One Pice: The Straw Hat Adventure Reborn.

Morning came rather harshly for everyone as a sandstorm was the first thing that greeted them.

"Sandstorms are another danger in the desert!" Vivi shouted.

"Tell us these things sooner!" Usopp shouted as they all braced themselves. The sandstorm blew around them for a while before dying out. Everyone began to dig themselves out of the sand before looking around.

"Bleeh!" Johnny said.

"I got sand in places that I didn't know were there." Yosaku said.

"One heck of a wake up call." Zoro groaned. "Where'd the tents go?" Gin asked. Soon they all dusted off their clothes before packing up and traveling again.

"Can we eat yet?" Luffy asked.

"No. Not until Vivi says so." Sanji said. "Please Vivi! Can we eat?" Luffy said.

"We're not even close to Yuba yet Luffy, so we have to make our supplies last." she said. "Haven't you ever heard the proverb Vivi? Eat when thou art hungry!" Luffy said.

"You made that up!" Usopp groaned. "Words to live by." Gin said with a smirk. "You're not helping!" Usopp shouted. "Okay Luffy. We'll eat at the next group of rocks we stop at." she said.

"Then let's get going guys!" Luffy yelled before challenging them all to a game of rock-paper-scissors, with the winner carrying everyone's stuff. Luffy won and was now carrying it all, despite not knowing how it happened.

"He'll never change." Ace said under his breath as Usopp spotted rocks up ahead.

"TIME TO EAT!" Luffy yelled as he raced off towards the rocks with all the supplies.

"FAST!" Usopp yelled. Luffy was now resting in the shade before hearing some pain filled groans coming from a few rocks over.

"What's that?" he asked himself as he went over to look. He gasped when he spotted a group of injured birds lying all of the place. "What happened?! Hang on! I'll get you a doctor!" he said before he started running. He ran a few yards before suddenly stopping. "Wait a second. Didn't those birds run off with our...oh crap!" he said before running back. Sure enough, the birds were up and healthy and packing everything onto their backs with sneaky smiles on their beaks, not even noticing Luffy running at them.

-Back with the others-

"Stupid moron running off like that!" Zoro grumbled.

"If he ate everything again, I'm gonna kill him!" Sanji said.

"That's a high possibility." Ace said. Before they could go further, all of them saw a flock of strange birds flying away looking like they got into a fight with a sea king.

"What happened to them?" Gin asked. Vivi gasped before telling them that those birds are known for decieving travelers and stealing their stuff.

"Guess they tried to steal from Luffy." Alvida said with a smirk. They all finally got to the rocks before spotting Luffy acting like a guard.

"Hey guys." Luffy said with a grin. "Some birds tried to steal our stuff, but I kicked their asses." he said.

"We saw that." Greg said before seeing one of them lying on the ground next to a rock. "One of them didn't get away."

"That's definitely a Warusagi bird." Vivi said. Grace walked over to see it before it lunged at her and grabbed her backpack before flying away and squawking.

"What's he saying?" Nojiko said as Grace got to her feet.

"He said that guy's crazy, but we aint leaving empty handed!" Chopper said.

"That's got all my art supplies!" Grace cried out as she tried to give chase.

"I got it!" Luffy said as Sanji followed. Both of them chased after the bird before Luffy sent a tempest kick at it. The bird freaked out and dropped the bag which Sanji caught before a group of giant plants began attacking them. They fought them all off and helped a camel in the process before they began running from something under the sand. "Where'd that camel come from?" Nojiko asked.

"What are they running from?!" Gin asked. He got his answer when a giant purple lizard appeared from under the sand.

"WHAT IS THAT THING?!" Usopp shrieked.

"A Sandora Dragon!" Vivi shouted. "It's the largest reptile in the desert. It's fangs and claws are razor sharp, yet they only need to swallow their prey whole!"

"Just like when we were kids." Ace said with a smile. "Luffy's always attracting trouble one way or the other."

"Yeah, and we have to clean up his mess!" Zoro said. "Still, I bet that stupid cook helped him out." he said as he ran towards them. "You two morons need a hand?!" "Like we need any help from you Moss Head!" Sanji said.

"Don't worry! We got dinner right behind us!" Luffy said before all three of them jumped at it.

"GUM GUM!"

"TATSU!"

"EPOULE!"

"PISTOL/MAKI/SHOOT!" All three of them attacked at once, defeating the giant lizard with ease. All but Ace gapped at them as the lizard fell down dead.

"That was a little overkill guys." Usopp said. "Way to go Big Bros!" Johnny and Yosaku cheered.

"I feel bad for whoever those three gang up on." Nami said before another lizard appeared right behind them. "Another one?!" Nami shouted as the rest freaked out.

"I forgot to mention that they hunt in pairs!" Vivi yelled.

"Stop forgetting these things!" most of them said as Ace looked at it in boredom.

"Watch out Ace!" Nojiko yelled.

"Big guy isn't he?" Ace asked. "Wanna fight huh? Alright then!" Ace said as he jumped into the air before being swallowed. The lizard's mouth and nose erupted with fire before it was surround in a pillar of fire while Ace jumped out towards the others. The others stared in shock as the crispy lizard fell down dead.

"These rocks are nature's frying pan." Sanji said. After the fight, everyone began eating the lizard while wondering where the camel came from. Chopper immediately recognized him and smiled.
