Chapter 8: A Land With No Name
"Mum, why you crying" Kaya asked her mother as she saw the tears run down her face, "It's nothing honey I'm just sorry you have to go through this" as her mother held her tight as several men came up to them "I'm sorry Lillian but it time we did this" said one of the men "I know but… must we do this she only a little girl can't we wait" Lillian looked at the men as tears streamed down her face. "We can't wait, we have to do this know before the Government get wind of this" one of the men said as he step forward to take Kaya "I know you don't want this to happen now Lillian, but your father told you we would have to do this eventually so please let us take Kaya and let us do our duty" said the eldest man.
Kaya saw that her mother was upset by this whole thing but she saw her in her face that she understood what these men said, Kaya didn't understand why her Grandfather had ask them to meet these men but from what kaya had been told she had to go with these men to be checked over for something. "Ok, just make sure she doesn't suffer through this please" Kaya noticed her mother's voice was scared as if something these men were going to do was going to hurt "Don't worry she won't feel it too much" as the youngest of the men came forward Kaya felt her mother loosen her grip on her "Mum I'm scared" Kaya said as she looked at her mother. "Don't worry, I promise these men won't hurt you they just need to do this so you can be safe when you grow up" Kaya saw her mother force a smile on her face to reassure her she would be fine.
"If you would come with us Kaya" as the young man held he hand out Kaya slowly took it still scared as to what would happen to her, as the men lead her to a large open door Kaya looked back at her mother she couldn't understand why her mother was crying if what these men were doing to her was really bad then why go through it. As the doors closed Kaya was lead to a large stone table, as the man lift her up on it she quickly saw that he wasn't comfortable about this either "Ok Kaya we need you lay down on your front so we can examine your back" as the man asked her she laid down on her front as asked. Kaya didn't know how long she had been laying down on her front all she knew was after the men had looked at her back some went off to discuss something "We can't do this" Kaya could just hear the men talking "We have no choice, it's already appeared we have to do it know or the government will come and try to take advantage of this" he men argued for a while but soon they returned but one of them came back with a bundle.
"Kaya I'm sorry about this but we need to do this to prevent someone from using you" as the man looked at her kaya felt her arms and legs being held down by the other men, "What you doing let me go" Kaya tried to break free but couldn't move "This may feel painfully but this will stop something from destroying you before you can use it so please try not to move so much" as the man looked at the others he held down her head. "What going on please let me go" as Kaya yelled she felt something pierce her back "Ahhhhhhh" Kaya screamed as she felt her back being cut, at the same time she felt something hot and cold stream down her body as if to escape the pain she was in she tried to free herself to stop the pain but she couldn't move an inch "Please someone, please stop this" she thought as the pain got worse "Were sorry Kaya but this has to be done you'll understand when your older" said the man. As the pain intensified Kaya conscious began to flicker in and out from the pain until she finally gave in and fainted.
"Hunter wake up, Hunter" as Hunter jolted up she felt her sweat fall over her face from where she had been sleeping "Hey you alright, you look like you were having a nightmare" Ussop said as "Ya it was a nightmare" Hunter breathed deeply to gain some control over her emotion "How long have I been asleep" she asked "A long time, you've missed the ruckus earlier" Ussop sat down on the sofa in the room "What ruckus" Hunter asked "We had some strange crew on board trying to steal from us, one of them even tried to eat the merry" Ussop looked angry as he said it "Great I missed a good chance to beat someone" Hunter looked disappointed " How Nami doing" Hunter asked Ussop "Vivi said she getting worse" Ussop said looking worried it had been a few days since leaving Little garden and they still had no luck finding land to look for a doctor.
"Damn there must be land around here" Hunter said looking worried as Ussop, they knew if Nami didn't get better she could die from her fever "Ya, anyway what about you" Ussop asked "What you talking about" Hunter looked at Ussop "You were tossing and turning when I came in, what were you dreaming about" Ussop looked at Hunter looking curious, "That none of your business Ussop so drop it" Hunter glared at Ussop warning him not to take it any further. "Alright I'll see on deck" as Ussop moved to the door he looked back Hunter could see he was concerned about her but also scared at what hunter had said, As he left Hunter got up to look in the mirror "Why did I have to dream about that day" She clutched face showing a look of anger at what she had been dreaming.
As she turned around the mirror showed something was craved on her back though most of it was hidden by Hunter long hair some of it could be seen as a strange symbol that looked like a flower but was shaped like flames. Hunter could see it as she looked at her back "I don't know why they did this to me, maybe it has something to do with this power or not but I still want answers someday" she moved away from the mirror and got dressed. She put on some jeans and boots on along with a top and her jacket; she pulled her hair out and went for the door to go up top.
As she moved onto the deck she felt the snow hit her head, she looked around and saw what Ussop had meant when someone had been eating the merry, parts of the ship had been crudely repaired by Ussop. "Hey Hunter you feeling better" Luffy asked as he noticed her on deck "Ya, any land in site" she asked "None that we can see" Zoro said as he moved up beside her "You sure you alright" Zoro said "I'm fine, we only need to worry about Nami her condition is far worse, my illness is only minor" Hunter said crossing her arms "Ok but soon as we get Nami better we'll get the doc to look you over" as Zoro moved to join Luffy at the front of the ship Hunter just moved to the side of the ship to look around to see if there were any islands.
After a while of looking out for any islands everyone had decided that Sanji would look out for the island while everyone went back inside to get warm, Hunter sat down in the kitchen while luffy and Zoro took over watch of Nami giving Vivi some rest. "So what's it like to be a princess" Hunter asked "Well it's not what you read in books, you have more responsibility to your country and you can't just speak out of term in front of anyone because it could cause a war with another country which is why I want to stop this fighting in my country before it escalates" Vivi clutched her arms. Her face showed that she was both concerned and angry she was obviously thinking of what crocodile was doing to her country "You make it sound like it harder than it should, a princess should know when she should fight and when she should fight with others otherwise she'll be swallowed by might of her kingdoms enemy and fall with it" Hunter said as she was resting her arm on the table holding her head with an expression of seriousness as she looked out the window.
"I guess you could be right, but what if you don't want other to die for your country" Vivi looked at hunter "Then your fool" Hunter looked at Vivi and as she did Vivi looked scared as if her words really hit a nerve in her. "I see land" as they heard Sanji's voice both Vivi and Hunter ran outside to see; as they looked in the distance they saw an island it looked covered in snow, "Finally, now we can get that doctor" Hunter thought "Wow it an island, it so white must be a snow island" Luffy had join everyone else on deck "Hey Luffy we don't have time to explore we need to get Nami a doctor soon" Sanji said.
"Wait what if this island isn't inhabited or has monsters on it" Ussop said looking scared but was trying to hide it so the others couldn't see, "Don't be stupid Ussop, of course they'll be monster this island this is the grandline" Hunter said still looking at the island. "She's right get ready to dock" as the ship got closer to the island everyone ready themselves for the possibility of an attack, but as they docked everyone marvelled at the hugh mountains of the island "Wow look at them their hugh" Sanji looked up to see how tall it was luffy was completely marvelled by them as well as Ussop.
"Ok who's going on shore" Zoro asked "Me" Luffy said "Me too" said Sanji "I'll go too" Hunter said then suddenly hunter felt something at her back, as she went for her sword she saw the guns pointing at them. "Stop right there, Pirates" Said the men holding the guns, "Who are they" Luffy said as he looked at them. "You will turn around and leave" Said the man wearing a large green coat, "We can't we need a doctor for our friend" Vivi yelled to the men "Don't believe their lies" Said one of the other men "Ya, this is our country we won't let a bunch of pirates run a mock" said another "Talk about a bad impression" Sanji said. "Don't talk back to us" One of them men shot at Sanji and this got everyone riled up "Now you've done it" Sanji looked pissed and ready to fight Hunter started to bring her sword out "Sanji no" Vivi tried holding Sanji back but then another shot was fired but it went through Vivi's arm "Vivi" Luffy shouted Sanji looked shocked as Vivi landed on the deck hard.
"How dare you hit my friend" Luffy look angrily at the men Hunter was the same as she brought out her sword ready to fight these men for what they done to Vivi "Hey don't you dare" as the men aimed at her but most of them looked more scared at looking at hunter because of her eyes. As the other got ready to fight Vivi got up and grabbed onto luffy "Wait, we can't resolve this with fighting" Vivi said as she turned around and bowed before the men "Please our friend is sick so please let us see a doctor if we can't enter this country then bring one here please" Vivi begged before the men Hunter looked as Vivi continued to plea for help Hunter didn't like it, to beg before people who had just shot at them was shameful "We shouldn't need to beg" Hunter griped her blade tighter so tight that her hands began to bleed.
"Vivi" Luffy said looking confused, "Your failing your duty's as a captain Luffy, fighting won't solve anything if you start fighting what will happen to Nami" Vivi said still bowing her head. As Hunter continued to eye the men she began to see why Vivi was bowing and eased her griped on her sword as she sheathed her sword Luffy bowed before the men "I'm sorry, we only need a doctor please our friend needs help" as Luffy continued to bow his head Hunter looked at the man in the green coat as he stared at them "We'll lead you to town" as he turned around showing that they could enter their country.
"See, they understood" Vivi looked up smiling "Ya, You're amazing" luffy replied back "You're both idiots" as Hunter walked in front of them to go on land Vivi looked at her showing that she wasn't sorry for bowing before these men that she stood with her conviction in tact, Hunter just stared back "She's really brave for doing this but also stupid" Hunter thought as she turned her attention to the man in front, "I should warn you, there's only one doctor in this country and she's a witch" as the man walked off Hunter looked confused at what he said "A witch?" she thought.
As Sanji brought Nami out Hunter watched the men still making sure they weren't going to do anything, the men looked away from the group looking scared when Hunter looked at them "Ok let's go" as Sanji joined them they started walking with the men through the newly laid snow "Hey What's this country called anyway" Hunter asked "It doesn't have a name" Said the big man. "What, a Nameless country" Vivi said looking surprised Hunter was surprised as well "A country without a name is that even possible" she thought as they continued to walk.
As they continued towards the town Hunter looked around and found the island quite nice with all the snow covered trees and mountains, soon enough they had arrived "This is our town" said the man "They sure have some weird creatures here" Luffy said "Nami we arrived" Sanji said to Nami, Hunter looked and saw Nami was sleeping but was looking even worse than before "We need to find this witch soon" as they moved to a nearby house Hunter caught the attention of an old man talking to the big man they had walked with "Dalton I'll be looking forward to the election tomorrow, everyone said they'll be voting for you" said the old man "No please you don't have to do that, I've too many sin's for such a position" Said Dalton, as Dalton moved to open the house Hunter couldn't help but wonder about his name "Dalton, where have I heard that name before" Hunter thought as she moved inside.
"You can use the bed over there, I'll get the room heated up" said Dalton as he took of his weapon and moved to start a fire, Hunter leaned against the wall as Sanji put Nami into the bed "Sorry for not introducing myself sooner, my name is Dalton my job is to guard this island so forgive us for our hostile welcome" said Dalton as he came back into the room. "I'd like to ask something if you can" Dalton looked at Vivi "Hm" Vivi turn her head to Dalton "I get this feeling we've met before" Dalton said "What, you must be mistaken I've never meet you before" Vivi said looking defensive, Hunter kept silent while Vivi and Sanji explain Nami's condition to Dalton hunter moved away from the wall and over to the window she saw that Luffy and Ussop were building a large snowman outside blocking the view of the mountains "Seriously, those 2 need to grow up" she thought as she watched them continue to build the snowman.
"So where's this witch you mentioned earlier" asked Sanji, "She lives a top that mountain if you look out the window" Dalton pointed to the window. Hunter couldn't see the mountain because of the snowman so Sanji went outside and kicked it down and drag Luffy and Ussop inside, "Dr Kureha live in the abandoned castle top that mountain, currently this country has no king so she uses it as her home" Dalton said as he handed Luffy and Ussop a drink to get warm. "That's not good how we suppose to get Nami help if she lives up there" Sanji said looking annoyed "Unfortunately there's no way to contact her, the only time she comes down is when she feels like it so it could be a long time before she come down at all" Dalton further explained that this Dr Kureha was a brilliant doctor and that she had been alive for over 100 years.
"There is no way she's over 100 years old" Hunter said, "Believe me or not it the truth" Dalton looked at Hunter, "tch ridicules" Hunter went back to leaning against the wall looking angry and annoyed at what Dalton had said "So how does this woman come down from the mountains anyway" Vivi asked "Some people have seen her come down on a sleigh during a moon lit night, that why she has the title witch, others have also said that a strange creature accompanies her as well" Dalton said, Hunter looked up as Ussop rolled on the floor scared "I told you guys there were monster here" Ussop said still rolling in fear on the floor.
"Still since she's the country's only doctor you probably won't see her today or at all so you may as well wait until she does come down" Dalton said "We can't wait that long" Vivi got up looking concerned, "Damn it why the hell is there only one doctor anyway" Sanji asked Dalton "Hey Nami wake up" Luffy slapped Nami "What the hell are you doing" Sanji, Vivi and Ussop yelled at luffy, as Nami woke up Hunter looked Dalton for some reason his face looked familiar but she couldn't think where she'd seen him before. Dalton looked back at Hunter but she turned away to avoid his gaze, after discussing on how to get Nami to the doctor it was decided luffy would climb the mountain with Nami so they could get her treated quickly. "Ok I'll come with you who know what's out there" Sanji said placing Nami on luffys back, as Vivi fastened Nami to Luffy everyone moved outside so they could see them off and wait for them to come back.
"If you're planning on doing this I suggest you take the other path up the mountain otherwise you'll run into the lapin's and they are extremely dangerous so if you see them run as fast as you can or they kill you" Dalton directed Luffy and Sanji to the other path to the mountain, as both men walked off with Nami Hunter looked up as the snow came down on them. "You sure your friends will be alright" Dalton asked "They be fine those 2 can handle any danger that comes at them" Ussop replied back, "it's getting cold we should head back inside" as Dalton went to open the door Hunter and the other stood where they were. "We'll be fine, I'm sure they'll be back before we know it" Vivi said Dalton looked at them and smiled "We'll you don't minded me staying do you" Dalton sat down in the snow "Not at all" Hunter said.
Several minutes passed before Dalton broke the silence "Young lady, can I ask a question" Dalton asked Hunter, "What you want to know" Hunter turned around to talk to Dalton "It's just that you look familiar, have we ever met before" asked Dalton "I don't think so" Hunter replied "I'm sorry to ask but it just that you look at lot like a little girl I met years ago" Hunter looked scared at what Dalton had said "I may just remind you of someone you meet long ago" she said as she turned back to the mountains. "You may be right" Dalton said the other two had turned around to listen to what Hunter and Dalton were talking about but after Hunter had ended the discussion they both moved closer to ask Dalton a question.
"Can we ask why this country is so against pirates" Vivi asked "A few months ago this country was destroyed by pirates" Dalton replied back "What" Ussop looked shocked as well as Vivi "This group of pirates came to this country and started destroying everything in sight, they called themselves the Blackbeard pirates and no matter what we did they destroyed everything within a single night" Dalton looked angry as he said it. "A single night that's impossible" Ussop said Hunter turned her head as she listened to their conversation, "Yes, some are even saying it was a good thing to happen to this country" Dalton said looking at them "How can they believe that" Vivi said "ya their entire country was destroyed" Ussop replied as well, Dalton remained silent for a minute "The reason why is because up till now the king of this country was a tyrannical ruler who brought nothing but pain and suffering to this kingdom, the name of this country was formally known as Drum Kingdom and it kings name was Wapol" Dalton looked very angry, the other two looked shocked at this name but Hunter remained calm but her nails dug deep into her hands as she too heard that name.
"Not Wapol" Ussop said, "You've met him" Dalton asked as he turned his attention to Ussop and Vivi "Ya, we meet him but I thought he was a pirate" Ussop said looking calmer than before, "Yes I've met him too, back when I was young and my father brought me along to the council of kings that one time" Vivi said. Hunter looked at Vivi she had been to one of those meetings, "Council of kings, who are you" Dalton asked "I, um, I-in any case we did meet Wapol, we came across him yesterday while on our way here" Vivi said changing the subject off her identity and onto Wapol.
Hunter turned her head towards the forest not wanting the guys to see the look of anger on her face, "But what does it all mean, you said that this country was destroyed but then why is its king alive and acting like a pirate" Vivi asked Dalton. "Him acting like a pirate, he's most likely been loitering about the ocean waiting to return" Dalton replied back "So Wapol and his men were driven out of this country by the pirates" Vivi said but hunter could tell that wasn't the case here. "Driven out ya right, when the pirates attack Wapol and his men didn't put up a resistance" Dalton said looking angry, "As soon as Wapol realized the enemy's strength he abandoned his country and fled to the sea" Dalton's face was similar to Hunter's the look of anger and disgust at the very man they were discussing "And he calls himself a king" Vivi shouted looking more angrier then Dalton and Hunter.
"Vivi" Ussop looked at Vivi, "It's beyond cruel…How could he just abandoned his people" Vivi said looking down trying to hold her temper, "Oh it's easy for people like Wapol, all they care about is themselves" Hunter thought "It is cruel but thanks to what happened here the people are starting to rebuild this country, so as long as Wapol doesn't return we can establish a new country where the people can decide what this country will become". After a moment of silence Dalton looked back at the mountain, "I wonder if your friends are alright" Dalton said "They'll be fine Luffy and Sanji can handle anything" Ussop said looking at the mountains as well. "Hunter you alright" Vivi asked, Hunter stood in the snow still looking at the forest trying to concentrate her mind away from the anger inside, "I'm fine Vivi" Hunter replied back.
"Ok" Vivi continued to watch Hunter looking concerned, "Dalton, I hear you're looking for the doctor" an old lady came up to them "Yes but they've already…" Dalton was half way through his sentence when the lady responded back "Oh that's good because she just came down from the neighbouring town" the old lady said "What" all of them said at once. As soon as they heard the news Dalton rushed off to get transportation "I hope he get back soon we have to hurry and get that lady to help Nami" Ussop said looking worried "Ya or possible get her to return to the castle so the guys can meet her" Vivi said Hunter leaned against the house while Ussop and Vivi discussed how they would find the doctor. "Someone should stay here to let the guys know if they come back" Vivi said, "I'll stick around you guys, you go find that doctor" Hunter moved away from the wall "Are you sure, you're not well yourself maybe you should go see the doctor as well Hunter" Ussop said looking at Hunter noticing her cheeks were very deep red.
"It's just the cold weather, just need to put on a coat next time" Hunter said, as they agreed on Hunter staying Dalton brought the sleigh around "We better go" as Vivi and Ussop got on Dalton looked at Hunter "You sure you'll be alright here" Dalton said noticing that the girl was sick as well. "I'll be fine, now go" Hunter said pointing towards the path, as the entire sleigh moved off into the distance hunter went back against the wall of Dalton's house. "Don't worry Nami we'll get that doctor to you in no time" Hunter thought but as she was thinking of Nami the cold feeling in her chest got worse, her breathing got more shallow as she tried to stay conscious "Hey you alright" one of the men from before came up to Hunter, "I'm fine….."Hunter collapsed in the snow her breathing became even deeper as she tried to breathe. "Hey you ok, Hey" the man turned her over to see if she was ok. Hunter opened her eyes but her vision was blurry so she couldn't see who had picked her up, "What's going on here" Hunter heard a woman's voice "Wha.. What you doing here" the man's voice sounded surprised and scared as if he knew who he was talking too.
"That's no way to treat a lady, now then who's this girl" the woman asked "She came here with a group of pirates, Dalton just left with two them a moment ago" the man replied, Hunter felt someone touch her forehead "This woman need treatment, Chopper make room in the sleigh we're bringing this girl with us" the woman said to her companion. "Wait, what do I tell her friend when they get back" asked the man as Hunter was lifted into the sleigh, "Hehehe, tell them their friend is safe and they can pick her up at my place" said the woman, The last thing Hunter saw before falling asleep was an old woman getting into the sleigh and a tall man covered in fur.
"It's cold…Why is it so cold" Hunter thought feeling her skin becoming ice cold, Hunter didn't understand what was happening to her first it was the sudden use of fire at will, now this ice cold feeling running through her body. "Damn why is this happening to me now" she thought as the feeling got worse Hunter tried to reach out for something or someone to help her, she tried grabbing onto anything but found she was in an empty void, suddenly she felt someone grab her hand, she opened her eyes to see who it was but all she could see was a white glowing hand grabbing her own, before she could see the persons face she woke up in a strange room.
As Hunter turned her head she saw she was lying in a bed, another bed was in the same room but was empty she got up to see what else was in the room, "Where am I" she thought as she scanned more of the room. After she had finished looking around the room Hunter noticed a strange person watching her from the table, the person looked like he was trying to hide but obviously was bad at it. "Hey, who you little guy" Hunter asked, the person suddenly ran off out of the room as soon as he was noticed. Hunter looked confused she didn't mean to scare the little guy, "I wonder where I am" she thought suddenly she realized she wasn't in Daltons house, "Damn the guys are
properly looking for me" Hunter moved to get out of bed but then the door opened "So your awake then" The old lady said moving her glasses up onto her forehead.
Hunter looked at the woman for a moment as she came into the room; the woman looked to be in her early 50s and was wearing a short top and jeans, "Ya, sorry but who are you" Hunter asked "Hehehe, you sure have a mouth on you to ask that" the woman said coming closer to Hunter "The names Dr Kureha and may I ask what your name is" Kureha asked. "It's Hunter" she replied back; as Dr Kureha came up to Hunter she put a finger on her forehead, Hunter was dumbfound as to what this woman was doing "Your temperature gone down but it would be better if you rested for a few days to completely recover" as she moved away she started drinking from a bottle she had on her "What you talking about I feel fine" Hunter said as she moved to stand up but the doctor pushed back in "I'm the doctor and you're going to stay here and rest, if I hadn't come along and treat you, you would be dead from hyperthermia" Hunter looked at the woman and realized who she was talking to "Wait you're the…." Hunter didn't get to finish her sentence before the strange person came running into the room.
"What is it Chopper" said Kureha, "Doctor we have three people who need treatment" said Chopper; "I see, you stay here while I see to these people" as Kureha moved towards the door Hunter got a good look of the strange person. The person wasn't a person at all it looked like a reindeer on Hine legs wearing a hat, "Come on Chopper" said Kureha as she left the room along with the strange reindeer Hunter was left alone in the room. "So that's the doctor Dalton was talking about" Hunter thought as she got back into the bed, "I wonder who's these people are" Hunter laid in bed for a while till doctor Kureha came in carrying a familiar girl in her arms. "Nami" Hunter shot out of bed to look at her crewmate, "Oh so she part of the crew you belong too then" said Kureha after placing Nami on the bed a tall furry man came in with Sanji and Luffy. "Are they alright" Hunter asked "This girl here needs treatment now and that blonde boy needs to be warmed up to stop the hyperthermia as well as that boy" as Kureha injected some medicine into Nami the strange man took Luffy and Sanji into the next room.
"You get back in bed now" said Kureha "What my friends are nearly dead and you're asking me to get back in bed" Hunter yelled "Yes so do it" Kureha kicked Hunter right into the bed "What the hell, I thought you were doctor" Hunter placed her hand on where the doctor had kicked her. "Right now I need to concentrate on your friends so I can't have you getting worse with your condition as well as theirs" as Kureha went into the other rooms to see the guys the little reindeer come out and checked Hunters pulse "Your blood pressure seem normal but you should rest the infection may still be in your system" said Chopper "Infection?" Hunter looked puzzled "Ya we found that these cuts had a strange mould in them and that it caused an infection in your blood stream, we cleaned the wounds and gave you something to fight the infection so you'll have to take it easy for now" as Chopper moved over to see Nami Hunter looked down at her arms and saw that the bandages were new "So that why I was sick" she looked at Nami and grinded her teeth in frustration "I could made things worse for Vivi if I got sick, damn I'm such an idiot" she clutched her head thinking that she could of made thing worse not just for Vivi but for Nami as well.
"No point blaming yourself, even if you had known about the infection you wouldn't have been able to treat it, that mould we found had a highly toxic agent in it that hasn't been seen in millions of years so it lucky we have the right antibodies to treat it here" as Kureha came back into the room drinking from the bottle again, Hunter looked at the doctor "I guess I should thank you for saving me and my friends lives" Hunter said still looking frustrated at herself. "Hehehe, Well care to tell me why a Caldona is traveling as a pirate" Kureha said while smiling, Hunter looked at Kureha with a look of shock "She knows where I'm from" Hunter thought "Well are you going to tell me or are you just going to stay quiet" Kureha sat down at the table and waited for Hunters answer. "That's none of your business why I'm traveling as a pirate" Hunter said looking angry "Anyway how do you know I'm from Caldona" Hunter asked Kureha wanting an answer, "Well that's easy, not many people as lightly dark skinned as you are around, as well as your height and build along with your hair colour it would seem apparent to those who've seen a Caldona would recognize you" said Kureha as she smiled at Hunter she could see that the girl was surprised that she knew a lot about her people.
"Don't worry I don't plan to let anyone know where you come from if that's what your worried about" Kureha got up and check Nami, Hunter looked down as she thought about what Kureha had said "If she only knows where I'm from, then at least she doesn't know who I am" Hunter knew that if anyone knew who she was, she would be putting her friend in danger. "Well you friends are going to be fine, so if you want to wait till they wake up that's your call I'll be back later to check on the girl" as Kureha left the room Hunter got out of bed to check Nami, Nami was sleeping and had a cold rag over her forehead she looked a lot better than when Hunter had last seen her. "At least Nami's getting better" Hunter got up and returned to the bed feeling she should get some rest before they all needed to return back to the merry.
