(Armstrong continues to flex as Luffy stares in amazement.)
LUFFY: A-a-awesome! He must be from Olympus!
FAI: Okay, I'm just going to ask. Why do you think this guy's from Olympus?
LUFFY: Because of his muscles! Incredibly big muscles mean that you're actually an Olympic hero!
ARMSTRONG: I'm flattered that you're impressed by my physique, but I am just a normal man.
FAI: ……. Somehow, I doubt you qualify as "normal."
LUFFY: Of course he's not normal; None of us are! If we were normal, that'd be boring!
(Luffy takes off his shirt and flexes like Armstrong, revealing his surprising physique.)
FAI: HOLY CRAP! HOW CAN YOU HAVE ARMS THAT LOOK LIKE TWIGS, BUT BICEPS BIGGER THAN MINE?
LUFFY: I don't know.
FAI: ……. That is so not fair.
ARMSTRONG (in tears): DO NOT BE EMBARRASSED! YOUR BODY IS A GIFT FROM GOD, WHICH WILL SOON BLOSSOM INTO ITS FULL POTENTIAL!
FAI: Uuuhhhhh, yeah. Sure.
ARMSTRONG: Well, I have important business to attend to. I must be on my way.
LUFFY: Aaaawwwwww, do you have to go?
ARMSTRONG (with tears in his eyes): I HAVE HAD A GLORIOUS TIME WITH YOU! MAY OUR PATHS CROSS AGAIN ONE DAY!
|Alex and Luffy have a tearful embrace, as the "Strong-Arm" alchemist leaves.|
FAI: Okaaaaay, and I'm not supposed to be worried about this?
LUFFY: Why would you be worried? I was just saying goodbye to the Olympic hero.
FAI: Alex and I have told you five times that he's not from Olympus.
LUFFY: Of course you have! Heroes can never reveal their true identities! They have to be discovered by the bad guys so that they can "attack the hero's hearts," or something.
FAI: You've been watching the "Spiderman" movies again, haven't you?
LUFFY: THEY'RE AWESOME! The only part I don't like is how the villains keep "attacking Spiderman's heart." It gets kind of boring after awhile.
FAI: I'm more into watching "Superman" or "Fantastic Four."
LUFFY: I hate Mr. Fantastic! He makes me feel like my Gomu Gomu powers are a rip-off.
HUGHES: Well, they're a lot more creative than his, that's for sure.
(Luffy and Fai do a double-take to see Maes Hughes standing right behind them.)
FAI: WHAT THE HELL? AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD?
LUFFY: ZOMBIIIIIIE!
HUGHES: Come to think of it, I'm more of a spirit than a zombie.
FAI: But, we can see you –
LUFFY: GOMU GOMU NOOOOO…
(Luffy stretches his fist back far behind him.)
FAI: Wait, Luffy! What are you doing?
LUFFY: If I can punch Hughes, then we can see if he's a ghost or not.
HUGHES: Let's not be so hasty. Before you wallop me, I have something to show you two.
(A dangerous gleam crosses Hughes eyes as he pulls out two photographs.)
LUFFY AND FAI: AAAAHHHHHHH!
HUGHES (with a puppy-dog expression): My wife, Gracie, and my daughter, Elicia! Look at how adorable they are! I can't believe Elicia's going into preschool in just two weeks; I'm so proud of my little princess! Gracie's doing so well now; She's even got a job now –
FAI (to Luffy): How much longer do you think he's gonna keep this up?
LUFFY: Shishishishi! Hughes is so funny!
Well, there's chapter 2! I sort of think the first one was funnier, but I digress. Sorry if I made any characters OCC!
By the way, this is in response to Blackberry. I don't read or watch Tsubasa; It's just that Lullabydust tells me a lot about the series (like I tell her about One Piece), and I like writing for Fai. Review, please!
