We were back at the bar, the son had apologized to the girl before running away. I was satisfied.

"Say," Luffy looked at me, "I don't know your name yet."

"... Why do you want to know, it's not like we're gonna meet again after you set sail."

"Because I want you on my ship." He gave me a toothy grin. I paused.

"I don't know, Luffy, I don't know what you need me for. I can read maps and sail, but I'm not a navigator, I can treat wounds, but I'm not a doctor, I can move fast and fight, but I'm not a monstrous fighter like you two. The only thing I can do is study stars, I don't know why you'd need an astrologist on your ship." I shrugged

"That's okay though, we're going to travel around the world, and you can study stars on the ship. You're good at many things. And you're cool, the way you threw that punch? OOOH"

"..."

"He's right. For example, you can treat wounds, and we currently don't have a doctor, so if any of us gets injured, you can help. That's better than having no treatment right? Even if we have a doctor, I'm sure he'll need assistance sometimes." Zoro added.

I remained silent, maybe... maybe if I go with them, my life wouldn't be so boring anymore... "Fine, but in one condition, if I somehow feel like leaving, you'll let me leave."

"Yahoo! We have another person on board!!" Luffy shouted excitedly

And with that, I'm now the third member of the Straw Hat Pirates.

"So, what's your name?"

"Aolu," I replied.

We left the island right after Coby was successfully enrolled into the navy. My journey began.

A/N: This is an extra short chapter, cus the main focus was just Aolu joining the crew. I don't want to write out details about their every adventure and fights. Plus, most of the older episodes are blurs in my mind, I can't remember the exact things they said or did. So I'll just write out what's 'important' to this fanfic only. Peace ✌
