The three Straw Hat Pirates were drifting along in their little boat in comfortable silence. But the silence was eventually broken by Luffy.
"I'm starving!" Luffy complained. Luffy and Zoro were sitting in the bottom of the boat while Y/N was up top watching the clouds up above them. He was lying back on the wooden rigging on top of the sail and somehow managed to balance himself there while he rested his head against the tip of the mast.
"It's funny that you have absolutely no navigation skills," Zoro commented to Luffy.
"Why?" asked Luffy, "Drifting has worked pretty well for me so far. What about you? You're supposed to be the terror of the seas!"
"I don't recall ever calling myself that," said Zoro, "I followed a pirate I was after out to sea, but I couldn't find my way back home. So I made the best of things and went after the pirates that were in the area. I had to get some money somehow..."
"So you got lost?" questioned Luffy.
"SHUT UP!" Zoro snapped, "YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO PUT IT LIKE THAT! Anyway, what kind of pirate doesn't know how to navigate? Y/N was right, at this rate we'll never make it to the Grand Line. We've got to find a Navigator as soon as possible."
"Yeah," Luffy agreed, "and a cook, and a musician..."
"THOSE CAN WAIT!" Zoro exclaimed, then he and Luffy promptly fell back on the floor of the boat. Zoro wondered what he'd gotten himself into when he agreed to join up with such a simple-minded captain.
"I'm starving," Luffy complained once again.
"Guys," Y/N addressed the other two as he climbed down from on top of the sail, and sat down in the bottom with the other two. "I have no idea where we are. I haven't navigated the East Blue in ages. We need a map or an actual Navigator."
"Didn't you say you knew where to get a chart to the Grand Line?" asked Luffy, who's short memory span was actually pretty good when it pertained to something that interested him.
"I did," Y/N answered. "When I was looking for Zoro's swords in the Marine Base I came across this thief. She was trying to steal a chart to the Grand Line, but someone already took it."
"So how do we get it?" asked Luffy.
"We need to find a pirate named Buggy the Clown," Y/N explained. "He's the one who stole the chart. He should still have it, unless the thief managed to beat us there and already stole it from him."
It was silent as Luffy and Zoro thought about what they had to do. Y/N broke the silence when he suddenly asked, "Is that a bird?" Oddly enough, he wasn't even looking up.
"Yeah! Look at that turkey!" exclaimed Luffy as he stared up at the pink bird flying above them, "It looks pretty big." Everyone paused and looked up at the bird, they no longer had any food and were really hungry, "LET'S EAT IT!" Luffy decided.
"Huh? How?" Zoro wondered.
"I'll catch it," Luffy offered as he grabbed the sides of the boat and then walked backwards, his hands stayed where they were while his arms stretched.
"Wait Luffy," Y/N interrupted. "That's not a good idea. There's a very low probability of you and that bird landing in the boat. You'll most likely end up in the water, and we all know that you can't swim."
"But I'm hungry!" Luffy complained.
"Shoot me up there, I'll catch it," Y/N suggested as he climbed back up onto the top of the sail and somehow stood balanced on the wooden rigging. "At least I can swim."
"Oh, okay," Luffy agreed. He stretched his arms upward and grabbed Y/N's shoulders then walked backwards, when he reached the end of the boat he hooked his foot on the edge and crouched down. When the bird got in position he let go and shouted, "GUM... GUM... SLINGSHOT!" SPLOING! Luffy went flying forward and up, WHAM! Luffy slammed hard into Y/N's back and launched him up into the air, THUD! Luffy dropped down onto the deck while Y/N went rocketing up towards the bird.
