Be Mine

Thinking

Chopper and the girls, along with a past out Luffy serving as a chew toy, watch the triplets while Sanji cleans the kitchen. Chopper is distracting one of the kids while Nami sits there making sure Luffy's finger stays in place, she sighs for the millionth time. Robin hearing this looks over at her. "What's wrong?" Robin asks with a worried expression. Nami just sighs again before looking at Robin in her eyes.

"This is all my fault." Robin could see the sadness in her eyes.

"What is?" Robin asks tilting her head.

"Luka. This whole situation."

"Why do you think so?"

"If you you think about it, it is my fault. If I never set Luka and Zoro on that date we wouldn't be in this situation."

"You don't know that. Luka came up to us, remember? When we were out in the casino with Zoro trying to cheer him up and when you set up the date. We were bound to see him again."

"Wait you set up the date with Zoro?" Sanji says turning around. Nami slowly nods her head. "Why?"

"It seemed like you needed a push in the right direction, so I set the date up."

"Did Zoro know?"

"No I told him it would be a good way to get over you. Are you mad?" Nami looks at Sanji worried.

"No. You were just trying to help. Plus Zoro told me that it was a good way to get his mind off things that were going on." Sanji turns back around to finish cleaning the last of the dishes so he can move to cleaning the stove.

"But do you know why Zoro?" Chopper asks joining on the conversation.

"Well when we were at the casino, Zoro was only interested in one thing," Robin said looking at Nami who looks back. "The fighting ring." The girls said in unison. 

"Fighting ring?" Chopper looks at them curiously.

"Yeah they had a big competition with a prize if I knew I would have Luffy enter it, Zoro became so focused in it. When we asked he said he couldn't join the Colosseum that Luffy entered at Dressrosa. He wished he could enter that one and he thought if only he wasn't pregnant that time cause he would have entered this one. The fight was the only thing he was interested in and he accidentally bumped into Luka who seem to want to start a fight but Zoro ignored him and started following us but Luka wasn't having it and stopped Zoro. I don't know if Zoro did something or he knew but his threatening face turned into a friendly one and Luka continued to talk to us. Well Zoro, he ignored us and seem to follow Zoro around."

"I have the picture here," Robin reached into her pocket and took out the photo the three of them took at the casino. In the foreground center was a gambling table with Zoro sitting in the middle of it smiling well more like laughing at something someone said. Nami to his left holding her arms out bringing in the massive pile of money on the table, her eyes turned into the beri sign. Robin stood to Zoro's right sight showing a grin. A bunch of random people scattered around the table with shocked faces and in the crowd is Luka eyeing Zoro. 

"It seemed like he has an unhealthy obsession with Zoro." Chopper says pointing at Luka in the picture. Sanji put the towel down and looks at the picture. He stares down at Zoro with his big smile. It may have been only a few hours since Zoro was gone but it felt like forever. Sanji smiled a little at the picture then frowns as he sighs.

"How are we suppose to find Zoro in this town or Luka's ship, if he has one?" Sanji asks not looking away from the picture.

"I was thinking about it and it might be easier than we thought." Nami says.

"What do you mean?" Sanji, Chopper and Robin ask at the same time.

"Well if we think about it Luka is a pirate too so he has a bounty on his head too, right? Plus he's extremely good looking so much he looks more like a host than a pirate, and someone like him is definitely going to be memorable. Someone's bound to have seen him. We just need a picture with his face on it."

"Oh is that all?" Sanji asks sarcastically. 

"Well where does Zoro keep the book of bounties?" Nami ask looking around the room. Chopper hops off the chair and grabs a book and brings it to Nami who grabs it and quickly skims through it. "Ah ha, found it!" Nami shouts as she puts the books down practically slamming it down and pointing at the picture of Luka like they never seen him before. Luka smiling a very unsettling smile while covered in blood. One arm is extended as he chokes a marine in the air while looking straight at the camera. He seem to use his fists to fight as both hands are drenched in blood. The blood is splattered everywhere, and bodies of both marines and civilians are on the floor as he steps on one of them. If they weren't worried before now they are. The picture and when they met him doesn't match, it almost seemed like it was two different people. 

"So does he want to fight Zoro or something?" Chopper asks.

"I don't know but I have a really bad feeling. We need to hurry and find him." Sanji says looking over the picture. Sanji goes to finish cleaning the kitchen while Nami continues to read.

"Well this is weird."

"What?"

"Well his pirates group is called the Alpha pirates. Here's their symbol." Nami turns the book around so everyone can see, even Sanji, who stood behind the counter. The jolly roger of the Alpha pirates is just a regular skull with bones crossed behind it. On the forehead of the skull is the alpha symbol. Turning the book back around Nami continued to read. "From what is says here is that Luka is the new captain, the original captain died almost two years ago around the same time Luka got his first bounty. What?" Nami confused looks closer at the book.

"What?"

"It says that a little after he got his bounty almost all of his crew disappeared."
