Eight heads whipped around and gasped at the explosion. The cannonball had hit the mast with amazing accuracy, causing the mast to break in half and crash onto the deck.
"NAMI!"
Luffy, now desperately worried about his navigator, yelled to the others.
"YOU GUYS! FIND OUT WHERE THE BAD-GUYS ARE! I'LL TAKE CARE OF NAMI!"
"ROGER!"
All the others searched in the direction of where the cannon had fired, except for Franky who was gaping at the outrageous damage done to his ship in such a small amount of time.
"Sunny..."
Luffy was at the now broken and shattered mast digging through the rubble. No sign of Nami.
"LUFFY! MORE CANNONBALLS ARE COMING!"
Luffy shot up and jumped up at the sound of another explosion on the side of the ship. How could they shoot it so accurate?!
"FRANKY!"
"ON IT CAPTAIN!"
Franky pointed his fist at the cannonballs headed toward them.
"FRANKY RADICAL BEAM!" He shouted as the beam shot into the sky, exploding the balls before they could reach sunny.
Zoro and the others also held off quite a few of the cannonballs, but they were coming at such a fast pace that many of them still hit the ship.
"LUFFY! WE CAN DO A COUP DE VENT TO ENTER THE ISLAND!"
"HOLD ON!"
Luffy stared at Franky.
"IF WE DO THAT THE MAST MIGHT CRUSH HER!"
Luffy motion toward the largest part of the broken mast, there was a little room for someone to lay under it. Franky nodded.
"Aye!"
Zoro, Sanji, and Franky ran over to help Luffy with lifting the mast. The ship was shaking from the impact of the cannons. Brook fell overboard.
"BROOK!" Chopper jumped in after him.
"YOU IDIOT!" Usopp jumped in after them.
"THERE SHE IS!"
Luffy let go of the mast and crawled under it, digging through some more rubble until he found her. She was unconscious and bleeding a tiny bit, but Luffy was instantly relived. Suddenly, a cannon hit the lion's head, causing the boat to shake so violently that Zoro, Sanji, and Franky dropped the mast on Luffy and Nami.
"DAMMIT!" Zoro yelled.
But they saw something. The mast was still lifted. They peeked in and saw Luffy holding it up, struggling and yelling at them.
"GET NAMI! *pant pant* PULL HER OUT!"
"AYE!"
Robin sprouted hands from under the mast and carried Nami to her. Luffy was still holding the mast up, unsure of what to do, though he was quickly losing his strength.
"LUFFY!" Franky grabbed him and yanked him out from under it. The mast came crashing back down, narrowly missing them. Luffy lay down on the deck panting for a moment.
"THE SUNNY-GO IS SINKING!"
Luffy heard this and quickly shouted to Franky from the ground.
"GO AHEAD FRANKY!"
Franky nodded and readied.
"COUP...DE...VENT!"
Sunny then went catapulting into the air. They screamed in comical fear for a second, before they crashed back down to earth next to the waterfall in a harsh landing.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They landed side-ways on the Sunny, spilling out onto the grass. They all laid on the ground for some time, catching their breath.
"Wha-"
"How-"
"Huh?"
"Even I...The great Usopp, can't shoot THAT accurate from that far away!"
Franky was the first up. He gazed in horror at the utterly destroyed Sunny. Everyone else stared at it too.
"Can you fix him?"
Franky nodded.
"Yeah, but that's pretty bad. It might take a while to fix."
Chopper was sitting in the grass, treating Nami. Luffy tore himself from the Sunny and headed toward them.
"Chopper. Is she alright?"
"Aa. She just was hit in the head a little. Nothing bad."
Luffy grinned in relief and kneeled next to her, poking her.
"Oi! Oi! Oi! Nami! Oi! Nami! Na-"
"STOP POKING HER!"
Luffy laughed and sat cross-legged next to them. Chopper sighed.
"Why do you want to stay here? Isn't it boring?"
Luffy rubbed his hair under his hat.
"Eh...I'm fine. Go treat the others. I think Usopp got a burn or two."
Chopper made a scared face and ran over to Usopp with a bandage in one hand and a thermometer in the other.
"I'LL SAVE YA USOPP!"
Luffy grinned.
"Shishishi! Things are getting interesting now! Aren't they Nami?"
He looked at her and pouted.
"Oh, yeah...You can't talk."
A pause. He glanced at the bandages on her head and frowned. Then he pet her head awkwardly.
"I'm sorry that you got hurt. I'll try to do better next time."
"OI LUFFY!"
"Eh?" He stood up and glanced at Sanji.
"We have a problem."
Luffy became serious and followed Sanji to where the others were sitting.
"When all the chaos was going on we realized who was shooting at us."
Luffy raised his eyebrows.
"Who?"
Zoro sighed heavily.
"Some animals..."
"WHAAAAT?"
Luffy and Franky both made weird faces.
"Yeah. They were animals, but human almost. Kinda like that weird bear thing that's on that one guy's crew.."
"Who? Traff-guy?"
"Yeah...BMO or whatever..."
"Beedo?"
No...I think it was Bidow."
"Bepo?"
"Naw...Bepo doesn't sound right..."
"It was Bepo."
"Whatever...They were walking, talking animals!"
"LIKE ME!"
"Stay out of this Chopper..."
Everyone just sat there in silence for a moment. Before they heard footsteps.
"Ah! Miss Navigator! You're awake!"
Nami stood next to them and rubbed her head.
"Tch...What the hell was that for? Those jerks..."
"Hi Nami! They were talking animals like Traffy's Bidow-thingy!"
Nami made a quizzical look at Luffy.
"...What?"
"Trafoa's bear-guy."
"Oh...you mean Bepo?"
"I TOLD YOU MARIMO!"
"SHUT UP CURLY-BROW!"
Nami smiled at Luffy and they both laughed.
"Well...I guess we sleep outside today, huh?"
Nami remarked after seeing the Sunny. Luffy fist-pumped.
"YEAH! CAMPING!"
Nami giggled and rubbed her head again, only this time in shyness.
"Yeah..Camping...whoo!"
Luffy clapped his hand on Nami's shoulder and looked at her right in the eyes, smiling.
"I'm glad you're alright."
Nami blinked.
"You too..."
He grinned and went running after Usopp, apparently playing a game of tag. Nami chuckled and looked around her. The forest was nice...and big...and green. This was a wonderful island, as long as they didn't run into the animal-people again. She headed toward the Sunny to get her chair and her book. It would be nice to rest for a while, we all kinda needed it.
Animals like Bepo? Huh!? *strokes beard that I apparently have*
Also, I did use several refrences in the "Bepo" Convo...HAPPY READING...AGAIN!
