Chapter 3:Another brother, Bye-Bye bad Clowns Part 1!

(AN: Sorry last chapter was really Chapter two but a mistake was made so this is the real chapter three. Sorry!)

Zoro sat inside the cage the big top idiots put him in, truly if you are going to put a person in a cage then at least take away they're weapons so they can't get out. Zoro wasn't complaining that he still had his swords with him, he was just focusing on the idiots stupidity.' Oh well at least these guys weren't that boring to watch.' Zoro thought.

"*Sigh*"

"Zoro looked at the sleepy eyed man in the cage next to him. "Bored?" Zoro asked keeping his voice low.

"Kinda, their antics were interesting the first few days, but now their act is kinda old." The man said while looking like he was gonna fall asleep in a bit.

"I can imagine, ...any idea why you in this mess anyway? No offence but you don't look like a guy who goes around looking for trouble."

"*Snort* I'm not. I just came to the city a little while ago to take a look around. Next thing I knew I'm in here. They probably thought that am my little brother. It wouldn't be the first time someone made that mistake, his name is Marco."

" Marco?'

" Marco the phoenix, he's the first division commander of the crew led by some guy named Edward Newgate or something like that. I haven't actually seen Marco for a while. I wonder what he's doing right now."

"What's your name anyway? You haven't told me yet."

" It's Polo."

"..."

" Don't say it." Polo stated bitterly.

" I wasn't going to say anything." Zoro deadpanned with a raised eyebrow.

" ... Sorry man. I just get a little ticked when anyone mentions that what water game whenever our names are brought up in the same topic. It's bad enough that people mistake who is who even though I have black hair while Marco is blond, and I'm three years older than he is. I also have paler skin than him yet people still mistake the two of us. *Snort* Though I do find it funny that our names match that of a water game even thou either one of us can swim anymore. Ironic isn't it?" Polo sighed out and ended with a chuckle.

Zoro gave a lop-sided grin at the irony to.

" Shishishishi, that's pretty funny." a new voice added in. Both men jumped a bit before turning and seeing the dark-haired girl crouching in front of their cages with a bright smile. " You have got to be fond of being a prisoner if you keep getting yourself into things like this. First the marines, now a pirate, what's next a bounty hunter?" Luffy joked before literually cutting the roofs of the cages off with a small but strong jet of water coming from the tip of her pointer finger.

Polo started chuckling and Zoro blushed in embarrassment before saying, " Shut up!"

"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" The group turned and saw that they gained the attention of the pirates that put the two into cages. All of them turned and looked at the three.

Luffy smiled before tipping her hat to the people in front of her. " Shishishi, pardon me but you see Zoro happens to be part of my crew and so I can't let you keep him in a cage for to long. And he seems to have made friends with Polo here so I can't leave him behind now, it would be very rude of me if I did, shishishi."

Zoro and Polo didn't say anything while they got out of the now roofless cage. In truth they were to busy looking behind the Buggy pirates, the cannon they had loaded a few minutes ago was now seemingly changing direction on its own (Mei's psychic power) and was now pointing at the buggy pirates. A match floated up from the ground near the cannon.

" WHAT!? LISTEN KID, YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT! THOSE MEN ARE THE PRISONERS OF THE BUGGY PIRATES! DO YOU HAVE A FLASHY DEATH WISH!?" Buggy shouted at the nerve of the girl in front of him. He and his crew never noticed the floating match light itself. But Polo and Zoro tensed at the sight, getting ready to run and Luffy's smile got wider.

" Shishishi, as much as I would like to continue this conversation, you might want to take a look at your cannon while the three of us LEG IT!" Luffy said before the three bolted out of the area as soon as the match lit the fuse. The Buggy Pirates looked confused for a few minutes before turning and seeing the loaded and lit cannon pointed at them. They screamed right before the cannon blew.

A Few Minutes before the cannon blew-

While running away Zoro stumbled a bit because he saw Polo suddenly shifted forms and changed into an electric serval then bolted ahead of the two panicked. Soon he felt Luffy's hands going under his arms and knew what she was planning to do even if he didn't like it, he prefered to keep his feet on the ground and not the air thank you. " Luffy!"

" Lo sentimos Zoro, pero tengo que ir rápido!"( Sorry Zoro but we have to go fast) Luffy said before picking him up and flew fast enough to catching up to Polo. Soon the three reached a safe place and heard the screams and the cannon going off. Both men breathe a sigh of relief while Luffy got distracted by something else.(AN: Luffy's change of language will be explained later on.) " Ay qué lindo perrito!" ( Aw what a cute puppy!) Luffy said before going over and scratching the dog on the head. The dog didn't move but it's tail wagged.

" Zoro, are you ok?" Boris asked concerned about his new friend. Mar, Mei, Nami and Elliot all stood close by. Mei looked a bit tired from what she just did but pleased just the same. Zoro nodded and Polo, who now just looked like and oddly colored serval instead of an electric one, went and sat by Zoro's sided and gave an 'Sorry bout that' look. The gust owl flew over and landed on Luffy's shoulder.

" Hey you nasty pirates leave poor ChouChou alone!" Every one of the group turned to see a man who had poodle like hair and what looked to be a bit of armor over her green button up shirt.

"We weren't doing anything to the dog. We just got here after getting away from the big top rejects. Captain here was just petting, ChouChou was it, before you came along." Zoro said as the rest nodded.

" That's right si-" Polo started to say when the man screamed.

" AHHH! TALKING CAT!"

That seemed to make Polo depressed." I'm a person, not a cat, a tailor to be accurate."

Luffy's eyes lit up as here said that." Sweet, we could use a tailor in the crew! You should join us!"

Polo tilted his head in confusion." Um, not that I would mind being a pirate or anything but why would pirates need a tailor?"

" Duh, pirates get into fights a lot so their cloths rip or are cut. Yeah, they could repair it themselves but it wouldn't be nearly as good. Plus a tailor could make new cloths and lets not forget the ship, someone will have to fix the sails."

" You know she does make a good point." Nami said, thinking about it.

"Now that we are on the topic of roles of a pirate crew, whose job is whose on ours? I know Luffy's the captain but what about the rest of us?" Boris asked.

" Shishishi, Well as you said I'm the captain, you Boris and Elliot are temporary crew until you find whatever you guys are looking for, Mei is the look out- she can't be the first mate because she's not really a person that could fight besides me in the front lines of the action-" at this Mei nodded " Mar keeps track of the ship making sure we have what we need, Polo is going to be the tailor, Zoro the first mate, and Nami is going to be the navigator."

" That sounds like one colorful bunch...HEY! WAIT A MINUTE! I NEVER SAID I WAS JOINING YOUR CREW! I'M A THEIF THAT STEALS FROM PIRATES NOT A PIRATE!" Nami angrily shouted.

" Sorry miss Nami, but you have no choice. Once Luffy dissides she likes you and named you part of the crew your stuck." Mei said with a small smile. Zoro gave a nod at Mei's statement. Nami let out a cry of frustration while Luffy laughed at the thought of the fun things all of them are going to have. The gust owl mimicked the sounds and arm movements Luffy was making the best he could.

Polo looked at what was going on and just shrugged with a smile, " Why not, not like I have anything else to do. We'll need to pick up my wife and adopted son on the next island after we finish what we started with Buggy though...she's at Syrup Village looking for some kid that is said to have great potential to be a sniper. I think you guys may like them. My wife is a pretty women with red hair, dark skin, and a lot of tattoos from the chin down, she's a sharpshooter. My boy is about Mar's age and sticks to my wife's side like glue most of the time, he's a very...bounsy kid. They both would absolutely love the idea of being pirates and yell at me if I refused the chance to be in one."

Luffy scratched her chin in thought," Syrup Village... Oh! The kid you're talking about must be Yasopp's kid." The group heard a gasp and turned to see Mar whispering into Mei's ear. Mei's eyebrows scrunched up before nodding.

" Polo, would you mind keeping ChouChou company while the rest of us talk to this man?" Mei asked while Mar gave him a pleading look.

Polo sighed, he could never say no to a kid without good reason. " Sure just bring me something to eat later."

Hey weirn018 here, I typed this chapter up myself instead of giving the written version to my cus to type and my computer doesn't have word so I couldn't fix all my mistakes in spelling and grammer. The next chappy will be the Straw Hats vs Buggy and his crew, plus a peek into Luffy's past. Anyway enjoy and review.
