Disclaimer: I own nothing but the doppelganger(s)
We pulled into Whiskey Peak's port. Great. Of all the times I could have made my grand entrance it had to be now. They didn't even know who Robin is until they left the island and it would take them two more arcs until she truly opened up to them.
I let out a frusterated sigh that had both Ren and Sanji rounding on me. Ren because she was my best friend so of course she was concerned for me. Sanji.. I think it was his usual I like you because you're a girl thing.
"You alright?" Ren asked with a raise eyebrow.
"If you can call this alright." I said waving my hand around to the area around us where bounty hunters were cheering that pirates had come to their island.
"I admit it has a very 'come into my web said the spider to the fly' feel to it but we have each other." She reminded me looking around before sticking her hand out for me to hold like we had done as children. Oddly enough it was usually me who had to reasure Ren.
"Wasn't exactly what I was refering to but I guess it works." I said clasping my hand in hers.
"Don't forget about me." Nami suddenly said coming up on Ren's other side. "Us Strawhat girls have to stick together."
"What? When did we agree to that?" Ren and I asked in unison. Nami pouted. Ren laughed.
"Don't worry Nami. We might join eventually but right now nothing is for certain." Ren told the "sad" navigator.
While everyone was doing their thing, Nami and Zoro drinking, Luffy eating, Sanji flirting with about six different girls, and Usopp telling wild stories that wer obviously lies Ren and I talked. I didn't mean to fall asleep but unfortantly I did.
REN
I supressed the urge to scream when I was suddenly grabbed by my hair and pulled to my feet. "A doppelganger. How lucky am I?" A guy hissed in my ear as he let go of my hair only to trap my hands behind my back.
"I don't know. How lucky are you?" I asked. If I kept him talking and distracted maybe I could get loose.
"Very lucky." The guy muttered. Was it just me or was this crazy fool sniffing my hair. "Do you know how vaulable you are?" He asked as goose bumps formed on the back of my neck. This dude was seriously starting to creep me out.
"No but why don't you tell me?" I requested before gasping in pain. Was he trying to break my wrists?
"Alright. It's said that the blood of a doppelganger can give you a power boost like no other. If you eat its flesh you'll become immortal. And if you keep the bones they'll protect your family for the rest of eternity." He whispered before kissing my ear. Eww. I only had my sights set on one guy and he certainly wasn't him.
"Interesting." I said dully causing the man to laugh.
"You don't even know what you are. You must thik I'm a cannibel or something." He said.
"Maybe." I answered trying to stay vauge.
"Doppelgangers aren't human. They're pieces of the orginal's soul that managed to escape at birth. Some even say that they've managed to travel through worlds. I shivered. "Now be a good girl and don't scream." He ordered me. The sharp point ad smooth edged blade of a dagger peirced my side. Luckily it wasn't a fatal wound. Unluckily it hurt and I was sure that the guy was going to keep tabbing me until it was fatal.
ZORO
Good thing I'd stayed alert. Luffy would be toast if I couldn't finish off these bounty hunters. Miss Wednesday, the blue haired girl from the ship, was now trying to fight me. A scream pierced the air causing both of us to turn.
Some guy had Re and from the looks of it he'd just stabbed her. Oddly enough Miss Wednesday was the one to save her. "Thanks Vivi." Ren muttered as Miss Wednesday, Mr Nine, and I hurried over to her.
"How do you know my real name?" Miss Wednesday asked. Ren started to smile and than grimaced from pain.
"I know things. Naomi knows them too." Ren muttered her eyes widenig as she looked behind us. It was two people claiming they were looking for royalty. A princess named Vivi. Once again Ren was proven correct.
Luffy and I fought and beat up the pair who interupted out battle. Nami hit us both before we could resume.
"You idiots!" She shouted before going off aobut money. Ren rolled her eyes.
"Nami chill please." Ren requested pulling the hag's attention to her.
"And you let them hurt Ren?" Nami shouted rounding on me. Vivi sighed and started attempting to bandage Ren but Ren was making it difficult.
"Nami knock it off. Besides it would be interesting to see what would happen if I die." Ren said shedding her jacket and looking at it sadly. "Stupid moron. Put a hole through my jacket." She muttered fingering the tear that could just as easily be fixed if Nami or Usopp was willing.
"How can you say that?" Nami demanded.
"Because he did." Ren pouted as she continued to brood. It was a jacket for christ's sake. She could just as easily get a new one.
"I'm not talking about the jacket." Nami told her. Ren shrugged, hissing in pain when it caused Vivi to press too hard on one of the two still bleeding wounds she had.
"That? Well the guy told me that I'm mearly a rebellious peice of your soul that some how escaped the rest of you. So it would be iterestig to see if when I die it returns to you or if something else happens." Ren said.
"You can't die. We won't let you." Luffy told her fercilly. I agreed with him. For some reason the thought of Ren dieing made me feel uneasy.
"Whatever." Ren said rolling her eyes. "I'm more worried about Naomi. She's a doppelganger too and apparently they're worth something." Ren said lookig into the distance probably hoping to see Naomi.
"Yeah but that means people will be after you a lot more because they can sse you're a doppelganger and you're hurt already." Nami pointed out. Ren sighed and ran a hand through her hair.
"Look. Can we move this conversation on to more important things. Like the organization of bounty hunters Princess Vivi infiltrated and their boss?" She asked lying back and looking at the sky.
"What do you mean?" Vivi asked with widened eyes.
"Well with him being one of the seven warlords of the sea he plays a vital role in what's to come." Ren said looking at her nails. "I mean after all you did ally oyurself with these people so you colud stop him right?" She questioned Vivi piercing her with a knowing stare.
"Yes but you guys can't defeat him. Sir Crocodile is-" Vivi suddenly cut off with a hand over her mouth and wide eyes.
"And so it begins." Ren said standing up ignoring the weird vulture and sea otter with sketch pads. "I'm gonna go and take a nap on the ship." She muttered walking away.
