slipped and let out a high pitched scream as she hit the ground.

"Luffy!" Usopp hissed, crawling back some when the men looked up.

Luffy shook the sand from her long hair and looked up at the two men who were staring at her.

"She heard us..." The butler muttered. Luffy was confused.

"What do we do?" The other man asked.

"Take her with us for now." The butler said. The purple haired man grabbed Luffy by her vest collar.

"Let me go!" Luffy snapped. She kicked and yelled. Then, she pulled back and kicked the purple haired man between his legs. The man toppled over in pain. Luffy stuck out her tongue and turned to run. Then, when she ran under the mountain, the butler threw something at the mountain to make it collapse on top of her. She let out a shout as the rocks landed on her.

Usopp ran away from the cliff after Luffy was grabbed. If anyone could save her, it wasn't him. Maybe her crew! He had to find them! He had to tell the village! He had to tell Kaya! He ran through the village, trying to warn everyone, but they drove him out of the town. He tried to tell Kaya, but she wouldn't believe him. He told his crew to stay indoors. Luffy's crew... they weren't at his house. Where did they go!?

Zoro and Nami were looking for Luffy, if they couldn't get a boat, they might as well leave. They went to the beach and saw their captains straw hat next to a pile of rocks.

"Luffy!" Zoro ran over to the rocks. Nami ran after him. They started clearing the rocks and reveled the small girl who was asleep.

"IDIOT!" Nami yelled. Luffy woke up and screamed. Zoro and Nami jumped back.

"WHAT!? What happened?" Zoro yelled back.

"Those guys! I heard! They're gonna kill that girl! The village! OH MY GOD! COME ON!" She scrambled up, grabbing her hat and running off.

They met up with Usopp, who had a plan. Slick the hill that came to the village so they couldn't get up. It was perfect. After they finished, They waited.
