Sorry for the wait, guys! I've been a little busy, so.. I'm good now!
SeerKing: It's coming up soon!
pizzafan123: I know, I'm trying to get her to bond with the crew. And it's funny thinking about it.. her lifting those giant weights!
Let's begin!
After I had read a few books with Robin for a good amount of time, I went out onto the deck. The clouds still hadn't disappeared, the sky a sea of grey. Frowning, I walked across the deck, over to the Crow's Nest mast. I began to scale the climb necessary to get into it, wanting to lift some weights to improve on my strength. I knew Zoro wouldn't be in there; he was taking a nap below deck. I reached the latch, and entered the nest. I shut the door below me, and stood there. Zoro's weights were all over the place, them being enormous. I don't think he would have any small weights for me to start with...
Shaking the negative thoughts out of my head, I began to wander around, trying to find any small weights. After searching through them several times, the smallest set I could find were the length of my arm... There was no way I was lifting this thing. But, trying to be determined, I grasped my two hands on the bar, and pulled up with as much strength I could muster. I barely moved it an inch! I frowned, but kept going, trying my hardest to lift it up. I managed to lift it off the ground an inch before I dropped it, arms already feeling like they were on fire. "How am I supposed to do this..?"
I continued lifting it off the ground, it being only about one inch each time, two if I was lucky. I did this about ten times until I took a break, my arms hurting. I walked over to the window to get a glimpse of the sky. I could see the small rain drops hitting against the glass now. "I should probably go back down.." I mumbled, heading over to the door. Before I opened it, it began to POUR out, and it startled me. I jumped out of my skin, and I fell onto the floor, butt first. I quickly ushered over to the window, and I couldn't see out of it. Meaning nobody would be able to see me from the outside. It would be suicide trying to get down with the weather like this, but it was also suicide sitting in here; tons of giant weights that could kill me, and the mast holding this up is broken. Either way, there was a pretty good chance I could die.
The only thing I could do was sit in the Crow's Nest, in a far away spot from the weights, and wait for the storm to end. Until realization hit me. 'I didn't tell anyone where I went...! They'll think something bad happened to me!' I began to panic, as I tried to open up the latch. Once I did, all I could see was the kitchen light on, probably meaning that's where everyone was. I could also see waves slamming up onto the deck, making it slippery. "This is bad!" I panicked even more, slamming the latch shut. I paced around, biting my fingernails as I did.
Inside the kitchen...
Sanji was practically crying, slamming his fist against the floor. "Where could Lisanna-swan have gone?!" he wailed. Zoro sat crossed-legged on the floor, resting against the wall. "Beats me, I haven't seen her all day." Sanji turned his gaze to him, fire in eyes. "HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT WHEN A LADY IS IN TROUBLE!" he was about to duke it out with Zoro, until Nami stopped him. "Sanji, ENOUGH!" she snapped, obviously worried about Lisanna. Sanji immediately stopped, going quiet. The worry was evident on his face, as he paced around. Zoro closed his eyes, resting against the wall. Even though he didn't show it, he was actually worried about her as well. Usopp fiddled with some of his pachinko, as he sat at the table. Chopper was wiping tears from his eyes that threatened to spill. Luffy sat there, not worried one bit. If she was apart of his crew, then she would be just fine! Nami bit her nails, while Robin sat calmly. "I believe I would be able to locate her. I can search around the ship." she suddenly spoke. Everyone turned to her quick, except for Zoro.
Robin crossed her arms across her chest, closing her eyes. A hand could be seen sprouting from the corner of the room, along with an eye on it. "Oh, I get it! Nice thinking, Robin!" Usopp cheered. Robin did this all over to the ship, until her eye had gone up to the Crow's Nest.
In the Crow's Nest...
I sat there, still curled in the far end of the room. I looked at the weights and barbells sitting throughout the room. I then saw some light pink leaves form near the wall next to me, and I turned to it. I saw a hand sprout from it, along with an eye that resembled Robin's. I smiled widely, and waved. I felt much better, now that I knew they knew of my whereabouts. I gave a small wave, letting Robin know that I saw her. It then disappeared into a small puff of petals. Sighing in relief, I leaned against the wall, still worried about the fact that I could get crushed by tons of weights. I slowly crept over to the window, peaking out. The rain showed no signs of dying down. Sighing once more, I made my way back over to my corner.
As I sat there, I began to think of what I would be doing on a rainy day back home. 'I'd probably be listening to music... Or writing in my old notebook.. Or maybe even help my mom out with cooking..' I frowned. Up until now, I hadn't really acknowledged how much I miss my mom. I kept the good memories locked away, them threatening to surface. I could feel tears starting to form, and I bit my lip. No, I can't show tears. I promised Luffy and everyone I would get stronger. Showing tears is a weakness, which isn't good. Keeping the tears at bay while thinking to myself, a large wave had smashed into the side of the Merry. It didn't go unnoticed, as I slammed my back against the wall pretty hard. It knocked the wind out of me for a split second, as I quickly recollected my breath. When I looked up, I could see the weights lifting off the ground from the impact. Until I noticed a large one.. heading straight towards me.
I did the one thing that I could do in the situation. As my eyes widened, I let out an ear-piercing scream.
