Red Eyed Straw Hat
Summary:
When Luffy and his crew are out on the town one night a mysterious girl slips on board. Red eyes, silver hair and an unknown motive the ship will really be kept on their toes when they discover who hides bellow deck…
A Slow Night
The night was cold and bitter. The streets of a small town were slow and dark. As the moonlight glinted on the ocean, giving off a soft glow a girl of long silver hair slipped through the night. Moving with the utmost silence she reached the gallant ship Thousand Sunny. Her crystal red eyes scanned the ship quickly. Determining it empty she boarded.
Running across the deck swiftly she found a small door leading bellow deck. As she travelled down the steady step she clutched her stomach. Feeling the injuries from her past fight she knew a little rest was needed before she continued her plan. Trying a few doors the girl came across a small well kept room. She studied the sides and found a cupboard. Slipping inside she concealed her and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The things I do for you captain." She whispered.
The crew returned to their faithful ship not long later. As everyone settled into a nice pleasant sleep Rynna held her body the blood from spilling across the wood. Bitting against her teeth she injured the pain. Once the ship fell silent she relaxed a little.
Okay everyone, this opening was just to set the scene. I hope it doesn't confuse you all but now Rynna will be telling the story.
Rynna's PVO
My captain had asked me to bring him this strange crew. Why I didn't know. All I knew was that I had to obey him. Captain and I were different from the rest of my nakama. I didn't want to recall my dreadful past, feeling a shiver run down my spine I exhaled and relaxed.
The only way I could think to help them now was to do as he had said. He wanted me to bring him Monkey D. Luffy, and that was what I was going to do. Hearing the sounds of the morning mix wit the chatter of the crew told me that dawn had come.
Someone walked by the room calling super happily. Everyone was settling for breakfast. I thought to myself. They must have left the bay by now. We're probably out at sea. Sigh. I hadn't eaten in three days, and with these injuries I probably would have done better to steal a little food, but I didn't want to eat until I completed my task.
Knowing that this was my only chance to sneak on board I lightly galloped across the hall out of the deck and into the sun. More blood spilled as I ran gracefully, yet another ability I had worked hard to develop. I was incredibly swift and very flexible. I have a strong will, which I needed for my battle against the crew. When breakfast was done I saw eight figures make their way up to the deck.
Watching them closely I scanned for the better fighters. They made it quite unclear as to who was who by their unusual goings so I thought to tackle them head on.
"Just hold out a little more body." I whispered.
Standing up slowly I found not to arouse any eyes. A young man about the age of 17 climbed the mast to the watch tower, his long nose scrapping along the wood as he climbed. Standing proud I waited until his frizzy black hair peeked above the wooden edge and wack.
The man went falling. It had only taken a small punch, much to my surprise to send him flying to the ground. Strange I thought this was meant to be one of the strongest crews in the world. As the long nosed man hit the deck hard the entire crew turned their attention to him.
"Hey Pinocchio, what happened?" A green haired man asked scratching his head and rubbing his eyes. The long nosed man blinked.
"I dunno. The ship attacked me." He explained. Several members of the ship rolled their eyes, apart from a reindeer bellow whose eyes glistened.
"Can ships really attack you?" He asked with curiosity.
"Oi don't be stupid Chopper, he's just lying again." A red haired girl with short wavy hair informed. While this happened another girl sat calmly with a book at a small glass table.
Seeing the commotion she looked up and observed the event. Following the mast her eyes climbed the watch tower steadily until they reached me.
"Captain-san," She asked. "Do we know that girl?" The group's attention was diverted to where the blacked haired woman was pointing.
A boy wearing a simple straw hat looked curiously at me.
"Who are you?" He asked me from bellow. Having gathered the attention of everyone, I did a smooth jump out of the watch tower and on to the deck.
Over near the glass table a tall blonde haired man's eyes turned into hearts.
"She's an angel!" He cried with awe. My red eyes darted around the deck. I found the straw hat boy and pointed at him.
"Close but no I'm a devil fiend. I announced. The crew looked at me in disbelief until my long blood red tail, red horns, sharp fangs and vicious claws formed. My skin, tinted slightly red. In my full devil form I should be ok. I thought confidently.
"A devil fruit user!" The green haired man shouted.
"Are you the captain?" I questioned. The boy nodded proudly. Ha I thought. He's not much older then me. Feeling confident I continued. "I want control of this ship!" I ordered, their eyes widened.
Not looking the least bit pleased the black haired boy with a straw hat walked up to me. He focused hard on my face.
"Y…you look…look like…" Before he could finish I punched him hard in the face. He fell back. I stood above him. Blood fell onto his red vest.
"Can I have this ship, or do I have to fight you for it?" I asked bitterly. It pained me greatly to be this way but my captain had ordered me not to be childish. I had on several occasions been told I was immature. The way I was acting however you wouldn't have guessed it.
The boy stood up. "Why should I give you my ship?" He asked restudying my face. I frowned. My injuries would give me a fair disadvantage in this fight however I knew it was the only way.
Quickly I jumped back dodging a strike from the man with green hair.
"You're annoying me. So go fuck off!" The man lunged at me with his three drawn swords. I easily dodged the man's attack and kicked his back onto the deck. The fight broke out involving the swordsmen and me.
I did my best, evading several attacks I jumped back. He was to much slower then me, and I easily dodged his strikes. I held out for a short time. My body however had lost to much blood. Jumping away again I lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
"Shity Swordsman, what did you do to her?" The blonde haired man called.
"Nothing, my swords never touched her!" The man yelled back.
"Look she's bleeding all over the deck!" A large blue haired man shouted.
The small reindeer ran over to my lifeless body.
"She's really sick. Look, these burns are deadly!" He explained. "We need to get her down to the sick bay."
"Why the hell should we help her?" The blue haired man commented. "She stowed away on our ship!"
"Just help me!" The reindeer screamed.
The reindeer cleaned out my wounds, covered the terrible burns and placed a warm wash cloth on my forehead. The captain continued to stare hard at my face. He knew it greatly resembled one of his old friends but why he didn't know.
I awoke that night to find a monkey like face watching me hard. Realising who was watching me and where I was I jumped out of the bed and prepared for a fight. The small reindeer who had been busily working at the desk looked up.
"Sit down, you need rest." He said softly. I didn't move. The entire crew were in the room relaxing.
"There's no point fighting, Miss Stranger we have you out numbered and your very sick." The dark haired woman explained not looking up from her book. She was right, they had me out numbered. Admitting defeat I sat back down on the bed and pulled the covers over my legs, still watching them closely. Their captain continued to stare at me hard.
"Hey Luffy, why are you starring at her?" The blonde haired man asked noticing my annoyance.
"Because, she looks familiar." The man explained honestly. I looked at the straw hat boy called Luffy curiously. Everyone was interested now.
"Um, do I know you?" I asked curiously. The boy was clearly not sure.
"Your face, I know I've seen it before." I raised an eyebrow.
Growing impatient the tall blue haired man spoke up.
"Forget this; I want to know why she was on the ship!" He complained. Everyone looked at him for a brief moment before looking towards me.
"Who are you?" The orange haired girl asked suspiciously. "Are you a marine?" I frowned, lowering my eye brows.
I jumped from the bed and landed on the girl pinning her down.
"Don't you ever…EVER pin me with those disgusting bastards!" I shouted. The reindeer grew large and dragged me back to the sick bed.
"You need rest; you're in no position to be picking fights." He commented placing the washer back on my fore head as I lay down.
"Who are you then?" The long nosed boy asked.
"I'm a pirate." I said bluntly.
"What do you want with us?" The green haired man asked.
"I want nothing from you; my captain just gave me an order to bring Monkey D. Luffy and his crew to him on Reef Sand Island." I explained.
"Who's your captain?" The Straw Hat boy asked.
"You can find out for yourself, by going with me to Reef Sand Island." I replied.
"Why should we do what you want? You're in no position to give orders."
"I think you'll be very interested to meet my nakama." I said giving a mysterious smile.
"We're going. This sounds like an adventure!" The boy said excitedly.
"Captain-san has made his decision, I guess we're going." The black haired lady replied.
I smiled. Suddenly a felt a hand touch my face. I turned to see the Straw Hat boy was pulling my face to him. I shoved him away easily.
"What the hell are you doing?" I screeched. The entire crew looked rather surprised.
"Your eyes, they're red." This hit me hard. My face fell.
"What of it?" I said bitterly.
"I like them!" He explained. I raised an eye brow.
"Yeah, well I hate them. You don't see people walking around with red eyes." I commented.
The blonde haired man looked at me and smiled.
"Would you like something to eat?" He offered. I looked up at him. My eyes widened.
"F…for real! You aren't just teasing?" I said gratefully. He nodded.
Everyone seemed happy at the thought of food.
The straw hat pirates all sat around the table eating dinner happily. I sat in the corner and starred at my plate. It was covered with roast and vegetables. My stomach growled.
The blond man looked over at my untouched meal.
"Don't you like your food he asked?" The blonde haired man asked his voice filled with concern.
"Its okay, Cook-san is a great cook, he would never poison food." The black haired woman explained.
I dug the fork into the potato and ate it greedily. I shovelled down the food quickly.
"Oh it's so good!" I cried with happiness.
"Glad you liked it. You could repay me with a sweet kiss." The blonde man offered. I turned pink. The red haired girl punched him to the back of the room.
"Leave her alone Sanji, she's just a kid."
"Hey!" I argued.
"What?" The long nosed boy asked.
"I'm not a kid!" I explained.
"How old are you then?" The green haired man asked.
"I just turned 15!" I said very proudly.
"Well you don't look any older then that." The long nosed boy laughed. I poked my tongue out.
"Well how old are you then?" I asked him smiling.
"17." He said confidently.
"Hmp." I pouted.
"Hey it's okay, I turned 15 last year." The reindeer said smiling.
"Oh cool!" I explained.
"I'm 17 too." The boy in the straw hat explained.
"Wow." I replied smiling.
The black haired women whispered something to the red haired girl.
"Miss Navigator, she's just girl."
"I know…better keep her away from the Sanji just to be safe." They smiled.
"Watcha talking about?" I asked curiously appearing behind the two.
"My you are fast Miss Stranger."
"Do you want to know my name?" I asked. "It's weird being called 'Miss Stranger'."
"Alright." I grinned. The boys looked curiously as I whispered it into the girl's ears.
"That's a nice name." The dark haired woman replied.
"Thanks," I said blushing.
The Straw hat boy's eyes filled with curiosity.
"What's her name?!" He said excitedly.
"Rynna." The red haired girl said happily.
"Welcome aboard Rynna." The Captain replied.
"Wait your going to let her stay, Luffy?" The long nosed boy asked.
"Yeah, she's hurt. We can't just dump her in the sea. Anyway she can't swim" He replied.
"I say we should. Let her die" The green haired man commented.
"No. I'm a doctor; it's my duty to help people who are sick. She stays."
"Hey you aren't the Captain." The Blue Haired man yelled.
"So the Captain already agreed." The small reindeer replied confidently.
I knew they didn't trust me but I was very surprised to see just how nice they were. Everyone chose to sleep in the sick bay that. That was where I first considered them nakama.
"Royal flush." I said delightedly placing down the cards.
"Ah what a talented young lady." The blond man replied.
"So what are all your names?" I asked collecting the tokens from two of the boys.
"I'm the Great Captain Usopp." The long nosed boy reported.
"But I thought he was the captain." I said pointing to the straw hat boy, stuffing himself with meat.
"Luffy, he's no captain." The long nosed boy laughed.
"But I am the captain." The boy argued back placing a bone of meat in his mouth.
"Wait so there's two captains?" I asked puzzled.
"Ignore him Usopp's just a big fat liar." The blue haired man explained.
"Hey." The boy detested.
"Well it's true." He argued back.
"What's your name then?" I asked pointing at him.
"Franky." He said proudly.
"Ok, so we got a Usopp, a Luffy and a Franky. What about you two." I said looking at the two men fighting constantly.
"Are a pleasure to introduce myself to such a beautiful lady." The cook said. "My name is Sanji." I smiled.
"How 'bout you?" I said looking at the green haired man.
"Hmp." He ignored me.
"Well that was pretty tight." I argued
"Hey Zoro be nice introduce yourself." The long nosed boy laughed.
"Yeah Shitty Swordsman stop being a jerk." The cook argued.
"Zoro huh, weird name." I commented. He frowned.
"No better then yours." He explained.
"That's not very nice." I stuck my tongue out.
"Just ignore him; he's just in a bad mood because he's broke." The orange haired lady laughed.
"Oh is that why you're not playing?" I asked
"He can't afford to he still owes me a fortune." The red haired woman added laughed delightedly.
"What's your name then, person with lots of money?" I went on.
"Nami, Navigator and treasurer." She replied satisfied.
"Nice to meet you."
"Miss Rynna, my name is Robin and this is Chopper." The dark haired woman explained giving some rice to the small reindeer.
"Can I call you Teddy bear?" I asked the small reindeer. He looked surprised.
"You remind me of a soft teddy bear." I said delightedly.
"I'm a reindeer!" He protested.
"Alright so let me get this straight, the captain is Luffy who eats everything, and then we have a swordsman named Zoro, who owes a whole lot of money to Nami. Nami is the navigator and treasurer. That long nose guy is Usopp and he likes to lie a lot. The cook's name is Sanji and from what I can tell hits on girls any chance he gets." The blonde man's face fell.
"There's a tiny doctor reindeer named Chopper who doesn't like being called anything but Chopper, a lady named Robin who calls everyone by there occupation and a big blue haired guy named Franky. Is that everyone?" I asked.
"Very impressive Miss Rynna, are we that easy to read?" Robin asked.
"Yeah." I laughed.
"What's your occupation?" Usopp asked.
"I'm a performer." I explained proudly.
"A performer?" They repeated.
"Yep, I sing, dance you entertain people."
"YOU MEAN YOU'RE A MUSICIAN!!!" Luffy gleamed. I looked at him with confusion.
"Err yeah; um is he always like this?" I questioned nervously.
"Yep." Zoro answered several of them nodded their heads.
"So how far away is Reef Sand Island anyway?" Usopp asked Nami.
"Well about three days sail."
"What, three days with nothing but sea?" Luffy moaned.
"It's okay Luffy we have a new person to play with us now," Chopper said excitedly.
"Hey yeah we do!" He gave a huge grin.
"Alright on to Reef Sand Island!" The boy cried.
