Luffyko watched as Nami fixed her hat carefully. "It's looking better!" She cheered blocking the sunlight for Nami.

Nami sighed and continued her work, "I am fixing it. Get out of the light so I can see." Luffyko moved and Nami could see again. Nami made a few more corrections only to have the light go away again, Luffyko peering over at the hat. She looked over at Zoro who was sleeping and sighed, why can't he deal with her, or can he? "Luffyko go play a game with Zoro while I finish your hat. That way you can have fun while you wait."

Luffyko hit a fist to her hand, "That's a great idea!" She jumped back over to the other boat and began to poke Zoro, "Hey Zoro! Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

Zoro groaned and opened his eyes, "What now?"

"Nami told me to play a game with you while she works on my hat!" Luffyko said with a grin.

Zoro shot Nami a glare, who just stuck her tounge out at him, and then turned back to Luffyko, "Fine what game are we playing?"

Luffyko thought for a moment and then grinned, "A staring contest!"

Zoro sighed and agreed, "Fine. Ready, set, go." He started at her and she stared back. After a bit his gaze started to wander and stopped at the small cut above her eye. She had been hurt in the last battle. Not that he could say anything, she came out in better condition then he did, but he had still let her get hurt. That and her treasured hat had been torn. He looked back into her eyes, which were starting to strain from the contest and couldn't help but feel guilty, until she began to pull on her cheeks to try to get him to laugh and blink. Zoro smirked and returned the gesture, which made the girl blink. "I win."

Luffyko just started at him in amazement, "You did something funny! Do it again!"

Zoro looked at the girl feeling slightly terrified, "No."

"Do it!" She said with a creepy grin as she got closer, "I demand it as captain!"

Nami had finished her hat then hit the girl in the head, "Shut up, here's your hat I fixed it."

Luffyko stared at her precious hat and gave a small sigh, "Thanks Nami." She looked over the horizon and stood up full of energy, "Onto the Grand Line!"

Nami hit her in the head again, "There is no way we can get to the Grand Line in our condition."

Luffyko and Zoro stared at her in surprise then Luffyko, who had started eating an apple looked down and nodded, "That's right I love apples and all, but we need more food, like meat or pie…oh or a meat pie!"

"Some sake would be nice." Zoro said as he leaned back against the boat.

Nami glared at him and threw an apple at him that Luffyko caught on the rebound and began to eat it. "What are you two talking about? I'm not talking about food or drinks! I'm saying that the Grand line is the most dangerous place in the world. There will be lots of pirates looking for the One Piece, and they will definitely have powerful ships."

Luffyko just shrugged, "Then let's just make them our friends."

Nami just shot her a glare and continued, "Not only do we lack manpower, but our ship is clearly not equipped. There's no way we could make it their safely."

Luffyko nodded, "Looks like we still need a chef and a musician."

"Musician?" Zoro questioned and then burst out laughing.

Nami looked at the two like they were idiots, "Are you stupid?" She sighed and turned back to her map, "It looks like if we head south, there's a small inhabited island. It would be best if we found a good boat there."

Luffyko grinned, "Ah time to eat a meat pie!"

"Don't forget the sake."

"You guys!" Nami cried out in frustration. She sighed the island should be coming into view soon, at least she hoped. She needed a break already from the two idiots. She watched as their boat began to drift away from hers, "You two if you don't stay close to me you two will get lost at sea." She groaned out.

Luffyko just laughed, "We would be fine."

"I have all the food."

"Zoro! Get us back in position!" Luffyko ordered as he dropped an oar onto her head, "You can help too."

Nami sighed how did she get stuck with the two pirates who knew nothing of navigation. "How on earth did you two sail before this?" She asked in wonder.

Luffyko just laughed, "I just went wherever the boat took me." Nami got lost in her thoughts as she saw Luffyko in a boat just circling in the middle of the ocean. "The whirlpool was a bit tough, I thought I was a goner!"

"Whirlpool?" Zoro asked as he envisioned the girl clinging to the mast as a tiny boat got sucked into the whirlpool.

"Ya I got in a barrel and took a nap. When I woke up I was on a ship!"

The two looked at her in amazement and both thought, 'She has the Devil's luck.'

"Why are you two giving me that look? Hey there is a seagull! Let's chase after it!"

Nami hit her in the head, "No we are going south there should be an island-"

"I see the island!" Luffyko cried making Nami jump backwards.

"Don't yell like that, idiot! You gave me a heart attack!"

Zoro just laughed and then looked towards the island. 'I don't think I've ever laughed this much,' he thought as he watched his captain began another argument with Nami.

"Land!" Luffyko cheered as she jumped off the boat and grinned.

Zoro stretched out and yawned, "It's been a while since I've been on land."

"Ah so the village is farther down that way?" Luffyko asked Nami when she saw a small trail leading out from the beach.

"Ya, although it is a small village."

"Food…food there should be some food in the village right?" Luffyko asked as Nami shot her another glare.

"Can you not think about food all the time?"

Zoro stopped stretching when he heard a noise coming from atop the cliffs. He quickly went to his swords, "Careful, someone's here." He saw something shoot towards Luffyko and quickly turned around, "Watch out!" Luffyko awkwardly danced in place trying to avoid the objects shooting into the sand by her feet. Nami ran for cover and Zoro turned to find the enemy as flags appeared from the bush surrounding them.

"Wow! This is awesome!" Luffyko cried out in amazement.

"This isn't the time to be an awe!" Nami snapped at the other girl.

A boy appeared with a long nose and crossed his arms across his chest, "I am the leader of the great pirate crew that conquered this village, Usopp. Everyone praises me and addresses me as Captain Usopp! If you're thinking of attacking this village, you should just save your strength. Otherwise, my 80 million men will crush you like a little bug!"

Luffyko's jaw dropped, "Incredible!"

Nami groaned at the foolish antics of the girl, "It's a lie."

Usopp grabbed his head and began to scream, "She saw through it!"

Nami smirked and looked at the other girl, "See, he said I saw through it."

Usopp's body began to sway in impossible ways, "She saw through it, this is bad."

Luffyko's amazement was crushed, "What he was lying!"

"Damn you, 80 million might have been an exaggeration, but I have many strong and powerful companions!"

"All three of them?" Nami smirked as the three children jumped up and began screaming to run.

Usopp watched as his men deserted him, "Hey you guys don't run!"

"A pirate that uses a slingshot. I've never heard of such a thing." Nami said as she picked up one of the metal balls he had shot at them.

Luffyko laughed and looked at Usopp, "You're quite an interesting fellow."

Usopp glared at the pirate girl who laughed at him, "Hey you, don't laugh at me! I'm a man of great pride." He pulled out his slingshot and pulled it back ready to shoot the girl with the metal ball. "Because of my great pride, everyone calls me Usopp the proud. You saw me earlier, my skills with a slingshot is better than a pistol."

Luffyko pulled her hat down, "Since you mentioned pistol, now that you have drawn your weapon, are you ready to bet your life on the land?" She asked as she looked up at him from under her hat. "It's not a tool to scare people."

Zoro smirked and readied his sword, "This person who stands before you is a real pirate."

Usopp looked at the girl and couldn't help, but tremble. That and the swordsman smirking at him, they looked ready to kill. He couldn't help but drop to his knees, for being as unintimidating as she was, she was still a real pirate. "As I thought, a true pirate's speech is much more intimidating."

Luffyko smiled and then looked at Zoro and began to laugh, "I just repeated what someone said. The pirate I deeply respected Shanks."

"Shanks? Shanks you say? The red haired Shanks, you know the great pirate?"

"Ya, Yasopp was it? That's your father's name."

Usopp screamed and fell down and looked at the girl, "It's true that Yasopp is my dad's name. But how do you know that?"

Luffyko's stomach growled and she grinned, "I'll tell you, but first I need food."

"And sake."

"Guys we are here for a ship!" Nami reminded, but sighed as the three had already started walking away.

"Oi Nami catch up." Zoro called with a smirk as the navigator screeched at him. "So where is this place, I need a drink."

"And food!" Luffyko cried out happily, "I want a meat pie today!"

Zoro looked at his captain and shook his head, "What is with the meat pie?"

"It sounds good. Besides my apple crave is gone." Luffyko said with a grin.

"Apple crave?"

"Yep I wanted apples, now I want meat pies."

Zoro just shrugged as his odd captain and continued following the boy. "So do they have good sake?"

"Food is more important." Luffyko interrupted as they arrived to the restaurant.

Usopp waited till the girl had her food then, "So Luffyko you knew my dad?"

Luffyko took a large bite of the meat pie and nodded, "Ya I met him when I was young. He was on Shank's ship."

"He was on Shank's ship?!"

"You look just like him. When I first saw you, I thought you were his son."

"Really?" Usopp looked towards the ocean and smiled, "I never though that my dad would be on such a great ship."

"I don't know what his situation is now, but he's probably still with him." Luffyko said as she finished the pie then grabbed an apple. "Your father's marksmanship is truly elite. Usopp, I've heard the story about you time and time again that my ears almost fell off. Yasopp is a great pirate."

"That's what I thought! To disregard his own life and indulge himself in the cast and endless sea…I feel so proud of my father."

"This makes our discussion much easier!" Nami said with a grin, "Hey, is there anyone who can sail a ship or acquire a large ship in this village?"

Usopp sighed and looked out at the village, "As you can see, this village is pretty small. I'm very sorry but there is no way I can fulfill your request."

"On top of the hill, there is a very large mansion." Zoro pointed out.

Nami cheered and turned to Usopp, "Hey, do you know them? I wonder if we can ask them to give us a little financial support."

Usopp glared at her, "You can't go there." He realized he had said to much as they all looked at him, "I…I suddenly remembered that I still have to do something. I know the owner of this shop quite well so go ahead and order anything you want. I'll be on my way then!" He said as he ran out the door.

Nami watched him go, "In such a hurry too." She turned back to see Luffyko still stuffing her face. "Really how much does it take for you to be full?"

Luffyko just giggled and began to eat a leg of meat, "It's so good, how can I be full?"

Nami sighed and took another small bite of her meal, "I swear if I didn't know better I would think you were a boy."

Zoro held back a snort. His captain may act like a man, but her body was definitely of a woman. He took another drink when three children yelled, "The Usopp pirate crew is here!

"What's going on?" Nami wondered as she looked at the three little boys.

"The captain is not here."

"Don't tell me…"

"Hey you pirates, what have you done with Captain Usopp? What have you done?"

Luffyko finished her drink and tapped her bloated stomach, "That was some good meat!"

The children looked at her horrified, Nami gave her a look of disgust, "Meat?! Don't tell me, the captain was…" Nami couldn't help but laugh at the childrens thoughts, "Wh…what!? What have you done?" They asked in terror.

Zoro gave a scary grin to the children and said, "Your captain was eaten!"

The children screamed and looked at Nami, "Ahh, a witch!"

"Why are you looking at me?" She yelled at the terrified children. The children fell down and she glared at her two companions, "It's all because you guys were being stupid."

After they explained to the children it had been a joke they followed them to the mansion, "So it was only a joke."

Luffyko looked up at the mansion and gasped, "It's huge!"

"If you can't find the captain around this time, he's probably here." One of the kids explained.

"What does he come here to do?" Luffyko wondered.

"He comes here to lie!" One of the kids said with a grin.

"That's not something he should do!" Nami lectured the children.

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's different, right?" Another child asked.

The other two agreed, "Yeah, it's different."

Zoro looked down at the three kids, "What do you mean by that?"

The kids began to tell them about the girl who lived there, Kaya, and how she was sick. They went on to tell her that Usopp lied to her to make her laugh and cheer up.

"So he's a good guy." Luffyko concluded.

"Ya! I like the way he keeps meddling in other people's business."

"I like the way he overreacts to everything." Another child said.

"I like the way he lies!" The last kid said with a grin.

"And has that lady cheered up?" Nami asked.

"Yes, she has."

Luffyko grinned then, "Good! Then let's go in and ask her for a ship!"

Zoro looked at his captain with an eyebrow raised, "The one that cheered her up is Usopp."

"Getting in is an impossible task." The kids explained, "There are very large bodyguards guarding the gate at all times."

"Where's Luffyko?" Nami wondered when she didn't see the female pirate next to them.

"Alright let's go in and have a look."

Zoro looked at her and got a bad feeling about her plan, "Don't tell me you're…"

"Gum Gum-"

The kids began to spring as she held on to the top of the fence and her body lowered towards he ground, "What's going on?! She stretched her arms all the way down there!" They said in horror.

"Sorry to intrude!" Luffyko yelled as everyone grabbed on to her. She launched everyone and herself into the sky landing on the ground. "Successful landing!" She called out from the crater in the sidewalk she had made from her fall.

Nami glared at her from the grass, "No it wasn't!"

A pale girl looked out from a window and called out, "Ar…are you alright?"

Usopp quickly tried to come up with a cover story, "It's okay…They heard how great I was, so they came to join the Usopp Pirate crew."

Luffyko stood up and brushed the debris from her clothes, "No we didn't. We came here to ask a favor of you."

"A favor of me?" She asked in surprise.

"Ya, we want a large ship."

"You there!" A voice called out. "What are you doing?" A butler asked as he walked towards them.

"Kurahadol." Kaya said as she saw the man.

"You're trespassing and causing trouble here." He said as he adjusted his glasses with his palm.

Luffyko looked at him and tilted her head, "Who's this guy?"
