Chapter 37: The Interrogation!

Lucy fidgeted in her seat in the kitchen. After Nami's comment, Lucy shook her head to breakfast, suddenly losing her appetite. Everyone aside from Vivi was shocked. Was she really that upset about talking about the topic? Nami set down her fork and studied Lucy carefully, slowly chewing her pancake. Lucy looked at her hands, fiddling with them. Her hat hid her expression. It stayed in this suspensful state for a while, until Sanji broke the silence.

"Shall we start?" Sanji asked. Lucy stiffened, and she suddenly stopped fiddling with her hands. She started shaking slightly.

"I want to know what I've seen," Sanji said.

"And what have you seen that you want explained?" Lucy asked, taking her straw hat from her head into her hands.

"I'll start from the beginning," he said. "After you defeated Don Krieg, you fell into the ocean and fell unconscious."Zoro raised an eyebrow and looked at Lucy, who seemed to be avoiding eye contact. Lucy nodded, absorbing the information.

"And when I was carrying you back up to the surface, you placed your palm on my forehead," Lucy froze. Her eyes were slightly wider and her hands were shaking slightly harder. It was as if she recognized what she did.

"And I had...a vision." Everyone looked at Lucy expectantly.

"Y-Yeah..." Lucy stuttered. "That was Phelemeon." Sanji raised a brow.

"I thought Phelemeon only gave you visions," Nami stated. Lucy nodded.

"It also allows me to transmit visions, so that the person who recieves the vision will see what they want to see," Lucy explained. Sanji nodded.

"I want to ask you something," Zoro said. "At Arlong Park, you used a power none of us had ever seen before." He studied Lucy's reaction as her hands clenched and bit her lip. A bead of sweat fell down her temple.

"I..." Lucy didn't respond. The room was silent as she waited for her to jumble some words together. No matter how much it pained the Mugiwaras to see their captain not in her usual happy-go-lucky state, but their curiosity had won them over. It was then that, aside from Sanji, the Mugiwaras remembered her previous panic attack, and that it was possible she could enter such a state again. Their sudden realization hit Nami, Zoro, and Usopp's faces. They stood up.

"Y-You don't have to tell us, Lucy!" Nami exclaimed.

"Y-Y-Y-Yeah, w-w-we don't have to know!" Usopp said, his knees shaking their dramatic coward shake. Lucy looked up in surprise. Her eyes shined with gratitude as she ran out of the kitchen with an appreciative smile. Sanji and Vivi looked up with questionable looks. Nami sighed.

"Lucy has a power called Phelemeon that lets her see the future and the past, and you all just heard about the new part she apparently has," Nami said. "Some time ago, when Usopp had just joined the crew, Lucy had a severe panic attack about the visions she was having." It took a minute for the information to soak into Sanji and Vivi, and when it did, their faces wore shocked expressions. Nami's eyes narrowed.

"I'm suspicious as to just how much she's hiding from us," Usopp said. Nami nodded in agreement. Zoro stood silent to the situation. He didn't want to suspect his captain, but he too was starting to get curious of what she was hiding. He walked out of the kitchen to the deck, where Lucy was at. Her eyes looked lost, as if thinking really hard on something. He walked up behind her.

"Lucy," he said, grabbing her attention. Lucy smiled.

"Yeah, Zoro?" she asked. Zoro didn't reply as he sat on the deck. Lucy sat in his lap, causing Zoro to blush slightly, but he showed that he accepted it by wrapping his arms around her waist. They stayed like this until they heard giggles. Zoro's eyebrows twitched as Nami and Vivi giggled.

"Are they a couple?" Vivi asked. Zoro's blushed climaxed to a new shade of red, while Lucy giggled.

"Silly Vivi," Lucy said. "He's my nakama!" Everyone sweat-dropped at just how dense she proved to be. Zoro gave them a 'Yeah, she tortures me just by being dense' look. Sanji glared at Zoro, and then electricity spilled from their eyes as a glare-fest was begun. Lucy nuzzled into Zoro's neck.

"It seems we've arrived," Nami said, and they all turned to see another island in front of their eyes. Lucy stood at the rails in excitement, much to Zoro's disappointment.

"So that's the second island of the Grand Line!" Lucy exclaimed, and Zoro couldn't help but chuckle from her childness.

"Be careful," Vivi said. "I'm worried about what Ms. All Sunday said."

"Will there be monsters here?" Usopp asked.

"Dunno," Zoro said.

"But we have to find more food, because I didn't buy anything from the last town," Sanji said.

"This looks like a tropical forest," Lucy said. "A magic forest."

"Its name is Little Garden," Vivi said.

"And how come it's not as cute as its name?" Nami questioned.

"And it's not even little," Zoro said.

"I've never seen these kind of trees before," Nami said.

!

"What was that?" Nami asked, fear etched across her face.

"Nami's so cute," Sanji said, smoke coming out of his mouth. "It was just a bird, and this place seems normal, so don't worry."

Lucy took a closer look from the source of the sound, "A gecko?" The sound roared again through the forest.

"Are these sounds from a normal forest?" Nami asked, the fear rippling through her even more.

"IT SOUNDS LIKE A VOLCANO ERUPTION!" Usopp exaggerated with hands covering his ears. They heard growling coming from the ship's side.

"A tiger?" That was when they saw a tiger falling into the river, blood flowing out its body excessively.

"THIS CAN'T BE A NORMAL FOREST!" Nami yelled. "SINCE WHEN DOES THE TIGER DIE BLEEDING? I've decided we're not entering here. We're only staying here until the magnetic field is set, and then sail to Alabasta.

"Sanji, prepare a pirate bento," Lucy said. "I smell the scent of adventure!"

"Wait a second!" Nami yelled. "Just where're you going?"

"An adventure!" Lucy exclaimed. "Wanna come?" Nami anime-cryed as she exitted the ship with her bento. Vivi joined her with Galu. Zoro also decided to leave, and argued with Sanji, both eventually deciding to have a hunting contest and left in a frenzy. Nami cried more anime tears with Usopp, both wondering why they were the only sane ones.

Lucy, Vivi, and Galu stared up in shock.

"Why is there a sea monster on land?" Lucy asked, fixing her hat.

"Dinosaur!" Vivi exclaimed.

"Dinosaur!" Lucy echoed, except with excitement in her voice instead of fear.

"This place must be ancient," Vivi said.

"Ancient?" Lucy questioned.

"This island is still in the dinosaur era," Vivi said. She explained how this island must've been uncivilized for thousands of years.

"Cool~" Lucy said. A grin plastered her face. She had an idea.
