Chapter 9

The straw hats landed on one of the many Islands of the stars. They had to stop here for a short break and to pick up supplies and with Smoker not far behind, they'd need it fast. Chelsea walked down the busy streets with Zolo and Sanji right behind her. Sanji carried in his arms cooking supplies that he'd bought at the last shop. Zolo happily carrying all of Chelsea's shopping bags there weren't that many so he was content.

"Oh man it does me good to be able to stretch out my wings!" she said as she let her wings extend and stretch. A little boy with brown hair and brown eyes watched in amazement. He ran over to Chelsea and hugged her. Chelsea looked down in surprise as she found him clinging to her leg.

"Hello there!" she said as she knelt down beside him. "What can I do for you today?" she asked the little boy.

"My name's john and you are an angel!" he said as he hugged her again.

"Yeah that's what we call her too!" Sanji smiled. Zolo smiled too.

"Well john what can I do for you?" she asked again.

"I wanna fly!" he said as he put his arms out. He ran around making flying sounds. "Like that!" he grinned. Chelsea smiled.

"Okay here you go!" she said and she waved her hand and John's feet came off the ground.

"Wow!" John said excitedly. He flew around a little bit and a crowd of people gathered around and watched him. After about five minuets of this she let him back down. When his feet hit the floor he ran over and hugged Chelsea.

"Thank you Miss Angel! I DO BELIVE IN ANGELS NOW!" he cried as he ran back to tell his mother. Chelsea chuckled.

"I've always had a weak spot for kids…" she smiled to the two men. They nodded and walked back to the docks. As they hit the main road before the shore they saw a group of Navy men walking towards them.

"Trouble!" Zolo hissed. He handed Chelsea's bag back to her and drew out his swords. Sanji gave the cooking stuff to her as well.

"Can you take this to the ship my Angel?" he asked Chelsea nodded and flew off.

"FREEZE!" the naval officers commanded.

"Brr…" Zolo taunted.

"Like we're going to take orders from you scum? PAH! You're mental!" Sanji said as he charged at them. Tashigi appeared from behind them.

"Roronoa Zolo! You are MINE!" she shouted as she drew out her sword and charged at him. Zolo responded by charging at her too. They engaged in a long drawn out battle. Nami, Usopp, Chopper and Luffy ran over and began to help Sanji and Zolo. When Usopp tried to hit Tashigi, Zolo blocked it.

"She's MINE! Go help SANJI!" Zolo roared. Tashigi smiled at him.

"I'm yours?" she asked. "Well isn't that sweet I love you too Zolo." she said with a hint of sarcasm.

"ZOLO!" shouted a figure in the distance. Zolo looked up and saw Chelsea flying towards him. Smoker also appeared. He grinned at Luffy.

"I have a new toy that'll take your devil fruit powers away and I've been DYING to let you be my guinea pig." Smoker looked up "A new member of your crew? Hmm straw hat?" Luffy shook his head.

"NO she's a passenger she hasn't joined my crew yet I haven't asked her yet. Let me do that." Luffy took a deep breath in. "HEY CHELSEA! WANNA JOIN MY CREW?" he shouted.

"SURE!" Chelsea shouted back as she flew closer.

"PERFECT!" Smoker shouted as his arm turned to smoke. He reached out and grabbed Chelsea as she was about to land.

"CHELSEA!" every one in the straw hat shouted. Smoker hit Luffy in the stomach hard and every one else was brought to their knees. Zolo excluded because he was still dueling Tashigi. HE looked over and Saw Smoker and his men calling a hasty retreat and in Smoker's clutches he saw a pair of feather white wings. Zolo tried to break free of Tashigi's sword but he couldn't. He finally pushed her away and tried to run.

"CHELSEA! HOLD ON! I'M COMING!" He bellowed. He tried to run but someone pulled on his arm. As he whirled around to see who it was, his lips met Tashigi's.

Chelsea looked back and saw this and sadness and anger welled up inside of her. Zolo broke away and scrubbed at his mouth furiously with the back of his hand.

"What the hell was that for?" he screamed at the female swordsman. Tashigi smiled weakly.

"I love you too Zolo." she said as she tried to kiss him again. Zolo felt his arm rise and strike her. Tashigi crumpled to the ground. Zolo looked at his hand. He'd never struck a woman before, and he hoped he'd never have to again.

"LET ME GO!" Chelsea screamed as she forced Smoker to let go of her. She rose into the air infuriated.

"Die." Was all she said and then her eyes went white and she made a huge storm come in and form a tornado. It swept up the navy men and was headed toward Smoker but he stopped it with his smoke abilities. Chelsea during this time had flown over him and back to her new crew.

"Hey guys come on lets get out of here!" she barked. They all nodded and got up and ran. They shoved off as fast as they could. Zolo went strait to his room and began to scrub his mouth out.

Bleah! That was gross! He thought. I wonder who saw…Oh crap! If Chelsea saw she'll hate me for sure! He thought of all the things that might happen. He dried his face off and went to go and talk to the resident love doctor on the ship, Sanji.

Zolo opened the door to the kitchen and saw Sanji waiting there for him.

"I knew you'd come Zolo. I saw what happened." Sanji said as he went over to a chair and sat down. Zolo looked away ashamed, then he too sat down and rested his chin in his hands.

"I can't believe she did that…" he said glumly. " What'll Chelsea think?" he asked Sanji. Sanji took out a potato peeler and a small potato and began to peel it.

Just outside Chelsea was walking around trying to find Zolo. She heard his voice from the kitchen. She looked over and saw the door cracked slightly. She stood by it and waited as they continued on.

"I didn't know you liked girls like her." Chelsea heard Sanji say. There was a loud thump as Zolo banged his hands on the table.

"I don't like HER! I like… her…" she heard him say softly. Tears welled up in Chelsea's eyes. So he liked that other girl instead? Then why was he messing with her always being so nice and stuff?

He must be one of those men. Chelsea thought, the type of man who'll play with your heart and then break it like it's a toy. Tears of anger fell down her cheeks as she stormed off to her room.

"Yeah yeah Zolo we ALL know you love Chelsea." Sanji said as he set down the potato. Zolo groaned and banged his head on the table.

"Don't do that Zolo!' Sanji said as he stopped him. Zolo looked at him funny. "You'll mess up my table!"

"That's better I thought you were on crack or something…" Zolo sighed and stood up. "I'm gunna go find her." He said as he left.

Chelsea instead of going to her room went to the crows nest instead. She sat down and she sobbed for a bit.

"So this is what a broken heart feels like…" she whispered. She gasped as she heard the rope ladder groan under someone's weight. She quickly wiped away her tears as Zolo looked over. He saw her and smiled.

"Hey Chels!" He said as he climbed in and sat next to her. She muttered hi to him too. Zolo attempted to start a conversation."Erm… the weather sure is nice tonight!" he smiled. Chelsea smiled weakly and then looked away.

"Sure… what ever…" she said softly. Zolo took up on this hint.

"Chels… what's wrong?" he asked her.

"Nothing!" she snapped back quickly. Zolo took her shoulders and turned her to him.

"Chelsea!" he said sternly. "What is wrong? Something is wrong I know it and I'm not letting go 'till you tell me!" he said as he squeezed her shoulders tightly. Chelsea winced then she glared at him.

"Nothing is wrong now let…ME…GO!" she shouted and she turned her self into air and made him let go of her. Tears ran down her cheeks as she stood up and flew down. Zolo called out after her as he watched her figure fly down and land on the deck below.

"CHELSEA!" Zolo shouted he ran over to the rope ladder and he climbed down as fast as he could. He jumped off it from a safe distance and he ran to her room and began to pound on the door. "OPEN UP CHELSEA PLEASE!" He shouted.

Chelsea who was lying on her bed sobbing didn't get up. She just sat there thinking of how she ever could have loved him at all. She remembered what Smoker had said about his new Invention that could take away her powers and make her normal.

I could be normal! Like that girl that Zolo likes! Maybe then he'll like me! She thought as she sat up. I'll have to find that Smoker guy though… She stood up and went through the wall as Zolo stopped pounding on her door.

Zolo collapsed to his knees his fists still on the door.

"Damn it Chelsea…I'm so so sorry…" he whispered
