Wow, getting near the end now. Not far to go. Hope you all enjoy the next chapter of What happened when I was sucked into One Piece.

Chapter 10: Dagger Point

It didn't take us long to get near the island. I began to feel odd as we sailed towards it, the cliff the only part that was visible at the moment. That was the point of the dagger. I felt, excited, but scared. I was leaning against a rail, my hands curled around the wood and I could feel my nails digging into it.

"Hey, you okay?" Zolo asked beside me. I looked up, tilting my hat back so I could see his face. He looked like he was concerned.

"Yeah, I'm okay." I replied. Zolo raised an eyebrow.

"I beg to differ. If you grip that rail any harder, it's going to break." he said. I let go of the rail quickly and took a step away. The amulet, which I now wore around my neck, never taking it off for a second, was warm against my chest.

I reached up a hand and unconsciously closed my fist over it. Luffy was running around, carrying Chopper on his shoulders… I took no notice. Usopp was telling Sanji some random story that Sanji wasn't even listening to as he leaned against the outside wall of the kitchen… I took no notice.

Nami and Robin were chatting about the island, and the rumours they had heard… I still took no notice. Something was calling me. It was freaky, like a sound wave almost. Or, like listening to a radio. Something like that anyway.

My early adventures with the crew seemed like the best of times, compared to how things were going now. A heavy hand came down on my shoulder and I jumped, making a funny squeaking sound I had never heard myself make before. There was a laugh and I turned to see Zolo shaking his head at me.

"Scaredy cat." he muttered. I frowned.

"I am not! See how you like it if someone sneaks up behind you and slams their hand down on your shoulder!" I replied. He paused.

"Sorry," he said and took his hand away and funnily enough, the place where it had been a moment before felt strange without it. I sighed.

"It's cool. I just, wasn't expecting it for one, and two, that island…" I trailed off, staring at the peak that was drawing ever closer.

"That island what?" Zolo asked. I blinked and looked around at him again.

"It scares me."

"Then why did you want to find it so badly?"

"…because," and I stopped, not willing to tell him the truth. Enough of this! Lying to him and everyone else was only getting me into trouble! I'll show him then. But, maybe I'll just keep it from the rest of the crew.

"Ok, I'll show you. But you have to promise not to tell anyone else, ok?" I asked. He nodded. I sighed and beckoned him over to a secluded spot on the ship and sat down. He sat beside me, bringing his swords around so they could rest between his legs and on his shoulder.

I did the same with mine, with all the practice Zolo had been giving me lately, I really was getting good with it. Anyway, I sang the same song I had sung the first time I had figured out what the key was. The snake once again came alive and it looked at me.

"What are you?" I asked again.

"I am a map," the snake replied. Same as last time.

"My, that is one odd artefact you have there Miss blue." a voice said nearby. I snapped my head around to see Robin leaning on a barrel near me, a hand on her chin and a serene smile on her face. She had come to call me Miss blue because of all the blue clothing I was wearing. How simple. So, okay, maybe she wasn't afraid of me. Still…

"What are you doing there?" I snapped, quickly pushing the pendant down my shirt again.

"Relax sweetie, I'm not going to tell anyone." the dark haired woman replied, waving a hand in the air. I saw out of the corner of my eye, Zolo's hand clench slightly on his swords. Robin smiled again.

"May I have a look at the amulet? I am an archaeologist." she asked. I paused and blinked and then drew the pendant out of my shirt again. Zolo gave me a warning glance but I ignored it.

"You can't touch it. It's dangerous." I said, holding the pendant up near her face. Robin inspected it for a minute, her face confused. Finally she sighed.

"I… have never seen anything like it before." she muttered and then looked at me as I pulled the amulet close to me again. "It is certainly unique…"

"Yes." I replied and then raised an eyebrow as if to ask what she was still doing there. Robin just smiled again, and walked away. Zolo's hand slid from the handle of his swords.

"Why did you let her look?" he asked. I shrugged.

"Because it would have created more suspicion if I hadn't." I replied. Zolo nodded.

"I guess." he said slowly and then looked up as Luffy spun Chopper around.

"Luffy! You're gonna send Chopper over the side!" Usopp screeched. Luffy laughed and then paused as Chopper did go flying over the side. Zolo was about to get up when Sanji ran past, pulling on his tie and then dropping it to the deck as he dived over the side. Zolo watched carefully for a few minutes.

"Oi! Marimo! A little help you ignoramus!" Sanji's voice called from the side of the ship. Zolo got up, and walked over. I followed and looked over the side to see Sanji hanging onto Chopper, the little reindeer passed out from the water and the curse. Zolo threw the ladder over the side and Sanji climbed up it and into the ship again.

"Took you long enough." Zolo muttered before drawing the ladder up again. I squeaked and jumped out of the way as a long leg swung past and into Zolo's side, knocking him overboard and into the sea. Sanji laughed.

"Idiot." he snorted and then walked away to get Chopper a towel. I looked over and saw Zolo's head bob to the surface, a vein going on the side of his head. I giggled. It was his fault really. He glared.

After Zolo had gotten back on the ship again and was dry, I went to stand behind the figure head to watch the cliff which was now towering above us. There was a cave opening before us. A flash went through my head, and I got the feeling that I had seen this place before. I squinted at the darkness that seemed to swallow anything that came near it.

"Stealthy!" a voice yelled beside me and I jumped to see Nami standing there.

"What?" I asked. Nami sighed.

"I've been trying to talk to you for the past minute and you wouldn't answer." she said a little annoyed. I frowned.

"What do you want then?"

"I just wanted to ask, do you think we should go in there?" she asked. I paused and then looked back at the dark cave.

"Well, there really isn't any other way. We're already halfway in anyway." I replied. Nami sighed.

"Fine, whatever, as long as it doesn't cost me any money, I don't care." she muttered as she walked away. I looked over my shoulder as she walked away. Money grubber. And then we sailed into the cave and the lamps on the ship were lit so we could see where the hell we were going.

As we got further inside the cave, flashes became the norm and I had the constant feeling of déjà vu. Luffy bounded past and jumped onto the figurehead, crossing his legs and grinning at me. I blinked and then smiled back, still a little distracted.

"There's a ledge up ahead that looks like it leads towards a tunnel!" Chopper squeaked, fully recovered from his little adventure. Another flash happened.

"Throw down anchor." I said.

"Okay!" Luffy replied and bounced over the rail to the reel and threw the heavy metal object overboard. The ship came to a halt and Luffy's arm flew past and latched onto a rock on the ledge, which was fairly wide and long. I watched as he rocketed himself over… and then slammed into the stone wall.

Seriously, even Luffy should have been hurt by that. He fell to the ground and jumped up, holding his hat and laughing. I sighed. No brain, no pain, I guess. Next thing I knew, Luffy's hand had swung over, grabbed both Zolo and my arms and pulled us over as well. We, of course, also slammed into the wall.

"Ow." I groaned as I got up again. Though, it didn't hurt as much as it would have in the real world. The real world? Wasn't One Piece the real world now? Oh, I was getting so confused.

Zolo stood beside me, a vein throbbing in his temple and his face one of a shark's as he glared at Luffy with sharp teeth. Geeze, I thought the swordsman was gonna snap Luffy like the rubber band he was. Luffy just grinned and then continued to pull the rest of the crew over to us.

"You're back!" a voice yelled. I turned and then was hit by a fast moving ball of person. I squeaked and jumped as arms encircled my waist. A little man was hugging me like a giant plushie. Zolo looked at me, blinking in confusion.

I shrugged and then looked down as the little man let me go again and stepped back. He didn't seem very old, and his eyes gave me the impression that he was slightly insane. Brown hair flecked with grey was long and unwashed.

"Uh, hello." I said a little nervously. The little man's face fell.

"You don't remember me?" he asked. I blinked and then shook my head.

"No, I'm sorry." I replied. The man sighed.

"I guess Sirene erased your memory as well." he muttered.

"What? Who's Sirene?" I asked and then paused, "It sounds familiar."

"It should! She's the one who cast that spell on you!" the man squealed. I blinked.

"What spell?"

"Oh god, do you remember nothing?"

"No I don't, now tell me what you're talking about!" I demanded, getting a little annoyed.

"I'm talking about the spell that sent you to another dimension." the man replied slowly. The cavern was silent.

"What?" I asked softly.

Dam dam dam, cliffie there. Who is the little man? What the heck is he doing there? And what was the other dimension Stealthy was sent to? So many questions and so little time. ? don't ask. I don't even know where that came from.
