{{Introduction- Not my first post }}

"Yeah! An Island!" A Young voice shouted from a ship. He jumped down the gangplank, and looked around. His messy black hair was flattned down with the presence of a Straw hat, something he was very protective of. He wore a open red vest, and some capri jeans. a Pair of sandals he wore on his feet, as he often did. Something was remarkable about this 16 year old boy; he was made of Rubber. As a child, he had eaten a cursed fruit, called the Gum Gum fruit. Now his body was able to bend in any way or form, but at a Terrible price. He couldn't swim, such a curse from the cursed fruit.

Next down was a 19 year old swordsman, who used a style that required three swords; one in his mouth, and one in each hand. His name was Zolo, Roronoa Zolo to be exact. His dream was to become the greatest swordsman alive; to carry on his childhood promise to Kuina, his friend who had died the night after they had vowed to become the greatest. He wore a White tee shirt, a green sash, and green pants. A pair of black boots rested on his feet; good enough to carry him anywhere. His swords; two black one white were at his side, as always.

Two people at once came down the gangplank; a small 15 year old reindeer and a boy around 16. The reindeer was quite shy, but he was a very good docter. He wore a Red Hat; and had a blue nose. What was special about this reindeer was that he was half-human, the effects of the Human-Human fruit. He stood on two legs, and walked down with his best mate, Usopp. Usopp had a long nose, frizzy and curly black hair, and a brown bandana to mass it all down. He wore Khaki overalls, and black boots. Usopp was the Marksmen, and a good one at that. His trusty slingshot lay at his side, along with a few other things.

Two women came down the plank, each wearing something spring and summer timey. One of them had orange hair, red eyes, and was the Navigator. Her name was Nami; and her dream was to map the whole world. The other one was Nice Robin, otherwise known as Robin. She had purple hair, and she always wore a cowboy hat. She had eaten a cursed fruit as well, and it had given her the ability to sprout extra body parts, her most favorite arms. She was a Archelogist, and a very good one at that. Her dream was to find a place that contained the whole world's history; something that needed the help of others to do.

Last but not least, two more men strolled down the plank. One was a Blond headed man; Sanji, the cook. Even though he loved cooking with a passion, there was also another thing he loved. Women. He was quite the charmer, and Nami and Robin were his two star women. The other was Franky, a tall cyborg with a metal nose, as well an Iron punch. He was the crew's Shipwriter, the one who had also built their new ship, The Sunny Thousand. He was a Tough guy type of person, one to quickly get angered. Even though he acted tough; he was quite the Drama Queen. He loved hearing sad tales, and even though he acted tough, cried real tears. The whole crew stood, and looked over the new island.

"Wow! Cashmire Island!" Luffy cheered happily. "Calm down!" Nami shouted, an anger vein appearing on her forehead. Luffy had been bounding around all day; bugging all of them except Chopper and Usopp. "I wonder what kind of ladies inhabit this island~" Sanji said, smoke from his cigarette turning into hearts. "Here we go again" Zolo rolled his eyes. "Shut it, Marimo-head" Sanji shot back. "What did you call me!?" As the two got into an arguement, the others decided to split up. With several bruises each, Sanji and Zolo split up; as did the rest of them.

RP Name: Yuzu Tokowari
Age: 17
Gender: Female

Appearance: This is pretty close to what she'll look like; her height is diminutive, being only 3' 10". And no hat...!
Bio: Her life began on a small island in the North Blue, however. She was self-raised as her parents abandoned her as a toddler in an old printing factory because the doctor told them she wouldn't survive, being so weak. Yuzu ate and lived off of what she could get through begging on the streets and survived in the factory. She learned of the world around her from the left over books in the factory. By climbing in and around the machinery, she gained the ability to climb and contort her body like a monkey. One night, the factory burned down and that was when her travels began. Whipping together a small raft, she set off with only a fishing rod, a sketchpad, and a world map. She is just floating aimlessly now, searching for someplace to port where she can get a good meal and some sleep. Her true dream though is to see everything the world has to offer, as she has seen these wonders only in books.

((Forget about the order thing. It was a dumb idea...^^;; And I claim Franky! You take Zolo or Sanji! Or Luffy! XD ))

The girl, Akina, walked around town. A bag was in her hands, that held several things. Books, Money, all the basics. All of a sudden a large bird swooped overhead, making her look up. "Oh...What a wierd bird..." Akina wasn't watching where she was going, and all of a sudden slammed hard into someone. She was knocked back, and her bag was spilled open. "Oh! I'm sorry!" Akina blurted out, looking up to a very huge person. He lowered his shades to look at the girl, and smiled. "Don't worry about it. Here, let me help you" The man helped her get up, and picked up her things. Akina couldn't help notice the only thing he wore was a Blue Speedo, making her giggle quietly. "Thank you, Mister. I wasn't watching where I was going. I was looking at this huge bird..." Akina pointed up in the sky, making him look. The bird was gone; making Akina sigh. "Aww..I wanted to draw it..." The man, Franky, looked at her. "My name is Franky. And you are?" He asked. "My name is Akina...Thank you again, Franky" Akina said, beaming at him.

"What brings you here to Cashmire?" Akina asked. "I'm here with my crew" Franky stated, making her eyes widen. "Pirates...?" She asked, making him look at her again. "Yeah" He stated, rather dully. "Wow! I'd love to be a Pirate! But...no one will take a girl" Franky shrugged his massive arms. "What's your specialty?" He asked. "Singing" She stated, looking at a huge crowd gather around a specific stall. "Luffy would like you then..." Franky trailed off as he looked at the crowd as well. Akina ran up to it, her interest already sparked. Franky rolled his eyes as he followed, looking over the short people. "Well Luffy! Here 15 mintues and already you've created a large crowd!" Framky stated, as the rubber boy looked up at him stuffing another apple. "Hwey Fraky!" His muffled voice greeted as he swallowed. Franky looked to the Girl beside him. "Oh hello. Didn't see you there miss..." Franky nodded slightly, looking at the Rubber boy. "Wow..." Akina mumbled as the people from around them disapeared, only leaving the four. "Hey Luffy! Franky!" A young woman's voice shouted. Franky turned around to see Nami waving, and Robin walking close behind. "What are you two doing here...?" Nami looked at Luffy, who continued to stuff his face. "GAH! LUFFY SLOW DOWN!" Nami yelled, a anger vein on her forhead. Luffy merely laughed as Nami noticed Yuzu, and Akina. "Oh hello! And you two are?" Nami asked, smiling. "My name is Akina..." She trailed off as she watched the rubber boy again, intrugued to how much he could eat.

"I'm 15, soon to be 16. And no; I'm not a pirate" Akina laughed. "15? You seem a lot...older" Franky stated. "I act mature for my age..." Akina replied. "Naaaaami~ Rooooobin~" A male's voice was heard. Akina looked over Franky to see a man with blond hair and another with green hair walking over. "Hello there my..." The man with blonde hair spotted Akina and Yuzu; and his eyes went into hearts. "Oh my! Two Lovely women! This is a dream!" He cooed, The smoke from his cigarette turning into hearts as well. "Erm...Hi?" Akina stated, sweatdropping. "Stupid cook" The green haired man stated. "Hey Usopp! Chopper!" Nami greeted all of a sudden. The two walked nearer, and as soon as the small reindeer saw Akina and Yuzu he quickly hid. "Awww!" Akina cooed. "His name is Chopper. And I, am the almighty Usopp!" The curly haired boy greeted. "He looks like Pinnochio" Akina whispered in Yuzu's ear, giggling. "Nice to meet you. All of you" Akina said politely.

"HEY!" Sanji yelled at Zolo, "YOU DON'T HIT GIRLS OR WOMEN!" While Sanji and Zolo got into an argument; Akina turned to Yuzu. "Kinda hard to believe he is a captain, isn't it?" Akina said, looking to the disapearing cart of apples. "Yeah, We're the Straw Hats! He may seem like a kid; but he can get very serouis at times" Robin said, smiling. "Hey!" Luffy said though a kiddish smile. "Oh will you two can it?" Franky yelled over to Zolo and Sanji, who looked up at the Cyborg. "Are you kidding? I used to be the captain of 80 million men!" Usopp created a pose, making Chopper clap from his hiding spot. "Heh..." Nami muttered as she rolled her eyes slightly. "I'm hungry!" Luffy whined, patting his stomach. "YOU JUST ATE A CART OF APPLES!" Akina sweatdropped. "So?" The rubber boy replied, yawning.

Akina smiled, shaking her head gently. "Oh, I don't want to be a bother. Don't worry about me" Sanji smiled, and took her hand. "My lovely, It wouldn't be a bother at all. It would be my pleasure, my girl" He said as she quietly sweatdropped. "Well...It has been a few since I've last eaten...Sure" Akina said. As soon as he let go of her hand she politely put it behind her back. "TO THE SHIP!" Luffy yelled, running off. "Luffy! Wait!" Nami yelled after him. Akina looked at the little reindeer; he still seemed a little shy. "Aww," Akina thought to herself, following behind the crew with Yuzu as they walked. She began to hum her favorite song as they walked, quiet but could be heard. "Do you sing, Akina?" Nami asked after she had stopped. "Erm...Yeah, I do" Akina said, looking down at the ground. Her flip flops made plopping sounds; and her skirt twirled around. Akina looked up to find a huge ship, one that made her eyes widen. "Whoah! That's a HUGE ship!" Akina gasped. "I'm the one who built it" Franky told her, grinning. "Wow..." Akina smiled, looking over the ship.
