Chapter 2: Welcome to Grand Line High

"Welcome to Grand Line High fellow students and staff."

The assembly had finally started. The students were all there in the huge assembly room sitting down on the provided chairs. The staffs were also there too listening to the school's most powerful man. The man appeared to be rather on his late 30s or early 40s; he also had a pet mouse that is squeaking cheerfully on his front pocket. The principal petted his precious pet before he spoke again.

"As a principal of this school let me just say that it's an honor to have you all back to this school," he looked over to the crowds to see some students smirking. "And to those who don't like it here well too bad and you can go to hell!" he said annoyed. The students began to giggle and some were clapping their hands. Some of the staff felt embarrassed for the principal's childish attitude, one of the teacher whispered to the woman who looked like is the principal's secretary.

"Kaliffa-san is this one of Iceburg's normal habit?" the teacher asked.

"Yes Paula-san," Kaliffa sighing agreed. "He can be quite childish at times."

"Back to serious matters," Iceburg spoke up again. "Last year we bid farewell to our 12th Year students as they are finally were mature enough to handle the real world as responsible adults. By the end of this year we'll also bid goodbye to another group of 12th Year students." He then smirked. "That's as if they can make it."

More students began to giggled, some of them look rather angry at him. Iceburg scanned around the crowds and meet Kaliffa's eyes; she's one of the people who angrily eyed the principal. He quickly spoke again. "And of course to those students who are having trouble passing the year 12, my door will always be open for any help."

Some of the staff began to look impressed, the students were also too. Kaliffa's angry look turned to a smile, Iceburg threw a breath of relief he when saw that. He then talked again. "Other things to mention, we have a whole range of new staffs to help us this year. These include a new staff recruit called Junior Staff who are staff trainees to this school. I suspect good behaviors from all of you towards them. They are also to be treated like responsible adults and respectable staff members."

Somewhere in the students crowd Zoro is snoozing happily. Usopp elbowed him and then he quickly got up to a proper sitting position before anyone noticed him.

Vivi who was sitting down behind the guys, she elbowed to Nami and whispered to her quietly. "Hey Nami do you remember Tashigi-chan from last year?"

"You mean the clumsy glasses senpai that you befriend with?" Nami asked. "Yes I did."

"She's a junior staff member now," Vivi whispered excitedly. "Isn't that great?"

"Great for you," Nami muttered. "Well she always wanted to work with Smoker-sensei anyway, can't blame her for joining the school."

"Let's see…What else to talk about?" Iceburg stood looking rather quite foolish on the stand. He's browsing through the paper notes that he brought with him, finding reasons to hold this assembly in the first place. Some of the students giggled and tried their best not to laugh at what he muttered through the microphone.

"Cafeteria, no screw that! Parking offense, whatever! Blah blah blah! Some more random crap! Rules of using computer in school? Not my problem. Complains from parents, as long as they don't complain about me! OK we're all done!" He threw the rest of the paper behind him. He then left the stand and walked to take his seat next to his secretary while the students clapped their hands and cheered for the principal. Another man walked into the stand, he's the same man who announced the assembly before the principal's speech.

"Ok, thank you Principal Baka-burg, uhh I mean Iceburg," the man said out loud. He had a blue hair jelled up and his arms are larger than any average human's. "That's all for today's assembly kids. Now let's go out there and make this a SUPER year!!" The man did a quite embarrassing pose to the kids that involve lifting his huge hands over his head and leaning his body towards the left.

"Why is Vice Principal Cutty Flam doing that pose?" one of the staff asked to the man with glasses.

"It's just one of his habits Cobra-san, you'll eventually get used to it," the man replied while he adjusted his glasses with his palm.

Encouraged by the vice principal's words o move out, the students began to leave the assembly hall one by one and into the hallway. Luffy, while walking with Sanji, was still laughing from the vice principal's pose.

"Hey Luffy," said Sanji. "What do you have first?"

Luffy stopped laughing. He picked up his timetable sheet from the pocket. "Uhmmmm… Home Economics?"

"WHAT!"

Luffy looked at Sanji. "Is that hard? Do I have to remember lots of stuff?"

"Luffy do you know what home ec is?" Sanji asked. Luffy shook his head.

Sanj sighed. "It's a cooking class."

"Suge!!" exclaimed Luffy. "Do I get to eat stuff?"

"No, you have to make the stuff," explained Sanji.

"Awww," moaned Luffy. "I wanna eat it, not cook it."

"Poor Paula-sensei," sighed Sanji. "She has to cope with an idiot like you…while she can have someone like me!!" Sanji floated in his "other" tone that some kids are just not too familiar with. Sanji is known for his love for every girl in the school…well at least to the pretty ones that's for sure.

"Not with that attitude she will," said Zoro as he passed by his two friends.

"No one asked you asshole!" Sanji cursed at him. Zoro just waved at the two people not bothering to look back. He disappeared when he turned right to the hallway cut and into the History classroom.

"What do you have first Sanji?" Luffy asked.

"English," he replied dully. "God I hate English! Why the hell do I need to learn English anyway? I'm not gonna go to freaking England!"

"Hey I know!" Luffy exclaimed out loud. "How about if we trade timetable? We can switch subject!"

Sanji looked at him as if he he's the biggest idiot in the world. "Luffy! Just because we switch timetable doesn't mean that we switched our subjects!"

"You can't?" Luffy asked. "Oh well. Bye!" Luffy turned left at a corner cut and entered the Home Economics class. Sanji sighed and look at his watch.

"One minute before class. More than enough for one," he said to himself. He looked left and right to watch the students gather their books and equipments to class, but that wasn't what he's watching for. "Good he's not here!" He dashed out of the hallway and into the school yard. He ran to the other side of the building leaning on the wall. Sanji took one last look around, there are no staff members nearby or anyone else. Sanji picked up a cigarette from his pocket and began to smoke it.

History class

Zoro sat down on a random desk not caring who's sitting next to or where the position is. He lied down on his desk after settling in and soon enough his eyes began to close in. He never liked History, he usually slept through the whole lecture not caring to learn about it. He's been in history since 10th grade so he knew that Clover-sensei wouldn't care about it, hell he never did. A random tug on his uniform woke him up, he turned around to the girl who's sitting behind him.

"Ohayo Zoro-kun."

"Oh it's you Conis," Zoro grunted. He turned back around and laid his head back on the desk.

Conis tugged on his uniform shirt again. No response. She leaned closer to his head and whispered, "If you don't get up before sensei gets here, you're going to be punished."

"Why bother?" he said back. "Clover-sensei never cared when I slept in class, he gave up on me since 11th grade."

"But I heard that there's a new sensei for this class," said Conis.

Zoro tried hard not to scoff at her. He knew her very well; she's been in the same history class with him since they were in 10th grade. Conis watched over him making sure that he got everything taught in class and always trying to keep him awake to avoid trouble. Sort of like a guardian angel for him.

"Well then I guess this newbie sensei should get used to with it," he said.

Conis was about to say something but a creaking door noise shut her up. She sat down on her desk in an orderly manner. Some of the students too. The new History sensei walked in class with some paper works and a clipboard. Students eyed the new teacher with fascination, the boys got a weird look on their face and the girls viewed the new teacher with respects. The new teacher looked around the class, a smile curved on the tip of the mouth. The new sensei walked to the blackboard, picked up a chalk and wrote something on the board.

"Good morning class," the sensei spoke while still writing on the blackboard. "I am your new History teacher my name is Nico Robin." The new sensei finished writing on the black board to show her name written on it. "You may address me as Robin-sensei." The new sensei turned out to be quite a beautiful lady, her black hair is shoulder length long and her skin is quite tan to make her look rather exotic. She seems to be quite young too, like about late 20s and not older than 30s.

She took a look around the classroom, the boys drooled all over her and the girls all seemed to respect her. Robin smiled to her students, she's happy that her students seemed to like her considering that this is her first day. A barely audible snore noise got her attention though. She looked on her left by the window there's a green haired boy sleeping on his desk. She approached to the sleeping boy; Conis began to worry for poor Zoro. Robin stood next to Zoro's desk, she didn't tap him or tried to wake him up, she just stood there.

"Can I help you Robin-sensei?" Zoro asked still closing his eyes.

"What's your name young man?" asked Robin.

"Roronoa Zoro."

"Well Mr. Roronoa," replied Robin. "Do tell me this. Is it really okay for you to sleep during my class?"

"Clover-sensei let me sleep through his class," said Zoro.

"Well this is not his class now is it?" Robin asked politely.

"Get used to it!" Zoro said annoyed. Zoro expect Robin-sensei to snap at him or do something rash to him that's for sure, surprisingly he felt nothing coming out of her as a reply. This is not normal for Zoro, he knew that when he disrespect a teacher they would at least be angry but she didn't. Zoro got his head up from his desk and looked at her.

"Strange," he thought. "No reply from her."

"Find something amusing Mr. Roronoa?" Robin asked smiling.

"No Robin-sensei," Zoro replied.

"Good," she left his desk and walk back to the blackboard. The students began to murmur and whispered to their friends about Robin's calm attitude and Zoro who gave in to her. Conis threw a breath of relief, thanking that nothing bad occurred to the new sensei and Zoro.

Zoro looked at Robin-sensei with deep thoughts.

"This teacher is different that anybody else," he thought to himself. "I should be more careful."

Robin- sensei looked away from her textbook to meet Zoro's eyes. She smiled at him before turning back to her teachings. Zoro shifted his gaze away from her to turn to look outside the window, some people may not see it but truthfully Zoro's face flushed red.

Home Economics class

Luffy stood there in class looking bored as usual, the teacher hasn't arrived yet but he's already bored out of his mind. Most likely he fell asleep even the teacher did arrived. The kitchen class is fairly a larger class than the other classes but the number of students is fewer than average class. Most of the students in this class were girls though there were 3 or 4 guys including Luffy himself. He moaned out loud just before he slumped on the stove.

"Luffy!!"

Nami, Luffy's childhood friend and fellow classmates pulled him up from the stove and dropped him on the ground. Luffy looked up to the angry Nami.

"What the hell are you thinking? That was the stove! You're not supposed to lay your face on that thing!" she angrily tutored him.

"But I was bored…" he moaned out still on the ground.

Nami sighed quietly and pulled Luffy up. "Sometimes I wonder why you even took this class."

Just then a blue-haired woman walked into class. The students took a look who she was, it's none other than the woman who talked to the principal's secretary during the morning assembly. Her blue hair is darker than Vivi's and was tied down with an apron just like Usopp. She didn't look like a student since she appeared to be around her late 20s and not wearing a uniform. The students began to dispatch and stood behind their allocated stove in a properly manner.

"Morning class," she simply said while walking towards her desk.

"Morning Paula-sensei," the class muttered.

"Couple things to mention first, I'm sure you guys have noticed that our class is missing some students," Paula-sensei announced. "That's because we have a new home ec teacher to help out so then we got to bring the other half of the students to another class."

"That explains why Sanji-kun is not here," Nami thought to herself. "That's a relief!"

"Second thing to mention," Paula-sensei looked to a sticky note on her folder. "Monkey D. Luffy!"

Luffy stood up straight after hearing his name. "I didn't take anything from the food supplies! I swear!" he quickly said.

Paula-sensei sweatdropped while some of the students were giggling. Nami held her head in embarrassment.

"I'm sure you didn't," Paula-sensei smiled. "The school counselor wanted to see you right now, Luffy-san."

Luffy looked at her with a puzzled expression. "But I didn't do anything," he said.

"I know you didn't," she replied. "But he said he wanted to see you right away."

"Just go Luffy!" Nami pestered him. "I'm sure he just wants to have a word with you."

Luffy nodded his head understandably. He picked up his bag, took the permission note from Paula-sensei and left the classroom. Luffy walked out of the class and made his way to the counselor room, which was on another building where all the important staffs worked. He took a look around the hallway and school yard, it's very empty and quiet.

"Wow, it's so empty and quiet when no one was around!" he said to himself.

"Who said no one's here?"

Luffy stood motionless in the position. He turned around to see a tall and build white haired man. The man was wearing a matching blue sports tracks and jackets, he's also carrying a sports bag over his back.

"Why are you outside of class Monkey D. Luffy?" he asked.

"Hi Smoker-sensei," Luffy happily greeted.

"Don't "hi" me," he rudely interrupted. "Why are you outside of class?"

"I got a note," Luffy showed the note he took from Paula-sensei.

Smoker-sensei took the note from his hand and read it quietly. He gave it back to Luffy and signaled him to move. "Move along then," Smoker announced.

"Bye Ossan," Luffy left the big sensei to the staff building.

"Don't call me Ossan! It's sensei!" Smoker yelled out angrily. Smoker smirked as the boy disappeared to the building, he turned around and found one of the class door nearby opened. The teacher who peeked out looked at him questioningly.

"Something's wrong?" the teacher asked.

"Nothing, just get back to your teaching," Smoker replied.

The teacher shrugged and went back in to his class. He walked back to the blackboard and continued his teachings. There in the crowd of students, Sanji sat in his desk twirling a pen on his mouth looking bored just like any other students.

"Alright guys now back to class," the teacher spoke up. "I'm going to write a sentence in English and I want you to tell me the noun. 'The ball is red…'"

As the teacher went on with his teaching, Sanji took his eyes away from the black board and turned to the girl who sat in the front row. The girl had a long black hair, and it took Sanji's breath away. He then began to breath heavily by just looking at her, his right eye slowly turned to a heart shaped and is poking out of his socket.

"How about you Sanji-kun?"

Sanji quickly shifted his eye back in and get rid of that perverted look on his face. He stood up from his desk and looked at the English teacher questioningly.

"Would you care to answer the question I asked you?" the teacher asked.

"Damn that Blueno-sensei!" Sanji thought to himself. "He just had to pick me!"

"I'm sorry sir would you please repeat the question again?" Sanji asked politely. He tried to keep the anger rage inside him.

"Well now if you for once would stop staring at Laki-san here and pay attention I wouldn't have to repeat myself," Blueno-sensei announced.

The class giggled and smirked at Sanji. The black haired girl that Sanji was staring at, also known as Laki, looked away from Sanji with a smirked look on his face. Sanji felt like his heart had been stabbed with a rusty knife. He didn't care if he embarrassed himself because of a girl, this is what expected of him, but when a girl was embarrassed because of Sanji, now that's a different story.

"Never mind then Sanji-kun," said Blueno-sensei. "Take your seat and I'll ask someone else who actually is paying attention to this class."

Sanji sat down on his desk embarrassed for not being able to answer a question.

"Now I know why I hate English!" he thought to himself.

Accounting class

"…And so then if you have a profit of 300, you add that to your debit account therefore your credit account will be 580. You got that?"

The class shook their heads confusingly. The teacher slapped his head and shook it. He took a deep breath and asked the students. "Ok which part that you don't get?"

Vivi who was in the middle row with her little friend GW (also known as Miss Golden Week) sitting next to her raised her hand. The teacher pointed to her. "Yes Vivi?" he asked her.

"How did you get the 40 debit right there?" Vivi asked pointing to the value in the blackboard.

The accounting teacher looked to the blackboard. "Ahh yes you see since you worked for another company and you only get…"

"They really should get a new accounting teacher," GW whispered to Vivi.

"Kuro-sensei is an OK teacher, it's just that he's not explaining enough and rushed too quickly," Vivi whispered while taking notes.

"In times like this I really wish I dropped accounting," GW said simply.

Usopp, who was sitting right behind the two girls, tapped his pen furiously to the table. His notes weren't filled with anything that's on the board; they were all filled with doodles of a chibi Usopp looking like a hero. Among the sketches were Usopp as a pirate riding on a boat, a knight Usopp protecting an unknown princess from a dragon that looked like Sanji, and Usopp dressing like a warrior fighting with other warriors that looked like Zoro and Luffy. Usopp sighed again, he's very bored. He looked around the room for a clock but can't seem to find one. He looked up to see Kuro-sensei still explaining Vivi's questions on the board with his face glued on the blackboard. Usopp stuck his head out to Vivi and GW.

"Hey girls," he whispered to them. "What's the time?"

Vivi acted like she didn't notice, her head and brain is fully into this accounting subject. Usopp scowled at the ignoring Vivi, he looked towards GW who showed him the time. Usopp scowled again, but this time at the clock.

"Dammit!" he cursed. "Another 30 minutes! I can't wait to get out of this hell hole!"

"You're not the only one," GW added.

"Am I the only one here who is actually paying attention to this class?" Vivi whispered while still doing her work.

"Tssk tssk tssk," whispered Usopp. "Naïve little Vivi, GW-san and I are artists, and you're a politician. We're both different!"

"What politician?!" Vivi angrily whispered. "This is accounting you idiot! Not political and legal studies!"

"But I thought that's what you wanted to be," said GW.

"Says who?" Vivi asked.

"Uhhh you did," Usopp replied.

"Miss Nefertari!" Kuro-sensei yelled out. "Are you taking this all down?"

Usopp quickly shifted his head back into his desk territory and pretend to be taking down notes, GW turned her head back and pretend to write some stuff in too.

"Yes sensei, I am taking this all down," Vivi replied.

"Good!" Kuro announced. "And you Usopp! Don't pretend like you're doing work, I know you're not putting this all in your head!"

Usopp looked up from his fake notes, he looked to Kuro-sensei with an innocent face.

"Why Kuro-sensei," he said. "Me? That's preposterous. I love accounting."

"Stop lying for once will you," Kuro snapped.

"What?" Usopp asked. "Me? Lying? I never did such a thing."

"You're doing one right now," Kuro replied. "Now stop wasting my time and go do some work." Kuro turned back to the blackboard and start writing a new question, Usopp turned back to his doodles and drew some more doodles. This time he drew a chibi Usopp stabbing a chibi Kuro, Usopp giggled at his creation.

"So you don't want to be a politician?" GW asked Vivi while taking notes.

"Not now GW-san," Vivi replied still glued to her notes.

Staff building

Luffy entered through the threshold excited for being away from class. He took a look around the area, it's surprisingly big. This is the place where all the office people and important staff work. He looked through the right corridor, there's a long hallway filled with staff members doing their work. The place more looked like an office cubicles than school area. He walked in a bit further marveling the surrounding and the atmosphere, the staff area had never been this fun for Luffy.

"Can I help you young man?"

Luffy turned around to the front desk where the receptionist asked him. The receptionist is surprisingly old and strongly resembled a frog, which gave Luffy quite a scare.

"You got sent here kiddo?" the old receptionist asked him.

Luffy picked up his note from his pocket and show it to her. "The school counselor said he wanted to see me," said Luffy.

The receptionist took a look at his note. She picked up a bottle of wine under her table and took a gulp at it while reading it. Luffy looked surprised at her drinking during her job.

"Ahh yes you're Luffy," she said. She picked up her phone and dialed the counsellor's number. The receptionist took another gulp from her drink while waiting for the counselor to answer it. Luffy was still surprised at her drinking. He took a look around, the other staffs don't look like they care.

"Cobra-san," the receptionist spoke from the phone. "I got Monkey D. Luffy here just like you asked for."

"Thank you Kokoro-san," came the reply from the phone. "Please lead him to my office immediately."

Kokoro hung up the phone and took another gulp from her wine. She looked at Luffy who had a weird look on his face. "The counselor will see you now Luffy," she said. "It's the 2nd door on the right pass the hallway behind you."

Luffy turned around to look at the hallway behind him, he then turned around to look at the receptionist. "How come they let you drink during work?" he asked.

Kokoro laughed at the boy's comment. "The principal was old acquaintance of mine, he'll let me drink as long as I work properly." She replied to his question.

"That's not a good role model for students," he commented.

"The counselor will see you now Luffy," she repeated. "So don't worry about me!"

Luffy shrugged then walked down to the hallway. He turned to the 2nd door on the right. The sign on the door said "School counselor: Nefertari Cobra".

"Ohhh Vivi's dad," Luffy thought to himself.

Luffy entered through the door without hesitation or knocking on it. The man who was working on his desk looked up and smiled at him.

"Ahh I see you invite yourself in," he said.

"Well you said I can come in," Luffy said simply.

The school counselor, also known as Cobra, smiled again at the boy. He is a very naive little boy indeed.

"Yes I did said that," he gestured to the seat right in front of him. "Please take a seat Luffy. We have lots to talk about."

Luffy sat down on the provided seat in front of him. The door to the counselor office closed leaving the two mean to discuss about Luffy's future and grades.
