Chapter 7: Confrontation

Next day…

Trace's plan of Jealousy was working perfectly. Why you ask? Because Minnie was slowly liking him more and more. Which was upsetting Luffy a lot. And Luffy still didn't even understand why!

Zolo was looking around for Luffy. He wanted to explain to him about his feelings for Minnie. 'Luffy shouldn't be able to be to hard to find,' Zolo thought, 'The way he acts. It should be easy!'

As he walked he went passed Sanji and Nami. Who were growing closer by the minute. Which was odd to Zolo because usually Nami never liked Sanji like that.

"I think this ship was bitten by the love bug or something…" Zolo mumbled to himself. He then thought of something. That would make his search easier. Ask them if they saw Luffy!

"Hey, have you guys seen our crazy friend Luffy around?" Zolo asked the two as he stopped and looked over at them.

"The last place I saw him was in his room," Sanji responded.

"Why do you want him?" Nami asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I just have to tell him to stop messing around and trying to eat my dun-bells," Zolo said in annoyance to Nami wanting to know why he wants to talk to Luffy like a mother would.

"Okay, just wondering," Nami, said back.

Zolo continued his search for Luffy again. He went off towards their room in a hurry. Hopefully, he can at least help Luffy out with his feelings. As Zolo approached the room he could hear noises coming out of it. So he decided to spy for a bit to see what was going on before talking to Luffy. Zolo quietly opened their room door so Luffy wouldn't see him. Luffy was stomping around and talking to himself.

"AGHHH! I hate it when my brother makes me mad! And I don't know why! I also don't know why every time I get close to Minnie I get a weird feeling in my stomach and it's hard for me to talk! Why! Why! Why!" Luffy complained as he sat down on his bed.

Zolo then decided to go into the room and talk to him about it.

"Hey Luffy," Zolo said calmly as he sat down next to the young 17-year-old captain. "I heard what you were saying. Want me to help you out?"

"Okay! But how are you going to help me out Zolo?" Luffy asked him as he tilted his head in a cute childish way.

"Let me try to answer your earlier questions by asking you some. To try to understand the situation better," Zolo, said to Luffy.

"Okay!" Luffy said back as he turned to face Zolo completely.

"Well, first how do you feel towards Minnie?" Zolo asked.

"I feel…weird. Like my heart races and my stomach and head feel light. But I kind of like the feeling,"

"Okay, now tell me, how do you feel when Trace gets close to Minnie?"

"I…I…"

"Come on say it Luffy,"

"I can't stand it! I feel like shoving my fist in his mouth to shut him up!" Luffy yelled as he clenched his fists.

"Okay! Luffy calm down!" Zolo said as he tried to calm the raven hair boy down.

"Sorry Zolo. I don't know what came over me,"

"I think I know why you are feeling the way you do,"

"You do! What then?"

"You like Minnie,"

"But I like everyone in my crew?" Luffy said as he scratched his head in confusion. "What does me having to liking Minnie and everyone else in my crew have anything to do with this?"

"Luffy, you kind of like Minnie more than everybody else here,"

"Um…Zolo. I like everyone the same,"

"No Luffy. You kind of like her more than a friend," Zolo said back as he was becoming impatient.

"Of course I do!"

Zolo sighed in relief thinking he finally understood what he was saying.

"She is apart of our family Zolo!" Luffy finished off happily.

Zolo smacked his forehead.

"Luffy! You want Minnie to be your girlfriend!"

"What's that? I have heard of it from the other boys in my village. But I never really got to understand what that was," Luffy said as if he was a little kid.

"Oh boy…" Zolo mumbled to himself as he placed his hand on his forehead. "You can't be serious Luffy,"

"I am serious Zolo,"

Zolo sighed and tried to think of a way to explain what a girlfriend is to Luffy.

"Well…a girlfriend is a girl who is really close to you and you try to make them happy,"

Luffy listened. But was still confused.

"Um…I know! You know when Sanji tries hitting on Nami or another girl he thinks is pretty,"

"Yeah,"

"Well…he is trying to make her his girlfriend,"

"Oh okay,"

"You know the sweet things he says to the girls and the way he tries to act cool to get a girl?"

"Yeah,"

"He is trying to impress them,"

"Oh…"

"You still don't understand do you?"

"Nope! Not a clue!"

Zolo sighed.

"Have you ever seen one of the boys in your village with a girl?"

"Yes,"

"Okay! What did they do?"

"I saw one of them at night walking around the village with a girl. They were holding hands and they were really close,"

"Okay! Tell me more,"

"Then they both stopped and looked into each other's eyes and their faces got closer until their lips met,"

"Okay! What you saw that night was what a boyfriend and girlfriend is!"

"That's what it is? I just that a girl friend was a girl that was your friend and a boyfriend is a boy that is your friend," Luffy said with a smile.

"Well…you want Minnie to be like that with you Luffy,"

"Oh okay! But how do I become like that with Minnie? Do I go up to her and kiss her on the lips like my friend did that night?" Luffy asked Zolo like a little child would.

"No! Don't do that! This is what you are going to do to try to get Minnie to like you…" Zolo said secretly. He then pulled Luffy closer so then nobody but them could hear the plan. And he began to whisper to Luffy what to do.

I hope you all enjoyed that! Please help me out and Review me your ideas and comments!
