Fullmetal Strawhats~ Chapter 2: What To Do
I Do Not Own FMA or OP
The countless stares from the crew looked at her, waiting for her reply. Zoro cracked an eye open from where he laid, also waiting. Edwina glared at them, "Mind your own damn business!" she growled pushing her way out of the circle that the crew had created around her and Alphonse, limping.
"Sister, you shouldn't be so rude. They are just curious, that's all." Alphonse assured as he quickly followed her, looking at Nami who looked upset. Luffy tilted his head side ways clearly confused. "Why not tell us?!" he whined, "What's so bad about it?! I want to know!" he pointed out, but instead of getting an answer by Edwina he got smacked in the head by Nami.
"OW! Why'd ya hit me Nami?!"
"You idiot! Can't you see that they don't want to tell us right now? They just met us!" she cried out before turning her attention back to the Elrics. "I'm sorry. I guess I kind of rushed on the whole questioning thing." Edwina nodded in acceptance of the apology.
Ussop then appeared in front of Edwina, holding up a bottle of oil. "Here. This will help, right? With your, uh, damaged leg?" Edwina looked at her leg before nodding. "Yeah, thanks." she took it and took a seat on the floor as she began oiling her automail.
Sanji gasped. "Oh dear! Its about time I make dinner!" he quickly reverted his gaze to the girl on the floor and the orange haired, eyes replaced with hearts as he swayed. "Nami~swan! Edwina~swan! Anything in particular you'd like?" he offered.
"Sanji! Meat!"
"Not YOU!"
Edwina glanced at Alphonse who appeared to be playing tag with Ussop and Chopper before moving her gaze back at the rest of the crew who had begun to argue about food. 'What a bunch of dumb asses' She threw the oil at Ussop and made her way around the ship to look around. It was beginning to get dark.
As she looked around, she spotted a head figure up ahead in the front of the ship. Edwina walked over to it, thinking for a while before making her way up on top of the head. She quickly adjusted herself before looking forward in amazement. From where she sat, it gave her a perfect view of the ocean up ahead.
Her thoughts went back to the events that had happened back with the Homunculus. The Philosopher's Stone had been a waste of their time looking for it after the revelation of the secret of making one had been revealed.
She knew deep down that for Alphonse and her sake, she needed to find another way to get their bodies back without using the Philosopher's Stone. Also, they had to keep an eye on the Homunculus once they show up.
Her thoughts were then interrupted by a abrupt voice that came from behind her.
"Hey! That's my spot!" she turned around and saw that it had been Luffy. He had a hand on his hip and the other pointing directly at her. Edwina blinked, looking down at the head she sat on and then back at him with a blank face.
"So?" she asked bluntly.
Luffy puffed out his cheeks. "Its my favorite spot on the ship!" he stopped thinking for a moment. "-but since you're a goddess I guess I won't mind!" he finished off happily as he made his way up picking her up, but before he could touch her… SMACK! Luffy fell to the ground, holding his head that now had a growing bump.
Edwina jumped off of the figure on to the deck and began walking away from him. Before she could though, Luffy sprang his arms out and wrapped them around her body. Edwina's eyes widen and began to violently wiggle out of his grip feeling embarrassed of the situation. "What the hell do you think your doing?! Let me go!" his grip tightened literally wrapping around her freaking her out. "Your arms-!"
Luffy grinned. "I'm a rubber man! I ate the Gum Gum Fruit!" he quickly. Edwina didn't bother asking what that meant and instead proceeded to kick him on the stomach with her automail leg, sending Luffy flying across the ship.
Edwina's eye twitched in annoyance as she saw him land hard on the deck. "What did you do that for?!" He shouted in annoyance and confusion.
Edwina didn't reply and instead began to walk away. "Hey," she stopped and sighed. "What is it?"
"I was just wondering what was making you sad." Edwina didn't reply and simply continued her way. 'I don't need someone asking me this, especially some dumb ass like him.'
"No."
"But-!"
"I said no Al! We just need to stay with them until they reach an town for us to stay and figure things out." replied the eldest as they laid in their beds. "You can't just forget about the Homunculus, if we are here, there is a high chance they are here too." Alphonse stayed quite.
"They're nice."
Edwina nearly fell off her bed. "Your kidding me?! They freakin' knocked me out and held us hostages!" she whispered furiously. "You might trust them, but I don't. They're crazy!" Al seemed to think for a while. "They were just being cautious of us, sister. Wouldn't you do the same if you were in their position?" Edwina grumbled. "Just shut up Al."
'Why does Al always have to be right?'
CRASH!
Edwina sat up quickly from her bed. "What the hell is going on?" she quickly threw the blankets off her and noticed that Al wasn't in the room. She slipped on her boots and coat before walking out towards the sound that was coming out of the kitchen. When she came in she quickly dodged the chair that hit the wall next to her.
Everything was a mess. All the crew members were yelling at the captain who had all the food and quickly shoving it in his mouth as the members tried to get it away from him. "Luffy! Stop hogging all the food!" Ussop yelled, but was then shoved away by Sanji who had fire in his eyes. "You little shit! Don't eat all the food! We have guests!" That's when she saw Al in the corner of her eye looking panicked, not knowing what to do.
"G-Guys! P-Please don't fight!"
Edwina sighed in annoyance as she walked away, up to the deck where she looked out at sea. 'Why do I have to deal with this crap? Al and I should be looking for a way home. I really hope an island shows up soon.'
She then saw a ship out in the distance, heading towards the Strawhats's ship. Edwina walked back in to the chaotic kitchen. "Hey I don't mean to bother, but there's a ship heading this way." she pointed out bluntly.
Everyone stopped shouting and fighting before they all ran out to the deck, nearly knocking her over.
"It's the marines!"
Shit. Things couldn't have gotten worse.
