One Piece: The Little Stowaway Ch. 2

My Name Is Miyu

"Oh, no... guys, I just remembered that my 'Can't go-searching-for-dangerous-stowaway disease kicking in," Usopp murmured as he has a deep dread in his heart that looking for this stowaway which can be hostile if they find it. "Maybe it's best we should go back to bed and let you all handle it."

Before he gets to turn around to make his leave, Zoro grabbed him by the collar, preventing him from booking it. Even after two years, Usopp still acts like the same old coward he is.

"Would you quit being a wuss, you agreed to help us find this intruder in the first place?"

Franky: "Yeah, bro, toughen up for once in a lifetime! Haven't you trained yourself after two years?"

"Yeah, I mean grow some guts for Pete's sake!" Nami scolded.

"Hey, you're the one to talk when you hide between Zoro, and Sanji during our fighting against Hody Jones and his fish-men!" He rebutted. "Ever thought about that!?"

"Well, at least I fought back!" She countered with a comical angry face that made Ussop hide behind Zoro.

"Y-Yeah, good point." Usopp shuddered.

Luffy: "Come on, Usopp, even if Nami is a scaredy-cat, she still did take on some few fish-men with no problem. I mean she's gotten a lot stronger, right Nami?"

Nami calmed down a bit from his compliment as she blushed a bit with a soft smile.

"Yeah, but I wouldn't say 'that strong'. But enough chit-chat and more searching."

"We aren't getting anywhere on finding the stowaway. I say we've split up and divided into separate groups around the ship. That way we can cover more grounds from that way."

"Good idea! Glad I'd thought of that." Usopp said taking all of Sanji's credit causing him to grumble. I'll go with Luffy and Zoro, where I feel safer." He said the second part in a whisper.

"Fine, I'll take, Robin, and Sanji with me while Franky and Brook go search over Soldier Dock System," Nami suggests.

Franky: "You can count on us, sister!" He gives a thumbs up to her."

Brook: "It would be my great pleasure to work alongside Mister Franky."

Sanji: "And will be my honoring pleasure to work aside you Nami-Swan and Robin-Chwan!" The perverted cook exclaimed excitedly.

"I'm counting on you all guys!" Luffy praised.

"Right!"

With that, they started each part of the ship. Luffy's group sets to check Usopp's Factory and Franky's Workshop, while Nami's group decided to search through the ship's hold since that is what the peanut butter tracks have stopped towards. Whoever the mysterious stowaway did the smartest idea to lick the substance off.

It wasn't long until Luffy's stomach decided to growl loudly as if a grizzly bear were in there.

Uaaagh, we've been searching for hours! And I'm starving! He whined,

"Would you shut your stomach up!?" He nudged him. "You're going to give away our position! What this stowaway get the jump on us?"

"Let him try," Zoro itching to draw his swords. "I'll slip that stowaway in half if he ever gets that chance."

"I-isn't that a bit too much, Zoro? He asked as a bead of sweat fell from his brow.

"Unless you got better ideas on how to handle this problem?" Zoro grumbled.

"Why don't we trap it instead? It will be a lot less brutal." He said with a nervous smile and mentally begging Zoro not to turn him into sushi.

"How about we use Usopp as bait?" Luffy suggests, which gave the green-haired swordsmen image of him being slathered with BBQ sauce and displayed on a dish with apple stuff in his mouth.

"Whatever you're thinking, Zoro, don't!" He comical shout.

~Solider Dock System~

Meanwhile, Franky, Brook, and Chopper, joining in the search after finishing cleaning up the mess from the kitchen all scanned every top to bottom of Sunny's Soldier Dock System. Chopper looks inside the Brachio Tank as Franky checks under the Black Rhino, and Brook peers inside the Shark Submerge. So far they found no trace of the stowaway intruder insight.

"It's not here," He said while exiting the brachio tank. "Where else could it possibly be, we've searched everywhere."

"I'm sure the others will find whoever this stowaway is," Brook poke out of the hatch top of the sub. "You find anything yet, Mister Franky?"

"Nothing." He replied carefully putting the Black Rhino down.

~At the Ship's Hold~

"Nothing over here." Sanji said as he rummages through barrels and creates."

It's got to be here somewhere." She said while scratching the back of her head. "Any updates, Robin?"

"Sorry, I don't..." she trailed off as she caught something in corner of her eye. "What a moment." she squat down and inspected something that she had never noticed before. "Nami come look at this."

"What?" Nami asked strolled over to her. "What did you find?"

"Look over there," Robin pointed out what seems to be a crack. "You've noticed this from before?"

"No... I've never seen this before." Nami puzzled.

"Exactly, cause it looks like a secret hatch behind the sacks of potatoes." Robin acknowledge.

"You're right." Nami nodded.

They moved the sacks aside and sure enough was a makeshift sliding wooden hatch.

"How the hell did this stowaway manage to do all this without us knowing?" Sanji asked feeling more puzzled than Nami is, she shrugged her shoulders up.

"Now let's see what this stowaway is doing down here."

"Hold on," He stops her. "It could be dangerous for you to go in there not knowing what might be inside. Let your knight in shining armor go in and look."

The cook gets down on all fours and slides the wooden board open. He then cautiously peer his head inside the hollow area of the ship. However, it was pitch dark and he can barely see.

"Damn, going to need my lighter."

With that, he'd pull his lighter out and flick the spark wheel as the flame which did the trick a bit as it slightly illuminate the dark area.

"Huh?" Sanji notices something. "Hey, there's someone..."

But then his sentence was cut off by something that was thrown right at his face catching him off guard.

Yanking himself back as he panicky flails around his arms around, his screams are muffled by some smother in his face... like some strange blue glob wrapped around his head!

"What the fuck is this?!" He exclaimed as he grabbed the sticky substance attempting to pull it out of his face.

"Sanji!" Both Nami and Robin exclaimed, rushing over to help him.

The orange-haired navigator grabbed hold of this weird blob and tug and yank it hard until it let go of its face making a loud popping sound as Sanji gasped for air.

Looking down at what she had held in her hand was a little blue slime ball that has big white eyes with dark pupils as they look at her. Nami can only response was a simple scream.

"KYAAAAAAA! WHAT IS THIS THING?!" Nami squealed as the blob itself also shriek in fright leaping off from her hand and dove inside her tank-top shirt, between her bosoms which made her squeal even more. "GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" She panicked.

"Hey!" Sanji cried in total fury after witnessing this strange gooey creature burrowing in Nami's melons. "You damn slime ball bastard, get out of there!"

He shove his hand in Nami's chest which made the situation even worse as Nami furiously punch him in the face, sending him flying across the room.

"YOU PERVERT!" She shouted with an angry comical expression.

"Hold on there, Nami." Robin crossed her arms. "Dos Fleur..."

Two arms sprouted out of the navigator's shoulders as the reached down inside her shirt, caressing around her breasts to grab the little creature out of her. This also makes it even worse for Nami's case.

"ROBIN!" She yelled.

"I'm sorry about that Nami, but can you please be patient." Said Robin as she tried to grab the gooey substance.

But it proves difficult as she feels her cloned hands rubbing around, it even starts to tickle her.

"Hahaha! S-S-STOAAAHAHAHAHAP! IT TICKLES!" Nami burst out laughing and squirming around.

But then the strange gooey slime creature soon exits out Nami as it flies away past Sanji.

"Hey!" Sanji gives chase. "Get back here whatever the hell kinda abomination you are! You're going to pay for attacking me and Nami-Swan!"

Robin: "Snaji wait!" Robin uncross her arms and takes off running after him leaving Nami behind completely humiliated until she heard something knocked over.

She turns around fast to notice someone was standing by the sacks of potatoes she and Robin moved. One of them was knocked over as the substance of fresh tarts spilled over. But what caught her attention was the fact of what she was witnessing in front of her was a small little girl...but not just some girl, but a wolf-like humanoid.

By her appearance, her fur was grayish-purple, and her long hair was blue and was all matted and scruffy. she was covered in dirt and scoot from head to toe, and her clothes are in rags, with patches sewed in.

She stood there still as if she was a deer, frozen, shaken in fright with her eye widen and her pupils shrinking.

"What in the world?" Nami said in disbelief at what she was seeing.

Before she can do anything, the little wolf-girl takes off running in a feral style all four and trots off.

"Hey, wait!" Nami cried out as she chase after her, calling her out to stop. "Wait stop! Come back!"

Her words fell on deaf ears as the strange wolf-hybrid girl didn't seem to be slowing down. She tries many ways to lose the orange-haired woman who's in pursuit, knocking down some barrels, boxes, and creates. Luckily Nami manages to avoid and dodge them.

"Wait! Stop! I'm not going to hurt you! She called out to her as she chased the young wolf girl.

It didn't take long for the little one to trip and fall over on the wooden floor with a 'THUD!' before she struggles to get back on her feet, Nami grabbed her to which the little wolf-girl kicked at her and tried to claw her to break free, but Nami held on to her tight so she wouldn't escape from her grasp.

"Hey, calm down, I just want to talk." She explained trying to calm the anxious little stowaway down.

She whines, and whimpers as she struggles to get free, but Nami held her on for dear life as she effortlessly tries to calm her down. It took a few seconds until she calms herself until started to cry.

Hey, why are you crying?! She asked with a look of concern.

"P-please... I'm sorry... I... I... didn't mean to sneak in here on this ship. Go ahead, do your worse!" She shouted, bawling her eyes with a huge amount of tears.

"What? We're not going to hurt you." She said in a calm and soothing tone.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." She said repeating it over and over while Nami holds her close, stroking her head until she slowly calms down.

Hey, calm down now." She said while petting her head softy. "Shhhhhhh~"

Eventually, the little wolf-girl finally fasts asleep in her arms, resting her head on her chest like pillows as Nami looked down on the young wolf child.

'I wonder who she is, and how she'd end up here on our ship?' She thought to herself. 'More importantly what on earth was that strange glob that attack Sanji? Was that thing with her too?'

Speaking of Sanji, he was dashing around the ship in fiery rage while the poor little blob was shrieking in terror. This of course caught the attention of the other Straw Hats.

"COME BACK HERE, YOU STUPID CREATURE! I'LL TURN YOU TO JAM IF ITS THE LAST THING I'LL EVER DO!" He shouted with rage.

The blue blob flew over the balcony where Luffy was as it bumps right into his chest and plop down on the floor, eyes swirling.

"Huh? What's this? *He said as he picks the random blob up* is it edible?"

"What's going on? I hear Sanji yelling." The reindeer doctor asked.

Luffy turns around as his cheeks were puffed up as if he had something inside his mouth.

"Huh?!" He muffles.

"Uh, Luffy what do you have in your mouth?" Chopper asked.

The little gooey friend was inside his mouth and tries to eat it. However, it started to squirm and bounce around.

I jwos fwomd dis bwob an I tri to ewt it (I just found this blob and I tried to eat it) Said with a mouthful.

"LUFFY!" Sanji yelled as he comes to a full stop leaving fire trails behind. "Where is it? Where is that slime ball?!" He said his whole body is all aflame.

Luffy then spat the blob out.

"Here." He simply said handing it to his cook.

"You've caught it!" Sanji grinned devilishly. "Now it's payback time you little shit!"

But then the blob morphs and shape-shift into two pair of boxing gloves and start pummeling both him and Luffy as they held their guards up to defend themselves from their attacks.

"EHHHHHH?!" Chopper cried in shock. "What's going on!?

"What the hell is this thing?!" Luffy asked blocking the blows. "It's pissing me off!"

"Boys! Stand down!"

The two turn to see Nami along with Robin and the little stowaway who is now resting in her arms.

"Goo Goo!"

The boxing gloves transform back to his regular form as they hustle over to them.

"Nami! Robin! Look out!" Sanji cried out to them.

"It's ok," she assures him as the small blob went up to the sleeping wolf girl.

The little blob stroke and rubbed against her cheeks as the little wolf-girl moans softly while the gooey creature purred.

"Chopper, we need to take her to the sickbay," Nami said as she carries the young one over with Robin following her.

"Understood." He said while shifting into his heavy point and carrying the small wolf girl to the sickbay.

"Is that the stowaway, Nami?" Luffy asked.

"Mhmm," she nodded. "We need to tell the others that we have her here."

"The stowaway is a little girl? But... she's also a wolf?" Sanji looks stunned.

"Yeah, she probably ate a devil fruit or was just born with it. Either way, we're not quite sure," she said while she scratched her head.

"Perhaps I can go over some books to see if I can find who or what she is." With that said, Robin heads to the library.

~In the Sickbay~

After they've gathered up the rest of the crew, they all stood by watching while Chopper runs a few checkups to see if she isn't contain any illness or other disease due to her ragged looks. Luckily the wolf-girl was able to cooperate.

"Hmm," He hummed. "She'd seems to be healthy for sure and doesn't appears she has no lice in her. I say she's okay."

"Well, that's a relief," Usopp whispered wiping the sweats off his brows.

"I wonder why she snuck in sunny?" The doctor asked, stroking under his chin with his hoof.

"More importantly," Zoro added. "How did she manage to sneak aboard our ship without us knowing... reminds me of how Robin was able to sneak into the Go Merry when we departed from Alabasta."

"Who knows?" Usopp shrugged. "For know, I don't see any way how she manages to do or how she did it. What matter we just need to know who she is and why she's doing here."

Chopper put his med-kit bag away and takes off his stethoscope.

"Well, we could ask some few questions from her, but by the looks of things, she seems to be unfit to talk yet. So let's give her some time."

"Okay," Nami nodded. "I'll stay here and keep her company. She seems to trust me."

Hearing about that made Luffy smile a bit, remembering how he trust her despite all the wrongs she had made since she was enslaved by Arlong and his pirates.

Ok! But can we eat now I'm starving *he whined as he looked at Nami with some cute puppy dog eyes*

Nami shook her head and sighed deeply.

"It's almost 1:00 in the morning, but know that we're fully awake, I guess there's no reason., so okay."

Luffy cheered.

"YAY! BREAKFAST!"

What does everyone want today? * He asked while going to the kitchen*

Oh! Oh! Oh! Waffles! Make hundred of waffles!" Luffy exclaims as she started to chant. "Waffles! Waffles! Waffles!"

"Okay already!" Sanji shouted with a comical anger expression.

"I'll just have coffee." Nami requested.

"Anything for you, Nami dearest." He said as he hands her a mug of hot chocolate he had made earlier. "In the meantime why don't you give our unexpected guest some of this. I bet she's cold as death itself."

As the other head to the kitchen to have early breakfast, she turns over to her as she extends her arm towards the little wolf-girl with the mug in hand, smiling softly.

Hey there, sorry for scaring you and your friend. *She said while handing her the mug*

The little young stowaway didn't respond to her as her bangs hid her eyes, refusing to take it.

"It's okay... you can have it. I won't hurt you I promise." she winks at her.

Hesitantly she slowly reaches out to it and takes it. At first, she wasn't sure and would think they tainted it with poison or something. But knowing this orange-hair woman is assuring she telling the truth, she slowly takes a sip.

Her ears pricked up and made a noise of delight after tasting the sweet hot cocoa.

"See?" Nami chuckled. "I told you."

Pulling the swivel chair and takes a seat.

"So tell me, little one. What's your name? I'm Nami."

"Um..." she was hesitant to speak.

"Hey, it's okay. Just take your time." The navigator said with confidence showing to her.

"M-Miyuki. My name is Miyuki. But I usually call myself Miyu."

"Miyu? What a cute name."

She flushed a bit of embarrassment with her ears flopping down.

"T-Thank you. Your name is nice, too." She said with a small smile.

Nami smiled back as she petted her hair.

Miyu flinched a bit at the touch but then sighs upon feeling her fingers stroking her ear.

"When you stroke my ears it makes me feel nice and comfy. It helps when I'm stressed or scared." She smiled with delight.

"I'm glad you like it." Nami giggled.

Miyu giggled as well as she was not convinced that she was more relaxed now.

"So..." Miyu trailed. "W-What happens now? Aren't you guys going to plan to throw us overboard?"

Nami just laughed at that question even though she shouldn't.

"Of course, we won't, we may be pirates, but we're not that cruel to throw a kid overboard."

"Oh," She tilts her head. "Then you must be some good pirates? I've heard their few pirates that are not like those evil ones that pillage villages and such."

Then the little blue blob hovers over to Nami which rubs against her cheeks and purrs like a little kitten.

"Oh! That little friend of mine is Goo. Say hello to her, Goo."

"Goo! Goo!" The blob chirped.

"Goo said hello." She smiled.

"Huh?" Nami looked confused. "You can understand what that thing is saying?"

"Of course, I do understand him and he's not a thing!" She lectured.

Nami looked at the blob and smiled. "Hello, I'm Nami."

"Goo, Goo." He hung down feeling guilt on his face.

"Goo also said he's sorry for scaring you and your friend... and... him..."

Nami knew what she talking about as she waved it off.

"It's ok I know you two didn't mean it."

"I know," she looks down, twiddling her two fingers together. "Since we've stowaway so many ships, including some with pirates we've thought you would try to harm us. That's why Goo attack you guys because he was trying to protect me."

"Ah, so that's why." Nami nodded in agreement.

Suddenly her stomach started to growl a bit despite having earlier she ate during her raid at the kitchen. Miyu blushed in embarrassment.

"Are you still hungry, Miyu? Nami asked with a chuckle.

"...Mhmm..." She meekly nodded.

"Is that so?" She said as she stood up. "I'm just going to get some food from Sanji."

You know something, I'd think you two would fit in just fine here." Nami said.

"Huh?" She looks up at her confused. "What do you mean that, Nami?

Nami of course brush it off.

Nothing. *She said as she led Miyu to the kitchen*

While they head to the kitchen to join each other for a nice morning meal, Robin was still at liberty going over each encyclopedia and other history books until she comes across a page that leaves the archeologist overwhelmed by this information and identifying who this strange stowaway is.

"No... it can't be..." Robin whispered to herself.

THE BE CONTINUED...
