Ok I realized that I wrote chapter 6 for chapter seven, sorrysorrysorry. And I know that there are a wole bunch of spelling mistakes but I'm too lazy to fix them. And I've probably forgotten some details and things that I introduced at the eginning of the fic, but wen I'm done with it I'll go back and make sure that everything makes sense so stop freaking out.
AND ALSO I GOT A REVIEW STORY FAVORITE AND STORY FOLLOW IM SCREAMNG IN HAPPINESS RIGHT NOW I CANT EVEN
Chapter 8
CHOMP
Luffy finished off his fifth serving of food. Zoro was close behind, and Usopp and Sanji were tied for third. Nami was on her second, taking leisurely bites every once in awhile as she studied a map. And Tomi was taking a pathetically small bite every hmmm... 10 minutes. She had taken exactly two bites. But was enjoying herself all the same. It was fun watching them race to eat the most, and see the faces they made as they did it. As a kid she used to choke all the time, and it always caused laughs. Here it was even funnier because they were some of the toughest guys she'd ever met-not including Usopp though, of course. And as she looked up, she noticed that the only food left was hers and Nami's.
An eerie silence spread over the deck of the ship as they all turned and stared at hr plate. She looked at her crew mates, surprised. Then glanced back towards her plate. And in one quick movement, shoved as much as she could in her mouth and ran over to the girl's room. The small click from the lock could be heard. And then every head swiveled towards Satomi. She smirked as she noticed that she had their full attention. Tomi grabbed the plate and slowly got up, trying to not to giggle as their eyes followed the plate. This was going to be fun.
"Ok boys. Who wants some food?" she said, as though talking to some dogs. At this, Zoro seemed to snap out of it. He stood up and brushed himseld off.
"I'm not gonna play fetch for you. You guys can have it, I'm going to take a nap." He walked off to another part of the deck with his swords, and sat down. He was asleep in minutes.
"So now it's up to you three. I don't want it-" he stomach grumbled and she blushed neneath the bandages. "So you guys can have it. But you're going to have t-"
"But Tomi dear you're so skinny why don't you eat the food so that you can extend your chest size!?" Sanji said, swooning and looking at her. Tomi smacked him. She was skinny, yes, and it did effect her erm-feminine features, but she wasn't going to go over her limit just for this lovesick puppy. She wanted to at least be able to have a bite at every meal. And whatever she had left over was extra food that he would give to them.
"So Sanji and Zoro aren't playing. Do you guys still want the food?" They nodded. "Well then. Sit." they both sat on their knees. "Umm... roll over." they obeyed each command. "Dance like a ballerina. Smack yourself. Hold your breath for 30 seconds." she was finall out of ideas. Then Tomi looked over at Zoro. "Go draw on Zoro's face with some of Nami's 'forever ink'" Usopp gulped.
"Do I-do I have to?"
"If you wan the food then you do."
"No way. I'm out. Yo can hve it Luffy."
"I CAN!? WOOHOOO!GIMMEGIMMEGIMMEGIMMEGIMME!" Satomi laughed.
"Fine. Here you go. " she emptied the plate into Luffy's open mouth, and laughed as his cheeks stretched out. At this moment Nami came out of her room, and smiled She knew what it was like to laugh after years of nothing but pain and desperation.
"Hey Tomi!" she said, waving her over.
"What is it?"
"Before anything serious or exiting happens, we need to get an idea of the skills you have. Can you sail or navigate in any way?"
"Nope. I have no clue on how to sail a ship, except that the steering wheel or whater controls which way it goes."
"Ok, so we'll need to teach you a bit about that. What are your fighting techniques? Like do you kick like Sanji, do you use swords, guns, your fists?"
"I guess fists. I mostly rely on my devil fruit powers in a fight."
"Hmm... you can take lessons from the others if you want. Like Usopp for aiming and Zoro to get a idea of how to use a blade. Any other talents or abilities that you have?"
"Besides being lazy? Well I can't cook, and can't fix things if they require a lot of knowledge about them, although sometimes my electricity comes in handy. I'm really good at untying knots, but couldn't tie one that didn't look like a deformed lump to save my life. I'm really good at writing and telling stories, can kind of draw if I'm in the mood, and I have a really good sense of direction. Oh! I forgot. I can send out soundwaves, so to speak, that work like echo location almost. It's pretty useful."
"Wow Satomi you're so talented and beautiful! Why don't you take off some of those bandages so I can see your face!" said Sanji.
"Thanks for reminding me. I need some more freckles." Satomi took off the facial bandages and sat down on the deck, exposing her face to the sun. Her nose and cheeks were dotted with a whole bunch of freckles.
"Uh- why do you need more freckles?" Nami asked.
"Oh. I bet that sounded pretty weird to you. When I was a kid my Mom used to say that when I got a new freckle, it was like a kiss from someone who loved me. Almost like a secret way to cheer me up. It backfired a little bit though. The reason she told me that was because I hated my freckles since kids would make fun of me for them, and afterwards when kids would say that Iw ould say 'Well you don't have any freckles, so that means that no one loves you!' I know now that they're just from being out in the sun, but it still makes me feel better. Like she's watching me and saying 'I love you.'"
"Where is your mom?"
"She died a long time ago. I think I was about eleven."
"Well you should tart your lessons anyway. Usopp, how about you go first?"
"Ok! And Tomi, worry not for I am the great Captain Usopp! I have taught some of the most famous pirates on the sea and ruthlessly killed millions! Just the mention of my name strikes fear into the hearts of all!"
"What would you know about killing?" Satomi said menacingly, her voice hollow and filled with the promise of death. She wasn't even looking at him, but at her hand, which was closed tightly around her locket. "You couldn't hurt a fly unless someting like your village was at stake. You don't know a single thing about what it's like to commit a murder, so don't lie and brag about it, because it's not something to brag about. I like you guys, but if you joke about death around me, killing is exactly what you will see me do. So whose voice strikes fear into the hearts of all?"
"N-n-n-n-not-t-t-t m-me?" Usopp asked in a shaky voice. Everyone was quiet, watching to see what she was going to say next. Luffy was staring while licking his fingers, Zoro had woken up to watch, Nami was in shocked silence, and even Sanji was too surprised to go on about how cute she looked or how he was makin some deliscious meal.
"Nw let's get on with these lessons. I'm curious, since you'd have to be a pretty good sharpshooter to be on the same boat as the future King of the Pirates." She looked up and grinned. Luffy smiled, and Zoro smirked before going back to his nap. This girl was pretty tough.
"Ok Tomi, I've set up some targets for you. Shoot at them as best as you can so that I can get an idea of your abilities. Then we'll move on and focus on what you need to work on."
"Ok. Seems easy enough. Although I probably won't be as good as you. I've heard of the incident with Daddy the Father, and I've heard of Yasopp. You guys always talk about the thins that you've done in the past, and it was quite entertaining. But let's get on with it." Satomi reached into the small bag tied t one of her belt loops and pulled out a single stone. It was smooth, and was almost clear, like a quartz of some kind. She help up her glove andplaced it on a small bump that could be seen. She then held up her fingers like they were a gun, and on the top of her bent pointer finger the stone glowed blue and cackled with electricity before attaching itself to the glove.
"What is that!?" asked Usopp.
"Oh this? It's a special gem called the thunder stone. They're known for chnneling lightning and electricity and I use them for weapons. With my devil fruit power I can do a lot of damage with just a few of these things. And the gloves are made of a rare metal. Same with my shoes. It's lightweight but ver strong, and also good at channeling energy. They both help alot in fights but can be very expensive and sell for alot."
"Well show us what you can do."
Tomi held he hands up. She knew it looked ridiculous, but many had died laughing at her while she did this. As she adjusted her hands, hr right eye began to glow. A single, almost non-existant line came out, barely visible to anyone but her. She aligned it with the target and shot.
A blue flash of light shot out of her hand and headed staight for the bulls-eye. It was thinner, smaller, and faster than a bullet. The tiny black x in the middle of the red circle wasn't an x any more. Now it was miniscule hole that you could look thrugh and see the open ocean on the other side.
"So how was that?" Tomi asked, smiling and looking very pleased with herself.
"W-w-what was that!? I thought you said that you weren't a very good shot!?"
"I never said that, I said that I mostly use my shock shock abilities. But I still have to be able to aim. Although without my scope I would've gotten much worse."
"WOOW SO COOL!"
"Oh Satomi why don't you shoot me with some of your kisses!"
"You're up with the guys at this level Tomi."
"Eh, maybe with those lower pirates. But I, the great Captain Usopp, am the greatest pirate on the sea!"
"Yeah, greatest pirate." said Tomi, rolling her eyes. "More like meanest pirate."
"What do you mean?" Nmi asked.
"Yeah, Usopp is really weak."
"HEY LUFFY i'M STANDING RIGHT HERE."
"Well every night after everyone is asleep he comes and slaps me around like a toy! He probably does it so that he can feel good about himself but it hurts so much!"
"Usopp, have yu been hurting this beautiful girl?" said sanji as he walked over.
"What!? No! She's lying!"
"Why would I lie!? You do take pride in being called a liar, right? Why should we trust you? And besides, I am your nakama right? And why would I keep my bandages on if my wounds have already healed? It's to hide the bruises I get from him!"
"YOU BASTARD!"
"NO WAIT SHE'S LYING SHE LYYYIIIINNG!"
Satomi curled up into a ball and started "crying". Nami started to walk over when she suddenly sat up and started laughing.
"HAHAAAAHHAHAAAHAHAA! YOU GUYS ACTUALLY FELL FOR IT HAAHAAAHAA! AND USOPP ACTUALLY CALLS HIMSELF A LIAR OH IT'S TOO MUCH!HAAAAHAAAHA!" Tears filled her eyes she was laughing so hard. "Y-Y- yu actually though I was t-telling th truth! BWAHAHAA! YOU TOTALLY FELL FOR IT!"
"YOU WERE LYING!?" Eveyone asked, while Zoro continued to snore.
"Well duh. I was trying to teach Usopp a lesson in lying. You have to be casual. If you all of a sudden sound all brave an poud when usually you're voice is scared and kinda ridiculous-"
"HEY!"
"Ten everyone will see right through you. You have to act natural before you go into the dramatics. Although I've been lying my whole life, so I have a lot of practice. Add it to my list of many talents." Tomi grinned, and burst into giggles again.
"Guess the student taught the teacher." Nami said, smiling too.
"Usopp you're a pretty bad teacher."
"WELL YOU'RE A PRETTY BAD CAPTAIN!''
"WHAT DID YOU SAY"
"YOU HEARD ME!"
And as Satomi continued to laugh, she was crying inside. Because everything she had said was a lie. Usopp wasn't the one hurting her. Her wounds never really healed. And she wasn't really their nakama.
"Well Tomi we should probably start teaching you how to sail a ship before a major storm hits. Don't want you falling overboard." sai Nami as she sat down.
"But do I have to!?" Tomi whined in response, comically rolling off the figurehead and on to the deck of the ship. Luffy took this chance to run up and take back his spot. He stuck his tongue out at Tomi, who glared in response. He turned around.
"Well of course you have to. You are part of the crew, and you might need to man the ship in an emergency."
"Actually..." Tomi smirked. "SAAAANJIIIIIII!" she called. The blonde head popped out from inside the kitchen.
"Yes Tomi?"
"Could you come here for a minute?"He walked over.
"I was just wondering if you could do my share of work on the ship. It's just that I've been so tired lately, I don't think I can handle it." Tomi then "Fainted" falling and having Sanji catch her, as planned. She looked up and put a hand on his chin. "But I'm sure that a strong prince like you could handle it though, right?" His eyes were hearts that looked like they were about to burst, and he had a stupid smile on his face.
"Anything for you Satomi!"
"Oh.. thank you Sanji." She leaned up and kissed his face, and he floated around the ship in a daze. "Soo... I guess that settles that, right Nami?"
Nami's right eye was twitching in annoyance. "Right."
"Hey, to make it up I'll use my little radar thingy to let you know when a ship or island is approaching, ok? Here, lemme check." Some of the others who had been tuning in on the conversation looked up from what they were doing. They watched silently except for Sanji, who was still in love (pervert) mode as Satomi closed her. The the slightest vibration spread out from her, so soft that if you had taken a breath at the same time you would've missed it. After about a minute she opened her eyes. "There is a medium sized island to the north east of here. To the south there is a small ship, probably just a sailboat because of its size. We should stay away from the west because there is some kind of rock formation jutting out of the water, and there's a chance we might hit it."
"WOAH!"
"SO COOL!" Usopp and Luffy ran over with star eyes.
"DO IT AGAIN!""
"YEAH PLEASE IT WAS SO AWESOME!"
"Well I would but it takes quite a bit of energy and I'm kinda tired. Besides nothing will have changed. I'll do it in a few hours ok?"
"Awwwww...pleeeaassee?" they whined in unison.
"No."
"I'll give you some meat."
"No."
"I'll shoot you if youdon't do it again."
"Go ahead and try."
"I'll give you some money."
"Luffy you don't have any money."
"Ok. Usopp give her some money."
"Why do I have to!?"
"BECAUSE WE WANNA SEE HER COOL TRICK AGAIN REMEMBER!"
"Fine." He took out a small wad of cash. He watched as she raised her eyebrows and smiled. "But... I'll only give it to you if you do the thing."
"Let me see the money. You are a liar so it's probably fake. I want to look at it first and give it a test to see if it's real."
"Oh you have a point. You can check but trust me, it's real." He hnded it to her, not noticing her smirk. Tomi took obe of the bills and held it up to the light, proving that it was real. "I told you. ow give it back and do the thingy." Satomi folded the bills back up and slowly gave them back to Usopp.
Luffy grinned. "Do it do it do it!"
Satomi didn't look up and walked over to the figure head. She climbed up it and lay down. Her hair was covering her eyes. A minute passed and she didn't move. "Heeey... " he whined. "Aren't you gonna do it?"
"No."
"WHAAAT!?"
"YOU SAID YOU WOULD DO IT!"
"No I didn't."
"MEANIE!" They continued to bicker, getting madde as she continued to answer with her bored tone. Zoro smirked. Just then Nami walked out holding a map.
"You were right. There is an island." She opened the map to show everyone.
"It's called Kokonatsu?"
"That's right. Also known as the Land of Coconuts."
Another chapter done! sorry it took me awhile. Oh! I just remembered. To all my LuNa lovers out there, Confession68 writes the best fics for them!
Author's note:
Now I've gotten some complaints about Luffy and the "lightning" in my story. Apparently he's immune to it, and so Tomi shouldn't have been able to hurt him. I'm only in the 150 in the show, and in the arlong park arc in the manga, so I wouldn't know. Lets just say Tomi made him immune or something, or that she affects him because she got her powers from adevil fruit, ok?
And also I'm sorry if I don't make the chararcters interact too much. I'm slowly warming up and getting them to interact more, and I hope it maks the story better. And another thank you to my revierws, and story followers and favorite(er)s!
