Chapter 1

DISCLAIMER!: I do not own One piece.

Luffy Grabbed his hat and holding it on his head he looked back his eyes sparkling in childish excitement as he sat on the front of the Thousand sunny, he looked at Nami the navigator of his crew and a question darted out before he could think:
"Hey Nami~! When will we get to the next Island - I'm hungry"Nami sighed and looking at the sky and then the log pose she contemplated how the weather could change, but for now it seemed fine. She brushed a strand of orange hair behind her ear before looking up at her captain.

"Not long now Luffy." Nami yelled to be heard before there was a loud yell of 'Stupid Moss head!' and 'Curly brow' as a fight broke out between the swordsman and the cook Nami sighed shaking her head and sighing as she sat back in her recliner. Robin laughed next to her a book griped firmly between her long fingers as she looked up and smiled at Nami. Nami smiled back and putting her sunglasses back on she shut her eyes to relax in the warm sun.

"C'mon Chopper!" Ussop whisper yelled as the two got up to no good around the boat soon coaxing a bored captain to join in on their antics. All was calm on the Thousand Sunny, there was no sign of bad weather or any Marines, but why did Nami feel a sinking feeling in her gut as if docking at the island was going to make them lose something important...

As the island got closer Nami noticed that a chill had set in the air, it was not cold per say but the breeze was soft and would leave goosebumps in its wake, it was as if someone was dragging along their cold fingers against your skin tracing patterns. Nami shivered but ignored the feeling knowing full well that if she voiced her concerns Luffy would kick up a fuss. She just hoped her feeling was wrong.

As soon as they were docked Nami began giving out orders for who was to go with whom, and groups were as such: Zoro and Sanji would get food, Franky would stay on the ship and touch up on anything he could as per usual, Nami, Chopper, Ussop and Robin would go for any other necessities and Luffy had all ready run of at the prospect of adventure. Nami sighed as the groups left the Thousand Sunny. She really wasn't looking forward to this. Maybe she could at least make a profit somewhere?

"Ah. I'm lost. Shishishishi" Luffy laughed enjoying his experiences or mere brushes of his adventure to come. So far he had run from an angry cat lady shouting how he would bring ruin to their peaceful town. Luffy frowned at the memory, even if running from crazy cat ladies wasn't something he did often and he found the thought amusing, he didn't appreciate the wild and hungry look in the old ladies eyes - she looked like a starved beast. Luffy shrugged no longer dwelling on the not so long ago past as he tried (and failed) to whistle on his merry way through the streets of Somnia Comedenti. He wondered around the unfamiliar place until out of a dark ally way a cloaked figure ran out and crashed into him, a chorus of angry buzzing voices following her from the darkness. Luffy grunted and tried to untangle himself from the mysterious person, only to have more trouble as she panicked her cloak's hood slipping to reveal stark white downy hair that framed a pale face and big green doe eyes filled to the brim with wave after crashing wave of fear. She gasped and with her free hand puled her hood to cover her hair and face completely her mouth forming a tight line. Finally Luff managed to free himself and the cloaked figure ran off to the left, just as a group of the villagers carrying blunt weapons emerged from the ally way.

"KILL THE WITCH!" the angry chorus of voices roared into a crescendo their voices like an angry wave crashing against Luffy as he looked off into the direction they were now starting to chase her: the docks. Luffy grunted and got up, his straw hat shading his eyes as he clenched both his fists in anger, what right did these people have to treat another human being like this. Luffy sprinted after them catching up with little effort. He sprung up and over the angry mob and landed between them and the girl who had neared the edge of the dock. Luffy's hat covered his eyes and his usually upturned mouth was pulled into a grimace and anger radiated off of him.

"I won't let you kill her."
