As always Please Review


The Merry sailed towards its next destination with the crew's usual enthusiasm for the unknown...well Luffy's enthusiasm anyway. Unfortunately when the ship arrived the island was a vast open plain with tall trees and no sign of any form of civilisation. Dispiete that Luffy was still eager to explore and once the Merry was close enough to the shore he jumped off the ship.

Chopper followed him and Connor and Robin came out of the kitchen to see Luffys usual eagerness to explore a new island, they walked over to join the others.

"Alright exploring time," Luffy cried.

"Hey Luffy, don't wander off," Usopp cried "you don't know what's out there,"

Luffy stopped and looked back at Usopp and gave a big smile.

"Usopp if you wanted to come, why didn't you just say so?" Luffy asked.

"What...no I don't want to come," Usopp shot back "who knows what's out there,"

"I know, isn't it exiting?" Luffy responded.

"Luffy lets go let's go," Chopper said enthusiastically and while jumping up and down.

"You know we can't let them wander off on his own," Zoro said.

"I agree, if someone doesn't go with them who knows what trouble he'll get us into," Nami added.

"Though the Island dose look relatively safe...it is an open plain after all," Sanji mused.

"True...Usopp go keep an eye on Luffy," Nami ordered.

"HUH!" Usopp responded "WHY ME!?"

"Because you already want to explore," Zoro said.

"No I don't...I don't want to leave the ship," Usopp claimed.

"Hmm...that doesn't sound like a brave warrior of the sea to me," Nami said.

"Well...My...My stomach hurts," Usopp suddenly said "yeah i can't go,"

"Is that your I can't go to a knew island sickness again?" Zoro asked annoyed.

"Yeah...it's really bad this time," Usopp claimed.

"Don't worry we have a cure for that now," Nami said, smiling sweetly.

"You...do?" Usopp asked.

"Yep. All you have to do is turn around, take a deep calming breath and look at the horizon," Nami instructed "Give it a try,"

Usopp did as he was told and the moment he turned around Zoro, Sanji and Nami kicked Usopp off the ship and he landed in front of Luffy and Chopper.

"There your all better," Zoro said "Now keep Luffy out of trouble,"

"THAT'S NOT FAIR!" Usopp yelled.

Luffy laughed at Usopps expense and he then noticed Connor was on deck with the others watching.

"Hey Connor do you want to come?" Luffy asked "It'll be fun,"

"Umm...okay," Connor responded and he jumped of the ship to join the others and they all headed off to explore the Island.

"Those boys...you know one day Luffy's recklessness is going to get him into a fight that even he can't win," Nami said.

"Yeah well better he gets it out of his system now so he's serious when we need him to be," Sanji said.

"I think it's a good thing, after Alabasters civil war, the fighting god in the sky and landing in that Marine base...we need a nice peaceful island every now and then," Zoro said.

"Zoro is right, we've been very busy lately. Let the boys be childish for a bit, it will do them some good," Robin advised.

"I suppose," Nami sighed "I'm still worried though,"

"Besides how much trouble can they possibly get into on a deserted island like this one?" Robin asked.

Luffy, Usopp, Connor and Chopper were exploring the island; they had very quickly discovered the islands very long and tall animal life. They had also found that the trees were very tall as well, all the flowers and fruit and anything growing on them were stretched as well. Luffy used his powers to pick something off a tree and looked at it.

"What's this?" Luffy asked holding out a long red stretched fruit.

"Don't know, looks like a chilli of some kind," Usopp said.

"It doesn't smell like one," Chopper claimed, giving the fruit a sniff.

"Oh well bottoms up," Luffy said and took a bite.

"DON'T EAT RANDOM PLANTS!" Chopper and Usopp yelled.

"Mmmm...hey this tastes like and apple," Luffy said happily.

"Really?" Connor asked.

"Yeah, it's nice and juicy too," Luffy claimed as he took another bite.

Luffy continued to much on his apple while investigating the other trees, he found a long Kiwi fruit, a bunch of very very stretched bananas and some rectangular watermelon. Luffy ate all of the fruit but he managed to convince Chopper and Connor to try some of the watermelon. Usopp however refused to eat any of the strange fruit; instead he put on his goggles and looked around

"Hey Luffy...there's a house over there," Usopp said.

"Really?" Luffy asked.

"Yeah...but who would be living out here?" Usopp wondered.

"Let's go see, maybe they have some long meat," Luffy said.

"I don't think that's a thing," Usopp said.

"Why not? after all the animals here are all stretched out," Connor pointed out "if their bodies are like that then there meat must be too,"

As they approached the house they were stopped by a deer like animal with large antlers, it walked in front of them and like everything else on the island it was stretched out.

"Hey Chopper, is that a relative of yours?" Luffy joked.

"I'M A REINDEER!" Chopper yelled insulted "AND THAT'S A MOOSE!"

Once the moose had moved on the group approached the house, only it turned out to be more of a small round hut. Unlike the other trees and animals that they had seen on the Island so far the small house was normal human sized and not stretched out at all.

"Huh…weird, it's not long or stretched," Usopp observed.

"Maybe a human lives here," Chopper suggested.

"I don't know, humans living on this island would be 100 feet tall at least and be really thin," Usopp lied.

"Really?" Chopper and Luffy asked excitedly.

"Why do you say that?" Connor asked.

"Well look at the trees, fruits and animals," Usopp pointed out "they all grow super tall or long and stretched. It makes sense that the humans who live here would be the same,"

"I doubt that is the case," Connor stated "besides this hut is too small for a 100 foot tall human,"

"I want to meet the tall human," Luffy declared and he walked up to the door of the hut.

"Hey 100 foot tall human I'm coming in," Luffy declared and opened the door.

"LUFFY WAIT!" Usopp yelled "THEY MIGHT BE DANGOURS!"

Luffy however ignored him and walked into the hut, it was a small one room hut that had all the necessities needed to survive, but no one was home.

"Huh…no one's here," Luffy said disappointingly.

"That's good….let's leave before they come back," Usopp said fearfully poking his head in and looking around wildly.

"Huh why?" Luffy asked

"I…I…It could be the boss of the islands house, we don't want to be caught here," Usopp claimed.

"LUFFY USOPP COME OUT HERE QUICK!" Choppers voice cried "THERE'S A WHITE GIRAFFE!"

Luffy and Usopp came running out and saw that Chopper and Connor were looking up at a very large and stretched animal that did resemble a giraffe, although it was pure white and had no spots. It also had a saddle and reaingens on it.

"WHOA….SO COOL!" Luffy said in awe.

He then walked up to it.

"Luffy…wait…it might be a carnivore," Usopp said fearfully.

"Hey you white Giraffe, join my crew," Luffy demanded.

"LUFFYYYYYY!" Usopp yelled.

The giraffe just looked down at the rubber captain and made a sad neighing sound.

"Huh….oh…whoops, sorry about the confusion," Chopper said.

"What did he say?" Usopp asked.

"She said she's not a Giraffe but a horse," Chopper translated.

"Wait…this is horse?" Connor asked confused.

Chopper nodded and the horse made another neighing sound.

"Yep, her name is Shelly," Chopper claimed.

"Oh…well hey Shelly, join my crew," Luffy repeated.

"Luffy if this is a horse then it's already owned," Usopp said and pointed to the saddle in the horse back "see it has a saddle so it must have a rider,"

Shelly made some more sad neighing sounds.

"According to Shelly she does have an owner, but she doesn't know where he is," Chopper said.

"Why not?" Connor asked.

"He went missing 10yrs ago," Chopper claimed "on minute he was here the next gone. Shelly's been waiting for him to come back,"

"That's some loyalty," Usopp admired "but is it possible that Shelly's rider is dead,"

Shelly made some more neighing sounds only more determined than before. Luffy Usopp and Connor looked at Chopper for a translation.

"Shelly says that she believes her owner is still alive and will wait for him to come back, she said he was chasing his dream when he disappeared," Chopper translated.

"Huh…I wonder what that was," Usopp said thoughtfully.

"Maybe it was to find the other end of that long dog we saw," Luffy said.

"That's stupid," Usopp claimed.

While Luffy and Usopp were debating on what Shelly's owner dreamt of Connor noticed two very long Bamboo Shoots a short distance away. He blinked at them a few times.

'We're they there before?' Connor thought, he didn't remember seeing them earlier.

Connor looked up at Luffy and Usopp who were debating over various ideas on what Shelly's rider's dream was.

"I'm going over there to look at something," Connor said pointing at the Bamboo.

"Yeah yeah sure," Usopp said not paying attention.

Connor walked over to the two stalks of Bamboo; once he got there he looked around but did not see any other Bamboo in the area. He walked over to them and looked upwards, like the other trees they were tall but unlike the other trees he could not see the top.

"Weird….there's no other plants like them around and I am sure they weren't here before. What are they?" Connor wondered having never seen Bamboo before "I wonder how far they go up?"

Connor looked back at the stalk in at his eye level and poked one off the stalks, surprisingly the shoot moved back slightly.

"Wait…did that just move?" Connor asked.

He poked it again and the two shoots moved back again. Connor stared at them in confusion.

The shoots moved again only this time they moved towards Connor at an incredible speed. Connor jumped out of the way as one of the shoots went past him, it stopped and then turned back around and headed back towards him. Connors face panicked and he started to run.

"LUFFY….HELP IT'S CHASING ME!" Connor cried as he ran back to the captain.

Luffy, Usopp, Chopper and Shelly looked over towards him and saw the bamboo moving on its own and that it was indeed chasing him.

"GAHHHHH BAMBOOO MONSTER!" Usopp screamed and ran with Connor.

Chopper also freaked out and joined them. Luffy just laughed and chased after the Bamboo monster.

"Hey Bamboo monster, join my crew," Luffy called out after it.

"STOP ASKING EVEYONE THAT!" Chopper, Usopp and Connor cried back.

Despite Luffys' offer the Bamboo monster did not stop chasing them nor did it pay attention to him at all. Eventuly Luffy had enough of being ignored by the Living Bamboo.

"HEY PAY ATTEION TO ME!" Luffy shouted and kicked one of the stalks snapping it.

The others stopped running and watched as Luffy broke one of the shoots, this seemed to make the monster plant stop all together.

"He broke it," Connor said happily.

"Well it is only Bamboo after all, it's not like it's that hard to break," Chopper said.

"Bamboo….what's that?' Connor asked.

"A hollow plant that grows really fast, animals eat it and use it as a water source," Usopp answered.

"Wait…Bamboo is hollow?" Connor asked.

"Yeah it's actually pretty fragile and breaks easily," Usopp said.

Connor looked over at the plant and then back at Usopp.

"Then why were we running?" Connor asked annoyed "I could have just sliced it with my sword"

"I've never seen Bamboo before, how would I know what it is?" Connor asked.

"Oh…really?" Usopp asked.

"Yes really," Connor claimed.

Before they could continue a loud thud was herd and as something had crashed into the ground. Luffy, Usopp, Chopper and Connor all came over and saw and old man on the ground.

The man was elderly, with wrinkles and a round white beard. He had small round eyes, a round nose, and is missing one tooth. He has a purple-brown hat, with brown fur lining, and brown cloth on the sides. He wore a yellow tunic, with green lining with a circle design on the end of the sleeves, and side of the chest. He had a purple sash, purple shoes, and vertical zigzag striped purple tanned pants.

"Hey look guys, I broke the Bamboo and a sprit came out," Luffy said excitedly.

"Wait…sprits live in Bamboo?" Connor asked.

"Yeah they bring peace and good fortune," Luffy claimed.

"That's just old superstation," Usopp claimed.

Suddenly the old man shot up and stared at the pirates.

"Hello, who are you?" the man asked.

The old man's Name was Tonjit and after a brief introduction and explanation as to who Luffy and his friends were Tonjit explained why he was up on the top of the Bamboo. They were stilts, he had been trying to break the world record for the highest stilts and used Bamboo to do it...unfortunately the they had grown and while he was able to break the record he got stuck on them with no way down.

Tonjit had been stuck up on the stilts for 20yrs and had survived by eating the fruit off the trees, he also apologised to Connor for scaring him but he was really just trying to get some help getting down. Unfortunately because Luffy broke the stilts there would be no proof that Tonjit actually broke the record.

Tonjit invited the crew into his home and explained the island. The Island itself is an island chain of ten different mountain shaped islands that are connected to each other and what he and the crew were on was in fact a mountain plateau. Tonjit also told the crew that he was part of a nomadic tribe that lived on the Island and travelled from plateau to plateau when the ocean receded enough to reveal a path; this happened once a year.

Unfortunately they moved on when while he was on the stilts. Usopp offered to take him to the next one to meet up with his tribe.

Tonjit claimed that would not work as the plateaus still share the same magnetic signature as they are all part of the same island so it would near impossible to navigate to the next plateau. The only way to get there was to wait until the sea recedes and walk and that happened once a year or wait another ten years for his tribe to come back around.

Luffy and the others felt bad for him but Tonjit claimed he was fine with it and he would just wait for his tribe to return. Tonjits one regret that he did not have his faithful companion Shelly, upon hearing the name the Chopper claimed that the horse was still nearby and Tonjit eagerly followed the pirates behind the house where Shelly was.

They were happy reunited and during Tonjits first ride in 20yrs Shelly was shot. Chopper instantly ran to Tonjit and Shelly and began treating the horse; thankfully the old man had not been hurt in the fall.

Luffy Connor and Usopp looked behind them to where he shot had come from to see three figures standing there...and one of them was holding a gun.

The man holding the gun was a stout man with skinny arms and legs. He has almost a cleft lip-like mouth; his hair split into two spikes pointing upwards. He has thick, triangles-like eyebrows, and is almost always seen grinning. He wore yellow-orange pants, held up by suspenders, with large, rotund buckles on the edges, tucked inside black boots, which are white on the front part of the legs and have orange strings and a short wooden sword in his pants.

The man was flanked by a girl and a very strange looking Gorlia like man, they stood behind him.

The girl was a slender young woman with dark blue hair, blue eyes, and a long pointed nose. She wore a pink jumpsuit with extremely puffed pant-legs, which is unzipped on the top to reveal a bikini top beneath it. Her outfit is adorned by several large, white puff-balls, the most notable one being the one hanging from her hat. She had a strange mask on her face.

The gorilla-like human was large, he wasn't wearing much, he wore long-sleeved gloves with matching navy blue pants and a leopard patterned scarf around his neck. He had also had the same mask that the girl wore on his face.

"Well well well...we finally meet. Monkey D. Luffy," the man with the gun said wickedly.

"Hey who are you? Why did you shoot Shelly?" Luffy asked angrily.

"My Name is Foxy, I'm the Captain of the Foxy Pirates," Foxy introduced.

"This is Porche," Foxy said gesturing to the girl "And Hamburg," Foxy said gesturing to the Gorilla like man.

"What do you want?" Luffy demanded.

"Simple...I want to play a game with you," Foxy grinned.

"A...Game?" Luffy asked confused yet slightly interested.


The Going Merry

Back at the Merry the rest of the Straw hats were leaving the ship, now that the Merry had been secured on the island the rest of the crew were heading out to explore...and check on Luffy, it was never a good idea to leave him alone for too long. As they were about to leave a second ship much larger ship docked right behind the Merry and used two massive paw like anchors to attach itself to the island and block the Merry in.

The crew of the new ship all appeared on deck and looked down at the straw hats, while they were all wearing different styles of clothing they all had the same thin black mask across their eyes and what looked to be some kind of black ears on an headband on their heads.

"Well that's just plain rude," Robin said "we can't leave now,"

"Hey what's the big idea, there's plenty of room to dock," Nami yelled "Don't block us in,"

"Oh we're not blocking you in, we're making sure you can't escape," one of the opposing crew claimed.

"Escape...if you lot wanted to fight why didn't you just say so," Zoro smirked.

"Fight...nah we want to play a Davy Back game with you," another responded.

"Davy Back Game?" Nami asked confused.

"Oh dear..." Robin said worriedly.

"What? What's a Davy Back game?" Nami asked.

"It's a competition between pirates crews, two pirate groups compete in competitive games. Each game has one crew win and one crew lose, the most games that can be played is three," the pirate explained.

"So it's a best out of three competition then...that doesn't sound so bad," Nami said "I assume there is a prize,"

"Oh there is a prize alright, the captain of the winning crew who wins each game gets to take one member of the opposing pirate crew and add it to their own," the man smirked "that person must then swear immediate fealty to their new captain,"

Nami's face paled.

"But that means..." Nami said.

"Yep, the crew are the prize," the man smirked.

"We would never agree to play something like that," Nami declared.

"Actually we may not have a choice," Robin said.

Nami and the rest of the crew looked at her.

"Davy Back Fight or Games as they are sometimes referred too only occur if two Captains agree," Robin explained "In this case if there captain challenges ours and Luffy accepts we will have to play,"

"But what if we refuse?" Zoro asked.

"If Luffy refuses the game then it won't happen, I would assume that these pirates will just move on," Robin said.

"And if Luffy accepts and we don't agree to play?" Sanji asked.

"If that happens then you will not only bring shame and embarrassment to your captain by not respecting him and standing by him but you lot will also become known throughout the pirate world as cowards and your captain will never be taken seriously," one of the pirates answered.

"That's fine, we don't take Luffy that seriously anyway...in fact no one dose," Nami said "When is this fight supposed to start?"

"It begins when both captains shoot a single shot pistol in the air at the same time. Once that is done the Davy Back Fight begins," one of the pirates claimed.

"Fine then you lot can play I won't, I don't care if it brings us shame," Nami said.

"Forget that," Zoro said.

"Excuse me? You would rather risk losing one of our own then putting up with some rumours and how people think of us?" Nami asked.

"Davy Back Fights are a matter of pride; if you're not willing to risk it all and put everything on the line then you're not fit to be pirates,"

"I would rather die than have be known as a coward throughout the world," Zoro said "Plus if we disgrace ourselves then nobody will take us seriously as the Pirate Kings crew...hell they may not even acknowledge Luffy as the pirate King when he finds One Piece"

"I can't let the ladies of the world think I'm a coward," Sanji said "I would never be able to live that down,"

"We can't live you down now," Zoro said.

"What was that?" Sanji asked dangerously.

"Nothing, Hey you lot," Zoro called to the other pirates "if our captain dose agree to the Davy Back Fight, can you take Pervo-Cook here form us? He's annoying and a very bad influence on the kid,"

"I AM NOT!" Sanji yelled

"Kid?" the other pirates asked.

"Yeah we got a young and very impressionable kid on board; Pervo-Cook here is a bad influence; so do us a favour and take him first. I don't want the Kid growing up to be a pervert," Zoro explained.

"He'll grow up to be lazy like you if he's not careful," Sanji shot back.

"Bette lazy then pulled up for sexual harassment and assault," Zoro muttered.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

"YOU HERD ME!"

"THAT'S IT YOUR DEAD!"

This started yet another fight between the two, the other pirate crew watched in confusion as to why Zoro and Sanji were fighting each other and how it had escalated so quickly.

"Between these two, Luffy, Usopp and Chopper I doubt Connor will grow up at all," Nami sighed.

Nami went over and broke up the fight by bashing both Zoro and Sanji over the head, it was so hard that it left several bumps on their heads; Robin chuckled at her ship mates antics.

"If it's true and they really do have a kid on board I hope they don't grow up to be like her...she's scary," one of the pirates said. The rest of the crew nodded in agreement.

"Now then, I have to go find Luffy and tell him what's at stake before he goes a head and agrees to this sick game," Nami said angrily.

However just as she turned around two gun shots were heard in the distance, they were so closely fired tighter that it was almost simultaneously.

"Well, looks like its game on," one of the pirates smirked.
