~Y/n pov~

"It's pretty fragile here.." Nami noted as parts of the cliff crumbled off.

"Nami, be careful." I told her.

She nodded.

"Look there."

Zoro and I walked towards the edge of the cliff to see what she was looking at.

Luffy was at the bottom.

He probably fell. I knew a fall like that wouldn't kill him.

"Oi, Y/n." Zoro called after me as I jumped off the cliff.

I used some water to cushion my fall.

Now I was next to him, I could hear Luffy snoring.

He was asleep.

The others came down the cliff and looked at Luffy.

Zoro smirked when he heard him snoring and jabbed him with the blunt side of his sword.

Nami jumped back when Luffy suddenly sat up and yawned.

"Morning." He smiled.

I laughed slightly, "It's not morning. You fell off the cliff, you idiot."

Luffy pouted at me, "So mean."

I picked up his hat and placed it back on his head.

The boy jumped up and quickly hugged me before pulling away and grabbing me arm.

"Let's go." He cheered.

"Go where?" I tilted my head in confusion.

"Beat up Klahadore."

I raised at eyebrow at this.

"He's a bad guy." Luffy proceeded to tell us everything he had overheard.

"Why did you tell them that?" Luffy asked Usopp.

"Because I'm a liar." He sighed, "They were never going to believe me from the start. I was too optimistic."

"Even so, the truth is the truth." Zoro stated.

"Pirates really are going to come, aren't they?" Nami asked although she already knew the answer.

"Yeah." Usopp responded, "They're definitely gonna show up. But everyone thinks it's a lie."

"Then, let's beat up all the pirates." I told him, "That way, the villagers will all be safe."

"Huh?" Usopp asked.

"Yeah." Luffy grinned, "We'll help you."

"But why?"

"There's a whole bunch of bad guys, right?" Luffy asked.

"Scared is written all over your face." Zoro commented.

Usopp jumped up, "Me, scared?! I'm perfectly okay with lots of bad guys or whatever, because I'm Captain Usopp, brave warrior of the sea!"

His legs were shaking violently, giving away that he was frightened.

"It's almost daybreak." Zoro pointed out, "They'll be coming soon."

I stared out at the sea.

There were no ships in sight.

"Are you sure they're coming?" I asked Usopp.

"They'll definitely show up. Lots of 'em." He replied.
