"YAY ! WE HERE !WE HERE !"
Luffy screamed his heart out and grinned happily showing his teeth. 'This is so exciting I'm going to meet Zoro and my first mate ! Wooohoo ! This is fun ! I could even live here if I wanted to !'

Luffy keep walking straight ahead ignored the rambling of his new friend about how dangerous Zoro is and some Marine Lieutenant name Mango or something. Heck he doesn't care as long as he can get but he did remember that Luffy did fought this Mango guy. He sigh.

On the other hand

"Luffy-san please pay attention a bit to the people here they all got scared when they heard zoro and Lieutenant Morgan name.." Coby said as he watch his surrounding with curiosity. He get it why they all tense up with the pirate hunter but Marine Lieutenant to? Now that's weird.

Maybe he should rethink about joining the marines, maybe he should just live like normal people and find some nice job or something or wait for another year when his mind ready.

"Naaah.. maybe they just like to jump around.."
Luffy said carelessly while crossing both of his arm to the back of his head and hum One Piece first season opening song.

It peek Coby curiosity the melody somehow fitting he doesn't know how to put it but he just think the song Luffy create or something cause he never of heard the melody before.

"This is where we part way now.. Ja ne and Good Luck !"
Luffy shout from afar and wave his hand.

Coby stare at the marine base front for a moment and how ambitious he is to think he could just barge in and.."Lu-Luffy-san i.. i think i'm not ready yet.." Coby stutter out while catching up with his hyper active friend really now this guy doesn't waste time.

"Lu-Luffy-san what are you doing?"
Coby ask him as he stretch his rubber arm to peek on the other side of the marine wall. Suddenly he felt as if his wrist was being grip by a strong hand.

"Found him !"
Luffy said as cheerfully as he can get and grinned widely that can even blind people. Without a second thought.

x X x

"Yo !"
Luffy greet him as if his not greeting a person who is now being tied on a T shape pillar.

"LU-LU-LUFFY-SAN !"
Coby screamed for his friend fate.
'Oh no ! Oh no ! Oh no ! Luffy throat will be slit ! No even worse he could've been slice in to two ! Or.. Or.. Luffy could be rape by him begging him for mercy and.. and.. ! NOOOOO ! w-w-wait why does i think Luffy in 'that' kinda way.. what is happening to me !"

While Coby at war with himself.

x X x

'He look scary.. But whatever I need him as my nakama and just because he look scary or could even slit my throat I will not change my mind' He gulp

"Yo !"

Zoro a.k.a the scary guy lift his head up to see who is stupid enough to say 'yo' at someone in a bad mood like him more likely he would just 'scared' the brat away.

"What do you want brat?"

"Be my nakama !"

"Huh? yours what now?"

"Be my pirate crew !"

"Heh, your weird kid doesn't you ever heard of me?"

"Yeah, I've heard of you, That's why I want you as my nakama !"

"and.. doesn't y'know I'm a pirate hunter?"

"So?"

The scary guy sweat drop.

"Pirate. Hunter. I hunt pirate, I hate pirate, why the hell I want to be one.."

"Hey, what so bad to be a pirate?"

"I don't want to be own by anyone and surely I don't want to do your evil deeds, I've my own goal to achieved"

x X x

Suddenly a girl pop out of nowhere and put a ladder(?) next to Coby who is now back to earth. Three of them just stare at the girl. Who is now walking towards Luffy and the scary guy.

'Oh nooooooooooo! Not another one !'
Coby thought screaming his inner-self head off. "Luffy-san please save the Little girl she'll be kill and you please don't go on your own as if this is your playground" Coby said or more likely desperately trying to get both of them away from the scary guy.

While Luffy just ignored yet again Coby feeble attempt. While the little girl stood in front of zoro and show him two nicely made rice-balls. Luffy grinned and look at Zoro as if mocking him and give him-if-he-treat-little-girl-with-his-brute-attitude-he-is-lower-than-a-pirate look

Somehow zoro didn't catch what that grinned meant but he did feel irritated by that look. Really this is the first time other than when he is little another person talk and interact with him oh so friendly even though this person knew that he is a criminal and being tied up.

Luffy stare at the girl hand who is now trembling and by the look at the kid hands with all those blisters the girl had tried her hardest to made this. Luffy poke the girl shoulder and she tilt her head to look at him.

"You need to feed him see his hands cant reach it"
Luffy said as he grinned at the girl and point the rice-balls and Zoro's hands being tied up. The girl lightened up and quickly trying to feed him. While Luffy is enjoying the look that Zoro just gave him if stare and glare could've killed he had been killed multiples time by this so called scary guy.

Before the girl could even feed the now-shy-scary-guy, a person with some classy looking clothed walks in or to put it simple in Luffy point of view he look like a walking mushroom especially with the hair-style of his. Anyway back to the story.

The weird mushroom guy called helmetpop or something. Seems like the two of them doesn't get along so well oh well what do you expect some tea party being held? Haha like that would ever happen.

...

CoughCough sorry.

...

The helmetpop mushroom guy shadow looming over the little girl and look at the rice-balls at her hands and gave a 'tch' look at it as if its the most disgusting thing in the world but nonetheless he take those rice-balls but the second it enter his mouth he quickly gave a poisoning person look (it somehow fit him) while spit out and throw another rice-ball on the girl hand at the dirt and step on it.

"It taste awful, blegh ! you put sugar in it ! you supposed to put salt !"
He said or more likely spit it out.

"I.. I thought it would taste better *sniffled* now he cant eat it anymore"
The girl said as she look at the rice-ball being step in and began to spill tears.

"Don't worry the ant will eat it up.. hehehe.."
The mushroom guy said mockingly.

While Luffy is just starring at scene that played in front of his face. Watching it here and on the screen somehow make a huge different atmosphere. He clench his fist but his face is expressionless as ever.

"Tha-That's so cruel ! That girl worked so hard to make them..!"
Coby is now know why he had this twisted feeling inside his stomach that theres something wrong with the marines here why didn't any of them stop him? Coby gritted his teeth and close his eyes tightly.

The helmetpop mushroom guy point his finger at some paper shove it in front of the girl and said.
"Read the rules ! Those who help a prisoner will be sentenced to death by Lieutenant Mor..."

Before he could even finish his line a punch came flying at his face and send him unconscious while the two marines soldier just stand there stunned. Luffy gave a huffed and point his finger at the helmetpop mushroom guy and said.

"You.. even more lowest than that scary-green-hair-guy-being-tied-on-a-T-shape-pillar at least he still have a pride to keep his word and at least he appreciate others effort !"
Luffy grab his strawhat and he grinned like his usual self would he look at Zoro who is now gaping.

"and i'll make sure to make you as my nakama !"
Luffy said confidently and point his finger at zoro. Zoro who is now feel as if he just lost to a brat is something he would never forget he grinned.

"Heh, let's see what you can do.."
Zoro close his eye and smile for the first time yup not a confident grinned or mocking or scary just smile.
"You.. even more lowest than that scary-green-hair-guy-being-tied-on-a-T-shape-pillar at least he still have a pride to keep his word and at least he appreciate others effort !"

Luffy grinned back at his pink hair friend who is now more widely gaping than zoro and quickly help the girl up and was now thinking deeply about what is currently going on at this place and surely he does not like it one bit.

Zoro just watch the interesting strawhat boy walk away.
'Heh, let's just see what can you do.. brat'
