gomugomunopwn | [Action/Voice]: The Captain Returns

[If you were in town, you may notice a teenage boy with a crap load of cuts and bruises all over his body walk past you. He was only wearing the cotton pants you start off with when first arriving in Luceti, and they were pretty badly stained in his own blood. The way he weaved and stumbled as he walked made it seem like he could fall down from exhaustion at any moment.]

[Once he felt he made it far enough though, he stopped, and inhaled very deeply]

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAT...

[Brb collapsing now. After going through Impel Down, fighting his way through marines (some being giants btw) in order to save his brother, and then being sent back here only to be experimented on was even enough to wear Luffy out. Bother/poke/bring meat?]

[ooc: Also, feel free to correct me on the cotton pants thing. I think it's okay for him to return in cotton pants since it's kinda like beginning a new buuut. >.>

Edit: Also the scream can be heard over the journals and such, since he like brought his journal with him too for more meat deliverers.]

Paw guy?

[...okay, what the hell. He remembers Kuma now? Speaking carefully, now.]

Luffy, I never left. You've been gone from Luceti for less than a week. I don't know what happened in the meantime, but do you ...

Do you remember everything on Shabondy, then?

Really? But I could've sworn you were back home. And how was I gone for less than a week? That was definitely longer.

Yeah, why wouldn't I?

[Ooookay, that's enough to hurt Nami's brain. But he's back. And needs meat, apparently. She knows what that means.]

It can wait, Luffy. Where are you?

Uh, in town somewhere....

That's helpful.

You need us to come find you? With meat?

[Sounds like she's going to anyway. There's doors opening and closing in the background and her voice is a bit distant from the journal for a few seconds.]

Zoro, you here?

Yeah, and make sure you bring a lot of it.

[For now he laid back waiting for her to come to him with a few hundred pounds of food obviously. But something she says catches his attention quickly. It was faint, and in the background, but he could have SWORN she said ~~Zolo~~ Zoro.]

Wh-WHAT?!

[Quickly sitting up now]

What about Zoro!? Is he here!?

[Comes back to pick up the journal just on that last demand. Here, have a grin.]

Yes, he's here. Turned up yesterday.

REALLY?!

With Zoro here, we might be able to go break the barrier and I can get back in time to save Ace!!!

Ace? What happened to Ace?

[We shall carefully not touch on the whole barrier thing just yet.]

[Ah right, he forgot she didn't know]

.....He's in some serious trouble back home, but I'll explain everything to you later.

...okay. I'm on my way. I'll bring as much meat as I can carry.

[She totally will, too. She's just that happy to see you. DON'T GET USED TO IT.]

Yosh! I'll be back to full power in no time!

[Awww, that's so sweet Nami. <3333]

[It's going to be some time later, shopping expedition and finding you and all ... but here, Luffy. Two bags of meat getting dropped in front of you. It's not a sack worth or anything, but Nami's not that strong.]

Welcome back.

NAMI! [He instantly sees the bags of meat and grabs them once they hit the ground.]

Thanks, Nami, you're awesome! [OM NOM NOM OM NOM] Cool....so where's the rest?

[..what a shock.]

You're forgetting who you're talking to. DELICATE ARMS, Luffy. That should be enough to get you on your feet, right? You can go the shop and get the rest there.

[She is right about that getting him to his feet, because he manages to get up]

Ah, yeah. I should be able to get to the shops fine now. [He was just about to run towards the shops when he remembered something. He had been so hungry and exhausted that he almost forgot. The pirates normal giddy expression turned to something more serious this time]

Oi, Nami.... Do you remember when we fought that bear guy...?

[Hmm, she eyes him worriedly for a second. What the hell has he been doing to get himself so messed up? She's like ...a second away from mothering you, Luffy.

And then he mentions Kuma, and she bites her lip, 'cause if he can remember now, she has a feeling what might be on Luffy's mind.]

Yeah, Luffy. I remember.

Back then, I couldn't save a single one of you guys.... Even when you needed my help, I--

[He just kinda stops there and clinches his fist tightly. After being trapped here for almost a year and then only to return to let every single one of his nakama back home down is really heart aching for him.]

That's why, when we fight that guy again, I won't let my crew down a second time. I'm kicking his ass for sure.

[...Luffy.]

[...reaches out and straightens his hat with a grin.]

I'll hold you to that.
