Hello everyone! This is a fanfiction that I wrote with a ton of help from my BFF, who goes by "theiswe" on this site. It is a double OC pairing fanfic, which I know some of you may associate with words like "pure crap" and "hell", but I am really proud of this. So if you do read it, please don't give it any hate based off of my OCs. And if you think you will absolutely hate it, well then don't read it. And alright, I know, you are all probably thinking "WHY ISN'T SHE WORKING ON HER OTHER FANFIC?" but see, the thing is I have this really really REALLY bad case of writer's block right now. I'm working through it, but I'm still kind of stuck right now. So, anyway, theiswe and I wrote this story earlier without ever intending to publish it, but I decided to do so in hope that this would keep you, my readers, occupied while I struggle through my bad "illness". And don't worry, I will post chapter 2 of "Stuck with the Straw Hats" very soon. But in the meantime, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece, any of the original Straw Hats, or Xena (theiswe invented her).
Nayami's P.O.V.
I looked out at the rainbow sunset that danced across the horizon. My long, brown hair flowed behind me as I surveyed the deck below. The crow's nest was my favorite spot on the ship. I felt like I could see the world from up here. As I took in a deep breath to smell the salty air, my sharp nose detected a wisp of tropical flowers. Within a couple of minutes I could see the island.
Then everything went wrong.
"Xena! Storm ahead! Call everyone to deck!" I yelled from the crow's nest. She screamed her peculiar warning call (she always had a weird voice). After she let out the cry the crew began to assemble.
"Storm!" I yelled again. "Get into your positions!" I continued to scream orders over the howling wind.
We all tried as hard as we could but with no avail and now the ship was sinking and our poor crewmates were dying right before our eyes. Despite all the cries of pain, good byes and the wind I heard a deafening scream, it was Xena. I went over to check on her.
When I walked over I saw blood on her hands and some one cradled in her lap. She wasn't crying, she never did, but the sadness and guilt in her face and eyes made up for it.
She screamed and collapsed, revealing the persons face. It was her very best friend, and he lay there, dead. It took me a moment to realize that Xena was not dead but had just passed out (and thrown up) in sadness and shock but before I could do anything I then felt something hit my head, red goo oozed into my eyes and I too, passed out.
3rd person P.O.V.
Rikka Nayami stared out at the ocean. She was not passed out on her wrecked ship, and she was certainly not going to find Zoro and Sanji leaning over her and Xena and checking if they were still alive.
She looked out at the beautiful sunset that was identical to the one on the evening when her ship crashed. As she sniffed the air, she detected tropical flowers. She was having a strange sense of deja vu. When she looked out on the horizon, she saw an island, but not the one in her memory. She sighed, and it seemed like all the bad memories flew out of her mind.
"Land ho!" she cried. Down below, the crew assembled. Zoro dropped his 4-ton weights and stared up at Nayami. The brown-haired girl had joined the crew a couple months ago when they had found her buried under the remains of her ship with her sister Xena. Come to think of it, where was Xena? Zoro looked around to see the blond girl running, knives in hand.
"Did you say land, Nay-nay?" she called a bit louder than she needed to.
"I told you never to call me NAY-NAY!" Nayami screamed back at her.
"Okay, okay. God..." Xena took out a handkerchief and began to polish her precious throwing knives. She never went anywhere without them.
Just then they heard a voice call out "Breakfast!" Sanji emerged from the kitchen carrying eleven plates of food. Four of them were bigger then the rest.
Luffy ran over and reached for the food, but Sanji said "Just wait a minute, you rubbery bottomless pit!"
He called the four female members of the crew over. He then passed out the four bigger plates.
"One for Nami-san, one for Robin-chan, one for Nayami-kun, and one for Xena-sama!"
Robin smiled and started to eat. Nami did the same, but rolled her eyes when she thought no one was looking. Nayami smiled and said "Thank you Sanji!" just to be polite, but sighed and shook her head in pity when Sanji's back was turned. Xena muttered "Yeah, thanks" as well, but she was thinking about punching his face. Sanji was such an idiot.
Xena ate with awful manners. She shoveled food into her mouth, she propped her feet up on the table, and talked with her mouth full. She could ALMOST eat as much as Luffy. This all really got on Sanji's nerves, yes he was a ladies man but this woman aggravated the crap out of him.
It was the same with Xena; she hated how Sanji always payed attention to women, but treated every one else as unequals, and she REALLY hated it when he said things like "Don't worry, I'll protect you!" She was fully capable of protecting herself. And she could kick major Sanji ass if necessary.
They reached the island in less than an hour. Before they got too close they lowered their pirate flag. They didn't know if these people were friendly to pirates or not.
When they docked in the harbor, Luffy spotted another ship. When he recognized it, his eyes darkened and he let out a low growl. When Zoro saw it, he didn't growl, but his discomfort was shown. Nami also had a glare of hatred in her eye. In fact, the whole crew was making hateful looks.
Nayami and Xena didn't recognize the ship, but it was obvious they would be doing some butt-kicking today.
Luffy stared at the ship for a while, then, suddenly: "LET'S GET 'IM!" he roared, and the crew ran to the ship.
Not only did they majorly kick butt, but they also got a good load of treasure. Nami was delighted.
"Okay, I think we all need to go into town to get some supplies," Sanji said randomly. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Ooh! Maybe I can get some new maps!" Nami squealed in delight, forgetting all about the treasure. "Yes, and I can get FOOD!" Luffy panted. "Yeah, the grog supply is running low," Zoro mentioned. Each crew member told everyone what they needed to get.
"Wait, someone needs to guard the treasure," Nami said.
"I don't really need anything from town," Xena said. "I'll stay back. Just bring me a doggy bag."
"Okay!" Luffy said happily, and ran off.
"Knowing him, there's not gonna be much left," Zoro muttered, and went after Luffy.
Xena's P.O.V.
I watched the crew walk away into town. After they were all just specks, I turned to go into the treasure room. I sat down in the middle of the room and began to polish my throwing knives. I knew I was done when I could literally see my reflection.
Now I had nothing else to do.
Hmmm... I thought. Maybe I can look at some of the treasure. I dug through the pile and found a small chest. Inside was a rare-looking fruit. As I pulled it out, my stomach growled.
There's no harm if I eat it, right? I finished it in four bites. It had a light consistency and tasted of... clouds? After a while, I got bored again and drifted off to sleep.
I thought I had woken up but something wasn't right. I wasn't in the ship but rather a completely different realm. The atmosphere was light and EVERYTHING was white or cream, and the smell was like an exotic flower you would find on a summer island. It greatly surprised me when it turned to a mild yellow color and the smell shifted to lemons.
I soon realized that something was REALLY wrong. Still I ignored the thought and continued to look around. I soon noticed I had been floating the whole time and that there was a door that wasn't the color of every thing else and wandered towards it.
I soon found myself in a midnight sky where hundreds upon thousands of white and golden doors floated. Each was labeled with a name and last name. I went looking through the doors and saw a group of doors with very familiar names on it.
I saw one that said Rikka Nayami.
'Hmm...lets try this one' I thought. As I floated in I was met by a large space much like the last one.
Suddenly, everything went dark. I was jarred awake. The crew wasn't back yet. "Okay, that was weird," I said to myself. I decided to clear my head by taking a swim. I walked out on deck and jumped into the shining waves below me.
Everything was fine- for about two seconds. Then my limbs were paralyzed. I couldn't move. The sea was engulfing me. I felt certain I was going to die here.
