A/N: A set of random fics about weird topics.

1-Tribute

They had boarded the Straw-Hats' ship, Sunny-go, 15 minutes ago and since then everything had gone to hell.

They had been severely beaten by three pissed off pirates before being punted off the ship. 'Cyborg' Franky, 'Dead Bones' Brook and 'Straw-Hat' Luffy had looked like they were making an announcement when they had boarded but they didn't hear anything other than "We formed a Band." Before they were all beaten, bruised and chucked in the water only to see the Sunny-go rocket into the distance with a shout of

"COUP DE BURST!"

Straw-Hat POV

Franky, Brook and Luffy had disappeared into the cabin after their announcement and had emerged carrying 3 mics, a speaker, a keyboard, a guitar and a full drum kit. The rest of the crew were not aware that they even had a guitar, let alone the drum kit, 3 mics, a speaker and a keyboard that Franky and Brook were setting up on the lawn. Where had they been keeping all this? Did Brook bring it onboard after his final 'Soul King' concert?

Their musings were brought abruptly to a halt and they were all surprised when Luffy expertly fingered the strings on the guitar, since when could Luffy play an instrument? Hell, since when could he hold a tune?! Then when Brook began by picking out a gently melody on the keyboard and Franky beat a steady rhythm on the drums, whispers were echoed across the deck, when had they had time to practice, they were so in sync.

They stopped whispering when Luffy began to sing (with Brook and Franky as his back-ups), surprisingly he was not tone deaf and could actually sing quite well, which raised the question of why he hadn't sung like this before.

"I am the shadow, and the smoke in your eyes, I am the ghost, that hides in the night"

"Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!

Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!

Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!

Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!" Franky and Brook chorused.

"Wait, wait a minute take a step back

you gotta think twice before you react

so stay, stay a little while

because the promise I kept is the road to exile

HEY! whats the circumstance you'll never be great without taking a chance so

wait, you waited too long

had your hands in your pocket

when you shoulda been gone~"

"Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!"

"One push is all you'll need"

"Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!"

"Fist first philosophy"

"Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!"

"We watch with wounded eyes"

"Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!"

"So I hope you recognize

Out on the front line

dont worry I'll be fine

the story is just beginning

I say goodbye to my weakness

so long to the regret

and now I see the world through diamond eyes.~"

"DAMN! damn it all down

took one to the chest without even a sound so

WHAT! what are you worth

the things you love or the people you hurt

HEY! it's like deja vu

a suicidal maniac with nothing to lose

so wait, it's the exception to the rule

every one of us in EXPENDABLE~."

"Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!"

"One push is all you'll need"

"Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!"

"Fist first a philosophy"

"Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!"

"We watch with wounded eyes"

"Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!"

"So I hope you recognize

Out on the front line

don't worry I'll be fine

the story is just beginning

I say goodbye to my weakness

so long to the regret and now I know that I'm alive

Out on the front line

don't worry I'll be fine

the story is just beginning

I say goodbye to my weakness

so long to the regret and now I see the world through diamond eyes~."

"Every night of my life

I watch angels fall from the sky

Every time that the sun still sets

I pray they don't take mine~."

[ Luffy's Guitar Solo]

"I'm on the front line

don't worry I'll be fine

the story is just beginning

I say goodbye to my weakness

so long to regrets~."

"Out on the front line

don't worry I'll be fine

the story is just beginning

I say goodbye to my weakness

so long to the regrets and now I know that I'm alive~."

"Out on the front line

don't worry I'll be fine

the story is just beginning

I say goodbye to my weakness

so long to the regret and now I see the world through diamond eyes

Out on the front line

don't worry I'll be fine

the story is just beginning

I say goodbye to my weakness

so long to the regrets and now I know that I'm alive

Out on the front line

don't worry I'll be fine

the story is just beginning

I say goodbye to my weakness

so long to the regret and now I see the world through diamond eyes~."

"Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM! Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM! Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM! Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM! Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM! Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM! Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM! Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM~!"

The crew Straw-Hats stood in silence as the final chord echoed around them, all they could think of was Marineford and Ace. But as they saw their happy-go-lucky Captain grinning at them, they realised that this was his way of remembering, a tribute song, and they smiled and cheered and clapped for the weird band, the song and for the one who wasn't here to hear it.

END

A/N: I really suggest listening to this song, it's (Shinedown - Diamond Eyes.) PLEASE REVIEW!
