{Until Quinn gets to the Luffy and co. the story is gonna be in third person. When she does reach them, then I'll shift to first. Disclaimer: I do not and will never own One Piece. I am not a mastermind like Oda…sadly T_T}
Chapter two: Why can't I see my savior?
Down the rabbit hole (tree), into the ocean, and onto the shore; and Quinn was still asleep!
The poor girl's body decided that it had enough resting time, so she woke up. Slowly opening her eyes, she allowed the sun to pierce her eyeballs. Recoiling in pain and rolling over, the teen acquired a mouthful of sand.
'OMG! Where am I? Am i dead? No. Stay calm, Quinn. Breath. In out, in out.' She started to do yoga poses to try and calm herself when she felt a presence behind her. 'Is it a bear? Please don't eat me, im too skinny to be eaten.' She turned slowly around and witnessed a shirtless man with an orange hat waving at her.
"Konichiwa!"
Quinn decided that would be a good time to pass out.
-later-
Quinn once again let in sunshine through her eye lids. She felt something hot on the front of her, flattening her already small chest. Opening one eye, she came face to face with a giant tattoo. She sucked in air, then coughed. 'I'm being carried. By someone i do not know. Who could be taking me to my death. -whimper-' The man heard the sound and turned his heard around. He smiled then faced forward again.
Quinn looked around to see where they were, and judging by the scenery in the middle of the ocean. She looked up: sky. She looked right: ocean. She looked left: ocean. She looked down: flaming feet. She looked forwa-
"AAHHH!" Quinn immediately took her shirt off to try and reduce the flames. The man looked shocked at her sudden stripper moment, then realized what she was trying to do. He tried to stop her but ended up pushing her into the water instead. Down she floated, bubbles circling her head and arms. 'This is it. I'm gonna die. So long, cruel world.' Darkness enveloped her.
-once again, later-
The sound of laughing acted as an alarm clock to Quinn's ears. She sat up right fast enough to be called impossible. Under her butt was a soft mattress, and covering her was a blanket. Seagulls cried off in the distance; the smell of salt stung her eyes. 'Okay, okay. Stay calm. You don't know where you are. Find the door..door...' Quinn rolled out of bed, crawled to the door, and grasped the handle. Turing it, she stepped out into the sun.
Almost immediatly, the overwhelming sensation of testosterone attempted to eat her phemerones. Although it was blurry, she could see men, more men, and only men. Just then, the same orange hat wearing man cam up to her and smiled. 'Creepy,' Quinn thought. He motioned for her to follow him, and she did without question. By the looks of it, Quinn could deduce that they were on a ship, and a rather large on at that. The men started to stop what they were doing and stare in the odd pairs direction.
The man stopped walking and Quinn bumped into his back. Then she heard a big laugh. In front of them was the largest human she had ever seen; not large as in weight, large as in EVERYTHING! From his feet to his moustache, he emitted an aura that said friend... but the girl still wasn't sure. The orange hat man started to converse with the giant. Just then, all the men on deck formed a circle around Quinn and started to talk non-stop. 'I can't understand them, they are too close, and I want to scream. No, no. You have more control than that.'
Quinn raised a hand as if to say "stop", and they did like a pack of puppies. A man with big hair and a scar around his left eye suddenly took Quinn's hand and kissed. She was too flabergasted to do anything. He looked up at her face and said, "Namae?" SHe had no fucking idea what that meant. He pointed to himself and said, "Thatch." then pointed to a pale man with blonde, pineapple hair and said, "Marco."
'Name! He means name!' Quinn copied his movements and said, "Quinn." The man named Marco shook his head then smiled. Hat boy came back over and did the same. Then he pointed to himself and said, "Ace." The giant laughed and ordered the nurses something. Ace walked over to Marco and started to chit-chat. Quinn felt so out of place so she just stood there. Thatch tried once again to kiss her hand, but she smacked him in the face causing the man to tumble backwards into Marco and Ace. Pineapple head turned around with fire in his eyes, quite literally. Quinn didn't believe what she was seeing! Ace shook an arm toward Thatch, his whole arm covered in red flames, while Marco began transforming into waht looked like a bird.
Red and blue flames. Coming out of their bodies. Others ignoring it as if totally normal. All the stress from the past 3 hours finally caught up with her and she collapsed in a heap on the ground. The last thing she heard was a worried Ace calling her name.
-much later-
Bed, again. Sea salt, again. Light from under the door, again. But something was different; she heard laughter and yelling, and snoring, and explosions. She stood up and bumped her shoeless feet into the night stand. On it was a cup of water, which she drank quickly. The girl stalked toward the slowly, then grabbed the rounded handle. She gave out a couple of quick breaths to calm herself.
She pushed it open, only to hear, "Gomu gomu panchinko!" The wind was knocked out of her as she and the person rolled back into the dark room.
