Chapter Text
“Hey, you guys! I see land!!!” Usopp screamed at the top of his lung from the top of the crow’s nest, waking Zoro from his sleep. But lucky for Usopp, the swordsman was too lazy to get up after the long nose. Instead, he went back to sleep.
“Yeah!!!!!! Land!!!!” Never mind, trust his captain to wake him up again.
Meanwhile, Nami double-checked her compass, satisfied that it wasn’t quivering as much as the others. “This island should be rather calm.” She told no one in particular.
“I bet there will be meat!” Luffy once again yelled for everyone to hear.
Nami sighs. “It will be quiet until Luffy sets foot on it.”
Once they got closer to the island, they noticed there were no dockings.
“Alright, I’m anchoring the Sunny here, we're going to have to go in the mini merry from here.” Franky informed the crew.
“Gum gum, Slingshot!”
The crew didn’t have to look in Luffy’s direction to conclude what he just happened. Guess there going to have to meet him on the other side.

Luffy has been walking around the forest for only five minutes now, but the search for meat and delicious creatures that he hoped to find didn’t go as plan since this forest was apparently empty.
“Stupid forest, this island isn’t fun anymore.”
Although it didn’t stop the raven-haired boy, he will keep exploring until he finds something.
It took Luffy ten minutes to find a small village that was hidden from the trees. But that town seems to be crumbling and would be best described as hunted. But it didn’t seem to matter to Luffy as he jumped to the opportunity in finding villagers.
Which he did, there were a few carrying boxes in a single filegroup down a cave. They all seemed sad and lost in the Luffy’s opinion.
“Excuse me?” The straw hat boy asked a strange man at the end of the line, he had a weird banana-shaped hair and Luffy liked him for it. “Do you know where I can get some meat?”
“Um… What?”
“Some meat! I’m hungry.”
The man looked confused. “Um… There’s this barn that serves us food South of here.”
Luffy beamed at that. “Thank you, banana guy!” He shouted as he ran off South, leaving the man behind.
“Hey! I have a name you know! Its…umm… What is my name?”
Luffy didn’t hear him as he kept running South, seeing more and more of those weird villagers.
Finally, Luffy saw the barn, it had no doors and was filled with holes, it almost looks like it was about to fall. But no matter, the banana head guy said there was food in here.
There was no hesitation as he went inside.
Upon entering he saw two men wearing blue uniforms, they were clean and were livelier than the rest of the villagers. There was also a table with a hug empty pot.
Did the blue men eat all the food! Luffy thought.
“Have you heard; another pirate ship has anchor. Guess we’re going to have some new workers.” One of the bleu men laughs. “Daman is on his way to ‘greet’ them.”
Luffy may be dumb, but he knows the men were talking about his ship and friends. And for one that doesn’t ask too many questions, Luffy felt the need to know some answers.
“Who’s Daman? and where’s the food?” Alright, two important questions.
The blue man was caught off guard, surprised to see someone in the barn. “What are you doing here, lunch time’s over get back to work.”
“What!... I miss lunch!?” The straw hat boy became confused and started interrogating himself on whether or not he had lunch.
On the other hand, the two men saw his straw hat and understood who he was. They both looked at each other with worried expressions. “How did he end up here.” One of them asked. “And why isn’t Daman taking care of him?” The two looked back towards the raven hair boy and mentally agreed to attack him simultaneously.
As soon as they tried to jump Luffy, they quickly realize their mistake as they met the floor and blacked out.
