Please please pleeeeease review...i really really want to know what you think about the story so far...thank you!
She stood at the other end of the alley, with her arms crossed. Luffy looked at her fully for the first time and noticed she was slightly shorter than him and her skin was a hair darker than his which made it seem like a natural tan. She had short curly hair that matched her soft brown eyes but her face was unreadable.
"Who are you and what the hell do you want here?" She asked bored.
"My name's Monkey D. Luffy. I want you to join my crew!" He replied.
Startled, her eyes widened. "I'm sorry?"
"I want you to join my crew!" Luffy repeated.
She opened her mouth to argue with him but was cut off by someone calling down the street.
"Luffy! Luffy! Where are you!" Nami had her hands cupped around her mouth and was about to call for the thousandth time when she spotted him from the corner of her eye. "There you are! Hey everyone! I found him!" Nami shouted over her shoulder before running towards the alley.
"Hey Nami! Look who I-" But before Luffy finished his sentence, he was hit upside the head.
"I told you to be back at the docks in 2 hours! And of course, you're not there!" She grabbed him by the shirt and started to shake him when she noticed the woman standing further down the alley. "Oh…I'm so sorry if he disturbed you. Please pardon us." She bowed toward the woman and forced Luffy to do the same. The rest of the crew appeared at the entrance of the alley and looked to see what was happening.
"But Nami! She's a part of our crew now! That's what I've been trying to tell you!" Luffy said pushing her hand away.
"Well then why didn't you say something?" Nami hit him on the head again.
"Hey! Sorry to break up your little lover's quarrel but don't I get a say in this?" The woman shouted.
"You mean you haven't accepted his request yet?" Nami looked unsurprised.
"No I haven't and frankly I don't want to…I hate pirates…I always have and always will."
"I'm not going anywhere until you join my crew…what will it take for you to come along?" Luffy asked.
"Nothing in this entire world will make me join your crew." She replied fiercely.
"Then how about a dual." Zolo cut in. He was starting to get tired of the endless arguing. "If Luffy wins then you join the crew but if you win then we'll leave you alone and you can go on with your regular life."
"That's fine with me. How about it? A fight between me and you." Luffy started to get excited.
Sighing, she finally gave up.
"Fine. We'll dual. But my name's not 'you'. It's April."
