Thrown Over Board
The New world was a mystery was all Luffy could think as the sea lit up lit the sun beneath the Thousand Sunny. While he could hear the screams of the Navigator ordering everyone to brace the ship for whatever may come he wasn't listening as he sat on the Figure head of the ship. The view bellow him was mystifying the shades of green and brown if Luffy was a little less sane he could swear he was looking at trees like the Thousand Sunny was floating in the sky.
The sounds of Cannon ball fire woke the captain from his thoughts as he reflexively sent a fist to the side of him just in time to catch a cannon ball from hitting the he caught it he flung in back even harder than it was shot causing the enemy ship to capsize from the blast. Luffy looked briefly to the ship of screaming profanity before returning his gaze to the sea and the illusion of the trees bellow. He heard his name called several times but couldn't bring himself to turn away from the bewitching sea.
"LUFFY YOU IDIOT!" Came the scream from a very pissed off navigator as her fist collided with the top of Luffy's head. The rubber man winced finally turning around to see the orange haired woman with her long hair covering most of her face. He saw redness in her cheeks and knew she was pissed at him.
"Oh Nami what's up?" Luffy questioned with a smile on his face despite the bump on his head that somehow poked through his Strawhat.
"What's up? WHAT'S UP? We nearly die travelling through a storm and are almost capsized by another pirate ship and all you have to say is what's up? IDIOT!" Nami screamed before unleashing her fury on the rubber man who for his part just took it absent mindedly. When she was finally done he just looked up apologized with a smile and turned back to the sea looking at the deep blue bellow.
"Luffy… what's what are you looking at?" Nami questioned as she looked over her captains shoulder only to catch a mesmerizing glimpse of green explode across the sea revealing trees and mountains bellow them.
"Shishishi… Do you see it Nami? The trees and mountains? What is it?" Luffy said mystified he couldn't look at her but he could smell the slight tang of mikans in her hair. He felt her sit down behind him with her head resting on his shoulder blade.
"I… I don't know maybe it's a mirage? I've never heard about a mirage covering the entire sea like this… It's so…" Nami whispered out as she was speechless with the sight in front of them.
"Beautiful." Luffy whispered out only getting a hum in response from Nami. All was quiet for the longest time to the two whom despite hearing the disproval from the chef behind them followed by protests as he was physically dragged away by the swordsman and the archaeologist. They saw the sun meet the horizon only to birth a brighter mirage as the world bellow them grew more vibrant more real.
"Luffy, Nami its time for dinner." Robin spoke softly as she approached the two who hadn't moved in hours. She wondered what had happened to put them in their current situation but in all honesty was happy the two were spending some time together. Nami hadn't been in the best of moods as of recent if Robin were to say it would be because Luffy hadn't been paying much attention to her. Although Nami would never mention it but Robin had a great suspicion that for some time the navigator had a thing for the captain.
Robin wasn't sure what to be more surprised about the fact that Luffy hadn't jumped at the mention of dinner or that from her close view she could see that Nami was holing Luffy's hand. She smiled to herself and made an attempt to leave the two alone before she saw a bright light on the sea. It was entrancing as it pulled her closer to the figure head till she was sitting next to Luffy and Nami.
"I've never heard of such a phenomenon.." As the light spread into the sight of a forest that had the other two transfixed. Luffy and Nami's eyes never moved from the sight until the saw blue in the horizon a bright blue.
"Neh Nami what is that?" Luffy pointed at the bright blue light that they were approaching them fast. Nami's eyes widened as she saw the light blue of the ocean approaching at a rapid pace leaving the forest behind.
"It's the sea we are looking at the sea within the sea!" Nami shouted as she was pulled from her dazed state and pulling herself and Luffy to their feet as Robin merely burst into petals and reappeared futher away from the figure head. Luffy and Nami weren't as lucky. As they attempted to jump off the figure head the Thousand Sunny took a nose dive into the water as the bright blue water shot up and grabbed hold of both of them and ripped them from the ship.
"LUFFY! NAMI! Everyone come quick!" Robin screamed as she sent a plethora of hands to grab on to Luffy and Nami but it was too late the light blue water swallowed them up before the rest of the Strawhats could even reach the deck. All that was left in the sea was the reflection of the stars above
"WAAAAAAHHH! Luffy! Help me!" Nami screamed out as she plummeted to the earth with her hand stretched out. Luffy grabbed her hand and pulled the girl close to himself till he could fell the girl wrap around him in a death grip as the plummeted to the sea bellow.
"Nami I'm gonna send us towards land so hang on!" Luffy screamed out before sending one of his arms to grab on to the nearest tree nearly 500 feet away. After what seemed like forever Luffy felt his arm touch the nearest tree, so Luffy grabbed on and let nature take its course as he wrapped his body around Nami hoping to protect her from any damage they might take in their landing.
"LUFFY!" Was all Luffy heard before they collided with the trees smashing through at least ten of them before finally getting imbedded into a huge tree. Luffy tilted his head down to look at Nami's sleeping form before passing out himself. He heard the sound of footsteps but couldn't bring himself to open his eyes.
"Naruto! Where are you going! Kakashi told us to wait till he confirmed the sounds! The dog nins are good at recon to you know!" The pink haired ninja screamed as she sprinted to keep up with her teammate. They had been training in preparation to head to the great Ninja summit only to be interrupted by a loud explosion ripping through half the forest. From the trajectory Kakashi had claimed it was an attack from the coast. He had told both her and the blonde ninja in front of her to stay put not knowing if it was an Akatsuki attack or not.
"Like Hell I'm gonna let those Assholes attack us like that! Hurry up Sakura I think it came from over there!" Naruto yelled back as the boy multiplied into a dozen of him before scattering forward before stopping at the explosion. A line of trees had been knocked down leading to a final impact having left a limp form imbedded into the tree. Naruto was the first to investigate as he walked closer to the tree.
"Sakura!" Naruto called to the pink haired medic who for her part was still catching up to the blonde. She finally landed and saw the impact it was a man. She looked at the man's sleeping face and felt a slight blush as she saw his scarred but youthful appearance. She was shocked to see his appendages twisted to the angles they were but was also surprised to see no broken bones sticking out of his skin. Sakura moved closer lifting the man's head slightly to reveal an orange lock of hair.
"Naruto pull this man from the tree carefully please." Sakura said calmly as she watched the blonde ninja pry the man from the tree. After a few moments the man was pried free reveling that he had a young woman probably 4 years older than Sakura herself was tangled in the man's limbs and another surprise came to Sakura as the man's appendages reformed the shape of normal appendages.
"Sakura! Naruto! Get back!" Came the calm and collected voice of Kakashi as Naruto and Sakura looked towards him and a number of ANBU operatives. The operatives merely walked past the two ninjas and grabbed the mysterious people. No words were spoken for a moment as the ANBU members picked up the two before the man's arm wove its way around the orange haired woman. The ANBU tried their best to remove the arm before one of them went for a kunai.
"No." One word was uttered out of the man before the operatives either fell to the ground or sank to their knees. Even Sakura elt slightly dizzy at the man's voice, Naruto blinked repeatedly, and Kakashi sucked in a quick breath. Th operatives looked to the man before putting the woman against the man and tying them together.
"Thank you Hatake Kakashi for your assistance in apprehending these mysterious persons. You will be rewarded upon return to the village." One ANBU member spoke quietly before motioning to two of the operatives to lift the man and women. They turn to leave with both man and woman lifted and bound.
"Wait where are you taking those two they might be seriously injured after the crash! At least let me look at them!" Sakura yelled before the ANBU could sprint away they stopped and turned to her. Sakura could hear both Naruto and Kakashi whisper her name sympathetically before she herself gulped.
"These are dark times Miss and with the Akatsuki and many other notorious criminals running amuck we can't overlook such suspicious circumstances as well as that man's Genjutsu he made no hand signs or even opened his eyes which is troubling. As for their injuries… They will be taken care of by the Hokage herself as soon as we return to the village." The ANBU said before they all disappeared without any further interruption. Sakura stood there quiet for a moment before feeling Kakashi put his hand on her shoulder. She looked to his calm eyes as she could see he was trying to comfort her.
"Kakashi…. I don't feel right about this that man he was protecting that women. I don't know how he did it but that man had his entire body wrapped around her. He… He didn't seem to have any ill intentions. Can… Can we head back to the village to make sure they are treated right?" Sakura spoke quietly knowing the sleeping face she had witnessed wasn't evil like the Akatsuki or… Sasuke. She turned and looked to Kakashi who looked miffed over something while Kakashi looked as if he was pondering for a moment before smiling.
"Sure why not. I think our training went well today anyway don't you think?" Kakshi said smiling before leaving heading in the direction of the village followed by a smiling Sakura leaving behind an envious and jealous Naruto. He had saw the light flush that she hadn't used since Sasuke was around. Naruto had a bad feeling about all this before huffing and following the two into the forest.
