Hey! Back again with another chapter!

SeerKing: I'm debating right now whether if she should eat a Devil Fruit or not. And she'll most likely fight with a sword, unless I have a change in heart. I thought of doing a sword because she just wants to get to know Zoro better. :D

Enjoy!


My eyes widened, not expecting him to ask me so early! I couldn't respond, as I just stood there, eyes wide and mouth open. "Oi, Luffy! You should probably give her some space. She just recovered from something, and you're already asking her to join?" Usopp walked up the stairs, joining in on the conversation. I only looked at him, trying to avoid Luffy's anxious stare. "Luffy, I don't think you should be asking her to join right at this moment either.." Chopper commented, walking out from behind me. Luffy frowned a little, but it was short-lived, it being replaced with his grin once more. "Okay! I'm going to ask you later on, though! Be ready!" he cheered. "I-I'll give it some thought..." I mumbled, watching Luffy running off, him going to ask Zoro to play tag. Usopp sighed, and turned to me. "Sorry about that.. That's just how he is." he folded his arms across his chest. "Give it some thought though, alright? And then let the Great Captain Usopp-sama know!" he beamed. I couldn't help but giggle. "I will!"

As I watched Usopp run off with Chopper, babbling about some new invention he made, I sighed, leaning against the wall. "So, you're okay now?"' a female voice asked me, causing me to turn my head to the source. It was their navigator, Nami! I nodded, keeping my gaze on her. "What's your name? Mine's Nami." she smiled, being very friendly. "L-Lisanna.." I replied, stuttering a bit. 'Why am I stuttering? There's nothing to be afraid of..' I wondered to myself, as Nami smiled warmly at me. I couldn't shake the feeling that she would become like an older sister figure to me. "Well, Lisanna, I heard that Luffy, our thick-skulled captain has asked you to join our crew." she smiled, leaning against the railing.

I joined her, standing next to her. "Yeah... I don't know if I should.. i-it was so sudden.." I replied, holding onto the railing. It was going to be a big decision for me, and it was going to require a lot of thinking. "If you do, I'm going to charge you 100,000 beli." she grinned, looking at me. "W-What?!" I stuttered, eyes going wide. "I-I don't even have any money!" I cried out. She laughed, and gripped the railing. "I'm joking, I'm joking!" she giggled, calming herself down. Relief washed over me, but I couldn't help the sweat coming from my face. 'I thought she was serious...' I sweat-dropped. "I won't charge you any money, but give it some thought, okay? We could use another woman on this crew; it being only Robin and I." she smiled. "Robin..?" I asked, pretending not to know her. "You haven't met her yet?" she looked at me, in disbelief. She grabbed my wrist, tugging me forward. "W-Where are we going?" I asked, being dragged after her. "We're going to meet Robin!"

As I was helplessly dragged about by Nami, I could feel Zoro's stare boring holes into me. I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable under his stare. 'He probably doesn't trust me yet... It's understandable..' Even though it would be normal for him not to trust me yet, I couldn't help but feel a little hurt. I'm sure it would hurt anyone else too; have their favorite character have a sense of hostility towards them. I forced myself to forget about it, as Nami dragged me towards Robin, who was reading a large book, sitting by her small table. As we approached her, I could smell the strong scent of freshly brewed coffee, as my eyes locked onto the cup sitting on the table. "Robin, have you met Lisanna yet?" Nami called out, as we approached her. Robin turned her sea-blue gaze from the book towards us, and a smile spread across her lips as we approached. I could also feel the warmness coming from her; they were all so welcoming to me..

"No, Navigator-san, I haven't." she replied, keeping the book opened on her lap. We finally stood in front of her, as Nami still had an iron-grip on my wrist. "H-Hello.." I sheepishly greeted, looking at Robin, the Straw Hat archaeologist. "Hello, Miss Lisanna, my name is Nico Robin, but you may address me by just Robin." she smiled warmly at me. I slowly smiled back, relaxing my tense muscles a bit. "Okay... you don't have to keep the 'Miss' in front of my name. You can just call me Lisanna, if you'd like..." I replied, standing up more straight. She giggled, and kept the smile on her face. "I will, Lisanna."

After meeting Robin, Nami had taken me to the women's quarters, just to show me what it would be like if I joined the crew. "We would be adding another bed in here, and the men hardly ever come in here, so you don't have to worry about them busting in." she told me, as I curiously looked around the room. It was so nice and clean.. It made me think back of my home, where I never bothered to clean my room... My eyes must have looked distant for a moment, because Nami had noticed. "Lisanna, you okay?" she asked, the slightest bit of worry showing in her voice. I quickly snapped out of it, and nodded. "Yeah, just thinking about some things." I replied, keeping the smile on my face. She seemed convinced, and continued to tell me things about the ship. "U-Um.. Nami..?" I asked, not wanting to interrupt her. She looked at me. "Yeah?" "C-Could you give me a tour of the s-ship..?" I shuffled my feet, feeling weird for asking. Her smile only grew wider, and she excitedly nodded. "Of course, come on!" she grabbed my wrist again, dragging me out of the room. As we were walking down the hall, just starting the tour, thoughts continued to rush in my head.

'This would be a nice life and all... But should I really join the Straw Hat Pirates..?'
