You looked behind you when Luffy enters the kitchen. You look at him confused, but at the same time your happy to see him, after all you had to face Doflamingo to get him back.
“Luffy-tan?” You said, your old speech habit slipping though, you bit your lip when he looks at you confused.
“-tan?” he echoes, tilting his head to the side. You smile at him.
“It’s a thing I use to say a lot when I was younger…kinda like how Law says –ya.” You explained, he looks more confused.
“-ya?” He echoes again, you giggle at him.
“Why are you here Luffy?” You ask him and he grins at you.
“I’m here to keep an eye on you! So you don’t clumsily hurt yourself more!” He declares, putting his hands on his hips. You nearly trip over yourself while walking to the other side of the kitchen to grab some rags. You look over at him and pout.
“Luuuuffyyyy…meanie…” You whine lightly, he just giggles and runs over to you and helps you balance yourself.
“See, you need someone to help you!” He says while grabbing the rags you were reaching for. You smile at him and sigh.
“Alright alright…put some ice in those I’ll use them so I don’t have to stand at the sink…” You instruct, Luffy does as told and hands you the cold rags, you sigh contently when you put them on your burnt skin.
“I’ve been getting hurt a lot sense you three moved in. ~” You joke lightly. He gives you a slight pout before grinning.
“It’s because you’re clumsy!” He says, making you pout at him again. He just laughs at your expression before running into the living room. You followed him and see him plop down onto the couch. He grins at you and pats the area next to him.
“Let’s watch cartoons!” He cheers, grabbing the remote off the floor. You sigh at the empty space in the center of the room.
“We really need to get a new coffee table…I should call Shanks then…” You chuckle to yourself before sitting on the couch. Luffy turns on the TV and changes the channel and laughs while clapping his hands.
“Chopper Man!” He laughs while the reindeer flies around on the screen. You giggle at his reaction and lean back while holding the icy rags.
“Wish I had such a cute show like this when I was a kid…” You sigh watching the cliché plotline for the episode. Your mind wonders while Luffy gets drawn in by the show, I wonder how the other two are doing..?

Ace and Sabo bite back a scream as Kid pulls out a gun and points it at the clerks head.
“Money. Now.” He demands, a dark grin on his face. The clerk put up his hands and shook his head.
“W-we haven’t had any customers in the last few hours..! S-so the register is empty!” He says opening the metal contraption. Inside its drawers were a bit of dust and some cobwebs. Kid growls impatiently.
“You’ve had more than enough time...” He growls, putting his finger on the trigger. The shop keeper panics.
“P-please wait…” He said pointing at the shelves where Ace and Sabo were hiding.
“T-those two kids brought money with them to buy some burn cream…!” He gasps, trying to get away from the bottom of the barrel. Kid glances over in the direction of Ace and Sabo and sees them peeking around the corner.
“Oh..?” He muses, turning around and signaling to the other person who entered. Ace backs away, pulling Sabo with him. But when he was about to turn and run for it someone grabs him.
“Let me go..!” He yells kicking at the person holding him. Sabo turns around and gasps, there was a man with a mask holding Ace. The guy grabs Sabo’s arm with his other hand while holding up Ace, he then carries the two over to the counter. He drops them and Ace tries to punch him but Sabo just holds him back.
“Hey kids.” Kid says pointing over to the clerk.
“Where you about to buy something? Well, go ahead.” He says moving to the side a bit. Ace glares at the mask man as Sabo pulls out the beli and places it on the counter. The clerk stares at it, shaking violently.
“Well…?” Kid smirks while crossing his arms across his chest. The clerk hesitantly takes the money and hands Sabo the cream.
“Let’s go Ace…” Sabo says tugging at the older boy’s shirt. Ace stops glaring at the masked guy and walks over to the entrance. Both boys were about to take a step outside when they hear a gunshot. They freeze and turn around in time to see the clerk fall to the ground. Kid lets out a harsh laugh.
“Ah well he lied~ He said he had no customers in the last few hours.” He laughs while the masked man sighs.
“Kid.” He says, the red head looks at him.
“Ah right.” He says while grabbing the money, he turns to leave and sees the two boys standing there. He smirks and walks over to them.
“Your still here?” He muses, the boys jump back and run out the door leaving the red head laughing at them.
“Come on Killer, it’s been awhile sense I’ve been home. Let’s go see my old friend…” He hums walking outside, Killer follows behind him and sighs.
“The guy or the girl?” He asks earning a tsk from the red head.
“Don’t even mention him. Her. Obviously.” He answers while walking towards a set of motorcycles parks next to the entrance.
“Won’t she be surprised~…”
