If you ask me directly, Robin-san is a really mysterious woman. I mean, really. It's not like I was complaining about her on our ship (no seriously, I'm not), but about the fact that she hurt Takao is enough to make me ignore her or mad at her, not because she used to be our enemy.
"Is something wrong, Shinkan*-san?" the said mysterious woman asked me as I intensely staring at her for awhile now as she sat on the lawn chair.
"Not in particular." I replied shortly before stood up and left the deck into the girl's quarter to write a letter to someone in particular. Not Ace, mind you. It's another person which is the Fleet Admiral of the Marine right now. Yep, Sengoku.
Dear old geezer Sengoku,
What's up? I'm sure you're pretty pissed off by the fact I'm a pirate now, LOL. Not to mention sending you a letter. How are you, by the way? I'm great here, obviously. How's everyone there? Is Garp-jii still making ruckuses? Kuzan-san still keeps sleeping? Borsalino-san still keeps talking slow? If yes, then they're still in their great condition then, hehe. And please don't tell me about that dog's condition. Looking at him in the past for once is more than enough.
Welp, I think that's all, buh-bye! XD
From,
Ryuuen A. Erica
P.S: Don't reply back.
I giggled internally at the letter and folding it before putting it into an envelope. I stood up and walked out from the room to the deck, looking for Takao. I saw him perched on the railings on the top deck. I walked up to him and showed him the letter before grinning.
"Would you please send this to Sengoku? I want to piss him off." I said happily while Takao looked at me in disbelief.
"Are you mad?!" he yelled, unhappy.
"Nope! I'm lunatic!" I replied back happily while he face-wing on himself and sighed in frustration. "Now, stop complaining and go send this! Here's your bag and the letter is already inside, now go!" I shushed him away after I clung on the small waterproof bag around his neck. He just shook his head lightly before flew off. "Make sure not to get caught!" I shouted and laughed whole heartily before walked down to the lower deck, where Usopp was busy interrogating Robin-san while the others were busy with their own problems.
"I began as an archeologist at the age of 8. Then I had a bounty put on my head." Robin-san answered.
"Archeologist?!" Usopp echoed back.
"It's my family's tradition." She replied, "So for the next 20 years I was chased by the Government. Being just a child I couldn't survive out on the sea alone. That's why I've been with various 'villains', protecting myself. That's why I'm good at stealthy things. I'm quite good at it."
"Hmm, you are pretty confident about it." I joined in as I stood up behind Usopp, "What kind of operations?" I asked.
"Assasination~" she replied casually as she rested her head on her right palm.
"Luffy! According to my investigation, I came to the conclusion this woman is too dangerous!" Usopp cried out loud as he comical-cried, while the said rubber man is just busied himself with Chopper by looking at the hand that sprouted on the deck across the interrogation space by the woman as she just giggled at the scene of Usopp freaking out and yelling at them as they looked so happy and having fun at the hands that sprouted away and started playing with them.
"Well, that was a great joke!" I grinned and laughed heartily. "Hey! That's looks fun! Can I join in?" I asked happily.
"Really, they are useless." We heard Nami said as she sat down at the top one of the stairs, "I still remember you used to the the vice president of an evil organization. You were Crocodile's partner! You can fool Luffy, but you won't fool me. If I see anything suspicious, I'll get rid of you!" she warned.
"Hehe, okay I'll remember that." Robin-san replied before remembering something and taking it out, putting it on the table, "in that case, I'll just keep these jewels for myself." She said, revealing the thing as a bundle full of jewels.
"Waaa, I really like you, one-sama~" Nami cooed as she zoomed down to Robin-san's side with twinkling eyes.
"Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!" both Usopp and Zoro made a back-hand motion as they sweat-dropped at the sight.
"Nami got bribed by her!" Usopp said.
"So underhanded…" Zoro replied.
"Ah, it's love!" we heard a certain Cook exclaimed and we turned to look at him, slowly making a weird move toward the mysterious lady, "Flowing love, I am nothing but a blackened log, drifting on the current of the river. Struck by lightning commanded by you, which sent me into a river, ever flowing down a waterfall." He cooed before putting a plate of food on the table in front of Robin-san. "Here is a snack." He said.
"Oh? Thank you." The woman replied.
"Did he really just do that?" Zoro asked, swat-dropped.
"Yeah but he's that kind of guy…" Usopp replied.
"It seems we are the castle." Zoro pointed out, referring to the four of us (me, Zoro, Usopp, and Flame).
"Those guys really need someone to take care of them!" Usopp replied.
"Oi Usopp!" Luffy called and the long-nosed teen replied with a 'huh' as he turned with dark shadows hanging over him.
"Chopper!" he exclaimed with the same exact eyes like Chopper and expression, along with hands that sprouted on his hat as his fingers were divided like exactly Chopper's hooves. Both Usopp and me blurted out laughing hard as the four of us rolling around on the deck, laughing, while Zoro looking at us darkly as veins started to pop out, probably having a conflict between sweat-dropping or getting angry at us before deciding to walk away.
I was busy relaxing on the crow's nest as the commotion was over and the others were talking things down there. I was still closing my eyes until me eventually feeling something huge was right above us and something landed hard on my nose. I winced in pain as I put a hand on my nose until another thing landed on my head, making the other hand landed at the sore spot on my head as I cursed in pain while I heard everyone yelling at something falling right above us.
"What in the fucks…" I cursed softly as I looked up before widening it. Right above the ship and all of us, there was a shipwreck falling right above us, as some of the broken and obsolete parts were raining down toward the ship.
"Well, isn't that convenient?" I asked slowly as the giant shipwreck slowly falling toward us while the others down there sure looked panicked and so shocked that they can't even move. As the others busying themselves with their shock, I was sipping my drink casually as I saw the huge galleon slowly falling down right in front of our ship and landed on the sea, some of the parts were still falling down, and the sea wave was shaking the ship badly, making the others panicked and hanging onto something before they fell down into the sea.
"Everything that humans can imagine is a possibility in reality." I quoted the physicist Willy Karen as I grinned while I bit the straw of my drink and still gripping the railings, "How right is that in this place." I added and shook my head at the coincidence while the others were so panicked about it before looking down as I just saw a blur of a full body skeleton just fell past my face. I looked down and eventually heard/saw Usopp shrieking like a little girl as the skeleton fell right above him, making me blurted out laughing hard and pounding the railings as I laughed hard.
"RYUUEN A. ERICA! STOP LAUGHING AND HAVING FUN UP THERE AND GET DOWN HERE TO HELP!" Nami yelled.
"Meh, killjoy." I cursed and jumped down, landed on the wooden floor in front of Usopp, who was still shaken up by the fact he just saw a skeleton. The wave was already down so the rocking back and forth is not that bad anymore on the ship., along the fact there's no more things falling down from the sky.
"Why did a ship fall from the air!?" Luffy exclaimed in wonder.
"Too weird…" Sanji-san added.
"There's nothing up there…" Zoro continued.
"Wha!?" Nami exclaimed in shock as we turned to look at her as asked what's wrong, "What do we do now?!" she wondered as showed us the Log Pose, the pin was pointing upward. "The Log Pose is broken! It's pointing up, not even moving around!" she continued.
"No it's not." I said, "There's another magnetic field."
"How?" Nami asked.
"It's changing the direction of the pose." Robin-san said, "If it's pointing up it means it must have locked onto a sky island!" she continued.
"Sky island!?" everyone echoed back in confusion, "What it that?"
"Can an island really float!?" Luffy asked in excitement.
"Did that ship and skeleton really fall from there?" Usopp asked as he looked up at the sky.
"There's nothing th'at looks like an island." Zoro pointed out as he also looking at the sky.
"No, it's more like a floating sea." I explained casually.
"Sea!?" Nami yelled in confusion.
"That's even more confusing." Sanji-san pointed out while the trio stooges looked so excited about it.
"Is there really an island floating on top of a floating sea!?" Luffy asked once more before bringing up an arm and an index finger pointing upward, "Alright, let's go!" he announced.
"Everyone upward we go! Fool speed ahead!" Usopp announced.
"How are we doing that, Luffy?" I asked as I sweat-dropped, "This is a ship, not an airplane." I added.
"Yeah, it's impossible for a ship to go up, Captain." Sanji-san agreed.
"To tell you the truth I've never seen a sky island, I don't know about them much…" Robin-san told Nami.
"That's right! It's impossible! Floating islands and seas! The Log Pose is just broken, that's it!" Nami exclaimed.
"Are you dumb, Nami?" I asked as I made a face, "Log Pose never broken. Not until we reaching the New World, at least, but that's another matter. Besides, I've seen it once." In the anime. I told her as I crossed my arms across my chest. "I've heard it from Shanks long time ago." I added.
"But there's no way there are seas and islands above there! It must be broken!" Nami argued.
"No, Koukai-san. What you should worry about right now is not the Log Pose," Robin-san pointed out, "But how to get up there." she added.
"Sky island, eh?" I wondered as I looked up and grinned while the winds brushing off my hair softly, "This is gonna be awesome." I said and giggled, "Geshishishishi!"
XXX
Everyone was so busy talking about the Log Pose, sky islands, etc. while two of them are busying themselves by exploring the shipwreck. I could be careless about what everyone is talking about, cause I don't understand a thing about what the hell are they talking about until the conversation is finish and now Robin-san is opening a coffin that landed on our deck and started completing the skull's parts, with me helping too.
"What did you find?" Zoro asked.
"This." She replied shortly.
"What you're doing is really freaky!" Nami commented, "You too, Eri!" she added as she looked at me.
"Eh? Why? I think this is cool and interesting!" I replied happily.
"Dead body and two pretty ladies, they go good with each other." Sanji-san commented.
As the skull is complete, Robin-san put the thing on the floor and started examining it, which totally looked cool and interesting.
"This hole here is not natural." She said as she examined the holes on the skull.
"So that means that this guy died when someone bashed his head?" Sanji-san asked.
"No, it's from a surgery method known as trepanation. Isn't that right, Doctor?" Robin-san asked and Chopper confirmed it.
"Yeah, it was used to cure some head diseases in the past… but that is a very old method." He said.
"That's right; he died around 200 years ago, at the age of about 30." Robin-san explained, "He must have died of sickness wile voyaging. His teeth are still intact unlike the rest of his skull, because they were covered with rubber oil. This was a custom of a particular area in South Blue. From that point of history, this ship must have been used for exploring." she continued before taking out a book of history things and flipping away the pages as she search for a page and found it, "Found it, Saint Breeze from the Kingdom of Breeze in South Blue, it set sail 208 years ago." She said.
"If that ship was used for exploring, there must be a router in the ship," she said before turning to the said galleon, "But the ship is sinking quickly." She added and we saw the shipwreck is sinking quickly, along with Luffy and Usopp on it.
"Luffy hang on!" Usopp yelled.
"Uwah! Bwep meeb (help me)!" the rubber man exclaimed as he also slowly sinking.
"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING!" Nami yelled while I sighed before jumping into the sea to grab Luffy before he sunk. We swam to the ship, along with Usopp, and climbed on. I threw Luffy on the deck and I saw he's gripping something in his hand before he quickly stood up, facing everyone as I squeezed away the seawater from my top and hair.
"Hey everyone!" Luffy called, "Look what I got! I found something really cool! Look at this!" he exclaimed before showing the thing, which revealed as a map of Skypiea or a sky island before Nami snatched it away.
"A map of sky island?!" Nami exclaimed, "Skypiea…" she muttered as she reads the island's name.
"Hey! Hey! Does this mean there really is an island up there!?" Luffy wondered with sparkles around his face before the three of them (Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper) started exclaiming in happiness and cheering.
"Don't get so worked up, it's just a possibility… there are too many fake maps out there!" Nami said, making the three stooges stopped and started looking at Nami with expression full of disappointment and shadows hangs over them, which quite hilarious and sad as I took a photo of the sight.
"Nami, stop being such a killjoy, would you?" I asked in pity after I took a shot of the sight, "Especially to these kids." I added as I pointed my thumb at the sulking three.
"Ah! Sorry sorry! There is, there is. There must be one…" Nami trailed off until she fumed at Luffy as she slammed her fist on the mast, "All I want to say is I don't know how to get there!" she exclaimed with shark teeth, while Usopp told her to go easy on the ship.
"You're the Navigator right!? Think of something!" Luffy yelled back, shark-teethed.
"There is something called impossible!" Nami yelled back.
"I don't care! I wanna go up there!" Luffy yelled back and I sighed before walking up to them before putting a hand each of their heads.
"There, there. Stop arguing now, we'll think of something else." I told them as I patted their head softly and walked away. "At any rate, why don't we salvaging the shipwreck? I think it will be awesome." I suggested, "Plus, there probably some information we need." I added.
"Salvage it?" almost everyone echoed back before Nami agreed to it.
"That's right! If it's sunk then we just have to salvage it!" Nami exclaimed and the three of us (Luffy, me, and Usopp) cheered on it.
"Is that even possible!?" Zoro yelled, shark-teethed.
"What is salvage?" Chopper asked.
"It means to pull up a sunken ship, but that one is too big for us." Robin-san answered.
"Then we'll try something to do it!" I replied and cheered, along with the other two.
"I told you how that is even possible!?" Zoro yelled again.
XXX
"See? I told you we're gonna work this out." I told Zoro as I grinned from beyond the homemade swimsuit, which actually using the barrel with a glass window, two sleeves for the arms by vinyl, and long rubber tube that connected to a air pump, along with the other trio monsters.
"I still don't know how this worked…" Zoro muttered as he looked at the suit on his body before looking at the rest of us, "Are you sure this is going to work?" he asked, slightly worried.
"Maybe." I replied and shrugged.
"Nami-swaan, I will find the thing that will bring us up to the sky~~" Sanji-san exclaimed.
"It's up to you now." Nami said, ignoring the Cook.
"Don't worry! My work is as good as perfection!" Usopp said.
"It must be!" I told him, "If not, I'll kill you if I'm dead!" I added.
"How is that even possible?" Usopp replied.
"I dunno, probably haunt you until you dead?" I shrugged before the salvaging teams walked up to the railings before jumped into the sea.
"Well, good luck…" I heard Usopp said as we're in the sea and slowly going down.
This actually pretty cool! I can see the darkness of the deep sea! Yahoo!
"This is Chopper, please reply." I heard Chopper said.
"This is Eri! Oi! This is so cool! I can see the darkness of the deep sea!" I exclaimed, excited, before I saw a giant sea snake or something down us, "Hey! I see a giant sea snake! This is so cool!" I exclaimed as we kept going down and focusing at the area around us using my haki.
"Salvage (clash)! Salvage (clash)! Salvage (clash)!"
I winced at the loud sound that ringed in my head as I used my haki before quickly canceling my Kenbunshoku haki. I swear that salvaging pirate is really loud group! Not to mention they're apes' families! Not that I hate apes, as they're so adorable, but this one is so loud! And another one too, though.
"There's someone out there, right?" I asked to the others up the ship, "I mean, groups of monkeys, right?" I corrected myself.
"Yeah, kind of." I heard Usopp said.
"What a trouble." I muttered as we kept going down until I saw something swimming toward us and I quickly punched it away, which revealed as someone. I just stared at the person that slowly floated up and shrugged. I always did that, whenever I saw something unusual or unfamiliar, I tended to punch or kick them away.
Some fishes were approaching us as they looked at us in interest while an octopus latched itself on Zoro, maybe it likes him. Both Luffy and me smiled in excitement as we finally saw the shipwreck. We slowly landed on the deck of the shipwreck and we coded to each other to split up to look for things in the room together. We nodded and we split up away.
I slowly swam into the sea floor and swam around in the room. I particularly only saw rubbishes, same goes with the boys. I saw Luffy brought up an old vase before it broke into million pieces in his hands. Then he looked at me and we swam together before we saw something that kind of weird from distance. We swam forward and finally saw the thing as a wooden and old speedboat. I knew this is an old version of waver, if I'm not mistaken. Wow, this shit is really old that it almost looks like gonna fall apart if we don't careful with it. But then Luffy grabbed it in interest and doing things at it, making me slowly telling him to not do that too hard or he'll break it with sign language and he nodded in understanding as he stopped doing so.
I gave his gestures to bring it with us later and he nodded before we swam away to the other side of the shipwreck and met up with the other two. Luffy saw a big chest from faraway and pointed at it as he called us. Zoro took a harpoon piece and broke the lock before opening the chest, revealing a single feather at the bottom of the chest, making the other three were slumped their shoulders in disappointment, as they probably hoping it as treasures, while I took the feather and twirled it. Then I felt something big is coming and quickly swam backward, along with everyone else that saw my gesture until suddenly a giant sharp thing pieced through the wooden and falling apart wall in front of us, surprising us at the sudden intrusion and Luffy yelled at the sight.
Still not over with our shock, we felt something grabbed the shipwreck and saw a ball of air that came out from the sharp thing near us, slowly filling the ship with air as the ship slowly dragged up. Then we saw bunches of swimmers approaching us and the boys took them down and beating them up while I just watched the scene. After they finished and the swimmers are knocked out cold, we took off our barrel suits.
"See! It's okay if we take off the barrels!" Luffy pointed out.
"I wonder if the air runs out from the ship and the seawater runs in again and we're gonna drown if we don't hurry putting our barrels on." I wondered.
"Stop saying creepy things like that." Zoro said before looking around, "I didn't think that this much air could come down here, but who is trying to list the ship up?" he asked.
"Could something have happened to Nami-san and Robin-chan?" Sanji-san asked, "I tried to contact them many times but didn't get any response!"
"They'll be fine." I replied as I sat down on my barrel suit and twirling the feather in my fingers. Then suddenly a certain someone breaks down the wall across us with a punch, making us turned to look at it.
"Who dares to cause trouble in my part of the sea!?" the person exclaimed.
"Ah! A monkey!" both Luffy and me pointed out with blank face to the person as we saw him, which exactly like a monkey, only this one wear clothes and headphones with sunglasses.
"Eh? Do I really look like a monkey?" the person/monkey asked, slightly embarrassed and happy? I dunno.
"Yeah, you look more like a monkey than a real monkey!" Luffy continued.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Zoro asked as he sweat-dropped at the statement.
"What?" Luffy asked back.
"Why is he happy that he was told that he looks more like a monkey than the real monkey itself?" I wondered as I sweat-dropped too.
"Who are you?" Sanji-san finally asked.
"I'm Masira!" the person/monkey replied back and we talked things for a bit.
"Really? You guys came from East Blue?" the monkey/person asked.
"Yeah. You really do look like a monkey." Luffy said, again.
"Ahh! Stop it you're making me blush!" the monkey/person replied.
"Seriously?" I muttered, "What kind of person or things that blushed just because somebody else telling them looks like a monkey?" I added.
"I dunno," Zoro replied as he pulled the octopus away from his shoulder, "Probably just this weird guy." He added and both Sanji-san and me nodded.
"How can they get along so well?" Sanji-san wondered.
"Maybe because those two are 'monkeys'." I answered blankly before the monkey/person saw the bundles we got and started going berserk, which of course was being handled by everyone.
Then I suddenly felt a huge thing approaching the shipwreck we're currently on and before I can warn the others, the shipwreck we're on suddenly crushed from either side from the top and the bottom. As the shipwreck is crushed, seawater is pouring in fast and we (the non-DFs) quickly breathed in the air before we're completely in the seawater once again.
I closed my eyes as I focused the surroundings with haki. I quickly grabbed Luffy and the bundle full of things we found earlier and gestured the other two (I don't care about the monkey/person) to follow me before I swam away as I search for the way out. They seems to be following me as I found the way out and swam out, minding Luffy and the bundle too in my arms carefully. I felt my air is going to run out soon, so I sped myself up to the surface and threw Luffy along with the bundle too first to the ship as we right beside the ship and jumped on the deck.
"Is everyone okay?" I asked to the others on the ship before looking around as I just realized at the dark sky, "Hey, who turned off the light?" I asked casually.
"Luffy! What happened to you!? Are you dead!?" Nami exclaimed as she slapped Luffy back and forth.
"Zoro! Sanji! Eri!" both Chopper and Usopp exclaimed in relieves.
"Let's go! We have to get out of here!" Zoro told the others.
"That guy was a pain…" Sanji-san cursed.
"You're safe! Ahh! We should run away from that giant sea turtle first!" Usopp said.
"Turtle? No it was just a monkey." Zoro replied.
"Must be some kind of sea monster." Sanji-san confirmed.
"It was very friendly with Luffy at first," Zoro continued.
"Since they are both monkeys." Sanji-san agreed.
"But when he saw the sacks full of stuff we found, he started going berserk on us!" Zoro exclaimed.
"He was like a crazy gorilla!" Sanji-san exclaimed.
"Yeah that's Masira, he's here to recover the sunken ship! Good job escaping from that giant sea turtle's mouth…" Usopp told them before turning at the said giant turtle.
"Turtle? What turtle?" Sanji-san asked.
"Huh? That's weird, the turtle has its mouth wide open… no wonder you were able to escape." Usopp confirmed and I turned to look at the said giant turtle.
"Woah!" I exclaimed and taking out my camera before taking a picture of it, despite with the dark sky, "That's a huge sea turtle!" I exclaimed in awe.
"Whoa! What the hell is that!?" both Sanji-san and Zoro exclaimed in shock.
"You just noticed it!? That thing swallowed the ship with you guys in it!" Usopp yelled the two as Luffy finally woke up.
"Huh? Is it nighttime already?" he asked, dumb-found.
"Luffy! Help move the ship out!" Usopp told him before suddenly a certain monkey/person jumped out of the sea near the ship.
"You! Cannot leave!" he yelled and landed on the railing that already falling apart, thanks to that big-mouth hippo that ate a chunk of it. "You think you can just come into my territory to setal my treasure and just run away from me!?"
"Treasure?" Nami asked in interest, "You found treasure?" she asked again.
"Yup! Lots of it." Luffy replied with a grin.
"But remember Nami, don't get your hopes up. Once you fall, it will be really painful." I warned her as the said 'treasure' is slightly different from both Luffy's point of view with Nami's.
"This is bad, if he goes berserk on the ship…!" Zoro grabbed the handle of his katana and probably will pull it out if the monkey/person's crew didn't call their Captain as the trembled in fear and pointing at something, which taking most of us' attentions and we turned to look at the space that being pointed at before almost of us stared in shock and fear with bloodshot eyes, while I just widened my eyes and gaped a bit.
The funny thing is, apparently the sea turtle is also shocked about it, along with the bloodshot eyes.
Right on the sky, there are some huge shadows that shaped almost like someone with wings and kind-of harpoon-like in their hands as they looked like they were looking down that reaching from the up sky to the bottom of the sea. I took a picture of it by instinct while everyone is still staring at the huge shadows in awe and fear. Then as one of the shadows that on the center bringing up its' hand with its' weapon, which followed with the other shadows and some scary noise.
"MONSTER!" almost all of us exclaimed in fear and shock before the boys quickly rowing the ship away from the shadows while the girls grabbed onto something so we won't fall off. At the amount of speed we're in, slowly we're finally away far from the dark sky and the huge shadows to the sky that shining brightly with fluffy clouds and the bluest sky, along with some seagulls flying right above the sea.
"…impossible…" Nami muttered as the boys finally stopped rowing and we were all circling down on the deck.
"Ha…haha…" Usopp laughed weakly, "Yeah… nothing could be that big." He said.
"Today has been a really weird day…" Sanji-san pointed out as he lights up a cigar with pale face.
"A galleon fell from the sky…" Zoro added with some cold sweats trailing down from his forehead.
"The Log Pose keeps pointing up…" Nami said as she panted, along with cold sweats.
"The strange monkey appeared to recover sunken ship…" Usopp said as he breathes heavily.
"A giant sea turtle ate the ship…" Chopper said.
"The sky went black…" Robin-san sighed.
"Finally giant monsters a hundred times bigger than regular giants showed up!" Luffy finished, along with Flame that woofed in agreement.
"Yup! That really scared me!"
…
We're all turned to the source of the voice and we saw a familiar creature that talking and circling along with us.
Yup, it's the monkey/person guy.
The four of us (Luffy, me, Zoro, and Sanji-san) stood up and approaching the guy before kicking him away to the sky.
"GET OUT OF HERE!" we shouted as we kicked him away into the sky with shark-teeth and tic mark appeared on our back head.
"Stupid monkey-slash-person creature!" I huffed before turning back to the others with big smile, "But you know! I took a picture of the monsters you guys called earlier, want take a look?" I offered as I showed them my camera with some sparkles around my face, still with big smile.
"WE DON'T WANT TO!" Nami yelled with shark-teeth.
XXX
"Hey! Did you guys forget what you went underwater for!?" Nami yelled at the salvaging team.
"Well, I did warn you about the 'treasure' we found." I told her, which eventually earning a hit in the head.
"All you brought back was trash and nothing about how we can get to the sky!" Nami yelled again as she pointed at the things we brought back, along with Luffy who walking back and forth using a rusted armor.
"There was nothing else in it!" Zoro protested.
"Yeah, that's true Nami-san." Sanji-san agreed. "That ship had obviously been attacked. Either that or there was some sort of disagreement that caused them to turn on each other" he continued.
"If that's so, then information is even more crucial. Don't you get it!? If we went into the sky right now, whatever happened on that sunken ship could happen to us too!" Nami exclaimed and bringing up her leg, "The info we have can mean life and death! Look at this stuff: rusted swords! Food ware! Octopus! What I need are things like a diary or sea chapters, not this junk!" she stomped on the stuffs, breaking them apart in million pieces while the Swordsman and the Cook showing their protest slightly as the crouched down and looking in horror as Nami crushed the stuffs before turning to Luffy, "…and what's that, Luffy?" she asked.
"Armor, to protect me from harm." Luffy replied and a sparkle appeared beside his face. Then Nami punched, kicked, and smashed Luffy along with the armor, which of course smashed to million bits because of age.
"Ahhh! The armor is smashed to bits!" Zoro exclaimed in desperate.
"Nami-swaan~ I brought back a beautiful shell for you." Sanji-san swooned as he showed the Navigator the said shell.
"I don't want it, you baka!" Nami yelled with shark-teeth.
"But I got a feather here." I slipped my hand into my shorts pocket and taking out the said feather before twirling it. "And it's in a chest box. I bet this must be some kind of clue, right?" I asked before turning to the speedboat thing and put a hand on it, "And this too. This is probably some kind of transportation from the sky island the Log Post is pointed at." I explained.
"That doesn't help at all!" Nami yelled, "All we need is information to go to the sky, not the things from the sky that doesn't really help us to go up!"
"Che, stupid sea-witch." I cursed, "Stupid ungrateful witch." I added before turning to Sanji-san, "Gimme the shell!" I said happily and he gave me happily too. "Now, another one of my collections~" I muttered and giggled darkly as slowly the aura around me darkens a bit as I giggled creepily, making some of the guys near me back away a bit before I turned and took the octopus that apparently the one with Zoro earlier on the rubbishes.
"Sanji-san! Make me some takoyaki!" I exclaimed and Sanji-san obeyed to do so as he took the octopus and go to the kitchen. Not even five minutes later, the takoyaki is ready to serve.
"Ittadakimasu~!" both Luffy and me exclaimed before putting in the octopus ball into our mouth and ate it happily. "As expected from Sanji/-san's number one's cooking!" we exclaimed and put in another one into our mouth as we chew on the food. As we eat (I only gave Flame one of the takoyakis I have), we heard Nami saying about 'Jaya' and we climbed on the railings near the girls.
"Jaya?" both Luffy and me echoed back, "Are we going to go there?" Luffy asked as he chews the takoyaki.
"Shouldn't that be for you to decide!?" Nami yelled, shark-teethed, as Luffy put in the rest of the takoyaki into his mouth and gulp it downs after he chew on it and jumped down, while I jumped down too and got another plate of takoyaki from Sanji-san.
"Oookay! Turn toward Jaya full speed!" Luffy commanded, "To Jaya full speed-turn!" he said again.
…
"Nami, which direction is that?" I asked as I still eating the takoyaki.
"To the left." She replied shortly.
"To Jaya, full speed ahead!" Luffy commanded again.
"Ahh! Hey! Wait a second! If we just… go directly to Jaya, won't the 'record' be over-written when we're there?" Usopp wondered as he ate the takoyaki, "In other words, we won't be able to get to 'sky island'!" he exclaimed.
"Stop moving toward Jaya!" Luffy exclaimed before facing Nami. "Hey Nami! What's going on here!?" he exclaimed.
"Going to Jaya was your decision right?" Nami asked casually.
"Yeah, that's right, but I didn't think that the situation would turn out like this!" he said.
"You didn't think, it's your fault then. The 'Log Pose' has always been like that." Nami replied.
"Yeah, you're right." Luffy replied and I face-palmed.
"Alright! Listen, I am the Capta-in, so I'll decide where we go." Luffy said as he put in a takoyaki into his mouth, "I want to go to 'sky island'!" he continued.
U"Sure, how will you get there?" Nami asked.
"The fastest way is just to ask around for info." I said as I ate the takoyaki.
"Right, we can ask around in Jaya." Luffy replied.
"Well then, head for Jaya…" Nami decided and walked away.
"Alright! To Jaya, full speed!" Luffy exclaimed and Usopp hit his head at his simple mind.
"When we're there, the 'record' won't be set so fast. How about if we leave Jaya before record is set?" Robin-san suggested to Nami.
"It will be depending on luck then." Nami replied.
"Hmmm. Then it's settled." The four of us (the trio stooges plus me) joined in the conversation between the two as we ate the takoyaki.
"Alright me mateys! Let's go! To the kingdom of meat!"
"Yeaaahh!"
"Don't day dream!
"Nami-san, Robin-chan, Eri-chan, 'the exclusive ladies only takoyaki' are done."
"Arigatoo Sanji-san! Ittadakimaassu~!"
Well, it seems we're gonna meet that annoying 'hyena' at Mock Town… and if lucky, meeting with 'Kurohige'…
A/N: HEYAAAA~~! XD
Don't throw things at me please! I know this is late, but I have my reasons!
One, I was on a holiday trip to my grandmothers' houses to do things.
Two, the signals there are totally a bitch.
Three, I'm always out the house so I got no time to write.
Four, in my boringness I made a lemon of Ace and Eri in an AU storyline. I'm such a jerk, am I?
And the last is my pure laziness too. Sorry!
Not much to sa—hey wait! I have! Hey guys listen! I got in the top ten this semester! I'm so cool, right!? I don't even study for exams, like, ever, cause I'm too lazy to do that. And if I do study, it usually at school, because every time I study at home, I can't concentrate like, ever, and got distracted by daydreaming about One Piece.
And I got some figurines of the Shirohige Commanders! Especially the Ace one and Thatch! Those two are my favorite Commanders of all! And another one, which is Marco the Phoenix, but I didn't get him! Why!? He's like the most awesome and hot (after Ace, of course) male character I ever saw!
But a friend of mine (which actually a Naruto fan, especially NaruHina) said that Marco is ugly! No why!? He's the most awesome (after Ace, of course) character I ever see! Especially with that DF power! KYAAAAAANN~~!
*coughcough* …sorry about that…
And HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Even though it's already passed a few days, but fuck it.
Anyway, Reviews!
To gamelover41592: SORRY FOR THE LATENESS! THIS IS NOT WORTH WAITING, PLEASE! YOU'RE TOO KIND! IT BURNED MY HEART BECAUSE OF YOUR KINDNESS!
To OP-kun: This is late! I know! And Robin really is a really mysterious lady… how intriguing… *stare at Robin from behind* And anyway, look! A new cover! I worked myself up for that! Especially Kurohige… ugh, why did I draw him again? Right, the plot. Damn. And HAPPY NEW YEAR! Though it's slightly late, but it's still just a few days! It won't hurt! XD
Okay, I think that's all. THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS/FAVORITES/FOLLOWINGS YOU GUYS! HERE HAVE SOME VITUAL COOKIES! *throw cookies, which eventually picked up by Eri-chan*
DON'T FORGET TO DO THE THINGS UP THERE TOO IF YOU READ THIS! ESPECIALLY YOU, SILENT READERS! I DEMAND YOU TO DO IT!
DISCLAIMER: I NEVER OWN ONE PIECE AND THE CANON CHARACTERS THAT BELONGS TO EIICHIRO ODACCHI! ERI-CHAN AND THIS STORY IS BELONGS TO ME!
