Hey everyone, Shadowonthewall6 here. Before we begin today's chapter, I think you deserve to know the story behind it.

A short time ago, there was a young man named…Shadowonthe…floor?…yes, Shadowonthefloor7. You see Shadowonthefloor7 really wanted to write fan-fiction but…well, he wasn't sure if he could. After a while of brainstorming, he created an idea for a story but, unfortunately, he wasn't very motivated. I mean, it took him over a fortnight to finish the first chapter. However, as he was about a quarter of the way through writing the second chapter, he decided to post his story on . When he checked back on it a day later, he was astonished to see the awesome reviews fans had left him. These reviews encouraged him to finish the second chapter and so, after many a bored evening, he had wrote almost the whole of chapter 2...

and on a completely unrelated note, I, Shadowonthewall6, have just finished chapter 2 and I am now unloading it…

So much fail in one introduction

So this chapter took a while to do even with about a quarter already done. That's mainly because

I was writing A LOT for of the chapter

I cut down Chapter 2 since it was way too long (it was originally from when Luffy and Nami land to when Luffy is discovered to be a man at the hot springs…it may not seem that it was that long of a chapter to you, but it was)

so Chapter 3 is basically Chapter 2: Part 2

So after that long winded explanation, I'd like to finish off by thanking all of my reviewers, who were awesome enough to give feedback on "Search the wind" and get me off my lazy ass to write it.

Hope you enjoy

Chapter 2: Brand new world

Amazon lily, the island of snakes and beautiful women, was a peaceful and quiet place. Green trees shook gently in the wind and the grass moved softly with the breeze. The bright blue sky was silent, save for the squawk of the occasional seagull. The peaceful morning, however, was interrupted by a paw shaped pad mark falling from the sky and impacting the ground of Amazon Lily with a crash. Dust floated from the crater, revealing an amazing sight. Lying in the crater were two people, sleeping peacefully on the floor. A black haired young man lay sleeping peacefully, his dark blue vest slowly fluttering in the wind as he used his right arm to keep the other figure close. The other figure was a young woman with orange hair, who was lying on top of the boy with her head resting on his chest and her arms draped around him holding him tight. Her yellow t-shirt was burnt but, what was most strange was that her legs were wrapped around the boy's legs. The two looked quite peaceful. A straw-hat was nestled on the floor beside them, seemingly watching the two slumber.

Slowly, the sun's barbaric rays made Nami wake up. The straw-hat navigator yawned and dozily sulked into her pillow. She snuggled deeper into it, sighing contently. The pillow grunted in its sleep and seemed to snuggle to keep the two together. Nami soon felt her mind fall into a deep sleep…

"Did…my…pillow just…grunt?" she said quietly and looked up to see Luffy wrapping his arms around her and smiling contently. Nami froze. She was utterly shocked at the sudden turn of events and her mind began running ideas through her brain.

Option A: Hit him and insult him like crazy, hoping he apologises

Option B: Shuffle away from his grip (whilst blushing)

Option C: Wake him up and ask him to get off

Luckily, Nami chose option D, all three.

"GET OFF OF ME YOU IDIOT" she yelled as her fist made contact with the front of Luffy's head sending him flying into a nearby tree. Whilst Luffy tried to wake up, Nami had shuffled away and was now so red that Luffy's old shirt looked like it was being worn by her head. Luffy shook his head rapidly from side to side and stared back up at the navigator.

"Ow! Nami, that hurt!" Luffy whined as Nami turned to meet his gaze. Her brown eyes seemed to look at him, confused, as if something wasn't quite right. After a second take, Luffy realised that the two were sitting in a clearing in between some trees. There were no bubbles. Luffy blinked for a second and then, the memories of the day before came flooding back to him. Nami's eyes also seemed to widen, suggesting she had remembered as well. The two exchanged looks and slowly shuffled closer.

"The crew…" Luffy began but his voice suddenly fell silent. He didn't want to waste words of sorrow. Nami simply sat quietly, now shaking slightly with a sudden cold feeling that spread across her back. The two were silent for a moment. All of a sudden, Nami heard a sound coming from her right. She turned in that direction but all she saw was Luffy. The straw-hat captain had his trademark straw hat on, covering his eyes. At first, Nami heard a chuckle. Then, she watched as Luffy suddenly began to break out into laughter. Her captain…the captain (Nami cursed herself inwardly) was laughing about their situation…of being separated…of being lost…of being alone. Suddenly, Nami found she could take no more and stood up angrily growling.

"YOU IDIOT" she yelled, grabbing Luffy's attention "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LAUGHING AT? OUR CREW IS GONE, WE'RE STUCK ON SOME WEIRD ISLAND…AND WE'RE ALL ALONE…WHY SHOULD WE BE LAUGHING?" Luffy just sat there looking at his navigator with an odd smile on his face.

"Silly Nami" Luffy murmured. Nami wasn't sure whether to be enraged or confused by the statement. Her thoughts were soon interrupted by a small piece of paper which Luffy held in front of her. Nami's eyes suddenly brightened as realisation dawned upon her.

"The…vivre card…" she whispered happily. Luffy nodded.

"The bear man failed, we can still get back together and reunite with the rest of the crew" he finished with a grin. Unfortunately for Nami, Luffy's grin was like a fever and soon, she was infected with a bright smile across her face. Luffy nodded at her smiling face, pleased with her happier mood.

"LET'S GO FIND THE CREW!" Luffy bellowed and began running forward, dragging Nami by her hand. This surprised the Navigator so much that it took her a few minutes to speak again.

"Luffy…what are you doing?" she eventually asked. Luffy turned around slightly and looked at the navigator in slight surprise.

"WE'RE GOING TO FIND THE CREW" he yelled again with another smile.

"Then tell me Luffy…what if we're on an island?…an uninhabited one?…and there are no boats to buy at the port?…because there's no port?…and we're stranded here?" the navigator said, her anger slowly rising. Luffy continued running for a moment and then slowly stopped. The captain looked back at Nami for a second, his eyes looking deep into hers. Nami almost became numb from the way he stared at her. Eventually, Luffy began to smile.

"You think too much Nami"

A fist to his face was his reply.

"I think just the right amount thank you!" Nami yelled furiously "YOU'RE the one who doesn't think enough" Luffy looked at her confused, as if she had just something like "her foot tasted good" Luffy shrugged and sat down on a nearby tree root.

"So, what do you think we should do then?" he asked in confusion.

"Well" Nami explained "I think we should try to get to the coast…and then if there's no-one on this island, then we'll have to build a boat or a raft of some kind to sail out there" Luffy watched her with interest and then nodded.

"Okay, but we'll need some food first" he declared with his trademark grin. Nami groaned at this, though she had to agree, as she was quite hungry herself. As if on queue, a large warthog bounded through the trees and began looking around. Luffy smiled grabbing Nami's hand once more and began to give chase.

The warthog never stood a chance.

"FOOD!"

Luffy and Nami quickly gathered firewood and in a matter of minutes, a fire was burning nicely. Luffy rubbed his hands together and licked his lips as he watched the warthog being cooked. It had been Nami's idea to cook the beast using a huge contraption to turn the warthog whilst it was being cooked, making both sides easily burnt. He looked up at her as she pushed and pulled on the lever, turning the warthog around to be cooked evenly. Somehow, Luffy found himself draw to the swaying motion and focused his eyes on Nami's body. His heart beat increased and he smiled widely at her.

"Now that's something I'd like to eat" he commented licking his lips.

"Don't worry Luffy it'll be ready soon" Nami replied, shocking Luffy out of his stare. The straw-hat captain looked away blushing slightly. Was he just watching Nami? Why had he said that? Luffy attempted to look at Nami but at the sight of her, he couldn't help but blush again. Turning away to the ground, Luffy closed his eyes and shook his head…but the image of Nami smiling at him, cooking the warthog was still engraved in his mind. Shaking his head again, he chose to watch the cooking warthog.

"Nami looks better though" he thought to himself.

Nami couldn't even look at Luffy. It wasn't because she liked him more than a friend and it wasn't because he always never wore a shirt that covered his chest. It was because in that moment, she had seen just how dangerous Luffy was when he hadn't eaten for days. The rubber man had literally leapt onto the food and had begun eating away at the warthog. Whilst a small part of her thought this was "cute" and added to Luffy's childlike nature, the rest of her had voiced their utmost discust at the raved haired man's eating habits. For one second, she almost wished that Sanji had been there to "correct" this brute's eating manners (probably with a boot to the head). Nami shook her head in anger and strolled away from the hungry straw-hat captain. After that moment on, Nami swore that she HAD to teach Luffy some table manners. Until then, Nami would just have to avoid looking at him whilst he was eating…no matter how tempting the offer was. Sighing, Nami crouched down amongst the shrubbery and began looking for anything edible. Nami looked around on the floor and soon found a mushroom with an oddly green colour on top of it. Plucking it off the ground, Nami began to examine it

"What's that?" Luffy asked from behind her, startling Nami. The orange haired navigator sighed and regained her composure and held the mushroom up to her companion. Luffy took a second to analyse the mushroom and then smiled.

"Ah Nami, this mushroom is a laughing mushroom" he said happily, before receiving a smack around his head from said navigator.

"Idiot, there's no such thing as laughing mushrooms" she growled angrily, ignoring Luffy's pout.

"Yes there is, I read about it in Chopper's book…" Nami looked at Luffy with a disbelieving frown.

"…Okay, so Chopper told me about it and showed me the picture in his book, BUT THEY ARE REAL!" Luffy replied angrily. Nami frowned slightly and watched as Luffy plucked another mushroom from the collection that Nami had took hers from and demonstrated by eating it. A few seconds passed before Luffy burst into laughter.

"Shi-shi-shi I told you I was right AHAHAHA" Luffy bellowed loudly as he rolled on the floor laughing. Nami sighed.

"Liar" Nami muttered.

"I thought I couldn't lie!" Luffy mumbled to himself in confusion. Nami's eyes widened. Unfortunately, the dumbass was right.

"Try some if you don't believe me" he suggested. Nami turned her head and looked down at the collection of mushrooms below her. With a snap and a snip, Nami had plucked off a mushroom and, at Luffy's annoying request, took a small bite out of the mushroom.

After chewing for a second, Nami paused. She had a sudden feeling at the pit of her stomach. Suddenly, the feeling seemed to bubble and rose up her throat. She felt for a second like she was going to be sick. She closed her eyes as her mouth seemed to forcibly open on its own. Nami shuddered as the feeling reached her mouth and…

"HAHAHAHAHA" Nami laughed loudly, shaking with a sudden joy. The laugh echoed around the forest and Nami collapsed on the floor, rolling side to side as she laughed. Luffy watched her confused as she joyfully rolled around. Eventually, Nami's loud laughter died down and the orange haired navigator lay on the floor in silence. It felt so good to laugh…but this time, it felt kind of empty. Sitting up, Nami glared at Luffy, who nervously shuffled slightly away. Nami look slowly changed however. Her anger became sadness and she watched Luffy as he looked at her in confusion.

"Please Luffy…" she whispered with sorrow "Don't let me eat those things ever again" Luffy gaped in slight surprise at his navigator's sadness, but nodded regardless. He wasn't the kind of guy to force something on someone who didn't want it. That was especially the case with his navigator.

Nami shivered slightly from the taste of emptiness it left in her mouth but turned back to Luffy with a small smile. Luffy, now seeing his navigator was still okay, was now trying over mushrooms in the clearing, commenting aloud on the taste.

"Hmm…ANGRY! DAMN YOU PAW PAW BASTARD!"

"Hmm…SAD! WHAAA SANJI, FOOD…"

Nami sighed loudly. She was going to be driven insane by this idiot at this rate. The orange haired navigator stood up slowly. She stretched her arms up into the air and then yawned loudly. Looking back at Luffy, Nami suddenly remembered something.

"Luffy" she said, attracting his attention "I've just realised I left my Clima-Tact back where we landed. I'm gonna have to go back and get it" Luffy looked at her with a slightly worried face.

"Want me to come to?" he asked. Nami shook her head.

"We're pretty near to there now…I mean, after you finished chasing the warthog" she giggled

"No fair Nami, he was fast!" Luffy said with a fake pout. The straw-hat captain grabbed his trademark straw-hat off his head and casually threw it to Nami, who barely caught it and looked at it with uncertainty.

"It's for good luck" he explained. Nami smiled at this and began walking back to the clearing.

Reaching the large crater in the middle of the large clearing, Nami slowly lowered herself down into the pit. The dirt shifted beneath her feet as she shuffled down into the bottom of the crater. Looking around the hole in the ground, Nami could hardly believe how perfectly orb shaped the crater was. Kuma surely knew how to dig a hole. At the centre of the crater, she could see her trademark Clima-Tact, which she assumed had fallen off of her belt as she had landed. The pieces appeared slightly dusty but it seemed to be alright. Nami crouched down as picked up the Clima-Tact. She carefully lifted one of the three components and looked down the hole where Usopp (god bless his awesomeness) had crafted dials for the soul purpose of making her special weather attacks. Unfortunately, the dials were dusty. A good clean and they'd work again perfectly. However, with the increasingly obvious lack of towns, it would be very difficult to do so. Nami gathered up the three pieces of her Clima-Tact and then stood up, ready to climb back up out of the pit.

"Quickly, the smoke came from over here"

Nami froze. That…wasn't Luffy's voice. There was someone else here.

"I wonder what could have made the smoke, the saga of "what could do this""

Nami dropped to her knees. There were 2 of them.

"Margaret, are you sure the smoke came from this way?"

There were 3 OF THEM? Nami's face grew pale as she listened to the conversation.

"Positive Aphelandra, we're close to the area now"

"But what if someone made the smoke, the saga of "friend or foe""

"If someone did sneak onto the island, then we will have to execute that person on behalf of the snake princess"

Nami was now shaking. Oh yes, these people were definitely hostile…but…where the hell was Luffy when you needed him? And who the hell was this snake princess?

"Hey Sweet Pea, Margaret, look, there's a crater in that clearing"

Nami trembled even more. They had found her. These monsters (whoever or whatever they were) had found her.

"Alright, Sweet Pea circle around the crater to the left, Aphelandra circle round to the right, we don't know what's in here"

Nami was silently panicking. She needed to escape. Running would be too dangerous with them surrounding her. She had to hide…HIDE WHERE? She was in the middle of a pit. Lucking down, Nami noticed the Clima-Tact pieces she had hung on her belt. She quickly grabbed them. The dials were still too dusty to do anything with. Nami felt herself begin to sweat nervously as she breathed frantically into the Clima-Tact. Some dust escaped…but most of the dust still clogged up the dials.

"Come on…" Nami found herself muttering "Hurry, before…"

Margaret slowly crept towards the crater in the round. She glared at the pit as if it was a feral beast. This crater was definitely suspicious. Every precaution had to be taken to ensure the safety of Amazon Lily. Even if it meant murder. With a slight shudder, Margaret looked over at her two friends. Sweet Pea was the nearest to the hole and was excitedly twirling her snake staff around in her hand. Aphelandra was also approaching from the side as slowly as possible in an attempt to sneak up to the pit. Smiling and nodding at her comrades, Margret approached the pit with cautious steps. After slowly approaching the pit, Margaret grabbed onto her snake staff tightly and quickly stepped forward and gazed into the pit. The crater was empty. A small wind blew around the hole in the ground…yet there was still no sign of anyone. Margaret immediately straightened up and glanced at Sweet Pea and Aphelandra. Both seemed as surprised as she was. Margaret shook her head and began to walk away from the hole.

"Come on" she called to her hunting party and the three of them began to trek back into the jungle, searching for the disturbance from before. If they allowed someone to illegally enter Amazon Lily, they would be…

Dead. The one word Nami had thought in the pit. She was so dead. These women looked like warriors and strong warriors at that. If she hadn't managed to cast a quick but effective mirage tempo when she had, the strange snake weapons the women were carrying may have decided she looked quite tasty. Nami almost vomited at the thought…or maybe that was the mushroom. Nami clutched her stomach and groaned.

"Damn you Luffy" she murmured. Suddenly, she realised what she had said.

"Luffy…"

The idiot was still out there eating mushrooms...

"Oh shit…" were the last words Nami spoke before her legs finally regained motion and she quickly vaulted out of the pit. With her Clima-Tact in hand, Nami sprinted forward through the jungle after the female warriors.

It soon became very obvious to Nami that the warrior women were a lot faster than her, probably faster than Kalifa. Nami smiled slightly remembering the look on the woman's face when she had finished her off with her thunder lance tempo. That move was definitely going to be useful in the future. As Nami continued to charge through the trees, dodging branch and root alike, a thought came over her. Turning to her left, she had realised that she had been travelling the wrong way for the past few minutes.

"God damn it Zoro, your horrible sense of direction is contagious" Nami muttered angrily under her breath. The navigator began her marathon again, this time heading in the direction of the mushrooms. Vaulting over the tree roots and sliding past tree trunks soon became tiring and Nami became more enraged by the second. Finally, she snapped.

"LUFFY, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" Nami bellowed as loud as she could. She was surprised to hear a rustling in reply from not to far away. Nami quickly sneaked behind a tree. Peeking out from her hiding spot, she could see the blonde haired woman from before looking out from a small clearing.

"What was that Margaret?" a voice bellowed from behind her. Margret turned around and faced the direction of the voice.

"I'm not sure Sweet pea. I think it was some sort of wild animal though" Margret replied. Nami had to restrain herself from shouting an angry reply.

"Wild animal my foot" she muttered angrily under her breathe, before turning to see what was going on in the clearing.

The sight was so strange she almost screamed in shock. The three warrior women were standing around some sort of odd mushroom patch…with hair…and skin…

"Oh my god, It's Luffy!" Nami thought as she let out a small surprised yelp. What the hell had Luffy done to transform into a living mushroom? Turning deathly silent, Nami leaned forward slightly, listening intently to the voices.

"Well Sweat Pea, what do you make of this?"

"Well…she could be someone from the village…"

"Luffy's not a girl" Nami muttered angrily, listening to the conversation.

"Whoever she is, she looks like she could need some help. I mean, she has eaten the "Mushrooms-Growing-On-Your-Body" Mushrooms so she'll definitely need help"

Nami groaned quietly.

"A mushroom that makes mushroom's grow on your body? That's as ridiculous as fruits that give you special powers…" Nami murmured but suddenly saw her mistake and sighed.

"Great, Luffy's stupidity is contagious too" she groaned and pressed her ear back to the tree.

"…so this is the saga of "we've got no time to lose"

"Precisely. Aphelandra, can you help carry her back to the village?"

"Sure"

Nami slowly leaned out of her hiding spot and watched as the tallest woman, who she guessed, was this "Aphelandra", picked up Luffy and flung him over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes. As the Amazons set off slowly towards the village, Nami carefully crept along behind them. She was not going to lose Luffy like she had lost the others. There was no way on earth.

To be continued in Chapter 3: Crazy (Rainbow star)

(You can tell I'm getting stuck for Chapter names)

Separated from Luffy on Amazon lily, Nami journeys deep into enemy territory to rescue her captain. Will Nami be able to fake her way into the city to save her captain? And who's this Snake princess everyone keeps talking about?

Until then I'm Shadowonthewall6 and I hope you've enjoyed this chapter.

Please review. Positive criticism is welcome.
