I said I have a horrible memory before, and that is very true. I just notice that when I introduced Luffy I forgot about his scar, so I now mentioned it in this chapter. I will forget about things like this every now and then, but just so everyone knows all characters look like they do before 3D2Y.

Fair warning, This is the start of a little OC Luffy,but not til the ending.

Chapter three: Pirate in Cocoyasi

"Ah, so good," Straw-hat sighs in content, a large piece of meat in his hands. He walks through Cocoyasi, exploring the town. Making his way to the end of the town, he spots a large dock, and a couple of large ships. "I wonder if they have a ship I could borrow?" He says, as he changes the direction he was heading to.

Heading to the large pier, he makes his way over to a ship, passing two navy soldiers. "Hey-Hey you wait!"

Straw-hat looks at the two navy soldiers with his large owlish eyes, as they run up to him. "Yeah?"

"Civilians are not allowed to trespass here!" States the Navy soldier, with light purple hair. He has large glasses on, wearing the uniform of a Navy soldier, while holding onto the large rifle.

"Ah, okay, I'll tell you guys if I see any of those Civilians," said Straw-hat, continuing on his way.

"Wait!" The other Navy soldier says, and the two stop in front of Straw-Hat. "You are a Civilian!" The long blonde hair soldier says. He wears the same uniform as his partner, along with the rifle. His voice sounds really high like a girl, causing Straw-Hat to mistake him for one.

"Oh, I'm sorry Mam," Straw-Hat bows his head to him.

"I AM NOT A WOMAN!" The blonde headed soldier shrieks. "My name is Helmeppo, and my father is a well-respected Navy Captain, Axe-hand Morgan!"

"Helmeppo calm down," the shorter soldier tries to ease his partner. "My name is Coby," he says turning back to Straw-hat. "And you need to leave; only Navy soldiers can be on this pier."

"No," Straw-hat answers Coby.

"What?" Helmeppo speaks out. "We are Navy soldiers, you better listen to us!"

"Sorry, but I need to get on that ship right there," Straw-Hat points to the ship behind the two. Coby and Helmeppo turn around to see the ship he is pointing at, then they look back at Straw-hat shocked.

"You can't get on that ship! That is the fastest ship in the Carribean!" Helmeppo says.

"No it isn't," Straw-hat grumbles, getting annoyed by the two soldiers standing in his way.

"What ship is faster than it then?" Helmeppo challenges.

"The ship with Black sails, the-"

"Black Pearl?" Coby interrupts Straw-Hat. Helmeppo bursts out laughing, while Straw-Hat stares curiously at Coby.

"Oh Coby, come on now, everyone knows that ship doesn't exist," Helmeppo says.

"Helmeppo many people have say they seen the Black Pearl out at sea," Coby reasons.

"Okay, so you're telling me that a few people have say they seen a ghostly ship faster than anything in the Caribbean. With a terrifying, blood thirsting Crew, that not even hell would take. And a Captain, so evil, so utterly despicable, that evens the devil himself looks like a wonderful noble woman compared to him."

"Hey, I'm just telling you what I heard."

"Well, I'm just telling you how ludicrous it sounds, right?" Helmeppo and Coby are met with air, as Straw-hat has disappear. Looking around they spot him on the ship at the wheel. "Hey!"

"Oh hi," Straw-hat says, as the soldiers point their rifles at him. "Uh oh."

Scene Change~

"The view is wonderful from up here isn't it Nami-swan," said Sanji, as he and Nami stand atop the flat roof area of the large Navy HQ building, looking out at the large body of water.

"Uh…Yes," Nami gasps out. Walking the stairs up here made her lose her breath, with the very tight dress on it has become harder to breathe. She waves her fan she carries faster, as she leans against the cemented brick wall. "So…what did you wish to…speak about…..Sanji-Kun."

Sanji does not notice her breathing trouble, as he stands away from her, fidgeting nervously. "Nami-swan, we have known each other for a long time now," sweat beads down Sanji forehead as he clears his throat. "And you have grown up into a beautiful woman," if Nami was not having trouble breathing she would of blush at the comment. "So, Nami-swan, I would like to ask for your hand in marriage."

"Oh God."

"Yes I know this is sudden but, Nami-swan?" When Sanji turns to face her, he finds she is gone. Running up to where she was standing he looks over the cliff, seeing the water rippling as if something large fell in. "NAMI-SWAN!" Sanji screams, and then starts running as fast as possible to where Nami fell into the sea at.

Scene Change~

"And that there is how you make a hippo sing for you," Straw-hat finishes, as the two navy soldiers nod their heads.

"I see," they both say. Their conservation ends quickly though, when they see a woman splash into the water next to the boat they are on.

"So, one of you going to save her?" Straw-hat asks Helmeppo and Coby.

"I can't swim," Coby says, and Helmeppo just shakes his head. Sighing, Straw-hat removes his crimson jacket, handing it to Helmeppo. He then hands Coby a pistol, and a sword along with a compass. He kicks his sandals off, and with his Straw hat now hanging by a string around his neck jumps into the water.

He swims quickly to the falling orange hair girl. As he is about to grab ahold of her, the golden medallion that was tucked inside her bosom, pops out floating in the water. The water ripples like a large fish jumped out of the water, and Helmeppo and Coby are confused as to what caused it.

When Straw-hat grabs Nami, he makes his way to the surface, and when he breaks through the top Helmeppo and Coby are there to help him on to the deck.

"She's not breathing!" Coby announces after Straw-hat gets his sandals back on.

"Move," Straw-hat orders, and he rips the dress off of Nami, handing the inner layer to Helmeppo. Nami, in just her white sleeping gown now, starts breathing.

"How you know that was it?" Coby asks curiously.

"Ever been to Tortuga?" Is Straw-hat's reply. He does not wait to see if Coby answers, as he takes ahold of the medallion around Nami's neck. Nami slowly open her eyes to see a raven black hair boy in front of her, a small scar under his right eye. Her first thought was that the boy was extremely handsome, and she would have blushed at the thought if she wasn't already from being cold and wet. "Where did you get this?" Straw-hat whispers to her and Nami looks down at his hands, seeing he is holding the medallion.

"Stand," a strong voice orders, and Nami looks over Straw-hat's head to see Sanji along with Kohza and other navy soldiers. She then looks back at Straw-hat and sees him grumbling under his breath, but not hearing what he is saying. Straw-hat follows Sanji orders, standing straight up to stare at the blonde headed commodore. Nami places the medallion back in her shirt, and with the help of Navy soldiers stands up and is carried behind Sanji a blanket is wrapped around her. She sees Helmeppo holding part of her dress that he quickly drops when she looks at him and he points at Straw-hat.

"I would like to thank you for saving my Nami-swan," Sanji says. He pulls from his blue navy coat pocket a small cigarette, lighting it and placing it in his mouth.

"You're welcome," Straw-hat answers, a large grin spreading across his face. Sanji holds his hand out to Straw-hat and Straw-hat hesitantly brings his hand up to shake. Sanji then forcefully grabs his arm, twisting it so the bottom of his wrist is showing, where the tattoo of the letter 'P' is.

"Pirate," Sanji mutters. "Arrest him," Sanji commands his soldiers.

"Wha-What?"

Helmeppo and Coby hurriedly brings the items Straw-hat gave them showing them to Sanji. "Let's see, we have a rusted blade, a pistol with one shot, and a compass that does not point north." Sanji inspects each item. "Well, it seems you have a nice coat, but otherwise you do not seem to own much, Monkey D. Luffy."

"It's Captain Monkey D. Luffy," Luffy says as the Navy soldiers turn him around placing on his cuffs.

"A Captain with no ship? My God, you have to be the worse pirate I ever heard of."

Luffy turns his head to the sigh, grinning at Sanji. "But you have heard of me."

Sanji is about to reply, when Nami steps between him and Luffy. "Sanji-kun, why are you arresting this man?" She asks having not heard the truth about Luffy being a pirate. She was walking away and heard soldiers talking about the man who saved her being arrested, having not known the reason she headed straight back here.

"Nami-swan he is-"

"Look, this guy saved me, I am sure if it is just a crime involving stolen food we can pay for it," Nami says.

"Ah, thanks," Luffy says behind her, as the navy soldiers finally cuff his hands. It all happen too fast for Nami, as she feels the rusty chains around her neck, and Luffy holding her.

"What the-"

"Nami he is a pirate!" Kohza yells at her, but it is too late.

"My stuff please," Luffy tightens his hold around Nami's neck. "Give them to her."

"A pirate," Nami whispers her eyes widening in fear. Not wanting a repeat of her past, she stomps upon Luffy's foot with her high heels. Luffy howls in pain, but keeps his hold on Nami.

"Ouch that hurt!" Luffy shouts, looking down at his poor foot, that is now sporting a bruise. "Why'd you do that?"

"Because you're kidnapping me! Pirate Scum!" Nami shouts trying to break free of his hold. Luffy, being slightly taller than her, tightens his grip around her, and then whispers in her ear.

"Look, I'm sorry about this, but you owe me. I saved your life, just get them to hand over my stuff and I will let you go, you can trust me please," the sincerity in his voice causes Nami to stop her struggling. Also taking into the fact that he did save her, and that she was disliking the way the Navy soldiers were pointing their guns in her directions, she nods her head willing to follow his plan.

She holds her hands out for his stuff, and Helmeppo and Coby give them to her after Sanji orders them to. Luffy steps back, and Nami follows his movement still holding his stuff. Once far enough, Luffy whispers in her ear again. "Okay, now turn back around and put my stuff on me."

"You have got to be kidding?" Nami complains glaring sideways at Luffy.

Luffy shrugs, rattling the chains of his cuffs. "Not like I can do it."

Grumbling under her breath, Nami mumbles a fine. Turning around to face Luffy, she holds back a blush at how close he is. Even though he is a pirate, she still cannot help but think he is cute. She puts his gun and sword around his waist, and then throws his crimson jacket around his shoulders. She is about to move his straw-hat out of the way, but Luffy grabs her hand. "Don't touch the hat," he tells her sternly.

Nami is surprise by his outburst, but nods her head slowly, while he places the tattered Straw-hat on his head himself. Nami then straightens the jacket out along his shoulders so it is firmly in place, and then finally places his compass in his jacket pocket.

"There done," she says. Luffy smiles brightly at her, and Nami has to force herself not to smile back.

"Thanks, you even knew where to put my compass," said Luffy.

"Whatever, now are you going to let me go?" Nami asks almost forgetting the predicament. During this time, she completely forgot that Luffy is a pirate, the one thing she hates most in the world, but the way he acts, it's not like a pirate at all.

"Ah, okay," Nami blinks her eyes a few times, as she thought that Luffy had a look of disappointment on his face after saying this. Nami turns around and they walk back to Sanji and Kohza, Luffy still holding her.

"Alright you have what you want, now let Nami-swan go," said Sanji, having watch the entire ordeal. It took everything in him not to grab a gun and shoot Luffy right on the spot, having watch Nami dress him the whole time. Luffy looks up at Sanji blankly, before showing one of his huge smiles.

"Okay, one more thing though," Luffy says confusing everyone. Then to everyone shock, most of all Nami's; he spins Nami around, and plants his lips right on top of hers.
