Summary
In the sleepy streets of Dawn Island, a maelstrom brews, one Monkey D. Luffy gets a taste for Piracy, with the bitter aftertaste of a Devil Fruit.
Now, armed with the passion for true freedom, and the powers of the animal kingdom at his fingertips he sets off to take the world by storm. Engulfing many people in his wake.
Less of a rubber brain, but the same simple-minded pirate we all love. Only now, he's boasting a Paramecia that would put any Zoan to shame.

Summary
The Squawk had become their cover, their communication hub, their war room. Robin did the actual broadcasts mostly playing music and reading pre-written community updates approved by the military presence in town, but the real purpose was the coded messages. Steve had helped her set up the whole system, spending hours figuring out how to get all the sound effects she wanted, taping things to walls and attempting to MacGyver random things around the station.
That was just who Steve was, but looking around the room now, Robin wondered more and more if anyone else actually saw that.

Summary
Mike Wheeler hated his sister's boyfriends. It wasn't complicated, it was moral principle.
Steve Harrington was a jock. A hair-product-using, car-polishing, dumb-smiling jerk. Mike was a nerd. By the rules of nature and comic book law, Mike was obligated to hate him.
Then came Jonathan. He had known him almost as long as he had known Will. Quiet. Awkward. Supposedly "nice". Except the Wheeler household had thin walls, and he had heard too many late-night muffled sobs over the phone.
Conclusion: Boyfriends = bad. Boyfriends = tears. Boyfriends = Mike Wheeler's sworn enemy.
So when Nancy starts to act happy and giddy, and Mike swears he heard her giggle over the phone. Nancy Wheeler. GIGGLE! He starts to get suspicious and recruits none other than the party to help him figure it out.
