Wake up…
Eyes wide opened, the young pirate captain sat up straight on the head of the mighty Thousand Sunny. The sun was scorching and the wind was barely blowing. It just added the more reason he felt a bit crept out.
Turning from his left and back to his right, he looked for the faint voice that was calling him earlier.
"What the hell was that?" Luffy asked to the thin air. He stood up and hummed to himself in confusion. He glared at the thin air, daring it to tell him whose voice that had call him.
"Or was it a dream?" he pondered and placed his palm under his chin, mimicking a thinking pose. Humming again, he was then startled by the same faint voice from earlier.
It's not a dream…
"What the- who the hell are you!?" he shouted in surprise. He walked backwards in a fighting stance, wary of his surrounding.
"Luffy! To whom are you talking to?" the reindeer asked cheerily from the grassy deck. Luffy refused to turn around and answer his doctor, trying to focus and listen to the voice again.
A storm is coming to you…
Shocked, Luffy stammered, "A st-storm?!"
Hearing this, the navigator rose from her sunbathing spot and stood up to take a better view of Luffy. Usopp, who was playing cards with Chopper and Franky turned to look at Luffy in astonishment.
Robin placed down her book and woke their swordsman up - who was peacefully sleeping at the aquarium bar.
Follow the wind.
Sanji, who was preparing some ingredients for lunch had come out of the kitchen upon hearing the unusual rustles of the wind.
"Nami-san!" he called but bit his tongue when he noticed everyone was looking at Luffy in worry.
"What's going on here, Sanji-san?" the skeleton asked as he brushed his black trousers from the dirt - a result of tending to the flowers he planted next to Robin's.
"Beats me." the cook answered as he stared at Luffy along with the others. Brook looked at the shorter man before looking to their captain.
Believe in your heart and trust your friends.
Upon hearing the faint voice, everyone almost jumped in surprise simultaneously.
"What the- Robin! Did you hear that?" Nami turned to the elder woman as the latter stood up as well, looking around for the owner of the voice.
"Is it an intruder?" the cyborg asked as he pressed on his nose, changing his hairstyle into the bald one.
"A-an intruder?" Usopp held onto his sling weapon tightly and prepared a shot.
Calm down. I'm just the voice in the wind.
Feeling a shiver running down their spine, Nami, Usopp, Chopper and Brook screamed, "GHOSTTTT!" in unison.
You will become a fearsome and a respectful pirate crew.
"I t-think it's trying to tell us something!" Chopper shrieked, still terrified. He clung on the sniper as the sniper held onto Franky's robotic arm.
You can change the past. But the future will never be the same.
By then, Luffy stepped down to the grassy deck, joining his crew.
You can help create a better future than the current one, but beware of your choices.
"Are you the Great Lady P-"
It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is you knowing who you are.
Everyone was looking at Zoro in astonishment as he stared at the thin air coolly.
"Will there be restarts as before, then?" the swordsman asked, surprising Robin with his usage of the word 'restarts'.
Unfortunately, yes. I hope you guys will be ready for that. For you are the trustworthy and reliable mates of the last knight in the rusty armour.
"The last knight in the rusty armour?" Nami and Sanji asked simultaneously.
"Zoro! Do you know the owner of this voice?" Chopper squeaked as he held onto the elder's left hand.
Also, Luffy…
"Yeah?" believing that the voice was not a threat to his crew, Luffy had long dropped his fighting stance and stayed calm as the voice communicated with them.
Your family and friends… They all love you. What you are willing to do for them, they will do it for you as well. Never forget that.
"Huh? Alright," Luffy replied in a cool manner, "Will we ever meet you?" he wondered out loud. "You've been saying good things about my crew! I'd like to meet you in person!" the young captain laughed heartily, his grin stretching from one ear to another.
The voice in the wind seemed to have chuckled, creeping out the fainthearted crew members.
I hope we will.
"Be seeing you, then!"
A/N :
I have been longing to continue the Stories fic for years! With the new laptop, I am excited to do so!
Of course, this was slightly rushed...but I am very excited to write my years of ideas! With the recent chapters as well, I am quite hyped haha!
I hope this wasn't too weird and too OOC, it was always hard to balance the appearances of all the SHP crew members in a fic but I will try better!
Thank you for taking the time to read! ^^
