Ironoak island: root village's tavern

Zoro and Nami sat back down after beating the crap out of Luffy. They both looked at the unbelievably high food bill which Luffy had produced. Zoro scoffed " you know Nami, I think they misunderstood you, they probably think you want to buy the place instead of the bill". Nami just grunted in reply and laid her head on the table, she sighed " how are we going to get this amount of money?".

Zoro closed his eyes and frowned as he thought. Until he snapped them open "we could go bounty hunting"

Ironoak island: root village's bounty board

The trio stood before the bounty board. Nami frowned as she thought about the provisions which were currently being held by the tavern owner to guarantee their return. Nami turned, facing Zoro.

"How does this bounty hunting work?" Zoro pointed at the bounty board " first you look for an interesting bounty, which is preferably close by, if not you go towards his/hers last sighting." he took a bounty of the board showing it Nami as an example " As you arrive you ask the townsmen and hunt him/her down" Zoro placed the bounty back " the only catch is getting them at the marines alive" Nami frowned "why?" "Otherwise you lose thirty percents of the bounty" Nami nodded in understanding and looked at the board.

There where all kinds of bounty's hanging on it from marines issued bounty's till local government issued bounty's. Zoro picked up another bounty , he however crumbled it and shook his head.

Nami looked at one poster in particular on the picture stood a large fishman with a saw like nose and an evil look in his eyes. Zoro shook her shoulder "Nami?"

She turned towards him and looked at the poster he was holding: it wasn't a marine issued poster but one issued of the islands authorities. " the reward is only 12.000beri, but I think it should be easy" Zoro turned to Luffy " what do you think".

"I fwink few fwou fwif if a fwy" (I think we should give it a try) Luffy's head was still swollen from his beating, so talking normally was out of the question.

Nami took the wanted poster " It says that we could get more information at the town hall" Zoro turned around and started walking "I guess that that's our first stop" "wait Zoro!"Nami yelled

He turned around "what's wrong?" "town hall's that way…"

Zoro sweatdropped "I knew that"

Ironoak island: root village town hall: mayor's office

A tall blond haired man stood before a large window overlooking the small town. He closed his eyes as the sun was warming his tired body . He opened his eyes and looked at the dense forest , he clenched his fists and mumbled "you damn monster"

Suddenly the door of his office opened , revealing his secretary . The young woman was wearing a dark blue shirt and white tank top and held a notebook in her one hand and was absentmindedly stroking a strand of raven black hair out of her face.

" excuse me for the intrusion mayor-sama, but there are some people here in regards of the bounty, sir" The man turned around and sat at his desk "show them in" the secretary nodded and left. Leaving the man alone yet again the man smirked and asked out loud

"let's see if they shall rid us of this bastard" and laughed

Ironoak island: root village town hall

" Mayor-sama will see you now"

Luffy's head snapped in the direction of the voice, seeing the secretary he bounced up and walked behind Nami Zoro trailing behind them.

They were walking through a large hallway as they arrived at a large wooden door. The secretary stopped and looked at the trio.

"Mayor-sama is waiting inside" she said and walked away. Luffy eagerly walked towards the door and opened it revealing a large office with a big window overlooking Root village, a large desk stood in the center of the room behind the desk sat a large blond haired man.

"Greetings" he welcomed them "my name is Flawks and I'm the mayor of root village, pleased to meet you" He smiled " please sit down" his hand gestured at the chairs in front of him.

Flawks placed his fingertips against each other " I take that you are here for the bounty" They nodded. Flawks stood up and faced the window

"I feel obliged to warn you, there have been many men who didn't return" he turned around "do you think you are up for such a task?" Zoro and Nami only nodded while Luffy had stars sparkling in his eyes and drool dripping out of his mouth "an adventure where many didn't return from…"

Nami uneasily shifted position on her chair "I'm sorry Flawks-sama but what are we up against?"

Falwks looked at Nami " a Werewolf"

Zoro and Nami both yelled "NANIIIII!" but Luffy just smiled said "soka, no problem I know all about werewolves" everyone stared at Luffy who grabbed a piece of paper and started scribbling while explaining " A werewolf is twelve meters long has 14 arms, razor sharp teeth of about half a meter long,…"

Flawks sweatdropped " they can't be serious " but Nami and Zoro both slammed their fists in their palms and nodded in understanding. Flawks facepalmed " they are certainly going to be killed"

Zoro turned towards the mayor "do you have any information about this werewolf?"

Flawks sighed " allow me to explain…"

Kaboos: wow that took long to write , but hey it was worth it. Well that was it for today

Till next time
