I am incredibly sorry for uploading so late...school and having fun made me forget. I'm terribly sorry. I hope you'll enjoy this chapter.

Luffy's POV

Yes! I didn't get late to school! Hell, I still have 5 more minutes until classes start! Luffy joyfully thought as he walked to his grand school's main entrance. He looked at his schedule, which was set up like this:

Period...Teacher(s)...Class...Location

1st Period...Mrs. Nico...History...Room 231

2nd Period...Dr. Hiluluk...Science...Room 256

3rd Period...Mr. Jinbe...Martial Arts...Gym

4th Period...Mr. Doflamingo...Economics/Business...Room 304

3rd Lunch

5th Period...Mr. Apoo...Band...Band room...318

6th Period...Mr. Newgate...Crew BondingOwn Crew Classroom

He wasn't looking forward to having History first thing in the morning, then having Science next, but everything afterwards seemed very exciting, so he smiled and headed for his homeroom class.

When he got there, there was a sign on the whiteboard that said

"Welcome, students. Today, we have 2 new students in our class. Please make them feel welcome. The Seating Charts are on the bulletin board."

Seeing this, Luffy trotted over to the bulletin board, where a small crowd was formed. He shoved his way through, ending up with many cussing and punching, but finally, he got to the front of the list. He was sitting in the 3rd row, 1st column, which was right next to the window. After he got to his seat, he quickly scanned the other seats that were around him, and discovered that a boy named Eustass Kidd sat in front of him, and he and his flaming red hair sat on the table, laughing with his buddies. Next to Luffy sat Jewelry Bonney, who was scowling at Kidd while eating some meat-lovers pizza. Luffy wanted to use his rubber powers to steal it, but he could tell she would protect the pizza no matter what cost, so he decided against it. Behind Luffy sat a girl with short blond hair, green eyes, and a bright green parasol with blue stripes hanging on her chair. She noticed Luffy's staring and walked over to him.

"I'm guessing you're one of the new kids? You look kind of wimpy, how did you get in? Anyways, I'm Miss Valentine. It's not my real name, but everyone calls me that, so you should, too." She chattered.

"I am, and you smell like citruses and oranges. Where are they? Oh! I'm Luffy, by the way. I'm going to be the pirate king! And I'm not wimpy." Responded Luffy, and walked toward the other corner of the classroom, where a girl with a long, bright orange hair was reading a book about Navigation silently. He instantly recognized her as one of the new students that was with him at the entrance ceremony, and also remembered that she was scary. So he cautiously crept toward her and tapped her shoulder as he said "Hey! I'm Luffy. What's your name? Also, do you by any chance know where "Own Crew Classroom" is?" pointing at the very last class on his schedule.

"No, and if you don't mind, I'm reading this book, and we only have about 30 seconds left until class starts, so I would like to get as far as I can." She coldly said, leaving Luffy a little bit sad.

Brrrrriiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnggggg the bell sounded and all the students scrambled to their seats, as the white-haired Nico Olvia gracefully walked in the classroom with a black clipboard and a backpack, which held all of the things she needed today for teaching. She continued past the whiteboard to her desk, hung her backpack, and smiled warmly (she tried to, but there was some kind of sadness in her eyes) at the class as she started speaking.

"I'm sure you have heard that there are 9 new students at this school today, and 2 of them are in this class. Nami, Luffy, please stand up from your seat and introduce yourselves, please by saying you name, hope/dream, and what you like or dislike."

"Hi! I'm Luffy, and I'm going to be the pirate king! I also like meat, adventures, and if any of you try to wreck my hat, I'll break you." He said happily.

"I'm Nami, and I want to be a navigator. I like money and oranges, but I don't like people who uses me or is a asshole." As soon as she said the last part, she prepared to be yelled at by the teacher, but she just smiled and said "Thank you. Now today, we're going to talk about the Marines, or Navy." While she was giving instructions about this year's plans, whispers were being told by a bunch of dumb guys.

"Man, that girl's really hot. I call dibs."

"No. I get the girl. I am Bellamy the Hyena, after all."

"You? No, she would choose a smart, good-looking guy like me."

"How 'bout a contest? We all get a try at asking her out and the best man gets her."

"Sure, since me, Absalom-sama, is going to get her." A lion-gorilla-bear-elephant guy said while looking at Nami greedily. (Author's Note (AN): I know. Creepy pervert.)

"Absalom, what are you doing?" Nico Olvia's clear voice rang as most of his classmates turned around to look at Absalom with a smirk or a sneer. As for Luffy, he was too busy fantasizing about the tonkatsu that Makino promised him that she would make for dinner.

"I was listening quietly about the instructions that you were giving to our class." He said, while gritting his teeth, because in this school, when you were caught doing something that was bad, you would have to take a "Sea King Attachment" class after school, which could possibly take your life.

"Oh. So could you please repeat to the class what I have just said?" Nico Olvia said, a smirk playing at the corner of her mouth because she knew that his response was going to be amusing.

"Um, of course. You were telling us about our new project, which is about making a scale model of our dream ship…right?" He said, his eyes quietly begging his "friends" for support. But they just ignored him and even whistled a little. Seeing this, he slumped his shoulders and looked at Nico Olvia with a "please-forgive-me-if-you-don't-I'm-going-to-die" look, but she just ignored that and said

"Well, I guess I have to inform Princess Shirahoshi and Jinbe that they'll be getting an attendee from this class for their "Sea King Attachment" class. Please make sure that you tell us what you guys did at the class tomorrow, okay? And one last thing. They added a whole flock of new sea kings, so you might want to be careful. Use this as an advantage to learn that misbehaving in class will get you nowhere." She said, while writing a note in her notebook that was attached to the clipboard. Hearing this, Absalom slumped more into his chair, making it look like he was melting.

"By the way, what I was really talking about was this year's plans. To be more precise, I was talking about an upcoming field trip to the Florian Triangle! Isn't this exciting? We'll all go there in one big cruise ship, and then once we get to the hotel, you guys can split off into your own crews and we'll play games such as ship racing and such. If you get in a good rank, you can buy furniture for your crew's classroom from the school budget." She looked around at her students as they whooped, cheered, and consulted their crew members on what they should do once they got there. "Oh, and class is going to be over in couple minutes, so you may start packing up. Remember what I told you today. Also, Luffy and Nami? Please stay in class, for I have something to tell and also ask you." She clapped her hands once to signal class being dismissed and moved away as a sea of high school students passed her.

"So, Luffy and Nami. I was given the task of telling you the first secret of this school," she started as she looked into her two new students' eyes, which was widening with excitement. "This school trains students to be successful Marine/Navy officers, Pirates, and Assassins or Spies. The assassins and the spies are in a whole different program and also a different campus, so you don't have to worry about them. Anyways, this class is only filled with students who would be best as a pirate, guessing from your resume. Headmaster Rayleigh was actually the right-hand of the famous Gol D. Roger. Don't act so surprised. He's actually the strongest man I know, even at that age. Everyone in this school has to be in a 'crew', who are probably the friends you will have for life or people who you want to be with when you're stuck in a whirlpool, fighting, and such. You can join other crews, but first you have to be accepted by them, or you can create your own crew. Luffy, I heard you wanted to be the Pirate King. I suggest that you start your own crew, but this might be hard, since everyone else except the new students including you two, is already in a crew, and you might want a strong crew before the next challenge, at the end of the month. Of course, some people can quit their crew to join a different crew, or two crews can smash together to make one big crew, but these doesn't happen often. So I think you should appeal your qualities to be an amazing captain during lunch. You probably also want to meet the other new students that was with you, before the other crews get to them first. I believe there was a cook named Sanji, a swordsman named Zoro, a musician named Brook, a shipwright named Franky, a doctor named Chopper, a navigator, Nami, that's you, a sharpshooter named Ussop, and…an archaeologist named Robin." She said, choking up a bit on Robin's name. Nami noticed this, but thought that she might not want to explain, so she shut her mouth and kept on listening as Nico Olvia regained her calmness. "I could arrange a meeting for all of you…how about fifth period? Don't make that worried face, I'll make sure to gain permission from your teachers. Are there any questions?" Nico Olvia stared at her two students, and kept on staring until Luffy spoke up.

"What's an 'Own Crew Classroom'?" He asked, with furrowed eyebrows as he tried to absorb all of the information he just gained.

"Oh, sorry. Once you get a crew, each and every crew, no matter how large or small, gets their private classroom, with security systems and a desk. Of course, when your crew can't fit anymore, you get a bigger classroom. Since there's only a desk for furniture, we hold competitions, where the winners will get to order an item, whether it's an oven, Pac-man game, comfy chairs, a conference desk, a telescope, you name it. As long as it's in the ordering catalogue, you can order it. However, if you're the Grand Prize Winner, then you might get a whole kitchen set, multiple arcade games, whatever set you want. It's pretty amazing, when you think about it. Now, I will write you both hall passes to your next class. Luffy, what's your next teacher's name?" She asked, and did the same for Nami as she wrote them both a slip and passed it to them. When she gave the hall pass to Luffy though, she whispered "Please keep Robin safe."

Once the two students got outside to the hallways, Nami looked at Luffy and spoke somewhat strictly as she said "You know what? From what I've seen, most of the students here are assholes. So can I be your navigator? I don't mean to brag, but you won't find one as good as me around here, you know. But I have one condition. I will also be able to manage all of the money that you gained in the present or future."

Hearing this, Luffy smiled broadly and replied "Awesome! I trust you, and I'm pretty sure that I won't last a second on sea without a navigator, and you seem to be really nice, I think, so okay! They shook hands to complete their agreement, and they went their separate ways to go to their second period classes.

Please Review! And I also realized the other day that I was using POV wrong. Sorry.
Also in this story, Nami does not backstab.
