Okay, everyone I know you're sad about the fact that Shura will eventually leave one piece. However, I have to tell you that's the point of the series. It's about a girl who jumps around from anime to anime.
However, I will not tell you where she is going next. But I do enjoy when people suggest anime that I have not thought or heard of. So I can eventually have her jump there in the series. (If I like the anime enough.)
I'm not trying to be mean, I mean common I'm SHURA I'm WAY too awesome to be mean.
As I said before, I will consider your suggestions for the next jump in the future. Some of you have already suggested some pretty good ones.
(Even though hit man re-born's plot is a little strange… I mean really? A baby?)
If you want to know of all the anime and manga that I've read or watched (mostly all the way through) There is a list on my profile page (which I need to update. But will do later.) However here's a list of some of the anime and manga I will not have Shura jump to.
Boys Kingdom (I hated it! I hated it! I hated it!)
Alice in the country of hearts (I thought about it, but it wouldn't make sense. I couldn't see how it would work.)
Sailor moon (I might have her mention she's been there, but I won't actually make a whole story about it.)
Vampire Knight (I could hardly make it through the first episode. It's not that I'm bashing it, it's just I don't like vampires.)
And that's about it for now. Don't hate me because I don't like Vampire Knight, it's just the whole thing about the main character is way to Mary-sue for even ME to handle and I'm the one who owns the series OMG Not Another Mary-sue! That's when you know it's bad on me…
Anyway, Have an AWESOME day.
(But not as awesome as me)
-Shura-
So there Shura was laying face first in the sand, and two things went through her mind. One being, she hated the desert, and two being she hated random birds that swoop in and grab people randomly flying through the air.
Seriously, what kind of falcon wears clothes?
Anyway, Shura huffed kicking up sand then sat up slowly. Shura sat there for a moment trying to opening her eyes without feeling the burning of the sand in them, and then her nose twitched a bit "Ugh, ah-ah-achoo!" Shura said sneezing because there was sand up her nose. Rubbing her eyes clean of sand Shura looked around to see that she was surrounded by what appeared to be sand pirates.
"Well, fuck." Shura could only say as Rasa held a knife to her throat.
Then she was knocked out, by the time she woke back up Nami was kicking her shin the best that she could considering they all were tied up together. Which was pretty hard mind you, but not hard enough to actually hurt Shura seriously.
"Shura-san, please wake up." Vivi said looking at the sleeping girl beside her, whom of which was tied to the mast much like herself. "Ugh, my head…." Shura groaned opening her eyes then she screamed when she seen how close Nami's face was. "Oh my God! I knew it! You are a lesbian!" She screamed, causing Nami to glare at her fiercely and kick her in the shin as hard as she could. "Ow! Stop it you thieving bitch!" Shura shouted at Nami who huffed "Just get out of this rope and save us already!" She demanded causing Shura to raise an eyebrow then smile.
She wiggled around a bit. "I dunno Nami, the rope is pretty tight and besides, if I was going to save anyone. It'd be me and Vivi. I'd let your ass rot here." Shura said grinning at Nami evilly, causing the red hair girl to glare "Why wouldn't you save me? You bitch!" She shouted at Shura who smiled, "Because I hate you." Shura merely replied causing Nami to go ballistic on her. But it really didn't do much good because, one they were tied up. Two, Shura was way stronger than Nami.
"Stop yelling you banshee!" Shura finally shouted after five minutes of Nami screaming and shouting in her ear. "I couldn't save anyone if I wanted to, like I said the ropes are too freakin' tight!" Shura shouted at Nami who growled. "You mean to tell me, that you can SUMMON SNAKES, WALK ON WATER, and CONTROL LIGHTENING AND FIRE! But YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF ROPES BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO TIGHT!" Nami screamed at the top of her lungs at Shura. Who nodded "In a very loud scream, yes I can't get out of ropes because they're too tight. Besides, my hands are tied up as well for me to summon snakes I need to use my hands to make the signs and to control lightening and fire I also need my hands. But the good news is. If there's a flash flood we're saved!" Shura replied cheekily, earning a head-butt from Nami while Vivi mumbled "Shura there hasn't been water here for three years."
"Ow! You bitch!" Shura shouted at Nami while Vivi sighed, Shura was so strong yet so useless at the same time. After about ten minute Shura began to hum to herself and about five more minutes of humming she began to quietly sing.
"A little bit of Minato in my life, a little bit of Zoro by side, a little bit of Luffy is all I need, a little bit of Smoker is what is I see, a little bit of Sanji in the sun, a little bit of (Fake) Mori all night long, a little bit of Hikaru here I am, a little bit of Yuu means I have a reverse harem!" Shura sang to herself earning strange looks from the crew and her fellow captives.
"If Sanji hears you singing that…" Nami started not wanting to go on with that thought, luckily Vivi cut in. "What in the world was that song Shura?" the princess questioned "Mambo number seven." Shura stated as if it was nothing earning a suspicious look from Nami "Why seven?" Nami questioned "Because it's two times better than the original mambo number five!" Shura said staring at her like she was stupid, Nami and Vivi deflated at this "of course it is." They both mumbled exasperated with the burnet.
Then after a couple minute of silence Shura began to thrash about a bit hitting her head on the mast. "Shura-san, please stay still you're tightening the rope on my end." Vivi said uncomfortable with her situation. However she was ignored by Shura, and over voiced by Shura shouting "MUCKER FOTHERIN' ROPES!" Nami sighed at hearing this, "The ropes must be so tight that it's cut all blood circulation to her brain." She commented ignoring Shura's glare and decided to continue on with her rude comment "I mean, she can't even curse properly anymore. That's how you know it's gotten bad." Nami said mostly to herself and Vivi, just then Luffy came flying in and rammed himself into the mast, landing himself right in front of Shura.
"My bad, could you guys spare some water?" Luffy said with his tongue, "Luffy I thought you came flying in to save us. Since SOMEONE can'- Hey! Where'd Shura go?" Nami said but cut herself off in mid-sentence then shouted looking around for the other burnet. Then looked over and saw that Vivi was no longer tied up.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Nami screamed seeing that Shura was on the edge of the ship holding Vivi, getting ready to jump off. "Told you I'd let your ass rot here!" Shura shouted jumping off only to land in Sanji's arms and Vivi to land in Zoro's. "Hiya Sanji!" Shura chirped grinning at the blonde who smiled as well. "Shura-chawn~! Where is Nami-swan?" He sang causing Shura's grin to fade, "She's on the ship tied up dumbass now put me down." Shura said not liking that Sanji wanted Nami, Sanji set Shura down then jumped up on the deck of the ship to free Nami. "Nami-swan this, Nami-swan that." Shura mumbled mocking Sanji, common he didn't even ask how she was. "Bastard." She grumbled turning around only to run into Zoro who had just sat Vivi down.
Zoro flushed then stumbled back mumbling that he was sorry then headed up the deck to see how the idiotic captain was doing. "That the hell was that about?" Shura said scratching her head, Usopp walked past her and mumbled "You're really that stupid aren't you?" But he was ignored by Shura.
"So can you actually eat that thing?" Luffy asked pointing over to Eyelashes the camel. Barbosa then said in response "We sand pirates have a saying, anything that crawls on the desert floor is edible!" The tall, fall and jolly man said causing Luffy to light up.
"Really? I even eat stuff off the floor!" he said earning a strange look from the older man "You'll get a belly ache that way." He replied causing Luffy to nod enlightened "I'll be careful then." He said seriously causing Barbosa to laugh "What a strange lad you are!" Barbosa chuckled "You're really weird too old man!" Luffy laughed with Barbosa "Let's eat!" he shouted causing the poor camel to burst into tears and Nami (who was now untied) to hit him on the head.
Skipping a few scenes and a couple tiny filler ark which had Shura bored out of her mind; after splitting up with Ace as well they had FINALLY made it to Yuba by night fall. Needless to say, Shura was exhausted, but for some reason couldn't sleep. After tossing and turning for an hour or so, she finally sat up and headed out of the hotel that everyone was staying at.
She began to walk as if almost in a trance, she wanted to go back to the hotel and sleep but it was almost as if her mind had no control over her feet. It was as if someone had a collar around her neck with a leash attached to it and was pulling her in the direction she was going in. Shura didn't know how long she walked but before she knew it, she was outside the spider café.
"The spider café," Shura mumbled reading the sign, for some reason she felt like she had heard of that café some place before. Shura then hid around back when she heard a very flamboyant and loud voice counting to three in French. "Un, deux, trios! Un, deux, trios! Wait, how do you say four? I dunno!" Mr. Two aka Bon Clay shouted with his men somehow following him as they spun around.
"Quatre, dumbass that's how you say four in French," Shura grumbled but not loud enough for anyone to hear. Then after Bon Clay's men left, although it was debatable if they were really men and everyone showed up. A woman that Shura didn't recognize from the show stepped out of the shadows after Miss double finger revealed herself.
"Miss New Year," Mr. One said in a very stereotypical tough guy way, the sultry red head smiled "Hello everyone." She greeted, Shura felt her gut bubble in anger for some strange reason. She knew this woman didn't belong, she could tell she didn't belong. So why was this woman here? How did she get here in the first place? Was she like Shura or something else?
Shura didn't know, and then her mind traveled back to her little black book she had left at the hotel on a night stand that was next to a bunk that unfortunately both she and Luffy were sharing, they didn't sleep on the same bed but they still shared the bunk bed and of course Shura was on top. (Oh grow up will you!)
Shura shook her head then went back to her original thought that she was recalling 'The role of a world jumper is to eliminate things that are knocking the world that they are in off balance. If they cannot, then the world is destroyed.' She recalled that from the book, she tried to read about what destroys the worlds but strangely enough that page was ripped out and any reference that might hint to what destroys the world was marked out. So most of what Shura knew was vague, and the curiosity was almost killing her. She shook her head again then frowned at the next thought.
'Destroyed,' Shura thought and her mind traveled back to all the time she had spent here with the others, how amazing this world was as well as crazy. It would be a shame to see it all go to waste; it would be a shame to see everyone go to waste. Shura then felt a tap on her shoulder, she turned around to see Miss New year standing there.
"You must be one of Koenma's dogs; a lone jumper wouldn't have been able to find me so easily." She said with much spite and hate in her voice, and then she punched Shura in the face sending her flying back. "How DARE you spy on me! As if I'm your equal! You and I aren't even on the same level!" Miss New Year shouted clearly angry, Shura sat up and wiped the blood off of her busted lip. "You're right; we're not on the same level." Shura growled suddenly angrier than she was before, Miss New Year raised a crimson red eyebrow at this. "Oh really now? Please enlighten me." She said interested, Shura stood up slowly.
"I don't know who the hell this Koenma guy is, but I can assure you I'm not one of his dogs. I belong to no one!" Shura shouted now fully standing up and clearly out of that trance she was in only moments ago, she was completely and utterly pissed off. "We're not on the same level like you said, I'm on a whole different level then you." Shura growled lowly, pumping charka into her right hand but not enough to kill the woman yet.
This shocked Miss New Year slightly; she couldn't help but wonder how Shura was able to find her so fast without even knowing of her existence. But she could not ponder upon this thought which she had thought because she received a rather powerful blow to the jaw. This sent Miss New Year flying back into a bunch of barrels nearby.
"Everything alright back there, Miss New Year?" Shura heard Miss Double Finger call, Miss Merry Christmas being the impatient hag she was began to walk back there complaining about a headache, a backache and strangely enough a… lung ache.
'A lung ache? Is that even possible?' Shura wondered but she didn't wonder for long, because no matter how strong she was, she knew a snow ball in hell would have more chance than she fighting with all the top agents of Baroque works. So needless to say she high tailed it out of there leaving the agents to find Miss New Year unconscious and now with a fractured jaw.
Back at the hotel Usopp woke up slowly because he heard something fall on the floor. "What…?" he mumbled tiredly then saw it was Shura's black book. "How'd that get on the floor…?" He said slowly getting up off of his bunk, then suddenly it fluttered open to a page because of the wind coming in from the open window.
Usopp deciding it couldn't hurt to look at it, lit a candle and began to read the page which it had landed on.
"After a Sekai no Jumpa has completed the task of ridding the world of the imbalance, they will automatically evict themselves from the world to go on to the next one." Usopp read aloud, and then blinked in surprise. Wasn't Shura a world jumper? So she was supposed to leave the world after she got rid of what was wrong with it?
Usopp tried to imagine everyone's reaction to that, he knew almost everyone wouldn't like it very much if Shura disappeared without warning and Luffy would freak out and forget about one piece spending the rest of his life searching for someone that was no longer existent on this plane of existence.
'Not to mention Zoro…' Usopp thought to himself almost barfing, it was almost like it was against the laws of nature that Zoro now suddenly had feelings for the insane burnet. But he should've seen it coming; Zoro did like fighting with Shura almost as much as he did with Sanji.
He knew he'd get pillows thrown at him at first, but he decided to wake everyone and tell them about this. He just hoped Shura didn't kill him when she found out he had been through her things.
"Everyone! Wake up!" he shouted waking everyone up, of course he received pillows to the head. But after he told them why everyone was awake, it took about twenty minutes to explain it to the crew minus the captain who was still outside.
"Why wouldn't Shura-san say something?" Vivi said concerned, did Shura really have to choose between saving their world or staying here? That would be horrible, even Vivi couldn't think of how she could choose between that.
"Maybe she doesn't know. You know how she is; I doubt she's read that far into the book." Zoro said leaning back with his arms folded across his chest. Sanji took a long drag from his newly lit cigarette, "You should give her more credit Zoro, Shura's a lot smarter than what you think she is. Speaking of which, where is she?" Sanji said now staring at Shura's empty bunk, Usopp sighed in relief that Shura wasn't there. He heard Sanji mumble how it seemed it was always him that noticed that Shura was missing, but no one got to respond to that because then Chopper shouted…
"OH NO! What if she already got rid of the thing that was unbalancing the world?" Chopper shouted with tears pricking out the rims of his eyes, "I never got to say goodbye!" He shouted with tears streaming down his face now, this was just like with the doctor all over again.
"Chopper! Calm down! I'm sure Shura hasn't got rid of whatever it is yet!" Nami shouted trying to calm the sobbing reindeer down. But it didn't really do much good because there was a sudden depressing aura over Sanji and Zoro.
"Seriously you guys? I'm trying to calm Chopper down and you're really not helping!" Nami exclaimed only to see Vivi was depressed as well "Geeze." She said turning around to see Usopp blabbering to himself about having to do more work now that Shura was gone.
Just as that was happening, the door opened with the wind blowing outside and in came in Shura with a busted lip and covered with dirt and sand. She had one hand over her eye mumbling how the stupid wind had blown sand into her eye.
She walked past everyone who seem to sit there and stare at her then climbed up into her bunk and turned away from everyone.
"Usopp put my book away before I break your fucking neck." Shura said without even looking at Usopp, who scrambled up and put Shura's book in the back with a stitched up rip on the side that she always carried around. Shura laid there for a few moments then growled and turned over knowing everyone was staring at her. "What? If you want me to go get Luffy, I'll tell you right now I'm not fucking do-!" Shura shouted but was cut off by Zoro who seemed pretty angry at her for some reason.
"Why did you tell us that as soon as you got rid of the problem in this world you had to leave?" He snapped glaring at her angrily; Shura raised an eye brow at this tone that Zoro was using.
It was a mixture of hurt and anger, it was weird hearing him use that tone. But she didn't dwell on that too long, because she replied "Well I didn't say anything because one, I didn't think you guys would care and two half my stay here I didn't even know what I fucking was! Only recently I've found this out. It's my problem not yours, I'll deal with it okay! So just back the fuck up, why should you care anyway Zoro?" Shura snapped earning strange looks from everyone in the room.
Nami's was one of surprise, as if she didn't think Shura was capable of this and this being handling a problem herself and never once crying out for help. Vivi's was one of understanding, as if she understood the way Shura felt and could relate somewhat to her situation.
Sanji's expression was clearly upset; Shura didn't really think his expression was all that strange. She understood why he'd feel upset. Sanji was one of the few that she actually got along, so they were nakama. She guessed he was thinking that Shura didn't trust him enough to tell him about his.
Chopper's expression was pretty close to Sanji's as well and Usopp's was a mixture of terror and surprise, terror because he was sure Shura was going to kill him for touching her things. But surprise because like Nami, he didn't think Shura was capable of doing something like this.
Shura stared at Zoro last, his glare was harsh and hurt, which really confused Shura to no end. Why was he so hurt for, he hated her. All they've done during this whole crazy trip is fight, it's not like Zoro was attracted to her or anything. Zoro isn't even capable of holding his attention on anything other than stupid swords.
"Whatever." Zoro spat after a few moments of deadly glares received and given between Shura and he. "Couldn't have said it better myself. Now I'm tired, I don't know about you guys but I'm going to sleep." Shura snapped turning over away from everyone and going to sleep.
Zoro turned over as well glaring at the wall and internally cursing himself for even having feelings for Shura. 'She's lazy, stupid, thoughtless, she doesn't care about anything or anyone other than herself or her precious Minato, she's too loud, and cocky and- and funny, strong. Wait stop thinking like that!' Zoro was screaming in his head, he was feeling anger, lovesickness and jealousy all at the same time. Zoro wished more than anything at that moment he could solve this problem like his other problems. By working out or cutting something up, but this was very different from that and Zoro hated that.
Then his mind traveled back to Minato, he'd never even met the guy and he already hated him. Why did Shura have to light up like that when she talked about him? Wasn't it enough there was already a triangle between her, him and Luffy? Zoro grimaced feeling sick when he remembered seeing that picture for the first time, why did he make her smile like that. What was so fucking special about this Minato!
What made him be loved by Shura so much, be adored by the girl who can't walk past a mirror without saying 'Hey sexy. Come here often?' with a stupid grin on her face. Why couldn't it be him that was adored by her like that? Why couldn't it be him that made her smile like that? Or light up whenever he was mentioned.
Hell, even Luffy had more luck with Shura than he did. At least Luffy could get Shura to laugh, at least Luffy wasn't hated by Shura and they were practically best friends.
What was he saying? Feeling sorry for himself like this, it's not like he's ever done anything to even make Shura think of him in a way other than that guy that she always fights with. Or that guy that I've saved his life three times before. All he was to Shura was 'that guy'. Not Zoro or anything else for that matter. Just 'that' guy.
Zoro put his pillow on his head; he wished someone would shoot him at that moment. Put him out of his misery at least.
At Rain Base, Robin aka Miss All Sunday was surprised to see the agents come in with Miss New Year down for the count.
"What happened?" Miss All Sunday questioned when Mr. four came in carrying the red headed woman on his shoulder. "S…..She….Was… kn…..knock….ed-." Mr. Four started to say but was cut off by Miss Merry Christmas "She's out, unconscious, asleep, can't you see? baka- baka –ba –ba!" The crone chanted quickly and Miss All Sunday sighed and turned to the slightly more sane agents.
"We don't know, she said she had business to take care behind the building and she was there for a few minutes or so then we heard some yelling and a crash and she was out cold. Mr. One and I looked around for who might have done it but they were long gone. It's strange really no normal person would've been able to take off like that and not leave a trace." Miss Double Finger said with her arms folded across her chest, Mr. Two spun around dramatically "It's TRUE~!~!" he sang, Miss All Sunday sighed.
"Very well, I'll go tell Mr. Zero of this mishap and then we will proceed with briefing and you'll finally get to see Mr. Zero." Miss All Sunday said then she left. After getting a couple of glasses thrown at her Robin managed to make it out of the room alive.
She then begun the briefing as planned, most of it went like the anime. Except for when everyone left, Miss New Year woke up.
Crocodile stood over her clearly unpleased. "Who caused this Miss New Year? Or should I say Kathrin?" he said gruffly, Kathrin aka Miss New Year sat up slowly on the couch that she had been laid upon. She rubbed her jaw gently as it pulsed with pain. "You've never been this easily defeated Kathrin; I didn't expect you to be defeated so suddenly." Crocodile said facing away from the red haired woman who looked over and glared. "It was a lucky shot," She finally said with much difficulty because of her jaw. This caused Crocodile to laugh, "Lucky shot or not, they got you good. Please tell me, who did this? I want to thank them for finally shutting you up for a little while!" Crocodile said amused with Miss New Year's pain and anger.
Miss New Year growled then threw the nearest thing next to her at him. Which was a vase, Crocodile let it hit him as he turned to sand. He then appeared in front of Miss New Year, now holding her in a choke hold. "I wouldn't suggest doing that again, Katy." Crocodile said hissing her nickname with much venom, "Now tell me, what kind of second rate bandit was strong enough to beat you?" Crocodile interrogated again, Katharine let out a gurgle trying to say something. Realizing this Crocodile let her go and allowed her to fall on the couch once more.
Miss New Year let out a gasp for air, "It was… the world jumper I told you about. She's here and she's a lot stronger than I originally thought. Bu... But I can assure you, I will not make the same mistake again." She said gasping and coughing every so often, Crocodile smiled that this "You better not, otherwise. You'll end up like Mr. Three." Crocodile said smiling sadistically, in the background Miss New Year could see Mr. Three's cloak float past in the water.
She growled lowly at this, possibly planning something horrible for Crocodile in the future.
Back in Yuba with the straw hat crew and Vivi. They were just leaving the old guy that Vivi knew, that Shura like many other people that the straw hats have met up with didn't care about enough to remember his name.
"I'm sorry, Vivi-chan. You shouldn't have to see something like this." The old man said to Vivi, all the straw hats were gathered outside of the tiny oasis getting ready to retrace their steps and try to stop the rebel army that was half way across the country and closer to the capital than they were. To Shura it seemed completely idiotic, but she wasn't going to say anything.
Mostly because every time she brought attention to herself she was always glared at or looked at strangely by Zoro. Which was seriously starting to creep Shura out, I mean really, if she had something on her face than the green haired asshole should just tell her rather than just staring at her.
"It's alright it's not your fault, now we must be going." Vivi said politely to the older man, the man smiled then perked up remembering something. "Ah, Luffy-kun. Please take this with you." The man said walking over and handing Luffy a small barrel full of water.
"WOW! Water! Thanks Old man!" Luffy said excitedly, Usopp lit up like the greedy little bastard he is and shouted "Water!" The old man begun to explain how he was able to get it and how he was sorry there wasn't that much. But told Luffy to drink it carefully because the water was from Yuba, Luffy grinned brightly then said "Don't worry! I'll drink it carefully!" Luffy said in his usual way, with a determined glint in his eyes.
Then after that they headed out, after about twenty minutes of walking Luffy suddenly flopped down under an old dead tree. Everyone kept walking on, but stopped once they realized Luffy wasn't to going to keep walking with them.
Of course Shura had already stopped as well and was heading off into the opposite direction which they had been going, because she knew what was going to happen next.
"Oi! Luffy what the hell do you think you're doing!" Usopp exclaimed surprised with Luffy's sudden actions, he pointed an accusing finger at him angrily annoyed the young captain had suddenly stopped.
Everyone had stopped and looked over at Luffy, (excluding Shura who like I said, was heading back in the opposite direction.) "Luffy?" Nami questioned being helped down from Eyelashes by Sanji, Vivi then decided to speak up "What's wrong Luffy-san?" Vivi questioned considered for the young captain's health, both physically and emotionally.
"I quit." Luffy simply stated, surprising everyone, "Quit?" Nami questioned curiously, deciding that she would let the simpleton explain himself before doing anything. "Luffy-san, what do you mean?" Vivi questioned the burnet and Shura sighed roughly but kept walking.
"Come on Luffy, we don't have time to cater to your whims. Get up!" Usopp said with his hands on his hips. "We're going back aren't we?" Chopper questioned Luffy standing next to Usopp.
"Damn straight we are!" Sanji growled looking down at Luffy clearly displeased. "We are going to retrace our steps back to Katorea and stop the rebel army." Sanji stated pointing in the direction which they had been going. "If one million people clash in this country it's all over you know! This is for Vivi-chan, so let's go!" Sanji exclaimed walking over getting ready to pull Luffy up, only to be tossed to the side by Luffy like a rag doll. "I don't care." Luffy stated not even bothering to look at Sanji.
"Sanji, the only one who can really force Luffy up without being thrown to the side is Shura." Usopp said knowledgably, he as the gunner and crew techy kept tabs on who was the strongest and Shura, Luffy, and Zoro were all pretty close together.
Sure Sanji wasn't too far behind, but his lesser upper body strength compared to Luffy and Zoro and his weaker lower body strength compared to Shura; so that knocked him down a few notches.
But alas, Usopp was ignored by Sanji. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Sanji screamed at Luffy enraged with the young captain's actions. "Vivi." Luffy said ignoring Sanji, "Yes?" Vivi answered the captain. Luffy had a blank look on his face and didn't bother to look at her. "I want to kick Crocodile's ass." He stated angrily, this caused Vivi to gasp for some reason or another.
"If we stop the rebels, what makes you think Crocodile will stop? Even if we to make it to Katorea, there's nothing we can do. We're pirates. You're better going there without us." Luffy stated knowledgably, this made Shura stop in her tracks and wonder.
It made her wonder if Luffy was really stupid as he acted. Shura stood there pondering that, but sighed. She shouldn't be worrying about that; she should be worrying about jumping to the next world. She's never actually been fully awake when she jumped. Would it hurt? What did things look like as she jumped? Most importantly where was she going next and how could she control her powers enough to choose where she went?
If she could learn to do that then, could she possibly learn how to jump back home, if she could how would her family react to that? If she went back home then how would she find Minato? Did she still want to?
Shura frowned at that thought, of course she did! He was in the Shinigami's stomach suffering a thousand deaths. If she couldn't take him to her world, the least she could do was free him from that horrible place. Shura smiled victoriously, that's what she'll do! She'll free Minato from that horrible place, and if he wants to stay with her then he can. But if he doesn't than he can go.
"Shura! Common!" Nami yelled impatiently, Shura blinked then looked around realizing everyone was heading towards Rain base now. "Ah, where are we going?" Shura said pretending to be clueless as she ran over. "Rain Base, that's were Crocodile is." Vivi stated clearly emotionally drained from her outburst earlier.
Shura nodded "Good, I have business there." She said without thinking, causing everyone to stare wearily back at her knowing just what she meant.
"Shura, what's it like?" Usopp asked curiously looking over at Shura who blinked questionably. "Huh, what do you mean?" She questioned not knowing what the long nosed boy meant. "What's it like to jump from world to world?" He said clarifying what he had meant, Shura stopped in her tracks for a moment causing the whole group to stop because they were curious as well.
Shura stared at the ground quietly, "Painful." She said then began walking again; it was very painful for Shura. All everyone wants in stability to know what they were going to face when each day came. Shura didn't have that stability; she didn't know what world she was going to be in each time she woke up because she didn't know whether or not she had died in her sleep.
It was painful because even though she could try her very best in each world to get along with everyone and have everyone like her. It wouldn't add up to anything in the end, because after it was all over in that world she had to start all over again.
That's why she never held back when interacting with the straw hat crew, because what's the sense of making everyone like you if you're not even going to deal with it for very long anyway.
Shura then felt a hand on her shoulder and looked over and saw Sanji grinning at her. Shura smiled weakly at him as well.
But it wasn't all that bad; she had gotten to meet some of the best people she had ever known because of this. Some of the strongest as well and some of the most kindest, everyone Shura had met over her time of jumping flashed through her mind.
Sure it was always off to a pretty rough start, but everything worked out in the end right? Or at least that's what Shura hoped. That everyone would work out in the end.
They went on walking towards Rain Base and Shura sighed rolling her eyes when Usopp and Luffy began with the 'Aaahhs' again. "Shura! Carry me!" Luffy whined loudly, but much to his surprise Shura picked him up and began carrying him. "S-Shura?" Luffy questioned, he didn't expect Shura to actually carrying him.
"You're tired right? Just shut the hell up and don't push your luck." Shura said with a grin, causing Luffy to frown. That wasn't a good look in Shura's eyes. Luffy didn't like it at all.
Shura mostly kept quiet the rest of the way there, carrying Luffy most of the way without even breaking a sweat.
Which of course surprised everyone and troubled them as well, it was clear that even Shura knew she didn't have much longer here.
"We're here," Vivi announced as the hot sun beat down on the group of pirates.
"We made it?" Chopper asked sounding happily relieved, Shura stopped and put the Rein deer down that she was carrying. Poor Chopper had passed out from heat stroke a while back.
"Rain Base." Shura said staring at the city; she was standing on top of a dune with a determined look on her face. Everyone walked a head while Shura lingered behind, much to her surprise someone else had too.
"What are you thinking about?" A voice questioned that Shura didn't expect to hear; Shura turned to Zoro and sighed. "Nothing you'd be interested in." Shura said calmly quickly shaking off her surprised expression. She began to walk but was stopped by Zoro who had a hand on her shoulder.
"I don't want you to leave." He said causing Shura to quickly regain her surprised look with a dash of confusion. "W-What?" Shura questioned as the swords man stared at her calmly, so many thoughts ran through Shura's head most of them consisting of 'I thought Zoro hated me.' But it was clear that he didn't.
Very clear that he didn't.
"Zoro! Shura! What are you guys doing? Common we got to go kick Crocodile's ass!" Luffy shouted suddenly earning an annoyed growl from Zoro and a jump from Shura.
"We'll be there in a second! So shut your fucking mouth!" Shura shouted angrily at the idiot captain, she then caught an amused chuckle from Zoro who began walking in front of her. Shura quickly followed behind "What the hell is wrong with you?" Shura shouted wanting to know why Zoro was suddenly acting this way. But then she tripped and fell face first in the sand so she couldn't think very long about it.
