Nami was sitting at the front of the boat, studying the map. Akira was hanging from the sails ropes
as Luffy came in
"Hey Nami, Akira. It's ready!" he shouted holding up a Jolly Roger
"And what is it?" Nami asked
"Our Jolly Roger. Every crew has to have one. And now we do!" He explained
"We're not a crew and you are not hanging that on my boat." She said
"Since when is it your boat? You only stole it. I think its great Luffy, its..... different" Akira said
"Thanks. Zoro, check it out." He says as Zoro walks through the door
"That's unique. Nami i think the toilets busted." Zoro said sitting next to Akira
"We don't have a toilet." She said
"Oh. Well, then something back there is leaking." With that Nami storms inside closing the door behind her.
"Great. What did you do mosshead?" Akira says turning to him
"Nothing!"
"We're taking in Water. What did you do?" She comes out upset
"I didn't do anything."
"The way you're clanging those swords around,you must've broken something."
"Hey, i have swords too you know" Akira said defending Zoro
"Yeah, but not three!" she answered
"If you're such a good thief, maybe you should've stolen a better boat." Zoro snaps back
"OK. Guys, guys crew meeting." Luffy interrupts
"Not a crew!" they all say at the same time
"We're gonna need a better ship to make it to the grand line." He continues
"Oh really, i haven't noticed." Akira says sarcastically
"A real pirate ship. Worthy of the straw hat crew."
"Wait. Straw hat crew, really?" Nami asks
"Yeah, i thought it had a nice ring to it."
"Demon hat a nice ring to it. Headgear? not scary." Zoro says
"Who says pirates have to be scary?" Luffy asks making the three shut up
"The point is. We need a new ship. Where do we get one?" He looks at the navigator
"Our closest bet is the Gecko islands. We can probably make it there before our ship sinks. Ditch this one and get a better one." she answers
"Good with a working toilet." Zoro's comment, making Akira chuckle

On the Island Zoro, Luffy and Akira are standing in front of a board full of bounty posters.
As the swordsman notices Buggy's
"You got to be kidding me. That clown was worth 15 million Berry. We should've stuffed his head in a bag and brought it with us." Zoro says annoyed looking over at Akira
"What marine would pay you that bounty anyway? You're kind of a wanted man yourself now." Luffy says whilst laying on the ground
"Hmm. Didn't think of that." Zoro answers
Luffy rolls back, standing back up
"All the more reason to get to the grand line. Fresh start."
"Right."
