First

"We have completed our first journey! We have arrived at Cactus Island!!" Nami declared while grinning proudly..

" An island with giant cacti!! " Luffy shouted happily.

There is a river flowing through the island allowing ships to dock inland. Nojiko hummed as she raised her binoculars and looked through it.

" Those are not cacti, Luffy. Those are gravestones! " Nojiko corrected, surprising all but Mr Nine and Miss Wednesday.

On Cactus Island there are several rock mountains with multiple graves on top. The shape of the mountains along with the graves give the mountains the appearance of giant cacti. There is a river flowing through the island allowing ships to dock inland.

Nojiko then looked at Whisky Peak with her binoculars. The town itself looks like a northwestern town with pueblo houses.

"Then this small town is not what it seems then! We better prepare for a fight and don't fall for anything they try to pull!!" Luffy ordered them. Everyone nodded at their Captain's orders.

Kaya checked her senbon filled pouch. Her senbon has been filled with various poisons that were lethal and non-lethal.

Suddenly, Mr Nine and Miss Wednesday leaped onto the wooden railing. They smirked at the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Thanks for taking us here, we have to go now. We shall meet again if we are destined to." Mr Nine muttered before he and Miss Wednesday looked at them while grinning.

" Bye bye baby!!" They shouted before leaping into the sea and swam away. There was an awkward and confused silence that followed. Luffy suddenly grinned.

"Alright then! Let's go to the port!!"

Since the Log Pose needs time to reset, the crew have no choice but to dock at the mysterious island. Much to their surprise, the residents welcome them as if they are heroes.

"Pirates!!!"

"Welcome to our Town, Whisky Peak!!!!!"

"Welcome to the Grand Line!!!!"

" A warm welcome? " Zoro muttered while raising an eyebrow, seeing the townsfolk of Whisky Peak waving their hands while grinning happily at them.

Sanji blew out smoke from his cigarette.

"Definitely not good news. Luffy is right, this town is not what it seems to be." Sanji muttered. Luffy pouted at Sanji.

"Hey! Did you just subtly imply that you don't trust my word, Sanji?" Luffy asked him. Sanji scowled at him.

" I did not mean it like that! Sstop twisting my words!! " Sanji shouted, making Luffy chuckle.

"Alright! If you say so Sanji!"

"Congratulations on your journey, brave warriors!!!"

Nami sighed. If not for the problem with the Log Pose, they would've left. They docked their ship and stepped onto solid ground.

Someone approached them. He is dressed like a gentleman. He is a tall man with a small red nose and has blond hair in a style that resembles a powdered wig and he has the number 8 at the tips of his collar. The curls in his hair also look similar to the number 8.

"Welcome, my name is Igarappoi. This is Whisky Peak, the town of music and liquor. It's our honor to welcome you!" Igarappoi greeted them. He smiled at them.

" We have lots of liquor here, please tell us about your journey. If you don't mind, I would like to ask you to join a party. " Igarappoi invited them politely.

" Um.... We're pretty tired after arriving at the Grand Line. So we need some rest. I'm sure we can have a party another day. " Usopp explained to Igarappoi. Igarappoi nodded, believing the lie.

" Alright then, we shall have the party another day then. Have a good rest, everyone. "

"Mister Igarappoi, how long will it take to record the magnetic field of this island?" Nami asked while pointing at her Log Pose.

"Record? Maybe we should talk about it when you're fully rested and are ready to go." Igarappoi suggested. Nami wanted to object, but a subtle smack on her bubbly butt from Luffy who was standing beside her made her stop it.

Nami was trying extremely hard to hide her enormous blush and embarrassment. Luffy chuckled to himself and looked away, faking a few coughs.

"A-ah. A-alright then. See you later I guess..." Nami stuttered and waved at Igarappoi who nodded and walked away.

The crew silently boarded the Going Merry again as the citizens of Whisky Peak left the scene to give them some privacy.

Once they were on the ship, Nami pounced and sat on Luffy's stomach. "What the fuck was that, Luffy! You could've just interrupted me!! But no, you just have to be a pervert!!" Nami shouted angrily while Luffy was laughing happily. Nami pouted cutely and huffed childishly.

She crossed her arms and looked away. "Shishishishishi!! Nami, don't deny it! You like it!!" Luffy declared, making her gasp.

"Monkey D Luffy!! I am a woman with grace and manners! You however act true to your surname, a monkey!" Nami scolded with a big blush on her face.

" Is that a blush i see on you, sis? " Nojiko asked slyly while looking at Nami's red face. Nami growled at Nojiko who started giggling.

Usopp took a look at Kaya's butt while Kaya was giggling happily at the situation Luffy managed to get himself into.

He then looked at his right hand. He then shook his head. 'No Usopp. This is what you do in private!' Usopp berated himself. Kaya noticed him looking at his hand and smiled a little.

"What's wrong, Usopp? You wanna try it too?" Kaya asked with a straight face. Usopp gulped.

" The real question is how are you able to ask that with a straight face? " Usopp asked her. Kaya smirked and put her hands on her hips.

" Because I'm awesome, Usopp." Kaya answered, making Usopp laugh and pat her back.

The moon has risen and the Straw Hat Pirates were still isolating themselves in the Going Merry.

Igarappoi was looking at the moon while standing outside of the building. "The Cactus Mountain under the moonlight looks beautiful." He muttered.

"How profound, Mr Eight! " Miss Wednesday commented while she and Mr Nine were sitting on the edge of the building Igarappoi was turning his back on.

"Oh it's you!" Igarappoi greeted them. Miss Wednesday and Mr Nine landed on the ground.

"How are they doing?" Miss Wednesday asked him.

" They are falling into hell. They are more careless than I thought, sleeping in the middle of enemy territory. " Igarappoi commented.

" Did you really think it was worth it to host a stupid party with those kids? We're almost out of food, we should've taken care of them when they arrived. These guys failed to get the whale meat as well."

Someone commented. They looked at her. She is a tall, muscular woman with dark skin and pink hair pulled into short twin-tails. She wears a short dress with a magenta and white diamond pattern, and three green flowers.

She is Miss Monday, and she is the partner of Igarappoi who is Mr Eight.

"Don't fight and calm down now! Look at this! I'm investigating something about the kids!" Igarappoi shouted and showed them a wanted poster of Luffy.

"Wh-what!" Miss Wednesday shouted in horror.

"150 million Belly!!! " Mr Nine shouted with her.

"Monkey D Luffy..... Hold on! He's the son of Monkey D Dragon and is associated with Gol D Ace!! " Miss Monday pointed out, making Mr Nine and Miss Wednesday gulp in fear.

"His bounty was just updated a few hours ago. In about tomorrow, the whole world shall know through the newspaper. " Igarappoi explained.

" How'd you get it so soon? " Miss Wednesday asked.

" Baroque Works have a lot of connections. We should be thankful for that. It's unwise to underestimate the Straw Hat Pirates, everyone. With the combined bounty of the members of his crew that has bounties, the Straw Hat Pirates are now worth 218,550,000 Belly. " Igarappoi revealed. Miss Wednesday and Mr Nine are on the verge of fainting.

"Heh, so you should probably hold off on what you're about to do to us then."

Everyone looked at the roof of the building behind them and saw every member of the Straw Hat Pirates staring down at them.

Luffy pointed at them. "Pirates who are smart and cautious will not fall for tricks like the ones you failed to pull on us." Luffy grinned at them.

" So it's true, this place is for pirate hunters who are waiting for pirates to come to the Grand Line. " Zoro smirked at them. He unsheathed Wado Ichimonji and pointed at them.

" 100 hunters? I will be your challenger tonight, Baroque Works. " Zoro declared, shocking them that they would know their company's name.

" Zoro, maybe we should give the rest a chance." Luffy smiled at him. Zoro looked at him.

"Who are you suggesting, Luffy?"

"Kaya, Usopp, Nami, Nojiko, Sanji. You're up. " Luffy grinned at them. Zoro deadpanned at her captain.

" So literally everyone else except for me and you, huh." Zoro grumbled, making Luffy laugh.

" Kill them!!!" Igarappoi declared.

"Eh?!"

"They're not there anymore!!" Mr Nine shouted in shock.

" Yeah, I wonder where they went? " Usopp asked while he, Nami, Nojiko and Kaya were in the midst of the group of 100 pirate hunters.

Everyone looked at them in disbelief. Nami grinned and held up her Clima-Tact.

"So everyone, shall we begin?"
