Aimless, with no real sense of direction to claim, Luffy began to wander about wherever seemed the best direction to follow at the moment. To the sails of his soul, going by feeling alone was the wind that carried him forward. Still, he seemed perfectly happy, smiling a big, eager smile and marveling aloud at all the new sights to be seen.
"Oooh-hooo-hoo, look at that!" While carving his way through the crowds of people, several bystanders stopped and looked at the young man in the straw hat as he gasped and cheered, sounding as if he had just discovered something absolutely amazing while pointing up at the skyline. They all seemed a little disappointed once they realized the odd and exciteable fellow was simply gazing up at some of the taller buildings lining the streets.
Luffy peeked his head around corners, staring curiously down alleys and shortcuts, each one making him wonder just where they might lead. He made his way up and down the sidewalks, sometimes strolling along one way for a moment or two, only to come strolling back on the opposite side of the street minutes later. He glanced giddily in windows and open doors, absolutely enthralled by all the strange faces, resonant sounds, and enticing scents coming in and out of homes, buildings, and restaraunts. Had he a single cent to spend, or the time to spare away from exploring, he would have stopped in to enjoy them all more thoroughly.
Yet for all his traveling, Luffy began to grow frustrated. His eyes narrowed sternly once he began to realize just how big this 'Paixao' city actually was. Surrounded by buildings on all sides, he could barely see five feet in front of him in any direction, giving him no idea which way to turn next.
"I'm never going to see this whole place like this. It's taking too long." he muttered, staring down at the ground thoughtfully. He'd have to find a faster way, or he'd never been satisfied. After a minute or two, like a lightbulb had flashed above his head, an idea poppped into his head.
