" . . . WAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!"
Clong!
Blitzing out from a freshly erect portal preceding sloppy descent, Straw Hat met the squeaky-clean linoleum with his rubbery dome, unceremoniously toppling like a sack of potatoes upon pristine tile. Springing up for an awkward recovery, Luffy briskly hastened to his feet. "Ack! What an inconvenient entrance!"
The wiry captain habitually swatted away crud from his cardigan, though to his astoundment not a single speck of dust kicked free. Heh, the maintenance guy around here must be crazy thorough! He pondered, peering around to absorb the scenery.
Gilded furnishing and ornate jewels. Everywhere.
"Wo–WoOoOaAaH!" A magnificent sight to behold splayed out before him, intricacies the likes of which he'd never bore sight upon, accentuated by the scent of succulent meat wafting from above. If ever his wet dreams came to fruition, it was this solaced moment. "Awwwesooome! This place must have cost a fortune! At least ten-hundred million Berī!" The youth yammered with star-glimmered peepers, though unfamiliar with this particular realm's currency, nor inherently great at math.
Slanting his visage to either side, Luffy observed a slough of exotic migrants, yet not quite as numerable as he'd expected, a clear result of his evident tardiness. Armor-clad brutes, mutated varmints, even fun-sized lassies littered the spawning point. Betwixt the nethers of an expansive corridor, he noted a duet of uniformly dressed men postured on either side of a puzzling construct comprised of twin metallic vestibules.
Precious paragons. Voluminous valuables. Titillating treasures. Assuredly, that's what dwelled behind such a glamorous crypt of wonderment. Training his eyes on the target, the captain extended both arms to an exaggerated length, clasping a pair of fixed ornamentals adorning the sparkling walls just shy of the dimly-lit hallway.
"Gomu Gomu no . . . ROCKET!!" Straw Hat yawped before retracting his elastic limbs and careening forth at a fleeting clip whilst bypassing a multitude of heedless compatriots, arriving in sheer seconds and planting his sandals several hairs shy of the patrolmen.
"Woah! S-Sir, you are not permitted beyond this point. Please step away and–" The guards's aghast decree was severed short as Luffy plowed through, snubbing the duo until he felt a palm stiffly grip his shoulder.
"Did you mishear the man?" His partner chimed in, "You may not enter until the boss says otherwise, boy. Go upstairs, prance around the park, whatever you youngins do these days." Such commands served as mere annoyance. Sharpening his countenance, Luffy fastened his hand around the minion's. Squeezing hermetically, he implored a pained outcry from the guardsman as he sunk to his knees.
While the fallen doorman tended to a throbbing extremity, his cohort brandished an sable device and pressed it against the pirate's abdomen. Tugging back the trigger, arcs of electricity sparked to life, gnawing away at Luffy's dermis.
"Kahaha! Stop it, that tickles-hahah-damn it!" The stretchy captain giggled, inearthing the man in black beneath a layer of addle. His taser was utterly useless, soliciting him to toss it to the wayside and invoke his partner's aid. "Oi!! Just let me snag a peek will ya??" The young buccaneer fruitlessly requested.
Amidst the skirmish, the rearmost lackey knocked Luffy's Straw Hat loose, tossing it afloat down the lengthy passageway as both suits grappled the tenacious lad. Fed up, mugiwara arched his head abaft, stretching his neck to inhuman lengths some twenty yards away, peering out from the corridor's archway.
"Grrrk . . . grk . . . Gomu Gomu no . . . BELL!!" Incanting his trademark phrase, Luffy snapped his rubbery cranium forth like a whizzing cannonball, slamming into the alloy-mantled aperture with tremorous impact.
BWAM!!
". . ."
Not even a dent.
Collapsing with bootlickers in tow, Luffy's pancaked mug slumped down the unmarred, immaculately sturdy aperture. "Sonuvva . . . that thing must be made of kairoseki . . . sea prism stone . . . I just wanted to . . . see the treasure room . . . Gahh." Benumbed and bewildered, Luffy arose to a seated position, gently kneading his forehead. In that instance, a patron shrouded in form-fitting attire and paired mask strode though, halting once he overheard the commotion.
"Yo, that's the elevator you dipshit."
