In that case, I'll need to disguise myself as something small that can hold a remote activator and that Luffy won't try to eat (so most sea creatures are out of the question) Any ideas?

In plain sight. Cargo bay is a risky possibility, but the fact remains you have to find a way to feed yourself and find water. If your in the ocean, chances are people will notice if it goes missing, and there will be a search.
If they are coast hugging, it will be rather easier, but on a small ship you will likely have trouble. As they are pirates, there is likely a hidey hole beneath the floorboards or in a similar hard to discover area where they keep valuable cargo, but it depends how often they check on it, and the aforementioned issue of supplying yourself.
All in all, I would recommend your best chance is some sort of disguise. If you can't make them open up to you, pretend to be someone they can't dislodge, either out of fear or respect.
- It is a tough question.

I dunno. But really there shouldn't be much of a problem as long as nobody actually runs into the agents and they're not being excessively loud, due to the cloaking effect of the SEP field and the canon being helpful.
I like the small disguises idea, though. If ridiculously large disguises can be done (e.g. dragons), then there's no reason ridiculously small ones (rats?) can't. Plus, massive potential for humor in trying to use equipment which may or may not also have shrunk, not be stepped on, etc.

Maybe you could disguise yourself as something inanimate, like a barrel? Or you could somehow shrink. Smallness is the next best to invisibility, for stealth.
Best I've got off of the top of my head.

If I am to do any missions in the one piece universe, I will have to spend the majority of the mission aboard the going merry/thousand sunny. Both are small/medium sized pirate ships with a crew of 9 at the most. The rooms will be small and yet I will have to find away to hide from view of OCs while still being able to spy on them while wirting charges
(I found a fic where the sue had a rather awkward bath with zoro and don't know how you would tackle that one) The Straw Hat pirates rarely have any strangers aboard their ship so simply disguising myself wouldn't work, and I would probably be attacked by the entire crew if I was detected. Any suggestions?

I've got some tablet work online, but it really isn't my best stuff. (I work better in real mediums.) I can link you some samples of my pencil/ink stuff in a few days, when I get access to a scanner.

Good to know. I'll probably just write something entirely new.

Is it cool if it's a piece of writing I already did? I've got a story I think could work.
I guess that might count as on the back-burner, just wanted to know for sure.

Okay, cool. I've read a bunch of the links in preparation, but it is good to have all of 'em right here.
Sorry about the double posting thing, will not happen again!

And no more rhymes now, I mean it. {; p
Let's see... it doesn't look like you've been hit with a Bag o' Links yet, so I'll give you some. First, if you have not done so, you should read the PPC Board Constitution, which we expect everyone to abide by when interacting with the community. After that, you should also read the Wiki article about Permission if you want to write PPC stories. Other helpful writings can be found by looking through the PPC Intro Pages tab on aforementioned Wiki. Finally, you should absolutely take the time to read the Original Series (not to be confused with Star Trek), since it is essentially our canon material and sets the tone for what we do and how we do it.
So much for required reading. I personally recommend the contents of the PPC Lost Tales archive, since it is the only place to see some of the things written contemporarily with the OS since GeoCities fell through the Veil. (I also maintain the site, so please let me know if you spot any errors or want to help out!) I also recommend the Official Fanfiction University of Middle-earth and, since you're a Potter fan, the Hogwarts Fanfiction Academy. The OFUs are separate from the PPC, but there is a long history of friendship between them and us, and therefore many in-jokes traded back and forth.
I also notice that you are an artist. Are you on deviantART, by any chance? You'll find me at http://neshomeh.deviantart.com, if you're interested.
On a semi-related note, making multiple threads in a row is discouraged, since it pushes old threads off the bottom of the page, making them more difficult to access. If there is already a thread where your new post would fit (in this case, this one), we'd prefer you put it there. {= )
But that's enough for now. I'm neglecting my own writing challenge (see down-page), so I shall be getting back to that.
Welcome!

Woot! Scarf and lifesaving device in one, plus...SUGAR! (Do you have a six-armed agent or something?) As to TV shows... Avatar: The Last Airbender and a couple of animes; Black Lagoon, Death Note, and... bugger all, I think that may be it that I can beta honestly.

Also thought I'd mention that I'm an art student and as such can be called upon to do drawings for you guys. The speed at which said drawings are done might vary due to hectic schedule, but still. Just so you know.

Good ol' Alatar and Pallando are never heard of again. I have a vague memory of Tolkien discussing the possibility of them leading resistance to Sauron in the far east of Middle Earth, or whether they too fell from their mission, but nothing definitive is ever mentioned about them.

I know, but they are never mentioned (the two missing ones, anyway). Even in Unfinished tales they only get a brief mention, and that's only to say they vanished after they went to confront Sauron.
