I have had some random ideas going through my head about this story and I sort of just blended them all into this in a way that is hopefully, at least sort of, attractive.

I hope you all enjoy! Please let me know what you think so I can think about if I should continue or not.

The seafoam-green haired swordsman was doing as he normally did that day. He practiced with giant weights as Sanji yelled at Luffy for breaking into the fridge once again.

"You shitty captain. When will you learn that the rest of us do in fact have stomachs too." The blond cook angrily questioned the teen captain.

Zoro laughed to himself. Some things didn't change over the two years separated from everyone.

Luffy must've tried to play off that he didn't do it because suddenly there was a crashing on deck. Zoro peeked over the railing to see that Sanji had kicked Luffy in the face like he usually did in this sort of situation with him.

Zoro sighed. It was a good thing Luffy had his Gomu Gomu no Mi devil fruit. If he didn't he was sure that Sanji would've killed him by now.

"Oi, Nami!" Luffy yelled as he recovered from Sanji's inhuman kick.

"What is it?" The red haired navigator yelled back with an aggravated tone.

"Are we near an island?"

Nami sighed and checked the map that was lying next to her. It took her a second to search the map for any nearby islands.

"It should be about another day's journey until we're near any other islands." She called down to him.

He pouted as he looked over the railing towards the ocean. The swordsman set down his weights and made his way down to the deck with the rest of his crew. Something caught his eye over near the horizon. It was a rock formation.

"Oi, Nami" he called to the navigator that had gone back to reading a newspaper.

She stood and leaned over the railing, "What is it!?"

Zoro pointed off towards the formation of rocks, "What is that then?"

The red head followed his gesture and gazed at the formation. A look of confusion crossed her face. Zoro grew nervous at her expression. Normally Nami knew exactly where they were headed. She knew the islands that were around them as they sailed through the grand line. Even if they were in the middle of a storm she would know where to head so that they could get out of it. But, the expression that shown on her face was that of complete and utter confusion.

"Nami-swan, are you alright?" The shitty cook asked from where he stood in the deck.

"That doesn't make sense . . ." she muttered to herself as she went to get something. Nami came back to the railing with rolls of maps and started scavenging through them, "None of my maps have a recorded record of there being an island there!"

Brook, Franky, Chopper, Usopp, and Robin were now looking at the rock formation. They were attempting to figure out what the formation could be if not an island.

"Perhaps we've found an undiscovered island . . ." Robin offered as an explanation.

"If that's the case then maybe we should go explore it!" Luffy called to her. Of course he would want to explore an island. They'd been sailing for two whole days.

"Luffy's right" Sanji surprisingly agreed, "If this is in fact an undiscovered island then we should go map it out."

This caught the navigators attention. A map of the world would need every island on it. She couldn't just pass by this island and wipe it out of her mind like it never happened. She couldn't live with herself if that happened.

"Alright, but how do we know how to prepare?" Nami asked as she made her way down to the deck.

"We'll prepare the way we always prepare." Zoro told her.

"And how's that?"

"By not really preparing for anything." He replied with a smirk.

And with that the Strawhat pirates made their way to the unknown island. As they approached they noted that it looked like a normal forest covered island. It wasn't like Little Garden in the way that there were no giant wild animals seeking to kill and eat them. It wasn't like Drum Island because there were no huge mountains. It looked more like Usopp's home island of Syrup Village. Just without any villages.

"It doesn't look that exciting . . ." Luffy disappointedly noted as he stepped off the Sunny.

"We haven't even stepped two feet on it and you're already being opinionated!" Sanji yelled as he helped Nami and Robin off of the ship.

"I'm going to go ahead!" Their captain called to them as he zoomed into the forest.

"Luffy! Wait up!" Chopper cried as he stepped onto the beach. But, it was too late. He was already too far into the forest to hear them.

"That idiot." Sanji mumbled.

The group left the ship with Franky and Brook to look after it as they explored the island. Zoro went searching for Luffy along with Nami so he wouldn't get lost. Sanji had gone with Robin and Chopper.

"Where could he have gone?" Nami asked herself. She knew her captain was into adventuring and all, but this was ridiculous. This island wasn't even on any sort of map she had. Something didn't smell right and she didn't like it.

"Oi, there's something up ahead."

The words from Zoro snapped her out of her nervous thoughts. She examined the area ahead of them. Large stone formations could be seen through the trees.

The two of them rushed forward. What they saw was what looked like ancient ruins.

"Oi, guys!" They heard. Slowly out of one of the tunnels that were part of the ruins someone emerged.

"Luffy?" They asked in unison.

"Yeah, isn't this cool?" He said with much enthusiasm as he looked behind him into the tunnel he emerged from.

"Oh, and look at this thing. I thought you might like it since it's gold, Nami." He held up a golden sphere that had a few gems sticking out of it, "It has some weird writing on it though."

The captain tossed it to his navigator. She caught it and her eyes immediately shot out of her head. It was so heavy. This was definitely solid gold. It wasn't hollowed out or anything. It could be worth millions of belli. She rolled it around in her hands. Luffy had said that there had been weird writing on it.

She saw it and said it to herself,"Vertuntur metae tangendo vitæ . . . what the hell does that mean?"

She looked up at her captain, "Luffy, I have no idea what this means, it's like a different language or something."

Her captain just shrugged.

That was when the group heard something. It sounded like crashing. It was off towards the distance.

"Did we get followed by marines or something?" Nami yelled. The other two didn't know any more than she did. Though, they were pretty sure that that was the case. Luffy jumped down to join Nami and the swordsman. Once he did the group of three immediately started running off towards where they came from. That was where the loud, thundering, noises were coming from.

The noises grew louder and louder as they approached the beach until finally they broke through the trees.
