Chapter 3-Interview
As they stood there staring at her, she started to get nervous from being watched by all of the eyes. She wasn't used to all this attention, since she had been so alone for a long time. They all introduced themsleves to her, and she had already been introduced, so she just stood there awkwardly. Finally, the one named Zoro offered her a seat beside him. She didn't understand why he looked so mean, but was acting so nice. It was really quite odd. The one called Sanji offered her some breakfast, which she took. To her amazement, it wasn't cold cereal, but was instead a nice plate of eggs and bacon and waffles. She gobbled it up almost as fast as Luffy ate everyone else's food. They all stared at her in amazement.
"have you not eaten in a while?" asked Sanji, concered. She had just realized that he was staring down at her, watching her eat his food. She looked up at him, face full of food and swallowed.
"no, it's not that, it's just I haven't had this good of food in a very long time! It's delicious, thank you!" she replied. Then she anime-sweatdropped as the blonde cook ran around in a sort of noodle dance saying shiawase, and mellorine. She turned back to her food, and saw out of the corner of her eye, that Zoro was watching her. She started to get nervous under his gaze, and turned to look at him.
"Can I help you?" she asked sarcastically. Zoro just turned away, not wanting to show how nervous he was at sitting right by her. She just shrugged it off as him bieng the rude kind of person that he looked like, and went on eating the delicous meal that had been placed in front of her. Later on that day, she had been asked to come out of the crow's nest where she had been hiding from them all, and had climbed down the mast to find that all of them were standing in the middle of the open, watching her again. She tried to shrink down and become invisible so they couldn't see her, but it didn't work. She didn't expect it to, but she was still dissappointed.
"so, do you want to start your interview?" asked the long-nosed one who had named himself as Usopp. They were all still staring at her, making her even more nervous. She didn't know how to reply to that, so she sat there almost quivering with nervousness in front of the crew.
"uh… sure." She replied, and Luffy jumped up and started whooping. She just looked at him with a funny expression on her face, not knowing what was going on. She wanted to ask, but all of a sudden she was pushed into a chair and facing Robin. Robin then started asking questions, which she answered to the best of her ability, and at the end Robin went off to tell the others. De-Ji was left alone again, and she sighed in relief. After about 15 minutes, she started to feel that something very serious was taking place, not knowing that the whole crew was disscussing whether she should join their crew or not. Then finally, she saw Chopper, the small animal she had seen before, and walk up to her to congratulate her.
"what was the congratulations for?" she asked curiously. When Chopper told her that she could join their crew if she wanted to, she suddenly smiled for the first time and jumped up happily. She ran off to hug all of the others as Chopper just stood there, him confused this time. He was confused because she hadn't wanted to go back to her ignorant family. They barely paid attention to her, unless she didn't want it, and was then stuck in some bad situations. When she had got to the room they were talking to each other in, she ran up to them, and hugged them.
