Chapter 1- Reunion
Zoro walked across the deck lazily. The morning sun had just risen and everyone was already up- everyone besides Luffy. That was expected. He hadn't woken up since two days before when they left Fishman Island. Zoro made his way across the deck and up the lookout cabin. He sat and peered out of one of the windows. Just then, a figure caught his eye. Apparently, there seemed to be a human lying in a dinghy a little way out in the ocean. "Hey, guys," Zoro called out to Chopper, Usope and Sanji, who were on the deck, "I think there's someone in that dingy over there."
Misa's P.O.V.
"I'm going to die," I whispered, lying in my dinghy. I hadn't eaten in twelve days and even though I was surrounded by a vast sea, I hadn't drunk water in five days. I could hear voices, but I didn't pay mind. I had grown so accustomed to having hallucinations so frequently that I was sure that I was having another one.
My world started to turn black, just as two strong arms slipped under my back.
Usope's P.O.V.
I threw an anchor onto the dinghy and, with the help of Chopper, reeled it closer to our ship. As it bounced slightly against our boat, Zoro jumped unto the dinghy and picked up the unconscious girl inside. With one hand, he held her from her waist, whilst with the other, he somehow managed to climb the ladder that Chopper had lowered for him.
"Careful with her, you marimo!" Sanji yelled from on deck.
"Will you just shut up?" Zoro sneered.
Nami came on deck just as Zoro landed. "Oh, hey, guys," she chirped. Then she saw the limp body. "Who's that? What happened?" "We found an unconscious girl lying in a floating dinghy," I informed her.
We all stopped to look at the unconscious girl. Sanji, of course, started overreacting. "She- She's... a goddess!" His legs started swirling downward and hearts popped out of his eyes.
"I swear, I have never seen anything more beautiful in my entire life!" I sighed, but he was right. The girl was really beautiful, with auburn hair and a slimming figure. Just then Robin, Brooke and Franky walked on deck. "Zoro, I think you should carry that girl into the sick bay so that Chopper can fix up her wounds."
For once, Zoro just nodded and obeyed her orders, following Chopper inside.
"Who was the chick?" Franky asked.
Chopper's P.O.V.
I glimpsed at Zoro from the corner of my eye, looking intently at the still creature in his arms. I opened the door to my room and Zoro entered, lay her on the bed and stood up, still gazing at her.
"Um, Zoro? You could leave now?" I told him, after a few awkward seconds of silence.
He looked at me as though he'd just been awaken from some sort of trance, nodded, and left. When he did, I walked over to the girl and caught sight of a locket around her neck with the printed initials of 'E.D.M."
Not really being the nosy type, I took off the locket, placed it on the counter beside me and begun working on the patient before me.
Misa's P.O.V.
I awoke in a warm room and immediately sat up. The first thought that came to my head was, 'Where am I?'
I looked around the room and saw a strange figure at the opposite end of the room. It was furry and had hooves and... wore a helmet? He turned to face me and dropped some beakers that he had in his hooves and, at the same time we both screamed.
Zoro's P.O.V.
It had been five hours since we found the girl. Usope had retrieved what seemed to be her bag from the dinghy and Luffy had gotten up. Luffy had begged Chopper to let him see the girl but Chopper had denied him the opportunity. We heard a scream coming from inside. Every one's head jerked up. We took one glimpse at each other and then sprang to our feet.
We immediately raced to the sick bay. Luffy, Sanji and I were running at the same paste with everyone else behind us. Sanji, of course, was the first to speak.
"I swear, if Chopper touches her, I'll-"
"Just shut up!" The rest of us barked at him.
We arrived at the bay and Luffy flung the door wide open, with Sanji and I on either side behind him. Our mouths dropped. On the bed was the girl sitting upright, with only her bra and underwear on, minus the several bandages covering her. Her left arm was stretched out, as if she was strangling someone, and she had a look of horror plastered on her face.
She immediately turned to us.
"D-Don't come closer or I'll k-kill it!" She threatened.
Then I saw where her hands were leading. At the other end of the room was Chopper, mid air. He was being strangled by water, which seemed to be springing out of the ground. No doubt, the others saw it too. "Chopper!" Nami and Usope shouted.
I looked at Luffy in desperation, only to see that he was looking at the girl in shock. I gripped my katanas, ready to pounce on the girl, but Luffy blocked me with his arm. "Wait," he warned.
He took a cautious step towards the redhead.
"M-Misa?" he asked, unsure.
Did he know this girl? The girl looked at him as if trying to figure out who he was. Her arms were still in position to strangle Chopper.
"Misa, it's me," Luffy said, taking another step forward.
Misa, if that was her name, gave Luffy a quizzical look. Her grip on Chopper slackened a bit, allowing him to gasp a bit of air.
"Misa, it's me, Luffy. Remember?"
Luffy was at her bedside now.
"Luffy?" she asked. He nodded.
We all watched as Misa's expression changed from one of bewilderment, to one of pure delight.
"Luffy!" she squealed as she completely loosened her grip of Chopper's neck and lounged onto Luffy. Luffy gladly returned her hug. Nami and Robin rushed to Chopper's side to make sure that he was alive.
The rest of us turned our attention to Luffy and the girl named Misa.
"Luffy? Who's this?" Franky inquired.
Luffy let go of the redhead and turned his attention to us.
Grinning, he said, "Everyone, I'd like you to meet my little cousin, Eustass D. Misa."
