Everyone sighed in relief and started to look at Luffy in a different way again. Sarah, shy as she was, said thank you.
Luffy's smile was back and said, "ShiShiShi. It's fine. It was my fault."
Zoro and Sanji looked at him and gave a short laugh.
"Hey! What are your names?" Luffy turned and looked at them.
"Zoro" "Sanji"
"Let's be friends!"
"Huh?" they said in the suddenness.
"ShiShiShi"
However, they couldn't help but laugh with him.
Nami ran into the classroom and said, "I heard there's another Devil student. God, how bad is he?"
"Hello!" Luffy replied.
Startled, Nami said, "Um… Hi."
"I'm the new student!"
"Oh…. Sorry. Most of the devil students just skip class right away after break. I didn't think you would be here…." Nami awkwardly laughed.
"It's fine." He said with a smile.
Nami looked shocked at his personality and looked at Zoro and Sanji in disbelief.
"No. Seriously. This is the new Devil student," Zoro said
"But… but… he's so cute and nice."
"Thank you." Luffy looked at her with big black eyes.
Randomly, Sanji asked dramatically, "Nami-swan, did you miss me?"
"No." Nami said with no interest.
Then she turned her face toward Luffy and said, "Wanna hang out with us for lunch?"
"Sure!"
"Oi, don't be so friendly to Nami-san."
"But I like her!" Luffy said innocently.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, HUH? LIKE, LIKE HER LIKE HER OR LIKE HER?"
"What's the difference?"
"YOU-"
"Ignore him. Come on, let's go to the rooftop."
Nami went ahead, saying she's bringing other friends and Sanji followed her. Just left with Zoro, Luffy looked at the taller male with extreme curiosity. Feeling self-conscious, Zoro looked down and saw glittering pair of eyes.
"Yes?"
"Nothing," Luffy smiled.
Luffy liked Zoro for some reason and vice versa. Not realizing what he was doing, Zoro gently pat his head as Luffy closed his eyes.
"ShiShiShi. That felt good. Again!"
Zoro chuckled at his cuteness and pat him again.
"Come on. We are going to be late. Do you have to buy?"
"Nope," Luffy held up a gigantic lunch box.
Zoro was shocked and said, "Are you sharing that?!"
"No," Luffy looked at him, confused.
He laughed again and Luffy decided he likes it when Zoro laughs.
When they reached the roof, Luffy saw the great blue sky. He placed his bento on the floor and ran up to the railing. He stood on top of it and raised his arms. His arms were opened and Luffy looked like he was feeling the breeze pass through him. He looked like he had everything in the world, especially freedom. Zoro was mesmerized as the sunlight shined around him, glorifying Luffy. He turned and looked at Zoro, smiling brilliantly. He warmly smiled back.
"Oi, What are you doing, Luffy?" Sanji shouted as he entered the rooftop.
"Luffy, you are going to get hurt!" Nami yelled.
"ShiShiShi. No I won't. I promise."
"He won't," Zoro said.
He just knew Luffy won't. Just a feeling.
"Oi, is it a good idea to bring him into our group? He's a devil student! He's dangerous," Usopp whispered in high pitch voice that he uses when he's scared.
He was hiding behind Nami, afraid of Luffy.
"Oi, whose bento is that? It's huge." Sanji commented, not caring what Usopp said.
Usopp hissed, "Oi, someone listen to me!"
No one feared Luffy and ignored Usopp's whines.
"Yo!" Luffy said to Usopp as he fell in surprise and fear.
"ShiShiShiShi. You're funny. I like you. Let's be friends."
"HUH?!"
"Oi, Luffy, is this abnormal size of bento yours?"
"Yep!"
Luffy stretched his arms and grabbed it from Sanji.
Everyone just blankly stared at Luffy and then yelled, "WHHHHHHAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTT?!"
