Forgotten Memories
Chapter 3- Marineford
The conversation that Nami had with Law kept replaying in her mind. "No one has heard anything about Mugiwara-ya for a while now." That really worried Nami. If Law was telling the truth something had to have happened it wasn't like her crew to disappear. "Mugiwara-ya decided to train for two years before entering the New World." Even if Luffy decided to train, why was she with the Heart Pirates? There was no way she would be there out of interest, right?
On top of everything Nami didn't know was if she could trust Trafalgar Law.
If Nami was being honest with herself she didn't want to believe the Heart captain. If he was telling the truth that would mean she wouldn't see her crew for another year.
A lot could happen in two years, they could be different people in two years. What if someone decided they didn't want to come back to the crew or if something happened to one of them? Those thoughts scared Nami.
The whole situation was giving Nami a headache. If only she could just speak to her nakama and find out what was going on and tell her if what Trafalgar Law was telling her was indeed the truth or not!
The smell of the infirmary was starting to get into Nami as well. She hated the smell and it wasn't helping her headache, so the navigator decided that it wouldn't hurt to walk around. Nami noticed that there was a change of clothes beside her bed. It was a pair of black shorts and a blue tank top. It seemed like something she would wear, Nami thought.
Nami quickly changed and started to explore the sub.
Nami didn't know whether she should have felt disappointment or not because the sub didn't feel any bit familiar to her. If she was suffering from memory loss, shouldn't there be familiarity about the place?
Nami had to admit it a submarine was a different way of travelling and never heard of any pirate crew travelling this way before. Nami could already picture Luffy, Usopp and Chopper faces light up at amazed by the sub.
The navigator let out a sigh. She really missed her nakama. What was she suppose to do now? Escaping right now was not an option and she had no idea where they were. They could be in the New World for all she knew.
Nami didn't realize how hungry she was until she got the whiff of the smell of food. She followed the smell and ended up at the galley. The galley was already occupied by two members of the crew, whom Nami remembered from the infirmary.
"Nami!" The one with orange hair exclaimed.
"How are you feeling?" The man with 'penguin' written on his hat asked.
"Great!" Nami said sarcastically. How did they think she was feeling? She was apparently suffering for amnesia and wouldn't see her crew for a year. She felt 'fantastic'!
The two men look at each other and scratched the back of their heads. "I suppose confused..." Shachi said hesitantly. "I'm Shachi by the way and he's Penguin." That explained why he had 'penguin' written on his hat, though Nami didn't see the point in it.
"It must be strange not remembering the past year and who we are." Penguin chuckled awkwardly.
"If that's the truth." Nami mumbled.
"We're not lying." Shachi said, sounding a little offended at her lack of trust.
Nami didn't say anything as she took a seat across from Penguin and Shachi. "You hungry?" Penguin asked as he got up from his seat and grabbed a bowl a bowl of soup. "It's not much. We have to stock up on the next island."
"Thank you." Nami said as she took the bowl from him. The next few minutes were filled with silence as they ate. Penguin and Shachi didn't know what to say and Nami was too concentrated on eating and silently complaining on how it was nothing compared to Sanji's cooking. He could even make something as simple as soup exquisite.
"Where are we?" Nami asked after she finished, it was worth a try asking she thought.
"We are near Panden island." Penguin answered. "Should be there in a few hours."
"Not in the New World?" Nami was shocked to learn that, though she felt relieved to know they were still in the first half of the Grandline. She was certain that they were headed to the New World when they were in Sabaody.
"Yeah, Captain thought it would be best to wait a while." Penguin stated.
"Yeah, ever since Whitebeard was killed, the sea had become a lot more dangerous." Shachi added, shivering slightly.
Nami eyes widened. "Whitebeard is dead? Who killed him?" She demanded. Who could have killed him? Whitebeard was the strongest pirate in the world. Who could have killed him.
"Yeah, it happened last year at Marineford." Penguin explained like it was the obvious thing in the world, before he mentally fist palmed forgetting that Nami didn't remember what happened that day.
"Yeah, war broke out after Fire Fist Ace was captured and was set to be executed." Shachi said."Though the efforts to save Fire Fist were in vain... Akainu killed him and not long after, Blackbeard showed up and killed Whitebeard."
Nami froze. Ace was dead? Luffy's older brother? Nami felt so bad for Luffy, he looked up to his brother so much. That could explain why Luffy decided to train for two years. Luffy had said that he hadn't beat Ace even once and him being killed must have torn him apart. Luffy might have felt that they weren't ready to enter the New World yet. That did make sense to her but she still couldn't bring herself to trust the Heart Pirates - not yet, anyway..
