A Chance at Your Heart

Chapter 11

He didn't know how to take care of her. Didn't know what a woman truly wanted.

Not like him.

Bellamy watched as his comrades dragged Monkey D. Luffy to him in a secluded corner vividly hidden behind a garden the late Whitebeard sensei left behind.

The squirt didn't bother to struggle this time around and when his bowed head lifted to stare back at him, Bellamy couldn't help but smile.

Usopp went to meet his friends outside the smelly shoe station. School was over and it was time to head home but he knew at a glance that they were missing a few members.

"Where's Luffy?" Usopp asked, unlocking the door to retrieve his loafers. "I figured he'd be here by now to show off how well he did on his math test."

The last part was said in a low grumble. Usopp barely passed but Luffy scoring in the 80's was a huge deal. He had a ball rubbing it in the long nose's face.

He paid more attention in class now; more than ever before and didn't mention anything about extra lessons or anyone helping him but there was a change- a huge one. And Luffy sucked at keeping secrets.

The others had no idea. Zoro was missing too. Probably lost somewhere so all they had to do was wait.

"Scared?"

"No."

Luffy looked from left to right.

"When are you guys letting me go?"

He was well aware that his friends were waiting on him.

Bellamy chuckled and charged forward planting a dangerous blow to the underclassman's stomach that sent him gasping and bending over in agony but he didn't cry out.

"If I knew how much you enjoyed a beating, I wouldn't have gone easy on you in the first place."

Luffy straightened and glared and Bellamy's eyes glinted with delight. He loved this part. He had always had this tough guy aura about him but hasn't up to this day thrown a punch. And if he did end up trying, what kind of damage could a wimpy shit like him do?

Starkiss didn't like this. These were dangerous waters they were treading in. The plan was to threaten him a little but neither of them expected him to be so incredibly stubborn. The situation escalated way too quickly.

If anything bad happened, they could all be expelled.

"Break up with Nami."

"I refuse."

A thick vein swelled in the upperclassman's forehead.

"What if I hit you again? Just a tad harder this time?"

"Do what you like but I'm not breaking up with Nami so stop asking me that. Can I go now?"

This was going to be a lot harder than Bellamy thought.

"I'm going to let you in on a little secret about Nami. She's not always the sweet, passionate class president she's cracked up to be."

Luffy's face wrinkled in confusion but common sense hinted to him that he shouldn't believe a word Bellamy had to say. Nami was not friends with Bellamy nor were they related so how would he know her secrets?

"She has a great body and- I'm just speaking from experience- she knows how to put it to good use."

"What do you mean?"
