Chapter 2 - Otohiko
As Ruby makes her way up the road to the hill,that is said to be a threat to all to enter,she seemed to be calm.The three had over heard some of the conversation.Dickory decided to pull on Ruby pant leg."Ruby,how do you know this Otohiko?"She turned to him and smiled."He's an old friend of mine.Plus he owes me something.""What does he owe you?"She didn't respond.Hickory pulled him back towards her."You shouldn't ask something like that when she's like this.You know that!"She slapped his head.He understood,he continued walking with his hand placed over his bump.Mean while back at the restraunt.Luffy was scarffing down almost the entire kitchen as usual.Chopper was watching in disgusted,fasination.Chopper tried to look past the boy craming food down his throat."Hey Luffy."He stopped his barge of shoving."Have you noticed that Ruby has been acting weird lately?"Luffy took a gulp."Nope,why?""Oh nothing,it just seems that she's been very quiet lately.""Maybe she's homesick?""I don't know.She seemed happy to get off the island.""Maybe she forgot something?"Chopper shook his head."We'll ask her when we see her.For now,let's eat!"Luffy continued shoving.Chopper sighed and looked out the window.He caught a glance of Ruby and the kids walking up the hill."Where is she going?"He quickly slipped away from Luffy and peeked outside to see Ruby."Oh man,she not going where I think she's going,at least I hope not."One man said."Excuse me,what's at the top of the hill?"Chopper asked."At the top of that hill is the castle of an evil pirate.The Navy can't touch him because he hasn't stepped into their territory.I did hear that he had a partner,though.But the partner was never spoken off.That's all know little deer dude."The man started to space out.Fear struck Chopper's heart.He ran to Luffy and tried to pull him away from the plates on the table."Luffy,c'mon!We have to follow Ruby!She maybe in trouble!!"Luffy fell off the chair and rushed to the door.They could both hear the owners yelling,but they might've been happy that he left.They ran past Nami and Sanji who were carrying dozens of bags."Where are they going?"Sanji asked looking at the trail of dust they left."Hey wait for me!!"A voice was heard behind him.Ussop ran up the hill to Nami."Those two...left...me with...the..bill!"He said over trying to catch his breath."Where are they going?!"Sanji repeated."I don't know.But,they seemed to be in a hurry."Nami looked up the hill again,just in time to see the two disappear."Let's follow them!"Nami left them behind in her dust."Nami my sweet,wait!!"The love struck Sanji,followed her.Ussop sighed and followed."I'm sure of it.It's Ruby,she's been acting so strange lately.What is she up to?!"Nami thought as she plowed through the crowd of people.Finally entering a sword shop,we see Zolo examining a blade when he sees his friends trailing behind each other.Confused he starres at the window for a moment."What was that?"He shrugged,dropped the sword and followed.Ruby was still walking up the hill,following signs,directions from townsfolk,and her desire to reach her "old friend"."Ruby,are we there yet?"Doc asked.Hickory and Dickory quickly covered his mouth and shhhed him.Ruby looked up from the pavement and discovered that she was standing infront of a large,iron,gate.Behind it was a monstrous castle.Goons could be seen guarding the doors,from anyone who wanted to get in."We're here."She said with a grin spreading across her face.She looked to one of the goons."Hey,let us in!!"The goon shook his head."Sorry lady,but you got have a pass to see the boss.""I don't need a pass.I'm Ruby Red!I'm hear to see Otohiko!"The goon's face was frozen for a second."You spoke the bosses name without any fear!You must be her!Hang on,I'll let him know you're here!"The goon took a quick glance back at her and ran off."Is this guy really that powerful?"Hickory asked."From what I remember he's not so tough.But,something tells me he was holding back."Ruby heard something off in the distance.She turned just in time to have Luffy plunge head first into her.They both landed on the ground hard."Luffy,you should be more careful!"Chopper shouted."What are you doing here?"Ruby rolled Luffy off of her."We were about to ask you the same thing.Why are you are you at this castle?""It's a long story.""Ruby,are you alright?!"Sanji came completely out of nowhere,and took Ruby's hand.Ruby chuckled"I'm fine Sanji."He help her up and once she got off the ground she was face-to-face with Nami,who had a stern look on her face."Alright!I don't know what's going on,but I want answers!!Why have you been so strange lately and why are you at this castle?!!""She's here to collect her dues."A low voice said from behind.The gate opened and the figure put a hand on Ruby's shoulder."Welcome,my old friend."Ruby turned.She grabbed the figure's long blonde hair."It's been a long time,Oto."Otohiko took her hand and crushed it.Popping bones could be heard."Hey!Let go of her!"Zolo's hand pushed Otohiko to the ground.Once Otohiko recovered,he started to chuckle."I see.Well then,I shouldn't be rude to my guests.Come!"He stepped into the courtyard.They followed him with caution.He lead them into the castle.The walls were cold and gray.Goons guarded every door.Otohiko stopped at a large wooden door.He pushed them both open with great force.Behind them,a well lit room with a banquet laid out on the table."Please,enjoy."It didn't take a second for Luffy to do so.The others sat down.Otohiko sat on one side Ruby,while Zolo sat on the other side."So you seem to be making a good living,Oto.""Yes indeed.You seem to be doing well for yourself as well."He looked at Hickory,Dickory,and Doc."Are those your childern?""I adopted them."He looked past her at Zolo,who was glaring at him."Is that your lover?"Zolo and Ruby spat out their food in shock.They looked at each other in disgust."No way!"The rest of the table sighed.Ruby wipe the food off her face."He's way too stubborn!"Zolo glared at her."And she's way too much of a chatterbox!"They both growl at each other."So Oto,how do you know Ruby?"Nami asked.He flipped back his hair."She was a captian of her own pirate crew,and I was her first mate.""So why did she leave?"Ussop asked.Ruby over-heard the conversation and stood up from the table."Excuse me."Ruby stomped out the room.Luffy watched as the door slammed behind her.With his mouth full,he asked"What's her problem?"Otohiko shook his head."Nothing,I just brought some history.That's all.Please finish your meal.I'll arrange for you to stay for the night."He left the room as well.+_+
