Author: Okay, I was lying. This is the last chapter. I want to thank all of you who read and reviewed. I do hope I can find motivation to write more fanfics of this kind, but until then, enjoy this last chapter.


In which three Titans find a new Home

The sea was calm and after Luffy found and single-handedly beat up Captain Gate's whole crew, the Pirates were at ease once more.

That is, until there was a massive crash somewhere in the storage area. Nami and Usopp were behind their stronger Nakama in an instant, hiding from whatever danger might have lurked there. Robin arched a brow, using her powers to search for the intruder.

"They're in the storage hold. Three of them", she finally answers, "And they're not going to cause trouble, I believe."

"Did you tell them to stay put?" Zoro questioned.

Robin only smiled and shook her head. "I think it would be funnier if you just went down and ask them directly."

The Swordsman cocked his head slightly, wondering just what she meant by that. Nami volunteered to stay up on deck because a storm was coming, but Usopp had no chance to retreat when Luffy grabbed him and dragged him with them. Sanji calmly lit a cigarette and Zoro crunched his knuckles. It wasn't necessary that he beat up the intruders, but it never hurt to be prepared.

There was another crash, followed by a very angry "God damnit, you stupid moose! Be a bit more careful next time!"

"I heard the voice of an angel!" Sanji sang, "I hope the intruder is a beautiful mermaid who got lost!" He danced past the other three and opened the door to the storage room. "Don't worry, my beautiful lady I came to- huh?"

He frowned at the lanky young man who was sprawled over a fallen crate. "Who are you?"

"Ah- Sorry Sir", the young man replied, "I was in the Scouting Legion. Bertolt Hoover?"

"Scouting?" Zoro asked, "You stowed away on our ship? Why?"

"Because I asked him", the female voice spoke up. The short blonde girl, Annie, appeared from the storage, looking challenging at Zoro. Reiner was number three. He rubbed his neck awkwardly.

"Oh?" Luffy asked, "Why did you hide on our ship?"

"You already forgot? I thought you wanted me to be your Nakama."

"Ah right", the rubber Pirate remembered. A wide grin split his face as he whipped back towards Sanji. "Sanji! I want meat! We have to celebrate our new Nakama!"

"Of course", the chef sang when he whirled out of the room, "I will prepare a nice meal for my new angel!"

He zipped towards the exit. The three teens slowly left their hide-out and followed after the Pirates.

They walked back to the deck, where the other Strawhat Pirates looked at them in confusion. Robin smiled.

"Attention!" Luffy called out, "We have new Nakama!"

"It's nice to meet you", Reiner grinned at them. "I'm Reiner. The tall dude is Bertolt and the little Lady is Annie! We'll be your crewmates from now on."

"Cool!" Chopper squealed.

"SUPER!" Franky cheered.

"May I see your Panties?" Brook asked, seconds before the short blonde girl punched him hard enough to send him into the railing.

"Very well", Nami growled, hands on her hip, "You can stay, but I hope to dear god that you are no damn leeches." She paused. "Of course, if you are, you have to pay for every day you stay here."

"Don't worry", Annie replied calmly, "We are strong fighters. We won't go down easily."

"Yeah!" Luffy chimed in, grinning over his ears. "Annie is the giant perverted Lady we met in that forest!"

Sanji returned just in time to hear what his captain just said. Seconds later, the chef was on the floor, unconscious from the massive explosion of blood from his nose. Chopper was fretting over him.

"Titan", Reiner corrected the Captain, "Not 'perverted Giants', okay?" He slung his arm around the other teen. "We're Titans too", he explained, "And we really want to have some adventures!"

"Shishishi", Luffy laughed, "Let's party!"

"YAY!" Chopper and Usopp cheered.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

"Uh... guys?" Bertolt asked, "I think somebody is crying."

"Huh?" The pirates went into the galley. The Den-Den Mushi sat on the table top, crying its eyes out of their stalks.

"Your snail... is crying", Annie deadpanned.

"I wonder why?" Luffy wanted to know, "Maybe it got an upset stomach?"

"It is an emergency signal", Franky realized, "Somebody is in trouble."

"What? So if I answer, we know who it is?"

"Wait, Luffy!" Robin threw in, "There is a pretty large chance that this signal has been forged by the Marine! It is a well-known tactic they use, if you answer they can tap into the signal and discover our location."

"That's our Robin", Usopp tried to reason, "Let's be careful now, right?"

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy, the Man who will become pirate King! Who is there?!"

"IDIOT!" Usopp and Reiner shrieked.

"HELP MEEEEEE!" The Snail wailed, drawing the attention. "AAAAH! IT'S SO COLD! IS THAT YOU, BOSS?"

"No! I'm not your boss! Is it cold there?" Luffy wanted to know.

"THE CREW- THEY KEEP GETTING KILLED ONE AFTER ANOTHER! THEY KEEP GETTING KILLED BY A SAMURAI!"

The Crew traded startled glances. "Hey!" Luffy shouted, "What's your name?"

"I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE!" The snail sobbed, "PLEASE, JUST COME AND HELP ME!"

"Where are you?" Luffy asked again.

"I-I'M ON PUNK HAZARD!"
