Chapter Seven
"Hey everyone, look at that!" exclaimed Luffy, jumping up and down with excitement.
"What is it?" asked Franky, with a little of an annoyed tone to his voice.
"Look! Look at all the shooting stars!!!!"
"Wow..." commented Chopper, staring up into the sky, amazed at the sight.
"What are you guys talking about?" asked Nami, scanning the sky. "There are no shorting sta-..." She just suddenly stopped her word. It was silent before she continued talking. "No... It can't be... It can't be the... black... the black moon..." she mumbled to herself; though at this moment, it didn't matter if anyone heard her, because she had a mesmerized stare up at the sky.
"Did you say something, Nami-san?" asked Sanji, thinking he heard her mumbled words.
"W-what? Oh, o-of course no. I didn't say anything." Her words were shaky, and sped up as she continued on. She had to deny it, unless she wanted a repeat of yesterday; but she felt that it couldn't be helped, that they would eventually find out and think her crazy, again. But she still kept it to herself, at least for the time being.
"Lying like Usopp won't get you anywhere," remarked Zoro.
There was an instantaneous reply from the liar, "Hey! What do you mean by-"
"I didn't say anything." She cut him off, to quickly defend herself.
"Okay then. Say what you want, but I heard you say "black moon" loud and clear."
Nami didn't know what to say to that, so she didn't respond. Instead, she finally made up her mind. She was going to tell them, even if they didn't believe her.
"There's a storm coming. A storm, large and storm enough to destroy this island."
"First it's imaginary pages, then it's black moons; and now it's island-destroying storms? Okay, I think you have officially lost it," commented Franky.
"Think about it and take a good look. Does it sound logical? Of course it doesn't!" said Usopp.
"Bu-but it's true..." she wanted. No, needed them to believe her.
"Are you sure you're okay?" asked Chopper, with full concern.
"Of course I'm fine!... It's just... oh nevermind..." she said, waling back downstairs, leaving everyone to gaze back at the stars, but with worry in their minds.
