Hey guys! This is my first story. Its an OC story and I started to write it after I read LULU91410's 'I'm a straw hat pirate' story. I dont know if that story will ever be continue but I inspire from that story so there will prabably be things looks similar.
My character is some kind of mix with Luffy and Harley Quinn. She is also clever but at the same time she is not. She just knows too much. This is my first time writing something and I'm also not good with english, Its not even my mother language, so I hope you could understand the mistakes.
I will also change thinks a little bit since this is a OC story. Nothing big will change though. Maybe Ace but there is still time for him. I'm still thinking about that. Romance also will there. I'm thinking make Luffy a little more mature. Since I think after every thing he lived he actually is mature. Just doesnt show it or just doesnt care. Not much though, he will still be our Luffy when it cames to advanture or thinks like that.
I made some changes, hope you like it!
The Beginning
'
Reincarnation, of course... what else could it be? Still though, when you reincarnated you would have a better or worse life. I honestly dont know which one I am.
In my old life, I was an assassin but that doesnt mean that I was some girl lived in darkness and doesnt know anything. So when I reborn and saw the weird things, like snails used as a phone and the fact that my name is Grant D. Luna, I easily figured out that I'm indeed in the One piece world. It was a real shock at first. I never thought that I would be in a story let alone this world is actually exist in the first place. Though... not a story anymore, no, specially the moment I saw my little hands and noticed that I'm a baby again, it was definitely not a story. It took me a little time to understand that I born again, weirdest feeling in the world.
Still.. thank god I read the manga and watch the anime. Last time I remember they were in Wano country so I know a lot of things about this world. But since it was about strawhat pirates, not that much. Specially right now, considering the fact that who I reborn as. Why they didnt talk about underworld much?! Thats not the only thing I'm upset though. I'm also upset that I died before I learn what the hell is one piece. Oh, and now that I'm also a D. I really wonder about that too. What it's meaning? Why in the world I have to die before learn those things and reborn right into that world?
Those were the thoughts while I was crying as a baby. Not thoughts a baby should have I might say but good reason to cry anyway, right?
It's been 17 years now. She was thinking those years as she look at the mirror with her empty eyes. There was still a glint of fire in it, waiting its time, which that time was very soon now.
She thought about her family for a moment. In her previous life, she was an orphan so she was happy that she had a family here. She really loved them, against everything. Right, it wasnt a good or an easy life. It might even full of a bloodly life but she wasnt also a saint either anyway. Both of in her life, actually. She mockingly smiled at this. Wasnt this made her actually double bad?
She turned her head to the big windows that covered all big and high wall and look at the moon. Her left hands fingers involuntarily gone to her right forearm and lingered there for a moment, on the three dark letters. Right, she loved her family. It was like a fairy tale sometimes and a nightmare sometimes but she didnt care the latter as long as the first one is there.
But it was gone too. The life she loved was gone, her sun and her snow, leaving behind just a hell. A hell that she loved sometimes too but she wanted to be free from that hell. And thats why she smiled a little, she was about to completely be free from hell now. She looked at the mirror for the last time and start to walk towards to big and heavy door.
It was time...
'
She had no idea how things became like this. 'That stupid wirlpool' she thought. She was decided that she would live in Shells Town for a while, since she really wanted to see them. But it was boring for her to stay at one place like that, so she was traveling around all the time. Shells Town remained as her main home though, all her things were in there, in her little one room home.
2 days ago she heard that Roronoa Zoro was captured a week ago and she was hurrying to go there but...'that stupid wirlpool' she thought again, cursing that thing. She woke up too late to change the course and now, here she was, laying on some piece of wood, which was what left from her poor little boat. Looking at the clear morning sky and singing songs from her previous life. First song was that titanic song because it was fitting just perfect, she even felt like she was rose. But of course she couldnt get in the role much, since she was alone and sky was clear and she was absolutely not freezing. Soaking wet? Yes but not freezing.
She was looking at the sky while her left fingers start to travel on the right forearm tattoo as she start to sing that song from Jack Sparrow movie, Hoist the Colours, She didnt even know why she was singing this song though. She was thinking what a stupid way to die, again... First one was on a mission, but this? Starvation, really?! Its been almost one and half day now that she didnt eat anything! And that was the moment her not so good observation haki alerted her. She thought it was a good thing that she learned about that. Even though It was the only thing she could awakened at the moment and wasnt still so good. She heard a voice almost at the same time her observation alerted her ''Heey! You have really nice voice! Are you a musician?!'' He sounded excited. She guessed he would though, he really wanted a musician since start in the end.
Still, really?! It was not how she wanted to see him. She turned her head a little to look at him. He wasn't so far away and he was still alone on a little boat, kind of like hers. 'So he didnt meet that Coby boy yet...' she thought ''No, I'm not a musician'' As she looked at him. He was looking exactly how she though he would look. He sound a little dissapointed ''Oh, You're not? That song sounded like a pirate song. I never heard before though! What are you doing there?'' And he laughs while she looks at him with a blank face and blinks ''I'm floating'' He tittles his head ''Floating?'' She had still a blank face ''Yes, floating'' as thoguht its very obvious, which actually it was. They look at each other without saying anything and before he could say anything, she suddenly jumped from her little piece of wood.
splash!
'He will be in shells town too. So...' she start to swim towards his little boat and jumped on it with this thought
''It is a pirate song. Its from an old story about a man who is a pirate and fall in love with the sea'' She suddenly says as she start to sit down to across him. He looks excited '' Really?! There is a story like that?'' She smiles a little but one could see mischievousness in her eyes ''Yes, do you wanna hear?'' He nods furiously ''yep!'' She giggles to his childishness a little, there was also amusement in her eyes '' You see it was a long time ago...'' And so, she starts to tell the story about Davy Jones and Calipso to Monkey D. Lufy, like its some kind of a legend...
''Wahoo, that was an amazing story!'' He says with a laugh makes her laugh too. ''I know right?! But its just a story, no one knows what truly happen to Davy Jones now. Everyone says different things. Some even says there was no man like him in the beginning.'' and they start to laugh again.
Then suddenly she blinks and stops laughing. Thinking 'This is not how you start!' so she looks at him ''By the way... who are you?'' He too stop, blink twice and says with a big smile and confidence ''I'm Monkey D. Luffy. The one who will become the Pirate King!'' She thought how different to hear it personally. ''Really?'' He nods ''Really'' She smiles a little but it was a truly honest smile. ''I see, Good luck then!'' Like its possible his smile is getting bigger. ''Thanks! What about you?''
Oh, right! ''I'm Grant D. Luna, nice to meet you!'' she says while waving her hand with a smile. He smiles big and nods ''Yeah! By the way what are you?'' She blinks at this 'Eh? What does he think I am?' she looks at herself a moment...
She had mostly her mothers look. A long white hair with golden glints inside them, comes to her hips. There was also five thin french braids around her face that going to her back to join her free hair, so that her hair wouldnt in her way when she was fighting. Ocean blue eyes that one can see the sea inside them. She had just a little natural sunburn skin with a perfect body to the most. She was wearing a basic white loose, long sleeve, laced t-shirt which its sleeves was folded to her elbows and its lace was loose too and black high waisted shorts. She had blue sash with gold floral engravings that tied around her waist to hold her pitch black katana. There was also a black dagger straped in a hostler on her right mid thigh. She had an extra thin leather belt around her hips too, just under her sash, holding four black throwing knives and there was a little light blue pouch hanging from it. There was also a silver colored skeleton hand bracelet on her right hand. It was somehow heavy beacuse like the others it was made of sea stone. Not that it matters to her now though, since its been years and she was used to its heaviness.
She was wearing a white a little high heels ankle boots. (birds of prey Harley Q. boots) She also had a bullet holster cross her chest, holding her party bullets as she called it, and her rifle was hanging on the right side of her arm. On one side letters was saying Fun Gun on the other side 'De Luna' (Again like Harley Q.) There was also two little place on her chest hostlers back side, to hold her beautiful Baseball bat and mallet.( then again HQ)
She was wearing a blue diamond, dragon shaped braclet araound her left forearm and little ice blue snowflake tattoo on her left wrist. On her right forearm, tattoo with black letters was a name. Leo.
Yeap, she was still herself ''I'm human, obviously.'' tiltes her head a little with a confuse.
She knew he was stupid sometimes but not that much! And he laughs again 'Is he mocking me?!' was her thoughts as he start to talk ''Not that! I know that! I mean you have a lot of weapons! are you a pirate too?!'' He look at her weapons with a curious face.
'Ah maybe I'm the stupid?' she laughs as she tought about these 'How come I'm in this situation right now?' Luffy looked a little bit confused and curious but still had a smile. After she calm down a little from her laugh ''Ah, sorry. No, I'm not a pirate.'' makes him blinks. She couldnt blame him that he thought she might be a pirate since she was carring a lot of weapons. ''Some times I fight with pirates and bandits for their bounties since I want money.'' She starts to say and like she remembered now she also adds ''But I'm not a bounty hunter either. I'm just a normal person who needs money'' She didnt want anyone think about her as a bounty hunter even though there wasnt any special reason.
Luffy nods sagely, like he knew all along but then he looks at her suddenly with a little head tilt. ''Why do you need money that much?'' Right, not that every girl carries a lot of weapon and go after wanted persons without a reason. She would do as to have fun though..
She look at him for a moment, even thought she didnt knew him personely for a long time its not like he was someone that would go around and talk. He didnt even know about her and she wouldnt see him after Shells Town anyway. She sighs a bit and turn her gaze towards to sea. Luffy was looking at her and could see the longing in her eyes as she look at the far away to the sea.
''I wanted to see the world freely, with my own eyes'' Her left fingers involuntarily go towards to three black letters, Luffy's eyes slide there a moment as she kept looking at the sea. ''Me and my brother was promised when we were 10 years old, the same day with our mothers funeral, that we would run away from our father and everything to see the world ourselves, freely once we became seventeen'' She smiles a little at this, it was a promise he forced on her when she gave up.
She knew her story with her brother and the promise was like his a litte bit and maybe thats why the words start to come out from her mouth like this, after a long time, without a care. She felt like she knows him for a long time now, she knew he wouldnt judge and even understand her. ''You see, my family was some family from underworld and my father was someone really important there. He would do illegal things like with drugs, smuggling weapons, slavery and goes on with a lot of bad things.'' A lot actually...
''My brother was supposed to take over at seventeen and I would support them. He would send me a lot of missions for me to learn.'' she smiles a little after saying that ''a perfect weapon and sheild. That was what he wanted to me to become'' she sigh at this as she still look at the sea. Luffy, unusually listens her quietly as he didnt like it. It was okay for her though, her mother and brother was there for her and she wasnt a saint or something, she would never deny that. She frowns a little as she thought about her father though and her right hand goes to her left and to feel the bracelet. With a relief she didnt show on her face but couldnt hide in her eyes, her hand next slides her little ice-blue snowflake tattoo.
She smiles a little ''Well, my mother was an amazing person though. She would tell us a lot of stories about the world and read books with us.'' and she had a very beautiful voice like fairies.. ''She would always said that 'Like how every snowflake different from each other, humans are also a lot of like them.' '' She was right, like always. No matter what, one couldnt find a person with same. As she never turns away from the sea, she finally turns to Luffy, like finished her story but Luffy was keep looking at her with intense gazes. He knew there is more, she was alone now, not with her brother. Luna was thinking, maybe he was thinking about his own past though as he didnt said anything except waiting for her to keep going. She sighs and turns to the sea, she was looking far away again but one could see that her eyes look liked a clouded sea. Like a sea that waiting for a storm to come.
''We were fifteen. He was sent to a mission and never came back. My father said he was killed and I didnt belive it at first and wait for him but..'' she stops herself and sigh as she start to keep going ''It took me months to even do something and after a year later or so I left for a revenge. Thought that was the only way I could move on. '' She smiles a little as she thought how really weird faith it is. She didnt moved on with revenge, the things and persons she met on her way was the reason she moved on. ''For a long time, I thought about run away and keep my promise but I knew that as long as my father was alive I would never be able to truly free. I knew he would come after me.'' Her eyes turned more bright ''So once I became seventeen, I killed him. Destroyed everything and everyone there and go far away.'' she smiled at this with a reliefed glint in her eyes ''It's been a year now. I couldnt decide to what should I do and thought about had some fun and save some money until the right time comes and leave to keep my promise.'' she says as she finally turns to Luffy with a smile on her face ''Once one promised to something they should keep it right? Dreams and promises are important!''
Luffy doesnt say anything as he just keep looking at her. She couldnt say though since his eyes were shadowed with his hat. 'Is it that? HE FALL ASLEEP?!' She thought and was thinking yelling at him but he suddenly hugged her, causing her to decide to yell at him but before she could ''You are crying'' she hears, somewhat it was gently. ''eh?'' her voice was so low that even Luffy heard it lowly. She didnt noticed that she was crying. Right, when was the last time she cried anyway? She didnt remember when was it or why was it. Was she even cried? But.. It was so relaxing right now. For the first time, she was crying in such a manner, was this even okay?
Like he read her mind, he says with a soft voice that she thought she whould never heard ''It's okay'' Like it was the permission she waited that tears suddenly started to flow down on her face. There was no voice coming from her as the tears flow but her body shaked just a little and his hug tightened at this more. He didnt say anything and she wouldnt want him to say. They stay like this a while, it wasnt more than a five minutes but they felt like they had been hugging for much longer. Her head was burried on his neck as she thought that it was surprising that he smells a lot like the sea while Luffys one hands running through her hair that it was so much soft and silky. As she start to raise her head slowly he also loosened his hold and finally let her go completely. She was looking down, like doesnt want anyone to see her like this while trying to getting off the wetness on her cheeks and eyes. She hated to be seen weak ''It wasnt a story one wants hear early in the morning, sorry'' She says causing Luffy to avert his gaze as he couldnt look at her at the moment like this. ''Its okay'' says again with soft and quiet voice
After a couple of minutes later, she came back to her old self, like nothing happened in the beginning. Luffy also act like that. But before she could even say anything Luffy's hands were suddenly on her shoulders, looking at her with a big smile and she chould see a glint of determination in his eyes. There was also a glint she couldnt put a finger on it but she was so surprised from this sudden act she ignored it.
''I decided. Join my crew!'' He says, loud and clear with a big smile. Luna blinks a few times at this and then she start to laugh. Long and hard, like she wasnt laughing for a while now. She never thought she would hear this in the end. She knew that it would be fun to be a strawhat. They were funny, going on adventures and they were all a little bit a crazy, even the most normal ones. But, even if she wanted she was anxious when she think about her presence might change things. Luffy have to be the Pirate King in the end and what if something happens and things starts to change.
After she calm down from her laugh, even though her deep thoughts, she look at his confused face with a tilted head. ''Are you out of your mind? I'm telling you I was some kind of an assassin. I did a lot of horrible things and killed a lof of people. Even though pirates are no better, I can tell you are a good person. I cant be on your crew.''
Luffy was lookig angry after hearing these words. ''Your past doesnt matter! You want to see the world freely and go to the adventures right?! Of course you should join my crew!'' She knew her reason was weak to someone like him. He was a good person and pretty damn stubborn, he wouldnt care about past and look at the present and future. She mentally smiles a little but outside, two of them was staring at each other living a glance war without any emotion on their face. She was a little surprised even though she didnt show it. He was a childish person, who do whatever he wants. While thinking his past she knew he can make this kind of face though. From what she remembered, he always had moments too. He might be a childish but he was also mature with everything he lived. He probably doesnt show it or thinks its unnecessary.
After a while later, she closed her eyes with a sigh. ''I never think about becoming a pirate before.'' She opens her eyes and look at him in the eye with a serious face. He was also looking back with a same serious face too. She doesnt know but with Luffy being so damn stubborn she needed to time to think, so ''I was going to Shells Town before my boat get in some stupid wirlpool and get wrecked. I mostly live there and I have to go back to my home, so if you want me to be in your crew, I will decide there. Deal?'' She was so proud of self right now that she was mentally patting herself. She could just disappear in there or think carefully until go there. There was also Zoro too, the first mate.
Luffy smiles really big, like she already said yes. She was in his head though. ''Alright, Its a deal! Lets go to the shells town and you will be joining to me!'' He starts to celebrate causing Luna's eyebrowns twich. ''I didnt say I will join! I said I will decide there'' Luffy keeps his laughs though. She sighs again and relax her sit. She suddenly remembers that she was dying. ''Hey, do you have anything to eat?'' Luffy stop his laughs and looks at Luna with a blank face at first then starts to panic ''Ah, I forget! My food was over about 3 hours ago or so!'' He looks so down while he holds his stomach. ''I'm so hungry'' and a big growl. She thought for a moment that maybe she shouldnt ask but.. ''I sould be the one saying that! I didnt eat any thing for almost one and half day now! I'm the one who is hungry!'' He looks up to her and blinks the most inocent way, makes Luna to feel like she just killed a little puppy. She sighs and let her anger fly away and talk with a calm voice ''Whatever, I'm sure we will find something eat soon.'' and Luffy smiles brightly.
''Do you know how to go there?'' This time Luna blinks 'He is a lost cause' was her thoughts ''I have a compass'' She reaches her long chained necklace, which it was a compass, while saying that and look at it for a while. She would never admit it but she too was so bad when it comes to find the directions. Not as bad as Zoro though she doesnt think anyone can be like that. ''But I dont have a map.'' She looks around for a bit while blinking ''..and I have no idea where are we.'' She turns to Luffy ''I dont know how to go!'' They look at each other for a second and start to laugh and decide to go where waves make them go.
They talk more while sailing, tell each other storys. She also explained to him her weapons, more like sea stones, and her bullets and rifle. Luffy loved the idea of her party bullets which she knew he would. 'Who wouldnt?' Luffy wanted to see and Luna said no way she could showed him here, which ended up him trying the pull her rifle and Luna hit him with her right bone hand. He had tears in his eyes, looking terrified and asks her how she knows about the 'fist of love' which Luna was in confusion at first to this, so she asked him what is fist of love which lead them a little talk about Luffy's monster grandfather, he didnt tell who though. This made Luna remember fist of love while shaking her head in her mind. That was the time she explained him about sea stones.
He was also confused when she told him her other two weapons. He asked why she uses babies as a weapon and looked even more shocked that she had babies in the first place. She accepted that it was her fault since the first thing she said about them was 'I have also my babies...' It took a little while to explain to him but he understood in the end. He laugh long and hard while saying that he should know and wanted to see them too.
Along the way, he start to tell her the story about Shanks. She already knew most of it but not everything and listening from first hand was absolutely different. ''I was heard that Red-haired Shanks came to east blue but... So this is where his hat gone. People say that when he came back to the Grand Line everyone was shocked that he lost his trade mark hat and one arm.'' She might be lost in the story too much because her voice is somehow sounded like in awe. She knew about Shanks and how a big pirate he is now but Luffy wasnt told her about his lost arm. He only said that, he saved his life. She felt guilty. Thinking that maybe she souldnt say this as she saw his sad smile. 'Shit, I'm a very bad person! What should I do? Should I hug too?' While she had those thoughts in her mind and having a battle, Luffy's sadness was already gone and turn into excited one. He, in the end, always bounce back fast.
''Voah! You know about Shanks?!'' He ask with an excited but then again turn into sad. No, somber? ''He lost his arm when he saved me, but like I said thats why I promised to him!'' He says happily makes her smile too ''I see'' there was a calm air around them a little moment but it gone away the next ''Of course I know about Shanks. He is one of the Four Emperors!'' she suddenly felt insulted so that was probably why her voice was a little more louder and startled Luffy, who didnt waiting this. Looking like a little puppy, with his big inocent eyes ''Whats Four Emperors?'' and again she sighs. Of couse he doesnt know, she should knew, Its still early. But normal people still knew so, she decided to tell him, with a calm but educative tone in her voice
''Four Emperors, also knowns as yonko, are the most notorious and powerful pirate captains in the world. Kaido of the Beasts, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, The most strongest man in the world Whitebeard Edward Newgate and Read-Haired Shanks. This four pirates lives in the second half of the Grand Line also known as the New World and rule there.'' Luffy was looking overly excited. He had stars in his eyes and a smile way too big. ''Voah Luna! You know a lot and you are so smart! Like I thought, you really should join my crew!'' Her eyebrown was twiching again but her voice remain calm ''You should know at least this much too if you want to become a Pirate King, you know. Information is a important power. You should know about the people you had a chance to cross the roads or it could be your destruction.'' A somber thought comes to her mind suddenly. Like Kuma or Admirals but she shove it away instantly ''Its not like I know everything but I still keep up with the world. You should do that too.'' Luffy laughs, again
''It's fine! You would be there, so I dont need to do it!'' says while still laughing, much to Luna's annoyance ''I told you I didnt say yes'' and he keeps going his lauhing, like she already joined and he knows and she doesnt. 'Maybe I should just run away... ' she thoughts but then she I blinks and get up on her feet so fast that Luffy stops laughing and look at her curiously ''What?'' He asks. Luna point the whirlpool with some kind of angry face ''Thats the stupid whirpool that wrecked my boat!'' And then her brain starts to work again as she thought 'Right, Coby! Ship! Food!'
Luffy look at it and laughed ''How come there is this thing with such a good weather?'' She turns her head to him looking blankly ''I dont know.'' she says. Luffy suddenly get up to his feet too and opens the barrel and jumps in ''Come on, it should be fine if we are in this!'' says with another laugh. He looks like he doesnt even care. ''No way we both fit it in!'' She says then smirks evily. She knew they might meet again but maybe they wont and even if she would be a little sad about it, she can handle it! ''You get in, I will swim!'' She cracks some piece from the boat, about half her size, for future support as she said that.
She turns to him with a big smile on her face but one can see the mischievousness in her eyes ''If its in the faith I'm sure we will meet again and you know where to find me!'' she winks at him shortly and start to get ready to jump. Luffy on the other hand, was frozen. ''You should get in that before its too late and die!'' She says last time and jumps into the sea before they would enter that monstrous wirlpool and start swimming. 'How in the end did I survived that thing anyway?' was her thoughts as she swim away. She could also hear his voice ''Eeehhhh?!'' she laugh loudly at this.
'
Coby was in shock when he heard what the strawhat wearing boy said, who currently eats meat. He, in the end, thoguht he could never escape from here. He couldnt even dare. He was about to open his mouth and say something before the cell cracked and some pirate fell. Yells start to fill the room ''That girl is crazy!'' ''Why is she suddenly attacking us!''
He was wondering, in fear, what is going on when he heard the voice of the boy, who said his name is Luffy. ''Hmm? Whats going on?'' and starts to go up to the deck, with meat in his hands ''Ah! Wait Luffy-san!'' He tries to stop him but fails miserably. So having no chance and also in wonder whats going on, he follows him, cowardly if one may say. When they were finally up, Coby looks at scene with awe. Luffy wasnt that much of a different as he had stars in his eyes ''Vohhha! So this is the party bullets and the fun gun!'' He laughs while watching.
Pirates were all over the deck, either trying to fight or run or simply doing nothing except looking horrified. A fat woman was looking angry while watching though.
There was a girl, a very beautiful one if one might say. Was fightining with pirates as she fired her rifle. When the bullets hits their target, colorful smokes was rising, like powder bombs, blue and red. There was also some kind of gillitter thing like confetti and paint. It truly looked like someone having a hard part, specially with her laugh as she fight them. She was also puching and kicking them as she reload her rifle. She was deflecting the bullets that shoted at her with her right bone hand and she was even hitting them with her rifle. One look was enough to say that she wasnt even using her full strench, she mostly looked like she was toying with them and having fun.
She was looking both gracious and wild. Some might say that she was looking like crazy as she was having so much fun and laughing. She didnt know about that and probably wouldnt even care if she knew anyway.
Luffy for his side, looking like he always looked when he saw something cool but there was some glint in his eyes even he didnt know about it. ''Luna! So you came after me in the end?!'' He says while looking so happy. Luna turns to him after she finished the last man who attacked her. Only the cowards and Alvida was left. She thought that they would come across again and she was thinking to ditch him but she was hungry. So she just said, witout a lie.
''No, I only came bacause I heard the voices and thought that they would had some food and asked them but they suddenly attacked me. Arent they rude?'' She asks with a tilted head. ''Oh! Thats so rude!'' Luffy nods sagely, food was important in the end and he didnt look like he was taken aback by the fact that she didnt came for him.
Like this conversation right now was the most important thing, they ignored everyone, causing Coby's awe turn into something else as he was looking at them like they were crazy, with big bulge eyes. He was shocked to the core to what's going on right now. First a boy comes from a wine barrel says the things he will be remembering for the rest of his life and starts to eat meat there. Then a girl comes, starts to attacked them because some kind of thing about food. Doing the thing what Coby wanted to do most, all the while looking like she was having her best time. Like it wasnt shocking enough, somehow those two were knew eachother too, apparently. 'He said he will become Pirate King and he is indeed a pirate, so she is a pirate too?' was Coby's thoughts while living an inner shock.
Luna's eyes traveled to Luffy's hands. ''There is still left from food, right?'' Her voice was suddenly cold, causing Luffy to gulp a little and nod his head slowly. He knew she was hungry and glad he didnt eat everything. So he let a sigh in relief when he saw that her anger is gone and smiled happily as she start to go where they came from, while yelling at him ''Then I'm leaving the rest to you!''
He laughs and yells back ''Okay!''
After her gone an angry yell could heard ''Who was that little bitch?! Coby! Who is that boy?'' She then look at Luffy from toe to the head and asks ''Are you Roronoa Zoro? The Pirate Hunter? Did you finally come for my head?'' Luffy for his part looking confused for a second ''Zoro?'' then smiles brigtly ''Nope, I'm Monkey D. Luffy!''
I could hear the voices up on the deck but right now, I could careless about it. Alvida was Luffy's to punch and god! Finally some food. I was eating some food while at the same time packed some too. I also opened same sake and start to drink it and put a couple of bottles in pack too. I always loved alcohol. I dont think I had the same stamia like Zoro but man, I could drink.
I was going back to deck when I heard Luffy's yelling, should be ended now.. There was an apple as a desert in my right hand, munching while I was walking. I was also carying a packed food on my left shoulder. When I finally come up, pirates were running around to prepear a boat. Marnies was getting close too. Luffy turns to me as I walk up to them. His smile gets bigger when he saw the rest of the food. ''Luna! Did you take more food with you?''
I smile right back to him ''Yeah, so see you!'' I walk pass to him to go towards my litte piece of wood until suddenly an arm wraps around my waist twice and pulls me while his other arm is holding Coby. He jumped and landed on the boat as graciously as it can be and put me slowly and gently, which it was a way i didnt expect from him. As we landed, we start to set sail with our another little boat. ''So, who is this kid?'' I asked while drinking my sake after we get away from there. When I look at Coby the only thing I could say was that, Garp really do wonders.
Luffy was eating a meat ''He is Coby, wants to be a marine.'' he says as he took a bite, I nod while turning to look at Coby. He looks like I'm about to punch him and tell him its imposibble, poor kid... ''I see. Good luck, kid. I'm Luna by the way.'' He looks shocked that I said that easily. Not that I care much though.
He finally talks to me while he looking shy somehow ''Um.. Thank you. It was always my dream to become a marine'' he admits with a little force. I smile at him ''Well, if its your dream you should make it true'' He looks at me with a happy face nod a lot, then suddenly asks ''Are you a pirate too Luna-san? since you know Luffy-san...'' Luffy and I both answer this at the same time. While I saying ''No!'' He says ''Yes!'' We both look at each other, rahter irritated.
Luffy turns to Coby and smiles, like he is in the middle of some kind of meditation, looks so relaxed ''She is in my crew'' says with a calm tone, then smiles like he found that dream island. The island made of meat. This only makes me more irritated though. So this time I turn to Coby, trying to put my most angelic look as I imagine my self on some cloud, relaxing and sleeping. ''I told him I would think about it but I still didnt say yes, I can say no either.'' and I smile like I finally step in Big Mom's territory. Those delicious islands...
Coby look between us repeatedly. Poor kid probably doesnt know what to say, so he probably says the first thing he could think of it ''But... Luffy-san if you are looking for the 'One Piece' um.. that means you have to get into the 'Grand Line' right?'' Luffy smiles big ''Yeap!''
''But that place is known as the pirates graveyard.'' Coby says with a worry clear in his voice.
''Yeah, thats why I need a strong crew. Luna is already here and...'' I sigh but dont have the energy to fight right now so I just keep drink my sake, which was almost ending, while glaring at Luffy which he ignores me constantly right now. ''...and one of them is being held captive at place we're going'' Coby gasps ''You mean... Roronoa Zoro?'' Luffy says with a smile ''If he is a good guy, I'd ask him to join me!'' and laughs, his laughs only gets louder with every word from Coby that saying its impossible. He explains how Zoro is a demon. Luffy doesnt seems like he bothers and keeps laughing though.
Coby looks like he could gone crazy at any moment and turns to me with this hopeful and helpness eyes. ''Please, at least you say something, Luna-san.'' Luffy too turns to me with a smile that never goes ''Right! You know about Zoro, Luna?''
I think about a moment what should I say. I mean I know the guy so well, yes. But what should say? Better say things from this life of mine, so while looking at the sky ''I heard the same things Coby said but those are just rumors. You could never know about if they are true or not. If you want to know someone you should just go and see yourself.'' Then I turn to Coby with a serious face ''The world is not always black and white, Coby. You should never judge a person with just what you heard about them. You should be able use your own eyes to see the world and then decide on your own'' I turn back to the sky, my eyes was about to close. I was tired a little and didnt want to talk anymore. It shouldnt take long to go there now, since Coby is here.
Coby looked like confused. I knew he was still naive, he should see it himself. I know he will be a good marine in the future.
Just before my eyes closed I saw Luffy momently. Our eyes met a second, there was some kind of understanding and something I dont know what it is. He also had a soft smile and that was the last thing I saw before go to my little nap.
A voice comes to my ears and a hand gently pokes my cheeks ''Luna'' I slowly open my eyes only to meet deep black holes that stops my mind for a moment. It was probably just two seconds or so but it felt like we look at each other eyes for a very long time. Then suddenly, like we agreed, both of us pulled back. I sit up propely and he gets up to his feet while holding up his hand, waiting for me to take it and get up which I did. ''So, we finally came?''
He helps me to get up while looking at the town ''Yeah!'' Then turns to me with his usual big smile ''Lets go and find this Zoro guy'' and I smile too. I was wondering and wanted to see Zoro too. My brother was so much like him sometimes, not showing but a big softy in the heart. So, the three of us starting to walk through the street. ''Oh, Luna so you finallly come back?'' The old fruit seller gramps asks, makes me smile kindly to him. ''Yeah, I just come back'' He gives me an apple, like he always did whenever he saw me. I take it with a smile, never reject the food.
This is also the time Luffy decide to butt in ''Oh old man you know Luna? Thats good then, can you tell me where to find Zoro?'' All the while smiling. He was about the take an apple but I give mine before he had. He takes and smiles like saying thanks, he too would never reject the food. He bites the apple when he finishes his question. Everyone looks scared and shocked that I really had a hard time to hold back my laughter. Luffy on the other hand looks confused and Coby starts to pull him, looking confident that Zoro is a taboo name and problably done something bad. I sigh and start to follow them while waving my hand to old man.
''I heard this town is under the protection of Axe Hand Morgan'' Again the funny reaction. This time Luffy laughs saying what a weird town and Cobly looks confused this time. ''I understand about Zoro but why are they reacting to Morgan like this too?'' I put hand on his head and ruffle his hair a little while smiling sadly but knowingly. He look up to me with his still confused eyes at first but then like he understands what I'm trying to say, he had a little determined glint in his eyes.
''I cant believe I'm finally here. After all that time with Alvida... Finally, Thank you Luffy-san, Luna-san!'' Poor kid turns to us with happy eyes but we're no more there.
We both looking at the wall and start to climb. ''Wait what are you two doing?!'' yelling and run towards us. We look at him dead in the eye ''Climbing'' He let a gasp. I sight mentally, he was too coward right now.. well whatever, not my problem. I can finally see Zoro in the end. ''Is this Zoro?'' I too climb and look where Luffy was looking at ''Oh, thats probably him, He just looks like how they say he looks'' Coby hesistanly climbs too ''There is no way Zoro would be here, he is probably deep in the prison cells'' but then he looks and stops then gasps and falls.
It was really funny actually that I couldnt hold my giggle. Which ended up Luffy look at me with a face that like saying dont fun with him. Like some mother look at the child who did something ridiculous. I just shrug and turn my head back to Zoro.
Man, he looks bad but still intimidating somehow. No wonder someone like Coby scared... ''Those ropes are look pretty easy to break'' This time I gave the same look to him which he do the same what I did, just shrug and turn back to Zoro, all the while Coby was yelling that stop joking and Zoro would kill us if we do. Just then we heard him ''Hey, you'' All three of us turns to him. Coby looks more like he scared that he find us though ''hm?'' Luffy looks a little curious. ''Could you please.. Come over here and untie me? I've been tied up for 9 days and I'm exhausted''
He smiles like mocking us. He has a face like feral beast that calling its preys. ''Look, he is smiling'' Of course Luffy would say this ''He..! He talked!'' I sigh at this ''Of course he talked. He is a human too so he can talk''
''I will repay you. I could hunt down a fugitive and give you the rewards. I'm not lying. I'll keep my words.'' I keep looking at him.
''No, dont do it Luffy-san! Dont be tricked by his words. If you free him he will kill us and escape!'' an extremely scared Coby states.
''He cant kill me. Because I'm strong too.'' I cant deny it. Right now there is no way Zoro could kill Luffy. I always wondered if Zoro and Luffy would fight which one would win but even Zoro would be in his full power I dont think he would win. Even though swords are kind of Luffy's weakness, right now, Zoro is too cocky for his own good. He probably will remain like this until his defeat to Hawk-eye. ''Ah?'' Oh, he take it as a challenge... really this is amusing. Just then we heard a little sound and turn our heads to right. Oh right, I forget this for a moment. Its been 18 years, I cant remember every little detail in their life!
''Ririka?!'' She looked surprised to see me a moment too ''Big sister Luna!'' She looks happy for a second but comes back quickly and before I could say anything else she shush us and go towards to Zoro. ''Ah..! Dont do it, its dangerous!'' Coby yells. Luffy on the other hand turns to me while I was looking at Ririka with some concern in my eyes ''Dont worry, I dont think he would do anything to her or he could'' I look at him a moment and then back at them ''Its not Zoro that I'm worried'' He look confused but he too turns to them.
Ah she is so cute. That Zoro! Even thought I know why he is yelling, still, how dare he?! I should punch him good for this. ''Roronoa Zoro! Dont pick on the little kids or else I will have to report to my father about it'' and here he comes, that bug. God I hate that kid. He would always ask me if I want to became his woman because he is the son of Morgan. That idiot Dadys boy. I always hold back since I knew I shouldnt kill him and he will be a good marine in the future too. And I didnt want a problem with the marines right now but... I really wanted to punch him. ''Some weirdo came'' I couldnt agree with you more Luffy! ''He must be someone important in the marine... Thank goodness the girl is safe now.'' Ah, Coby...
''Do you know him, Lu-'' Luffy cuts in half as he turned to me, probably saw my face. There was concern for Ririka and hate and disgust for Helmeppo in my eyes. I always hated that kind of man in the end. Luffy seems like understand that something is not right as I see him from corner of my eyes that he turns back to them. He was probably trying to understand whats going on now. We all watch that stupid talks about his dad, like his some kind of a god or something and how he can do anything with him being his son and dare to make cry little Ririka.
It took everything I have, to not to jump there and kill him. I murdered him a lot of different ways in my head though. When they throw her I act before Luffy and catch her. ''Are you alright, Ririka?'' I kneeled in front of her and start to check her while Coby also strart to run towards us.
I turn and looked at Luffy which he was looking at me too. ''I'm going to take her to her mother. Its the Restaurant we saw while we came here.'' He smiles ''Alright, see you there.'' and he goes. Its between them now, so I dont want to meddle with this. So Coby, Ririka and I start to walk. I told Ririka Luffy and Coby came with me, they are my friends and they are not bad guys even though Luffy is a pirate. Coby looks happy, for some reason that I dont know.
Then, with the idea in my head , I smile with a mischievousness in my eyes. I thought a lot since I came across with Luffy and I finally decided. So, I stop and turn to Ririka, kneeling to her height ''Ririka, there is something that I want to ask from you.'' She looks at me with smile ''Sure, What is it big sister Luna'' I smile at her ''When that strawhat wearing boy come here and if he says that he wants Zoro in his crew, tell him that I will join him too but if only he manages to make Zoro join him. Okay?'' I say with a smile on my face while she looks a little shocked. Coby looks more shocked though. I wonder why?
''Are you going leave for good this time? Became a pirate?'' Looks a little sad. She looks at me for a moment all the while I had a soft smile on my face. After a minute later, she smiles big and nods while saying ''Okay, I will tell him!'' I hug her a little ''Thanks, Ririka!'' When I let her go, I turn to my back and start to walk towards my little home, I have to packed up my things in the end. Waving my hand to Coby ''Make sure you take her to her mother, Coby!'' When I turn the street I can hear him saying that he would.
'
Ririka and Coby came to the restaurant and start to sitting. They were just came and Coby was about to ask her questions but before he could the door opened and Luffy came in. He immediately noticed that Luna was not there so ''Where is Luna?'' asks while walking towards them to sit with them.
''Big sister Luna is gone to her home. She would be come back soon, I guess'' Luffy was about the ask more but before he could, a woman come from the back and she let a gasp when she saw the little girl. ''Ririka! Where did you go? Who is these boys?'' She came towards to Ririka while looking at Luffy and Coby skeptically. Little girl is answers happily ''Mom! These are friends of big sister Luna!'' middle aged woman looks at boys ''Oh, they are?'' she asks with a smile, like this was enough for her. Ririka laughs with a nod, Luffy also laughs ''Oh you know Luna? I'm Luffy!'' He says with a big smile, waving his hand. A friend of his friend was also his friend after all.
The woman introduce her self too, saying that her name is Rika, Ririka's mother and the owner of the restaurant. She also tells them, they know Luna because she sometimes comes and helps them with customers and sometimes sing songs too, even if it was rare ''Oh, yes she sings so good, told me that she is not a musician though'' Luffy tells, starts with a happy and ended with upset tone in his voice. They laugh at this, telling him that she is not. ''She goes different places and comes back with bandits or pirates and takes their bounties.'' Ririka says waving her hands in the air excitedly. To her, Luna was so cool. Luffy already knew she was doing this so he laughs too. Coby on the other hand asks with a confuse tone ''So she is a bounty hunter?'' his head was tilted a litle
Ririka laughs again ''Nope! She just wants money and likes to fight and she always brings them here because we and marines know her!'' Coby's confuse only keep going with this though ''Know her? Why do you have to know her just because she brings the criminals for their bounty?'' This time Rika answers with a small smile ''She doesnt want to known as a bounty hunter and doenst want to known with her full name for some reason. Here, we know her and dont ask things about like that. Marines knows her here as De Luna.''
''De Luna'' Coby repeats and start to think about as he never heard such a name. He saw that name on her rifle though but he understands the reason. Normal thing would be ask her everything about her and after a couple of criminals they would start to call her as a bounty hunter, so its normal if she always brings them here.
Luffy on the other hand, was thinking about the time they had met. She had no problem and told her full name, just after they had met. He doesnt know about this underworld things but after everything she told him, he understands that maybe it could be dangerous if she was known. 'Like Ace' he thoughts. In the short time they were together he noticed that sometimes she was so much like his brother. Maybe thats why... He only knew her for a day now, no, not even a day. They just had met this morning, just five minutes or so after the sun rise. It wasnt even a day but he felt like they knew each other for a long time.
Luffys thoughts cut when he heared Cobys voice ''So what happen here? With Zoro and all? Is Zoro really bad?'' and Ririka answers him while yelling at him ''Of course not! He is not a bad person. He is the one who saved me!'' This take Luffys interest, so he asks ''Saved you?'' She smile big ''Yeah, you see...'' So she tells them what happened.
''So, you're saying... that Zoro only arrested because he killed Helmeppo's wolf?'' Luffy asks, not really liking.
''You are right. So maybe he has a bad temper, but chasing down fugitives... Isn't that big a crime either'' Coby says while thinking, for some reason Luna's words was ringing in his ears.
''The only bad guys are the Morgans! You will get executed if you disobey them, so everyone is afraid of them. Only big sister Luna doesnt afraid but she is not always here''
Just Luffy was about to speak, they heard the door is opened and see that Helmeppo is enters. He was laughing while he walks to sit. ''Hey bring me something eat and drink now. Are you trying to make me wait?'' He yells and then turns to the two marines there, who came with him. ''I'm gonna publicly execute Roronoa Zoro in there days! I will use him to set an example! Its gonna be pretty interesting!'' he laughs.
''There days?'' Luffy asks quetly and turns to Helmeppo ''Didnt you say you'll give him a month?''
''Who are you? How rude..'' then with a mocking face ''I was only joking with him! Only an idiot would believe that!'' Luffy remembering Zoro's words suddenly gets up and punchs Helmeppo right in the face. ''Luffy-san!'' Coby run towards to Luffy and tries to hold him back. ''Stop, Please! You want to mess with the marines or someting?!'' Cobys screams cut with Luffys voice though.
''Coby, I have decided.'' Luffy says with so much determination in his voice that startles Coby . ''Huh?''
''I'm gonna ask Zoro to join me!''
The customers and the towns people, who just outside, starts to panic while asking who is this person and looks pretty scared that someone really hit Helmeppo. Rika is the only one who stays calm at the background. She knew that Luna wouldnt bring trouble, so if she let this boy come here, there was only one meaning.
Coby was still trying to hold Luffy back, yelling ''Luffy-san please calm down! They are marines!'' well his words doesnt exactly reach to Luffy though. Since he was saying ''I dont cere! A bastard is still a bastard.'' Helmeppo on the other side was in shock that someone dare to hit him. ''Y-y.. You dare to hit me?! My dad hasnt even hit me once!'' He looks like he has gone crazy ''I'm the son of axe hand Morgan! I will tell him about this!'' Hearing this all the customers starts to run. ''Why dont you fight me yourself?!'' Coby tightens his hold on Luffy ''Luffy-san dont do this!'' Two marines holds up Helmeppo and starts to go all the while Helmeppo keeps yelling ''You will regret hitting me! You will get a death sentence for it! And my dad will be the one who executes you!''
''It meaningless to hit people like him'' Luffy says while ignoring Helmeppo's yells. Even though he already hit him... Coby also look at them while saying ''He ran away...'' Just then Ririka comes to Luffy ''You were so cool big brother! Just then I was scared to death!'' Luffy laughs ''Really? I should have hit him a couple more times!'' Ririka laughs too. ''You said you want to Zoro join you right?'' She asks with bright eyes while looking up to Luffy. ''Yeah I decided he will join me!'' he aswers with a big smile. ''Big sister Luna told me that if you ever decided that I should told you somethig!'' with a big smile on her face. This gets Luffy's attention ''Oh? What is it?'' with curiosity since Luna was still didnt come back and he was wondering where she was.
''She said that she will join your crew!'' she says excitedly. Luffy's eyes lit up with this and he was about to celebrate before he heard ''If only you chould make Zoro to join you!'' She finishes with same excite. ''Eh?'' Luffy asks, somehow with a blank face. This time Coby speaks ''Ah, right! Just before she left, she said that if you ever say that you wanted Zoro in your crew, we should tell you that she will join you too, if only you manages to make Zoro join you.'' Luffy stays silent for a minute, his eyes were shadowed with his hat and worrying Coby all the while. Then, he suddenly brust into laughing. After a good and long laugh, he finally calms down ''She really said that?'' Ririka and Coby nods ''Sihihihi! So she gone to pack up her things!'' He says and starts to walk towards marines base. ''Luffy-san where are you going?!'' Coby yells/asks.
''Well I have to make Zoro join me!'' He waves his hand without looking back. His voice sounds happy though. Which he was happy, he didnt know how Luna knew but he was already deem her very clever. He also already decided to make Zoro join and if this makes Luna join too, it was all better!
Coby on the other hand was gasping, yelling he cant but Luffy didnt even listening. He was wondering what he should do when he was waiting just outside of the door. There was a war inside his head. Luffy was his first friend and he admired him and he learn that Zoro wasnt that a bad guy. He also knew marines were wrong but he was too scared. Just then he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder. He look up to see who is it only to see the deep oceans. They were so intense, like they were seeing right througt his very soul ''Are you gona just wait? I tought you wanted to became good marine?'' Those words were enough to finish the battle inside Coby's head. His eyes turn to determined as he too starts to run towards to marines base. He abruptly stopped in a couple of steps though. Looking back with wonder ''Are you not coming?'' He asked. But the only answer he got was a knowing and kind smile. Something he didnt see in her face a lot even in their short time. He doesnt know why but he turns his back and once again starts to run. He somehow knew everything will be alright.
While this was happening, Rika started to packup some food and booze. She too have little knowing and happy smile.
She would also prepare some food for their coming.
It wasnt last that long, everything was finished so quickly. Zoro promised that he will join to Luffy, even though he blackmailed. He also told Luffy his dream, so that his new captain will not interfere in his fights. He somehow knew he wont though since he also has a dream.
So now they were in restaurant. Zoro was hungry, didnt eat for days, the only thing he eat was that dusty rice balls. So they were talking and laughing while they were eating. Talking about going to grand line and Coby saying that he had never friend before and the three of them taught to him to live his dream, makes Zoro wonders who is the third one. ''So since we are going to Grand Line, you already had crew right? How many people there are?'' Luffy while eating smiles and point himself and Zoro and ''Just the three of us''
''Three?! Just three person can even became pirates?!'' He yells, Luffy on the other hand laughs like he heared some kind of joke ''Why not?! Three of us are strong, so of course we can!'' He says with a real belief. Zoro was about to yell something again but he stops himself. Tilted his head a little, asks with a little confuse tone ''Three? Who is the third one?'' He then look at Coby with a raised eyebrown, asking as if 'you?' Coby understands this and rapidly shakes his head and ''It's not me! I want to become a marine not pirate!'' he yells
Just then Zoro was about to ask 'then who?' Luffy beats him ''She will be here soon.'' Luffy says with a big smile and turns to eat again. Zoro was about to open his mouth but then again he beaten up. From the door, this time. He looks up to the door and the moment he sees her, he knew this is the third one they were talking about just now. He remembers seeing her for the first time. Right... she was with them. But he was tired and didnt look carefully at that time.
She was a beautiful girl. With the short high heels she wears she was almost the same height with Luffy, still a bit sorther though, maybe his eye level? Her eyes looked like, seas were sealed inside them. Like ocean, pulling inside whoever look at them. There was also something different in her eyes, so much knowledge, makes one feels like they are being drowing in them. And so much experience, like someone who saw so much and there was also a glint of craziness too. She had silk white long hair with golden strands and a little sunburn skin.
Even though she was beautiful, Zoro couldnt say that it was a beauty of a princess or some lady or something like that, he would say it's was a wild beauty. But it wasnt her beauty what catchs Zoro's attention. She was intimidating. Even though he couldnt see everything, he knew her body had a muscles just on right places. He knew she wasnt weak.
Her weapons also interested him. She had a weird gun and bullets and another weird skeleton bracelet on her right hand. He also could see two things on her backpack and he somehow knew that they were also one of her weird weapons. Only normal things would be the dagger, throwing knives and for to his most interest, her katana. Even though they were the most normal ones, they were all pitch black. He briefly saw the letters on the gun, which was hanging on her right side arm. De Luna. He wondered if thats her name since on the other side were saying fun gun. 'Could be the gun's name too' he thoughts.
While he was investigating the girl he heard Luffy's happy voice and turn to him. He was waving to the girl ''Luna! So you came. Are you ready to go now?'' He asks with a big smile and she smiles back, somehow kindly, but in her eyes there were also a little bit glint of enthusiasm.
So this is indeed the third one. Luna? He has a little smirk while still looking at her pitch black katana. His hand is involuntarily rest on his pure white katana. His hands not the only ones though as his mind also involuntarily wonder in the past. Kuina. He comes back to the present. Still looking to the katana with unchanged smirked face and he knew, this would be a good spar.
'
It wasnt take that long to pack up for her. She had a steel blue backpack and she didnt have that much of a things anyway. A couple of important books and some books about grandline and marines, there was also a book she saw a little way back on some island and bought, about navigate on grandline. She didnt understand much of it so she was thinking to give it to Nami, after everything with Arlong.
She also didnt have much clothes for now. A couple of little chest, which they were locked and a couple of notebooks some filled, some still emty. There were thigs about this world that she heard and saw only herself inside them. She never left a clue behind her that can prove that she know things that wil happen in the future. She knew that the Government and the World Nobles doesnt like the D.'s and as someone who knows so much like her, she couldnt risk it and didnt want to catch some unwanted attention too. This was one of the reasons that she hides her name.
After she put everything, she lastly put her babies in too. One can only saw them a little of their tips but since her mallet was longer it was more visible. Well whatever, it wasnt not that important anyway. When she make sure everything is ready and didnt left behind anything important she took one bottle of sake and go to some roof, to watch the show.
'
She couldnt help but laugh as she saw Luffy really blackmailed Zoro. She was trying to be careful not to be so loud but Luffy already knew she was here and watching anyway.
It was about the time when she saw the marines were coming. She was unsheltered her katana to half and waiting for the moment if she ever have to jump in. She knew Luffy would be there but there could be anything. What if something would be changed and he wouldnt be there. She couldn't wait to things to happen if there is a chance that she could help. Even more so, if she will be one of them, she would do anything in her powers to protect them. She in the end, had no one left. It was that moment she felt eyes on her and look at that side. It was the window on her left side.
It didnt last long but she got the message. It was an order, saying that she should wait here, keep watching. If it wasnt the fact that his serious face and those intense black orbs looked so much like some kind of black holes, Luna would yell at him saying that she still didnt join him, so he cant order her but she just calmly sheltered her katana back and sit while looking at him. There was a little smile on Luffy's face that one can miss easily.
'Like I thought before... Is he mocking me?! Or what?' was Luna's thoughts as Luffy was gone in second and was in front of Zoro and Coby like some kind of sheild. It was ended up quickly. 'They really are a good team' she thought as she watch them while finishing the sake in her hand with a smirk on her lips. She was happy to see that he punched that stupid Helmeppo good.
Luffy lift Zoro and look up to where Luna is with a raised eyebrown. She was taken aback a little, she really didnt know he had this kind of side. Real life was really different in the end, makes her always amuse every time something like this happens. He looked rather cocky right that moment and asks her as if 'What now?' After a couple of second glance match between them, Luna sighs, admitting the defeat. She already knew that she would but she didnt know that he would be this cocky about it! Even with this thoughts Luna had a smile on her face and nod her head. Luffy laugh to this, turn around and go with Zoro and Coby.
Luna look up to sky, thinking one last time. There wont be turning back now but she didnt want to be alone too. She knew it will be so much fun with them, friends and freedom. It wont be always these, she knows but she also cant stop herself to say yes either. If she would stay alone, she would gone crazy in the end anyway. So, she closed her eyes, staying like that for a minute and with a one last sigh she open her eyes with a small but happy smile on her face and start to go towards the restaurant, where her new friends waits.
He was looking at my katana. I knew that would interested him and I also knew when I saw his smirk that he wanted to spar with me. Like I would ever back off, I wanted that too. So I smirk back causing that only his smirk gone wider. ''Hi!'' with a wide smile, waving my right hand while I go to sit besides them. Putting my backpack on the side, I smile and say thanks to Rika, who put some food and some sake in front of me as soon as I sit down.
''Luna! this is Zoro, our new crewmember, He is a swordsman and using three katana at the same time! Zoro, this is Luna!'' Luffy says with his never ending smile while put some meat in his mouth. I laugh too and look at Luffy ''Well, actually I'm the new crew member since I join right after Zoro.'' Zoro looks confused while Luffy blinks like he just noticed that. Then he laughs ''You're right. Zoro, this is our new crewmember, Luna!'' I brust into laughter when I saw Zoro's face. He look so damn confused. Coby, Ririka and Rika were giggling too. ''What are guys talking about? We were together all the time after I said I would join you. When did this hapen?'' He asks while we were trying to calm down.
Coby is the one who explains ''It was a deal between Luffy-san and Luna-san. Luffy-san was trying to make her join to him for a while now. After we saw you first time today when Luffy-san was with you, Luna-san told us that if Luffy-san ever wants you in his crew we would tell him that she will join too only if he would manages to you join him.'' He smiles as he explained and Luffy made some adds too ''She was watching us from some roof. So after the fight is done she give a sign that she will join us too'' and he eats more. Well he didnt have to say that I was watching. ''Ehhh?! Luna-san you were there too?!'' I knew it. I smile big, like this is how it's supposed to be ''Yeah'' Coby is not in the same page as me though ''You could help!'' He looks like he will cry at any moment. So funny that I laugh ''Well, it worked in the end, right?! You should look at the future, not past'' I keep laughing while drinking my sake. Coby looks like what he always looks like, going about to crazy. Luffy also laughs while eating meat. Zoro on the other hand, looks like he doesnt know what to say.
After a moment later he comes with something ''What were you gonna do if he wouldnt decided that I should join?'' He looks very curious. Others became silence too clearly wondering. Only Luffy keeps eating. I just shrug ''I wouldnt join, obviously'' I say with a blank face. I dont know what he is thinking but he smirks. I raise an eyebrown to him as if asking 'dare to smirk?' or ' are mocking me?' I hated someone mocking me except myself.
I looked at him up and down. I knew almost everyhing about him but that doesnt mean I knew him personally. He is good, has a real potential. I felt the determination in his words back there too. I dont know if I can win against him, even if I know a little bit of observation haki. It would probably be a draw. With pure sword fight, that is. I know for certain that I can win If I go with everything. Until he learns about haki, at least. After that.. I have no idea. I would probably lost? But I would be learning too. Seems like our future spars will be fun.
''So you are after Hawk-eye?'' I ask excitedly, soon we would be seeing him. He looks surprised for a moment then he asks too ''Ho-'' I cut him while looking at him like he was some kind of stupid. ''I was on the roof'' I say with deadpan look and voice. He looked frustrated for a moment ''You know him?'' He asks while look at his white katana. Ah, Kuina. One of things we had something similar, both of us had a promise to dead people.
''I sailed to the sea to find him.'' He looks at me with a glint in his eyes, lingering them a moment on my katana ''What about you?'' Oh? I laugh loundly ''Dont worry! I dont care about that tittle. I'm not a pure swordsman anyway.'' Waving my hand and look at him with some amuse. He too nods while looking weirdly to my other weapons ''Just because I know the guy and carrying a sword doesnt mean I want to be the greatest, you know? There is a lot of people who also knows him or heard of him'' Are those redness on his cheeks? I laugh more to this.
''I dont know him though'' Ah, he is sulking.''Dont worry, Captain'' I say with a smile while I turn to him. He had a big smile as he is happy that I called him captain. Then, I turn my smile to an evil one ''I will teach you every thing I know, in time'' with this, his smile kind of froze. Blink twice and turns to Zoro. He must have though the best idea would be ignore me right now, like that moment never happened. I sigh and shake my head slowly while he answers Zoro's not so unanswered question. ''Luna knows a lot! She is perfect at gathering information and she is so smart!'' He looks so proud of himself, most probably because he said the words just right and nods sagely to himself.
Zoro looks at me, prabably trying to figure out something or wants me to explain to him. He sweatdrops when he saw me though, since I was too also nodding sagely. I'm also proud of myself in the end. Whatever he was going to say, he doesnt. Instead of that he looks like he came up with somethig else. ''By the way how long are you guys know each other? Coby said Luffy was trying to make you join for a while now, right?'' He had that look, probably waiting to hear for a long time or something but instead we both blink at him, looking blank somehow. He looks taken a back from this. ''We met this morning'' we both say simultaneously. He was almost about to fall from his chair. Poor guy, so I asked him if he is okay with a concern look on my face and he says he is fine with a little bit of frustrated tone. All the while, Luffy laughs and eat meats.
We talk and laugh a little more. Coby looks concerned about the fact that he was in the pirate ship, so didnt know if he could became a marine. I dont say anything, I know Luffy will take care of it somehow. So instead, I just talk and play with Ririka and eat food, drink sake. Marines came after a while later. Saying that we should go. While Luffy and Zoro get up and go towards the door and causing a scene with Coby I was getting some packed food and sake from Rika-san, saying good bye to them and telling them to keep up with the newspaper. Just when I was about the follow Luffy and Zoro, marine guy ,which was the one who responsible now since Morgan is no more, asks me ''Are you going with them, Luna?'' Oh he knows me, I probably know him too. I dont remember though, well.. ''Yeah, I decided that I would became a pirate so...'' and I start to walk away. My backpack on my back, packed food on my left hand. ''I'm not going to say anything for now but if they ever asks for information, I will say 'De Luna' '' I laugh and wave my hand without looking back.
'De Luna' I thought. It wasnt a well known name but it was a well known name in the underworld and black market. Its normal though... Thank god, one of the rules of underworld is that you never tell anything you saw or hear there, to anyone. It should be fine. At least to the marines and likes. I know some of our future enemies will surely know me. Well there is nothing I can do about it now. Even though I wasnt use that name to the marines, it was on my fucking rifle, so if they were not stupid they would already knew anyway.
I came to the boat. They were already ready to go. So I jump in too, a big smile on my face like them. ''Lets go!'' Luffy says excitedly, arms on the air.
We could see and hear Coby, waving him while saying see you later. And we will.
So, this is how it begins.
