Hi, people!
It's been really difficulty for me to find a beta. Is it normal? Someone have some tip or indication? I really want his fic to be nice for native english people. :-(
Anyway, another chapter is on! Hope you guys like it ... and the things will soon get really serious!
They all stood there waiting for Franky and the Heart Pirates to finish the works on the submarine.
Usopp was on the right side, trembling but extremely aware for any thing suspicious.
Sanji was on the left side, eyes closed, smoking calmly.
And Zoro left with Robin to take a look at the island - she wanted to see that strange place and he was bored out of his mind, he was certain that he would sleep, if he stayed there with everyone.
Law heard a big sigh, he was certain that Luffy wanted to get his attention, so he turned to the young man, raising a eyebrow.
"It's sucks...you have something to do?"
"No."
Luffy was kicking the air, making strange noises, when Law seeing how the lack of what to do was bothering the young captain, decided to provoke him.
"Well...sorry if my presence is boring to you..."
Luffy turned to him, with surprised eyes and quickly respond.
"No! You do not bore me...Being boring and moody is who you are, and I like it..."
Law smiled at that, but Luffy continue to talk
"...It's so much fun to make you all embarrassed about something I did or didn't do, if you aren't boring and uptight, it wouldn't happen, and I love it."
Law blushed and tried to hide his face on the fluffy of his clothe, looking away from Luffy and with a low voice he spoke
"Why don't you go with Robin-ya and Zoro-ya? Maybe you will find something interesting to do."
Luffy gave him one of those all teeth's smile, throwing his arms in the air.
"Yosh! I will go with them, if I find something nice I will bring it to you!"
"There is no need to..."
And Luffy was gone. Like always didn't wait for him to finish and simply ignored his wishes - and what most bothered Law is that it doesn't bother him anymore.
Still hiding his blushing face from everyone that could possible see it, he got himself thinking, Luffy-ya had gone with Robin-ya and Zoro-ya, but the two left had been a while, which means that Luffy-ya would have to find them first and that got him a little preoccupied.
"Ei! Trafal-guy! Can you help us here? We found something blocking our SUPER progress."
Law got up and walked to where Frank-ya and his crew are, forgetting about Luffy - after all the young man had lived so far without him there to warn him and he is the strongest of all of them, what could possible go wrong?
~~ Robin and Zoro - Somewhere ~~
"This is really strange..."
Zoro looked at Robin for a instant, then he looked around and not finding anything strange at all, return to the archeologist.
"What?"
"This island. It's a island but at the same time it isn't."
Zoro still completely lost.
Robin smiled at his confusion and continued.
"The interference in communications, the lack of fauna and flora, and the metallic air, this place does not fit any known kind of geography. Not to mention that there are no mountains, depressions, plains, it is too flat."
"What is good...we got less tired from all the walk, in such a field."
"It is, but at the same time it is not natural."
Zoro started to think and didn't even noticed that he was going to a different direction, getting farther and farther away from Robin.
~~ Luffy - Somewhere ~~
Luffy didn't understand Torao sometimes.
Torao was so quiet and serious, but then he let this normal side out, and he doesn't understand why he likes it so much.
He also never get why Torao is his ally, of course he is strong, of course he was there in Punk Hazard, Dressrosa and Kaido, but even so what they have in common?
But then, why did Torao saved him?
They barely know each other, and even so Torao risked his life and the life of his crew to save him, to protect him, more than one time. And in Dressrosa, when all of his hakis were active because of Mingo, he listened - even if he didn't want to, he felt Torao's determination - Torao was going to be there to see his victory or to die by his side.
At the time he didn't gave it a second thought, but after it all as over, and in the infermary he stood by Torao's side he thought about it again.
That kind of loyalty was what he expected from his crew, his friends - to seebut it, to feel it coming from Torao was something entirely different, it brought that strange sensation on his body that only goes away when he eat meat.
He wanted Torao on his crew.
And he felt that Torao also wanted to be by his side.
But even so, Torao walked away, promising to meet him again - he was happy that it became true so fast, but he also didn't like the motives behind it.
He wanted Torao to come to him because he wants to, and not because he is in danger or in need of help.
Despite it all, Torao was there with him, with his friends and that alone was reason enough to throw any doubt in the air, why worry about it?
Lost in his thoughts, Luffy that was suposed to find Robin and Zoro ran to a completly different direction.
~~ Submarine's Group - Left Side ~~
That damn Marimo!
He talked to him like it was something important that would need them both, got him all hype up, and then walked away with his sweet Robin-swan.
He won't even be there to protect her - He was certain that moss head won't be able to stay on the path for more than five minutes, ten at best.
Sanji was on his sixth cigarette, tapping his foot on the ground, questioning how long would it take.
He knew for a fact, that even if the submarine's group finish their job, they would still have to wait for the lost swordsman - like always.
He however didn't had the time to become pissed, because the Den Den Mushi started to ring.
~~ Submarine's Group - Right Side ~~
The great Captain Usopp and his 8000 followers would protect everyone.
He is the best shooter in the world, he is the Sogeking!
And then Usopp felt something strange.
He got scared, and tried to ignore it - the feeling however didn't stopped and even his legs started to shake and he felt a enormous desire to run away. He quickly grabbed the Den Den Mushi and called Sanji that was on the other side.
"Sanji! Did you felt it too?"
"Felt what?"
"This creepy sensation..."
"It's nothing, Usopp. It's just your ima..."
They didn't ended their conversation, Usopp got ready to shoot and Sanji turned to where he believed Law was.
~~ Submarine's Group - near the coast ~~
Law was using one of his 'Room' to move a pretty big metal piece of something.
It appeared small, he and Franky looked at it and doesn't appeared to be bigger than a mastro, but when he started to move it, it showed to be bigger than they all thought.
He was distracted, all his concentration on the object he was moving inside his 'Room'.
Far away he only listened to Black Leg-ya yelling his name, then he saw Robo-ya's face, running to him and only then he noticed the danger he was in.
How could let his guard down?
He didn't had time to blame himself, he also could not drop that large piece of metal, it would at the best of the hipoteses, crush his submarine, or could even kill some of his crew, Shachi and Penguin are to close by.
He then thought about grown the 'Room' bigger so he could teleport everything away, but then again, the fucking island was completely empty.
So he did what he had the time to do, he started to reorganize his organs, part of them was BlackLeg-ya's bento anyway - he was sure that even if he was successful in moving his organs out of the way, he cannot be sure of the size of what was coming to his direction, and then the bento could open and he would be in a very dangerous and painfull situation.
However he didn't see if he was successful or not, as Bepo crashed into him, sending him to the ground.
Bepo's head was killing him.
His Captain had given him some painkillers, it helped, but not ended his headache and it left him lethargic. He wanted to help, but all he could do was stay still - doctor's orders, Captain said.
However, even without haki, his instincts told him to push his Captain. He didn't know why, maybe if he was 100% percent he would fight against his instincts, but now he only did what his body told him to do, he got up and ran right into his Captain.
He saw his Captain's face, it showed surprise and confusion and then they collided - a white pain almost knocked him unconscious - his last's conscious acts was look at his Captain preoccupied face and mutter.
"Sorry..."
