Steve's POV

Nami was cheering over my victory. She was pleased with her treasure haul, she said it was over Ten million Beli. She divided it into two bags and had Luffy carry one for her. Luffy went over to check on Zoro and make sure he was still alive

"Hey you" A group of villagers asked us walking into the village. They wanted to know if we the pirates had destroyed the village. Then they saw their chief and became concerned.

"Sorry I did that." Luffy admitted to knocking the old man out cold like it was nothing.

"Why did you tell them that?" Nami and I asked simultaneously.

The townspeople then wanted to know why we did it and if we were pirates.

"We're pirates"

You Idiot stop talking!

The citizens charged at us assuming we had been the one to destroy the town, which was half true we did fight there and wreck stuff.

"Let's run" I grabbed Zoro and Nami and Luffy grabbed the treasure as we made our way to the shore.

"Why did you make things so complicated?" Nami asked

"You should have kept your mouth shut you idiot." I continued to scold my friend until he got oddly philosophical.

"This is a great village. Look how upset they are over the mayor getting hurt."

We cut down an alley in an attempt to lose the mob. They were only stopped when our friend Chou-Chou stepped in to cover our escape. The villagers were upset that the dog was blocking them from chasing us. But we didn't have time to chat with our little friend we had to get to the port before we got killed by the crowd.

Thanks Dog.

We arrived at the shore where Zoro and I had stowed our boat and Nami had left hers. Luffy complimented Nami on her boat when some familiar faces emerged from the cabin.

"We've been waiting. Seems the thief has her whole crew with her." The men walked up to threateningly Nami before I stepped up.

"I suggest you worthless pieces of garbage back off unless you want to get beat again." I shot the men a hellish glare and as soon as they recognized my face they were off running.

"Wow that was incredible, but lose that weird fetish thing where you call people dirt." Nami said thanking me.

"What are you talking about? Are you referring to how I called them garbage, I don't have a weird domination thing if that's what you think."

"Yeah the guy who fights with whips and calls people garbage and worm, totally not into weird fetish stuff." Nami shrugged her shoulders

"You do usually have a smile when you fight." Luffy added.

"IM NOT SOME PERVERT!" I snapped red with embarrassment.

Do I really look like some perverted dominatrix?

We got off that subject as quickly as possible and got the boats ready to sail. Nami took her own and the guys and I rode in the other. We had just started to drift away from the island when we noticed The Mayor was at the dock.

"Stop Right There!" yelled the Mayor. I wasn't sure what he would be upset about besides the fact that Luffy had smashed his head into a wall. "THANK YOU! I OWE YOU!"

As we drifted out to sea Nami came to an unfortunate realization, that Luffy had left his bag of treasure behind. She tried to drown him but I put a stop to that. And like that we laughed it off and sailed on to our next location with our new navigator in tow.

LATER

We had been sailing for a few days when we came to the conclusion that we needed supplies. Luffy wanted to head straight for the Grande Line but Nami and I put a quick stop to that.

"We can't go to the Grand line in a ship like this" Nami said putting her thinking face on.

"We also need more members and equipment. Four people isn't really a stable crew." I added to our list of problems.

Nami suggested we head to a small island north of us so we could prepare and stock up for the upcoming journeys.

We actual arrived at our destination successfully thanks to Nami. We got out and stretched our legs when Zoro pointed out that we were being watched by four people. Three of them ran off leaving the tallest one behind.

"I'm the great pirate leader Usopp." A long-nosed man introduced himself "I suggest you turn around. I'll have you know I have eighty million men under my control."

"You're lying." Both Nami and I called the man out on his bluff.

We all laughed at this man and his ridiculous statements. Usopp led us to a bar in town. We talked and told him that we were looking for a crew and a big ship.

"Well there's only one place you can find that stuff in this village. There's a mansion just outside of the village and the ship there belongs to the mansion's owner." Usopp explained he went on to say that the owner was a sickly young girl whose parents had died and left the mansion to her.

Long nose then said he would join our crew if we let him be captain to which the rest of us just ignored him.

"I have something to take care of I'll see you guys later." Usopp got up and walked out of the bar.

We sat in the bar for a while just talking and eating when three kids came in. they started to demand we tell them where Usopp was. Luffy finally finished eating and complimented the meat causing the kids to lose it.

Zoro decided to freak the kids out "Your captain, we ate him."

Well the kids freaked out and thought we really did eat him. Nami scolded us for being childish but it was all good-natured fun. They asked what time it was and told us that Usopp had gone to the mansion outside of town that he was talking about earlier.

"Why does he go there?" Luffy asked.

"He goes to lie."

They explained that he goes there to see the girl who lives in the house and tell her stories to cheer her up. Luffy decided that he wanted to ask this girl if we could have a ship and since it was the only lead on one we had I agreed. We left the bar and walked across town with the hope of getting a ship.
