Oh and sorry to all the big fans out there I don't know the names of those special swords Tashigi is after and I can't be bothered to look em up.

CHAPTER 5

Zolo smiled as Angel and Robin touched down on the deck of the ship, he hadn't been worried but the others had been. Zolo chuckled to himself as he watched an uncharacteristically flustered Robin step away from Angel's embrace, and the swordsman could have sworn he saw Angel smirking as if he knew something. "Tonight I'm getting him drunk and finding out what happened" "Hey guys sorry where late" said Angel "We got caught in a blizzard we holed up in a convenient cabin for the night and set of again, you can guess the rest, nice scenery and then this ship and your ugly mugs" he smiled and raised his hands defensively to show he was joking when Usopp and Chopper advanced on him, apparently Luffy found it funny and Nami hadn't heard since she was wrapped around her captain. Zolo really didn't care, Sanji had stormed off, Zolo smiled "love cook suspects more than I do". "Hey Angel, can we set sail now Nami?" asked their energetic captain flitting from subject to subject Nami nodded kissed Luffy on the cheek and set to work. Zolo settled down on the deck and wasn't that surprised when Angel plopped down next to him "so what's new how'd you go in getting away from the Navy, most followed me but what about ships?" Zolo smiled Angel wanted tactical information "smart" "We seem to have shaken them, there not following as far as anyone can tell but we have insurance just in case" "Insurance?" "Yeah we got ourselves a prisoner" "OOHH male or female?" "Female" "Name, rank, cup size etcetera?". Zolo laughed the bawdy seemingly casual question was designed purely to throw of anyone who might be suspecting something between Angel and Robin, Zolo didn't buy it "Tashigi, Rank I don't know, Cup size too dangerous to find out, she actually reminds me of…" Zolo cut off realizing where he was going, he glanced at Angel who was giving him a considering look then he spoke "of someone you lost?" Zolo nodded and waved his hands as he didn't want to speak of it. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Angel nod and smile, and then the larger man stood up and wandered of to chat and catch up with the rest of the crew.

Tashigi remained silent as the Pirate Captain and the woman who had been identified as the Navigator of the Pirate Ship Going Merry entered her room "This is a room, its not really a brig just a locked room". She was expecting to be interrogated or some such what else could she expect from pirates, even pirates as strange as these, Tashigi was still trying to process what she had seen at Alabasta and how the Straw Hat crew had fought for good and justice and taken down one of the evilest men on the Grand Line, but a pirate was a pirate as Commodore Smoker would say. Tashigi was surprised to see the Pirate Captain smiling her with genuine friendliness "Hi" he said "I'm gonna let you go, you can walk around the ship and do what you want as long as you don't hurt my crew or my boat, or steal from us you'll be fine, but if you do your going over the side" Tashigi's jaw dropped as the Captain smiled and turned and walked right out the door, she noticed the red headed navigator shaking her head and then she spoke "I know you've got some sort of problem with Zolo and he won't hurt you for some reason, just a bit of advice while your with us, 1 expect the unexpected, petty fights, accidents, pranks and the like, 2. prepare yourself for a blonde headed cook to come after you with all his charm, he's sweet but he's a womanizer. 3. Luffy means what he says, 4. first town we see we'll drop you off so you can rejoin your real crew but the next town is about 2 weeks away sorry". With that said the Navigator smiled at her and extended her hand "My names Nami, Zolo told me your name which is surprising I didn't know the guy had an interest in women but you seem to disturb he for some reason good work" the red head winked and walked out leaving the door wide open. Tashigi, stood up utterly shocked this was not what she had expected, from what she had seen she had expected to be dropped off at the nearest town or just given back to the Navy for safe passage, but she hadn't expected free reign nothing like this. Tashigi decided to test this, she walked out of her cabin and onto the deck the sight that greeted her was unexpected, the navigator "Nami her names Nami…no she's a pirate" but Tashigi remembered to be polite to everyone just like her mother had taught her so she would call the crew by their names no matter what kind of criminal they where. Nami was sitting in the lap of the captain Luffy who was sitting up against the mast sleeping, the red head was apparently working on a map. Zolo she noticed was sleeping nearby his arms wrapped protectively around his three swords "I'll get them from you one day Zolo" the other crew members she looked around for, Tashigi nearly jumped out of her skin, Nico Robin who had injured her so badly at Alabasta was sitting next to her in an sun chair reading a book, Robin looked up and smiled at Tashigi then turned back to her book. Tashigi saw a man who was recognized as part of the crew but had no bounty Usopp the sharpshooter, sitting next to the sharpshooter was the oddest creature Tashigi had ever seen, it looked like a reindeer but had the body and voice of a small child. "That's Tony Tony Chopper he's the ships doctor" Tashigi jumped again as Robin spoke to her from behind, Tashigi gave the woman a strained smile and turned back to study the crew when she heard foot steps behind her. She turned and saw a blonde headed man coming straight towards her with a look of utter adoration on his face, Tashigi began to back away, "My beloved Angel, I am yours till the day I" the mans speech was interrupted from above "HEY WHO YOU CALLING YOUR BELOVED DAMM COOK I DON'T SWING THAT WAY" yelled a deep voice from above, Tashigi jumped then remembered to expect the unexpected as she looked up and noticed a man peering down from the Crows nest, she didn't know his face "he must be new to the crew this is valuable Intel" Tashigi heard the cook mutter something about "birdbrain" then the cook finished what he was saying "till he day I die, I will cook you any meal you could desire" then the cook "I recognize him now" reached for her arm to apparently caress it, Tashigi had had enough of this sappy fawning, she hit the cook full in the face knocking him on his ass but unfortunately she over balanced and fell herself she landed on something hard but not wood she could tell that much. She looked down into a very surprised face "OH MY GOD" she screamed and scrambled backwards, she'd fallen onto the swordsman's chest, Tashigi backed up and looked around to see peoples reactions, the cook was picking himself up rubbing at his cheek, Robin we merely watching the scene with a smile, Nami appeared to be giggling into Luffy's chest while the captain chuckled. Chopper and Usopp where watching, looking wary of the situation as if unsure whether to laugh or not. Tashigi then looked at the swordsman and the look he gave her was unsettling, he was staring at her, still in the same position he had been but he was breathing hard as if he'd just run a race, he then did something very odd, he whispered something that Tashigi couldn't hear then rolled over and seemed to be trying to go back to sleep. Tashigi then heard laughter coming from the crows nest, she looked up and noticed the man from before sitting on the crows nest rim laughing so hard he was crying. Everyone turned to watch the man, as he noticed all eyes on him all he merely did was point in Tashigi's direction and laugh harder then disaster struck. Tashigi gasped as the man over balanced and fell from the crows nest, she watched as it happened in slow motion the mans arms wind milling as his long black coat flapped around him then he his the deck with a thud. Tashigi winced then noticed something sickening the rest of the crew appeared to be laughing or chuckling at this. Tashigi was in shock, the man was probably dead how could they laugh, then the man sat up and the marine nearly jumped out of her skin. The man shook his head, glanced up at the crows nest, looked around at the crew and smiled sheepishly; he then rubbed the back of his head and chuckled. The man assumed a shocked expression when Tashigi spoke up "Are you alright?" the question seemed to shock him more than the fall he question was answered by Zolo who rolled over to face her "Yeah he will be that's the third time this morning". Tashigi's jaw hit the floor, who where these people she understood how Luffy and Robin could be so strong they'd eaten cursed fruit but how could one of the normal crew be that tough "Unless he's another one… I'd better find out" Tashigi walked over and began to climb the ladder to the crow's nest; she didn't notice Robin glare at her and prepare to use her powers on her but was stopped when Luffy shook his head and smiled at her. Tashigi oblivious to how close she came to death continued to climb, when she reached the top she was surprised to see the man facing her and smiling "Heard you coming Tashigi right? Hi I'm Angel the others told me about your being a guest aboard our fine ship" "I'm not guest I'm a prisoner who are you" "Like I said I'm Angel and I'm the newest member of the Straw hat crew" "What are you?" immediately after asking this question Tashigi knew it was a mistake, Angels face clouded over and his eyes flashed with rage and pain "S-sorry I mean what cursed fruit did you eat" Angels face cleared up and he gave an easy smile "Its okay and I didn't eat any fruit" "then how could you survive that fall?" "Watch" Angel then took of his coat and Tashigi gasped as she saw wings spread forth "I was born like this", Tashigi backed up and would have gone over the edge if Angel hadn't stopped her, she looked at his muscular arm stopping her from falling and then his beautiful wings and blushed. To her horror Angel chuckled "Sorry I'm not the man for you I think Zolo is though" this snapped Tashigi out of her trance, she slapped Angel as hard as she could it hurt her hand like hell "I'll never feel anything for that man" "Really? Seemed pretty exited when you had your butt on his chest" Tashigi gasped went crimson in the face turned and climbed out of the crows nest. When she reached the bottom she noticed Zolo watching her and smiling, Tashigi turned and walked back to her room, trying to shut out the laughter coming from the crows nest.

Zolo watched as Angel landed lightly on the deck and headed into the cabins for some reason, he wasn't that surprised when he saw Robin follow him, he got up and followed slowly he had decided to have some fun. He saw Robin head into her room; he ducked behind a corner as she entered so as not to be seen, when she had Zolo moved closer to the door to listen in on the conversation.

Meanwhile inside that room "Robin about what happened" "Shhh my Angel" "B-But…" "Angel listen" Robin said as she placed a finger to his lips to stop him talking "I-I've never quite felt anything like what I feel for you Angel, I can't say what it is yet, I just can't I'm sorry" Angel stood up and hugged Robin tightly, she relaxed into him and placed her arms around his neck. "Robin it may be hard for you but its not for me all right I love you Robin" he felt Robin shiver against his chest "I-I- I can't" Robin began to cry "Shhh its okay, take your time when you say it, it will mean so much more" Angel kissed her, then released her from his hug and headed for the door when he felt a hand restraining him he turned as Robin leapt at him. Their kiss broke and Robin smiled "I love you Angel I really do" Angel smiled and leaned in for another kiss.

Zolo smiled to himself "Good for them but unfortunately I'm bored so watch out". Zolo headed out onto the deck and to his surprise found Luffy near the door "Hey Zolo what's new?" asked the stretchy captain "Wanna get back on Angel for that stunt he pulled on you and Nami" The captain nodded enthusiastically "Well here's what we do". Luffy and Zolo's smiles grew wider and wider as they planned.

Angel, rubbed at his neck and shoulders, he was lucky he healed fast otherwise these claw marks would plague him, he slipped back on his shirt as Robin dressed, they walked out of the cabin together they'd decided to tell everyone. He walked out on deck with his arm around Robin's waste and froze, the crew was gathered together watching them though Sanji did seem to be kinda dazed and glassy eyed, Angel smiled he was about to speak when Zolo got in first. Zolo put his arm around Luffy and started speaking; reading from a piece of paper, "Robin about what happened" Luffy spoke next 'Shhh my Angel" they continued. Angel took a second to work out what was happening; he glanced at Robin to see her reaction before his own rage boiled over, Robin was red in the face, her eyes had narrowed and her teeth where bared. Angel was a little frightened he'd never seen her so mad, she looked up at him as the whole group started to laugh, "Kill em all?" he asked with a smile, Robin returned his smile and nodded and they both turned back to the now silent frightened looking group. Angel took a step forward and everyone screamed and scattered, Angel leap forward and landed in front of the swordsman who'd been trying to get away "HI how ya doing Zolo?" he then hit the swordsman in the gut and hefted him onto his shoulder and hauled him to the mast, he noticed Robin doing the same with Nami, Angel nodded and looked around he spotted a long nose sticking out from behind a barrel, he jumped and landed on the barrel staring down into a pair of very frightened eyes, he lashed out and Usopp crumpled to the deck, Angel picked him up and hauled him to the mast and dumped him on Zolo's unconscious form, he saw Sanji being dragged by Robin he had a very odd bruise on his face "What you do to him?" "Got him with a frying pan from ten feet" Angel laughed and searched for the last two crew members, he spotted a straw hat up in the crows nest then noticed a large red hat poking out from a tangerine tree that was kept further back on the ship, he pointed them both out to Robin and lifted off and got above the crows nest, he landed silently behind the pirate captain, "HEY LUFFY" the pirate captain stood up abrubtly which gave Angel the ripe opportunity to plant a foot in his backside, Luffy hit the mast and slid down "Probably didn't knock him out but I bet that hurt". He jumped down to see Robin carrying a frightened but conscious Chopper by his feet, Chopper looked at them both his eyes wide with fear and he squealed when Robin let him go and he hit the deck "Where even now Chopper wake them up" Angel turned and saw Tashigi looking at them from the cabin door "No not at us at Zolo" Angel then grabbed Robin and flew up to the crows nest and settled down with her in his lap and they began to talk, "Zolo turned on us, I understand Luffy doing that he had a right too but Zolo's got to pay what do you think?" Robin nodded "We should bring Luffy and Nami in on this, but what should we do?" "I've got an idea for that" Robin smiled as he explained.

Zolo was worried, he knew that Angel said they where even but Zolo suspected that he meant even with Luffy, "This could be bad" Zolo had to keep himself on his toes no telling what they would come up with.
