One Piece: The Tale of the Third Eye

Insider2000

MASSIVE SPOILERS ARE CONTAINED FROM HERE ON OUT

Please note that this story was made to follow the era that everyone who was once in Impel Down is still in Impel Down, CP9 is still unconfirmed to be dead or alive, and that Gallery La does not have a new secretary

This entire beginning post will keep character and crew updates. Right now, it will be left like this, but eventually, it will keep tabs of the actual characters for this fan-fic, those originally made and those made by Oda.

Characters:

Summer
Age: 20
Fruit: Agua Agua Fruit
Powers: Gives the ability to transform into different kinds of aquatic creatures. The only one Summer has found so far is a mermaid form, that turns her into a Tiger Shark mermaid.
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Hazel
Summary: A lazy girl caught in her sister's mission. Summer is usually clueless, but when things interest her, she seems to know more than most. She now has a bounty on her head, but she doesn't seem to care. Her ultimate goal is to find her place in this world.

Luna
Age: 22
Skills: ???
Powers: ???
Hair: Purple
Eyes: Green
Summary: A guile female on a constant dream. She acts like she knows everything, and oddly seems to really do. She has kept her true emotions and powers a secret. It won't be long until everything is fought out of her. What is it she wants from Kaku? How did she get Bon Clay and Ace out of Impel Down? How does she have so many connections when she doesn't even travel far?

Paulie
Summary: Everyone's favorite roping wielding Gallery-La member. After getting mixed up with Summer, he has been forced into this adventure. Due to the fact that Paulie has been seen with Ace, Luna, and Kaku (all three having bounties on their heads), he too has a bounty on his head now. His ultimate goal is to clear his name, and be able to return to the Gallery-La crew.

Ace
Summay: After being rescued by Luna, Ace has sworn to help Luna reach the Straw Hats. Why she wants to get to the crew? He doesn't even know. The only reason Ace stays with the crew is to help Luna. Otherwise, he'd be rushing off to either Blackbeard or Whitebeard. Will he keep a closer connection to his new temporary crew?

Kaku
Summary: A bounty has been placed on Kaku's head. After the marines searched the remains of Enies Lobby, Kaku's remains were not found. However, Spandam (who at the time of the search was still recovering from Robin's clutch) gave the word that Kaku had helped the Straw Hats save Nico Robin, and escape the island before it blew up. Spandam, with his rank showing his word, was able to set the rumor true. Kaku is now under arrest for treason, the one crime that could possibly lead to a bounty as high as 210 million beli.

Episode 1: Divided
House in Water7

"Crap!" Summer searched through her closet. "Luna! Where's my pants!"

Luna took a sip of her coffee, and answered without movement. "Under your bed." Summer drove under her bed. "HA! Found them…" Summer checked her pockets. "WHERE'S MY WALLET!"

Luna pointed to the TV. "On top of the TV." Summer snatched it, and froze. "Where's the…" Luna interrupted her. "You're keys are in your hands." Summer checked. "Riiiiiiight. Well, I'm off to work! Be sure to buy groceries today, sis! I have a feeling today is going to be a great day at work!" Summer closed the door behind her.

At that second, Luna stood up. "Alright, she's gone." Luna slowly walked towards a train ticket on the kitchen table. "There's no turning back now." She held it close. "It's the only way to save them."

6 hours later

"Luna is going to be so pissed. I can't believe I got fired! Just because I screamed at a customer. IT'S NOT MY FAULT SHE WOULDN'T MOVE HER OLD, FARTY ASS!" Summer held her purse close to her. "I'll just tell Luna the store was set on fire. That'll work." Summer marched in complete happiness, which swiftly led to a walk of fear the second she reached her house. Her keys shook as she unlocked her house door. "Luna. I'm home!" She looked around. "Luna?"

She walked around. Stopped at two portraits. A portrait with a picture of Summer and their father, and another with a picture of Luna and their mother. "Things changed when you two broke apart of friendship. I don't know if Luna and I will ever have the friendship we once had." A large piece of paper on the refrigerator caught Summer's eye.

"Summer,
I'm going away for a little while. I know times are rough for us. We're struggling to not use Mom and Dad's money. However, I have a plan. I need you to trust me. You are my favorite sister. 'I'm your only sister you dork!' Remember when we used to play that joke on each other? Well, anyway. I promise I'll be back. Things are going to be different for us.
Your favorite sister,
Luna."

Summer smiled. "Your my only sister you dork." Summer sat down. Luna did this often. She ran off, doing some sort of job. She'd come back with money. Summer knew she would see her in about a month. "Well, at least she won't have to find out about my job." Summer could hear people shouting from outside. "What's going on?"

Summer rushed outside. Summer's neighbor rushed to her. "Have you heard! Iceburg's been shot!"

Insider2000

Episode 2: Into the Light

Summer stared at her neighbor for a long time. "Who's Iceburg?" The neighbor's jaw dropped to the floor. "You…YOU DON'T KNOW WHO ICEBURG IS?"

Summer picked her ear with her finger. "Why should I give a damn who he is? Does he give me money? Does he come every day to my house to feed me? No."

"He's the mayor of town you dope!" Summer flicked a piece of earwax almost into her neighbors face. "Don't care. Look, I've got soap operas to watch. You let me know when something bigger happens." Summer slammed the door behind her as she stepped back inside. "Like I said, if he doesn't give me food or money, why should I care who he is?" Summer leaped onto the couch. "Since I don't have a job now and all this rioting is going on, I have at least a week of sleep and TV watching. How lovely...." Summer pulled up the remote control, and turned on the TV.

Few Days

Summer slowly pulled a pillow off her face. "Ugh, I ate too much cake last night." She slowly got up. The TV was left on, only showing static. She looked around, the house was filthy. Food on the floor, couch pillows and blankets thrown everywhere, dirty laundry being used as a footrest. "I should take a walk outside. Just to walk this cake off, and clear my mind." She opened the door. The sun flashed into her eyes, and she hissed in agony.

She walked around the bright, and colorful streets of Water7. "Why did we move here? Everyone here is such a jackass." Summer saw a crowd of people in the corner of her eye. "Let me guess, another gathering of idiots. GOD!...Yeah you! UP THERE! God, if you let me get away from these baffoons and live a life where I can do whatever I want whenever I want, I'll....I'll buy you pizza!....What am I saying. You don't even like pizza, do you?" Summer kept staring into the crowd of people. "Just show me a light, point me in the direction I need to go." Summer looked towards the sky, but then turned her head when she noticed something in the corner of her eye.

"OH MY GOD!" Summer covered her mouth in horror. A strange, creepy voice could be heard from afar. "What kind of man is that who, even naked, faces straight the countless waves as it would be a lion!" Summer covered her eyes.

"THE LIGHT! IT BURNS!!!" People screamed along with her. After a short silence, Summer could hear from afar. "Dos fleur!" Summer opened her eyes. Wait....what's going on with his...

"Grab!"

Episode 3: "Re-Awakening"
Water7 Hospital

Summer slowly opened her eyes. "What….what happened?" A nearby doctor walked towards her. "Oh! You're awake. You were found unconcious in the middle of the town, and everyone grew quite worried. You've been in a coma for quite some time."

Summer clutched her head. "The last thing I remember was...seeing this man without pants...and then two hands coming out and...."

Water7 Hospital

Summer slowly opened her eyes. "What....didn't I already wake up?" The same doctor sat next to her. "When you thought about what you saw, you passed out again. You were in a coma for about half as long as last time." Summer pulled her blanket off. "Whatever, I'm going home."

Water7 Streets

Summer craddled herself as she walked home. "I'm sure Luna is home by now. She's going to kill me. I don't have a job. The house is a mess. I fell into a coma TWICE." A piece of paper slammed into her face. "WHAT THE...crap?" She took a good look at the paper.

"Now accepting jobs at Gallery-La. New secretary needed."

Summer opened the door to her house. "Luna. I know you're going to be pissed, but I think I found what might be my next job!" Summer looked around. "Luna?" There house was clean, as if Luna had been there. "Luna?" Summer could see note on the fridge. "Seek out Paulie." Summer stared at the paper for a while. "Paulie? Who's Paulie?"

Gallery-La Headquarters

Summer walked through a crowd of women. The girls were all screaming, "ICEBURG!" Cheering and swooning. "MOVE!" Summer started pushing and beating girls that got in her way. A girl started to strangle Summer. "YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM! HE'S MINE!" Summer punched her off. "I don't give a damn!"

Lulu and Tilestone could see from afar. "That girl knocking half of those girls out with a single punch." Tilestone stared in awe. "SHE'S A BEAST!" Lulu called out into the crowd. "You there! With the blonde hair?"

Summer looked up. "Me?" Lulu pulled her out of the crowd. "You got some guts....Ms......."

"Summer...Summer Triad."

Episode 4: "Who's Paulie?"

Gallery-La Headquarters

Summer sat in the interview chair with her legs slightly open. Paulie shouted, "Close your legs! You're wearing a skirt for God's sake." Summer looked towards Paulie. "Bite me, dude."

Lulu looked through her resume. "Have you….ever been part of..." Tilestone interupted, "A SECRET MARINE ORGANIZATION!" Paulie and Lulu screamed at Tilestone, "IDIOT! SHUT UP!" Summer raised her eyebrow. "Um. No I haven't." "Have you ever once in your life..." "HAD EITHER A RECTANGULAR NOSE OR A PIGEON THAT TALKS FOR YOU!" Paulie and Lulu punch and knock Tilestone out.

Paulie took out a new cigar and lit it. Summer looks towards him. "Is it possible for someone to have a rectangular nose?" Paulie took a deep smoke. "Don't worry about it." Paulie took the resume from Lulu's hands. "The name's Paulie."

Summer froze, and tried to think hard. After a short time, her brain fried. "Nope, that name doesn't ring a bell." She didn't even notice that the note saying "Seek Paulie" was in her back pocket. Paulie breathed smoke into the resume. "Look kid. You don't have anything that could let you be Iceburg's secretary for even a DAY!"

Summer tilted her head. "This is to Icecube's secretary." Lulu corrected her, "Iceburg". "What did I say?" "Icecube." "Whatever."

"Yeah, didn't you hear all those girls outside screaming for him?" Summer smacked her forehead. "OH! You mean this to be the secretary for the mayor of town?" Paulie and Lulu nodded their head. "CRAP! I don't want that job piece of crap job!" Paulie and Lulu gawked.

"DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY WOULD WANT THAT JOB! EVEN MEN WOULD KILL FOR THAT JOB!" Summer shrugged. "I thought this was for a secretary job for the Gallery-La workers." The men all stared in shock, then turned away from her.

Paulie whispered. "She wants to be a secretary for US?" Lulu pushed a piece of hair he had standing up down. A piece of Summer's hair suddenly stood up. Lulu whispered back. "We should ask Iceburg about this." Paulie nearly shouted. "Forget asking Iceburg! We'll hire her ourselves. She'll keep track of all the crap we have to build day-in and day-out." Summer pushed her standing hair down. Lulu's mustache nearly shot out and stabbed Paulie in the eye. "Okay, let's hire her."

Paulie turned towards Summer. "Kid! You're hired!"

Episode 5: "The Clueless One"

Lulu continued with Summer's review. "What is the name of our boss?" "Igloo?" "Warm." "Ice Cream?" "Warmer." "Icebox?" Tilestone started to cheer her on. "YOU'RE ON FIRE!" Summer took a deep breath. "Iceburg?"

"SHE GOT IT!" Lulu and Tilestone laughed in happiness. Paulie shouted from afar. "Would you morons shut up? WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO!" Summer looked towards Paulie. "Relax, Philip. Lili and Tombstone are just having fun."

Paulie gave a blank stare. "You really are bad with names…." Summer opened up a small booklet. "We only have two ships left to check up on today. We're almost done for today." Summer closed the book, and helped a crew member lift a plank of wood.

Summer had been working for a few weeks at Gallery-La. She still hadn't met Iceburg, but she didn't care. She noticed something strange about herself. Most of the jobs she was fired from, she was fired due to her laziness. Yet here, she has no issue helping a bunch of shipwrights. She stared at the different crew members. One screamed at the other, "Hey, jackass. Watch where you're carrying that thing" as he had almost got hit the face. The one carrying it responded, "Maybe you should watch where you show your ugly face!" The two proceeded to fight until both were knocked out by Tilestone.

"They're so harsh to each other. They see each other everyday, treat each other like crud, and still call each other family. Why aren't all people like this?" Paulie suddenly tripped while carrying a massive crate, which fell on his head when he landed. Summer shouted. "Pedro, are you okay?" Paulie said in a raspy and tired voice, "It's....Pau....lie...."

Secret Location

Luna sat quietly in front of her clients. She shuffled through a few beli she had previously earned from another client. One of the clients spoke, "How much would it be to do a very dangerous job for us?" Luna looked towards her clients. "That depends. This is going to be the last job I'll ever do. I'm retiring after this."

The clients all looked at each other, scared of the words that they are about to speak. One of the clients decides to interrupt with small talk. The man adjusted his sun glasses, looking at a wounded man in a bed. "Who's that over there?"

Luna looked behind her, and spoke. "He's been in a coma for a while now. His wounds have fully healed, but he hasn't snapped out of it yet. I've taken him with me where ever I go." Luna slammed the pile of beli she had in her hands onto the table. "As nice as it is to see that you are worried about someone I hold very dear, I care much more about the job at hand. Cough up the info."

The three clients all shivered in fear. One decided to speak. "Have you ever heard of Impel Down?" Luna smiled. "Heard of it? I've had clients end up in there on their own mistakes. What does Impel Down have to do with anything?"

"We want you to break someone out."

Episode 6: "Goddess of the Sea"

Water7 Coast

Summer, Paulie, Lulu, Tilestone all sit together. Lulu screams in joy. "YEAH! We have no work today! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Summer looks at all four. "Shouldn't you guys being doing something fun for yourselves?" All three look to the ground in sorrow.

Lulu spoke first. "I don't know what I feel like doing." Then Tilestone. "BORED!" Then Paulie. "Kinda trying to keep myself from gambling." Summer looked at them all. "Wow. You guys really are THAT bored." Paulie looked up. "If gambling would win my millions of beli, then you wouldn't see me here now would you?" Summer stood up.

"To be honest. I've been bored too." Summer started taking off her shirt. Lulu and Tilestone exploded with nose bleed. Paulie screamed, "Infamous woman! How could you do that in front of three other men!?!"

Summer shrugged. "Meh. I'm wearing a bikini underneath. You guys are my co-workers, anyway." Paulie rasied his eyebrow in confusion. "That gives us permission to see you almost naked?" Summer dropped her pants. Tilestone and Lulu got up. "THONG!" Both fell back again with blood splattering everywhere.

Paulie stood up. "What the hell? Everyday, you wore the most classy clothes. Where is this coming from?" Summer looked towards Paulie. "You call jeans, a T-Shirt, and baseball hat classy? I wear that to not get my good clothes dirty." Summer dipped her foot in the water. "Guys. If I show you something, you promise not to freak out."

Tilestone and Lulu started humming in anticipation. "WOMAN! DO NOT TAKE OFF ANYMORE OF YOUR CLOTHES." Summer jumped. "Are you kidding me? I have SOME decency." Tilestone and Lulu turned around to cry. Summer climbed on top of a massive rock. As she ran up the rock, she shouted, "Mermaid Point!"

The three men stared in amazement. Before she fell into the ocean, he legs slowly turned into a mermaid fin. She landed in the water, and swam about. "Is she…A MERMAID?" Lulu couldn't believe we he saw. Paulie shrugged. "So she's a mermaid. Big deal, we have someone else who is a mermaid too." Tilestone screamed, "BUT NOT ANYONE WHO LOOKS LIKE HER!"

"Are you saying that you care more about a mermaid who is attractive than any other mermaid at all?" All three turned around, and shouted at the sight of Kokoro. Chimney stood next to her eating cookies with Gonbe by her side. "That girl is no mermaid." Summer shot up into the air, and drove by into the ocean. "What you see here is the worlds only Devil Fruit, that grants a human being some of the greatest swimming skills known to merman or mermaid." Paulie took out another cigar. "You mean to tell me, she's actually using a Zoan type Devil Fruit to become a mermaid?"

Summer leaped out of the ocean, "Human Point!" She landed on solid ground. Kokoro spoke even with her there. "When she is in human form, she is a hammer. But otherwise, she can swim better than any human being." Chimney looked up towards Kokoro. "Wait. We're talking about the Agua Agua Fruit right? Can't she turn into other stuff too?" Summer walked into the conversation. "HEY! None of you guys are watching!"

Insider2000

Episode 7: Shift in Pace

Kokoro laughed. "Consider yourself lucky girl, you have one of the most fortunate Devil Fruits in the world!" Summer scratched her head. "Devil Fruit? What's that?" Chimney took a massive bite from her cookie, and spoke once again with her mouth open. "What are you, stupid? A Devil Fruit is a Fruit you eat that gives you a special ability, however it also makes you forget how to swim."

Summer's eyes widened. "That explains it. Why I can't swim when I'm a human, but when I'm a mermaid…. When I first found these powers, I was drowning in my father's pool. It was weird, I knew how to swim, but suddenly couldn't swim. Then, I thought to myself, 'God, please let me turn into a fish so I can swim away'. Which, thinking about becoming a fish turned me into a mermaid." Summer slowly put her clothes back on. "I eventually learned how to control it, but I haven't found any other forms I can turn into."

Kokoro smiled. "Girl. Did you eat a strange fruit before you went swimming?" Summer thought for a second. "No. I don't remember eating anything. I never eat fruit. Too nasty. ACTUALLY! There was this one time Luna woke me up by...." Summer's jaw dropped. "Luna woke me up, and forced me to eat a piece of fruit........" Summer nodded her head. "That could be it. That would be crazy. Why would my sister force me to have these powers!" Summer's reasoning didn't work for her. She started to shiver in fear. "I wanna go home."

Kokoro froze, as she could see the very opposite of herself. A girl of overwhelming beauty, with dark secrets under her skin. Summer fell to the floor. "It can't be true. Luna wouldn't...." Immediately, a man rushed towards the bunch. "HEY! You're Summer, right?" Summer looked up, and nodded. "Someone broke into your house!" Summer jumped from the floor. "MY FATHER'S MONEY!" She ran in high speed to her house.

She slammed the door open. Everything was in a mess, a mess that she did not form herself. She rushed towards a safe hidden behind Luna's bookshelf. Luna and Summer needed a place to hide the money for their dead father. "It was the perfect hiding place. No could ever find it! HOW! HOW!" Summer started crying on the floor. "Summer!" Paulie walked towards Summer with a note she found on the fridge.

"Meet me at the shore tomorrow morning."

Summer ripped the paper apart. "Guys. I need all of you to go home. I have a long night ahead of me." Lulu picked Summer up. "HEY! What are you doing! STOP IT!" Lulu stared at her with his sunglasses. "You really think we're going to leave you here by yourself?"

Paulie walked right behind Lulu, along with Tilestone. "Do you really think we are going to leave you here, so that way the person who robbed your house can come back? I don't think so. Tomorrow, we're going with you." Summer kicked and screamed. "I don't need your help! LEAVE ME ALONE!"

Tilestone cracked his knuckles. "ANYONE WHO MESSES WITH ONE OF US, MESSES WITH ALL OF US!" Summer stopped struggling. She thought to herself, 'Why weren't you like this, Dad?'

Episode 7: The Protector, the Second Member.

Next Morning, Gallery La Headquarters

Summer and the gang started rushing out of the building. Once she stepped outside, she noticed several shouts coming from the rest of the crew. "Crap. The crew is having issues with the customers."

Pirates were next to the crew members working on their ships. Screaming in their ears, "CAN'T YOU WORK FASTER?"

"What pricks." Summer sighed in disappointment. "It's fine guys. You guys stay here and deal with them, I'll go myself. I'll be fine." Summer rushed off, only to be grabbed by the arm by Paulie. "The hell you are!" Lulu readied a sword at one hand and a hammer in the other. "Tilestone and I will take care of what's going on here. Paulie, protect Summer." Paulie nodded, and pulled Summer along with him. Tilestone didn't keep his eyes off Paulie and Summer. "THINK WE'LL SEE THEM AGAIN?" Lulu puched Tilestone over the head. "Of course, you idiot. It's not like Paulie won't be able to handle it."

Water7 Shore

Paulie and Summer walked down the coast, searching for anyone. Summer felt chills up her spine. "I don't know what I would do without the money, Paulie." Paulie's cigar fell out of his mouth. "YOU REMEMBERED MY NAME!" Summer looked in confusion, but then exploded with happiness. "I DID!" The two then went back to their hunt. "You know, now that I think about it, Luna DID send me a note before. It said, 'Seek out Pau….' YOU'RE PAULIE!"

Paulie smacked his forehead. "You know, I'm glad you remember my name, but honestly....You already knew that." Summer reached into her pocket, and pulled out the same note. Paulie took it, and read it. "This is from Luna?" Paulie stared at it for a little while. "The handwriting on this one looks exactly like the one that sent us to shore."

Summer stopped walking, then gave Paulie a cold stare. "Are you suggesting my sister is doing this? That she is sending me on a wild goose chase? I haven't seen her months! If you're gonna be an asshole Paulie, then leave now." Paulie crossed his arms, and gave a colder look. "You don't get it, do you? You are apart of Gallery La, so you are more important to us than any stupid bimbo, including your sister. If she were apart of us, then she'd be important. But understand, my ultimate goal is your protection. Not as a friend, but as family."

Summer slowly cooled. "I'm sorry. I'm mad at my sister too. And if she DID do this, then why does she have us out here?" Someone suddenly grabbed Summer's foot. Summer screamed and jumped away. Both checked the body on the floor, which was slowly waking up. The massive tattoo off Whitebeard covered his back.

Episode 8: The Return of Fire Fist Ace

The man slowly got up. “Where….where am I?” Summer tried to jump him, but Paulie held her back. “HEY! YOU!” The man looked towards Summer. “WHERE’S MY SISTER!” Paulie was struggling to keep her calm. “Summer, how do you know that’s him?” The man rubbed his eyes. “I’m sorry, I don’t know anything about a sister. The name’s Ace. I’m of the Whitebeard Pirates.”

Paulie dropped his cigar. “You mean….you’re THE Fire Fist Ace!” “I don’t care if he is a hunky, shirtless guy that would make me jealous of Luna if he had touched her!” “Summer. Too much information.” Ace looked around. “Where am I? This isn’t Impel Down.” Summer scratched her head. “What’s Impel Down?” Summer waited for a response from Paulie. “Paulie?” She looked towards him. His nose was dripping from the shock. “You….YOU BROKE OUT OF IMPEL DOWN!”

Ace jumped. “No! Not even I have that skill. But, I was in a cell not too long ago.” Paulie stomped all over the beach sand. “THERE’S NO WAY IN HELL! NO ONE GETS OUT OF IMPEL DOWN ALIVE!” Ace scratched his head. “The last thing I remember was waking up for a short time. I saw this girl with purple hair, and passed out thinking I was hallucinating.” Summer suddenly snapped into the conversation. “Girl with purple hair? It couldn’t be. Luna would have the skill to break someone out of an unlocked cell, let alone a massive prison that Paulie seems to be going ‘ga-ga’ over.”

Ace smiled. “You said your name was Summer right? I have one last, important question for you. Do you have any food?” Paulie responded before Summer could. “ABSOLUTELY NO~” Summer pushed him down. “Okay.” “WHAT!?! Do you know how dangerous he could be?” Summer laughed. “Well, my sister must have broken him out of Impel Down for a reason.” “So suddenly you believe that she DID break him out?” “Who else fits the description of a purple haired girl? Purpled haired girls would be as rare as….I DON’T KNOW, a skeleton with an afro.” Summer turned, and started walking towards her house. “Come on, boys. Dinner is waiting.” Paulie slowly walked behind her, pouting. He gave a quick look towards Ace. “I don’t trust you.” Ace shrugged, and put his hands in his pockets as he examined the city.

Summer readied her keys. “Okay, we’re here.” Ace started drooling from the mouth. “THANK GOD! I HAVEN’T EATEN IN SO LONG! I wonder what I’ll eat!” “You’re talking to one of the biggest meat eaters I know. If you like beef and pork, you’re going to enjoy my food.” She opened the door laughing, but stopped laughing at the sight of the house. It was perfectly clean. And close towards Luna’s bed, stood Luna. “Luna? You’re back?” Luna froze in fear. “Luna? Who’s in that bed?”

Episode 9: The Betrayal to the Betrayer

Luna swiftly covered the man with the blanket. "Summer. I didn't expect you so soon." Summer slowly walked inside. She suddenly hit something on the floor with her foot. "Dad's money. So you did take it." Luna looked towards the briefcase. "Luna. I simply added to it with my last payment. I.." "WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN DOING LUNA!" Luna froze, then noticed Ace and Paulie behind. "Oh. Um, you're Ace, right? Good to meet you. And Pau….....PAULIE!" She quickly looked towards the bed, then back towards Paulie. "Wow, it's getting late. Paulie, maybe you should head home."

Summer grabbed her by the throat. "What's going on, Luna? Who's the guy sleeping? Why did you want me to find Paulie? Why did lead to Ace? WHY DID YOU TAKE THE MONEY, ONLY TO NOT TAKE AN OUNCE OF CASH!" Luna looked Summer in the eye. Summer loosened her grip. "Let me talk to Paulie outside please." Summer, puzzled, let go of Luna. Luna grabbed Paulie by the arm, and took him outside.

"Are you sure you should leave your sister with that pirate?" "Ace is fine. He won't hurt anyone who is nice in return. Paulie, I need to tell you something." "How do you know my name? How do you know Ace's name? HOW DID YOU BREAK ACE OUT OF IMPEL...muffle" Luna covered Paulie's mouth. "Paulie, SHUT UP! Don't you think I'm kinda working on that." Paulie dropped his cigar, and crushed it in the ground. "Tell me you got away with it."

Luna sighed, then pulled out a wanted poster with her face on it. "YOU GOT CAUGHT!" "I didn't get caught you idiot. I was ordered to rescue Bon Clay from Impel Down. Some soldiers saw my face as I got out of there." "Wait, hold up." Paulie put his hand on his beard to think.

"You were paid by an unknown client to rescue some guy named Bon Clay, right?" Luna nodded. "Then why did you get Ace out too?" Luna smiled. "For my own reasons. Same reason I rescued..." Luna froze, and covered her mouth before she could say anything else. Paulie squinted towards her. "Who is that person in your bed, Luna?" "I saved him. He could have died. He's been in a coma for a while and..." "Luna. Who is he?" "Paulie...." Luna was close to tears. "I know you don't know who I am, but I need you to trust me. That man is..." Suddenly, the sound of Summer screaming and a window breaking interrupted her.

Both barged in. Summer was on the floor in fear, Ace helped her up. "That guy you had in that bed. HE WOKE UP!" Luna nearly exploded. "WHAT! He's been in a coma for a while now. He had no symptoms of waking up!" Paulie looked once more at Luna. "One more time. Who is he?"

Miles away, the now awakened man could hear the sound of Paulie screaming. "YOU RESCUED WHO!!!" The man turned, and continued to walk the streets of Water7, covered in a blanket. His mind was foggy. "What happened to me?" He looked around. "Why can't I remember anything?" He suddenly tripped in a puddle, then looked up from where he fell. In front of him stood a board of wanted posters. Monkey D. Luffy. Roronoa Zoro. Nico Robin. Dozens of names that sounded familiar. Luna Triad. And one poster that caught his eye. A poster that was a mirror image of his own face. His own wanted poster.

Episode 10: Luna, the Mistress of Shadow

Paulie didn't know whether to be furious or shocked. "He's still alive!" Luna pulled out a chair, and sat. "Thanks to me." "But….how did you....THE PLACE WAS DESTROYED BY THE BUSTER CALL!" "I know." Paulie grew even more confused. "So you just waltzed in there, picked him up, and left?"

Luna picked up a piece of paper from the floor. She slowly put her hand towards the sheet. Suddenly, he hand phased through the paper, and then back out when she pulled her hand back. Summer jumped in fear. Luna dropped the paper, and folded her arms. "I ate the Phase Phase Fruit. It allows me to phase through any solid objects. Walls, gates, stone, brick. You name it, I can walk through it. However, it only works with solid objects. I still move the same way in liquid, with the exception of being a hammer."

Ace was using a table to hold himself up. "So that's how you got me out of Impel Down. You phased through the prison cells, grabbed me....wait....can you help OTHERS phase through?" Luna nodded. "So you grabbed me and that 'Bon Clay' guy out?" "Phased through any bullets that shot my way. Phased through the gate that sealed my exit. Even phased into the place with my ship."

Paulie and Summer shouted at the same time.
Paulie: "YOU CAN PHASE A SHIP THROUGH A SOLID WALL!"
Summer: "YOU HAVE A SHIP!"

"Yes, Paulie. I can. And yes, I do have a ship. It's waiting at the dock, and I need to take Ace and Kaku with me." Ace suddenly fell to the floor. "ACE!?! Are you okay?" Summer turned him over, and helped him lean against a wall.

"Damn. Haven't eaten since forever." Summer nodded. "I'll get you food. Just, let me help you onto the kitchen table." As she helped him, Kaku busted into the house, and pointed towards Luna. "YOU!!" Paulie then looked towards Paulie. Paulie grunted as he too pointed towards Kaku, "YOU!!"

I used a program called Paint.Net. It's almost like Photoshop, only not yet as good (updates are coming) and it's for free.

I sorta cheating doing it. I took Zoro's wanted poster. Cut out his picture. Took Kaku's picture. Put it in, resized it to fit in the square. I also smoothed and lessened the contrast of Kaku's picture. Then deleted Zoro's name. Opened Luffy's and Zoro's wanted poster on MS Paint (laziness). Took the "K" and "U" from Monkey D. Luffy, and the "A" from Roronoa Zoro. I made them spell "Kaku".

I also resized them (notice the fact that the second K is smaller than the first K, proof of my crudy job ). I swiched the "1" and the "2" in Zoro's bounty price. Then fiddled with some picture effects to make it look more realistic.

That's about it. If you want Paint.Net, google it and you can download it for free, perfectly legal.

After that, I did some photo editing.

Episode 11: Argument of Confusion, Kaku vs Luna vs Paulie

Kaku nearly deficated himself. "P-P-PAULIE!" Kaku backed away, but then returned to scream at Luna. "Why the hell is there a bounty on my head?"

Luna laughed nervously. "I can explain that…you see..." "BECAUSE LONG NOSED FREAKS DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE!" Paulie leaped and punched Kaku across the face. Luna nearly shrieked, "Whoa! No fighting!" Kaku held Paulie back. "Too bad, cause after him. I'm going for you!" Luna burned with fury. She picked up a shovel and started swinging. Before any more hits were struck, Summer intervined.

"HEY! ASSHOLES!" All of them froze, looked, Paulie took one more punch on Kaku. "If you want to fight, that's fine. But I have a man dying for food here! Luna, why the hell didn't you feed him when you rescued him?" Luna spoke while behind entangled in the frozen fight. "I didn't have any food! Plus he wouldn't wake up!"

"Okay. So do me a favor. While I feed him, fight like normal...CIVILIZED HUMAN BEINGS.." Summer looks at Kaku. "Or civilized....whatever species you are...." Summer walked back to Ace who was nearly face down on the kitchen table. All three bitter rivals sat on different chairs away from the kitchen.

Summer walked up to Ace with a plate of raw, juicy steak. "Here ya go. My specialty." Ace exploded with saliva, and started chewing like a wild animal. "THIS TASTES GREAT!" Ace continued talking with his mouth full. "You guys are the weirdest bunch I've ever been with. What's up with square nose, and Mr. Goggles?" Summer laughed. "The purple hair raises questions, too." Both laughed in their own hilarity, until Ace's face landed in the middle of his meal. "OH MY GOD! HE'S DEAD!" Summer started screaming and crying in fear.

Luna smacked her forehead. "He's fine. He's just sleeping. He does this all the time." Kaku folded his arms. "So....can we talk now?" Luna gave Kaku at cold glance. "During the Enies Lobby incident, I rescued you." "How could you rescue me? Let alone, get inside?" Paulie sunk his cigar in a nearby ashtray. "She can phase through walls. That's how she got Ace over there out of Impel Down." Kaku nearly coughed up the tea Summer served. "YOU DID WHAT! UNFORGIVABLE!" Paulie stood from his seat. "THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING!"

Luna stood up. "I saved your God damn life! The least you can do is thank me!" "But why am I wanted?" Luna folded her arms across her chest, and avoided eye contact. "Spandam, now paralyzed from the leg down, ordered a search crew to find any survivors. Before they called quits and claimed that you were all dead, Blueno appeared. He had Kalifa, Jyabura, and Lucci in his arms. All were barely alive. Kumadori was found by several marines in the middle of the city, nearly dead. Fukurou was considered dead, until somehow he appeared. Everyone of CP9 is alive. Except you Kaku."

Kaku ran breathless. "But...why do I have a bounty on my head?" "When no one could find you, you were PRESUMED dead. You were considered to be buried in the ocean along with the tower. Blueno, with the power of his devil fruit, easily saved everyone else. But he couldn't find you, so everyone thought you were dead. Many mourned. Kalifa, Fukurou, Kumadori, even Jyabura. Spandam, however, was being blamed for your death. His calling of the Buster call lead to your death anyway." Luna took a sip of tea. "So, to clear his own name, he said you helped the Straw Hats escape. He claimed, 'You were always the soft one of the group. So, he gave Roronoa Zoro the key to save Nico Robin. Then, Kaku made his get away.'. Afterwards, fewer mourned for you. Instead, nearly everyone hated you."

Kaku exploded with anger. "So I'm wanted for treason....BECAUSE OF YOU!" Luna shot back. "You could have died!" "But Blueno saved everyone!" "How do you know he would have been able to save you in time!" "I'd rather be dead than be wanted for treason!" "Then maybe I should have left you in that tower!" Paulie tried to speak. "Um...can I speak? I have issues with Kaku to deal with." Both Kaku and Luna screamed at him. "THIS IS NOT..ABOUT..YOU!!!" Paulie shot back as well, and the room echoed with their screams.

Summer picked wax out of her ear. "So damn annoying." She looked at Ace, who was still sleeping. "Such peace in such chaos." She smiled, then walked over to her bed. She slowly closed her eyes, and drowned out the screaming that she could hear. "Reminds me of Mom and Dad." She frowned, then fell asleep.

Episode 12: Return of the Okama Way

Summer slowly got up. She scanned the room slowly. Luna is sleeping while sitting up. Her head bent over. Kaku's head is leaning over his chair, snoring loudly. Paulie is out cold on the couch, snoring louder than Kaku. Ace is still out cold in his food.

Summer slowly changed her clothes, then walked over to Luna. "Hey." She tapped Luna's shoulder. "Luna…" Luna immediately woke up, and strangled Summer. "YOUR EVERY LIVING BREATH SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A GIFT FROM ME!!! Oh...Summer...!" Luna quickly let go. "Sorry. Didn't know." Summer soothed her neck. "It's fine. Come on, let's make breakfast before they wake up. I want to be able to eat something good before you three return to your war."

The two quickly made breakfast. Summer sat next to Ace, who was still sleeping. Luna sat, waiting for the food to cook. "Summer. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I have a lot of things you don't know about me." "So tell me them now!" "I can't. My life is really complicated. Chances are, someone might have seen you with Ace."

Summer took a sip of her coffee. "What's so bad about that?" "Summer. Was Paulie with you when you found him?" Summer nodded. "Then that means you and Paulie might have a bounty soon!" Summer froze. Silence struck the both of them.

Ace quickly launched his head out of the food. "HOLY CRAP!" Summer fell off her seat. Ace slowly cleaned his face, then yawned. "I needed that." Summer took his plate. "Let me throw this away. We have new food." Ace smiled as he took his new plate. "Thank you, kindly." He shoved his face.

Summer sat down and noticed Luna staring at Kaku. "Luna?" Luna jumped. "OH! Yeah. What's up?" "What's your plan? Chances are, the marines are on their way to this house." "We're leaving after breakfast. I just need those two IDIOTS to wake up."

Paulie and Kaku woke up at the same time. "YOU!" "YOU!" Both started to punch each other like crazy. Luna slowly turned around. "SHUT UP! WE HAVE TO LEAVE! IF YOU WANT TO EAT, EAT NOW!" Both stopped fighting, then walked quickly towards food. Both ate lightning fast, almost as fast as Ace who was on his fifth plate.

Kaku and Paulie cleaned their plates, and bowed. "Thank you for the breakfast. It was delicious." Then both returned to trying to kill each other. Luna got out of her seat. "Will you two..." The sound of someone knocking on the door interrupted her.

Summer jumped out of her seat. "Is it the marines?" Luna slowly walked towards the door. "No....It's not, Summer." She launched the door open.

Ms Valentine, Mr. 5, Ms. Goldenweek, and a worn out Bon Clay all stood at the door frame. Valentine and Mr 5 held on to the passed out Bon Clay. "WE NEED FOOD AND SHELTER!" Luna froze, then turned to anger. "YOU IDIOTS! You don't even have a fallout plan?"

Valentine struggled to carry Clay. "Shut up! We already paid you. We'll pay you more!" Luna grunted. "I don't want your stupid money anymore, but I'll let you in." They sat Bon Clay in front of a plate of food. Goldenweek rushed next to him, and slowly fed him.

Summer slowly glanced at Bon Clay. "Who's the chick?" Everyone froze, then stared at Summer. "What? Did I say something weird?" Mr 5 nearly coughed up a lung. "You....YOU THINK THIS IS A WOMAN?" Summer nodded. "She's wearing make-up after all." Mr 5 and Ms Valentine both look at each other. "It's not worth it. Let's not correct her."
