Anecdote: The Adventures of Gol D. Roger :
ROGER'S POV
I run over to the closet, pulling Rayleigh, Sunbell, and Crocus along.
Me: I need your help! We've got to clear out the closet to make a room for Lucie. But she can't know a thing!
Rayleigh: Makes sense, right?
Me: Don't mess this up.
They nod. I trust them; I'm sure she won't suspect a thing.
When I open the door and turn to ask Rayleigh to grab a broom, a huge stack of wooden crates leaning against the door collapses.
Crocus: WATCH OUT!
I get buried.
Sunbell: Huh? Where's Roger?
Rayleigh is bent over, doubled with laughter.

When the dining hall is packed, I place the plates on a large cart and push it toward the hall.
Seeing no one paying attention to me, I toss a full plate angrily in a random direction. I turn to Roger.
Me: Since no one wants to help, deal with it yourselves!
I turn to see Shanks laughing, pounding the table, as Buggy ends up with the plate right in his face.
Shanks: If you wanted to be...the clown! Bwahaha! Serves you right!
Next time, don't wink at me like that...UGH.
I take my plate and sit down in silence.
The dining hall falls into a long silence. Gaban walks over to me and sits beside me, a plate in hand.
Gaban: Excuse them...they're idiots.
Crew: Sorry...
I flash them a big smile.
Me: Next time, I'll make you each eat the floor. A little teamwork on this ship wouldn't hurt.
Breakfast ends quickly. I get up and start gathering the plates.
I see a shock of red hair coming toward me. I look at him skeptically as everyone else heads outside to start their daily tasks.
Shanks: Hey, Lucifer!
Me: What is it? Don't you have things to do?
Shanks: Yeah, but I'm here to help. A respectable man wouldn't let you do all this alone.
I give him a deadpan look, then think about the nickname he just gave me.
Me: Lucifer? Where did that come from?
Shanks: It's affectionate. Doesn't matter if you like it or not, it won't change.
Me: Mmmh...fine, tomato.
He stops with a plate in his hand.
Shanks: Where's that from?
Me: Your hair.
I smirk, nudging him lightly with my elbow.
Me: Just kidding.
I place the last plate and push the cart, but I don't hear him following. I turn, raising an eyebrow, questioning him since he's still standing there.
Me: What? What are you waiting for? Move?
He doesn't react.
Me: Hello?! Are you coming to help or what?!
He snaps out of it, a huge smile crossing his face.
Shanks: Coming!
He runs over and puts an arm around my shoulders.
