A/N: Hey, just a short intro then I'll stop bugging you before the end comes :'

So I decided to have a try in Fanfic area, my first fic here (No flaming, please?) and a HUGE THANK YOU to 0Blue-Bird0 for beta-ing this!

The name of this fic will be cleared at some point, do not worry :D

Warnings: ZoroxLuffy as the main pairing, and there will come a girl interrupting things, but still it's ZoLu whole time!

Rated: Teen... blood will be shed but not as much as M and I wont do explicit bc I really cant, so nope.

This takes place after Alabasta and Zoro is already his captain's lover. I really love their relationship described in this fic: s/6629234/1/Encounters so I had them be lovers for a long time :'D (I'm sorry aechfic for advertising your awesome fic without permission ^ ^')

I don't own One Piece, just the additional random characters I made up for this thing.

And this will get eventually complicated to explain later on, so I'm going to upload some pictures I drew to clear things and to give faces to additional random characters. I also really can't impersonate Oda-sensei's original drawing style so they won't be so much looking like it :'DD

This'll probably be somewhat max 10 chapters. Thank you for reading!

CHAPTER I

Luffy was sitting on his special seat and singing his a song he had made up about the idiots on the islands to the North. Just a half hour ago, Nami, had told everyone that the next island would be in sight in an hour. In other words soon it would be in front of them.

"An island!" Usopp shouted from the crow's nest some time after that. "It looks like there is a massive castle!" Luffy stretched his arm upwards as he tried to peek towards 12 o'clock. Usopp had the binoculars. So when he got up, his arm halfway there, Luffy snatched the binoculars from Usopp with his free arm and glanced at the island. It was quite small. The town was bustling with townspeople who looked like ants and the houses were built from stone. There really was a massive castle with its massive walls, and behind it could see only a tip of the green treetops. The wall reached the cliffs all the way to the left (west) side of the island and the sea rolled on the rocks which could barely be seen under the water.

"An island! With a massive castle!" Luffy repeated excitedly while jumping down from the crow's nest to make sure everyone could hear him shouting. Nami came out from the kitchen summoned by Usopp's first scream and she got almost flattened when the younger boy came down with all his rubber body's might. For her luck she managed to avoid her hyper captain, but Sanji, who was following Nami and talking something about an orange-haired, pretty and clever angel who always leads them to the right places, got rolled by the kid. Sanji flew back to the far corner of the kitchen. Chopper left his delicious drink, which Sanji had given him a minute ago, and ran to check if the blond man was alright. Robin lifted her eyes from the book temporarily and then lowered them again, because the island was far away and Cook-san was alright despite the straw hatted boy's collision with him. Zoro came in, lured by the noise and smirked to ero-cook's condition. Usopp came also down slower than his captain, curious about the plan for this island.

"Sanji-kun, how's our food storage?" Nami asked when everyone gathered around the kitchen table.

"Mellorine~! They are as empty as Luffy's head and our water barrels are running short. They should be refilled!" Sanji answered. blinded by Nami's queen-like nature.

"Usopp, what did the island look like?" She knew that asking Luffy wouldn't lead them to anywhere so she turned to the long-nosed boy.

"The buildings were made of stone, there was a castle, and north of the island there seemed to be a forest. There might be a well. I'm positive there is a well in the town but if we need to fill all of our tanks, I'm sure it would be too much to carry, and just a burden in the town." Usopp told truthfully and waved his hands as he spoke. Nami seemed to think a while and she finally shared the tasks.

"Alright, we do this; Luffy, Zoro, Chopper and Robin will go to the town to buy food supplies and everything necessary. You go through the town and we meet at the north side of the island. I, Sanji and Usopp will go around with the ship and Sanji-kun and Usopp will go get the water. Would Robin find out Log Pose's setting time?" She looked at the older female.

"My pleasure Koukaishi-san." Robin smiled her typical smile.

In half an hour Mugiwara pirates' ship left four of their crew on the pier. Luffy was jumping in excitement as he admired the size of the walls, and he was close to falling into the ocean. Zoro took a hold of his captain's collar and pulled the boy up before he touched the water. Chopper, who was in walking point, looked around him and notified the rest of them of something odd.

"All of the inhabitants have black hair."

There was no other soul on the pier besides Strawhats and they had been off the beam lights for now. The crowd near the pier had taken notice of the four guests and they had stopped. None of them knew if the inhabitants had seen a pirate flag on the ship they just had got off, but the crowd seemed to get bigger and bigger. Some even stopped their families to see the sailors.

"What the fuck are they looking at?" Zoro asked and now even Luffy seemed to pay attention to the crowd.

"Don't know, Kenshi-san but we should probably proceed with our journey." Robin reminded them of their mission and begun walking towards the town.

In the town residents retreated from their way and many had some trouble making way for them to move through and staring at them at the same time. The audience was murmuring quietly. A little girl was also staring and making way, but she fell down just in front of Zoro. The swordsman sighed in annoyance and crouched to help the girl up, so that the Mugiwara's could continue their journey. Before Zoro could help the girl, she rushed up so fast Zoro didn't manage to avoid her head bumping to his jaw with a loud crack which probably had hurt them both, and ran away.

The Straw hats, with Zoro on his other knee, watched at this reaction totally dumbfounded.

"What the…?" Zoro blurted out before realizing everyone goggled at his hair colour.

It took entire three and a half hours to go round the towns shops to get the necessary supplies and knowledge in this little town. Luffy, Zoro and Chopper were carrying massive bags on their shoulders and Robin had everything else acquired in her handbag. Luffy had bought a green ball which he was bouncing in his hand. The real reason why shopping tour had taken as long as three-and-a-half hours was because of their hyper captain who had done everything idiotic you can think of doing in the town. That and the inhabitants wondering at Zoro's hair colour. The Swordsman had snapped at both parties more than ten thousand times already.

"Luffy, come back RIGHT NOW or I'll come to kick your sorry ass and I'll have to carry you back to the ship in little bloody pieces!" Zoro shouted at his captain probably for the millionth time. The shopping trip had led them to the west walls and the rubbery boy had gone to investigate wall height to very near of the edge. There were no more people around them due the windy day, and no more disturbing audience to talk about green haired man.

"YAY, will Zoro come play with me?!" Senco asked innocently, not considering to his swordsman's short patience right now. Zoro delegated his pack to the doctor in Mass Point and left to relieve his three and a half hour's stress by chasing his captain down.

Luffy saw Zoro begin the chase and escaped giggling madly. He didn't quite catch why was everyone staring and making way to them, but he certainly did not like the way everyone looked at his lover. Maybe this chase helped Zoro to take his mind off of unnecessary things. He must've been extremely pissed right now.

The raven haired boy had made only five meters away when to the left of him, in the direction of the castle, was the sound of a cannon going off. Luffy barely comprehended what flew towards him as the black ball, size of a football, hit him on his left side and knocked him over the sea.

"LUFFY!" Two horrified voices shouted out.

Nami, Usopp and Sanji had sailed around the island in a fair fifteen minutes and boys had left the ship to get the water. Nami sighed in relief. Now she was in a blissful silence for awhile while the guys were away and she was so behind in her logbook. Better start immediately.

Usopp and Sanji were making headway in the forest in a calm speed. The weather was pretty and they were in no hurry. The shopping group wouldn't come back to the ship for a few hours. Carts were rattling and wood was humming as the cook and the sniper argued.

"Why do I have to pull these wagons?" The black-haired kid complained.

"If one opposes the cook he dies of hunger." The blond answered.

"It's uphill road. Come on! Push the cart!" Usopp kept whining and Sanji kept ignoring his pleas. This continued for awhile until guys felt someone watching them.

Satie is a local child. The days in this island were either boring or scary. Today was a boring one so she went in to the forest for a walk, because it's such a wonderful weather.

She is black-haired, as the others on the island, and short. Satie is always bullied for her height. Early this morning she heard the other children, mostly other girls, talk about it when they thought she was away. Satie didn't feel like going to hang around with them and pretend that she hadn't overheard the conversation, so she left to the forest, to the well inside the forest.

Usually no one was at the well and that's why it's such a good place. The other villagers would rather buy expensive water, which they got from the underground caves. But wasn't it one and the same where you get your drinking water from?

Two years ago when Satie had first found the well it was ramshackled and rotten. Nowadays it is in admirable condition because Satie has spent much time in there, fixing it every now and then.

Usually no one is at the well but today is an exception. Some people were going in that direction.

First she saw a long-nosed boy who had curly black hair and funny looking goggles.

Then Satie saw a god.

The sunlight fell just where god was walking and made his hair glimmer like gold. The God's right eyebrow was elegantly curved and he was wearing a black suit. Satie froze in her place to goggle at him. Never had she had seen hair like his. The god seemed to be debating with the nose man but suddenly they noticed her gaze.

Oh no! She should have stayed hidden! Now she couldn't adore The god anymore! She turned on her heels and begun running away from the god.

"Wait!"

And Satie waited because The God had told her to.

Usopp looked at the child. Her black hair was in a ponytail at the back of her head, and she seven at the most. And short one, alright. And for some random reason she seemed to adore Sanji.

But that doesn't explain why Sanji lets the child ride on the wagons while Usopp is pulling them!

"Oi, Sanji! It is your turn to pull the carts!"

"Is there really a well in this direction?" Sanji asked the girl, ignoring Usopp's demands. She looked at him but turned her gaze down quickly after noticing he had been looking at her.

"Yes. Satie visits the well almost every day." Apparently she spoke of herself in the third person Sanji realized.

"Is your name Satie? What a beautiful name. Excuse my late introduction; my name is Sanji, and the long-nose is named Usopp."

Satie blushed at the compliment. "Satie likes her name too!" She accidentally exclaimed, trying to say it as fast as possible. "No one is usually at the well but there grows loooots of beautiful flowers!" She waved her hands to express the amount of flowers.

"Ooh, what color are they? Why there isn't anyone at the well?" Sanji smiled. She was adorable and the less people the better.

"Purple flowers! And everyone buys their water from the town. Even if the well gives better and cheaper water. The water in the town is from the underground caves so it's more dignified." Satie smiled at her God and turned her gaze again off because God was smiling encouraging at her.

At the same moment they arrived at the well. It was in the middle of an open place in the forest and near the forest border were those purple flowers. Otherwise it was green and the sun shone directly down. Satie jumped down from the wagons and ran to the flowers picking them up at the same time Usopp and Sanji went lifting the water up. The barrels were almost full with water when Satie came to the well her lap full of purple flowers.

"To God—Sanji!" Satie handed her arms toward Sanji. He looked a bit surprised because of the word she used, but he didn't let the surprise be seen on his face. Satie probably hadn't meant to blurt it out since she was so shy, so he smiled at the little girl.

"Thank you! Would you mind holding onto them tight because we're getting back to the ship and in there I have a beautiful vase that looks like it was made for them! We can put them to the kitchen table."

Satie seemed to burst with happiness because her God had accepted her flowers. Satie also wanted to see where God lived.

The trip to the ship didn't take much time for everyone had got on the wagons on the top of the barrels (Satie in Sanji's lap holding tightly the flowers) and slide downhill right to the ship. Sanji passed Satie to Usopp and jumped in front of the carts to stop their movement. As Satie adored Gods powers, Sanji shouted to Nami-san about their comeback while unloading the wagons.

Nami was just about to have the map of Alabasta ready when she heard Sanji. She sighed knowing she would have to finish the map later. When she stepped out on the deck she noticed a little girl with a lap full of flowers with thw guys.

"Sanji-kun what's with the child?"

"Ah, Mellorine~ She is from the village! She picked flowers for me!" Sanji turned to face his turned also, and saw an angel too.

Nami wondered a little as the girl dropped almost all of her flowers upon seeing her and bowed quickly to pick them up.

"Alright boys, lift the barrels in the ship!" Nami encouraged as she dropped the ladder to help with the task. Usopp unpacked the wagons as Sanji asked Satie if she wanted to hop on the ship. She wanted to and Sanji lifted the little girl with her flowers to the ship.

"Nami-swan, you mind giving Satie a vase for the flowers? They would look amazing on the kitchen table, right? Vases are in the lower left cupboard." Sanji said.

"Alright. Beautiful flowers." Nami admitted and bend over Satie. "Hey there Satie I am Nami. Have you ever been on a real ship before?"

"O-only boats. They seldomly come around and I'm not allowed on them." Satie had to tighten her grip of the flowers to stop them from falling. When walking to the second floor she smiled. This day wasn't either scary or boring. It was wondrous.

An hour after docking Merry-gou in the pier the castle was in a hustle.

Pirates? In here? The skull mark was of the Mugiwara Pirates. Captain: Monkey D. Luffy, 30 million berry. Biggest bounty in East blue.

The captain himself and three of his crew are in the town. It would take 24 hours for the Log pose to set.

From the castle was a clear view to the town. High above the ground was the King's tower. His room was beautiful and the sunshine shone through purple curtains in the room where the man with the crown and the title of a King browsed the town.

The King followed concerned the pirates' path which was pretty visible due to people making way to them and the swordsman's green hair. He wonder if it was coloured?

But the King's concern was mostly with his own safety.

What if the Mugiwara pirates attacked the town? The King would send his men out.

What if the Mugiwara pirates fired at them from their ship? The King would send his men out.

What if the Mugiwara pirates attacked the castle and threatened HIS life? He would abandon his men as a decoys and make a run for it.

The King followed the pirate's path, concerned.

In three-and-a-half-hours the pirated were walking on the wall of the castle.

They are breaking in to the castle! The King thought. panicked.

"Shoot them! Shoot them with a cannon!" Soldiers looked first surprised. The pirates hadn't done anything wrong yet, mostly shopping, so why shoot?

The King glanced at them. Why weren't they shooting them already? "What's taking you so long? SHOOT!"

The soldiers made a hasty salute and left to their positions as quickly as possible. The King shouldn't be disobeyed.

The wall's location was near the lowest cannons. Soldiers prepared artillery weapon in thirty seconds and set off a warning shot just in front of the Mugiwara captain.

It was a shame that the little captain sprinted away from that amazing green-haired man just when the fuse was almost burned to the end and just in front of the barrel, just in the line of fire.

The black ball size of a football hit the little captain on his left side and knocked him over the sea.

The soldiers watched terrified as the raven-haired boy hit the water surface.

The King watched elated as the raven-haired boy hit the water surface.

Luffy's name didn't get to die on Zoro's lips as he charged after his captain to the roaring sea. Dark, salty water hit him hard and coldness stiffened his body. Not caring about distractions, he forced his eyes open to see even a glimpse of the boy's red vest. There had been a sneak attack, yes, but the kid had shaken the cannon off, meaning he hadn't fallen that far from the wall. Zoro would catch him for sure, like how he had caught him a billion times before.

The cannon had seemed to hit Luffy in the lungs and knock the breath out of him. As he rebounded off of the bullet's unexpected lift he hadn't got back the lost air, and he hadn't been able to see properly in front of him because of the loss of oxygen. The water had come to him too soon, too cold. The sea welcomed him with open arms. Luffy lost his consciousness after a few attempts to breath water instead of air.

Chopper was already trying to jump after Luffy and Zoro when Robin prevented him with her extra arms. Before the doctor could ask her why she had stopped him, Robin presented the reason to him.

"Kenshi-san would have to rescue Doctor-san in addition to Sencho-san. I'm sure he wouldn't be able to do that." The hard truth hit Chopper and he leaned against wall to see the first glimpse of the green and black hair which were sure to come anytime.

But no matter how much the little reindeer waited, those heads showed no sign of surfacing.
