AAAAACEEEE!!! SAAAABBOOOOO!!!!

[And silence, save for Magikarp splashing in the grass. Luffy whines and inhales again.]

SAAAABOOOOOO!!! AAAAAAACEEEEE!!!!

[...nothing.]

Stupid Fish... You don't think my brothers left Violet City already, do you? [There's more splashing. And then an idea hits!]

SMOOKEEEYYYY!! BIIIRRRDDYYYY KAAAAZ!

Where'd Sabo and Ace go?

Uh-uh. I thought they were with you!

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Sorry brat. No such luck. And I've been hunting for them.

[Action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

[He grabs his fish and runs closer.]

You don't know where they are? WHY DON'T YOU KNOW?!

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Because they aren't here. The general speculation is they went home. It's happened to other people here too.

[Action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

They... they went back?

You're wrong! They wouldn't leave without me! I know Ace used to let me fall off the cliff and stuff but he and Sabo are nicer now!

[Action]

[justicereigns]

... He did what?

Look, they didn't have a choice. It's just like showing up here.

[Action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Well I only fell off once. And I got back a week later and I didn't even get in trouble!

But that's not fair! They can't leave me by myself! They're the only brothers I have!

[Action]

[justicereigns]

.... All right then.

Maybe they'll come back.

[Action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

[You probably don't want to know more, Smokey.]

They will? But that... means... I'm stuck until they come back...

[Action]

[justicereigns]

[He really doesn't.]

No, we'll just do what everyone else does. Keep moving forward. Don't you want to prove to your brothers how much stronger you are when they get back?

[Action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh... I'm... I'm gonna be stronger...

[Except... he's wibbling... yeah he's gonna cry now.]

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Oi. Men don't cry.

[Picks Luffy up with a sigh and puts him on his shoulders.]

[Action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

I'm not gonna cry!

[But he rubs his eyes furiously and drops his chin on Smoker's head. Sniffle sniffle.]

[Action]

[justicereigns]

[Gently ruffles his head.]

Good. They'll be fine. And you have your idiot cook and Robin here.

[Action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

[He'll mope, though.]

Uh-huh... I... i have Robin and Sanji!

[Action]

[justicereigns]

[Smoker will pretend not to give a damn.]

And a fish.

[Action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

A-and a monkey, and a... um... balloon... and... uh...

A green phallus!

[Grin... grin... Suuulk.] Smokey, I'm hungry.

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Yeah. How do you feel about a Chinese buffet?

[Action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Buffet! I wanna go!

[Action]

[justicereigns]

At least you're easy to please.

[Action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Huh? I'm just hungry.

[Action]

[justicereigns]

I mean you're not picky.

[Action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Oh. Too many foods taste good! Except those berries. Those are kinda gross and they do weird stuff.

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Right. Don't eat those again.

[Action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

I won't! They were kinda gross. The other ones tasted funny too.
