Chapter 3
Luffy just stroll down the hallways continually think about his missing first mate. Even though it was his birthday he just despise this day. He never thought he would hate any day, but his birthday of all days. He didn't quiet understand this feeling, but he did realize that he never want to be separated from first mate/best friend ever again. All of this thinking got him energize again. He had a new adventure to find his lost mate and find out the reason why he felt so incomplete without him. 'Hang on Zoro.' His famous grin grew across his face as he ran down the hallways.
Hours later Luffy started to get hungry so he made his way back two the main deck outside to see if Sanji cook him some food. When he got there he couldn't find anyone except Usopp who just sat against the main mast.
"What are you doing? Where is everyone? I'm hungry you think Sanji would cook for me?" The captain asks the sharpshooter who just stare at him. "Earth to Usopp!" He waved his hand in front of Usopp snapping him out of it.
"Where you been? Everyone has been looking for you?" He stood up and started to walk toward aquarium. "Are you coming?"
Luffy simply nodded and follow him not even remembering the question he asked Usopp. Once they got there Usopp waited for Luffy and made him open the door. Luffy took a step in the dark room and the lights flash on and everyone jumped out screaming surprise. Luffy had huge grin on his face as he saw his friends and the food that was on a table. "Thanks." He said as he rushed over to the food forgetting about everything else. They all simply laugh at their captain short mind when it came to food.
"Luffy it was hard to get you a present since we been out to sea for very long time and-" Nami started until Luffy interrupt.
"It's okay Nami as long I got you guys the present doesn't even matter. Besides look at this food and a party I'm pretty satisfied." He said then it hit him very hard Zoro wasn't here for this as well. "Hey where-"
"Luffy let me finish. Anyways we all got you something, but you have to find it." She smiled. "Here. This will help you." She said as handing him a piece a paper that said 'If you go to the kitchen you'll be to cold, but to the men's quarter you'll be warmer.'
"Think it as a adventure." Usopp added.
"You'll find more notes telling you more about the present is, Captain-san." Robin informs him.
"Why is it hiding anyways?" Luffy question.
"Well we didn't want you to see it and it really annoying to move so we're having you find it." Sanji replied to his young captain.
The young captain shrug his shoulder and looked at the paper then back at his nakamas. "Yosh, I'll start right away!" He rushed out the room to start the new adventure.
