[h1][color=Red]Monkey D. Luffy[/color][/h1]

A lone barrel sat quietly in the midst of a bustling street...a peculiar sight, as there were no others like it sitting around nearby. More peculiar still were the noises it was making- or rather, the noises of the cargo that lay inside. Long, drawn out, loud snores emanated from within the oaken barrel. What could have been inside it? A captive? A smuggled animal? Bypassing townsfolk were no doubt curious, but none would open the barrel in time, as the snoring was suddenly cut off by a hefty yawn.

Then, the barrel twitched, then twitched again, then lurched a few feet in several directions. Then, all of the sudden, the barrel exploded, sending shrapnel to and fro in many different directions, having been burst open by the strong arms of its wide-mouthed, grinning occupant.

[color=Red]"AAAAAH!!! WHAT A NAP!!!"[/color]

Luffy yawned and stretched, enjoying his newfound elbow room after having escaped the confines of his resting place. Why did he even take a nap in that barrel to begin with? He couldn't rightly recall the reason, but it probably didn't matter, anyway. He was starving, and it was time for food! Wondering to himself what he wanted to eat this morning, he opened his eyes, expecting the lush, green, grass-covered deck of his ship, the Thousand Sunny.

[color=Red]"Hey, Sanji! Can I have fried meat for breakfast today-?"[/color]

What he saw, however, was a city street.

[color=Red]"....Eh?"[/color]

....A very unfamiliar city street.

[color=Red][i]".....Eh??"[/i][/color]

In a completely unfamiliar city.

[color=Red][i]".....EHHHH!?"[/i][/color]

He pivoted all around from where he stood, utterly baffled and confused. This wasn't his ship at all! Had the guys docked here while he was sleeping? He scratched his head, still trying to wrack his brain for the circumstances the night before which led to him being asleep in a barrel in the middle of a town....Eventually, however, he gave up on that endeavor, and decided to simply find where his ship could possibly be docked. Which was easier said and done, given his complete lack of knowledge of where the harbor would be....or which direction anywhere was at all.

No matter! Luffy resolved to simply pick a road and run right down it until he hit a body of water. Where water would be, the Sunny would no doubt be, as well. And so, he ran, racing through the city streets, ducking and dodging out of the way of passerby.

[color=Red]"'Scuse me! Sorry! Comin' through! Pardon m-...WAH- GAH!"[/color]

Having been facing the direction of the latest subject of his apologies, Luffy's back was turned completely from the direction he was running in, causing him to crash directly into someone....a blue-haired young man with his eyes closed, in fact.
