Luffy smelled it too, whatever it was. Actually, it kind of reminded him of that night someone had set one of the buses on fire, right after their first trip to this place. As boring as Doyleton was in the day, things sure got exciting at night, that was for sure!

He didn't really have any problems with letting Kuro lead the way -- there was a lot to see from where he was following, after all -- which was why he was next to Chise when she suddenly fell over. To be honest, the pirate didn't get why she didn't lash back at them when she had a perfectly good frying pan, but maybe some people just didn't think of frying pans that way.

Well, Luffy sure appreciated a frying pan for what it did in the kitchen, but he also knew a good weapon when he saw one. And right now? A frying pan was the best thing to kick zombie ass with. Gritting his teeth, he lunged forward in an attempt to bring his pan down onto the monster that was about to bite Chise.
