"Wow! That mermaid looks a lot like Nami." Luffy exclaimed. Sure enough not far from teh ship in the water was a girl. Her face did look a lot like mineand she had long orange hair but she was no mermaid.
"She's not a mermaid. But she does look like she's in trouble." I informed him.
"Well than we have to save her." Luffy exclaimed. I nodded and we soon had her up on the boat. Now more of the differences were more prominit. The girl was tiny in some aspects like her height and waist. But she had an hourglass figure. Her eyes were closed behind dark rimmed glases and her clothes were soaked. Surprisingly the bag at her side was dry.
She was wearing a purple shor slave shirt that was zipped up, jeans, and boots. "Is she breathing?" Luffy asked cocking his head to the side.
"Yeah but she was knocked uncouncious by something." I said noticingthe bump on her head. The girl groaned and her eyes fluttered open. She sat up, her jade green eyes searching her surroundings.
When her eyes met mine she jumped to her feet in shock. "Are you alright?" I asked her. She nodded mutly almost as if she didn't trust her own voice. "Did we scare you?" I asked her.
This time the girl shook her head. "No. I'm just shocked to find myself here... For many reasons." She said.
"Why is that?" I asked. Why was I even curious?She had the look of someone who was hiding something. It was almost as if I was looking into a mirrior.
"Why do you look like Nami?" Luffy suddenly asked. The girl shrugged.
"I've always looked this way." She answered. Silence surrounded us after her answer.
"Akward." The girl said smiling widely.
"Who's this?" Usopp demanded running until he was in front of the girl.
"I'm Renee Jorden. Ren for short." The girl told him with a smile.
"I'm the great Captain Usopp-" Luffy smacked him in the back of the head.
"I'm the captian!" Luffy told him angerily before turning to Ren. "Monkey D. Luffy!" He shouted like a hyper child.
Ren dropped into a quick curtsiy. "It's a pleasure to meet you Usopp. Luffy."
"Excuse these dimwits. I'm Nami." I told her pushing the boys aside. She laughed. It sounded almost like a kid.
"It's a pleasure to meet you to Nami."
Zoro
My nap was rudely interupted by Luffy and Usopp arguing over something. Had we reached land already?
"Ren and Nami are related." Luffy shouted.
"They never met before today!" Usopp argued back.
"Ren." Luffy whined at the same time Usopp whined for Nami. Who in the world was Ren? I stood up and walked over to where Luffy and Usopp were by the frong to the ship.
"What?" Nami asked as she plopped down inbetween Luffy and Usopp. "Nami's busy by the way." She told Usopp twisting until she was sitting cross-legged. Why was Nami wearing glasses and talking about herself in third person?
"Are you and Nami related?" Luffy asked arms crosseed. Nami shrugged.
"Who knows. Maybe it's the whole sperated at birth thing." Nami answered fiddling with the zipper of her purple T-shirt.
"Oh. Who's that?" Nami asked pointing hr chin in my direction.
"Oh that's Zoro!" Luffy shouted haplily. He jumped to his fett and Nami slowly followed suit.
"Hi Zoro. I'm Nami's doppelganger Ren." Nami-Ren-told me smiling as if she was Luffy.
"Doppelganger?" Luffy asked.
"Yeah. Someone who looks like someone else." Ren answered. Usopp tood and patted Ren's shoulder comfortingly. Ren bristled. "Um... I'd better help Nami." Ren turned and went to find Nami.
Ren
It was one thing to suddenly find myself in the 'One Piece' world. I was cool with that. What I wasn't cool with that. What I wasn't cool with was people touching me. It wasn't just Usopp. I just didn't liek contact unless I inituated it. The girst time anyway.
"Hey Nami." I told her brightly. I sat down at the table beside her.
"Oh hey Ren." Nami said though she sounded distracted. She was probably thinking about the boys and how sooner or later she was going to have to betray them. "The boys are idiots aren't they?" Seh asked me not looking up from the table.
"Yeah but having idiots like them in this kind of world is a good thing. This universe is built on doom, gloom, and dark clouds. Having them exist creats little rays of sunshine to peretrate the darkness. With them on your side you'll never lose." I informed her thinking about how Luffy beat the crap out of Arlong for her."Think of it this way. You can travel to the ends of the world running from whatever skeletons you've got in your closet and they'll follow you. They won't let you go without a fight." And there was a half-cocked prediction about what was to come.
Nami looked up at me inconfusion. I grinned. "I know thing Nami. Don't qestiong my knowledge." YOu may find out thing you'd rather not know. Nami nodded even though she obviously wanted to demand answeres.
