Piracy? Unchanging facade in a new world!

Final Supper

"Nyahaha! Delicious, seriously good!" Luffy was stuffing his face with cartoonishly large amounts of food, credit to his strange composition. How exactly does he stretch like that? Was he born with physiology different from normal humans, perhaps it's genetic? Maybe even human experimentation?

Everyone from our ragtag bunch was merrily engorging the meal in front of us. Apparently Gaimon and the sniper had went to the trouble of catching some fish for the banquet. That along with the fresh fruits unique to the island we often foraged made for a decent meal. It was as if the previous fights hadn't occurred. Well on the surface, I think the only person clueless enough to forget all that is their captain.

"...So about that transport. Can we still take you up on that?" That was the question of the day.

Directing that question to the captain as the height of authority seems to have been a mistake, he was too absorbed in engulfing the meal to pay any attention to the words coming from my mouth.

"...Before that, there's something I have to do." Unexpectedly Gaimon begun to speak whilst standing from the log.

"..."

"I owe you an apology Taka! They were empty all along, thanks you're a good guy!" Shouting all the whilst tears threatened to erupt from the eyes almost hidden by the bushy hair and eyebrows. Attempting to kowtow but instead fell flat on his face, due to the constraints of the chest he was bonded to.

"..."

"I'm sorry for doubting you!"

"...Raise your head Gaimon. I understand why you did, it's no big deal." I truly felt that way. Whether he apologized or not didn't change my feelings on the matter, it was inconsequential.

"Yeah, I guess we also owe an apology. If it weren't for this idiot we might not have misunderstood." The navigator quietly apologized.

"Hey, what did I d-?"

"Do you even have to ask?" Both the sniper and navigator immediately pounced at the swordsman. At least they're enjoying themselves. After wrestling around with the swordsman for a bit the navigator finally turned back to me.

"That being said, yeah you guys can come along. When will you be ready for it?"

"I'm ready immediately, Gaimon?"

"...I. I don't know what to do..."

"Come with us! C'mon old guy, it'll be fun!" Probably the only thought that rummages through that head of his- fun. Just how exactly most of the proceedings on this island have been fun I'll never know...

"...I don't doubt that straw hat. But what about them? I can't just leave them."

"We'll take them with us!"

"...I appreciate that straw hat I do. But it's not that simple." It's putting the cart before the horse...
