…That night…
She looked up from her place outside on the dock. The stars were shinning perfectly on the small island. The moon was blushed with the luminous light of its own, capturing the many hearts like her own in the process, and probably like the many down in the square having the party of their lives. She stood up and leaned herself out onto the railing of the dock and smiled at herself and flipped her hair out of her face and though. I'm part of the crew now, I thought I was just here to be left. This is my new home. I have a family now and I thought this would never happen. She spun around laughed and tripped on the dock and fell on her backside and she kept laughing. She was meeting the crew at the square to celebrate her new coming. She got up and started to walk down the dock and saw the numerous ships and all of the party cruses. The music, was to herd from every where so clearly as if you were standing there by the players. She was walked up the small amount of steps and walked to the square. The music was even louder now and the thumping went straight to her heart.
She looked for Luffy, or Zoro. The laughs of Luffy were in the air and then a hand on her shoulder turned her around.
"Mizumi, so jumpy are we?" Franky smiled at her and she smiled back and he led her to were the crew was.
"Found her Mugiwara-san," Franky stood there and Luffy looked over with his cheeks filled to the brim with food. The crumbs fell from his mouth and fingers while he smiled and Sanji walked over to Mizumi and handed her a blue box.
"What's this," Mizumi looked up at him and he put his hand on her face.
"So innocent my dear," he stared at her with gazing eyes and she blushed.
"Just go change in there," he pointed to a bathroom and she walked through the door.
"What was that Sanji?" Robin looked up from chopper and smiled.
"Just a little something to make her more stunning then before," he spin around on his toes and had hearts in his eyes.
"Yosh! Lets have fun now!" Luffy stood up on the table and raised his glass and Zoro and the rest of the crew raised their glasses and cheered.
"So, Luffy with this new girl on the boat, she will be helping Nami with the logging?" Robin looked up at Luffy.
"Well, yeah! That is exactly what she will be doing." He jumped from one foot to the other and then fell of backwards onto Zoro.
"Luffy! Get off of me!" Zoro pushed Luffy from him and stood up to see the door opening and Mizumi stood there fixing her shoes and stood up straight and Zoro saw the blue highlights in her hair and he smiled slightly at her. She was absolutely glowing the blue dress. the dress was a night sky blue with another type of fabric on top of the silk and it had silver rime stones on it to make it look as if the night sky was alive on her dress. It had two finger width straps and it came up right below her collar bone. She still had on the white shoes and now had a black beret on her head and she walked toward the group.
"Mizumi, you look amazing!" Sanji came over to her and took her hand and kissed it.
"Thank you Sanji," she blushed and laughed.
"…Humph…" Zoro looked at her angina and came over to her and gave her a glass of champagne.
"Zoro," she touched his shoulder as he walked away . He turned around and looked at her. She didn't realize how tall he was until now.
"What do you want girl?" He looked down at her and she held her hands under chin.
"I'd just wanted to ask you to dance,"
"Why wont you ask me dear!" Sanji came up behind him
"No, I can't dance," Zoro pushed Sanji out of the way and Mizumi looked down and Luffy came up to her and grabbed her shoulders, "I'll dance with you, I might step on your toes but it will be fun right?" he smiled at her. He wore a black short shelved shirt that buttoned up but her life a few un buttoned with dark knee shorts that he always wore with sandals. His straw hat was tired around his neck and hung down on his back.
"Really, you'll dance with me?" she looked up and he smiled at her.
"Yosh! Come on this is a good song!" he pulled her into the crowd and he took her hangs and they did a form of dancing that shouldn't even be called dancing. He spun her around and laughed. They seemed so happy and energetic. But the beat slowed down and Luffy looked over to the players and then realized Mizumis head was on his chest and her hand entangled with his left hand and her other on his shoulder. He put one hand around her waist and the rocked back and forth.
"You're a good dancer Luffy," she said softly and laughed.
"You too Mizumi," he remembered what Sanji had done once before and spun her out and spun her in and she tripped.
"Careful," he rapped his arms around her and she stood up and blushed and they continued to dance. She looked up at him and his eyes were closed. She smiled and then he spun her out again and she felt his hand torn from hers and she yelled his name over and over and saw him being dragged away.
"Luffy!" Mizumi kicked off her heels and ran after Luffy. He was out cold and strung over someone's shoulder. She passed the crew and grabbed Sanji and he ran with her.
"Mizumi where are we going," the crew were just a few steps behind them.
"Some person has Luffy," they rounded the corner and she saw his hat flaring around and she sped up. Sanji's face got serious and followed the girl through the crowds of people. She was quick and swift. She acts like this was nothing new to her. She stopped and she looked around and breathed heavily.
"Why'd you stop!" Zoro ran a little past them.
"I can't find him now." Mizumi saw a table of fruits and bread next to her with water. She drank some of the water and put a piece of bread into her mouth and looked at this piece of fruit in the back of the apples. It looked like a apple but it was white with blue swirls. It smelled good but Mizumis' stomach growled and she looked at the fruit and stuffed the white fruit in her mouth. It was so sour, and it puckered her face. A taste of crap, dirt, and mud went all threw her system and she stuck her glass in the water at least six times. She held her stomach and thought she was going to throw up. She stood up and looked at the others and she smiled and herd Zoro's voice,
"I see him, down at the dock!" Zoro ran fast and Mizumi started to run, she was faster than usual. She felt as she was flying and she caught up to Zoro.
"Mizumi," he looked at her and she had a serious face of worry and sadness on her face. She shook her head and saw the boat that the man was boarding with Luffy, it was leaving! She sped up and Zoro reached for her hand and she ran down the dock and saw Luffy look up at her and she reached for him seeing the dock coming to an end. She ran faster and jumped off the dock and onto the nets on the side of the large vessel.
"Mizumi!" the crew called her name and she felt someone's hand around her ankle and looked down, it was Zoro.
"What are you dong Zoro!" she started to kick him in the head.
"You go anywhere alone, you're bound for trouble," he let go of her ankle and climbed up the net following her. She hoisted herself over the railing and she and him hid behind a couple of boxes under a blanket. The smell of sea water and the stench of old men went through her nose and she sneezed and the men on the boat stopped walking. Zoro put a hand over her mouth and looked up slightly listening to the men.
"What do we got here boss?" a man chuckled.
"Just a boy," a girl squeaked. Mizumi looked up and started to squirm and kicking slightly.
"Stop it," Zoro glared at her.
"I know that voice," she hissed at him and got out from under the blanket and looked around the boxes slightly.
"What about the girl, boss" the short man with a kimono on and wearing tan shorts and a red bandana walked forward and was met with a wack on the head.
"This is why I have the boy, she'll fo-" he looked over at the boxes and Mizumi gasped and got up and climbed the rope latter.
"get her lads," he pointed with his hand and the men raced up the latter and climbed in the crow's nest.
Zoro looked at her and saw she was trapped and started to climb up the latter cutting them down one by one.
"Zoro!" Mizumi screamed and jumped down the latter fast to only miss the man knocking Zoro off the high latter to the hard dock below.
"Zoro," she grabbed for his hand and just missed it and came down and ran to Zoro but she was grabbed by her hair.
"no, we have business to take care of," he threw her aside and she rose slowly with a smirk on her face.
"You hurt me, I don't care. But you hurt my friends, that's when I get mad." She clenched her fist and by this time the moon was directly on the dock. Her hair started to glow white and her finger nails as well. These markings of Aztec lines came up her arms to her neck and down her spine. They glowed a blue color and she looked at herself and was shaking.
"What's happening to me?" She looked over herself and saw the man rushing at her and she put her hands out to block him and then a white transparent shield came around her and her bounced back in to the railing.
"What the hell," he got up and she was scared as well. She put her hands up and a sword was paced in her hands.
"What is this," she looked at it and the markings were carved into the hilt as they were on her arms.
"So, a user of devils fruit as well?" he got up and walked to her.
"What's a devils fruit?" Mizumi gripped the hilt.
"A fruit that obtains power to any person who eats it, like mine; the sleepy sleepy fruit. I can make people pass out from one I touch if I want." He looked at her.
"But why don't you do it then?" Mizumi and him walked in a circle looking at each other.
"You're just too much fun," he smiled and charged at her and Mizumi swung her sword and a light came out of it and hit him and there was a light mark on his arm. She put the sword down and did a combination of kicks and punches. Knocking him down on his knees; She kneed him in the chin and he raised up off the floor and she kicked him in the neck and chin and flipped back.
"God damn you!" he got up and came at her with such speed and punched her and she fell on the floor and he kicked her and the pain raced though her body. She got up and blocked the punch but she felt a piece of metal go in her side. The muscle tore, the pain was there fully.
Drip….drip..I can't be.
She thought to herself and the light flared around her and the light came into a ball and exploded and the man flew off the boat. She looked back at Zoro and saw he turned him self on his back. She herd the dripping and looked at her shoulder and saw the knife there with a circle of blood growing around it. She pulled it out and looked at her bloodied hands and walked over to Zoro.
"Zoro, you doing okay?" She looked at him and saw how hurt he was, he opened his eyes to hear the plops of blood hitting the floor.
"Mizumi," he tried to sit up. She put her arm around his shoulders and helped him stand up. He looked down at her and she tried to pull off a smile.
"Either I have been hit in the head to hard or, your hair is truly glowing." He looked at her funny.
"Yeah, isn't that something new," she flinched and herd other voices and yelps.
"Mizumi, Zoro!" Mizumi looked up as the Thousands Sunny pulled up next to the other ship. Frankie hoisted himself over the railing along with Nami and Chopper.
"Frankie," Mizumi sighed and smiled.
"Hey there sister," he looked at her and she handed Zoro over to him, and then he looked at her.
"You okay Zumi san," he looked over at her and saw her holding her shoulder and blood dripping from her hands.
"You, you called me Zumi," she looked at him.
"Yeah it's a nickname but are you okay?" he nodded at her and chopper came up to her. She waved to everyone and ran down the deck and ignored the screams from her crew. She opened the old splintering door and walked down the stairs slowly.
"Luffy, you down here?" she kept walking and realized her dress was so torn now and blood stained it.
"Luffy, hello?" she opened every door and saw nothing.
Maybe he's not even down here. She thought and kept walking. Then she herd moaning and groaning.
"Hello, Luffy?" she looked behind her and herd footsteps. She began to run and herd the noises getting louder. Then she tripped and saw Luffy's hat in front of her face. She looked to the door next to her and saw the deck hands from earlier tied up and moaning. Her stomach dropped and fear filled her and then she herd a thump.
"ah!" she jumped and she turned to Luffy laying on the floor.
"Luffy!" she ran up to him and kneeled down.
"Mizumi," he opened his eyes and bruises covered his face.
"I'm here," she helped him stand up and he pushed her away.
"I'm fine," he looked at her and smiled. He swayed from side to side a little and she took his arm and then she closed her eyes.
"Mizumi yo- your hurt." He held her arms and saw the blood all over her hands and arms.
"I'm fine," then she felt him pick her up and put her on his back and began walking down the hallway.
"Luffy," she wanted him to put her down. He was hurt and she didn't want to keep needing the help of the crew. She wanted to do something and be a part of something.
"I am not putting you down," he kept walking and he was laughing his head off. He stopped when he saw Robin and Sanji with Frankie running up behind.
"Little sister," Frankie walked up to her and took her from Luffy, and Luffy smiled.
"Hey you all, what a party huh?" he closed his eyes and fainted. Robin ran forward and catched him.
"Luffy," Robin looked at Mizumi when she said that.
"You okay," Robin stood up with Luffy strung over her back. She was going to say yes but she saw a face emerging, and jumped out of Frankie's arms and moved Robin out of the way.
"Move Rob-" Mizumi Yelled only to hear a gun shot and a eerie laugh sounding like a girl.
"It's you," Ms. Eight Walked out of the shadows and Mizumi fell on her knees with a bullet in her stomach.
"Hmm, and I thought you were dangerous." She came up to Mizumi and put her over her back and snapped her fingers and without any warning
