-Jamie's POV-

I looked up at Zoro, "Did they just say a princess?"

He glanced down at me, and shook his head, "Yup."

I shrugged then looked around, "You know, you can put me down."

Quickly I was set down on my feet, and I laughed, "Embarrassed are we?"

Just as he turned to face me to say something he stopped in mid track and looked down, Igarum holding on to his foot. I raised an eye brow down at the man, before turning to see Ryan come up with Luffy being dragged behind him.

"Hey." I smiled at my brother, and started to wave only to have my back fire up in pain.

"Are you okay?"

I smiled at him, "Fine. Just remind me not to wave anymore."

He smiled lightly and nodded, and we both turned to Zoro and Igarum.

"Please protect the princess! There will be great reward! Just protect her!"

"Reward?"

I turned slightly to see a grinning Nami sitting on a barrel next to us, "That's interesting! How about 1 billion beri?"

I rolled my eyes, "It's good to see you're still the same."

Igarum started coughing, "One… billion?!"

Zoro turned to her, "Didn't you get drunk and pass out?"

She grinned, "I couldn't sleep well in a town that welcomed pirates!"

"I pretended the whole thing!"

I shook my head at her with a smile, then she looked down at Igarum, "So how 'bout it? If you don't give me 1 billion beri, the princess will die for sure."

I shook my head, "Wow. Just wow."

She ignored me and listened to Igarum, "How am I going to find that kind of money?!"

"So, you're princess is worthless with money?"

"If you help the princess you can deal with her directly!"

"So we have to help the princess first?"

I felt something shaking in my pocket, my hand dove down into my pocket pulling out the small piece of paper that seemed to be forgotten over the last few events.

The first two lines where at full glow, and the third was faintly glowing.

"Uh, Nami?"

She turned to me, "What?"

"We have to help the princess."

"What? Why?"

I turned the piece of paper around and pointed to the third line, "It just started acting up in my pocket. To be honest, I kind of forgot about it with all the fights and what not."

She shook her head, and turned to Igarum, "Fine. We'll help your princess. But that doesn't mine it's going to be for free."

Everything went quiet then Nami pointed to the way the princess ran off to, "Zoro, go get her!"

"WHY DO I HAVE TO!?"

"Fine, Ryan and Zoro go get her."

"HEY, WHY DON'T YOU!?"

"I'm fine with going."

"RYAN, DON'T SIDE WITH HER! SHE'S USING US TO GET HER MONEY!"

"And?"

I shook my head at them, "AND YOU'RE SELFISH!"

Nami glared at him, "WHAT? I JUST ASKED YOU TO HURT SOMEONE!"

"I HATE BEING USED! DON'T COMPARE ME TO THAT STUPID COOK!"

"Are you afraid you're going to lose to them?"

"WHAT WAS THAT?"

"I said, are you afraid you're going to lose to them?"

I turned my attention to the now awake Luffy. He stood up with a yawn, and I laughed. His whole body had expanded due to the amount of food he had eaten. He started wobbling forward, mumbling something about a bathroom.

"Besides! You still owe me!"

"What are you talking about?"

I turned to Ryan, "There still going at it?"

He nodded, shaking his head, "We're wasting time her with them fighting."

I nodded in agreement, tuning Zoro and Nami back in.

"I said you had to pay 3 times interest! You still owe me 200,000 beri!"

His jaw dropped, "I don't have to actually pay you that, do I?!"

"Yes, you do!"

"What?!"

Her face became serious, "You can't even keep one promise?"

Zoro stared at her defeated and shocked.

"If you do what I say, you won't have to pay."

Zoro stomped off and Ryan quietly but quickly followed, "YOU WONT DIE PEACIFULLY!"

Nami grinned, "That's right I may be in hell."

I shook my head and turned to Igarum, he was rambling about something.

"What's that?"

He turned to me, "If only I was stronger! Then I could protect the princess!"

"Don't worry, Zoro is a pretty good fighter."

I nodded with Nami, "And Ryan's kinda good."

Nami shook her head at me and turned back to Igarum, "The princess must survive!"

Nami stared at him shocked for a minute before turning to me, "What happened to you?"

I looked up at her and smiled, "Just a scratch."

"Turn around."

I raised an eyebrow at her then slowly turned around, she quickly lifted up the back of my shirt, which happened to be stained with blood not to mention the shirt's white.

She gasped, "How'd you get all of these tiny wounds?'

"I was helping Zoro and Ryan fight everyone, and I was attacked by someone."

She turned me around, "Who?"

I looked down at the ground and sighed, "My mom."

"What? How is that even possible you're not from this world!"

"Apparently my families a lot more screwed up then I thought."

"Care to explain?"

I sighed, "I'll say the basics. My dad and mom apparently come from this world, but my father ate a devil fruit which gave him the power to go from world to world. He somehow forced my mom, who also ate a fruit called the Terror-Terror Fruit. She's able to control people's worse fears. When I was younger I was terrified of needles, which I've grown out of. But, my mom still used that information and attacked me."

She stayed quite for a minute and then spook, "So, you're mom attacked you?"

I looked down at the ground, "Everything was lie. Her disappearance, her being a loving caring mother. Everything was just a lie."

"What about your dad?"

"I never really had a close relationship with him; Ryan had a little better one. But really he was always busy. So, was my mom but that's why I'm so grateful I had a twin. We've been so close sense we were kids because really, we were all we had."

"Yeah, but do you think he's here?"

I bite my lip, "I actually have no idea."

Nami sighed and turned to Igarum and back to me, "Do you think you're parents could be like Mr. Nine and Ms. Wednesday?"

I tilted my head to the side, and shrugged, "I have no idea."

Nami turned to Igarum, "What can you tell us about Baroque Works?"

"It's a secret criminal organization. No one knows the boss. We basically investigate, murder, pirate hunt, and steal. We follow the boss's orders without question."

I raised an eyebrow, "Why would you listen to some guy you don't even know?"

"The main goal of Baroque works is to create a dream country. Boss convinced everyone that they would have a high rank when his dream country is created."

I nodded and Nami quietly said, "So, that's why."

"His code number is Mr. Zero. So the lower the number the better they fight. Especially 5 and under, they all will have super human powers."

"So they ate devil fruits?"

He nodded at me, "Correct."

Nami opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by Ryan's voice appearing out of no where.

Suddenly he ran into me stopping himself, panting only a little bit. I tilted my head, "Ryan?"

"Luffy… and Zoro… they're fighting…"

Nami glared down at him over my shoulder, "WHAT? WHY?"

"Luffy thinks… he attacked everyone… for no reason…!"

"Did you tell him they were pirate hunters?!"

"He won't listen!"

I shook my head, "Let's go, without a doubt, they'll listen to you Nami."

She glared at the ground, and nodded stomping forward. I quietly followed and Ryan quickly led the way.

I heard the screams from Zoro and then some from Luffy and shook my head. "Nami do you…"

I stopped and looked around, "Nami?"

I looked ahead and saw Nami punching both Luffy and Zoro in the head. I laughed walking forward.

"STOP BEING STUPID."

Nami put her hands on her hips, "As long as you can protect that girl, everything will be fine!"

She grabbed them both by the collars on their shirts, "I was so close to losing 1 billion beri!"

Ryan and I laughed at the two from behind Nami, "Why are you protecting me?"

I looked up at the Princess on her duck thing, and listened to her continue, "What are you talking about?"

Nami let go of both boys, "That's right. We need to talk, Princess. How about a negotiation?"

She stared at us confused, "Negotiation?"

Nami glared down at the still fighting Zoro and Luffy, and punched them swiftly in the head. "STOP!"

--

Everyone quieted down, and Nami quickly explained to Luffy that everyone was a pirate hunter on this island, and he quickly burst out laughing.

"Why didn't you tell me?! I thought you guys did it because they didn't have your favorite food!"

Zoro glared at Luffy, "Don't compare me to you."

I laughed at them and turned to the Princess and Nami.

"That's impossible," she said, "but thank you for saving me."

"Why? It's just 1 billion beri; you're a princess, aren't you?"

She stared at us seriously, "Do you know of Alabasta?"

Nami shrugged, "Never heard of it."

"It use to be the most peaceful nation and most civilized of the Grand Line."

"Used to?" I repeated.

"What happened?" Ryan asked from next to me.

"During these past 3 years, the citizens stared to become restless and disturb the nation. Then one day, I heard about 'Baroque Works'. I learned everyone had been persuaded by this group. Besides that, I don't know much. So we can't really do anything about it. So I asked Igarum to help me, he's the one who has taken care of me since I was a kid."

Luffy tilted his head, "That old man with curly hair?"

The princess nodded to him then continued, "With a little rumor we couldn't do much, so we joined Baroque Works and tried to dig up any secrets we could."

"You're a brave princess."

I nodded in agreement with Zoro, "Usually princess are lame and all they do is get kidnapped."

Nami stood up from her seat on a barrel, "Wait, the purpose of Baroque Works is to build a dream country isn't it?"

She nodded, "Yes, the boss used that to persuade the people. But the actual goal of Baroque Works is to conquer Alabasta! I have to hurry up and warn everyone; if I can't everyone will fall for their plan!"

Nami nodded, "I understand now. Such a chaotic nation wouldn't have that much money."

Luffy spook up from next to me, "So, who's the boss?"

The princess's hands quickly went into the air, "Its better you not know that! This is the only thing I cannot tell you it could cost you your life!"

Nami laughed, "It's good you're not telling us!"

I nodded, "Anyone who wants to take over a country has to be strong."

She nodded, "That's right no matter how strong you are, no one can compare to 'Crocodile' one of the seven warlords of the sea!"

Everyone's jaw dropped.
