Hello everyone, this is my first time writing, although defiantly not my first reading them so please be nice... or as nice as you can any how. :)
life on the thousand sunny is hectic. Not a day goes by without someone breaking things or shouting at each other, or even more so, breaking things on each other. Luffy loves days like those; the busyness of it, all the noise, knowing that everyone is there and happy. But sometimes, Luffy just wants to sit and listen and feel. let everything wash over him and know that everything is alright.
The scent of the sea on the wind is what home smells like, what they smell like. Always there, no matter what happens, like its marking them, saying "they belong at sea, they're mine". luffy knows it, his nakama knows it. Every fiber of his soul knows that he could never be at piece anywhere else.
With the sun shining down upon them, they are at peace, marines could come and declare war on them and they would still rush into it with a grin on their faces. This is their life and they love it.
Sitting up on the watch tower, Luffy couldn't believe that he could be this lucky, to find Nakama who are so perfect and loyal, who had their own dreams to follow. they didn't just follow him blindly into the fray, they made their own way and they're not scared to tell him how much of an idiot he is sometimes. He knows he is, but he trust them to smack some sense into him if he goes over the line. Which is most of the time.
"Luffy!"
"Oi luffy!"
With one more glance around, he jumps off and falls into the waiting arms of his chosen family.
