Chapter nine
Zoro, Luffy, and Harry had been sailing a crossed the open ocean for a couple of days now and Harry was seriously close to just throwing Luffy overboard; despite the fact he knew Luffy in no way could swim.
Though at the same time he was only willing to even think about doing this because he was sure Zoro would most likely dive in and save him afterward anyway…. maybe. And most likely would thank Harry for the opportunity once he did it, as it would give them both a reprieve from Luffy for a bit. Even if Harry most likely would feel rather guilty about doing it later; possibly. Though even with that thought of guilt it was a rather tempting thought especially lately.
The main reason for this, being the fact that not a single one of the knew how to navigate effectively, meaning they were currently hopelessly lost. To top it off and make an already highly irritating mind-numbing boring thing even worse, Luffy had not shut up about starving to death for the last couple of hours.
Which was why Harry wanted to throw him overboard so badly. Even if he knew he would never actually do so, it didn't stop him from thinking about from time to time when Luffy's voice would reach just the right pitch in his complaining a pitch that would have his ears pin down and his growing headache throb in pain.
Suddenly Harry was torn away from his thoughts of how to successfully manage to throw Luffy overboard, and how to talk Zoro in to helping to do so; as well convince him to jump in the water after Luffy once it was done. When Luffy pointed up toward the sky and excitedly shouted out.
"Look a bird, FOOOOOOD!"
Before using his gum gum fruit abilities to stretch out and grab it before anyone could think of stopping him. Harry seeing this turned to Zoro, who had an equally deadpan expression on his face, before they both turned to watch as Luffy got small and smaller as he got further away; all the while the bird staying the same size. Letting the two in the boat know without actually seeing the real size of the bird, that it was much bigger than Luffy was; much bigger than either one of them had first thought it was.
Once Luffy was nearly out of sight, Harry sighed and closed his eyes briefly knowing that Luffy had once again got captured by a creature much larger than he was. All because of his stomach; yet again.
Honestly he had hoped he was done with that happening once they had left their home island at the same time he felt that he should have known better than to think that considering the lengths he knew Luffy would go to when it came to satisfying his own stomach. Similar to how he knew how sometimes he would go too far when it came to his pranks or when it came to getting the information he wanted to get; or sometimes how he got around particular shinnies as well.
Knowing this and knowing that yet again Luffy was going to somehow drag him in to whatever insanity he found by the time he reached him Harry gave a deep sigh before grabbed the nearby oars. Before turning to face Zoro, just as he asked him; in a rather disbelieving emotionless tone.
"He isn't coming back down, is he?"
Instead of answering him Harry handed off one of the oars he had and started paddling as hard as he could in the direction the 'bird' had taken Luffy off in. Letting Zoro know without actually saying it that no Luffy wasn't coming back down.
Zoro seeing this, did a now very familiar eye twitch and joined Harry in paddling at a high speed toward the island the bird was heading. Making the little boat the two were in all but fly a crossed the ocean surface as they did so. Moving faster than they had the entire time they had been in the ocean while doing so.
As the two were soaring over the water, and approaching the oncoming island at high speeds, they suddenly heard someone shouting for help. Hearing this, Harry looked around to see where it was coming from as Zoro keep on paddling so they would not loose site of the bird that still held their captain.
Even as he did this, Harry swore he could hear Luffy screaming at the bird to put him down and let itself be eaten; something he could really see his brother doing. Hell, he had done it before multiple times with multiple different large creatures that had wanted to eat Luffy instead.
By his looking around, Harry was able to see what looked to be a pair of…. clowns, yes clown looking men that seemed to be drowning. Problem was that they were right in the middle of their path and if they stopped the boat, they would most likely loose site of Luffy. Which would be a bad thing considering the trouble his brother could get himself into by just breathing.
So, to solve this problem, as well as get rid of some of the frustration he was still feeling, Harry brought his wires up and before the drowning clowns could protest, or get away for that matter, Harry had them wrapped in his wires before slamming them, a little harder than was strictly necessary on the boat floor behind him.
Only to twitch and wonder if the half-downed clowns were mentally damaged in some way. When, while still wrapped up tightly in his sharp metal wires, the, now apparently, pirate clowns demanded.
"Stop and hand this boat over in the name of Buggy the clown; the greatest pirate in the eastern sea!"
Hearing this demand and seeing that Zoro was incredible close to snapping Harry flicked his wrist, and there for the wires that were still in use. Sending the idiots up in the sky and slamming them down hard before realizing them from his wires and letting Zoro have some fun. After all Zoro was now part of their crew and stress relief was stress relieve; especially when there were idiots like those clowns all but begging for it.
Harry had to admit that the screams the supposed terrifying clown pirates let loose where surprisingly therapeutic; for both Zoro and him. At least now he no longer felt the urge to chuck his brother in the next large body of water he could find after finding him.
Unfortunately, while the two were doing this, and making sure that their boat wasn't stolen by some clown pirates, they had managed to lose the bird that had been carrying Luffy away in the first place.
This caused both Harry and Zoro to curse aloud before going back to rowing; moving at even faster speeds towards the island they had been heading too before. As it was were Luffy was considering there wasn't any other islands around and the bird would have to land soon. Both of them gaining growing headache as they did so.
Harry because he knew, Luffy would be neck deep in whatever trouble there was on the island already and Zoro because he didn't want to lose his captain so soon after finding him; it might look bad on him.
