Chapter Eight

Usopp screamed, "HEY GUYS LAND!"

Luffy sighed heavily with relief, "FINALLY! Nami, come here."

She smiled at the mention of her name and ran up to his side. He leaned down and kissed her, "I LOVE YOU!"

Chopper shook his head, "Those two are so WEIRD!"

A few minutes later, on land:

Usopp smiled at the strange yet attractive girls that passed him, "Hey, Sanji, you really should get your thing on here. These girls are the Crème de la crème!"

Sanji only sighed in response as he kept his gaze towards the ground. Chopper smacked Usopp, "You MORON! He has feelings only for Mimi-san now! Don't talk about girls or he might have a MENTAL BREAKDOWN!"

Usopp screamed, "AH! SORRY! SORRY!"

They walked onward, all silent until they stood facing an ancient temple. An exceptionally beautiful woman descended the temple steps and smiled, "Ah, you have come for advice, have you not?"

Luffy shook his head, "No, milady. We have come to request a search party be sent out to fetch our two friends who were attacking an enemy ship and got separated from us."

Her face grew angry as she shouted, "NO! YOU COME FOR ADVICE OR YOU DO NOT COME AT ALL! WE WILL NEVER SET SAIL INTO THE SEAS! THE SEAS ARE A DISASTER! NO! LEAVE NOW! YOU HAVE BROUGHT WITH YOU BAD OMEN! GO! LEAVE!"

The crew ran all the way to their ship and set sail immediately, not bothering to look back. Luffy held Nami in his arms, rubbing her back as he looked at Chopper with wide eyes, "Well, that was strange."

Mimiyoki shouted and jumped into the water. Zolo looked up, surprised, "Mimiyoki, What the heck has gotten into you!"

He jumped in after her and realized she was now on land. He swam to shore and took hold protectively of her waist as several men approached. They laughed evilly, "What's there to protect, SAMURAI!"

He screamed and pulled out his swords, attacking the men. He turned quickly but was too late to save Mimiyoki from the kidnapper. The man carried her off into the woods as Zolo fought off the rest of the men screaming her name.

As he finished off the last of the men, he listened for her but he only heard silence. He put his swords back in their sheaths as he ran into the woods in pursuit.

"Dammit," he cursed, "MIMIYOKI, WHERE ARE YOU!"

He heard her scream loudly and headed in the direction of the sound, "Mimiyoki!"

He entered a large cave and listened quietly for a sound. There…a man's voice, "C'mon! I just wanna have a little peek!"

He could hear her crying and screaming for help. Going in the direction of the sound he cursed as he saw a man, holding her shoulder and with the other, trying to open her shirt. She screamed again as he ripped it completely off, leaving her only with a bra. Zolo yelled, "Don't you DARE touch her ever again!"

He stabbed the man in his stomach, pulled the sword out, and let the man drop to the ground. Zolo ran over to Mimiyoki and picked her up. He ran around the man and exited the cave, leaving the man to die.

Once they were outside, Zolo stopped and laid her against a nearby tree, whispering, "Mimiyoki, did he hurt you? Are you going to be okay?"

She couldn't answer, she was crying too hard. He sighed and put his arms around her, pulling her against him, "Mimiyoki, it's okay. I'm here now. You have nothing to worry about."

She sobbed into his chest and put her arms around his neck. He lifted her head up and kissed her passionately. Pulling away, he smiled and wiped the tears from her cheeks, "Mimi-san, I'm here for you…always."
