Actually, I don't have too much to say to start out. This is my first
One Piece fic, check out my other fics, yes this is a bit of a MarySue,
but the character is neither musically inclined, in love with ANYONE on
the ship, emotionally or mentally stable enough to do so, and don't you
dare say anything about my treatment of Sanji because it does play a
part later. Like the sub, some words just have to stay in Japanese
cause it makes more sense.
And... enjoy yourself. :)

Chapter 1
The Grand Line was being extremely kind that week for the Straw Hat Crew.
Too kind.
Nami had Usopp and Luffy drag her desk out in front of her mini-grove so she could enjoy the spring island breeze. Her map making had certainly seen an upturn, as they had been passing through an archipelago for the past 4 days. The islands were tiny, but some clustered by the dozens to make an entire livable island. No natives yet, though.
Luffy for once did not have his spot on top of the Sheep's head. Sanji was being particularly unkind and had Luffy at the sink doing dishes. He would've had Zoro at it too, but it was his turn to be up in the Crow's Nest. Unfortunately, Zoro usually took opportunities in the Crow's Nest to sleep. Usopp was off to the side and writing in a book, doodling in the margins.
"NEVER MIND! GET OUT, YOU MORON!!" Sanji's voice broke the calmness of the waves, and a few pots flew out of the galley after a giggling Luffy.
"It was just one!" Luffy called back, not up for apologizing. He picked at the food all the time! What was his problem today?!
"One what, Luffy? One cow? One watermelon? One refrigerator's worth of food?" Usopp snickered. He didn't have a right to point; he was nearly as bad.
Chopper pointed to Luffy's protruding gut. "I think he got the refrigerator and didn't bother getting anything out of it!" The little reindeer was on the railing beside Nami's desk and eating an orange.
"It was A HAM. One. I do that all the time." Luffy said matter-of-factly. "Jeez, Sanji's moodier than usual. I hope he doesn't decide to poison us." He pouted and hopped up on the bow of the ship.
Sanji came out a few seconds later. He nearly kicked the door off the hinges and had a look on his face that signaled he wouldn't mind putting his foot somewhere else. Like up Luffy's ass. "Because of our insatiable captain, lunch will be late." He added a growl in Luffy's direction and turned back to the kitchen.
"Hey, Sanji! Are you alright? Do you need help? I could make Usopp help!" Nami leaned over the railing and looked down. Her voice never failed to soften him just a little bit. Usopp however tensed up immediately when he heard his name and did the 'IX NAY' sign across throat.
"Nami... It's fine." He grit his teeth at the last part and went back inside.
Well this wasn't good. No "Nami-swan", no "I don't need that dumbass!", no nothing!
"What's eating him?" Chopper put his head down on the railing and contemplated swiping another orange.
"I have no clue." Nami bit the top of her pen and went back to work.
And so it continued all day. Anyone going near the door would get a "WHAT!?" or some signal of exasperation. This made dinner a delicate affair. Or at least it would have if Sanji hadn't just served the food and left.
"Come on, Luffy! You're the captain! Talk to him." Usopp stuck a forkful of fish in his mouth. "The food's still good, but it won't be worth it if he knocks our heads off."
Zoro had come down for dinner and stared down at his plate. "I can take it if he tries to kick a goal with our skulls, but if tries to poison us, he can eat my swords. Let him stew in it for a while. He'll get over whatever it is." Fish was less than appetizing to him, no matter how it was prepared.
"Ah! Stew in it! You made a funny, Zoro!" Luffy tried to laugh and pick his teeth with the bones of his fish. He was the only one dumb enough to point the pun. Zoro raised an eyebrow.
"I'll do it after dinner. Even in this state, he can't say no to this face." Nami took a bite of some of the fresh veggies Sanji had baked with her fish. She was a bit worried about him...
A young woman clung to the mast of her little boat for dear life and cursed the fact that one of her arms was immobile. She also cursed gifts from strangers, cute strangers, the Devil and all his dealings, the sea, storms, stupid dares, herself for taking them, her ex-boyfriend, and her brother.
"When I get back, Ohhh-ho ho... If he thinks he'll live after this-"A high wave pushed the boat into a nauseating dip, causing the girl to yelp and nearly crush the mast. "-stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid!"
Sen thought she could ride along the shore for a little while, but the second she put the sail up, instead of going parallel to the shore, the boat was thrown in a perpendicular position and dragged away from the shore. She immediately tried to turn the sail around, but it was well too late. She'd only been drifting for a few hours, but even though she was a native of the Grand Line, she knew to keep her ass on the island and not actually OUT ON THE GRAND LINE. Who knew if she'd accidentally stopped in a current and was being carried further away? What if she got knocked overboard?!
"Craaaaap...."Sen hugged the little mast and decided there was only one thing to do.
"HHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPP MMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!"
She immediately wished she kept her trap shut because the force and pitch of her voice against the waves shook the boat violently, and sent an eerie chill up her own spine. She wanted to scream again in terror, but the next time might capsize her.
"Oh god, let somebody hear me...." She looked up at the blue sky and let go of the mast. Clinging was making her arm hurt and weakening her considerably. Her muscles gave out at once and she fell on her back to the bottom of the boat to sleep.
And... enjoy yourself. :)
