Chapter 4: First Day of School

Dogra and Magra stared at the young girl happily eating her cereal that she have brought yesterday, the short man sighed as they clearly see the excitement coming out off of her...

"Boss... I don't think it's a bright idea to let her go to school..." Magra whispered making sure that the naive girl doesn't hear it "What do you mean?" Dadan asked in a gruff voice "She was almost ran by a car, five times. If me and Magra haven't been there..." Dogra hesitates in the end but he didn't need to finish, as the overweight woman paled upon realizing what would have happen if the girl did got ran by a car... All three of them glanced at the happily eating girl who was oblivious to their talk...

'If anything happens to my baby sister... I will make sure your life turn into living hell' they felt a chill ran through their spine making them shiver...

"Bye guys! I'm leaving!" before the trio can even response the door was slammed loudly, a tick mark appeared on Dadan's forehead "Why that ungrateful brat..." the other two just sighed as their boss muttered a few more curses under her breath "She's going to die" Dogra deadpanned while Magra nods to agree with him.

Luffy felt frustrated over just a very little fact... "Where is that damn place again?" she asked no one in particular, looking around to at least find a clue "Umm..." the seventeen years old turned around to look at a rather short and chubby pink-haired boy wearing a black gakuran and is also wearing a round-frame glasses that made him look like a dork.

"D-do you n-need any he-help?" the boy stuttered scared that if he said any wrong word the older girl might get angry and slap him for some unknown reason 'She's also very pretty... Baka! Now is not the time!' he silently reminded himself, Luffy being clueless to the pink-haired boy's inner debate, beamed at him with a smile "Yeah! I'm kinda lost here" she waved her arms around for emphasis making the pinkkete smile shyly "Are you new around here?" somehow the guy manage to not stutter.

"Yeah! i just moved here yesterday!" she loudly said with her large grin making the small boy blush "Oh where are my manners? I'm Coby by the way" he reached out his hand with a small shy smile on his face, Luffy blankly stared at his out stretched hand for a moment making Coby nervous again... then a bright and happy smile appeared on her face, she firmly grabbed his hand and shook it "M- Curly Luffy, nice to meet ya Coby!" the raven-heired girl said with her large grin still present, she almost said Monkey though cause for some reason her caretaker told her to use her last name 'Blah, what kind of name is Curly?' she thought, oblivious to the fact that the last name Monkey is more... whatever.

Coby either just didn't notice it or just chose to ignore the slight mistake at her name and just smiled at her, less nervous "Nice to meet you too Curly-san" Luffy just shrug "Nah, just call me Luffy" the pink-haired boy nodded "Sure Luffy-san" then silence fell on them for a moment... then Coby noticed him still holding Luffy's soft hand making his face turn red and then he quickly let go.

"Uh... s-so where ar-are you heading t-to Luffy-san?" Coby finally asked, getting a thoughtful look on the girl "Ah well... I was suppose to go to this school; Grandline High?" Coby blinked a few times "Oh, it's actually really close from here, you just have to turn right and cross this road and walk a few more blocks and there it is" he said, Luffy smiled thankfully "Thanks a lot Coby!" the pink-haired boy scratched the back of his head "It's really nothing Luffy-san" Luffy embraced him making the guy's face redder than the hair of a certain red-hair man.

The seventeen years old girl let go with a bright smile "I guess i'll see ya later Coby!" she then turned left... *BEEP!* *BEEP!* "LUFFY-SAN!"

A few scenes later...

Coby sighed, he never thought the girl he just met would so handful! But she's very nice and sweet... anyway, Luffy had almost been ran by a car more than he cared to count! "Luffy-san... please be more careful" he watched her skip while humming a soft tone like she wasn't even bothered by the fact she almost got injured or worse...

He shivered, he did not want the conscious of his new friend's death to be on the back of his mind "Um... Luffy-san... can you tell me what your address is?" the dark-haired teen turned her head to look at her friend and also stopped skipping in the process, Coby went back to being nervous again "A-ah! b-but yo-you d-d-don't h-have t-t-to te-tell m-me!" the pinkkete stuttered, his face turned red from embarrassment "I-i j-just wa-want t-t-to k-know yo-your a-address b-because..." Coby paused, his words stuck Because what? he looked down on ground avoiding to look at the pair of big brown eyes that was staring curiously at him "B-because I w-want to walk y-you to s-school..." 'to make sure you won't die' he added in his mind, but then he realized how he must have sounded 'Baka! Baka! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!' he wanted to smack himself on the head but that will only add to his embarrassment 'Now Luffy-san probably thinks i was asking her out!' if possible his face turned redder.

"Sure!" the cheery voice broke his train of thoughts making Coby look up at the raven-haired girl with wide-eyes "EH?!" the girl just grinned happily "Shishishishi you're funny Coby" said guy just continued to stare at her with wide-eyes and mouth wide open 'No, you're just weird...' after a few minutes, he finally composed himself "I'm from... Ikka apartment... St. Colubo... " Coby nodded ignoring the way Luffy seem to pause, thinking it's cause she's just new around here "A-ah, i think we should get to Grandline High faster" he started walking with his companion skipping happily again, then a thought struck Coby's mind "Luffy-san why are you going to that school anyway?" Luffy just gave him a bright smile "Oh, I enrolled there"

The middle school boy blinked a few times "Eh..?" he studied the girl in front of him... she have long dark-hair that was tied to a low pony tail, she was only a head taller than him, he only reached her shoulder but considering he's smaller than his other group age he let that be and she looked rather skinny, the raven-haired only looked around his age... maybe fourteen or fifteenth... plus she was only wearing a plain white dress shirt but and which is covered by her large pink sweater that made her look cute, she was also blue shaded jeans... whether or not she wear a belt is unknown

"Luffy-san how old are you?" Coby finally asked "Hmm? Oh, i'm seventeen... why?" she asked with her big innocent eyes staring at him curiously "N-nothing" he shook his head as he said this 'You don't act nor look like your age' the small teen thought, certainly as the girl acts like a kid.

Then Coby stopped walking again "Oh, we're here" he said before sighing in relief 'Thank god!' "Yay! Thanks Coby!" Luffy hugged him again making the pink-haired boy blush "N-no pr-problem..." he stuttered "Y-you should go inside Luffy-san, you might be late to your first period" Luffy showed him her signature grin "Yeah, see ya later Coby!" she ran towards the large gate while waving her hand at him, Coby smiled at her "Yeah... see you later..." he whispered while giving a small wave as good-bye... then he noticed his watch "AH! I'M LATE!" the pink-haired boy quickly ran at full-speed towards his school.

With Luffy...

Luffy stared at the board in front of her, it have all the whereabouts in the school... "Ah... so if i go over here, i will end of in the principle office?"she asked remembering what Sabo told her once she get to school... unfortunately no one taught her how to read maps...

A few hours later...

Luffy was leaning on the fence... somehow she ended up on the rooftop, her long black-hair flowing with the wind... she really wanted to cut it short but her family doesn't approved of it... the teen smirked an idea forming in her mind 'Well... now is the time to do whatever i want... right?' she then started shuffling in her bag looking for her prized item, when she felt the cold metal on her hand she smirked victoriously.

The teen took the scissor from her bag and started cutting the ponytail for a short-boyish styled hair, she then let go of her hair letting the wind take it away "Shishishishi! take that Sabo!"

And she never really found the principal's office that day.

On the Thousand Sunny, only Brook, Franky and Robin is present... apparently the others have something to do outside the screen, so it left the three of them alone.

Franky is working on something in his workshop with the occasional explosion here and there, Brook is playing his guitar in the crew-nest since he's on watch-duty, Robin is in the library arranging the books.

They have been like that for a while now, the lack of noise has been unnerving to the every single one of them... 'I wish Strawhat-san comes back soon...' Brook thought before noticing a small bright dot that was getting bigger by the second... "Robin-san! Franky-san! We have company!" both said person came out from their places by hearing the musician shout "What is it Brook?" the blue-haired cyborg asked while Robin was looking for 'company' that Brook said they were going to have.

The skeleton pointed to the... thing that was getting closer now, making the other two look at the same direction...

When it was finally close enough to identify; it looked like a small boat on fire... with a person also on fire standing on it... said person jumped off the small ship with his fire following and landed on the Thousands Sunny's deck making the crewmembers that was present at the moment to get in fighting stance "Who are you?" the dark-haired woman asked with her hands in a cross "Yeah! and if here to get a fight you will get a supppppeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrr-beat up from us!" Franky said with his... hand positioned in attacking mode

"I'm here to see Strawhat" the shirtless man said titling his orange cowboy hat with a polite smile on his face "If you're here to hurt our captain... i will personally not let you! over my dead body!... though i'm already dead..." the raven-haired man gave off a small chuckle and then a familiar smile replacing the polite one "You see... i'm here to fight any of you guys... nor do i want to kill any of you..." he carefully said making sure his purpose is clear.

"Then what do you want?" Robin asked still suspicious and then Franky added "And who the heck are you?" he asked while fixing his sunglasses with his other hand, the freckled young man just let his smile widen "You see, I'm Firefist and i'm Strawhat's... older brother"
