Romance Dawn part 2
*A pirate ship full of bloodthirsty pirates, led by a woman named Alvida, prepare to board a cruise ship.*
Alvida: Alright men, let’s rob this ship!
Sick man: please chubby lady! Don’t hurt me!
*But the pirates look worried.*
Alvida: Koby, who’s the most beautiful lady in the seas?
Boy: You are lady Alvida!
Alvida: That is correct.
*She hits the sick man with a large club.*
Sick man: Ow! You’re beating up a sick man here!
*She then takes away his crutches.*
Alvida: I don’t care! Prepare to board the ship!
*The pirates board the ship to loot and plunder.*
Sick man: Koby was it? I’ll be honest, you don’t look like a pirate much.
Koby: I know. It’s a long story. But you better cooperate if you want to live.
*They find a barrel and try to carry it.*
Koby: This barrel is heavy.
Sick man: At least it sorta helps me walk normally.
Pirate 1: What have you got there?
Koby: It’s a barrel of alcohol for you, figured We’d take it back to the ship.
Pirate 2: Why don’t you hand it over to us…? We’ll make sure it’s safe.
Sick man: But the pirate lady will kill us if she finds out!
Pirate 3: She won’t find out if you two keep your traps shut.
Pirate 1: Boy, this is heavy.
*But Luffy bursts out of the barrel.*
Luffy: Oh did I sleep good!
Sick man: Who are you?!
Luffy: My name is Monkey D. Luffy. Who the heck are you guys? And why is that guy asleep?
Pirate 2: you knocked him out!
Luffy: I did?
Pirate 1: Are you toying us?
*They draw their swords. But Luffy beats them up and they run away.*
Luffy: What's up with those guys?
Koby: We’ve got to run before more of their buddies come!
Sick man: Hold up, what just happened?! You easily beat them up. Why were you in that barrel? So many questions! *cough*
Luffy: Oh that, my ship got caught in a whirlpool and I hid in that barrel to stay safe. Now where’s somewhere I can get food?
Sick man: Oh, there’s food back there.
Koby: No! We’ve got to get you out of here!
*but Luffy goes to the pantry and starts eating.*
Luffy: So who are you guys?
Sick man: I’m Mitchel Midkövt Morbius.
Luffy: Why do you look like a vampire?
Morbius: What?! I’m not a vampire! It’s just… ever since I was a kid, I had a rare blood disease. It made me weak and I can barely walk. But my intelligence is exceptional. I may be young, but I got my first Nobel prize when I discovered a cure for pancreatic cancer.
Koby: That sounds impressive.
Luffy: So have you found a cure for your illness?
Morbius: Not yet. That’s the reason I set sail on this voyage. I may have found a way to cure my disease… but I’m stuck here with these pirates.
Luffy: And why are you here, kid?
Koby: I was on a fishing boat. But I didn’t know it was meant for pirates. In exchange for them not killing me, I have to live my life on the ship as a cabin boy.
Luffy: You’re pretty dumb, you know that?
Morbius: Yeah, that’s pretty stupid.
Koby: You guys are brutally honest…
Luffy: Anywho, I’ve eaten enough. Now it’s time for me to get another boat.
Morbius: May I ask, why are you on a voyage in the seas?
Luffy: I’m on a voyage… to become king of the pirates.
Morbius: What?! But in order to do that you would have to find the world’s greatest treasure…
Koby: The one piece!
Luffy: Yup! And in order to do that, I need a crew.
Koby: But that’s crazy! You’ll die if you attempt that!
Luffy: What have I got to lose? I decided to become the pirate king long ago. And if I die trying to achieve it, I die.
Morbius:… I can relate to that.
Koby: So… do you think I have what it takes to achieve my dreams?
Luffy: What are they?
Koby I want to become a marine. And hunt down pirates like Alvida.
Morbius:… Hahahaha!!! Sorry! Man! You don’t look like the navy type! I get it! Sorry. Just wow. Okay, not trying to crush your dreams. I’m just humored!
Luffy: And what’s your dream?
Morbius: my dream? Aside from curing my disease, I want to make the world a better place. As a kid, I was beaten up in the orphanage I grew up in. Unfortunately, that’s how most of the world is like. I just want to punch those bastards who do the little guy wrong. The corrupt, rich and powerful.
Luffy: The only one who can stand in the way of your guys’ dreams is only you.
*But Alvida breaks through the floor above.*
Alvida: Who said they were going to hunt me down?!
Morbius: Oh shit! She’s here! Give me back my crutches!
*he walks very slowly, but gets slapped.*
Alvida: Koby, who’s the most beautiful woman in these seas?
Koby: don’t worry! I have the answer!
Luffy: Koby, who’s that ugly lady?
*The pirates are shocked.*
Morbius:…. Oh no he pushed her buttons.
Alvida: Who do you think you are calling me that?!
*She swings her club, but Luffy grabs Morbius and Koby and jumps above the ship.*
Pirate: Get them!
*The pirates attack Luffy, but he starts beating them up.*
Morbius: Damn! He’s good at combat.
*But more pirates gang up on Luffy.*
Luffy: It’s not nice of you guys to gang up on me!
*Luffy stretches his arm and grabs onto the mast.*
Luffy: Just kidding. Gum gum rocket!
*Luffy retracts his arm and punches all of them.*
Morbius: How?! How the?! How is that possible?! That’s physically impossible! How did you do that?!
Luffy: Oh that? I’m a rubber man.
*stretches his cheek.*
Luffy: See?
Morbius: Rubber?! But how is that possible?! It’s against all laws of science!
Koby: Are you magic?
Alvida: So, you must have eaten one of the devil fruits.
Luffy: That's right. I ate the gum gum fruit.
Morbius: Devil fruits? I thought they were a myth?
Alvida: Personally, I’ve never seen evidence of them. Until today.
Morbius: Devil fruits. Mysterious anomalies sent to give people extraordinary abilities. Like breathing fire or causing tsunamis.
Alvida: So what are you? A bounty hunter like Roronoa Zoro?
Luffy: I’m a pirate.
Morbius: Roronoa zoro? Where have I heard that name before?
Alvida: A pirate? Haha! All by yourself?
Luffy: It's just me today, I’m going to need a crew with more than… ten people.
Alvida: So since we’re both pirates and since we’re not under the same flag, that would make us enemies right?
Koby: We should leave. You saw how strong she is with her club.
Morbius: Yeah! And she’s mean! She took away my crutches!
*Koby thinks about what Luffy said.*
Koby: Wait…
Alvida: You got something to say?
Koby: you’re the ugliest thing in the sea!
*She gets pissed.*
Alvida: What did you say?
Koby: I’m leaving, and I’m going to join the marines to beat up dirty pirates like you! And no one is going to stop me!
Morbius: You go dude! The ugliest thing I’ve seen!
Alvida: You little brats!
*She tries to strike them, but Luffy gets in the way and her club has no effect on him.*
Morbius: Oh jeez, thanks man!
Luffy: Like I told you before… I’m made of rubber. Gum gum pistol!
*He punches Alvida off the ship and she goes flying very far.*
Morbius: Yeah, that’s what you get!
*Morbius sees his crutches.*
Morbius: There you are.
*He grabs them.*
Luffy: Hey.
*The pirates look scared.*
Luffy: Give Koby here a boat. He’s going to join the marines and you can’t stop him.
Pirate: Sure thing!
Morbius: Amingo, that was a nice thing you did.
Luffy: You’re welcome.
*But marine ships are seen in the distance.*
Luffy: Now's your chance to join. As for me, I’ve gotta get out of here.
Koby: I can’t join them now. If they see me in here, they’ll arrest me like the rest.
Morbius: True. Can we come with you?
Luffy: sure. I could use the company.
*They all manage to get on a small row boat and flee before the marines get them.*
Morbius: Alright! Well, my first voyage definitely didn’t seem too bad. That was exciting.
Luffy: Yup, and to think this is only the first day of my voyage.
Morbius: You too, huh? So where to next? What’s the nearest land mass?
Koby: There should be an island nearby. And if you’re after the one piece Luffy, then you’re talking about traveling the whole seas.
Luffy: Yup. And that’s why I need a strong crew.
Morbius: Well, hopefully you will find your strong crew. But I can’t shake that name off, Roronoa Zoro… any idea who that is?
Koby: He’s a pirate hunter. I heard he’s on the island we’re heading to. He’s at a marine base.
Luffy: Must be weak if he’s been captured.
Koby: No way! He’s as violent as a demon!
Luffy: Hehe. Then I should ask him to join my crew.
Morbius: Oh yeah, I remember now. He’s the beast who caught a lot of bounties. Not to mention he probably killed some of them. You seriously want him to be a part of your crew?
Luffy: If he’s as strong as you say he is, then yes. Maybe he’ll say yes.
Morbius: I hope so. For your sake anyway.
