CHAPTER 13
"Do you have any sixes?"
"Go fish."
"Why am I even playing this game? I don't even know how to play it! Won't you rather play chess or something like that?"
"NO!" Penguin, Shachi, Josh and Cody yelled in unison at Miyako's suggestion.
"That's because Miya-chan always wins in games like that…" Shachi said with a sweat-drop.
"You mean games where you actually have to use your brain." Miyako asked a bit annoyed at their reaction.
"Yes!" Penguin exclaimed but then blushed as he realized what he said.
Josh just sighed. "Well I can understand why you all got something against playing games where you need brains…" He rolled his eyes.
"Shut it short-stuff, you're no better!" Penguin countered and the two started arguing. At least until a metal spoon flew from the kitchen and hit Josh in the head.
"ow! What gives?" Josh rubbed his head and looked at Munk who had an irritated face and held his hands firmly on his hips. They were all currently in the galley after lunch with nothing to do and lots of boredom to kill.
"Don't ya be fighting in me kitchen lads!" Munk called. "Don't ye all have some work to do?" He added.
"Nope." They all said in unison.
Munk sighed and threw his hands in the air, giving up. He turned around and went deeper in the kitchen and continued his work on whatever he was doing there.
Then the doors of the galley flew open and Bepo ran inside hysterically flailing his hands with something in them.
"Calm down Bepo, what's wrong?" Penguin shouted making the bear stop instantly and bow his head apologetically.
"sorry."
Everyone rolled their eyes.
"Just tell us what's going on." Shachi suggested and Bepo ran to them.
"Look at today's newspaper! I've already showed it to the captain."
Cody took the papers and started reading, but his tone soon started sounding confused as he read on; "Three steps to make your skin as soft as-"
"Not that!" Bepo yelled a bit annoyed. "Here!" He pointed at a particular article.
Cody looked at it and read it silently at first. Soon his expression turned into a shocked one. "Whaaa? What's with this guy?"
Everyone huddled close to Cody and read the article as well, widening their eyes.
"Luffy-san?" Miyako exclaimed. The straw hat boy woke up just a few days ago and already started to make a ruckus. He actually returned to Marineford and rang the Ox Bell.
"That guy! He should be resting!" Josh exclaimed in a scolding doctor-like tone and Cody nodded agreeing with him.
"What did the captain say?" Shachi asked Bepo.
"He just smirked and said it was interesting news. You know he always keeps his thoughts to himself." Bepo sighed and everyone nodded in agreement with a sigh of their own. Law was a mysterious guy who always had a plan, but rarely shared it with anyone else, even his crew. Even they didn't know what he was thinking most of the time and it seemed Law actually liked that.
Miyako smiled. "But I'm glad he's ok."
"Who? The captain?" Bepo asked a bit stupidly, blinking in confusion.
"No, you dolt! She meant Straw Hat!" Josh said harshly, rolling his eyes at the bear.
"I'm sorry." Bepo returned to his depression again.
"Too sensitive!" Penguin and Shachi yelled and Bepo lowered his head even more, as If it was possible. "I'm so sorry."
Everyone else seemed annoyed but Miyako just laughed as the crew bickered on.
Just then the sub's siren went off and a loud voice was heard from the speaker. It was Sai from the control room. "We'll be reaching the island soon! Everyone get on your posts!" Everyone rushed to their places and prepared for emerging and docking.
The island's name was Windmill Hill and it was obvious why. There were many small villages, some on little hills some on small plains, but they all had windmills of every sizes and color around. There was only one big mounting that divided the island on the North side and South side, and they were currently on its South one. It looked like a peaceful island and the village they were currently in looked like a nice hospitable one.
Cody stretched and breathed a lungful of fresh air as he stood on the deck next to Miyako. "This looks like a nice place." Miyako nodded in agreement.
Josh appeared on her other side, stretching as well. "Maaan, finally. It was days since the last island. It's good to feel solid ground under my feet once again." He grinned.
Miyako eyed him. "Solid ground? What kind of a pirate are you?" She asked with a smirk.
"Hey, I'm still a human not a fish! I don't mind sailing but some ground is a good change once in a while." He answered with a shrug.
Suddenly Miyako noticed a bunch of girls crowded at the docks, screaming and waving at them. Miyako blinked in confusion. "I didn't know they liked pirates so much."
The crew didn't hear her though as they were too busy waving back at the girls with blushes on their faces and awe in their eyes. Law walked over to the railing of their vessel and leaned on it with his elbows, looking at the girls in interest. Miyako wondered what he was looking at but just as she noticed, Bepo exclaimed as he also saw it, "Hey isn't that our Jolly Roger in their hands!" And really, two girls had a big Heart pirates Jolly Roger sign drawn on a big piece of white cloth.
"Why?" Miyako blinked, not getting what they meant by it.
"They look like some kind of fan club!" Penguin said and that made the crew even happier as they ravished in the idea of a bunch of girls adoring them.
Then they heard one of the girls scream as she yelled: "Oh my! It's Trafalgar Law! He's right there!" The girl pointed at Law and soon the girls' screams got even louder. The crew seemed to fall in some sort of depression.
"We should have known…."
"The one they want is Captain."
"Why does he always get the girls..?"
"Lucky guy."
Law only smirked but didn't seem interested in his fans. "Let's go men! We need to resupply, after that you're free!" The crew cheered and went into the village to get all the supplies. Some of the men from the crew tried talking to the fan girls still screaming at the docks but as expected, it didn't get much of a positive reaction. Obviously they were only interested in their handsome captain. Though it seems they took a liking to Bepo as well.
"Damn Lucky bear…How does he always do that with girls?" Penguin cursed seeing Bepo being hugged and cuddled though he didn't seem to enjoy it much. He was probably disappointed there weren't any female bears instead.
Shachi nodded, agreeing with Penguin, as he watched the scene too. "I'm jealous."
Miyako ignored the love struck crew and decided to walk around the village. They seemed welcoming and nice, which Miyako still found odd, but she noticed the rest of the crew didn't thought much about it. They just seemed glad. She wondered if Law found it strange or suspicious like she did, but she couldn't tell by his expression.
They found out it took about 12 hours for the log pose to set so the crew decided to stay on the little island overnight. Fortunately, the island taverns were hospitable just like the islanders, for the right price of course. The Heart pirates didn't have money issues at the moment so they could afford the luxury of partying and even renting rooms.
"I can't wait to sleep on a real bed tonight!" Cody exclaimed and took a big sip of whatever he was drinking. Whatever it was, it gave him a slight redness on the cheeks, his face obviously hot from alcohol.
"I'll drink to that!" Another crewmember, Miyako remembered as Sam, waved his large mug in the air and then to his mouth.
The music was loud, everyone were cheerful, both the locals and the pirates, as they all danced with the local girls. It looked like a perfect little town for relaxing your nerves. Miyako didn't really like all the noise but knew there was no way she could go and fall asleep upstairs with all this ruckus in the tavern. She was sipping something non-alcoholic. It was something her master always said; Alcohol makes you relaxed and careless, an easy target for your enemy. She was always expected to stay sharp. Even in her sleep. She was an incredibly light sleeper and she would wake up at the slightest sound, ready to counter the enemy or avoid a sneak attack coming her way. She still remembered his exact words when she once told him about a dream she had, yet his only response was; "If you sleep that deep to dream, one night you will awake with a sword in your gut." Not the nicest way to put it, but she could understand where he was coming from.
She looked around the inn to see her captain sitting there, sipping his drink quietly. He didn't seem to mind the party but he wasn't acting like the rest of these goons. He was still sharp and watched for any wrong moves by the locals. Obviously Miyako was right; he found the overly welcome atmosphere suspicious as well. One of the local girls that was in his fan group earlier got the nerve to come up to him, while others were just giggling at the side, still too afraid to actually approach their idol. The girl was quite pretty, though showed way too much skin for such a young age. She was Miyako's age, but for Miyako's upbringing that was considered too revealing. She was being flirty with the captain and tried to talk to him but he didn't show much interest. Miyako had to commend the girl's determination since she wouldn't give up. Law seemed a bit annoyed after a while, though he tried to hide it since he didn't want any problems with the locals.
The samurai was pondering should she save her captain or not, but she rather enjoyed his rising annoyance. After all, she was still mad at him for postponing the departure to the New World. After about 20 minutes Law looked like he was barely controlling himself not to dissect the poor girl as she was almost sitting in his lap, tugging on his hoodie and hand to go dance with her which he kept refusing. Miyako finally sighed and stood up with a small amused smile. He might be a scary pirate captain known for his cruelty, but obviously that didn't help him one bit in this situation. Miyako walked over to them.
"Captain I want to talk to you about the next route after this island. We have two options what the log pose can set on. But one island is completely unknown and the other is Robber town, but the route there is much more dangerous. So I was wondering-" Miyako kept talking with Law for a while and the girl tried to keep up but was bored senseless. She tried to get into the conversation, but failed every time and sometimes Miyako would deliberately use "hard words" which the girl didn't seem to understand. So after a while the girl gave up with an annoyed sigh and stomped off.
As soon as the girl was far enough, Miyako stopped talking and grinned at Law. "You owe me one."
Law smirked. "I appreciate it." He motioned towards one of the open seats next to him. Miyako smirked knowing he just wanted her close in case the girl decided to return. The "fan girls" were still lurking not far away giving death glares to the samurai woman. *If looks could kill,* she thought with a sweat-drop. She didn't even have to turn around to feel the deadly glares on her.
"So I can't be the only one who thinks something's strange around here," Miyako started while looking at the dance floor. She waved back to Cody who waved at her while twirling a girl on the dance floor. She was surprised to see he knew the dance moves quite well.
"No, you're not the only one." Law simply stated, a more serious expression on his face now. However, his expression changed into a smirking one. "We'll just have to wait and see." He was amused for some reason.
So it beguines. :) Nothing much to say really, you'll see it/read it all. At least Miyako and Law seem to get along well lately.
Anyways, stay tuned for more chapters, they'll be coming soon. See ya!
Oh, and feel free to review and tell me what you think of it so far.
