It seems that some things never change. In this case inspiration given by reading another's story. Here is a little inspiration I found from reading fanfiction, one piece, and lord of things. I hope you all enjoy

Chapter 1: A Calm Day?

Captain Aragorn was enjoying the weather outside, but anyone that saw him would know that he was agitated. However it was not often that anyone on the ship just got to enjoy the day so none of them paid any attention to their captain. This was not what Aragorn wanted to see. This was especially the case since they had been at war for the last few years with Mordor, a country with far more men and weapons than his own small country. However his country had plenty of fighters who could defend themselves and the men on his own ship were said to be the best that his country had to offer.

His was the navy's flag ship The Fellowship, it was a massive first rate ship with a 104* guns set to defend the port of their capitol city Minas Tirith. However, even though they had been just off the shore of the island for around 2 months straight they had as of yet to see any action. This was why Aragorn found himself agitated on such a fine day. Usually the enemy struck out at them every couple of weeks on a raid. Of late though they had not made any move whatsoever, and this was not a good sign.

Looking out over his ship Aragorn could see his men were enjoying the day with little to no one watching the ocean to make sure no enemies were about to attack. It was at this thought that Aragorn realized this would be the perfect time to attack them right in the middle of a warm day when his men would be getting tired or lazing around the ship. Growling to himself Aragorn yelled out, "Legolas get to the crow's nest and make sure that nothing is coming I don't want to be caught unawares!"

"Yes sir!" his first mate replied from across the deck where he had been resting with his fellow elves, and a few of the rangers that accompanied the ship.

Aragorn wasn't listening anymore though knowing that once he gave a command it would be followed. So by the time Legolas had even heard the command Aragorn was now looking back at his crew for his second mate "Gimli! Where are you?" Aragorn called starting to get a bad feeling in his gut as he looked back to where Legolas was already half way up to the crow's nest.

At that moment Gimli made himself known as he came up from below decks. "What do ya need Aragorn?" Called out the dwarf looking up at him where he stood towards the back of the ship.

"Get all the commanders in my quarters NOW!" Aragorn yelled back at him as the feeling of dread kept growing. It was at this moment that Aragorn realized that they were about to come under the first large scale attack of the war. As he realized this he immediately ran into his room and grabbed his communication snail and started calling the capital.

"Hello Prince what can I do for you today?" came a voice he would rather have gone without hearing for the day.

"Wormtongue get the admiral on the line right now I need to speak to him immediately. This is an emergency!" As he finished yelling this into the snail he heard noise outside his cabin door. Turning to it he was only mildly surprised to see that Legolas was the first one into his quarters. The look he received from the elf though was the one that caused him to stop his conversation as he said, "Wormtongue never mind about getting the admiral, just give him the message that we are under attack!"

Finishing his phone call he turned back to the where Legolas was sitting and asked, "How many and from which direction?"

"They're from Mordor so east, and there are about 100 ships of men including pirates. Aragorn I don't think we can hold them back this time. We need to fall back now." Legolas said as he looked to his captain, and future king.

It was at this moment that the rest of his commanders walked into his room wondering why they had been called to his quarters with such urgency. Aragorn just took a moment to look all of them over. Before him sat Boromir Commander of the soldiers onboard, next to him sat his brother Faramir commander of the rangers, next to him stood Gimli he was in charge of all the equipment on board, such as cannons and weapons; along with the dwarves onboard. To Gimli's right stood Eomer, commander of Aragorn's personal guard, captain of the knights of Rohan. In the back of the group stood Eomer's sister, Eowyn who was in charge of the few scouts that were onboard. Finally standing to Aragorn's left was his personal advisor Gandalf the grey who was also in charge of the medical unit onboard though he himself confessed that he didn't know much about healing or medicine despite being a wizard.

"Lady, and gentlemen we have a problem the enemy is attacking, and it does not look good. According to Legolas there is a fleet from Mordor on the horizon and it is a hundred ships strong."

At this the whole room erupted into chaos, as all the commander's tried to start talking at once. That is until Gandalf all of a sudden shouted in a voice that would make most men cower in fear, "Cease this useless shouting. We need to come up with a plan of action to hold them off until we receive reinforcements from Gondor. Isn't that right Aragorn?" finished Gandalf as he looked back to his captain.

"Yes and no" replied Aragorn. "Yes we need to find a way to stall them, but at the same time we need to get back closer to Gondor so that we help defend it since we can't hope to stop them if they have a hundred ships to our one." Aragorn stated to the confused expressions he had received from his previous answer.

Looking at him Gandalf smiled realizing just how smart that observation was. "So what do you want us to do?" asked Boromir looking behind him at the door as if he expected the sounds of fighting to start at any moment.

"Well that's simple actually." Aragorn said looking back at him as he turned around again. "How many men do we have currently on the ship?"

"A little over 800." said Faramir while his brother was thinking about it. "We have 300 soldiers, 150 elven archers, 50 rangers, 200 dwarves, 50 knights, 25 scouts. And around 30 to 35 doctors along with all of us. We are just a little under staffed at the moment since we haven't received the replacements for the last battle we were in."

"Ok so here's the plan" said Aragorn looking from the group before him to the map of the ship on his desk in front of him. "Boromir I want your men to line up along the top deck 150 men to each side. Though, I do want you to make sure that some of your men protect the stairs to the aft and fore decks. Legolas I want your archers to split up onto both the aft and the fore decks, though you can put more on the fore deck since my knights and I will be on the aft deck as well. Faramir put your men in the rigging so that they can shoot down on anyone that tries to come up alongside us. Eowyn your scouts are to be interspersed amongst the all three of these locations, have them bring continuous updates on how the battle is going on that deck. Finally Gimli I want your dwarves to take care of the cannons below decks don't let them stop shooting for an instant we will need every bit of fire we have to get us back to Gondor."

The commanders looked at him smiling they all realized that he had come a long way from the reclusive man that had been put in charge of the ship a year earlier. Now he really was a commanding person who could take charge of a situation and save many lives. With this thought in mind they all started to file out except for Gandalf who Aragorn had put an arm around and pulled to the side. "Gandalf I want you to take charge of the port side of the ship. Boromir will not be able to watch both sides of the ship."

"Very well sir." Gandalf replied "What do you want me to do with the doctors?"

"Have them set up shop on the third deck I don't want them to get caught up in the fighting." Aragorn said with a little apprehension as he remembered his first naval battle where he had ordered the doctors to set up on the top deck so they could better help the injured faster. That had been a disaster as most of the doctors had been cut down themselves.

"As you wish." said Gandalf as he too stepped out to do as he was told.

With that taken care of Aragorn started to put on his armor for the upcoming battle. After all it just wasn't befitting of the prince of Gondor to go to battle looking like he was poor.

As he finished putting his armor on he grabbed his sword which had been passed down to him from his father who had used it to fight in the last war they had had with Mordor. His father had been so proud that day a year ago when he accepted the sword along with his first commission as an officer in the navy. At the time the fellowship had not been the flag ship for his country's navy. No at that time it had just been built. It wasn't until about three months ago after a large skirmish with a couple of different ships from Mordor that they had managed to show the king that the ship was more worthy that the current flag ship which had been his father's ship back when he was an officer. Even now Aragorn couldn't do anything other than find pride for his men for that battle.

Stepping back onto the deck Aragorn was immediately caught up in the middle of ten knights who Eomer had set to defend him for the battle to come. This only made Aragorn smile as he walked up the stairs to the aft deck to look out at the sea of faces looking back at him with apprehension. "MEN WE WILL SOON BE UNDER ATTACK, AND I EXPECT YOU ALL TO FIGHT AS WELL AS I KNOW YOU CAN. THIS IS TO SAY, YOU MUST FIGHT FOR YOUR VERY LIVES! WE ARE OUTNUMBERED 100 SHIPS TO 1, BUT THIS WILL NOT STOP US WE WILL MAKE IT BACK TO GONDOR AND THERE WE WILL SET DEFEND OUR COUNTRY, AND OUR HOMES MEN.

WHEN WE START FIGHTING I WANT YOU ALL TO THINK ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS YOUR FAMILIES, AND YOUR FUTURES ALL OF THAT IS AT STAKE RIGHT NOW!

WILL YOU ACCEPT THAT!" as he finished Aragorn was almost deafened by the roar of his men as they all shouted back a resounding no. "WILL YOU SIT DOWN AND LET THEM KILL YOU?

"NO YOU WILL NOT FOR THAT IS NOT YOUR DESTINY MEN NO YOURS IS A GREAT DESTINY WHERE YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED AS HERO'S FOR WHAT YOU DO THIS DAY. SO STAND MEN, STAND SO THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD MAY SEE WHAT IT IS YOU DO THIS DAY!" As he finished his speech Aragorn turned away to look behind him at the armada that was closing in on them as they raced back to Gondor. However, he could not make it to the back of the ship fast enough to avoid the massive roar that rocked the ship in response to his rallying cry.

As he heard the cries behind him of absolute dedication, and courage Aragorn felt his heart lift. Then he opened his eyed to see the fleet that was coming after them, only to nearly freeze when he saw just how close they actually were behind him. "Damn" he muttered "MEN LOAD THE CANNONS!" Aragorn yelled over his shoulder as he continued looking at the ships following them.

"They'll be on us in the hour" said Eomer as he walked up to his prince's shoulder.

"I know, I know." Aragorn muttered to him. "Tell me though, how long do you think before reinforcements arrive?"

"Well depending on when you called for them, maybe another hour or two." Eomer replied with a slight nod seeing where this was going.

"Is there a chance that we might be able to keep moving even after they catch up?" Aragorn wondered aloud.

"We can do it my lord, but it will be risky, and it will require a lot of determination. We will sustain more damage most likely than if we sat and let them surround us. This way we will be in open water for longer while they bomb us from a distance. Now we won't be able build a wall of ships between us and others. If we just sail until we get back to Gondor the enemy will simply be able to continually attack us despite what we do to them." Eomer responded looking a little sadder as he looked back to all of them men on the ship many he knew would not make it out of the coming fight alive if they tried to do what Aragorn was suggesting they do.

"It is the only way we will be of any help in the battle that follows us like a plague now." Aragorn said to his knight commander. "Tell the men that no matter what we are to keep sailing for Gondor." As Eomer went to do as he was told he was stopped by his prince once again. "Eomer you do realize that this is the only way? Right?" as he finished Eomer realized that Aragorn was just as upset about the loss of life that was about to happen as he was.

Without looking over his shoulder he simply said, "Yes captain." Though, he realized before he had even finished the statement that he had not said it loud enough for Aragorn to hear.

Eomer just continued walking away. He knew things would start soon, and he knew the men would need to see their captains plan to save their lives put into action.

Aragorn took note of the silence though for what it was; a silent prayer to whatever deity was listening. So, Aragorn found himself sending out a silent prayer to heaven as he realized that he would most likely be a key target in the battle to come. This did not go unnoticed by his knight around him either as they realized that their job may actually be tougher than they had originally thought it was going to be.

It was at this moment that one of the rangers up in the rigging screamed, "I SEE THEM! THEY'LL BE ON US WITHIN THE HOUR CAPTAIN! THEY MUST BE USING DARK MAGIC SIR THEY MOVING TO FAST FOR IT TO BE NORMAL!" Aragorn just groaned knowing that before too long the ranger would be able to see how many ships were behind them as well.

He was not let down when a few seconds later that same scout was heard crying out a warning to everyone "Lads may God help us all there's more of them than I have ever seen before in my life!"

Aragorn knew he had to say something before the men started to panic at this. So stepping up to the railing he yelled out "MEN KEEP YOUR COOL. YOU ARE SAILORS AND SOLDIERS OF GONDOR! AND AS SUCH YOU MUST SHOW THEM THAT WE WILL NOT FAIL TO DEFEND OUR BORDERS!" As he finished saying this he turned back to watch the approaching ships knowing that if he appeared calm his men to would remain calm. All he had to do was stand where his men could see him.

He was caught by mild surprise though when the same ranger who had been shouting a minute ago appeared at his side. "What do you need soldier?" He questioned the man who stood there.

"Captain the leading ship has a devil fruit user on board." The man whispered as he rose from his kneeling position.

"What, How do you know?"

"Simple captain; while I was watching I saw the lord of Mordor walk up to the front of the ship while standing there he grew another three feet and black armor grew out of his skin. He is also wielding a mace as large as my head sir. I've never seen the like of it before either." The ranger explained to Aragorn.

"What's your name soldier, and where away from us is the flag ship?" Aragorn asked while looking the soldier in his eyes to show the soldier he respected his information.

"Well sir my name is Leif sir, and the enemies flag ship is directly behind us, though they are catching up fast sir." replied the now named ranger as he bowed before his prince.

"Well Leif return to your post, and prepare yourself for battle. We will need everyone where they should be if we are going to survive this and make it back to Gondor's borders." Aragorn said as he started walking towards the back of his ship to see what the man was talking about.

When he got there though, he was caught by surprise as he saw what Leif had been talking about. Before his eyes stood a massive man in black armor, that was full of ridges to catch an opponent's weapons, and to cause damage no matter what part of his body he used against his opponents. In the man's right hand he held a large mace made out of the same metal as the armor. However, this was not the most frightening part of the man that stood before Aragorn's eyes. No, the most frightening part was the fact that both of man's eyes were glowing red dots in the face plate of his armor. That coupled with the black fog that seemed to just roll off of the man.

Aragorn's face faulted seeing this kind of an opponent following behind them, and the only thing he managed to say as he looked back at his men was, "Crap this is gonna be a hell of a lot harder than I had originally thought."

It was then that he looked back to Gondor to see if there was any help headed their way yet. He knew even as he turned to look that he wouldn't see anything it was too soon for there to be any responders. However, his eyes were met with a sight that made his heart jump for joy when he saw three ships floating out of the harbor to and turning their broadsides to the incoming fleet to start shooting as soon as they came within range.

Smiling ruefully Aragorn called out, "Legolas remind me to by Commander Elrond and his boys some drinks if we survive this."

At first Legolas was curious about Aragorn's statement, because he didn't see a reason for him to buy them drinks. It was then that he turned to look at Gondor's shores, and caught sight of the same ships Aragorn had seen just seconds before them. He laughed he couldn't help it "Aye captain" he yelled after his mirth had settled down enough for him to manage. Even as he watched he saw several more ships nearly at the mouth of the harbor as well. "It seems you'll have to buy for more than just them though captain." Legolas called out again as he turned back to Aragorn on the other side of the ship.

Looking at him funny Aragorn called out, "What do you mean Legolas? What is it your elf eyes see?"

"They are not the only ones captain," Legolas informed him, "there are maybe another twenty ships nearly there as well. I see King Dain and his dwarves are nearly caught up to him, as well as the Lady Galadriel and her elves, as well King Theoden. Each of them is bringing their own Squadron out to the fight. We may yet survive this if we can just make it back to them."

"Though that is a far cry from what's probably going to happen." added the elfish prince so quietly that no one else heard him."

Gimli was getting tired of waiting he had heard all of the commotion on deck, but he and his dwarves had been stuck down here to take care of the firing the guns in the ship. It was not where the dwarf wanted to be. He absolutely loved getting his hands dirty when there was a battle to be had. Which, is to say he really wanted to be standing on the deck above getting ready to plant his axe into one of those dirty corsairs heads, or if they weren't cowering in the back of the fleet he might get his hands on a few of those damn easterling's that were such a nuisance. It was for naught though because his dwarves were definitely the fastest at firing the canons on the ship. Gimli had seen to it that they were.

"Steady lads we'll get to see plenty of action soon enough." Just make sure you're already ta reload when the time comes. We'll need to be at 110 percent today lads if not you can kiss your fannies goodbye, and I don't know about you all but I really like me fanny where it's at now." This of course got the laughs that he had been expecting it too, for even though the men knew that he wasn't joking about the seriousness of the situation, they knew he was keeping the men from getting too stressed out waiting for the enemy by making some idle chatter. This of course had the intended effect as all the dwarves there started to talk and laugh with and at each other, a few even going so far as to challenge each other for the coming battle.

Seeing that the men were now more at ease Gimli went up to the top of the deck to see what was going on, and how long they had before the enemy caught up to them. He was mildly surprised to see the men on the deck having a good time as well. Looking over his shoulder he saw Aragorn standing on the aft deck watching the enemy's approach, while Legolas was on the fore deck watching their progress.

Deciding he wanted to talk to Aragorn before the upcoming battle in case anything went wrong Gimli started making his way to him. He was almost there when he caught a quick peek at what his friend was looking at for there over his shoulder was a giant man wearing black ridged armor with spikes sticking out of it. Then he saw the mace in the man's hand. "Well this is goin ta be a lot harder than I had originally thought it was goin ta be." Said Gimli more to himself than to anyone else around him, though he was heard by Eomer who's only thought on the subject was how right the dwarf was on that one.

"Aragorn what's tha plan for this one? It does na look good for us this time."

"Gimli we already went over the plan for this, we do everything in our power to get back to our reinforcements before we are sunk, or surrounded by the enemy. Speaking of which shouldn't you be below decks with your men getting ready to blow the enemy out of the water?" Aragorn replied.

"Well I did na know if plans had changed seeing as how we are now being followed by the scariest looking man I ever seen in me life." Gimli said as he chuckled at how cut and dry the situation seemed with Aragorn in charge. "You come a long way lad from when ya first became tha captain, ya know that Aragorn."

"Yes master Gimli I know that. As for the plan it has not changed, the man you see before you is a devil fruit user that is why he is nine feet tall. We can still take him if we stick to the plan, and don't let him close we will engage him from a distance and sink his ship before it ever catches up to us. If we can just stay ahead of them for about the next twenty minutes we should be able to make it back to our lines and prepare for battle there." As he said this though, Aragorn turned back to look his friend in the eye.

Gimli saw the hope in his friends eyes and was about to respond when he saw the ship behind them drop another sail that he hadn't seen before. With the sail dropping he also noticed that the ship started to sail faster. "Aragorn I hate to break it to you, but I do na think that we are goin ta make it out of this one without a fight." Gimli stated as he pointed to the ship so Aragorn knew what he was talking about.

Turning to see what was going on Aragorn saw the ship had gained speed thought he did not notice why like Gimli. "Crap!" he said as he turned back to his men and yelled, "EVERYONE GET READY BECAUSE THEY WILL BE ON US IN THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES!"

Within a few seconds he could hear the men on the other ship as they yelled back and forth.

"Captain," Gimli said getting Aragorn's attention "we need to turn our broadside to them, if we don't they'll just sweep right by us blowing holes into our side."

"Well master dwarf what do you suggest we do? We can't exactly stop on a beli in a ship this big." Aragorn said with a frustrated sigh as he realized that his plan may have cost his men more lives than he had originally planned.

"You just leave that ta me lad, go and have the men turn the ship to the starboard side, ok?" Gimli said with a half a smile.

"I don't know what you're planning, but this had better work otherwise we may end up just getting rammed in the side of the ship, and providing them a way onto the ship." However, despite what he said Aragorn still turned, and gave the command for the men to turn the ship as he was asked. By the time he had turned around he saw Gimli down in the middle of the ship passing Boromir while yelling over his shoulder to get his men ready on the right side of the ship. This piqued Aragorn's interest as he now watched the dwarf's progress to the front right part of the ship towards where their anchor was. As that thought crossed his mind Aragorn realized what was about to happen, and yelled out to his men, "brace yourselves lads we're turning hard to starboard! anyone who can strap something down do it!"

With that done Aragorn immediately ran to the nearest rail and latched on for dear life. He was followed a moment later by everyone else that saw his actions. As it continued one man had the decency to go to the hatch below decks and worn them before it was too late for them as well. In a half joking manner Aragorn turned to the knight that was next to him and said in a half joking manner "Remind me to give that man a raise." he chuckled as they watched the man attempt to make it back to the railing before the ship made the sudden turn.

Sadly he didn't make it, about a third of the way back to the railing the ship all of a sudden made a ninety degree turn on what seemed like a gold coin. Along with that was the accompanying sound of cracking, and shattering wood. Though, that would be very prominent in the time that was coming. Looking to make sure the man was ok, Aragorn saw him sliding across the ground back towards the center of the ship, and then even further as he then started sliding towards the port side though by this point he was not alone.

After about a half a minute of this, the ship finally stopped its turn at which point Aragorn got up turned to his men and yelled, "EVERYONE TAKE AIM." At this every gun above and below decks was aimed at the now very close ship that was only about half way through its own turn. Smiling Aragorn turned back to his crew and with the biggest smile he had had all day yelled "FIRE AT WILL!" at which point everyone on the ship went deaf as every one of the over fifty cannons on that side of the ship let forth their explosive balls of death.

Ok so I just wanted to try this and see if it works out. I find that One Piece is just the perfect world to end up sending anyone to. So here it is the first ever Lord of the Rings/ One Piece crossover. I got the idea from animemaster's story a pirate's life. Though, I am changing it for the lord of the rings.

This is just my outlook on what the world of One Piece would be like if Lord of the Rings Characters were in it too.

Ok so there is chapter one I know that this is not the ideal place to cut it off, but hey this wasn't the plan honestly. I actually wrote most of chapter two as chapter one. It was only after it reached 10 k words that I might have gone overboard a little bit, so chapter will quite literally pick up right where this chapter left off since I did not delete it I only moved it to a different word document.

I'm a pretty traditional man so most of the pairings will stay the same, I will probably ad a few oc's in throughout the story for the members of the crew that don't actually have a romantic partner. If you have any oc's to suggest for this story please let me know. I will need to come up with a lot of villains for this story since all the bad guys from lord of the rings will end up being on the villain's ship when it is made, and they become pirates.

Other than that please read, and review, I know there aren't many people who look at this section so if you do please review. Just so I know who all is reading, and what I can do to make the story more interesting for you.
