Previously: There was an awkward pause, lucky me, there was a crashing sound. And down came the roof it did.

I was expecting something, well more like an object. Not some big... moving thing... the smoke was blocking, so I just saw that. A big moving form.

~A LITTLE WHILE BACK~

As soon as the coast was clear we ran out of the room, those two were monsters, especially the one wearing a strawhat. We pretended that we got knocked out, and waited for them to leave. "We have to tell Alvida! They're probably after her head!" The two men agreed with each other. Spotting a ladder they both scrambled up towards the ship's deck, where they heard Alvida threatening to hit anyone who slacked off with her club. They were blinded by the sunlight as they squeezed into the small opening, but still shouted at their captain. "Alvida-sama! There's a problem!" She stopped jeering at her crew to pay attention, barking back for being interrupted, "What is it? You're so noisy." Her glare frighted the two, but they continued with stampers, "The barrel was... " Said one, "A monster!" The other said after. Her face became agitated with their reply that made no sense. She gritted her teeth, "Huh?" The two men whimpered. They knew that facial expression all to well.

"Who's a monster?" She asked, while delivering the two an iron clubbed early birthday gift. A blond ducked with another, while one just got up the ladder and pushed the others down, he was hit flat in the face and sent flying to the sea. One down, two to go. The club then fell on top of their heads. Alvida- one, Crew mates- zero. "That's not it... two weird people came out of barrel. One's a monster." Again, the blond, "He might be a bounty hunter." That got Alvida's attention. "What?"

~PRESENT TIME~

"Making a friend like this... Eh Coby!" Whoa! It can talk! The smoke started to settle, okay, I'm really never ever gonna be a potato coach now. Coby covered his face and looked like he peed his pants. "Insert panic sounds." A fa- ahem... very big...yes Very big woman was the one who was standing before Luffy. "Mhm?" Luffy was about to move from his spot but was stopped with swords popping out from the door. 'Poor door, Poor me, Poor brat.' I thought as I watched Coby shivering in fear of the towering fa- big woman. She hefted her big club to her shoulder, I really don't blame the brat. I would be scared too, but I've met way worse than her so I don't feel fear towards her. In fact I was gracefull, she ruined that annoying awkward moment but I couldn't let her hurt the kid. I took a step forward. "Oi, I would leave the brat alone. I don't really like watching two brats at it." I said calmly. She ignored me though, and looked up towards Luffy. Big surprise, Luffy stared back.

The woman that I dubbed "big brat" smirked when she saw Luffy closely. "What that hell? You a pedofile or something?" I just said that to gain her attention. Again, I was ignored. I fumed. "Heh. You're not the pirate hunter Zoro." She observed. "Zoro?" Asked Luffy. "Oh, I see how it is... You are looking for your boyfriend then." I said in fake understanding. To make it seem as if it were real I nodded to myself. I looked at the big brat sympathy. She glared at me. Yes! Finally! "Who are you?" She glowered. "Eureka D. Dias. At your service," I bowed politely, "To help find your boyfriend of course." I threw in for fun. big brat's eyebrow twitched. "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!" She screeched. I made a fake frown, "Dias? Are you deaf? I'm sorry if I didn't say it loud enough then." I mentally was laughing my ass off. Her expression was priceless.

"Coby! Who's the most beautiful woman in this sea?" She asked.

'Hmm, does she think that'll piss ME off? Maybe it's just to make her... less angry?' I thought.

Coby's legs were shaking. He held on one of his knees, and scratched his head with the other, "That is of course..." "Who's this fat lady?" Luffy pointed at Big brat. I burst out laughing, I knew that the brat would say something that would make Big Brat lose her control over her anger. While I was laughing everyone's jaws opened out wide. Big brat had anger twitching marks over her face. Her white hat covered her face. She had enough when she screamed, "BRAT!" I pouted, calling her fat made Luffy get on her bad side? That's NOT fair! Luffy was still pointing at her though.

She flung her iron club at Luffy, which he dodged using his devil fruit powers he jumped out of the way. Big brat's club hit the wooden floor, which was smashed open. Jumping in front of Coby and me he whispered, "Let's go!" Is that the first time I've heard him speak so quietly? No that can't be, must be Big brat smashing the wooden platform blocking out his loud voice. Yeah, that sounds better. I grabbed his hand with Coby though, and he jumped up towards a deck. She turned her head towards us, glaring. Mostly at Luffy though. Damn, my annoying skills are not good these days. "AHHH!" Coby screamed when we were up in the air.

We landed on the deck with no injury, "Hehe." Luffy smiled as he lifted his hat up. "Damn brat." I muttered, angry at him being the one that make her get pissed off. "Eh, You!" Sadly I was ignored, again. "Sigh, I guess this is what happens with him." Pirates attacked with their swords, oh wanna guess at who? If you said Luffy then I hate you, but yes... it was him. I decided that I might as well ignore that idiot's antics, since I was being ignored, so after he beat up a good 5 men I heard Luffy shout something like, "It's not fair to attack from behind" Sighing I gave in and watched.

Luffy punched a man trying to stab him and when the men was sent flying into a group in front of him, a group of men with swords were somehow behind him too. Luffy took notice though and ran, with the men on his heels. "AH~! IT'S NOT FAIR TO ATTACK WITH MORE PEOPLE!" He shouted. I face- palmed and threw my fist behind me to hit someone trying to sneak up on me in the face. It hit, and knocked the man off the ship. I congratulated myself, and glanced at Coby who was sitting and watching with fascination. I smirked sightly, brats these days. After Luffy threw himself at the group, Coby got up suddenly and went up to him, "Luffy-san, what are you?" Luffy smiled and stretched his cheek, "Me? I'm a rubber man." "Rubber man...that..." Coby trailed off. "No, no, no. Coby. Don't listen to him. He's a monster." I hoped Coby would listen to me.

"You ate the Devil's fruit right?" Alvida asked. Looks like I wasn't able to ignore somethings.

Luffy let go of his cheek, "Yeah, I ate the rubber fruit. But if you want something cool, then Dia has an awesome bird thingy."

She glanced at me, "It's a griffin..." I said, happy for the attention. She looked down at us. "Is that so. I've heard rumors about it, but I never thought it really existed. You also have some moves... are you a bounty hunter?" "No, we're Pirates."

"He means only and only him, so don't look at me." Damn, don't go around saying I'm some pirate when I'm not, brat. "Pirate?" She looked at him suspiciously. "Well, I think ten people in total sounds right... so nine more." My eyebrow twitched. When this was over I'm strangling him. "Haha." She laughed, "I see, so you are pirates. That makes us enemies, doesn't it?" Coby trembled behind Luffy while I stood near the railing. I heard Coby tell something to Luffy, it seemed that what he said fell on deaf ears but Luffy talked back. "Number one what?" Big Brat asked Coby. "Num... num... num..." Coby fisted his hands and looked up at Alvida and yelled, "Number one stinking ugly old hag!" Luffy laughed, while I bit my lips, my laughs threatening to let loose.

"TCH~!" Alvida was once more covered in angry marks. "What did you say?"

"I will join the Marines! Join and fight pirates like you!" Coby finally got balls.

"Do you even know what you're saying?" Big brat demanded.

"I know! I'll...I'll do what I want! Join the Marines and...Join the Marines and... capture you!" He shouted back to her. Luffy, god, he's still laughing.

"Little Brat!" She lifted her club to smash Coby, I got ready to get to him, but I was beaten to it. Coby screamed, "Well said!" Luffy said, now in front of him. "Argh!" Alvida smashed her club into Luffy's head. I got stepped to the side, knowing what was to happen. Luffy smiled under his strawhat, "Doesn't hurt." Such a cocky Brat. Her surprised face made me smile, "What?"

Luffy punched her Club upwards and stretched his other arm so far away, 'Ouch, that's gonna hurt.' "GOMU GOMU NO... PISTOL!" he brought it forth and delivered a nasty punch to the fa- big woman. She screamed while she was sent falling elsewhere. Towards the sea. I'm glad I moved out of the way, Luffy would've sent her hurtling towards where I was just a few seconds ago.

~IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN~

"Ugh." A man, that was sent flying by Alvida a few minutes ago, woke up. He opened his eyes, "The sky is so blue," he said dreamy. "Huh?" Soon he knew only that something fa- big was falling towards him. That was all him remembered before he was sent under water, again.

~BACK TO THE SHIP~

Explosions were soon heard. "It's the Marines! Let's get out of here!" I shouted to Luffy once I saw the ship that was sending cannon balls at us. Luufy and Coby leaned on the railing, "Isn't that great? Why don't you go?" Luffy asked Coby. "We're pirates, We need to run!" Luffy glanced at me. Well, I wasn't going to stay here. I nodded and we jumped over the railing. "How can I... They'd arrest me before I could do that!" I saw Luffy grab Coby and cut the ropes to drop a ship into the water. I gripped the edge of the boat while I was falling. The boat landed roughly in the ocean.

"We got away somehow." Coby said to us. "That was fun! Hahahaha." Guess who. "Annoying but funny." I added in. "Um, Luffy-san. If One piece is your goal , that means you are heading toward the grand line, right?" Luffy nodded. "It's also called the graveyard of pirates." "Yeah, but I'm not a pirate now am I?" I swear I'm going to need an Emo corner soon, I was ignored once again. "Yeah, that's why I need nine more people, 10 in total." "OI! I'm NOT A PIRATE! I decline!" I shouted in Luffy's ear. "I decline."

"Huh?"

"I decline your decline." He said.

I turned red. "Idiot! That's not good enough!"

He smiled. "You're my Nakama! I trust you."

I frowned, "Fine, just for now. Once you get a better reason I'll be your Nakama whatever." I gave in. "Shisisi." He laughed turning back to Coby he asked, "That pirate hunter... What kind of guy is he?" "You mean Zoro/Big Brat's boyfriend? I heard he was captured by the Marines."

"What? He's weak then." Luffy said, ignorantly.

"Not at all! He's a terrifying beast!" "In appearance, or in attitude? I mean, there's got to be a reason why he's the boyfriend of that thing..." I asked. "Both!" I nodded. 'Aha! Now I understand why they were together!' I thought triumphantly. "Why are you asking me this?" He asked curious. "Oi, don't tell me that you want him on "our" crew." I asked horrified. Luffy smiled, "Maybe. If he was a good guy." I sighed in relief. "You're gonna do something reckless again, aren't you." I choked on air. Luffy Laughed. "He might be a god guy!" I looked at him in pure horror. "No, no!" I cried out.
