Hello!

Ok so this is my first ever fan-fiction and might seem to be an unoriginal idea. I've had this story developing for some time but then when I actually checked, a lot of people had the same plot idea as me. But they were a little different then I imagined. So I decided to publish my own, enjoy!

The crew was distressed by the time they reached the island. The sky way gray and they had been rowing for hours. The sunny had been stolen right from under them and the only lead they had was the eternal pose that was left at the scene of the crime.

"S…a…n…j...i I'm hungry….y….y…y" said Luffy for the third time in the last 5 minutes.

"Well we wouldn't be in this mess if you had just stayed on the ship LIKE FRANKY TOLD YOU TO!" Luffy shut his mouth and kept rowing knowing his cook was pissed.

Sanji regretting his actions told Luffy that they would eat as soon as they reached the island, which by then was finally visible on the horizon. The usual wide grin appeared on Luffy's face as he picked up speed.

Sanji kept his word as he gathered the fruit on the nearby trees and started to cook.

"Sanji I don't understand how you can still move! My arms are killing me!" Usopp complained. Lifting his arms and letting them flop down as an example.

"hmph weakling" Zoro stated as he kicked Usopp in the head "with all that muscle you came back with I thought you would have more stamina." he repeated with a smug look on his face.

"says the guy who spent the last 2 years playing with monkeys" Usopp retorted, which earned him another kick to the head.

"Yohohohoho!" Brook proclaimed "Yes we all have had our own fun these last 2 years… being together again makes me feel like my hearts going to burst... but wait I don't have a heart… yohohohoho!"

"But now that we are together could you guys stop fighting long enough to act like nakama?" Nami said.

Before the sunny was stolen the crew had each given a brief summary of their experiences on their own, except for Luffy. During that time every one didn't have or even want to ask him, they knew enough.

When the crew finished their snack they thought about what to do about their situation. Robin, probably being the smartest out of the group when it came to situations like these spoke first:

"So captain… let me get this straight, your left the ship out of curiosity while everyone else went to gather supplies and when you came back it was gone?"

"Uh well not exactly, when I came back the ship was covered in this orangey mist and there was this weird guy on the sunny. I yelled at him to get off my ship and he just laughed and threw the eternal pose at my head, when I sat back up he, and the ship, were gone." Luffy said racking his brain for more details that Robin was asking for.

"Hmm, well this is defiantly fishy… its almost if they guy wanted us to follow him" Franky stated. He couldn't have been more right.

"eeeeekkkk!" squealed Chopper as he ran behind Luffy. He pointed his trembling hand to the end of the beach where there was orange mist appearing.

"Thats it!" Luffy yelled excitedly as he jumped up and grabbed his hat. "That's the stuff I saw!"

"Well then we should check it out, our thief might be over there" Robin stated.

"I'm going to kick his ass for making us row for hours to get to this shitty island!" yelled Zoro as he brandished his swords and the crew unanimously agreed to run into the mist.

It was thicker then they expected, eventually having to form a tight group so the wouldn't get separated. At the end of the beach was a cove where they could see the form of a person.

"Hey! You! Who the hell are you and why did you steal our ship?" announced Sanji and the man was fully visible now. He was dressed in a torn up purple suit. He had a white bowtie and an eye patch. The man was floating slightly above the ground whit a smug look on his face. The mist was coming out of his hands.

"So you have finally arrived pirate crew. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Tilbeceon, but you all can call me Till. Now I'm sure your wondering why I brought you all here?" His eyes scanned the straw-hat crew, they all had their weapons or fists ready and waiting to take a piece out of him.

Till chuckled and continued "I used to be a member of a pirate crew just like you, but after our captain betrayed us when we had finally reached the new world, we were all left out on this merciless ocean to die. I am the only survivor, now I have devoted my life to destroying pirate crews so they too will share my pain!"

"Well if you only wanted to kill us then what the hell was the point of dragging us all the way OUT HERE?" protested Nami ready to send a lighting bolt down his throat.

"Well aren't you a feisty one? Well if you must know it's the island. It's magical, and I can control its magic thanks to all the time I've spent studding it. I bring pirate crews here by stealing their ship and they become to weak to fight thanks to the rowing and eating the paralyzing fruit, so they can't fight back."

The straw-hats let out a silent gasp as they realized that they could no longer move. Sanji cursed himself for not realizing the fruit was poisonous and so did Chopper, as he should be familiar with most types of poison.

Luffy walked up to Till unaffected thanks to his adventures in Impel Down. He glanced around to see his nakama struggling. Chopper nodded his head as he remembered that he learned Luffy was immune to poison on Fishman Island. Brook sadly was affected though because he drank some coconut milk.

"Hey! Bowtie! Give us back our ship and free my nakama you bastard!" Luffy said angrily as he was about to punch Till.

"If you want your ship back you will have to past my test first." Laughed Till, turning his body to mist. As Luffy's punch went right through him. Luffy, now very pissed off, used his haki to harden on his fist, and repeated his gum-gum pistol attack but it still went through.

"What the?" Wondered Luffy as his arm snapped back in place. "My haki should have let me punched any logia type devil fruit user!"

"Hehe" chuckled Till "like I said it's the islands magic, I'm not a devil fruit user. You will have to pass my test."

"What kind of test?" asked Franky, who was struggling against the fruit.

"Well my cyborg friend, it's a fun one! It's what caused my crew to disband; the mist, which reveled the person we most respected deepest and darkest secrets, affected our crew. In our case it was the captain, as it should be on any good pirate crew, by looking into his mind we learned that he wasn't the man we thought he was. After that he left us for dead. It's this islands curse."

The crew all thought silently as they agreed that they respected Luffy the most, remembering the reasons each joined his crew.

"Fine." Luffy eventually said, "I've got nothing to hide."

Luffy looked fiercely into Till's eye and Till just put on a wide grin. Luffy was thinking about some memories that he wouldn't want his crew to see, like the pain and destruction during the war. Especially the sad state he was in afterwards.

"Well, aren't we brave." Till stated, only now remembering that this guy had a 400 million berri bounty on his head "Everyone has a secret they won't want to share, and when it gets out everyone who respected him will leave his side." Till continued

Till snapped his fingers and Luffy fell unconscious.

The entire crew always wondered what caused their captain to be the way he was, but this was not the right way to find out. They all just stared at Till, each wanting to rip him to shreds.

"Let me explain how this works, I am going to force you into the kids head. You will see any memories that have some significance in his life when you guys weren't there, including some of the earliest memories of the crew because obviously you all didn't join at the same time. And when you come out, you will hate your captain like all the others haha." Said Till, now slightly afraid at what he had gotten himself into as he looked at the pirates. The mist encircled each member and they all fell one by one to the ground.
