" here it is" Jules said as she placed the map on the dining table. the crew was gathered in the galley to see the map that Jules had managed to get yesterday. they had set sail and docked a little away from the island. the breakfast was done and now was the time to see where their next adventure is gonna be.

" mumma what is that?" Rose asked. she sat on the table in front of luffy. " this is a map Rose, it will lead us to a treasure." Jules explained and Rose's eyes sparkled. " a treasure?" she exclaimed and Juels looked at nami with a sigh. " what? i didnt teach her anything." nami exclaimed. " well your habits have sure rubbed off on her." Jules said looking back at Rose who was staring at the map in front of her as if its the most beautiful thing while mumbling treasure...treasure.....treasure. " witch you broke the child." zoro said accusingly at nami. " you want me to increase those 1000% on your debt?" nami looked at zoro with challenging eyes. " fine" zoro grunted after having a few minutes of staring match gave up and nami had a victorious smile on her face.

" so back on the topic. nami " Robin said catching everyone's attention. nami picked up the map and read it but after a few minutes frowned. " its a real map, there is the name and seal of the cartographer as well, but..........but the place this map leads to, there is no such island in this part of the sea." nami said. " but if the map is real the place it leads to should be real too." Jimbe said confused. " yes but, wait let me show you." nami dashed out of the galey and returned a few minutes later. 

" see this? this is where the island is supposed to be and there is a island there." nami said pointing to the map she brought where a island could be seen but it didnt match the island that was on the map they got yesterday. " so nami's map is fake." luffy said tilting his head and picking his nose. " no thats not possible, my map is real too." nami said. 

" this is suuuper confusing." franky said leaning back on his chair. " how is this possible though, i can tell both maps are real and right but in the same place there cant be two different islands. ughhh, what is this new mystery." 

" you know a lot can change is 800 years." suddenly a voice came. everyone turned their heads towards the galley window. there through the window a man was looking into the galley with a smug look on his face. " ahhhhhhh, who are you ossan" luffy screamed. " oi you grandpa who are you?" sanji said going ahed and holding the old man by his collar. " hey hey hey, let go of me young man." the old man said but sanji didnt let go. " who are you and how did you get on the ship?" jimbe asked alert and ready in fighting stance. " i am not a threat, just a man looking for refuge." the old man said a little aftraid and begging. 

" oh arent you the map shop owner that got arrested?" robin said recognizing the man from yesterday. the man looked away with a little same when Robin mentioned that. luffy couldn't help but laugh along with Rose. 

" why dont we talk while sitting? i dont sense any threat from him." Jules said making sanji let go of the man.

" so, ossan, how did you get on our ship?" luffy asked suddenly getting serious and the old man shivered. " i...i listen to me, i mean no harm, they had put me in jail but then suddenly this hand appeared on the wall and gave me the keys to the cell. i was scared at first but took the opportunity and escaped when i got a chance. then i saw this pretty lady using her powers and figured she is the one who helped me, so i followed you guys. i was planning on staying hidden on your ship till next island." the man explained looking down still shivering with fear.

" then why did you show yourself, instead of hiding like a ghost, yohohohohohoh." brook asked. " well i heard you guys talking about this map that you got from the thief. and i couldn't help but come here and show myself." he said looking at the map on the table. 

" we are not giving you the map." luffy said frowning. " i dont want it, if i have it i'll get into trouble. i had kept it for so long because it was handed down in my family for generations. i had known its an illegal thing to have, i wasn't even gonna report the theft but my employee didn't know and he reported it. " 

" but the place this map leads to doesn't exist." nami said again  explaining. " yeah i know that, but as i said a lot can change in 800 years." nami was confused." what do  you mean?"

" that map from my shop, its about 800 years old. but things changed since then. 800 years ago, after that map was made, for some reason the geography of the island changed. when i saw the new map of that area of sea and didn't see the island there. but i figured something out. " he said and leaned forward.

he took nami's map and folded it near the area where the old map island is supposed to be. " hey what are you doing to my map." nami yelled trying to snatch the map from him. " wait wait wait, young lady, look at this." the man said showing the map to an angry nami. nami gasped at what she saw. when the map was folded an island not far from the first one there was another island that perfectly matched each other like puzzle piece.

" the island broke!!!!" nami gasped with shining eyes. " what do you mean the island broke nami?" chopper asked. " the island broke chopper. it might be because of an earthquake, a tsunami, or anything that can cause an island to break. The part of the island broke and drifted away. That is why it's not exactly the same in the new map. it must have happened a long time ago." nami explained and light bulbs turned on in Robin, Franky, brook, and Jimbe's heads. 

" huuuu, now what do we do if the island broke?" luffy asked panicking. " it's not destroyed luffy, its still there but in two pieces. " Jules explained. " ooooooo, luffy, zoro, chopper, and Ussop said finally understanding.
