When they finally made it to whisky peak Shura stayed on the ship.
"Come on Shura! They have meat here! MEAT!" Luffy shouted for Shura to get off the ship. But Shura only lowered herself closer to the ship. "I don't care how much meat they have. When the undead come out of their graves I'm not going to be on this island." Shura muttered remembering the giant cactuses were actually really big hills with a bunch of graves on them. If the undead were to rise out of their graves Shura was sure as hell she didn't want to be on that island.
Luffy stared at Shura strangely as she shook with fear muttering things about undead and zombies. Then he shrugged heading off to the party leaving the newest member of the straw hat crew behind.
"They'll be fine, it will all go according to the story line I'm sure of it." Shura muttered still creeped out by the graves on the hills. Shura had half expected Usopp to stay on the ship, but she knew deep down that the coward wouldn't pass up a chance to talk out of his ass. Dear Lord, she hated Usopp so much he reminded her of her asshole uncle who took her into a snake exhibit when she was six. Shura then shook her head shuddering trying to block out the memory of the snakes.
Shura then began to wonder why the hell Luffy would even care that she was on the ship in the first place. Seriously, he should be more concerned on what type of meat he was eating than rather taking his time and running back to the ship to trying to get Shura to join in on the party.
"Ugh the anime was right; it is so freaking hard to tell what the hell he's thinking." Shura groaned aloud to herself falling backwards onto the deck of the ship, and then her complaints about her new captain were cut off by a large explosion. Shura sat up quickly and stared into town.
"That isn't right… there shouldn't be an explosion so soon." Shura said concerned then jumped off the boat heading into town.
She hid out of sight to see that the fight with Zoro and the other bounty hunters started early. Much to Shura's surprise it seemed that Zoro was… Losing.
'What? That isn't right! In the anime he kicks their ass! Why is it not going with the story line!' Shura exclaimed in her thoughts shocked with the outcome of things and then smacked her forehead in exasperation. Even though it might sound crazy it just hit her that the plot might want her to interact somehow. 'B-But I hate manual labor!' Shura groaned in her head before deciding to remove her sword from her belt.
Zoro was being cornered by the sheer amount of bounty hunters, there was a lot more than what he had expected. Yeah sure he could handle three or four hundred but seven hundred on this tiny little island. Zoro couldn't help but wonder where all of them lived!
Just when things seemed grim and it was the end for the green haired bounty hunter then in came the hero to save the day – err sort of.
"Here I come to save the day… and shit." Shura grumbled annoyed with having to do something for this part of the ark, why couldn't it been like the Laboon or Apis arks were she was a perfectly useless character! But no she had to save that stupid stingy asshole of a sword's m-.
"STOP THINKING ALOUD IN THRID PERSON AND HELP ME OUT ALREADY!" Zoro shouted exasperated with Shura and wondering why the hell she was thinking aloud in third person.
"Fine! But I better get something in return for this asshole!" Shura growled before the bounty hunters regain their wits about them from laughing at the two and went to attack Shura. Shura was then dog piled onto by countless bounty hunters and Zoro groaned aloud exasperated.
"Just when I think there is some use for her she lets me do-." Zoro groaned aloud before there was a large explosion sending the bounty hunters off into the wild blue yonder much like team rocket. Zoro just stared at the large cater in awe.
"Now tell Daddy you love 'em." Shura spoke from behind Zoro grinning smugly; Zoro turned around and stared at Shura in a new light. "Yes I know, you want to be my little bitc-." Shura spoke but was cut off by Mr. Eight attacking her with his gay attack that Shura didn't remember or even care what it was called.
Shura growled in pain when she was slammed against the wall. "You little bitch! That's it your ass is mine." Shura growled standing up then attacking Mr. Eight before he could react. Unfortunately for poor Mr. Eight Shura discarded her sword. Seeing that she had lessons from Lady Tsunade back in the Naruto world well he might have had more of a chance of living with the sword in Shura's hand.
"Mr. Eight!" Miss Wednesday exclaimed in shock as smoke kicked up from how hard Shura was punching him.
"YOU DO NOT INTURRUPT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BAD ASS SENTENCE!" Shura shouted at Mr. Eight as she punched him then got off of the poor man once she was done.
Then Shura charged after every other bounty hunter on the island with sheer epic awesomeness that would be told for centuries to come.
"I win~!" Shura sang now on the deck of the Mary Go as the Straw hat crew sailed away, Vivi frowned "I'm sorry for knocking her out after she beat up Mr. Eight it's just she could've killed every last one of us." Vivi spoke extremely worried for the girl's sanity as Shura mumbled in her sleep. "It's fine although I'm beginning to wonder why Luffy got her to join the crew in the first place." Nami replied calmly
Luffy who was watching Shura with much amusement laughed "I like having Shura has a nakama she's funny!" He said grinning making the others shake their heads. Miss All Sunday had just left and they were headed for little Garden.
"No watch out Sanji the lobsters will eat you!" Shura muttered drooling making Sanji squeal with delight because she was dreaming about him. "My sleeping beauty is dreaming about her prince! I must wake her up with a kiss~!" Sanji shouted dramatically in his usual way, then he leaned down to kiss Shura but fell back with Shura shot up colliding foreheads with Sanji.
"NO NOT THE EXPOLIVE TAGS JIRAIYA ANYTHING BUT THAT!" Shura screamed and then sat there for a moment as the others stared at Shura wondering what on earth she was talking about. "AHHHHHH! OH MY GOD! MY HEAD HURTS! IT HURTS SO MUCH! I NEED A DOCTOR!" Shura suddenly screamed after a few moments clutching her head where a large knot was and then she began to scream about her forehead
Everyone sighed annoyed with her as Luffy laughed loudly at Shura's reaction thinking she was just hilarious.
"SHUT UP BEFORE I GIVE YOU A REAL REASON TO YELL ABOUT YOUR HEAD!" Nami finally shouted causing Shura to shut up then glare at her "You. Are. Such. A. Angry. Bitch." Shura stated calmly only to earn yet another medication dose to the head for sleeping.
"NAMI!" Luffy yelled at the orange haired girl pouting he was just enjoying Shura being awake pulling her usual antics when Nami had to ruin all the fun. Nami glared at Luffy then turned away with a 'humph'.
Zoro sighed and folded his arms "Someone needs to take Shura to bed because we can't leave her like this out on the deck. Unless we want to hear her whine about having a cold." He spoke up and Sanji's eyes lit up "I'll take her!" He volunteered but was held back by Usopp.
"Oh no Sanji we're not going to let you do that. I'm not even sure what you'd do to her would be considered legal." Usopp said then did his captain pose "THAT IS WHY I CAPTIAN USOPP~! Vote for Zoro." He shouted then spoke the end of his statement.
"Why should I do it? Sanji volunteered!" Zoro shouted not liking the sound of having to carry Shura all the way back into her room and put her in her bed/couch. Usopp swatted his hand displeased with Zoro as he began to explain the whole reason why Shura was yet again knocked out was mostly his fault.
"She's not my responsibility!" Zoro shouted at Usopp who kept telling him he should do it as Sanji whined for him to be allowed to do it.
No one seemed to notice Luffy pick Shura up and carry her below deck. Unlike most would think, Shura doesn't really kick or punch when she's asleep she mostly mutters things when she has vivid dreams. So mostly right now she was pretty much dead to the world.
Luffy being Luffy had no trouble carrying the girl but however he was upset with Nami for hitting Shura like that. He couldn't quite put his finger on it (mostly because it was up his nose) but there was something he liked about Shura. Besides her being extremely funny when it came to fighting with the others.
When Luffy made it to Shura's room he went to set her down but Shura clung onto him. "Warm." Shura mumbled tightening her grip, for any normal person with normal bones Shura could've easily broke Luffy's collar bone from her grip. But Luffy was a rubber man so it was all good.
"Come on Shura let go!" Luffy grumbled trying to pull Shura off of him, now realizing how Shura felt the other day. Shura growled in her sleep and tightened her grip on Luffy making him feel a bit uncomfortable from her almost closing his air ways.
After about twenty minutes of fighting with Shura Luffy gave up. Deciding after much battle of their stubborn will, he rather breathe than not breathe. So out of exhaustion of fighting with Shura Luffy collapsed on the couch with Shura right beside him asleep.
Above deck about that time the other five realized that Luffy and Shura was gone.
"I hope he didn't fall off with Shura-san." Vivi said worriedly as Usopp made a comment about her now being worried for their safety.
Nami being rational went down below deck with the rest of the crew following to find the captain and Shura hanging half way off the couch/make shift bed fighting in their sleep.
"Shura I want food…" Luffy grumbled in his sleep, "Go get Sanji to do it lazy ass." Shura grumbled back punching Luffy in the face causing Luffy to punch back tiredly. Sanji sweat dropped at Shura's comment.
Vivi couldn't help but giggle at the scene. "Meat ~!" Luffy grumbled biting Shura's head while Shura punched him in the gut "Fucking zombie." She mumbled, the rest of the crew deciding it was best to leave the two questionably sane burnets alone and head off to bed themselves.
The next morning came and Shura moaned waking up feeling considerably much more warm than usual. In fact she didn't remember having such a nice pillow in her room. Shura opened up her eyes slowly when she heard her pillow snore loudly. She stared at Luffy's face seeing him dead asleep apparently also using Shura as a make shift pillow.
"That's not a pillow~" Shura sang giggling half asleep, besides agreeing to most anything you ask her to do Shura was always in a considerably good mood when she was half asleep after waking up by herself. "That's Luffy~!" Shura went on singing and then yawned and went back to sleep for a few minutes.
Elsewhere with Tashigi.
Tashigi thought she'd be happy to have the burden of Shura gone. But she wasn't it was only worse without her around. Smoker would try to drink after seeing or hearing anything that reminded him of Shura which would cause Tashigi to be mistaken for Shura and would only lead to very awkward moments for Tashigi.
She didn't even want to remember the time that Smoker actually admitted to her drunkenly that he missed Shura. But it was getting better… Sort of.
Right now Tashigi was kind of hiding from Smoker who was yet again drunk looking for Luffy thinking she was Shura being held captive by Luffy.
"COME ON OUT STRAW HAT RUFUS!" Smoker shouted thinking he had cornered Luffy to a show down, even though he had just called him the wrong name. Tashigi resisted the urge to smack her forehead in exasperation of her captain knowing that would only give anyway her position.
Up until now Tashigi didn't realize how much Shura carried on her shoulders being the center of Smoker's attention. Tashigi couldn't fathom how she got the energy to keep Smoker occupied like she did. But somehow Shura managed it with ease.
Tashigi's musings were caught short after Smoker beat a straw hat wearing broom stick senseless and the grown man started to cry drunkenly. Tashigi felt a bit bad for the captain so she came out from her hiding spot. "Captain Smoker? What's wrong?" She asked wondering why Smoker all of the sudden was crying his eyes out like a little kid who had just been told their dog died.
"I'm sorry Shura!" He wailed drunkenly, which was also quite humorous for those who had seen it as well as pathic. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you from Straw Cap Luffy!" He wailed grabbing Tashigi in a hug crying once again calling Luffy the wrong name. Tashigi frowned now seeing why Smoker was upset. She patted his back "There, There Captain Smoker. I'm sure Shura's fine she can take care of herself." She spoke trying to comfort him. Smoker then hiccupped loudly making Tashigi sweat drop he was like a lost puppy without Shura to chase around.
Back with Shura, Shura once again awoke quiet peacefully wondering what the extra source of warmth beside her was. When she opened her eyes she stared at Luffy for a few seconds then sighed roughly.
"The idiot must have confused my bed with his." She grumbled thinking the reason why Luffy was asleep next to her was his fault rather than her own. Shura stared at him calmly then smirked a bit, to be fair Luffy was cute but extremely stupid. But that only added to the cuteness factor. Shura the almost smacked herself cutting off her own thoughts "idiot don't start this again, we've been down this road it doesn't turn out well." She grumbled to herself trying to pull Luffy off of her. Shura then managing that feat put a cushion next to Luffy when he was reaching out for something to cuddle with.
Shura then stood up rubbing her head "Why does my head hurt so much?" She whispered aloud then remembered she and Luffy were on the floor and sighed she must of hit her head on the floor when she was asleep.
Shura went to step over Luffy to head to the bathroom but to her surprise Luffy grabbed her and pulled her back down with him cuddling her in his sleep. Shura turned around wondering what happened to the cushion she had given him only to see part of it bitten off of and discarded.
Shura stared at the cushion horrified. 'That could've been me.' She thought glancing at Luffy's mouth then back at the cushion wondering how on earth he managed to eat half a cushion. Shura then felt something wet on her shoulder she turned around to see Luffy drooling on her shoulder.
"GROSS!" Shura shouted kicking Luffy off of her only to have him stretch to the other side of the room and then snap back knocking both of them out of Shura's room and into Nami's and Vivi's room. Shura and Luffy hit the wall waking up Vivi and Nami in the process.
"What on earth?" Vivi mumbled sitting up rubbing her eyes to see Shura trying to keep Luffy from eating her shoulder. "MEAT~!" Luffy groaned in his sleep gnawing on Shura's shoulder. "Get off you idiot!" Shura shouted trying to pull him off. Nami slowly sat up and stared at the two burnets who were unknowingly making their fate just a little bit worse about how loud they were being.
Nami stood up and closed in on them and then threw them both out of her room. "AND STAY OUT!" She shouted throwing the doing into the other wall. Shura hit Luffy who hit the wall first waking the boy up.
"Of fucking course she helps herself but when Luffy gnaws on me she won't even lift a finger except to kick us out. You know what if she's in life threating danger I'm not saving her ass." Shura grumbled while Luffy opened up his eyes. "Oh hey Shura!" He greeted loudly at the girl who was sitting on his lap. Shura glanced behind her "Hey Luffy." She deadpanned, then the two burnets sat there for a moment.
"I'm hungry…" Luffy spoke up suddenly, "Yeah me too." Shura said in agreement.
