Thunder Demon Luffy's

Chapter 67's

As they entered the kitchen, they sat down on the table and looked at Vivi who was standing behind the stove looking at them. "So, what do you want to eat?" he asked while tying the apron on his waist.

"Anything you can cook, princess," said Luffy while Nojiko nodded in agreement. "You should make something for Nami as well," added Luffy, causing him to nod. Vivi then starts moving in the kitchen picking up ingredients and chopping up meat and vegetables, causing Luffy to be surprised at the fact that she REALLY knows how to cook.

That's when Zoro walked into the kitchen holding his still-ill-heated head. Vivi stopped what she was doing and looked at Zoro, before she snorted and went back to work. As Zoro sat down, Luffy gave him a glass and poured whiskey for him.

"This, this drink will ease the pain," Luffy said as he poured his whiskey.

"Thank you, captain," Zoro replied before he took the drink and gulped it down. "By the way, Kap," he said caught Luffy's attention. "What are you and the new people talking about?" Zoro asked causing Nojiko to stare at Luffy with curiosity as well.

"I was planning to create an organization," Luffy said to their surprise. "This organization will be a fleet of ships buying and selling goods on the black market" he said, pouring drinks for himself. Everyone including Vivi looked at Luffy with shocked expressions on their faces.

"Dark market?" Zoro asked causing Luffy to nod. "What's that?" Zoro asked again, causing everyone to look at him as if he was a fool.

"You've never heard of the black market?" Nojiko asked in a surprised voice. The fact that Zoro has never heard of the black market is as surprising as Luffy who is involved with the black market.

"The dark market or better known as the Underworld is a whole system of connections, smuggling and illicit deals" Luffy said before he sipped his drink.

"The Underworld is mostly in the New World, I plan to monopolize the black market here, in Paradise, before I go to the New World and overthrow the Joker kingdom," luffy's words caused Zoro to nod his head, not caring so much.

Nojiko needed a few seconds to think things through before she also nodded her head. Vivi, on the other hand, looked extremely angry.

"Luffy, how could you think about doing such a thing !?" he yelled /quired causing Luffy to look at him with raised eyebrows.

"What do you mean?" Luffy asked, not understanding why he was so angry.

"You're talking about smuggling weapons and drugs! How could it be okay !?" he shouted causing Luffy to sigh.

"Daughter, I think you often forget that we are pirates, not saints," Luffy said before he took another sip of his drink.

"Are you two okay with this?" Vivi asked while looking at Zoro and Nojiko.

"Well at first it sounds kind of scary, you know, dealing with the whole underworld and such," Nojiko said as she leaned back in her chair. "but I know Luffy, I know, and he would never do anything that would harm his crew and he would never do anything for no reason.

So, if entering the black market was his idea, I'm sure the payoff was also quite tempting," he said, causing Luffy to nod. Vivi then looked at Zoro hoping that he would say something that made sense to her, even though the chances of that happening were slim.

"I really don't care, to be honest, he's my captain, and if that's what he says we're going to do, that's what we, as his crew do, are going to do," she said it caused Luffy to smile and pour another drink for her. "In addition there must be good liquor," said Zoro with a big smile that made everyone sweat.

"Just calm down, princess," said Luffy trying to calm her down. "I can promise you that we won't get involved with things like the slave trade.

We will only sell weapons to those in need of weapons, medicine to the moneyed and the rich, and other luxury goods, only to those who seek them, "luffy said as he poured himself a drink. "By the way, you're going to scorch our food," he added, causing Vivi's eyes to widen and quickly turn off the stove.

Fortunately Luffy warned her, otherwise all the food would be charred. Vivi then took out a few small plates and bowls before she put food in them and served them to the three of them.

"Eat," he said as he put all the dishes in front of everyone, then walked back to the kitchen and picked up another bowl of food and began walking towards the door.

"I'll take this to Nami .. after thinking about why we didn't go to eat with him there," he said while looking at the four of them. Luffy looked around to see if anyone was protesting against the idea, before shrugging his shoulders.

They all got up with their plates and walked towards Nami's room. When they get there they see Vivi Karoo's duck sleeping in Nami's room. Luffy then called out to the crowd and turned it into a small table on the floor to become a place to eat.

Luffy and Zoro sat in front of the clouds, with their food in front while Nojiko and Vivi helped Nami get up, to eat. As soon as they finished helping her sit next to the clouds, they all sat down and got ready to eat.

"It looks delicious" Luffy commented as he stared at the warm rice with grilled dinosaur meat with hungry eyes. The five of them did not wait long before they all ate their food.

The five of them spent half an hour eating and chatting, after Vivi finally stopped bickering about the black market/underground. Luffy had just finished his meal and was about to pour another glass of whiskey for himself, but Johnny's shouting voice stopped him.

"CAPTAIN!" Johnny shouted, attracting his attention and everyone. "THE ISLAND IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!" he shouted from the watchtower. Luffy got up with his plate and spoke.
