Chapter Nine: The Curse and Arrival in Tortuga
A knock on the door grabs Nami attention as she sits in front of a mirror combing her hair. She sits up and walks towards the door. She has been in the room that was given for the entire day and now it was getting close to night. When she opens the door, she scowls seeing the two pirates who kidnapped her.
"Hello puppet, the captain wants you to accompany him for dinner, wearing this," Johnny holds up a red gown.
Nami looks at the gown in disgust, but politely says. "You can tell Captain Crocodile that I will not be dining with him."
"The Captain thought you would say that," Johnny smirks. "That's why he said you can eat with the crew then, and oh you will be naked," both Johnny and Yosaku blush, thinking of the lovely naked orange hair girl.
Nami eyes widen, and she takes the red dress. Johnny and Yosaku frown. "Fine," they say as Nami closes the door.
Scene Change~
Crocodile grins, watching as Nami calmly eats her chicken with a fork and knife. "You know Miss Roronoa, you do not have to hide your appetite here." Nami hesitantly drops the fork, and then grabs the chicken eating at it viciously. She thinks the way Crocodile said that, is that there is a underlining meaning to it, meaning you no longer have to eat like a noble woman and instead you can eat like a pirate.
"Roronoa-san, must be glad you do not have to eat like a noble anymore," Nami takes a glance at the raven-hair girl sitting to her right, Miss All-Sunday, still wearing her cowboy outfit.
"Here have a taste of the wine," Crocodile hands her a drink of wine from across the table, and Nami reaches out for it taking it eagerly. "Apple?" Crocodile then holds out an apple to her, but does not take it as she thinks something over.
"Poison?" She whispers looking from Crocodile to Miss All-Sunday.
Crocodile chuckles and Miss All-Sunday giggles. "Of course not, we cannot kill you yet." Crocodile brings the medallion out of his pocket out of his pocket. "You see Miss Roronoa, after sailing the vast seas of the Caribbean, we came across something extraordinary. Gold, jewels, and other valuables." Nami stops herself from drooling at the thought of gold and jewels, also stopping her eyes from changing into Belli. "But the grandest treasure of all was the Aztec gold." Crocodile walks closer to Nami flashing the medallion in her face. "Unfortunately for us, the Aztec placed a curse over their gold. And the only way to lift the curse is to place all the medallions back to where they belong, with a drop of blood from every pirate that was cursed." Crocodile turns away from her, walking over to the otter and handing him the medallion he holds.
"A drop of blood?" Nami eyes widen as she sees where this is going. She slowly reaches her hand out grabbing a knife from the table and placing it under her lap as Crocodile back is turn to her and Miss All-Sunday is focusing on eating her food neatly. She thinks if she can kill Crocodile she would be able to take Miss All-Sunday out herself, and from there on sneak off the ship avoiding the crew.
"Yes," Crocodile turns back to her. "That's why we can't kill you yet."
"I don't believe in Ghost stories, Captain Crocodile," Nami grips the knife tightly under the table.
"You will have to soon," As Crocodile walks closer, Nami jumps up trying to take a slash at him. Crocodile grins avoiding the strike and teasing her to hit him.
Nami runs around the table that Miss All-Sunday continues to calmly eat at not even paying attention to the action. Nami hides behind a pole, looking to one side, when Crocodile face appears. She moves to the other side and Crocodile follows her. She backs away from the pole, but somehow Crocodile sneaks behind to grab her, she turns around quickly and stabs him right in the heart.
But to Nami's shock, Crocodile just stares down at the knife in his chest, not falling down and dying at all. Nami looks back to Miss All-Sunday to see her reaction, but she just has her hands under her chin, smiling at her. Turning her eyes back to Crocodile, he reaches up pulling the knife out of his chest, with blood soaked upon it.
"I'm curious, what were you going to do after you killed me?" Nami does not answer his question, and runs out the door of the Captains room.
When she is outside, more terror awaits her as the entire crew is now mostly bones with pieces of flesh, in other words, they are zombies. Nami screams but is pushed into the crew, where she is caught in the work load they are doing. She runs into Zombie after zombie, falling down into a large opening below the deck, but is thrown back up into the air by a large cover that she lands on that the pirates are waving.
She is grabbed in mid-air by another zombie swinging from a rope, and Nami screams even louder as the Zombie laughs at her. They land next to the wheel and the zombie tries to grab Nami. Nami goes to the opposite side of the wheel and as the Zombie reaches over for her from across the wheel, she spins the wheel and the handles hit the pirate's chin repeatedly causing his head to snap back. This seems not to hurt him though, as he just snaps his head right back to Nami's amazement.
Nami runs back down onto the main deck and hides under the stairwell. She believes she is safe, when the pajama wearing otter hangs off a rope in front of her. The otter is no longer its fuzzy, firry self and is instead a bone, with little flesh Zombie. The black shades it wears slides off, and shows it only with one eye. It screams at Nami making her run out of the stairs.
She runs into the Zombie crew and backs away from them only to get caught by Crocodile. He is still human but shoves her head up to the moon. "The moon is what transforms us into monsters, every night it appears." Crocodile shoves her away and she faces him. "I can no longer feel the wind in my face; no longer do I feel the drying of my throat, no longer do I die of starvation." Crocodile reaches his hand out to Nami and when it touches the moonlight it turns to bone. "No longer do I feel a woman's flesh." Crocodile steps fully out into the moonlight, his body turns to bones, with small bits of flesh.
"You better start believing in ghost stories Miss Roronoa. You're in one." Crocodile picks a bottle of rum from off the floor, popping the top off with his golden hook. He takes a chug and Nami watches as the red liquid goes through his body, hitting the bones of his rib cage until falling down to his waist. NAmi runs behind him back into the Captains room, and Crocodile slams the bottle against the wall, slamming the doors behind her. Crocodile turns back to his crew laughing, and the crew joins in. "What are you fools laughing at? Get back to work," Crocodile orders, and the crew hurriedly disperse.
Nami sits crouch in a corner, breathing heavily with tears coming down her face. Looking up she sees Miss All-Sunday staring down at her, just out of reach of the moonlight. "Are you one of them?" Nami asks in a whisper. Miss All-Sunday face remains neutral, but she slowly places her hand in the moonlight, and it turns to bone.
"Unfortunately."
Scene Change~
"Almost to Tortuga," Luffy says, as he Zoro and Kaya look at the town they are sailing to. When Zoro and Luffy spoke to Kaya, they learn that she had heard the conversation earlier that day from Zoro and Sanji about Nami being kidnapped. Kaya had returned to Cocoyasi that afternoon, wanting to surprise Nami, but it so happen that she became the one surprise. Determine to help Nami any way she could, she was able to sneak on the ship that Kohza and Sanji were going to take to look for her hiding into a crate and waiting for when they were far enough from Cocoyasi to show herself.
Zoro then spoke that they had to take her back, much to Kaya's disappointment. But Luffy reason him out of it, saying with the navy on their tails, there was no way to get Kaya to Cocoyasi without getting caught. So much to Zoro displeasure, and Kaya's great pleasure they continue on their way to Tortuga. Kaya has never given out a definitive reason on why she wants to save Nami, so Zoro and Luffy assumed she just want to really help her.
"So why are we going here?" Kaya asks Luffy, pushing her long blonde hair out of her eyes.
"To get a crew of course," Luffy answers.
"A crew?" Zoro repeats looking over to Luffy.
"Yep, we can't be going up against the black pearl with just the three of us," Luffy says as he prepares to dock in the harbor at Tortuga.
Scene Change~
"Ah, such an awesome place," Luffy says walking along the dirt road. Zoro and Kaya look at him like he is crazy, as fights are happening all around them. People being thrown into windows, drunks laughing, woman dancing, sword fights, gun fights, just an all-around brawl. Even woman are fighting here in there.
As they are walking two women in dresses are heading straight to them and Luffy smiles brightly. "Ah! Sadie, Hina how are you two doing?"
"Hello, mmmmmm, Monkey D. Luffy," Sadie greets him. She has long unkempt orange hair that covers her eyes, wearing a red dress. Looking closely, it appears a whip is connected to her dress.
"Hina has missed you, Luffy," Hina says walking next to Sadie. She is tall and slim like Sadie, with long pinkish hair that reaches down her back. Both women have large breasts that appear to almost pop out of their dresses, causing even Zoro to look at them. Kaya also looks at them but mostly because she is jealous of their size, as she compared it to her more flat chest.
"Ah, I missed you two too-OW!" Sadie slaps Luffy on his left cheek causing him to turn his head to Kaya and Zoro. "I did not deserve that," he says to them turning back to the girls. "What was that for?" He asks Sadie.
"You nevered called when you left last time, mmmmm, after you said you love me!" Sadie turns her back on him walking away.
"I never said that liar!" Luffy yells after her. Suddenly Hina steps in front of him and Luffy smiles shakily at her. "That girl, she is one crazy-OW!" Luffy is slapped on his other cheek by Hina. He once again faces Zoro and Kaya are look at him irritably and he once again answers. "I did not deserve that one either." He looks at Hina for an explanation.
"Sadie told Hina, you said you loved her, but you told Hina you loved Hina," Hina turns away from him following where Sadie went.
"Those two sure are weirdo's, always saying I said I loved one of them, oh well," Luffy puts his hands behind his head walking farther into Tortuga.
"Should we really follow him?" Kaya asks Zoro.
"Well, I would say no, but he appears to be the most sane man here to help us," Zoro replies, as he watches another man be thrown to the window. They hurry to catch up to Luffy, going deeper into the strange town.
As you can see, Luffy does sleep around some. I try to keep SAdie and Hina in Character best I could. I chose them here because I didn't want to use anyone from Amazon Lily yet, and I could see them two acting like this to someone.
