Chapter 1: Another Adventure

A man with green hair sleeps inside the crow's nest as the ship he is on continues to ride the waves of the ocean smoothly. The green hair man yawns as he wakes up from his slumber. He looks outside to the ocean and notices the sun rising up indicating a new day approaching. The quietness surrounding the ship he is on is peaceful. If only such peace could last throughout the entire day. The man decides to rest and enjoy the peace. He grabs his three katana and places them next to him. A few hours of extra sleep will not hurt him. He yawns as he closes his eyes once again as sleep begins to overtake him.

However, his peaceful day only lasts for a few seconds longer as loud noises begin to occur on the deck of the Thousand Sunny.

"Get Out! Breakfast is not ready!" shouted a voice.

Suddenly, a sound of someone crashing through a wall occurs waking up the green hair man.

"Stupid ero-cook," said the green hair man.

"It's too early for yelling morons!" shouted a female voice.

The green hair man sighs.

"Oh great, the witch is up," said the man.

The green hair man decides to head towards the deck knowing breakfast should be done in a few minutes and he does not want his captain eating everything before he has a chance to eat.

"Hey Zoro!" shouted a man with a straw hat.

"Hey Luffy," replied Zoro.

"Come on Usopp, Chopper!" shouted Luffy.

A young man with a long nose and a small reindeer follow the captain yelling as loud as they can.

"Would you guys shut up? We barely woke up!" shouted an orange hair woman.

"But Nami," complained Luffy.

"Shut it!" shouted Nami as she heads back into her room.

Luffy grins as he heads towards the kitchen door.

"Sanji!" shouted Luffy.

"Learn some patience!" shouted Sanji from inside the kitchen.

"They're at it again," said a black hair woman to Nami.

"Yes, they are Robin," replied Nami with a groan. "By the way, is Franky here yet?"

Robin nods her head no and asks why Nami is looking for Franky. Nami responds by telling her she needs Franky to work on something for her.

"You've got to be kidding me!" shouted a voice. "How many times do I need to fix the wall? Stop breaking it!"

"Oh, seems like Franky is here," said Nami.

A few seconds later, Sanji exits the kitchen as he takes in a deep breath before speaking.

"Breakfast is ready!" shouted Sanji.

"Finally!" shouted Luffy.

Everyone else look at Luffy, then they look at each other. In an instant, the entire crew race to the kitchen hoping to beat Luffy. However, Luffy ends up beating the entire crew except for one.

"Sanji," whined Luffy, "why is Brook already here."

"Because he won't attempt to steal food before its ready," replied Sanji. "Now sit!"

Brook begins to stare at Nami, who raises an eyebrow at the skeleton.

"Nami-san, it's such a cold morning," started Brook. "I need something to warm myself with. Can I see your panti-."

Brook never finished that sentence since he ended head first into the floor. Nami ignores the laughing Brook as she sits down between Luffy and Robin.

Breakfast went just like any other meal. Luffy attempted to steal his crew's food. The crew attempted to save their food at all cost.

After breakfast, each crewmember began their own set of activates. Brook headed to the back of the ship to write music as he watches the waves produced from the ship. Chopper return to the infirmary to begin making another batch of medicine. Usopp and Franky headed towards Franky's weapon development room to continue their work on a new project. Sanji remained in the kitchen coming out to serve Nami and Robin occasionally as the two woman sat on beach chairs getting a suntan. Zoro returned to the crow's nest to keep watch for the next island. Luffy sits on his favorite spot of the ship, the lion's head as he enjoys the view in front of him.

*SC*

A few hours passes as Zoro alerts the crew of an upcoming island. The rest of the crew appears on the deck as they view the upcoming island. Since their adventure in Fishman Island, the crew hoped to get a little break from fighting powerful enemies. However, the moment they arrived in the New World they came across harsh weather and numerous Marines. The past few days been quiet for the crew since no enemies attacked them.

"Nami, what's the name of the island ahead of us?" asked Usopp.

Nami looks on a map in her hand.

"If we went the right path, the name of the island ahead of us is Syros Island," replied Nami.

"All right! Adventure!" shouted Luffy.

Luffy gave the order to land on an empty shore to avoid Marines as Nami leads the crew to safety. The Straw Hats Pirates prepare to leave the ship to gather the necessary supplies and have fun while at the island.

"All right, this is the amount of money we will spend at the island today. Carefully spend the money and try not to get into trouble," said Nami.

Nami looks around as she notices a certain amount of money gone as well as the captain.

"Where's Luffy?" asked Nami.

The crew looks around and notices the captain missing. Sanji sees Luffy running off with a handful of money.

"The moron is running towards the town!" shouted Sanji.

"Idiot!" yelled Nami. "Don't you dare cause any trouble!"

*SC*

The rest of the crew decided to head towards town except Zoro, who decided to remain in the ship to guard it. The entire crew already knew Luffy's destination to the meat shop and only hoped he did not draw any attention to him.

Nami and Robin decided to head towards the shopping center to buy clothes for themselves. During their walk, they also went to the navigation shop. Nami bought a few supplies such as paper, ink, and a new pen. Afterwards, they headed to the library. Robin wanted to increase her supply of books since she wants to read new materials. Once they finished their personal shopping, they return to clothing shops to check for new wardrobes.

Usopp and Chopper decided to shop together since they wanted to explore the town together. They stopped to view the medical shop and the weapon shop to restock on any supplies. Afterwards, they decided to have fun until they head back to the ship.

Sanji decided to shop alone. At first, he wanted to follow Nami and Robin, but he was decline since Nami wanted to go with Robin alone without interruptions. Sanji sighs knowing his chance with the two beautiful women was lost. However, he knew he needed to restock on food supplies before heading towards the ship. He just hopes to buy enough food to last until the next island since he has a big mouth to feed.

Brook decided to help Franky since he does not have anything else to do. Franky accepted the offer as the two pirates head to the shipyard to buy equipment to repair the damage done to Thousand Sunny and any future damage.

*SC*

Luffy exits a meat shop with loads of meat in his hands and mouth. He surprises nearby citizens with the food in such a position, but ignores them as he continues on his way. Luffy swallows the meat in his mouth as he heads back to the ship. As he walks, he continues to eat the rest of the food, but suddenly he stops. He looks behind him as other citizens walk around. He resumes his walk, but a person steps from the alley. A young woman in her mid-twenties walks up to Luffy.

The Straw Hat looks at the woman before he decides to continue onward. However, the woman continues to follow Luffy. After a while, Luffy finally turned around to confront the woman.

"Hi," said Luffy. "Why are you following me?"

"Hello, sorry for following you, but I noticed something about you. It is quite mysterious, but also intriguing," said the woman.

"Huh?" responded Luffy.

"I guess big words aren't for you," said the woman. "My name is Innes and I am a fortuneteller."

"A fortunlily?" wondered Luffy.

Innes sweat drops then clears her throat.

"I can read your future," continued Innes trying to get Luffy to understand.

"No thank you," replied Luffy quickly.

"What? Why not?" asked Innes.

"I don't need to know," replied Luffy.

'I sense something about him, I need to search his future,' thought the woman.

Innes sensed Luffy the moment he arrived at the island. Since then she has followed Luffy and his crew searching for anything she could use to convince Luffy. She noticed how close the pirate is.

"What if telling your future will save your nakama," said Innes.

Luffy froze the moment Innes mentioned his nakama. He turns around and replies to Innes.

"Fine," said Luffy.

Innes smiles and leads Luffy into her home. She leads him to a table in the middle of her living room and sits him down. She grabs a crystal ball and lights up four candles at the corners of the table. She sits across from Luffy and closes her eyes. She begins to concentrate as the crystal ball begins to shine.

"All right, I want to see your future. From the moment you landed here, I sensed an incredible energy surrounding you. I know you are special and you have something ahead of you," said Innes.

Innes searches into Luffy trying to find out his future.

"I see a man with two guns and he has tremendous power. Two people from your past connect with your future," said Innes as she continues. "I see a group of people helping you fight a dark force."

Suddenly, Innes' eyes begin to widen. The next set of events surprise her.

"W-What is this? I've never seen such evil. Your future will have many hardships. A war is coming and you will participate in it," said Innes. "Your nakama and many others will be part of this war. An alliance of seven men will occur."

War, Luffy learned this word the hard way. His brother Ace died in the last war and Luffy refuses to lose anyone else.

"War," said Luffy in a low voice.

His fist tighten knowing the damage a war can do.

Innes begins to worry from the visions she saw. There is more that Innes saw than she is telling Luffy, but it is something she cannot say.

'This boy has a difficult future,' thought Innes.

"Listen, I won't charge you for this fortunetelling. The only thing I ask in return is to survive and don't let the darkness consume you," said Innes.

Luffy nods and stands up. He prepares to leave and return to the ship.

"Good luck," said Innes.

*SC*

"There he is! Don't let him escape!" shouted a marine.

'Damn it! I wish I had more money!' thought a young red hair teen boy.

The red hair teen hides behind a tree as an army of marine chase him down. He has blue eyes and has a small red patch of hair on his chin as if it is just growing. He wears a black jacket with red stripes running on the back similar to tigers. He has black pants with red circles on each thigh. He wears black sandals with open toes. On his back is a sword with an orange handle and a black sheath.

The teen sighs as he holds out a log pose and map.

'At least I got what I needed,' thought the teen.

The red hair teen begins running towards the nearest town as he tries to find a boat to use. He finds a large boat, which can carry about a hundred people.

"This should do. With my abilities I can use this ship," said the red hair teen.

The young man looks to the sky as he takes in a deep breathe. He digs into his pocket and takes out a wanted poster.

'Monkey D. Luffy,' thought the teen. 'It's time to meet you in person.'
