Luffy just laughed at everyone's banter and antics. He was practically on top of the world with his friends at his side like this. True, Chopper and Robin (and that mysterious blue-haired guy) weren't here, but Luffy liked to think that maybe they were teaming up to get them out of here. After all, Robin and Chopper were pretty smart and strong! (And he was pretty sure that blue-haired man sounded like he was at least super-strong.) They'd work something out, right?

Either way, it made the past couple of weeks seem totally worth it, having everyone else around now. True, it sucked that they'd been captured in the first place, but Luffy was confident that they'd make things work out somehow.

Up until this point, he'd been watching everyone with a terribly amused, happy expression, but it mellowed out a bit once it sounded like they were about to get moving. "I think we should all go to the kitchen together!" he responded brightly. "Five people looking for Tasty Answers is better than three. Besides, we haven't gone on an adventure together in ages! It'll be fun!"
