Chapter 03

Shed Light To Darkness | Cuppos Pidos

The toddler-sized creature, with a fuzzy pink hat watched as the tangerine headed woman, whom was still in a kneeling position on the road, bowed her head.

He was observing her for quite some time.

'What is she doing?'

'Why did she just do that?'

Chopper narrowed his eyes at Nami.

'I can't believe she just waltz right in front of Luffy like that, after everything that had happened.'

He adjusted his body in his hiding spot to have a better view of the navigator, unluckily for him habits die hard, because even after people repeatedly reminded him of his erroneous way to hide himself. He still managed to forget to hide his body, and just let half side of his face show, which is the exact opposite of what he is doing right now.

The little reindeer sadden at the thought of his captain.

'Luffy…'

'Th-that liar… He promised that we'll travel the world together… Th-that we'll always be nakama-' Chopper felt tears poured out of his eyes.

As a doctor, he felt frustrated with himself, no matter how hard he tried to think of a solution, he can't find the cure to the disease that had spread and overshadowed the Mugiwara Captain's previous self.

'I don't know what to do... Luffy's change ever since his brother's death...'

He himself knew the pain his captain had gone through, although the time he was together with Dr. Hiluluk couldn't compare to the time Luffy was together with his brother, the reindeer assumed the pain must have been harsher to Luffy.

The ship doctor's body trembled, tears of misery and longing flowed down his cheeks.

'I-I wish everyone was here, so we could all bring Luffy back to his old self... but... its been years since I've seen the crew... What happened to them? Why… why did things turned out like-'

"CHOPPER!"

'Wah!' Chopper was startled by the scream.

He looked up to see Nami eying him, her almond eyes gleaming dangerously.

"Tell me! What the hell's going on here? Why are you two acting like this?"

'I'm so angry with both of them! After what happened in Saboady, I at least expected them to be happy to see me, and yet, these two boys acted like total jerks!' She seethed in anger.

Nami stalked towards him, like a cat stalking its prey, and in this case, the prey turned out to be a little reindeer.

"Ugh!" He stepped backward, his animal instincts in alarm.

He could feel danger lurking near, which also meant that the danger was coming from an enraged navigator.

Chopper set his body to a dashing position.

Nami stopped her approach, after noticing his action.

"Chopper, don't you dare runaway!" She ordered, taking one step further.

But the doctor also took a step backward.

The navigator took another step forward, which prompted the doctor to back away with another step.

The processed was repeated once more, then twice and then thrice.

Nami's patience seemed to have run out as she jumped forward to tackle Chopper, luckily for the reindeer he dodged it easily, and using his two small hooves he started running away, as if his life depended on it.

"Waaahhhh!" This was the reindeer's cry of terror, as he fled the scene.

Nami got up from the ground, both her hand resting on each of her knee, she looked up just in time to see a brown little creature fleeing.

"Get back here!" She barked off desperately, just before making a dash to catch up to the little fellow.

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

The chased is on, how long will the four legged creature last?

Or will the hot tempered girl fail to catch her prey?

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

The navigator squinted her eyes to the fleeing figure ahead of her; she glanced around while she running, then turning to a path on the left side, she entered an alley,

Taking a detour in hopes to corner Chopper at the other end.

The furry little creature had transformed himself into his Walk Point (normal reindeer form), he glanced behind him, and realized his pursuer was gone.

Breaking into a stop, which caused him to dig his hooves to the ground in the process.

He turned around, wearily looking from left to right as he trudged backwards.

The reindeer abruptly bumped onto someone, snapping his head upward, the person from behind loomed over him.

Slender hands clinging on each side of her waist, Nami stared down at the horror stricken reindeer, dark auras were emitting from the girl.

Her pretty faced becoming more and more ominous with every passing moments.

"Where do you think you're going Cho~~pper?" She sing-song his name.

"Ugh!" Hearing his name spoken in that tone, he felt a shiver run through his body.

He saw her hands leave her waist, as it outstretched to grab him,

Chopper quickly snatched a Rumble Ball inside his pocket, putting the drug, which is similar to a small jawbreaker, in his mouth, he swallowed it.

"Jump Point!"

Once again evading being captured, the half-human like creature jump off to distance.

"Choppeeer!" He heard his female crew mate's distraught call.

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

Escaped Plan: Success!

Chopper Wins?

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

Crossing her arms across her chest, she watched her Nakama jumped off to different houses.

'He's that desperate to escaped that he used a Rumble Ball?'

She silently observed the direction her crew mate was going, before running to follow him.

'Fine, if that's how you want to play, then I too will play that game.' Nami chuckled to herself, a scheme forming in her clever mind.

'Enjoy your remaining three minutes Chopper, because it'll be your last.' She smirked.

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

Somewhere around town

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

Chopper had transformed back to his Walk Point and for the second time in the last half an hour, he felt a shiver passed through his spine.

'Waahh! This is bad, am I catching a cold? But I don't feel any symptoms for this deceased.'

Transforming to his Brain Point (usual Chopper appearance), he rubbed his hooves on his arms trying to warm himself; as he dash once more to distance.

The reindeer had run for a couple of minutes and was now panting from the mixture of exhaustion and fear.

'Hah… Hah… I accidentally used a Rumble Ball; it somehow slipped my mind how scary Nami can be.'

A sweat drop formed in his head at the thought of his Nakama.

Although the situation right now was more scarier and vicious than when Nami used to scold him, Usopp and Luffy back then, he still felt a tinge of sentiment.

His eyes grew as he realized he really miss his crew mates and their times together.

From the corner of his eye he saw Nami approached him but stop a few feet away from him.

He saw her beaming at him, he suddenly felt guilty from running away from her all this time.

'Maybe she came here to see me because she miss me to?' His eyes becoming wet from the tears that were yet to fall.

"Chopper" Nami gently called.

He looked up, his innocent big black eyes glow with little joy and hope in it .

Abruptly he saw the navigator wiped up a three knotted rope in front of her and unknot all three at once.

"Wah!" Feeling the gush of strong wind, he fell backward on the ground.

'What the hell just happened?' still lying on the ground he blinked, his vision trailing upward as he noticed a shadow hover over him.

Nami's beaming face was replaced by a sinister smile; the poor reindeer whose hoped and bit of happiness was now crushed, watched in horror as the demonic woman lifted her fist and started pounding him in the head.

"Ouch! Gya! Ow!" Now with multiple bumps in his head, the helpless reindeer cried.

'Waaahhh! I was wrong! I don't miss her! She really is a being from hell!' He sniffed as his tears continued to fall and a snot hanged out of his nose.

"Hmph! That's what you get from running away and making me chased you." The young woman pouted.

"Now…" She faced the still weeping Chopper.

"Can You Tell Me, What You And Luffy Are Sulking About?" She emphasized every word of her question.

"Hm? Sulking? Who the hell are you referring to b*tch!? I'm not sulking!" The reindeer shouted, earning him another hit in the head.

"Waahh! I'm sorry!" Chopper said bursting in another waterfall tears.

Nami sighed feeling drained, today has been an eventful afternoon.

It seems no matter what she does, it's not helping her find any clear answers.

Looking down on Chopper she sincerely said "Why don't we go back? We will talk once we have calm down and rested a bit."

Wether it was his instinct as a doctor or care for his Nakama, the reindeer stood up and walked beside Nami.

"What is it? Are you feeling tired?"

"You shouldn't be running around town when you just got better!" The doctor scolded his patient.

He transformed into his Heavy Point (Human Form) as he guided Nami to their temporary home.

The young girl smiled warmly 'Now this is the Chopper I know.'

The anxiety she felt when their captain left her slowly diminished, she feels that at this moment, she has finally gotten back one of the Straw Hats family member.

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

Yield a little Light to the Dark

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

After getting back to the house, Yuja scolded her for disappearing for hours.

It was night time now and they had just finish eating dinner with Yuja (who invited them) inside her home.

An hour had passed before they bid their goodnight to Yuja and got back to the house their currently staying at.

Nami sat on the chair and rested her elbows on the table as Chopper (now in his Brain Point form) closed the front door of the house.

"Now that we have relaxed and ate..." Nami began,

"Can you tell me why you and Luffy are acting funny?" She asked quietly.

"Since we are staying here then I guess... the others are not on this island." She sadly continued, she now know that her merry thoughts a while ago when she met up with Luffy were all just a blissful dream.

The reindeer remained quite as he looked at Nami.

"Chopper, why is Luffy together with Buggy's crew? I even heard them say that he was traveling with them…" She stared at Chopper, hoping for some answers.

Chopper gazed at her in confusion,

'Why is she asking all these questions? Haven't she heard what Luffy had done?'

'I know Nami's not the type to be ignorant in the current events of the world.'

"Chopper?"

The little reindeer glanced sideways as he answered her question,

"Luffy...he... he's nakama with them now… together with other group of pirates."

'What?' Nami stared at him, not able to believe what he just said.

"Buggy and Luffy are nakama? What are you saying? We are his nakama." She reminded him as if he forgot that simple fact.

Chopper suddenly snapped "Well not anymore! Luffy's goal changed ever since that happened! Besides why are you the one acting antagonized when you haven't shown up for two years!"

She gasped, surprised by Chopper's outburst and accusation,

"Cho-Chopper ho-hold on, none of what you're saying is making sense. What do you mean by two years!? We just saw each other less than a month ago before we all split up."

Chopper looked at her as if she had gone crazy,

"Less than a month? As far as I'm concerned I haven't seen any of you for the last ten months!" The reindeer retorted, referring to the entire crew.

Nami looked back at him as if he had grown another pair of antlers,

"Chopper, have you hit your head recently!? We were at Saboady Archipelago more than three weeks ago, just before that huge paw guy used some trick to send us flying all over the place!"

It was Chopper's turn to gasped,

'What is she talking about? Did she went through memory loss when she fell down the sky!?'

"Nami are you okay? Is your head hurting? Maybe you should lie down for a while." The reindeer worriedly told her.

The navigator closed her eyes, she could feel her patience thinning, she took a deep breath to calm herself.

She knew right now that violence or threats wouldn't help in shedding light to her predicament.

"Don't worry Chopper I'm fine, I just want to understand the situation." She smiled a little to her nakama.

"I don't understand why you're saying I disappeared for two years when I know I've only been gone for more than two weeks."

'Add in the time I've been asleep here to make it more than three weeks.'

She took another deep breath as she continued,

"I tried my best to get back to Blue Sea immediately because I knew our crew won't be able to sail to the New World without a navigator."

The reindeer stared at her in wonderment for a few minutes then his eyes widen as he realized that Nami was being truthful to him.

'I didn't see any signs of serious injury on her head yet why is she showing signs of amnesia?'

"Nami, did you say that the last thing you remembered was us nine staying at Saboady Archipelago? And that was supposed to be last month?"

The doctor walked up to her and jump on top of the table as he touched her forehead, looking for any possible damaged he missed.

Nami blinked, looking at Chopper for a few minutes before she realized what he was thinking.

Standing up, she hit him once again in the head, baring her suddenly sharp white teeth,

"I didn't lose my memory Chopper! I know what I'm talking about!"

"Can you just explain to me your side of the story?"

She had enough of this unending chain of misunderstanding.

"Start from the time you were sent flying by the paw guy and no side tracking! Just tell me the important parts." She warned.

"Eh?" Chopper stepped back as he rubbed the bump on his head, feeling scared of Nami, he sat down on the table and told his story, cutting off some parts that he thought the navigator would find unnecessary.

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

Chopper's Adventure

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

"I was sent flying in an Island called Torino Kingdom which was inhabited by gigantic birds, it was an isle in South Blue."

He shivered as he remember how he spent days trying to escaped the overweight people of the island.

'What? Really? Chopper was sent flying to South Blue? How did he managed to come back here in Grand Line so easily?' Nami stared in amazement at the blue nose reindeer, thinking that he came from South Blue to Grand Line within a period of three weeks.

"I spend weeks trapped in the island before I was finally able to get off it by befriending one of the birds. He let me ride his back as we flew together to another island."

Nami listened to Chopper, astounded at how he befriended another animal in each island who help him get across all over South Blue. She was even proud of Chopper for being brave to ride a whale in the ocean surface. But the most outstanding thing he told her was that he met this particular Sea King which helped him ride across Calm Belt towards Grand Line.

'Chopper you're amazing, rather than passing through Reverse Mountain like normal people you rode across Calm Belt on a Sea King to enter Grand Line' Nami glowed with pride for her nakama.

The doctor earned another level of respect from the navigator.

She continued to listen to the rest of Chopper's story but there was this one thing she found puzzling and hard to believe in his tale.

And that is, it took him five months to return to Grand Line.

Another two months to return to Saboady Archipelago in which when he arrived he found no one waiting for him.

"I felt sad when I arrived there and none of you had come back, so I waited with Thousand Sunny for weeks hoping sooner or later someone is bound to arrive."

Chopper bow his head as sorrowful tears wet his eyes.

"Hachi, Keimi and Pappug had already left, Ms. Shakky was the one who told me. As inhabitant of the sea their lives were in danger while they were inside that island so Ms. Shakky forced them to leave."

"Mr. Silvers Rayleigh too was gone, he left Sunny in the care of Ms. Shakky, she said he needed to finish up some business somewhere…"

She waited for Chopper to continue but the little fellow seemed to have stop speaking as he mull over the past.

Nami didn't interrupt him as her mind too began to ponder over what she had heard from Chopper.

She sat still on the chair feeling more and more frightened as it dawned to her that what she was hearing might be the reality.

'Chopper looked serious; it feels like what his saying is the truth but I also know the truth! And that is it hasn't been a month or even more a year since we all got separated.'

'Just what the hell is happening?!?'

She stood up and intently looked at the little fellow sitting atop the table.

"Chopper?"

Startled by her call, the reindeer looked back at her.

"What is the world's current time line right now?" She slowly asked.

Chopper looked at her confused "1524 The Great Age of the Pirate."

She gulped, suddenly remembering the date that she saw in the papers at Weatheria.

"Are you sure?"

Chopper stood up worriedly looking at her, "Yes Nami, are you alright? You're turning pale."

She sat back to the chair feeling nauseous.

"Nami!!" Chopper called off running towards her on the table.

'Wha? What! I know for sure that when we entered Grand Line and came to Saboady Archipelago it was 1522 AOP.'

She gripped her knees feeling a wave of anxiety within her.

She took a couple of deep breaths to calm herself sadly it wasn't working.

Her body began to tremble.

"Chopper, wa-water" she squeaked, having a hard time to breath and feeling her throat dry up.

The reindeer obliged, seeing his nakama's panic state.

Chopper handed her the glass of water and she gulped it down up to the last drop.

She felt her muscles relaxed a little.

Nami sighed tiredly and looked at Chopper with pleading eyes.

"Chopper please believe me when I tell you that for me, it really has been only less than month since we last saw each other." Chopper didn't know wether he was surprised by Nami's pleading statement or when he saw her eyes start to tear up.

"Na-Nami…" He was sure of one thing though, he was really starting to get worried for his nakama.

"I… I don't understand what's going on…"

Chopper gasped as he saw tears freely flowing from the young girl's eyes.

"Don't cry Nami! I believe you!" He frantically said, trying to comfort the girl.

She smiled a little at her friend's words.

"Chopper, I would like to hear the rest of your story."

Chopper looked at her in puzzlement then he slowly nods his head.

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

The Captain and the Doctor

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

"As I was saying I waited for a while but then I heard a rumor about Luffy..."

"...he was attacking marine ships and marine stations."

Nami was astonished by this news.

"Months have passed while I was waiting so I finally decided to travel and personally look for Luffy, since he was the easiest to track down with all the rumors or news about him."

"After quite a while I found him… ten months ago…" His expression saddened.

"When I saw him again I felt something had changed, he looked the same on the outside but the Luffy I knew was gone replaced by somebody else. He… he took interest in bringing down marines…" Chopper creased his forehead.

Nami's eyes widen in understanding,

'I can understand how you feel Chopper, when I saw Luffy he looked the same old captain we always knew but the next thing I know I felt like he was someone else...'

"I tried to changed his mind but he won't listen and... and..." Chopper's eyes began to tear up.

"...I didn't really like his new nakamas" He gulped remembering the faces of the prisoners that escaped Impel Down.

"But I needed to be brave for Luffy" His voiced carried a tone of determination in it.

"I decided to asked Luffy if I could join him on his quest and... then... Luffy got really mad and rejected me." He sniffed remembering the incident.

When the reindeer had asked if he could come with his captain; he wasn't sure if he imagined it but, he saw a flashed of fear in his captain's eyes before it was quickly replaced by an angered expression.

He yelled at Chopper and forced him away.

The doctor was hurt, shocked and angry at Luffy's actions that he immediately left and gone off to another island.

He later on regretted it and realized the grief his captain must be going through had forced him to act that way.

'I shouldn't not have left, Luffy needed his nakama.' Were the little reindeer's thoughts backed then.

The navigator watched as a series of expression played on Chopper's face; first it was sad then frightened then angry and right now it was regretful.

"Chopper?" She asked making the animal wearing a fuzzy pink hat looked at her.

"Do you know what had brought Luffy's changed?" Nami questioned.

"It was probably because of the tragic event that happened two years ago…" Chopper said thinking of a certain freckled young man.

Nami blinked at Chopper,

'Hm? Luffy was that devastated when we all got separated? After I disappeared I had no idea what happened next but probably more violence occurred.'

"I think I can understand that…" She said quietly.

Chopper nod his head as he knew Nami too have lost an important person in her life which was her adoptive mother.

He remembered after he had calmed down and arrived in the island he went when he left Luffy, he immediately ride on another boat to get back in the island his captain was staying.

This time determined to not leave Luffy's side even if the guy would get mad at him.

But the bastard manage to trick him and left him in the island.

'Finding that stupid asshole here in Akinai Toshi was a coincidence, but he probably left by now together with his new nakamas.'

The reindeer's eyes settled on Nami, he was shocked to see her after two years of absence.

"What about you? What happened to you?" Chopper sends an accusing glare her way.

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

Being Nakama's Once Again

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

Nami narrowed her eyes at his tone but told him her side of the story and the fact that she might have just jumped two years to the future.

"So you time traveled!" The reindeer was now looking at her with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Nami! You're amazing!" Chopper eagerly told her.

Nami giggled, 'leave it to innocent Chopper to easily believe stuff.'

She tried to push the gravity of her situation at the back of her mind because she knew breaking down and ended up being crazy would be off no help right now.

She decided she would deal with time skipping when the current problems they were facing was done.

It was past midnight and they both decided to sleep, although Chopper kept complimenting her on how awesome she is to be able to pull off a stunt like that.

'No wonder Usopp can't get enough of lying to Chopper, it feels good being admired like this.'

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

The Next Morning

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

The sun had risen when Nami woke up the following day, she heard Chopper moving around the house.

"Nami! You're up! How are you feeling?" The doctor asked as she walked out of her room.

She smiled at him,

"I feel fine Chopper."

She noticed that he seemed to be making a medicine.

"This medicine will help your wounds heal faster, after I make it we can go eat and then explore the town."

Nami beamed and nod her head.

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

In Some Other Place.

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

'ah… why the heck did this happen to a guy like me, luv'

A chubby midget man with Peru colored hair was floating in the sea.

He was wearing a sleeveless white collar shirt, and a big red ribbon was tied around his collar, with a heart shape crest pinned in the center.

The guy was also carrying a mini heart shape back pack, and two angel wings were sprouting on each side of his head.

The 3.5 feet man who was dress in a black children short and boots was riding a ferry ship, and partying onboard last night.

He awoke this morning, from the pecking of the beak of a seagull.

The midget man was very disoriented to find himself floating alone in the Blue Sea, good thing he was wearing water floats in each of his arm, to keep him above water.

'ah… how long do I have to stay here? luv'

'Will I die alone in this nasty place, luv?'

"Oiii! Man in the weird get up, what are you doing?"

The olive eyed man gasped at the sound of a person's voiced.

He looked over his shoulder to see three ships approaching him, the lad whom had called him wore a frown in his boyish face, his lips drawn in a thin line curving downward showing his puzzlement.

The wings on each side of his head perk up, as he took note of the scar beneath the lad's left eye.

"Ah… You! Help me, I've been drifting in the sea for hours, I thought it will be the end of me. *sigh* I'll be sure to repay you for saving my ass, luv." Came his rough, gruff voiced.

The lad examined him for a few moments, and without a word he outstretched his arm, grabbing the midget's red ribbon, he pulled the peculiar dress male towards the ship, dropping him in the deck.

'Ah… this person's a devil fruit user too.'

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

The Pirate Ship Black Orca

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

"Thanks lad I owe you one, luv"

The man with the power of rubber laugh, "No problem."

"Now about this repayment you were talking about?" A man with blue hair and makeup on his face hover over the midget man while rubbing his hands in a gleeful manner.

"You really have no shame; Luffy did all the work while you just stood there and now you want to be repaid?" A beautiful tall woman with ebony straight hair stood in between the man who rescued him and the man in white and red stripe shirt.

"Ah… So your name is Luffy? luv" The man with a physique of an eight year old boy but a face of a 50 year old (actually 53) guy asked.

"ee!" The youngster smiled and nods his head,

"And this is Hancock and Buggy." pointing to the two people beside him.

Then Luffy faced the rest of the crew introducing each one of them.

The man let out a throaty laugh, "Glad to meet you all! luv"

"How about you sir? What is your name?" A fishman with the name of Jinbei approach him.

"Ah… as for me… Ahem! I'm Cuppos Pidos but most people call me Cupido for short, luv" The man stood proudly, holding on to the handles of his back pack on each side of his shoulder.

"Now that introductions are over, I will ask again how do plan to settle your dept? Do you carry a treasure map with you?" Buggy squatted beside him, his eyebrow moving up and down. The ship's crew (beside Luffy, Hancock and Jinbei) inched nearer eager to hear the answer.

"Treasure? Yeah! I carry it with me, it is one of the greatest treasures of the world and since you people save my ass I will share it with you. luv"

Buggy and the crew's eye grew in delight; even Luffy leaned forward in anticipation.

Hancock raised one perfectly shape eyebrow, curiosity lit her eyes.

Jinbei cross his limbs over his chest, his eyes shown interest.

"I will give you... dan dan dan... the chance to experience love!" Cupido declared, it can be heard and seen from his voiced and faced that he was very serious in his statement.

"Eeehhhh???" Every human men's face in the ship crumpled either in confusion, disappointment, bewilderment.

In the end they all hang their heads low, a dark aura hovering behind them.

Jinbei shoulders slip down in surprised, Hancock eyed the man intently with a new found interest.

'What the hell?' The crew whose heads were bowing thought.

"Hey Luffy! Throw this weirdo back where he came from!" A man with a hairstyle of a figure of number three demanded.

"YEAH! Throw him back to the ocean!" The rest of the human men agreed.

"Ho-hold on there fellows, don't go making such rush decision, luv" The little man tried to calm down the enraged men, baffled as to why everyone wasn't jumping in joy to his announcement.

"Hey you! The words you have spoken, is it the truth?" Hancock spoke, trying to keep her voiced neutral.

'Can this dwarf really help me with my love sickness?' Hancock shyly glanced at Luffy.

Luffy looked at Galdino (Mr.3) then Cupido, his faced mark with an unreadable expression.

"Leave him, we'll drop him off at our next stop." his voiced was void of any emotion.

Cupido sighed in relief,

"Ah… thanks! Are you sure you don't want my payment?"

Luffy stared at him seriously,

"I'm not interested and if I ever will be I don't want anyone's help."

With that said he turned around and proceeded to the other side of the ship.

Cupido eyed the young man with a thoughtful look, 'Hmmm...'

'You're so manly Luffy' Hancock adoringly looked over the young man's back.

She turned towards Cupido; pointing her index finger, she positioned herself to look down on him causing her to look up to the sky.

"A creature like you will help us find love? Hmph! I as well don't need a pathetic fools help!" After insulting the small man, she walked off to Luffy's direction.

'ah... now that I've properly examined her... so that woman's…' Cupido stared intently at Hancock's retreating silhouette.

"Well this was a waste of time." Cabaji stated, also turning and walking away.

The rest of the crowd started to dispersed.

Mohji sighed, "You're lucky, at least that wife of his only look down on you rather than turning you to stone."

"Wife? You mean the lads married? luv" Capido questioned Mohji.

"Er… Um… no, but let's just say referring to her with that title is the magic key word to save yourself from petrifaction" Mohji laugh nervously, recalling the number of times he offended Hancock; one time just before he was once again turned into a statue he accidentally squeak the word in front of the woman, the gorgeous lady's rage quickly vanish to be replace by what looked like a blushing teenage girl.

"Mohji, didn't I told you to stop inflating that woman's ego?" A soft voiced interrupted the two.

Both the men turned to the new comer.

"Alvida-nee-san!" Mohji gulped.

"Luffy is a strong man, I will admit that Hancock is a capable fighter but she's too naive to understand a real man's desire" Alvida chuckled.

"Which is why she hasn't caught Luffy's interest even after a long time, only I am allowed to stand by his side." The woman wearing a cowboy hat smiled sweetly.

Some of the men was now looking at the three; eavesdropping on their conversation.

'But Lady Alvida, you also haven't caught Luffy's interest after more than a year of traveling with him', were the men's cynical thoughts.

Alvida sat on one of the couch on the deck,

"Now Mohji, if you don't want to be thrown overboard make sure you watch how you speak."

She beamed charmingly, resting her right cheek in the palm of her right hand.

"Ye-yes Alvida-nee-san!" Mohji saluted.

The pink heart shape back pack wearing man silently observe the whole scene,

'ah… such a waste, if they don't want my talent then it's not my loss, luv'

Cupido gazed on to Alvida 'So the woman bares an admiration of love for the lad and…'

his eyes shifted to Hancock 'this woman is currently experiencing her first young girls crush or most commonly known as first love sickness over a man, lastly'

moving his gaze to Luffy 'the main object of affection doesn't seem to notice nor care.'

Cupido continued to peer over Luffy's direction 'I know the lad has a big heart, he'll willingly give his love to anyone who obtained his trust.'

The small man sighed and shook his head, 'But he has yet to truly mature and open his eyes in another form of love. Oohh the irony! Because it's the type of love these women wants...'

'ah… this ship's entertaining than I first thought, maybe something will develop before I say my good bye here. luv'

'Through the years I've lived, I can bet my ass that passion can bloom anywhere unexpected, luv' Cupido snickered.

'Hahaha! Even that fellow Roger succumbed to that. Luv' the small man reminisced how the unsuspecting Pirate King's attention was caught by a young beauty, Portgas D. Rouge.

"ah… So? Where is this ship headed? Luv" Cupido looked around with a big knowing smile on his face.

Akinai Toshi (City of Trade)

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

The two Straw Hat members have finished eating breakfast and was now exploring the town for hours.

Chopper showed Nami the different shops located in the market place which had covered half of the town. She carried a smile on her face as she gazed at a garment shop then a machine store then a book store then an accessories store then a clothing store then a hardware shop then a gadget shop then an animal shop then a fruit stand that was beside a vegetable stand and the list of the variety of stores would go on.

She observed that the people coming in and out of the market place wore different sets of clothes, some wearing a fashion style she had never seen before.

'Wow, Yuja was being humble when she described this place.'

Nami saw that some people used money to pay for things they bought while others exchanged an item from the shop with an item they were carrying.

' So that's the reason they called this City of Trade, you can barter for goods you want to purchased rather than pay for it with money.'

As the two walked up to the path that is connected to the harbor, she took note of the shop stands lined up on each side of the road leading to the docks.

When they entered the harbor, from a distanced they saw a middle age man struggling to pull an azure colored six feet tall Tyrannosaurus towards the pier.

"Come now, it's okay, don't be scared." They heard the man cooing the creature.

As the man finish speaking the rope that was tied around the dinosaur's collar snap and the blue scaled creature run off in the direction of the city.

The Mysterious Man Wearing An Indigo Cloak

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

A man wearing a blue cloak walked on the road.

'Where the heck did they go? How could they leave me alone? Ugh! I think I'm catching one of those diseased again.'

The cloak man looked from left to right anxiously searching for his companions.

He suddenly heard a scream which startled him.

He turned to the direction of the voiced and saw a little girl running towards him with a six feet…

'Eehhh!!?? Dinosaur??' trailing after her.

The guy's first instinct was to run but something or someone inside him stops the cloak man from his track.

'What are you doing? Don't run! Save the little kid!' Came a deep voiced within his head.

'Ea-easy for you to say! That's a man eating reptile!!!' The cloak guy argued back to the voiced inside him.

'Don't be scared! You're the great warrior of the sea!'

'I'm aiming to become one! But right now I'm still an ordinary guy'

'Ah! You're right!'

'Hey! Don't agree with me!'

"Waaahhh!" The little girl's cry of terror snaps him back to the situation before him.

The blue scaled dinosaur was gaining on the small kid.

"Metallic Star!!!"

The Tyrannosaurus was stop on his track by a small lead ball that had hit him in the head.

The appearance of a Hero

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

Chopper run after the dinosaur when he saw it chased after a kid, leaving Nami with no choice but to follow him.

Catching up to the little reindeer she noticed his eyes sparkle as he looked on ahead.

The navigator also detected a very familiar song playing in the background.

On Sharpshooter Island

Where I was born

100 shots 100 hits

Lu lu la la lu

Even at a mouse's eye

Lock on!

Even at your heart

Lock on!

The guy from Sharpshooter Island

Lu lu lu lu lu la la

Better run away!

Sogege sogesoge

"Sogeking!!!" Chopper excitedly called, unknowingly saying the last phrase of the song.

He had a huge smile plastered on his face.

Nami's shoulder hunched forward, her mouth wide open as her eyes turned white.

She gaped at the masked man wearing a blue cloak with a very distinguish nose peeking out of his mask.

'Eeehhh!!!?? USOPP!!!'

Black Orca: I decided to give this name to the ship Luffy is currently sailing with, again you will discover the reason behind it's name later on unless you already know the meaning behind the name then you'll already have an idea what I'm talking about.

A/N: School has started in my country (add in a dozen home works) and I'm losing time to write this story even though the events in the next couple of chapter and ending is already drafted, the only thing that kept pushing me to write in the dead night (midnight) was the continues reviews and messages so really, thank you for the support XD Again please review ^^

I feel bad for bullying Chopper in this chapter but that's how I see this happening, I really miss Chopper, I wish the Straw Hats would finally get back together it has been too long (TT_TT)
