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?

[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.

[Action]

[justicereigns]

That's because they're for Pokemon. And Pokemon are pretty damn strange to begin with.

[Action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Why can pokémon eat people food and people can't eat pokémon food?

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Because people don't have multiple stomachs and therefore extra means of breaking down food we can't digest.

And if you did have more than one stomach, the world would be emptied trying to feed you, bratling.
