"Cap, we gotta set sail," Kuro smiled.

Luffy turned around with a smile, "Sorry Kuro, I'm staying with Boa."

Kuro brain stopped working for a moment, "What? What about the one piece?"

Luffy waved his hand without care, "Eh, I don't really need it anyway."

Kuro went blank for a moment, "This is definitely a dream."

Luffy laughed, "What do you mean Kuro, this is real."

Boa charged into the room, "Luffy dear!"

Kuro cringed at that moment, he had never seen a woman who was so lovey dovey, "What did you do with Luffy, Boa?"

Boa looked at Kuro as if he was an insect, "Oh you're still here. If you must know. I have made Luffy fall in love with me so off you go."

Kuro looked at Boa strangely, "Aw hell Nah, I'm leaving this island with my Luffy."

Boa huffed and gave Luffy a meat stick.

Luffy munched on it happily.

Boa looked smugly at Kuro, "Don't you see, Luffy and me are meant to be together forever."

"Don't care, I'm leaving with my Luffy," Kuro narrowed.

Boa eyes narrowed, "Ho, I'm sure you know I could crush you like an insect. I allow you to stand in my presence because of Luffy and yet you dare."

"Quit the high class acting lady," Kuro went towards Luffy.

Boa towered over Kuro and looked down on him with a pissed off face, "Don't try to come between me and Luffy or I'll stop acting nice."

"Do it! You won't!" Kuro dared.

Boa did indeed dared and delivered a kick that sent Kuro flying off the island.

She then went back to being lovey dovey with Luffy.


Kuro woke up breathing heavily.

That was quite a nightmare.

Luffy being taken by Boa from him.

How dare she!

Thinking about how Luffy would even stop chasing the one piece, Kuro laughed.

"Why are you laughing Kuro?" Zoro from the bed side asked.

Kuro went blank, he was suppose to be sleeping in the crow nest, not in a bed with Zoro.

"I'm not laughing," Kuro replied.

Zoro's face turned to Smoker, "Yes you are!!!"

Kuro felt he really needed to wake up.


Up in the crow nest, Kuro shifted around seeming to have a bad dream.

Shifting to the edge, Kuro fell to the deck.

"Ouch!" Kuro rubbed his head.

Suddenly, Kuro felt the greatest of splitting headache.

Rushing towards the side of Merry, Kuro started throwing up.

Luffy came up behind him and laughed patting his back, "Shishishishishishi, you're really bad at drinking Kuro."

Kuro proceeded to throw up more.

Luffy proceeded to laugh more and pat his back.

"I feel like you want something from me Cap," Kuro threw up again.

"Me, Usopp, and Chopper want to ride magic carpet," Luffy's eyes shined.

Kuro held a thumbs up, "Alright, but let me clean myself up first," Kuro threw up again.

Luffy started jumping around happily, "Yay magic carpet! Usopp, Chopper, Kuro says yes."

"Awesome," Usopp cheered.

"Yay," Chopper cheered.

Kuro cleaned himself up and turned into a carpet.

Chopper, Luffy, and Usopp got on.

With Luffy steering, they started flying around.

"Faster faster!" Luffy yelled.

Kuro got faster.

"Faster faster!" Luffy yelled again.

Kuro got even faster.

Chopper and Usopp laughed as they enjoyed the feeling of flying.

A giant seaking rose from the sea to eat Kuro.

"Eeeeeeeeeeee," Chopper and and Usopp choked screaming.

Luffy laughed and punched the seaking back into sea.


The three ladies on the Merry watched the four idiots fly around.

"I want to see them fall into the ocean," Kuina let out.

Robin looked at her with a small surprise, "Oh my, I didn't think you'd have intrusive thought, miss swordsman."

Nami took a sip of her orange juice, "Kuina gets pranked by Kuro a lot so I'm sure you understand."

Robin thought about it and smiled in understanding as she took a sip of her coffee, "What wonderful sister and brotherly love."

Kuina seemed to cringe and Nami spat out her drink laughing,

Robin looked at the two strangely.

Kuina smiled with a sigh, "I've never heard anyone say that."

"Ship ahead!" Zoro yelled from the crow nest.

Looking where Zoro looked, they saw a giant ship that didn't have a Jolly Roger, it's flag was two swords behind a cannon ball.

Nami took out her spy glass and spied the ship, she could see another person using a spy glass on them too, "Looks like bounty hunters."

"They don't look too strong," Kuina said dully.

Robin looked at Kuina with surprise, "You can tell?"

"Yeah, I used my observation haki," Kuina explained.

"Observation haki?" Robin tilted her head.

"It's a skill that almost everyone in the New World have, it's basically a powerful observation skill that you can obtain after many battles or training," Nami elaborated.

"Care to tell me more," Robin smiled.

Kuina became thoughtful, "Nami here should have it, I believe her observation haki of detecting the weather is only going to get stronger as we go further into the Grand Line. Currently, Usopp and Kuro are trying to make a weather staff for her."

Nami eye's widened, "Weather staff?"

Kuina shrugged, "I don't really know the detail but Kuro wanted to make a weapon fit for you in case we can't protect you."

"Oh," Nami nodded in understanding.

Robin took a sip of her coffee, "You two don't seem worried about the bounty hunters."

Kuina was about to reply when Sanji heard.

"Don't worry," Sanji swooned, "I'll take care of them."

Sanji went to the edge of the ship and stared at the bounty hunters with a smoke, it was time to impress the ladies.

Robin and Kuina smiled, wondering what kind of show Sanji was going to put on.

Nami sighed and wanted to facepalm.

The fight proceeded to happen off screen.


On a sandy beach, Kuro and Chopper faced each other.

On Chopper's side was a crab and on Kuro's side was a crab.

"Fight!" Kuro yelled.

"They said they don't want to fight," Chopper explained.

"You can speak crab!?" Kuro eyes widened.

"Uh yes?" Chopper look confused.

"So you're telling me," Kuro pointed, "You can convince a seaking to give us a ride?"

Chopper became thoughtful, "Yes?"

Kuro had a crazy thought, Chopper had voice of all thing confirmed?

Probably not, it seemed unlikely.

"Chopper I need you to tell these two crabs to fight," Kuro stared.

"Uhm ok," Chopper proceeded to tell the crabs to fight, "They still said no."

Kuro looked at the two crab and clapped his hand together, "Why? What must I do for them to fight?"

Chopper proceeded to speak to the crabs, "They said nothing, they just don't see the need to fight each other."

Kuro whispered into Chopper's ear, "Tell that crab you saw the other crab with his wife."

"But that's lying," Chopper stammered.

"Come on Chopper, don't you want to see a legendary crab battle?" Kuro urged.

Chopper folded his arm, "It's not the right thing to do."

Kuro sighed, "I guess you leave me no choice."

Choppper became startled, "What are you going to do?"

Kuro took out two straw, "Tell them the first one who doesn't want to be tickled anymore is a sea clam."

"What!?" Was all Chopper could say before the straws of doom swung at the crabs.

Everything seemed to happen in slow motion.

"Nnnnnnnnooooooooo," Chopper yelled.

The straw struck and Kuro proceeded to tickle the crabs.

The crabs started clacking their claw in a laughing fit.

Kuro proceeded to keep tickling them.

Chopper took out two straw, "I won't let you!"

Chopper proceeded to try and counter Kuro's tickling.

Far away, Robin, Kuina, and Nami felt they lost a few brain cells.


Robin and Kuina were strolling through a forest.

"Miss swordsman, do you know anything your brother is afraid of?" Robin questioned.

Kuina fell into thought, "I don't think so, he always seems to have everything under control with everything in his expectation."

"Under control?" Robin tilted her head with a smile.

Kuina could see Robin wanted to scare Kuro.

Kuina wanted to see Kuro scared too so she was fine with helping Robin.

"Let's just say that nothing seems out of his expectation so he always seem calm," Kuina elaborated.

Robin studied a flower, "What do you think would be out of his expectation?"

"Out of my expectation?" Kuro exclaimed from out of the trees with Chopper.

Kuina and Robin didn't seem surprise at his appearance.

"Miss swordsman and I were discussing what could scare you," Robin smiled.

Kuro looked at Kuina strangely and Kuina just smiled back.

Kuro suddenly fell into thought, was he really scared of anything?

"I don't know what could scare me since I'm not even afraid of death right now, heck, anything that could kill me just gives me a pleasant surprise," Kuro explained.

"You're not scared of death?" Chopper awed.

Kuro shook his head, "No."

"And why's that?" Kuina questioned with interest.

Kuro shrugged, "We're all going to die one day, don't know if we'll die today or tomorrow so shouldn't really worry about it."

"You have quite the outlook on life mister strategist," Robin smiled, "Mind telling me how you got such an outlook."

Kuro picked up Chopper and hugged him, "I'm desensitized to most things, it's like pain, you get use to it the longer you deal with it."

"Hoh," Kuina grinned.

Kuro knew that grin, she was about to do something he didn't like.

Faster than the eye can see, Kuina swung her sword at his neck.

Robin eye's widened with shock.

Chopper shook with fear in Kuro's arm.

Kuina narrowed her eyes as she saw Kuro smiling.

Her sword had dug into his neck, but not too deep.

Pulling her sword back, Robin and Chopper could see a drop of blood on it.

Kuina seemed to have thought of something strange.

She licked the blood on the sword.

Robin, Chopper, and Kuro's expression became wild.

Kuina smiled and took Robin's hand, "I like that look on your face Kuro."

Kuro became stood still shocked at what just happened.

"Let's go Robin," Kuina smiled as she dragged the shock struck Robin.

After the two were gone, Kuro looked up at the sky that was about to rain.

Chopper looked at Kuro worriedly.

"That was definitely out of expectation," Kuro murmured and headed back towards the Merry with Chopper.


Kuina spat on the ground and let Robin's hand go.

Robin looked at her hand as she regained most of her composure.

"What you did was quite exotic, miss swordsman," Robin smiled.

Robin looked at Kuina who stood still, "Are you okay?"

Robin went to see Kuina's face and saw the woman blushing.

"Oh my," Robin covered her mouth with her hand.

Kuina took a deep breath and regain her composure, "That was possibly the most dumbest thing I've done in my life."

Robin smiled gently, "But the result was wonderful wasn't it?"

Kuina grinned, "Definitely, for the first time in my life I feel I have power over Kuro. You know, he use to bully me just like he did with you."

Robin took in the information with interest, "I'm guessing you adapted to his bullying?"

Kuina nodded with a grin, "Yeah, but I never managed to make him shock like he did with me until today."

Robin giggled, "You must be quite pleased over your victory."

"Definitely," Kuina smiled back.

Robin held out her hand, "Would you like to work together?"

"Sure!" Kuina took the hand with a smile and shook it.

That day, Robin and Kuina became secret buddies.
