[Luffy stares at the device for a moment. The Aipom sitting on his shoulders is gnawing on his hat.]

Stop that, stupid! Just cuz I couldn't eat you doesn't mean you can eat my hat.

[He goes back to staring at the device. The view turns to the boy's little sandals, and his knees, and then back up. He's staring inquisitively at the thing... nothing. Huh.]

...what's this supposed to do? And my monkey. And this thing. Is this thing on?

[He pushes something, and his eyes widen, his expression rather surprised.]

AM I REALLY TEN?! This thing says I'm ten! I'M TEN NOW! I gotta tell my brothers!

ACE! AAAAAACE!!! SAAAABOOOO!!

Straw-Hat??

What the hell???

You're ten?

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I'm ten now! I was seven yesterday. That's so cool!

[justicereigns]

... Are you sure you weren't seventeen?

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

SEVENTEEN?! Why would I be that old?! I just gotta be three years older to beat up my brothers!

MONKEY, STOP EATING MY HAT! SHANKS GAVE IT TO ME! IT'S NOT FOOD!

[justicereigns]

... No reason.

..........................
The fuck?

Shanks? Red-hair Shanks?! Just how many famous connections do you have boy?!

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Huh? Oh, yeah! Shanks is my friend, he's awesome! He saved me from this mean pirate when I ate the fruit and he let me keep his hat! I'm gonna give it back when I'm a better pirate than him. I promised him!

[justicereigns]

Strangely, that explains a lot.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Explains what?

[justicereigns]

You being a pirate. It's abnormal otherwise. Doesn't fit a lot of a pattern.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

I'm not one yet! I gotta wait until I get bigger, but I'm gonna be the Pirate King and have a big crew and it's gonna be awesome!

Ace and Sabo don't believe me though.

[justicereigns]

Who's Sabo?

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Sabo's my brother!

[justicereigns]

There's even more of you?!

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

More? There's only us. But they aren't here so I'm all by myself. [D:]

[justicereigns]

I've met Portgas... err... Ace... before.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Really?

[justicereigns]

Don't look so excited about it. It was... [Your fault.] Not under the best of circumstance.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

What happened?

[justicereigns]

I was trying to arrest someone and he got in the way when some moron threw me into him.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Are you a marine? My gramps is a marine!

[justicereigns]

I am.

As I said. You have a lot of connections.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Really? I don't know that many people.

Hey mister! What's your name? I'm Luffy!

[justicereigns]

Smoker.

I'm going to call you Straw-Hat.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Because of my hat?

I wanna call you Smokey!

[justicereigns]

Because you want to be a pirate because of it.

Somehow I'm not surprised.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Okay!

Smokey, are you on this trip too?

[Because Luffy doesn't wanna be alone anymore.]

[justicereigns]

[Smoker was just about to invite him along. To "keep an eye on him." And because alksdjsalkdj dawww too cute damn it.]

Looks like it. Find either of your brothers yet?

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Nope. But they might show up. We get split up a lot.

Can I go with you until they get here?

[justicereigns]

Hn. Sabo as much of a terror as you two are?

... Yeah, kid. Where are you? I'll come get you. [Mutters something about a bird squawking, see his upcoming post to explain.]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

[And giggling. He likes being called a 'terror'.] Sabo's really cool! He's like Ace.

I'm in grass!

[justicereigns]

[Oh joy.] ... God damn it, that just figures.

Yeah great kid, very descriptive. Can you wave your hand or something? Actually never mind, I just realized you're even shorter than usual. I really wish I had my devil fruit.

All right, I'll do what I can. I'm wearing my marine jacket, you remember what those look like, right? But mine's shorter than normal and I've got blue jeans. You'll probably hear a red-headed girl squawking like crazy. She's apparently hitched a ride.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

I think I see you! Okay, I'm gonna come over now.

[powerfail.livejournal.com]

Huh? Why's it eating your hat, little guy?

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Because I tried to eat it earlier. I told him I was sorry though.

[powerfail.livejournal.com]

Whoa... I didn't try that with mine. Then again he doesn't look very tasty.

... [Loud stomach growl goes here.]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

What did you get?

[...snicker.]

[powerfail.livejournal.com]

Um... it's a ghost thing.

[Siiigh.] Man, I'm almost hungry enough to try and eat it.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

A ghost?!

I don't think you can eat it. Maybe try breaking into one of the houses?

[powerfail.livejournal.com]

Uh huh! It looks like one, and it floats around.

...aw, man. I don't want to. I haven't been a thief since I became a demon lord.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

You're a demon lord?!

[powerfail.livejournal.com]

Yep!
