it won't be easy to find. that's the whole point of a place that hides things. [ did he say people? anyway. ] we had shipments of supplies to the baratie once a week. we'd go under without them. with the way they're feeding us, they have to be getting supplies from somewhere, but i've never seen any deliveries being made. the kitchen is always stocked, too.

luffy. if you find a place that looks dangerous, don't go off on your own. we can't help you if we don't know where you are.

we just got to follow the trail when we find it, and there's got to be one with things getting in! maybe i need to spend more time in the kitchen.

right, we need to deal with this together and leave no-one behind. i'll talk to the others.

( Sooner or later the fact there's no way out may sink in. )

are you okay? as captain i have to check in on all my crew especially with the weird time stuff. koby mentioned things had been bad at some point but he didn't want to go into details.

[scone]

really, more time in the kitchen? funny how your road somehow always ends up there.

me? of course i'm okay. [ what the hell did koby say. he'll kill that shitty marine no matter how much he cares about him now. ] whatever happened is over. you're here now, and that's all that matters.

[bigsmile]

it doesn't look suspicious if i'm there :)

okay. ( Something about people and cake. The few little bits Luffy heard was bad enough to have him looking twice at any cakes in future. ) i should have been here sooner, but you're right i'm here now.

we really need to get home.

we've left usopp on his own.

you look suspicious everywhere you go.

it's not your fault. you would've been here if you could. and anyway, it's for the best that you weren't.

i know. we've been... me, nami, and zoro — koby, too — we've been trying to get home for a while now. we ended up somewhere else before this house. it was some kind of village. that's over now too, but we've been looking for a way out for months.
i left someone behind there, too. you didn't know her. she was just some shitty little kid i met.
anyway, it doesn't matter. just be careful or my foot'll find your ass.

the most vague opla spoilers for others

i am a master at blending in.

( They both know that's not true, but at least Luffy can laugh about it. )

all did good, i've only been here a week and my head is still spinning. thank you for looking after koby. it must be hard for him without his haircut friend or grandpa around to support.

yeah? you should tell me about her sometime.

and wow careful i've seen what those feet can do.
