I'm back!!! Sorry for not updating sooner and stuff I kinda caught a stomach bug... well two. I got one right after I got better from the first one. I've also had to adapt back to school life and I've got another job now so I'm juggling two jobs, school, and I'm also looking at colleges and shit for next year.

I finished with the Little Blue and Strong World Arc. It goes from about halfway through this chapter to about halfway through Chapter 26. I also have to change the chapters after this because I'm still trying to keep to about 2000 words per chapter. Anything that's after Chapter 26 is still the original stuff but the chapters have been rearranged a bit.

"Okay get her out of here and now." I say and Zoro lands beside us. "You guys get out of here and now." I say and Luffy splits the building in two with the help of his giant axe. I shake my head and go to jump down onto the main deck of Spa Island but Zoro grabs me. He jumps down to the deck of the Sunny and he lets me go. I quickly jump off of the Sunny and into the ocean.

"Hey what are you doing?" Zoro yells at me and I just ignore him as I swim away. I surface on a piece of drift wood and it happens to be beside Doran's piece of drift wood.

"Doran you're dead." I say and I smash him in the side of the head with a kick. Foxy glares at me in anger and I glare back which results in them instantly swimming off in fear. I let out an annoyed sigh and use my curse to change into my usual clothes. I had John put everything in my room and that room's actually something I created with my curse. It doesn't really exist well I guess you could actually say it jumps between dimensions when I want it to. I can even just take certain things out of the room and put certain things in the room. I jump back to the Sunny's guest room and plop down on the bed. Man has this been a tiring day I think and I'm just about to fall asleep when Zoro burst through the door.

"Kaz there you are. We couldn't find you and everyone started panicking cause we thought you might've been left back on Spa Island which is now a huge pile of rubble. Come on you've gotta come up to the main deck with me." Zoro says and I glare at him.

"Too tired; if you want me up on the main deck you'll have to carry me." I say while closing my eyes and Zoro lets out a sigh.

"Fine then." He walks over and gently picks me up. My eyes snap open and I look up at Zoro.

"What are you doing?" I cautiously ask and he looks down at me.

"You told me that if I want you up on the main deck I'll have to carry you there so I'm carrying you there." He explains and I shrug. I did say that so I can't really blame him.

"Okay but lay me down on the main deck in a comfortable spot." I say and after getting a conformation nod I drift off of into a partially awake partially asleep state. I can tell when Zoro sets me down and I move around a bit. "Good choice." I say before fully falling asleep.

I feel my head resting comfortably on something warm and I hear Nami screaming about finding a gem.

"Zoro you get off your butt and search as well." Nami yells.

"I kinda can't at the moment." I hear the swordsman say and it appears that he's the one I'm resting on.

"I don't care move Kaz and help look." Nami yells and I groan.

"Will you shut up? The gem's right there." I point underneath the swing and I can hear Nami rush over in that direction.

"Oh My God it is. How did you find that Kaz? You've been asleep for the whole day and you haven't once opened your eyes." Nami says and I let out a yawn.

"Whatever I'm going back to sleep and Zoro stay still you're still going to be used as my pillow." I say and I hear Zoro chuckle.

"Why are you so tired? We didn't even see you on Spa Island." Chopper says and I hide the smirk that's starting to cover my face. They didn't realize Misa was actually me; that's good.

"I saw Kaz." Luffy says and I open my eyes to give him a small glare. "It was only for a second though and it was near the water slides." Good save Luffy.

"Why didn't you come hang out with us?" Nami asks and Chopper suddenly realizes something. I glare at him and he keeps his mouth shut.

"I had some business to handle." I say and Usopp looks at me.

"What type of business?" Usopp asks being nosy.

"Business;" I say and Usopp leans down towards me.

"Like I said before what type of business?"

"Just because you have a big nose doesn't mean you have to be so nosy." I say and I push him away before storming off. I storm into the guest room and slam the door making sure to lock it behind me. I flop down on the bed and drift off.

Zoro

"Geez what's his problem? I just wanted to know what he was doing since we didn't see him at all. What could be more important than hanging out with us?" Usopp asks as we stare after Kaz.

"I've never seen him act that way before. Luffy do you know why Kaz acted like that?" Robin asks while we turned to Luffy who was facing the sea. Luffy lowers his hat to cover his eyes and he doesn't speak for a while.

"Since I've known him he's had trust issues and that causes him to get defensive when someone tries to get in his business. Even though it's been many years and he's slowly trusting people again there are some things you just can't get rid of." Luffy says I turn back to look at the door Kaz went through. What caused Kaz to have such huge trust issues? I hope he knows that he can trust us. No matter what I'll be there for him and I'll help him through whatever I can. I think I'm going soft, really soft.

I stifle a yawn as I walk onto the deck of the Sunny to find things were quite lively. Luffy, Usopp, and Brook were trying to pull up a fish while Chopper and Sanji cheer them on. Robin and Nami were sitting off to the side while Zoro was training again like usual. I look up towards were Franky was steering the ship while whistling. I spot a dark object moving towards us and I identify it to be a big beetle. I watch the beetle approach us and as it flies over top of us it catches the Elephant Tuna Luffy, Usopp, and Brook just managed to snag.

I watch the beetle fly off before it eats the fish and everyone else starts freaking out. I sense someone watching us and I turn towards the direction to find an island sitting there. I zoom my eyes in and see a little girl in a marine coat and hat sitting on a wooden box looking out towards us with a pair of binoculars. I turn my attention back to the beetle and see it spew fire out at Luffy who manages to send it flying back.

"That beetle just breathed fire." Sanji says and I look over to see Sanji, Chopper, Franky, and Zoro staring up at the beetle.

"Does that bastard plan on burning the Sunny?" Franky asks.

"Luffy; are you alright?" Chopper yells up at Luffy and I look upward to see his eyes shining in excitement.

"I've decided. I'm gonna make him a member of our crew." Luffy yells and I face palm.

"Hey wait a second Luffy." Everyone yells.

"Luffy I don't think that's a good idea plus I have a feeling he won't agree to it." I yell at Luffy who just smiles at me in return.

"I'll get him to join. Now giant beetle..." Luffy turns back to the beetle who was charging at him and Luffy gets knocked off the beam he was standing on. Luffy stretches his arm and quickly grabbed a hold of the beetle. The beetle comes flying back towards the Sunny and the back of Usopp's shirt gets caught on the beetle's horn when it passes through. Usopp gets lifted up into the sky and I hear him scream help me. When the beetle comes flying around again Sanji and Zoro grab onto one of its legs.

"There they go." I say as the beetle flies off towards the island with those four tagging along. I walk over to one of the tanning chairs that have been set up before plopping down and grabbing a book that sat on the table to pass time since I know those idiots will be a bit. I completely zone out until I hear the sound of a transponder snail ringing.

"It's me; Nami you there?" Usopp says.

"Usopp? Yeah I'm here what's up? Did you catch the beetle?" Nami says and I walk over to beside Nami. I can hear some people screaming in the background and I raise an eyebrow.

"Nah, that's not...SHUT UP! Be quiet for a sec will ya? I got it already. Well think you could come over here for a bit?" Usopp says.

"Huh?" Nami says and we exchange a glance.

"There's a village on the other side of the island." Usopp says.

"They really wanna meet you. Kaz you come too." I hear Luffy yell in the background over top of the screams.

"What do you mean 'You'? Call her 'Nami-sama'." Someone says and I don't know who the voice belongs to.

"What the hell?" Nami says.

"Anyway just get over here; please." Usopp says before hanging up.

"Huh? Wait just a minute Usopp. He hung up..." Nami says a bit annoyed.

"Why is it just you two?" Chopper asks.

"Who knows what they're thinking?" I say shaking my head.

"Okay Kaz let's go." Nami says and I follow her below deck to where the waver is sitting. We climb on and head over to the island. I wave at the three who were still located on the deck of the Sunny as we bounced over the waves and I turn my attention back to the island after a bit. As we get closer to the island we have to slow down since there are tons of rocks and other obstacles in our way to reach the island.

"This is the fastest I can go or else we'd be pancakes." Nami says.

"Yeah and I'd prefer not to be a pancake anytime soon." I say.

"Ready and Nami-SAMA!!!" A mixture of voices says and I spot four boys standing on a ledge near an opening that was in the side of the mountain side. "Here we are. This way this way." They call as they all wave

"What's that?" Nami asks glancing back at me and I shrug. We pull up closer to the boys and they get really excited about Nami being there. I tune out there conversation as we pull into the opening which turns out to be part of a cave and I climb off before tying the waver to a nearby rock.

"Hurry and take us to Luffy and the others." Nami says when I stand up and the boys speak at the same time.

"Yes gladly Nami-sama." They say before walking off further into the cave. I use my curse to get a layout of the whole tunnel system and I'm impressed at how many there are. If you didn't know the correct path you'd be stuck here forever. I follow behind the others and after getting bored quickly I decide to do some exploring of the island. I quickly take one of the paths which exit the mountain at one of the highest exit. I feel fresh air brush past my face as I step out into the sunlight to see a village down below that appeared to have many different styled houses.

I gently walk over to the edge of the cliff that was a couple feet ahead of me and gently sit down so my legs were dangling over the edge. I watch as the people in the town below interact and I could easily pick out the crew members as well. It seems that they're enjoying this and I can tell why since the buildings down below appeared to be of different styles from the many islands located in the East Blue. I bet it brings back a lot of happy memories for them I think as I gently place my chin on my palm and a smile slowly makes its way onto my face.

I sense something and look towards the sea where I sensed the disturbance. A green sub slowly rises from the water with the mark of a pirate crew on the front but I do not know of this symbol. I have a bad feeling about this. I quickly stand up and slide down the mountain side even though it's practically vertical. I land softly on the ground right beside the entrance Nami just came out of.
