Luffy found Sora later that night, standing on the side of the ship, dipping her hand in the water. "What's up?" He asked, walking up to her.
Sora jumped, and hid her hand behind her back. "Oh… just playing with the water." She said with a weak smile.
Luffy eyed her suspiciously, as he tried to look over her shoulder. Sora stepped back away from him, and tripped on the puddle her dripping hand had created. Luffy caught her by her hand that was wet, and pulled her up. He noticed the pained expression on her face as he held onto her hand. Looking down at Sora's hand he was holding he noticed it was sliced open, "What happened?" He asked, looking at it.
Sora grabbed her hand back and cradled, "N-nothing… I was just cleaning it."
Luffy stared at her for a second, "Sora… how can I learn to trust a new member of my crew if they lie to me."
Sora froze on her way to the water again, "I-it was just an accident… I swear. Please don't tell Zoro, I don't want to think that he hurt me!"
Luffy raised an eyebrow as he walked closer to her and helped her dip her cut hand into the water. "When did this happen?"
"At the restaurant, when I stopped his blade… don't tell him, please!" Sora said looking up at Luffy.
Luffy smiled, "I won't. Thanks for stopping that blade though, that could have cut into my neck or something." He didn't want to tell her that Zoro would have probably stopped himself and that she hurt herself for nothing.
Sora smiled at him as she wrapped her hand into a bandage, "Thanks captain."
Luffy smiled down at her as he replied, "I'll do look out for tonight. You look like you need some rest."
Sora kissed him on his cheek with a thank you and ran off into the cabin. Leaving Luffy outside to look at the stars.

((I HATE Akito from FB. So... XP I used the name. XD))
"Pirates!" Luffy yelled, waking everyone on the ship. Sora sat up on the floor of the girl's room and grabbed her vest. Strapping that on, she ran out onto the deck to stand next to Luffy. The others right behind her.
Sora felt around in her pouches for her blindfold, it wasn't there. She'd have to concentrate extra hard in this battle. Turning around, she saw hundreds of bright lights on a giant ship. Pulling out her two blades, she bit her lip as they docked. She stepped back a few steps and stood next to Zoro, who had just unsheathed his blades.
"There's a lot of them…" Sora whispered, and saw Zoro nod. Inhaling, Sora ignored the pain in her hand as she fell into a defensive position beside Zoro's.
"What do you want!" Luffy growled at the captain, who had just boarded their ship.
Sora gasped as she ignored all the other lights, and focused on him. "Akito!" She spat, she noticed his spirit color turn from surprised, to a dark angry red.
"I never thought I'd see you again Sora. Thought I left you for dead on that island… blind and alone." Akito laughed, his wide chest rising and falling as he laughed.
Sora stood there shaking with anger, "Captain… do I have your permission to start this fight?"
Luffy nodded and Sora rushed forward after Akito, slicing down anyone who got in her way.
In a sneaky move, Akito jumped back onto his ship, and Sora followed. She sheathed her daggers and took two swords from the guys she just cut down. Zoro and Luffy quickly followed her onto the ship, to help her out with the tons of guys that were attacking her.
Sora kept fighting until she came face to face with Akito. "You blinded me and left me to die. On an island! You knew I couldn't swim!"
Akito laughed, "And why is that! Because you ate my Cursed Fruit!"
Zoro froze after he cut down a guy, 'Did I just hear that man correctly? Sora ate a cursed fruit!' He turned around and sliced into another guy.
Sora threw the swords at Akito, who dodged them and laughed again. Taking out her daggers, Sora concentrated and a wind began to blow around them. It was easier to locate Akito now. Rushing towards him, Sora jumped and her hands flew around madly as she tried to cut him to shreds. Akito blocked all of her attacks and when she left an opening, he grabbed her throat.
Akito picked her up by her throat and slammed her against the mast, making it crack and fall down.
Sora screamed as she concentrated, a strong gust of wind was created in front of her knocking Akito backwards.
"That was supposed to be my power!" He screamed at her as he brought out his sword and ran for her.
Sora, who was clutching onto her throat and breathing for air, barely had time to jump out of his way and onto the mast.
Akito, in a full rage, began slashing at her from every direction. Sora could barely block all of them. Akito grabbed her and pinned her on the broken mast that they were fighting on.
Sora screamed as Akito raised the sword over her chest. Using her legs and the wind, she kicked him above her, slipped behind him and pinned him down. Driving the daggers she had into his arms and trapping him onto the mast. Picking up his sword, she went to kill him when the mast beneath them gave an earsplitting crack and fell towards the ocean.
Sora turned to jump back onto the ship, but couldn't for Akito was grabbing onto her leg. She had dropped the sword when the mast had cracked and now she tried to escape from him. Akito laughed as they fell into the ocean, while Sora cried out for help.
Sanji, who had just finished fighting the last guy on their ship, saw Sora being dragged into the ocean. "Sora!" he yelled as he ripped off his jacket and shoes and jumped in after her.
Zoro stuck his head over the other ship, as he was blocking a guy's attack. "Sanji! Sora can't swim! She ate a cursed fruit!"
Sanji looked up at Zoro, and saw that he wasn't lying. Taking a deep breath, he dove under water and swam after the quickly sinking mast. What made it even more difficult for Sanji was that it was dark outside, so there was little to no light where he was swimming.
Sanji kicked faster as he saw the mast and swam past it. He reached forward pushing more water behind him. Sanji felt his heart squeeze when he saw Sora there, limply floating down towards the bottom of the ocean.
Sanji quickly grabbed her, and began swimming up when he noticed something had her foot. Looking down he saw that the Captain of the other ship was dragging her down. With a sharp kick, Sanji kicked the Captain in the face making him let go of Sora. Sanji felt his lungs burn as he quickly swam towards the surface, dragging Sora behind him.
After what seemed like forever, Sanji's head popped out of the sea and he inhaled sweet air. Luffy and Zoro had gotten back onto their own ship and were looking for them. Sanji swam over to the ship and was dragged onto the ship by Zoro and Luffy.
Sanji let go of Sora once he was on the deck. He fell down and concentrated on breathing, he had never swam that fast in his life.
"She's not breathing!" Nami said as she looked down at Sora.
Sanji sat up, panting and looked down at Sora. "Do something!"
Nami looked up at him, "I don't know what to do!"
Zoro quickly inhaled air, and blew some through her lips. Sora made a gagging noise and Zoro quickly sat up. Usopp helped prop Sora up as she choked and threw up water. Sora sat there, holding onto Zoro as she gasped for air.
Sanji fell back down and continued breathing, relieved that Sora was okay.
Sora smiled weakly at her crewmates, before wincing and holding her stomach.
Nami looked at the pained expression on Sora's face, trying to figure out what was wrong. "Sora?"
Sora removed her hand, making Nami gasp for it was covered in blood. Sora felt really light headed, and the next thing she knew she had passed out on Usopp.
Zoro quickly stood up and looked at Nami, "What happened? What's wrong with her!"
Nami opened Sora's vest and saw that her shirt and stomach had been sliced open. "I'm going to need salt water, cool fresh water, a disinfected needle, the first aid kit, and a whole lot of bandages." Taking Zoro's sword, Nami cut off Sora's shirt around her stomach, and had Usopp remove her vest. When she had gotten everything that she needed, she quickly cleaned Sora's wound.
"I don't have any pain killers, so if she wakes up she going to scream." Nami looked at Sora, as she cleaned her stomach. "I'm not the best at sowing up people who move around, so you're going to have to hold her still." Nami looked at Zoro and Sanji, who both nodded. Each grabbed one of Sora's arms by the shoulder and held her down.
