So, I was bored and decided to start translating my fics to english for no particular reason. Yeah, I'm weird like that. :)
Oh, and I guess you would place this after the timeskip, but there isn't any spoiler here... unless you haven't seen Nami's new hairstyle, of course.
Disclaimer: You know Oda owns One Piece, is this really necessary?
"Robin!"
The furious voice of the navigator could be heard all over the Thousand Sunny. No, that wasn't correct, over the whole island.
The Straw Hat Pirates had stopped at an island to re-stock after their captain had finished the supplies for a week in only three days. Chopper, Luffy and Brook had parted to investigate the island, in search for some adventures. Franky, Sanji and Usopp were in charge of buying everything necessary, so they left in search of the town they had spotted from the ship upon their arrival. Zoro, on the other hand, had left as soon as they had reached the island, and he was soon gone... or lost, one of the two.
Nico Robin wanted to finish the little, white book she had adquired at the last island, so she volunteered to take care of the ship, and now she was there, reading her book while driking peacefully a cup of coffee. Nami had started the map of Fishman Island, and stayed too in order to finish it without someone interrupting her. However, an umpleasant surprise was found by her while working.
"You called?" Robin asked, leaving her book aside to look at her friend.
The young lady walked out of the girls' room, her long, orange hair waving with her every step. She was sweating and panting as if she had just finished a marathon.
"Get it... out... of there... now" she muttered, about to pass out any minute apparently.
The Child Demon of Ohara stood up and walked towards her nakama, somehow confused.
"Would you be a little more specific, please?"
"Ok" Nami resolved, then proceeded to yell. "Why is there a damn skull in our room?"
"Oh, that..."
"What do you mean by 'oh, that'? I almost had a heart attack when I looked up and saw a skull hanging from the ceiling!" Nami screamed.
"That's something I happened to found in these two years" the archeologist casually explained. "Before heading to Shabondy, I stumbled across an island where I found ancient ruins and..."
"And dead bodies." Nami completed.
"You could say that" her nakama agreed. "A corpse in particular caught my attention. It demanded further investigation, it seemed to be the key to understand the mystery of those ruins. For that reason, I..."
"Stuck a skull in our room without even telling me?"
"I don't see the problem. Quite frankly, I'm surprised you didn't detect the smell" Robin ojected, a bit confused as she walked towards her bedroom. "Now, when you say you found the skull, you mean it consists purely of bones?"
"Y... yeah, why?" she stuttered, afraid of the answer.
"Oh nothing, I just wanted to know if the decomposition process was done. Seems it is" the historian answered. "I should probably go to check it out."
"You're creepy"
Nami felt a chill through her spine upon her nakama's last words. The skull had flesh when she got it on the ship? She suddenly felt a bit dizzy, and sick, but she would finally pass out upon hearing Robin's last words before she exited the deck.
"I wonder if the rest of the body parts have decomposed too..."
Oh, and reviews are always welcomed of course. :D
