Hello there! I'm Monkey D. Luffy's boshi! It's not easy to be the boshi on a kaizoku's head; moreover, the head of a wanted one at that!

I've been on so many adventures with the Sencho of the Mugiwara-Kaizoku! Here's a special story that I'll share that made me feel protected by my owner.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The story begins on the happy Going-Merry as I'm on my owner's head.

Clouds loll by as the sky is bustling with flocks of small birds. Seagulls chirp about before landing on the crows-nest to stop and take a small break. Sea lions bark for their friends to move away from the ship before they get hit by the impact.
Today was a fine day for me and my Sencho.

The rest of the crew thought so too!

Sanji was cooking up some dinner; it was so very late, as he flirted with our navigator and the archaeologist. Sanji was just usual around me, but he stepped him and saved me when I was lost.

Nami, the navigator, played along with the flirts for awhile before stepping in when Sanji said something. She smiled at Nico Robin before looking at the sky. Nami patched me up a lot!

Nico Robin, the archaeologist, smiled in a motherly tone before looking at her book again about ancient writings. She used her Hana-Hana no Mi skill to pick their small, yet useful doctor. Robin was kind to me.

Tony-Tony Chopper was being held by Robin's Devil Fruit powers, so he wouldn't fall over to retrieve Usopp's sniper shooter. The little blue-nosed reindeer smiled before graciously thanking Robin as he ran down to where he admired his friend. Chopper had helped patch me up sometimes while I look at his medical books.

Usopp was making new things with his artistic quality, and his temporary craftsmen stuff. He loved to make stuff, and he looked at his newest craft he made from Skypiean clay. It looked like clouds, but it still was clay, making it very peculiar. It was a figurine of Kaya, a girl back at Syrup Village. A reminder to the maker of the Going Merry was what it was. Usopp looked at the door to see small Chopper, holding his sniper shooter. There were so many times he had shot me in the head with his slingshot!

Roronoa Zoro was lounging about the Going Merry, napping anyplace and anywhere away from the ero-cook. He was the first-mate and swordsman of the Mugiwara-Kaizoku's ship. He was very in love with booze, and he certainly had bad taste in directions. Once time in Drum Kingdom, he went for a swim in 15 degrees water, with only black pants and no shirt! He went up and down the river, finally getting out seeing that he was lost. He is very loyal and trusting to Monkey D. Luffy. I admire him for that.

Merry loved us all equally. I could sense her smiling at us, when we got back on and headed to another adventure about. But something was killing me the most; Merry's physical body was very creaky as of late. I wonder what's going down.

Then there was Monkey D. Luffy, Sencho of the Mugiwara-Kaizoku's Going Merry, sitting on the ram's head. It was his favorite seat, mentioned with the run in with Laboon. Luffy was just staring at the sea in boredom since Sanji kicked him out for eating Nami's and Robin's éclairs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A shadow loomed over us, making me look up. It wasn't hard since I was just a hat. I saw a large mass only 5 feet above us, flying about in the clouds. It was rather large for a bird.

'It maybe a bird.' I thought, resuming my original boredom sleeping. Yeah, I was just like Zoro. I found sleeping very relaxing since I can't speak human nor they could hear me and reply back.

I jolted awake when a large caw startled me. Next thing I knew, I was about 10000 miles up in the air! The large bird was gripping me in its large razor sharp talons! I began to yell even though no one could hear me, trying to scare the bird.

Dude, I was so scared! What would you do!?

From my view, it was a large Akane Skyeen hawk! It was the size of a spinosaurous! Its red body's feathers shined as its long spikey tail had two dark blue spikes protruding from the end. Golden yellow beak had held a set of two long black canines to grapple its prey with.

I desperately thrashed against his hold unaware of the Gumo-kid approaching fast! Yes, I was really oblivious like my owner!

"GUMO-GUMO NO PISTOL!" shouted my savior's voice.

I smiled as tears fell down my invisible eyes. Hey, I did have eyes you can't see them though. They're like ninja eyes, hidden in the dark. The impact was harder than I had expected!

Dude, Luffy never had done this before. IT SCARED ME!

The bird cried out in pain and dropped me as I plummeted down to the Red Sea! Strong hands grabbed my rim as I waited to be back on the Going Merry with everyone!

I smiled at Monkey D. Luffy in thankfulness while I was on his head. "Arigato, Luffy-kun." I whispered, even though he wouldn't hear me.

"You're welcome, boshi."
