This is... strange.
Let's see, I was walking with Nami and Usopp when I stopped to look at this strange shop. Then I met those creepy twins and the old woman, and now I'm among the stars. This island is really weird.
[picks his nose]
Naaamiii! Usooopp! Where are you? [groans] I think I got lost.

I don't like the smell of those twins. Maybe they killed me and this is the afterlife. Though that lady didn't look like an angel to me.
I feel hungry. Is there any food in the afterlife? I don't think I like being dead.
Isn't there a way to go back? I still haven't realized my dream to become the King of Pirates!
Heeey, old lady! Where's the exit? I want to-

[disappears and reappears after a while, holding a piece of roasted meat]
Well, this is interesting. [munches on the meat] So I wasn't dead. Is this the inside of the shop? It didn't look so large from the outside.

...Do you have any more food?

[willofd.livejournal.com]

No, I just brought a light snack.
[holds out the piece of meat] Want some?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Ahh, it's okay. Wait...did you say something about pirates?

[willofd.livejournal.com]

I'm a pirate. [Grins]
My name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm going to become the Pirate King!

Are you from around here?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

...You're a pirate? Really? Like the ones with swords and big ships and high sea adventures?

Oh. It's nice to meet you. I'm Fumie. ...Do you want me to call you Monkey?

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Yes! I don't have a sword because my fist is more powerful than a pistol. But I have a ship and a crew, and we have lots of adventures together.

My name is actually Luffy. Hi Fumie! Are you from Water Seven, from this starry place or from somewhere else?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Are you nice pirates...?

All right, Luffy! And no, I'm from Daikoku. I don't know where this place is or Water Seven.

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Of course, we're all very nice. Though our navigator can get violent at times.

Where is Daikoku? Is it along the Grand Line?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Oh. Good! I was worried you'd be those bloodthirsty pirates.

What's the Grand Line? Daikoku is in Japan. Have you heard of it?

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I only punch evil guys. [Grins]

The Grand Line is the ocean that runs across all the world. Me and my companions are sailing it at the time. I never heard of Japan either, though probably my navigator has. Where is it?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Then that's pretty nice of you.

Oh, I think I know that line. [thinking of the equator] I bet that's dangerous! And Japan is, uhm, it's an island nation near China.

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

I think this is a little too big to be that shop.

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Really? I don't know, I'm not from around here. Are you from Water Seven?

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

I guess you could say I'm not from around here, either.

What's Water Seven? I've never heard of it.

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Water Seven is an island. I don't know much about it, I just arrived there. Then I got into this shop, and now I'm not sure of where I am. [Laughs]

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

I'm definitely not from any islands! All I know about this place myself is that it's the Astral Plane.

[willofd.livejournal.com]

The old woman said the same thing, but I don't understand. How could we get here from a shop?

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

That's a good question. No one I've talked to had any answers to that.

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Then we'll just have to wait and see. [laughs, totally unconcerned]

By the way, my name is Luffy and I'm going to become the King of Pirates. And you are...?

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

You can call me Akagi.

You're a pirate?

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, Akagi.

Yep, I'm a pirate. My pirate ship is just outside here. Though I don't know where here is right now. [laughs again]

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, too!

Someone'll figure it out eventually, I'm sure. In the meantime, this isn't a bad place to be.

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Yes, the stars look very pretty from here. Though there doesn't seem to be any food around.

By the way, where are you from?

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

You're right, this place could use a lot more food! Maybe some chairs, too...

Oh, I'm from a place called No Man's Land!

[willofd.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's a bit uncomfortable standing around like this.

I've never heard of that place, where is that? Along the red line?

[donutsnotwar.livejournal.com]

I haven't heard of it being on any lines. No Man's Land is a desert planet. I'm not quite sure where it'd be on a star chart.
