Has anyone ever noticed that Luffy is EXACTLY like Natsu from Fairy Tail? They both act like idiots, the first person of their group was a guy (Happy and Zoro), the second was a girl (Nami and Lucy), they have strange eating habits, they will do anything for their nakama, they can beat the crap out of anyone they want, and they have the same shipping name (NaLu) for NamiXLuffy and NatsuXLucy. Just thought it was a funny yet extremely awesome coincidence.
We were falling into the world below with nothing to stop us. We left Sky Island a few hours ago with an octopus hot air balloon to help get us down safely. I was perfectly fine with that... until Luffy started jumping on it like a trampoline and it couldn't hold its breath. So now we are falling into the water below while Nami is yelling at our idiot captain. Thank god she knows how to fix it. With help from Nami, Luffy and Robin were able to get us back on track. Only problem is that we don't know where we will land, and my gut instinct says that it will not be anywhere fun.
Stupid gut instinct. we landed with a massive splash... right inside one of the toughest Marine bases on the Grand Line. Bright lights were put on the ship and we quickly split up. It never ends! I thought as I ran, no destination in mind, I just knew that I had to get away from there. I ended up inside the base and ran into something. No, someone. I looked up and found myself looking at Zoro. CRAP I yelled in my head. Ever since Upper Yard, I had been trying to keep myself in check around him, and for me to run into him here, literally, made me want to punch a hole in the wall.
I had unconsciously followed Zoro's scent while I was running and poof, my nose worked as usual. Now that I had stopped flipping out, I looked at his face a bit more carefully. He seemed lost. Knowing Zoro, he probably is, but then again, so am I. "Zoro, we need to find the others and get to the ship." I quickly said pulling his arm. We were walking at first, but when we heard footsteps we started to run, finding ourselves on a balcony. "Where's the ship?" I asked out loud, forgetting to be quiet. I almost had a heart attack when Nami came rushing out onto the balcony with us, a Marine uniform on.
"Zoro? Luna? You two shouldn't be out in the open! They will know who you are as soon as they get one glance at you!" Nami said while grabbing Zoro's swords from him and tossing them on a nearby rock.
"Hey!" We both yelled in unison. I know it was for a good reason, but Nami should know better than to randomly throw a swordsman's weapons away like that.
"Shut it! Someone is coming! You two need to hide for now and we'll meet up later at the ship." Nami hissed at us. Zoro hurdled the balcony with me right behind him, the both of us hanging only by our hands. Zoro only had one hand on from trying to get his swords back.
I heard Nami talking to a Marine while Zoro got one of his swords. I silently cheered him on as I heard Nami's footsteps die away. He almost got another one when he slipped and fell into the water along with his other two swords. I yelled his name and let go, falling into the water after him. Big mistake considering I can't swim. CRAP! I felt a pair of arms around me and I was soon above water, able to breath again. He had saved me along with his swords. Only problem now was that we were surrounded by Marines.
It wasn't long until we were in a cell, although I did get to have the honor of kicking a decent amount of Marines in their soft spot. They put normal rope to bind my hands, which was good since I wasn't in the mood to get my wrists burnt. I had felt so useless for a while and I was determined to change that. As soon as the door shut I turned into my wolf form, breaking the rope. I was getting ready to charge when Zoro got in front of me and said with a stern look on his face, "Stop. Remember what happened last time you charged a cage? This is a Marine base, do you really think that they won't have any sea prism stone built into their cells?" I let out a growl and turned back to my human form. I hated this with a deep passion.
Usopp ended up in our cell with some random guy that he started calling our nakama. He was probably the special Marine that was supposed to visit the base. Nice thinking Usopp! I started playing along, earning a grin from the sniper. The guards started forming a trap around the cell for Luffy, who ended up running head first yelling, "ZORO! LUNA! USOPP!". Once we were free, we helped Luffy escape from all of the Marines, finally giving me the chance to fight. I turned into my half point and started hacking down anything I could see that wasn't my nakama.
We started running once they were all defeated when Usopp said, "Is it really ok for Zoro to be in the front?".
"What?!" Zoro asked angrily as we started heading the wrong direction and got lost. I couldn't help but laugh as we ran, Luffy now leading the way to the ship. With a lot of running and fighting, we managed to get to the ship and started sailing away from a lot of battle ships. The tide suddenly dropped and the Going Merry couldn't go any farther. Luffy got a crazy idea and got some of the dials that Usopp had gotten from Sky Island. He put them at the back of the ship and we went flying above the walls of the base into the air. Not long after, the octopus balloon was up and we were flying away into the sunset.
It was nice to relax on the ship after the constant battles, so I was a little sad when we reached the next Island, only to have Luffy enter a competition with the Foxy Pirates that could lead to us losing a member of the crew. I was the only one to sit out the first event, a race around the Island on ships that we built. The captain of the Foxy Pirates cheated at the last second and stopped Nami's group from crossing the finish line, resulting in the loss of our adorable doctor. Poor Chopper looked like he was about to cry. I asked if I could go and congratulate their new shipmate in private. As soon as we were out of sight, I hugged the sad reindeer and said, "Don't worry Chopper, we're going to get you back. That's a promise!"
The next event was supposed to be Sanji, Zoro, and Chopper, but he was with the Foxy pirates, so I ended up taking Chopper's place. The object of the game was to get the others team's ball to go into a tube on their side of the field. Sanji ended up being the ball, which means that he had a ball strapped to the top of his head. I started to feel the adrenaline coursing through my body. I could tell that Zoro and Sanji felt it too. We probably looked scary since I heard Nami say that we looked like monsters. When the opponents were announced, the three of us glared daggers at them, a dark aura surrounding us accompanied by fire. I cracked my neck and said, "This is going to be fun." I earned a nod from the blonde and a massive grin from the marimo while he cracked his knuckles.
Even though no weapons were allowed, Zoro still fought like a god, so I was confident that we would win. The game started and we charged, not really working together. We all got pretty beat up and Sanji was already heading towards the goal when Zoro picked up the smallest member of the opponents team and used him as a bat to smack his team mate along with Sanji. Between the three of us, the only one left was the ball, and all three of us went in to attack him at the same time, different motives in mind, only to slip right off his skin. I could hear Nami shouting at us to work as a team, but I was too busy watching the big guy pull out a weapon and smash it into Zoro and Sanji.
Sanji quickly got up and started yelling at the referee, who was "coincidentally" not looking. He said that if he didn't see it, then he couldn't disqualify him. I smiled when Sanji kicked him in the face, but that smile quickly disappeared when he was given a yellow card and I had to drag him away from the ref. We went at it again, trying to beat the three giants with massive weapons. I slashed and bit, Zoro punched, and Sanji kicked the crap out of them, but we were soon on the ground, bloodied and beaten, looking in defeat as a massive weapon was getting ready to hit us.
"Just this once, I'll compromise and work with you, you stupid cook". Zoro said, a slight grin playing at the corner of his mouth.
"For once, I agree with you." Sanji replied, lighting a cigarette.
"This will definitely interesting considering I've always fought as a lone wolf." I said as I slowly got up. We looked at each other once we were up and I felt a spark. We were off, the three of us running side-by-side. I put on a burst of speed, turning into my wolf form and ran in to distract the two smaller giants while Zoro and Sanji went after the big guy. Zoro picked up Sanji and threw him straight at the guys head, kicking him in the face, knocking him down as the ball on his head went right into the goal...We won!
The three of us went over to the others and collapsed on the ground. "You look like crap," I said jokingly as I looked over at Zoro. He gave me another one of those heart-stopping smile and said, "Speak for yourself." We started laughing as he stood up and came over to sit by me.
"I'm glad your ok," he said in a more serious tone as he moved a stray piece of hair out of my face. He took a wet washcloth and started to clean me up. When he finished, I took it from him and said, "Your turn" as I started to clean him up.
"Guess we both will be getting some new scars" I laughed once we were done. He had one on his side and I got two on my right arm.
Luffy came over with a massive grin on his face. I looked around expecting to see Chopper and instead found an angry Nami along with a surprised crew as a tall horse walked by. I smacked myself in the head. He chose the horse instead of Chopper so he could give her back to that stilts-ossan. That meant that if we didn't win the next round, not only would we lose Chopper, but we would also lose another nakama. I let out a long sigh. This is going to be a long day.
Sorry for the short chapter. I'll try to make the next one longer.
