"Nani!?" Nami and Sanji yelled in unison.
"Yay!" Ussopp and Chopper cheered. Robin smiled at the two then looked up and Nami.
"We can't vacation here!" Nami shouted at her idiot of a captain.
"Why not?" Luffy asked.
"Luffy we can't stay on an island that long, not to mention an island full of people."
"Why is that a problem?" Luffy continued not understanding what was so wrong with staying.
"Luffy the marines will find us."
"No they won't." Luffy grinned and gave a low chuckle. "The islands not even on the map or seen from the regular path. They marines can't find us." He laughed again as Nami thought about it. He was right but she wouldn't admit it nor did she want to be proven wrong. Her prayers were answered by Jessie coming in the conversation.
"But this ship is quite large, not to mention it holds one of the governments' most wanted crew. Marines, from what I heard, don't stop on uninhabitated islands. Unless they're draw to it by a ship. If they were to get off the path just a little they could possibly see this ship and come to find you." Jessie stated. Luffy frowned as Nami nodding like she knew it all along.
"But Jessie you already agreed that it would be ok." Luffy pouted.
"Wait till I'm done." She scowled Luffy. He sunk in his seat a little while she turned to the rest. "This island has gone undisturbed for a long time and I don't want to change that. If the marines came they could get the technology on this island and that wouldn't go good for the pirates or revolutions." She frowned. "But we can get away from that problem by hiding by the winter side. There are no places to doc k there but we can drop anchor and row the rest of the way in. You will most likely want to stay closer to the ship and there are cabins out there."
"Cabins?" Nami asked.
"Buildings were you stay on vacation." Luffy stated feeling smart.
"I know what a cabin is Luffy." She replied angrily hitting him over the head. Luffy just pouted as Jessie cleared her throat to gain their attention. They looked her again as she smiled.
"You can rent a log, small, two person cabins. They have fireplaces and food already stocked in there. Even though they don't sound too comfy they truly are. When you eat something it is replace by the next day and you get snowmobiles for transportation."
"What's a snowmobile?" Zoro asked.
"It like…well…how do I explain this…..it moves over the snow like…..not exactly like a ship….but….it moves over it so you don't have to walk through the snow. It can go up to 100 mph and all you have to do is press the throttle on the right side to make it go and the one on the left to stop it."
"Like a waver." Nami called.
"Sure let's go with that." Jessie answered unsure to what a waver is.
"So cool!" Luffy said excitedly. Jessie just smiled.
"So how much do these cabins cost?" Nami asked not wanted to give up any more money.
"Very little." Jessie replied with a sly grin. "Trust me." Zoro looked at her cautiously. He didn't like that look.
"Good. I guess we could use a vacation." Nami said in return. Luffy grinned and called for everyone to move ship over to the winter side.
"Nami do you mind if I borrow some winter clothes?" Jessie asked. Nami just smiled and nodded some. "Thanks." She said relieved that she didn't have to waste some money on a clothes she mostly likely wouldn't use again.
"Miss entertainer." Robin called to Jessie from behind her book. She turned to the raven haired women confused. No one else seemed to notice but Robin just wanted to talk to her because she motioned for her to come over. "I got an experiment I want to try. Do you want to help me?"
Jessie's eyes lit up as she nodded. Robin motioned her closer and whispered into her ear.
An hour later they made it to the other side of the island. Jessie packed some of Nami's winter clothes into a suit case as everyone else packed their own. The ship stopped and the anchor was lowered.
"Oi!" Franky called to everyone. "We are here." Franky picked up his bag as everyone went down to the soldier dock system. "Ok everyone listen up." Franky's voice sounded or the intercom. "Nami, Robin, and Jessie are to take Mini Merry and the rest have the row boat I loaded into soldier dock system 4. You guys will have to wait for me to get on the boat though before you go too far." Everyone went to their places, Nami and Robin to Mini Merry with smiles, Jessie was just confused what a Mini Merry was, and the guys went to their rowboat with frowns.
"Ok Ready." Franky called.
"Aye." The rest called.
"Ok soldier dock system 2 go Mini Merry." Franky called as the numbers on the side changed then opened releasing a little boat that resembled the Going Merry. The girls sat on the boat with their luggage and started to head to the island. Franky watched them go then turned the reel again. "Soldier dock system 4 rowboat." The door opened and the guys started to row the boat out, going much slower than the girls. Zoro and Sanji were rowing as Luffy stood in the front with his exploring pose. Franky closed the dock system and went to the edge to wait for them to come.
"Haha, we be treasure hunting." Luffy teased trying to get rid of the frowns that now threatened his crew's faces.
"Shut up." They all yelled in unison.
"Oi oi, can't you go any faster." Franky called. He jumped down onto the little boat making it to go off balance, causing Luffy to lose his balance and fall on top of Zoro.
"Sorry Zoro." Luffy chirped with a small laugh.
"Why does it always have to be me." Zoro mumbled angrily in return.
"See you later boys." Nami called waving at them before taking off.
"This sucks." Luffy whined as he watched the girls go. "There beating us." Everyone sweatdroped.
"Oi Franky." Ussopp started as the cyborg turned to him. "Can't you use the air pressure thing to make us go faster." Franky smiled and nodded. He went to the back of the boat as Zoro and Sanji pulled the ores in. He sat down on the back and let his butt hang over the edge. It inflated quickly as everyone panicked.
"Cup do…" He started then released the air causing them to blast forward. "Blast."
"Why that end." Ussopp yelled as they passed by the girls.
"Gross." Jessie cried as the girls plugged their nose.
"Chow." Luffy called waving his arms laughing up a fit that is until they hit shore. Not being able to stop themselves the ship ran into the shore ejecting them all into the snow. The girls laughed as they stopped Mini Merry at shore and got off. The guys popped out of the snow covered in white powder.
"That's what you get for trying to beat us." Nami stated as they walked over the guys and towards the renting areas.
"Ya but we still won." Luffy called after them shaking his fist in the air. Sanji grabbed Luffy's shoulder shaking his head.
"Just let it go." He said as a he stood all the way and chased after the girls. Zoro got up next and helped the rest up.
"We better go and make sure we aren't paired up with someone like ero-cook." Zoro muttered as Jessie let out a giggle. They all followed till they found a big log building that said 'lodging.' Jessie continued in as the rest sat outside looking at the building.
"Are you coming." Jessie called from the building making the rest jump at the sound of her voice. They all followed her in and looked around. There were dead animal's on the walls, animal skins, wooden benches, and old folk art paintings.
"What's with the animals?" Ussopp asked turning to Luffy who was poking a dead, stuffed bear that was about 1 foot taller than him. "Luffy don't touch them." Ussopp yelled.
"Don't worry all those animals are dead and stuffed."
"Why would you have so many." Nami asked staring at a stuffed rabbit.
"People use them as trophies to show off their hunting skills and as decorations in cabins. We will probably find some in our cabins." Jessie stated ringing the bell at the counter.
"Why does this rabbit have antlers?" Sanji asked.
"I've never seen a rabbit like that." Robin replied as Jessie kept ringing the bell.
"They are glued on for fun." Jessie replied hitting the bell faster noticing no one was coming. Luffy watched her as her face consorted to anger. Pretty soon everyone was watching her. She kept getting faster and faster till she was pounding it making it cry out as if it was breaking. "O come on how long do I have to ring." She growled and pounded it harder. "Get the hell out her!" She yelled as everyone sweatdropped. She turned noticing that they were watching her. Luffy tilted his head confusion with a slight frown. "What I have anger problems sometimes." She turned away mumbling.
She stood patiently for a max of 10 seconds before pounding the bell again as the rest of them fell over.
"Coming." Came a voice with a cheap French accent. Jessie ignored him and kept hitting the bell. A tall man with a curved mustache and black suit came out. "Hello how may I help you." He asked with a high squeaky tone. He stared at Jessie as she continued to hit the bell. He coughed to get her attention without success. She brought her hand up to hit it but he grabbed it pulling it to him and out of her reach. Stopping her hand before it hit the table and stared at the spot the bell once was.
The man coughed this time succeeding to get Jessie's attention. She looked up and scowled at him. "How may I help you?"
"What took you so long?" She asked in a low quiet tone as everyone fell over again.
"I'm so sorry, I was making a business call."
"I bet you were." Jessie muttered. "Your breath just says that." He put his hand over his mouth. "Next time don't smoke on the job, now I would like some cabins."
"Ok how many do you have?"
"Hmm.." She put her hand on her chin thinking. She turned and pointing to each member counting in her head. "We have 8 people and a pet reindeer."
"Ok that will be 4 rooms."
"Ok I will like cabins 1, 2, 3, and 4."
"Those rooms are all the way on the other side of the trees are you sure?"
"Yep. We will rent 4 snowmobiles."
"Alright." He said turning to grab the keys.
"Why so far away?" Nami asked.
"Those are the best rooms and we won't have to deal with this guy that much." She motioned to the man.
"Ok here are your keys for the cabins and snowmobiles." Setting them down he turned on his heel and heading to the back.
"Walking ashtray." Jessie muttered and turned to the rest just as Sanji lit a cigarette. "Ew Sanji." Jessie whined. He turned to her and smiled. "I'm not staying with him." She muttered as his smile fell.
"Okay we should probably pair up." Nami started. "Robin and I will…"
"Sorry navigator-san I'm staying with Franky this time." She smiled standing next to the smiling Franky.
"Ok you get room 4."Jessie called tossing the keys to Franky.
"Ok well then Jessie and I will take…"
"Sorry Nami I'm taking Zoro as my roommate." She smiled and wrapped her arm around his.
"What I never agreed to that." Zoro growled ripping his arm away from her. "Luffy and me always stay together."
"The way you talk it sounds like you and Luffy are a couple." Jessie stated as Zoro clenched his teeth. "Is there something going on that you two are keeping from the rest of us."
"Hell no!" He yelled in defense.
"Then why do you have to stay with him all the time." She grabbed his arm again. He just growled and turned away knowing he was beat. Jessie smiled and took the keys of room 2.
"What Jessie."Nami whined.
"Sorry." Nami let out a sigh and turned to Ussopp.
"Nami-swan I'll stay with you." Sanji cooed. Nami cringed slightly at the thought.
"I'll be your roommate Sanji." Luffy called knowing Sanji would be making breakfast for him. Ussopp cringed and quickly grabbed Sanji.
"No he's staying with me." Ussopp called. Jessie tossed Ussopp, Chopper, and Sanji the keys to room 3.
"No I have to be with Nami-swan." Sanji whined.
"To late your with them." Jessie stated as Luffy pouted in disappointment.
"But then who's staying with me?" Nami asked.
"It looks like you and Luffy get cabin 1 congrats." Jessie said as she tossed the keys to her.
"Nani? Hold on I never agreed to this."
"Yes but we only have one cabin left leaving only you two to stay in it. Have fun." Jessie giggled as she grabbed Zoro's arm and headed out the door. Luffy came up behind Nami laughing slightly.
"You better behave." Nami yelled hitting him over the head and walking out.
I'm sorry I'm taking so long with my chapters I got a lot of school work and I am hanging out with my friends more.
