[Luffy appears on the astral plane carrying a large bag and jingles it.]

I've tried to explain to my friends that I met people from other worlds, but they won't believe me. [I wonder why?] I also tried showing them something I got from Agito but they still don't believe me, so I had an idea.

I'd like to get more items from different worlds, to show my friends. I can trade you these gold coins, they're from an ancient civilization from the island in the sky or whatnot. Or I could get you something else from my world.

Oh, yes, good idea; it would be nice to have an item from another world. [reaches inside his robes and takes a galleon out of his pocket] Shall we trade a gold coin for a gold coin?

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Sounds fair~ [Hands Albus a gold coin and takes the galleon.]

I don't think I've met you before... I'm Luffy.

[dwellonschemes.livejournal.com]

[takes the gold coin. smiles and nods once at him] It's nice to meet you, Luffy. I am Albus Dumbledore.

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you too!

[Cocks his head to one side and looks at Albus's clothes.] Uh... and what planet are you from?

[dwellonschemes.livejournal.com]

[smiles and laughs softly once] I am from planet Earth. And yourself?

[willofd.livejournal.com]

My planet is all covered with oceans.

Oh, I've met other people from Earth. But they're all dressed differently from you.

[dwellonschemes.livejournal.com]

[smiles] What year were they from? I do think that will have played a part in their dress.

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Really? [Jawdrop.]

I'm not sure, but Fumie said she's from the future. She's given me this game, look~ [Happily shows the game boy.] But why do you ask? You come from the same planet, don't you?

[contract_star]

My comrades couldn't see the shop, but they can't see objects, either? And I didn't know we could actually bring things here...Interesting.

Alright, then. [Pats his pockets. Remembered to bring his weapons this time, but there's no way he's trading those. But he does find a 100 yen coin in one pocket.]

Not sure it's an equal trade, but will this do? It's all I have right now.

[willofd.livejournal.com]

[Thinks about it for a moment] I'm not sure if they can see objects from other worlds, but it's worth a try!

[contract_star]

Exactly. I'd like to test the limits of this "experiment."

[Holds out the 100 yen.] It's a trade, then?

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Sure! And here is your coin~

I'm Luffy, and you are...?

[contract_star]

[Takes coin--yay, gold!--and passes the yen to Luffy.]

Nice to meet you; I'm Li Shengshun.

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you... er... do you mind if I just call you Li?

[contract_star]

Haha, that'll be fine.

Now to find out if anyone can see this gold. Maybe then they'll believe me about the Astral Plane.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

G-Gold coins?? Real gold?? [money omg] Sure! What kind of stuff do you want?

[willofd.livejournal.com]

I don't know... Oh wait, you come from the future, right? Then something future-ific?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Future-y for a pirate, huh? Okay, hang on! [drops off and comes back holding a game boy-ish thing. This was totally her brother's, too] How's this? It's a machine you can play games on.

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Wow! Agito gave me something similar too... thank you! [Turns it on and starts playing.] Oh, it's a different game! Fuuun~

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

No problem! It's pretty fun.

Sooo, uhm, you have gold coins or something? I bet a pirate like you must have a ton of booty!

[willofd.livejournal.com]

[Still playing.]

Yeah, we got lots of gold and jewels in Skypiea, and we're going to use it to repair our ship. Our navigator keeps all the money, I just borrowed a few coins to trade. [Is now slightly worried that he might get punched if Nami finds out.]

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

So, maybe she wouldn't mind if you started up a trade business?

[willofd.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I don't understand business very much. And I don't have anything to trade.

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

Ah. Well... I've got some munny... Or I could probably get some Sea-Salt ice cream for you.

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Mmmh, ice cream... sounds yummy!

Oh, but I wanted to show it to my friends so maybe it's not a good idea... ['Cause he'd eat it on the spot, the dummy.] Anything from your world is fine!

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

[laughs] Okay, well.

Here then. [Roxas pulls out a few coins from his munny pouch and holds them out to Luffy.]

[willofd.livejournal.com]

More strange money! [Happily examines it]

Oh, here is the coin... Roxas, is it?

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's me. [Roxas stares at the gold coin before putting it in his pouch with the others. ♥]

[willofd.livejournal.com]

[Happy!Luffy is happy~]

Wait 'till I show my friends... I have so many different coins now.
Right - where are you from?

[lamb_of_gold]

I'm afraid I have little to offer you - just stardust (which I need) and a few drachmas.

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Real stardust? From the stars? Did you get it from here? [Jawdrop. Looks at the stars around them, then stretches his arm trying to reach the stars]

[Blank stare] What are... drachmas?

[lamb_of_gold]

*Smile Not quite from the stars, no. It's a very precious mineral from my world that I use in my craft.

Drachmas are the currency I use. *holds out a handful*

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Oooh. [Luffy looks a bit disappointed and glances back at the stars dejectedly.] And what is your craft?

More weird money, wow! Deal! [Holds out a coin.]

[lamb_of_gold]

*smiles* If you think about it, everything is made from stardust. I'm a blacksmith of sorts.

*takes the coin and hands over several of his own*Those are quite old - be careful.

[willofd.livejournal.com]

A blacksmith? That's great! [And now the idiot is excited again.]
I don't have a blacksmith in my crew and you look pretty strong, would you like to join us?

[lamb_of_gold]

I'm afraid I'll have to decline - I've never been to sea, for one thing, and for another, I'd be thoroughly unable to see your boat in the first place. I'll be willing to take commissions from you, however. .

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Awww, are you sure? It would be fun, we're about to get a carpenter and then a musician...

[lamb_of_gold]

It does sound like fun, but, as I said, it would be quite impossible. However, should you need anything forged, tell me and I will see that it gets done.
