One piece
Tale of the lyrialias
Chapter 7
To say the last few days had been a strain on Luffy, would be an understatement. For one Lyria wouldn't play or have fun with him anymore...Nami was smiling oddly as if she had won a huge victory. Pouting Luffy walked into the kitchen noticing Lyria avoid his eyes then looked to Nami who smiled brightly at him. he smiled back and sat down next to Cole ,who was taking a leaf from his book by trying to steal food off of the other crewmates plates, making said crew mates sigh exasperatedly.
Lyria felt down right awful her whole body was heavy and she hadn't been able to sleep in days. Eating was out of the question...sighing she gave Cole her food which caught Sanji's eye because no food wasted went past him. His eyes narrowed noticing Robin who was Also watching the singer cautiously.
"Singer-san...you should eat something"
Said person looked at robin and smiled weakly
"I'm fine, I'm not too hungry"
Robin looked unconvinced. She and the Lyrialias had gotten closer and acted like they had known eachother forever. Robin knew about Lyrias past and Lyria knew about hers. Robin also could Tell when the younger girl was lieing. She watched the singer stand and saw her waver. Frowning in concern she got up and steadied the girl
"Docter-san? I think Lyrie is i'll"
The rambunctious crew quieted. Nami rolled her eyes
"Robin she will be fine."
Annoyed with The navigator she glared making the other woman back up slightly. Luffy walked over and reached out to feel the spaced out Lyries forehead who flinched. The captain hesitated but promptly put a hand to her forehead,cringing at the heat it gave off. He looked at Robin
"She has been sleeping on the deck lately..."
Cole chose this moment to but in
"so have I but i'm fine"
Robin nodded
"No this is something else I have an idea, doctor-san if you will please get her to the sick bay I believe the crew should all meet down there and I will explain."
Chopper nodded and transformed carrying the spaced out girl who flinched at even that movement. They all made their way down to the sickbay and found a place to sit. Cole frowned
"Ma?"
Chopper frowned looking her over a little.
"I don't think she can hear anything Cole"
Nami huffed
"I'm sure she's just messing with us"
Robin stood angrily and started to walk angrily over to nami but was stopped by Luffy. She sat back down.
"Robin what is it you have to tell us?"
Luffy asked. The archaeologist nodded.
"I read up on her kind again. Not being close to their mates cause them to delve back into their deepest memories."
Zoro Frowned
"She doesn't have a mate on this ship though"
The swords man looked around and noticed their expressions were the same as his.
"Yohohoho! I see"
Sanji Glared at him
"See what you have no eyes!"
Brooke laughed then Sanji noticed he had made a Skull joke and got a sick look on his face. Robin rolled her eyes.
"A Lyrialis' Mate is almost always the captain of the ship."
Everyone turned to Luffy. Nami stood up angrily
"No WAY! You said almost always so it may not necessarily be Luffy!"
Robin smirked
"How bout a test navigator-san and a bet."
Nami looked warily at Robin
"Fine!"
Robin looked to Luffy for an ok he shrugged and smiled
"Sounds fun!"
He said giggling. Robin nodded
"If she wakes up from this horrible state by luffy's touch they get their own room...together and if she Doesn't then I will give you 500 beri for the rest of my life. I will also have everyone try to wake her so as to be fair."
Nami smiled thinking of the money she would get from this bet and nodded her consent.
"Sanji first, all it should take is holding her hand"
he took her hand but nothing happened it went on like that until it was down to Luffy.
"YOSH! MY TURN!"
He skipped over next to the bed. He reached out for her hand but he was stopped
"Luffy come on don't do this!"
Luffys hat covered his face from Nami's view.
"She will get better on her own"
Cole Glared at her!
"auntie Nami your a liar! I saw everything! You kicked her out of the room! It's all your fault!"
Nami strutted forward and slapped him across the face. Making everyone gasp out loud surprised she would do something like that. Cole didn't cry
"Your nothing compared to the mean man or ma's pa! Your just pathetic!"
Cole looked up glaring at her she moved to hit him again but was caught by an angry Luffy.
"Nami...get out"
Nami looked baffled
"But-"
He looked up at her, and for the first time since meeting Luffy she felt fear and walked away. Looking to Sanji for help he just took out a cigarrette and looked at the ground
"Maybe you need to go cool your head Nami"
crying she left the room.
"I never thought i'd see her do something like that whats wrong with her? That was definitely not SUPER!"
Luffy knelt next to cole and smiled taking his straw hat he placed it on the boys head
"You can let it out now"
A stream of tears burst forth as the small boy latched onto a baffled Luffy who just shrugged and held him after a couple minutes he looked at the tired boy and patted him on the head
"You were very brave and I know your worried about Lyrie lets see if we can get her better ok?then we can get sanji to make us all a lot of meat! Right Sanji!?"
Luffy Said smiling wide looking over to Sanji who nodded in agreement.
"Captain-san, all you have to do is hold her hand"
Luffy stood up and kneeled next to the bed taking her hand in his he felt her twitch at a bad memory.
"It's ok Lyrie i'm here I wont let anyone hurt you so come back to us where its safe neh?"
not knowing what possessed him as he leaned and put a small kiss to her lips and put his forehead against else was even more shocked when they heard him start singing...
I like you Girl you don't got nothing to prove to me I know that times have
been rough for the both of us But i'll pray for a change
The first thoughts on everyones mind were 'Luffy can sing?!' Ussop did a comedic fall to the ground While robin smiled knowingly. Luffy Smoothed the damp hair out of her face without caring how dumb he looked this was instinct and instincts is what he followed most of the time and if it could help Lyria then so be it.
You see this world has lots to offer, but in time it will go
dark and if this love is what we say
it is I'm sure we will go far and with a girl as sweet as you there's
not much else I can do but fall for you
he saw a little recognition in her eyes thinking it a good sign he kept the song going. Seing a light going from his hand to hers his eyes widened when he noticed it didn't hurt he settled down.
You know that I'm a wreck And You know I cant breathe At the edge of my seat with each word
As the months turn into years just know that I will wait...
here For you Cause I pray for a change
She came back to the real world and locked eyes with up she leaned her forehead against his lovingthis voice knowing she could get used to it and wouldn't mind it being there forever.
You see this world has lots to offer,
but in time it will go dark and if this love is what we say it is
I'm sure we will go far And with a girl as sweet as you
There's not much else I can do but fall for you
(for you)
(for you)
(for you)
Luffy smiled tenderly and wiped a stray leftover tear from the night mare and put a hand to her cheek.
You see this world has lots to offer,
but in time it will go dark and if this love is what we say it is
I'm sure we will go far And with a girl as sweet as you
There's not much else I can do but fall for you...
The last note died down causing her to frown a little going on pure instinct he pulled her face to his and kissed her. To say the crew standing behind them were shocked would be an understatement. Robin smiled
"I win Captain-san"
Luffy chuckled
"YOSH! Looks like you did shishishi!"
The bedridden girl looked dumbfounded at them both
"Win what?"
Robin smiled kindly
"Singer-san you have to stay with Luffy at night so you don't get ill again ill give you the book and you'll know why"
Still not understanding. She looked to Cole who was jumping up and down excitedly
"Does this mean I can Call Luffy pa now!?"
Luffy smiled and started jumping around with him. Causing Lyria to groan for one she had no idea what was going on...She looked at the book robin just gave her. And read the title turnig pale Robin laughed at the poor girls expressions
"MATES?!"
Everyone burst out laughing deciding not to tell her what nami had done to cole as not to ruin the moment.
"I've always wanted to be called daddy!"
Lyria groaned as Cole laughed on punching luffy in the arm
"Thats wuss like you have to be called pa duh!"
Seeing his smiling face...how the hell could she say no? She watched luffy ruffle Coles hair 'guess I'll give this a go...'
"I have to go make a room! This is super! I had an idea i've always wanted to try for a master bedroom!"
Franky bounded out of the room and went to work dding a new bedroom. Ussop frowned
"Luffy! I the great captain ussop-sama will take over protecting the mens quarters!"
Sanji kicked him in the head
"Don't decide these things on your own!"
Zoro smirked
"Leave him alone shitty cook!"
Thus a battle broke out. Not liking the mayhem Cole hid behind Luffy. Lyria gave an exasperated sigh
"Alright enoughs enough! Where the hell is franky going to put a whole bedroom?!"
she couldn't think of anywhere but franky walked back in with a confident smile.
"Inside the aquarium! It looks like a submarine on the outside but is spacious on the inside and is leak proof! Follow me i'll show you!"
Lyria looked wary but Luffy dragged her along behind them. Chooper made a move to protest but was stopped by Robin who just shook her head. Franky led them to a door that was somehow atteached to the aquarium opening it he led them through the small tunnel (like seaworld) and into the submarine room.
"SUGEI!!!"
Luffy said eyes widening. Taking in the big bed a dragged lyria over to it picking her up he jumped like a little kid
"Luffy!"
Lyria giggled trying to get him to stop.
"How did you do this franky!?"
Franky smirked
"cause i'm super!!"
Luffy set her down and walked to another door
"Whats that door lead to?"
Lyria asked walking over to where luffy was
"Thats the bathroom"
He said smiling proudly. Opening it she stood amazed by a huge tub/shower and a sink.
"Franky! Your a magician!"
The man in question blushed. Robin smiled and looked out the window noticing the water out side of it had gone dark signaling night time. A loud crash was heard above. Startled the looked up
"Cole you and your ma stay k?!" luffy said smiling signaling to the rest of the crew to head up on deck to see what was going on. They shot nami dark looks for not telling them.A pirate ship was shooting canons at them and was only ten feet away.
"HELLO STRAWHAT PIRATES! LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE A BIT OF A NAKAMA CRISIS! YOU ALL NOT GETTING ALONG?!"
A woman with dark hair smirked knowingly. Robin put two and two together
"Your a lyrialias! Your songs do different things and depending how your brought up..."
The woman smiled evily
"We have a smart one on board."
A man came up behind her
"This is the next ship with a Lyrialias on it my love"
he pulled her too him and kissed her disgustingly. Ussop made a gagging noise making luffy laugh and point
"Robin why is he eating her face off!"
Robin covered her mouth knowing this wasn't the time for games she got serious again
"What did you do to Nami!?"
Luffy got serious at that as he saw the womans slightly pretty face smile wickedly.
"Just sang a little dity if you had a knowing Lyrialias then you could take the spell offat any time"
The captain tried to get on the ship. But met the barrier he winced in pain causing the women to fall to the ground and curl into a ball. Panting she looked up at the barrier and snarled. The man they guessed was the captain lifted her up gently
"Sorry victoria..."
The man hummed a couple notes and she stood up fully. Robins eyes narrowed
"What was that!?"
Chopper voiced her thoughts. The man smirked which turned into a full blown laugh.
"Your Lyrialias must be really dumb not to know anything about herself and you all too for that matter. Victoria we don't need the orange hair girl take the spell of."
She hummed a few harsh notes making nami fall to the ground. Sanji raced to her side and held her up
"You bastard!"
Sanji snarled. Making the man laugh harder
"you lot will never get the one piece! I bet you haven't even been to the Lyrial islands so she and her mate can get training! "
Luffy glared
"SO WHAT! I"M GOING TO PUNCH YOUR FACE IN!"
The man smirked
"I'm guessing your the captain and mate...a word of advice your lyrialias will feel your bumps and bruises ten times worse if she doesn't know how to control it...What victoria experienced was because she had her guard down."
Luffy hesitated and looked to robin who nodded agreeing with the other captain.
"it seems this girl set up a mighty powerful barrier so we can't get through...so we will leave you be for now."
The evil man grinned as the woman spit at the ship. They sailed away leaving the bewildered crew who looked to luffy whos hair covered his face he looked up smiling
"Guess we go to the Lyrial islands! Shi shi shi"
Sanji left the recuperating nami and kicked luffy in the head.
"We all best be off to bed then ill navigate a course to the islands for tomorrow"
Nami said cautiously feeling bad about everything that had happened wishing she could just forget. Everyone nodded in agreement and luffy went to his new room noticing cole next to his moms form on the floor
"PA! She wont get up!"
Luffy knowing it prolly had something to do with when that man touched the barrier picked her up and set her on the bed.
"She'll be fine!"
Luffy said smiling he stretched his arm and pulled cole over to the bed too, remembering the times ace used to do this to reassure him
"To prove it you can stay with us tonight!"
Luffy slipped under the covers and felt Lyria latch onto his arm and felt cole move in next to him smiling he blew out the bed side candle leaving only darkness and warmth.
Well thats chapter seven! I know it gets lame and mushy :( I love that stuff though 3
