Orange Navigator and a Clown

It's been almost 2 hours or so now that Luffy, Luna, and Zoro left shells town and soon will be sunset. They were talking, getting to know each other more.

Luffy was trying to take food that Luna was protecting while Zoro and Luna were talking about her weapons and his three sword style. Zoro was looking at her baseball bat 'It has a good feeling in the hand and it's rather heavy for a wood.' was his thoughts. There were big letters on it that said 'Good Night' and little letters which he was reading it with a face that it was saying, what he was reading's absolutely ridiculous. ''I can understand the 'good night' somehow... but, why in the hell, did you write a recipe and some song on your weapon?!'' he holds it up, shaking ''which is a baseball bat!'' She was a weirdo, he was sure of it.

She had an unimpressed face at this though, looking at him with a deadpan look on her face ''Says the guy who fights with a sword in his 'mouth' '' she said, causing Zoro to look like he was about to explode right that moment ''Besides, I didn't have anything at that time'' she added with shrug. He looked like he was about to yell at her before they heard Luffy's voice

''So these are the babies you talked about!'' Luffy said, laughing while holding the mallet in his hands. Babies, she told them, saying that those were the first weapons that she just can't let go.

''Yeah, they are-'' she turned to Luffy but cut in half as Zoro also turned to him too, only to see that Luffy was swinging the mallet and was about to hit the boat's mast, causing Luna's eyes got widen for a moment and in a second she was there, taking the hit to her right palm just before Luffy hit the mast. 'That hit could break the mallet.' Zoro thought before Luna yell at Luffy

''Don't do that! Do you want to break the little mast?!'' She hit his head with her bone hand while taking the mallet with her left hand and lean it to her shoulder. Luffy had a little pained face as he was also pouting a little. Luna was already explained about sea stones to Zoro the first time she hit Luffy while he attacked the food. He was surprised because that was looked hurt and he wasn't hurt with bullets, so he was asked and she was explained.

This time she didn't hit that hard though. ''I thought it would be funny'' he was whining while holding his head as he also averts his gaze. He was looking like a little child. Like, he had done something he shouldn't and his mother found it, so he was getting a scolding

''Break the mast? I know baseball bat is heavy and it could break it but the mallet?'' Zoro asked, even though its head was looking strong it had a rather thin handle. Luna threw it to Zoro after this, which he caught it with his free right hand. His eyes got a little widen for a second since it was as heavy as the bat. They were not that heavy though, since they were still wood, but he could tell that they were firm.

''They won't break that easily. If it was they would break it long ago.'' Zoro looks at her after this as she was starting to sit now while opening a bottle of sake also glaring at Luffy, who took a piece of meat the moment she opened the food pack. ''They are made of from Adam Wood'' Luna add after she took a gulp from the bottle

''What's Adam Wood?'' Luffy and Zoro asked at the same time, causing Luna to look at them with a sigh as she looked a little thoughtful for a moment. Unknown to them she was thinking if she should tell them or not. She decided that it's not 'that' important if they knew though. Everyone with a little research could learn this anyway so she explained ''Treasure Tree Adam. It is the strongest and highest quality type of wood found in the world.'' She had a very educative tone while she was explaining to them that it was weird to Zoro, who examines her babies at that moment. She keeps going ''They say a ship made of this wood is capable of withstanding cannonballs and gunfire quite easily, showing little wear over time. It is not completely invincible though. Even a ship like that need a good shipwright to look after them.'' she finished and took a gulp from her sake.

Luffy was looking excited after this ''Woah, so we can have a ship like that?!'' while looking like a child who wants a toy at Christmas and Zoro was also looking at her as he thought that it would be a good ship to have like that. Luna made a mysterious smile at this though, which it was a rather teasing one if one would be to asked Zoro. Holding her right index finger in front of her face, leaning forward a little, like she will give a secret while Luffy was also looking eager as he too leaned forward to listen

''The only known ship that uses this type of wood is the Oro Jackson'' She said and leaned her back, clearly saying she finished what she was going to say while she was looking so proud what she said at that moment.

However, ''Oro Jackson?'' Both Luffy and Zoro asked with tilted heads and confused looks on their faces. Blown away Luna's proud bubble as her face dropped. She was looking at them with a face that full of disappointment which made them taken back a little.

''One wants to be the Pirate King and other one want to be the Greatest Swordsman and yet...'' she said with a sigh causing Zoro a vein popped out on his forehead while Luffy was looking confused. Before they could say anything ''I don't think our ship will be made of from Adam Wood because the World Government forbade it. Saying that anyone who made a ship from it will be sentenced to death or go to the prison.'' she then adds nonchalantly ''Because Ora Jackson was the late Pirate King's ship'' She made a look that saying 'how could you not know' while she was drinking her sake.

Zoro's then made an understanding face, even if it was a little, he understands her disappointment. He didn't care in a little bit though. He was looking for Hawk-eye in the end so, in his mind, there was no need to know this kind of thing. He also finally get his answer about what Luffy told at the restaurant though. He hummed a bit 'So that's what Luffy meant when he said that she is perfect at gathering information and knows a lot.' He thought. Luffy on the other hand didn't care anything he heard after learning Pirate King's ship as he was thinking how cool it was and he was bombarding questions to Luna which she was trying to answer as much as she could.

''Ugh... I'm so hungry'' Luffy said, causing Luna to glare at him since it was his fault

She has protected the food really good but it was all gone when they woke up. She should guess though. She couldn't wait for the day Sanji will join them since Luffy was obviously eating a lot but Luna was eating a lot too. If one would be asking Luna about the people who carry the D initial she would say they eat a lot since every D she knew was eating a lot and Luffy more as he was rubber on top of that.

''Its funny that you two have absolutely no navigation skills'' Zoro said causing Luna to glare at him this time as she thought that 'is this even coming from him?'

''Why? I have always just wandering!'' Luffy said while Luna had no energy to even say something and she just keeps working on what she had been doing. She knew how to navigate even if it's a little bit... They just forgot to take a map with them when they left Shells Town and she didn't know how to get to Orange Town without a map while she also couldn't take them to another place either... ''You're like us too, wandering and capturing hunted pirates for rewards.'' Luffy keep going while Luna thought that floating was a bad meeting after all, in her mind she wasn't wandering at all

''I don't remember saying that I live completely off of rewards! I told you I was left to the sea for searching that Hawk-eye. But now, I can't find my way home...'' Zoro said as he looks up to the sky ''I had no choice but to start hunting pirates for living, Just to get a little bit for the living expenses..''

''Oh, So you're lost?'' Luffy said as it sounded like 'oh you too?'

''Shut up! You are the one who's lost!!'' Zoro yelled causing Luna to think that maybe Zoro should just make peace with himself in the end

''You both lost'' She said without looking at them as she still keeps going with her business that she was working on for a while now

''You were lost too! You were floating'' Luffy said nonchalantly, confusing Zoro

''Floating?'' he asked with his confused face but got ignored

Luna's eyebrows were twitching ''You can't call it lost! My boat was wrecked, of course, I was floating.'' She said with irritated tone since it was irritating for her to end up with this kind of situations all the damn time

''Wrecked?'' Zoro asked again and got ignored again

''You didn't know how to go home'' Luffy said stubbornly. Both of them were thinking that they wouldn't be lost this 'Who is right?' match

''My map was gone in the whirlpool and I woke up without knowing where I am, of course, I didn't know'' Luna said stubbornly too and Luffy was looking like he was going to keep going but before him, Zoro talked again

''Oh, so your boat got in some whirlpool, get wrecked so you were floating and met Luffy?'' he said, connecting the dots by himself since he was getting ignored as they were both being stubborn idiots. They both nod at this and before they keep on their argument ''What are you doing by the way?'' Zoro asked Luna, very obvious that he wanted to change the subject

''Oh!'' Luna looks up at him with a mischievous glint in her eyes ''Something'' she said basically, causing him to sweatdrop while Luffy was trying to touch the thing in Luna's hands but she slapped his hand, causing him to pout for a moment. While she kept going with her something ''We need a navigator. We cant go to the Grand Line like this. We also gonna need a ship and a cook'' Luna said while Zoro was nodding at this

''Oh right! A cook! And a musician too!'' Luffy said, counting his fingers with a happy smile on his face

''Idiot! What are you going off on?!'' Zoro yelled at him while Luna was humming. She couldn't say Zoro was wrong since with everything, a musician wasn't a priority but when she thought about Brook, she wished that they could go there right that moment since he was alone for a very, very long time.

They both lay down after this though ''Sooooo hungry'' they said at the same time as Luna also nodded

''Oh a bird!'' Zoro said

''Looks pretty tasty'' Luffy add after him

'Bird? Tasty?' Luna also thought after them as Luffy suddenly get up his feet back ''Let's eat that bird!'' he said with excited face to find something eat

Zoro ''How are you gonna eat it!'' asked from where he was still laying when Luna lifts her head to look at the bird. It's a pretty big bird even though it wasn't very clear from where they were but she thought that it would be tasty too.

''I'll go get it!'' Luffy said the moment he rocketed himself causing Luna to let a sigh. She was saying herself to calm down since this would be leading them to Nami if she remembered correctly. Zoro on the other hand was completely Luna's opposite which she couldn't really blame him. He was looking rather furious while rowing and he was yelling 'idiot' to Luffy. He was rowing pretty fast if one were to ask Luna

''Why are you sitting there so relaxed!'' Zoro yelled/asked as he turned to Luna and look at her ''What the hell are you doing anyway?!'' She was sitting there, looking like enjoying the ride as she was still playing with the colorful 'something' in her hands

''There is no way we can catch a bird like this. If you get work up with everything so easily like this, you will get old early, Zoro'' Luna said calmly as a little smile also formed on her face while she was thinking what a good breeze. Zoro wasn't in the same wave line with Luna at that moment though, in fact, if it's possible he was looking more furious but before he could say anything they heard voices from the sea and saw that two men who've looked like they were drowning but Zoro didn't stop. He actually hit them but they climbed to their boat, putting a knife on Luna's neck but she didn't even look up to them as she was still going on with her something, leaving them to Zoro since he was the one who hit them with the boat.

Zoro took care of them very easily and now was sitting beside Luna while the two men now were rowing instead of them or just Zoro. They were saying that they are from Buggy Pirates and their captain was Buggy the Clown, the devil fruit eater pirate. 'Buggy, huh? I wonder If he still remembers me...' Luna thought for a moment before she shrugs it off and listens to the story they were telling about a girl who predicted the weather and stole their boat and treasure with that trick. Hearing this, Zoro was murmuring to himself that if she would join them, making Luna smile a little.

When they were finally getting close to the island, Luna has finished her cute little masterpiece as she was said and was throwing it to air and catching it. ''You worked like crazy all morning to make a ball?'' Zoro asked while he was looking at Luna as if she was crazy. Luna though, had a mischievous smile while looking at him and she just keeps playing with her ball without giving him an answer, causing him to sigh and shake his head a little.

About 5 minutes later they were on the island. ''What's this? The village is empty?'' Zoro looked around ''I can't see anyone'' and he turned to two men as they start to tell him everything since they scared the hell of Zoro, he really had a bad reputation in the East Blue in the end. Zoro looks at Luna after he heard that all the villagers were run from Buggy Pirates ''What should we do? How do we find Luffy?'' he asked

Luna starts to walk at this, rather happily since she was jumping while walking. ''I don't know! Probably the loudest place?'' she suggested and after seconds later they heard a loud explosion voice, causing her to laugh as she pointed the place where the voice came ''There'' and with a fast pace she starts to go there

''Hey! Wait, Luna!'' Zoro yelled after her but she was already gone while thinking 'Finally food!!''

Zoro was sure that it was Luna who's got lost since he was there and she wasn't. He was going to laugh at her when he saw her ''Zoro! So you found me?'' Luffy yelled out from a cage he was in with a smile on his face

''What are you doing? First, you get caught by some bird and now you're in a cage?'' Zoro asked with a weird face as Luffy starts to laugh

''It's a pretty interesting story actually... Where is Luna?''

Zoro looked around again after this and then turned to Luffy ''I don't know, she went before me. I thought she would already be here. I think she's lost'' He shrugged like it was normal, causing Luffy to blink twice before he starts to laugh again

''I'm surprised that you didn't get lost with her too!'' He said while laughing, causing a vein popped out from Zoro's forehead

''I don't get lost!'' Zoro yelled at him which only made Luffy laugh more. While they were talking to each other, their surroundings were gaping with a shock since the infamous Pirate Hunter Zoro was there

''You're definitely Zoro... Are you aiming for my head?'' a slim blue-haired man with an appearance resembling that of a clown and a big, red nose on his face is, in fact, it was his real nose asked Zoro. He had crossbones going down his face forming an X and he also had two blue lines near both of his eyes, red lipstick and his jolly roger on his hat. He was looking rather happy and cocky as he asked to Zoro

''No,'' Zoro said with an uninterested face and voice ''I've no interest in that. I'm no longer a pirate hunter because I have quit.''

Buggy had an interest though as he also states this fact and went to attack him, which ended up with Zoro cutting him easily but it was weird to them as their captain was dead but his crew was laughing. ''Hey, Zoro! Hurry and get me outta this thing'' Luffy yelled out, getting Zoro's attention back

''Okay,'' Zoro said as he started to go towards Luffy but Buggy Pirates were laughing too much that Luffy, Zoro, and an orange-haired girl that Zoro saved when he came there were thinking what was wrong with them.

It happened at that time. Suddenly, just a single hand stabbed Zoro and a flying little black knife also stabbed the hand before it could go deeper into Zoro, pinning the hand on to the wall ''Never turn your back to the enemy, Zoro. Especially after you heard that he is a devil fruit user'' they heard Luna's voice

The orange-haired girl turned to the voice and saw the most beautiful girl she had ever seen, even though she was eating a slice of meat with a careless attitude at that moment, which made her want to sweatdrop with the situation they were in. 'She called Zoro's name' she thought as she was also questioning that if she was the second member Luffy talked about since he was said that he had two crewmembers

''Luna!'' Luffy and Zoro said at the same time. While Luffy said happily, Zoro said with a surprise as he also had slightly red cheeks, embarrassed that he easily let his guard down.

''L-L-L-LUNA!'' Buggy on the other hand was shocked as he yelled out her name. He was much louder than them so they turned to him. Almost every crew member of his was looking shocked too just like their captain.

''Oh, It's been a long time, Buggy! You look like you're having fun!'' Luna said happily while looking around and saw that they were having another party. She was waving her hand that was holding a slice of meat, making Buggy to remember the bad memories

Luffy and Zoro blinked and turned to Luna after this though. ''You guys know each other?'' Luffy asked with a tilted head

Luna turned to him with her smiling face. ''Yeah! It was about 7 or 8 months ago I think..'' She made a thoughtful face before she shrugs it off ''We met at the sea and they invited me to their party and give me food. They even gave me money!'' She laughs loudly. This was what really happened in her mind after all.

''Oh! So they are good guys?'' Luffy asked while smiling big since anyone who gives food was a good person to him as Zoro looked confused. Orange haired girl, on the other hand, was looking more shocked than anyone there as she thought 'They gave her money? How?!'

''What are you talking about?!'' Buggy exploded after he heard what she was saying. ''We didn't invite you to our party! You came out of nowhere on our ship. Join our party and eat our food!!'' He was yelling and was about to continue but she cut in before he could

''It was a good party, we told a lot of story to each other.'' She nodded happily as she took a bite from her meat. Buggy suddenly starts to nod too. He had a face like he was remembering that day while he was also smiling

''Yeah, It was a good party'' He didn't know why but he turned to Luffy and Zoro and start to tell them how a good party it was and even a couple of his crewmembers were suddenly laughing too, joining their captain as they were telling the funny things happened that day. Luffy was laughing with them too while Zoro was sweat dropping as he was also looking at them weirdly and the orange-haired girl was lost at what was going on and was about to go crazy. Then suddenly, Buggy's smile fades away and a mix of anger and upset took its place. ''But then she tricked us! She said she would show us her fun gun, makes the party more fun but it wasn't what she did!! She attacked us and handed us to the marines!! Took my bounty!!'' he said while pointing an accusing finger at her

They all turned to Luna with this while looking at her accusingly, even Luffy, expect Zoro and the orange-haired girl. Zoro, if it was possible, was more sweatdropped at this even though he was having fun. The orange-haired girl however was still in a loss, she didn't understand a thing about what was going on. One moment they were fighting then they were starting to tell stories and laughing and now, they were looking angry and upset somehow

''Luna! How could you?!'' Luffy asked with a betrayed look on his face, causing Luna to turn to him

''Calm down, captain'' She said with a smile before she turned to Buggy again with a very angelic smile on her face, looking so innocent ''You escape from the prison, right?'' She asked calmly with her smiling face and surprisingly Buggy calmed down too

''Yeah, as you can see'' He nodded with a proud face as his chest also puff up

''How could you run if I told them about your devil fruit power and that you could run away from prison very easily?'' She was looking like she had done something so good. ''I just needed the money, not your imprisonment. So even if I knew you could run I didn't tell them anything.'' She said while she was nodding happily

''Oh! So it's like that'' Luffy was looking happy too and was nodding along with her, showing that he understands. Zoro gone pale at this though, thinking how in the hell they came to this situation and how much of idiots could they be. Orange haired girl, on the other hand, was waiting for the moment she could run as she thought 'pirates!'

Buggy was happily nodding along with them too actually ''I see, so you didn't tell them...'' He was looking to understand what she was saying ''I see, so that's why we were able to run...'' Then suddenly he starts to yell with an outraged face ''Don't joke with me!!! I was waiting for my revenge!! Give me my bounty back!!!'' Then his body suddenly split parts ''Bara Bara Canon!'' His one free hand start to go towards Luna with a blade in the hand and before anyone can react to what was going on and Buggy's sudden act, Luna jumped and somersault towards the wall, taking her pitch-black little throwing knife back while she was also fighting with Buggy's hands that holding blades with her dagger as she looks at Luffy.

They look at each other for a moment and both of them had the same idea 'let's get out of here first' so Luffy yelled at Zoro which he was fighting with Buggy's men at the moment ''Zoro!! Runaway!''

Zoro turned to Luffy with the sudden 'Captain's order' ''What?'' He asked with a confused face but after they look at each other for a moment too, Zoro gets the message in the end and made a smirk. ''Okay'' He said as he turns and looks at Luna and they too have a talk with their eyes before he made his way towards Luffy while opening his path from Buggy's men

The orange-haired girl was yelling at Luffy, saying that how he could say run to them when they came there for him in the first place, not that anyone pays any attention to her yelling though. Just the moment Zoro lift the cage that Luffy was inside and was ready to, Orange haired girl suddenly felt a soft hand that grabs a hold of her hand and was start to pulling her. She immediately looks up to see who was it, scared a little that she got caught by Buggy's men, even though she knew there was no way those men could have this kind of soft hands. She was taken aback though since the white-haired girl, apparently her name was Luna, was kindly smiling to her as she was pulling her towards Zoro and Luffy.

When they were beside them she pulled out a colorful ball that looked like made of some metal parts. Luffy and Zoro recognized it immediately since she was working on it all morning but before they could say anything she murmured to herself, though three of them heard her clearly ''Good place to test it, I guess..'' as she murmured to herself while looking at the colorful ball in her hand she raised her head and look at Buggy before she suddenly throws it to him while yelling at him ''Buggy! catch!!''

Buggy ended up catching it with a stupid look on his face and start to look at what he exactly caught ''Hm? What is it?'' He asked as he looks at the colorful ball in his hands. He was about to open his mouth to say something but before he could, he heard a laughing voice like a that sounded so much of crazy children laugh that comes from a horror movie. He felt shivers down on his spine as he gets a bad feeling. Then suddenly, the voice stopped and the colorful ball exploded.

Everything happened in seconds and four of them were looking at the scene with different faces while running away. There were colorful glitters that looked like a confetti rain along with the little smoke that starts to surround the area with blue, red, and yellow colors while rising from the floor. If it wasn't the fact that it was indeed a bomb, one could say that it was beautiful and funny, though there were two people who were thinking it was funny and beautiful

Zoro, was in between made a smirk or gone pale 'So, that was a bomb?!' as he thought. He had flashbacks in his mind that she was playing with it like some kind of ball and he was somehow glad that it didn't explode accidentally on the boat. The orange-haired girl however was completely pale 'Who are these people?! We are gonna die!' She was thinking as she was also pulling along with them and wondering how she was going to run now

Luffy on the other hand was laughing as he was thinking that it was cool. To him, Luna's weapons and her fights were always funny and were good to watch since she was able to surprise him all the time. ''That looks so fun! So you were doing this all morning?'' He asked, remembering that she didn't let him touch at all.

''Yeah! I was trying to make a bomb version of my bullets for a while now!'' Luna said happily while pulling poor the clueless orange-haired girl with her at the moment ''What do you think?'' She asked with a big smile on her face causing Luffy to think that she looks excited and happy

''That was cool!! You should make some non-exploads ones too! So we can use them at the parties too'' He said with excited tone too with a big smile, making Luna nod ''I can try'' as she was smiling

''Hmm,'' Luna hummed when they were finally going away from Buggy Pirates and they were still walking. ''By the way, Luffy'' causing Luffy to turn to her while he was still sitting inside the cage ''Who is this girl?'' She asked as she holds up her hand that was holding the orange-haired girl's hand.

''You take her with you even without knowing?'' Zoro asked causing Luna to shrug

''She didn't look like she was with them'' She bluntly said as Zoro sweatdrop at this while murmuring something to himself but he turned to Luffy too

''But right, who is she?'' he asked

''She is Nami! She is our navigator!'' Luffy said with a big smile on his face causing Nami to frown at him

''I told you I won't become a pir-'' She was starting to yell at him but her yelling cut with Luna's voice

''Really!'' Luna turned to her while looking so happy and excited ''Finally, we can go somewhere without lost!'' sounding very happy while waving their still holding hands causing Nami to sweatdrop and smile nervously somehow as she also averts her eyes ''R-right'' she said, she was looking so happy that she preferred not to say anything at that moment

Luffy, who's nodding with a smile on his face all the while, suddenly made a face that he remembered something ''Talking about lost...'' He tilted his head a little with confusion ''How come you lost while even Zoro didn't?''

''Hey! I said don't get lost!'' Zoro yelled out

''Lost?'' Luna asked at the same time with Zoro. Luna glared at Zoro for a moment ''I didn't get lost!'' before she glares at Luffy this time ''Since our food mysteriously disappeared at night'' causing Luffy to avert his gazes ''I went to look for something eat'' she said with a little pout

''oh..'' Both Zoro and Luffy said lowly, not even looking at her...

They were finally arrived in front of some pet shop and decided that it was enough distance. Zoro dropped the cage and lay down on the street while he was looking so tired. Well... hunger, all that fight, the blood loss and carrying Luffy was tiring for him in the end, not that he would accept that though. Luna was also already let go of Nami's hand at some point while they were walking and she was gone in the blink of an eye.

Luna goes and sits down crosslegged beside some dog in front of the petshop ''hmm, a dog?'' She said with a tilted head, trying to remember while Luffy and Zoro also look over there

''Dog?'' Both of them asked simultaneously. Zoro lost his interest very quickly though. Luffy on the other hand was starting to poke the poor little dog and they were starting to fight somehow, causing Zoro to yell at him while Luna was trying to the pull the dog ''Luffy! what are you doing to poor thing?!'' she was saying as she was trying to save the dog

''He is the one who bites me!'' Luffy yelled out as he was trying to fight with the dog while he was still inside the cage and all the while Luna was trying to let him go and Zoro was yelling at them while saying ''What are you stupids trying to do?!''

''You are the one who poked him!'' Luna yelled back at him and after a couple of minutes later the dog let go Luffy as he has done the same and they all lay down on their backs as they talked at the same time

Luffy was saying ''stupid dog''

While Zoro was saying ''I don't have the energy for this'' after all the yelling he made he was breathless a little

Luna also adds after him ''I need more food'' after all, just a little piece of food wasn't enough for her and they still didn't have a ship so she was thinking to eat as much as she can before they set sail again since she knew until they had a ship and a cook, mysterious food disappearing at night was going to keep happening. She was starting to think that maybe she was destined to die with starvation in this life of hers with everything she lived until now

''You three... What on earth are you guys doing...?'' Nami came as she asked with a sigh ''If you just lie around here in the middle of the street Buggy will definitely find you!''

Three of them look at her ''Hey, our navigator'' they said at the same time, causing Nami to yell at them this time

''Says who?!'' she yelled/asked before she pulled out a key ''I just came to give you this'' causing them to look at her with confused faces as she throws the key in front of Luffy

''The key!! You stole the cage's key?!'' Luffy said happily as he was reaching out his hand to the key. Even though she was the reason that he was inside the cage from the first place. While Nami was talking about how she couldn't steal any of treasures and at least took the key Luna was looking at her. She was a slim young woman, she was at the same height with Luna and she had short orange hair that particularly curled strand over the left side of her face and brown eyes. She was pretty

While Luna was looking at Nami, the dog ate the key ''See, that what happens if you disturb the poor little thing.'' She murmured to herself as Luffy started to strangle and shake the poor dog while yelling that give him the key back

''Oi!! You people!!'' they all look at the voice that suddenly come out from nowhere ''Don't do anything to Shushu!!'' he yelled with anger

''Shushu?'' Luffy asked with a confuse while Luna and Zoro was looking at the old man with tilted heads

''Who are you mister?'' they asked at the same time

''I'm the Village's leader or in other words, The Chief!'' the old man declared, somehow proudly

x

Luna and Zoro were in the Chief's house since Zoro was wounded. He was wanted to lay down and take some sleep while saying that he will be fine with just that. Luna, on the other hand, told the Chief that the wound was not that deep and she will take care of it. So now, Zoro was laying on the bed while Luna was taking care of the wound. He was saying that he didn't need it but after Luna slapped his wound and told him to lay down and be quiet, he let her do it while murmuring how devilish she was, though Luna was thinking how good she was

''Is it okay to let Luffy there alone? He is in a cage, you know'' Zoro asked, causing Luna to think that like he wouldn't if she wasn't there

''It's fine. He is not alone and he will be fine'' Luna said with a smile on her face ''Alright! done.'' as she gets up with a big and satisfied smile while Zoro was murmuring thanks ''Do you want something to eat or drink?'' she asked as she starts to walk towards the old man's kitchen

''It's not your home you know'' Zoro said with a sigh before he lay down more comfortable, sleeping position ''I'm gonna sleep but if there is sake I could drink it when I woke up'' and went to sleep instantly without even waiting for an answer

After Luna found something to eat and prepare for herself she also found some sake and she went to sit on the floor beside Zoro while she starts to eat and drink. Her peace and happiness didn't last long though since the house they were in suddenly blown up

xxx

''Grr, Even my house!'' the old man Chief said with anger and sadness clear on his face while Luffy was made a shocked face

''Ahhhh!! Luna and Zoro were in there!!'' Luffy yelled out with worry and shock as they look at the houses that blown up with the cannonball. The was nothing left except rubbles while the dust was surrounded the area

''Are they dead?'' Cheif asked with sadness clear in his voice ''The kid with the waistband and the young girl with the white hair...?'' as he looks at his now destroyed house

''Hey! Luna! Zoro! Are you two still alive?!'' Luffy called out as he sounded very worried and stopped when he saw the shadows in the dust ''huh?'' he asked lowly as he looks there

''Yeah'' Luna and Zoro both say at the same time but sounding irritated somehow ''That was some bad way to wake me up'' Zoro add while holding his head as he was sitting on the floor.

Luna was still sitting beside Zoro ''Why can't I eat something peacefully, just once?'' she adds too sounding like she was complaining and she was looking very disappointed somehow while holding a bottle of sake in one hand, the only thing she saved from the explosion

''Oh!'' Luffy let out a sigh with a big smile on his face, clearly relieved ''You're alive!'' with a laugh as he starts to walk towards them. One could hear Nami's voice that saying ''And just how is it that you survived...?'' no one was listening though and she was sounding mostly to herself anyway.

Luna turned to Luffy after she looks around for a moment ''Don't kill us that easily..'' she said while Luffy was looking at her for some kind of injury, though there wasn't any he had a glint in his eyes that one could be missed very easily since there were much more happiness and relief. He holds up his hand to Luna as she takes it after giving the bottle of sake to Zoro, which he took it with a happy face. While she was trying to shake the dust on her with her free hand, she looks at Luffy with questioning eyes ''What happened?'' she asked with a tilted head

Luffy was about to answer her but before he could, Chief starts to yell out, saying that he is going to fight with Buggy all the while Nami was trying to stop him, saying that it was reckless and he would die. ''I know its reckless!!!'' he yelled as he turned towards them with his teary eyes but there was determination too. Then he turned back and start to run towards where Buggy Pirates were ''You just wait, Buggy the Clown!!''

''The Chief... was crying...'' Nami said slowly but there was a hint of sadness in her voice

Luffy let go of Luna's hand before he smiled a little ''Oh really? I didn't see anything'' he said

''For some reason, this is starting to feel more fun,'' Zoro said after Luffy with a smirk on his face and take one last gulp from the bottle in his hand.

''Sihihihi, I agree!'' Luffy said with a laugh while Luna also laugh and start to stretch her body

Nami wasn't in their wave line though ''how can you still laugh?!'' she yelled/asked with an anger that was coming from not understanding them even a little

Luffy only smiled big at her, not budged from her yelling ''Don't worry, I like that old man! I'm not going to let him die!''

''Where the hell does your confidence come from?!'' Nami yelled again with a frowned face

''Our destination is the 'Grand Line' Now we're going to steal that map again!'' Luffy turned to Nami ''Will you join us?'' Holding up his hand as he was asking ''You need the map too, don't you? And the treasure...''

''I'm not going to be a pirate'' She said before she slaps his hand ''Rather than 'partners' let's just say we're 'cooperating' Helping each other to achieve our goals!'' She adds with a smile, causing all of them to smile as they start to walk after the old man Chief

They were walking on the street, going towards to pub's roof that where Buggy is before. Luffy and Luna were walking side by side while Luffy was looking to his back ''You are going too? What about your stomach injury?!'' Nami asked as she looks at Zoro's injure

''Luna healed it already'' Zoro answered nonchalantly like he couldn't care less about it with the chance of fighting

''It's not what I had done though'' Luna also said nonchalantly, knowing that Zoro would be fine and the wound wasn't even that important. Nami was already thinking that it was a bad idea to go with them in the end while Luffy was laughing.

When the four of them finally arrived, they saw the old man Chief was struggling in Buggy's separated hand while he, himself was sitting on his so-called throne on the roof of the pub. Without losing any more time, Luffy forcibly took the hand that wrapping around the old man's throat and hold it while glaring up at Buggy ''That straw hat!'' Buggy yelled out in anger with seeing this

''I have come to beat you!'' Luffy declared as he let go of the hand which went flying back to Buggy the moment he let go of it.

While Buggy was speaking his speech that saying he will kill them, Nami turns to them ''Listen, I don't care whether you fight or not, you guys do as you wish. I'm here for the map and the treasure'' she said as she points a finger at them

''Yeah, we know'' Luna and Zoro said at the same time while smirking. Just then, the old man Chief starts to yell at them that this was his war and they should not interfere with this. He was shut up though, with Luffy knocked him down while slamming his head to the wall of the house beside them. While Luna and Zoro was saying it was a good idea, Nami was yelling at Luffy with shock and anger

Luna on the other hand was looking at Buggy. She was wondering why since she was remembering what Buggy had done here. Even though he was angry at Shanks, which was ridiculous if one were to ask Luna, he should know that the Strawhat has belonged to his old captain, so why did he do that? Why was he so happy to kill Luffy at the same place his captain died? She knew he loved his captain since he was there and crying when Gol D Roger executed. She loved Roger Pirates and was their fan but for the life of her, she didn't understand this guy at all, if anything the only thing she knew was that he was so damn lucky.

Her thought cut off with Luffy's sudden yelling voice ''...Big nose!!'' causing her to laugh with seeing their face though Buggy was the complete opposite of her as he fired a buggy cannon with outraged face

Nami runs away immediately while Zoro was yelling at Luffy to dodge as Luna was still laughing at Buggy ''Hey, Luna! Stop laughing!'' Zoro yelled at her as he was looking rather furious and was trying to pull her out of the way. Luffy used his 'Gum Gum Balloon' technique to bouncing back the cannonball. Everyone was looking so shocked and Zoro was murmuring ''Could've said something sooner'' causing Luna to pat his shoulder with an understanding smile on her face as he turns to look at her while letting go her arm ''You knew he's gonna do this?'' he asked

''Nope'' Luna shrug she smiled big ''It was obvious he was gonna do something though'' she added with a laugh while Zoro let a sigh

While Nami was living the shock of her life and was questioning Luffy as she was demanding to know what Luffy was and Luffy was somehow explaining that he ate a devil fruit and is a rubber man now, smoke from the explosion dissipated. Buggy was standing there while holding up his two men in front of him, clearly, the men he used as a shield. He throws the weird haired guy, which his name was Mohji, towards them but Luffy took care of it very easily while yelling at Buggy that he is the one he wanted to fight. Then the bike guy, Cabaji, say to Buggy that he would take care of them before jumping off from the roof. Zoro looks at Luna for a moment, his eyes were clearly saying that he wants to take care of him and understanding this, Luna just shugs like saying 'sure' as she wasn't interested anyway since she was already beat all of them long ago.

They were watching their fight without doing nothing or saying anything until Zoro get irritated and cut himself, causing Nami to start to yell at them to do something and Luna to click her tongue with anger and irritation that even Nami surprisingly stopped her yellings for a moment ''My handiwork.'' Luna said with twitching eyebrows before she let a sigh ''Now, I have to do it again..''

Which she caused Nami to yell again after she gasps in shock ''Is that what you worried?!'' Luna turned to her after this, not budged from her yelling and finding it actually funny

''Weren't you gonna steal the treasure and the map?'' Luna asked blankly, causing Nami to gasp as she remembered

''Right!'' she yelled with realization before she starts to run off ''I wish you a good fight!'' she called out as she waved her hand

''Thanks,'' Luffy said to her while Luna also smiles at her before they both turn to Zoro and keep watch his fight. When Buggy getting enough and was about to stab Zoro from his back again, Luffy stopped his hand while stepping on it as he was also yelling at Buggy to as not to interfere Zoro's fight. Luffy dealing with Buggy's hand, Zoro fight freely and it was ended after shortly also was saying that they're not thieves but pirates before he suddenly lay down on the street and told that he will sleep, causing Luna to let a sigh and go towards him. ''I will stay with Zoro and look at his injury'' She said as she looks at Luffy with a face that was saying it 'is it okay' for him.

Luffy smiled at this before he tells ''Alright, leave the rest to me'' and turn back to Buggy while Luna also turns back to Zoro and focus his injury. It wasn't a bad one but it was still needed a stitch though she didn't have anything with her right that moment so she just focused on stopping the bleeding for a moment or at least reduced it. When she heard Luffy's yelling, she turns towards them to see what's going on and saw that Buggy's hand was flying towards Luffy's hat. 'Seriously, this guy' she thought before she took one of her throwing knives and throw it to his hand, pinning it to the wall again

''I would be glad if you let go of my captain's hat, Cabin boy'' Luna said with a smile, her voice was sounding teasing at the last part though, causing Buggy's eyes to widen with fear while he was also yelling that his hand was hurting. Luffy turns to Luna, who smiles softly to him, knowing that his hat was important to him but before either of them could say anything ''Captain?'' they turn towards the voice

''You reject me when I ask you, then handed me to the marines but you joined him?!'' Buggy yelled out, looking very angry. Luna was taken aback with this though since she didn't know he was this angry at her let alone that she even thought that he cared. Well, she knew he was a revengeful guy though. She remembered the time she met with Buggy for a moment. It was around the first time that she came to East Blue and she was going back to her home after one of her business and was saw his ship. They were having a party and she could smell the delicious food so she was just joined them.

They were really had a good time and she was thinking Buggy was an actually funny guy, an idiot but funny kind. She was even told him that she knew that he was a cabin boy in the late Pirate King's crew. He was so panicked all the while Luna was having fun with him, that was when she was starting to call him a cabin boy. His crew was asked about what she means and Buggy was just panicked and said that it was a joke between them. They were even told stories to each other a little and to Luna, it was a good day, really. But she needed the money and she knew he would escape anyway

''He asked you to join him?'' Luffy asked without looking at Luna, sounding blank somehow

''Yeah'' Luna said slowly before she turns towards Buggy ''And I told you that I don't care about the treasure and I have no interest in raiding villages. Staying like this in one place is just too boring'' Luna said bluntly, causing Buggy to gasp for a moment as 'Boring' word echoed in his ears with her voice.

''Who the hell are you calling boring!?!'' He yelled at Luna before he grunts and he was about to continue but before he could he saw Nami from the corner of his eyes and suddenly he launches an attack to her while yelling that it was his treasure, causing Luna to stop him with the last minute with her dagger. She turned to Nami with a kind smile on her face

''If you're not going to fight, go hide somewhere'' Nami look at them for a moment before she runs off again while yelling thanks to Luna as Buggy was also yelling but he then made a weird and painful face, causing Luna to blink and turned to look at Luffy as Buggy start to yell out with pain

Luna wondered that if Buggy will have a child in the future after this...

With Nami stealing Buggy's body parts and tied them up with ropes, the fight was over way too quickly as Luffy flew him to the sky with 'Gum Gum Bazooka' Luna walk towards to Luffy while he was taking his straw hat from the ground and examining the scratched on it with a sad face. Even though Luna was saved from knives, the hat was still damaged since Buggy was thrown it to the ground and step on it over and over again. She pinched his cheek, causing him to raise his head and look at her. He didn't even bother to smile since she knew the story of his hat and how important it was to him, he was looking at her with his da eyes ''Don't worry, I will fix it for you'' Luna said with a soft smile on her face, causing Luffy to look at her with a slight surprise before his eyes also soften and even if its just a little he smiled too

''Thanks, Luna'' She knew it wasn't a thanks for just because she was going to fix the hat but she didn't say anything except smile at him. While they were looking at each other, Luna turned to her left side as she felt that Nami was coming, making Luffy also turn towards there

''So you are joining us?'' Luffy asked Nami and while Nami was saying that it was cooperating and she will come with them because she was thinking that she will earn a lot with them, Luna starts to walk towards Zoro. With Luffy and Nami come too, Luffy patted Zoro's head with a little force as he was trying to wake him up.

After Zoro wakes up and Luffy helps him to stand up the villagers suddenly came out from nowhere and after the funny scene with villagers and running from then afterward, they finally set sail with two boats, one was their boat and the other was Nami's, though she stole it from Buggy and had his flag on it. They said goodbye to the old man Chief and somehow the goodbye ended up with Nami trying to drown Luffy for him letting the half of the treasure to the villagers, which Luna and Zoro laugh at them a lot.

After they left with two boats, Luna was stitching Zoro's injury, which it was full of Zoro's screams that yelling 'crazy woman' or 'evil woman' all the while because Luna was angry at him that she has to do this again, very shortly after, so she didn't show any mercy at him at all and treat him rather devilishly. When she finished with Zoro, this time Luffy came to her while holding his hat with a big smile on his face. Zoro was asking Nami for some food if she had while Luna was fixing Luffy's hat as she was also lowly humming a song, which Luffy was quietly listening to her as he was looking around the sea. She was finished quickly to fix the hat since there wasn't any big damage and put it on Luffy's head, who's watching the sea, and before he could even say something to her, she turned towards Nami and asked some food too, causing Nami to yell that they were underestimating the sea, all the while Luna was laughing. She really found Nami's yellings amusing.

After a while later, Luffy saw an island and Nami was saying that it's unpopulated Island so there was no point to go there but they didn't listen to her as they suddenly start to row toward the island. Luffy was saying that maybe they will find some new crewmember while Zoro was looking at Luna from the moment they heard its an unpopulated island, thinking that it was a perfect opportunity ''What do you say?'' he asked as his hand was resting on his katana with a smirk on his face, making clear what he was asking

Luna raised an eyebrow at this for a moment, she would never back off from a challenge, so she smirks right back at him as her hand also hold her katana. Luffy, who's watching them, understand what they were talking about right away since they were looking like how his brothers looked when they wanted to spar in the past

''What about your injury?'' Luna asked while looking at his injury

''It's just a small wound, let me sleep a little and I will be fine'' Zoro said while waving his hand dismissively, not caring at all as Luna look at the Island. It was still far away ''A couple of hours then..'' he said as she looks towards the island while Zoro was also looking at the island and nod his head a little.

''Oh? You guys want to spar?'' Luffy asked, causing both of them to nod at him. They wanted to know how good they are since neither of them never saw each other in a good fight. Luna knew Zoro was good but living it was different in the end and she wanted to test herself too. Luffy had a small smile at first before turned to the island while he was still rowing ''Let's go then!'' with a big smile on his face this time

Luna smiled too before looking up at the sky as she closed her eyes and start to humming another song while Luffy was listening to her. Zoro was already asleep after he nodded at Luffy and Nami was following their boat all the while she was complaining. It was a peaceful moment.

Luna was eating a bread that Nami gave it to her while Zoro was still sleeping. Luffy and Nami went ahead since Luna told them she will wait and wake Zoro up after she ate and come to the island with him. She was giving him time as long as she could even though she knew that the injury wasn't big and not that important to Zoro but she still felt bad a little.

While she was moving towards Zoro to wake him up after she ate her food, Luffy and Nami were going to treasure hunt with Gaimon and his weird animal friends.

Luna and Zoro were looking for a good spot when they encounter with Luffy and Nami. There was also Gaimon, pear-shaped faced, green hair, and a pronounced uni-browed man. His body was irreversibly compressed into a treasure chest, leaving only his head, hands, and feet free. He had a shrub-like appearance, much to Luna's amuse, she asked ''Why there is a bush here, talking and walking?'' causing Gaimon to yell at her that he is not a bush only making Luna laugh though. After Luffy told her and Zoro what happened, which Nami was sad that there was no treasure, Luna patted his head while saying ''Sorry, Mister Bush'' with a sorry face. She was sad that the bush man's dream broken into its pieces after waiting for twenty years

''I told you I'm not a bush!'' Gaimon yelled at Luna again while he was also weirdly blushing. Luffy and Luna laugh at him while Nami let a sigh. Just then they heard Zoro's voice

''Hey, Luna! I find a good place'' he called out

''Oh?'' Luna blink before she starts to walk towards to direction where she heard his voice while others were following her ''A good place for what?'' Nami asked with confuse

''Spar!'' Luna said basically with a smile on her face

''Spar? What spar?'' she asked with her still confused face but she didn't get an answer

x

It was a good spot for a sword spar. There was an empty space center on trees that big enough for them. Luffy sits under one of the trees that weren't so close as he was giving them a spot. He was also telling to Nami and Gaimon that, Luna and Zoro were going to spar with swords, causing Nami to gasp as she was starting to say that he should stop them since Zoro was injured and Luna could get hurt but Luffy didn't listen to her, saying that they will be fine.

Luna takes off her chest hostler that holds her bullets and her rifle and puts it beside Luffy. Since it was a sword spar she didn't want them to be in her way, they would only make her slowed down and she couldn't move as freely as she wants. She told Luffy not to play with her rifle and the bullets as also threaten him that if he would, she would 'really' punch him, causing Luffy to agree right away. Her punches remembered him his grandfather in the end and that wasn't something he wanted to remember.

Luna and Zoro were finally standing on the center, both of them were looking at each other as they were also sizing each other. Zoro was only going to use his pure white katana but unsheathed the three of them the moment he saw her eyes that telling him 'Don't you dare to insult me' She too unsheathed her pitch-black katana and after a second later, with one last look they throw at each other, both of them moved forward

Luffy, not seeing a good sword fight much, was eager as he was watching. He knew Zoro was strong and his injury didn't matter much right that moment and he wasn't concerned for Luna either. Even though he didn't see her using her katana before, he had a feeling she was good with it. And, he was right. The moment their swords clashed with each other, they create a little shock wave around them. Luna had a smile and she was looking rather calm while Zoro was looking excited as there was also a little bit of nostalgia in his eyes one could miss. The moment didn't take long though, they withdrew before their swords slashed once again.

Luffy was surprised if one would be asked. Even if it wasn't that much, he saw how she fight before. He knew she was strong since she had strong punches and kicks, she was already strong in terms of pure power. She was also a good shooter from the way she used her rifle, though she wasn't using it to just shoot as he saw her that she was hitting her enemy with it 'Maybe a habit from her babies?' he thought for a moment. It wasn't those the part that surprised him though, It was how calm she looked right now. 'Is it the sword?' he thought as he looks at her carefully.

She was a wild fighter that she was even laughing while she was fighting, looking like she was having her best time and he knew she loved to fight. It wasn't that she wasn't wild right now too though. Even it was calm there was still a smile on her face and she was moving much more different from Zoro. She was jumping high, making slashes from up to down on Zoro and she was using her body in many different ways. She was looking like she was one with her sword, or she was the sword. She was also quiet. There was no sound coming from her as the only voices were the sounds of her sword made. It was elegant.

What made it wild, however, was her eyes and the power she put it in her attacks. Luffy couldn't see much, only a little moment since she was moving consistently and fast but a moment was enough. He was noticed the moment they met for the first time but her eyes were really like the ocean. And right that moment was a stormy and wild sea in her eyes

Nami on the other hand was thinking how could Luna keep up with Zoro. She knew Luna was strong. She was, after all, took care of Buggy and his crew all alone, even though she tricked them from what she understood, but it was still shocking to see it for her. From what she could say until now Luffy was an idiot but strong, not as strong as Arlong in her mind though but strong and he was a good person. Zoro wasn't exactly like the rumors said either, especially after she saw how Luna treated him and he didn't say anything besides 'crazy woman' but he was also strong. Luna, however, wasn't looking strong like them to her even though all the weapons she carried and she knew she was indeed strong but with one look she couldn't say.

She was a beautiful girl with her perfect body and beautiful face and all and she could live her life in many different ways. Apparently, she could protect herself perfectly too, so she was in wonder that why did she even become a pirate with them. It wasn't that much they met but Luna was always smiling at her and from what they talk until now she knew they were at the same age. She knew that they would be good friends but there was something in her eyes that looked like she sees her everything which made her uneasy with Luna but at the same time, there was also something familiar that made her relaxed around her.

Poor Gaimon however, not seeing a lot of people for twenty long years, was watching them in awe and having his time...

After a while later, they were looking at each other again. They were purely throwing cut at each other but both of them were unharmed, not a single cut on them since neither of them couldn't find any opening. Their swords passed an inch from their target all the time as they block every attack they try to make. And now, they were both decided on one last attack. Both of them were looking excited and happy for finding a good spar partner.

Zoro was taking his position for his last move, Oni Giri, but he was taken aback a little when he saw Luna's posture. Her knees bent a little and her left arm was open up a little too as her left palm was facing to the ground. She had revers grab on her katana and was holding it at her back and high. It was somehow looked like a scythe and he could feel the heat was rising around her too. Not much, but he could feel it.

And they moved for last time.

It was at the last move that they had ever heard a sound from Luna. It wasn't loud and wild like Zoro's but it was a tone one could call, a calm temper.

''Oni Giri''

''Eighth Circle, Mugen Jigoku''

It was fast as their swords clashed one last time but now they were standing their back against each other. It was quiet for a moment but of course, until Luffy break it. ''Woah! That was cool!!'' He came towards them excitedly ''So who win?''

''It's a draw'' Luna and Zoro both said at the same time as they turned towards Luffy, both had smiles on their face. Luffy laughs while saying it was an amazing spar while Luna was walking towards the tree and putting her hostler back and Nami was yelling at them all the while, saying that how reckless they are and what if something happened. Luna was laughing at her though, telling her to calm down but it wasn't working at all since Nami just keep yelling until she let a sigh and said ''Do what the hell you want, I don't care if you die!'' though she was looking rather cared

''Come on, let's go!'' Luffy called out happily as he starts to walk back to their little boat, eager to go for to find a new friend. While Luffy and Nami were saying goodbye to Gaimon and taking some fruits he gave them, Zoro and Luna looked at each other for a moment while both of them smirking at each other. They were already talked with their swords and both of them were happy about the result.

Zoro was remembered his old days with Kuina and how they would spar all the time and he couldn't win against her at all. After the spar with Luna, he knew she was good like he guessed but he also knew there was something with her katana that he felt and he was wondering, though he would wait for her to tell him since he also knew that she knows that he sensed.

Luna, on the other hand, was happy since Zoro was a good swordsman and she knew he would be a good spar partner for her. She had her katana for close to three years now and she didn't have much time to get better. She mostly used it to kill, not for a good fight so she wasn't that good. She also knew Zoro felt her katana and she didn't mind telling him, though she was wondering if she should tell him his katana too, she knew he would learn it in the Loguetown so she shrugs the idea.

''We should bandage the cuts'' Luna said with a smile while walking towards the boat as Zoro nodded. Though he was thinking there was no need, it was a little burning and he knew she would do it even if he said no anyway.

There was only one cut on both of them, from the last attack that each had a one horizontal, little cut on their right arm.

After they all get in the boats, they set sail once more...
