Trouble At Sea

"Ugh... I'm so hungry..." Luffy complains as Zoro stays silent in agreement.

"..." I stay silent and try not to draw attention to my sack of food or it will be lost for good. [MINE.]

'Fuck... my head hurts... Can't even sleep in this boat. The floor is hard wooden planks, the waves and these two rock the boat and all the damn noise. I'm going crazy.' [Crazier]

My complexion slightly paler as I feel my body's functions lowering from insufficient rest. 'Damn. I need my 8 hours of beaty sleep but this is simply impossible in these conditions.'

"Hey~... Dravde~… Do you have any food?" Luffy finally notices my loot.

"If you want to eat some lead bullets then sure. Let me just load up my gun." I grumble in annoyance as [Bullet with your name on it~] Lyrics ring in my head.

"Did you always have a gun?" Zoro looks at me quizzically.

"Nah. It seems that some pirates, whose leader wears a straw hat, looted the Marine base armory while their leader was beating up the base Captain."

"Huh, that sounds familiar." Luffy wonders as "OI! IT'S YOU!" Zoro retorts.

"So, you looted their weapons?" Zoro tries to confirm once again.

"No. Some pirates did." I smirk at Zoro.

"After all~. I'm merely a hostage~(/passanger)." My voice filled with amusement and ridicule as I blame everything on them while I give my best troll face imitation.

"You bastard." Zoro curses at me.

"So, no food?" Luffy asks again in a pitiful voice.

"No food." I confirm. 'Not for you at least. Fishing rod would've been nice though.'

"It's funny that you have absolutely no navigation skills." Zoro complains to Luffy. 'You're one to talk.'

"Why? I've always been just wandering! You're like me too. Wandering and capturing wanted pirates for rewards."

"I don't remember me saying that I live completely off of rewards! I was searching for a man that's why I left to the sea but now I can't find my way home."

'So, you got lost...'

"I had no choice but to start hunting pirates for a living, just to get a little bit for the living expenses."

'How did you find them then? And how fucking expensive were your living expenses?'

"Oh, so you're lost." Luffy's words stab Zoro deeper than Mihawk ever could.

"SHUT UP! YOU ARE THE ONE WHO'S LOST!!" Zoro defends himself like a proper adult, blaming others than themselves.

"Geez... Never heard of pirates who don't know how to navigate!"

"Got a map?" I question. ""Nope."" They answer.

*Sigh* "Got a compass?" I question with a sigh. ""Nuh-uh."" They shake their heads in denial.

"Brilliant!" I throw my hands in the air and show a jovial expression as they look at me in hope.

"We're screwed." My face turns back to gloomy depression as the other two also lose the shine from their eyes.

"How do you expect to go to the Grand Line like this? You should hurry up and find a crewmate who knows how to navigate!"

'Don't worry Zoro we'll find our princess when we get to the castle.' [Unless there's a Toad there.]

"And someone who knows how to cook, and someone for singing..." Luffy starts listing people that he wants.

"IDIOT! WHAT ARE YOU GOING OFF ON!?" As Zoro shouts Luffy for getting ahead of himself.

""Soooooo hungry~…." They also plop down on their backs and join me.

[I DEMAND CHOCOLATE!] 'Urgh. I need my sugar.'

"I miss auntie's cooking." Luffy mutters. 'Auntie? Did he always call Makina auntie?'

After a while we see a bird flying high in the sky.

'I guess... it's time... for another... ADVENTURE~... YIPPEE~.' Even my thoughts have gone tired and monotone.

"Oh! A Bird!" Zoro spots our next source of a headache.

"Looks pretty tasty." Luffy's stomach speaks through his mouth.

"Let's eat that bird!" Luffy gets up "How are you going to eat it!?" as Zoro wonders how to catch a bird in the middle of an ocean.

"I'll go get it! Watch my speciality!! Gomu Gomu no... ROCKET!!"

'And off he goes...' [Like a shooting star]

"Can't believe he thought of that..." Zoro admires Luffy's ingenuity(?).

"You know I have a gun, right?" I ask Zoro with a raised eyebrow.

Zoro then turns to look at me but *CHOMP!* "AHH!!" suddenly Luffy's shout can be heard. We see him being bitten by his head. [Absolute genius]

"AHHHH!! HELP~!!" We see the bird flying off into the distance with Luffy in tow.

"YOU IDIOT!!!!!! What the hell are you doing!" Zoro starts to frantically row the boat after the bird.

*SMACK* "URGHH..." 'What a god damn headache.' I facepalm for the umpteenth time.

"Hey! Please stop!" Suddenly a shout can be heard. "The boat over there, stop!"

"Drifters!? We don't have time for this! I can't stop the boat! Climb on when it passes by!"

"What!?" They shout in panic.

'Drifters? Oh right, Buggy's guys that tried to rob Zoro but he made them row the boat. So this was how they met. Why where they drifting here again? Well, never mind that. I should pick up my gun and my sword.'

I quickly take out my sword and pistol as I position myself next to Zoro in front of his wondering gaze.

The pirates desperately grab on the speeding boat.

"Wow, you actually got on." Zoro smirks with mock admiration.

"Are you trying to kill us!?" They shout at Zoro

"He wasn't but I am." I point my pistol towards them while holding my sword on my right hand.

'This feels weird... I need a knife.'

"Hah. Like you can fight the three of us. We're with Buggy the Clown and we'll be taking this ship." The group leader also takes out a sword.

"What!?" Zoro glares at them. I give Zoro a look and motion towards the three clowns in front of us. I turn my sword so that I'm swinging with the blunt side as Zoro gets up and also does the same. We start the fight by Zoro disarming the leader as I swing my sword while pointing my gun to intimidate my opponent.

With Zoro's help we take quick care of them and I suggest we make them row the boat on our behalf.

"Hohohohoho. We didn't know you were "Pirate Hunter Zoro" and his friend! We're really sorry..." The now black and blue pirates desperately smile and try to flatter Zoro like a shrewd merchant.

"You three made us lose track of our friend! Put some back into it! If we don't find our friend, you three are in for it!!" Zoro barks at them in annoyance.

""AYE!"" They answer in despair.

"Just row to your current base. I'm sure it's the closest place to land." I tell the pirates.

"You sure that's a good idea?" Zoro asks me with a raised eyebrow.

"It's not but that's where he'll be." I say as I plop back down to take a rest.

"How can you be so sure?" "Just trust me, alright?" I respond as I close my eyes.

Zoro then asks the three why they were stranded in the middle of the ocean and they tell how some orange haired girl swindled them out of their treasure and their boat. Zoro marvels at the girl's power to predict the weather as the pirates' grumble about how they are going to get their revenge.

'Oh, so it was Nami's doing. She sure loves to steal boats.'

"Who's this Buggy guy?" Zoro asks since the pirates keep mentioning him.

"You've never heard of Buggy the Clown? He's the leader of our pirate crew. He's a dangerous man who ate one of the Devil's Fruit."

"Ate a Devil's Fruit?" Zoro picks up on the interesting fact.

"Yeah, like Luffy. But Buggy ate Bara Bara no Mi and he is immune to swords and can turn himself into multiple pieces and control and levitate them at will. You should be careful of sneak attacks, his group doesn't fight fair and does a lot of tricks."

"H-How did you know?" One of the pirates asks.

"You know this guy?" Zoro looks at me in wonder since I know a lot about a pirate.

"We've met long ago in the past before he had his own crew..." 'Also future knowledge for the win!'

"Can you tell me more since it sounds like they're going to be our opponents next?" Zoro grins in anticipation.

"Sure." I grin back. 'Let's not have you NERF'd by a sneak attack.'
