This is my first story! I hope you like it XD
I don't know how many chapters I'm going to make out of this. So I guess we'll just have to see. ;)
"AHHHH!" Chopper burst into Nami's room, "He's gonna kill me! Help!"
Chopper had tears running down his face. "Aw, Chopper," Nami said, "It was just a dream. It wasn't real."
"But…but…I saw it! Buggy was running around screaming, 'I'm gonna kill you!' and aiming a gun at me!"
"It's okay, Chopper," Nami said while rubbing Chopper's back and giving him a hug.
Chopper had stopped crying, but was still whimpering, when Luffy burst in with Zoro right behind him, still fastening his swords to his belt. "What's going on? I thought I heard Chopper screaming."
"You did," Nami explained. "Chopper was having a nightmare."
Zoro chuckled. "All that screaming for a nightmare? Must have been some dream. What was it about?"
"B-Buggy was r-running around and screaming and aiming a gun at me. It's not true, is it, Zoro?" Chopper asked, stressed.
Zoro's eyes got wide. "What was Buggy screaming, Chopper?" He had an anxious look on his face.
"He said, 'I'm gonna kill you!'"
Zoro gasped. "No, it can't be! There has to be some mistake!"
"What? What is it, Zoro?" Chopper asked.
"That dream…" Zoro turned around and ran out of the room.
"I wonder what that was all about?" Nami wondered aloud.
While Zoro was gone, all of the others came into Nami's room.
"What's going on?" Usopp asked.
"That's the same thing I was going to say," Sanji said.
"Chopper had a nightmare, and now Zoro seems to be really freaked out," Nami explained.
"That doesn't sound like Zoro," Robin said.
"I know. I wonder why he was so upset?" Nami wondered.
A minute later, Zoro ran back in with a portable battery-powered radio in his hand. "Listen to this! I recorded it yesterday and was going to show you this morning, but I guess now I have to show you now…" He pressed the POWER button on the radio and then the PLAY button. "Listen!" He said.
Zoro had recorded a news announcement.
"The following is breaking news! Captain Buggy was seen running around the town square earlier this morning with a loaded weapon. Witnesses say he was also screaming a phrase that sounded something like, 'I'm gonna kill you!' and was also aiming the gun at someone. No one, however, could confirm who he was pointing the gun at. Police are working on tracking him down as we speak."
For about a minute after the news recording ended, everyone just stared at one another in shock. Then everyone started talking at once.
"Is it possible?" Usopp asked.
"How?" Nami asked.
"I don't know how this is possible, but I have an idea," Zoro said.
"AHHH! What is happening to me?" Chopper cried.
"Well," Zoro said, after everyone had calmed down, "It seems as though Chopper is not only a doctor, but also a dream prophet."
"What's that?" Chopper whimpered.
"It means you dream about events that have actually happened without ever knowing them beforehand," Zoro explained. "This Buggy thing happened before you dreamed it, though. You may improve and dream things before they happen, like dream prophets are supposed to."
"It would be a useful tool, I suppose," Luffy said.
Chopper just stared at Zoro for a minute, and then started crying again. "I d-don't believe you," he said, "I bet it was just a one-time thing."
"Well," Zoro said, "We'll just have to see."
-The Next Night-
Everyone was sound asleep. Well, except Chopper. Chopper had just had another nightmare, and he was scared of what it was about. Zoro had made Chopper listen to all of the news from the past week so if he had a dream, he would know when it came from. Except, the dream Chopper had just had wasn't anything from the news.
Chopper walked down the hall to Nami's room. The door was ajar, and he could see Nami curled up in her bed with her blankets wrapped around her. He didn't want to bother her, because she looked so comfortable. But he had no choice because Nami was the only one on the Straw Hat Crew who Chopper fully trusted, other than Zoro. Everyone else had made fun of him at some point for being short. But he didn't want to wake up Zoro, because he got mad when he was woken up in the middle of the night.
"Nami?" Chopper called softly.
"Uhnn…Chopper?" Nami rolled over and saw Chopper standing in her doorway. "Is something wrong?"
"Well…" Chopper said, walking in, "I'm really scared."
"Was it another dream?"
"Y-yeah. But, this time, it wasn't anything on the news. At least, not yet."
Nami gasped. "So it was something that hasn't happened yet?"
"I think. Or I guess it could just be a normal dream, but after what Zoro said yesterday, I highly doubt it."
"What was it about?" Nami asked.
"Buggy was caught after doing that thing two days ago, and they put him in jail. Then he used his Chop-Chop power and escaped in seven different pieces."
"Chopper…," Nami said, softly, "I think we better get Zoro. He might know what to do."
Nami got up and walked out of the room, with Chopper holding her hand. They headed down the hall to Zoro's room. She got to his door, listened for a second, and then opened it. Zoro was laying in bed, snoring.
Chopper let go of Nami's hand and walked over to Zoro. Out of the whole crew, Chopper and Luffy were the only ones who could get Zoro to wake up without smothering him. Nami covered her ears, knowing what was coming next.
"ZORO!" Chopper screamed at the top of his lungs, so loud that the glass in the window shook.
Zoro rolled over, grunting. Chopper got up on the bed, put one foot on Zoro's stomach and pushed.
Zoro shot out of bed, gasping. Nami stifled a giggle, then walked over and helped Chopper up from the floor where he had been thrown when Zoro got up.
"What do you want?" Zoro said rudely, then calmed down when he saw Chopper. "Another dream?" he asked.
Chopper nodded.
"What was it this time? Was it one of the things on the news that you listened to yesterday?"
Chopper shook his head.
Zoro's eyes got wide. "It was in the future?" He said, incredulous.
"Yeah," Chopper said, softly.
"Man, you improved fast. What happened in your dream?" Zoro sat down on his bed and motioned for Chopper to sit next to him.
Nami walked over and stood next to Chopper once he was seated.
"Well, it was after the Buggy incident two days ago," Chopper started, "And Buggy had been caught and was in jail. But he used his Chop-Chop power and split into seven pieces, then escaped."
"Was there anything else?" Zoro asked.
"Yeah." Chopper whimpered.
"Was it scary?" Nami asked.
"Yeah."
Zoro put his hand on Chopper's shoulder and patted it awkwardly. "Go on," he said.
Chopper swallowed. "Once Buggy escaped, he knocked out the prison guard and stole his clothes and gun. He put the clothes on and stuck the gun in his belt, then headed west, toward the b-beach."
"That's…where we are," Nami said, softly.
The Straw Hat Crew had lived in a house on the beach for a long time. They didn't want to live in town, because people might recognize them back from when they were all burglars, robbing banks and stores. So they chose an out-of-the-way beach that didn't even have a name. But everyone who lived there called it Crescent Beach.
Zoro stood and walked over to the window. "That could mean one of two things," he said. "It could mean that Captain Buggy knows where we are and is trying to find us, or he could have just headed in a random direction where the least amount of people live."
"So, either way, we're going to be in a really bad situation soon," Nami said.
"Yeah, pretty much."
Chopper stood and started pacing. "Sooner or later, I'm going to learn to accept my ability, so it might as well be now. I pledge that from now on, I will use my skill to help us, and I won't be afraid of it any longer."
"Wow, Chopper, that takes some bravery," Nami said, awed.
Even Zoro was impressed, although he didn't say it. He looked at the clock. 6:30 am. "We should probably get the others up and discuss what we're going to do now."
"Yeah," Nami said. "I'll go get dressed, and Zoro and Chopper can get everyone up."
"Okay," Zoro said, "I'll get Luffy, since I'm the only one who can wake him up."
"I'll get Usopp, Robin, and Sanji," Chopper said.
Zoro and Chopper went to get their respective crew members up. When everyone was up and awake and dressed, they all gathered in the kitchen.
"What is this about?" Luffy asked. "It's only 6:35 in the morning!"
"Sorry, Luffy, I know you like to sleep, but this is important," Zoro apologized.
"It better be," Usopp said.
Surprising everyone, Chopper stood on a chair and took lead of the meeting. "Calm down, people! The reason we are having this meeting is because of me, so I might as well explain it."
Chopper took a deep breath. "I had another dream last night. But this time it wasn't something from the past. It was something that is going to happen soon, and we are all in danger."
After that last statement, everyone started talking all at once.
"What do you mean?" Usopp said.
"How?" Luffy asked.
"I don't understand!" Robin said.
Chopper gave a piercing whistle, effectively shutting everyone up. "I'm not done!"
"Go ahead, Chopper," Nami said.
"Do you know that incident with Buggy that happened two days ago?"
Everyone nodded.
"Well, if it hasn't already happened, Buggy is going to be put in jail, but then he will use his Chop-Chop power and split into seven pieces and escape. He'll knock out the prison guard and take his clothes and gun to disguise himself, then he'll…" Chopper faltered.
"Then he'll what?" Luffy asked.
"He'll…come here."
"WHAT?" Usopp yelled, loud enough to wake the dead, "We have to leave now! Everyone start packing!" he pushed his chair away from the table and stood.
"Wait!" Chopper called.
Usopp paused.
"I don't know for sure that he'll come here, but he will head west from the jail, which is this way."
"So, you're pretty much just saying that we need to sit down and talk this over like civilized people?" Usopp asked.
"Yeah, pretty much," Chopper said.
"Oh," Usopp sighed, defeated. "Okay." He sat down.
"So what should we do?" Robin asked, starting a very heated debate that would last until late morning.
So...how was it? Plz leave a review and ask any questions you might have. I'll be happy to answer!
