A.N. I yea, yea, I'm a terrible person, I know it, no need to remind me, I hate myself more than you do, now read!

Luffy's POV

Uhhh, this is so boring! I sat up from my bed and looked over our messy room; the hurricane is already continuing for three days and we're stuck here doing nothing! Being in lectures was more interesting than this! For the last three day all I've done was eat, sleep, annoy Kidd till he left the room and went off to somewhere, probably someone from his crew. And I also annoyed Zoro, he threw me out of his room telling me to find someone else to annoy!

I'm so bored of this! I jumped from my bed; what could I do… I walked into the corridor and was met by silence; wait, wasn't there a hell of a lot noise just a minute ago? I quickly ran down the stairs into the lobby and felt my eyes widen. The metal doors that were covering the normal ones from outside were silently sliding into the ground. When the process was complete a mat automatically rolled down on the gap where doors were; so that's where those doors came from!

I quickly got outside till the mean looking receptionist didn't said anything like I can't go outside… The outside looked terrible, there where huge puddles everywhere, broken trees and the ground was covered in fallen branches and leaves. I walked to the middle of the campus where the canteen stood and took notice that it was fine; thank goddess, I'm getting sick of eating underground… The light of those lamps is irritating me, I'll finally be able to eat in a daylight!

I looked around the buildings at which our lectures where held, the only destroyed building was the one Kidd and me saw collapse on the first day. There weren't anyone around and it was kind of weird 'cause there's always someone here… I turned at the port side and saw a bunch of people approaching the plaza, they were carrying all kinds of tools and wore brown overalls. All of them looked like some kind of workers, the stopped before the plaza and some strange tall guy wearing glasses gave everyone orders and after taking everything they need those people spread around the campus.

Some tall guy with glasses and ugly haircut came to me, he looked over my clothing and frowned. "Why aren't you wearing your work clothes? Where are your tools?" I shrugged ; what clothes, what tools? "Well it doesn't matter." He gave me a rake and a bag, pointed at some guy who was tidying up the plaza. "Go help him, if your clothes get dirty it's your own fault for not wearing proper clothes."

With those words he turned around and walked away, my eyes followed him a bit, but then fell on the guy the strange guy pointed at; well I can help, it's not like I have anything better to do and I'm definitely not going back to that dorm room any time soon. So I went to the gyuy and grinned at him when he raised his head. "My name is Luffy, some weird guy told me to help you."

The long nosed, tanned guy with visible muscles and long curly hair put a clenched fist on his chest. "I'm a brave captain Usopp!"

I looked at him with interest and started raking the leaves. "Captain? You have a crew?"

The guy sighed and also got to work. "No, though I wish I had one, I'm really good at shooting things you know!I would be a great captain!"

I nodded without thinking; this guy reminds me of someone I know… "Oh, which year are you?"

The guy looked away. "Well, I'm not actually attending this university…" I looked at him surprised. "You see, I came a little early, so the staff here though that I'm a new recruit and sent me to work. They never listen when I try to explain them that I came as a student and now it's kind of too late…" I looked over the guy; he's kind of weird, but everyone here is that way, he should have more courage… "So Luffy, you're a student here?"

I nodded. "yep, a first year."usopp sighed. "I wish I could attend…"

"Get back to work!"

I jumped startled cause the voice came so suddenly, we started working once again. The guy turned out to be pretty fun and for the next several hours I got to know a lot about him. After the main plaza was clean the glasses guy came back and gave us a break, I was feeling hungry, so I went back to the dorm with a promise to meet Usopp after lunch.

When I came here everything seemed so strange, I thought that it may be hard to communicate with people 'cause everybody would be hiding their identities. But instead I gradually understood that everything is almost the same as everywhere else, we all have our secrets we don't jump to tell just anyone. The nameless rule is just making things easier as people can't be judged by their last name; I grinned; I like Grand Line so far…

-II-

After the meal I went back outside and noticed that most of the things were tidied up already, only the broken trees and the destroyed building were still there. I saw people wandering around the campus; it finally doesn't look like a ghost town anymore…

I quickly reached the place where I agreed to meet with Usopp and saw my new friend already waiting for mw there. "Kuro gave us the rest of the day off as some guy from the second year volunteered to take care of the broken trees."

I raised an eyebrow. "Really? Well then that's good, how does that guy plan on taking care of trees?"

"Well it seems he's going to b…"

Usopp didn't end his sentence because a loud 'boom' reached our ears, then the smell of burning wood reached my nose; of course, he wouldn't miss a chance like this!

I started running to the source of the fire with a grin on my face, Usopp followed after me interested what I'm going to do. Soon we reached several broken trees that were burning some people had already reached the place and started looking around to see who did that only to see a young shirtless man, sit neaby and watch the flames with excitement. "Ace!"

My older brother turned at me. "Luf!"

A.N. (-_-) Don't kill me…? I just seriously need to take a break from this story (yes, those three weeks isn't enough…) I will try to make myself to write for this as soon as I can, but maybe after the Christmas it will get better and I will be able to control myself and my crazy ideas…? Well either way, unless I will manage to win the fight I'm having with myself there's gonna be some time till next update… I still hope you enjoyed this chapter! :}

I have a poll on my profile, will it be too much if I ask you to vote on it? :?
