"So you gotta crew?" I asked sipping my apple juice.

"Yup! There's 7 of us. Me, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Nami, Chopper and Robin," he said tearing into his meat.

"Oh really? Tell me about them and then let's trade stories."

"Okay! Let's see, first Zoro joined me. He uses the 3 sword style and already has a bounty on his head!"

"You mean Roranoa Zoro? I heard he joined a pirate crew."

"Yeah that's him. Then Nami did. She's greedy when it comes to money but she's an amazing navigator! And then Usopp. A major lier but a great sniper. He's also Yasopp's son!"

"No way."

"And then Sanji, he's an amazing cook and hands out great kicks. Chopper's the ship's doctor, but he's also a blue-nosed reindeer."

"A reindeer?"

"He ate the Human-Human fruit. And not to long ago, Robin joined us. She's an archeologist and ate a Hana-Hana so she can sprout body parts whereever she wants."

"That's disturbing but so cool!"

"I know"

After that we traded adventure stories, i learned how he survived the Rainbow Mist, fought Crocidile and saved a dying country, ventured to Skypiea and saved the Sky People from a fake 'god' and so much more!

"Wow, Luffy. Sounds Like you've been busy."

"What about you? I want to hear of your adventures!"

"Well-"

"Excuse me, Ma'am, i don't mean to interupt." It was the weird bartender.

"Oh hey! Sorry about earlier." Oh crap. I'm at the pub with the weirdo pirates. Well, thank God they're gone.

"I'm going to have to ask you to leave." he said sadly.

"But, why? I saved you're place and paid for my meal! I'm paying for this one too if he doesn't eat over my limit." I jabbed my thumb toward Luffy, who wa making his way through a plate full of ribs.

"You're a dangerous criminal and I'll call the Marine's if you don't leave."

"Oh come on!" Luffy said. "We'll pay!"

"More like me," I said sighing. "Fine.We'll leave. Happy?" I stood up "Come, Luffy. We're not wanted here."

"You mean you're not wanted," he said as I dragged him out, still muching on some meat.

"Monkey," I laughed ,"You're bounty is as big as mine. If that's what they want then fine. I don't want the Marines to come and arrest me before I could go check out the island."

"Okay."

We walked down the town's street, looking at all the cool stands and only really stopping to gape at the guy breathing fire. After that, I decided I needed some goggles.

"Why?" Luffy asked as we went into an equipment store.

"'Cause I ride a waver. I stole it from some pirates some while back, and I've been using it to ship-hop all the while. Goggles would be nice, to keep the sea water from my eyes." I explained browsing the shelves for some cool goggles.

"What's ship-hopping?"

"My bike can't go far, it's just fast. So I ride to the closest ship, dock my bike a then I'm a stow-away!'

"That's actually pretty smart.'

"You think eating poisomous mushrooms is smart."

"Hey what about these!" he pulled down these black  leather goggles with tinted lense.

"Perfect." I bought them and we left the shop. "So what now?"

"I need to get back to my crew."

"Okay," I slipped the goggles over my head and let it rest around my neck.

"Where is it?"

He stopped and had a pretty serious look on his face. "I have no idea."

"Idiot" I looked down at my log pose."Well I'm good to go, so come on, you could ride the waver with me and we could ship-hop."

"Let's go! Race you to the dock!" He started running.

"Luffy! The dock is that way!" I pointed to the actual direction of the dock.

"I knew that!"

I gaped at the spot where my bike was. Instead, a frayed robe and empty sea water waited there.

"Look!" Luffy pointed to a pirate ship, with my sea bike in tow. The flag was the skull of a dog and cross-bones.

"Those bastards." I growled. "Luffy! Gum Gum Rocket!"

He nodded, "Right." He grabbed hold of two trees and pulled back, arms extending as he stepped back. I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"A little to the left. . . aaand. . . fire!" I pointed to the ship.

"Gum-Gum. . . Rocket!" He released the trees, sending us flying towards the ship at break-neck speed.

Minutes later, we were speeding along the coastline and out to sea on my waver, cries of confusion disappearing behind us like Luffy's lunch.
