Behind The Tiger Prints
Yay! Chapter 3 is here! It actually took me a minute because I wanted to add a little more detail that I forgot to add and more stuff about Jewel because there were some things about her that were important that I missed too. Plus add a little more comedy between Sanji and Zoro. So enjoy and don't forget to rate and review.
Chapter 3: Jewel's Transformation/Showing Her Skills
As the sun was rising in the sky Jewel found herself alone in the women's quarters on Robin's bed. She rubbed her eyes with her hands while sitting up to put her feet on the floor drowsily walking to the door and extending her hand to turn the knob. She stopped as soon as her hand touched the door only to stare not believing what she was seeing. It was her hand, Her human hand, Which could only mean that she was human again. She ran to the bathroom to look at herself in the mirror and screamed with joy that she was normal again forgetting that she would scare the others on the ship.
''Jewel are you okay? Is everything alright?'' Robin asked running into the room out of breath. Then staring at the strange person in her bathroom.
''Robin it's me! It's Jewel!, Well a naked version of me.'' Jewel said to Robin.
''Well yes you are right about that.'' Robin said while laughing a little making Jewel blush rose red through her medium-dark complexion.
''How about you take a nice shower and I'll make some clothes for you.'' Robin said.
''Oh no! If I'm back to normal then where are my things? I don't know what I would do if I lost the things my mother gave me! What will I do!?'' Jewel dropped to the floor crying.
''It's alright I'm sure we can-'' Robin said not finishing because Sanji was calling for her and Jewel. Robin quickly grabbed her sheets to hide Jewel's body from Sanji.
''Zoro found this stuff in the crow's nest, Do you all know who it belong to?'' Sanji asked while holding things in his hands.
''My things! Oh thank you Sanji!'', Jewel said Smiling from ear to ear.
''Your welcome my sweet Jewel~Chan! What would you like for breakfast this morning?'' Sanji said dancing in circles.
''Hmm, Pancakes and French toast would be nice.'' Jewel said still smiling widely.
''Then it shall be waiting for you when you arrive my princess.'' Sanji said while taking his cigarette out of his mouth, Planting a soft kiss on the back of her hand. His actions making her blush furiously.
''Mr. Cook, How did you know it was Jewel?'' Robin asked curious as to how he knew.
''A man never forgets a beautiful woman's face no matter how she may look he will always know who she really is.'' Sanji said dramatically while letting go of Jewel's hand and placing his cigarette back in place. Robin only smiled as she had already guessed what he would say.
''Well off to make breakfast.'' Sanji said walking back to the kitchen.
''I guess I'll leave you to get ready, I'm on the top desk near the figure head if you need me.'' Robin said while leaving to catch up on some reading.
Jewel took a very nice relaxing shower and got dressed. Now walking to the kitchen to eat her breakfast seeing everyone there except for Robin and Nami, Both were near the figure head studying as she passed by. She walked in the kitchen to see Chopper, Franky, Brook, Usopp, and Luffy fighting for food. Jewel saw her plate on the bar area near Sanji. And went to eat before they were finish and tried to eat her food too.
She occasionally saw a bone or two fly by from them eating, and could only laugh. Once she was finished she helped Sanji with the dishes and soon as they were finished she went to the deck outside of the kitchen. Down the stairs from the kitchen she saw Zoro training with weights while Luffy and the others were fishing with Franky nowhere in sight. Then Zoro looked at her and smiled like he was up to something, Something that made Jewel feel uneasy.
''You never mentioned you were a swordswoman.'' Zoro said with the same smile on his face putting his weight on his shoulder. He said it just loud enough to get Luffy and the others attention.
Jewel completely forgot that she had her swords with her and that Zoro was a swordsman. Now remembering she knew she couldn't get out of whatever he was up to. So she gave in hoping he wouldn't challenge her.
''Yes I am, I learned from my parents and my mother taught me how to make weapons too.'' Jewel said with a bit of hesitation in her voice. Zoro was cut off by Usopp who saw the little slingshot in a holder on her right thigh.
''Hey, You have a slingshot. Can you sharp shoot too?'' Usopp asked with interest. Right when she was about to answer Usopp's question Luffy cut him off.
''Can you show me? Try and shoot that big rock down.'' Luffy begged pointing at a nearby rock.
''Good idea Luffy. I want to see you cut down and shoot those ones over there, and if you don't make it you'll have to spare with me.'' Zoro said while he was propped up on his swords with everyone waiting to see what she would do. Even Franky, Nami, Robin and Brook were watching.
''Okay.'' Jewel said in a casual tone. She walked down to the side of the ship and unsheathing her sword that rested on her right shoulder.
In one quick motion she cut the air three times with only using one hand, Sending translucent-rainbow waves to the boulder knocking it down fully and with complete ease. While putting her sword back and putting on her glasses from one of her two little holders under her sling shot, She fired a little black ball just as fast that went through the big rock without knocking it down at all. Just as she took her glasses off and placed them back in the holder the rock cracked and it too broke completely. Everyone was in awe at how she did that so fast yet she seemed so unlike her from how she acted. Goes to show you not every book should be judged by its cover.
''That's so cool!, Do it again. Oh please do it again.'' Luffy pleaded with sparkles in his eyes.
''Well it seems we got us a SUPER swordswoman and sniper here. You're pretty good little missy.'' Franky said with a smile and wink.
''That's expected of my little princess! She is the prettiest jewel in the ocean!'' Sanji sung as loud as he could.
''Oh and what about me and Robin, Sanji?'' Nami asked with sarcasm in her tone. Robin just shook her head smiling while reading her book.
''Jewel may be my princess but my Nami~Swan and Robin~Chwan will always be my queens.'' Sanji said while bowing to them both.
''It seems like you're jealous of Jewel because she's getting all of Sanji's attention Nami.'' Zoro said looking smug. Getting a slightly nervous look out of Nami because some of the crew noticed it too and making Sanji charge for Zoro ready to kick him for making up something so horrible about his Nami~Swan.
''You shitty second class swordsman! My beautiful Nami~Swan would never be so cruel and you'll apologize until she is satisfied or else I'll starve you to death!'' Sanji yelled with fire surrounding him.
''Oh really, Well maybe you're just too blind to see how much of a witch that thing really is, You blind clumsy ass cook! And who needs your stinking food I'll be healthier without it!'' Zoro said looking equally pissed as Sanji.
''Guys, Just calm down. I really don't care about getting attention or not it's no big deal.'' Jewel said standing in between the two. Making them both back away without a word.
''You didn't even have to hit them! Now I really want you to join my crew! Can you tell us what else you can do?'' Luffy said shocked at how easily she stopped Sanji and Zoro.
''Yohoho! I want to hear more stories too, Although I have no ears to hear, Yohoho!'' Brook said while playing his violin.
''Yes, Story time!'' Luffy yelled sitting patiently for Jewel to start.
''Luffy's right I want to hear about your mother. If I can recall you said she was an Ohara survivor, Correct?'' Robin said putting her book on the table near her chair and coming to sit on the steps.
''Yes she was, Since you want to hear. Then I have no choice.'' Jewel said. Seeing Sanji bring food out to the deck for everyone while they listen and take his own seat to hear her as well.
''I'll start with my mother. Well she was born and raised on Ohara but after a while when the rumors came on about the island having books about the Void Century and Poneglyphs she learned all she could out of fear for her safety and fled a year before the island was destroyed. That's why she was in the South Blue and she was a sharpshooter which is how I learned. She taught me how to read poneglyphs but she told me to never tell anyone that I did because they could betray me and I'll be sent to the World Government, Impel Down or killed so I kept it to myself.'' Jewel said.
''You can read poneglyphs!'' Everyone yelled in surprise. Jewel only nodded with a small smile and continued her story.
''I only told one person and that was my best friend Lilly and you all of course. Lilly's mother is the woman who took care of me when my mother passed, So me and her grew up as close as sisters would be since we were both the only child our parents had. Lilly sometimes would help me improve my skills with my swords since she uses three sword style like you Zoro, Although after all this time I might be better than her now.'' Jewel said.
''What are your swords named anyway? And why do you wear them like that?'' Zoro asked wanting to see them for himself.
Author's Note: (I'm doing the ''Jewel said'' at the end of her sentences so you won't get confused of who's talking and the ''Japanese/English'' thing for the different names of her swords.. If it's wrong correct me)
''Well Zoro this one is named ''Hikari No Megami/Light Goddess'' Jewel said holding up the white and gold katana. Light Goddess has a white and gold grip with a gold guard that is shaped like a sunflower, The blade is translucent except for the grove/back which are gold.
''This one is named ''Ankoku No Kishi/Dark Knight'' Jewel said holding a black and silver katana. Dark Knight has black and silver grip with a black guard that is shaped like an oval and has silver dragon designs on it. The blade is black with a raspberry-purple edge.
''Well I'm right handed so I wear them on my left side, and how I wear them tells my relationship with them. I wear Light Goddess on my shoulder because she supports me and watches my back while I wear Dark Knight on my hip because he helps me stand my ground. Jewel said smiling brightly until there was an explosion right next to the ship.
!Boom!
Author's Note: (Plus if she reaches for both of swords at the same time it looks like an L ''the letter my first name starts with'' from Jewel's point of view…Go on try it and see)
Sorry another cliffhanger…I know I'm a terrible person but here is where I stop besides it's late and I have to think of what I wanna do for this fight scene and who I want them fighting…Give me some ideas on who you think they should fight and why and if it sounds good I'll gladly write it and I'll give you credit don't worry. With all that being said see you next chapter! XD
