Kaz

"Time to find the flag before Luffy gets here. If Luffy finds out the flag's been stolen then he's gonna lecture the crew about it and I can't even imagine that true fully. Guess I'll do them a favour and get their flag back." I let out a sigh and start heading towards the flag room. A commotion outside peeks my interest and I peek out of the window to see Luffy there. Guess I better hurry up then. I speed up and slowly open the door to the flag room checking to see if there was anyone in here. Not seeing anyone I fully open the door and walk in.

"Oh there's the flag." I spot the flag attached to the wall right beside the flag of the Phoenix Pirates. I grab both of them and head out of the doorway.

"Kaz!" I hear Chopper yell and I turn around to see Chopper, Jiro, and Puzzle running towards me.

"Oh hey Chopper, Jiro, and Puzzle, I've got the flags." I say holding them out. "Here's yours." I hand Jiro the Phoenix Pirates flag and he opens it to make sure it was correct.

"Thank you." Jiro says giving me a hug and a huge smile.

"No problem Jiro." I say hugging him back before I let him go and start heading away. "We should be getting out of here and I have to get this back to the ship." I hold up our flag and head out again. I head to the closest window and open it. "See you guys later and Chopper don't tell Luffy about the flag being stolen, Okay?" After getting a conformation nod I jump out and start heading towards the Sunny. I spot the rest of the Phoenix Pirates there pulling on rope that's attached to their ship.

"What are you guys doing?" I ask them. With one last heave I see their ship fly towards the shore and they turn to look at me in surprise.

"Those weird penguin things were trying to push our ship out to sea. Ahh they're after your ship now." The shortest one yells and points towards a dark cloud in the water.

"Oh don't worry about that Franky's taking care of them. See ya." I walk off towards the Sunny and just like I figured the penguins suddenly start running away. The Shark sub surfaces and Franky comes out of the cockpit shooting the penguins. I climb onto the Sunny and tie the flag back above the crow's nest.

"Hey Franky I'm gonna take a nap now." I shout down to Franky as he climbs aboard the Sunny.

"How did you get here so fast Kaz? Huh is that our flag?" Franky shouts back.

"Yeah I got it back and just hung it." I shout back.

"Super job. We owe you; why don't you come down here?" He shouts back while doing his Super pose.

"I'm good. I find it most comfortable up here." I shout back before drifting off into sleep.

Zoro

I turn the corner and spot the door to the flag room with Chopper, Jiro, and Puzzle standing there in front of it looking dazed. They were staring at a window that was open and I walked up to them.

"Where's the flag?" I ask Chopper but he just keeps staring at the window.

"Your friend took it and said something about putting it back on the ship." Jiro said and Chopper suddenly snaps out of his daze.

"THAT IDIOT; THIS IS THE THIRD FLOOR AND HE'S STILL INJURED." Chopper screams before turning around and sprinting down the corridor. I stare at him before running after him along with Jiro and Puzzle. We enter a staircase to find the others are running up the stairs and they stop when they spot us running down them.

"Where's the flag?" Usopp asks as they turn around and race down the stairs with us.

"On the way to the ship hopefully;" Chopper says before picking up his pace.

"What do you mean hopefully?" Sanji asks.

"The idiot decided to go out the window to reach the ship so if he didn't break his legs then he should be on the way to the ship." Chopper says and I start thinking. Let's see we have Chopper, Sanji, Usopp, Robin, and I right here. Nami and Luffy are outside while I have no clue where Franky or Kaz was. Who got the flag back then?

"Well let's head back to the ship then to see if the flag's back." Robin says and we run out of the building to find a huge crater. What the hell happened here? Nami starts running towards us and she's screaming about something bad that's about to happen. We pick up our pace and rush towards the Sunny. I spot the Sunny come into view and I let out a relived sigh when I spot the flag back where it belongs. I spot what appears to be a foot on the top of the crow's nest and I let out another sigh. Well I know where Kaz is now and it appears he's safe. We skid to a stop at the edge of the ice and Luffy slides to a stop behind us.

"How could you guys let our flag get stolen?" he asks us.

"What do you mean? It's right there." Robin says pointing towards the flag that was blowing in the wind.

"That stupid clone guy tricked me. Sorry for doubting you guys. Let's go." We board the Sunny and all of a sudden Nami starts to freak out.

"Oh Shit I forgot about Kaz and the volcano's about to explode. What are we going to do?" Nami says leaning against the railing staring back at the golden building.

"What do you mean you forgot about Kaz? Didn't he get out of the pit with us and just split off? Wait isn't he on top of the crow's nest?" I ask concerned for Kaz and confused now since I'm pretty sure I saw Kaz on top of the crow's nest or was that just his boots.

"If you're looking for Kaz he's in his spot sleeping." Franky says pointing up to the crow's nest. "He was also the one who brought back the flag." Franky whispered making sure Luffy couldn't hear him.

"How did Kaz get out of that cage? It took us a Co De Boom to get out of there." Sanji says and we all gain a thinking face.

"Anyway since Kaz is on board we can get out of here and head to Fishman Island." Nami says and with that we set out.

Several Days Later

Kaz

I was awoken with a start by someone poking my check. I punch the person in the face and open one eye to see Luffy now lying on the ground with his leg twitching. This just proves that I should sleep in my spot. Today I had decided to sleep on the main deck instead of on top of the crow's nest and look where that got me.

"What do you want Luffy?" I ask stifling a yawn.

"You still haven't given me that fight you promised." He says sitting up looking at me.

"Fine let's get onto it then." I let out another yawn and stand up dusting off my pants. "Where we gonna fight?"

"Let's do it right here." Luffy says with a huge grin on his face.

"Fine by me; you ready? I'm not going to hold back." I say with an equally huge grin on my face.

"Good I'm not going to hold back either." With that we got ready for the fight. Something blowing up below deck indicated the start of our fight. Luffy starts out by using his Gum-Gum Pistol which I easily dodged and counterattacked him delivering a punch into his stomach which sent him flying. Luffy flies into the main mast and is knocked out.

"That was disappointing." I say before plopping down in the spot I was sleeping in before and I close my eyes.

"You're strong." A voice says from beside me and I jump sky high. I send a glare at Zoro and he lets out a chuckle. "Someone's jumpy."

"I have no damn clue why but you're the only one that can sneak up on me." I say growling at him.

"I didn't sneak up on you, you sat down beside me." He says and I glare at him.

"Arg anyway I'm going to take a nap." I say before getting comfortable and closing my eyes. I hear Zoro shuffle around as well until he's comfortable and I slowly drift off again. A loud explosion jolts me awake and I open my eyes to find a huge red firework in the sky. Those idiots did something stupid again didn't they? I think when I notice something's off and I quickly stand up. I stare off into the distance ahead of us trying to determine what's wrong when I notice the clouds. I quickly rush over to Nami in hopes off warning her.

"Nami..." I trail off suddenly when I see her deep in thought.

"Guys a huge storm is heading our way and we're going to escape south by southwest." She yells running up the stairs and as if on cue a huge storm shows up. "We won't be able to make it." She lets out a stream of curses as she tries to figure out how to get out of here.

"Don't fret the Sunny can handle this." Franky says from where he's steering the ship. "Guys raise the sails we're going into paddle mode." We raise the sails and switch over to paddle mode. In a couple of seconds we are out of the storm and into a dense set of fog.

"You think it's the Florian Triangle?" I ask Nami when she walks up beside me.

"It looks like it, be on your guard." She says while looking ahead in the fog and I keep my senses open for any disturbances.

"What are you guys talking about?" Usopp asks with a scared face.

"A haunted devil's triangle." I say shrugging it off and Usopp starts panicking like crazy. I sense something coming up from behind us on the right side and I quickly rush over to the side to see what I sensed. I spot a huge banged up ship coming up beside us with singing resonating through the air around us.

"A ghost ship," I look at the badly damaged ship as it floats past us and the others except Robin start freaking out.

"Is someone on the ship?" Robin asks and everyone prepares for a fight.

"Look on the deck." Sanji say while lighting his cigarette. We look up and a skeleton is sitting there drinking tea while singing in between. The skeleton stops singing and we just stare at each other. The ship completely passes us and Luffy starts going on and on about investigating it.

"Here draw a stick." Zoro holds out some sticks for the rest of the crew.

"Why do we have to draw? There are tons of people that want to go. Let us stay." Nami, Usopp, and Chopper all say at once.

"Are you sure you want to do that?" Zoro says and starts walking towards Luffy, Robin, Franky, and Sanji.

"Wait don't go." The three cry out while Zoro walks towards the others. Chopper's hanging off of Zoro's sword sheath with Usopp holding onto his midsection and Nami holding onto Usopp's legs. "We'll draw."

"Idiots," I mutter under my breath and head over to the kitchen to grab a drink. I quickly make some Hot chocolate and head over to the Library to do some research. I go through all the books we have and I spread some books out on the center table sorting through them looking for any information on the Florian Triangle. I jolt down every little piece of information I find and by the time I finished going through every book I had out, I barely have a page of information. Most of this stuff just consisted of warning us not to go near it and nothing really valuable. I replaced the books I had and grabbed some more, working through those ones. I kept at it and eventually I was down to the last few when I felt myself starting to slip into sleep. I tried to keep sleep at bay but it was stronger than I thought and I felt myself lose consciousness.
