CHAPTER 5: Second Discovery

Note: I'm in England and One Piece hasn't got very far, so there's Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Ussopp, and Sanji. Thank you. And also, I'm only 14, take pity, it's my first story. Please Read and Review. Oh yeah, sorry for the long wait, trips to America does that to you.

Zoro unsheathed his three blades and posed in his normal fighting stance, senturyu style (forgive me if I've spelt senturyu wrong). As the creatures advanced, glowing in a dark aura, Sanji began to sweat. I mean, sweat like he was losing gallons of water every minute. He turned to Zoro who looked back at him with discontent.

"What are these freakin' things, Zoro? And what have they got against us?" He asked as the entities began to advance upon them, ambush style.

"I don't know, but where the hell is Ussopp!"

Ussopp ran blindly through the trees, trying to get as far away from the fight scene as possible.

"I told them to run but no, they wouldn't listen. Now they are going to die a horrible death!"

Nami opened her eyes to find her captain and a pale-faced boy looking down upon her.

"Nami, what happened? You passed out when the shadows began to retreat," Luffy stated. Nami didn't answer back but simply sat up. Her head throbbed with pain as headache took over her senses. She instantly laid back down.

"What's happening to me? I was fine before. What time is it now?"

"Around 6:15 in the evening," Omak said without taking his eyes off Nami. It puzzled her a bit why he did so. Luffy noticed this and turned both himself and Omak around by the shoulder and walked out, talking too quietly to be heard by Nami.

He knew exactly what I wanted, Nami thought. She sat back up, ignoring the pain in her right temple and observed her surroundings. It was a quaint little room that was candle-lit, nothing to do with electricity. The bed she lay on was quite small and Nami found she had to curl up her legs to fit on it. The walls were a bleak brown, it could have been made of wood, paint, or even grime. Apart from the that the room was perfectly neat. It was only after viewing her environment that Nami noticed it was Omak's room. Oh, how she longed to be aboard the going merry, sailing with the wind in her hair, the smell of salt in the air. Luffy was in the kitchen, chomping on a giant drumstick while Sanji and Zoro bickered about personal space after bumping into each other. Ussopp ate silently for some reason, his black eyes surveying the kitchen.

Nami snapped back into reality, groaning slightly as she realised the imagination was all a fake. It annoyed her that she couldn't get what she wanted. She stood up and edged closer to the door, hesitantly pondering whether or not Luffy will be right behind that door—listening to every sound she was making…

No, Luffy wasn't a weirdo rubber man who spied on women who obviously wanted privacy. Luffy wasn't some lame guy who didn't know how to talk to a lady or treat a lady in the right manner. Wait, why was Nami thinking about Luffy anyway?

Ussopp continued to stumble through the thick foliage and shrubbery, having not the slightest clue where he was even thinking of going. Suddenly, the flora ended and Ussopp found himself staring at a minuscule village. Citizens were going about their daily tasks, yoking and pulling along oxen, visiting the public well and balancing the jug of water on there heads with master flair, and children doing errands, running all over the village. It was when one of the energetic children noticed that a stranger had come into view that everyone started to gawk.

"PIRATE!PIRATE!" the first girl screamed, followed by a barrage of panic and bellowing. Am I really that scary, Ussopp thought.

PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Once again, Omak was interrupted by the alarm outside. He could hear everyone shouting about another pirate and stood up.-sigh- what would they ever do without me, Omak thought. Chewing, Luffy looked towards the commotion. When he had finished the shard of meat he was gnawing he asked, "pirates? If you're going out to meet them, then I'm coming too! I want a to test my strength against them, just to see if I'm stronger!

Right in front of Omak stood a man, not older than twenty. He had an abnormally long nose, curly black hair, wore brown overalls and had a green (is it green?) bag.

"Ussopp?" Luffy called, utterly surprised.

Who's Ussopp? Omak thought, exasperated by all these new faces.
