Chapter 14: Good Night, Part 3
Okay, I haven't updated in a while, and my only excuse is: I wasn't motivated. I have brought shame to myself.
Disclaimer: If I could, I would get a contract with Nintendo and Kaizoku Fansubs so people could watch One Piece on their DS's, but I can't because I don't own One Piece, nor work with Nintendo.(Good idea, though)
The first day of slave camp is almost over! Please review.

Nami had just finished brushing her teeth and changing into the pajamas that the overseer of her cabin had given her. As she walked back to her bed, she thought, Kraken sure is nice to supply sleeping gear for all the slaves, but why is he so nice? He's even called Grim Kraken.

Then she felt something bump against her leg. She looked down and saw a little girl carrying her sack of sleeping gear. In response, the girl looked up and was frightened, so she backed away. She was probably six or seven years old.

Is this girl a slave? thought Nami. Does Kraken enslave little children as well?

"Carol?" The voice came from a woman behind the little girl. Intimidatedly, the little girl retreated behind the woman.

"I'm sorry," explained Nami, "I was just walking and didn't look where I was going, so I kind of bumped into her."

"That's okay," the woman replied. "Say, are you new here? I haven't seen you before."

"Yes," replied Nami, "I was with my pirate crew when we got caught this morning."

"You're a pirate?" asked the woman, "About six months ago, I was a passenger of a ship until it wandered into this area and got caught. Oh, and my name is Jana, and this girl is Carol. I adopted her several years ago."

"I see," replied Nami. "My name's Nami." Nami looked at Jana. She was between twenty and thirty years old and had her brown hair tied in a ponytail.

Then she looked back at Carol. "Is Carol a slave here?" she asked.

"Yes, in a way," answered Jana. "She's my assistant in the technicians' lab, as all the small kids are spared from hard labor."

"Oh, so you're a technician and she's your assistant?" asked Nami.

"That's right, although no matter what job you have, it doesn't feel right to make weapons so pirates can do more violence and pillaging. At least, that's the case with me, since my mother was a Marine."

Nami widened her eyes at this. "A Marine?"

"Yes," answered Jana. "It's not very common to find a Marine who is a woman, but she loved the town where she raised me, and she willing to lose her life to protect it. And that's exactly what happened."

"Oh," replied Nami. "That's so sad."

"Anyway," started Jana. "Carol and I still need to get ready for bed. Good night, Nami."

"Good night," Nami answered, then she walked back to her bed. As she lied there, she thought back to Jana's words, and was reminded of another woman, who sacrificed her life to save Nami and her sister. Bellemerre...

As Usopp walked back to his bed in his pajamas, he thought, I still need to finish my revolt plan. All I have left to do is get a place where the slaves and I can store the materials that we get, then I'll make weapons out of those, and then we'll take out the overseers and find Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji.

As Usopp sat down on his bed, he continued thinking, If only I can find a storage place!

"Hey Usopp!"

Usopp stopped thinking and switched his attention to in front of him. "This is the wrong bed. It has to be."

"So how'd your first day go?" asked Sore.

Usopp lied down on his bed.

"I see," said Sore. "Well, first day is the hardest, but you'll get used to it."

"I don't want to get used to it!" yelled Usopp. "I want to leave this place! That's why I've been making an escape plan!"

Sore was astonished. "An escape plan?"

"An escape plan?" said the boy on the bed above Usopp's.

Usopp was surprised by the boy."Hey, don't scare me like that!"

"An escape plan?" Usopp turned around, and to his horror, it was the overseer who had spoken.

"E-e-e-escape plan!" Usopp stammered. "I-I never said escape plan! I said -- egg-steak plan!"

"What?" spoke the overseer. "Egg-steak plan?"

"Yeah!" answered Usopp. "I have breakfast duty, and tomorrow, I'm using my plan to make eggs and steaks!"

"Oh," replied the overseer, then he walked away.

That was a close one, thought Usopp. But wait, escape and egg-steak don't even rhyme. Well, at least I didn't say revolt plan.

Then a tall, burly teenage boy came and asked, "Did something happen here?"

Sore replied, "Nothing interesting, Kore. It's just this newbie here named Usopp. He says he made an egg-steak plan for breakfast."

"Wait a minute!" said Usopp. "KORE? This is your cousin!"

"Yeah," replied Sore. "And that's Areh up there." He said pointing to the other boy on the bed.

Usopp gawked at Areh, Kore, Sore, back to Areh, and continuing in that cycle. Areh seemed slightly small for a teenager. Kore was a more burly type, and Sore fit right in the middle.

"Don't worry," said Kore, "Areh and I aren't as hyper as Sore."

"Uh," Usopp started, "'Hyper' isn't exactly the word I would use, kind of more like, a mixture of awkward and, uh... yeah.". Sore, Kore, Areh all gave him a strange look on their face.

Usopp crawled into his bed and said, "Good night."

Then as Sore crawled into his own bed, he replied, "Yeah, good night." and Kore climbed up to his bunk bed above Sore's while Areh, who was already in his bed, lied down and covered himself in the bedsheets. Then it was silent.

Such a quick change of scene, it was rather awkward.
