Summary: the boy who fell in the world of one piece
Our story starts off with a boy named Monkey D. Luffy who was drifting along in a tiny sail boat enjoying the good weather while the waves took him were they pleased. Luffy was a seventeen year old boy with a dream to become king of the pirates.
"Wow, what a nice day," Said Luffy to himself. He was wearing a straw hat as well as a button up red vest, with a pair of blue shorts, and a simple pair of sandals. "The weather sure was nice. Who'd thought this voyage would end in disaster so soon."
In front of Luffy was a giant whirl pool, it was already pulling his tiny boat in. "Hard to believe I'm getting sucked into this giant whirlpool, maybe I was a little careless. I could really use some help but there's no one around. Oh well, I guess it can't be helped."
Despite Luffy about to be sucked into a whirlpool, he seemed to be fine with it. "Down I go," Said Luffy. "Too bad I can't swim. Oh wait, I just remembered, in a giant whirlpool it doesn't really matter if you can swim or not," Said Luffy as he began to sink with his tiny boat never to be seen again.

Later on
On a remote island, a pirate ship was anchored. The pirate ship was feminine looking with pink paint, hearts on the sails, with a swan figurehead. The skull and crossbones flag that they're ship featured, showed the flag in a profile view with a heart on the side of its head.
"Why is there so much dust on my ship?" questioned the ship's female captain.
"S-Sorry about that, miss Alvida. I thought I've already cleaned the whole deck," said a nameless pirate while trying to apologize. "I…I'll clean it again, so… so please don't…" Said the nameless pirate before being cut off by the captain.
"Don't do what" Asked Alvida with a stern look.
"Please don't hit me with your Iron Mace! I don't want to die!" Screamed the man in fear. Wham! Alvida swung her mace and connected with the pirate's back head. The pirate fell to the ground unconscious in a bloody heap.
"Coby!" shouted Alvida as she turned to a young man who name was Coby. Coby was a small, timid, chubby boy with pink hair and round-frame glasses wearing a white shirt, and black pants. The boy seemed out of place on the swan shaped pirate ship. "Who is the most beautiful woman of all the seas," Asked Alvida.
"Eh…Eh He-he-he of course that'll be…That'll be you, Alvida. Eh He-He-He," Replied the nervous boy, afraid of what Alvida might do to him.
"That's right! And that's why I absolutely hate dirty things! So I don't want the slightest bit of dust on my ship! Do you understand me," asked Alvida with a glare.
"I only let you live because you know more about navigation than the others," Said Alvida as she looked down at coby.
"Y…Yes ma'am. Your very kind," Replied still a nerves Coby.
"But other than that, you're still useless! Now shine, my shoes," Snarled Alvida as she slammed her foot down on a small crate.
"Y…Yes Right away Ma'am," agreed Coby as he quickly went to work. Alvida was a very obese woman with freckles on her cheeks. She had long, black wavy flowing hair and she wore a pink shirt with lined designs, a red neckerchief under it and a blue captain's coat over it with the arms in the sleeves. Around her waist, she had a purple sash with a flintlock pistol tucked in it and some jewels, and she had red painted fingernails, only on longer and sharper nails, paired with some rings. She sported red lipstick. She also wore a white cowboy hat with a red plumage and a light-green band around it, grayish pants and red, long pointed shoes with buckles on them.
"Keep cleaning and don't leave any dust behind," said Alvida, as she commanded the pirates to do her biding.
"Aye aye!" Said the pirates as they got to work to clean the ship.
"That's enough," Snapped Alvida as she kicked Coby away with her foot, Bam! "You're pathetic," Stated Alvida.
"S…Sorry," Said Coby while apologizing.
"If you have time to apologize, why don't you go clean the washroom," said Alvida while placing her mace on her shoulder.
"Yes Ma'am, I'll be on my way," Stated Coby with a smile. Coby then walked off to carry out his task.
-P-
A while later Alvida's ship was docked and the pirates were now unloading their stolen treasures into Alvida's Safe house. Coby who was now rolling a heavy barrel around.
"What? Your saying that barrel of sake rolled up on shore," Asked a pirate.
"Ye… yes. There seems to be something inside it, what should we do with it?" Asked Coby.
"Great! we should drink it together," said a Pirate.
"But, If the captain finds out…," explained another pirate.
"She won't find out, were the only ones that know about this," said one of the nameless pirates.
"Your right," Said the other pirate. Then one of the pirates turned to Coby with a glare. "And you ant seen nothing, right Coby?" questioned the pirate.
"R-right! I didn't see anything," Agreed Coby. As the three pirates got close to the barrel, one of them reached to open it when all of a sudden.
Ka-Blash! All of a sudden the barrel suddenly busted open with luffy knocking out one of the pirates shouting. "Ahhhhhhh, what a nice nap that was," shouted Luffy with a happy expression on his face.
"Looks like I'm saved, for a minute there I thought I was going to die. Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha," Laughed Luffy. It was then Luffy took a pause and noticed he was being watched by three pirates and a kid.
"Who the hell are you guys?" Asked luffy bluntly.
"That's our line!" Shouted the three pirates together. "Why would someone be coming out a wine barrel?" Asked a pirate, when suddenly, Crash! Alvida iron mace came crashing through the wall knocking the whole building down, with Alvida shouting.
"Stop slacking off!" Shouted Alvida while kicking the barrel Luffy was still in. the barrel was sent rolling into the forest, with Coby chasing after it, while the three pirates were left on the ground grumbling with Lady Alvida standing over them
"Tell me what's the most beautiful thing in all the seas?" Asked Alvida with a threating glare.
"That'll be you for sure, miss Alvida," Said one of the three pirates in fear.
"Good! Then why are you trying to disobey me?" Asked Alvida with a glare.
"N…No miss Alvida, we never do something like that," Said one of the pirates with his hand up in fear.
"Don't play dumb with me! I heard you guys say what a nice nap that was! All the way from the ship," Said Alvida.
"Ah… wait, that wasn't us, that was that kid," Said one of the pirates as he remembered the straw hat wearing boy.
"Yeah, it was that strange kid Coby brought with him," Said another pirate who also remembered the straw hat boy.
"What…? Could it be a bounty hunter who's trying to catch me and get the reward…? …Coby that brat dares to be tray me?" wondered Alvida.
"Could it be him? That Famous…" Said one of the three pirates before being cut off.
"Nonsense! I heard he's still being held captive at the marine's base," said one of the pirates. "It's impossible!"
"Wait what about that other famous bounty hunter, Raven…," Said one of the pirates before being cut off by his friend. "Wait! You don't mean Raven, the human Devil fruit do you?" asked the pirate.
"Oh man, I hope it's not him either. He's just as scary as Zoro himself. Maybe even scaryer," Said one of the pirates in fear, while thinking of an evil shadowy image of Raven smirking.
"Yeah, I heard he had strange abilities to, like being able to turn his body into the wind and freeze time itself," said one of the three pirates, while thinking of an shadowy image of Raven while using the powers he explained in order.
"Either it's that evil Roronoa Zoro, or that Devil Raven, either way there both bad news for us." explained Alvida with the three pirates nodding in agreement.
-P-
A little while away Coby was talking with the person who actually came out of the barrel, and this guy definitely wasn't a pirate hunter.
"Are you alright? Did you get hurt? You got knocked pretty far," Said Coby with a hint of worry in his voice.
"Ha-Ha-Ha," laughed Luffy who was still in the barrel. "I'm fine, just a little dizzy. That's all. I'm luffy by the way, mind telling me what is this place," Asked Luffy.
"This is a hiding ground of the pirate Iron mace Alvida, I'm a caretaker on the ship. My name is Coby," explained Coby while introducing himself.
"I see, actually, that's not important," Said Luffy as he pulled himself out of the barrel
"Oh… I see," Said Coby with a sweat drop. Luffy was so blunt but yet kind at the same time.
"Do you have a small boat? Mine got caught in a whirlpool," explained luffy with a smile. Coby was shocked at the information about Luffy being sucked into the whirlpool and even more shocked that he had survived.
"Whirlpool… you were caught in a whirlpool?" Asked Coby still shocked about the incident.
"Yea, that whirlpool was scary," Said Luffy while remembering the whole thing.
"Wow Luffy, a normal person would've died already," Said Coby. "You said you needed a small boat? Well, I have one, but…" Said Coby with a pause.
Coby had taken luffy to see his boat he had built by himself. "What's this? A coffin?" Asked Luffy who was unimpressed by the boat. "It's a boat I built secretly for two years," explained Coby.
"You spent two years on this? What, you don't want it anymore?" asked Luffy bluntly.
"No," answered Coby, "I don't want it anymore. I was going to use it to escape, but I don't have the guts to do it. I'm going to be a caretaker for the rest of my life. Even though I do have something else I want to do."
"Then leave," Stated Luffy bluntly without a care.
"No, I can't!" Refused Coby, "when I think about Lady Alvida finding out, my legs lose feeling. I get so scared. That day I wanted to go fishing, but I winded up walking on to her ship. In the end I winded up becoming there cabin boy on their ship for the past two years so I could stay alive."
"Hahaha! You're a coward," laughed Luffy, "I really hate people like you," Finished Luffy while laughing.
Coby at first sweat drop at Luffy's harsh words, But in the end he realized Luffy was right. He was nothing but a coward and nothing more. "Your right," Admitted Coby, "If only I was brave. Hey Luffy what's your dream?" asked Coby.
"My dream… is to be king of the pirates!" Shouted Luffy proudly.
"What!" shouted Coby in shock, "The pirate king is supposed to be the person who has attained everything this world has to offer. Are you telling me you're looking for Gold Roger's treasure one piece? Do you want to die or something? All the pirates in the world are looking for that treasure!"
"Well, so am I," replied Luffy, Luffy didn't really care about the other pirates.
"Impossible, impossible!" shrieked Coby, "Absolutely impossible! Becoming pirate king in the great pirate era is Impossible!"
Bonk! Luffy had hit Coby upside the head with his fist. "Ow! Why'd you hit me?" questioned Coby.
"Because I felt like it," Said Luffy bluntly.
"Oh well… I'm used to it anyway…" Said Coby in between pauses.
"I'm not afraid of dying!" Stated Luffy, "Being pirate king is my dream, that's why I don't mind dying for it. Besides I have faith that I can do it, even if things do get tough."
"Amazing!" Though Coby to himself, "He doesn't even mind dying! I never thought of that. Would I also be able to achieve my dream if I'm willing to die?"wondered Coby.
"Huh," Questioned Luffy.
"My Dream…," paused Coby, "To become a marine, do you think I could do it."
"A marine?" Repeated Luffy.
"Luffy I know this would mean we'll be enemies," Stated Coby, "But joining the marines and catching bad guys has always been my dream! Do you think I could do it?"
"I wouldn't know," Answered Luffy with a shrug, He was trying to become a pirate, not a marine.
"I have to at least try!" Shouted Coby, "I'd rather die trying to get out of here and join the Marines! Than stay here and be a caretaker my entire life! And then someday catch bad guys like Alvida someday!"
"Who did you say you were going to arrest, Coby?" Shouted Alvida. Alvida and the rest of her crew had arrived on the scene just in time to here Coby's bold statement. Wham! Alvida had just smashed Coby's boat into pieces.
"My Boat," cried Coby as he watch the boat he had built for the past two years be crushed before his eyes.
"Do you think you can escape from me?" questioned Alvida, who then turned to Luffy, "Is that who you hired to catch me? He's no Roronoa Zoro, and he definitely can't be Raven either! Anyway, before you die, I have to ask you. Who is the fairest throughout the seas? Coby?"
"Th-that'll be…" stammered Coby, who was intimidated by Alvida.
"Hey Coby, who's the rude woman?" Asked Luffy Bluntly while pointing at Alvida.
Gasp! Coby and Alvida, including the pirates all were shocked at Luffy's words. No one had dared to speak to her that way.
"Luffy! Quick, repeat after me!" shouted Coby as he placed both hands on luffy shoulders, "In all the seas, this Lady is the most…" Paused Coby, but he then be gain to remember Luffy's word's. "I'm not afraid of dying!" Stated Luffy, "Being pirate king is my dream, that's why I don't mind dying for it. Besides I have faith that I can do it, even if things do get tough." Stated Luffy. Luffy wasn't afraid to die for his dream, and yet hear he was, a sniveling coward working as a cabin boy for two years for some old fat Lady. Coby was now tired of it, he wanted to become a marine, and marines weren't scared of pirates.
Coby took a deep breath and finished what he was saying, "… rudest, damened bitch of the seas."
The Alvida's pirates were all shocked while Luffy started Laughing his ass off "Hahahahaha!"
Alvida, who glared at Coby. "You little brat! What did you say," Shouted Alvida.
"I don't regret it," shouted Coby out loud, "I already said I'd fight for my dreams! I'm going to become a marine and arrest pirates like you!"
"Well Said Coby," said Luffy as he got in in front of Coby.
"It makes no difference to me!" Shouted Alvida as she raised up her iron mace and prepared to bring it down on Luffy, "You're both going to die!"
Bam! The mace went crashing down on Luffy's head, but to everyone's surprise, Luffy was still smiling, "That didn't hurt one bit!" announced Luffy, "My body is made of rubber!"
"Im-Imbossible!" Stammered Alvida, no one had ever survived being hit by her iron mace, "My mace!"
Everyone stared in shock as Luffy brought back his arm, with the heavy mace still on his head, "Gum… Gum… Pistol!" Whoosh! Luff's arm shot out and punched Alvida right in the face, sending the self-proclaimed pirate queen flying backwards, while taking out half of her crew dew to her large size.
"His arm…" gasped the remaining pirates in shocked, "… stretched like rubber!"
"Lady Alvida was defeated by this monster," exclaimed one of the pirates in shocked, "Could he be…" wonder the pirate before Luffy cut him off.
"Give Coby a boat…" Paused Luffy, "He's going to go join the marines!" finished Luffy
The pirates nodded in agreement and did as Luffy command it.
-P-
A little while later, Coby and Luffy were floating in their small boat, "You ate the Gum Gum fruit? Coby exclaimed, Incredible! But Luffy, if you're going after the One Piece that means you have to enter the Grand Line!"
"Yep," Luffy answered enthusiastically.
"But that place is known as the Graveyard for pirates!" Exclaimed Coby.
"Yeah and that's why I need a strong crew." Replied Luffy, "Like those two bounty hunters, what are their names again?"
"Wait you don't mean Raven and Roronoa Zoro do you?" Asked Coby.
"If they're both good guys I'll ask them to join." Said Luffy with a huge smile.
"WHAT!" Coby screamed in fear, "You're dreaming again! Those two are too dangerous! Never… that'll never happen, there both evil!"
"We don't know that for sure." Pointed out Luffy.
"It'll never work!" Snapped Coby.
And so the two boys sailed off towards the marine base and their destiny. Luffy was determined to find a crew, and Raven and Zoro was going to be his first two members.
-P-
"Monsters?" Asked Luffy as they continued to sail toward the marine's base.
"Yes, Luffy," Answered Coby, "There both known as East Blue's most powerful and dangerous Bounty Hunters. Roronoa Zoro is known as "ThePirateHunter" he's a really scary person. Rumors says He's like a blood thirsty hound, That wonders around the sea, searching and hunting down pirates with bounties on their heads… he's a monster in human form!"
"Oh really," Said Luffy.
"So let's drop the idea of recruiting him," suggested Coby.
"I haven't decided if I wanted to recruit him yet," Replied Luffy, "But if he's a good person then I'll…"
"He was arrested because he's a bad person!" interrupted Coby.
"What about that Raven guy then. Why is he so dangerous?" Asked Luffy.
"Well, unlike Zoro, he doesn't care if you're a pirate or not, as long as you have a bounty on your head he'll come for you. He is said to be so strong that he beat fifty mountain bandits with just his feet. They also say his strength rivals Zoro himself and that he has strange abilities." Explained Coby.
"Strange… abilities?" questioned Luffy as he leaned his head to the side, "You mean… like a Devil Fruit power."
"Yeah, there've been rumors of him having the powers of a Devil fruit user." Exclaimed Coby, "Because of these rumors, people have called him "The human Devil Fruit".
"The Human Devil Fruit?," questioned Luffy.
"Yes." nodded Coby in agreement, "His abilities have gotten him called other names as well, but they use that name to describe him."
"Hmm, I wonder where he might be now?" wondered Luffy to himself.
-P-
Few hours later, Luffy and Coby had arrived at the small port town of Shell Town which was known for having a Marine's Bases. Despite being on an island that was probably swarming with marines, Luffy couldn't be happier.
"WE'RE FINALLY AT THE MARINE BASE!" Luffy announced, getting a lot of attention.
"Yep finally," Coby agreed a lot quieter than his loud-mouth companion.
"You're great Coby," Luffy congratulated his temporary navigator. "We actually reached our destination!"
"Of course," Coby replied, "That's the basics of navigation! If you keep randomly floating around you'll never become a pirate. You should find a Navigator for your crew."
"Yeah, that's what I'll do!" Luffy decided. "Now let's go eat."
-P-
Luffy and Coby found a tavern which was set up like a restaurant and a bar, kind of like the one back in Fuchsia Village. Luffy spent the next few hours eating a ridiculously large amount of food.
"Well now we go our separate ways," said Luffy, once he and Coby were full, "Do your best. I hope you become a great marine."
"I will thank you so much!" Coby replied, "Luffy I hope you become a great pirate. Even if that means we'll become enemies."
"Say, I wonder if Roronoa Zoro is still being kept at the Marines Base?" wondered Luffy out loud. CRASH! Luffy looked up and saw all of the other occupants of the restaurant cowering against the wall.
"Maybe we shouldn't say that name out loud around here," whispered Coby to Luffy, "I saw a notice on the streets that said Captain Morgan is at this base." CRASH! Once again all the other customers at the restaurant dove behind their tables.
-P-
"Hahaha! What a great restaurant," laughed Luffy, as he and Coby walked out of the restaurant and headed down the street. "I've gotta go there again!" Luffy and Coby were now walking down the street in town headed to the Marine Base.
"That was strange," said Coby, "I can understand why they'd be scared of Zoro's name. But why would they be afraid of the marine captain's name too? I have a bad feeling about this.
"Well he could have done something bad, right?" questioned Luffy.
"That's impossible!" snapped Coby.
"I'm serious," Luffy told him as they kept walking, they were finally heading towards the marine base.
-P-
"It looks pretty ugly up close," Luffy remarked once they had reached the gate around the marine base. "Go ahead Coby, go on in.
"B-but I'm not prepared yet!" Coby protested, "I'm still wondering about the incident at the restaurant. LUFFY!"
Coby looked on in shock as Luffy started climbing one of the walls, "I wonder if I can see the demonic monster from here," wondered Luffy as he looked into the holding yard.
"You can't find him that easily!" Coby snapped, "He's probably deep within the bowels of the prison or something…"
"No!" Luffy replied as he jumped down from the wall and started running along it, "I saw something over there. It could be Zoro."
Luffy and Coby climbed another wall and Luffy noticed someone being held in the middle of the yard. "There he is!" Luffy pointed out. When Coby saw the person Luffy was referring to he fell off of the wall.
"Th-that b-black bandana and sash around his waist," Coby stuttered from the ground, "It's him! It's Roronoa Zoro! He looks scary!"
What Coby said was right. There in the middle of the yard was Roronoa Zoro. Who was tied to what looked like a cross and had a blank expression on his face. The swordsman looked to be an average sized, muscular young man. The swordsman looked to be nineteen years old, his green hair was hidden under a black bandana, and his facial features resembled a shark. He was wearing a white short sleeve shirt, a green haramaki, and a pair of black pants and shoes.
"So he's Zoro, huh?" questioned Luffy, "Those ropes look easy to break…"
"THAT'S SUICIDE!" shouted Coby, loud enough to get the pirate hunter's attention, "If you set him free he'll kill us then wreck the town!"
"Hey you!" came the deep voice of Roronoa Zoro. "Come over here and untie me. I've been tied up here for nine days and I'm exhausted!"
"Look, he's smiling," Luffy observed.
"He… he talked!" Coby gasped.
"I'll make it worth your while," Zoro called out again; "I could hunt down a pirate with a big price on his head and give you the bounty. You can trust me; I'm a man of my word."
"Don't do it Luffy!" Coby pleaded, "If you set him free, he'll kill us and escape!"
"He can't kill me." Luffy assured him, "I won't let him. I'm too strong."
"You really are hopeless," Coby cried. TONK! Suddenly a ladder was set up against the wall and a familiar little girl climbed up it.
"Shh!" Rika shushed Luffy and Coby. She lowered a rope and climbed down it into the holding yard.
"Don't go down there! It's dangerous!" Coby called after the girl. He turned to Luffy, "Luffy, stop her, she could be killed."
"Do it yourself," Said Luffy bluntly.
"Do you want to die or something…?" Zoro asked the girl in front of him, "get lost!"
Rika pulled out a bundle and unwrapped the paper around it to reveal a pair of rice balls. "Uhm,brother. I made these rice balls for you. This is the first time I've ever made rice balls…"
"I'm not hungry!" the pirate hunter snapped, "go away!"
"But…" Rika protested.
"I don't want it! Leave me!" Zoro insisted, "I'll kill you if you don't go!"
"RORONOA ZORO!" came a loud voice,he was a skinny and lanky-looking young man with light blond hair shaped like an oval on top of his head."Don't pick on little kids, or else I'll have to report to my father about it!"
"Who's that weirdo?" wondered Luffy.
"Probably some high ranking marine," said Coby. "Good, that little girl will be safe now."
"Well if it isn't the Captain's bastard son," said Zoro unimpressed.
"Bastard?" Helmeppo repeated. "Don't get cocky, my dad is marine lieutenant," Helmeppo turned to Rika and noticed the rice balls in her hands. "Little girl, did you bring those rice balls for me? How thoughtful!"
"Ah! Stop it!" Rika shrieked. The captain's son took one of the rice balls anyway and started eating it.
Helmeppo's face turned blue, and he spat the rice ball out before he could choke on it. Blegh! Disgusting!" Helmeppo complained as he continued spitting in an attempt to get the awful taste out. "You used too much sugar! You're supposed to put salt in these things!"
"But… But I thought they'd taste better if they were sweet," said Rika, as a tear formed in one of her eyes. She had worked hard on those and wanted them to be special.
"How could someone eat something like this? Dame it!" Helmeppo shouted as he snatched the other rice ball and threw it on the ground, then to the Rika's horror, started squishing them withhis foot. STOMP! STOMP! Squish! Squish!
"Ah! Stop it! Stop! He can't eat this anymore," the girl pleaded as the captain's son squished her hard work, "You're ruining them!"
"How evil," Coby whispered, "That girl worked really hard on those."
"Hahaha, don't worry," laughed Helmeppo, "I'm sure the ants will find them delicious!"
Rika dropped to the ground and cried next to her ruined rice balls. "You're so cruel! I worked so hard to make them!"
"Aww… Don't cry," Helmeppo complained, "No wonder why I hate little brats so much. It's your own fault. Can't you read this sign?" Helmeppo then pointed out the sign next to him, and read it to the girl. "It says, 'Anyone who helps the prisoner will be charged with the same crime.' And it is signed by my father, Captain Morgan."
Helmeppo looked closely at Rika, "You know how scary my father can be. You could've gotten the death penalty if you were a grown up."
Helmeppo then turned to one of the two marines who were with him, "You there, throw this brat out!"
"Huh?" questioned the marine.
"I'm telling you to throw her out of here!" Helmeppo ordered. "Are you disobeying me? I'll tell my father!" his father was the ranking officer at the Marine base, no one wanted to make him mad.
"Ay…Aye sir," the marine reluctantly agreed, Regretfully the marine threw the eight year old over the fence and out of the holding yard.
Whoosh! Luffy jumped off the wall and was knocked to the ground as he caught Rika and kept her from getting hurt.
"Are you alright?" Coby asked Rika, while Luffy got up and dusted himself off,
"I didn't think you'd have this kind of endurance," Helmeppo taunted Zoro.
"That's right, I'm going to survive the entire month," Zoro answered with a determined grin, "You'd better keep your promise."
"I wouldn't dream of breaking my word," Helmeppo assured as he and his marine escorts started leaving. "If you survive out here for a month, I'll release you. Good luck."
Helmeppo and the marines left, but Zoro still wasn't alone. Luffy was standing in front of him.
"You still haven't left yet?" asked Zoro, "Leave now, or else he'll go tell his dad about you."
"Oh yeah?" commented Luffy, "I'm looking for people to join my pirate crew."
"Pirate? Heh… so you just gave up on life and became a crook huh…?"
"It's my dream!" Stated Luffy, "There's nothing wrong with being a pirate!"
"…Hm? Don't tell me you're gonna to set me free and force me join you." Said Zoro
"I haven't made up my mind yet," Claimed Luffy, "Since everyone thinks you're a bad guy."
"A bad guy, huh…?" pronounced Zoro, "I'll never join you because I have something I need to take care of!" "I could survive even if you don't help!" Said Zoro, "I just need to stay alive for one month."
"That bastard kid promised to let me go afterwards," Said Zoro, "I'm Gonne do everything I can to stay alive and fulfill my Dreams!"
"…Really? If I were you, I think I'd starve to death in a week," Said Luffy true fully.
"That's why we're so different," replied Zoro, "So go find someone else to join your crew."
"Ha-ha, what a weirdo," Luffy chuckled, as he turned and headed off.
"Wait," Zoro called after him. "Could you… pick that up for me?" He motioned to the squished rice ball with his head.
"You're gonna eat this?" asked Luffy as he crouched down and picked up what was more a bunch of dirt that a ball of rice, "cause its mostly a ball of mud."
"Shut up and give it to me! Now!" Zoro ordered. he then held his mouth opened and Luffy tossed the remains of the rice ball inside.
Chew!Munch!Chew! The Pirate Hunter proceeded to eat the rice ball as if it was the first thing he'd eaten in weeks, but then coughed when he choked on the bits of dirt. Cough! Cough! Gasp!
"Do you want to kill yourself," Asked Luffy.
"Tell the girl, I said thanks for the food," Zoro requested. Luffy smiled and then left.
-P-
"Really?" asked Rika, once Luffy had relayed Zoro's message as they sat out in front of the tavern.
"That's right," Luffy answered. "He ate all of it."
"That's great," said the girl with a smile.
"Could he really be as bad as his reputation say he is?" Coby asked.
"No He isn't," Answered Rika. "Brother didn't do anything wrong, it's just that the people in this town are afraid of him."
"He got arrested because of me. He killed Helmeppo's pet wolf because Helmeppo let his wolf run around and every got scared…" Exclaimed Rika before being cut off by Luffy.
"So you're saying… that zoro's only arrested because he killed Helmeppo's wolf? Said Luffy.
"Yea," Answered Rika with a faint smile.
"You're right… so maybe he has a bad temper, but chasing down fugitives isn't really a crime either," Exclaimed Coby.
"The only bad guys are the Morgan's! You'll get executed if you disobey them, So everyone Is a afraid of them." Exclaimed Rika.
"Hehehehe! Who dares to raise his head?" Asked Helmeppo as he laughed while walking down the street with two Marines walking down the street, "I'll tell my dad about you!"
"Do you want to be like Roronoa Zoro?" Announced Helmeppo with a smile, "I'm gonna publicly execute him in three days."
"Three days," Repeated Luffy, "Didn't you say you give him a month.
"Who are you? How rude," Said Helmeppo, "I was only just joking with him! Only an idiot would believe that." Finished Helmeppo with a chuckle.
Luffy was not amused at all by the joke. Zoro truly believed he would be set free in a month. He even was willing to trust the man with his life. Luffy couldn't take it anymore; he clenched his fist and swung it at Helmeppo's face. Pow! Luffy's fist connected with Helmeppo's face knocking him off his feet.
"You Bastard!" Shouted Luffy.
"Luffy! Please stop! Calm down," Shouted Coby while holding Luffy back.
"You want… to mess with… the Marines or something…?" Asked a half passed out Helmeppo.
"Coby, I've decide." Said Luffy.
