Recap! (for those of you that can't remember anything, like me!)

Nami awoke feeling awful, her head was pounding and she thought that her fever might've come back. "Where am I?" She asked thinking that no one else was in the room.

"You're on my ship girlie" Said a voice from the darkness"

"You now belong to me" Said the voice again

"What do you mean I belong to you!?" Nami said angrily "I don't belong to anybody!" She tried to jump up but the throbbing in her head only made her fall back down.

"Shahahah! You're not going anywhere girlie" Hohojiro said grinning evilly "You're going to be my navigator now. No one can save you now girlie, not even those friends of yours with monster-like strength."

Hohojiro walked closer to Nami "Now, with the best navigator on the seas I can finally be a pirate again"

"A-Again?" Nami said, now se was truly terrified of what Hohojiro would do to her. In her current state she couldn't fight

back or defend herself.

"You see I did have a crew, 10 years ago I was feared throughout the Grand Line but one day we got in a battle that we couldn't win. So I could survive I had to leave my crew there and without a navigator I couldn't sail the Grand Line so I came to Fishman Island so I could get another navigator." He explained

"Why did you wait 10 years to get a navigator and suddenly force me to do it?" Nami asked wanting to know why her kidnapped her instead of any other navigator from any other pirate crew.

"Because, I only settle for the world's best" He said "I was waiting for the world's best navigator for 2 years when to my surprise my younger brother said he had a 10-year-old-girl making excellent sea charts for him. I then decided that the girl he was talking about would be my navigator"

"But how did you know I would come here?" Nami asked

"I didn't" Hohojiro said "I thought that if you didn't come I simply wouldn't be a pirate anymore because I wouldn't have the world's best navigator" "So do you understand now girlie?" He asked

"I refuse…" Nami said, she could begin to feel her strength fade away.

"Refuse what?" Hohojiro asked

"I refuse to be your navigator" Nami answered.

"Those who refuse be on my crew will die" Hohojiro said "But you're special let me simply convince you a little" He said kicking Nami in her stomach and chest several times.

Nami coughed up a bit of blood she said "I'm still *cough* not going to join your crew"

"No one is going to come to save you little girl!" Hohojiro boomed. "You ARE going to be in my crew!" He yelled as he picked Nami up with one hand and threw her at the concrete wall on impulse.

"Now, girlie," He said "What do you say about being in my crew?"

"No…I…will…not…join you" Nami barely managed to get out. Her whole body hurt and she felt like she would pass out any second.

'Luffy…' She thought 'Please…I don't know how much longer I can keep myself awake'

"You brat!" He yelled "That's it! I've had it with you!" He boomed angrily while swinging his fist down on her with all of his strength.

Then as if Nami's silent plea for help was answered an arm came and stopped Hohojiro from hitting Nami. "Don't you DARE hurt Nami you bastard!" Yelled the voice that Nami identified to be Luffy's.

"Luffy…." Said Nami weakly as she began to lose consciousness.

"Don't worry Nami" Luffy said "I won't let this bastard hurt you again!"
