[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!?!?!?!??!

Not quite. Almost. He was here, but left almost the day I got there basically.

[Lol suffocate him in his sleep Luffy, Ace obviously wants that and just doesn't know it.]

[straw_hat]

Dammit! Why can't he ever stay in one place!?

[Of course he does, what do you think he's gonna do?]

[fierybluebird]

Must run in the crew.

[Excellent fufufu.]

[straw_hat]

[He thinks for a minute. Ever since that stupid Kuma separated them all, it was kinda true.]

I blame Kuma.

[LUFFY BODYGUARD.]

[fierybluebird]

Kuma?? As in the shichibukai? What does he have to do with it?

[straw_hat]

He separated all of us for a while.

[fierybluebird]

Why?

[straw_hat]

.....I don't really know.

But he saved our lives.

[fierybluebird]

He did? [Way more confused.]

[straw_hat]

Yeah. We were all at Sabaody, and some really, really strong Marines were trying to catch us. If Kuma didn't make us all teleport somewhere, we.......probably would've gotten arrested.

[fierybluebird]

I see. Strange... I wonder why. Maybe he remembered your father.

[straw_hat]

Eh? What does my dad have to do with Kuma?

[fierybluebird]

Kuma used to be in the Revolutionary Army. -- Dragon's Revolution, that is.

Basically they were nakama, of a sort. Same with Emperio Ivankov. Isn't that why she helped you?

[straw_hat]

[Since I'm too lazy to look this up, I'm assuming he doesn't know this stuff.]

--he was!? Why'd he become a Shichibukai, then?

Ivan was!? I didn't know that!

[fierybluebird]

[Luffy didn't know who his Dad was until Garp TOLD HIM so I'd say that's a safe bet. XD]

Beats me. You could ask Jinbei, he might know. But other than him I never talked to the shicibukai. Doflamingo's a prick involved in slavery, Crocodile wants to kill Pops. Generally there wasn't much reason to talk to them other than Jinbei. [Jinbei he loves, obviously.]

.... Seriously? How did you meet her then??

[straw_hat]

[Okay then.]

I'll do that when I get back. And I'll tell him you said hi. [That he does.]

Found her in Impel Down. She saved my ass when I got poisoned. Then we all broke out.

[fierybluebird]

Thanks Luffy.

Oh... that was nice of her. Did she know who your Dad was?

[straw_hat]

No problem!

Pretty sure she did.

[fierybluebird]

Then maybe Kuma did too.

[straw_hat]

Huh.......man, my dad sure knows a lot of powerful people.

[fierybluebird]

Well... he does have the highest bounty in the world.

[straw_hat]

--yeah, that's true! Wonder how he met them.

[fierybluebird]

The same way you met your nakama perhaps? Or... similarly rather.

[straw_hat]

Maybe! I'd like to hear about it sometime.

[fierybluebird]

You'll have to ask him then. Or them.
