A New Piece of One Piece Chapter 10
Hey guys I wanted to point out that, once again, this fanfic is all about Lucy. Since you all already know the story of One Piece and what is going on. I am only writing in eyes and mind of Lucy. Enjoy ^.^
"Achoo!" Lucy sneezed, the winter climate was long gone but it seems it nipped
the blond with an running nose. She pulled out a tissue from the box right
beside her chair. "Bless you" Vivi said looking from her newspaper, today's
headline was the Marines new recruit.
After three days of cold weather the climate finally picked up. It was a perfect
87 degree weather and the wind was a slight breeze. All three girls jumped in
their bathing suits and pulled out the lounge chairs.
Nami moaned as she stretched her long arms, "this is perfect" she cooed. Vivi
and Lucy nodded in approval. Lucy "borrow" Luffy's strawhat for the sun.
Actually the boys have been quiet lately, too quiet really.
Lucy jumped up from her lounge chair and wrapped her shawl over her red bikini.
The climbed from the top deck to where the base of the crows nest was. "Eek" The
blond screamed "they're dead!" Lucy was confronted with three passed out bodies,
Luffy, Ussopp, and Chopper lay motionless on the wood.
Something smooth hit the back of Lucy's ankles and she fell on her butt. Zoro
had his eyes closed but a sheathed katana in his hand "You're too noisy" he
growled. Immediately a black shoe planted itself on the side of the swordsman's
face, Sanji stood there with a platter full of sweets in his right hand "Treat
ladies with respect! Shitty Swordsman!" the aroma of the pastries flooded the deck.
The three corpses rose and leached themselves onto Sanji's long legs.
The cook began swatting at the boys as if they were flies, Chopper was clinging
for dear life. "Oi idiots I'm going to..." Before he could finish his sentence
he fell over Zoro, the platter of sweets flew high in the air.
The platter descended over Lucy, her vision went black. A few seconds later
Lucy, covered in ice cream, was lying on the deck. Sanji stood up to help the
girl but was beaten by Luffy and Chopper, armed with spoons. They ate the cream
off the deck and Lucy, the blond felt sticky and gross.
But instead of getting angry she started to laugh, not only was this hilarious
but Choppers tongue on her knee was tickling her. She couldn't help but giggle,
Sanji even left and got her a towel.
Finally gaining her footing her strode over to the boys, "I expect my bath
drawn." She set off back to the girls. "Lucy what happened?"
Nami stared at the sticky blond, Lucy was licking chocolate sauce from her palm
"I got the boys to draw me a bath" Nami nodded in acknowledgement.
In thirty minute Lucy's bath was hot and ready, before entering she asked if
Chopper if he wanted to join. "No thanks I washed myself at drum island, I'm
good"
The rest of the day passed by slow, Lucy began making nice summer dresses for
the girls. The tailor was running low on cloth, but she had enough to make three
skimpy garments. Dresses were easy, Lucy had them finished by the time Sanji
called for dinner.
It took Lucy literally ten seconds to get to the kitchen, yet the boys were
already there devouring every dish on the table. The blonde took her seat near
Luffy and began eating her ramen, her captains hand stretched toward her plate,
she brought down her fork at the speed of light. Lucy struck the table in
between Luffy's thumb and pointer finger. He retracted his arm in defeat.
Over the course of two weeks Lucy has learned that every meal is a free for all.
Even though if you were female Sanji is automatically on your side. But the
blonde found this entertaining really, she always had a quick reaction time
compared to her crew. Ussopp began talking about some fireworks he was making,
Choppers eyes twinkled at the idea.
After dinner, the sun finally sank below the horizon, it was Lucy's turn for
watch.
Lucy, dressed in her yellow chick pajamas and a sketch book behind her back, was
ready for the night shift. She waved off the tired swordsman as he dropped the
anchor, then he jumped down to the boys quarters. All the company Lucy had was
the stars and the crescent moon. Lucy thought of numerous things to keep busy
until the sunrise. She began pacing the crows nest, her long blond hair caressed
her waist, I guess she needed to make this tank top longer.
Lucy began her lonely night by braiding her hair into intricate knots, after at
least 6 different styles she settled for a long fish tail braid cascading all
the way to her tail bone. Lucy's eyes felt heavy, she heard adults drink coffee
to stay awake, with that she was off to the kitchen.
After rummaging the cabinets as silently as she could manage The blonde found a
jar of powder, at least she knew the smell of coffee. Not knowing how much to
put she settled with filling half the cup with the powder and the other half
with boiling water. Not knowing what else to add she left the room stirring her
dark black drink. The smell tickled her nose and even made her cough.
Back at the crows nest she began sketching to pass time as her drink cooled.
"Ugh gross" She whined tasting her coffee, the girl vaguely remembered that
Tamaki hated the drink as well. "Bottoms up" she cooed chugging the black
liquid. She belched after swallowing the drink "Excuse me" Lucy said to no one
in particular.
Maybe it took time to kick in, she thought, the artist continued to sketch.
Slowly, as time progressed, she began to feel energized. She finished eight
sketches of different objects on the boat before she began to shake. She
clenched her waist, her whole body was vibrating.
Lucy felt trapped in her skin, she felt like she was suffocating. Arching her
back she felt relief as her white appendages emerged from her back, Four feet of
white feathers spread out at both her sides. She put a bare foot on the wall of
the crows nest and jumped. Before she fell on the deck Lucy flapped her wings
and took flight. She flew fast and furious. Her wings sliced through the air
like butter, she performed spins and twirls until her head began to spin.
She flew high above the clouds, crashing through the moist clouds . She flew
along the sea, Lucy splashed water in her face the cold water was riveting in
the humid night. The angel angled her wings to the clouds and took off. Her plan
was to fly to the moon. She began her ascent, she flew higher and higher.
Looking down the merry was only a small black dot, she saw another black dot a
considerable distance to the right of her ship. Flying closer she saw that the
dot did not move and had trees.
"Another island!" Lucy cheered, oh boy Luffy would be so excited. She flew over
the piece of land and made a sharp u-turn heading back towards the merry. Her
bare feet shook as she touched the warm wood, the affects of the caffeine
lingered to a slight degree. She was jumpy but not as jittery. She lay in the
crows nest and sang a tune to calm her nerves.
The sun emerged from the horizon in what seemed like an eternity, her eyes felt
like sand and her limbs were lead. Lucy climbed down the sail rope and landed
near the boys cabin. She jumped down and was attacked by the putrid smell of the
quarters. "Did something did in here?!" Lucy smothered her mouth and nose in
here top, desperately trying to mask the odor.
"Everyone up, it's either all of you are taking baths or we are cleaning every
inch of this cabin!" Lucy stomped her bare foot. All the boys moaned in protest,
Walking over to Luffy's hammock she turned it up side down, causing the captain
to fall. "You will be first, Ussopp you are second" she called staring at the
long nose boy attempting to escape the room.
Zoro growled, Lucy shot him a deathly stare and her silenced. She stripped all
the boys to their underwear. Sanji took care off his hygiene and Lucy deemed him
clear to go cook breakfast. Chopper went to join Vivi and Nami in there shower.
The blonde commanded Luffy, Ussopp, and Zoro to clean the room. She was nice
enough to offer laundry services but she made sure to point out that this will
not be a regular occurrence.
Lucy filled an empty barrel of water and washed all of the boys clothes, after
finishing the grueling job she pinned them all up on the sails ropes. With that
breakfast was ready, everyone ran for food.
Lucy stomach growled, she descended the rope and ran for the kitchen, determined
to fully restock on calories.
During breakfast, other than dodge Luffy's thieving hands, Lucy brought up the
island she saw last night. She could lead the crew there by flight. Nami thought
about the idea while The captain immediately began chanting "Adventure,
Adventure!"
Ussopp, knowing how to appeal to the navigators interest spoke smoothly "Could
be some hidden treasure." At those words the red heads eyes became berry
symbols, "Lead the way Lu-chan!"
Tying a small bell to Lucy's waist she took off into the morning sky. It was hot
but the breeze was much stronger than yesterday, this barely affected Lucy's
flight pattern. The blonde flew high in the sky to first locate the island, once
found she lead the crew and the merry to the tiny piece of land.
Land back on the ship Lucy defended "it was much bigger last night" Luffy looked
slightly disappointed but cheered when Sanji said he'll prepare a great picnic.
As the island came further into view they notice that in was very flat but lush
land. The only vegetation were some palm trees and shrubs. The crew safely
docked and embarked on the tiny island.
"It must be so small that it has no magnetic level at all" Nami stated "it's not
significant enough to add to my map though" Lucy ignored the disappointment in
the navigators voice and and idea popped into her head. She told everyone to
change into bikinis while she got some extra hammock netting.
With the net she double knotted the string to two palm trees creating a make
shift volleyball net. "Ussopp, get a ball!" Lucy screamed sliding down the tree.
The long nose sniper grabbed a ball and jumped down from the merry.
For hours the pirates paired off to play volleyball, draw straws made the
weirdest of combinations. In Lucy's opinion Chopper had mean volleyball skills.
For drinks they would knock down the coconuts from the palms, Lucy has acquired
a fine taste for coconut milk.
Lucy rested on the sand, letting the waves tickle the soles of her feet. Her
blond hair was tidied away in a high pony tail, her layers refused to be tamed.
She stared at Nami and Vivi in the ocean, swimming and felt disappointment.
Never has Lucy ever enjoyed the ocean, well as far as she could remember. All
she's ever known was flight, in retro spect she would choose the ability to be
air borne than to have sea legs. Lucy sulked in the sand "You can't have the
best of both worlds" she chanted to soothe her nerves.
"LUUUUUUCCYYYYYYYY" she heard a voice call, but before she could turn around her
body was hoisted high in the air. The blond was pinned to her captains shoulder
by his arm, their destination was the sea. "Luffy! We can't swim remember?!" But
no matter how much she begged Luffy charged forward, making a wake of a
monstrous size.
We passed the girls and kept running until he grew weak of the oceans energy.
Sapped of all his energy both pirates splashed into the sea. The water only
being waist high, Lucy sprung up holding her weak captain "I'll kill you Luffy"
Lucy growled as she herself grew weak. She fell to her knees and sank. Almost
immediately two strong hands wrapped around Lucy's waist and pulled, the blond
began choking salt water.
She hoisted onto yet another shoulder, only this one was mush broader. Lucy
found herself chocking over the shoulder of an annoyed swordsman. "Oi Marimo I
said I'll get Lucy-chan" Sanji grumbled as he held Luffy like a sac of potatoes.
Lucy just moaned as she let her head dangle over Zoro's back, her ponytail
occasionally brushed his thighs.
Zoro set the blonde carefully on the white sand, she was so pale compared to the
grains beneath her. Her green eyes lingered to the swordsman before she fell
over. Lucy felt weak, more than the ocean do to her. She felt dizzy, immediately
a bucket of cold freshwater was doused the girl. Her energy spiked, "Lu-chan you
are dehydrated!" Chopper's tone was stiff, a cup of water was forced down the
blondes throat. Once Lucy's vision stabilized she saw her loopy captain lay
beside her, giggling. Raising her shaking arm the blonde clenched her fist and
slammed it to Luffy's gut, causing him to cough up sea water.
Lucy wobbled to her feet and brushed the sticky sand from her butt. She saw the
swordsman walk on to the greener side of the island and lay in the soft green
shrubs. She found the shrubs beautiful but somewhat familiar, their light green
color shined in the sunlight.
She took a step forward when some wet material covered her head. The captain
through his hat on Lucy before running off to play "I don't wanna lose it" be
shouted. The blonde found the hat comforting to protect her face from the sun.
"Hey Lucy wanna build a castle" Chopper asked, his eyes were sparkling. "Sure"
Lucy agreed falling on her knees next to the deer. The two built their sand
castle while discussing science and medicine. Lucy never knew one could
experience hallucinations when without water and in the sun, she would keep that
in mind for later.
Time flew by as the crew rested and played, Sanji called everyone to a
dinner-lunch when the sun was just beginning to set. The six pirates and desert
princess sat around the fire, each gorging on their kebab. To Lucy's right was
Zoro, to her left was Nami. During dinner Ussopp and Luffy announced "Ready for
a show!"
From behind their backs the two pulled out a lighter and a tiny white ball.
"This is a firework" Ussopp gloated. Lucy raised her arm "What's a firework?"
Everyone gasped even Zoro furrowed his brow. "Are you stup..." Luffy tried to
speak but the sniper cut off "You will see now"
Running over to the shrubs Ussopp lite the tiny ball and set it down. He clamped
his hands over his ears and ran back to the crew. There was whiny sound before a
spark flew up. Lucy guessed the spark made it 20 feet before it crashed back
down, landing among the shrubs. For a few seconds the crew was silent, then Nami
began to laugh. Everyone went hysterical except Ussopp giving numerous excuses
for his failure "the humidity" he whined "the wind" he cried.
-BANG- sparks of light erupted from the shrubs, colors of red, yellow, and blue
beams of light shot in all directions. Lucy's mouth opening in awe, it was so
beautiful. Once the light settled a small fire was left, it began burning the
surrounding shrubs. Ussopp muttered insanities as he retrieved a bucket to douse
the flames. But the fire spread at a miraculous pace, numerous shrubs burned to
smoke and ashes, they left a displeasing odor in its wake. Lucy's nose tickled
at the odd aroma, she could not compare it to any odor from a previous
experience.
Ussopp's attempts to put out the flames were futile, more and more shrubs burned
in the time being. "Guys lets just go, the fire will go out eventually!" Nami
ordered picking up mugs to bring on the merry. "Seems like a plan" Zoro picked
up a bag of collected coconuts and hopped on the the merry. Lucy and the rest
grabbed anything valuable and the merry set sail. The smell of the burnt shrubs
lingered on the ship.
Lucy looked around and saw Luffy staring at the moon "Hey Luffy." The blonde
felt light headed while speaking, suddenly the ocean looked so mysterious and
perplexing. "Lucy-chan, does the moon follow us as we sail" Luffy spoke not once
did his eyes leave the white orb in the sky. Lucy was going to answer but
something large crashed into her hip.
Chopper stood in horn point over Lucy's fallen being. The deer spoke fast
"L-lu-chan the shrubs from the island, Lu- I just looked them up, they are
hallucina-hallucani-hallucinogenic" the deer rambled. But instead of listening
to the deer Lucy looked at the moon, maybe it did follow as they sailed.
At one moment Chopper was towering over the tiny blonde, then was next was Sanji
"My princess let me help you up" he proceed to prance around with Lucy in his
arms. Fighting his grip she landed right on her face on the deck, The cook was
already occupied with Nami and Vivi unfolding lounge chairs. "The sun was
setting this was no time to tan" Lucy mumbled.
Walking into the kitchen the blond found Zoro gulping down a keg of liquor.
Seeing how this was a normal occurrence she grabbed a seat beside the swordsman.
In front her was an open plant book belonging to Chopper, this must be his
research. The page was dog eared on a plant called "Marijuana" reading through
the texts she found the symptoms. "Laziness, Absentmindedness, Dizziness,
Sleepiness, and Uncontrollable Hunger" Lucy read aloud "HUH?" Zoro screamed
setting the empty keg beside him.
"Nothing" Lucy answered wobbling out the door. Outside Luffy and Ussopp were
playing with... Lucy jumped off the deck and landed on the captain wielding a
lighter, grabbing the tool the blonde chucked it to the sea. Finding rope the
tailor proceeded to tie the two to the mast.
"Two down" Lucy looked at the upper deck "three to go" Climbing the stairs was a
challenge on it's own, once she made it, well that was something else. Nami and
Vivi were in there underwear tanning, the sun was long gone under the horizon.
"You know the sun is not out!"
Both girls looked confused for a second, then they frowned "Such a party pooper
Lu-chan!" Nami accused. Sanji, seeing the girls in nothing but bra's and
underwear, was having a nosebleed in his own corner.
Both girls continued their petty insults at Lucy, not wanting to start anything
Lucy went to check on Zoro. The swordsman was now on his 3rd keg, Lucy ran and
slapped him. Expecting a retaliation Lucy automatically flinched, the blond was
thrown on the table. Her back ached from hitting the wood, an evil grin was
frozen on the mans face.
Lucy buckled her hips and kneed Zoro in the crotch throwing him on the floor
beside the table. Grabbing his ankle she dragged the collapsed swordsman
outside. Near the restrained boys was everyone else seated in a circle. Their
were swaying in sync and they were humming "Kumbaya." Giving up Lucy placed the
unconscious swordsman on her lap and sang along.
-Growl- Lucy's stomach's hunger woke the exhausted girl, struggling to get up
she saw that everyone was passed out on the deck. Ussopp and Luffy were still
restrained but out cold. Zoro rested his head on the blondes thighs. Both Vivi
and Nami used Chopper as a pillow.
All the blonde knew was that she was tired and hungry, and from the grumbling
sounds that echoed throughout the ship, so was everyone else. "Meat" Luffy
murmured.
"Well I hope Alabasta comes by tomorrow, because all we have left is fresh water
and nuts for the next three days" Sanji muttered. Lucy knew that the plant
induced extreme hunger, but she would never expect to have their food supplies
wiped in one hour. The blond patted her full stomach.
"That was incredible" Luffy and Ussopp announced, of course they were happy,
it's probably been their dream to eat out the ship. So in conclusion the merry
was out of food and cloth. "Oi we need more gunpowder as well" Ussopp commented.
"So we are out of food, cloth, and gun powder. Lovely just freakin lovely!"
Luffy laughed as he took off his strawhat and set it on the table "Everything'll
be alright!"
4 days later... Lucy layer helpless in the crows nest, she was keeping watch,
the only job that required the least amount of movement. Her devil fruit began
eating her stored body fat in order to sustain itself. She had no calories to
give, her arms felt like lead and her body felt empty. Luffy was napping on the
mast head he must be tired.
Their was not a single gust of wind and the sun was beating down on her pale
figure. Her wings were useless as they were probably just dead weight by now.
Lucy was about to doze off when the crows nest shook, but it wasn't just the
mast that trembled. The whole ship was shaking violently, this called everyone's
attention to the blonde "There's nothing out there" Lucy croaked, her throat was
dry as well. Instead of looking around the horizon Nami's vision was focused on
the sea.
Similar to Wapol's watermelon a giant shark emerged from the deep blue sea.
Rising up a good 30 feet towering over the merry. "Must be a hallucination" Lucy
mumbled curling into a ball, she heard screams and commands but she diagnosed it
as dehydration along with starvation dreams.
Sorry for my iPhone's weird way of format. Well I've also given thought to improving Lucy and her story line, I wonder what I'll come up with? .
