TheMorningAfter
The morning at breakfast, all people were talking about was Luffy and Phoenix and Phoenix and Luffy, except for Sanji. The two had not yet woken up. Luffy was the first to wake up. He decided to wake up Phoenix. But when he looked in the bed, she wasn't there. He checked the room, the deck, the figurehead, and he just and couldn't find her. He finally checked the crow's nest, and he found her and Robin in there with a map and a sheet of paper.
"Oi,Phoenix. It's time for breakfast." said Luffy quietly.
"Oh, okay. I'll be right down, Luffy."
"Oh, sure. I'll have Sanji make you your favorite."
"Takoyaki, steamed rice, and miso soup?"
"Yep. Do you want anything, Robin?"
"No, thank you. I already ate."
After Luffy left the crow's nest, Robin and Phoenix continued to talk.
"Robin, I came up here to ask you for a favor."
"I already know, Phoenix. You want me to help you find your mom. And since I'm the ship's archaeologist, you want me to help you you decode the code on the map in your hand."
"I can see why Luffy let you join the crew. I need to find my mom, but can you keep this between the two of us? I know that Luffy wants me to be on the crew, but if I find my mom, I can't stay. The only person you can possibly tell is Nami."
"I can keep it a secret, but you don't have to leave. You and Nami are the only normal ones. Plus, there is one person who won't be able to live without you on crew."
"Who? And don't say Luffy, because we are just friends. And...wait, someone is coming."
"Phoenix -swan~~! You were taking a little long , so I brought your food up here. Hello Robin-chwan."
" Thanks Sanji. Would you mind giving me and Robin some time alone."
" Of course, Phoenix-swan."
As Sanji climbed back down, Robin continued to talk to Phoenix.
"Would you mind if asked you a couple questions?"
"Sure, go ahead."
"Where are you from."
"Foosha Village."
"Names of parents."
"Um,"
"What's wrong?"
"I'm not sure. Naida and Silas Sage, I think."
"Did you check the forest?" she mumbled.
"What did you say."
"O nothing. Naida Sage. Do you know of her occupation."
"She is a scientist. She studied devil fruits, poneglyphs, and even was able to discover the first possible double fruit."
"What's a double fruit?"
"A double fruit is a devil fruit that contains two devil fruit powers?"
"Interesting. Had your mother ever consumed a devil fruit?"
"No."
"Your father?"
"No."
" Where you raised by your parents your whole life?"
" Well, no. My mother was arrested by the navy because she was accused aiding in the escape of a wanted pirate, and my father joined a pirate crew as a captain. He never really wanted children I guess. Luffy's parent's took care of me."
She finished the last of her breakfast.
"I see. So you see Luffy like a big brother?"
"Yes. Just a big brother. In fact, when I saw him, it was like seeing my dad."
"I think that I have the information I need for now."
They headed down the crow's nest. Zoro was there and he seemed a little angry. There was a hole in the deck and railings missing from the side of the ship.
"So, Miss Wanna-Be Mechanic, can you fix this?"
"Oi, oi, oi! Zoro What did you do to the ship? Kaya, out of the kindness of her heart, gave us this ship!"
"Relax, Usopp. Miss Mechanic should be able to fix this. Right? I didn't think so. That just goes to show that a girl-"
Zoro was stopped mid-sentence when he realized that while he was talking, Phoenix had already fixed the ship.
"Oi! Island! It's Nestai Harbor" said Nami only now realizing what was happening.
Still angry and being able to see the island, Zoro was going to swim to the island in attempt to clear his thoughts. But Phoenix saw the look in his eye and knowing what he was going to do she jumped out close behind Zoro. So close, in fact, she was able to grab his head, fling him back in the boat, and say, " Tell Robin that I remember everything! Oh, and happy birthday, Zoro!", before falling into the sea.
