Chapter Three

Oh whoops i forgot to add why she was on the ship in the story. Well

the strawhats were on an island when Smoker attacked them. They were surrounded until Zoro took the nearest marine and threatened to kill the marine so Smoker let them go and when the Strawhats were far away, they looked at who they got and saw that it was Tashigi.


"Luffy! I see a navy ship ahead!" Usopp yelled as he ran around like a chicken.

"Yay! We get to have some fun!" Luffy cheered with a goofy smile.

Sanji throttled Luffy. "You call fighting with the navy fun?" Sanji screamed with a annoyed tone of voice.

"Sorry Sanji." Luffy said.

Nami saw the captain of the navy ship in the distance. "Guys! We're in for some trouble! That is Smoker's ship!"

Everybody stopped what they were doing.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Chopper screamed. He went right into the men's dorm. Few moments later Zoro came out wide-awake.

"Its Smoker!?" Zoro asked. Even Nagi came out at the sound of the name.

"Isn't that Tashigi's captain?" Nagi asked with a hopeful voice. Everyone nodded. "Oh I know him. Can we go meet them?"

"Um we're kinda on the top wanted pirates for Smoker." Luffy said.

"We could greet them and we would behave ourselves. Right guys?" Zoro said with a grin innocently.

Everyone grinned except for Nagi who didn't understand.

"Ill tell Tashigi the news." Nagi said about to walk to the women's dorm.

"No need I will." Zoro said blocking Nagi.

"Oh don't worry. I have no problem in getting her." Nagi said with a 'get out of my way look'

"I said that I would do it!" Zoro yelled with eyes that said 'ill get her you bastard'

With that they both rushed to the women's dorm pushing a shoving along the way. Nagi got up the stairs first but Zoro managed to jump in front of him. Zoro opened the door to the room but pushed down on his face by Nagi.

"Tashigi! Your captains navy is coming!" Nagi yelled with a victory smile. He opened his eyes. Tashigi was still sleeping with the covers up to her shoulders. Nagi seeing that he almost woke her up slowly walked backward and closed the door behind him. He then smiled when he knew that Zoro was still in the room.

Zoro rubbed his forehead and looked around. He was in a room with three beds. One of them had someone in it. It was Tashigi sleeping. He slowly got up about to walk to the door but froze when he heard a moan. A sweat trickled down his back. If she saw him in the room, she would have the wrong idea about him. He started to lift his feet off the floor when he heard the bed creak. He slowly turned around. She only turned to the other side. Zoro started to walk toward the door but quickly slid under a bed when he heard someone knocking. 'That damn Nagi' He heard the bed next to the one he was under creak. He heard footstep walking toward the door. He quickly slid under Tashigi's bed so he couldn't be seen when the door opened.

"Nagi? What are you doing here?" Tashigi asked.

"Oh I wanted to tell you that we are about to meet Smoker." Answered Nagi, "By the way. Did you see Zoro?"

"No."

"Oh okay. Well ill see you later."

Zoro sweated even more when he saw a pair of feet next to the bed. Something was taken from the table next to the bed. He saw the feet walking to the bathroom. Now was his chance. He slid out from under the bed and ran to the door. When he opened it he heard Tashigi.

"Um Zoro?"

He slowly turned around to find Tashigi looking at him from the doorway to the bathroom. Her hair was kind of out of place because she just woke up but the rest of her looked regular.

"Oh hi Tashigi." Zoro said with a forced smile. "I wanted to tell you that we found Smoker."

"I know. Nagi told me." Tashigi said with a smile. "Oh and Nagi wanted to know where you were."

"I bet he did." Zoro muttered under his breath.

"Excuse me?"

"Oh nothing. See you later." With that Zoro closed the door behind him.

Tashigi stared at the door where Zoro went out. 'Weird' with that she went back in the bathroom.

"We're about to make contact!" Usopp yelled, "and I don't think Smoker look all that happy!"

"Don't worry about that. He wont hurt you guys if Im hear." Nagi said calmly with a smile.

"Why wont he hurt us if you were with us?" Usopp asked still holding his slingshot just in case.

"Oh its because we were childhood friends." Nagi answered.

Just then Tashigi came out of the room with one of Nami's shirts and her marine jacket and also her marine pants. She had her sword at her side.

When the pirate ship met with the marine ship Nagi jumped up to the marine first, then Tashigi, next Zoro, Luffy, Chopper, Nami, Usopp. Robin and Sanji were to take care of the boat.

Smoker slowly walked toward the group. "Welcome back lieutenant Tashigi."

"Glad to be back captain." Tashigi answered with a straight face.

"Yo Smoker! Long time no see!"

Smoker slowly turned to the 'all to familiar voice' "Nagi." Smoker muttered lowly when he saw his old friend. "What are you doing here."

"What? Your not asking how your best friend is still alive?" Nagi mocked.

"I knew that you were alive you blonde." Smoker said annoyed. Then he saw Luffy. 'He came right to me huh'

"Hey! Nagi said that you wont hurt us!" Chopper said as the marines slowly walked toward the group.

"Ya Nagi tell him!" Usopp said as he fitted a small smoke bomb in his slingshot.

Zoro took some of his blade out with his thumb just in case.

Luffy balled up his hands ready for a fight.

Smoker turned to Nagi with a eyebrow up. "Did you really say that Nagi?"

"Yah why?" Nagi asked. "They treated your lieutenant very nicely."

"Is that true Tashigi?" Smoker asked turning to her.

"Yes sir." Tashigi said with a truthful expression.

The atmosphere in the area tensed up while the silent captain thought up a decision.

Smoker sighed. "Fine we wont hurt the strawhats, but! If anyone of them try anything stupid, im going to kill them."

Everybody eased off.

"So Smoker. Can I have some beer?" Nagi asked with a smile.

Smoker just groaned. This guy was getting on his nerve. 'Im going to kill this guy if he talks one more wo…' but his train of thought was cut off by Tashigi.

"Captain. Please give me permission to stay with the strawhats." Tashigi said.

Everyone was shocked except for Nagi who knew why and Luffy who loved to have new people who were willing to go to adventures.

Zoro stared at the lieutenant as if she said something really ridiculous. "What are you talking about Tashigi? We don't know when we are going to meet with Smoker's ship!"

"Then I will just wait. Anyway, I have someone to meet when I catch up to the PhantomGhost." Tashigi said with her back to him. Then she turn around to him. She had a smile saying that she didn't care.


"Bye Navies!" Luffy yelled as he waved his hand.

"Shut up Luffy unless you want to get a big bruise on your face." Sanji said as he walked passed him to the kitchen to make dinner.

Zoro looked over to Nagi and Tashigi who were leaning on the rail on the side of the ship together. Some how he felt angry with Nagi. His mind was telling him to go there and talk to Tashigi but he didn't. He just stood there in the shadow under the stairs.

"Dinner's ready!"

Zoro heard everyone running or walking to the kitchen. He stayed watching the two on the rail. Sanji called out to the two of them but he saw Nagi stopping Tashigi and calling out to Sanji that they were going to stay there a bit longer. He saw them talking for a bit but he slowly shrunk back more when he saw both of them leaning to each other. Zoro backed off to the door to the cellar and went inside. He took out his personal beer. It was a very strong alcohol that got him to forget anything he was thinking about. It never failed once. He took a jug and filled it to the brim. He drank it all in one swig. Zoro blinked his eyes to get rid of the water. It was along time when he last drank this but he liked the feeling. He took another jug full but the thing he was thinking for was too strong. He took about five more jug fulls until he got drunk but this still didn't clear his mind of the scene that he saw. He came out of the cellar. He looked to the rail where he saw the two. He shook his head and went to the kitchen. When Zoro opened the door, he saw no one. 'How long was I in the cellar?' Zoro thought to himself. He found his cold dinner on the kitchen counter. 'Dang its soup' Zoro absolutely hated cold soup but he wasn't hungry anyway. He dragged his feet to his room. He came to his bunk and was about to lie down but stopped when he saw a piece of paper between his desk and his bed. He picked up the paper and opened it up. When he saw it he quickly folded it up again and put it in a shelf. He laid awake on his bed thinking of the paper. One word that came to his mind that he saw on the paper was…………… Nagi.
