Luffy had gone the way that he had been told. Finding himself in a tough spot as he tried to he quiet. Hearing a commotion going on below him. Listening for now before trying to move forward as he soon fell through the ceiling.

Nami had just finished with the two marines she had encountered. Being recognized by one of them as she took them down with ease. Being starled by the noise behind her as she turned quickly. Hidding behind some shelves.

Luffy could still see her as they both ducked at the same time. Seeing one another again from across each other before he grinned and stepped out of the shelf.

Quickly grabbing her bo staff to attack Luffy as she continued to act like she was a marine.

"Hey! Hey! Woah! Don't do that." Luffy spoke up.

"I'm putting you into custody for trespassing on a marine base." Nami spoke.

"No I'm not, if I was then so would you." Luffy spoke. "You're not a marine." He pointed out.

"Am too." Nami spoke.

"Nuh-uh. I heard everything." He spoke as he pointed up from where he had come from. "You're looking for my map."

"Your map?"

"My map to the grand line."

"That's my map and I'm not leaving without it."

"Suit yourself." Luffy spoke before walking past her as he grinned. Making his way up the stairs.

"Hey! Get back here!" She spoke up. Walking after him immediately. Making sure that the marines stayed down. Catching up to him in the hall as she grabbed the back of his shirt. "Do you have any idea what you're doing?" She asked in a whisper. Glancing around to make sure there were no real marines around them at the moment.

"I'm looking for that Morgan guy's office. The map should be in there, right?" He asked as he knew what the marines had said before they were put down by Nami. Opening the first door he saw and peaking inside.

Walking down the other end of the hall, Nami managed to spot a duo of marines coming their way. Shoving him inside before walking in as she shut the door quietly. Waiting for them to walk past as they peeked through a small opening they had available.

Luffy quietly opened the door once he noticed that they had walked past them without being caught. Peeking his head out to the side as he watched them leave the hall. Leaving the room as he grinned.

"That's your plan?" Nami asked as she glanced behind her making sure that the marines were really gone before turning back to him. "Storming into Axe-hand Morgan's office and asking him to give you the map?" She asked.

"Not exactly." Luffy spoke. "I will have to fight him for it. Why do they even call him axe-hand anyways?" He asked curiously.

"That's what you're thinking about? You are going to get us both caught if you keep stomping about the place." She huffed. Unsure what she had done to be stuck with someone like him. Finding him a bit annoying. "We need a plan."

She knew that if he continued with how he was acting that he would ruin the work she had already put into her plan of getting to the map. Stopping in her tracks when she came face to face with the person who's office they were looking for.

Luffy stopped in his tracks as well. Glancing at Morgan before his eyes trailed to his hand. A small realization coming to hand as he got his answer to his previous question of why he was called Axe-hand Morgan.

Nami felt like they were doomed. Coming face to face with the commander of the maries was something she did not intend for. Doing her best to keep up the marine act on her end. Hoping Luffy wouldn't open his mouth and spoil things.

On another side of the base Helmeppo glanced at his own portrait with the white katana that had been taken away from Zoro along with his other blades. Moving away from the painting as he moved to his mirror. Being completely naked while he did his own thing. Taking the katana out as he stood in front of his mirror.

Modeling with the katana before playing around with it as if he was attacking something. Slashing around the air of his room before being surprised by the sound of his door to his room being kicked open. His hand moving to the closest thing he could get.

A teddy bear. He had grabbed the stuffed teddy bear from on top of his drawer. Using it as the only thing that could cover his front side. Glancing at who had entered.

Zoro stood at the doorway behind Celestia. Noticing the guy's situation and how he barely had anything covering him. Raising his hand as he covered her eyes. "Don't look at him right now."

Celestia felt his hand over her eyes. "You know, jealousy is a good look on you and all but I've seen enough to know I don't want to see that." She spoke.

Zoro listened as he kept his hand over her eyes. Lifting her up before setting her outside. Moving his hand away. "I am not jealous and this won't take long."

"I know you won't." Celestia spoke softly. "Now get in there and reclaim what's ours." She patted his shoulder and shoved him back towards the room as he nodded and walked back inside to deal with him.

Zoro walked down the steps as he menacingly apprached Helmeppo. He knew how scared the guy could get with him just being there and didn't have to do much.

"Are you going to kill me?" Helmeppo asked. Cowering back from the green haired guy in front of him. Feeling the katana being taken from his hands.

"No." Zoro spoke simply. "I have something much worse in mind."

Celestia lightly played with her sleeve as she moved away from the wall and closer to the doorway. Trying to peek inside to see if he was almost done.

"I told you not to peek." Zoro spoke as he didn't have to look over to know what she was doing.

"No. You told me to stay out here. I am but it's boring out here." Celestia huffed.

"Out." Zoro spoke as he stopped what he was doing. Throwing the guy his clothes and letting him get dressed. Once he was done he walked over to the door. Grabbing her arm lightly as he was careful with her before leading her to the bed and having her sit.

"So what were you doing to him?" Celestia asked as she smiled.

"Making his life miserable with a very much needed haircut." Zoro spoke as he continued where he had left off. Cutting the rest of the hair as it was all uneven and choppy.

Celestia watched as she covered her mouth. Glancing away as she tried to hold her laughter in. "O-okay I think we got him. Let's go." She spoke as she got off the bed. Grabbing Zoro's hand and leaving the room immediately. A small laugh leaving her when they were far enough from the room.

"Got your things too by the way."

"Thanks." Celestia replied as she came to a stop. "That was genuis. I mean taking him out with a hair cut was the best part of the plan and if we could I'd say we do it all again. The look on his face was everything!"

Zoro listened to her speak as he watched her. Soft eyes compared to the narrow gaze he usually held.

"What? Do I have something on my face? Please tell me it's not his hair."

Zoro laughed at her as he couldn't take her answer seriously.

"It's not funny. Answer me." Celestia hit his shoulder.

"No. You don't have his hair on you. I was just thinking about how we used to do this back then. It feels nice. I kind of missed it."

"The great Zoro Roronoa, missing hanging out with a friend?"

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Keep up or I'm leaving you behind." Zoro spoke embarrassed as she chose to tease him.
