A.n I own Nothing

Please Review


Connor blinked a few times and stared at the crew.

"Umm...I'm sorry could you say that again," Connor asked "I just thought you said you didn't know me,"

"Kid, we don't know you," Sanji said.

Sanji turned to Usopp and Luffy ignoring Connor's shocked expressions.

"Hey is this kid with either of you?" he asked the other two pirates.

"Nope, never seen him before in my life," Usopp said.

"He's not with me," Luffy claimed

"What...no that's not right...you do know me..." Connor tried, he was beginning to panic.

Sanji bent down and patted him on the head.

"Hey don't worry we'll take care of you for the time being," Sanji assured.

"Maybe we can find someone to take him in or something," Usopp suggested.

"That's not a bad idea...but we should figure out where we are first," Sanji agreed.

"Wait you don't even know where you are?" Connor asked.

The three shook their heads.

"You're on a ship and these are the men's sleeping quarters," Connor supplied.

"A ship...really?" Luffy asked excitedly "I want to go see...how do I get on deck?"

"Up that ladder," Connor answered and gestured to the ladder behind him.

"Awesome, I'm going to go look," Luffy said and bolted up the ladder before anyone could stop him.

"How can he be so happy about not knowing where we are or how we got here?" Usopp asked as he watched Luffy go.

"Don't know but his excitement aside he has the right idea...we really should go and see where we are," Sanji stated.

"Ummm...is that wise...i mean what if whoever owns this ship might get mad if we wander around," Usopp said fearfully.

"Well we will have to meet who ever that is eventually," Sanji shrugged and he climbed up the ladder.

Usopp not wanting to be left alone followed.

Connor sighed, he had no clue what had gotten into the crew, but he got the feeling he should not leave them alone. Connor then remembered the way Chopper was acting and wondered if what had happened to Luffy and the others had happened to the doctor.

"I should tell Robin and Nami...they will know what to do," Connor said and he climbed back up onto the deck.

On deck Luffy was looking exited over the Island that the ship was anchored nearby, they were just off a shallow beach as the ship could not get any closer due to a sand bar.

"Wow...an island...I wonder what's on it," Luffy said "let's explore,"

"Hold on...what if there is a monster or something on that island?" Usopp asked.

"A monster...Really?" Luffy asked "Now I really want to go,"

While Usopp was trying to convince Luffy of the dangerous that lurked on the unknown Island Sanji looked around the ship. He was expecting some crew but the deck was deserted, there was no sign of anyone apart from himself, Usopp and Luffy on deck.

"Huh...that's odd," Sanji said "No one's here,"

Connor came out of the men's quarters and Sanji looked at him, before the cook could ask the boy where the crew were the cabin door opened and Robin stood in the doorway with Nami behind her. Nami looked very nervous and was looking around taking in every detail she could.

"Oh good your all up, something's happened to Miss Navigator," Robin said.

Luffy, Usopp and Sanji turned their attention to her and looked at both Robin and Nami blankly.

"Huh...who's that?" Luffy asked.

"Ah...Beautiful ladies," Sanji swooned with hearts in his eyes "Now I know how a moth drawn to a flame feels,"

Sanji went over to them and handed both Robin and Nami a flower each.

"Let's spend some time getting to know each other over dinner," Sanji offered.

Nami looked repulsed and appalled by the offer while Robin maintained a neutral expression.

Connor ran over to Robin.

"Robin...something's going one with them, they're acting weirder than normal," Connor cried.

He then noticed Nami behind Robin and saw how nervous she looked but was also giving Connor a suspicious look.

"Oh no, don't tell me it's affecting the boys too?" Robin asked.

"You can affect me all you like," Sanji swooned.

Robin looked down at Connor.

"Miss Navigator appears to have lost her memory and it looks like so have the boys," Robin said looking over at Luffy, Usopp and Sanji.

"What...Luffy, Sanji, Usopp lost their memories?" Connor asked.

Luffy, Sanji and Usopp all suddenly stared at him.

"How do you know our names?" Luffy asked.

"You told me it," Connor claimed.

"No we didn't, we never mentioned them once" Sanji said threateningly.

Before anyone could do anything Luffy noticed Chopper failing to hide behind a barrel.

"OHHH WHAT'S THAT!" Luffy asked and pointed at Chopper.

"Some kind of Raccoon," Usopp guessed as he looked at the doctor.

"I'M A REINDEER!" Chopper yelled back.

"IT SPOKE!" Luffy and Usopp yelled.

Chopper realised his mistake and started to panic.

"Reindeer huh...you have to slice it thinly and boil it up with lots of vegetables and gravy to make a nice venison stew," Sanji said "Or you can marinate it in sauce and pan fry it on an open flame for steak,"

"YEAH STEAK...I WANT STEAK!" Luffy declared.

"Noooo don't eat me," Chopper cried and set off running around the ship with Luffy chasing him.

Robin watched the chaos with Connor; both were unsure what had gotten into the other members of the crew. Connor was more concerned as to why Zoro had yet to make an appearance since he was supposed to be on watch last night and therefore would be up in the crow's nest.

Connor turned back to Robin.

"Robin what's going on...are they going to remain like this forever?" Connor asked worriedly.

"I don't know but panicking is not going to help," Robin said "now take a deep breath and try and stay calm,"

Connor did as he was told and took a deep breath.

Robin then stood up and addressed the aminsairic crew as Luffy chased Chopper around the ship and Sanji made various comments on how to cook the doctor.

"Everyone please listen, I'm sure you would all like to know what's going on and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have...but first you must all know where you are," Robin started "You're on the Grand Line,"

The chaos stopped and everyone turned to look at Robin; Chopper took refuge in the trees.

"We're where?" Usopp asked.

"We're in the Grand Line," Robin repeated.

"Really?" Luffy asked and looked over the horizon exited.

"WAIT THE GRAND LINE...THE SHIPS GRAVEYARD?!" Usopp panicked "THE SEA FILLED WITH SEA MONSTER AND OTHER UNIMAGINABLE HORRORS!"

"If your referring to the Sea Kings than yes...though there not that big of a threat," Connor claimed.

"But aren't Sea Kings the most dangerous and worst kind of sea monsters?" Sanji asked.

"Yeah but we fish one up and eat it like twice a week," Connor said casually.

"WAIT...YOU DO WHAT!" Usopp screamed.

"Really do they taste good?" Luffy asked.

"They are very delicious and highly nutriaus," Robin claimed.

"Interesting...how do you prepare them?" Sanji asked "do you grill them or pan fry them...or bake them?"

"I'm not sure, you're the one who usually prepares them," Connor claimed.

"But I've never cooked sea monster before," Sanji said.

"THAT'S A GOOD THING!" Usopp cried.

"I think there might be some notes in the kitchen," Connor said.

"I'll have to have a look...you don't happen to have any Sea King meat that I could experiment on do you?" Sanji asked hopefully.

"We ate the last of our stock 2 days ago and haven't fished up any since," Robin supplied.

"CAN WE PLEASE FOCUS ON THE FACT THAT THIS KID SAID HE KILLS SEA KINGS AND EATS THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS!"

Connor looked up at Usopp.

"I'm not the one who kills them or fishes them up," Connor claimed "Luffy is the one who dose that,"

"WHAT!" Usopp screamed and looked over at the rubber captain.

"Although I have killed one or two on the odd occasion I've been pulled into the sea," Connor added.

"WHAT!" Usopp screamed again.

"Hey if this is the Grand Line, is this Raftal? Are we on the Island where Gold Rodger hid One Piece?" Luffy asked eagerly.

"Um...I don't think so," Connor answered.

"No we're nowhere near Raftal, we not even at the half way point yet," Robin assured.

"Oh that is a relief," Luffy said.

"Why is that a relief?" Connor asked, he thought Luffy wanted to get to Raftal to become the Pirate King.

"I want to get to Raftal but I don't want to miss one second of my adventure," Luffy said "it'd be no fun if I just woke up here or someone handed me One Piece,"

"You want to find One Piece?" Sanji asked interested.

"Yeah, it's my dream," Luffy said happily.

"Dream huh..." Sanji said and looked over the horizon thoughtfully.

"Hold on...you just expect us to believe that we're in the Grand Line?" Nami yelled "How did we get here?"

"Yeah and can we go back home," Usopp added.

"You can't, it would be unsafe and impossible to go back now. We're too far into the Grand Line for that," Robin answered.

"As for how we got here…see that on your wrist," Robin said and pointed at Namis wrist.

Nami looked down and held up the Log pose.

"Huh…what's this?" She asked.

"That's the Log Pose; it's a special compass that locks onto an Islands unique magnetic field. Due to the nature of the Grand Line a regular compass doesn't work," Robin explained.

"What…but that's impossible," Nami responded.

"That's very interesting and all but why are we out in the Grand Line at all?" Sanji asked.

"Because of that," Robin said and pointed up at the mast.

The crew looked up and saw the Straw Hats Prate Flag fluttering in the wind. Nami's eyes widened in terror.

"Hey is that a Pirate Flag?" Sanji asked.

"It is," Robin confirmed.

"Hey does this mean this is a pirate ship?" Luffy asked.

"That's right,"

"Wow...first I wake up in a strange place, with strange people on the Grand Line and I'm on a Pirate ship...this is the best day ever," Luffy declared.

"Waking up with people you don't know and not knowing where you are is not something you should be happy about," Connor muttered.

"But I don't recognise that mark and what are we doing on a pirate ship in the first place?" Sanji asked.

"Oh that's easy, you're all part of the Usopp Pirates," Usopp declared before anyone could stop him "And I'm your captain...the Great Captain Usopp!"

"But captain, that flag has a straw hat on it," Sanji pointed out.

Usopp looked up at the flag and then he noticed Luffy was wearing a straw hat just like it.

"Oh well...this is mine," Usopp lied and swiped Luffy's hat off his head and put it on "because I'm the captain,"

Without warning Luffy suddenly grabbed Usopp by his shirt and took his hat back, he had a look of pure anger and rage on his face and his calm and carefree demeanour was gone.

"TOUCH MY HAT AGAIN AND I WILL KICK YOUR ASS!" Luffy yelled angrily.

"What the hell, don't you have amisna?" Usopp asked.

"I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT! THIS IS MY HAT AND I WILL NEVER FORGET IT, DON'T TOUCH IT!" Luffy screamed angrily.

"Okay...got it," Usopp gulped fearfully.

"Good," Luffy said and dropped Usopp on deck.

The sniper quickly backed away from Luffy in fear.

"Luffy's outburst aside, Usopp is right. Your all here because your all members of this pirate crew," Connor claimed.

"Hold on, I can't be part of a pirate crew," Nami suddenly yelled "I hate pirates,"

"Oh right, Nami hates pirates...I had forgotten about that," Connor remembered.

"Nami hates pirates?" Robin asked. This was the first time she had heard about this.

"Yeah a pirate named Arlong took over her village and killed anyone who couldn't pay him tribute. He killed Nami's adoptive mum, it led her to hate pirates as a result," Connor supplied.

Nami started at the boy in shock.

'How...how does he know that,' Nami panicked.

"Arlong...I think I remember reading about him in the newspaper...was he a Fishman?" Robin asked.

"That's him," Connor said "he's not the nicest person,"

"HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ARLONG! DO YOU WORK FOR HIM!" Nami accused.

"No but you like pirates now...at least you like us anyway," Connor tired "after all you did agree to join,"

"I would never do something like that, the only things i like is money and oranges. Not pirates, not Fishmen and most defiantly not you,"

Connor stared at Nami and looked down in sadness, it hurt that Nami had forgotten about him and didn't like him anymore. The Nami he knew would never say those things to him or anyone on the crew.

"You mean those trees?" Robin asked and pointed to the trees where Chopper was hiding.

Nami looked up and saw the orange trees.

'What...what are those doing here?" Nami gasped.

Robin crated an arm and picked one of the furits and tossed it to Nami, this freaked Chopper out and he ran away from the trees. Usopp, Luffy and Sanji also started at Robin in shock. Nami caught the orange and looked at it, it was the as the ones that her mother grew on her home island.

"I don't know what those trees are doing on the ship, but you keep the ships log and there is a picture of your family next to the bed in the cabin," Robin supplied.

Nami looked up and glared at Robin before running back into the cabin behind her and slamming the door.

"She's scary," Chopper commented.

Unfortunately this drew Luffy's attention back to the doctor and he instantly and began to chase him again. This time Luffy caught Chopper and demanded Sanji turn him into steak. Chopper quickly shifted to his human form to defend himself but Luffy jumped out of the way and he hit Usopp instead.

"What...the...hell..." Sanji stuttered as he looked at Choppers new form.

"Please don't cook him, Chopper is our ships doctor," Robin claimed "he is the best at what he does and his skills are unmatched by anyone,"

Chopper stared at robin for a moment and instantly shifted back to his hybrid form and did his happy dance.

"Shut up, your praise won't make me happy," he claimed.

"He looks happy," Luffy and Sanji observed.

"Hold on...how did he do that...what kind of monster is he?" Usopp asked.

"Chopper isn't a monster; he just ate the Hito-Hito Fruit. It gave him human like abilities," Robin explained "and I ate the Hanna-Hanna fruit,"

"Hey you ate a devil fruit too…I ate the Gomu-Gomu Fruit," Luffy said and pulled his face out to demonstrate his powers.

"T…T…Three Fruit users…." Usopp panicked "can this day get any worse?"

"But…but what about me?" Chopper asked "I'm a monster…am I a pirate too?"

"Of course," Robin said "we've all travelled here following the Log Pose,"

"Um miss if we're pirates…what about this kid?" Sanji asked.

"I'm part of the crew too," Connor said proudly.

"Seriously, what idiot takes a kid on a pirate ship," Sanji sighed.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Connor demanded.

"Well…kids are a hassle to have on ships and a pirate ship is certainly no place for a child like you," Sanji claimed.

"Be that as it may Connor really is part of the crew," Robin confirmed "don't let his age fool you, Connor has hidden talents that make him a very valuable member of this crew,"

"See," Connor claimed.

"So Luffy, Usopp, the two gorges women, this kid and the emergency food supply and including myself that makes….seven people on this ship right?" Sanji counted.

"Actually there is one more person we've been traveling with," Robin said.

"Who?" Luffy asked.

Suddenly Zoro jumped down from the crow's nest and glared at the others, he like the other members in of the Straw Hats had no recognition in his eyes.

"Oi you lot are too noisy, you woke me up," Zoro grunted.

"Him," Connor claimed.

"GAHH! WHO ARE YOU!" Usopp demanded.

"If you want someone's name you should give yours first," Zoro responded.

"Hi ya, I'm Luffy," Luffy quickly said with a smile.

Zoro turned to look at him.

"I'm Ronnoa Zoro," Zoro introduced.

"Wait…as in the Pirate Hunter?" Sanji asked.

'Pirate hunter?' Connor wondered.

"I never called myself that, other people did," Zoro claimed.

"But you hunt pirates for their bounty right?" Sanji asked.

"Well yeah, but I only did that to get by," Zoro claimed "I needed cash for food,"

"So what are you doing on a pirate ship then…wait did you come to hunt us down?" Usopp asked "well I'll have you know that I have 8,000 followers,"

"Oh really… you must have a huge bounty on your head then, looks like I will be eating well tonight," Zoro said greedily and placed his hands on his sword.

"Wait…you don't want to do that….help me out here," Usopp said and looked at Robin for help.

"Don't waste your time, he doesn't have a single beli on his head," Robin commented.

"I don't?!" Usopp shouted disappointed.

Suddenly an engine sound was herd and before anybody could react Nami burst out of the Cabin riding the Waver. She ran over Usopp and off the ship onto the water before heading straight for the Island.

"No come back beautiful woman," Sanji cried out.

"Oh dear, it looks like Miss Navigator has run off," Robin sighed.

"What was that thing she was riding?" Usopp asked.

"Well nothing to be gained from here," Zoro muttered under his breath.

He walked over to the railing and jumped overboard, a splash was herd; Connor looked out and saw that Zoro was heading towards the Island too.

"She's not the only one," Connor said sadly and he watched Zoro swim towards the shore.

"Huh…why is everyone leaving?" Luffy asked.

Connor looked up at Robin with worry and concern.

"What do we do now?" Connor asked.

"I don't know," Robin said "this is a very troubling situation,"
