Law's POV
We all sprinted across the yard and through the school doors. One bad thing about living on the top floor was that we have farther to go to get to class. Sabaody looked like some kind of space station built on top of a forest. From the outside it looked like a bunch of domes clustered together. But inside, it was a bunch of white walls with different levels and balconies and stuff. That's where all the classes took place. Doors were spaced all over that led into whatever classes you needed. Navy blue lockers lined the walls at intervals. But then you also had to realize that this place was built by Roger, and that guy was creative. Instead of tile or cement, the ground level had grass flooring. If you wanted to go bare foot, you had the grass and the leaves right there to make your feet feel relaxed. Plus, these massive trees grew in the center of the central building where the cafeteria was, with on or two popping up in the halls. That's why we all called the cafeteria the Grove. There were tables in the shade and under the roots. There were wooden counters built into the sides of the trees as well. Lunch was pretty awesome here.
We walked through the doors and arrived at the entrance hall. Almost immediately, we said good bye to Drake and Hawkins because they had history first period together and their class room was right at the front entrance. Kid, Luffy, and I all ran to the end which was the start of the cafeteria. Most schools had doors leading inside the lunchroom, but here it was just a straight shot from the front door and then the hall opened up. That's where we said bye to Kid. He had english so he wound up having to go left, while Luffy and I went right for math.
The two of us sprinted down the hall. Our teacher was this guy named Kuro, and he was a stickler for timing. Fortunately, when we turned the corner and flew through the door, we realized we were early. With a sigh of relief, we turned to see Luffy's friends walk up.
First there was Zoro. Outside of the four of us, Zoro was the rubber weirdos best friend. I always thought that the green hair thing was kind of weird, though. His outfit was a mirror image of Luffy's, but he had boots instead of sandals. He was the national kendo champion back where he came from, but he wasn't as good as his godfather, Mihawk, World's Greatest Swordsman plus #1 movie star. He also had this thing for three. He needed to have three swords, ALWAYS! Even if he wasn't aloud to have them on him when he went to class he had them in his room. They did let him carry his three bamboo blades, which were currently strapped to his waist. He was a decent guy, if a little lazy. I did have one problem with him though...
"Hey there Luffy," said the swordsman. "Hey Stalker."
I gave out a growl as Usopp and Nami snickered. Usopp's outfit was clean and unwrinkled, tucked into his brown pants. Between him and Hawkins, I was starting to feel dirty. Usopp was a liar, plain and simple, even if he was terrible about it, and his Pinocchio nose proved it. And his family wasn't wealthy either. He got in because is dad, Yasopp, used to be a sniper in the military, and the best one around to boot. He and this other guy were pinned down by the enemy and the other guy was wounded. If Yasopp had left the guy, he could've easily gotten away, but he refused to abandon him to die, so he held off the enemy. For hours he held them at bay, every shot was a kill. Eventually, reinforcements arrived and the pair was saved. Well, the other guy wound up become this billionaire, and as thanks for saving his live, he sent Usopp and his own daughter, Kaya, here. Granted, he was a cowered and liar, but he was good at video games, and he could be a one man basketball team. The guy never missed a shot.
Since it was just a shirt and tie, guys and girls had the same uniform. Nami's tie was adjusted perfectly and her shirt draped over her orange skirt will yellow rings running up and down the side. Her heeled sandals clicked on the floor, and her orange hair framed her head nicely, accenting her hazel eyes. Her mom had been a marine but got pregnant and was force to leave, but she had several friends who didn't and became important people in the world. They pulled strings and then Nami came here! Nami is, to put it simply, sadistic, and the means a lot, coming from me. I borrowed money for a pizza this one time three years ago, and I'm STILL trying to pay her back! Poor Zoro has been working for five years, and just cleared the half-way point. I have no idea what Luffy sees in her! The two of them have been in a not-so-relationship since the day they met! Luffy is scared of rejection, so he hasn't asked her out yet, and Nami just refuses to admit that she's in love with our resident idiot. Geez, Nami may be one of the smartest people in school and top of our geography class, but she could be so dumb sometimes, and Luffy is Luffy. Is further explanation necessary?
"I'm not a stalker!" I yelled at the swordsman.
He smirked. "Just keep telling yourself that."
I was about to retort when the door opened and the person that earned me my nickname walked through the door, silencing me. Boa Hancock, the most beautiful girl in school. Her long shirt passed over the ground and her shirt was unbuttoned at the top to be revealing. Every guy in school wanted to be her boyfriend, except for one, which was where problems arose.
"Luffy!" She yelled as she tackled him in a hug. Usopp had to hold Nami back from killing her. Ya, she was in love with the only guy who didn't love her back, at least not in that way. Because of that, she rejected every guy who asked her out.
Now for those of you who want to know about the little pet name my brothers and everyone has for me, then now it's story time. Let's start at the beginning. The five of us are the toughest students in school, and were that way since back when we were in elementary. Granted, we might get a beat down from some of the guys and gals at Raftel, but that's a whole different story. With a reputation like that, it makes people want to beat us up to make themselves look better. One such character was this jerk named Bellemy. He wanted to build up his rep by taking down Hawkins, but he knew he couldn't do it in a straight fight. Now, we're not sore losers. If one of us loses a fight, we get stronger and then go back. Even if it's against a bunch of people, we know that if we lose a fight it's because we were weak, so we don't retaliate unfairly.
If it's a fair fight. Bellemy ambushed Hawkins with all of his buddies to take him down. He had his fun, until the four of us broke down his door and beat the crap out of all of them that night.
With that in mind, I didn't want some jerk to think that Hancock had hurt their pride when she turned them down. And that's exactly what I told my brothers when Drake borrowed my computer without asking and found the live video feed from the SECURITY cameras I had set up in her room and along the paths she takes to get to each one of her classes. Dispute this perfectly reasonable factor, they all insist that I'm some kind of stalker. I mean, who does that?
Just then, the bell rang for the start of class and we all took our seats. As I got out my textbook, I also pulled out my copy of our collective dream journal. I'd have to write in Luffy's new dream later, but for now I flipped to an earlier entry. In it, it described as scene a lot like what Luffy had described, but in this I was taking Luffy and this big blue dude below decks in this submarine. I figured that the two had to be connected.
This was the first time that had happened. Some sixth sense told me that was important, and that something huge was coming.

3rd person P.O.V.
"Is it ready yet?" Asked the figure. He sat on a metal seat like a throne in a dark room. In from of him was a glass window, on the other side of which was a giant machine that looked like it was almost completed.
"Almost, Master," replied the other man. He stood like a giant behind the throne, his arms crossed in front of him.
"Good. Then begin Phase:2. Take the boy. Our little spitfire needs to relieve some stress." He chuckled like he had just said something funny. The giant nodded in response before turning and moving away.
"Soon," muttered the figure on the throne. "Soon, the world shall be mine. Let's see what you can do, little Pirate King."
