Exploring the world they've come to

Introductions were further offered all around and the host club explained their school and club to the Straw Hats.

"Fascinating," Brook marveled. "You make money be entertaining young ladies?"

"Yes," Kyoya replied, "and it's quite a lucrative business.

Nami, with dollar signs in her eyes, said to Kyoya, "Explain to me exactly how it's done."

Kyoya shrugged and turned to Tamaki. "Tamaki you explain it to them." He then noticed what Tamaki was doing and growled, "Now stop that!"

That was Tamaki making a big fuss over Sanji swooning and cooing over Haruhi. Brook had wandered over as well and queried to Haruhi whether he could see her panties. These together had Tamaki fully spazzing out over "these hooligans" bothering "his daughter." Zoro had reached over and smacked Brook on the head and told him to knock it off. The crew, being who and what they are, had all instantly understood the fact that Haruhi was a girl with no clues or hints needed.

Getting back on subject Tamaki turned to Brook and said, "A host is a gentleman who takes care of entertaining young ladies. The more the ladies take a liking to you the more they ask for you."

"And the more money you receive." Kyoya said in an aside to Nami, who was writing it all down.

"Each man," Tamaki continued, "gives the lady of the hour full attention and sees to all her needs. Compliments are to be dripping from the tongue like honey and any likes of the ladies is to be catered to."

"I am the princely type," he explained with sparkles and flowers surrounding his person. "Kyoya is the smart or glasses type. The twins are considered the naughty type. Mori the stoic, manly, quiet type and Hunny is the lolita or cute type. Haruhi is simply known to us as the natural."

"What traits make them certain types?" Franky asked.

Kaoru spoke up this time. "Since you aren't sure how long you will be here, how about you join us here at the club. We will find ways to hide your "conditions" so you appear normal."

"Yeah," Hikaru replied, "we will show you the ropes while you hang out." This was said while a shudder ran up several of the more cowardly members of the Straw Hat crew's backs. The twins had a twinkle in their eyes that spelled trouble for all those involved. The rest of the crew wasn't worried much since their so called captain also caused tons of trouble and it really couldn't be any worse than some of the scraps he got them into.

After the twins took measurements for Brook and Chopper, they were taken to a guest house owned by Kyoya's family. He had contacted his family's secret police to have these strangers ID's checked, however, they had none and so he had them create some that would be there for their use temporarily while they were here.

The crew was told to take the next day to familiarize themselves with the world around them. They explained how to work the technology that they were unfamiliar with and made sure they had enough money to use for exploring or groceries. Brook would need to stay inside until they made a synthetic skin for him. Chopper decided to stay since this world was still scary and he was informed he would only be able to get around if he acted as an exotic pet (no talking or changing shape). Zoro was included in this group since they were worried about him getting lost in this world and never getting back. Franky had been given a synthetic covering for his nose (which he was impressed with) and forced fully into clothes with his hair tamed. The whole crew was severely thankful for this.

So they spent the next day watching "tee-vee" and getting to know this world and it's differences from theirs. Money came in all kinds, although no berries, and technology was very different. There were no tone dials or devil fruits, just electricity, computers, and the T.V. Pirates were also in little supply. Those that did exist were all bad with no honor at all. Brook was especially irritated to find that specialized pirates hunted whales like his friend Laboon. He had almost lost his head, figuratively yo-ho-ho, when he had found out.

No one is this world that was Luffy's age would be allowed to go there own way. Instead all were forced into the "school" they had landed in yesterday. Robin was intrigued at the fact that in the school they learned the history of the world and that everyone was given the information.

The marines were the biggest surprise. They were only a small part of the military which was a bigger part of the government.

Franky was literally drooling at the differing levels of technology that he wanted to get his hands on. Computers themselves were amazing and the different levels of body parts that could be rebuilt to suit those who lost limbs was remarkable. With the things available in this world, Franky could have rebuilt his body to look almost completely normal after his incident with the sea train.

Zoro had no interest in this world. Swords were few and far between and were used more for decoration than actual use. They were not allowed to be worn outside and would get one put in prison if shown or used. He had been forced to leave them in a safe which made him feel naked since he had never been without some form of sword for most of his lifetime.

Usopp rather liked certain aspects of this world. It seemed quite a bit safer than theirs. He already missed Kaya and their ship though, and would never want to give up his dream of being a "warrior of the sea."

Luffy was just enjoying the adventure. He wasn't enjoying the fact that this world had no devil fruit powers. All of the devil fruit users had to refrain from using any of their powers. This was especially difficult for Luffy since it was really just habit by now. Powers like theirs simply did not exist in this world except for the fake stuff on the t.v. "movies." Luffy was warned that if he could not contain himself he would be locked in a "safe" room and left there so he couldn't cause trouble.
