Chapter 1: Follow directions

'Day 5 of being held prisoner'

'This master guy is...well, he's not that bad. Keeps staring at me'

'My nakama is nowhere to be found'

'And mostly importantly, I'm straving'

Luffy groaned in defeat. "I am so bored. Ugh, there's nothing to do here." he leaned against the wall in defeat. "I need entertainment and meat. Lots of meat." He gave an over-dramatic sigh. 'I know' he thought. Laughing he thought to himself 'I am a master voice actor that should keep me entertained'. 'Who should I do first...I know Sanji'

Luffy pushed his hair to side and did his best impression of Sanji 'No, Luffy. You just ate. Switching back to himself he went 'but Sanji I'm hungry.' Back to Sanji 'get out the kitchen.' Then he did Zoro 'hey eyebrows. Keep it down.' Sanji 'shut up moss head and stay asleep. No one asked for you're opinon' Zoro 'oh yeah'. Sanji 'yeah'. Now Usopp 'guys come on, we don't have time for this. Chopper, 'are they about to fight'. Back to himself 'I'm still hungry'. Nami' will everyone shut up' Sanji 'yes Nami-swan' Zoro 'ugh. I'm going back to sleep.' Sanji 'anything you want to eat Nami.' Nami, 'no I'm good' back to Sanji 'what about you Robin, dear. Switiching to Robin 'no thank you I'm fine.' Finally going back to himself he grumbled and went 'if I starve, you guys are going to be sorry.'

Luffy laughed to himself. But it also made him feel all the more lonely, because they weren't there. And being hungry made him miss Sanji the most. He wanted to cry or something. He missed them so much and was so bored. There was another presence in the room he could feel it. Luffy stood up, 'who's there. And do you have food.' There was laughter, a light chuckle. Turning around he could see his 'master' standing in the door just watching him. Luffy sat still, the guy still kind of weirded him out. "Um..." for the pass few days he couldn't really speak to him. There was something about him that just got to him.

"You miss your nakama don't you?" the question startled him. Master looked at him, "well do you." "Uh yeah and I'd really like to get back to them" Who knows what they're up to, they cant even function probably without his leadership. But hopefully Usopp was with them, in that case they'd be fine, Luffy concluded. "Can I get back to them, so we can leave." Maybe this guy asked him the question because he was planning to let him go. It was fun being here, getting to eat, and stuff. But he really had to go.

"I don't think so" that startled Luffy. "Why not" Luffy demanded "let me go. I need to get back to my crew. Did you do something to them, I will fight you if you did." "I simply asked to see what you'd say. I'm not letting you go. I can't and I won't." Then ever so softly, his words a small whisper 'I'm not going to lose you, again." But a mad and yelling Luffy didn't catch or pay attention to a word of what ever was said "I swear on my life as a pirate, that I will hurt you if you don't let me go.' Master clinched his teeth "calm down will you."

Luffy was still fuming, his fist held tightly together, he could feel his fingernail digging into his palm. "Don't tell me to calm down. Tell me where my crew is" The air in the room held thick tension as Luffy stared angrily at the older man. "Your crew's fine. You just can't see them" That was the last straw for Luffy, and speaking of straw his hat was missing. This guy had taken too much from him. Luffy pulled his fist back and swung hard.

The guy dodged in and Luffy's fight his the wall with so much force it made a carter. He pulled his fist back and prepared to swing again when he was hit. More like slapped but it had so much force in it, he the floor and couldn't move from the shock of it all. "Don't you ever try something like that again." His voice sounded angry, real angry. Luffy couldn't move, the hit was so unexpected it shocked him. Which was weird because had been hit harder slowly got up, his face throbbing and his fist still tightened he swung again. Luffy missed and a boot connected with his head. That knocked him out.

...

Luffy woke up a few hours later with a headache. He was lying on a bed in a dim lite room, his eyes trying to adjust to the room. His body was sore from hitting the floor and his head hurted. There was a cold wetness on his forehead, so he lifted his eyes best he could to see what it was. There was a cold wet rag on his forehead. It was soothing the pain but he didn't know where it came from.

"I'm sorry okay" there was a soft voice in the room. But with the lightning in the room he couldn't see who it was. "I don't want to hurt you, you know that right?" Everything was fuzzy as he was slipping in and out of consciousness. A medicine was placed on his wound and he cringed in pain.

'Shh, relax" the voice coaxed gently running his temples. The next thing to happen was weird and Luffy would've jumped if he wasn't so tired. The person lied down next to him, and held him. Luffy then realized it was man. "I'm not going to let you go. I just can't" it was his master's voice. Except it sounded like he was crying.

Trying to shift his body, Luffy could tell the guy was in fact crying. But the room was so dark he couldn't make out his face. And not to mention the medicine was taking effect making everything fuzzy. He felt the guy shift their position and Luffy found himself curled on top of him as the his master wrapped his arms around him, softly stroking his hair. It felt weird yet somehow relaxing. Right in some way, made him feel safe.

Luffy felt his master sniffle, he was still crying for whatever reason. But Luffy himself was too drowsy and sleepy to mind or ask about it. Sleep was calling his name and he'd happily answer it. "Luffy" his master said quietly, knowing that Luffy was fast asleep. Another tear rolled down his face as he watched Luffy sleep ever so peacefully, his snores echoing off the walls, chest heaving up and down slowl. "Luffy, please" his voice was cracking as more tears filled his eyes. He rarely cried, but this couldn't be helped.

"Remember me."

A/N: So how was it? Probably still wondering why Luffy doesn't remember Ace aren't ya. Well that will be answered soon enough, along with the whereabouts of his nakama. Just make sure to leave reviews.
