Alright, I finally got a chance to sit at the computer and type this chapter of Pirates of the Blue Mist. Isn't that great? I thought it was good. How could you not like a good pirate story? By the way, the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie is coming out pretty soon. I think it's called Dead Man's Chest. I should know. Maybe I'm wrong. Enough babbling. Time for some pirate action.
The Kind-Hearted Pirate
Katara was led to the deck by two pirates, where she got a good view of Blue Mist Island. It was a tropical island with white, sandy beaches. Behind the ship was a screen of blue fog, too thick for any ordinary ship to cross. Jagged rocks surrounded the shores, making it futile to try to invade the small island. The island was covered with small huts. A small peak on the side of the island emptied its waterfall into the ocean. It was breathtaking.
The pirates soon anchored their ship in the harbor and made their way onto the beach. There was no way Katara could escape her captors. They had bond her hands and arms tightly, and the two pirates escorting her had a firm grip on her. Even if she were to break free from their grip, where would she run? She was surrounded by water. It was completely hopeless.
Nami led her pirates past the small village to a clearing on the coast. She signaled her crew to stop, in which they form a circle and started cheering. Nami raised her hand to silence them.
"We have had a prosperous day," she announced. "All the gold that pathetic ship carried is now ours. Any ship that passes here fears us. Soon, we will control the seas!" Everyone cheered at her words. Katara had to admit. Nami was inspiring. Too bad Katara wasn't enthused.
"It's time to execute the girl!" Hanji yelled as he pushed Katara forward. Hanji smiled as Katara starred at him with hatred in her eyes. "Get down on your knees and bag for mercy." He punched her in the stomach, causing her to gasp and fall to her knees. As she tried to catch her breath, Nami unsheathed her sword and approached her prisoner. The crew cheered as Katara's end drew nearer. "Come on, boss. Take her head off!"
Katara looked up at Nami as the blade sat against the side of her neck. This is it, Katara thought. This is really the end. Katara continued to stare into Nami's eyes. Nami raised her sword, ready to strike. Katara's eyes grew, not in fear, but in surprise. There it was again, that look of kindness in the pirate's eyes. It didn't matter though. Katara closed her eyes and waited for the contact, but it never came. She opened her eyes to find Nami sheathing her sword. What had just happened? Did Nami…spare my life?
"Nami, aren't you going to kill her?" Hanji asked as Nami turned her back.
"Put her in the prison. I'll deal with her later." Nami's voice was calm and emotionless, but Hanji wouldn't take no for an answer.
"You promised an execution. Why not kill her now?"
"I have a reason for everything I do. Take her away now." Hanji had his hand on his sword.
"If you won't kill her, then I will." Hanji was about to strike, but in a flash of fire, he dropped his sword. Nami had thrown a fireball straight at her first mate's hand and burnt, though not seriously. She then picked Katara off the ground and started to lead her away. Before leaving, the pirate warned her crew.
"It would be wise not to question my actions. There is a reason I do things the way I do. I don't ever want to hurt you, but you left me with no choice, Hanji. Do it again, and I'll do more then burn you."
Katara was led to a small building. Inside was a wall of bars. Behind the bars was a bed suspended to the wooden wall. Nami opened the door to the tiny prison. She then untied Katara and pushed her in, locking the door behind her. She was about to leave when Katara yelled to her.
"Why did you do that?" Nami turned her head to Katara.
"You won't need ropes in there. You won't be able to escape."
"No, why did you spare my life? You said you were going to kill me." Nami turned to face Katara. Again, there was a look of kindness in her eyes.
"There is no need to kill you now. I have decided to keep you around. There will be a guard here at all times, so there will be no chance for you to escape. I'll come with some food in a couple hours." Nami started to leave again, but stopped at the door to ask one more question. "By the way, have you seen a Fire Nation ship around here?"
"Yeah, too often. Why do you ask?" Nami turned around quickly. This time there was interest in her eyes.
"Have you ever come across a ship with Prince Zuko on it?" she asked intently.
"That jerk keeps coming after us because he wants to capture Aang." Nami was now starring at Katara. She looked like she was going to burn her, but instead Nami just walked away.
"The Avatar. Of course, Zuko would be after him." Those were the last words Katara heard from Nami before the door finally closed behind her.
Alright, I'm done with that chapter. The next chapter I will explain more about Nami and her interest in Zuko.
Sesshomaru's woman: Hey, thanks for reviewing. Sorry about your teacher. I don't have any teachers that have written any books. Of course, Black Beard is real. Who wouldn't believe that? I would love to be your first mate. Yes, we will capture Watsuki and have him write a new manga about us. Unfortunately, I have a confession to make. I live in the deserted state of North Dakota (I know, where the hell is that?). I still am pretty good with weather and navigating stuff. I can also kick ass if I get a hold of anything that represent a sword or a staff like Nami's from One Piece. Just ask the guy in my class in the neckbrace. Ok, I didn't break his neck, but he really pissed me off. I lost my temper, grabbed a broom stick, and knocked his ass into unconciousness. Good thing my teacher hates him, or I would have gotten suspended for a week. I think I would need a different name then Patience, unless I used it like this; "she's patient, then without warning she strikes with stealth and delivers and bloody, sweet death". Kind of crazy, eh? Well, I better stop. Cya.
