In Djibouti, Sabo And Luffy sat outside their condo late at night going over their plan.
"Here's your ticket." Sabo hands Luffy his flight ticket for tomorrow morning.
"Once you get there just check in at Air Japan, it's the exact plane we took coming here." Sabo instructs.
Unfortunately, Luffy hasn't paid any attention while in the airport for the first time, he's still a bit confused on where to go in the airport and what to do.
"Can't I just call you if I get lost?" Luffy suggests.
"Your phone plan isn't international, remember? You can only make calls once you get back home."
"I could call you on Kumagram."
Sabo looks at his brother, "well, yeah I guess that can work."
"Sweet!"
The door behind them opens up, Luffy hides his ticket.
"What are you two doing out here? It's pretty late. Sabo we have-" Dragon stops and looks around, "come on inside."
The two boys walk inside, closing the door behind them.
Dragon fixes himself some liquor and sits on the couch watching the news. Luffy phone notification dings, signaling he got a new message.
"Um, I'm gonna take a bath." Luffy lies, heading to his room.
Once he disappears, Dragon turns to Sabo. "So you got him a ticket behind my back?"
"Wha-"
"Don't act clueless, I heard you guys outside."
"Ummm, er-"
"It's…..it's fine. If he really wants to go back, who am I to stop him…."
"I'm sure he'll miss us and Djibouti, it's a beautiful country."
"Hm…"
Luffy locks the door behind him and flops onto his bed checking his messages on Kumagram, he thought it was Nami who had messaged him but surprisingly it was Rebecca.
"Hey Luffy." He reads her message.
"Hey Rebecca, what's up?" He responds.
"You weren't at the back to school party, did something come up?"
"Actually, I'm not even in Japan, I'll be back on Monday morning."
"Wait, so I won't be at school? It's the first day back."
"I'll be there, but I'll be a little late."
"Oh, I saw Nami at the party, she seemed really happy although you weren't there, I was going to ask her why she's in such a good mood then I saw her making out with Kidd. I even have a photo of the two."
Rebecca sends Luffy the photo she took of Nami and Kidd, Kidd being seen leaning in for a kiss.
"I approached her, but she just gave me this dirty look, like I was inferior to her." Rebecca lies again.
Luffy didn't respond to her, actually, he was furious at her. How dare she try to lie on Nami?!
"You're lying." Luffy tells her.
"Luffy I know you're in disbelief, I didn't think our student president was a liar or cheater, but I'm so disappointed in her."
Luffy leaves her and messages Nami instead.
Back at the girls house, Koala paces back and forth in the living room. Nojiko got dressed in her night wear and Nami sat on the couch deep in thought.
"Can you stop pacing? You're making me dizzy." Nojiko scratches her stomach, yawning, heading to the kitchen for something to drink.
"Those speakers were a rental! How am I gonna come up with three hundred dollars to replace them?!" Koala exclaims, grabbing the drink from Nojiko and drinking it herself.
"First of all, that was mine," Nojiko points to the drink in Koala's hand, "secondly, just squeeze out three hundred from those turds that ruined the party. They're rich afterall."
"They're rich and insane! They have no compassion for anyone but themselves." Koala stresses.
"Well, send a death note and say "better have my money or else"."
Koala and Nami both turn and look at Nojiko. "What? It's not like we're going to sucker punch them in the face, although they do deserve it." Nojiko rolls her eyes and sits on the couch next to Nami.
"On top of that, Kidd is being held in a cell as we speak." Nami adds on.
"I mean…" Nojiko starts again.
"No, I can't let him go down for a party I hosted. It's like the captain going down with the ship." Koala stops pacing and looks at the two sisters.
"But you have a future Koala, who knows maybe he did do something to get arrested." Nojiko says.
"We gotta go to the station Koala." Nami says, looking at her friend.
Nojiko's phone buzzes and she looks at her notification. "Hey look, someone posted a video of Kidd getting arrested." She shows Nami and Koala the video.
In the video
"Eustass Kidd, you're under arrest for hosting a large party."
"That's a stupid ass reason to arrest me!" Kidd argues back.
"Hey Nezumi, looks like we got some cigarettes, weed buds and alcohol over here."
"Well, well, well, Eustass Kidd, you're under arrest for bringing illegal substance and possession of alcohol to a large party filled with minors."
End of video
"Illegal substance? No, that wasn't Kidd, I saw a few people smoking and drinking under the tree stargazing." Nami objects.
"Well, let's go, we gotta get him out of there, he could be expelled from school."
Koala and Nami both put on their shoes and coat. Nojiko doesn't move from the couch. Once they got ready they looked back at Nojiko.
"What? I'm not coming, I hate that guy."
"Pleaseeeeeee!" Nami and Nojiko beggs in unison.
Nojiko rolls her eyes, "Fine." and gets up from the couch.
At the station, Nami, Nojiko and Koala were all at the front desk begging to see Kidd.
"Sorry ladies, visiting hours for him is never and it's past your curfew. Now, you can either run along or I'll have some officers escort you home." The front desk officer rolls his eyes looking at the teenage girls.
"This is unfair, we have a right to see him, I have a confession." Koala places a hand on her chest.
"And what's your confession?" The uninterested officer asks Koala, hoping it'd enlighten him.
"I was in charge of that huge party, not Kidd."
Nojiko secretly starts recording the conversation with her phone in her pocket.
"Oh well, he's not in here for that. He's being arrested for the alcohol and illegal substance he brought to your party, are you aware of that?"
"He didn't bring that stuff, I was with him, I was with him while he was getting fruit punch. If he had brought alcohol don't you think he'd be drinking it instead of punch?" Nami questions.
"Then explain the flask we found in his jacket."
"Shit! I forgot about that." Nami thought to herself.
"Listen, if your here to bust out your boyfriend-"
"He is not my boyfriend!" Nami argues back.
Nami and the officer start arguing and Koala jumps in. The noise level from the front of the station caught the attention of the officers in the back. The man in yellow gets up from his desk and makes his way over.
"Oi, oi, oi, what's with the noise?" Kizaru approaches the front desk with hands in his pockets.
"Deputy Kizaru!" The front desk officer gets up and bows.
The three girls also bow.
"What's with all the commotion? You ladies should be home in bed."
"Sir, we're here to see Eustass Kidd. we know you have him back there. We can prove his innocence." Nami steps forward.
"Prove his innocence? What are you girls? His lawyers?" Kizaru laughs and the front desk officer laughs along nervously.
"I know Kidd didn't bring marijuana. I was with him tonight. He only had a flask on him, a personal flask. He didn't bring any of the liquor bottles, weed, nor weed bongs." Nami defends Kidd.
"How can you prove his innocence, young lady?"
"We can go back there and test for his fingerprints, you can go catch your real culprit then."
Kizaru raises his brow and looks at Nami's determined eyes. "Okay." he tells her.
The girls went to the back following Kizaru, Kizaru then ordered for the fingerprints on the collected items to be examined, seeing if it had a match to Eustass flask. The girls took a look around the station, Officers watching their every move. They spot Kidd and a few other men being held in a holding cell. Nami and Koala wave at him, but he looks away. Nojiko rolled her eyes at the red haired boy as he looked away.
Minutes past and the results came in.
"It's not a match sir." An officer tells Kizaru.
"Yes!" Nami and Koala give each other a double high-five.
"I see….Let him out." Kizaru orders.
A nearby officer lets Kidd out of the cell. As Kidd stepped out of the cell a red haired woman came through the front doors, she and Kidd shared a few resemblance.
"My baby!" she starts crying with her arms out.
"Ma'am, I need you to stay back." The front desk officer holds her back.
"Mom!" Kidd makes his way to the front.
"Let's make our way to the front shall we?" Kizaru suggests.
Once they got back to the front, Kidd was fined three hundred dollars for underage drinking and Koala got assigned community service for a month. Kidd and his mom left the station and Koala mother came to pick her up. While Nojiko and Nami rode home in the back of the police car.
Kizaru sat back at his desk clicking his tongue, a fellow officer politely asks him, "Why you let Kidd go so easily?"
"His purple haired friend was recording the entire thing. It was best to let him go for now."
Once the sisters got home, Nojiko went straight to bed being tired from being on her feet all day. Nami washed up and wrapped her hair in a towel, her phone buzzed on the nightstand. She unlocks and reads the message she received.
"Rebecca just texted me this bullshit about you and Kidd kissing at the party." She reads Luffy's message.
