[When the feed first switches on, it's at angle, coming from the ground. A rather angry teenager is shown, kicking pebbles around the empty streets. He looks around at the delapidated buildings around him, and huffs.]

What the hell's up with this stupid place?! I gotta get back to Fishman Island and kick Hordy's ass!

AND MY CREW'S NOT EVEN HERE, WHAT THE HELL'S UP WITH THAT!?!?!??! [In his anger, Luffy punches a nearby wall, leaving large cracks, and eventually crumbles. He pouts angrily before perking up.]

I know! I'll just take a look from one top of the buildings! [He bends forward, putting his arms behind him and grinning widely.]

YOSH!!!! Gomu Gomu no..........ROCKET! [He swings his arm in front of him, reaching for the top of a nearby building. But rather than having his arms shoot toward the roof, they didn't stretch at all, and instead fell flat on his face. He laid still for a few moments before jerking up, even angrier tha before.]

WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!? WHY CAN'T I USE MY GOMU GOMU POWERS!?!?!?!??!

Yeah! I'm a rubber human.

[video]

[bauhinia]

But not anymore?

[video]

[straw_hat]

......I guess not. [Then utter surprise comes on his face.]

MAYBE I CAN SWIM NOW!!!!!!!

[video]

[bauhinia]

That's been a problem before? [ Well, it makes sense. ]

[video]

[straw_hat]

Yeah, my Devil Fruit powers mean I can't swim anymore.

[video]

[bauhinia]

That must suck. I'm not sure you should run out and jump in the water now though.

[video]

[straw_hat]

[...BUT THAT'S JUST WHAT HE WAS GONNA DO.]

Awwww......dammit.

[bauhinia]

Wanna take a chance on drowning? You could always tie a rope around your waist.

[video]

[straw_hat]

--hey, that's a good idea! That way, someone'll pull me up if I start to drown!

[video]

[bauhinia]

Then you'll have to get someone to go with you.

[video]

[straw_hat]

Great! So you'll help me, then! [You said the idea. You're gonna help. His logic.]

[video]

[bauhinia]

[ A beat. ] Okay.

[video]

[straw_hat]

All right! Are you in this place? [Shows Spero.]

[video]

[bauhinia]

That doesn't look familiar. Do you have a map?

[video]

[straw_hat]

....map? Uh.......don't think so.

[video]

[bauhinia]

I bet I can send it to you. Japan made it. Gimme a minute and I'll try.

[video]

[straw_hat]

Thanks!

[video]

[bauhinia]

[ He'll just send it along then. ] You should have it now.

[video]

[straw_hat]

[Fiddle fiddle fiddle OH THERE IT IS.]

Yeah, I got it! Wow, this thing's pretty cool, huh?

[video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, it's pretty helpful. If you can find some street names, you'll know where you are.

[video]

[straw_hat]

Awesome! Thanks!

[video]

[bauhinia]

If we're not in the same city, you should still find someone to go with you.

[video]

[straw_hat]

Yeah, I've met some people here who'd help me out.

[video]

[bauhinia]

Good. Don't drown. [ He cocks his head to one side. ] I'm Hong Kong, by the way.

[video]

[straw_hat]

I won't! [He will.]

I'm Monkey D. Luffy!
