Sunday Morning...time for Church (COMPLETE)
Character(s): Monkey D. Luffy
Content: Fulfilling a bet! Luffy heads out of town to the Elysian Fields
Setting: Niflheim Gate and Beyond
Time: Afternoon
Warnings: Impending Violence
"Naaaa...that took waaaaay too long..."
Perhaps this wasn't the best day to try this. He could always come back tomorrow, when his feet didn't hurt so much. As he slumped forward sluggishly, his feet already sore from nearly half a day of walking, Luffy sighed and wished that he had gotten better directions from his abode du jour to the gate nearest to the infamous white fields. Instead of a guide, he had instead asked around for simple information about this strange stretch of land beyond the Niflheim Gate. The glow of the knoll at night, the cascading fall of ethereal light, and the collection of hostile creatures outside the safety of Paixao's walls that he had been told excited him to no end. Reckless as ever, the thought of such a curious adventure only made him want to see it even more.
Sadly, taking one wrong turn only led to another, until he had nearly circled the entire city to reach his destination. It had taken hours before he finally came upon the gates, and with them, the guards standing vigilantly around them. Sore soles or not, Luffy was heading outside.
Undeterred by the guards, Luffy walked forward, his motions suggesting his intention to leave. One of the guards, the larger of the two standing directly on duty, quickly moved to intercept the smaller young man in the straw hat. "Hold up, hold up there, guy. You don't want to go that way," he insisted.
"Mmm-hmm. Yeah, I do," Luffy insisted right back. He tried to take another step forward, and the guard reached out a hand and softly placed his palm against Luffy's chest.
"No, you don't," the guard echoed, looking more stern.
"I do," Luffy said again with a sharp nod. He removed his hat and let it hang down behind his shoulders against the chord looped around his neck. "That's the way outside, isn't it?"
"Yes, it is. But-" he began, but Luffy cut him off before another word could be said. "Then I do want to go this way, dummy."
Instead of gently holding out a hand this time, the guard pushed with his palm, urging Luffy backwards a step. The young pirate's demeanor soured very quickly.

In no mood to put up with the games of some foolish young pup, the guard hoped to grab Luffy by his slender wrist and escort him back into the heart of the city. He didn't want to hurt the kid, of course, so he would just take it easy on him. The young man looked healthy, but he couldn't possibly be able to put up much resistance.
On the other hand, Luffy was in quite the opposite mood, hoping to play around a little before the real fun began. As the guard's hand made a quick reach for his arm, Luffy ducked back and twisted himself around, so that the guard sailed harmlessly past him with all his momentum. He turned back around quickly, but the moment he was able to lay his eyes on the adventure-set pirate, Luffy's hand shot forward and completely wrapped around his face, his fingers palming the guard's head like a basketball. Luffy pushed sharply, sending his opponent skidding backwards against the ground. He was lucky, though; Luffy also had no intention of harming the man, and barely put any effort into his counter-attack.
Luffy smiled, glancing at the other guard on duty who had seen the whole thing. "Did you want to try, too? Otherwise, let me through!" he said, giggling playfully.
There would be no objections. If this kid wanted to go out and get himself killed by those...things...that was his choice.

The tall grass reached past his sandals and graced the edges of his bare feet. He'd never seen nor felt grass like this. Was it something special to this world? Though it held a certain visual beauty, it felt a little...unnatural.
Luffy began to walk, hiking along through the field with his arms freely swaying at his sides. There was nothing to see on all sides, just an open expanse; off in the distance, something indistinguishable. A building. "Maybe that's the church?" he asked aloud, speaking to the wind. "I need to find out what's inside...although...I can't even remember right now who dared me to come out here now."
