(I'm not involving the meeting of the monkey guys. I'm not a fan ngl)

"Nami~ Let me join you guys!!" I whined while pulling on her pant leg. Nami, Zoro, and Luffy were about to go into Mock town, a little town on the island Jaya. Nami was going to get information about her log pose. It was supposedly pointing to an island in the sky named Skypiea. I wanted to know if they were fake because on my list of few fears are;

Sea Kings. (and large water animals)

Heights.

(Cats as well but we're not going to talk about that)

"UGH! Fine, but you have to stick to my side. No matter what!"

"Yay! (Y/N)'s joining us!" Luffy hugged me from behind, squishing his face into my neck. Nami sighed and started walking with Zoro. I decided last minute that I was going to wear my skates, slipping them on and hanging my normal sandals from the bag I still had on.

"Hey, Luffy."

"Hm? What's us (Y/N)?"

"Hold on tight."

This got Luffy fired up. He wrapped his arms around my neck and wrapped his legs around my torso tenfold. I took off like a light, Luffy blowing behind me like a flag in the wind. We zoomed between Nami and Zoro, blowing Nami's hair as Luffy cheered to go faster.

I was resting at the edge of the forest, right next to the edge of Mock town. Luffy was laughing hysterically as Nami and Zoro finally approached. I felt a grab on my collar as Zoro stood me upright.

"Get up." He groaned. It sounded soft but still demanding. I walked next to him, pondering the strange swordsman. Now that I thought about it, I didn't know even the basic stuff about him, and that kind of upset me.

"Hey, Zoro?"

"Hm." He welcomed the question.

"How old are you?"

He looked at her smiling face, but complied, "19."

I stumbled a bit but continued walking.

"Really?! You look, like 25."

"What's that supposed to mean?" His hand shifted to his sword, a slight grin creeping when he saw her reaction.

"O-OH! No no no nothing bad I just think you look...u-uh...mature?" I stuttered, not wanting to turn into a freaking paper snowflake.

"Nice save, dipshit." He smirked, now watching where he was going. His hand never moved from his sword, and I could tell he also thought something was weird about the town.

I was dragged away by Nami and we started on a little information adventure.

And just like magic, I got separated from her, greeeaaat...

I think Zoro is rubbing off on me, I need a drink. I entered this bar called the wild cherry.

I noticed the building was quite tall, so I asked the host which floor had the best drinks.

"Oh, that would be floor 4, but pirates usually hang about there, not a place for a fine lady like yourself." He meant it as a compliment, not in a flirtatious way, but that still didn't change the fact that I don't like being called weak if it's not by yours truly.

I marched to the stairs, much to his complaint, and went straight up. It was difficult with roller skates, but I managed...

...barely...

~~~

I rolled my way to the exit of the stairwell, rolling slowly, but with a purpose. I sat on the far end of the bar, so my back was against a wall to look at my surroundings. I was watching a game between a man with gray hair and a blondie in pink. I recognized the game as blackjack, and the gray-haired man won, yet barely. I had to stop myself from snickering. The blondie would've won if he... played his cards right! Get it?
