Chapter 2

As the little detective made his way up the stairs to the attic, Clouds of blue mist engulfed him. Then a strange voice whispered "Stay out of my little home…."

Luffy stood completely still. Then the voice spoke again. "Didn't you hear me?"

Luffy sighed "Nope" Then the ghost appeared right in front of the little Detective and it sighed "hmm… a dumb detective…. Your type killed my mother…"

Then Luffy screamed "I'm not dumb!" But the ghost only shook her head to this and said "If you were smart, you wouldn't be in this house…."

Luffy grew more irritated by this and yelled "I chased that stupid thief in here!"

"and because of this" She sighed "you're locked out of the real world"

Luffy grew pale as she whispered "you should have taken Sanji with you…" Then she started to giggle "You're too young for this, child…" And with that, the ghost was gone.

Then Luffy blinked and walked slowly down the stairs. Realizing what just happened, Luffy screamed "Baka Thief! Where are you!?"

"Right here! I've been waiting for you, you little brat…" Zoro said very annoyed

"It appears we're stuck here" Luffy growled

"No shit, Sherlock" Zoro growled

Then Luffy became very irritated and said "why do I have to be stuck with YOU of all people!? "

Zoro rolled his eyes and said "well, you were after me, weren't you?"

Then Luffy muttered "I promised Sanji I'd catch you today!"

"Too bad," Zoro sneered "when I get out of here, I'll sell this stuff and finally have enough for my father's…." then Zoro frowned

"Your father's what…?" Luffy blinked

Zoro shakes his head "Nothing, Luffy…"

"But still" Luffy sighed "stealing is wrong. I won't let you get away when we get out of here…." then Luffy growled "I'll knock you out if I have to…"

"Stealing is wrong!?" Zoro yelled "try being raised where stealing is the only way you'll survive!"

Then Luffy shouted "it's called getting a job!"

Zoro glared "you really don't understand, always getting the silver spoon… Bull shit! You wouldn't know life if it bit you in the arm you spoiled basterd!"

"You don't know anything about my life that lead up to this so, shut up!" Luffy muttered.

"As long as you shut up…" Zoro sneered.

"I'm not listening!" Luffy shouted.

Zoro just walked to a different room. Then as Luffy sat down, the ghost appeared right in front of him and sighed "you're still here?"

"Yeah" Luffy sighed "well, we're stuck here…"

"While you're still here, you should get along with Zoro, after all…" the ghost smiled "you don't want to die alone, do you…?"

"I hate him" Luffy growled

"You know, I could kill you right now…" The ghost smiled

"You'd kill me?" Luffy said half jokingly

And like that, a knife appeared I front of his neck. "I've done it before" the ghost sighed "don't judge me…"

"Look…" Luffy Panicked "you said some one killed your mother, right?

"Yes…" the ghost sighed "Sanji did…"

"He did!?" Luffy shuddered "but why!?"

"When you were too young to understand…" the ghost sighed sadly "I was 15, and Sanji was 14. My mother was rapped and lost all three of her jobs. She had to feed me and my baby brother, so she stole a rice ball. My mother was always a fast runner, but this was the first and the last time she ever stole. Sanji, your hero, chased my mother into our little tent and then, she was killed… right in front or me and my little brother's eyes."

"Over a rice ball…?" Luffy said.

"Yes. By Sanji… then he took the rice ball and said "Don't steal" I never followed that rule again…for my brother's sake. Eventually, when my little brother was 14, I killed myself in this house…"The ghost sighed

"… I've never killed anyone" Luffy shuttered "killing is totally different then enforcing justice…"

"Well, do you want to know who my baby brother is…?" the ghost said

Luffy nodded and slowly, the ghost took the knife away from Luffy's neck.

"I'll tell you" the ghost sighed "but you'll have to look in the other room"

"Ok" Luffy said

"Come with me, Luffy" the ghost said going to the other room.

Then she pointed "there he is"

"Z-Zoro…?"
