Around the same time Sanji has went to get the flour Usopp had woke up. He swung his legs off the hammock and started to slip them into his shoes. As he slipped his foot in to his shoe he felt something wet and furry in one of them. So he let loose a shrill scream as he flung the shoe across the room and in to Luffy's face.
"What did you do that for?" Luffy asked as he tossed the shoe on to the floor.
"There was something in my shoe." Usopp explained.
"So you didn't have to throw it at me." Luffy pouted.
Usopp walked over to his shoe and picked it up. He turned it upside down and shook it until a wet dead mouse fell out. "Eww I don't think I'm going to wear my shoes today" He said as he tossed them in to his pile of clothes that he needed to wash.
"Hey Usopp. Have you seen my pillow? I can't find it anywhere." Luffy asked as he looked around slightly bewildered.
"I haven't seen your pillow Luffy. Maybe Zoro stole it last night while you where asleep.” Usopp answered as he carried his bag of clothes up the mast to wash them.
Luffy turned to look at Zoro. It doesn't look like he has my pillow. But you never know. Luffy retch over and started poking Zoro's forehead. "Wakey wakey Zoro." Luffy said as he poked him. Hmm doesn't seem to be working. Luffy thought. So he started shaking Zoro. But he still wouldn't wake up. Then Luffy swung the hammock around so Zoro would fall out of it.
"Geez why did you have to do that?" Zoro asked as he set up.
"I wanted to see if you had my pillow." Luffy explained with a grin.
"All you had to do was look over and see my head was only on one pillow." Zoro told him.
"Well I thought you might be lying on it." Luffy answered.
Dealing with Luffy this early was starting to give him a headache. He decided to distract Luffy with something else. "Hey Luffy it's getting pretty late in the morning. Aren't you hungry yet?" Zoro asked trying to sidetrack him.
"You know I am getting hungry. I better see if Sanji is fixing breakfast." Luffy said as he jumped up and raced up the mast to the kitchen.
"Finally he's gone." Zoro muttered to himself as he plopped back into his hammock and went back to sleep.
Immediately after leaving the bedroom Luffy headed to the kitchen. He stuck his head in the door ready to inform Sanji that he was hungry but no one was there. So he decided to go sit on the figurehead until Sanji showed up. Sanji left the storage room and headed back to the kitchen. He got in the kitchen and set the bag of flour in a barrel and scooped some out to use with breakfast. He turned around and noticed that the ham he had set out had disappeared. He was just about to yell for Luffy but he noticed a growling noise coming from above him. He looked up and on top of the highest shelf was a cat. It was green with black strips, and just a bit bigger than a normal house cat. It set there with a slice of ham hanging out of its mouth growling at him. All Sanji could do was set there and wonder where this strange cat had come from. Then all of the sudden the cat jumped off the shelf and catapulted itself off Sanji's face and ran out of the kitchen. Sanji who had no time to react to the cat fell over backwards while the cup of flour he was holding flew through the air covering Sanji and everything else around him in flour. After regaining his senses he jumped up and ran after the cat. He realized as soon as he got out the door he had lost it. Then he just happened to look up at the crows nest. There was the cat taunting him with the meat. He figured by the time he got up there the cat would have jumped down. So he thought to him self for a second.
"Luffy I have food for you." Sanji called.
Luffy came flying through the air from the figurehead and skidded to a stop next to Sanji."Where is the food?" He asked eagerly.
"It's up there. That cat stole it." Sanji explained. Normally he wouldn't care as long as it wasn't wasted, but the cat had pretty much taunted him with it. Now it was a matter of pride. Besides he could just hear Zoro bothering him about how a cat had out smarted him.
"My breakfast" Luffy yelled as he catapulted himself towards the cat.
Watching Luffy go after the cat Sanji figured he would catch it with very little problem. Then he remembered that his face was covered in flour so he went off to the bathroom to wash his face off and change into clean clothes. As he went to change clothes Luffy continued to chase the cat. The cat of course saw Luffy flying towards him so it jumped down from the crows nest and ran to the tangerine trees. As soon as Luffy hit the railing on the crows nest he jumped down and followed the cat to the trees. The cat hopped from tree to tree with Luffy following it on the ground. It eventually left the trees and ran across the deck right towards where Nami was working on her map. It jumped on Nami's head and launched itself onto the figurehead. Luffy followed close behind running into Nami's table and flipping it into the air. The inkpot she was using landed on her shirt covering it with blue ink and ruining it. But Luffy didn't notice any of it until Nami yelled at him about him replacing the shirt. Seeing the cat setting on the figurehead Luffy figured this would be the perfect chance to catch it. He flung himself at the cat. The cat jumped over him and ran off. Luffy overshot the figurehead and nearly landed in the ocean had he not grabbed the railing on the ship. By the time he pulled himself back up the cat was gone.
