"Power, fame and wealth. All these belonged to the greatest musician that ever lived. The Golden Roger (Gol .D. Roger). A man who acquired everything a person could ever dream of having. 'The musical legend', 'the music god','the king', he was known by as many names as people could come up with. He is now looked up to by many aspiring legends that refer to him as the 'father of music'. Every one of them wants to have what he had, feel what and how he felt at the top. Most people who took it upon themselves to surpass him either were looked down upon or simply lost interest as they discover that the journey to the top is not an easy one. Nevertheless, in this new generation of artists and musicians we are looking forward to an epic battle to the top as the few musicians who have taken it upon themselves to surpass him have once again made their name known. These brave artists are, Warlord entertainments 'Buggy and the clowns' (for some reason), Blackbeard 'I, Blackbeard', Grand line works 'Kidd' and Red-haired productions 'the crew'.
These famous names listed above aren't surprising; in fact, they were very expected, well besides one or two. These four musicians are going to be the cause of the greatest music battle yet, if not the greatest the world will ever come to know."
- Mister three.
Luffy sighed contently after reading out the article to the two boys and the orange-haired girl in the room. "Shishishishishi… We were mentioned in the paper."
"AAAAAAHHHH! Luffy can read!"
ONE WEEK EARLIER
"Hey Boys!" The orange-haired girl yelled from the door. "Show time." She said with a bright grin on her face.
"You're way too excited for this." The blonde boy spoke drily, relaxing on a long sofa.
"That's because I'm one step closer to having over 500,000 million bellies in my account." She said with a bigger grin.
"Her eyes turned to bellies." A skinny raven-haired young boy stated.
"Money-hugger." Another raven-haired well built boy simply said, although he was half asleep."
The girl snorted, "Call me whatever you like, Ace." She walked into the room; "This band is making it today, because of me."
"Why not?" Ace and the blonde boy both murmured, sarcastically.
"Sabo!" The girl called out to the blonde boy, "Why are you mourning with these lazy Asses? You're meant to be the almost normal one."
"Oi! Nami…" the skinny raven called tiredly, "I'm hungry."
"Didn't you just eat half the buffet before coming here, Luffy?" She asked, obviously getting annoyed.
"You didn't let me finish, Nami." He argued.
"You were going to eat everything including the table." She snapped.
"But it's called an all-you-can-eat-buffet, isn't it?" He continued.
Feeling her eyebrow twitch uncontrollably, she snapped again, "That doesn't mean you should eat everything. Even Ace for the first time ever didn't eat as much."
"Oi." Ace called drily from the sofa he had sunk himself into, "Don't underestimate me. I just fell asleep."
Both Nami and Sabo shook their heads in unison.
"And here I was thinking you were going to say something meaningful." Nami said, rubbing her index finger on her head.
"As if." Sabo plainly replied.
"OI!" Luffy screamed then smiled when he got everyone's angry look attention, "I'm still hungry."
Nami sighed in defeat; "You're not going up that stage without eating, are you?"
"Nope." He said plainly before getting a heavy punch on his head from Nami.
"Why can't you even act a bit sorry?" she screamed at him before stomping out the room.
"That's his celebrity head." Sabo murmured dully to Nami as she left the room.
"Ow." Luffy rubbed his head, "Why is she so angry?"
Ace snorted, "What an aggressive woman." He said with his eyes closed.
Sabo stared at the ceiling, "You two are going to be the reason this band would see its quick end."
"Huh?" Luffy looked at Sabo confused.
"You are well aware that you're also spreading the aura of laziness right now, right?" Ace asked Sabo.
Sabo made a disapproving sound, "nevertheless, I still have hope."
Ace chuckled lightly, "True that."
Luffy looked at the both of them, "Huh?"
