Going Merry Elementary September 5th 2003 Luffy looks out the car window at the school. He feels a hand on his head and hears his godfathers voice, "What happened to all your confidence that you had when we left huh Anchor? You don't see Ace or Sabo looking scared now do you?" Since Luffy doesn't like Shanks to call him that embarrassing name yells at him. "I'm not scared Shanks, I'm just thinking", As soon as those words escaped Luffy's mouth the car went silent and everyone ( though it was only 5 people including Luffy in the car) just stared at him. Luffy notices and ask "What is everyone staring at?" "It's just out of character for you to actually think Luffy," says Sabo -one of his brothers- "I didn't think you had it in you to think about anything besides food" Ace says -Luffy's other brother-. "what is it that you're thinking about huh Luffy?" Makino asks. "I'm thinking about what the other kids might think about when they see me," Luffy responds. "Is that it all what you were thinking about? Then you have nothing to worry about, just be yourself and you'll make some friends," Makino reassures Luffy. "Thanks for the boost Makino, well I better go and see where the principal is! Shishishishi," Luffy jumps out the car with his brothers to the going merry elementary school.

In the main office of the school Luffy looks around for the principal. Instead he meets the assistant principal Mr. Jaguar. "Hey Mr. Lion can you show me to the principal's office?" "Mr. Lion? Little boy my name is Mr. Jaguar, you were close though. Anyway, Ms. Nicos office is this way follow me," said Mr. Jaguar. Soon the two reached the principal's office. When Ms. Nico, the school's principal saw them she asked "Saul when did you have a child? Last time I checked men can't give birth. Fufufufufu." At that remark Mr. Jaguar-or rather Saul as Ms. Nico would call him-responded "HE'S NOT MINE ! He's just a kid that wanted to see you that's all," "You didn't even ask his name Saul? How unprofessional of you, but since he seems harmless enough, I'll let it slide this time" Saul nods his head and leaves the room. "Might I ask what your name is young man?" Ms. Nico said with a smile. "Huh? Oh I'm sorry, my name is Monkey D. Luffy. I'm new here too," Luffy stated with his trademark grin. "Oh? Which is it, 'Monkey D. Luffy' or 'New here too'?" Ms. Nico responds with a small grin. Luffy ask her " Do I really look like a monkey? People say that I act like one but they never said that I act like one. It's a mystery," While Luffy ponders the "mystery" to himself, Ms. Nico types a few keys and looks up where his class is and calls for security to help him there. And she has an idea who would be perfect for that. A knock is heard on her door, she says it's ok to enter. When the door opens a female security guard with a ponytail and part of her head shaved off comes in. "Usually schools has gerbils in the classes. But I've never heard of having a monkey in the school, let alone in a class. Where's his class at Olvia?" ask the security guard. "He has class with Nami, Bellemere" Ms. Nico responds. "He has Ms. Alvidas class? Huh I guess monkeys really can be smart. Anyway come this way kid, I'll show you to your class," Bellemere says. "Thanks lady," Luffy responds.
