A/N: Sorry for the wait but I still need to work on my own books and I was slacking for a bit. Thanks for everyone that has reviewed so far. Please keep in mind that the story is not completely canon because I'm playing with their relationships because I'm a perv and want to. This plot is obviously mine and it didn't really happen. As for the suggestion about a Nami reverse harem, that is kind of what I'm going for when I started this but as much as I like Usopp's character, not sure if I can bring myself to do that. For me (speaking from my own personal point of view, not anyone else's) I see Usopp as being the type of man to have that one woman in his life that is forever special and living a content completely sappy relationship with. I don't think he'd be the type to accept sharing or doing a threesome. Not with what I'm working for with this fic. If I add another man to the pile, it would be Law. Lanky but comes off as being someone that would be into kink. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter and that some explanations are met. Thnx!

Chapter Four - The Four Saints

The sweet smell of citrus assaulted her nose, stirring something in the back of her mind. Nami carefully examined the many fruits that were up for sale. Some of the fruit was turning from sitting too long. Nort was still at her elbow, making sure no one got too close. The others had begged off continuing to shop in order to go get something refreshing at the pub. With only one guard left, she wanted to look around the place. The log pose had spun again, this time pointing to the left. Chasing it down would be foolish, it had shown her nothing last time. Instead of wasting time, she needed to get her supplies.

"Come now," Nort reached out to get a firm hold onto bare elbow. This wasn't going to be pleasant. It just had to happen after those idiots left to go drink. The captain had warned him to be careful but he was positive he hadn't seen the other crew's ship in the harbor. Had they missed it somehow? There was no mistaking the three walking towards them at a fast pace. The little racoon dog was being carried by the swordsman. The other was Blackleg, he would have trouble if the girl saw them. Keeping her memories restrained was difficult enough without having a sharp reminder in her face.

"Wait, I want to check out the bookstore. We have time," Nami snapped at the pressure digging into her skin. What the hell was the rush? She wouldn't buy any of the books but she'd stand around for another five minutes looking just because he had snapped at her. She didn't care for the tone or being ordered around. It was too soon to head back to the ship. She knew that Les didn't like her around when he was having a 'meeting.' Whether he thought her too gentle or too unimportant to know what they were doing, she was just thankful for the time alone.

"Then get inside the store, I'm getting bored just standing here." Nort almost shouted in relief when she nodded in agreement. Anything to get her out of the open street. Coming face to face with those three was not a situation he wanted to deal with. He followed the retreating back inside the nearby shop that smelt oddly of ink and mold. He hated the smell of books, almost as much as he hated reading them. "I'll stand over here."

"Kay," she gave him a smile feeling a bit guilty about taking her frustration out on him. The man was only following orders, not here to personally torture her. Getting something to read would be a way to help pass the time while on board the lonesome ship. If she had no idea what she wanted or where she wanted to be, there was bound to be some kind of information on this island that the captain was seeking. What kind of place did he expect her to lead them too? Her hunch was that it had nothing to do with jewels or riches. The lust she had seen in his eyes had nothing to do with monetary gain. Something else had to be there. Where could she find information about this island? There wasn't much time to completely scout the many rows, leaving only one option. To ask about it. The only person in the place was a wizened old man with glasses and a bad beard.

"Excuse me," Nami caught his attention, bringing the beady grey eyes up from the open book on the desk. The look on his face was first of appreciation, then it turned to something akin to scornful. Probably didn't think she knew how to read unless it was in some kind of catalog. "I'm looking for a certain book, actually any book you might have with any information pertaining to an island."

"I see and what island might you be searching for?" The professor removed the spectacles to give her another lookover. "If you're looking for a good place to get a pedicure, try Madam Dame's three streets over."

"No thanks, my gay boyfriend did them just the other day so I'm good." What a jerk! If she didn't want to cause a disturbance, the umbrella would have taken a liking to his balding scalp. "I'm looking for information about the Island of Eura."

"Eura, huh? What the hell for?" Getting no response, he leant forward towards her. With a finger, he beckoned her forward. "I won't answer that because you seem like a decent enough person. Wherever you heard that name, just put it out of that little mind of yours. Nothing ever comes from wanting to know of that place."

"Really?" Now she was really curious about it. A line of sweat appeared across the man's brow at the questioning. What about the island could make him nervous? Was it haunted? Was it being ruled by an insane doctor set on world domination? "No books on it?"

"No, so get out of my shop." The old man crossed his arms to reinstate that he had nothing to sell her.

"I can't believe we missed her! Are you sure it was her, Chopper?" Usopp groaned in aggravation as the island became smaller in the distance. What were the chances of running into someone that looked exactly like Nami? The reindeer was close to tears after hours of searching and finding clues as to what this look-alike had been doing on the island.

"It was Nami!" Chopper was positive that it was their navigator. He wouldn't be fooled by someone pretending to be her, not now. The tattoo, the face, the smell and the voice; it was her. No one could mimic all those things perfectly.

"Right, which direction did the old man say to head in?" Luffy didn't care if there was a slight chance that it might not be her. It was all they had to go on after all this time. This was the hope they had been longing to find. Something to give them a reason to keep searching for her. They would keep moving forward until they had her back. After all this time, she'd been so close, yet still far away. He wouldn't give into the despair or the anger.

"North-east, eight to ten days if there are no problems." Robin took a seat at the table next to the sulking cook. The three were blaming themselves for not finding the other girl before she left the island. It had taken some searching but several of the shop owners had come in contact with someone fitting the same exact description of the one their doctor had seen. Their last stop had been a book store where the man had informed them that she had stopped inside to ask for a particular book and had been told to leave. What they got from the interaction was that this Nami was traveling with a pirate crew. She was also looking for an island. With a bit of persuading from their captain the man had told them what they needed to do. The Island of Eura was what she'd been asking about. The island wasn't that far from their current location. "I'm more concerned about this island where they may be headed to. I'm sure I've read something about it recently."

"Like why did that old bastard insist that it was a waste of time to try finding the damn thing. More or less said it was impossible to find it but told us which direction to sail." Trembling fingers lit the end of the cigarette. Sanji wanted to kick something and the damn shitty swordsman was standing too far away. He'd hit Robin in the process so taking his anger out on the idiot was out of the question. So damn close and she had slipped from their fingers again. One could only imagine what she was going through with a bunch of dirty, untrustworthy assholes. Why the hell was she with them? And why didn't she know Chopper? "What the fuck is going on?"

"I'm sure he said that it was a waste of time because we couldn't get to it, not that we wouldn't find it." Robin corrected him before reaching over to reclaim the thick leather bound book she had been recently sifting through the last few days. It had been picked up at the last island because the title had caught her attention. Tales of Old, The Forgotten New Sea. "We should be more worried about why she didn't seem to recognize the good doctor."

Robin ignored the many reasons being tossed around as to the reason why. No one was willing to say that she didn't recognize him because she didn't know him. It would be painful for them all to discover that this wasn't their navigator. More so for the three that were bearing the most guilt and heartache. Her gaze shifted to her own source of comfort these days. The large cyborg was leaning back, trying to add his own opinion to the conversation. It saddened her that it had taken their nakama being lost for him to come around. Naturally, her relationship with the cook had already come to an end by that point. Franky had finally come clean about his reasons for his cold behavior where she was concerned. Being a cyborg, their new relationship wouldn't be the same as one she'd have with a normal human male but she had assured him that it didn't matter. Leaving the navigating to him and Usopp, she decided to figure out how she knew that name.

"Does it really matter?" The swordsman clenched his fist, resisting the urge to shut them up. Who cared how she had managed to lose her memories? They could deal with that as soon as they got her back. A head injury would mean they could do nothing but let them return on their own, if they ever did. They should be figuring out how to find that ship and kill the ones holding her.

"Of course it does, you shitty swordsman. It doesn't matter if we find Nami if she doesn't WANT to return. Think about it," Sanji stood so quickly, the chair toppled backwards. He slammed his palms onto the table, making the book Robin was flipping through bounce. "If she doesn't remember us then all she knows are the jerks that have her. Do you really think she is going to walk away from people she knows for those she can't remember? She'll stay where the familiar is, where she feels safest."

"Just because she knows them doesn't mean she is safe!" Zoro was all for the shouting match. He realized that getting her to come back with no memory would be tricky. But there was no way these assholes were decent people. Not from what they'd heard about them from the one stop on that island. That crew was trouble and she was in the middle of it. "If she doesn't want to come, we take her by force."

"What?! You can't be serious!" Usopp couldn't believe they were fighting over this. "Listen, I know we all want Nami back but we can't force her. Besides, I'm sure the moment she sees us again her memories will return."

"Not necessarily," Franky kept his gaze from following the nimble fingers flipping through the book. Whenever his Robin was onto something, it was best to let her do her thing. "Seeing Chopper didn't jar anything so we can only assume that her seeing anyone else will have the same undesired effect. Sure, we're her nakama but none of us had a deeper relationship with her."

"He's right," Chopper pouted but almost all eyes turned to him. "We're her friends and nakama but maybe that won't be enough. I saw her eyes, there was no hint of recognition in them. I was a total stranger. So we can only assume that if she were to see any of you, at most, we could hope for a slight recognition but not enough to bring back her memories. It'd be different if it were someone that had something like the relationship between Franky and Robin or the one Luffy had with his brothers."

Luffy digested the information about two of his nakama, finally having someone else bring it up. The two were very secretive and he really didn't want to know the details of their physical relationship. That was between them and had nothing to do with him. While he nor one of the others had managed to begin something deeper with Nami, she was special to them. "I don't want to hear any of that. We're family and Nami needs us. I agree with Zoro on this one. If we can't stir her memories, then we take her by force. Whatever it takes to get her away from that crew."

"THIS IS BAD!" Robin swallowed the bile that rose in her throat. This was the reason she had skipped over reading anything further on the island. If that crew was trying to get to this island, getting their navigator's memories back would be the least of their worries. "I don't understand. Why would they be searching for this island? Getting to it isn't possible and they'll die if we don't stop them."

"It isn't entirely impossible." All heads snapped in the direction of his voice. Law had been curious as to why no one had bothered to greet them or acknowledge their arrival. The entire crew had been deep in conversation without a single person on lookout. Having emerged next to the ship, they had been able to sneak up on the Sunny but that didn't account for him being able to board without anyone noticing. His gaze swept over the eight, minus their navigator. He assumed it meant they still hadn't been able to locate her. Not that he hadn't done his own small part of investigating. Which was the reason for his visit. "One can get to it if they have the key."

"Key or not, no one can use it." Robin replied, feeling the fear settle in her gut like a lump of coal. This pirate crew had their nakama leading them to an island that would kill them before they could think of anchoring on the shores. They would die and if they didn't hurry, Nami would die with them.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Zoro wanted to know why the surgeon would just show up without being invited. What was he doing here? Now wasn't the time for this. "You two seem to know something, spit it out."

"Torao, you're here!" Luffy was glad to see their ally. If Robin was worried about this new island then they might need the help. They knew nothing about this crew and getting Nami back safe was their top priority.

"You said to find you if I heard anything about your navigator, Strawhat-ya." Law dropped his feet onto the deck. The yellow sub was already submerging underneath, leaving him to discuss what he'd discovered on the way here. "I take it from the direction, you are heading to Eura."

"We are and will one of you two tell us what is up with this damn island?" Sanji ran a hand through his hair, the impatience getting to him. What was so terrible about this place? It couldn't be any worse than any other island they had come across during their years together. How much danger was his Nami-swan in?

"I'll tell them." Robin could only tell them what she knew. The information on the island wasn't very detailed, for many reasons. "The Island of Eura, also known as The Weeping Island. It is surrounded in mystery because no one has been able to set foot on it for over two centuries. If a ship gets close, they make sure to stay away. Some even say that it is haunted because of it's appearance. The temperature around the place gets strangely colder as you near. It doesn't matter if the weather is sunny and hot, the dramatic temperature drop is the first sign that you are getting too close. From the distance you can see why it got the name. Without a cloud in the sky, the rain constantly falls from overhead."

Law scoffed at that explanation. That was putting it wrong, "Don't forget to mention that the rain comes from the ground. Going into the sky before it mysteriously disappears, hence the island is weeping. Why not inform them why no ship can get close?"

"I was getting to that," Robin closed the book. "The rain actually doesn't disappear, it falls onto the outskirts, creating a perimeter around the island. A barrier that destroys anything that comes close. They say it is crying to keep anyone from disturbing the dead. The sorrow of the former queen is preventing those that would desecrate the tomb of her husbands far away."

"Husbands? How many did she have?" Usopp shrieked the question. How many had this queen put in the grave? How sorrowful could she be if she had more than two?

"Well, the tale of this island can be found under The Four Saints of Eura." Robin made a mental note to dig out the book that had a small section pertaining to these four. "But the legend goes that this queen was loved by all those in the kingdom of Eura. So much that she eventually took four husbands to her side. One was her advisor and strategist. This man being said to be so cunning and brilliant that the kingdom repelled more than a hundred invasions with him at her side. The second was the commander of her army, a knight of great honor. The third was her personal bodyguard, a man that had taken over her safety from a young age. The last was a childhood friend that eventually took over her role of supervising the people."

"Four husbands? How did she manage to get anything done?" Sanji lit up another, waiting to hear exactly what this had to do with Nami and the crew deciding to go to island. If there was treasure in those tombs, that could explain why she was going but was it worth the danger?

"They took turns? Ouch, that hurt!" Luffy rubbed the swollen lump on his head. That hadn't been called for and Robin was mean. It had been a simple question. Not like he was questioning the queen's reasoning or her morals. He was sure it was possible for the woman to love more than one person.

There was no way she would grace that question with an answer. The fact that the queen could handle four men at once showed how strong of a person she was. It was hard to maintain making one happy, to make four happy took a lot of dedication and patience. Robin continued the tale for the others. "The kingdom thrived under the four kings and they soon became known as the Four Saints because of how loved they became with the people as well. The love and dedication they showed their queen isn't what marked their place in history. It was what followed not long after ten years of peace. The queen had a sibling, a brother born out of wedlock which made his claim to the throne void."

"Let me guess, he tried to kill her to get the throne." Usopp had it all figured out. History was filled with wars over a throne or some title.

"No, he didn't just want the throne, he wanted the queen." That got their attention, so she tried her best to explain why the island was considered cursed. "No one knows when he became obsessed with her, nor did it matter that he already had a wife of his own. An arranged marriage that had already resulted in a child. The queen too hadn't long given birth to a child when the brother made his move. Seeing his chance of claiming her for his own, he kidnaped the queen and her newborn child. The story goes that he drug them to some place he had hidden away on the island. He immediately had someone waiting on them, to whom he gave the unwanted child too. With the baby gone, he set his goal on forcing her to accept him. Unfortunately, it took the four too long to get to her. Finding her beaten and raped by the man she had trusted as family, they became enraged."

"Did they kick his ass?" Luffy hoped all four of them took turns with the sick bastard. One didn't treat family that way, especially your sister. How could someone rape and hurt someone they loved? That wasn't love and anyone capable of doing that, didn't deserve to be called family.

"No, he killed them all." Robin smirked at the shocked gasps of horror. "Expecting me to say that they rushed in and saved the day? Sorry, this is known as a tragedy. The royal family was known for it's ability with what we now call Haki. In the end he was defeated by the queen, who lost all self control at losing everything that she loved. The island we are heading to is the outcome of that rage. She destroyed it all, taking his life wasn't enough. The Anguished Queen, the woman who destroyed her own kingdom because of a broken heart. That is where the story ends, so your guess is as good as mine about what really happened. I would say that in the end, she lost herself and her home suffered for it. Of course, days after those that survived the destruction were gone, the rains started."

"Okay, so why can't we get to the island and why is Nami in danger?" Luffy got it, the woman flipped and killed everyone. How could rain keep anyone from getting to the island?

"The rain is infused with haki. Anything that comes near gets torn apart and destroyed. There is no explanation how it was done or who is really responsible but that is where it got the name and it's reputation." Robin brought a hand up to swat away the trail of smoke that sifted under her nose. "There is a rumor that there is an actual path that will take someone through the rain safely but you have to be able to use the key. However, no one knows what the key is."

Law adjusted his position, straightening to get the kink out of his spine. He hadn't stopped to listen to a story. His information was based on fact, sort of. "Well, it seems there is someone that has the key and has the only person alive that can use it. Would you like to hear what I've uncovered by accident?"

"What did you hear? And you never said why you were here, Torao." Luffy turned his attention to the surgeon who had shown up unexpectedly. More than six months had passed since he'd last seen the other captain. Several of their allies had promised to keep an eye and ear out for anything that might help them find Nami.

"I came to tell you what I discovered, Strawhat-ya. If what I heard is true then we are going after that crew." Law didn't want them to think he was going to help out because of some act of kindness or obligation. It was all about stopping this unknown captain from doing something that would destroy everything they were about. "Rumor going around, that a certain captain knows the truth about the island's history. This queen didn't kill the brother, only managed to unman him before losing her mind. This woman's haki was extremely powerful, she used it to make the island thrive. The weather, down to the vegetation, she literally became part of the land she ruled. Unfortunately for her, she was too kind and that is what allowed this brother the opportunity to kill her lovers. That knowledge is what drove her mad and she blamed herself for their deaths. The island's defenses is said to be her will continuing and her remorse never ceasing after all this time."

"So, what happened to the brother?" Robin asked, seeing as this new spin put him alive after the destruction.

"He fled the island with the family he detested. Which leads to the rumor that he took something that belonged to the queen with him. This treasure is supposed to lead the way to Eura. The key to getting past it's defenses and getting to the kingdom within the tombs of the four kings." Law hadn't been able to discover what this key was exactly but he didn't think it was in the shape of an actual key. It was something else, " We got this information from a drunk pirate that had been boasting about his captain having the way to this treasure. That they were going to be rich and their captain was going to be the next king of the pirates. The man claimed that there was also a weapon buried with the four, one that was powerful enough to conquer the sea."

"Wow, really?" That would be so cool to see. Luffy wanted to see this weapon. Was something really that strong? Was it a monster or a cyborg like Franky or what the world government was creating? "Is there really such a weapon?"

"Don't know but what I do know is that this key isn't much good without someone being able to use it." Law knew the next part would piss the crew off. After hearing this tidbit of information, he had killed the man and had left to track the Strawhat Pirates down. "This captain, Les Morte, claims to not only have the key but the one person alive to be able to use it. The great-granddaughter of the child that was snatched out of the queen's arms that day. This descendant being none other than the navigator that was recently stolen from this very ship, Nami-ya."

"What?! That's why he took Nami?" Luffy shouted, not at the surgeon but his voice rose in octave hearing the news. That was the reason this captain found a way to take Nami from them? Because he wanted her to use this key? "I'm going to kick his ass."

"I say we kill him," Zoro didn't think the man deserved such a light sentence. They should gut him for what he did and was still doing. Anything to repay the torture they'd been put through during these last months. For thinking he'd get away with taking Nami from them. They had no idea what he really wanted or what had occurred while she'd been missing. If the man had so much as put a finger on her, Luffy kicking his ass would be the start of his pain.

"I suggest we get to this island before they do. Either to stop them from getting our navigator killed or from getting their hands on a potential weapon." Robin wasn't too sure about the weapon being on the island but there had to be some treasure. The sentimental reasons behind leaving the place alone was enough to make her want to stop them. They needed to get to this place before they lost the other woman for good. "Tagging along, Surgeon?"

A/N: Thanks for reading, please review. Also, I have watched the subbed and dubbed on the episodes, got a mix of both. And how everyone refers to everyone is different depending on which version you are watching sometimes. Law for examples doesn't add the -ya from what I've noticed, in the english dub. However, cause I think it's cute, I will most likely use it. Also, Robin does normally refer to people by their status, such as captain or doctor, you get it. But if I make any mistakes I apologize.
