As he walked down the street toward the pier to find a ride to the next island, he heard a commotion coming from a tavern nearby. Then there was a big boom and dust started coming from the tavern. Some people came running out who he recognized as some famous pirate crew who had bounties on their heads. 'Probably some bounty hunter trying to make some money.' He thought. 'Just like I sometimes do, but with less bang.' He noticed one was wearing a straw hat and was laughing and smiling. 'Huh, A pirate running for his life and enjoying it.'
He saw this happen often and didn't care about it anymore, so he kept on walking towards the harbor with his knapsack over his shoulder and the hood up so the marines don't recognize him.
Once he got to the pier, He looked at the notice board to see if any ships are going further to the Grand Line.
'Damn.' He couldn't find any ship that's headed there. He looked up and saw that the sun was going down. 'Guess I need a place to stay so I can ask around tomorrow and see if new ships are coming in so I can hitch a ride.'
As he entered the nearest tavern in order to find a room and a meal, he noticed that the crew that he saw this afternoon was there as well. They were enjoying themselves and eating merrily. He didn't think anything of it and went straight to the bar to order a meal and ask if they have any rooms available.
As he sat on the bar and waited to order, he heard an extremely loud burst of laughter. He turned around and saw that the pirate crew was laughing at an antic that one of them was doing with a pair of chopsticks. As he continued to look at them between the throng of people inside the stuffed tavern, he noticed that there were only 4 people in that crew, a guy who wore a straw-hat and ate himself silly, a green-haired dude who had three katanas at his waist and drank himself crazy, an orange-haired girl who just sat there and are quietly, and a guy with a long nose who was lying out of his ears to make himself look great.
He smirked and turned around to eat his meal. The crew was so loud that it was impossible not to eavesdrop on them. After a while he started eating, the girl from the pirate crew came to the bar next to him and sat down with a sigh. "Rough day?" He asked.
She turned around and sighed again, making the tiredness and stress all the more visible on her face. 'She looks very pretty,' he thought about when he finally had a chance to look at her. She nodded and said, "I can't wait for us to leave and enter the Grand Line.'
