Hello all my One Piece lovers! As you can see I updated early this go around, though as some of you know I'm in the process of moving so next week's update may be slow so I ask please be patient! :))
As always I hope you continue to enjoy the story! (I do not own One Piece just my OC, Haruna and the plot) Enjoy!
Chapter 10:
Warnings are best Heeded
Ah, that felt so relaxing! Though I really need to buy some clothes! Haruna thought to herself as she walked out of the Inn shower and started putting on the cleaned clothes that she had actually been wearing when she first fell into the One Piece world.
Man, I sure do wish I didn't blurt out that I was a virgin to Bepo and Law. Now it's going to be all awkward when I see them! Haruna thought to herself. As she looked out herself in the mirror, then anxiously at the bathroom door before finally just taking a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom.
Haruna mentally scolded herself, due to the fact that the minute she came out of the bathroom her eyes instantly scanned the room for Law. Though she would never admit it, (for now that is) Haruna actually did feel a tinge of disappointment when she realized that the Captain of the Heart Pirates was missing from the room. Only Bepo and Shachi and Penguin sitting in the small chairs that the Inn had provided with the room, wearing at look of boredom.
"It's about time that you got out of there! We've been waiting out here forever!" Penguin said standing up from the chair, stretching his body which was followed by a yawn.
"I didn't take that long!" Haruna said as she then almost unconsciously started cleaning up and organizing the Inn bedroom. Like she often did when she was deep in thought and had a lot of things-or well people on her mind.
"Ha! Yeah you did!" Shachi said with a slight frown of what looked to be strangely frustration on his face.
"Shachi's just grumpy cause you had the shower door locked, so he couldn't even peep!" Bepo said honestly, causing Haruna to turn around and give Shachi a look of death.
"Bepo! SHUT-UP!" Shachi said his face reddening as he stood up out of the chair, before sinking back down into his chair quickly as he saw the scary look that Haruna was giving him.
"I'm sorry." Bepo said in a suddenly depressed manner, causing Penguin to then groan.
"Where is everybody?" Haruna said looking out of the Inn's bedroom window, which had a good view of the town.
Haruna then cringing a bit to herself as she looked out and spotted the bar that herself, Law, Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin had attended the night before. Feeling thankful that her drunkenness had not lasted and that she didn't do anything really stupid, though of course she did have more than enough embarrassing moments to make up for it.
"Well the Captain is out looking for supplies and getting items for himself, while the rest of the crew is just out and about the island." Penguin said getting up from the chair that he was sitting in to walk over to where Haruna stood.
"And you guys are?..." Haruna said still not understanding the reason why he, Bepo, and Shachi were in technically "her bedroom".
"The Captain gave you orders to watch you!" Bepo said cheerfully shaking off his short lived depression.
He sent them to Babysit me? Doesn't he have faith in me at all!? Haruna thought to herself a bit frustrated at the fact that Law thought she needed to be watched.
Though part of her as well felt good in knowing that he had at least been thinking about her.
"Oh well alright then, Though I guess that means you guys are going to be accompanying me shopping!" Haruna said looking down at her only pair of female clothes besides the beige jumpsuits that most of the Heart Pirate crew wore.
"Shopping for what?" Penguin said curiously. Wearing a sort of expression that gave Haruna the impression that he was leaning again towards the perverted side of his mind.
"I need some clothes, cause these seriously are like my only pair." Haruna said expecting to hear them groan and complain about having to go clothes shopping with her.
Instead to her surprise, they all just looked at each other and shrugged nonchalantly before walking towards the door.
"Well it's better than just sitting around and waiting for the Captain to return. You ready?" Shachi asked Haruna as he opened the Inn room door.
"Yeah I am, Oh wait...never mind about shopping." Haruna said feeling quite let down as she just now realized one obvious thing that was holding her back.
She had absolutely no money.
"Why did you change your mind all of a sudden!? Is something wrong?" Bepo said walking over to Haruna who was now silently sulking. In the way Bepo did when someone would comment about him being a bear.
"I just realized that I don't have any money." Haruna said feeling a bit dumb just by saying it out loud. And there was no way that she was going to beg/ask for money from somebody.
"The Captain left some for you before her left, I guess he already knew that you were going to want to go buy some things." Penguin said suddenly holding up the money that Law had actually gave Bepo to give to Haruna, though somehow he managed to have it instead.
"Oh he did? I'll have to tell him thanks." Haruna thought to herself as she then gratefully took the money from Penguin's hand as they all left the Inn bedroom and headed out to explore the island.
"Uh-Haruna? Don't you think that this is enough clothing..." Shachi said as his arms were being loaded down by Haruna's shopping bags filled with all sorts of different clothes, from tank tops to dresses to even frilly underwear.
"Yeah..You sure got a lot of things here!" Penguin added in, he to being stuck with the job of lugging around some of Haruna's shopping bags.
"Ok, ok I'll was going to call it quits soon as well, all of this shopping can be so tiring!" Haruna said pushing her hair out of her face tiredly.
"Yeah, it's kinda hot out as well." Bepo said zipping down his bright orange jumpsuit a little, as he and Haruna walked side by side leaving Shachi and Penguin behind to pick up the slack.
"What do YOU two mean by saying "tiring"?! You guys are not the one carrying all of this crap!" Penguin and Shachi yelled at the same time, causing Haruna to turn around and laugh at their irritated expressions.
"Wow I can't believe it's already mid-afternoon! Time sure does fly when having fun" Haruna said totally ignoring the semi-glares that she could feel boring into her back from Shachi and Penguin.
"Well you and the Captain did wake-up late this morning. I mean when I came in there you two were laying right on top of each other out of exhaustion!" Bepo said out loud.
His words making Shachi and Penguin's mouth drop to the ground and Harua turn bright scarlet.
"Y-Y-You! And the Captain! Y-Y-YOU AND THE CAPTAIN-" Shachi didn't even have time to finish his out burst, as Haruna then quickly clamped her hand over his mouth.
"It' NOT what you think! So just drop it!" Haruna hissed her eyes giving Shachi and Penguin, what is well known as "a look to kill."
"And YOU orange jumpsuit wearing bear better stop making it out to sound like it!" Haruna said now glaring over at Bepo, who shook his head in a quick approval.
"Now that that's finally settled, let's go find some place to eat! I'm hungry." Haruna said snapping out of her violent mood, as she spotted a small eating place, the Inn that they were staying in only a couple feet away.
"Hey you guys go back to the Inn and drop the bags off, and Bepo and I will go inside and grab a table." Haruna said no even bothering to ask if they wanted to. As she and Bepo walked off towards the eating diner.
Leaving Shachi and Penguin to sigh in frustration as they walked back to the Inn with all of the shopping bags.
The diner was not much bigger than what it appeared to Haruna on the outside. As well as much to Haruna's relief it was nothing like the noisy pirate filled bar that she had went to the night before.
In fact Haruna had strangely not seen any pirates all day, despite the fact that there had been quite a few in the bar and that Bepo had told her and Law that most of the Heart Pirates had went around exploring island.
Which only added to Haruna's strange feeling that she was starting to get.
She and Bepo took their seat at a nearby table. Noticing all of the local residents who were in the diner seemed to watch them, with expressions on their faces that Haruna couldn't quite place.
"Bepo, what is up with these people? Why do they keep staring at us with those weird looks on their faces?" Haruna whispered across the table at Bepo.
"So you've noticed to? at first I thought it was because I'm a bear in all. But I don't know, I'm kinda starting to think it's something else..." Bepo whispered back at Haruna, who was now beggining to feel even more uncomfortable.
"Uh excuse me, but I couldn't help but notice that symbol on your jumpsuit. Would you happen to be the first mate of the Heart Pirates? and you part of that crew as well?" A young waiter, who looked to be about in his twenties said.
Causing Haruna and Bepo to look at the waiter than back at each other, hesistant on rather they should answer or not.
"Yes we are. My name is Haruna and that's Bepo" Haruna said smiling up at the young waiter, deciding that it was best to let everyone know that they were friendly.
"Oh wow! I thought so, You see your crew is quite famous! Anyways so are you guys just visiting or are you planning to stay awhile?" The waiter asked, a smile still on his face.
What's this guy's deal? Haruna thought to herself, trying to figure out just what it was exactly that the waiter wanted.
"Just getting supplies, that's all." Haruna said honestly.
"Oh ok, well I hope you pirates enjoy your stay here on Evergreen Island. Now what can I get you?" The waiter said. Haruna noticing how his expression slightly changed when he said to enjoy their stay, almost like it was forced.
"Well we are actually waiting on some friends of ours, so we will just have some Saki."Haruna said as the waiter then took their order and left.
"How awkward, some people!" Bepo said slightly laughing.
Maybe its just me, I mean Bepo seems pretty relaxed! Yeah! Look at me getting all worked up over nothing! I just need to relax. Haruna thought to herself.
Just as the waiter walked back up to their table, with their two mugs of Saki in hand. Not saying anything as he just sat down the mugs on their table and left without a second look.
"Cheers! To another relaxing day!" Bepo said gleefully picking up his mug of Saki, Haruna with a smile also on her face doing the same.
Haruna and Bepo then slammed their mugs of Saki together with a grin and then drunk down the liquid. Bepo hitting his empty mug down on the table, while Haruna sat hers down still half way full.
Though it only took one sip from the drugged mugs of Saki, for the potion which was put inside to take effect on its victims.
"What-What's going on!" Haruna thought out loud as suddenly her vision blurred and her whole body started to feel extremely heavy.
"B-Bepo..." Haruna didn't even finish her sentence as her head then slammed down on the table in a knocked out cold. Right across the table from the already knocked out Bepo.
Dun Dun Dun! Cliff hanger! Next chapter: The antagonist's are revealed, and Shachi and Penguin have the pleasure of telling Law that Haruna and Bepo have gone missing! And if you haven't guessed already he won't be pleased...
