A/N: Eiichiro Oda owns One Piece!

Anyways, can someone tell me if Luffy calls Cricket, Cricket-ossan?

Last time in Chapter 7...

It's been two days and Luffy and the two was ready to leave. "You're leaving already?" Chopper asks and Luffy can't help but smile, he remembered asking the same at Shanks.

"Yeah…" Luffy responds as Chopper hides his tears with the rim of his hat, then suddenly Luffy places his hands on Chopper's shoulders. "Hey, if you want, I'll come back someday, and when I come back… Do you want to be my doctor at my crew…?" Luffy asks while Chopper was shocked but then grinned.

"Mh!" Chopper agreed and hugged Luffy, who was laughing and grinning in happiness, to death. The three watched on the sidelines, can't help but feel the warmth. After the teary goodbyes, Luffy went to the ship. Waving to Doctrine and Chopper, before looking at Law and Corazon, smiling.

"Off to Water 7 next!" Luffy shouts as he grins at Corazon and Law.

Luffy's eyebrows have been twitching a lot, and it sure didn't go unnoticed by the two who's been worried at Luffy for his eyebrows twitching a lot lately. "You okay?" Law asks Luffy, who's pissed for someone talking with him right now.

"No, can I have some time to myself...?" Luffy asks politely with a tired smile, Law left him but still worried. Luffy can't believe it! How could he forget about Mock Town! 'Mock town is dangerous for the two, especially that they're devil fruit users… Wait! If I let them stay with Cricket-ossan and I'll be the only one to go to Mock Town to stock up! Yeah! That's better!" Luffy suddenly collapsed which made Law and Corazon panic and go to him "It's so hard to think… Food…" Corazon sighed as Law took Luffy and placed him on the chair, sighing. After that the two slept while Luffy was guarding the place, sipping coffee ( much to the protests of Corazon and Law ) every so often.

OPOPOPOPPOPOPOPOPOPO

Luffy was grinning "Land Ho!" Luffy yelled at the two who were still sleeping, which annoyed Law.

"Can't you… WAKE US UP NORMALLY?!" Law asks while Luffy laughs and was at the deck with Law often using his devil fruit to at least hit Luffy. Corazon went to the deck and looked at Luffy confused.

"Aren't we supposed to be at Mock Town…?" Corazon asks as Luffy only laughs while Law stopped, interested at the question.

"Shishishi, We're still part of Jaya, we're only at a place where there are rumors about a man who knows about Sky Island, Montblanc Cricket, we're not going to Sky Island, we're only going to dock here. It's dangerous for devil fruits users such as yourself to go to Mock Town, I'll go myself." Luffy says with a grin. Corazon wanted to protest but Luffy glared at him saying 'just-listen-to-me-I'm-stronger' look, Luffy wouldn't want anyone to get in danger especially if it's his friends. "Oh look! There's a castle!" Luffy points at the cardboard-made castle which made Corazon and Law facepalm.

"That's made of cardboard."Corazon says with a blank face.

"And it's only colored." Law says while making the same face Corazon was making right now.

"Shishishi, I know!" Luffy says with a gleeful tone. The two comically fell while Law stopped getting angry, it's bad for their health.

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

Before they docked, Luffy inflated his body to look like a man ( after time skip but he still is wearing the buttoned vest ) since Law and Corazon already knew this, they kept quiet.

Once they docked Luffy looked at the surroundings, Law and Corazon following him. Luffy felt a presence down at the water so he looked at the water 'Somehow this seems familiar' Luffy says in his thoughts while Law and Corazon were looking at Luffy strangely then Luffy let someone drag him to the water since Luffy remembered him 'Cricket-ossan! C-... Can't… Bre-breathe…!' Cricket somehow noticed it was a kid so he went up and dragged the kid down.

"Sorry, I didn't know it was a kid." Cricket says while Luffy coughed out some water "Luffy!" Law and Corazon said as Corazon attacked Cricket in rage as Cricket did the same.

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

After a while, Cricket's leg hurt, which made Luffy's eye widen. Luffy ran towards Cricket "Quick! Help him! He has a diver's disease!" Luffy yelled as Law looked at him, frowning.

"Why should we help him? He almost kill-" Luffy grew a throbbing vein which made Law and Corazon flinch.

"Please. Help him. Now." Luffy says at the two nods but Law sighed, Corazon took Cricket in the house placing him firmly in the bed as Law checked up on him.

"Yeah… It's a diver's disease, how did you know? And why do you care about him? It's not like he's related to you, is he?" Law asks as he takes care of Cricket, Luffy remembered the times where his Nakama died one by one in front of him, he certainly wouldn't want seeing one right now.

"As much as rude I am, I still respect the old people." Luffy says honestly, he looks at Cricket with worry.

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

The three was taking care of Cricket ( who introduced himself to the others ) when two look-alike-monkeys came in shouting

"BOOOOSSSSS! ARE YOU ALRIGHT!? " The two-monkey like people yelled then silence came to the room before the two shouted at the three ( excluding Cricket, who was napping for a minute )

"JUST WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE!?" the monkey with green hair yells while the red-haired one shouted next.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO OUR BO-" The red-haired one was cut off because Cricket threw a towel at them. Which successfully shut them off.

"Quiet, they're good people." Cricket says as the two looked at Cricket, obviously happy.

"BOSSS!" The three yelled again. As they were ready to leap and hug Cricket to death, which Law obviously disagreed and kicked the two in their stomach.

"He's sick, don't make him move too much." Law says as he was glaring at the two who were doing dogeza and saying 'Sorry' to Law which made Corazon and Cricket to sweatdrop while Luffy to laugh.

'Very similar when I first met the three!' Luffy says in his thought.

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

When the others were getting along quite well, Shoujou ( The green-haired one ) brought out a book. "Do you know what this is? This the story of 'King of Liars, Noland'" Shoujou says as Masira ( The red-haired one ) grins and nods in agreement.

"It's our favorite book!" Masira says while Cricket was quiet through the story which was explained by Shoujou and Masira as Luffy grinned at the end.

"I think it's real!" Luffy says while Corazon and Law look at Luffy as if he grew two heads, Shoujou and Masira were grinning along with Luffy while Cricket was interested.

"Why would you think it's real?" Cricket asks while Luffy looks up to the ceiling.

"What if the land went to the sky? Using knock-up stream which comes out here, why don't they discover if it's on the Sky Island or Skypiea?" Luffy explains while All of them was confused ( except Cricket )

"Skypiea?" They chorused while Luffy just laughed.

"It's a sky island, anyways. I have a request to make, Cricket-ossan!" Luffy says while he turns to Cricket, who was quite amused when he put aside an important information but decided to ignore it.

"What is it?" Cricket asks while Luffy grins and leans on the side.

"I want you to take care of Cora-san and Torao, I've heard it take 4 days to set up the log post-" Luffy was cut off by Corazon slamming his hands on the table.

"YOU HAVE A LOG POST!?" Corazon interrupted while he had a funny angry face.

"Yeah, it's in my room. That's why we were able to go to the islands safely." Luffy says while Corazon just gaped.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TOLD US SOONER!?" Corazon yells while Law just sighed and ate food, leaving all the bread for some reason.

"– So I want you to take care of them while I stock up items in Mock Town and gain pieces of information." Luffy explains like no one interrupted him as Cricket, Masira and Shoujou's eyebrow raised up.

"You're a little kid, and you also have a devil fruit which makes it dangerous. Why would you go on your own? Being a kid is enough proof that you can't fight." Cricket says while Corazon, who was now calm, looks at him as if he was stupid, Law does the same.

Law and Corazon raise their arms with their hands flat swishing them with a blank face "No, not at all." they chorused while Masira was becoming to be more interested.

"What do you mean?" Masira asks while Corazon and Law looked at them as if they were crazy.

"He's strong, stronger than any average strong fighter." Corazon says as he takes out a lighter and lights his cigarette.

"He was able to beat up Doflamingo, who was very strong in our place in one punch. And helped us escape in his reigning." Law says while he kept his blank face.

"He had two sea kings which he tamed in Calm Belt, and I think yesterday he said he released them after having the ship." Corazon says another one and glances at Luffy.

"He also said that he came from East Blue, traveled from North Blue then back here to Grand Line, saying it's his vacation." Law drops the bomb.

As Corazon and Law said this, each of it shocked Cricket and the two brothers, which in the end made them lose it and make their jaws drop "You're kidding, right?" Masira asks, hoping he was dreaming, which Law destroyed the hope.

"No, it's real. He saved us." Law says with a blank face. Masira and Shoujou fainted as Cricket fell and muttering about 'strong kids these days' or 'I'm going to have a headache' Luffy laughs and turns to Cricket.

"So...?" Luffy says, waiting for the answer. Cricket sighed and nodded.

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOP

After the night where Cricket and the two brothers discovered he can't sleep, they gave him coffee instead. After that, Luffy went off to Mock Town. When Luffy came in Mock Town, it's been nothing but troubles. Luffy was pissed off of how the people act and treated him like a kid, there was this one who went too far and Luffy gave him a piece of mind by punching him directly in the face, and it was in the middle of the road which proved he was strong. He came in the bar and the room went silent before everyone was laughing, Luffy does have a lot of endurance but he can't have that many.. 'If they say something bad about something, I'll act.' Luffy thought and stomped off to the counter, sitting on the stool.

"This isn't a kid's place, brat." The bar owner says while Luffy was sure he had a throbbing vein on his head, he took out few amounts of money which the owner quickly took and asks for what he wanted

"Coffee." Luffy casually says and the bar owner quickly gave the coffee to him, while he was silently sipping his coffee, Luffy took out a sack of money in front of the bar owner, who was gaping.

"Give me a big sake which is tall like this-" Luffy jumped which made the pirates laugh, and make Luffy irritated. "– and make the sake the greatest kind of sake you can make. All of it for this sack of money, just one." The bar owner sweatdropped.

"It'll take two days to complete that..." The bar owner says while Luffy nods and takes out another sack of money

"And this is for lots of meat, and the foods you have." The owner just nods and takes them. A pirate group stood up and banged their hands on the counter, which made Luffy more irritated plus his coffee spilled.

"You look like you've got a lot of money there, kid.-" The pirate captain took out a gun and pointed it on Luffy's head, whose eyes were covered by his hat, he was sure no one would want to see his face, right now. "– mind giving it to me?" The pirate threatened while he touched Luffy's straw hat.

HIS FREAKIN' STRAW HAT.

Luffy gripped the pirate's hand and broke it, punching the man's nose. All hell breaks loose, at the end Luffy won in a second and had no injuries, one was able to ask what his name was. " Wh-who… A-are… Y-y-ou…?" He asks weakly at Luffy who was incredibly pissed with his eyes glowing at the darkness of the room.

"Monkey D. Luffy." Luffy says before kicking the guy's face, Luffy turned to the bar owner who was scared of the now demon kid in front of him "Shorten it to a day. All of it. GOT IT?" Luffy ordered. It wasn't one his good days, after all.

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

After that day rumors spread about him being the 'Straw-hatted Demon, Luffy' and some who didn't believe it and tried angering Luffy when he was at Mock Town, Let's say… It didn't go well for them. After that Luffy was able to get the sake which was enormously huge if Luffy may say so himself but had no trouble bringing it. For 4 days the log post has been set while Luffy said goodbye to the three and said that they'd meet again, which confused the three.

"OFF TO WATER 7!" Luffy yells as the two grinned and set their course.

A/N: Okay okay, I know… Masira and Shoujou shouldn't have been there since Cricket stated he met Masira and Shoujou 5-6 years ago which that was when Luffy was 17, so it should be 11 to be able to see them… BUT ITS MY STORY! THEY SAID SO THEMSELVVESSS. If anyone doesn't know Dogeza its an Element of Japanese etiquette which involves kneeling directly on the ground and bowing to prostrate oneself while touching one's head to the floor. And if you're wondering about where the hell the sack of money came from, he took a bag before he left.
