The diaries of Kaede Tsuda Burnett, day 57

I should probably write down something about what's been happening for the past few days, but I just can't bring myself to do it. After the Usopp incident, everyone has pretty much been doing their own thing... The only things that happened that are worth writing about is the bird stuff, which Sanji finished collecting for me. I made a nest out of some blankets, some feathers, and dried seaweed I managed to get when I was testing my sub's new re-docking system, which actually works now.

It isn't something I really like having on the sub, but it works. It's actually just a giant pair of metal arms that sit inside the bottom of the sub. When I pump electricity into them, they come out and I can move them to latch onto the railing or side of the ship and then pull the sub out of the water. They aren't very fast, and I have to pump a lot of electricity into them, but they do the job. I might have to modify them though because I ended up having to use so many Thundara spells that my hands actually started to go numb.

There was another reason why I wanted to test the sub's modifications. When Sanji finally gave me all the feathers, the talons, and the beak, I had started looking through my froggy bag for a magical potions book or something, which I didn't find. Instead, I found two magical books: Magical Botany and Practical Magic.

The 'Practical Magic' book wasn't all the interesting. It's mostly a book about using magic to clean or store stuff, which is just stupid. I have the froggy bag, so storing stuff isn't an issue, and I hate cleaning as it is, magical or not. So I don't plan on ever reading it.

As for the Magical Botany book, that is a completely different story. At first, I was just hoping that it was a book about plants that could be used in magic, which would have at least been close to what I was looking for, but that's not what it is at all. It's actually a book on how to create magical plants. You can't create plants that will give you the ability to breath under water or anything, but you can create a hole new kind of plant out of one that already exists.

Basically, all you have to do is take a handful of whatever plant you want to modify, close your hands around it tightly and concentrate on how you want to change it, though the modifications only work in small jumps, meaning that you can only change the plant a little each time.

Luckily, the botany book tells you how to make a bio ball, a little magical ball that holds a single seed in it. When you break the bio ball, which it says you should do by throwing it, the seed starts growing instantly, becoming full grown in just a matter of seconds, or minutes, depending on how fast the plant grows normally.

That's why I wanted the seaweed. Since it grows really fast, it's perfect for modifying. I still haven't gotten the hang of modifying it, but I'm still working on it. I figured out how to just turn the seaweed into seaweed, or rather spores, without having to modify the seaweed. It's pretty much the exact same process without the concentrating on changing the plant.

Hm... now what to write... Oh yeah, the feathers. I used some of the feathers to make a broom, which is a lot faster then the one I was using before, and I managed to make a feather duster for Sanji, which he is incredibly happy about, but I still don't know what I am going to do with the rest of them.

As for the talons and the beak, I ended up putting them in the froggy bag along with the extra feathers. I know I'll be able to use them for something sooner or later, I just haven't figured out what that something is.

Oh! I almost forgot! Yesterday, while going through my backpack, I found the two rocks I picked up back in the crystal hall. I completely forgot all about them. When I found them in the crystal hall, I had just put them into my backpack and completely forgot about them them. When I finally found them again, I ended up getting shocked by the transparent orange one, and I do mean shocked. When it was back in the crystal hall, it hadn't given off any electricity, but now it does. It's not a huge amount, but it was still enough for it to be painful, so I decided to talk to Usopp and Nami about using it in Nami's staff.

Well, apparently, they had already talked about making her a new weapon and Usopp was already close to finishing it. When I showed them the little rock and showed them what it did, Usopp said that he was going to replace the little electric gizmo he already used with it. After that, I ended up helping him modify the staff a little so that it isn't a party thing anymore. It still sends out a bunch of doves, but just about everything else is different.

Instead of a bunch of flowers coming out of the end of it when you use 'the cloudy tempest', it sends out a bunch of little bio-balls, though you do have to reload it after twenty shouts. We also got rid of the 'spring fist' thing that was in the end of one of the parts of it. Now it shoots out some needle pellets that Usopp and I made. I also helped him tweak the hot and cold orbs so that they are even hotter and even colder.

It's still not as strong as the one he'll make with the dials in Skypiea, but it's a lot stronger then the one she had in the anime during the fight with the sea-urchin chick.

I plan to show her how to use it when it's finished, and I plan to give her some more bio-balls once we get into the desert, but I have to-

Before I could finish writing my sentence in my journal, a loud crashing sound rang through the air, successfully scaring the hell out of me.

Thinking we were under attack, I jumped out of my seat and ran up the stairs, heading for the door that lead to the deck. Stopping at the door, I glanced out of the window to make sure I wasn't about to walk into a surprise attack and instantly ducked down out of site, not wanting to be seen. What I saw when I looked through the window had nearly given been a heart attack. I had known that he would be appearing any day, but I hadn't really been ready to see him. He was so freaky looking. His legs were hairier then Lil's were and the swans on his shoulders looked as though they had once been alive and had simply been shot and stuffed. It was definitely the ballet dancing man himself.

Bentham Bon Kurei, AKA, Mr. 2.

The loud crashing sound I had heard before must have been him hitting Luffy and copying his face because the rubber idiot had just started to stand back up when I looked through the window. When I glanced out the window again, careful to make sure that he didn't see me, I found that Nichi, Lucian, Vivi, and Sanji were missing, which either meant they were standing outside of the kitchen above me, or they had hidden as soon as they saw him.

While I knew that Vivi had never seen Mr. 2 before, I wasn't so sure that Nichi and Lucian hadn't, so it they could have kept her and Sanji from leaving the kitchen if they saw him. The less about the crew Mr. 2 knew, the better off we were.

Just as I was about to peak out the window again, a loud voice both scared the hell out of me, and told me where one of the missing people was.

"Hay, Kaede Sweet, what are you looking at?" Sanji asked from just under a foot behind me, nearly giving me a heart attack in the process.

Spinning around as fast as I could, I tackled the blond to the floor, hoping no one had heard him or the crash of me tackling him. If Mr. 2 copied our faces, then Sanji wouldn't live long enough to see Arabasta because I would have to kill him for screw everything up.

"Are you trying to get us killed?!" I demanded quietly, holding my hand over his mouth so that he couldn't speak and looking over my shoulder to make sure that no one was looking through the window.

Luckily, no one was.

"Fwew." I sighed, happy to find that no one was looking through the window at us, meaning that Mr. 2 wasn't about to copy our faces. "Good, he's not coming in here."

Realizing that Sanji wasn't even moving in response, my eyes instantly started twitching. I didn't need to actually look at him to know what was going on. He's male, he's a perv, and I was basically sitting in his lap with my chest only a few inches away from his face. Even Luffy would be able to tell what was going on without having to look at him.

Turning to glare down at the blond chef, I found that I was right. He was staring at my chest with large harts in his eyes and drool practically pouring out of the sides of his mouth.

Once I was sure that Sanji had learned his lesson and had retrieved the end of my mallet from his... place, I stood up and looked out the window again, wandering how much longer the copy man was going to be on the ship. If I was forced to sit in the storage room with Sanji for much longer, I was going to end up killing him.

Glancing out of the window, I found that there was a ship a little off in the distance. Everyone seemed really excited to see it, especially Mr. 2. once it was close enough, everyone said their goodbyes, though Luffy, Usopp, and Lil didn't seem to be all that happy about Mr. 2 leaving.

After everyone said their goodbyes and Mr. 2's ship had gotten close enough, Mr. 2 jumped over to his own ship and sailed away, waving at everyone the whole time. When his ship was finally out of site, I opened the door and walked out of it, just in time for Vivi, Nichi, and Lucian to come out of the kitchen above me. As soon as we were all there, not including Sanji for some unknown reason, those of us that had recognized the copy man filled the others in on who they had just seen.

"That was Mr. 2?!" Usopp exclaimed in horror once we filled everyone in, though no one seemed to even notice that Sanji was missing. "Why didn't you tell us?! We could have stopped him!"

"Well, I didn't say anything because I didn't know it was him, and Nichi and Lucian said that Kaede probably had a reason for not telling us about it before, so I just sort of assumed that we should just stay hidden." Vivi explained, causing everyone to first look at Nichi and Lucian before turning their attention to me.

"So? What gives?" Nami asked as one of her eyebrows disappeared into her hairline, practically demanding to know why I hadn't told them about something, again. "Did you know he was going to show up, or not?"

"You better have a good reason for not telling us if you did know, this not bothering to tell us everything stuff is starting to get old." Zoro said, crossing his arms and glaring at me like always.

'You know, one of these days his face is going to get stuck like that...' I thought, wishing he would stop glaring at me all the time.

It was really annoying.

"Yeah, I knew." I confessed, explaining to them why I hadn't told them. "If I had told you about that he was going to be showing up sooner or later, then you might have beaten him here, and then we wouldn't have been able to get our next crew member."

"A new crew member?!" Luffy asked instantly, the excitement in his voice causing me, and everyone else, to sweat drop slightly.

"Huh? And how will not beating that idiot to a bloody pulp get us a new crew member?" Nami asked, wandering how letting an idiot bad-guy get away could possibly get us another crew member and hoping that he wasn't the new member.

"Please tell me it isn't him." Zoro said, gesturing over his shoulder in the direction that Mr. 2 and his men had sailed off in, which just happened to be the same direction that we were sailing in.

"No, don't worry, it isn't him, but I'm not telling you, it might change the future to much." I said, walking over to the stairs and heading up to the kitchen, only to stop when I realized that I had left my journal open.

I didn't exactly have to worry about anyone reading it as it isn't exactly in a language they would be able to understand, but that didn't mean I liked the idea of just leaving it sitting out.

Turning around, I jumped over the stairs railings and turned to walk back into the storage room, only to pause when I heard what Usopp was saying.

"Hm, who could it be, who could it be.." He was saying, rubbing his chin while look thoughtfully out over the ocean.

BAMB!

In the blink of an eye, the end of my mallet connected with the back of his head, causing him to hit the deck of the ship face first.

Everyone seemed to realize that I hadn't just hit him to get him to stop trying to figure out who our new crew member might be. They could tell that it was also meant as a warning to them, meaning that I was more then willing to smack the crap out of them if they tried to figure it out to.

"OK, listen up!" I said loudly, making sure that everyone was paying attention, which they were. "I don't want any of you trying to figure who the new crew member might be. If you do figure it out it might change the events in the future, and then we wouldn't get them. OK?"

Knowing that I would beat the crap out of them if they tried to figure it out after I told them not to, and not really wanting to miss the chance of getting another crew member, everyone agreed to just leave it alone and not screw anything up.

"Good." I said, happy that they all understood me. " Oh, and please don't assume that I have reason for not telling you guys stuff for now on." I said, opening the storage room door and stepping into it, only to be stopped by Nami a second later.

"Why not? Do you mean you aren't going to be telling us the future anymore?" She asked, wandering if that was what I meant, which it wasn't.

"Hm, doubt it." Zoro said, thinking about it for a second before coming up with his own theory. "It's because we can't trust your visions anymore, isn't it?"

As we had spoken about that same topic just a couple of days before, it wasn't that surprising that he would remember that little fact. It was something that most of the crew members had been worrying about. In their minds, my visions had been a lot of help, but the truth was, they hadn't been any help at all. Everything was getting harder because of what I knew, not easier. Even if what I knew could still be trusted to be right, all telling them would do is make everything even harder, and that would be really stupid.

"Exactly." I said, though it was half a lie. "Things are starting to get more and more off from what they are supposed to be. Nichi and Lucian were supposed to die in Whiskey Peak, but they didn't, so now I have no idea what's going to happen."

My words surprised everyone, including me. I hadn't even meant to tell them that. I had been thinking it, but I didn't want them to know it. I wasn't even really sure I had let it slip out. The best I can say is I probably need more sleep, or the stress over everything that I was causing was probably starting to get to me. Whatever the reason, I had just said something that I really didn't want them to know.

"What?" Nichi asked in disbelief before comprehension moved across her face.

Lucian seemed to be having the same thoughts as the large muscle woman was. As I had said before, most of the things that had happened so far were just like my vision of how everything would have been if I hadn't joined the crew, and both of them were doing the math on that and were coming to the right answer. If most of the stuff that had happened would have happened even if I wasn't there, then that means that the two of them would have ended up fighting Mr. 5 and his partner still, even if I wasn't there, but if I wasn't there to pull them both out of the way of the attacks, then what would have happened to them.

Realizing my mistake, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, wishing I hadn't said it.

"Please forget I said that." I said, hanging my head slightly, not wanting to look any of them in the eyes.

"If you hadn't been on the straw hat crew, would we have still had the fight in Whiskey Peak?" Nichi finally asked, just as I had been about to head into the storage room.

Looking up at her, I saw that everyone was paying close attention, clearly wanting to know the same thing. If everything was close early on but was just now starting to get further off course, then what else had changed because I was on the crew?

"Yeah. You would have still fought Mr. 5 back in Whiskey Peak." I said quietly, wishing even more that I hadn't opened my stupid mouth. "Like I said before, apart from the dolphin thing, I never any other vision except the one that told me about the first half of the Straw-Hat crews journey."

"So the only way you know what's going to happen, is if it was going to happen even if you weren't on the crew." Lucian finished for me, understanding me perfectly.

They were both supposed to have died back there, and now they both had a second chance to live.

"Thank you!" they both exclaimed in tear-filled voiced, getting down on the floor in front of me and bowing with tears running down their faces. "Thank you so much!"

'Maybe... knowing what's going to happen isn't always a bad thing...' I thought, realizing that I shouldn't be so afraid of what my knowledge could do.

Knowing something was going to happen is one thing, but deciding what you are going to do with that knowledge, that is something completely different. Your actions and not your visions are what is important. If you know something is going to happen, then you have to decide early on what you are going to change and what you aren't. You can't just change whatever you want because everything has a consequence. Some consequences are good, and some are bad, but you never know which one you are going to get, the good or the bad. You have to think about it very hard before you decide what to change, or else you might not like the ending nearly as much as you think you will.

Looking down at the to before me, I opened my mouth to tell them to get up. I wasn't really sure how I felt about them bowing to me, but I was starting to get really embarrassed. Just as I grabbed both of their shoulders though, all hell broke loose as someone started firing a cannon on us and someone started screaming.

"DAMN IT! I'M OUT OF EXPERIMENTS! THEY'RE GOING TO KILL US!"

OMG, we're getting close to the end of the first part/first book. Are you guys as excited as I am?

Oh, and start giving me ideas on how to do certain events, remember, if my mind goes blank, then I wont be able to update until it starts working again. :D so keep my mind going with suggestions!
