A/N: I have been having this idea in my head for a while, but I was hesitant to start anything because I knew that it would end up being pretty long. But summer has finally started and I thought, "What the hell." So now I have finally started it. I started planning it out a few days ago, trying to get all of my ideas on paper before I really started. I'm excited to hear what you guys think! So without further ado: I present to you the beginning of The Saviors of Wall Maria. – Kitt

Chapter One

The day was warm and the sea was calm, unusual for the Grand Line. The Thousand Sunny was slowly sailing with the help of a slight breeze. The Strawhat Pirates had finally been able to say goodbye to Fishman Island, not without trouble, of course. But now that they had been on the sea for a few days, things were back to normal. Robin was lounging on the deck reading a book. Sanji was working on some lunch for the crew. Usopp, Chopper, and Luffy were playing a card game. Brook was composing a piano piece. Franky was fishing. Zoro was working out and keeping watch over the ship. Nami was at the bow of the ship, looking out at the horizon.

Sanji appeared from out of the kitchen, "OI! Lunch is ready!"

This, of course, got the crew moving. Everyone rushed into the galley to get their food before their captain got there.

"Hello, dear Robin-chan," Sanji said with hearts in his eyes, handing her a drink with a purple umbrella in it. "I made something special for you. It's an orange and peach smoothie, made especially for you."

"Why, thank you Sanji-kun. That was very thoughtful of you," Robin said as she took the drink from his hand.

"Hey Sanji! I want a smoothie, too!" Luffy whined.

"Shut up, baka! Yours is on the bar with the rest of them!" Sanji snapped back.

Turning back to Robin, "Have you seen Nami-swan? I have a smoothie for her, as well," he said, pulling out another drink, this one with an orange umbrella.

"I think I saw her out at the front of the ship." Robin replied coolly.

"Thank you, Robin-chan!" Sanji said as he wiggled out of the galley to find Nami. "Nami-swan!"

The rest of the crew kept eating as Robin sat down to join them.

When Sanji found Nami, he immediately got hearts in his eyes and was spewing out compliments, trying to hand her the smoothie. Nami, though, did not seem to pay much attention to him, she was staring distantly out onto the ocean, one arm crossed over her midsection and the other propped on top, her hand tucked under her chin.

When Sanji finally realized that he wasn't getting a normal response, he quieted down. "Is anything amiss, Nami-swan?" He asked, finally pulling her away from her thoughts. "I brought you something special to drink."

"Oh, thank you, Sanji," she said, taking the cup from him. "It's just… Something is wrong. The log pose… it's worrying me."

"Nami-swan! You're so cute when you're worried!" Sanji exclaimed. Becoming serious again (or at least as serious as he can be next to a woman), "you should say whatever it is in front of the rest of the crew. I'm sure they would like to know, and it would save you from having to repeat yourself."

Nami sighed, "Yes, I guess you're right." Her brow furrowed. I hope this isn't really as bad as I think it may be.

"Come on, my beautiful Nami-swan!" Sanji danced. Nami smacked him in the head one good time before heading towards the galley door.

She entered the room, with Sanji behind her, and everyone was already almost halfway through eating. When they walked in, Luffy was in the process of stealing from Zoro, who was smacking Usopp, who had apparently said something stupid to the swordsman. Nami picked up a plate and sat down between Chopper and Robin and started eating.

"Oi," Sanji cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.

"What, love cook?" Zoro grumbled between bites of food.

"Shut up, Marimo," growled Sanji. "Nami-swan needs to talk to us. She's worried about something."

At that, everyone turned to look at Nami, who was slowly eating her food, lost in thought. "Well, Nami?" Luffy asked, his faced stuffed full with food.

"Yes?" Nami, looked up sharply. "Oh. Yeah," she said, figuring out what was going on. "Something is wrong with the log pose. Or at least I hope so."

"What is it?" Franky asked after taking a long swig of cola.

"Well, when we left Fishman Island, two of the three needles started spinning, not settling on anything, and they still are. The third needle was actually pointed towards somewhere, but it was slightly wobbling. Yet now, it seems that as we keep heading in that direction, it gets shakier. I can't steer the ship in another direction, because there is no other direction to go. I'm worried. There might be something wrong on the island that we are headed towards. I'm worried that it might be dangerous, maybe fatally."

When she finished, everyone was silent for a moment, the only noise coming from the chewing of the captain and first mate. "Well," Luffy said around mouthfuls of food, "I'm not worried about it. We can handle everything! This sounds like a great adventure!"

"AHH! But Luffy! What if it's an island made of fire! What if there are monsters! Man-eating monsters!" Usopp cried, which also got Chopper scared and wailing along with him.

"Yohohoho, I would be scared to death, but I'm already dead!" Brook joked nervously.

"Shut up, idiots," Zoro said, smacking both Usopp and Brook on the back of their heads. "We'll be fine, especially considering some of the shit we've already been through. You're both fucking dumbasses."

At that Zoro found himself with a foot being firmly planted in his face. "That is no way to speak when in the presence of beautiful ladies, you shitty swordsman!" Sanji yelled.

"What did you call me?!" Zoro shouted, unsheathing his swords.

Nami then stood and hit both of them on the tops of their heads, leaving two nice red bumps, and effectively ending their fight. "You baka! If you're going to fight, then go outside!"

Luffy, rubbing his round and finally full stomach, laughed alongside Franky and Brook. Robin, however, looked thoughtful, "You know, Zoro is right. We're strong. We should be able to handle most anything. It is curious, though. When we left Fishman Island, we were supposed to have three different routes to choose from, according to my research. Maybe we came out of the water in a different place then from what is usually, and so we are only left with one option. I'm going to look into it and see if I have any books that might can explain this."

"That would be helpful, Robin." Nami said, rubbing her temples.

Finally, the galley began to empty when Usopp said, "Let's go! I bet I can beat you all at poker! I won 500 million beri in one night before against some of the best poker players in the world! Of course, I can't tell you my secret…" His voice faded away as he and Chopper left, the latter staring at him with wide eyes, believing every word.

"I think I'll join them. I'm super at poker!" Franky said, doing his pose before he left the room.

"Yohohoho, wait for me!" Brook added. Robin left, following Brook, saying that she needed to check something in the library.

Zoro, who was seated back at the table now with a bottle of saki in his hand, took a pull from the bottle before setting it back down and saying, "how bad do you think this is really going to be?"

"I thought you weren't worried, moss head," Sanji taunted from behind the counter where he was washing the dishes.

"Guys, stop fighting, this is serious," Nami said, exasperated.

"I don't know what you're so worried about Nami, this is going to be fun! Shishishishi," Luffy said, happily.

"Yes, but you're idea of fun involves fighting and danger, so shut it," Nami snapped.

The kitchen erupted into arguing, taunts, and whining as Zoro insulted Sanji, and Luffy insisted that his idea of fun was, indeed, fun. The noise stopped as the door opened and Robin entered, this time with an old and worn looking book.

"I found this back on Sabaody, while I was perusing the book shops. It's an old journal from centuries ago that was found washed up on an island. I thought that your problem with the log pose sounded familiar. In the journal, this ship has the same problem. The thing is, this journal was written some 500 years ago and there isn't much in it. The majority of it is the crew's time in Fishman Island. I bought it, wanting to see if I could find another book about the strange log pose trouble, but I couldn't find anything. The last things in this journal is that the crew landed on the island, and the writer was left on the ship while the crew found supplies or a city. It just ends, as if the writer died soon after landing. I'm sure it must simply be coincidence, but you can't ever be too sure."

"Oh, Robin-chan, you're so smart!" Sanji cried, finishing up with the dishes.

Luffy, somehow, looked even more excited. "This is great! A mysterious book with a mysterious writer on a mysterious island! I'm going to tell the others!" He said as he went shooting out the door. A few second later, Chopper's and Usopp's terrified cries were heard, as well as Brook's and Franky's laughter.

"Stupid captain…," Zoro muttered under his breath, following Luffy out the door.

"Robin, that actually helps a lot! At least we know that there IS an island that we are heading for and it's not underwater or in the sky," she said, relaxing slightly and heading towards the door. "Would you like to go and take a bath? That's where I'm headed."

"Sure," Robin answered, walking by Nami's side, the journal safely tucked under her arm.

"I want to come!" Sanji yelled, chasing after them with blood gushing from his nose, the last one to leave the galley.

Four days later, the crew was just waking up when Usopp, who was on watch duty, started yelling from the crow's nest.

"LAND! Dead ahead!"

The crew rushed out of their rooms and to the bow of the ship, trying to see the island that they were now approaching. It was only a blur in the distance, but it was there.

"We should reach it by noon!" Nami said. She then shouted, "Did you hear that Usopp?" A faint yes was heard in reply. "We might can find a cove or inlet to drop anchor in. The weather should be fairly good, so I suggest that we try to find a city. But we need to remember that we have no idea what is on this island, so don't go wandering off alone or getting lost." At that last statement, she turned and glared at the swordsman.

"I don't get lost, sea witch!" Zoro growled.

"Yeah, sure," Nami rolled her eyes, as Sanji kicked Zoro, starting their thousandth fight.

"Yohohoho, I have goose bumps," Brook laughed. "That is, I would if I had skin. Yohohoho."

"SANJI! We're going to need food! And lots of meat for exploring!" Luffy yelled.

"Nami?" Chopper said, looking up at the woman. "Are there really going to be monsters on this island?" It was clear that somebody had scared him.

"Chopper, don't worry," Robin answered instead, turning Choppers worried gaze from Nami to herself. "We're going to be fine. Anyways if somebody does get hurt, we have you as our wonderful doctor to patch them back up." Robin smiled sweetly.

"Aw, you bastard!" Chopper said, wiggling and clearly happy. "That doesn't make me happy at all!"

"This is going to be SUPER!" Franky exclaimed, striking a pose.

Noon finally came and the crew had found an inlet to drop anchor in. The inlet was actually the mouth of a large and very deep river, but nobody seemed to want to follow it any further inland. A sense of foreboding had fallen over the crew. They had already sail about a quarter of a kilometer on the river without finding any signs of life and they didn't want to get so far to where they couldn't still see the sea.

The landscape was bleak. It was full of rolling hills and little valleys and there were mountains spotted in the distance. It was very plain, with only a few trees dotting here and there, except for a dense forest that could be seen far off in the distance.

"Let's go!" The captain shouted, bento in hand, as he jumped off the side of the ship. Zoro, Sanji, and Franky quickly joined him.

When everyone was collected on the ground, Nami started speaking. "Look, we all need to stick together. Try not to get separated and don't go off on your own. We don't know what we're going to-"

A distant explosion stopped her.

Everyone looked at the direction from which it came from, somewhere in the direction of where the river flowed from.

More explosions followed.

Then, since they were all silent, they could just barely pick up on the screams.

Thanks for reading! I hope you liked it, even if I did kind of leave it on a cliff hanger. I'm going to try and update this story fairly regularly, so don't worry! In the next chapter I'm going to explain what the explosion was and finally piddle with the Attack on Titan characters. Muahaha. Until next time! 3 Kitt
