"Luffy-kun! " I awaken to the melodious sound of Uta's voice. As I open my eyes, I see her staring back at me with her beautiful shining purple eyes.

"Uta! Did you enjoy last night?"

"Yes Luffy, it was amazing. The best night of my life."

"Anyway Uta, I think it's time that I introduce you to the rest of my crew. They should all be on the ship! Stay inside the room for a minute, as I'm sure a couple of them will be pretty shocked that you are joining our crew. Sanji especially, he is a bit of a hopeless romantic that fawns over every beautiful woman he sees."

Uta nods, "Okay Luffy!"

I turn and walk out of the room, the sun was already up. I pull my hat down slightly to ward off the sun. Everyone is scattered around the deck. Nami is lounging around, while Sanji is waiting on her like a butler. Zoro and Shimo were napping while leaning against the starboard side of the ship. Lastly Kaya, Usopp, Johnnie and Yosaku we're fishing off the portside of the ship.

"Morning everyone! I have an announcement to make!" Everyone turns to look at me. "We have a new crewmate! Now I don't want anyone making a big deal about who she is, am I clear. "

"She!!!" Sanji yells, his eyes turning into hearts."

"I said don't make a big deal, Sanji and don't scare her off. You can come out now, "I called Uta onto the deck.

After a few moments Uta steps out onto the deck. Everything goes dead silent, as everyone stares back at Uta. No one says a word but the tension is so thick that you can cut it with a knife. I look at my crew and everyone is staring at her in shock. It's finally Sanji who breaks the silence.

"Wow!" He says his eyes had turned to hearts and were popping out of his skull. He immediately rushes up and grabs her right hand, as he gets on one knee and kisses it. "It must be fate that brought you to me!"

I was about to hit him, but Kaya beat me to it. She must have hit him pretty hard because he was knocked unconscious "Sorry about him Uta-chan! Can I call you Uta-chan? Is that okay? I don't want to offend you by calling you that! You are not offended by me calling you that are you?"

Kaya keeps rambling on with tons of questions. It was blatantly obvious that she was a fan of Uta's music. Uta puts her hand onto Kaya's shoulder," it's ok! Luffy I take it that was Sanji correct?

She glances over at me as I nod, and she continues talking. "Then thank you for getting him off my back. Judging by your reaction to me, I take it that you are one of my fans. "

"Yes!!! I love your music! I'm… I'm Kaya!"

"Well then Kaya I am glad to meet you and even more glad to have such a wonderful fan."

Next to talk is Zoro, "Uta huh? I've heard your music. They say that despite being from the East Blue, your music is known around the world. You got fame almost instantly overnight, when you released your first song, New Genesis . Since then your music has been heard across the world through radios, and visual Den Den Mushi.

"Are you a fan too, swordsman-san?"

"The name is Zoro and I wouldn't say I'm a fan, but I can't deny that your music is really good."

"Lies", Shimo says snickering."You have been listening to her music while training for years. " Zoro gives Shimo a death glare. She just kisses him to shut him up, before turning to Uta the name Shimotsuki, but you can call me Shimo for short.

Nami is the next to speak," so Luffy! Please tell me how you got a world famous pop star to join our crew?"

" Because I knew her growing up, she lived in my home village of Fusha Village. She was my first real friend. But since she is the daughter of Red-hair Shanks, so when he left Village so did she, and I hadn't seen her since until now."

"Is this true Uta?" Nami asks, turning to the red and white haired girl.

"Yes, all of it is! But I Love Luffy more than I love my career as a Popstar. He assured me his intentions are pure so I have agreed to join your crew."

"I see, I see! Usopp says as if confirming her words to himself. " Well then welcome to the crew Uta, I'm captain Usopp! "

Nami smacks Ussop in the back of the head. "Welcome aboard Uta, I'm Nami!"

I look at Johnnie and Yosaku passed on the deck, while filming at the mouth. "Nami douse them with water!"

Nami turns and stares at the unconscious bounty hunting Duo before firing a water gun at them. The two jerk awake yelling" ,oh my God we're drowning!"

Once they come to their senses, they look towards Nami who had just blasted them in the face and say in unison. "Why the hell did you have to go to that big sis Nami?"

"Because you too idiots fainted when you saw our new crewmate!"

"New crewmate, where?" Johnnie and Yosaku ask as they look around. Their gaze eventually settles on Uta, and they faint once again upon seeing her.

" Ahh just leave them, they'll wake up eventually. Now with everything ready, Nami plot a course for your home. It's time to fulfill my promise and take down Arlong. Zoro! Shimo! Unfill the sales Usopp! Kaya! Help Nami by steering the ship. Sanji head to the kitchen and start making breakfast!"

"Right away captain!" They all say as they take their respective positions.

Uta looks at me with a wanting look." And what would you like me to do?"

"Nothing for now Uta, but I'm sure we'll find something for you to do!"

I quickly decide to check the stats of my crew members, to see if they had improved any.

Wow, Sanji had gone up two levels from his fight with Gin. And I probably shouldn't tell him that I know he's a Vinsmoke yet.

Zoro had gone up by about three levels and his strength reflected it still nowhere near the level of a Hawkeye but stronger nonetheless. Also I find it funny that Zorro secretly listened to Uta's music , and the system basically confirmed that.

Shimo was stronger and that was also good. I would have to remind myself to ask how she came to be Zoro's girl.

Species: Pokegirl (Eva: normal)

Health: healthy

Kay had gone up four levels, and her stats had gotten some pretty impressive boosts, also she must really love Uta. Given that she was an Eva, the Pokegirl equivalent of an Eevee, she had a lot of options when it came to evolving. Of course I wasn't going to force her to evolve into anything she didn't want to, so I will let her choose what she wanted if you wanted to use any evolution stones we came across.

Finally I come to usop's stats, which I realize I had not actually checked initially.

As I figured he was a dexterity fighter, with an unusually high intelligence stat. Not surprising though as usually came up with weird and clever ways to defeat enemies. His Charisma was pretty impressive too as well.

Overall my crew was pretty strong but they would need to be stronger. Ultimately I figure I would put them through some training. I contemplate how to start however my thinking is short-lived when our ship is attacked by a large Marine battleship. As it moves closer to our ship, it fires cannonballs at us. Everyone manages to use their powers to deflect the cannonballs.

It pulls up alongside of us, and I see a big burly man with short red hair and bright pink eyes. He is shirtless and wearing a marine jacket with long blue pants. He is standing on the bow of his ship yelling at us. Behind him is a ship filled with Marines both human and pokegirl " Surrender pirate scum! Surrender, in the name of Marine lieutenant Valentine!

" Sorry Valentine, I don't think I want to," I say , giving him the middle finger.

" I see you want to do this the hard way. He jumps onto the deck of Going Merry. "I see that you want to do this the hard way!"

"Get off my ship you fool." All of my crewmates drop into battle stances ready to fight. "Don't worry I've got this."

"You think I'm some pushover. I will have you know my mother was a very powerful fire type, and as such I have some very powerful blood gifts."

I was lvl 26 now meaning this guy was a lot weaker than me. "Gomu Gomu no: Pistol!"

I launch a fist at him hitting him straight in the jaw. "Hey, that was a cheap shot, I wasn't ready!"

"I'm sorry, but since when do Pirates fight fair? Tell you what I'm feeling generous, let's have a duel to defeat me in combat and me and my crew will come willingly. But if I win then you will leave and tell your superiors to fear the name Monkey D. Luffy!"

"Deal! Prepare to be defeated, pirate scum!" He says as his fists light on fire.

He comes in repeatedly punching at me, but I simply dodge with little effort. "I take that you can let your fist on fire because of the blood gifts from your mother!"

"Yes, now hold still so I can punch you, you stupid pirate!"

Blood gifts were an interesting thing. Since pokegirls were able to give birth to human children, blood gifts are remnants of their power passed on to their children. Some blood gifts might be something as simple as just being resistant to cold if their mother was an ice type. But other times they were able to use some pokegirl abilities. There were also blood curses, negative effects such as weakness to the same elements of their mother.

I jump back and stretch my fist out once again, punching him in the face." If that is your best then you don't have what it takes to defeat me. Now I have had enough of you, Gomu Gomu no: Bazooka."

I sent him flying straight into the Mast of his ship. As he hits it he falls unconscious, and I simply yell to his crew. Do what I said and leave, and tell your superiors that Monkey D. Luffy is going to become the next King of the Pirates."

Seeing their commanding officer defeated so easily, they all simply nod and start sailing off. After they are finally gone, I decide to turn and ask Zoro and Shimo.

"You want to know our story?" Shimo asks, staring at me with a puzzled look.

I nod as she looks to her master," go ahead and tell him I don't care. You could do that, I'm going to take a nap."

Shimo nods, "Well it all started about 2 years ago. I had just gotten a new tamer, one who wasn't, master Zoro. His name was Kagesuki. He hadn't even given me a name yet because I was his first pokegirl. We were in the middle of brainstorming names for me when we were attacked by a feral Peekabu, my tamer didn't stand a chance. It attacked us from behind and he got hit by a rather nasty electrical strike. I used my powers to make a dome of rock around us, Giving me a chance to check his wounds."

She takes a deep breath and continues," they were fatal. I started to cry over his body, just as I heard my rock dome start to break. I suddenly felt a hand on my back, it was my tamer. He is telling me to go, to live even though he knows he doesn't have much time. But I couldn't just leave him, so I made a decision. I turned to fight the Electric Pokemon, and that's when he showed up.

The Dome looked like it was about to break. "Santoryu: Onigiri!" I heard a voice outside of the dome followed by a screech of pain from the peekabu. It is followed a moment later by the same voice saying," you can come out now. The feralis dead."

I slowly pulled down my rock dome to notice a handsome man, with green hair and dark colored eyes. As I looked up at him he was sheathing his three blades. "Thank you for saving me sir" I said

"No problem ma'am," he replied. " Is your tamer okay?"

I checked my tamer's pulse only confirming my worst fears. "No, unfortunately he is dead."

"He looked at me with a serious look. "Come along then, Shimotsuki Village is not too far from here. I know a place where we can bury him. I'm Roronoa Zoro by the way!"

I grabbed Kagetsuki and followed Master Zoro, he eventually led me to a small graveyard. It probably had no more than about 30 headstones. When we got there master Zoro knocked on a small wooden Shack on the left side of the graveyard. After a couple of moments a middle-aged man with a beard appeared in front of the door. "Ahh Zoro, here to pay your respects to Kuina?" He asked as Zoro stepped aside

"Yes, but I also brought these two with me. The pokegirl just lost her master to a peekabu attack." He told the grave keeper.

"Ahh!" A man turned to me and said, "I'm very sorry for your loss. Pick anywhere you would like to bury him."

I nodded and looked around before eventually settling on an empty spot under a tree about 30 meters or so from my location. I asked the grave keeper if that spot was good and said it was fine. He whistled and a rare sight came from behind the shack, a Francinestein. He looked at her and said, "Terra!

He told her to take me over to the large tree which I had asked to bury Kagetsuki under. She nodded before grabbing a shovel from the side of the track and motioning for me to follow her. Upon reaching the spot under the tree I asked how long it would take to dig the hole. Terra looked at me and said "30 minutes. Go pick a casket. "

Since I had only truly spent about an hour with Kagetsuki I hadn't gotten to know him, nor had he actually tamed me. Ultimately I decided to pick out a simple wooden one with not a lot of decoration. I asked him how much it would cost, and he said it was on the house. Thanked him and picked it up carrying it over to the grave site. I set it down next to the hole that had started forming, and gently placed Kagetsuki inside.

I told Terra that I would be back in a few minutes and was going to go check on master Zoro. Since the graveyard was rather small it wasn't to spot him kneeling by one of the gravestones. He was standing over a grave that read "Shimotsuki Kuina."

I asked who she was and if she was important to him. His response was "yes! She was my rival growing up and the only swordsman I could never beat. We made a promise to each other that one day one of us would be the world's greatest Swordsman. But she died the next day in a fatal accident, now it's up to me I have to go fill that dream not just for myself but for her as well."

"I'm sorry for your loss." I replied putting my hand on his shoulder. "This may seem selfish of me but can I come with you?"

He looked at me with a puzzled, yet slightly intrigued look. "Please I promise I won't cause trouble, I just need somewhere to go. I don't want to end up going feral. I'll find ways to help you like catching food and stuff."

He thought for a couple of minutes, and finally agreed. "Do you have a name then?"

"No, " I said as I shook my head. "I was feral born, my old Master never gave me one. we were trying to figure out what to name me when we got attacked."

Master Zoro listed off a few names but none of them truly seems to fit. He eventually asked if I wanted to be called Shimotsuki, I nodded. He then helped me hold a nice little funeral service for Kagetsuki and pretty much has been with him ever since. "

"I see that was a lovely story Shimo, I'm glad to have you and Zoro on the crew." I reply to her once her story is over.

"It's good to be here," she replies.

Nami's voice suddenly yells out, "Everyone prepare to make port! We will be at the Conomi Islands within the hour!"

As she says that I hear seagulls flying overhead. One lands right on the top of the figurehead of the Going Merry, makes a couple of squawks and then flies off. Nami said we had about an hour so I figured I would take some of that time to use observe on the Going Merry.

Straw Hat Pirate ship

Going Merry

This ship was built by Merry buttler to the noble family of syrup Village.

Firepower:1.5/10

Durability: 148/150

Ship class: caravel

The land comes into view causing me to look up from the screen with the Merry's stats. The site in the distance is a small port town. Nami turns to look at everyone." Welcome to my home, Cocoyashi Village!"

The island is rather warm, with palm trees growing all around. The buildings appear to be mostly made out of wood. Palm trees dot the landscape around the buildings. Looking around I see a few houses, what looks like an inn/tavern, a post office, a doctor's office, a bookstore and even a sheriff's office.

Nami leads us through the town, which has a few people and pokegirls walking through the streets. The pokegirls are mainly grass and water types, as well as what looked to be a few dog and cat girls. There is even a human and a cat girl making out in one of the back alleys.

Nami leads us to the northern border of the village, as we're about to walk out we are stopped by a rather rough sounding voice. "Nami, your back!"

Everyone immediately turns to look at the source of the voice. It's a dark-haired man with a thick mustache and stern expression. He is wearing a brown, short-sleeved policeman-esque uniform with sandals. He has a pinwheel in his uniform's cap and his body is covered in scars. There was only one person that this could be.

"Genzo!" Nami says to the man." How is everything? Is everyone safe?"

Genzo takes a deep breath before responding." For the most part, yes. But I have some rather bad news for you, Nami.

Nami's face goes from a cheerful one to a rather serious concerned look. " What's wrong Genzo?"

"Well, it's about Nojiko." He says, turning away from Nami's gaze.

Nami's face turns to one of sheer terror. "Genzo, what happened to Nojiko?"

"I'm sorry Nami…" he pauses for a minute before continuing, " … but Arlong took her."

"He… He… He what? Why the fuck would Arlong take my sister?"

"He found out what she is and took here because he knows how useful she could be to him. "

Genzo's words made me curious as to what Nojiko was. It was clear from his words that she was indeed a pokegirl, but what breed remained the question. What breed would Along find you're useful enough that he would just straight kidnap her. This was a definite change from Canon but maybe this was due to maybe this was due the nature of the world, and the fact that Nami had stayed with me instead of stealing the Merry and coming home.

"When did this happen?!" Nami says as she begins to cry and shout at the same time.

"I would say about an hour or so ago!"

Nami collapses to the ground, "no, no, no, no! FUCK YOU ALONG! FUCK YOU, YOU BASTARD!

She pulls a dagger from out of a small holder on her side. She takes a dagger and stabs it into her right arm, piercing the Arlong jolly roger that was tattooed on her arm. As she screams her voice becomes more and more incoherent with each word. Until she finally just screams, ARLONG!"

The sheer despair and her voice was very apparent, as she screamed. After a good ten minutes of screaming she finally stops.

She punches the ground multiple times, then stops. She finally looks at me with tears pouring down her cheeks, as she sits there on the ground crying. "Luffy, help me! Help save my sister. Please Luffy, I'm begging you. "
