Demon straw hat Luffy

Follow the Sea Train to Water Seven!

Once the King's Gourd got a bit closer to the station, "Wow! I can see train tracks through the ocean water~!" Chopper shouted off with cute kid voices filled with excitement and amazement. "How did they do this, Luffy~!?"

"I haven't got all the details but apparently these tracks are extremely buoyant as they won't sink, even with the weight of a train loaded with cargo and passengers." Luffy responded. "Water Seven is not only famous in the Grand Line for its carpenters and craftsmen but also for this train system. We may even take one to St Polar as Shanks said over the phone." Luffy muttered that last sentence under his breath.

"Wait! There is also a giant frog doing the front crawl!" Usopp called out and soon, everyone was saying that same sentence exactly. Luffy looked a bit annoyed, and not just with this mimicking act.

"YOKOZUNA! GET OVER HERE NOW!" Luffy let out a roar that shook the ocean something fierce and got the frog to freeze in mid-front crawl. Not to mention that it scared the entire crew shitless. When the massive amphibian came to the front where Luffy was impatiently tapping his foot. "How many times do I have to tell you to stop challenging the train!? Even I wasn't that reckless before!" The giant frog looked down in shame, not even noticing that Umi was out an about after hearing that roar.

After one good scolding, Luffy stopped with a sigh. "Still, I am glad that we ran into you. We need to speak with Kokoro about getting our ship into Water Seven. It is finally that time." The frog nodded and started to do the front crawl but towards the station. "Nami turn the ship portside and then straight!" Luffy was still in a better mood and didn't even bother to turn to face his crew, still a bit frightened by this sudden change in character. Nami wanted to help ease up their captain despite the freight and moved the steering wheel in the giant frog location; Chopper wanted to help but couldn't do just as much.

Once they got within docking distance, Luffy jumped ship to land on the base. "Come on guys, we need to get those directions and try not to stare. This old lady was there when the Sea Train was first made and even saw the Oro Jackson being built." A few others followed their captain just in time to hear,

"Na-ga-ga-ga-ga! I see that our friend the idiot frog has turned the little Youngster sour! Hic~!" Out came an old lady with long thick ponytails, a grin that looked frozen on her face and even smelled drunk. "You are looking good for yourself, Youngster. You even got your own ship! Hic~!" Luffy had something of a grin through his frown.

"If you are going to get drunk on us, I wish that you will have some good taste." Luffy responded, rudely swiping the old lady's wine bottle and dumped the rest of it into the ocean. "There, try it now." The old lady took a swipe and let out a mighty breath, looking just a bit sober.

"Good stuff, Youngster, thanks!" And she drank away. The Straw Hats couldn't believe that she could be quite the drunk at her age and not to mention her...waistline.

"Is that you Big Brother? I heard you angry at Yokozuna. That really scared me and my cat." Luffy turned to see a little girl with a blue furred rabbit truly looking scared. This made the captain feel guilty.

"Yeah, sorry about that Chimney. Its nice to see you again." Luffy made a real grin and rubbed the little girl on the head. Chimney is a young and vibrant girl. She wears her green hair in pigtails that always seem to stand upward, and are puffy at the end, along with sandals and a short white shirt over a striped dress, of orange and red stripes. And when she let out a giggle at the sign of affection, it didn't please a certain reindeer and a girl from the sky one bit.

"Hey! Luffy is my Big Brother!" Chopper shouted as grabbed Luffy by the waist and pulled him away from Chimney like she had the plague. "OWW~!" Nevertheless, the captain did not appetite that bout of overprotectiveness.
