OFF TO RESCUE KOBY AND ZORO.

Koby finally reached the gates of the marine base. He had come here determined to join then, but when he say the metal gate, he lost all his bravery.

"I can't do this *turns around to leave but stops himself* no I can't stay a coward forever, I must be strong to follow my dreams."

Koby takes a deep breath as he pushes the gate open and heads to the marine recruitment area.

"I would like to join the marines" he said to a marine officer. But before the registration process could begin, he was surrounded by a group of marines.

"You are under arrest", he was handcuffed and taken to a prison cell.

While in his cell trying to think about what he did wrong, the prison cell door opened. The man in the door way was the jackass who was being rude in the restaurant earlier.

"Don't worry little boy, when your friend in the straw hat gets my message, he will come with that bag of gold to get you out." Helmeppo enjoyed seeing the fear in the kid's face.

He turns to leave when Koby gets the courage to say "when Luffy comes you are in a lot of trouble. He will crush you in to dust, just you wait see."

"That's the spirit kid, you keep believing that."

A few moments later a marine came running down the hall way "Sir, Capt. Morgan has returned form headquarters."

"Father's back, this will make getting that gold a lot easier. I must inform him immediately" thought Helmeppo as he had his way towards his father's office.

Hearing that Capt. Morgan was on the base, Koby feared for Luffy. He had stories of his ruthlessness and also how he defeated Kuro, captain of the black cat pirates.

"Will Luffy be ok?" he thought to himself.

Luffy had no idea of the plot against him as all he was still wondering the town looking for a boutique. While he was walking down the street he found what he was looking for.

Lucid was the name of the small boutique he entered. He liked the different clothes he saw when he walked in, but he had a particular look he wanted… 'BAD BOY' like Trafalgar D. Water law.

He found what suited his taste and he walked in to the changing. The Luffy that emerged was no longer wearing a red t shirt and blue jean shorts with sandals.

He was wearing black jeans with a white fade around the front pocket area, with a gold chain running from front to back on the left side, a white under shirt with a tight fitting light grey long sleeved shirt with it selves rolled up to the elbow. His sandals were replaced with nubuck black leather knee high rocker boots that have a thick rubber and metal sole.

Luffy had found his new imagine and he loved it.

"If I might say so sir, you love really amazing in that outfit" said the shop owner.

"Thank you, I always try to look my best" he replied. Purchasing five pairs of black jeans, 2 grey, white and black shirts each and a bag pack to carry them.

He walked back in to the streets, he bumps in to someone causing them to fall over.

"Could you watch where you are goin… IT'S YOU"

The past few days had been long for Nami. After robbing the pirates, she run in to a patrol of marine ships which caught sight of her and began to chase her. Luckily for her she ran in to a storm were with her excellent navigation skills, she was able to loss them.

After days wondering the sea, she happened to find shells town where she could get more resources before heading to her next target, Buggy the pirate.

As she was walking enjoying the town someone bumped into her, it was a man in black jeans and grey t shit wearing a straw hat. Then she recognized the face, it was the man who robbed her.

Luffy was shocked. The person he run in to was none other than Nami.

"Hello gorgeous, we met again. Did you miss me" he said with a smile.

"In your dreams thief, now hand over my gold"

"Okay * hands sack of gold to Nam* so what next."

Nami was surprised that he just handed over the gold.

"What wrong, you seem surprised"

"I didn't expect you to just give it back to me so easily"

"HAHA, something tells me you need it more than me. Besides if I need gold I know where to get more."

"I do really need the gold, but why is he being so giving, is he planning something or is really a good guy" thought Nami. Seeing that Nami had let her guard down a bit, Luffy decided to make a move when some called out.

"You with the straw hat, I have something for you."

Luffy looked at the marine in front of him fighting the urge punch him in the face because on seeing the marine Nami disappeared.

"What do you want marine?"

"This is a letter form Capt. Morgan" handing him the letter he turned and walked away.

Opening the letter. It read

We have your friend, come to the marine base if you want to see him again.

"This works perfectly for me, I can get Koby, Zoro and test out my fighting capabilities" with a smile he walked towards the marine base.
