sorry for shocking you

Chapter 3

Monkey D. River lay in the crows nest with her blue eyes closed and her tanned arms was tucked behind her head. Her waist long hair hung loosely below her as the breeze lifted it up in soft gestures. The small crew below he kept sneaking worried glances in her direction. Ignoring it all, River let out a content breath, and opened her eyes.

"This is the lifffffahhhhhhhhhh!"

River screamed as she fell out. Looking down she spied a large wave blanketed over the deck of the Roaring dragon. Mia screamed as the sea water pushed her below the deck knocking in to Pri who caught her, Milou was steering and struggled to stay on corse Will who was below deck the whole time getting lunch ready with the help of Kai who went to help not two minutes before.

"River!"

Mia yelled out as the mysterious waved gave River a soft landing and slamming her into the mast. River growled and tried to pull herself up and to keep herself from drowning. Mia would help her captain if the water hadn't slammed the door closed. River began to panic as the saltwater began to fill her lungs making her gag. When she did free her self from the wrath of the ocean water by climbing a rope, Milou still struggled but the water never touched him. Looking up River found no clouds in the sky and no deadly breeze, just the rocking of the ship and the power waves that tried to pull the ship below.

"Milou turn around!"

River yelled from across the deck. Milou grunted and let loose the wheel. It went in a wild spin to the left and the ship sharply turned almost making River fall off once more.

"Captain!"

Milou yelled and tried to reach out to her as the water once again came to wash her off. Milou nearly jumped in as River fell over board, her body flailing out and she screamed at Milou to stay.

"RIVER!"

"MILOU STAY ON THE SHIP AND I'LL MEET YOU AT THE NEXT ISLAND!"

River yelled before her body\made contact with the cold ocean waters, her mind went black.

The sound of the calm waves was like a lullaby in her ears and the cool waters touched her skin. Her blue eyes fluttered open and the glair of the sun made her squint. Sitting up was harder then she thought, and instantly her head pounded.

"wha?"

River asked as she looked around palm trees with large coconuts hanging on the leaves. She dragged herself to her feet, which was harder then sitting up. Wobbling she walked down the beach trying to find a town. She huffed at her misfortune and soon became hungry.

"Great."

She rolled her eyes as her stomach growled. She realized her climbing skills needed work because she couldn't even reach the bananas high in the tree, she cursed them all. Even the coconut trees. She then went in deeper in the forest of coconut and banana trees and came upon a strange tree. The trunk was blue and the leaves were a bright yellow, but it's the middle of summer and the leaves should still be the bright and radiant green like the ones on Recochoco Island.

"Da'fuck?"

River asked no one in particular. She noticed a strange shaped fruit that hung low on the branches the shape was zigzagged and a blue with yellow specs in it, shrugging River took the fruit, it was slick and shiny. River took a large bit out of the strange fruit it was okay but not alright ether. Taking another bit and it was the most terrible thing she ever ate! She should've thrown it away but she was staving and some how chocked the whole thing down.

"Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew that was sooo grows!"

She ranted and dragged herself back to shore, looking out she let out a breath.

"Ow, my stomach hurts sooo bad!"

She whined holding her poor stomach with her arm as the other was held at her temple acting as binoculars as she scanned for any boats going by, but came up empty handed. Sighing she placed her hands on her hips and flinched as her stomach did a summersault, she fall to her knees and let in a large gasp of air.

"What the Fuck!"

She yelled and felt a sudden tingle in her fingers; she was shocked to find small sparks of electricity dancing off the tips of her fingers, the crackled and zipped out in all directions. River let out another gasp as the electricity engulfed her whole body, but strangely it done nothing to hurt her but it felt natural even though she never held this power.

"Total win!"

River exclaimed doing a fist pump, as started to skip with the electricity zipping and zapping, and crackling as it trailed behind her.

"This. Is. AWESOME!"

"Excuse me miss, but you're going to hurt yourself."

"Who said that!"

River yelled out in shock spinning on her heels to face a teen not much older then herself maybe a year of two older. His short black hair was wild and untamed but to short to look messy, his gray eyes were narrow. Hair on his chin and the sides were obviously trimmed. He wares a black hoodie and pail jeans with black spots. His arms are folded over his chest with a amused look on his face for his lips were curled up in a smirk.

"Who are you?"

The teen's smirk got bigger.

"I could ask the same for you, why are you on my island?"

River was taken aback, but smiled wide at him. The lat of the jolts demisted back into her body.

"My name is Monkey D. River, and I'm captain of the NorthernLight crew!"

The teen didn't look convinced.

"Ahuh, and why are you on my island?"

River looked nerves and scratched the back of her head.

"well- for some reason the waves picked up and I was thrown over board, my navigator is going to meet back up with me at the next island so I'm guessing this is the next island.."

Still not looking convinced, he sighed and looked at her.

"I'm Trafalgar Volkner, and I can take you to the village on the other side of the island."

River's eyes bogged of their eye sockets.

"THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ISLAND I WAS SO SURE I WALKED AROUND THE WHOLE THING!"

Volkner cracked a grin.

"This island has mysterious powers surrounding it, anyone whom doesn't live her finds themselves lost often and dies thanks to Mother Nature."

Volkner said staring out at the sea. River sat drawing her knees close to her and wrapping her arms around them in the beach sand looking up at the teen in wounded, his hands on his hips and a far off look.

"Hey Volkner, who is your father?"

Volkner gazed down at her giving a illusion of glaring with a brow razed.

"Why do you ask?"

"My father may know him."

Volkner nodded it was reasonable enough.

"My father is Trafalgar Law."

River's eyes glazed over as realization hit her and a small smile turned into a world dominating one. River jumped once more to her feet and grabbed Volkner's hand. Volkner looked started but did not pull away from her strong grip.

"Come on Volkner."

Felt at spark go up his arm when he realized she was close to shocking him, before he could say anything he was on the ground his world dark. River looked down and as the new information processed in her mind she finally realized he was out cold from her Lightning.

"Well how will I get to the village now?"

She pouted and placed her hand on her hips. She went behind the teen and slid her arms through his and dragged him to the nearest palm tree and sat him against the trunk. She went off and found some dried drift wood and went back and sat the wood on the sand.

"Now how am I going to start a fire?"

After a moment to think she snapped her fingers.

"THAT'S IT!"

She exclaimed in her own genius and zapped the drift wood; the fire came up almost obediently and waved in a free and untamed motion. River lay back with her arms spread wide and let out a puff of air. Rolling her head to the side she looked at Volkner's slumped body. He looked peaceful and less dangerous.

"Hmm, I want you to join my crew."

River thought out loud and her thoughts did not go unheard.

"Nh."

Volkner stirred his narrowed gray eyes opened in a dazed and sleep deprived lazy blinks. He raised his hand and whipped it down his face, his stare was on river was she made a fuss as she stumbled to her feet and cursed the sand.

"Volkner I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to shock you, I need to learn to control the devil's fruit power!"

She exclaimed but refused to touch him as he struggled to stand, Volkner rubbed the back of his neck.

"It's fine just fallow me and I'll take you there."

Volkner turned and headed into the palm forest, River stumbled after him and nearly tripped over a coconut that had fallen. She cursed her luck, and fell in to step next to him. Volkner smiled down at her and lead the way to his village.
