NOTICE: Go back and read the previous chapters! I changed them quite a bit!
Rain put her hands over her ears. Luffy kept talking, about his crew, his ship, some gibberish about a walking skeleton, a cyborg, and mostly…
"I'm huuuuungy!" Luffy cried.
"I KNOW YOUR HUNGRY, JUST SHUT UP 'TILL WE GET TO THE KITCHEN!" Rain yelled angrily, bonking him on the head.
"Ow…" He whined. They kept walking, until they found themselves in the doors of the kitchen.
"The kitchen is open all the time, so there might be people in there. Which means-"
"MEEAAT!" Luffy cried, bursting into the kitchen. Rain sweat-dropped. Lucky for her, there were only three other people in there. Luffy ran straight towards the kitchen in the back. The three people looked at him.
"Luffy?" the three said in unison. Rain looked up.
"You KNOW him?" she said, surprised. The three people sitting there were weird looking, but not too weird. There was a tall man with an afro and round sunglasses, another with spikey blue hair and a speedo, and the last one looked completely normal, with tan skin and black curly hair covered with a bandana.
Luffy skidded to a stop. He spun around on his heels and reached out. Then, remembering he couldn't stretch, he ran back over, receiving a few strange looks from his friends.
"Usopp! Franky! Brook!" He stared. "What happened?" They shrugged in unison. Rain stared at Luffy, lowering her eyelids.
"So you WERE lying." She said.
"No!" Luffy said, frowning. Rain raised an eyebrow.
"You said Brook was a walking skeleton with an afro. I don't see a skeleton." She said. He pouted.
"But he's USUALLY a skeleton!" Luffy cried.
"It's true," said Usopp. Luffy looked at him.
"Usopp! Your nose!" He cried. Rain looked at him.
"Nothing looks wrong to me." She said. Usopp shrugged.
"The scientists I woke up next to said something about a failed experiment." He frowned. "So they can do cool things like bring people back to life, but all they can do to me is make my nose shorter." Franky finally spoke up.
"Hey Luffy! Who's the girl?" Luffy grinned.
"She's our crew's new artist!" Rain looked up.
"What the hell! You never mentioned that!" She argued. He laughed.
"I asked you in the hallway! You didn't respond, so I took it as a yes!" he said.
"Welcome to the crew." Usopp said. Rain opened her mouth to say something, but Usopp raised his hand.
"Once Luffy make's up his mind, there's no changing it. Might as well accept it. Rain looked at Luffy.
"You haven't even seen my artwork." She said. "Why would you want me as your artist?" Luffy grinned.
"I saw them in your room! You're really good! Hey, can you paint me?" Rain sighed.
"What happened to, 'I'm soooo hungry!'" she asked. His eyes widened.
"I forgot how hungry I was!" he turned around and started stuffing his face." Rain sat down.
"I can't believe this guys a pirate captain. He even claims he's made of rubber." The three of them stared.
"He IS," they said together. Rain looked up.
"You guys are in on it, too?" She said. Usopp shook his head.
"No he really is. He ate a devil fruit." Rain raised an eyebrow.
"Devil fruits don't exist." Usopp stared at her.
"Your on the GRAND LINE and still don't think devil fruits exist?!" he said.
"Never mind, I'll prove it. Oi! Luffy! Stretch over here!" he said. Luffy swallowed the food he was eating.
"I can't! My devil fruit stopped working ever since I got here!" Usopp gaped.
Sighing, she pulled a small notebook and a pencil out of her pouch. She flipped through it and stopped at the first blank page. She stared at Brook, trying to imagine what he would look like as a skeleton. When she had the picture in her mind, she started to draw. A few minutes later, Franky glanced at the notebook.
"Hey, that's super good!" He said. Usopp glanced over.
"Hey, he's right! That's really impressive! Don't forget the afro!" Rain stared up at him.
"Skeleton's don't have afros."
"I have strong roots." Brook said, followed by his signature laugh. Rain shrugged and drew on an afro.
"You'll make a good addition to the crew." Usopp said.
"I TOLD YOU I'M NOT JOINING!"
