Chapter 2: the first mate and crew

Right now, Luffy and Coby were in Luffy's speedboat with questioning looks looking at the same orange-haired girl that escaped the Alvida pirates, the 3 were thinking of how they had gotten to this point.

Luffy had just introduced himself to Coby and spoke. "Can you tell me where is the treasure on her ship?" Asked Luffy to which Coby stuttered and scrambled his way to Luffy and said "Yeah sure, that's the least I can do for you, Afterall you helped me more in the last 10 minutes than anyone else in the last 2 years" he said and told him where to go in the ship.

"I can take you there" offered Coby.

Luffy was about to take the offer but suddenly tilled towards his jet boat and said "Can you instead get to my boat and get it ready to leave, the one I got here on, I would appreciate that." Asked Luffy to which Coby nodded and was wondering why he looked a bit serious.

With that, they both made their way to finish their tasks and Luffy went towards Avida's ship and Coby towards Luffy's special boat.

Luffy was now inside the ugly ship making his way towards the treasure just as Coby had instructed.

Coby was now on Luffy's boat, and saw a girl with orange hair getting ready to leave on the boat, "umm excuse me" Coby said and got her attention.

The orange-haired girl was startled when she heard the voice and snapped back and looked at Coby, it took a second for her to conclude that he was no threat to her. But who was he and why was he on her boat? "What are you doing on my boat?" she questioned.

After hearing that Coby gave her a weird look knowing that this was Luffy's boat and replied "This boat owner asked me to get her and get it ready for him".

Hearing that the girl clenched her teeth 'This boy knew the owner she couldn't steal it' then she got an idea. "hey- if we leave now this person won't know what happened it's not like he will find you and I got some cash we can share, how about it" she said giving him a wink which caused Coby to blush a bit, but Coby owed Luffy far too much to accept and replied "no, I can't do that it's Luffy's boat" he said and the girl frowned and wondered if she should knock him out and bind him she could always leave him on the dock's. but then someone appeared behind Coby.

"And just what are you doing on my boat" asked Luffy but he didn't have a kind expression that expression was... unsettling and she knew she couldn't fool him; it was in his eyes.

Flashback end

She was examining him. Luffy decided to say something, "You are staring." Said Luffy, realizing that she indeed was staring at him and blushed at being called out but quickly collected herself. She knew she could not rob this guy so she decided to make a deal. "Hey, so this is your boat, it looks amazing" she complimented.

"Thanks," said Luffy with a leveling look. "Now what are you going on my boat".

"Well, you see I was trying to escape the pirate attack and I saw this boat so I thought I could use it to escape and- "she was cut off.

"Cut the crap I know you were trying to steal the boat now tell me where is the gold?" Luffy said now with a deadpan look.

Now she was surprised when he said that and how he knew about the gold. She was thinking about a sneak attack and knocking him out then they heard it
