Monkey D. Luffy sat next to his newest crewmate, Roronoa Zoro,

"Man, I'm hungry." Luffy pouted looking around

"Oh look a bird lets eat it!"

"Damn it! Luffy!" Zoro shouted at seeing his captain jump at the bird before getting caught by in its beak.

"Damn," Luffy said, within the beak of a large seagull

*BOOM*

Luffy saw that his 'ride' had been hit by a cannonball, causing it to let go of him,

"WAAHOO!" Luffy shouted as he fell to the ground, when the smoke cleared he looked around to see a pretty redhead on his right and three men on his left,

"D-Did he just falls from the sky?"

The redhead took this as a chance from god

"Boss, you came to help me! I'll let you take care of them," said the redhead, before running away,

Luffy looked back to see three swords coming down on him

"INSPIRED BY ZORO!" Luffy shouted catching two swords in his hand ad the third in his mouth, causing the pirates eyes to bulge

"WHAT THE HELL?!" This was all they could say before being knocked out by a strike to the back of the head, they fell down allowing Luffy to see Orange with a wooden staff out

"Um, thanks for the save," she said "My names Nami," Luffy grinned

"Monkey D. Luffy, nice to meet you," he said before falling on the floor

"Hey you okay?" Nami asked worried fo the person who saved her life

"Yeah... just need some food," he said getting a sweatdrop from Nami

"Uh, I can get you some food, if you want?" Nami asked

"FOOD!"

To just after Nami lights the cannon

Luffy stared at the cannon with a confident grin on his face, Nami looked away unwilling to see the death of someone she just met,

The cannon fired.

And when the smoke cleared, Luffy was standing with a grin on his face, his clothes the only thing damaged, just a few rips here and there,

"W-WHAT?! WHAT ARE YOU?!" Nami was staring at Luffy with hope, I mean if he could survive a cannonball to the face maybe he could keep the promise he made her...

Flashback

"Nami a can I ask about that tattoo on your arm?" Nami froze at that, causing Luffy to frown,

"Someone hurt you... didn't they," it wasn't a question

"Nami I'm willing to help you, after all, nobody on this planet can stand up to the might of a Saiyan," Nami felt her heart flutter at his caring smile, but she had one thought running through her head,

'What's a Saiyan?'

Flashback

Luffy dusted off his hat,

"Names Monkey D. Luffy I"m a Saiyan," he said before grabbing Nami's hand and dragging her towards where he sensed Zoro

"Shishishi! Let's go!" the two ran until they ran into Zoro, who promptly smacked Luffy upside the head

"Damn it Luffy! Why'd you have to go and get caught by a bird, ya dumbass!" Luffy simply grinned

"It seemed like a good Idea at the time," he said shrugging getting a sweatdrop from the other two.
