Hey there, this will be a long one and we have a ton of cool characters that are going to be introduced here. I hope you all enjoy this one and have fun. I am surprised on how much demand this fic gets it. I am really proud of what I created it.

On the streets of Water Seven.

Sanji, Juvia, Mirajane, Elfman and Lisanna were riding on their Yagara bull and looking around the streets of water Seven. Looking for food and what else to bring to the ship.

''Wow this is so romantic.'' Said Mirajane.

''Yes, me and a bunch of beaitufl ladies. What else a man can ask for it?' Asked Sanji.

''I am also here.'' Said Elfman.

''Oh come on Elfman, let Sanji be Sanji.'' Said Mira.

''Sorry big sis.'' Said him.

''Juvia can't wait to bring Gray-sama this water water cooking. I will make them to look like my beloved.' Said Juvia.

''You really like Gray Juvia-chan?" Asked Sanji.

''Yes, Juvia is destined to be together with her beloved.'' Said Juvia.

''How is that stupid pervert get a beautiful princess like you! It's so unfair.'' Said Sanji all sad.

''Sorry Sanji-kun, Juvia hearts its already taken.'' Said Juvia.

''Stupid stripper, I will get him for this.'' Said Sanji all pissed.

''So Sanji, what do you think of the city of water?'' Asked Lisanna.

''I think it's the most romantic place so far that I have been. I would like to bring any of you laides here.'' Said Sanji with a pervert expression.

''Oh my he is worse than Makarov or Guildarts.'' Said Elfman.

''Let's just be thankful that he is not trying to grab my ass.'' Said Mira

The group then went out of their bull and decided to walk back to their ship. However, Mira direction was leading them to no end.

''Another dead end.'' Said Sanji.

''Are we going in the right direction?" Asked Lisanna.

''Mira-chan are you sure that this the right path?" Asked Juvia.

''I have the map right here. I am pretty sure that I know what I am doing.'' Said Mira.

''Its upside down.'' Said Elfman to his sister.

''Opsie.'' Said Mirajane with a sweat drop.

''Big sister! Now we are lost.'' Said Elfman.

''Is ok, we can find our way back. We are not like a certain swordman that gets lost even when going to the bathroom.'' Said Sanji.

The group then went to the other direction, however something stopped Lisanna on her tracks.

''Hey!'' Said lisanna in shock.

''What is it Lisanna-chan?' Asked Sanji.

''Is that Robin?" Asked her.

The group then saw Nico Robin, just walking on the street of the city. For some reason alone, maybe she got lost from her group.

''Oh yes, Robin we are right here!'' Scream Mira.

''Robin-chan! We are here!" Scream Sanji.

The group kept shouting to the archeologist.

''Robin!'' Scream Elfman.

''We are right here.'' Said Juvia.

''Robin!'' Scream Lisanna.

''Let's go get her.'' Said Mirajane.

They followed Robin to where she was going and they got there in no time.

''Robin-chan, why are you…'' Said Sanji but then something weird happen.

They saw that the path lead them to a place with no exit or street. It was just a random end. All that was in front of them was just ocean.

''Wait a minute, what just happened?" Asked Elfman.

''i don't get it. She was right here, wasn't it?" Asked Mirajane.

''Yes, we all saw her and then…she was gone.'' Said Lisanna scared.

''This is really spooky.'' Said Juvia.

''We better go back to the ship. We need to inform the others about this.'' Said Sanji.

''Yes, it would be better.'' Said Lisanna.

They all got their stuff and were ready to get another bull to be in the direction of their ship. However, while walking they look up and saw Kaku flying, like everybody thye thought they saw Usopp.

''Usopp! Was that Usopp?!'' Asked Elfman.

''Was really him?" Asked Juvia in shock.

''No Juvia, I think.'' Said Mira.

''This town is getting weird.'' Said Sanji

The group decided to ignore that and just return to the ship.

At the rock docks.

Kaku soon arrived where the Straw Hats have told. He saw the ship from the spot he was on.

''Oh so that must be the ship.'' Said him.

The carpenter soon went to the ship and started to look over all the damage.

''Excuse me.'' Said Kaku arriving, lucky for him there was only Zoro in the main dock at the moment.

''Uh...'' Said Zoro still half asleep.

He then open his eye and saw that looked like Usopp.

''Oh its Usopp.'' Said Zoro and he gave some ´´ok´´ note.

''Oh thank you. Wow this is badly damaged.' Said Kaku.

Then Erza arrived and wanted to know what was going on. She heard a noise of someone arriving at the ship.

''Zoro, is someone here?" Asked Erza.

'Is just Usopp. Go back inside.'' Said Zoro

''Oh ok.'' Said Erza fine by that.

Back at the kitchen

Lily, Gray and Gajeel were having a few drinks with cake, it was going to take a while for everyone to return but it was ok.

''So what was it?" Asked Gray.

''Nothing, just Usopp.'' Said Erza.

''Ok, lets save some cake for him.'' Said Gray.

Gajell then felt a weird sensation and got up.

''What is wrong?" Asked Lily.

''you know that we Dragon Slayer can know a person is coming just by their usual smells.'' Said Gajeel.

''Yes, we know.'' Said Gray.

''Well Usopp usually smells like gunpowder, but I don't smell that.'' Said Gajeel.

While the mages group was getting suspicious, everything was going to bad start right now.

Zoro was finally opening his eyes again and noticed that this Usopp had a bigger nose than his regular one.

''The mast needs to be replaced too.'' Said Kaku.

''HOLD IT! Who the heck are you?" Asked Zoro

''Zoro, what is going on?'' Asked Erza arriving with others.

''This Usopp wanna be arrived here without our permission!' Scream Zoro

''Oh so another intruder?'' Asked Gray taking his shirt off.

''Another fight?'' Asked Lily big again.

''We are going to rub so hard on salamander face.'' Said Gajeel cracking his knuckles.

''Whoa take it easy. I am not here to fight. I am a carpenter.'' Said Kaku.

''uh?'' Asked Zoro.

''My name is Kaku, I was given permission by your captain to look over your ship. I will give a quick analysis and see what we can do to fix it.'' Said Kaku.

Erza and the others soon stop being worried and lower their weapons.

''Sorry for this, we just got attack so we are a bit on the defense.'' Said Lily.

''Its ok, I get that a lot.'' Said Kaku.

''How long is going to take for your analysis?' Asked Gray.

''About one or two hours. Since this is a small ship its going to be most lilkley one.'' Said Kaku.

''Sure, when you are done give the information straight to us.'' Said Gajeel.

''Would you like some cake?'' Asked Erza.

''I am sorry, but while working I need to be fully focus.'' Said kaku.

''Suit yourself.'' Said Gajeel.

Kaku started to look over the ship with every inch possible, he could tell that it was a miracle this one could still sail. He felt that this ship was on his last days.

''This ship…is not going far.'' Thought him.

At the Galley La

Luffy group were looking at the point where Kaku launched himself at. It was amazing that he could have done that without breaking a sweat.

''I can't believe he did that.'' Said Luffy.

''Yes, that was amazing.' Said Usopp.

''Not even Erza would do that without magic.'' Said Natsu.

''Aye, she doesn't have wings.'' Said Happy.

''Well, I can't let all of you to underestimate my workforce. In order to build a ship quickly and efficiently one can't just be the average body and mind. By the way Kalifa.'' Said the weird man.

''Yes, i´ve completed the background check.'' Said a woman with glasses.

''She looks like Evergreen.'' Thought Natsu.

''Straw- Hat Luff, Pirate hunter Zoro and Nico Robin. These three have a bounty of a total of 239 million Berries. The straw Hat gang got its start in the East Blue, and there were supposed to be only seven members, but word got around that 21 people enlisted in their crew.'' Said Kalifa.

''Uh we joined about a few days ago.'' Said Lucy.

''Ok, so I can add that to the background check. Thank you.'' Said Kalifa.

''We need your names just to know who is in the Straw Hat crew.'' Said the man.

''Lucy heartfelia.''

''Happy the talking cat.''

''And awesome fighter Natsu Dragnell. Put Fire Dragon Natsu, that is going to be my epitaph.'' Said Natsu with a smug.

''Idiot.'' Thought Lucy, Usopp and Nami.

''I will add your names.'' Said Kalifa.

''Why the huge background check?" Asked Usopp.

''Because I am the boss of this town. My name is Iceberg and this is my pet mouse Tyrannosaus. By the way Kalifa, I need some rodent food and cage.'' Said Iceberg.

''Of course sir.'' Said Kalifa.

The group was in shock over that. So this was Icerberg, the super carpenter?

''You´re Iceberg?' Asked Lucy.

''Yes.'' Said the man.

''Wow, we heard so many good things about you.'' Said Nami.

''I get that a lot.'' Said Iceberg.

''Oh I thought you would be a super buffed dude.'' Said Natsu.

''You don't need to be super buff to be good in carpentry.'' Said Icerberg.

''He looks just like I imagined.'' Said Happy.

''Really?" Asked Usopp.

''No.'' Said Happy with a dumb face.

''With me is my trustworthy secretary Kalifa.'' Said Iceberg.

''Hello.'' Said her.

''Wow his secretary follow him everywhere?' Asked Natsu

''Also, Mister Iceberg you have a lunch at the hotel in chiza with a glass factory executive. After that, you have an appearance at the Riguria square, and after that you´ll be meeting with mayor bimine of Pucci(Enrico Pucci maybe?). While you´re there, the newspaper will interview you. When you return to your office there are some documents that needs your attention.'' Said Kalifa giving the man full schedule of the day.

''I don't want to do it!'' Scream Iceberg.

''Then I´ll cancel everything.'' Said Kalifa not even carrying.

''What!'' Scream Lucy

''You are sure about that?" Asked Usopp

''I am powerful enough that I can do whatever I like.'' Said him with pride.

''Wow that's awesome.'' Said Natsu.

''But you´re a failure as a mayor.'' Said Usopp.

''Aye sir.'' Said Happy.

''He is pretty spoiled. But isn't he the guy that old lady was telling about?" Asked Luffy.

''It appears that he is the one.'' Said Nami.

''Hey, tell your talking cat to not eat my rat. I just got him.'' Said Icerberg.

''Hey! I don't eat rats, that's gross.'' Said Happy.

''Yes! He eats fish like any cat.'' Said Natsu.

''Whatever, I might get bored of him anyway.'' Said Iceberg.

''Man, not only he sucks as a mayor but a pet owner to.'' Said Usopp

''How dare you!' Scream Kalifa.

The secretary soon started to deliver a ton of kicks, they weren't super strong but that made the group step back. Only Usopp got hit in the face, while everyone else escape barely.

''What that heck are you doing?" Asked Luffy.

''That was scary!'' Scream Nami.

''My nose.'' Said Usopp

''You could have hit my face!"' Said Lucy.

''Do you want to fight lady?" Asked Natsu.

''Get her Natsu!" Scream Happy.

''Pardon me, I got carried away. Mister Iceberg is well loved around here. Even if his ways are questionable in the world of politics, Water Seven still works in perfect order. So don't provoke him'' Said Kalifa.

''she is nuts.'' Said Lucy.

''don't provoke Kalifa. When she gets upset, she doesn't aim well.'' Said Iceberg with a huge hit in his face.

''She really gave it to you good!'' Scream Luffy.

''You´re a really a weird secretary.'' Said Natsu.

''Oh my god. I am sorry mister Iceburg. I didn't mean do it, for that I am cancelling my vacation plans.'' Said Kalifa.

''Wow she is really in love with him.'' Thought Lucy.

''Anyway, let's get back to business. You are really mister Icerbeg correct?' Asked Nami.

''Oh yes.'' Said him.

'Well, we have a letter from that old lady that works in the train station.'' Said Lucy.

The girls deliver the letter that said ´´´Check their ship for them. XOXO Kokoro´´.

''Old lady Kokoro.'' Said Iceberg

The man soon started to shred the letter into pieces.

''Hey!'' Scream the group.

''Look, please can you fix our ship?" Asked Nami.

'We got the goods!'' Said Natsu showing the briefcase.

''The Merry Go took a lot of beating in all her travels. We are worried.

''Sure, we can take care of her.'' Said Iceberg.

''That was easy! Are you serious?! Why did you rip the letter?!'' Scream Usopp.

''The kiss mark was creepy. Old lady Kokoro and I have been drinking buddies for a long time.'' Said him

''Ok, that makes sense.'' Said Lucy with a sweat dropping.

''Well, in any case Kaku must be already in your ship. Once he is done with his inspection we can start talking about the materials and how much and how long is going to take for your ship to be fixed.'' Said Iceberg.

''Wow! Thank you sir.'' Said Luffy.

''You are going to stick around?" Asked Happy.

''Today is boring anyway. Come on, I am going to show my factory.'' Said Iceberg while picking his nose.

''That attitude form someone who just canceled all his appointment?" Asked Usopp with a sweat drop.

''This guy really is a terrible mayor.'' Said Lucy.

''Alright, lets go to the shipbuilding factory.'' Said Luffy all excited.

''I can't wait to see those guys in action.'' Said Natsu.

Before they could go Usopp remember something important.

''Hey where is the money?" Asked him

''Look bros, this must be a fortune.'' Said the member of the Franky Family. The same ones that got beat by the group on the boat.

Usopp then turn around and saw the group with his briefcase.

''Oh no, he saw us. Run!" Scream the guy franky family member.

''The money! They stole 200 million!'' Scream Usopp alerting the rest.

''What!' Scream the group.

''I am not letting those asshole steal our money. Let's go happy.' Scream Natsu.

''Aye sir.' Said Happy.

''Lucy call one of your spirits.'' Said Lucy.

''On it, come to me Virgo.'' Said Lucy holding the Virgo key.

Soon the celestial spirit appear.

''What do you wish princess?" Asked Virgo.

''Beat those guys and get our money back.'' Said Lucy

'Sure, after that will you punish me?" Asked Virgo

''No!'' Scream Lucy all red.

''Can you punish me?'' Asked Virgo to Iceberg.

''Not in the mood today.'' Said Iceberg picking his nose.

''Sir!" Scream Kalifa in shock.

''Can you punish me?" Asked Virgo to Luffy.

''Sure, as soon I figure out what this mean.'' Said Luffy.

''don't do this Luffy!" Scream Nami.

Soon Virgo, Natsu and Happy were on the pursue of the thiefs.

''Who are those guys?" Asked Nami.

''The franky Family. A bunch of thieves and bounty hunters. They cause havoc and trouble around this city.'' Said Iceberg.

''Well they are going to learn to never mess with the Straw Hats.'' Said Lucy.

Natsu was on the hot pursue of those thieves. The medicine that Chopper gave him was going to fade soon and he need it to be quick.

''Wait, I just need to introduce my fist to your face.'' Said Natsu.

''Mister Natsu.'' Said Virgo now on Natsu side.

''oh hey Virgo, you are here too?" Asked Natsu.

''My princess told me to be quick with those thieves. Don't worry I shall assit you.'' Said Virgo.

While the two were after the thieves, nearby a man named Paulie was being chased by loan sharks and debt collectors.

''Wait a minute Paulie!" Scream a loan shark.

''You are way past due! Pay us now!' Scream a debt collector.

''Come on guys, I am not in the mood today? Can I pay next week? Or the next one?" Asked Paulie

The man was a carpenter and a really good one. However he had a bad gambit addiction and kept getting money from these people and he never pay them back.

''I need to law down. Maybe at work and huh?" Asked Paulie.

Then he saw the Franky Family, even though Paulie made a lot of troubles he wasn't the level of those assholes.

''Alright, I get the guys and you get the brie face Happy.'' Said Natsu.

''Aye sir.'' Said Happy.

The group was ready to fight, but Paulie jumped from the bridged and went towards the Franky Family boat.

''Rope action!'' Said him activating some ropes that were on his suit..

The rope soon tied the Franky family members, in one second they were all defeated.

''You guys really making a trouble again.'' Said Paulie.

''PAULIE!" Scream the loan shark.

''So long suckers.'' Said the rope man.

The group that was going to take the briefcases back were amazed over what just happen. In a few seconds that man just defeated a group of bounty hunters.

''What was that?' Asked Virgo.

''Natsu, do you think he is a friend or a enemy?" Asked Happy.

''I don't know.'' Said Natsu.

Soon they went towards where this Paulie man was and he was just relaxing on the boat of the Franky Family, since he kicked them out.

''Wow man that was awesome.'' Said Natsu

''Aye sir! You kicked their asses.'' Said Happy.

''Oh thanks pink haired dude and blue cat.'' Said Paulie

On the Galley La dock

''I better call Virgo off.'' Said Virgo sending Virgo back to the spirit world.

''Who is that?" Asked Luffy

''that's one of our best carpenters, Paulie. However, he has a gambling addicting and gets him in a ton of trouble.'' Said Iceberg.

''Wow this paulie is awesome.'' Said Luffy.

''Hey! Can you give our briefcases back!'' Scream Nami from a distance.

''What?!"' Asked Paulie

''Oh yes, we have our money in these briefcase.'' Said Natsu.

''How much?' Asked Paulie.

''200 million berries.'' Said Natsu all simple like it didn't matter.

Upon hearing that he was in shock.

''200 million berries!'' Said Paulie.

Soon he got the bull ready to get him out that situation.

''Bye suckers!'' Said Paulie sailing away.

The crew was in just suck over what just happened. The guy who saved their money just sailed off.

''Hey!'' Scream Nami.

''What is going on?" Asked Lucy.

''that's a classic Paulie move. He hates thieves and Bounty hunters, but he is always in debt so I think he is collecting his ´´part´´ of the good deed.'' Said Icerbg.

''This is such a jerk move! Can't you just fire him?" Asked Nami.

''No, I don't and I won't.'' Said Iceberg.

''But do something!'' Scream Usopp.

''Yes, otherwise that money is not going to you!'' Scream Nami.

Upon hearing that Iceberg decided to do something.

''Man, I hate doing this stuff. Hey everybody!'' Scream Iceberg.

''Yes mister Iceberg.'' Said the workers.

''Call Lucci, we have a paulie situation again.'' Said Iceberg.

Paulie thought he was finally going to get off debt for a few months and get some goods for himself. However, a shadowy figure appear in front of his both.

''what?!'' Asked Paulie in shock.

''Stop right there Paulie.'' Said a pitch voice

Yes, we are ending with the introduction of you know who. Finally, we are doing this. We are getting so close to Ennis Lobb. Yes, I know there is almost 30 chapters on the way but patience everybody. I am so excited I get the leopard bastard into the story.

I like to write chapters like this, the crew and the addition reacting and doing stuff. Is always a pleasure to do.

I am so happy that you are all liking this story so much. We have a long way to go from here, so let's keep doing this.
