Leave Me Alone!

Chapter 5

"Let's get ready to disembark," Zoro said and they put the anchor down. That was when some creatures from the sea popped up and we all rushed to see what they were.

"Turtles?" Zoro said.

"Aren't those seals?" Luffy said.

"They look like both turtles and seals," I said.

"Kung Fu Dugongs!" Vivi suddenly said.

"If you want to come on shore, you must beat me first. Or else go back to the other shore, cowards, is what he says," Chopper translated.

"I can't sit back quietly when someone calls me a coward. Let's do it!" Usopp scoffed sounding very confident. 

"Wait, Usopp-san!" Vivi tried to stop him but he was already lying on the ground with multiple bruises and bumps on his face from getting punched by the Kung Fu Dudongs. "Kung Fu Dudongs are strong!"

I couldn't help but giggle. Usopp was a funny man. 

"But one is already winning," Nami said referring to Luffy.

"Winning is bad too!" Vivi said.

The defeated Kung Fu Dudong stood up and looked at Luffy with puppy eyes.

"Huh?" Luffy stared back in confusion.

"It's a Kung Fu Dudong rule that if someone loses, they become the winner's pupil," Vivi explained. 

"That's very martial art-ish," Zoro commented.

"The number of pupils just went up!" Vivi freaked out. 

Luffy started teaching them how to fight. I giggled at the sight, "That's kinda cute." Zoro, Sanji, and Ace heard it as they stared at Luffy in jealousy.

"Alright, let's go to Yuba!" Luffy said.

"Hold on now, are you going to bring them with us?!" Zoro shouted.

"You can't, Luffy," Nami said.

"Dudongs can't cross the desert," Vivi said but the Dudongs clinged onto Luffy with a sad look on their faces.

"I feel bad," I said staring at the Dudongs. Nami and Vivi felt the same and that's when Chopper got an idea as he bribed them with food.

We continued to walk through the desert when Vivi stopped in front of a deserted town.

"What's this?" Usopp asked.

"Is this the town of Yuba?" Luffy asked.

"No, this is Erumalu. It is also known as the City of Green," Vivi then explained what the Baroque Works did to them.

"Dance powder?" Nami said.

"You know about it, Nami?" Usopp asked.

"Yes. It is also known as rain-summoning powder," Nami continued to explain how it works.

Luffy slammed his hands together as if he remembered something, "Oh! I get it! You mean that mystery powder? I ate some a while back. It tastes really bad!"

Nami deadpanned before walking past him, "It isn't food."

"It doesn't look edible," I walked past him.

"It's for making rain," Zoro did the same.

Luffy frowned, "You think I'm lying, don't you? Hey, you guys!" Luffy continued to complain but we ignored him.

"Wouldn't something like that be perfect for this country?" Usopp said. Nami explained to him how using dance powder could have serious consequences for the neighboring country.
