Have I ever mentioned how much I HATE water?! Luffy and Nami (kya, shipping!) went to see Iceberg-San to ask what was going on. Robin really did shoot him, which made my already burning anger flare into a massive fire that could burn a whole city down in minutes. Why would she do something like that?! We decided to come back later, assuming that whoever shot Iceberg-San earlier would come back. Sadly, all of the shipwrights in water 7 thought the exact same thing. I would have been more excited about that if they didn't think that WE were the ones who shot him.
We managed to get in and found out that it was actually two of the cities best shipwrights, Lucci and Kaku, along with Iceberg's secretary Kaliffa. There was also this big guy named Blueno, a bartender with devil fruit powers. Robin was with them after all, freaking me out considering A. I smelled something familiar that I didn't like from my past, and B. SHE WAS WITH THE FRIGGING GOVERNMENT! I looked over at Luffy, unsure of what to do, and immediately regretted it. He looked so mad, i could practically feel the evil aura coming from him.
Luffy started yelling at Robin and Lucci while I looked at the others. God, that poor guy. Paulie, another shipwright, just got beaten up by Lucci and Kaku, and must be in a really bad state of shock that they were the ones behind Iceberg-Sans shooting. He had been friends with all four of the CP9 group for the past 5 years. I turned back to the fight and growled as Lucci turned into a giant leopard-man. I hate cats, I hate the government, and I hate people who hurt my nakama. This guy was NOT getting on my good side anytime soon.
Oh crap, there goes Zoro, charging into the fight like usual...
"ZORO!" I yelled as he was thrown through the wall and into the churning ocean, miles away. Luffy soon followed him after Robin left, but I couldn't see where he landed. Lucci hit Chopper, sending him flying, and then turned to Nami.
"NAMI LOOK OUT!" I shouted as I jumped, blocking most of the damage as we went flying. I landed on the ground, the orange-haired girl shaking in my arms.
Crud that hurt, but I don't have time to whine like a little kid. I slowly sat up and gently pushed Nami off of me. I jumped up and held my hand out to her as the building started to go up in flames and the shipwrights started to surround us. I mentally smacked myself in the face as I whipped around, yelling for Chopper. When I didn't get an answer, I started running towards the flaming building when the reindeer jumped out of the window with two figures on his back.
Chopper set Paulie and Iceberg-San down and changed back into his normal form, ready to start treating their wounds. The shipwrights started yelling, making themselves confused, and giving me a headache. Iceberg-San calmed them down by explaining that we didn't actually hurt him and that we helped instead. Then he turned to the three of us and apologized for accusing us. I helped Chopper with his own wounds while Nami went over and talked to Iceberg-San.
As I finished fixing up the reindeer, there was a shout and Nami ran over to us, a determined and happy look on her face.
"We need to find Luffy and Zoro! Robin was just trying to protect us, so we need to go save her!" said the excited navigator. I felt as her excitement started to run throughout my body, screaming at me to get up and go find the boys.
Soon we were running all over the city as a storm brewed above us. An aqua laguna was coming, so most of the people had already evacuated, leaving the streets empty. We searched everywhere, yelling for the idiot boys. We ended up in the back streets, still no sign of the captain or the swordsman. Nami suddenly took off, earning a bunch of yelling from the shipwrights that it wasn't safe. I caught a whiff of a familiar smell, and me and Chopper ran after Nami.
I could hear Nami yelling at Luffy... stupid idiot got stuck in between two buildings. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me as I jumped from building to building with Chopper. We almost made it to Zoro when I slipped and my head hit the chimney that he got stuck in. I quickly stood up, trying not to fall again, and said in a rushed voice, "There's a chimney there, don't fall and hit your face on it, it'll hurt."
"Luna, Chopper, is that you?! What are you talking about, of course there's a chimney here, now get me out!" The swordsman shouted in a muffled voice. I felt blood fall down the side of my face while Chopper got Zoro out. I can be such a klutz sometimes. I heard shouts and looked up to see a massive wave heading towards us.
"Chopper, hurry up! Massive wave. Nakama that needs saving. Can't swim. Let's GO!" I said, my words sharp.
Right at that moment, Luffy let out a shout and broke the buildings, breaking free just as Zoro busted out of the chimney. We all started running back towards safe land. We soon met up halfway there and were all running side by side. Of course, I ended up by Zoro, who got a worried look when he saw the blood. I simply shrugged and gave an impish smile as we ran the last few meters, making it to safety.
As I said earlier, I HATE water! What the shipwrights said was safe land ended up being a dud and a huge wave crashed over us. COLD! I felt something around my waist as I was pulled up, the wave leaving. I looked and saw the rest of the crew hanging by ropes. We were all pulled up and came face to face with Paulie. I was about to thank him when another wave came and Zoro picked me up along with Chopper, our arms and legs dangling.
When we made it to safe land, Luffy started arguing that we needed a ship so we could go save Robin. My thoughts were cut off when Zoro set me down and turned me so he could look at my head. Before he could ask, I laughed nervously and said, "Hehe, yeah, I kinda slipped on the roof and my head hit the chimney." He sighed as he asked Chopper for something to clean me up with. I looked over at Luffy, who was now happy that the old lady that runs the sea train promised to take us to Enies Lobby so we could save Robin.
A small laugh escaped me as a watched Nami march up to him, turn him around, yell something about how stupid he was, and then gave him a massive hug. Zoro followed my gaze and asked what was so funny.
"It's just that those two look so cute together. You can tell they they like each other." I said, a blush appearing on my face. I looked at him and my eyes met his. It must have been the blood loss from my head, but I'm sure that I saw a blush on his face, just as red as mine.
We both quickly turned away when we heard Luffy shout for what must have been the 100th time that day. He started running after the old lady and her granddaughter Chimmeny with the rest of us not far behind. Sanji was on the same train as Robin and for some reason, Usopp and Franky (who apparently wasn't that bad of a guy) were with him. All we had to do was catch up to them on this massive sea train that Iceberg-San had prepared for us.
We were about to board when the Franky family showed up along with two men from the train station carrying a massive bag filled with meat for Luffy (from Nami of course:). We all boarded and got ready for the storm that awaited us. Oh god, not another wave! Zoro, Luffy, and I went outside with the Franky family right behind us as we got ready to break a path in the massive wall of water.
We gave it all we had and finally managed to break through as shouts went up from behind us. The three of us went back inside and found that we had stowaways. Paulie and two other guys from the same shipyard along with a massive frog that the old lady seemed to know. Nami and Luffy started talking about the battle and the great upgrade Usopp had put into her clima tac (her weapon). They immediately started to sulk, making Zoro snap at them.
My laugh at the moron trio soon died off as I remembered that Usopp had given me a retractable whip that could turn into a knife when I pressed a button. I had asked him for it after our little "adventure" in Upper Yard. I wanted to stop using my wolf powers so much, still a little self-conscious about myself, but I also wanted to become stronger. I snapped back to reality when I heard Paulie yelling at Nami. I looked around and noticed a nose bleed on all of the boys. My heart dropped a little when I saw one on Zoro as well when I found out that it was caused by Nami changing in plain sight.
I realized that everyone had changed clothes except me, so I went up to Zoro and asked him if he could hold up a blanket that I found so that I could change. A blush appeared on the both of us as he lifted up the blanket. I changed out of my wet clothes and got into a dark blue t-shirt along with a pair of tan shorts. Not the extremely short kind like Nami is wearing right now with a crop-top, but a nice t-shirt that hugs my sides a little with normal shorts... kind of like Luffy's, but less weight and no pockets with white on the bottom.
I told Zoro he could put the blanket down while I started to take my hair out. I jumped about 4 feet in the air when Paulie started yelling at me, making my long hair fly all over the place and my tail stick out. Once I landed of the ground I quickly said, "What did I do?! I'm sorry!". He looked at me, a curious look on his face.
"You didn't do anything, I was just saying that Nami should dress like you instead of disgracing herself like she is."
I looked at him in shock as I processed what he said. Soon I was laughing and everyone joined in. I sat down and brushed my hair and put it into a braid that reached down most of my back. I looked up and couldn't help but blush at Zoro. He was looking at me as if I was the most amazing person on the Grand Line while he wore a shirt that revealed his chest. It had a long scar crossing it, making him look even stronger with his muscles.
I unconsciously got up and walked over to the swordsman and placed my hand on his chest, feeling his steady heartbeat.
"Where did you get the scar?" I asked, trying not to look into his eyes now that I realized what I was doing." I lost to the worlds greatest swordsman Hawkeye Mihawk and got this scar in the process. I'm going to train hard and find him. When I do, I'll beat him and take his place."
"Who said he was the greatest?"
"What?"
"Who said that he was the greatest swordsman in the world? What did he do to earn that title?"
"He has never been beaten in a fight. His skills are legendary. I could barely even touch him."
"You said barely. That means you got some hits in to, correct?"
"Well...yes but-"
"No buts, you were able to survive in a battle against him. Besides, being the greatest at something isn't just skill. You have that talent, but you also have a great heart and spirit. All I've heard about this guy is that he is good with a sword, so as far as I'm concerned, you've already achieved your goal."
That left him speechless, his face a bright shade of red. I smiled, feeling the heat on my own face when two figures came in through the window of the car. They were Sanji and Usopp. For some weird reason, Usopp was wearing a cool looking mask and a red cape saying something about his name being Sogeking... Wait a minute, USOPP! I ran over to the sniper and threw my arms around him. I still had my wits, (even though Chopper and Luffy didn't realize that it was Usopp) and said, "Thank you Sogeking! When you see Usopp, tell him that even though we might not be on the same crew, we are still friends and that Luna really misses him."
I let go, hoping that my message got through. I think I saw a tear, but he quickly wiped it away. I gave him a big smile, glad that he didn't leave without me getting to talk to him. The old lady came on the intercom, telling us to get ready. Enies Lobby was up ahead. I turned to Luffy, waiting for his orders as captain.
"YUSH! Let's go get Robin back!"
"FRANKY ANIKI!" was heard from behind. It was time to start a battle that none of us would ever forget.
Sorry I haven't updated in a while. It's been really hot and there have been a LOT of fires. To conserve energy, I haven't been on the computer for the past four days, but I finally got the chance to get back on track. I hope that you liked it. I am predicting about 3-6 more chapters left. The last chapters will have a lot of shipping in it :)
