[Action/Voice]: Gdit Nami...

[He'd been searching for a looong time now. Running, and flinging himself across nearly every part of Luceti he could manage. Sometimes going over some areas even twice or three times. But he hasn't come across Nami yet. He doesn't know where Aku's keeping her. How is that possible? He's searched like everywhere. But in a sense, Luffy had somewhat expected not to be able to find her. Aku was smart enough to hold her some place no one would be able to find. Although he knew he couldn't take him on by himself if he were to find the location, he could atleast tell the others where Nami was being kept. But yeah, no such luck. Luffy is just freaking exhausted right now and his whole body aches. And when LUFFY'S body aches from being overworked you KNOW somethings wrong.

He's obtained a few cuts and bruises from being in the forest, but nothing too serious, and his clothes are pretty dirty, by now as one could expect but overall a nap is all he needs. He's going to have to practically drag himself around town in order to get back to the Strawhat's house so feel free to notice him then before he gets home. Once he gets to the house he is just going to go over on the couch and collapse on it. He might be tired, but he'll be making sure he's not followed to the house. That's kinda important]

Oi, Flynn...

[Let Flynn fix that filter up a bit for you.] Luffy?

... Nami's gone.

That green faced bastard took her...

Edited 2010-03-31 17:38 (UTC)

[Green faced bastard... which was Aku, right? And for Luffy to try and filter specifically to him, especially after something like this... Flynn knew what Luffy was getting at. However, that didn't change the fact that he was at a loss for words for a minute.]

... I'm sorry.

I thought you were watching her... SHE TOLD ME YOU WERE!

It... It wasn't as often as you would have liked. [...] Luffy, I-- [He can't even figure out what to say. He betrayed Luffy's trust.]

When we get her back... I'll just watch her myself.

[Dammit, Luffy. That really hurt.] If there's anything I could do. To make it up.

... I need someone who can hurt him by doing holy damage. If I try to get Nami back with just Moro's help, he might get away.

[Well. There's always Holy Lance.] I might be able to help.

You can do holy attacks?

I have one in mind that could be useful.

[Brook hears Luffy come in, but he doesn't go out to the living room right away. Everyone needs their space, right?]

[Yeah... no. That's not how things work. He's a musician, and that job isn't just for entertainment. At times like these, what it all boils down to is the easing of burdens when they become to heavy to bear. Brook's sure he couldn't help himself for long against something like this, even if he wanted to.]

[He finds a blanket and lays it neatly over one arm before going to the kitchen to fetch a glass of juice. As he walks to the living room, he unfolds the blanket and drops it over his captain before taking a seat on the arm of the couch]

You were out there for quite some time, Captain. [Longer than him, and he stayed out longer than he had planned. Here's a glass if you want it.] You must be thirsty.

[He feels so bad. Aku captured Nami and is doing God knows what to her, but here he is sitting on the couch too tired to even move much. He should be stronger than this. He'll reach weakly for the glass and take it, drinking a few sips]

Thanks, Brook.

[That he isn't just gulping it down is a testament to just how worn out he is. Brook nods his head politely at the thanks, then crosses one knee over the other.]

I cannot fault your reasons for doing so, but it appears that you're beginning to wear yourself out, Luffy-san.

[He knows he's wearing himself out. It's his body's fault for not being able to keep up. Since he had been training, he thought he'd be able to go longer periods without resting]

... It's my fault. I was so busy trying to get stronger that... I didn't think about protecting her myself. [Those aren't tears slowly building up shut up geez. Sure he had assigned Flynn, but when he bumped into Nami that one time and Flynn wasn't there he should've been able to figure out that he hadn't been watching out for her. That she was just lying for him. And now it was too late. He can't find her and has no clue where she is. He's starting to realize that if he wants to protect his nakama in this place, he can't just get stronger, but he has to be smarter too.]

[What tears you talking about, man - he sees nothing. /pat] I'm afraid I am unable to picture you as a kidnapper, and unless you in fact are, don't believe for one second that the blame lies with you. [Glancing down at you now] You have done what you could to protect all the members of this crew, and knowing you you're going to find a way to do more. As long as you continue to do so I have no doubt we will get her back.

[He wants to do more, but he just doesn't know how without sacrificing something. If he stays with the crew he won't really be able to get stronger. But if he tries to get stronger the crew is in more danger. He's already tried to do both and it didn't work out...

He'll just stay silent for now]

[The crew can't get stronger if you're going to try to fight their battles for them, Luffy. It's not just you.]

This place... it really is a shame what this place has done to you, Captain.

It was fine until all these bastards started showing up.

That much isn't about to change, whether or not we remain here or are returned to the Grand Line. We're bound to encounter more of that dangerous sort in the future. We're pirates; that is to be expected.

[He rests his head on the arm of the sofa]

Maybe Hancock can give us all Haki training then.

I'm not certain if it's something anyone can learn, Captain. But training in general isn't so bad of an idea. I cannot speak for the others, but I wouldn't mind it at all. I'd likely do well to build up some muscle strength.

Ah, but being a skeleton, I have no muscles at all! Yohohoho!

[Mmm, Sanji was planning on talking to you eventually. He'd just... hoped not like this]

... Oi. [he can guess the answer, but still asks] Hungry?

[With Nami gone, he really doesn't want to smile or eat or anything. He's really about to lose it in this place with all this crap constantly hitting him in the face. But he does recall what Zoro told him. Who will the crew look to if he falters? He's the captain. So he lifts his head and gives a weak smile]

You cooked dinner?

[leans against the couch, hands in his pockets. Well damn, if Luffy is gonna try, he might as well, too. A bemused smile appears on his face]

No, but I'll take requests this once.

Can you make lobster ribs and apple chicken?

[... the second one, fine, but the first--]

Oi, Luffy.

Lobsters don't have ribs. [and why did a shudder just creep down his back?]

If you don't know, I could teach you how to make them...

[Idiot, lobsters have no ribs, and sticking in ribs from another animal is--]

Alright.

All you have to do is get a lobster in one hand and a rib in the other hand. And then you push the rib through the lobster and heat it in the oven for 15 minutes.

You didn't learn how to make that?

[... his dignity as a cook is being shattered]

Idiot! It doesn't work that way!

Why not? It worked fine when I did it!

First off, it takes longer than fifteen shitty minutes to cook ribs properly.

And let me guess - you were the only one who ate them.

Yeah, but I think it was just because they weren't very hungry!
