Chapter Three: Trouble Makers
The crew began to sail towards their new destination. In the meantime they all did their normal business. Zoro laid in a corner napping, Robin sat in the shade reading, Chopper was was in his small lab, Usopp was goofing off with Luffy, Sanji was cooking Luffy's meal, Nami was in the look out, and Rose was looking towards the Ocean. -It's beautiful, Why didn't you tell me it was so beautiful Father? You sailed every day out here...-Her thoughts were interrupted when Robin walked towards her."Enjoying yourself, Miss Rose?"Robin asked standing next to her, facing the same direction.
"Oh, yes..it is beautiful to be out here."She answered with her warm smile."It is, I've been out here most of my life."Robin said now facing Rose."Say Robin.."Rose began in a curious expression,"How did you join ghis crew?"Robin looked at her smiling."It is Luffy's fault."She answered. Before Rose could ask why, she continued to speak."I used to be a bad person, But I had..well have a dream, to find the True History somewhere it is hidden..well anyways, Just when my last hope crumbled, It seemed to me that it was useless..so I wanted nothing more than death, but Luffy unfortunately saved me. Since I had nothing left I joined Luffy who accepted me."Rose stood thinking over Robin's words,"Dreams..are nothing, but a way of shattering reality.."She said under her breath. Robin barely heard,"I beg your pardon?"She asked."Nothing, I also have a dream, everyone has dreams hoping one day they will come true no matter how ridiculous some may be."Rose says facing the Ocean. Robin looks at her strangely,excuses herself and walks away. Thinking of the words she said.-Yes, But my dream will become reality..-Rose says in her mind with a sly smile.
"Oy, Luffy! I'm almost done, calm down!"Sanji yelled annoyed as Luffy was waiting impatiently. Sanji flipped some vegetables carefully in a pan."Gimme my food!"Luffy yelled collapsing on the ground."Geez."Sanji mumbled as he sat down his meal(10 plates full of different dishes, mostly meat)Luffy began to shove the food in his mouth."The Town's not far now."Nami says with a smile, but turns into a frown as Luffy smiles widely, with his cheeks stuffed with food."You better not stir us some trouble, Luffy!"She says angirly, but The captain simply smiled innocently. Zoro was awake and heard, he slowly let a small grin form in his face. Rose watched and smiled,-This crew really is something-She heard a small voice panicking and followed it."No, no, no! This is not right, it should have worked!"She walked inside Chopper's small room."I did it perfectly right, I did it right!"He said with his hands on his head."Is there something the matter, Doctor?"She said in a calm voice. He jumped startled,not noticing her presence." ..."He said in a shakey voice and hid behind the table. He was still shy around her, she smiled and laid on her knees reaching towards him."Please, I won't hurt a cute furry animal like you."She said reaching out her hand,"Hahahaha, stop it, your words don't flatter me!"He said laughing while holding her hand, She grabbed him and pulled him out carefully."Did something happen?"she asked getting back up."Well, I just messed up, but I'll fix it!"He said in a positive attitude. Before Rose could utter a word Nami yelled out,"There's the Island!"Rose and Chopper ran out where the others were at."YEEAHH! FINALLY!"Luffy yelled out in joy. After a few minutes they anchored and got off the Going Merry."Well, We'll met back here, get what you need before it gets late."Nami said facing Zoro and Luffy."You better not goof off!"She warned them. They nodded and dashed off. Nami let out a sign."Well, I will look around."Rose said facing Nami, who nodded." I will come with and protect you, Rose-San! "Sanji said twirling around."Thank you, sir Cook."She grabbed his arm and they walked into the town."Nami can you come with me?"Chopper asked shyly."Okay, let's go."Nami replied."I'll guard the ship."Usopp told them before they left."Alright, protect Merry."With that said Chopper and Nami continued to walk."Hmm?"Usopp looked around,"When did Robin leave?"He asked rubbing the back of his neck. Zoro and Luffy were walking around together looking at the different stands."I'm gonna go see the swords."Zoro says as he walks inside the shop. Luffy looked around, first thing he sees is of course a restaurant. "FOOODDDD!"He dashes forward towards the restaurant and barges through the door. He sits in the seat at the front waiting to order. The man walks towards Luffy with a friendly smile,"What can I get ya, lad?"He asked cleaning a plate and placing it down."Meat! Lots of it!"Luffy answers happily."Ah, Alright, wait a moment,Uhh, what's ya name?"He asked places a huge smile on his face,"Monkey D. Luffy!"He answers. After a few minutes food came and was placed infront of Luffy. He began gobbling everything down, Some customers stared disgusted, but soon their expression changed when 'White Hunter' Smoker walked in, they looked shocked, but soon went back into their conversation not getting in the White-haired man's business. He walked in smoking two cigars and looking around suspiciously. Luffy caught his attention, he knew Luffy was a wanted pirate. He walked towards him and sat next to him pretending he didn't know of his existence. Luffy of course didn't pay no attention, he was too busy stuffing food in his mouth."Straw hat Luffy."Luffy stopped, and looked towards the direction the voice called, but before he could react, he was welcomed with a fist right on his face making him fall on the floor. He looked at Smoker whose arm was smoke, filling the air.-Oh crap!-He thought, but let a smile form on his face.
Zoro walked in staring around, different weapons put up, but what grabbed his attention was a sword in a wooden case. He walked up to it and picked it out, examining its form and sharpness."Ah yes, that's a nice pick!"The Old man walked up next to him, he was the owner. Zoro stared at it for a little bit longer and placed it back down,"Not what I'm looking for." Zoro said looking around again. Unaware that Tashigi, Smoker's partner walked in, it took Zoro a few minutes before he noticed her presence, he let out a quit growl.-This Woman..!- He yelled in his head. He was trying to find a way to get out, he just wanted to get away from the woman. He slowly stepped(Tip Toed)Towards the door, when he heard the female's voice,"Roronoa Zoro!"He closed his eyes.-Dammit..-
Luffy got up holding one hand on top of his straw hat."Hey! I was eating!"Luffy yelled angirly. Smoker stared at him, not showing much emotion."You can continue your whining while I have arrested you"He growled. Luffy smiled,"Why are you so mad 'Smokey'? Luffy couldn't help giving the man a nickname, which of course was a mistake on Luffy's part."White Blow!"Smoker yells before his arm turns to smoke except his fist and launches it towards Luffy. Luffy jumps up the fist missing him, but it turns and heads for Luffy again,Before Luffy could react the fist was inches from his face. Luffy starts running around the restaurant the Fist trailing behind him. He barges out the door, running away from the Marine laughing uncontrollably. Smoker's fist connects back onto his body."I will catch you Straw Hat Pirate.."He mumbles under his breath walking out the restaurant,the people's face full of shock.
Zoro faces the woman whose face brings back memories of his past."Finally I have found you Roronoa Zoro, and here I will arrest you."Tashigi says while pulling out her sword. Zoro signs, he has no intention of fighting the Woman, but of course Zoro isn't a man to back down a fight,but fighting a woman? How will this turn out. Zoro sheaths out one of his katanas, he didn't see the fight seriously, so he left his other katanas in his green haramaki. Tashigi stared at his opponent, soon their katanas clashed, But Zoro's impact was way stronger sending Tashigi back,She fought to control her balance. Zoro smirked making her grow angrier."I'm no laughing matter Roronoa!"She charges at him, their swords clash together again, but Zoro was just too strong. She was against the wall, Zoro had her cornered. She waited for him to kill her, but instead he put his Katana away and started walking the opposite direction, leaving her in shock."Why don't you kill me?!"She yelled making Zoro stop walking."Is it because I'm a woman!? Is that why you don't take me seriously!?"Zoro gritted his teeth." You don't know what it's like wishing to be a man!"She screamed furiously. Zoro twitched and turned towards her."You're face, I can't stand it!"He yelled. She stared her face shocked and confused."You resemble my dead friend and now you're even saying to exact same things she said! You Copy Cat!"He yelled pointing towards her."I am not copying no one, I take responsibility of my own actions, isn't she the one who copied me?!"She argued back. Zoro couldn't stand her, so he simply growled and walked away.-I will become stronger Roronoa Zoro, and I WILL arrest you.-She glared at him before he disappeared from her view.
Tashigi was defeated by Zoro and Luffy is running loose around the Town, They will need to leave before things get HEATED.
