The Going Merry pulled up to the docks and Luff D. Monkey raised up his hands and cheered. He jumped off the boat and landed on the deck. He smiled and laughed. "Let's go!" He rushed off before his crew could stop him.
"That idiot." Zoro, the green haired pirate, sighed.
"Zoro go find him before he gets into trouble!" Nami, the orange haired navigator, pointed after Luffy. "Hurry!"
"Yeah Yeah." Zoro waved his hand and jumped off the ship as well. He slowly started to walk off.
"You're really sending Zoro? Won't he get into trouble himself? Or get lost?" Usopp, the long nosed pirate, stared after Zoro.
"AH! You're right!" Nami shook her head. "What was I thinking?!" She jumped off the ship. "I'll go find them!"
"NAMI!" Sanji, the blond cook, waved his hand. "I'm coming with you!" He jumped off as well.
"I guess we're left watching the ship." Nico Robin, the mysterious black haired woman, looked up from her book. She looked over at Chopper, the little reindeer.
"I'm going to go with them, in case the others get hurt!" Chopper jumped up. "Usopp watch the ship with Robin!"
"Right!" Usopp nodded.
Luffy laughed as he wandered around the town. "Food…. Meat…" He looked around energetically. "I want food!" He wandered around.
"HEY! Watch where you're going!" Luffy looked over to see a woman being yelled at by a tall dark haired man. The woman had short red hair and wore a collar with a short chain around her neck. Another chain was wrapped around her waist and tucked into the red sash around her waist. She wasn't even looking at the man. "Did you hear me?!" The man yelled at her.
"Move it." She said darkly.
"WHY YOU!" He raised a fist. The girl dodged right before his fist hit her. She fluidly dodged each of his attacks, but never made a move to fight back. After a few minutes of that she ducked behind the man and started walking off, ignoring him. "WAIT YOU!" He went to punch the girl's head. The girl turned and punched him instead.
"Wow!" Luffy gasped as he watched her knock the man to the ground. "That was awesome!" The girl looked up and blinked.
"Who are you?"
"My name's Luffy!" He grinned. "You knocked that guy out with one punch!"
The girl looked down at the man she had just punched and nodded. "He was a weakling. I've dealt with tons of people who are stronger."
"Wow…." Luffy's stomach suddenly growled. "Oh… Food…"
The girl blinked and then smiled slightly. "Why don't I show you where to get some food then?"
"Really?! Thanks!" Luffy grinned.
The girl started walking. "Hopefully it's not too busy right now." She looked over her shoulder at Luffy. "Keep up."
"Right!" He jogged a little till he was right next to her. After a few minutes they arrived at a building. The girl walked in and Luffy followed.
"LUFFY!" The girl paused and looked back. "Did someone just call for you?"
"Hmm? Oh that was Zoro." Luffy headed straight towards the bar. "He's one of my friends. Hey old man can I have some food!" He sat down at the bar and waved his hand towards the keeper.
The girl laughed. "Alright then." She sat down next to Luffy. "Some for me as well please."
"Right." The old man at the bar nodded. He headed towards the back to get the food.
"LUFFY!" Zoro stormed into the restaurant. "You idiot!"
"Oh! Hey Zoro!" Luffy waved his hand. "Come have some food!"
Zoro sighed, but frowned as he noticed the girl sitting next to Luffy. "Who are you?" He slammed his fist down on the bar. "You're the one who led this idiot here."
"Yeah." The girl looked up as the old man brought two plates of food. He looked at Zoro and then the girl.
"Does your friend want some food Umi?"
"Want some food Zoro?" Umi, the red haired girl, asked.
"Uh yeah sure." He looked at the old man. "Hey wait!" He yelled and turned to look at o the girl as the old man went to get him food. "How'd you know my name?!"
"Luffy told me." She took a bite of her food. "Now why don't you sit down?"
"The food's pretty good." Luffy laughed as Zoro sat next to him.
"Luffy." Zoro whispered. "What are you doing with this girl?"
"She's buying me some food." Luffy said simply. "And she took out this one big guy with one punch! It was awesome!"
"Hmm." Zoro looked at the girl and then looked at his food as it was brought to him. He started eating. "Not too bad."
"Errin here makes good food." Umi nodded. "The best in town."
"Thanks Umi." Errin laughed. "Oh yeah, were you able to get any more of that medicine?"
"Yeah." Umi pulled a little bottle out of her pocket and handed it to the man. "Make sure Sakina takes one pill every day and tell her I can't wait to see her smiling face in here again."
"I will." Errin laughed. "She'll be happy to hear that."
Umi laughed and then went back to eating. "Who's sick?" Luffy asked, with his mouth stuffed.
Umi and Errin turned silent, but finally Errin spoke. "My daughter. She's been sick for the last weeks. Umi's been getting the medicine for us."
"Well you can't leave here with all these customers." Umi smiled. "And like I said I can't wait to see her smiling face again."
"She's getting better." Errin nodded. "She'll be returning within the next couple days, I'm sure of it."
"I can't wait." Umi smiled, but before she could say anything else there was a large chime.
"What was that?!" Luffy looked up from his plate.
"The town's clock." Umi stood up and placed a bag of money on the bar. "This is for their food and mine. It was nice meeting you Luffy." She started to head towards the door.
"Umi!" Errin frowned. "You don't have to pay."
"Oh yeah." Umi turned around and looked at Luffy and Zoro. "I would get out of town as soon as you can. Bye!" She waved her hand and left.
"What was that about?" Zoro frowned.
"She has to go right now." Errin sighed. "That girl." He shook his head and then went back to serving food to customers. "She is right; you'd do best to get out of here as soon as you can."
"Hmm." Zoro looked off. "Come on Luffy, let's get out of here."
"Aw… Alright." He stood up. "Thanks for the food old man." He fixed his hat. "Let's go explore! Hehe!" He laughed.
Zoro sighed. "Shouldn't we head back to the ship first?"
Luffy didn't listen as he walked out and looked around. "Which way should we go?!"
"LUFFY! ZORO!" The two pirates looked over to see Usopp running towards them. "TROUBLE!"
"What's up?" Zoro looked over.
"It's bad! Bad!" Usopp stopped in front of them, gasping for breath. "Nami, Sanji, and Usopp were arrested!"
"What?!" Zoro and Luffy gasped together.
"They were arrested by pirates!"
