Disclaimer: /I don't own One Piece/
This shouldn't have been happening.
-Though it was. Sadly. And I couldn't do anything about it.
As far as I knew, I had slipped into some kind of coma after the crash. It's the only thing I could think of.
Either that or I accept that I am in the world of magic and wonder, filled with treasure and adventure.
...Ha.Like that would ever happen. Stuff like that only ever happens in self-insertions in Fanfiction's online. Something as bizarre would never happen in reality.
Giving out a small sigh, I looked towards the ever-glaring navigator and 'friends' (aka - Usopp and Zoro) who were obviously suspicious of me, but I personally don't blame them.
Me intruding on their 'ship' is the same as someone intruding my flat and staying-Of course, this doesn't matter though.
Because this wasn't real.
"Hey!-...Ugh." Interrupting my not-so-joyful thoughts was the bouncing Straw Hat Captain, who seemed to be thinking thoroughly about something.
-Real or not, the sight was something to see.
"Eh?" I mumbled out, taking my hand off the railing and facing towards him. "What?" Placing my fingers over my mouth, I shrieked. "There's something on my face, isn't there?! Well shit Cleo, there goes your only chance of looking decent in your own version of Inception. Or drug-topia. Neither are different though to be honest."
Blinking, Luffy seemed to blank out from my rumble of words, before his face lit up. "So your name's Cleo?"
Returning the look of blankness to the teen Captain, I tilted my head slightly, before grinning playfully. "It could be."
"Wait, so it's not?"
"Aha, isn't it more interesting and mysterious for me to be nameless?"
Slighting twitching, Luffy leaned in closer, his bug-eyes staring at mine. "So who was Cleo?"
"Cleo could have been anyone. Even an almighty God or a terrifying entity for all you know."
Tilting his head, Luffy pouted. "So you don't know?"
Flinging my finger in front of the Captain, I smirked. Oh. Who knew how fun confusing the Straw Hat teen could be. "And that is the mystery. "
Furrowing his eyebrows together, Luffy placed his finger on his forehead. I would be lying right now if I said I wasn't imagining steam flying out his ears from the strain.
Though that posed a new question.
"Oh. My. -SHIT."
Stumbling back from where I was previously standing, I gasped. Re-putting my palm on the rail to steady my feet, I raised my opposite hand towards my face, studying in every detail of it.
It...looked...3D.
Glancing back up to Luffy, my pupils visibly widened. He didn't looked human-or what I consider human at least. Almost like a model out of one of the many money-grabbing games of my One Piece collection.
A thought crossed of how I didn't notice this before, but instead I waved it off. Instantly placing my hands on Luffy's shoulders (which seemed to grab the attention of the still glaring trio), I shivered. Looking down to the floor, I gulped, unable to take on this much information at once.
"That..." I struggled to mumble out of my mouth, feeling Luffy lean closer to hear my whisper. "is..." Whipping my head up instantly, I felt my eyes shinning at the sight of the slightly-terrified-yet-amused Captain, my mouth simply hanging agape. "so...AMAZING!"
Blinking once more, Luffy raised his eyebrow. "...What is?"
"You!"
"Me?"
Letting my hands fall from his shoulder's, I flung his arms out, expressing my words as fluidly as I could. "I-it's like we're inside a game!-Though I know I am not-It doesn't mean it's not amazing to look at! Honestly, If I ever make it out of this place, I am definitely going to buy another one of your games and just stare at the graphics." Breathing heavily from the huge proclamation, I placed my hands on my knee's, before a confused tone replied.
"...Um. What?"
Before I had time to reply, a stunned voice echoed the deck, causing me and the slightly mind-fucked Luffy to peer towards the said screaming person. "S-SHIT!"
Sanji instantly burst out the room (bringing the door along with him) and ran towards the screaming voice, his eyes widened with worry. "Nami-san! What has these shitty bastards done to you?"
Not recognizing this bit at all, I tilted my head.
"L-Look." Nami stuttered out, before simply pointing out onto the water ahead.
-Nope. I take that back. I remember this bit extremely well. And if it is going in the same direction the anime did...
...then shit indeed.
"We've accidentally sailed into the Calm Belt!" Falling to her knee's, Nami froze on the floor, her eyes wide and her mouth agape.
Hearing shuffling behind me, I turned to see a relatively calm Luffy, his eyebrows narrowed. "Calm...Belt?" He asked, causing me to re-clip to my favorite piece of the deck -the rail- and shake my head.
"It's not Calm. Don't trust the name."
Running up to us with a yell, Usopp happened to cling to the rail as well, throwing his hands over the side. "THAT DOESN'T HELP!"
Shrugging, I let out an exasperated sigh. Looking back over to Usopp, I grinned, pointing my hand over the water. Letting out my creepiest tone, I crackled, causing the said sharpshooter to pale. "Monster's live here. Like huuggee~ ones. Some legends say that for each person that dies here, a thousand new sea-monster's will appear, taking more lives than ever before."
Of course, this was all bullshit I had made up in my head. But it seemed to do it's job, for Usopp simply collapsed on the deck, causing for the eavesdropping Captain behind us to ball out with laughter.
The previously 'dead' Nami seemed to jump back to life by now, flinging several maps at Luffy before grabbing the tip of his shirt. "THIS ISN'T FUNNY YOU IDIOT! If we don't get out of here now...then we'll never even make it to the Grand Line!"
As if someone had switched the 'on' button for Luffy's concentration, the Captain grew a stern face, his eyes glancing over to the water below with worry. "We can't let that happen!"
Letting out a sigh of relief for a split of a second, Nami released her grip on Luffy, before ordering the for everyone to instantly grab a sail and row towards the 'choppy' sea.
I couldn't help but laugh at the word 'choppy', which seemingly pissed off the already-pissy-navigator even more. Reaching over to where Usopp had dragged a sail, I quickly glanced at his face. Feeling a bottle of guilt be washed down my throat, I pitfully stared at the twitching sharpshooter, holding back a laugh as he jerked at each splash.
Eventually we reached the choppier sea, each of us letting out deep breaths of tiredness as Nami barked out again. "We're not done yet, look!"
Once again pointing towards something out in the ocean, our breaths were quickly taken away again, as raindrops started to fall from the sky.
"N-No way." When the hell had we started going up the mountain!?
Rushing over to the figurehead, I watched as Luffy struggled up onto the smiling sheep, his eyes widened with excitement. "The Grand Line..." He whispered under his breath, causing all the ship to go silent.
"...Here we come!"
