(Side Notes:
To Thomas Drovin: Thanks for reading the first 6 chapters, mate. The trunks are to be explained later, so keep reading. I was going to have Sanji cover his left eye because he had a long scar on it and he didn't want anyone to see it; there was a flashback on the Baratie that had Sanji juggling knives and one knife cut his left eye I was going to make, but I edited it out.)
Chapter 9: Pranks first, then haunts
A full moon tonight, you know what that means...prank time! (wolf style) Once everyone was asleep, Vivi, Nami, and I went to the boy's room. Nami and Vivi took everyone's pillow and stained it with my blood while I switched to werewolf point, finally.
I was the same height as Sanji, my feet and arms were a bit longer, along with my teeth. My hat had ear holes for my ears while my pants had a hole for my tail. Nami and Vivi came on deck with me and helped pour more of my blood on my hands, feet, and mouth, then they put on their old, old clothes that they didn't wear on. We put blood stains on it too to give out more of an effect.
"Ready?" I asked, a smile across my face.
"I don't see why we have to do this," Vivi said. "Is-"
"Don't worry, I need to get back at Zolo anyway," Nami said. "Let's get started."
I pictured the scene when Lupin transformed into a werewolf, I screamed,"Oh, my god! You guys better run!"
"Help! Please!" Nami yelled, when Luffy and the crew (Loki and Carue were just asleep) came out, Nami and I hid in the crow's nest while Vivi was in our room, screaming. They rushed there to see that we (the girls) had made the place a wreck, Carue and Loki were playing dead there. Vivi came out leading the crew with her, she said,"She's got Nami!"
"Who?!" Sanji said, concerned and all, that was our cue. Nami and I jumped from the crow's nest, she and Vivi screamed again. I gave a long, loud howl before advancing at Zolo, who cowered since I was bigger and he left his swords in the room.
"What the heck is that?!" he yelled at me, I tried to hold back a smile as I snarled.
"A werewolf!" Chopper and Usopp screamed. "Someone, get something made of silver! Light a fire, anything!"
"I'll get the necklace I bought for Nami, it's made of silver!" Sanji said, he was about to run until I went in front of him. I roared and he cowered over to Nami. "On second thought, I didn't get her anything."
Chopper and Usopp were running around the ship with me at their tails, then I charged at Luffy, who joined the two. We ran around until Chopper flew into one of Nami's mikan trees while Usopp barricade himself in Sanji's kitchen. Luffy shot himself into the crow's nest, Sanji stood in front of Nami and Vivi. Zolo, who tried to get away from me and fell over the railings, yet he hanged onto it.
I advanced on Sanji and bore my fangs at him.
"...gr..."
"..."
"...argh..."
"..."
"...heh..."
"...?!..."
"Heh, heh, heh."
"What the-?!" Sanji said.
Nami, Vivi, and I burst into tears after holding back our smiles for a while and laughed hard.
"MY GOD!"
"DID YOU SEE THEIR FACES?!"
"MAN, THAT WAS TOATALLY WORTH IT!" Nami laughed, clutching her stomach, everybody surrounded us.
"What's this about?!" Zolo bellowed, I switched to human point and continued to laugh. "And why are our pillows covered in blood?!"
"I-I w-want t-t-to g-get back a-a-a-at you g-guys!" I said as I gasped for air.
"For what?! We didn't do anything!" they yelled at us.
I stopped laughing, and gave a 'thinking' look, I said,"Oh, that's right...people scream, I laugh, same thing."
"Uh, no it's not!" Usopp said.
"Wait, guys, look there," I said, I pointed at an island that appeared a mile away from us. "Nami, what does the Grand Compass say?"
"It's pointing there," Nami said, we all looked at the island as though it was something special. "But it looks like that place hasn't been inhabited for years, the port looks burnt down."
"Let's go! There might be something worth looking for!" Luffy said, we made port then walked around. People who had their windows open in shops and homes closed them as we moved along. Loki, who cleaned himself, walked besides me. "Man, tough crowd."
I paused, then something clicked in my mind, Lake Tahoe. The buildings looked the same back in town, there was a large mansion up ahead, it looked like my home. Sanji asked,"Is there anything wrong?"
"No," I said, I went over to the mansion and knocked on the door. No answer, I checked my pockets and, oddly, found the house key, I placed it through the lock. ⌠I swear, this place is like the real world."
"I thought you never lived here," Vivi said, Carue stood behind her.
"I know, but my house key fits in the lock...might as well go inside," I said, we went inside the place. The lights were off, but I found a switch. The floors were shining like new, but the walls were torn in places, yet they were being repaired.
"W-we split up," Usopp said.
"Don't," I warned, if I see one more familiar thing from my world, I'm going to flip out. "This is similar to my old home, so that means..."
"What?" Nami asked.
"This place is haunted," I said. "I'm guessing this, but, is there any island called Fannette Island in the Grand Line?"
"No, why?" Nami said.
"Strange," I murmured. "That could only mean one thing, some one's trying to send me back by using my home. Or, their trying to kill me by using illusions and confusing me."
"What are you murmuring about?" Chopper said.
"Actually, let's split up," I said. "Who wants to take the kitchen and dinning area, it's down the hall to your right?"
"I will!" Luffy said.
"I'll go with him to keep him out of trouble," Loki said, they went to the right hallway and disappeared in the dark.
"The office or garden, Chopper?" I said.
"Garden, it doesn't sound bad," he said.
"Yeah, I'll go with him," Usopp said, they went to the back of the mansion.
"Nami, Vivi, go back to the ship," I said, Nami protested,"Why?"
"Someone has to stay and watch the ship," I shrugged, they, along with Carue, walked out the door. "That leaves me, Sanji, and Zolo...who wants to go through my house alone?"
"Me, I don't believe in ghosts anyway," Zolo said, he went up the stairs and turned left to a random place. That leaves me with everyone's favorite chainsmoker, Sanji...whoo...yay...
