"I'm going to be King of the Pirates!"

Zoro couldn't believe what he had just heard, "King of the pirates? Do you understand what you are saying?"

Luffyko just grinned, "The Pirate King is the Pirate King, what else could it mean?"

"Don't you mean Pirate Queen?"

Luffyko just stared at him and thought for a second, "Nope Pirate King, Pirate Queen just doesn't work for me. Sounds weak."

The marines just stared at the girl before them, "I was surprised to!" Coby said with a grin, "But she is serious. That's the kind of persn she is, she will become the King of the Pirates and find the ultimate treasure, the One Piece."

Zoro looked at the grinning girl and couldn't help, but see his childhood friend and even himself. He watched as she pulled off the three swords from her back, "Here you go! I wasn't sure which one was yours, so I just grabbed all of them."

"All three are mine, I use three swords."

Luffyko just grinned and held them up to him. "You will use them right? Ah but, if you do you will owe me!" She laughed and looked at her forced comrade, "Fight with me, or die by the marines, your choice!"

Zoro slowly grinned at her, "You are the Devil's daughter, and you shouldn't laugh about cornering a man. Fine, I would rather be a pirate then die someplace like this."

Luffyko jumped up in the air happily, "Yay I got a comrade! I can't wait, oh this is so excited."

Zoro glared at her, "Are you forgetting what's going on? Untie me, now!" Zoro watched as she tried to figure out the knots. However, he didn't trust Captain Morgan, he was looking at his new captain with an appreciative eye, and not the good kind. He could only blame himself, getting involved with a girl who reminds him of Kuina. He looked down and blushed at the view; the girl needed a bra. "Hurry up."

Luffyko just pouted, "But these knots are just too hard."

"Stop screwing around!" He yelled, he looked over and saw the marines had switched over to knives and were charging, "Just give me my swords!" He felt them slip in his hands and he sliced the ropes holding him and blocked all of the swords. "Don't move, if you want to live." He growled out with his sword in his mouth. He then looked up at Luffyko, "Becoming a pirate and opposing the marines will make me a wanted man. However, I want you to know I will always follow my ambitions. I will become the World's Greatest Swordsman, and if you dare get in my way, I will kill you on my swords."

"World's Greatest Swordsman? The Pirate King couldn't have any other."

Zoro smirked, "Indeed, it doesn't matter if it's as a devil or saint, as long as my name is able to make it to the heavens."

Luffyko laughed as the marines began to move, "Duck Zoro!" Zoro quickly ducked as Luffyko pulled back her leg, "Gomu Gomu Whip!" She yelled as she released her leg, knocking the entire group of marines away from Zoro.

Zoro looked at the strange girl whose leg had just stretched and earlier bounced bullets back at her enemies, "What are you?"

Luffyko just laughed then stretched her check, "I ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi, so now I'm a rubber girl."

Zoro looked at the weird girl as he heard the marines start to back off saying they couldn't fight someone like her. Captain Morgan glared at them, "All of you who just said that, shoot yourselves, captain's order."

Zoro got ready to fight again, "What is up with these marines?" He watched as Luffyko took off running towards them in a hurry, for the first time he saw that her face was serious.

"Luffyko! Crush those marines!" Coby yelled out as the girl began to knock them all out of her way, and she pulled her fist back and punched Captain Morgan who blocked it with the ax he had as a hand.

Captain Morgan looked down on the girl and gave her a cold smirk, "You think you can beat me? No civilian with no rank could beat me, especially some little whore off the street. I'm Axe Hand Morgan!"

Luffyko tilted her head and introduced herself to him, "I'm Monkey D. Luffyko, nice to meet you."

Captain Morgan glared down at the girl, "Die," he yelled as he swung his ax hand at the girl." To his dismay she easily dodged and he swung again only for her to jump up and away from the blow. She then brought down her feet on his face and back flipped off to land on her feet as he fell to the ground, "You little bitch!" He raised his arm as she charged him and brought it down only to have her spin out of the way, brining her foot back and hitting him in the face again.

"You gotta do better than that!" Luffyko said as she landed on her feet, her hand holding down her straw hat.

The marines looked at the battle between their captain and the slim girl in shock, "Captain Morgan…he's no match for her."

Luffyko picked up Captain Morgan by his collar and began to punch him in the face with her other hand, "What kind of marines are you? Destroying Coby's dream like that?"

Just then Helmeppo screamed out, "Just a minute straw hat, look at this!" He held Coby at gunpoint and watched as Luffyko just ignored him and kept punching his father. "I said look, damn it! Are you an idiot? Can't you see I have a hostage?" Luffyko dropped the captain and looked at Coby. "If you care about his life, don't move. You try anything and I will shoot!"

Coby looked at the girl and felt his heart pound, "Luffyko, I don't want to interfere with your dream, so don't worry about me!"

Luffyko grinned and began to walk towards him, "See Coby isn't afraid."

Zoro watched as she pulled her arm back to punch only to see the captain raise his ax over his head, ready to bring it down on the rubber girl's head. 'Damn it, this girl.' As she punched he charged and cut down the captain, preventing him from cutting down the girl. Luffyko giggled without looking behind her, "Nice job, Zoro."

"It was nothing, captain." Zoro sheathed his swords and looked at the marines, "Anyone who still wants to fight, come on over."

They watched in surprise as the marines began to cheer. Coby looked at them happily, "They weren't bad, they were just scared of Captain Morgan!"

Luffyko shrugged and then watched as Zoro collapsed, "Zoro!" She rushed over and looked down on him and began to shake him, "Zoro, are you okay, Zoro!"

"I'm hungry."

"Well I'm full!" Zoro said as he pushed his plates away. "That was worth not eating for three weeks!" He looked over at his slim captain and saw her still munching on some apples. "I don't understand how you can eat more than me."

Luffyko just shrugged, "Cause it's good, right Coby?"

Coby blushed, "Sorry, I ate a lot too."

The lady smiled and just brushed it away, "It was nothing! You guys saved us!"

The little girl looked up at Luffyko and grinned, "You were amazing back there!"

"Ya I was! But I will be even better, and I'm going to be the Pirate King! I even have a comrade now!"

"Oh ya I remember that you were looking for a crew, so how many people do we have? To become the pirate king, you must have a crew already."

Luffyko finished her bite then pointed to her and then him, "You and me!" Zoro looked at her shocked then pointed at himself and her, "Yep just us!" Luffyko laughed out.

"Can we be pirates with just the two of us?"

"What does that matter, we're strong."

Zoro had a bad feeling about this, "What about our pirate ship?"

Luffyko pointed out the window to a small little boat that looked like it could barely hold the two of them. "That's it. It's a little small, but I'll get us a big one! Oh and a pirate flag." Luffyko went off in her own little world leaving Zoro to pounder his captain choice.

"Luffyko seems to have been born with no planning ability." Coby informed him.

"Am I really going to be following this girl?"

Luffyko returned from her own world and continued eating, "We will get more comrades as we go along."

"So where are you guys going now?" The little girl asked Luffyko.

"Isn't it obvious, the Grand Line."

Coby spit out his juice, no planning abilities that was one thing, but this was ridiculous. "With just the two of you? That's impossible!"

Zoro leaned back and shrugged, "Guess we have no choice, to the Grand Line."

"You too, Zoro?"
"What do you care, you aren't going."

Coby felt his heart clench at the reminder he would have to leave Luffyko to chase her dangerous dream, "Even though its been a short time, Luffyko and I are friends! Right Luffyko?"

"Right! Even though we are parting ways we will always be friends."

Zoro leaned in to Coby with a smirk, "Or are you just bumped that your crush is leaving you behind?"

Before Coby could respond the marines came in, "We heard you guys are pirates. Is this true?"

Luffyko looked up and smiled, "Yep, that's right and this is my first crew mate!"

"I'm sorry, we are thankful for everything you have done, but you must leave. We won't let headquarters know, for thanks for all that you have done for this town." Luffyko stood up and began to walk out with Zoro. "Wait isn't he with you?" The marine commander asked looking down at Coby.

Luffyko turned and looked at him, "Him, oh I know all about him! I met him on a cruise ship and he was working under this fat pirate called Alvida! He worked under her for to years!"

"Luffyko!" He yelled as his hand reached out and slapped her. She grinned and began to beat him until Zoro pulled her off.

"Enough he's clearly not with you, please leave."

Zoro followed his captain down to their boat, "Well that's one way to leave a town."

Luffyko giggled and looked back at the marine base, "Ya, I'm sure Coby will become a great marine one day."

Zoro looked at her and sighed, "You do know that means he will be your enemy, don't you?"

"Ya but it's all good!"

"The life of a pirate, everyone will hate us."

Luffyko just laughed as they set sail, "Yep."
"Luffyko! Thank you for everything! I will never forget you!" Coby yelled as they drifted farther out to sea. He then saluted her and a group of marines came up behind him and also saluted them.

Zoro looked at them and smiled, "Marines saluting pirates, I'm sure that will never happen again.

Luffyko stood up on the bow of the ship with a grin, "We are on our way to being pirates!"

"It's gunna be one hell of an adventure."

Luffyko looked forward, "I will become the Pirate King."

Zoro looked at the girl before him and saw the will that drove her, "You are always rambling on about the Pirate King, is there a particular reason?"

"Nope no reason."

"But?"

"I made a vow to that man, to form an amazing crew, to find the worlds legendary treasure, and to become the King of the Pirates." She touched her hat with a smile, "This straw hat knows it all."

Zoro looked at his captain and gave a small smile, "I see. That works just find, since I made a vow to someone to become the World's Greatest Swordsman."

Luffyko looked at him and grinned, "Well what are we waiting for?" She pointed forward into the setting sun, "Let's go, to the Grand Line!"
