AN: I DON'T OWN ONE PIECE

Edited 7/23/2012

First off thank you to all my fans of all my stories. Now a quick recap of what happened last chapter.

Admiral Kizaru showed up just after Luffy defeated Buggy. Of course a quick fight occurred with Luffy winning. Also the poll closed at 1 billion for a starting bounty. I honestly just threw that one in for the fun of it, so it was a surprise when it won. However I feel that that is too high, so I do not know if I will use it. I know some of you will be like why did you even put it in the poll then. Well to be honest like I said I put it in the poll just for fun, so I apologize if this upsets you.

Anyway, let's get on with the new chapter. Also I apologize for errors, I wrote this around 2 in the morning.

((((( The Doragon no Honoo )))))

It had been two days since the encounter with Kizaru. We find the crew relaxing on the deck.

'I didn't think they would actually send an Admiral after me this early.' thought Luffy as he stared out at the sea. He was so focused that he didn't see Nami approach him.

"When are you gonna pay me?"

"sigh Here." said Luffy as he threw a couple thousand Beli at her causing her to smile.

Nami was about to walk away but was stopped by Luffy.

"Nami, have you ever met a fishman before?"

That questioned caused her to sweat slightly.

"N-No. Shade is the first one I've ever met." she said lying through her teeth hoping he would believe her.

"Don't lie to me Nami. When most people meet Shade they are afraid of him... you on the other hand showed hatred when you don't even know him." she wasn't as lucky as she hoped.

Nami, knowing she was caught decided to just be upfront.

"It doesn't matter if I know him or not! They are all the same, bloodthirsty and evil!"

Luffy's mood changed instantly as he became more serious.

"How would you know, Nami?"

"I know because my home island has been under the control of the Arlong Pirates. They are fishmen that came from the Grand Line 8 years ago. It's because of them I became a thief! I'm only a thief because once I get 100 million Beli I can buy back my village from them. I've seen what they are capable of, so tell me why I should believe that Shade is different?" She didn't know why she told him all of this, but she felt like she could trust him.

Luffy looked her dead in the eye.

"Because if Shade was like this Arlong, I would of killed him when I first met him. You think I would allow someone like that on my crew? I can understand why you think what you do, but at least give Shade a chance. He is a good friend to have on your side any day." With that Luffy walked off into his cabin. Leaving Nami to think about what had just happened.

((((( One Day Later )))))

After another day at sea they arrived at the Gecko Islands where Syrup Village was located.

Luffy turned to address his crew.

"Zoro, Nami, and I will go ashore to find our newest member. While we are gone Shade is in charge." with that the three jumped into a small boat and paddled to shore. When they finally reached the land they jumped onto the ground.

Almost instantly Zoro was on edge. He had his hand on his sword when he decided to speak up.

"Oi Luffy, there's someone here."

"I know."

That's when a barrage of rocks came flying at them.

((((( A few minutes earlier )))))

"Usopp, there are pirates are coming to our island. They are in a boat and it looks like there are 3 of them." said a boy with square glasses.

"A-a-are you sure? I mean you could be imagining things." said a shaking Usopp. "No Usopp I saw them as clear as day."

"What are we going to do Captain Usopp?" asked the boy with a red bandanna on his head covering his purple hair. "Yeah Captain what should we do?" questioned the last boy who had on what appeared to be green hat.

Usopp snapped his fingers and said "I got it. We scare em." The boys face faulted. "Well I don't see you coming up with any better ideas, so come on." and with that they made their way to the pirates.

((((( Present )))))

Luffy just stopped the rocks with a blast of haki then a row of pirate flags shot up out of the bushes. 'Oi they can't be serious' thought a sweat dropping Luffy and Zoro.

After that a teenage boy appeared out of the bushes with a slingshot pointed at Luffy. "I am the great pirate Captain Usopp me and my crew of 8,000 men have taken over this island. Leave now or we will destroy you." said a bluffing Usopp. Luffy decided to mess with him.

"Oi you think that I should be scared of you, I bet you have never killed anyone before have you?" Luffy asked while walking forward with his hands in his pockets. Usopp flinched. "Ah you haven't, well Usopp I suggest you put that weapon down because it's not a toy as you seem to see it as. Or I can make you just another number in my book of people I've killed, your choice." said Luffy.

Usopp seemed to be struggling with himself but after 15 seconds he dropped to his knees panting. Then he heard laughter and looked up to see Luffy and Zoro laughing.

"Usopp if I was going to kill you I would have done it before you fired those rocks at us. Now I need to talk to you seeing as your the son of a man named Yassop." Usopp fell down the hill and landed on his back.

"How do you know my dad?" asked an eager Usopp. "Me and him were crew mates with Shanks. But let us continue this over food seeing as me and my crew are hungry. They all began to follow Usopp when Nami spotted a manor on a hill. She would have to ask him about it later.

((((( At the restaurant )))))

We find Usopp and the Straw Hats seated at a table enjoying their meal.

After everyone had filled heir stomachs Luffy began to tell Usopp about how his dad never shut up about him. "I mean honestly I feel like I know you already from how much he talked about you." said Luffy as he leaned back in his chair.

"Wow so my dad is a member of Shank's crew." said a happy Usopp.

"Yup. So how 'bout it, Usopp? Would you like to join my crew?"

Usopp thought about it and nodded.

"Yes, I would like to sail as a pirate. However before I leave, I have to say goodbye to Lady Kaya."

"I'm guessing that that's who lives in the mansion on the hill." said Nami to which Usopp nodded.

"The only problem is the butler Kurahadol. He doesn't like it when I sneak in to see Kaya because she is usually ill."

"Then I will go with you and if he should try something, I'll deal with him. You guys, don't cause any trouble while we're gone." said Luffy as he left with Usopp.

((((( At the Mansion )))))

When Luffy and Usopp arrived at the mansion Usopp snuck off to go and see Kaya leaving Luffy at the front door. So Luffy knocked on the door and when it opened he instantly frowned. He didn't like the vibe this guy was giving off. ( You should know what Kurahadol looks like. )

"Yes may I help you?" asked the man.

"Yes who are you exactly?" asked Luffy.

"I am Kurahadol, why?"

"Oh, so you are the one that has been causing Usopp trouble when he visits." said Luffy as he narrowed his eyes at Kurahadol.

Kurahadol's mood changed from friendly to a cold hard gaze.

"That boy, is nothing but trouble for Lady Kaya. She needs her rest, and he gets her too excited with his lies."

"I'm here to tell you to leave him alone, because he will be leaving with me today. Understood." said Luffy as he directed some of his haki at Kurahadol.

Kurahadol just nodded before closing the door.

Luffy went to go get Usopp.

Usopp had just finished telling Kaya about how he was a brave warrior of the sea and how he survived against a giant goldfish. This is the scene that Luffy came upon.

"Oi Usopp aren't you going to introduce us?" "Hehe um Kaya this is Monkey D. Luffy and Luffy this is Kaya." Usopp said as he gestured to both.

"Good afternoon Miss Kaya I do hope you are feeling alright. The way Usopp tells it is that you are often ill."

"Thank you for asking Luffy-san, I am doing ok today. Although I am feeling better thanks to Usopp's stories." Usopp hid his blush.

"Well Miss Kaya, I don't know if Usopp has told you yet, but Usopp will be coming with me."

Kaya turned to Usopp with tears in her eyes.

"Is that true Usopp? Are you really leaving?"

Usopp wiped the tears from her face.

"It'll be alright Kaya. Just wait and see, I'll be a brave warrior of the sea. Then I will come back!" said a smiling Usopp.

"You promise?"

"Of course!"

"Then I wish you the best of luck, Usopp!" she said as she dried her eyes and smiled.

"I take it you are ready, Usopp." said Luffy

Usopp nodded and with that they took their leave.

((((( With the Straw Hats )))))

Luffy and Usopp arrived back at the resturant after the short walk back.

"We are leaving." said Luffy as Zoro and Nami nodded.

With that they headed back for the boat, only to stop in the tracts when they reached the coast. A pirate ship had landed on the beach and the crew was preparing to raid the village. On top of the pirate ship was a skull of a cat for a pirate flag. Luffy was not going to allow this, so he turned to his crew.

"Are you guys ready for a fight?"

They nodded.

"Good, even though this won't be a long fight."

Luffy walked forward towards the advancing pirates. He stopped and raised his arms.

"Maguma-ha (1)" Luffy said as he sent a wave of of magma, destroying the advancing pirates.

Before anymore fighting started, Kurahadol arrived at the scene. Only this time he was wearing his cat claws.

"Kurahadol! What are you doing here?" asked Luffy but he had already guessed what the answer was.

"I am here to see that my crew can complete their task of raiding the village while I get Miss Kaya to sign over her fortune to me. Also my name is not Kurahadol, it's Kuro."

"Ah, I know of you. You are called Kuro of a hundred plans, Captain of the Black Cat pirates. How about a one on one fight, just so you don't lose all of your crew." said Luffy.

Kuro remembered how he felt when he first met Luffy and agreed. With that he walked over to his crew.

"Jango you're up." said Kuro.

Jango walked forward until he was about 10 feet away from Luffy ( I don't feel like describing Jango. )

"Nami, your up and make it quick." Said Luffy as he walked back towards the group passing Nami as she headed towards Jango.

((((( Nami vs Jango )))))

"Oh I get to fight the pretty lady." said a smiling Jango.

After a few seconds Jango pulled out his chakram and threw at Nami. Nami sprang forward ducking under the chakram and reaching Jango. She swung her staff but had to dodge a kick so she flipped backwards just as Jango's chakram returned to him.

"You are pretty quick with that staff." said Jango. "Let's see you dodge this." He threw the chakram again but with greater speed. This time Nami couldn't dodge it and was struck on her arm. She decided to use it to her advantage and covered her arm even though there was just a little cut.

She then gave him a pouty "I can't believe you cut me. You are so mean." Jango being weak willed rushed over to her with some gauze. "Here let me help you." Then BAM his face met Nami's staff and was sent smashing into the top of Kuro's ship unconscious.

"I can't believe how much a fucking idiot you are hahahahaha. Oi Luffy I'm finished, was that quick enough for you?"

"I was hoping you would of finished him sooner but it will do." said Luffy.

Nami smile and walked back to her original spot.

"Oi Kuro I hope that that wasn't the best you got." yelled a bored Luffy who somehow found a barrel to sit on. This caused a few brave members to attack Luffy.

"Oi Usopp take them out for me will ya?" asked Luffy. They were instantly struck down by Usopp's slingshot. Luffy didn't bother to turn around but gave him a thumbs up.

"Oi Zoro why don't you take your turn I am starting to get bored again." said Luffy slightly on edge. There was no sign of acknowledgment. "Oi someone wake his ass up." yelled Luffy. Nami hit him upside the head which woke him up.

"Oi easy, is it my turn yet?" "Yes now hurry up." said an agitated Luffy.

Zoro nodded and took off his bandanna and tied it around his head. Now that he was ready he walked to the center.

((((( Zoro vs Nyaban brothers ( I thought they were weird so I. You should know what they look like. )))))

"So who am I facing?" asked Zoro.

"Bachi and Sham your up do not fail me." said Kuro.

Suddenly two men resembling cats appeared in front of Zoro both swiping at his torso but luckily he was able to dodge. 'Damn they're quick. I have to end this quickly otherwise they will trap me.' thought Zoro as he drew his swords and readied himself.

Zoro and the brothers were in the middle of a stare down when suddenly they split up and went different directions. Then Buchi swiped at Zoro's head but Zoro blocked. However Sham appeared and slashed his stomach.

Zoro distracted on Sham was suddenly cut up by Buchi and fell on the ground. Zoro panting struggled to get back up. "Oi Zoro stop playing around and end them already." cried Luffy from the sideline with his hat on his back now. Zoro nodded and stood up to his full height and nodded.

Zoro got ready for his attack and when Buchi and Sham were close enough "Oni Giri(2)"and with that put the Nyaban brothers out of commission. Zoro sheathed his swords took off his bandanna and tied it back around his arm and walked back to his original spot under a tree shaded from the sun.

((((( Luffy vs Kuro )))))

"Alright about time. Kuro I don't feel like playing with you so don't waste my time." said Luffy as he walked forward and placed his straw hat back on his head with it shadowing his face. When he reached a good spot he put his hands in his pockets.

Kuro had already put his cat claws on his hands.

"Alright Monkey D. Luffy prepare yourself." and with Kuro disappeared from everyone but Luffy. He was fading in and out of random places but to Luffy he was basically walking.

Kuro decided to strike and rushed towards Luffy but just as he got close enough to strike he was blown back and knocked down by an unseen force.

"Kuro Kuro Kuro did you really think that that would beat me." Kuro looked back to see Luffy hadn't even lifted his head up let alone moved.

"How did you stop me I never even saw you move? No one has ever stopped my Shakushi." said Kuro.

"I stopped it with my haki and the reason you never saw me move is because I didn't." said Luffy as he lifted his head.

"Well you won't stop me again." and Kuro faded out of sight again and came at Luffy from his left side. He closed in on Luffy and swung his claws forward only for them to be disintegrated as they passed through him.

Luffy turned to face the man that was staring at his weapons.

"Goodbye, Kuro. Dai Funka(3)!" the attack destroyed Kuro.

The Black Cat pirates saw their captain beat so easily and grabbed the injured and took off.

Luffy turned back to his crew.

"Well our business here is done, let's get going." with that they got back in the boat and headed back to the Doragon no honoo.

((((( Doragon no honoo )))))

After getting back on board and introducing Usopp to everyone Luffy was approached by Shade.

"I see your trip was a success, Captain."

"Yeah and now we are heading to a restaurant called Barratie for our next member. Could you please let Nami know that while I go rest?" Shade nodded and left while Luffy went into his cabin.

Luffy sat down at his desk staring at the piece of paper in front of him.
