The Fistbump Duo

You stepped up to the two of them, smiling in thanks to Luffy which he returned with a large grin that overtook his face before you turned towards the stout man. Your smile sharpening to a smirk as your cap shadowed your face slightly. The man froze as he looked up at you, your head tilted down at him.

"So, where'd ya get this huh?" You asked, tone light but holding a quality that the man recognized as a threat as his body broke in cold sweat. "You must have quite a good supplier yeah? You had a lot of bags..."

"I—look, I—I don't—please don't tell anyone about this!" The man pleaded, moving his legs underneath him as he kneeled to you and Luffy. "I'm going—they'll put me in jail for the rest of my life—! Please don't tell anyone! I'll do anything!"

You and Luffy paused, looking at each other, before a feral smile appeared on Luffy's face while a smug smirk appeared on yours.

"Feed me!"

"That," You agreed, leaning your upper body towards the man as you smirked with your shadowed face due to your cap made your (e/c) eyes shine. "And tell me who gave that to you!"

"Feed me!" Luffy repeated, his hands in the air and the man stared dumbly at the boy before turning towards you in question.

You rose a brow at him, frowning slightly as you placed a hand on Luffy's head and rubbed it. All with a serious expression.

"Yeah, feed him first. Duh. Can't you tell he's hungry?"

"Yeah, weirdo!"

"Pfft, he is pretty weird huh?" The both of you laughed and the man now stared both of you dumbly with a sweatdrop, wondering what kind of intimidators you guys are.

He quickly went inside the shack and gave Luffy a bento box of onigiri before turning towards you and stating he got all the stash from an agent of Baroque Works. Your eyes slitted at the name, remembering your suspicion from some time ago about them being so close to Alabasta and their numbers seeming to rise rapidly. You internally frowned, not knowing how to feel at how well hidden all this was from you. Either anger or impressed. Either way, you're going to have to talk to Crocodile but first...

Both you and Luffy turned towards the man, Luffy already eating an onigiri as the man called out towards them. Thanking them that they won't tell on him to the World Government.

"Ah," you grinned cheekily at him. "Didn't we say?"

"Can't do that anyways," Luffy grinned around his onigiri, rice all over his mouth. "I'm a pirate!"

The both of you turned back to head straight forward back to Nanohana, the man's jaw dropping onto the ground as he realizes he's just been tricked. You walked forward for a bit, Luffy already finished with his food and having his tongue out from the heat as he held onto a large stick he grabbed from the ground and using it as a makeshift cane. You weren't any better, you were sweating from the sweltering heat that always greeted you in this country. A fun and interesting country it may be, with its interesting food and customs, but the weather was sure horrible. You weren't really thinking much about that though.

You glanced at the panting Luffy, him trying to keep pace with you as he complained about how starving he was and how hot it is and if you're sure we're going the right way.

You slightly frowned. Worry starting to form small in your chest.

"Say, Luffy." He made a sound that could be taken as acknowledgment or a dying bird, either way, you kept going. "Back in the ship, you guys didn't seem to mind to help save Vivi's country. I can see you guys are friends, anyone could. None of you seemed to mind what I said. So...what exactly are you gonna do? Are you gonna stop the war?"
