Hey everybody so anyway I'm introducing another OC in this chapter. However, the character was an idea given to me by a fellow author who goes by RPG1115. He does an awesome Pokémon fan fiction that you should check out if you like Pokémon. Anyway the character will act as Drake's love interest so let's get to it. Oh and I'm happy to report I'm fully caught up in the English dub episodes up to episode 336(I just loved the Chopper Man episode).
"YAAAAAWWWWNNNN" Drake said as he yawned some smoke. Everyone was doing what they usually do while Drake who had now been a member of the Straw Hat pirates for only 4 days had only one reaction to it.
"I'm bored," he said as leaned against the railing with his arms folded.
"If you're bored why don't you read something?" Chopper said not turning away from his medical book.
"You guys have any comic books?" Drake asked.
"What?" Chopper questioned with confusion.
"Guess not" he said as he went back to staring at the front of the ship.
"Here Nami Swan I made you some delicious tea" Sanji said as poured Nami some tea.
"Hey Smokey I'm hungry could you make some lunch" Drake said.
"Would you stop calling me Smokey!" Sanji said.
"Yeah Sanji I'm hungry too, make some lunch!" Luffy said from a top his goat head.
"Fine. What do you guys want?" Sanji asked.
"I want something meaty" Luffy said.
"no way, make something spicy" Drake retorted.
"Meaty!" Luffy said.
"Spicy!" Drake said.
"Meaty!"
"Spicy!"
"Meaty!"
"Spicy!"
"RELAX!" Sanji shouted, "I can make something that has meat and is spicy." "Awesome" they both said. Sanji exited the deck of the ship to go into the kitchen while Usopp came down from the crow's nest.
"Hey Slieper" Drake said with a grin.
"What did you call me?" Usopp asked.
"Slieper, get it because your sniper and a liar" Drake said as he, Chopper, and Luffy broke down laughing. Drake had only been on the ship for 4 days, but he already knew how much of a big fat liar Usopp was.
"THAT'S NOT FUNNY!" Usopp shouted as he was now the butt of Drake's jokes.
"Your right Usopp" Drake said in a serious tone. Usopp then smiled at Drake for being so mature.
"IT'S HILARIOUS!" Drake said as he, Chopper, and Luffy were now laughing even harder. Vivi and Nami were even giggling now.
"YAAAAWWWNNNN" Zoro said as he woke up from his nap.
"Glad to see you're awake, Snoredsman" Drake said with a chuckle.
"What did you say?" Zoro asked with a confused look.
"SNOREDSMAN, because you're a swordsman and you always snore!" Drake said as broke down laughing as well as Luffy and Chopper. This time Usopp was laughing too.
"HEY! KNOCK IT OFF YOU IMMATURE IDIOTS!" Zoro shouted.
"Come on have a sense of humor, Snoredsman" Luffy said as all four of them continued to laugh and Vivi and Nami giggled.
"Hey guys lunch is ready" Sanji said as he stuck his head out the kitchen door. Drake and Luffy immediately trampled Sanji.
The two of them sat down and started to chow down on the spicy pork Sanji made.
"It's bad enough we have one Luffy, but now we have another one with wings that makes dumb nicknames" Nami teased. Everyone else sat down in the kitchen to eat the lunch Sanji made. Vivi and Nami's were obviously made with much more care and craft. Halfway through lunch Drake stopped eating and had an odd expression on his face.
"Muff mis mit, Mrake?" Luffy said with food in his mouth.
"Luffy don't talk with your mouth full" Nami said. Drake still that odd expression.
"Seriously Drake, what is it?" Zoro asked.
"I hear another heart beat" he said "And it's not coming from this kitchen." He immediately flew out the door as everyone followed except Luffy since he was grabbing food to take with him. Drake was at the front of the ship looking around for something in the ocean.
"Drake who's heart did you hear?" Chopper asked once everyone caught up with him.
"Her's" Drake said as pointed towards the ocean. In the direction that Drake pointed was an unconscious girl hanging on to a long piece of wood.
"She's gorgeous!" Sanji said with his crazy lovey duvey attitude.
"We have to save her" Usopp said.
"I'll get her" Luffy said.
GUM GUM
"no Luffy, you might hurt her" Drake said "I'll get her." Drake then flew off towards the girl. When he reached her he picked her up and brought her back to the ship. Drake then set her down on the floor. On closer inspection the crew could see what she looked like. She was a teenager, had to be around Drake and Luffy's age. She had long pure white hair that went down her back and was wearing a pink top that showed off her breasts. She had light brown shorts on with a belt that had what looked like a diamond belt buckle. She also had a purse hooked onto her belt on her hip.
"Oh my god" Nami said as she started to reach for the diamond.
Drake immediately slapped her hand away from the girl.
"Ouch! What was that for?" Nami asked.
"Don't steal from someone who's unconscious" Drake said with his arms crossed. Drake wasn't going to immediate it but he thought that she was cute. She had nice curves and he even blushed when he touched her.
"Drake are you blushing?" Vivi asked.
"What!? NO! Uh Chopper shouldn't you look her over or something?" Drake said trying to change the subject.
"Right" Chopper said. Chopper and Carue then brought her to the girl's bedroom. A half hour passed and then the door opened.
"Guys I'm finished" Chopper said. Drake walked in first before anyone else. She was resting on the bed but she wasn't awake yet.
"She had a minor concussion and a few nasty bumps but she should be alright" Chopper reassured everyone.
"Thank Goodness" Drake said. Then the girl's eyes slowly began to open. She had light blue eyes she turned her head and the first thing she saw was a boy with wings and a tail. Her facial expression slowly began to turn to one of fear.
"AAAAGH!" she screamed in fear.
"wait it's okay" Drake said but the girl ignored him and continued to scream.
CRYSTAL SHURIKEN she said as generated sharp crystal daggers from her hand that shot straight towards the pirates. Luckily everyone ducked in the nick of time.
"SHE JUST MADE CRYSTALS OUT OF THIN AIR!" Usopp said in fear of the girl.
"That's right I ate the Gem Gem Fruit, and if you don't want more I suggest you all step aside" she said.
"Relax miss, we don't mean you any harm we're the good guys" Drake said.
"Yeah we'll you guys don't look like marines to me. What exactly are you?" she asked.
"We're pirates" Luffy said calmly.
"PIRATES AREN'T THE GOOD GUYS!" she shouted.
"Look I'm sorry I surprised with my…features…but we just wanted to help you. We found you on a piece of drift wood in the ocean and we saved, you can trust us" Drake said with a smile. The looked around the room and looked at everyone.
"Here you must be hungry" Sanji said as he gave some delicious soup.
"It's not poisoned, is it?" she asked. Drake took the spoon and drank some soup.
"Nope not poisoned" he said as he handed back the spoon. The girl giggled. She then began to eat Sanji's soup.
"So what exactly happened to you before we found you?" Zoro asked. The girl didn't say a word. She looked as if she was thinking very hard about something.
"I can't remember" she said.
"You don't know?" Drake questioned.
"I can't remember a single thing" she said.
"Well what's your name?" Vivi asked. She had that same hard thinking face on.
"I…I don't know" she said as a tear fell her soup. Everyone was shocked that this girl had amnesia. How could she remember she has devil fruit powers but doesn't remember her own name.
"You remembered that you have devil fruit powers, do you remember anything else?" Usopp asked. Her thinking face returned.
"I'm… I'm 17 years old and…" she went into her purse and pulled out a camera, "I love photography." She then took a pictured of the entire crew. When the picture came out she began to shake it so the picture would appear.
"I'VE GOT IT!" Luffy screamed taking everyone by surprise.
"What?" the girl asked.
"Since you forgot your name and you can make crystals your new name will be Crystal" Luffy said. Nami then immediately hit Luffy right on the head.
"LUFFY YOU CAN'T JUST GIVE A PERSON A NEW NAME!" Nami yelled.
"No it's ok, I like it" She said.
"You're sure?" Drake asked.
"Yeah I mean I don't remember my old name, and I don't really have a list of names to choose from. Plus Crystal does have a nice ring to it" She said with a wink "So you guys can just call me Crystal."
"Whatever you say Crystal Sweet" Sanji said with a lovesick attitude.
"mind if I call you Crys for short?" Drake asked. Crystal giggled.
"Sure go ahead" Crystal said.
"HEY WHY DOES SHE NOT GET AN EMBARRESSING NICKNAME!?" Sanji, Zoro, and Usopp all yelled in anger.
"I dunno" Drake said sarcastically. Luffy then chuckled at Drake's remark.
"Um guys, mind if we can have a quick meeting" Zoro said. Everyone nodded and headed for the upper deck.
"Now make sure you eat all that soup so you can get your strength back" Chopper said.
"AAGH! A TALKING RACOON DOG!?" Crystal said in fear and shock.
"Hey I'm a reindeer! Not a raccoon dog!" Chopper said.
"okay…" Crystal said with hesitation. Chopper then made his way to the deck.
"So what's up Zoro?" Drake said.
"I don't trust her" he said.
"What" everyone else said.
"Think about it. We find a girl in the middle of the ocean unconscious on a plank of wood, but that's it. No metal, no boards, no flag, no evidence at all of her surviving a ship sinking" Zoro said in a serious tone.
"Crystal has amnesia. She doesn't remember what happened" Drake said.
"And that doesn't seem coincidental at all to you?" Zoro asked, "She remembers that she's into photography, but she doesn't remember her own name for god's sake."
"That's does sound weird now that you mention it" Usopp said.
"It was the concussion you guys, it probably made lose some of her memory. She can't control what she can and can't remember" Drake said trying to convince the other.
"Actually Drake…" Chopper said, "It was a pretty minor concussion. The blow to her head wouldn't be enough for her to lose her memory."
"So she lost her memory some other way, simple as that" Drake said.
"If she really did lose her memory that is. She could be lying to us so she can learn our secrets and capture us" Zoro said.
"No way she wouldn't do that" Luffy said agreeing with Drake.
"See guys, Luffy is on my side" Drake said.
"Drake, what did your DRAGON MORAL COMPASS tell you about this girl?" Nami asked. Drake sighed. He was hoping they weren't going to ask.
"That's the thing see. For the first time ever, I can't get a read on a person" Drake said.
"What do you mean you can't get a read on her?" Usopp asked.
"I mean it's like her morals just changing and changing. It's like she's in some weird gray area that I'm unfamiliar with. I've never met someone like this" Drake said.
"See guys, even Drake's compass can't make heads or tails of this girl. I say we ditch at the next island" Zoro said.
"No way we can't do that!" Drake said. "At the moment she's completely helpless, she doesn't know anyone or anything. We're the only people she trusts and we can't abandon when she needs help the most."
"I agree with Drake" Vivi said who always saw the good in people.
"Me too" Luffy said.
"How 'bout this…" Nami said, "the next island isn't too far away, when we get there we'll ask around if anyone knows Crystal that way we'd be doing the right thing." Drake wanted Crys to stay on the crew with everyone, but he knew that Nami was right. It might have been selfish but it was the right thing to do.
Still, Zoro did make some good points. All she remembers is she's 17, she ate devil fruit, and she likes to take pictures. She was all by herself not even the wreckadge of a ship and oddly enough she has a giant diamond on her belt out in the open. Who was this girl?
Zoro: I don't trust her.
Drake: Well you trusted me.
Zoro: Only because the captain did.
Drake: Whatever, tell us what you thought of the chapter in the reviews. What do you think of Crystal? Can she be trusted? And PM the author if you have any ideas. See ya next time.
