[Action]: Vikings are the bestest beings eva

[gomugomunopwn]

[How you doing Luceti. There's a Luffy on top of the grocery shore in townsquare. He's holding a gigantic piece of meat (JUST DON'T ASK) with one hand, and looking through a pair of binoculars he yoinked from the item shop with the other. He's also wearing a pair of awesome goggles, and his regular Strawhat has horns sticking out of each side. You

[WHY CAN'T ANYTHING BE NORMAL THIS WEEK?

Xion can't help but stop and stare at the dude on the roof with the huuuuuuugenormous piece of meat. And the... hat. He stops about ten feet away from the front of the store, staring up, trying to decide if he should ask wtf or not.]

[gomugomunopwn]

[He has a feeling... HE'S BEING WATCHED-- oh it's just male!Xion over there. Hello male!Xion. Here's viking!Luffy staring right back at you.]

Hnn?

[stillatrap]

... what are you ... what are you doing up there? With... that much meat?

[frowning a little in confusion as he approaches a little closer.]

[gomugomunopwn]

i got bored so I decided to look over the town.

[But then he's going to rest the goggles on the side of him disappointingly.]

I thought there'd be some bastard causing trouble so I could kick his ass.

[stillatrap]

[slightly taken aback, reflexively shifting the bow he's got over his shoulder. there is, also, a quiver of arrows on his back.]

... don't you think there's been enough trouble lately? Everyone could use a break. ... and what does the meat have to do with any of that?!

[gomugomunopwn]

You want a break already? This is why those bastards always get the jump on you guys. Too damn dreary eyed all the time. We fought a lot more than this back home.

[He seen that reflex and that just causes his grin to spread a little wider.]

I thought the reason I had meat with me was obvious: I'm hungry. [Duuuh. Why else would he have it?]

[stillatrap]

... [shifts back a step. who is this crazy person?] Stop kidding around! You've got to be crazy if you want more trouble to show up. I fought a lot back home too, but I'm more worried about my friends staying safe than having stuff to fight!

[frowning sharply. ... but curiosity still nags at him.] Can you really eat that much?

1/2

[gomugomunopwn]

Goddamn, you're feebleminded. Your friends will NEVER be safe in this place. If you can't even figure that shit out then you're never gonna protect anyone. And if that's the case, you're useless, and I might as well put a sword through you.

[gomugomunopwn]

[But that same grin returns when he mentions the food.]

Heh. Of course I can. I wouldn't have it otherwise. [Takes a bite out of it.]

[stillatrap]

[for a moment, Xion is literally stunned into silence. Is he seriously going to have to run for his life twice in one week?!

But this isn't Naoki. Xion feels like maybe he should know who this is, but since he's not sure... in one (more or less) fluid motion he pulls his bow off his shoulder and an arrow out of his quiver, taking a step back and lifting his chin. Maybe this guy is someone he can beat. If only he knew. Still, he doesn't nock his arrow just yet.]

Who are you to tell me what I can do?! Maybe I can't stop the Malnosso, but I'm going to be strong someday, and I'm going to protect my friends!

[it doesn't help that Luffy hit a major sore spot.] And I'm not useless! What gives you the right to say that?!

[gomugomunopwn]

Oh, you're getting rowdy?

[He sits down his meat and binoculars in order to stand up.]

Maybe you're not completely useless. I'll let you fire that one arrow at me for having balls. But if you fire another one, I'm gonna kick your ass.

[stillatrap]

... [smoothly, Xion shifts his body sideways and nocks the arrow, pulling the string back as he aims up, right at Luffy's head. But he doesn't let fly just yet. cooly:]

One shot. But I want to know one thing first. Just who are you?

[gomugomunopwn]

[Well he doesn't like underestimating his opponents so he stays on his toes as he prepares for the shot.]

Monkey D. Luffy

1/2

[stillatrap]

[... what?

No. It couldn't be. This person...

In his shock, Xion lets the arrow go.]

[stillatrap]

[whether Luffy dodges or not, the arrow will miss -- though if he doesn't move, it will fly within an inch of the right side of his head. But it will still miss.

Xion immediately lowers his bow, completely thrown by this revelation.]

Luffy? You ... you're the captain! Everyone... Sanji, Brook, Usopp, Nami, Chopper... you're their captain? How can it... how can it possibly be you?

[How could it be someone so horrible? After hearing so much about this person from his friends... Xion can't believe that the incredible captain he heard about and this cold, awful person are one and the same.]

[gomugomunopwn]

[He might lean out of the way a little bit more even if it was going to miss. Don't want it to accidentally hit his hat or anything.]

Ahh, so you know my crew? What's so shockin' about it?
