A fifteen year old orange haired girl had barely escaped that pirate ship. She was dragging a bag of treasure and a map to more.

"That was a close call!" she huffed, adjusting her bandana.

"ZORO! HELP ME!" the girl looked up. A girl was being carried by a large bird.

"Whoa! What the hell?" the girl watched as the girl being carried punched the bird and was let go.

"KYAA! ZORO! CATCH ME!" she yelled as she fell. The orange haired girl dropped her bag. She had no clue who this Zoro kid was but he obviously wasn't around. She held out her hands.

"Hey hey! Don't worry kid! I got you!" She called. The screaming girl fell into her arms.

"Whoa! That was some fall!" Then, the girls looked at each other. "Oh! Thank you! I'm Luffy!" Luffy smiled.

"Nami..." The orange haired girl smiled nervously.

Luffy was walking with Nami.

"So there really treasure in that bag?" Luffy asked.

"You got it! I whole lot too!" Nami grinned.

"And the map?"
"It's gonna lead me to more!" Nami smiled wider. Luffy smiled too.

"Maybe I'll help you find your treasure! Zoro should be here soon, he wouldn't let me go like that." Luffy laughed, imagining her green haired companion rushing around every time she would get lost or wander away.

"That'd be fun. I'm a great navigator!" Nami smiled.

"Really!?" Luffy asked

"Really!" Nami smiled.

"Then join us! Me and Zoro! Navigate for us!" Luffy asked.

"That also sounds fun!" Nami laughed along with her new friend.

The two had been walking for a while.

"So what bring you here Luffy?" Nami asked

"Oh! I'm just traveling. You see, I met Zoro a long time ago, we barley knew each other." Luffy said, thinking back to that day on the beach.

"Oh. Well, why travel with someone you don't know?" Nami asked.

"I don't have many memories about before I met him. So why not? We're traveling companions." Luffy smiled. Nami shrugged, if she woke up with amnesia she would probably do the same. "But now he's my first mate!" Luffy said proudly.

"First mate?" Nami asked.

"Oh yeah! We're pirates!" Luffy smiled. Nami stopped dead.

"Pirate? You?" Nami asked, she just couldn't believe it. Luffy... this fourteen year old girl was so nice! So sweet! So innocent!

"Yeah!...Nami? Whats wrong?" Luffy asked.

"I. Hate. Pirates. Luffy, I'm sorry, I can't navigate with you now." Nami sped up.

"Wha- Nami! Wait!" Luffy ran after her.

Zoro was so tired. He had rowed all the way to this crummy, empty island looking for Luffy. Why did he care for her like this? Every time she got separated from him, he got a chance to finally be on his own. But still... Luffy wasn't all that smart. What if she got into some sort of trouble?

"Why do I care!?" Zoro said. But still, he laid low going around the pirate ship that was docked. Then went around town. "Luffy!" He called. "Geez, getting herself lost like this... I swear." Zoro yawned, then looked around. He was back at the boat. "Great..." He sighed, cursing his bad sense of direction.

Luffy agreed to help out Nami with getting more treasure. Nami had Luffy's arms tied behind her back with tape over her mouth.

"Now, follow my lead kid!" Nami pointed. Luffy nodded. Nami tossed Luffy over her shoulder and carried her to the pirate ship. On the deck Nami tossed her down in front of a pirate captain.

"HEY! You! You're the brat who stole my map!" The captain growled.

"I know, I'm here to make a deal with you Buggy." Nami said.

"What kind of deal?" a twenty year old Buggy asked.

"This is my adoptive sister, I came to make a trade. Her for the treasure and map I stole." Nami said.

"What's so special about this girl?" Buggy asked.

"She's... she's made of rubber!" Nami said quickly.

"Prove it." Nami grabbed Luffy's cheek, she was surprised when it actually stretched in her hand.

"Well well! That is something!" The captain laughed. "We could get some big money for her!" Buggy laughed, Nami made Luffy stand, Luffy's arms were still tied behind her back and her mouth was taped shut. Luffy tried to grunt out a protest but failed. A man who looked about 19 or 18 smiled at Luffy.

"Can't we keep her?" He asked Buggy. Buggy thought for a moment.

"We'll see Cabaji." Buggy said. Nami smiled, then she leaned over to Luffy.

"Alright kid, just stay calm till I get the treasure, then I'll make sure you're home free." she whispered. Luffy looked uneasy for a moment, then nodded.

Zoro had wandered onto the pirate ship. He realized this and stayed low, that was until, he saw Luffy tied up in a cage. Zoro silently drew his swords and charged, creating an uproar. Luffy looked over.

"Haaa! Zoro!" She smiled. Zoro sliced someone to the side and felt something pierce his side. He doubled over in pain. Nami came out with the treasure.

"Whats going on?" She asked, looking at Luffy. Luffy ignored her.

"Zoro! Hey! Are you alright!?" Zoro had stumbled over to her.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Come on we need to go now." Zoro cut Luffy's hands free.

"Right! Come on Nami!" Luffy yelled, bring dragged off by Zoro.

"Wait up!" She yelled, running after them.

They took a break in town, they were in front of a pet shop.

"You sure you're okay Zoro?" Luffy asked.

"Yeah. I just need a nap." Zoro yawned and fell asleep on the ground. Luffy laughed. Then she looked at Nami.

"So, what are you gonna do now?" Luffy asked. Nami moved her treasure into one bag.

"I guess I can travel with you. You don't seem bad." Nami sighed. Luffy smiled.

"Great!"

"I guess." Nami shrugged, when a bark sounded. Luffy looked to the side.

"Hey! A puppy!" Luffy grabbed it. The dog barked. "What's wrong boy?" Luffy asked. The dog barked again. "I see." Luffy smiled.

"You speak animal?" Nami asked. Luffy shook her head.

"Nope! But, he's trying to protect this store." Luffy nodded.

It wasn't long before a man came up to them.

"I see you met this stubborn dog." He laughed. Luffy looked up, as did Nami. It was an old man. "You girls seem a bit young to be pirates..." The man pointed out.

"I'm not a pirate. But I'll rob your ass." Nami glared at being called a pirate. Luffy laughed. Then looked at the man.

"I'm a pirate! This is Nami! She's a bandit!" Luffy smiled.

"I prefer the term, talented thief." Nami said. Then, the man looked over at the sleeping Zoro. His eyes widened at the cut in his side.

"Whoa! Is he okay?" the man asked. Luffy looked at her first mate.

"Oh, no. He'll be fine. He just needs to rest." Luffy said. The man picked up Zoro.

"Well, he can rest in this hotel. The man brought Zoro over to a empty building. Luffy followed and watched as Zoro was put down on a bed. Then she went back when Nami screamed.

Nami was face to face with a giant lion. With a seventeen year old on top.
