The walk home was a pain. I should have taken the bus but no, my stomach decided to be a bitch and demand meat! Curse my addiction.

Well at least now I had something in my system. I haven't eaten since this morning at breakfast, and even then I ate the entire table jii-chan served and I was still hungry.

*BUZZ*

Speak of the devil.

I flipped open my phone and stared at the screen. Makino had said that I needed to get more technolog...tech...advanced in life, so she got me a phone. At first i just stared at it like it was some kind of magical thing...which in fact was the truth. She faceplamed then went into detail about how to use it and everything, and even then I just kept staring and went with "Magical box".

Once remembered how open it, I went to messages and click on the new message received today.

Luffy I have to report to the station. I will be gone for a while so better be training or I WILL beat you!

please don't get into trouble and make some friend will ya, normal people have friends.

ja-ne

"...I'm not a normal person." Of course I wasn't. What kind of normal person can STRETCH any part of their bodies, and not get killed in the process. And I don't need friends. I have been without friends for my entire life, and I sure as hell didn't need them now.

I was walking in a straight path (or at least I thought I was) when I hit something hard and fell straight on my arse.

"Watch were you're going gaki!"

I looked up and notice some guy glaring at me. He was an old man, maybe in his 50's or 60's, who had the gray snakes taking over his hair. His wrinkles crunching up in his face like a crunched up piece of paper. He was wearing some type of old school shirt that had red stains on it and a pair of white shirt. He was tall, out classing me by like 4 feet.

"..sorry." I mumbled

"HUH?! Can't hear ya!"

"Sorry."

"...hmph" He turned, glared at me on last time , then walked down an alley way i just noticed in between two building.

I don't know what told me to follow, but i followed the man. I'm no stalker or anything but he seemed in a hurry and I never seen this alley way.

I pushed my hat down on my hat and slowly walked down the alley, being fully aware of the people and thugs ( at least that's what they looked like) staring and glaring at me. I have dealt with glares all my life, you get used to it after a while.

I kept walking until I saw where the old man had went in to. The place was wear down and old. Windows were pitch black so you couldn't see inside, with pieces of wood hanging from them. It looked like an abandoned warehouse who had seen better days. The door was a black steel door with bolts sticking out of it and had a small (what appeared to be) window at the top of the door. A sign hanged on top of the door glowing in dim lights, lighting up the alley.

"...Grand Line Fighting?"

Huh...should have written more. I have been getting ideas in my head and I wanted to make this an action/adventure type of story. Don't worry I will still add the romance but that will be like a side kind of thing, know what I mean. Well hoped you like it so far and I am sorry for the really, REALLY long wait. Till next update...
