Previously:

Sanji and Zoro were having an arguement again when a boy named Luffy fell from the sky.


"Who the hell are YOU?!" The prince and the guards all shouted simultaneously.

Luffy stared around at the people in the courtyard. "I already told you, I'm Monkey D. Luffy! Geez, are you guys deaf?"

An angry tick grew on all the people present, annoyed at the way this supposed "angel" spoke to them. Zoro squeezed his eyes tight, just knowing that this was just another one of his strange dreams. He would wake up and he'd be lying in his bunk, waiting for another day to begin.

Sanji squatted down and stared at the boy. He didn't look more than a year or two younger than him. "Why did you fall into the palace?"

"I was trying to fly."

"You were trying to…fly?" Sanji blinked and shared a look with the guards surrounding them. They burst out in laughter. "You were…trying to…fly?" The entire courtyard, save Zoro, who was trying to wake himself up, buckled over laughing.

"No one can fly!"

"Not unless if you're a bird…"

"Or a fairy…"

"Or an angel!"

The whole courtyard burst out laughing.

"And to think we thought this guy was an angel fallen from heaven!"

They laughed at their own stupidity.

Zoro's eyes opened wide when the ruckus around him didn't change. But, the weight on his stomach had lightened and he watched as the boy stood up and stared at the prince and the other guards indignantly. He wasn't gone. It wasn't a dream.

"Yeah, what's wrong about flying?" Luffy stared at them seriously.

The courtyard went silent.

Sanji took a step towards the boy who fell from the sky. "Are you crazy? Humans can't fly. It's impossible. It's stupid."

Luffy looked at them indignantly and punched the prince square in the cheek before Zoro could do anything.

"Oi! What do you think you're doing, boy?!" The guards rushed forward to restrain Luffy. Sanji stood up and spit out the blood flooding in from a cut inside his cheek. The blonde prince stared dangerously at Luffy.

"You want to fight, eh?" He stared into the eyes of the boy, watching for any sort of fear or hesitation. None. This boy had no fear or hesitation hidden in his eyes. Strong, bold, and confident. Sanji smirked and waved the guards away, getting ready to fight against the boy. This ought to be interesting...

"But, Sanji-ohjisama!"

The blonde readied his leg, waiting for the guards to move. Luffy growled and seemed to twist before throwing the guards off of him. There! Sanji charged forward and threw a kick at the boy's chest.

Ching!

Sanji glared at the person in front of him. "Oi, Zoro. Get out of my way." He pressed his foot harder onto the flat of the blade held against him. The blonde man could hear Luffy breathing angrily from behind Zoro. But it seemed like the boy wasn't moving from his spot in the snow.

Zoro stared hard at the prince, holding the edge of the sword close to Luffy's neck while keeping another sword against Sanji's kick. "I won't let you hurt him."

"What did you say...?!" The blonde-haired prince clenched his teeth.

"My duty is to capture any intruders and take them to the King for judgment. Although, if the intruder deems dangerous then I will kill them immediately."

Sanji rolled his eyes. "Isn't that bastard dangerous?!"

"He's not. He just flew in accidentally because he was trying to fly."

"Exactly!" Luffy cried from behind the green-haired guard. Sanji grunted and scowled at the swordsman before turning away.

"Whatever." The prince kicked at a pile of snow in the courtyard before peering over his shoulder. "But, if he tries anything, kill him."

Zoro nodded and turned his attention to the boy behind him. Luffy stared at him and grinned as if he hadn't just punched the prince. The green-haired man shook his head and sheathed his swords. "Just follow me."

"Will you tell me how to get back to the city?" He heard Luffy's voice chime.

"No, I'm taking you to the King."

"What?! How long will that take?"

Zoro stared behind him and grunted, "A while."

"But I have to get to the city now! Why do I have to see the King?" Luffy whined.

"Because you intruded, now come on." The green-haired guard stopped and gave the boy a push towards the doors ahead of them. "Oi, you guys take care of the front door." Zoro waved a hand at the remaining guards and gave Luffy another push towards the doors.

"Aww man…Nami and Chopper are going to kill me…"

"Achoo!"

"Doctor-san, did you catch a cold?" A gentle voice bounced along the walls of the warm room.

"Nope, I'm fine, Robin." A little reindeer rubbed his blue nose before smiling at the black haired woman sitting in a chair nearby, reading a book.

"Maybe someone's talking about you behind your back?"

"Really?" Chopper blinked and dropped a few leaves into his mortar before grinding it slowly into powder. "When people talk about you, you sneeze?"

Robin chuckled lightly and returned to her book. "Who knows?"

The door of the room slammed open and an orange-haired girl marched in.

"Luffy?!" She nearly screamed, studying the room carefully. She spotted the two in the room. "Did you see Luffy come in here?"

The reindeer blinked and shook his head, signaling a no. Robin set her book down.

"Is something wrong, Nurse-san?"

"I can't find Luffy! We were supposed to go together to the marketplace. There's not enough food left. He must've eaten it all again…" She mumbled to herself angrily. "Anyway," Nami started marching out, "If you see him, send him to me."

"That's odd…I remember hearing Luffy fiddling with something on the roof…" Chopper tapped his chin in thought. The orange-haired girl nodded and gave him a quick thanks before rushing out of the room and storming up the stairs.

"What do you suppose happened?" Robin stared at the door in confusion. Chopper shook his head, not really understanding why Luffy would be gone at this time. He stared at the clock.

"Isn't this always the time for them to go steal food with Ussop from the marketplace?"

Robin chuckled. "Yes, it is. Luffy wouldn't miss out on anything that has to do with food unless…" Her chuckles started to fade, "…unless…"

Chopper's eyes widened and he dropped his pestle into his mortar before running up the steps Nami had just gone up. Robin set down her book carefully and walked up the steps after the little reindeer.

"When I get my hands on that idiot…" Nami muttered, pushing open the door to the roof. "I'll—!" What she saw before her stopped her sentence.

"Nami! Is Luffy up there?!" Chopper jumped up beside her and stared at the large device set up on the roof. "No…he didn't…?"

Nami's eyes narrowed and stomped over to kick the device. "That idiot! He just had to use it, didn't he?!"

"AAAAH!!" The little reindeer ran around the roof in circles. "LUUUFFY!! Where did he fly off to this time?!"

"Ah." Robin peeped out of the doorway and stared at the large, wooden device standing in the center of the roof with white powder littering the floor. "Neighbor-san tried to fly again?"
