Amie: WHAT THE HECK TOOK YOU SO LONG!?

Eh heh... well... my head was being rampaged by an original storyline...?

Zoro: You were just watching Youtube videos...

I WAS NOT!!

Luffy: What's a Youtube video?

Sanji: I'm surprised he can even say it...

Zoro: WHAT DID YOU SAY!?

ANYWAY!! Besides this new chapter, I FINALLY put up the fanart, and I hope Yellow Eggplant doesn't mind, but I saved it on my photobucket and put the links on my userpage.

Amie: FINALLY!!

I also posted some of my own work on it. So yes, GO TO MY USERPAGE AND LOOK!! -Shakes fist.- But before you do, please read! :D

Oh, and THANK YOU FOR THE 100+ REVIEWS!! THEY MAKES ME SO HAPPY!! 8D


To say I was shocked and confused to what Igaram had just said to me, well, it would be an understatement.

A really, really big understatement.

"Did he just call you a priestess?" I looked at Zoro, who was giving me a funny look.

"You think I know what he's talking about?" I asked. "I'm just as confused as you, if not more..."

"Please... Madame Priestess..." I looked back down at Igaram. "You... you and the swordsman... you have to protect Princess Vivi!"

"Protect her Princess Vivi?" I tried to sound a bit clueless. "You mean that Wednesday girl, right?"

"Yes... yes I do..." Igaram confirmed. "You... you have to protect her and take her back to Alabasta! But you must be careful! Those other two... Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine... they're devil fruit users...!"

I looked down at him, a slight frown on my face. "Okay, we'll help."

"WHAT!?" Apparently, Zoro wasn't as willing to help.

I ignored him for now. "But you gotta stop calling me 'Madame Priestess', pal, 'cause I ain't no priestess..."

"ARE YOU CRAZY!?" I turned to Zoro. "HE WAS TRYING TO KILL US NOT TOO LONG AGO!!"

"Well, yes I am crazy!" I snapped back. "I also happen to be nice to people... albeit sometimes too nice, but nice nonetheless! But you also heard what those other two were talking about! They were spies! They had to try to kill us to keep their cover! So, I'm helping them, and whether or not you're going to help too, it's not going to chance my mind!"

Zoro snarled. "You're going to get yourself killed with that talk..."

I pointed to my head with a crazy smile. "Crazy person, here!"

"Please... please, you both have to help...!" I looked back down at Igaram. "There... there will be a handsome reward...!"

"Reward, you say?"

I looked up to see Nami sitting on the roof of a building not too far from where we stood, and I had to fight a sigh.

Leave it to Nami to show up at the mention of a reward, or just money in general...

"We'll help you out..." Nami said, hopping down from the roof.

"Nami..." I said, causing her to look at me. "Let's be fair and make the price reasonable... okay...?"

Nami smiled and winked. "Don't worry, I will..."

I sighed in relief. Thank gawd...

"We'll help for one billion belli." Nami finally stated.

I glared at her. "THAT'S NOT REASONABLE!!"

"O-One billion!?" Igaram parrots, finally releasing my leg, causing me to stumble back into Zoro, who caught me.

"You should know by now that Nami's never reasonable..." Zoro muttered.

I sighed in defeat, bowing my head. "I tried..."

"Fine, we'll help." I snapped my head back up towards Nami. "I'll discuss the price with the princess. Now..."

Nami then waved us off. "Go get 'um!"

"Roger!" I saluted, slipping out of Zoro's grip and running off, only to gag slightly as I felt a hand grip the back of my shirt.

"Hold on a sec!" Ah. It was Zoro. "Why us!?"

"What?" Nami said. "You're not afraid are you?"

"What was that!?" Zoro snapped.

"Well, I guess you're not..." Nami said. 'But aren't you forgetting something?"

"Like what?"

"The fact that you owe me money?"

"WHAAAAAT!?" Ugh, that's it.

"You guys keep fighting, I'm going!" I said, tugging my shirt free and dashing off.

"Wha? Amie-chan!" I ignored Zoro and kept on running, trying to figure out which way she went.

I looked up, and wanted to smack myself. Of course! I can scale the rooftops!

And with that thought, I hopped onto the nearest ladder and climbed, getting onto the roof and running across it, scanning.

"Where are you, you crazy princess and adorable buzzard...?" I sang, scanning the area and shielding my eyes. I stopped, and then gasped when I saw her running down a road not too far from me. "Found you!"

I then bolted, jumping from one roof to the other until I was practically right next to her. I then jumped down behind her, running up to her left side, grabbing the saddle. She jumped, looking towards me and gasped.

"Howdy, Princess!" I said, saluting her. "Got orders from your pal Mr. Iggy to help you out!"

"M-Mr. Iggy?" She stuttered, confused.

I sighed. "I mean Igaram." I said, and she looked like she understood. "Anyway, my friend Zoro-kun should be heading towards us soon, too, and don't worry."

I then smirked, giving her a thumb's up. "We'll protect ya!"

"M-M-Madame Priestess..." Vivi said softly.

I slouched in my running. "You're not gonna start calling me that too now, are you?"

Vivi looked confused. "But that's what you are, isn't it? I mean, it's on your Heart Shell..."

I blinked. "My whattie-what?"

Vivi blinked. "You mean you don't know?"

"No, all this is rather confusing to me..." I said. "Do you mind telling me all that you know?"

Vivi skidded to a halt, and I fell forward with a yelp. I recovered quickly, though, dusting myself off. "Get on. It'll be faster if you rode with Carue and me."

I blinked. "You want me to...?"

Vivi nodded, patting the spot behind her.

I couldn't help it. "YAY!! I GET TO RIDE THE CUTE BUZZARD!!" And with that, I hopped on behind her, holding onto her waste. "Okay, I'm ready!"

"You're very eccentric..." She muttered. She then turned to face the front. "Go, Carue!"

With a squawk, he began to run again, and I tightened my grip on Vivi.

I decided to start asking questions. "So, tell me what you mean by Heart Shell..."

"It's the shell you're wearing around your neck." Vivi answered. "I've heard that only a Priestess has a Heart Shell that has pearls on it. It's supposed to show that Calypso has truly accepted them as their closest child."

"Where'd you hear that from?"

I had a feeling that Vivi was cringing.

"It's... it's kind of complicated..." Vivi stated. "Besides, don't you think your crew would like to hear it as well?"

I couldn't help but frown. "I guess so..." I grumbled. "Just don't call me 'Madame Priestess' anymore."

"Why?"

"Because I'm not one." It was that simple!

"But I saw you use your-..." Ugh...

"Listen, the reason why I know that I'm not one is just as complicated, if not moreso, than the reason why you won't explain your knowledge to me. " I stated. "So just... just call me Amie-chan, got it?"

"Very well..." Thank you very much.

Because in all honesty, there was no way I was a Priestess, let alone a Priestess for anything that existed in this world.

Why?

Simple!

I'm not from here!

I'm from another world, and I used to live a boring little life, and because I was a hungry idiot, I ate a devil's fruit and ended up here!

And just because I have a magic shell-thing, what did she call it again? Oh yeah! Heart Shell! Just because I have one of those that conveniently has pearls on it doesn't make me a Priestess from a world I'm not even from!

I jumped out of my thoughts when there was a loud explosion that caused us to halt abruptdly.

"Shit!" I cursed. "They're fast!"

I then summoned my hammer. "Not to worry, though..."

"Carue!" Eh?

I yelped as the buzzard turned and began to run again. "Wha? Hey! Wait a minute! I was gonna hammer their heads in! Go baaack!"

Vivi glanced back at me. "I thought that Priestesses were the 'non-violent' type..."

I felt my eye twitch. "FOR THE LAST TIME I'M NOT A PRIESTESS!!" I snapped.

Good GAWD why can't she get that through her head!?

Before she had time to respond, she halted again. I had to fight to roll my eyes. Now what!?

"Miss Monday!" EH!?

I glanced over her shoulder and I felt my eyes widen a bit. It was indeed Miss Monday, with a large wooden pole in her grasp, and she was bleeding from her nose and mouth, her nose slightly crooked, and bruising beginning to form around her eyes.

I flinched a bit. Yeesh. Didn't think I punched her that hard...

I turned my head, looking behind us, and flinching when Mr. 5 came out of the dust and Miss Valentine floated down next to him. We didn't have much time for chit-chat...

"Oy... you..." I blinked, turning to see Miss Monday look down at me.

"When this is over..." She said, then she smirked at me. "I want a rematch..."

I couldn't help but smirk back. "You got it..."

Miss Monday's smirk widened, and she readjusted the pole in her hands. "Now... get going!"

Vivi apparently didn't need to be told twice, and I faced the front again as Carue began to run.

We didn't get too far when we stopped again after another explosion. We turned, and I heard Vivi gasp as Miss Monday collapsed to the ground.

Well... so much for that rematch...

"Miss Monday..." Vivi trailed off, and I frowned, hopping off Carue.

"Wha? A-Amie-sama! Madame Priestess! Please wait!" Ugh... why can't she stop!?

"What did I say?" I asked, twirling my hammer a bit. "I'm not a Priestess... and even if I was, you're a Princess, and I highly doubt you'd be lower than me... so cut the 'Madame Priestess' and the 'Amie-sama' crap, and call me by my name properly!"

I then held my hammer in front of me, standing in front of Vivi and Carue. "All right you Baroque Works freaks!" I shouted. "I hope you're ready for a real fight!"

Miss Valentine laughed. "She thinks she has a chance!"

Mr. 5 merely picked his nose. "If she's anything like the others, this'll be a cake walk!"

My brow merely furrowed and I smirked. "Oh, I fought those two earlier, and believe me..." My smirk widened. "If you're anything like them, I hope you've said your prayers..."

Mr. 5 then rolled up his booger. "Luckily, we're not."

Then, he flicked it towards me, and I stood my ground.

Well... if this booger were like any cannon ball I've been hit with, which was only one, granted, this may not hurt...

Much...

...

... Oh, who was I kidding!? This was gonna sting! And baaaaad!

I shut my eyes, thinking it would hit, only to hear it go off behind me, and I opened my eyes, and they widened as soon as I saw who took care of it.

"Zoro-kun!"
