Chapter 8
Nami's headache something fierce. Gosh what hit her? The last thing she remembered was picking wheat in a field while Sanji chased some wild chickens. Then as she lifted her face to bask in the beautiful sun, she heard a crunch then, nothing.
"Ugg." She groaned blinking her brown eyes open. Bright light blinded her for a few seconds before her eyes adjusted to a very unfamiliar sight.
"Wait, W-where am I?" She said looking around. She was in clear sphere with her hands tied around her back. She glared at the outside of the sphere and spotted six other spheres around her. Where ever she was, she hadn't left the island, thank god. They only had today to get supplies and leave to Alabasta for Vivi. But where was Sanji? And her friends? Had they been kidnaped like with Mr.3? They freaking didn't have time for this. Ugg.
Squinting she tried to make out the sphere closest to her. She could see someone in it but who? "Hello?!" She called "Anyone there?! Hello!?"
"It's no use in calling out like that, they can't hear you." A droll gruff voice spoke up from the shadows.
Nami paused her voice catching in her throat. She turned her head to look around but didn't see anyone. "Oh, yeah?" She replied putting her hands underneath her bum. She had a sharp hair clip in her right pocket if she could just reach it she could cut whatever was holding her hands.
"A-And who are you? What have you done with my friends?" Nami said calmly trying to keep the inanimate voice talking. The more information the better.
"Who am I?" The voiced replied sounding almost amused. "Y-yeah. I mean if you managed to capture us then you must be our enemy, right?" Nami replied casually. Just a little further she could almost feel it!
"Enemy? Mmn, In a way yes." The voice hummed. "But shouldn't you be more worried about getting out of your bounds with that hairclip in your pocket?" It asked shocking Nami.
Slowly she turns around curtain the voice came from behind her now. A tall dark figure stepped out of the brush into the light. White pale hair, dark skin, and a lollipop? Stood out as the sun shone down on him.
Getting her composure Nami looked the tall man in his gray eyes. "I-I don't know what you are talking about, I was trying to scratch my back."
The man cocked his head as if he was dissecting her. He was peculiar and slightly terrifying. With his emotionless face, curly white hair, in some type of Chinese garb, as he held a loli next to his lips. He could pass for a teenager if it wasn't for his long goatee.
"As we both know that statement was of no truth, I do wonder why you still try to deceive me." He replied taking a long lick of his loli.
Holy Berries. This man was creepy as hell and sent all sorts of wrongness signals to Nami. Shivering she stuck out her chin defiantly.
"So what. You didn't answer my first question." She glared at the man. "Who are you."
He paused in his licking and glanced back at Nami. "My name is of no consequence." He replied, turning back towards the forest. "But just so you know a name to call your reaper, I am known as Master Six."
He finished before vanishing into the dark forest.
So Usopp's idea of helping was fixing the Merry.
Usopp brought me down to the bottom of the ship, where I had to shimmy my way down the trap door to get to the bow. The Merry didn't look too bad from what I could see but she did have a few nicks and dents that looked like they needed to be tended too. Poor Baby.
Usopp walked over to the middle of the low room and point to a long beam in the middle of the ship. "See this here is the Keel. It got a bit damaged up by the stern but I can't reach up there to fix it." He said softly patting the beam. "So If you could use your wings to Fly up to put in some support beams it would be a big help."
He, he said the f-word.
Oh, shit!
I braced myself for the inevitable spazzing of my wings.
And nothing happened. After like a minute I opened back my eyes to see Usopp giving me an expectant look. Looking over my shoulder my wings didn't move a budge. I opened them and stared.
"Everything okay? Ahmmie?" Usopp asked. I lifted my wings up and down just to make sure they won't take off.
Huh. "Yeah, I'm fine." I replied scratching my head. "I just thought that my wings where going to freak out like earlier when you said the word fly-Ahhhhh"
I screamed as my wings flapped me up into the air. "Woah! Okay! I read about this in Chopper's book!" Usopp said sounding freaked out as my head hit the curved ceiling.
"Ow! Stop! Ow!" I said over again as I kept hitting my head. "Just calm down!" Usopp yelled. "If you keep calm it should calm your wings!"
"How am I supposed to keep calm when they keep hurting ME!" I cried after hitting my head again. My wings bounced me over to the other side of the ship as if looking for a way out. Oh, god. Just fucking stop! Wings! Why! Do! You! HATE! ME!
"Ahmmie you need to calm down, think of the sky! Birds think of that to help them fly." Usopp replied running after me as he waved his hands.
"You. Sure?!" I grunted trying to use my arms to stop my assent into the ceiling.
"Yeah!" He said grabbing my feet. "I Think at least."
"YOU THINK?!" I shrieked. Panicking even more. I'm a fucking die because I have demon wings the fuck Fates!
"I know! I know!" Usopp assured finally getting a good grip on my feet. He held me steady and stopped me from bouncing across the other side of the ship.
"Just think of the sky. And breathe. Calm. Calm. Think of the sky." Usopp coached me. He was surprisingly calmer then me at this point. And I always thought Usopp was the scare-dee cat. Or maybe I was freaking out enough for the both of us.
"Think of the sky." I replied. Okay I can do this. Think of the sky my mind echoed Usopp's words. Closing my eyes, I imagined the clear blue sky I saw before I landed here. White fluffy clouds. Soft wind brushing my cheeks. Brushing my wings. It could take me places. It could take me far away, but slowly. Ever so slowly like a single inch in existence, like a small petal floating. Just floating. There's no need to move or go anywhere in a hurry, but I could if I wanted to. The wind brushed my wings again. They wanted to fly. They wanted to glide across the ocean. Feel the wind pushing against their tresses. But I was the sky. I was just floating.
Just floating.
"That's it." Usopp's voice rang in my mind. "Ahmmie you got it! Open your eyes look!"
I opened my eyes to Usopp's smiling face. I was no longer on the ceiling and Usopp was holding my hands as I floated only a few inches above the ground.
Slowly my mouth formed a smile then a full out shit eating grin. "I'm doing it!" I said giggling.
Usopp grinned with me.
After my little happy dance. I, with the help of Usopp, flew back and forth the bow of the ship till I got the hang of it. And the feeling was amazing.
I seriously don't know what I would do without my wings now. It was like a piece of myself was missing and I had to take a crowbar to get to it.
It was wonderful.
"Okay, take this plank and brace it against the heel up there." Usopp said an hour later. Taking the plank from his hands I braced it against the stern part of the heel. "Good. I'll hammer it in now." Usopp continued as he climbed the small step stool to hammer the plank in.
Once it was braced. We continued the same routine for another hour. Then we switched to bracing the sides of the heel till we ended back up at the bow of the ship.
"So now were on our way to Alabasta to save Vivi's country. Stop all the shoulder's from killing themselves or somethings." Usopp said as he finished telling me the straw hats story.
"Hay don't feel bad. I'm sure after we can take you back to your island Am-mar-ca, right?" Usopp said patting my shoulder just as I placed the last beam on the floor.
"No, Its okay." I replied pulling a strand of hair behind my ear. "Ah, I know what will cheer you up. How about I tell you the story on how I found a whole island made of fish poop?" Usopp asked putting back the tools in his bag.
I smiled floating up to the hatch of the bow. "A whole island of fish poop?" I giggled helping Usopp through the hatch.
"Yeah! There I was Captain Usopp sailing the East Blue, when on my journey I step up on this island thinking I found a new part of the grand world but as I hopped from island to island there at the end. I saw him. A giant goldfish! Pooping out the islands one after the other!" Usopp ranted through he holds.
"Pfff... Oh, God. Hahaha Usopp your face!" I giggled at his funny facial expressions. "What? Something on my face?" He
I bit my lip so I didn't burst out laughing. Usopp's face made the funniest expressions just like my Nana did and it set me off every time. Fates I missed her I thought as I climbed the stairs. Just as we stepped into the hallway we heard footsteps from the deck above us.
"The crew must be back! Come on time you meet the whole crew properly!" Usopp said happily. Lifting my wings, I floated behind him.
Just as we got to the door to the deck Usopp paused. "Usopp what is it?" I asked peering over his shoulder.
From my view, I could see through the little window on the door. Outside was not anyone from the Straw-Hat crew.
"Usopp." I whispered. "Who are they?"
"I-I don't know." He said shivering. " A-A-Ahmmie t-there's are port hole in the c-cannon room. W-we can e-escape from there m-maybe find out w-what they're doing here."
"O-Okay." I whispered back floating backwards. There was a man and woman on the deck of the ship. The woman from what we saw, was dressed in all black with spider web designs on her. She had long nails and sinister face.
The guy looked like a white Chinese American revolutionist. They were fucking creepy and probably crazy. The real question was why fuck where they on the Straw-Hat ship?
And Where was Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, Vivi and her duck?
Silently Usopp, who was surprisingly quiet on his feet, and I made our way to the cannon's porthole. Usopp put his finger on his lips in a be quiet sign as he and I pushed the cannon out of the way to get to the window.
"For pirates their ship could use some work." We heard a female voice say. "Well, I don't see anyone else sir. Shouldn't we head back make sure our captive little mousses are still in their cages?"
Captives?!
Usopp and I looked at each other. "They will be fine." A gruff voice replied. "The Straw Hats will not be a trouble for us."
The guy just said what?! Was the other's captured? Is that what the lady meant? Holy shit!
"This ship…" The guy trailed off. "Something feels off about it. Miss Mother's Day." He commanded.
"Yes Master Six." The female replied.
"Search the ship."
"Yes Master Six."
Usopp gave me a panicked look.
We had to get out of here!
We heard footsteps heading towards the hallway door. Shit! Shit!
Usopp froze up shivering and looked at the end of the halls opening. The creepy lady would so be able to see us once she got to the end of it.
Usopp looked around before looking out the opening of the cannon port. Then he looked at me.
I shook my head. Hell, no I was not jumping out there I mean I didn't even know if I could swim! My wings could be a devil fruit power.
Usopp shook his head yes.
I shook mine no.
The steps crept closer.
I looked down at the gentle ocean waves that lapped at the Merry's wall. Usopp grabbed my hand and made a begging pose.
The steps where almost upon us.
He wants to jump out. But if we made a splash wouldn't the people hear us? I looked at Usopp. His eyes where filled with tears and he was shaking severely.
I nodded. Leaning forward I hugged Usopp to my body. A heel clicked around the corner. I closed my eyes and we jumped out the hatch.
Hugging Usopp to me I let my wings catch wind. Once Usopp realize what I had done he clung to me like a leach. Letting my wings float us I moved us away from the hatch to the side of the ship trying not to drop Usopp. Boy, was he heavier than he looked.
"Master Six, There's no one else on the ship sir." We heard Miss Mother's Day say from above us.
"MMmm. We waisted enough time here already we must get back to the captives. And make sure Miss Wednesday learns her lesson." Master six's voice rang across the ship. He threw something over the ship into the ocean.
Miss Mother's Day giggled vomitlike. "Yes Master six. OH, do say I get the buffy one he would look so good in my collection."
"We shall see Miss Mother's Day." Master six replied as we heard them leave the ship.
I floated us up onto the Merry as soon as I was sure they left. Dropping down Usopp I fell to my knees breathing hard.
"Hah, your so much heavier then you look." I panted weekly. "Oh-Oh God! What are we going to do! They captured the crew they must be working with Baroque Works." Usopp freaked out next to me. "We got to hurry! Ahmmie Get up! It's up to us to save them! Though I really don't want to..." He cried pulling out a long staff from his bag.
"Please tell me you're a secret super power master?!" Usopp asked spazzing as he held my shoulders.
"N-No! I don't even know how to throw a punch!" I cried back freaking out. I was freaking out. How the fuck did this happen. I don't remember there being a Master Six or Miss Mother's Day in the series. Oh, god Did I fuck everything up. Fucking fates why can't you just take me home.
Fucking coma. Fucking death I just want to home! "Ahmmie! Pull yourself together!" Usopp shook me even as he had tears in his eyes.
I looked at him my own eyes shining. "U-Usopp what do we do?" I asked my voice cracking.
"We save them. Because their Nakama. They're our friends." He replied with steel eyes.
