Fool's Day

Chapter 1: Luffy's a fool

.

.

Luffy woke up to find his hat missing. He looked around frantically to find it. And saw a strawhat at the bottom of the stairwell.

"My hat!" He bent down to pick it up, but it didn't feel right. "No, this isn't my hat." He turned it around and a red piece of paper fell out of it, and Luffy picked it up.

"On Zoro's head." Luffy read, he looked around and caught a glimpse of a strawhat on Zoro's head and grabbed it off him knocking a rather drunk and very sleepy Zoro from his bunk.

"No... you won't take my swords... stupid marine... copy cat." Zoro mumbled in his sleep he continued to snor.

"This isn't it either!" Luffy started to wake up the rest of them and they glared in his general direction.

Usopp started to slowly open his eyes. "Could you please take your noise outside Luffy, I'm trying to sleep."

"Someone stole my hat!"

"Thief." Zoro mummered in his sleepy state on the floor.

"Really!?" Luffy turned to Zoro. "You think Nami did it." he ran as quick as he could out on deck only to see another strawhat just infront of him.

"What?" Luffy picked that one up too and from it fell another instruction.

"On the mini merry." Luffy then lifted back up the second hat he had found and shook it and hit until another piece of paper fell from that one too. "On the deck."

Luffy determined to solve this puzzle put the first hat on his head, then the second, and then the third. Frowning he proceeded to look at all the pieces of paper together. 'they are all old ripped paper bits and the each said where the next hat was. That means...'

"They're all mystery papers, and hats." he muttered slightly annoyed, but at the same time intrigued. 'Where did all these hats come from?'

Following the instructions on the paper from the third hat he made his way into the bowls of the ship where the docking system was to find the mini merry. And sure enough there was another hat waiting to be picked up. Luffy stretched out his arm and pulled the hat off its perch on the mini merry's head. He looked inside and pulled out another note.

"In the bathroom." He huffed in frustration and put his fourth hat on top of the other three. 'Where the heck is my hat?'

He ran as fast as possible back upstairs and into the bath and shower room. Only to stumble in on...

"Luffy!" Nami yanked a towel down from the hook to the side and covered herself. "Get out!"

"I came to get my hat!" Luffy dodged a bar of soap that Nami lobbed at him. "I need to get it now!"

"GET OUT!"

Luffy saw the fifth strawhat behind Nami on the window sill and stretched out and whipped it back and left the bathroom.

"Luffy! You have got to learn some mannners!" Nami yelled after him. "You should at least knock before barging into a bathroom. And what's up with the hat collection?!"

"Okay! Okay!" Luffy yelled and shut the door. 'What does this one say?'

"In the kitchen."

He jammed the fifth hat on to the top of his head and sprinted up to the kitchen only to find that Sanji had already started preparing the breakfast. "Sanji, have you...?"

"No Luffy! You can't have anything to eat yet I haven't finished making breakfast! Get lost and go play somewhere else." Sanji spun around to try and kick the door closed.

"No! I'm looking for my hat!" Luffy jumped out of the way and looked around the room. 'No hat... no hat... no hat... AH! Hat!'

"There!" he reached up to the light shining down above the main table and pulled it down.

"Careful Luffy!" Sanji told him off. "You could have pulled that thing right off! And what's up with the hat stack?"

"Yeah, yeah." Luffy waved his hand infront of him as if trying to ward off any more interruptions from Sanji, and pulled out the next piece of paper from the sixth hat.

"What's that?"

"A secret message." Luffy held it up and waved its exhistance to him. "It says... 'High in the sky.'" Luffy frowned stroking his chin again. "Mysterious?"

"Doesn't that mean that it probably is located at the highest point on the ship?"

Luffy jumped up, stuck the sixth hat he had found on his head and charged back out the door again.

Sanji shook his head in bemusement and lit a cigarette. "Crazy idiot."

Using his brilliant rubber powers Luffy sprung himself up in the air and got to the very top of the ship and sure enough there sat the seventh hat calmly swaying back and forth in the gentle breeze. If Luffy had been anyone else, they might have now been considering how long the hat might have been up there and why it hadn't blown away in the wind or the piece of paper for that matter.

Luffy pulled out the piece of paper and looked at it. "Aquarium?" 'What the hat's in the massive fish tank?'

Luffy whacked the eighth hat onto his head and jumped down to the deck, and dashed inside to look at the aquarium. Sure enough there was the ninth hat dangling in the middle of the large fish tank. Luffy rushed back up on deck and opened the hatch to the tank. After a few blind springing trials he finally got the hat and pulled it up. On this sheet of paper was a very blurry scrawl of letters that read... "Sunny's head."

Luffy smashed the soaking wet hat on top of the other eight on his head and ran over to the front of the ship. And there at last he saw his beloved hat. And at that he pulled off all the nine other hats, dropping them to the deck and put on his prized possession.

Luffy covered his hat with both his arms feeling very confused as to why someone had led him on such a wild goose chase and why anyone would have wanted to steel his hat to begin with. As he began to rearange it on his head a piece of paper fell from the ribbon of the hat.

"Happy Fool's Day." Luffy read.

"What the heck does that mean?" Luffy looked around from left to right, and pouted when he didn't see anyone for him to place the blame of his disappearing hat on. He scratched his head. 'Maybe they meant... that it was a foolish day to be happy on. Or today was a happy day for a fool. Are they making fun of me? Do they think I'm a fool?'

Luffy put his hat firmly on his head, squatted down with elbows balancing carefully on his knees, and stroked his chin in a thoughtful manner. 'So maybe everyone does think I'm a fool.' He grinned. 'Okay then I'll play a real trick on them. I'll pretend to be someone else today! Then everyone else will be a fool.'

"Heshishishishishi!" Luffy giggled away to himself, jumped up and ran downstairs.
