Chapter 4! Before you start reading, I would like to apologize to Nami and Zoro fans for what happens to them in the story. I really intended to make a bunch of new characters, but I wanted do something different with the crew. I still hope you can enjoy my story. Once again, I apologize.

Disclimer: It was in the other chapters... so... you know what goes here...

Chapter 4

Luffy hadn't seen the other side outside of the school yet, so he was looking around with awe. He looked at every tree, and flower that came within a few feet of him. The other two guys were already annoyed by Luffy's curious nature. So they and Robin left to their lunch spot first while Terin stayed around with Luffy.

'It's almost like he's never seen the outside world before,' thought Terin. He was looking at a butterfly that landed on a nearby flower. He slowly stretched out his hand towards it, but it flew off the flower and onto his face instead. He turned to Terin with a warming smile to show her.

'Such a naïve mind he has. Completely oblivious to everything around him," she thought as she looked up at the trees. A slight breeze blew the leaves around Terin, also making her white hair fly around as if it had a mind of its own. Luffy blushed at the sight of her, and quickly turned away.

'I hope she didn't see me,' he thought. Seeing Sanji waving his arms at them caught his attention. He stood up, dusted his clothes, and tugged Terin along with him towards the lunch spot.

"What were you guys doing?" asked Robin when they reached the rest of them. Luffy immediately started drooling after seeing the amazing food Sanji prepared.

"He was having a good time looking at Nature's gifts," Terin answered after taking a seat next to Robin. Sanji and Usopp handed out the bentos as Luffy searched his bag for his. Everyone had begun eating by the time he found out it wasn't there.

"What the… I know I made one and put it in here," he whined. Terin observed his bag carefully and pulled out a very light box.

"Is this it?" she asked. He turned sorrowfully, but brightened up at the mere sight of it.

"Yes!" He grabbed the box and lifted the cover.

"A… ano… it's empty," remarked Usopp. Luffy was still with his "happy face" frozen on him. Terin waved her hand in front of him and he dropped his head.

"Damn it… I did it again. I ate it on my way here!" he whined. All of them looked at Luffy trying to determine whether he was a high school student, or a child with no self-restraint.

"Hey there!" said an annoying high-pitched voice. Everyone, but Terin and Luffy, turned to see the red haired girl from before. She was smiling with her arms crossed, one hand holding an orange, and standing in front of two guys.

"What is it that you want with us, Nami?" asked Terin without looking at her. Just then Sanji jumped up and grabbed her hands.

"Is it that you would like to accompany me, a lonely cook, for lunch? Oh how generous of you princess," swooned Sanji. Nami was blushing a bit before Terin threw her bag at his face.

"What do you mean by "lonely"…" she questioned. Nami came back to reality and looked straight at Luffy. She walked around the group and set herself right in front of him. He looked up to find two guys bending down and grabbing his arms.

"Hey, let go of me!" he yelled as he struggled to get free. But they had a tight grip on him. Nami made a gesture towards a field of grass and the two thugs tossed him right into the air towards it. He was able to land on his feet, but slipped due to the mud underneath him.

'Shit! I'm going to-' but it was too late. He fell on his face, and some students started laughing at him. He sat up in the mud, and stayed there. He started wiping his face free of the mud.

"Teaches you to be a disgrace to this school!" yelled Nami. Terin placed her bento down and stood up. She clenched her hands into fists and suddenly disappeared. She reappeared right in front of one of Nami's goons. He was knocked square in the face and flew several feet away. Nami didn't even have enough time to turn to see what happened. Terin disappeared again, and showed up next to the other goon, kicking him in his stomach also sending him flying a few feet.

"Ah… I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't really mean to, they made me do it!" cried Nami. Terin eyes were shadowed, but you could feel the disgust she felt from that answer. She raised her head enough to show one eye.

"Bullshit," she whispered in a dark tone. She disappeared again, grabbed Nami by her shirt, and threw her into the muddy area too. She landed roughly on the ground, and didn't try to get up. Sanji regained consciousness and looked around.

"Oi… don't you think you went a little too far?" he asked while rubbing his aching head. She scoffed and dusted off her hands and clothes.

"Say what you want. I went easy on these guys even though I've simply had it with her attitude towards anybody." She began walking towards Luffy and offered her hand to help. He gladly accepted it with a smile, and they returned to the lunch spot.

"Great job, Terin. But what about the evidence?" said Usopp after taking a bite from his bento.

"Don't worry. They won't remember a thing, and I don't think Nami will want to remember anything." Everyone else laughed at the ordeal as if they've been through it before. But it was interrupted by a loud rumble from Luffy's stomach.

"Gomen," he said, blushing. Terin handed her bento to him and pulled back her hair.

"Have mine. I'm not in a good mood anymore, so I think I'll head back to class first."

"When are you ever in a good mood?" remarked Sanji. She hit him in the head with her bag again, but he remained conscious this time.

"What the hell do you keep in there?" he exclaimed. She opened it to show several textbooks and two dictionaries. He looked up at her with a popping vein and clenched fist and the two began bickering.

'She had to protect me again. Why can't I just stand up for myself? I know I'm strong enough, but…'

"What's wrong, Luffy?" asked Robin, interrupting his thoughts. He shook his head and began eating away at the bento Terin gave him.

"Well, see you guys back at class," said Terin as she left a twitching Sanji on the ground. "Oh yeah. Usopp, take Luffy to that laundry room you found and clean him up." He nodded and she left.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Hmmm… she's turned a bit soft with this new child introduced to her," muttered a deep voice as the owner of it watched Terin enter the school. "Who is he? I must do something about it quickly. Time is running out and it will soon begin."

Oooo... a cliffy again. I orginally didn't have this idea, but why not introduce another person? XD Is he good? Is he bad? No one knows... Wait. I do. X) Review and you'll get to know what happenes next. Bwuahahaha...
