"I was definitely on the verge of despair, hadn't eaten in three weeks"

You hit the rubber boy's arm with your fork while drinking your juice. He hissed and looked at Zoro while holding the bruise.

"Is that all?" - He threw a few more pieces of fish into his mouth. The green-haired man stared in disbelief at the large number of empty plates near Luffy.

"How the hell do you have a bigger appetite than me?"

"He's got a black hole in his stomach. Obviously." You shrugged as you chewed your food.

"Delicious! Right, Coby?" The black-haired man turned to the guy sitting behind the counter.

"Ah, thanks for treating me too!" - The boy said looking at Rika's mother, who was cleaning the dishes with a smile.

"That's not a problem! After all, you saved the city." She smiled brightly.

"You're really amazing!" Rika agreed, with stars in her eyes, standing by your table. At these words, Luffy grinned widely.

"And then! I will become even stronger!"

"So." Zoro leaned his hand on the table to get your attention. "How many members do you have beside us? You said you were going to become the Pirate King, so you should already have enough nakama."

"Just you two," Luffy replied without hesitation.

You giggled from under the glass of juice, looking at the incredulous face of the swordsman.

"So there are only three of us and you call us pirates?" The swordsman clarified, shrugging his shoulders in disbelief.

"What's wrong?" Luffy bowed his head as he munched on the rest of the chicken. "We're strong!"

"And the ship? Where is our pirate ship?"

Seeing that Luffy was too busy eating, you rested your chin on your palm and pointed out the window. "Here it is." A soft chuckle escaped your throat as you watched the Pirate Hunter walk to the window.

"What? Is it? .." - A drop of sweat trickled down the guy's cheek.

"We'll have a big ship soon!" Luffy exclaimed, spreading his arms, "And a pirate flag! Yes!"

"God..." Zoro tapped his forehead with his hand. "And I made this guy my captain."

"Well, Luffy-san isn't good at planning things." Coby chuckled nervously and you just nodded.

"You're talking"

"Hey! Where are you going?" The little girl asked excitedly looking at you.

"On the Grand Line, obviously." You shrugged indifferently.

In surprise, Coby spat out his drink and stared at you in disbelief while wiping his face.

"But!" - You stretched out your index finger."First, we need to find a navigator, a cook, and a doctor. We can't do without them."

"Okay!" Luffy nobly decided not to argue with you and calmly munched on his ham.

Zoro shook his head and looked at the pink-haired one.

"And Coby" The guy turned to him asking "You better worry about yourself. You were a slave on Alvida's ship for 2 years. If you want to join the Marines, don't underestimate their intelligence-gathering skills."

Coby swallowed nervously, realizing the seriousness of his situation.

"Excuse me!" - Then a man in the uniform of a sentinel entered the room. Everyone in the room turned their heads in his direction at the same time.
Outside the window, one could see several of his comrades and a crowd of curious townspeople.
