Shells Town

After some time, when both Coby and Luffy stopped their ruckus, Loki asked, "So, where are we sailing to."

Coby replied, "Nearby, there is a town called Shells town."

Like this made him think something, he looked at Luffy with resentment and said, "How can someone sail to sea without even knowing the least bit of knowledge about navigation."

Luffy laughed and said proudly, "I will find a navigator to join my crew. HAHAHAAHHA."

Loki is not too worried about this as he knows Nami will join soon.

Also, he knows something about navigation which he learned from his grandfather. Of course, he is not excellent at it like Nami, but he knows the basics.

"So how long will it take to reach the shore." Enquired Loki.

"It's already evening now. I think if we sail in the same maybe we will reach tomorrow morning." Replied Coby looking at the sky. [I'm not sure how long it took them to reach so I'm going with the flow here.]

"Hmm, maybe we should do some fishing for our dinner then."

"Yes, I have some snacks here I took from Alvida's ship. We can try to use it as bait." Coby responded and rummaged through the bag that he took from Alvida.

"Here it is...… Luffy sannn.... That is for bait, not for you to eat." Shouted at Luffy, his hands stretched and snatched the snacks from Coby's hand.

Luffy replied with some snacks already in his mouth,"Sworry sworry.." But his laughing face shows he didn't feel the least bit of regret for his actions.

Thank god there are some snacks left that Coby snatched from Luffy and made a makeshift fishing rod with the tools available. It really should be an act of god for Luffy didn't eat all of the snacks.

After that, three of them sat in three corners of the boat and tried to catch fish.

Luffy is picking his nose and contemplating whether to eat the bait rather than fish. He feels very bored.

Loki feels refreshed and enjoyed the setting sun, calm ocean, and fishing.

Coby was worried about whether they will get any fish for not.

After a long time, Luffy, who already started to doze off with a bubble coming out of his nose, was startled awake by the shaking of his fishing rod.

"Hmm… What's happening… Who is shaking me….oh I GOT It, HAAHAHAHAHA."

Luffy's shout alerted the other two. They immediately came over to see. Luffy is grinning happily and holding a big fish. It's almost equal to his size.

Then all three made simple fire with the tools available and grilled the fish carefully without damaging the boat.

Luffy is urging Loki, who is grilling, and Coby is trying to make Luffy wait a while.

After it's grilled. Loki separated the fish into three parts fast. And gave Luffy the biggest piece. He took the second big, and Coby got the least.

But no one complains. Loki knows Luffy will eat a lot. He himself eats a lot but he won't steal from others. As Coby won't eat that much, that small piece is enough for him.

Luffy basically swallowed the fish given and looked at Loki. Loki immediately moved away, he knew what Luffy was going to do now. He itself is eating fast but not as fast as Luffy.

'Why Loki-san moved away, and it looks he eats faster than before.' Coby mused. He immediately understands why Loki moved away by looking at the hand that was stealing the fish.

Well, after their dinner, Coby is still pouting at the fish stealing incident.

Loki asked with a teasing smile, "So how was the fish, Coby"

Cobi snorted at that but didn't reply.

"HAHAHAHAHAH… Ok, ok do you know anything about this shell town?" Asked Loki

Luffy also had little interest, so he came and sit next to them.

"I dono much about the town, actually it's a small town. The only thing is it has a naval base."

"I heard rumors from the pirates that famous pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro was caught by the navy and imprisoned there." Coby replied after thinking about this.

"Zoro, isa he good guy?" exclaimed Luffy.

"Luffy-san, he is a bad guy. That's why the Navy arrested him. I heard about him, with three swords and bandana on his head, he is a demon that kills pirates like cutting vegetables." With a shiver in his voice, Coby told them the rumors he heard.

Both Luffy and Loki didn't take it seriously.

"Let's look at him. If he is strong and good, we will recruit him. Loki, we will look Zoro tomoro. HAHAHAHAHAHAH." Luffy grinned.

"Sure." Loki said.

"Whaaaaaat...…" shouted Coby listening to what his companions were talking about. His jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"No, no no, no no. You can't, Luffy san. He is a demon that's why he was arrested. You absolutely can't. And he may not even join. He is a pirate hunter, who hunts pirates. How can he become one." shaking his head like a drum, Coby replied very fast.

Luffy just hit his head.

"Coby, there are many marines who are eviler than some pirates. We will know about Zoro's fault tomorrow once we ask around the town. And whether he joins or not, somehow I think he won't have a choice." Smiled Loki mischievously with a twinkle in his eyes and looked at Luffy. After all, in the original story, he almost forced Zoro.

"Yaa, let's decide tomorrow." Luffy didn't understand Loki's meaning but he didn't care.

Coby with a surprised look on his face and thinking. 'How can a marine be eviler than pirates.'

Loki understood what Coby was thinking by the look on his face, he asked Coby, "What do you think justice is, Coby?"

"Helping innocent people and protecting them from harm." Coby replied immediately.

"Well, it's good, and always remember your words, Coby" no wonder Garp liked this kid.

Coby had a bewildered look on his face, not understanding what Loki meant.

After some small discussions, everyone went to sleep. Loki was not fully asleep. He will react immediately to any accidents.

Like this, the boat carrying three people of great destiny traveled silently in the night towards Shells town.
