"Food!" Luffy moaned. It had been a few days since they had a decent meal.
"Shut up." Zoro yawned. A large caw came from above.
"Look! A bird! Let's eat that!" Luffy yelled
"Okay, bring it down." Zoro said. Luffy Smiled and stretched her arms up and grabbed the bird. The bird kept flying. Luffy hopped and was pulled up into the sky.
"Zoro! Help me! If I fall in the ocean I'll drown!" she yelled.
"Luffy!" Zoro yelled. He grabbed two paddles and jetted the boat forward to the island the bird was heading too.
A certain orange haired thief carried her stolen goods through town. Stolen from Buggy the Clown, treasure map and all!
"Help me! Zoro!" A girls voice yelled. The orange haired girl looked up and saw a girl hanging onto a bird.
"Oh my god!" She yelled when the girl let go and fell. Despite her self the thief made a small attempt to catch the girl. The girl just fell and bounced some.
"Ow ow ow." The girl said before sitting up. Then she looked at the person in front of her. "Hello I'm Luffy! Who are you?" she asked
"Nami..." Nami said.
"Well, it's nice to meet you. Now, have you seen a green haired swords man?" She asked. Nami looked over this girl. She was very pretty, if she just brushed her hair and took off the straw hat. Well, the straw hat seemed like it belonged there.
"Um. No." Nami said to Luffy.
Luffy noticed the bags Nami was carrying.
"You need help with those?" Luffy asked.
"Who are you?" Nami asked again.
"Oh, I'm a pirate, former Marine actually." Luffy grinned.
"You? A Marine?" Nami said trying to imagine that. Then the other word hit.
"Your a pirate?" She glared. Luffy smiled.
"Yeah!"
"I hate pirates." Nami said walking by.
"Oh." Luffy got up to follow. "Well, where ya off to?"
"..."
"Can I tag along? At least till I find Zoro."
"..."
"Hm. Any where you need to go?"
"I don't need you help. I'm a brilliant Navigator actually." Nami finally growled.
"A Navigator! Great!" Luffy jumped in front of Nami. "Join my crew!" Luffy smiled. Nami eyed this girl. She was different, but she was still a pirate.
"No." Nami said.
"Aw come on! I'll help you with whatever you need!" Luffy said. "Join me!" She yelled.
"Help me? Fine." Nami said.
"You'll join me!?"
"Maybe, for a little while. But you need to do something for me." Nami said. Luffy smiled.
"Sure!" Luffy smiled.
Luffy was tied up, being dragged my Nami.
"Why am I tied up?" Luffy asked.
"No reason. Just keep your mouth shut." Nami shrugged, happy this girl was gullible. She met Buggy at the port.
"YOU! YOUR THE BRAT WHO STOLE MY TREASURE!" Buggy yelled when she boarded. Nami tossed Luffy in front off Buggy.
"This is my captain. She asked me to steal the treasure. I'm sick off her so I'll join this crew." Nami said.
"Sick of her?" Buggy laughed. "I like you girl. What's your name?"
"I'm Nami." Nami smiled.
"Alright! Lets have a feast for our new member! Nami!" Buggy yelled. The crew cheered.
Zoro heard a commotion coming from a ship on the island. He managed to sneak on board.
"Do it." Some one said. Zoro looked around a corner and saw a girl with a cannon pointed at Luffy. She looked like she didn't was to light it. But, in the end, someone lit it for her. Zoro sprung into action. He kicked the cannon so it turned away from Luffy and attacked the clown pirate. The mans head came off but then Zoro was stabbed in his hip.
"Zoro!" Luffy yelled. The swords man got back up and staggered over to the cage.
"What happened?" He hissed.
"I'm really not sure, but that's not the point. Are you ok?" Luffy asked, eyes filled with worry. Zoro sighed.
"Yeah. I'll be fine. Lets get you out of here." Zoro said picking up the cage. Luffy scanned the ship and spotted Nami.
"Nami!" She yelled, getting the girls attention. "Hurry up! We have to escape!" Luffy yelled.
Nami was surprised, but she followed the two off the boat. Why did that pirate girl want to save her? After what she did? What she almost did? Luffy seemed more concerned with this swordsman then anything else at the moment. Zoro set Luffy down.
"Can you get the cage open? Luffy asked Zoro. Zoro shook his head.
"I think I'll take a nap." he said, falling asleep on the ground.
"Oh, okay." Luffy said, leaning back in the cage. "Nami?" she said. The orange haired girl looked at Luffy.
"Why should I open your cage?" She asked Luffy sighed.
"I guess your right." Luffy said,
a dog barked. Luffy turned to it.
"Hi puppy!" Luffy smiled, she stretched out a hand to pet it. The dog licked her. Nami watched in surprise. Was Luffy sure she was a pirate? She was so goofy and gentle and caring.
But then the dog barked again. Luffy looked around.
"Is that your store you protecting puppy?" Luffy asked.
The dog barked.
"I see." Luffy smiled.
Nami saw someone approaching them.
"Yep. That dog's been protecting that store for years." the man said. Luffy turned around.
"Who are you?" she asked,
"I'm the mayor." the Mayor said. Luffy nodded.
"Well, why's this dog protecting the store?" Luffy asked.
"This store is his precious treasure. He's protecting it, even after his owner died." The mayor said. Luffy looked over at the dog. She smiled at it.
"I know all about precious treasures! What a good dog!" Luffy praised.
The dog barked. Luffy laughed. The Mayor smiled.
"Oh! Mayor!" Luffy said.
"What is it?" he asked.
"That over there is my First mate Zoro. He's really hurt." Luffy said.
"Ah, say no more," The Mayor half dragged Zoro away. "He'll be right in here. I'll tend to his wounds." Luffy nodded.
"Thank you!" Luffy yelled. As the two disappeared into the small house. Luffy relaxed.
Nami got up.
"Hey! Where ya off to Nami?" Luffy asked.
"I'm going to get my treasure back." Nami said.
"Let me help you!" Luffy said , nudging her cage forward. Nami looked back at her.
"Get out of the cage, and do what I say." Nami sighed. Luffy smiled but then the ground was ruptured by a large bang.
"That's them Ritchie!" A voice yelled. Nami and Luffy looked up.
"Whoa! Are you a lion man!?" Luffy called up to him.
"Ye- wait, NO!" The man yelled.
The dog started barking.
"Aw, that little things trying to protect this store?" The man said, the lion growled in amusement.
The dog barked again. Luffy looked between them.
"Hey! Don't make fun of him!" Luffy yelled.
"Shut it kid!" The man yelled, the lion brought up a paw and slammed Luffy's cage into a far off building.
"Luffy!" Nami yelled, she ran over to the building. Leaving the lion to destroy the pet shop.
The Mayor had heard the commotion and followed Nami to where Luffy had flown. Luffy was pushing rubble off herself and standing up.
"Whoa did I fly!" Luffy laughed. Nami and the mayor ran up to her.
"You should be dead! How are you alive!?" The Mayor shouted.
"I'm a rubber human!" Luffy smirked. Nami was shocked but then she pointed behind her.
"Anyway! Their destroying the pet shop!" Nami yelled. Luffy looked serious now.
"Not while I'm breathing." Luffy growled before taking off.
It didn't take long for Luffy to defeat the lion, but the store had burned to the ground. Luffy picked up the dog.
"Hey. Don't be sad! You were brave!" she told it. The dog whimpered and sniffed around the store ashes. Luffy dug around and pulled out a bag of food.
The dog barked.
"See! You saved this!" Luffy smiled, handing the bag to the dog. Zoro walked out of the house across from the pet shop.
"What's going on?" He yawned.
"YOU SLEPT THROUGH THIS!?" Nami screamed. Luffy laughed.
"Hey Zoro! I need you to come with me, were gonna beat up the guys who did this." Luffy said motioning to the pet store.
"Whatever you say." Zoro said taking out his swords.
"Wait! He's not fully healed!" the Mayor said.
"I'll be fine." Zoro said
"Right! Then Lets go!" Luffy cheered. "Nami come on!" She yelled.
"What? Why me?" Nami said.
"Well, we need to get your treasure back right?" Luffy smiled. Nami was shocked. Again. Luffy was a pirate, but she was so nice.
"Yeah." Nami smiled, a real smile.
"The i'll come too! This is my town!" The Mayor said. Luffy and Zoro exchanged looks.
"Um. Okay. But you need to stay back!" Luffy said pointedly. Then the four ran off to confront Buggy.
