Luffy was bored out of his mind. They had been sailing for the past week and already, it seemed like he was out of things to entertain him. It wasn't just he who felt this way. Everyone else seemed to be getting a bit stir crazy.
This was just ridiculous. He was the captain after all. Was it not his duty to make sure his crew was happy? With that thought, Luffy jumped up from his position on the head of the Sunny and began to frantically scour the ship for anything that might help banish the doldrums.
Luffy may not have realized it, but he was like a tornado. He left behind a trail of destruction and chaos wherever he searched. First, he ran down to the bottom deck where the docking system was. There were some cool things down there, maybe he could find something there. No such luck. Nothing sparked his interest.
Next, Luffy ran up one deck, to the men's quarters. He bounced around the room frantically searching. He checked in Usopp's special chest marked keep out. Even though Usopp put that sign on there, it never stopped Luffy. He was always sneaking a peak into it. How could he resist. Secret was fun, but not this time.
On to the Aquarium! Wait, Sanji never let him mess with the fish. He thought he better stay clear today. Onward! As he placed his hand on the door knob to the women's quarters his mind flashed back to a few days earlier. Nami was yelling at him about barging into the room after he walked in on her and Robin in their lounge clothes, talking. Luffy stuck his hand under his hat and rubbed. Nami had hit him after that "talk." It still kind of hurt.
He didn't want a repeat of that conversation, so he proceeded to rummage around the second deck a bit, making sure to stop off at the pantry. Dammit! Why did he always forget that Sanji kept a lock in the pantry? It was so unfair.
Luffy plopped down at the kitchen table with a huff. He couldn't find anything to do! How could be call himself a great captain if he couldn't even spice things up for his crew. "If only there were something that could tell me fun things to do." He grumbled.
It was then that an idea hit him like a beach ball to the head. "A BOOK!" Luffy shouted. "I'm sure there is a book in the library that can help me."
Like a whirlwind, Luffy was out of the kitchen and into the library in seconds. He proceeded to rummage through the shelves, discarding the "un fun" books over his shoulder. There just had to be something within the thousands of books in the Mugiwara library.
Weather Patterns In the East Blue? No.
Usopp's fables? No.
A Swordsman's Guide to great Swords? Nope.
A Practical Practicum of Practically Perfect Remedies? Huh? NO!
He climbed the rolly ladder and took out more titles.
Famous Composers Of the Grand Line? Huh-uh.
Turmoil Of the Tempest? Definitely not fun!
Schematics of the Sea? Nope.
500 Delicious Recipes For The Expert Chef? YUM!
Drool began to run out of the corner of Luffy's mouth. This book sounded amazing! Luffy clutched the book with both hands and thought of so many meat dishes, completely forgetting that he was standing on a ladder high above the floor. One on wheels at that. Needless to say, he lost his footing and flew to the ground, causing the ladder to roll violently away from him and into a bookshelf. Not just any bookshelf, Robin's neatly organized and cherished bookshelf.
All of Robin's books fell to the ground with a thud of such magnitude, it shook the entire ship. One of the books, a hardback with quite an interesting cover, came crashing down upon Luffy's head. The crew rushed through the door to see what had happened. Everyone stared, wide eyed, at the destruction before them. "LUFFY!" Nami yelled. "WHAT HAPPENED?"
Luffy picked up the hardback book and looked down at the front of it. He noticed the word 'game' was written in calligraphy. A gigantic grin formed on his face, then he spoke. "Guys, I know what we're going to do today!"
