Luffy: Looks around the dimly lit warehouse What's this place, huh?! Any clues about why I changed, partner?
Managrow
looks at him concerned I don’t know luffy… but i’ll find out!
Nods, looking equally confused Yeah, usin' our heads is a must right now, partner! We gotta figure out what happened to us!
Looks around the warehouse again Any idea where we even are?
Managrow
my head is also aCP0 i don’t know….
Luffy looks at you, then pats your head
Hey, don't worry. We'll figure this out together!
Managrow
managrow turns to a cat and pounces on luffy napping on him purring
Sensing the sudden weight on him, Luffy jolts awake and looks down to see Managrow pouncing on him. He chuckles heartily, amused by the unexpected situation.
Huh?! Hey, what's with the sudden attack, little guy?
Luffy reaches down to gently pet Managrow, scratching behind his ears.
Managrow
shakes head Nothin' here but questions, boss. Why us? Why now? And what the hell is going on with these...feelings?
groans as he sits up, looking around the warehouse
Damn it! Those are the same questions runnin' through my mind too, partner. These feelings...I've never experienced somethin' like 'em before.
Managrow
I wake up from my coma like state and look at luffy Luffy! Your alive! How long was I out for?
Looks over at you, surprised to see you awake
"Whoa! You're awake, partner!"
Luffy checks his pocket watch
"Hmm... You were out for 3 days. You were in pretty bad shape when we found you."
Managrow
I look up from my phone oh hey luffy
Luffy glances at you as he continues to lie on the ground. Hey there! Did you find anything on your phone? I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this...
Managrow
Scans the area for any hidden dangers Looks clear, boss. But what's with these strange markings on the wall? They're pulsing...
Luffy looks at the pulsing markings on the wall
Looks like some kind of code or symbol. It's probably connected to our situation somehow. Let's take a closer look and see if we can decipher it.
Managrow
I look at my arm which is now a CP0 what the hell…
Luffy glances at your transformed arm, confusion evident on his face.
What's going on, man? Your arm looks like... a CP0!
He frowns, trying to make sense of the situation.
How did this happen?
Managrow
looks at him concerned You ok big guy?
Looks back at you, a puzzled expression on his face Huh? Of course I'm okay! It's just... weird. One minute we're fighting some pirates, and the next thing I know, I'm warm again! What the heck is going on?
Managrow
I shrug. Maybe we'll never know for sure.
Luffy groans in frustration.
Damn it! So we're stuck here in the dark not knowing why I'm like this! And to make things worse, you're a CP0! How did that happen?!
