Chapter 3

Nightmares

Tori sighed. Today had been a tiring. She had found the 300 million beli and his navigator who was worth 16 thousand belIi. She wondered if the Marines had found their crewmates. 'No point wondering now. I'll just drop by the Marine ship tomorrow and see what's going on.' Tori thought. Tori had just finished giving Nami a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt and was already lying down in bed with her hands behind her back. Tori smirked to herself. The looks on Luffy and Nami's faces were priceless when she told them they would be sharing the same bed. It was one of the funniest things she had seen in a long time.

Tori's smirk only grew. She could have offered one of them to sleep on the coach but…. That didn't seem like much fun for herself. Tori was slightly worried that she might have to burn the bed in the morning incase the two decided to get close. Tori dismissed the thought because they had both denied being together early on but that didn't mean they denied their attraction towards each other. Of course Tori knew she was probably getting a head of herself. They were friends, crewmates. Tori knew very well that relationships between crewmates was never good because if they decided to break up then things could get awkward on the ship or they would refuse to be near each other which made it hard on the crew.

Just because Tori admitted this it didn't mean that it would be impossible for the two to be together. Though it would be a very difficult and rare. To be with each other on board a ship they would have to seek the permission of their crewmates and as a lot of people know finding your true love is rare. Unlike in fairy tales where the hero rescues his damsel from the evil tyrant that controls her and at the end of the story they proclaim their true love towards each other and are sailing towards the sunset with a 'happily ever after'. Life isn't like that. Life is reality. For Tori there was no happy ending, only tsunamis of pain and twisters of sadness. If you were lucky you would never be caught in these storms of tragedies but in this day and age, hearts sunk into the deepest depths of the ocean almost every hour. If you thought about, all over the world people were crying. Some, at death of loved one or at sight of seeing friends and family members being taken off to some foreign land to fight for something they don't understand. For Tori and many other people this was reality.

Tori shook her head. She should be trying to get to sleep and not be thinking about the past. Unfortunately for Tori all she could do when she finally closed eyes was drift back to the past.

Tori's dream/nightmare

"So what do we do with them?" A man in a white navy coat asked a man who was also in a identical coat except with all the badges adorned on his coat made him look like an admiral. The admiral heaved a heavy sigh. He looked at the two children. They were sisters. One girl had frown on her face as she continued to stare at him and the man he was conversing with. They were orphans. Last night some pirates stopped by their town. The navy that was stationed there immediately took action. The navy attacked the pirates as soon as they stepped foot in the town. The residents had retreated to the nearby hills, except for a few residents that had no idea what was going on outside. The navy soon realized they stood no chance against the pirates. The navy decided that they wouldn't let the pirates escape. So the navy did the last thing they could do. Sacrifice themselves.

So while the other soldiers held the pirates off, a few soldiers planted a huge bomb that would blow up the entire town along with everyone in it. The crowd on hills watched in awe of the giant tower of fire that had replaced their homes. In that crowd were three little girls. Two of them sisters and one a friend. They were all holding hands. The parents of the sister's friends stood behind them. The woman whispered to her husband "Where are Tori's and Koishii's parents?" The man eyes widen. He whispered back to his wife. "Last I saw them was in their basement.. You don't think…?" The woman cried silently.

The admiral then shook his head of the past. What's done is done. "I guess they could stay at the head quarters until we find them a suitable home." The officer eyes widen in surprise at his admirals response. "Children? At the head quarters?" The man said as if he could not believe it. 'Children' and 'Marine Headquarters' were not supposed to be in the same sentence. Ever! The admiral nodded. The two stared back at the children. The girl that was frowning was still frowning. Her eyes glared at the Marine soldiers before her. She had long black hair and bangs that stopped just at the tip of her nose. She was twelve years old. Another girl with short blond hair and no bangs clutched onto the twelve years old pants. Unlike her older sister, her eyes were filled with fear. She was ten years old. No one their age should have to lose their parents but the world has a cold heart, the admiral thought.

The two sisters ran through the halls of the navy base. They were laughing, having temporarily forgotten their why they were even in a navy base. The black haired girl ran away from her little sister who was trying to 'tag' her. Suddenly the little blond girl stopped running and began to cough and wheeze. Immediately the black haired girl stopped and ran to her sister.

"Take deep breaths" The older advised the younger. The blond girl's coughing fit ceased after a few minutes. The two girls notice they were standing outside a conference room. Inside were a bunch of generals discussing battle plans. To Tori, they were just a bunch of old men discussing ways to destroy the world. The door to the room was open just enough to allow the two sisters to peer inside. Inside were some generals looking at a map that was laid across a giant table. On it were what looked to be some toy figurines. One side representing the Marines and the other pirates.

"We use half of the army as a distraction and while that half is fighting the pirates the other half will invade their camp and destroy everything." One man with a long beard said. Tori sniggered at this man's plan. She knew a much better plan after two minutes of listening. After hanging around the base a while she had picked up few things. Like how to invade other countries, how to plan a successful raiding mission and how to plan attacks on land or sea. In short, Tori was a master strategist at age thirteen.

Koishii told Tori to shush incase they were discovered. Another general spoke up. He had a short white hair and no beard. He said "Won't we be sacrificing half the army then?" Tori rolled her eyes then thought 'No duh!'. Instantaneously everyone in that room stared at the door, at Tori and Koishii. Koishii slapped her head. Tori sweat dropped and asked "Did I say that out loud?". Everyone nodded. Tori and Koishii stood up. Tori then said "We'll be leaving now." Tori then began to turn her back when a voice stopped her.

"I thought I heard sniggering before. It was you! Alright do you have a better plan." The man with the black beard yelled at Tori. Tori found her anger flaring but she kept her cool, at least on the outside. "As matter of fact I do." Tori said rudely to the general and walked up to the table.

"Tori! Apologise!" Koishii whispered fiercely to her older sister. "What? I'm only doing what the man asked." Tori replied back. Her sister still pestered her but she ignored it. Tori began silently rearranging the figures on the table. The generals studied the girl in amazement. She had just talked back to one of the fiercest generals in the base.

When Tori finished organizing the figures, the generals awe was transferred to the board.

The navy figurines were in a shape of V. The pirate side was inside the V. Tori then explained. "After the pirates are inside the V we will close them in." Tori demonstrated by moving some of the figurines. Now the navy was forming and O around the pirates. The generals stood speechless. How could a thirteen year old girl make up a brilliant strategy that they couldn't? Tori then said. "Incase there are any more pirates at their base send about six soldiers and have them plant bombs here, here, here, here, here, and here." Tori said as she pointed to all the 'heres' on the map.

The generals found this a great plan and had no objections. The black bearded general even muttered that it was a good plan. So the generals went with the plan. After Tori and Koishii were in their room, the generals got together once more. Except not to discuss battle plans but a girl.

"There's no way she'll agree!" Roared a general. "What if we bribe her?" Suggest another. The generals were quiet. Then someone asked. "With what?" The general who had given the idea of bribing her answered. "Her sister. Her sister is going die in two years because she has Leukemia. We'll offer a job as a general and tell her she can use her wage to pay for her sisters surgery. She won't stay with us forever but at least we'll have her for a while." Everyone agreed that was the best course of action. It was decided they would bribe her. On the way out two general's walked together one asked.

"I thought there wasn't a cure for Leukemia."

The other answered.

"There isn't."

Luffy's Dream

0 0 0 0 0

Luffy found him self in a familiar place. Luffy was in a room. A room filled with meat. Lots of meat. In fact you couldn't even see the walls because there was so much meat. Luffy decided he didn't want to be stuck in this room. So he did only thing that would get rid of the meat and show him a door. Luffy happily began stuffing his mouth with meat. Luffy eventually found the door after about what seemed like hours but Luffy could not walk over to the door. He had eaten to much making his stomach blow out which made it insanely hard to walk. Luffy gave up trying to reach the door and decided to have a nap. Even if Luffy had made to the door he wouldn't have fit through it.

Luffy woke up (he is still in his dream). He looked down at his stomach seeing that it had turned back to its normal size, got up and walked out the door. Luffy reached another familiar place.

The beach. Usually in these dreams Luffy would sit down and enjoy the sea breeze while watching the seagulls soar above him. His dreams were usually about his two favorite things, the sea and meat. Except there was problem. Someone was sitting on the beach and they were wearing his hat.

Luffy's hands shot up to his head. His hands felt hair. Hair not straw. He was sure he was wearing it when he was in that room. Luffy walked closer to the person. The person was sitting on the sand with legs stretched out in front of them and their hands behind them supporting their back.

Luffy stopped moving forward. He lost his breath for a moment as he stared at a tattoo of windmill and a tangerine on this persons arm. He walked forward a few steps and called a name. "Nami?" The persons head turned around. It was Nami. In a green bikini. Luffy's breath hitched as he gazed at Nami's body. Nami eyes sparkled at the sight of Luffy and on her face was a serene smile.

"Hey, Luffy."

Nami's Dream

Run, run, jump. That was the routine for the fourteen year old thief as she ran across the rooftops. She would sprint across a rooftop then jump to reach another rooftop. The red headed girl had just got a back from a fancy party. Needless to say she had gotten a giant bag filled of stolen goods. The party was a fancy ball for some guys party. It was held a few mansions. The mansion was still quiet close to where Nami was. She need to get away fast incase they soon realized that they had just been robbed.

Nami stopped a took a break. She looked over the edge of the roof. She could see the Marines talking to the mansion's owners. Nami sighed. She would have to hide out on this rooftop till they left the street below incase they saw her jumping from roof to roof. Then she saw someone shout "There!" and pointed in her direction. For minute she panicked thinking they had found her. Until she turned around.

There was someone jumping onto the rooftop. The figure was in a black coat. Making it impossible to identify them. The Marines began shooting at the figure. Bullets whizzed past the person. Nami kneeled there in shock. The figure was coming closer to her. Then suddenly the person fell over. Their arm was bleeding. Nami figured they had been shot. Nami not thinking rushed over to the person. Nami saw his face it was a boy with brown hair. Nami ripped off the piece of cloak that was covering his bleeding arm. Nami grimaced at his arm. She could see the bullet. The bullet's but was tipping just out of the wound. Nami decided she would have to pull out the bullet then put pressure to the wound. So Nami carefully pinched the bullets but quickly pulled it out. The man screamed in pain but it was for the best.

Nami ripped another piece of his cloak and tied it tightly around the mans arm where the wound was. The man clenched his teeth in pain. The Marines had stopped shooting and were trying to get onto the rooftop. The man stood up. He seethed in pain but still got up. Nami stood up with him holding on to his un-injured arm incase he needed support. The man then spoke.

"Thank you but I should get going and by the looks of it you should to." Nami tried to speak to the man but he cut her off. "If you ever need anything, look for this symbol on someone and tell them Dave owes you one." The man then pulled up his cloaks sleeve and revealed a tattoo around his wrist. It was the outline of a crown. The man then ran off the roof, into an alley and disappeared. The marines had finally found the ladder leading up to the roof. Nami then jumped onto a ledge just below the roof railing. It wasn't exactly a safe spot but it would keep her hidden from the Marines eyes.

Nami heard a gruff voice speaking. "It was the Shadow Cult." Another voice spoke up. "The Shadow Cult, sir?" The voice was very timid. The gruff voice then spoke once more. "The Shadow Cult is a secret organization that is against the government. They steal what ever is needed to take down the government. Some even say that they work undercover as soldiers but that's just rubbish. Everyone in the Shadow Cult has a tattoo of a crown around their wrist usually. Very few people know about their existence. They stole some battle plans from Sergeant Well's mansion who was having party for his sons birthday." Nami heard someone gulp. She guessed it was the timid voiced man. The timid man spoke up "Are they dangerous?" The rough voice then spoke up once more. "Most of them are just thieves but some of them are very dangerous. Ranging from weapon masters to martial artists. Soldier you better get back in line now." The two voices immediately disappeared and Nami heard the echoing of shoes hitting the pavement.

End of Nami's dream

Nami woke up with a start. She was panting. Nami laid back down. She lifted her wrist into her view and looked at it. She was almost expecting the tattoo of a crown there. Nami sighed and thought 'I'm of them cause I saved his life?'. Nami wrist then went back down to her side. Nami turned her head and looked at the captain sleeping beside her. She sat back up, letting her back rest against the head board. For some reason Nami found her hands reaching for the captains hair. Even more surprising she found herself playing with his hair. She twirled a piece of his bangs in her hands. Then she heard him mumbling to himself.

"Nami we shouldn't do that. What would the others think?" Luffy sort of giggled in his sleep. Nami's eyes narrowed. 'What is he dreaming about?' She wondered. Nami took a closer look at her captains face. There was the faint hint of red sprayed across his cheeks. Once again the captain giggled. Nami's vein popped on her forehead. She raised her fist and thought 'I Already have Sanji deal with! Not Luffy too!'. Although Nami was mad that Luffy was having 'dreams' about her, though she couldn't help but feel slightly happy that he was dreaming about her. Nami was just about to punch Luffy in the head when he woke up laughing.

Through his laughs she could hear Luffy saying this "Stop tickling me Nami!". Nami was now confused, wasn't he just dreaming about him and her having s-

"Hey Nami!" Luffy practically shouted at Nami, it seemed like he had just eaten ten pounds of sugar. Luffy stared at Nami's confused face. Now Luffy was confused. "What's wrong Nami?" Luffy asked.

"Weren't you…just….Never mind." Nami said as she shook her head. Nami swung her legs around to the edge of bed. She got up and was about to leave when she saw Luffy staring at her. Nami peered out the door, there was no sign of Tori. 'She must still be asleep.' Nami thought. She then asked "uhh Luffy, Tori isn't up yet so do you want me to make breakfast." Luffy grinned and shook his head rapidly. Nami smiled. Nami went into the kitchen and began pulling things out of the fridge.

"Oh Luffy can you look for some pans….." Nami faced Luffy finding he had no shirt on. Nami felt her cheeks warming up. She began looking down at the floor to hide her blush. "Okay!" Luffy replied. Nami then mumbled to Luffy "Can you put a shirt on to?" Luffy said yes even though he was confused to why he had to.
