As you can see guys, I am gonna make more of an effort to upload more regularly, like I did at the start of the fic. In this chapter, its the start of spring break.

Robin looked around. It was the first day of spring break and she had decided to start the day by heading to her favourite spot, a bench in the park overlooking the town centre. It was a nice spot for her to relax and just contemplate life.

She was doing that until a soccer ball flew about 5cm wide of her head and landed just in front of her. She turned around and saw Luffy running towards her, completely kitted out in full goalkeeping gear.

"I'm so so sorry... Oh hey Robin! What are you doing here?" Luffy said, as he picked up the ball.

"Nothing much, you?"

"Oh I'm just..." Luffy began, before he was interrupted.

"Hurry up Straw hat!" Eustass Kid's voice blasted, shattering the once calm serenity of the park.

"Yeah, how long does it take," Law grumbled, walking towards the bench, before he saw Robin. "Oh hey, fancy meeting you here."

Robin was surprised. Although the 3 were friends to an extent, she had never seen them actually hang out together outside of school.

"We're practising," Luffy smiled, noticing Robin's confusion.

"We've got a big match tomorrow, top 2 teams in the league, If we win, we win the league," Law continued.

"So the coach organised extra training today, not that we need it." Kid grumbled, completing the explanation.

"Come watch us!" Luffy excitedly said.

"I-I don't want to interrupt..." Robin began, before Law interrupted.

"Don't worry, Straw-hat's girlfriend is watching. Plus, You might motivate Roronoa."

Robin sighed in defeat, and followed the three to the park pitch. The whole school team, plus Ace, and a few other people Robin didn't recognise were waiting there, sarcastically cheering when Luffy threw the ball back onto the pitch.

Nami smiled when Robin approached, "Hey Robin, sit here!" she loudly shouted, waving and gesturing to the spot on the ground next to her.

Upon hearing Robin's name, Zoro's head snapped around and he smirked at the sight of his girlfriend and gave her a small wave.

"Who are all these people?" Robin asked Nami. "Isn't this the school team?"

Nami shook her head. "No, this is the local team, there's no age limit, which is why Ace and a few other's from the police force are playing."

"So who's the coach, it doesn't sound like the players like him."

"LUFFY! WHAT DID I TELL YOU BEFORE! NO EATING UNTIL AFTER TRAINING!" A loud voice blasted from just behind the two.

"Y-Yes Grandp- I mean Coach. Yes Coach!"

"Him..." Nami sighed. Robin turned around to see Luffy's grandfather Garp walking towards them, a massive frown on his face.

"Zoro! Sanji! What did I tell you about arguing!"

"S-sorry coach, it won't happen again," both mumbled, clearly afraid.

"Law! take those hands out of your pockets now!"

"Y-yes coach," Law stuttered, shocking Robin. She had never seen Law so un-Law like.

"Kid! What was with that shot! You nearly hit Miss Robin over here, and she was on the other side of the park!"

"S-sorry coach. I promise I'll work on my shooting before tomorrow." Kid quietely said, again shocking Robin. Where had his bad-ass attitude gone?

"Now listen up! You're all a bunch of losers! But it's my job as coach to make you winners! The League title is there for the taking tomorrow, and don't forget it! Every single player needs to give 110%, Got that?!"

"Yes sir!" the whole team shouted, all sharing the same determined face.

"Now thats what I like to hear! 5 laps round the pitch and then we're done! Everyone make sure you rest up, No excuses tomorrow, got it?"

"Yes sir!"

"I've got to say," Nami whispered to Robin, "Even though they don't like him, he really pushes them to their limits and gets the best out of them. They would be nowhere near the top if it wasn't for him."

Robin nodded. She could see that the whole team was focused. She rarely saw Luffy, Zoro and Sanji all looking so serious.

After running the laps, Luffy, Zoro and Sanji got changed and went to where Nami and Robin were sitting. Sanji then said he had to go to work and said bye to Nami and Robin.

"Any of you guys wanna go to town?" Zoro asked. Everyone nodded and were about to set off, when Garp appeared.

"Luffy! Where do you think you're going!?" Garp angrily asked.

"I-I was going out with m-my frie-" Luffy began before he was interrupted.

"Like hell you are! You and Ace are getting extra training, got it!" he shouted, pointing to a depressed looking Ace waiting in the car.

Luffy sighed in defeat. "See you later guys." He then trudged tiredly to the car, and flopped down next to Ace in the back.

"Poor guy," Robin said, looking at the car as it drove off.

"He'll live," Zoro grunted.

"Maybe." Nami added.

It was the day of the match. Around the pitch, there were about 100 people, some friends and family of the team members, others just soccer fans. It was one of the biggest matches to ever be played on that pitch. From the dressing rooms, the teams walked out, Ace leading the team as captain, Luffy just behind as goalkeeper. The two had completely serious faces on, both completely focused on the game. Ace then went to take the toss, won it and shook the other Captain's hand. Then it was ready for kick off, with Luffy's team kicking off.

As always, Luffy was in goal. Kid and Law were central in defence, the two full backs being Rob Lucci and Jozu from the police force. Zoro and Sanji were the central midfielders, with Kaku and Thatch from the police force being the two wingers. Upfront, Marco was partnered with Ace.

Ace and Marco kicked, off and the two worked well together to create the first chance, with Marco firing just wide from the edge of the area.

The first half was generally even, but disaster nearly struck at the end of the half. A long ball was played up, over Kid and Law's heads, and the striker from the other team, who was incredibly fast, ran beyond them and was one on one with Luffy. Luffy charged out, and the striker dinked it over Luffy's body, but Luffy stuck his hand up and pulled off an absolute wonder save. Law then cleared the ball upfield, and it was half-time.

"Luffy! That was amazing!" Nami cheered from the sideline, as the teams trudged off. Luffy looked at her and grinned, giving her a thumbs up.

The game became a lot faster in the second half, with both team passing the ball well, and creating many chances. Suddenly the ball fell to the other teams captain, a central midfielder on the edge of the area. He curled to ball right into the top corner, for what seemed a certain goal, but once again, Luffy pulled off an absolute wonder save, tipping the ball over for a corner.

"Jesus," a guy standing next to Nami and Robin gasped in admiration, "What a keeper!"

Before they knew it, it was stoppage time and Luffy had the ball at a goal kick. Ace gave Luffy a thumbs up from the edge of the opposition's penalty area, and Luffy grinned. He kicked the ball all the way to where Ace was. Behind Ace, the centre back charged forwards, but Ace chested down the ball, turning around the charging centre back. On the edge of the area, he let the ball bounce, before smashing a cracking half volley right into the top corner, the keeper having no chance.

1-0.

The opposition kicked off, but they had no time to respond and the referee blew the whistle for full time.

Luffy smiled, before he was tackled to the ground by Ace. "We did it!" he shouted.

"Nice job Law," Kid laughed, giving Law a high five.

"Right back at ya, Kid," Law smiled.

"Just once. We'll never do it again," Sanji grumbled.

"Agreed," Zoro quietly said. The two hugged each other quickly, before pulling away, looking away from each other.

Garp then walked onto the pitch, holding the Trophy. He handed it to Ace, who gave one handle to Luffy. The two then lifted the League trophy high into the air.

From the side of the pitch Nami was clapping and cheering whilst Robin politely applauded, a warm smile on her face.
