The crew suddenly find themselves approached by young children, all of whom are barefoot, and seem to be staring at Luffy in great reverence.
"So...is anyone else creeped out by the way these kids are looking at us?" Zoro asked, "Or surrounding us?"
"Yeah, this is kinda freaky," Nami said.
The children started smiling and approaching the Straw Hat crew.
"Our hero!" they exclaimed.
"Wha...what's going on?" Luffy asked.
"It's you," one of them said to Luffy, "The second coming of our one true god!"
"Luffy? A GOD?" Usopp asked.
"Yes," a child responded, "The Eternal God of the Barefoot Tribe!"
"...the Barefoot Tribe?" Nico Robin asked in confusion.
"Like our god," another child said, "We eschew the need for footwear of any kind and allow our feet to feel the nature of the world. And now that our god has returned, our tradition demands we bring him suitable foot slaves to pamper to his needs."
"Wait WHAT?" Sanji exclaimed.
"Really?" Luffy asked, seeming a little too excited.
The children then started chanting an ancient spell, creating an aura surrounding themselves.
"I think we've stayed here long enough," Zoro said, placing his hand on the sheath of his sword.
"I agree..." Robin said.
But they suddenly found themselves unable to move. All except for Luffy, who watched his crewmates' minds be wiped. With a snap of their fingers, the children of the Barefoot Tribe had Luffy's crewmates in a complete trance, their eyes rolling around and their jaws hanging down.
"That is SO cool!" Luffy exclaimed, "And I could use a bit of a foot rub after our long journey!"
"Oh, you can have them do more than rub your glorious feet, my liege," one of the children said.
"Seriously?" Luffy asked.
"Of course," the child said, "Allow me to explain..."
As the children led Luffy and his brainwashed crewmates towards the center of their island, Luffy already began thinking of ways he could have his crewmates pamper his feet
