[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!?!?!?!??!

Who are you anyways? You're certainly not the average person we get here... if you can really call anyone we get here average.

From:

straw_hat

I'm Monkey D. Luffy.

And I'm not average.

Yes, I just said that. Oh, and if you're wondering about your powers, that's entirely the fault of the chip the scientists that brought you here, placed in you.

From:

straw_hat

.....chip? I never got any food.

[Haer'Dalis at fist wanted to just stare at Luffy, wondering if he was really for real, but before he could even try, he burst out laughing.]

HAHA!! No, no my friend, I mean they put a mechanical device inside of you to prevent you from using your powers.

From:

straw_hat

[He's for real. He's just.....that stupid. Except for now.]

......they did WHAAAAAAAT?!?!?!

From:

sojournsparrow.livejournal.com

[Oh I know that, but poor Haer'Dalis doesn't XD]

Again with the yelling. But with that one, I can definitely agree with you in being outraged.

From:

straw_hat

But I need those powers!!!!!

From:

sojournsparrow.livejournal.com

Don't we all need our powers?

From:

straw_hat

I guess, but I really need 'em!

From:

sojournsparrow.livejournal.com

And just what are your powers then?

From:

straw_hat

I'm a rubber human!

Oh, and I've got haki, too. [Because you totally know what these are.]

From:

sojournsparrow.livejournal.com

A rubber man... Does that mean you're made of rubber or something?

... and what on earth is Haki?

From:

straw_hat

Yeah, that's right!

Haki's...... [.....WHAT DID RAYLEIGH SAY?].....it's uh......willpower!

From:

sojournsparrow.livejournal.com

If Haki is willpower, than surely your chip could not disable it. Unless of course it was such an epic level of willpower that it dominates others. But that is such an incredibly rare ability that it's almost hard to believe you would have it.

From:

straw_hat

[.....dominate others.....] DAMMIT!

From:

sojournsparrow.livejournal.com

[Haer'Dalis arches an eyebrow]

... am I to assume that, that is what Haki is then? My, my you are full of surprises my little rubber man aren't you?

From:

straw_hat

Well, one form of it can do that. Another one let's me make an invisible armor around me, and then another one let's me predict people's moves.

The third one....has something to do with dominating people with weak willpower.

Or something.

From:

sojournsparrow.livejournal.com

It sounds like some of the abilities that I've only seen some of the greater demon lords, or celestials have... That is incredibly impressive. Haha! Remind me not to get on your bad side. What's your name anyways?

From:

straw_hat

Nah, they don't know how to use it. Too pathetic. [Cause you're from his world. And you know about them. Obviously.]

I'm Monkey D. Luffy.

From:

sojournsparrow.livejournal.com

Clearly you haven't met many of the more powerful ones.

Isn't Monkey a peculiar name to have? [Says the man who calls himself the Sparrow]

From:

straw_hat

Them? Powerful? No way! All they do if walk around and act like bastards!

Is it? My dad's got the same name. Monkey D. Dragon. [TOTALLY FEARSOME, RIGHT.]

From:

sojournsparrow.livejournal.com

Clearly you've had some bad experiences with some who may have called themselves as such.

So Monkey is your family name? [More arched eyebrows]

Oh, by the way, that chip that has you so irritated does have a way of being removed you know. As it is, I'm going to be getting mine removed soon. Or at least I'm planning to, provided there aren't any complications.
