Authors Note: I'm going to try to start adding more detail into my writing, so that's why it looks longer! New chapters will come in every Saturday!

Luffy and Zoro are currently on the small dinghy, Zoro just woke up from his nap and Luffy is navigating towards Orange Town.

"So anyways, Zoro, what's your dream?" Asks Luffy. As he is genuinely curious of Zoro's ambition.

"My dream, you might laugh at it... But my dream is to become the world's greatest swordsman!" Yells Zoro. This causes Luffy to gain a wide grin and say

"Good, I would be embarrassed if the pirate king had anything less than that!" Through this, Zoro gets a grip on what type of person his Senchou is.

"So why are we going to Orange Town anyways captain?" Zoro Asks

"I found some information at Shells Town that there's a 15 million Beri pirate called Buggy the Clown occupying the town. I learned of him through my mentor, he said he was a sworn brother to him. If he is a good guy, then I'll ask him to join my crew, if not, then we'll take his treasure and bounty. Luffy explains.

"Why do we need all this treasure and beri anyways, Senchou?" Asks Zoro. Luffy gains a tick mark at this and says.

"We're pirates! We can't be broke now can we! And also, we need a much bigger boat, because I take 1/3 of this dinghy by myself!" Answers Luffy. Zoro takes this as an opportunity to ask what exactly Luffy is.

"Senchou, speaking of your size, what exactly are you?" Zoro hastily asked. At this, Luffy gains a wide grin and says.

"That's a surprise Zoro! Who knows, you might see my full form later on our voyage!" Says Luffy. Zoro gets annoyed at this so he just goes back to sleep.

Timeskip: 3 Hours

"Oi! Zoro! Wake up, we're almost there!" Says Luffy while shaking Zoro. Zoro wakes up groggily and sees Orange Town in view.

"That's nice and also, where is all our food!?" Asks Zoro. Luffy looks a bit a bit guilty for eating all the food, so he says...

"Ah it's ok Zoro! Look, there's a bird right there! Hang on right there!" Says Luffy. Luffy jumps to the bird, but realizes his mistake, he didn't realize how big the bird was, and got captured in his beak. Zoro gains a tick mark and starts paddling very rapidly.

"That idiot!" Zoro yells as he attempts to catch up to Luffy. He notices a small group of people abandoned in the sea yelling for his help.

"Get on! I won't stop so just get on while I'm paddling!" Zoro says while paddling rapidly, still trying to catch up with his Senchou. The three now recognizable pirates get on the dinghy.

"Hehe thank's fellow! But this ship is occupied by the Buggy Pirates from now on!" Says the leading pirate. Zoro gives them the demon looks and pounds all three of them on the head.

"W-We're sorry sir! We didn't know you were Roronoa Zoro! We can paddle for you. Where would you like to go?" Says the leading pirate in fear for his life.

"Take me to Orange Town, my Senchou is there..." Zoro says. At this, the three pirates become curious to who could be strong enough to become the captain of the great Roronoa Zoro...

"Y-Yes Sir!" Yell all three pirates while rowing as fast as they can.

Timeskip: 30 Minutes:

"Hmm looks like I'm over the town now, but why is it so destroyed?" Thought Luffy trying to figure out what was going on.

"Okay bird, can you let me down now?" Says Luffy

A/N: Luffy eating the dragon fruit allows him to speak to aerial animals!

"Okay! I'll just drop you off here!" Says the bird. Luffy gives a quick thanks and the bird drops him midair.

A women with orange hair is running from a group of pirates. She is about 5,5", and has a piece of paper in her hand.

"Come back here! Give us back Captain Buggy's grand line map!" Says the pirate, seeming a bit fearful of his Captain.

As the girl runs away, she notices something big coming out of the sky, so she stops. The pirates also stop as well.

CRASH

"Ahh, finally landed..." Thought Luffy without a scratch on him. The girl sees this as an opportunity to get away.

"Ah, boss your here! Come help me with these pirates!" The girl says. The girl then jump onto the roof of a house and proceeds to watch the man, as she takes in his appearance.

"So you're her boss, huh?" A pirate said

"You may look strong, but we outnumber you!" A pirate says. All the other pirates seem to agree with this and tries to capture him.

CLANG

All the pirates get instantly knocked down as Luffy puts his club away. Nami get surprised and jump back down to go talk to him.

"I only need strong people to help me, and this guy looks exactly like the match I need!" Thought Nami

"Hey, you look strong, wanna team up!" Says Nami. Luffy didn't know what he would benefit from teaming up with her, but he decided to ask about that later.

"How about we sit down and talk, first. Do you have anywhere to stay at?" Asked Luffy

Luffy follows the girl to a abandoned home, which have pictures of a random family, so he got suspicious.

"Do you live here?" Luffy asked. The girl replies with

"No, I'm just borrowing the home for now..." she says

"So what's your name, my name's Luffy!" He says

"My name is Nami... So how about teaming up! You look strong..." The newly introduced Nami says

"Okay Nami, but why would I want to team up with you? What skills do you bring to the table?" Luffy asks. At this, Nami gives and wide grin.

"I'm the best damn navigator you will ever see!" Nami yells. Luffy gives a joyful expression.

"Okay! Hey I have a better idea! Why don't you join my pirate crew!" Luffy says. Nami gives a hateful expression to this newly gathered information.

"So you're a pirate? No! I hate pirates, the only thing I like in this world is money and tangerines!" Nami yelled. The atmosphere got much tenser now.

"Why do you hate pirates so much? Did they do something to you?" Said Luffy. Nami narrowed her eyes.

"None of your business. Anyways, we can still team up if you want. Said Nami. Luffy saw this as an opportunity to try to convince her so he accepted.

"Well, I guess I'll go beat see what Buggy is like now." Said Luffy. Nami has decided it wouldn't be a problem with a guy this strong. Maybe he could... No, there's no way anyone was stronger than HIM...

"Alright! Let's go!" Luffy says. Nami nods as they he'd out the occupied home.

Zoro has just come on the island, knocking out the Buggy grunts. "Hmm, now where could have senchou gone?"

Luffy has arrived at the place Buggy was occupying

with Nami right behind her. Buggy's laughter could be heard throughout the town.

As Buggy had beaten down two of his underlings for saying he has a big red nose, his senses suddenly told him one thing... DANGER

He looks to the source of his senses and looks at the massive... thing in front of him. He he nearly pissed his pants looking at this monster.

"So this is who Shanks was talking about? Hmm.. nothing like the person he described. I'm kind of disappointed." Luffy says with disinterest. Buggy's eyes nearly come out of their sockets at the mention of Shanks

"You know Shanks? Wow what a coincidence!" Buggy says with fear in his voice. If this... monster becomes angry at them that could mark the end of the Buggy Pirates instantly.

"Yeah, but I never knew he would be talking so highly about a third rate pirate crew who wastes time torturing civilians in the East Blue.." Luffy says with a cold gaze.

Buggy was obviously annoyed at this remark, but he couldn't show it to this walking calamity in front of him. But then... disaster happened. Cabaji, being the hothead he is, heard this remark and went ballistic. Buggy tried to stop him, but to no avail, he continued.

"And who do you think you and this character Shanks is anyways?! Captain Buggy would probably CRUSH Shanks without a second thought!" Cabaji yelled. Luffy's face darkened and Buggy decided this was his only chance. He went for the kill.

"Die now! You should've never messed with the Buggy Pirates!" Buggy yelled as he motioned his dagger closer to hit Luffys huge chest. And hit, it did. Now piercing his body? That's a whole other story. The daggers broke on impact. Everyone, including Nami, was speechless.

"... die now, and remember your mistakes in the afterlife..." Luffy said quietly as he grabbed his spiked sea stone club and was getting ready to attack.

"Heaven's Judgement!" Luffy yelled as he swung his club and sent Buggy Flying. Luffy motioned at Nami to whisper something in her ear.

"Oi, you like stealing from pirates right? Now is the perfect time." Luffy whispered. Nami stood there still thinking she was dreaming. She finally woke up and nodded, sneaking out of the battlefield.

Right after she left, Zoro finally found Luffy and headed toward him. "Oi! Senchou! I finally found you. Looks like you got into another fight huh?" Zoro said.

"Yeah it's just some small fries though. Actually although he looks weak, you could take on that guy over there, he appears to be a swordsman." Luffy says as he points at Cabaji.

"Hm, sure whatever you say captain. This should only take one hit." Zoro says with confidence in his tone.

"Huh, so you're Roronoa Zoro. It'll be an honor to fight you." Says Cabaji actually expecting Zoro take this seriously.

"It'll be more of beat down more than a fight, small fry.." Zoro said smirking as he gets ready for his attack.

"We'll see about that Roronoa! I'll see you in hell!" Cabaji yells as he jumped up in the air.

Ichirin Zashi!

Oni Giri!

Both yelled at the same time, but only one got the result they had expected. Zoro was the clear winner.

As Zoro wipes the blood of the blades he headed back to the platform to see all the other Buggy Pirates taken care of by Luffy.

"Ah Zoro! So you took care of that fodder?" Luffy asks as Zoro nods his head.

"Yeah. So are we going to head out now? Zoro asks getting ready to leave. Luffy tells him to wait

"We're waiting for one more, Zoro." Luffy says with a grin. Zoro is suddenly confused and at that moment he hears someone coming behind him with a heavy bag.

"Hey Luffy! I got their treasure in this bag!" Nami points at the bag and asks Luffy to hold it for him.

"Zoro, this is our new navigator Nami. Nami, this is my first mate Roronoa Zoro." Both of them greet each other and shake hands.

"Okay it's time we head out now, but Nami, let's leave half of the treasure here for the villagers. They need it to pick up their feet again." Luffy says, and Nami begrudgingly agreed.

Half the treasure gone. They head out to the next part of their adventure. Who knows? They might even get a new crewmate...
