Continuing from the last chapter~

"Hey Ace~ Can we go buy meat now? I'm hungry!"

"You just ate breakfast, Luffy!"

"But it's not enough!"

"How are ten plates of meat not enough for you?"

"It's just not enough!"

"We're already late. We can't go to a nearby meat shop now."

"Fine! At least I have Sanji to cook for me!"

"Heh. Remember last time you ate all his food?"

"It's his fault for putting it there…"

"D-damn you, Portgas D. Ace, Monkey D. Luffy."

The two boys turned to the person who called them. The person seemed to have been burnt and also had injuries. He lay on the ground along with his other injured companions.

"O-one day we'll get you!" the person yelled before fainting.

Luffy tilted his head. "Did he say that before?"

Ace smirked. "I lost count. C'mon, we need to get to school."

Luffy grinned as he followed his brother to a familiar direction that Nami and Nojiko was walking before.

And so~

"So your names are Nami and Nojiko, correct?"

"Yes, ma'am."

The two girls stood in front of the school doors, waiting for the woman to speak.

The woman took out two black wooly hats and handed it to them. "You two are required to wear this. It helps prevent any unwanted attention."

Nami and Nojiko glanced at each other but took it from the woman's hands. They then put it on.

"It's too big for me…" Nami tried to push up the hat a bit but it kept sliding down.

"It's big for a purpose; now follow me." The woman turned and went inside the building. Nojiko sweat dropped as the two followed her.

Nami looked around, astonished. The hallway was full of treasures and statues made of gold. Nojiko's eyebrow twitched. She could've sworn Nami's eyes were sparkling.

"You two walk faster." The woman said with a stern look. Nami and Nojiko nodded furiously and walk a bit faster.

"Oh and our school don't split people up by their ages. So you might find some older people in your class."

The woman told them their class was on the fifth floor, classroom 3.

The cafeteria was on the fourth floor. There P.E. class would be on the school fields.

When they reached the fifth floor, the woman handed the two their schedules. "This is your daily schedule."

Nojiko read it and her eyes widened. 'What's Pirate Crew gathering?'

Nami raised an eyebrow. 'Only one navigation class? P.E. everyday…'

"Ahem." The woman coughed, getting the girls' attention. They were standing in front of the classroom with a 3 on it.

The woman then knocked on the door. There was a moment of silence when suddenly the door opened.

"Hey! If it isn't-"

"You do remember you have new students, right?"

The door opened wider, allowing Nami and Nojiko see the classroom a bit. They saw pirates talking happily away, some even fighting.

Nami frowned. Suddenly something blocked their view.

The two girls looked up to see a man with red hair. A big smile was on his face. Nami looked at him with a suspicious look but it wasn't really visible with the hat covering most of her forehead.

"Oh! What cute little ladies!"

"Mr. Shanks."

"Ah! I mean, welcome to our class!"

Nojiko sweat dropped as she smiled weakly.

"These two are Nami and Nojiko. I hope nothing happens to them on their first day." The woman emphasized 'happens' and Nojiko could feel a chill.

'A bad feeling…' Nojiko frowned.

"I won't let anything happen to them!" Shanks said.

"Hope so…" the woman muttered before turning back to the girls. She then walked past them and walked back to the stairs.

The two girls glanced at each other.

"Come in!" Shanks said with a big smile. Nojiko nodded and went in first. Nami's eyes widened slightly. Shanks turned to her with a questioning look.

'Wish I could've changed my mind sooner…' Nami went in behind her friend. Shanks closed the door and clapped his hands. "Hey everyone! We have new students!"

No one stopped what they were doing. They continued talking. Some were even fighting. Nojiko's eyebrow twitched.

Shanks sighed, rubbing the back of his head. "They won't listen to me at all…"

He then grinned. "You two can call me Shanks! No need for the Mr.!"

Nojiko nodded.

Shanks looked around the classroom with a troubled look. "I wonder if there's any seats for you two…oh! There are two over at the window."

The two followed his eyes and saw two empty seats by the window.

"Our bags…" Nojiko sweat dropped as she looked at their bags. Shanks smiled and held out a hand. "I can help you take care of it."

Suddenly Nami moved the hand away. She gave a smile to the surprised teacher. "It's okay; we can take care of it."

The two girls then walked over to the seats. Shanks stared at the two before smirking. 'This is interesting…their records didn't hold any information of them being pirates either.'

Nami and Nojiko got over to their seat and put the bags on the floor beside them and sat down.

The pirates were still continuing their own business, not even noticing them. Nami noticed some were sleeping. Some pirate boys were flirting with the girls (they wore pretty revealing clothes too).

Nojiko shivered. For some reason she didn't feel good. 'This feeling could either mean Nami's going to do something or…"

Suddenly the doors burst open, followed by a loud yell. "SANJI! MEAT!"

Shanks turned his head to the door with a big grin. "Hey Luffy! Ace!"

Nojiko's eyes widened. 'That name…could it be…!'

Some pirates got silent although others were laughing, yelling "Hey Luffy!" or "Your brother made you late again, Ace?"

Then a boy with a red vest and a straw hat came inside. A big grin was plastered on his face. Behind him was a taller boy with a well tone body and a cow-boy like hat.

Nojiko's face turned pale. Her eyes were widened in shock, her mouth forming an 'o'.

Nami noticed Nojiko's expression and raised an eyebrow at the tall boy.

"Hey Nojiko, you know him?"

Nojiko quickly looked away to her desk, a look of hatred on her face. Nami narrowed her eyes.

"Luffy! Cant you see I'm busy with some pretty ladies?" a blonde hair boy yelled with an irritated look but it quickly changed when he went back to talk to some girls.

Luffy pouted. Shanks laughed. Ace sighed but then smirked.

"Hey we got new students!" Shanks then said with a happy tone. Nojiko glared as she turned to the opposite direction.

"EH? Really?" Luffy quickly scanned around the room. Nami did not want to talk to a pirate. She quickly lowered her hat and quickly looked away, trying to hide herself.

Suddenly Luffy's stomach growled. A look of depression came over his face. "SANJI~~! Meat!"

He then dashed towards the blonde boy.

Ace followed behind and noticed two unfamiliar people by the window. His eyes widened slightly when he noticed one of them had a familiar hair color he had seen before.

'Must be someone else…' Ace turned away and went after his little brother.

Nojiko glanced and sighed in relief. "He didn't notice me…"

Nami looked at her with a confused look. "Who didn't notice you?"

"No one in particular." Nojiko said and Nami frowned.

"Oi Luffy! Don't go digging inside my bag!"

"I smell food!"

Bang!

"Sorry about my brother's behavior."

'Those two are not blood related…'

Luffy rubbed the back of his head that had a large bump on it. A pout was on his face with some tears. "Why'd you hit me?"

Ace got on his seat, leaning back against it while lowering his hat over his face. A sudden snore indicated he was asleep.

"Asleep already?" some pirates thought, sweat dropping.

"Hey, did you hear what Shanks just said? We have newcomers!" one pirate said.

"I just saw them! They're girls!"

"AH! Food!" Luffy took out a small box and opened it. "AH! Meat!"

Bang!

Sanji grabbed the box away from the boy.

"I remember last time you took my lunch! No meat from me for one month!"

"NO! I can't live without it!"

"…"

Shanks looked at the clock with a frown. 'There's still a lot of time…'

He then saw the two girls and smiled. 'Maybe I should get them to introduce themselves.'

Then he took out a megaphone out of nowhere and yelled into it. "Hey everyone! Time for some little introductions from newcomers!"

Nojiko's eyes widened in shock. "You have got to be kidding me…!"

Nami made an annoyed look.

Ace awoke from small nap. Luffy stopped trying to get the box from Sanji. Shanks turned to the girls and grinned. "Come on!"

Everyone turned to the girls and the last thing Nami and Nojiko thought was 'Oh great.'
