Chapter One: Christoph's obsession

The wind blew her hair behind away from her face; the droplets of salty water landed on her pale cheeks and she rushed to touch them with the tips of her fingers. The ocean. She wanted to see it. She wanted to witness the beauty of its blueness and yet she couldn't. She sighed heavily in defeat savouring the smell of it. Since she could remember herself Wanda always loved the ocean. Wanda raised her hand and touched the bandages that bandaged her eyes for four years. She was not blind, yet the orders of the captain she couldn't disobey. She hated those pieces of cloth. It felt like they separated her from the rest of the world. Even though she didn't need her eye sight for her everyday life, she couldn't help the feeling of incompleteness. It was like having a talent and being forbidden to use it.

"Wanda, you are looking at the ocean again?" the familiar voice of Nero, captain's right hand and the most trusted person, echoed in her ears. Wanda didn't turn around.

"Looking? If you think that I can admire it through those bandages," she started. "You are very much mistaken."

The man furrowed his eyebrows but didn't reply. "The Captain wants to see you."

Wanda finally turned to his direction. She nodded and made her way to the headquarters without any particular interest.

"Where have you been?" Captain Christoph questioned the girl as soon as she stepped into the room. Wanda closed the door and quickly approached the table. Christoph looked at her intently.

"I was outside." She replied calmly. The captain was very demanding when it came to her. He wanted her to be by his side all the time; Wanda felt imprisoned. Perhaps that's how you feel when your father gives you away as a present. It is almost like being sold into slavery.

"I don't want you to go out anywhere by yourself." He ordered standing up. The man slowly approached the girl and touched her cheek. She wanted to wince but didn't move an inch. After four years of staying beside her obsessive captain, she got used to it.

"I understand." Wanda sat down.

"Take those bandages off your eyes." her captain ordered. She nodded and slowly removed the pieces of cloths from her eyes. Her eyes were closed, but long eyelashes were trembling in anticipation.

"Open your eyes girl and look at me." Slowly, as if it was going to harm her she opened her eyes. They stung from the light which made them water. Wanda blinked before her gaze travelled to Christoph. He was a tall man with broad shoulders. Christoph was in his early forties or so it seemed. His long black hair was tied into a pony tail revealing a rough tanned face. He was not repulsive, but Wanda couldn't call him handsome either.

"I want you to look only at me." He said dangerous. "Those eyes belong to me." He moved closer to her caressing her cheeks and neck. Wanda blinked and looked down. "I understand, Captain."

"LUFFY! I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING IN THE KITCHEN BEFORE LUNCH TIME!" Sanji chased after the straw hat captain with a kitchen knife trying to aim at the guy's head.

"MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!" Luffy laughed out loud as he continued running away past Zoro.

"Hey, you two, shut up!" Name yelled. "I'm trying to concentrate here."

"Name dear," Sanji sung as he glared at Luffy. "Lunch will be ready soon. Everything best for Nami-san and Robin-chan!" Sanji didn't waste any more time and stalked back into the kitchen.

"I am always amazed how much fits into his stomach." Usopp whispered to Chopper as they worked on a new design weapon.

"What are you working on miss navigator?" Robin asked leaning on the wall.

"According to the information I got on the last island we visited, there are 6 rarest diamonds in the world, the cost of each is about 500,000,000 Beli, and all of them belong to the Captain of Nirvana pirates." She said thoughtfully.

"500,000,000 BELI?" Usopp and Chopper yelled in union and amazement.

"Maybe more, but nobody knows."

"And who exactly is that Captain of Nirvana pirates?" Sanji asked smoking his cigarette.

"Nobody really knows. Apparently no one ever came back to tell."

Usopp gasped and fainted. "Usopp!" Chopper yelled shaking the man. "Don't die Usopp!"

"AWESOME!" Luffy yelled laughing loudly. "Then we will be the first ones!"

Nami looked and Luffy and smiled. Sometimes she loved his cheerful attitude, especially if it involved money. Large amounts of money!

"Hey wait!" Usopp yelled suddenly jumping out. "We can't! It's too dangerous and besides," but Nami didn't let him finish. Her iron fist quickly landed on his head making him faint again.

"Excellent idea captain!" she yelled winking at Luffy who was still laughing.

"Tsk, you are only thinking about the money." Zoro commented, raising his eyebrows. Nami glared at the green haired man.

"Shut up marimo, Nami-san knows what she is doing; besides, she always has ME to protect her!" Sanji sung swaying around the girl. Nami smiled sweetly at him. Robin rubbed her chin thoughtfully. She heard something about those pirates before.

"I heard that the captain has a secret weapon, someone who kills for him, the rest of the team doesn't need to move a finger to help." She said addressing Nami. The ginger girl swallowed hard.

"At last," Zoro stood up and stretched. "Someone to challenge."

"You idiot!" Usopp yelled. "That person kills everyone on their own. By themselves! What kind of monster is that?" the long nosed man kept yelled but everybody ignored him.

"This might be interesting." A small smile crossed Robin's lips.

"Then it's decided!" Luffy yelled. "NAMI LEAD THE WAY TO ADVENTURES!"

Christoph watched her carefully, just sitting in front of him on the deck. Her head was once again turned to the ocean without an expression on her face. She never showed any emotion while being around him. It didn't anger him, it didn't even annoy him, after all, he was the one who made her this way. His perfect puppet.

"Wanda." He called her name.

"Yes?"

"Sing for me." He ordered. Wanda didn't want to. "Everyone, leave." The crew nodded and quickly disappeared in the rooms or the kitchen. There was no one left on the deck except the two.

"What should I sing, my captain?" she questioned passionlessly. The man thought for a moment.

"That song..."

Wanda nodded and turned completely to face him. She crossed her arms on her chest and took a deep breath before a soft melody escaped her lips...

"Can you see anything?" Luffy nagged as Nami looked at the ship through her spyglass. It was way too far away for her to see anything clearly and Luffy wasn't helping.

"There are only two people on the deck." She said. "A man, who I assume is the captain and a girl."

"A girl?" Robin raised her eyebrows.

"I think she is blind." Nami stated. "Her eyes are bandaged."

Sanji gasped.

"That poor girl. No representative of the beautiful sex should suffer like that." tears streamed down his cheeks as he looked into the spyglass.

"Idiot!" Zoro said roughly.

"SHUT UP! MARIMO! You are heartless!" Sanji yelled pointing his finger at the swordsman. "Such a beauty!"

Nami raised her eyebrows and shook her head, somehow when Sanji commented on other women she didn't like it. She couldn't totally understand what she was feeling but she knew that she definitely didn't like it.

"What are they doing?" Robin asked curiously.

"I think she is singing..." Nami said after some thought.

"What is she singing?" Luffy asked sucking on his thumb.

"DO YOU THINK I CAN HEAR?" Nami snapped. *I'm surrounded by idiots!* her thought wasn't a mistake.

"Ah, never mind! Yahoo! Adventures ahead!"

Zoro groaned loudly as he rested against the wall of the kitchen. He was not in a fighting mood, which was an understatement, a man like himself was always ready to fight and yet, that day all he really wanted to do was sleep. Luffy's loud laughter reached his ears but he ignored it, after spending so much time with the straw hat pirate he learnt how to ignore the noise. *What is that secret weapon?* he thought to himself. *I want to see it.*

Wanda stopped singing and turned her head to the sea. "Captain, there is a ship approaching. I can hear it."

Christoph stood up.

"How many people?" he asked. Wanda thought.

"Six or seven people." She replied. "They are strong. Very strong."

Christoph laughed. "Very well. At last we can have some fun. CREW, GATHER UP!" he yelled grinning like a madman. *At last...I can once again use my ultimate weapon.*

Going Merry was quickly approaching a large ship with black sails. There was no pirate flag on it yet gave off a feeling of depression and death. Zoro watched everyone from the corner of his eyes. Luffy and Sanji were anticipating for their own reasons while Chopper was trying to hide, once again wrongly. Robin's indifferent expression was replaced by curiosity while Nami grinned at thought of treasures. He sighed and stood up. They were almost near the ship when Luffy ordered to throw the anchor. The ships finally levelled up. A small team of people stared at them from the deck. They were surrounding a man who he assumed to the Captain. He was grinning widely at them and for a moment Zoro felt that something was up.

"HEY THERE!" Luffy yelled stretching his arms and getting on the ship before everyone else.

"Luffy WAIT!" Usopp's voice didn't seem to reach their captain.

"Are you the Captain?" straw hat asked eyeing Christoph.

"Are you are?"

"Oh me? Monkey D. Luffy, the next pirate king!" he introduced himself.

"I see." The man chuckled. "And what do you want Monkey D. Luffy?" he questioned.

"Oh we are here for your rare diamonds." He replied grinning. Name smacked her forehead while Sanji's and Zoro's jaws dropped. "THAT IDIOT!"

"Ha!" Christoph stood up. His crew move aside allowing their captain to walk forward. "And do you have the courage to take it away from me?"

Luffy scratched the back of his head. "Of course, I'll be the next pirate king after all."

"You hear that men?" Christoph laughed clenching his fists. Zoro and Sanji quickly jumped on the enemy's ship, followed by Robin and Nami.

"You've brought friends I see." Christoph smirked.

"Hand over your diamonds." Nami yelled getting enough courage.

The man glared at her. "Girl," his voice was rough. "Like I said, do you have the courage to take it away from me?" if looks could kill she'd be already dead. Nami shivered yet didn't back away.

"Do you think this is a way to talk to a lady?" Sanji spat lighting a cigarette.

Christoph smirked. "If I see a lady I will consider that."

"YOU BASTARD!" Sanji yelled raising his leg to hit the man yet something suddenly stopped him...or someone. His leg was caught in a strong, yet slim hand. The blonde blinked in confusion when his eyes fell on the one who gripped his leg. "Beautiful!" he yelled happily. The girl expressed no emotion nor did she say anything. In an instant the cook flew all the way across the ship and hit the wall of the headquarters. Sanji groaned in pain feeling something misplaced in his back.

"I will repeat myself one last time." Christoph's voice sounded dangerous yet it was full of excitement. "Do you have the courage to fight?"

Luffy took off his hat and handed it to Nami.

"I won't let anyone hurt my nakama." He stated. "Bring it on!"

Christoph smirked. "Brave. I like that. I love challenges." The man went back to his place and sat down. None of the crew members moved.

"Hey, who's going to fight?" Luffy asked in confusion. Wanda stepped forward.

"I will."
