Cyber: Well this chapter is a bit shorter as I had little to work with that episode ^^' I hope you guys enjoy and I'll try to make the next chapter longer!
Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece.
We waited for what seems hours for our idiot captain. Zoro, Nami, Usopp and Chopperhad gone into town again to look for Luffy. I stayed behind with Sanji, Vivi and Carue. I could use this time to get to know Sanji better.
"So, Sanji, Why'd you become a pirate?" I asked the blond. He looked at me. "Why I became a pirate you ask?" He echoed my question. His half spent cigarette was in his hand. He looked up for a bit then answered me.
"I became a pirate to find the All Blue." He said with a small chuckle. "The All Blue huh… That's a good reason, I know people say it's a myth but I have a feeling you think otherwise." I said inching closer to him. "You really think so Miora my sweet?" His eyes seem to shine with a child-like enthusiasm. This just made me smile. "Yeah, really." I replied. My tone was light and sweet.
"So what about you? I know Luffy hasn't asked you yet, but I think he will. Why sail with us?" It seemed it was Sanji's turn to ask questions. I tilted my head back to think. "I don't know… Wait I do, it's because it's fun and love you guys already so much. I do owe you my life but it's more of that I want to hang out with you guys and if Luffy asks me to join, I'll say yes." I said with a smile. "And by traveling with you guys, I might recover my memories, even if I don't, it wouldn't be that bad. I'll just make new ones." I said. I saw Sanji's face light up once more. I flicked my tail and it landed on Sanji's lap.
The blond froze. He looked down then slowly reached for my tail. I flinched slightly at the touch. "Oh sorry you just startled me, no harm done!" I said. "It's very soft." He said. "I know, I'm a fluffy loin! The kind that won't maul your face off if you try to pet it!" I said in a joking manner. The Cook laughed.
"So have you remembered anything yet?" Vivi asked joining in on the conversation. "Hmm yeah, I do remember my home being a hot place, not desert hot more savannah hot and I love to draw! Which reminds me, I got pencils and a sketch pad at the market!" I happily declared.
"Do you think they found Luffy yet?" I suddenly asked after a while. "Where could Luffy had gone? He doesn't know the island at all." Vivi said, she was starting to worry. "Seriously, a crew shouldn't work so hard to try to keep track of their captain." Sanji said with a sigh. "I suppose he is making it rather difficult." I said with a slight yawn. I had switched to my Lion form for no reason at all. The others arrived as Sanji spotted Nami.
"This doesn't look good. We can be in some serious trouble if we don't get out of here soon." Usopp said as they walked closer. I looked to them with a confused look. "Trouble? Why's that?" Sanji asked. "Because the Marines are here." Nami said. Vivi looked shocked. "Marines?" "And also some mystery man." Chopper added. He was in his Heavy Point form. "We should find Luffy as fast as we can." Zoro then pushed them behind the wall while saying "Hide." Nami asked why. There was screaming in the background. "What was that?" Chopper asked. Zoro peaked from the wall." It's the Marines." "Yah and their excited about something." Sanji then spoke. "I'm sure it's nothing, their probably some idiot pirate who's running crazy around town." With those words everyone yelled. "Some idiot pirate!?"
As if on some cue Luffy ran past us screaming as Marines chased him. He suddenly stopped when he spotted Zoro. "Oh hey Zoro!" Everyone's jaws dropped. "That idiot!" I hissed. "Oh so that's where you guys are!" Luffy cried out with a laugh as he ran towards us. "No! You moron! Get rid of them first!" The swordsman yelled. "We better get ready to run!" I said poking my head out from the stone wall. We got all our things and took off.
"Stop right there pirates!" A marine screamed at us. I had a bag in my jaws and I ran keeping pace with the rest of the crew. Then a gruff voice ordered them to fall back. Luffy began to chant "Not good." Over and over again. "White blow!" I heard the guy yell. Then from nowhere. "Heat Haze!" Fire intercepted the literal smoking fist. "Woah!" I cried out in shock. The fire turned into a shirtless person. "It's you!" The cigar man growled. "Heh, Give it up, While you may have smoke, Mine is fire. A fight between the two of us will be pointless." Fire guy said. So cool! Geez Luffy's rubbing off on me it seems. "The fight will probably go on forever."
"Alright it looks like the mystery man has devil fruit powers." Zoro said with his usual scowl. "Who is this guy anyways?" Usopp asked. "Why is he helping us?" "Don't question it long nose!" I said. It was muffled from thee bag in my string jaws though. Luffy seem to know this person as he asked if he was Ace. This Ace person also knew Luffy. We wanted to know how they knew each other. Ace had bought us some time to escape and we used that time to do so.
As we ran Sanji asked who that guy was. Nami and Vivi then continued to ask our captain Luffy replied with a laugh. "Yeah, he's my big brother!" That fact took a while to sink in…
"BROTHER!?" Well I did not expect that!
