Couldn't help but upload the second chapter today :) Enjoy and please review
The crew woke up groggily as they started their morning rituals. Dragging themselves out of bed they suddenly heard something that woke them and put a smile on their face. The little girl was laughing. Not just laughing but gut wrenching laughter. Luffy was the first onto the deck wanting to join the fun. The crew soon heard Luffy laughing loudly and their curiosity got the best of them and they all ventured onto the deck. Zoro had the little girl in his arms who was red in the face from laughing.
"Again Zoro again" The girl said between laughing. "Ok ok" Zoro said with a smile on his face as well.
He outstretched his arms and threw his arms up releasing the girl who flew upwards. Zoro threw her so high she was could have touched the crow's nest. The crews' jaws dropped at the man's action. The little girl came back down and Zoro quickly caught her by the waist. She was laughing so hard that her face turned a deeper red. Zoro looked at her face and started laughing to. The crew was startled. The only time Zoro laughed was when he was partying with the crew or he just found someone that was worth a battle.
"Again Zoro" The little girl squeled
"Hold on let us catch our breath first" Zoro said still smiling. They both took a deep breath and the little girl's face returned to normal color. They both seemed oblivious to their audience.
"Again please Zoro" the little girl said dripping with sweetness one more time.
"Ok one more time though" Zoro said
"High though Zoro" she said holding her hands up to make sure Zoro understood. "Alright" Zoro agreed.
The crew watched as Zoro crouched down and couldn't believe the guy was serious. The guy could lift a building and here he was throwing a toddler! Right before he was going to throw her up the crew screamed "WAIT ZORO". This only made things worse as they startled Zoro who threw his hands up only adding speed to the powerful throw. They all stared upward at the little girl who was flying upwards in the sky until she soon became just a dot. Zoro had his mouth hanging open with worry etched all over his face.
"YOU IDIOT" Nami screamed
"MARIMO" Sanji exclaimed
"DEMON" Chopper and Usopp yelled
"NOT SUPA" Franky screamed
"SANTORYU" Luffy screamed
No one decided to lecture Luffy as the little girl was coming back down. Zoro jumped and caught her slightly shorting the fall. Everybody stared at the little girl. Her hair was windblown and the once curly hair was now standing straight up defying gravity. They waited for a reaction, tears, screams, refusal to speak for the rest of her life. They waited seconds passing but it seemed like hours. The little girl blinked and suddenly her face broke into a smile and she began to laugh where her entire body shook "Again again" she said breathlessly. Zoro smiled more of relief this time.
"No that was the last one ok"
She pouted "Alright Zoro"
"Good girl" he put her down and was going to walk away.
"Hey Zoro what's my name ...is it girl" The crew stared at the little girl in confusion. Zoro scratched his head trying to think of what to say. "Well what were you called before?"
The little girl blushed "I never had one. I was called it or that, but that's not a name is it?" she tried to smile at Zoro clearly showing she was embarrassed.
Robin quickly walked to the girl embraced her. Getting to her eye level Robin kneeled in front of her and asked "Would you like us to give you a name or would you like to make one for yourself" The little girl thought and finally stared at Zoro "Zoro can you pick me a name please."
Zoro was taken back and scratched his head "Hmm well let's see what would be a good name" The little girl tried to flatten her hair with no use and just smiled weakly.
Damn don't screw this up Zoro thought. Everyone waited and the little girl began fidgeting. Zoro asked for a pen and everyone watched as Zoro wrote something on his hand. He looked at it and nodded before he showed his hand and said confidently "Greycie"
"Greycie?" everyone said in confusion
"Baka you spelled it wrong its supposed to be G-r-a-c-i-e"
"No I spelled it like that because of her eyes" Zoro argued. Everyone stared at the little girl's eyes who were a beautiful grey.
Nami stood up and walked over to the girl. Do you want Gracie or Greycie" She stared at Nami who was smiling and at Zoro who looking at the sea,
She nodded and pointed to her eyes. "Greycie" she said with a nod that mirrored Zoro's. The crew laughed and Nami sighed "Alright you are now Greycie" Everyone cheered
"Sanji big breakfast for our nakama Greycie" Luffy cheered
"Alright give me five minutes" Sanji headed to the kitchen and the crew dispersed.
"Hey Grey lets go wash up for breakfast" Zoro looked for Greycie but found Nami was whispering something into Greycie's ear who was now giggling.
"Oi Greycie come on lets go wash our hands" Zoro told her but she shook her head no while still giggling with Nami. Zoro who was hungrily hurriedly said "Look you can wash your hands or you can jump into the water to wash which one is it going to be" "Fine" she said with a grin and before Zoro could stop her she ran and squeezed herself through the railing going overboard.
"GREYCIE" Zoro yelled and quickly jumped overboard.
Everybody ran out after hearing the yell but stopped when they saw Nami rolling on the ground. Between breaths she said "I told Greycie to jump overboard so Zoro would jump after her" She quickly explained as she saw the crew's horrified faces. "But don't worry Robin caught her before she could touch the water." she waited for the laughter and was greeted by silence. When she looked at them she saw Robin who's eyes were wide with surprise "NAMI, ROBIN WAS GETTING COFFEE" The crew screamed. Nami turned to Robin who unemotionally said "Were you planning to prank swordsman-san right away.
"Oii is somebody going to throw me a rope" an angry voice said
"OH SHIT" Nami screamed. They fished the two out of the water and were greeted by a very pissed Zoro and a crying Greycie who wailed when she saw Nami. "Nami you said Robin would catch me you fibber!"
