Chapter 10 - Chapter 10- Sleeping A Lot

In the middle of the sea, there's a small boat with three guys: one with three swords, one with a straw hat, and an albino sleeping. These are Luffy, Zoro, and Haru.

While Luffy complains about being hungry, Zoro wonders when they'll reach land.

They started complaining and reminiscing about the past.

When Luffy is taken by a bird, Zoro starts rowing to chase after it.

Three idiots beg him to stop, but Zoro tells them to deal with it.

After the three climb aboard, they draw their swords, ordering Zoro back to the boat, saying they'll take it. A few seconds later, they're all injured and rowing the boat.

The three idiots start talking about the woman who robbed them, and then about the clown to Zoro.

Haru is still sleeping, not caring about the world.

[Scene change]

BOOMMMMM

After a loud explosion, Haru wakes up, looking to the side and seeing they've finally reached land.

Haru sees Zoro with three unknown idiots.

When he looks at the town, he sees a place filled with smoke.

Probably that damn explosion, Haru thought.

What was that explosion? Zoro asked the three idiots.

It's Captain Buggy's Buggy Ball! The idiot in the middle said.

Buggy Ball? Zoro said.

I don't give a damn about this Buggy Ball or this idiot called Buggy. The fact is, he woke me up from a good sleep, and that won't come cheap, Haru said, scaring the three idiots.

You finally woke up, Haru? Zoro said.

You idiot, how dare you talk about Captain Buggy like that! The three idiots shouted at Haru.

A few seconds later, they were all groaning in pain on the ground.

Let's go already, Haru said, and Zoro followed but ended up heading in the wrong direction. Seeing this, Haru pulled him back.

It's this way.

Where was I going? Zoro said.

The wrong way, Haru said, walking.

[Scene change]

When Haru and Zoro arrive, they see three guys attacking a young woman with short orange hair and, in Haru's opinion, a nice butt.

Zoro immediately stops the pathetic pirates with his sword still sheathed, while Haru is still staring at the young woman's butt.

Hey, it's just a girl, no violence against her, Zoro said, and Haru thought, *You know nothing, innocent.*

Zoro! Luffy shouted loudly.

Zoro strikes a pose and asks the girl if she's okay.

Are you hurt? Zoro asked the girl.

No, I'm fine, the girl said.

Good! Amazing how you knew we were here? Get me out of here already, Luffy pleaded.

What's this nonsense? First the bird, now you're caged, Zoro said.

Yeah, it was kinda weird, Luffy said.

The group of extras started talking about calling him Zoro. Haru felt ignored but was only thinking about how to get with Nami.

Zoro walks toward Luffy's cage, but—

Are you Zoro? The clown interrupts. When Zoro stopped, the clown spoke again. Why are you here? For my head?

No, I'm not interested. I quit the bounty hunter gig, Zoro said.

But you interest me! Buggy said in a voice Haru found too feminine. If I kill you, I'll be famous.

Better not, you'll die, Zoro said.

Really? Buggy said.

Zoro sighed and said, Are you blind or deaf?

The idiots started getting excited about the fight, chanting Buggy's name nonstop.

Zoro prepared his three swords.

After a few seconds of staring, Buggy charged. Zoro got ready, and when Buggy jumped, Zoro sliced him in half, cutting off his right leg too. Then Zoro sheathed his swords and said, That one died pretty fast.

Wow, what a weak guy, Luffy said.

No way… Nami said, impressed.

But all the extras started laughing, drawing everyone's attention.

Have they gone crazy? Luffy said.

What's going on? They just saw their captain get killed, and they're laughing? Nami said.

Hey, what's so funny? Zoro said as Buggy got up behind him.

Seeing this, Haru moved and grabbed Buggy's hand.

You idiot, pay attention, Haru said, catching Zoro's attention.

Hey, let go of my hand! Buggy shouted. And who are you? Haru ignored the clown.

What the hell is that hand? Zoro said.

A Devil Fruit, Haru said.

It's the Bara Bara no Mi, the Devil Fruit I ate, and now I'm a chopped-up man, Buggy said, laughing like a maniac. Haru squeezed Buggy's hand, making him scream in pain.

Nami started talking about how she thought the fruits were a myth.

Chopped-up man! That's crazy! Luffy said, not noticing he was made of rubber.

Give me my hand back! Buggy shouted, attacking Haru. Haru dodged all the knives while the extras cheered like a crowd.

Haru said, Try it, big nose, making everyone stop chanting Buggy's name.

You bastard, who's got a big nose?! Buggy attacked Haru more ferociously. I'll kill all four of you, Buggy said.

Fighting, Haru grabbed Buggy's small sword-hand and threw it back at him, slicing him into pieces.

Haru ran to the cannon and told Zoro to grab Luffy. When Haru turned the cannon, he told Nami to light it.

Zoro and Haru grabbed the cage, which was heavier than it looked, and walked off until they reached a shop where a dog stared at them with its tongue out.

What's with this dog? Zoro asked.

A dog, Luffy said, moving the cage toward it and making faces.

Zoro sat in one corner, and Haru did the same on the other side.

Luffy started poking the dog and got bitten in the face. Luffy screamed for it to stop, and Zoro yelled at Luffy if he understood the situation. Suddenly, Zoro collapsed. When Haru looked, he saw Zoro was injured.

Could it have been one of Buggy's knives that hit him? This was fate, even though I didn't let him get hurt, Haru thought.

Then Nami arrived, and Luffy called her the navigator.

She started talking and threw a key, but when Luffy went to grab it, the dog ate it.

Haru went back to ignoring everything, enjoying the nice weather without classes, and fell asleep.

[Scene change]

Haru woke up feeling heat. He looked back and saw the dog's shop on fire. Haru quickly used water magic to put out the fire, leaving the shop still standing but partially burned. The only thing on Haru's mind was that you can't sleep peacefully in such nice weather.

Then Luffy arrived, saw Haru creating water, and shouted, INCREDIBLE, with stars in his eyes.

It didn't take long for Luffy to defeat the idiot.

Then Zoro showed up, saying he didn't sleep enough, and Haru agreed.

Haru went back to the boat to sleep.

[Scene change]

While Haru slept, the fight ended as in the canon. Then Luffy arrived carrying Zoro on his back, with Nami following.

Luffy started talking about Nami's boat.

Nami said she stole it from some idiot pirates. The idiot pirates got up from the boat.

Then the straw hat idiot hit Zoro on the head.

Zoro raised his head, annoyed at being woken up.

At sea, after the mayor's farewell, Nami asked who the albino was.

His name is Haru, Luffy replied.

How is he still sleeping? I saw him sleeping at the shop and now here, Nami said.

Ignore it, he sleeps most of the time anyway, Zoro said.

Then they continued sailing to the next island, with Haru in full laziness mode.

[Scene change]

While Nami said they couldn't head to the Grand Line like this and talked about a bunch of things, Haru was still sleeping.

After she talked about the village, Luffy talked about meat, and Zoro about alcohol.

You guys, Nami said. And how long is he going to sleep? She asked.

No idea, Luffy said.

Nami sighed and kept heading toward the next island to get a ship.

[Scene change]

When Haru woke up, he saw Luffy and Nami talking to a guy with white afro hair, he thought. Zoro was right behind a blonde girl. As Haru walked toward the crew, he saw something spinning down the path leading to the village.

Usopp! Haru heard the blonde girl say.

What's he doing? Luffy said.

Let's stop him quick, or he'll crash into the ship, Zoro said.

So Luffy and Zoro stopped him with a foot to his face.

Thanks, Usopp said.

Who's the long-nose? Haru asked, startling those who didn't know him.

Where were you this whole time? Nami asked, annoyed.

Sleeping, obviously.

HOW WERE YOU SLEEPING WHILE I WAS FIGHTING PIRATES?! Nami shouted, hitting Haru on the head, leaving a bump.

Hey, Haru, you finally woke up after sleeping for days, Luffy said.

How can you sleep so much in a situation like this? Zoro asked.

Sleeping is great, and the weather was perfect. I couldn't resist. Sorry for not joining the fight.

You better be sorry. I almost died, Nami said.

So, Captain, this is the new ship?

Yeah, let's head to the Grand Line! Luffy said.

After everyone was on the ship, Usopp was saying goodbye to the blonde (I think it's Kaya, Haru thought). Screw it, author, she's blonde.

[Scene change]

In the middle of the ocean, Haru saw Usopp playing captain.

Seriously, how annoying, Haru thought, watching.

Zoro was lying down, trying to sleep.

Luffy was painting a flag.

Nami was with a map.

Haru was about to sleep.

Hey, don't you guys pay attention to others? Usopp said.

Done! Luffy shouted, startling Usopp. Look! It's our pirate flag! With Usopp, we're five now. We need our mark, Luffy said, holding a flag with a crooked skull.

That's our flag?! Zoro said.

What do you think? Awesome, right? Luffy said.

A pirate flag is an omen of death and terror, Zoro said.

It's terrible, but it kinda works, that flag… Nami said.

You could've just talked to me first. How could you forget you have a painting genius on board?

While they talked, Haru was already making the original Straw Hat flag.

After Usopp showed the flag he painted, Haru brought out the original Straw Hat flag he painted.

He handed it over, then went to sleep, leaving Usopp depressed for not painting the flag.

After an hour, Haru woke up wet from the rain, hearing Nami talk about an island.

Haru, you finally woke up, Luffy said.

Yeah, where are we going? Haru asked Luffy.

To Treasure Island, Luffy replied.

A few minutes later, they reached the island. Haru stayed on the ship to keep watch (sleep).

[Scene change]

After Luffy told Haru the whole story of what happened on the island, they continued the journey.
