New outfits and Loguetown.

The Straw Hats were having a nice afternoon relaxing as always until a ripping sound was heard from the deck. Kaizo, the ever so curious member, saw what that was and saw Zoro, who accidentally ripped off his white shirt.

This one is a backup one since the other got stained with Zoro's blood and Nami just threw it away, which left Zoro with only this one, sadly, the lost swordsman ruined another shirt once again.

Kaizo just sighed and went inside to look for a replacement. One of the things he likes about One Piece was that the characters, at some point, began to change outfits. It was a minor detail with little weight on the story, fair enough.

But it was one of those things that he enjoyed to see the characters with different styles. He doesn't just mean the waifus in bikinis. Kaizo opened a bag and found a yellow jacket with its sides being black.

(Basically, Zoro's alt outfit from Pirate Warriors 3)

Kaizo takes the jacket and immediately rushes outside to smack it on Zoro's sleeping face. The swordsman gets up and looks around but finds no one, he then notices his shirt situation so he takes his shirt off and puts the jacket on instead.

Zoro feels comfy enough and goes back to sleep.

"Did you needed to be so brute to give him a shirt?" Nami asked since she oversaw the whole thing.

"What can I say? It's the little things in life like this that make me happy." Kaizo.

"You're sick." Nami.

"Hey! I'm genuinely into tailoring, in fact, I have some outfits for the whole crew." Kaizo.

"Why?" Nami.

"Well, I kinda thought that us using the same set of clothes all the time can be boring and lazy so, I made a few different outfits." Kaizo.

"I change clothes daily—" Nami stops before realizing something important.

"Kaizo." Nami.

"Yeah?" Kaizo.

"You said that you made clothes for all of us, right?" Nami.

"Yeah." Kaizo.

"Including me?" Nami.

"Yes, why leave anyone behind when I can make clothes for everyone?" Kaizo.

Nami tried to punch Kaizo but he escaped by climbing the main mast.

"HOW DID YOU GET MY SIZES?!!!!" Nami.

Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji leave their activities and arrive at the scene to see what the commotion is about.

"What happened, Nami-san?" Sanji.

"This idiot somehow got my sizes and made a dress out of it!" Nami.

"EHHHHH???!!! YOU BLUE-HAIRED JACKASS!!! COME DOWN HERE SO I CAN KICK YOUR FACE!!!!!!!" Sanji.

"Chill out, Sanji. I just did mere math; I didn't do anything perverted like measure them up while Nami was asleep. That's creepy as fuck." Kaizo.

"Is that even possible?" Usopp.

"My long-nosed friend, with math, nothing is impossible." Kaizo.

Luffy got bored and was 'bout to go back to his seat when he saw Zoro with a particular jacket.

"Oh, yeah? Prove it!" Nami.

Kaizo gets down from the mast and takes out a chalkboard and some chalk.

Kaizo then began to make some equations with a realistic drawing of Nami (covered of course) and began to explain the process to do it. Usopp and Nami were sweatdropping but Sanji, at some point, began to take notes about the whole process.

"In conclusion: Cup size is determined by the difference between the circumference of her bust and the circumference of her chest below her breasts. For example, a woman with a 30″ underbust and 35″ overbust has a difference of 5″, which in most size charts is a cup size of DD/E. Any questions?" Kaizo.

 Sanji was about to ask something until Nami whacked him and glared at Kaizo.

"What the hell's wrong with you?!" Nami.

"Look, either you want the outfit I made or not, take your pick." Kaizo.

Luffy finally asks.

"Guys! Doesn't Zoro look different to you?" Luffy.

Everyone but Nami and Kaizo looks at the swordsman and notices the jacket he's wearing.

"Not bad, he looks scarier now." Usopp.

"You have one for us as well?" Sanji.

"Yeah, wanna try them?" Kaizo.

After calming the raging fire known as Nami, the straw hats were given their new clothes.

Luffy was wearing an amalgam of his usual set of clothes but this time they looked a little bit more detailed and with thicker brown sandals.

Sanji is wearing a blue suit with horn prints, a black vest and pants, shoes with a yellow line near the base, and a black hat with two yellow chains on it.

Usopp's outfit is just a color change that makes it look like a minion, and Kaizo is dying of laughter while seeing him gloat about how good he looks.

Zoro and his new jacket, skip.

Nami is wearing a short, sleeveless pink dress that is tight-fitting, showcasing her figure. The dress often has a simple design, focusing on a bright pink color that stands out. She pairs the dress with her typical sandals or high-heeled shoes,

Finally, Kaizo is dressed in a new outfit, he wears a black shirt and pants with two white belts in his waist, a white ragged jacket over the shirt, and black shoes with cyan sole.

The crew saw their outfits and were quite happy with them.

"Wow, I never expected you to make clothes." Nami admitted.

"Well, I got really into it after my favorite shirt was ripped." 'To be honest, this is one of the only times when I'm grateful mom forced me into that full tailoring course.' Kaizo.

"It feels lazy that my pants are the same though." Zoro.

"There's a pair of black pants, I'll give them to you later." Kaizo.

"Hehe!!! I like this! I feel ready for adventure!" Luffy.

"This outfit is bound to bring the ladies by my side." Sanji.

"Never thought blue and yellow would fit me so well." Usopp.

Kaizo looked at the crew satisfied and soon after was questioned by Nami about certain "boundaries."

After a few hours of being yelled at, Nami left Kaizo alone and he went back to check the crow's nest. Until Nami called for a reunion to talk about the entrance of the Grand Line.

"We're getting closer to the Grand Line; the only entrance is through the Reverse Mountain." Nami.

"What a drag. Wouldn't we be able to just sail through the sea?" Zoro.

"Calm your horses, Shikamaru. That part of the sea is known as The Calm Belt it is a place where there's no wind and countless sea kings are roaming around." Kaizo.

"The old geezer told me similar things about it." Sanji.

'Who is Shikamaru?' Usopp was left with the doubt.

"How much do you know about the Grand Line, Kaizo?" Nami.

"A few things; first: The entrance is filled with powerful currents that impulse the ship through one of its passages, should we take the incorrect waterway, we'll perish by crashing at high speeds against the mountain." Kaizo.

Nami and Usopp freak out.

"Second: In the Grand Line, we need a special compass known as a Log Pose." Kaizo.

"Why's that?" Nami.

"The islands there produce a unique electromagnetic field that clashes with that of a regular compass, the Log Pose however, tracks the one within a certain island and then connects itself with another island. Allowing you to always know where to go." Kaizo.

"I see, to think this much insight was needed." Nami.

"Just do better. Third: No matter where we are, or in which island we'll be sailing to, we'll never doubt the Pose. This is important Nami, make sure to keep track of it as much as possible." Kaizo explained in a serious tone.

Everyone nods and Luffy suddenly points at the map.

"Let's go already! We need to buy the most important thing before we enter the Grand Line...… meat for the voyage! Meat, meat!" Luffy.

Nami then points at a small island near Reverse Mountain.

"On this island, there's a famous city, Loguetown." Nami.

"Loguetown? Are they famous for their meat?" Luffy.

"Nah, that's Argentina." Kaizo muttered.

"It's also known as 'The City of The Beginning and The End.' Or so I've heard." Zoro.

"Hm?" Luffy.

"The place where the Pirate King, Gold Roger, was born and executed." Nami.

Sanji and Usopp gave concerned looks but Luffy was intrigued.

"The city where the Pirate King died…" Luffy.

"Wanna go?" Nami.

"Yes, I wanna see it. The man that had the One Piece, the man who had all the riches of the world, the place where he was born and died, there's no way I can leave the East Blue without going there." Luffy.

And so, the crew set sail towards Loguetown.

[The next day]

The crew was surprisingly wake early in the morning, it seems that Luffy got a little too excited about Loguetown and wanted to reach the island as fast as he could.

"RAISE THE ANCHOR!" Luffy.

Luffy pulls the Anchor out of the water and Zoro ties it with the ship.

"UNFURL THE SAIL!" Luffy.

Sanji and Usopp did as they were told and the sail was unfurled.

"We're ready to sail! Towards Loguetown!" Luffy.

Kaizo and Nami come from their respective rooms and greet their crewmates.

"Good morning, Sanji-kun." Nami.

"Good morning, Nami-san." Sanji with hearts in his eyes.

"Yo, everyone." Kaizo.

"Oi, Kaizo, let's play tag!" Luffy.

"Sure." Kaizo.

"Play? I also wanna play." Usopp.

"Don't be so nosy, I'm gonna take a nap before breakfast." Zoro.

"Come on, Zoro, play with us." Luffy.

"You're all grownups, show some dignity." Zoro.

"Heh, you're just scared because you know you'll lose." Usopp.

Zoro gets a tick mark.

"The hell did you say!? I'm not scared of anything!" Zoro.

"Ha! He's pissed, seems like you're right, Usopp." Kaizo.

"Eh????!!!!" Zoro began to chase Luffy, Usopp and Kaizo.

"Get back here you..." Zoro.

"See? You insult me since you know it's true." Usopp.

The sniper evades Zoro's attempts of catching him, Luffy would stretch his body and Kaizo was the fucking boss and played olé with Zoro.

Nami just sees the scene and smiles at it.

"Nami-san, breakfast is ready." "Hey, assholes! The food's ready!" Sanji.

"Yeah!" Usopp/Kaizo/Luffy.

"Come back here! I'm not done with you!" Zoro.

Kaizo and Luffy arrived to eat their food and soon after Zoro joined while grabbing Usopp by the nose.

The crew spend their time talking about what would be of Buggy, the pirate they met on Orange Town. They concluded that he might've died by falling unto the ocean but Kaizo said that Buggy possesses an abysmal amount of luck.

When asked about it he just let it be in his enigmatic self and confused his crewmates until they dropped the topic. The Straw Hats continued their training regime for the night and Kaizo told them that something interesting would happen soon enough.

After sailing for a few more days, the crew finally arrives at Loguetown and Luffy's ecstatic.

"Whoa! This is a big town!" Luffy.

"So, this is where the pirate era began, eh?" Sanji.

"Ok! I'll go to the execution stand!" Luffy.

"I'll restock our supplies." Sanji.

"I'll go look for some equipment to buy." Usopp.

"I need some swords but…" Zoro.

"I'll give you a loan with a 300% interest." Nami.

Kaizo casually gives Zoro 500 thousand berries and Nami looks at him in shock.

"If you ask money from her, she'll make you her indebted slave for as long as you breathe. Take here and buy some quality swords, I recommend you looking amongst the scraps, you may find a treasure posing as trash." Kaizo.

Zoro nods and takes the money, Nami looks at Kaizo with infuriated eyes as he just laughs at her face.

"I'll go meet up with a certain someone, see you guys later." Kaizo disappeared in a flash.

"Who do you think he's meeting?" Usopp.

"Don't know, don't care, all I know is that I've got enough money for some good swords." Zoro spoke and then left.

"Bastard Kaizo…if you have that much money then give it to me…!" Nami muttered while walking towards a tailor.

Sanji and Usopp looked around for Luffy but he was already gone so, they just went to finish their objectives.

[With Kaizo]

'He's here! I can somewhat feel his Haki, it seems that his guard is not entirely down. I wouldn't expect less from the leader of the Rev Army.' Kaizo.

'I need to speak with him no matter what! Since I know that Ace won't listen to my warning about Teach, all I can do is add more players to the stage.' Kaizo.

Kaizo then jumps into an alley and looks from Monkey D Dragon. He tries to use his observation Haki for it but Dragon's presence is getting dimmer and dimmer.

'Damn! He must've realized that I'm tailing on him.' Kaizo.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Kaizo felt a powerful presence behind him. It was as if his whole body was screaming for help, he looked at the end of the valley and saw that none of the passerby's were paying attention to the alley at all.

'Dammit! My…conscience.' Kaizo.

"Who are you?" Spoke the person behind Kaizo.

The man was no other than the infamous Monkey D Dragon, after feeling Kaizo's presence and feeling some strange energy from him, Dragon decided to subdue to threat as fast and stealthy as possible. After a few questions of course.

"K-Kaizo…"

"The highest bounty in the East Blue. Why are you chasing me?" Dragon.

"Sabo…has a brother…" Kaizo.

Dragon's eyes widen and he leave the pressure off Kaizo, making him grasp out for air as he looks back at him. Dragon has black long hair, a mark in his face and is wearing a green coat.

"Speak." Dragon.

"Two days ago, my captain, Monkey D Luffy, told me that he had a brother named Sabo. That made me think of the one in the Revolutionary army, they are a match based on what Luffy described about him, cept for the scar." Kaizo.

Dragon thinks for a few seconds and lets out a sigh.

"What do you want?" Dragon.

"Give this to him and this letter." Kaizo shows the devil fruit he got at Gaimon's island.

"This is the logia type water-water fruit. Give it to him alongside Luffy's bounty poster and "Fire Fist" Ace's." Kaizo.

"Why the second in command of the Whitebeard Pirates is of importance?" Dragon.

"Luffy told me that the three of them are sworn brothers, that's why. In case he can't remember with Luffy, let hi m remember with Ace." Kaizo.

Dragon just looks at him and takes the note, Luffy's poster and the fruit. When he's about to leave, he turns back and looks at Kaizo with skepticism.

"Why did you go this far for this? There's a chance that Sabo might not be the same you're talking about. Why take the risk of me eliminating you just for that chance?" Dragon.

Kaizo knew that he couldn't bullshit his way here, Dragon's gaze changed and is now focusing on figuring out Kaizo's true intentions. Kaizo sighs and looks at Dragon with dead eyes.

"I killed my own brother." Kaizo.

Dragon's eyes widen.

"I don't desire to deepen on the matter but, in a sea like the Grand Line and the New World, losing one's life can happen at any time. That's why, I don't want Luffy to live thinking that his brother's dead, should he be alive. If you believe me or not, your choice, I've done all I can for this matter." Kaizo.

Kaizo then begins to walk out of the alley as Dragon just stares at him.

'There was no doubt, neither falsehood in his answer. Only pain and regret, what kind of tragedy befall upon him for such pai n could exist?' Dragon.

Dragon disappears as Kaizo makes his way towards the execution stand.

'I wonder if God gave you a better life, Alexander.' Kaizo thought.
