I had crashed in an alley for the night after waiting for Luffy's arrival all day. Sleeping had been hard, so I was already semi-awake by the time sunlight filtered through the opening of the alley. The light creeping over the floor, and illuminating objects nearly invisible in the dark.

 Yawning, I sat up and attempted to work the stiffness out of my back. Standing up with the backpack that had served as my pillow for the night, I walked out into the light. AHH, THE LIGHT! I hissed, and retreated back into the dark alley.

Shielding my eyes, I walked out again (a little wobbly) into the streets. Today was going to be another waiting game, I could buy Zoro some food and possibly more bandages and medical supplies. I definitely knew with the crew I planned on joining they'd be a necessity.

I wandered down the street heading towards a bakery, that had been selling sandwich's yesterday. I gave him something sweet yesterday, so maybe something salty  I pondered in my head as I walked. Knowing Zoro the man would probably most appreciate a bottle of Sake, but that was far from the nutritious meal a starving man needed. Maybe a sandwich would be good for him? I paused thinking of today's food options.

"Hey, I wonder what kind of person Zoro is, if he's a good guy I'll ask him to join my crew." I snapped out of thinking, and tensed, as an excited voice shouted over the crowds.

"He's in prison cause he's obviously not!" A second voice answered the first, this one was far less relaxed and was shrill with terror.

"Shishsishi."A cheerful laugh sounded out causing my heart to nearly stop, The sounds of the town seemed to drown out and unfocus, as I looked for the source, my pulse pounding in my ears. My eyes landed on a small teen wearing a red vest, and a trademark straw hat over messy black hair.

Omg it's Luffy! My inner fangirl banged around inside her mental room, squealing as I rushed to do something productive and follow the familiar straw hat. Luffy and Coby were walking through the town, Coby fretting over every little detail, while Luffy looked happy and relaxed. His 100 megawatt smile was constant, and his joy was contagious eventually putting the fretting pinkette at ease.

I felt a little creepy stalking the two of them, yet I couldn't wipe the happy grin off my face. Seeing Luffy's scar in person, witnessing the weak and cowardly Coby in real life, was all just to exciting.

Coby was a prime example of what living in an anime could do for you. I remembered watching the Water Seven arc and spraying chips all over my room when he appeared, all hot and tall.

We made it to the wall that surrounded the prison yard where Zoro was kept. Oh crap, I never bought that sandwich. I glanced back, well Rika would be by with a rice ball soon.

"Gum Gum Rocket." A stretching sound like that of an elastic band interrupted my thoughts, I turned around and blinked, looking at the space Luffy had once occupied as Luffy and a screaming Coby shot up to the top of the wall.

I wish I could do that. Groaning and grumbling after them, I scaled the wall (manually) a little further away so I wouldn't get in the pair's way.

"If we untie that rope, he can escape, right?" Struggling up the wall, I smiled from hearing those words in real life. I had always watched the Funimation sub, since the English voice acting left much to be desired and I had to say that Mayumi Tanaka did an impressive job, the voice acting managed to capture the childish innocence of the Strawhat captain and sounded exactly the same as the Luffy in front of me.

I managed to climb to the top of the wall right as Zoro spoke,

"Hey, you guys." He paused dramatically, turning to look towards the two peering over the wall to my left with a glare, "Get lost."
