It was just another ordinary day aboard the "Going Merry". Nami was navigating, trying to find another place to stop off to look for treasure. Usopp, Chopper and Luffy were trying to sneak into the kitchen without getting caught by their cook, Sanji. Robin was on the main deck, sitting at the same table that Nami was, except she was reading quite a large book. Zoro of course, was sleeping his day away, waiting for the night to come.
Robin shut her book softly and laid it down on the wooden table. Nami looked up at her "Well, you finished your reading for today?" The orange haired navigator said with a little bit of cheer to her voice.
"Yes, quite a good book, i hate to put it down, but if i never did, i would never get anything done!" Robin said as she stretched her arms to the sky. She got up with one swift motion, and walked to the railing, and leaned her arms over it. She peered out to sea "We have been sailing for 3 days straight now Miss. Navigator, are there any islands close by?"
"We are getting close to a tiny one, there might not be much there, but we will stop so you can explore some. I think the rest of the crew will agree to a little 'play time'." Nami said as she sat down the map she was charting on. "I will be back soon, I'm going to go see what Sanji is cooking for dinner.. do you want anything while I'm down there? You know Sanji would do anything for you."
Robin smiled and looked back to the sea horizon "No thank you, dinner cant be that far off.." She looked over to the sleeping green-haired swordsman. "How can he sleep that long? Its just not normal.." she said to herself while she shook her head. She looked out and saw a speck floating in the ocean. She blinked her eyes and shrugged it off. "Hmm, if i can just see what is floating.." She said as she walked towards the table to pick up Nami's scope.
She held the scope up to her right eye, and pointed it in the direction. She saw a floating piece of board, with what looked like a human laying on top. She quickly put the scope down, and ran downstairs.
"You guys! There is someone floating out in the middle of the ocean!" Robin stated as she ran into the kitchen.
Sanji turned around, his eyes soon formed into hearts "ROBIN CWAAAN! I made you a delicious fruit cup-"
"Thank you cook-san, but i am not hungry. C'mon, i need all you guys on deck, there is something out there!" She said as she ran back up to the main deck.
By the time she reached the top, she saw that Zoro was already awake, leaning against the railing of the ship.
"Why is it every time i try to get some shut-eye, I'm always disturbed?" he said in a sharp-low voice.
"I'm sorry Zoro, but there is something or someone out on the ocean, we need to see what it is-"
"And who cares what it is? C'mon haven't you ever heard of 'Everything happens for a reason?' Just let it be Robin.."
By the end of his statement, the other crew members made it to the top of the deck. Luffy was hanging off the railing, trying to get a closer look. Usopp and Chopper were in the crow's nest, trying to get their share of a view. Sanji took the scope and was looking straight at the figure.
"Its a human, we would be bad if we just left 'em out there.." he said as he lowered the scope.
"Leave 'em be.." Zoro said as he went back to his napping area. No one didn't seem to care what he thought. Luffy turned the ship in the direction of the floating person, while Nami ran down into the storage room to get the rope ladder.
"Hey you! Wake up we are here to save you!" The straw-hat captain yelled out. Yet, there was no movement out of the figure.
"They are probably passed out from lack of nutrition!" Sanji said in shock as he ran back to his kitchen "I must make them something!"
Nami through the ladder overboard and climbed down it. "Its a girl you guys! And she has some injuries too!" Nami called up. She took a part of her bo-staff and poked the girl.
She was slightly tanned, with dark violet hair sweeping past her shoulder blades. She wore a dark green slightly ripped tank top with stitching along the neckline, a dark purple skirt to match. Her ankle high boots were made of black suede, with dark green down them. She looked to have had a slash to the back from a sword attack. She lifted her head up, and showed her weak bright green emerald eyes to Nami.
"Oh thank god, please.. help me out! Ive been stranded out here for 2 days." The girl spoke out softly.
"Take my hand, im pulling you to our ship!" Nami reached out her hand, and the mysterious girl took it. Soon they were aboard the "Go Merry." The girl collapsed just shortly after standing on-deck. Usopp and Chopper climbed down from the crows nest, and Luffy ran back from the wheel of the boat. The young girl was shaking, and looked like she hadn't had anything to eat or drink for awhile.
Robin came running back with a blanket, and wrapped it around the girl's shoulders.
"Thank you so much for saving me, i am grateful that you came along.." The girl spoke out.
"Its not a problem, thank Robin though, she's the one who spotted you!" Nami said as she put her part of the bo-staff back onto the strap around her leg. "By the way, what is your name?"
"My name is Ume."
"My name is Nami. And this is Luffy, our captain; Chopper, our doctor; and Robin the archaeologist. You will meet Sanji and Usopp later on, and Zoro.. well he's asleep. He can get very cranky if you wake him up. Say! Why don't I take you down to the lower deck so you can get cleaned up and i will show you where you can stay!" Nami took Ume 's hand and pulled her up. She wrapped the girl's arm around her neck so she could support her.
"You have some terrible wounds!" Chopper said shocked "We need to bandage them up!" He followed Nami and Ume down to the lower level. Nami got her an extra shirt to wear, while Chopper attended to her wounds.
Zoro yawned and stretched. He grunted "Looks like i don't need to take a nap after all.." He said sarcastically. "Hey, Luffy, what was all the commotion about?"
"Oh, we just saved this really pretty girl! She has dark violet hai-"
"Oh great, just what we need, another woman aboard.. looks like i will need to find more alcohol after all.." He said as he got up and walked to the kitchen.
