Makino POV (Weren't expecting this, eh?)

I was cleaning the bar, when Mayor came in. He was wearing brown pants, a yellow button up shirt and his red and white hat. "Hello, Mayor. What may I get you today?" I greeted him.

"Just water," he replied. "You know I'm too old for all that sake."

I giggled and poured him a glass of water. "Here you go. It's on the house."

"You're such a sweet girl, Makino. Why do you work here of all places?"

"I don't know. I feel like this job is for me," I answered honestly.

The mayor shook his head and took a sip of water. Not one second later, four cloaked figures walked in. Despite being mysterious, I greeted them in the usual way: "Hello. What may I get you today?"

The cloaked figures sat down on the swiveling stools (you know what I mean) then one of them answered, "Just a mug of sake for each of us."

I nodded and went to pop open the bottles of sake. While I poured each mug, I couldn't help but overhear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words (I'm sorry that song got stuck in my head when I wrote this) "Where to next?" a feminine voice asked.

"Well, I'm planning to stay here, I don't know about you guys," a muscular voice said.

"No! You have to come to Grey Terminal with us, you have to see the treehouse we made as kids and Dadan who lives on the mountain," another manly voice said.

"I, for one, don't want to see Dadan again," said a female voice, slightly different than feminine voice #1.

Before anyone could reply, I brought their mugs full of sake. "Thanks," they all said. The one who ordered handed me a bag of coins. I opened it and saw coins that could last me a while. Another cloaked figure was making a sound that sounded like sobbing. "No! Not the Beries!" she cried.

"Don't mind her," the one who handed me the coins said. "She's just obsessed with Beri."

"And I have a good reason, too."

The man laughed. "I know you do."

"If you're done having so much fun," another man interrupted. "Can we take off these cloaks? I want Makino-chan to see who we really are."

I tilted my head at that. These people know me? I saw the Mayor take out a baseball bat (from where I don't know) and nod at me. You never know if these are perverts who want to rape me or something.

"Fine." The one who handed me the coins took his hand out from under the cloak, and raised it to his head. He pushed down the hood and I saw the face of LUFFY!

"Luffy!" I ran around the counter to hug him and ruffle his hair. I expected him to push me away and say he's not a kid, but he just hugged me back.

"Hey, Makino. I missed you," he said.

"I missed you too."

It was a sweet little moment until Mayor had to ruin it. "What are you doing here, brat?" That was his way of saying 'Why didn't you visit earlier?'

"Shishishishi. In the New World you don't really get to backtrack. We had a special helper help us," Luffy said. His laugh has changed a lot. When he was little, all he could say was titititi (That's why his laugh was like that in chapter one) but now it's a full hearted laugh.

"Idiot, that wasn't even the question," feminine voice #1 said. She pulled back her hood to reveal Kris. WAIT, KRIS!

"Wait, Makino," Luffy told me before I could squish her into a bear hug. "That's not Kris it's Nami, her twin."

Nami took off her cloak to reveal blue jeans and a bikini top. That's something Kris wouldn't wear. Unless she's around Luffy...

"I'm Kris," the other female voice said. She took off her hood to reveal Kris (for real this time). "Hey, Makino."

I went to give her a hug. "I'm so glad you're okay," I told her.

"What what? You're gonna forget about me, Makino-chan?" I turned around to see the last cloaked figure take off his hood to reveal Shanks!

"Shanks!" I ran to him and kissed him. He wrapped his arm around me (remember Shanks only has one arm) and kissed me back. After a few seconds someone cleared their throat. "I know you're busy making out and all, but Luffy and Kris are gone," Nami said.

Shanks and I looked around to see that, indeed, they were gone. "Where did they go?" I asked.

"Probably to Grey Terminal," Shanks replied.

"What's Grey Terminal?" Nami asked us.

"It's a place where the kingdom puts their trash," Mayor replied.

"Why would they want to go there?" I questioned. "That's the worse place to go."

"I have no idea, but lets go there."

One hour, five minutes, and millions of dirty looks from people in Goa Kingdom, we arrived at the gates to Grey Terminal.

"I never thought that I'd voluntarily come here," I muttered to myself.

When the two guards tried to stop them, Nami took out a weird blue staff and bonked them on the head with it.

"Let's go," she said.

Her and Shanks pushed open the gates. I looked in to see... people who looked like they were dead walking around and toying with metal on the ground. They looked at me and Nami as if we were lions and I was fresh meat. I hid behind Shanks. "I don't wanna be here," I said.

"Don't worry, Makino," Mayor said. "I'll bonk anyone who tries to make a move on you with my bat." He swung his bat to show an example.

"Maybe we shouldn't look for Luffy," Shanks told Nami.

"Of course we should. I'll work my magic on them." She walked over to one of the men and talked to them. She took out something from her pocket and handed it to the man who looked grateful. Then, she walked back over to us.

"He said that he saw two people in cloaks run towards that tree over there," Nami said then pointed to a huge tree overlooking the terminal.

Mayor looked at Nami and asked, "How did you get him to tell you?"

"I have my ways."

"Anyway, how the hell are we going to get up there?" Shanks asked.

"I don't know," Nami, Mayor, and I said.

Suddenly, Luffy and Kris walked towards us from who knows where. The only way I could tell it was them, was by the cloaks they were wearing. Nami walked over and hit Luffy on the back of his head. "You idiot! Why couldn't you have waited for us?" she hissed.

"I had to make sure no one was in the treehouse," Luffy responded. "But we found something troublesome." He turned all serious. "There are people in the treehouse, but you'll never believe who they are."

"Oh no, Luffy's acting mysterious. That's never a good sign," Kris said.

"Why don't we check out the treehouse?" Mayor said. "You never know if the people in there need a good bonk on the head."

"Again I say, how are we gonna get there?" Shanks asked.

"I don't know," I replied.

"Hold on for your life," Nami warned us.

Luffy spread his arms around all of us, then stretched them towards the tree. He got a good grip and shouted, "GOMU GOMU NO ROCKET!" Suddenly, we were being shot at the tree at incredible speeds. I held on to Luffy's arm and didn't dare let go. I heard screaming, but I couldn't tell if it was me, Nami, or Kris.

We landed in a heap at the foot of the tree. I felt sore all over. Luffy, Shanks, and Kris were the first ones up. "That was fun," Shanks said.

"I know," Luffy agreed.

Nami groaned. "I'll never get used to that."

I was about to comment when a young boy's voice said, "Who the hell are you people?"


A/N: Hmm I wonder who it is. This fic is gonna get a helluva lot more interesting.

Anywayyyyy, I'm planning on breaking Robin and Luffy up and making Kris hook up with him. You'll see why. I'll add some LuRo scenes in before I break them up, though. Next POV will be... either Kris or the mystery boy. Most likely Kris.

If you haven't noticed, Kris is a tomboy. Well, tomboy-ish. She'll wear shorts, but not anything girly.

When I said that song was stuck in my head, I meant I Write Sins Not Tragedies by P!ATD. If you haven't, listen to it. It's about a groom overhearing a bridesmaid and a waiter talk about how the bride is a whore. He's like wtf haven't you ever heard of closing a door? But, he doesn't say that, he thinks it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality. Then, he's like 'technically our marriage is saved'. And... yeah that's basically it. It's still a good song, though.

Anyway (again), I'll see ya guys later byeeeeeeeee- Eduayn 3
