Okay! I'm bored, and I just posted the chapter up too! Oh well! More for you!

Chapter 11

The drunken gang all stared at the swordsman as Wolfkill was reconsidering his new opponent.

"What's yer offer?" He asked.

The swordsman sat down and Luffy threw in the beli. "4,800 beli."

Wolfkill nodded as he sat down as well and threw in his 12,000 beli winnings.

"And my 'treasure'." The swordsman said as he placed his three swords.

Wolfkill whistled when he saw the blades. "Nice blades you got there…" He then grinned. "Yer sure ya want a back down?" He placed the golden heart down on top of the swords.

"We haven't started and you're already talking about backing out?" The older teen said.

"That's right, sorry 'bout that." The old man said as he snapped his fingers and the drunks brought out barrels of rum.

"Lots of rum you got here." The blind swordsman said.

"Good ears on ya. We used the rum that's not been used through the years, so we have some nicely aged rum to drink up!"

"Makes me feel honored."

The drunks placed huge, keg-like mugs before them and poured the rum to the rim.

"Rum champion for twenty years, Bor Wolfkill!" Said the half somber announcer as a huge cheer went out. "Rum Challenger, Roronoa Zoro!"

"Yeah!" Luffy cheered, not bothered that he's the only one that cheered.

"Ready? Drink up!"

Both men grabbed their mugs and started to drink up.

About an hour and a half later, the festival passer bys were watching this feat with the drunkards and the young captain, and were amazed when the swordsman had yet showed signs of being drunk.

"Is this guy even human?" Said one drunkard as Luffy laughed.

Wolfkill looked just as shocked as the rest of the audience. 'Dammit! A challenger would be down fur the count!' He thought as he continued to drink.

Zoro felt fine on his part. 'Free rum all I want and nicely aged too!' He thought with a mental laugh. 'Man I'm glad that I dragged Luffy with me, otherwise we would raise hell on the ship.' He grinned at the thought.

After ten barrels, Wolfkill started to show signs of slowing down; He wasn't used to drinking this many in each challenge. The whole town seems to be watching as people tried to go through to have a better look.

"No way…" Said one drunk as he was holding an empty bottle and tried to get a drop from it.

Then Wolfkill just had it and fell to his side, unconscious.

"I win." Zoro seemed to sang out as Luffy and the towns people cheered while the drunks were shocked and stared at their once champion. "We'll take the 12,000 beli and the heart." He said as Luffy collected the items. He got up and surprised a lot of the townsfolk when he could stand and walked normal.

Mako was too shocked for words as the two went up to him.

"Here's your treasure back!" Luffy said with a wide grin. "Don't lose it!" He handed it to the shocked young man. With that he and the blind swordsman walked away from the drunkard's corner. "You were so cool!" He said as he wrapped his arm around his first mate; not using his ability.

The first mate liked the feeling of being praised, especially since he had about ten or eleven barrels worth of free rum. "What now?" He asked.

Luffy looked around when he saw an antique shop when he remembered something. "I still owe Robin that one time she helped me out!"

"When was this?"

"It was the day before that huge sea monster attacked and…" He paused, remembering that it was that night that made his first mate and best friend forget everything.

"What is it Luffy?"

"It was before you lost your memory…"

Zoro found the other's hand and gave it a squeeze. He didn't know what to say or do to comfort the young captain, but he felt the squeeze return and knew that's what the other wanted at this time. "So, what do you plan to do?"

"Well… Robin likes old stuff… so…" The young captain said as he dragged the other, which gave an odd yelp of surprise. "To the antique shop!"

"Luffy! Wait! I'M GOING TO FALL!!"

Back on the ship, Sanji and Nami were both pissed at finding out that both the captain and the first mate were gone.

"Where the hell were you, Usopp!" The young woman said to the sniper.

"I was trying to re-create the paralysis powder for future battles!" Usopp defended.

"I didn't ask for what, I asked for where!"

"In my room!"

She then growled. "Where the hell could they be!"

As if on cue Luffy and Zoro came on board. "Hey everyone!" The young captain called.

Nami and Sanji glared at the two. "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN, BAKAS!" Both of them yelled.

Zoro swiftly stuffed a piece of beef they saved into the chef's mouth while Luffy diged into his pockets and took out the 16,000 beli.

"Shut the hell up." The swordsman said.

"Here you go Nami!" Luffy said.

Both the chef and the navigator were shocked to say the least.

"What the hell did you put into my mouth?" The chef asked.

"It's beef with spices from North Blue." The swordsman said as he wiped his hand on Usopp's cap.

"What the hell Zoro!?"

"I got some of the crap cook's saliva on my hand."

"Nani!?"

"Where did you get all this beli!" Nami said. "This isn't the amount that was missing from the vault!"

"Missing?" Luffy questioned. "How could it be missing if I found it in my pillow?"

"YOUR PILLOW!?"

"Oh and Zoro was in this rum contest, after we got some meat to eat, and he won and got 12,000 beli and this golden heart that belonged to this one guy named Mako."

Nami just stood there, completely dumbstrucked as she sighed. "Who could be dumb enough to put 5,000 beli in your pillow?"

Luffy chuckled. "Someone who thinks we deserve a night at the festival."

Nami sighed. "At least you didn't bring trouble, for once, and returned with enough beli for me to forgive you and Zoro."

"Thanks…" Zoro said, not really wanting to be forgiven for his idea, which made the chef tried to do a kick to the back of his head.

"And whose fault is that?!" Sanji said as the other ducked, making him almost loose his balance.

"You should've known to let two pirates on board when we're in port and in a town that's holding a festival."

Sanji was really pissed for two things: 1)the Marimo was right to some level and 2) he couldn't think up anything to counter argue with that.

"Forget it Sanji-kun!" Nami called. "They're back, that's all we need to know!" She headed up to her room when she added. "I would like that fruit smoothie you were talking about!"

"Yes Nami-swaann!" The chef called as hearts appeared in his vision.

As soon as the pirate chef disappeared into the kitchen, Robin walked out and smiled.

"So that's what all the ruckus was about." She said.

Usopp sighed as he walked to find Franky to see if the cyborg was done repairing the damage the Marines done.

Luffy chuckled as he looked at Robin. "We got something for you Robin!"

Robin looked a little lost and somewhat taken back. "Oh?"

"Yeah!" Luffy looked at Zoro. "Still have it?"

The swordsman grinned and held up a box that was in the bag that carried the beef earlier. "Right here."

Luffy grabbed it and well as grabbed the other's hand and slightly tugged him forward. "Here Robin!"

Robin grabbed the box, which was the same size of a shoe box, and opened it to see paper, the kind you find when you have something fragile. She carefully took the paper out and gasped.

Within the box was a porchalin doll with straight black hair, about to the shoulder, with a yellowed fade white head band, a slightly aged yellow dress with ruffles at the collar, sleeves and the bottom part of the dress, and the doll also has black shoes that haven't been shined for some time. Over all the doll wasn't bad with only minor, small cracks here and there.

"You like it? It was covered in dust when we found it and it was all the way in the back!" Luffy said. "I almost didn't see it at first!" He laughed.

"Luffy…" Robin said, almost completely speechless. "I don't know what to say…"

"A thank you speaks a lot more than you realize." Zoro said.

She smiled as she gently held the doll towards her. "Thank you… Both of you…"

Luffy smiled, feeling that he made the right choice of what the archeologist wanted. After all, he's a captain, and it's his job to make everyone feel like at home and happy.

Robin excused herself, saying she knows how to fix the doll and goes into her room. She looked at the doll, whose eyes were blue with a small tint of green. She remembered the money she snuck into Luffy's pillow, but she never thought about being rewarded like this. "How did they know that I've wanted this doll since I was a little girl?" She said to herself as childhood memories cane into her mind.

She always saw her cousin have dolls, but she thought they were ugly. Then she came across a picture in a history book of a girl in a portrait that had the doll in it. She always wanted one, but the archeologists told her that those kinds of dolls were either in museums, collector mansions, or were damaged beyond repair. That broke her little girl heart to hear that.

She was crying now, but this time with pure joy.

Aww! Don't you think that was nice of Luffy and Zoro to do that for her? Well, that's that for this chapter. Be aware that there may be another one on its way! R&R!
