Part 1:
[It had been a good rest, or at least it felt like one. As his eyes slowly opened, Luffy sat up and rubbed the sleep from his view. It took a moment or two to kick in that he wasn't where he remembered falling asleep, but this kind of thing had happened before.

Noticing that there were three other beds, Luffy got to his feet and buzz-lined over to each of them. Taking hold of whomever may be trying to rest, the young pirate shook them in order to wake them abruptly.]

"HEY! ZORO! USOPP! SANJI! WAKE UP!!"

Part 2:

[With what little information he had been given, he had miraculously found the cafeteria. Not the best with navigating, Luffy cried out with joy and awe as he rushed into the mess hall with high hopes.

Lines didn't seem to concern him, simply walking up to the front and grabbing whatever portions of oatmeal he could get into his arms. There's quite a ruckus in the proceeding, a bit of barking on Luffy's end as he argues with the chefs lack of meat at the present time. Satisfied in the short term with his haul, he made his way to the closest seat and began to gorge himself on the nurishing gruel. He isn't the most plesant site to see while he eats, but there is something comical about how frantic he eats. He'll ocassionally look up at those who pass by, nodding his head in greeting.

Every once in a while, his arm will unnaturally stretch out and snag a bowl of oatmeal from across the room. He thieves the oatmeal in timed grabs, watching the kitchen staff carefully to make sure they don't see him. For everyone else in the cafeteria, he doesn't seem to give any sort of care.]

"Says who?! No one's gonna' keep me here! I've got to get back to my friends!"

[Luffy turned and ran towards the furthest wall from where they stood, his arm extending out behind him like a long rubber band.]

"GOMU GOMU NO~ PISTOL!"

[As the arm swung back in front of him with a snap, his hand met the wall with a loud and echoing thud. He immediately dropped to the ground, his arm still extended out. He lay there clutching his hand in pain, as if he had never met with such a sensation before.]

"OWOWOWOWOWOWOW! WHAT THE HELL?!"

[swordofzero]

[Suzaku's eyes widened, he had seen a lot of powers in his time in the tower but... elastic arms...

He winced when the boy fell to the ground and knelt next to him.] Are you alright?

[gomu_ningen]

[Luffy grunts as he kicks up to his feet. He turns to face Suzaku for a moment before approaching the wall at full speed once more. Both arms now stretch out behind him, stopping only a few feet from the wall before bending his knees deep down into a horse-riding position.]

"I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS! GOMU-GOMU NO~..."

[His hands clench into fists with an audible crack, the arms snapping back toward the wall with a thundering blast of flesh against unbreakable material.]

"BAZOOK-AH!! GAHH!!"

[He falls back again, clutching either hand under his armpits in pain. Seconds pass before he is up on his feet again, grunting in pain as his fists now began to bruise and swell a deep, red hue.]

"UUUUAAAAAGHHH!"

[Like shells flying out of an machine gun, his arms whip towards the wall at a speed which rivals the fastest bullet. Small smears of red begin to show on the wall as Luffy continued to punch with all of his might.]

"LET.. ME.. OUT!! I HAVE.. HAVE TO SAVE.. MY FRIENDS!!"

[swordofzero]

[Suzaku watches for a moment, this was obviously some power Luffy had, except... t wasn't working.

And now there was blood.] Stop it. [Suzaku usually isn't one for touching people, especially without warning but Luffy doesn't seem to be listening, he grabs his arms and tries to hold him back.] They wont break.

[gomu_ningen]

[Luffy wasn't like most men. His strength was something to rival that of giants and demons, but when he's hit both an emotional wall and a mental one, he can't help but break down when Suzaku tries to restrain him.

It takes a great deal of force to stop his arms, but after a few moments his rubber limbs drop to the floor, battered and bleeding out from the exposed knuckles.]

"*huff* *huff* We won't know that.. *huff* until we try!! I've got friends that.. *huff* need me!!"

[swordofzero]

[Well at least he had stopped fighting, eventually. Suzaku didn't let go even when he dropped his arms, in case he decided to do something stupid again.] It's been tried, they are unbreakable.

[gomu_ningen]

[His fists clench as he rises to his feet once more, shrugging of Suzaku. Blood drips from his hands, the ripped flesh of his knuckles are saturated with red, flowing plasma.]

"Nothing is unbreakable! There's got to be a way out!"

[Drawing in a deep breath, Luffy raises his hands to his eye level, looking them over before turning his grimmace into a deep and dis-satisfied frown.]

"My nakama.. I HAVE to get back to them.."

[swordofzero]

[He tries to hold on, because he doesn't want the man to hurt himself any more.] Stay calm, we need to get your hands seen to.

[gomu_ningen]

[Lowering his head, Luffy goes limp against Suzaku, collapsing to his knees once more as his breathing quickens.]

"Food.. I need food!"

[swordofzero]

[Luckily Suzaku caught him and pulled him up, keeping hold of him. A little worried.] We're nearly at the lift. [And they were, Suzaku led him in and pressed the button for the first floor.]

[gomu_ningen]

[Luffy's body wasn't fully limp, he had enough strength to get on his own feet. Leaning against the wall of the lift, he keep looking down at his hands with dissatisfied eyes.]

"I'm better than this.."

[swordofzero]

They mess with powers here, they stop anything that will allow us to escape, and there are some floors where they will not work at all. They can also turn them off at will. [He's assuming that the elastic arms was some kind of power...] We can stop at the infirmary and get some bandages.

[gomu_ningen]

[He keeps his head down, ashamed to even look at his room mate.]

"Yeah.. Sure.."

[He clasps his hands together, wincing as the air itself stung his open wounds.]

[swordofzero]

[Suzaku nodded softly, feeling bad for him. It was a lot to take in.] You will get used to things soon, it will just take a while to adapt.

[gomu_ningen]

[Frowning, Luffy speaks in a childish voice.]

"How long'd it take you then?"

[swordofzero]

[Suzaku shrugged] A week or so, though things change often and it sometimes means adapting all over again.

[gomu_ningen]

"And why am I here? Who's running this place? Is it a prison or something?" [His voice is a bit rushed, growing frantic and angry once more at the thought of some one trying to contain him.]

[swordofzero]

Sort of... They claimed they saved us, and so they claim that performing experiments on us, or torturing us is a method of payment. It is ran by five administrators, they are extremely powerful.

[gomu_ningen]

"So all I've gotta' do is kick their asses and we're home free, right?"

[He says it as if it were an absolute answer to everything. Confident, sure, and determined.]

[swordofzero]

Something like that. [He looked at him with sad eyes.] For now we can get you food, one step at a time.

[gomu_ningen]

"Yeah.." [He keeps his head down, remaining silent for the rest of their ride in the elevator. His heart sinking with every moment passing, what more could he say or ask?]

[swordofzero]

[Suzaku stood awkwardly for a moment before speaking.] What's your name?

[gomu_ningen]

"Luffy.. Monkey D. Luffy. I'm the man who's going to be King of the Pirates."
[His fists tighten, blood dripping on to the floor of the elevator.] "And you..?"

[swordofzero]

King of the pirates? [An interesting title.] I'm Suzaku Kururugi.

[gomu_ningen]

"Koo roo roo gee? That's a funny name."
