Disclaimer: I only own the doppelganger(s)

NAOMI

"Why do we have to stay in here?" I hissed at Ren. We were hiding inside the storage room aganist the door while Robin talked to everybody.

"Because no one from Baroque works can know that Robin has a doppelganger. Not even Robin herself, not yet. So for now we gotta sit tight." Ren explained in a hushed whisper.

Zoro opened the door to the storage room causing both of us to fall out on our backs. "Its safe to come out now." He told us. Ren scowled up at him. "Come on. We need to talk." He said offering both of us hands up. I took the offered help but Ren stubbornly pushed herself to her feet before gasping in pain and clunthcing her sides.

"Are you alright?" Zoro and I demanded in unison.

"I'm fine." Ren muttered waving away our concern. No one had told me what had happened to her and at this point I was doubting weather I really wanted to know or not. Zoro looked at her dubiously. "Anyway you said somethin' 'bout needin' to talk right?" Ren asked crossing her arms, probably to hide the face she was hurt.

"Yeah, there was a girl just here who looked a lot like Naomi, htough you knew that didn't you?" Both of us nodded.

"So what's there to talk about?" Ren asked.

"You need to explain how you know all this." Zoro told her.

"I've already done that." Ren pointed out.

"Ok than how about explaining what's up with all these look alikes?" Zoro asked with a raised eyebrow.

"We're called doppelgangers thank you very much." Ren told him with a glare.

"Doppelgangers?" Vivi asked. She seemed interested "I've heard of those. They're rare though." She said.

"Can you tell me? Please. I don't know anything about them." I requested.

"Well according to legend doppelgangers are lost pieces of the orignal's soul. The blood, flesh, and bones of doppelgangers supposily grant powwers of types." Vivi told me.

"Oi. Princess. Don't go fillin' Naomi's head with fairytails." Ren said with crossed arms. Why didn't she want me to know about doppelgangers? It looked like Zoro and Vivi were wondering the same thing.

"What's wrong with explaining to Naomi what the two of you are?" Vivi asked.

"The less she knows the better." Ren said.

"Who are you to decide that for me?" I demanded.

"Look Naomi. I'm your best friend and frankly I know more than you do. All I'm trying to do is protect you." Ren answered before walking off.

I wondered if Mr. 3 or Miss Goldenweek knew aobut doppelgangers. If they did I couldn't let Naomi get too close to them. I couldn't let them get too close to them anyways because they'd try and connect her to Robin making things very bad for Robin.

I groaned and put my head down on the railing. "What's wrong with you?" Nami asked walking up.

"Nothing. I'm just thinking too hard. How close are we to Little Garden?" I asked.

"Almost there Why are you thinking too hard?" I sighed. I was going to have to tell her something.

"Well remember that girl you saw who looked like Naomi? Miss All-Sunday?" I asked her. She nodded.

"That was Naomi's orignal, if anyone from the organization she works for was to find out it could cause problems for her." I said.

"Isn't that a good thing?" Nami asked. No! Robin didn't need anymore bad things in her life. I shook my head.

"We don't know what would happen to a doppelganger if the orignal got hurt or worse killed." I covered but it was a true reason for my concern as well.

"We'll make sure nothing happens to Naomi just like we're making sure nothing happens to Vivi. So don't worry." Nami said. I sighed knowing that they, especially Nami, weren't in any posistion to promise anything. Not after what was about to happen on the next island.

We finally reached Little Garden. "Welcome to Little Garden where the only thing little is you." I joked. Naomi chuckled but I ignored it. If Naomi didn't want me to protect her fine. That just meant I had to cut all ties to her.

I decided to stay on the boat this time around. It was almost a sure thing that giants would know about doppelgangers mostly because of their long lifespans. Luckily Naomi went with Sanji. Shortly after the volcano erupted for a second time I found that I couldn't breath. I couldn't even stand. It was like all my strength was sapped. I passed out.

I'm getting a little borad with this story but if my readers want me to continue I will still write on it. So if you want more review please.
