Chapter 7

A few days later~

It had been a few days since we left Nami's home, Luffy had become a wanted man and things were just starting to calm down a bit.

I was currently laying on the deck on a black chair wearing a black bikini top covered in silver swirls - which in my opinion was more like armor, considering the black was obsidian, and the silver was...silver - and short black denim shorts, let's just say I have a unique sense of fashion, hey if I'm going to dress like a girl I might as well look good doing it.

"I'm so hot that I'm actually in pain." I sighed.

"You are a shadow girl, so the sun probably hurts you~" Nami said from beside me.

"Never thought of it that way, but I guess it makes sense, I mean I get stronger at night, so I'm probably weaker in the sunlight.

"...Vampire..." I heard Ussop mutter.

"I heard that!" I yelled, smacking him over the head with a hand that I summoned from his shadow.

"The shadow demon has awoken!" Ussop cried, running away from various shadows that I sent after him.

"Wait, I got an idea!" I sang, "Shadow Shade!" I said. Instantly I had a shadowy umbrella over my head and the area around me was practically pitch black, and nice and cool. "Ahhh~ much better." I sighed.

"That is just creepy-" Nami said, turning the page of the newspaper, only for her eyes to bulge out of her head, "20,000,000 beri!" She gasped, then shoved a poster at my face.

"Huh, what's this?" I asked looking down at the poster, it was a wanted poster of me, I was standing in a shadowy area surrounded by shadow puppets while floating in mid-air, I had a wicked smile on my face and my eyes almost appeared to glow, it looked like it was taken on the night of the party when I ran into those marines on my way to the Merry, the poster read, "WANTED: Shadow Demon Natsu, 20,000,000 beri."

"Why wasn't this posted until now?" I asked nobody in particular.

"Beats me." Said a voice from behind me.

"Wha!" I screamed, turning around and coming face to face with Ray, "You scared the living shit out of me!" I yelled, grabbing him by the color of his shirt.

"Geez if you just acted a bit cuter you would be just my type, but alas..." He sighed.

"Say anything like that ever again and I will personally punch your face inside out!" I yelled.

"This is why it would never work~" he sighed.

"Damn perv..." I grumbled. "See, this is why I didn't want people to know I was a girl, everybody treats me differently, well, Luffy treats me the same, so basically I mean you treat me different, now you go all playboy on me, I was happy the way you treated me before…" I sighed.

"Okay, Okay, I've had my fun, I get it, tomboys just aren't flirting material~" he sighed, "Although why do I suddenly feel like I've been friend-zoned?" he grumbled.

"Because you have been friend-zoned." Ussop pointed out blankly. "The one you should feel sorry for is Luffy, he's been little-brother-zoned."

"I know were not related by blood but that is just sick Ussop." I said.

"I think it's pretty funny~" Nami laughed.

"I think this whole crew is a big buncha sicko's." Zoro pointed out, leaning back against the rail of the ship.

"Welcome to the club." I grumbled, pushing away Ray who had begun to play with my hair.

"So, Nami, how long till the next island, I'm starting to run out of bandages, I don't want to start ripping up my clothes for materials." I asked.

"We should be in Loguetown in a few days…" she sighed.

"Damn, I don't recall it taking this long…" I whispered to myself.

"Don't recall what taking so long? Have you been to Loguetown before?" Sanji asked.

"A-Ah, um, no I've never been there, well, I've been there just not physically, even though I can see the future my sense of time is somewhat skewed…" I laughed nervously, I'm am a bit of a physic so I'm not completely lying…

"Oh, I guess that makes sense, considering I can't imagine your visions lasting longer than a few minutes not to mention a few days…" He pointed out.

"R-Right…" I sighed, phew, that was a close one…

By now I had pretty much gotten used to all the craziness that took place daily on the ship, but what happened next never really crossed my mind, although I can imagine the writers of the Anime/Manga wont write about every encounter Luffy has with marines, so I guess in a way I was and was not expecting the giant cannon ball that crashed into the deck in front of us.

"Marines!" Ussop yelled, in seconds Zoro was up with his swords drawn, Sanji just lighting up another cigar, and Luffy and Nami in their battle stances whist Ussop readied the cannons for return fire. I sighed and stood up, taking hold of my shadow umbrella in one hand as I began to float, I was beginning to remind myself of Perona….talk about dejavu….

"Shadow Puppet: Devil's Servant!" I commanded, six foot tall puppets that looked miniature Straw hat pirates appeared out of Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Ussop, and Ray's shadows and danced around my head before flying towards the incoming marine ship. I watched as they floated around the deck of the ship, the marines shooting and slashing at them with swords but to no avail.

(A.N./ I dunno if this is "valid" so to speak, but because Natsu is only borrowing half of the crew's shadows to fight, I'm not going to make this have the same effects as the battle with Geko Moria, so…yeah…I don't exactly want Natsu to be the reason for the death of the strawhats, that would be a bummer, and then there would be no story and you guys would be incredibly pissed at me)

Sadly my moment out of the sun was short lived, there wasn't exactly a surplus of shadows on the deck so I had to sacrifice my umbrella that was made up of my own shadow in order to fly onto the marine ship, which now was docked to ours.

"Oi, Natsu, don't go taking our shadows without permission!" Zoro yelled.

"I'm just borrowing half of them, you'll get them back later!" I called, taking the shadows of a few marines then sharpening them into blades and throwing them back into the crowd.

"Duck!" I heard Zoro yell, not wanting to be decapitated I did as told, and watched a marine wielding a gun – that I assumed was pointed at me – fall, "Thanks dude, I owe you one!" I yelled.

"Anytime." He yelled, slicing through some more marines.

The fight ended in about a half hour or so and the days before we arrived at Logue town flew by and soon, THANK GOD! We got to Loguetown.

"So this is Loguetown…" Luffy sighed.

"Yep, every pirate that's heading to the grand line stops here to restock, they've got everything you could possibly need." Nami explained.

"If that's the case them I'm going to go on a shopping spree." Ussop declared.

"I'll be able to stock up on fresh produce…and fresh women." Sanji said.

"…Pervert…" I grumbled.

"You'd think there would be a sword smith around here… Zoro grumbled.

"I thought you were broke, are you going to steal some swords?" Nami teased.

"Well, I'm gonna find out where they kill people!" Luffy declared. "I gotta see where the king of the pirates was executed!" he yelled before running off.

"Hey wait, we have to pick a meeting place!" Ussop yelled.

"I'll go with him, I'm kinda curious myself, see you guys later!" I yelled, flying after Luffy.

Meanwhile at Loguetown Marine H.Q.-

"Captain Smoker, a message from headquarters!" Called a marine as he barged into a smoke filled room. "I've just received word that Monkey D. Luffy and his pirate crew are headed to Loguetown from the East Blue, the bounty on his head has just been raised, to 30 million beri, Also he has an older sibling, Shadow Demon Natsu, who's bounty is 20 million beri, we have reason to believe that Natsu is also with him."

"30 million and 20 beri, I can't wait to congratulate them…"
