New Nakama (Heart pirates)

Just wanted to answer the say reviews I had, don't worry I'll try keep them short.
Akrim= Good to hear you like the story. I understand that he wouldn't need assistance in his operation's as he has counterschock, but he wanted to test his theory out on the chef. Also, the reason why he wants Gem on his crew is because if he's unavailable for some reason or he's the victim then she will be convenient. It was probably hard to tell, I'm thinking of making the story in Gem's pov and Law's pov. Thanks for the review.

Chapter5 Soulwater June

Law's Pov

I yawned and stretched my arms bringing myself from the dream world back to reality. Recalling last nights event's, I groaned. What was I thinking? Letting a child into my crew. But...she could prove useful to the crew. No wait, It'll damage my reputation, Surgeon of Death 24 years old, is saved from a tragic death by a child. But then again, they don't have to know...
"Captain?"
I looked up and saw Bepo at the door, he must have knocked, he always does, I must have been too caught up with my thoughts to hear it.
"What is it Bepo?" I sighed. I didn't like my crew seeing me in such a state, I am the Captain after all.
"We've reached an Island Captain" replied Bepo.
"Tell the crew to gather up in 10 minutes on the deck." I ordered.
"Aye Aye Captain!" saluted Bepo, and with that, he left.
As soon as the door closed, I got up and started heading towards the shower.

Gem's Pov

I was sitting on the beach, watching the sunset. It was beautiful, the way the orange, red and yellow blended against one another as if it were a painting. It made me think about my past, the way I would always go to the beach to get away from the noise and arguments, just to relax and watch the sky sink lower and lower until it was dark then sneak back into the house and find everyone sleeping.
I sighed. Those were good times and I wished it could stay like that forever. Nobody dying, nobody in pain, nobody turn evil. But I knew it was just wishful thinking.
"Megan?"
I turned my head and saw a younger girl sitting next to me with long, straight, black hair and white, pale skin. She wore an emerald green dress and tiny pink shoes. I couldn't see her face, her hair was hiding it. She had such a small petite, fragile figure, It was a wonder she didn't drop dead.
I didn't recognize her so I waited to see if she would say more, and she did.
"Megan," she said, turning her head. I could now see her face and was in shock.
"I figured you'd be cold out here so I got your jacket." she said staring at me with blue orbs.
It was Lucy. I couldn't believe it. My younger sibling, here infront of me, and alive.
I took the jacket with one hand and put it on. It felt warm. I turned my head to Lucy.
"Thanks," I said, trying for a smile.
She just smiled back.
Suddenly I was falling, into a deep black hole getting darker and darker.
"Gem?" called a voice,"Gem, Hey Gem!"

I opened my eyes to see two black beady eyes staring right at me. I then saw white fur. White fur? I blinked alittle as my eyes focused on who was infront of me.
It was a bear.
I gasped and very ungraciously fell off the bed, successfully earning a bump on the head by the lamp table.
"Ouch!" I rubbed my head and came to a sitting position.
"Are you ok?" asked a voice. I looked up to see the bear, was it talking to me?
"W-Who are you?" I asked, I knew this world was full of surprises but I never thought I'd see a talking bear.
"I'm Bepo, the 1st mate of the Captain!" he said abit proudly, the dropped his head down low with a depressing aura, "Sorry."
I shook my head. This bear was the 1st Mate of that proud Captain? Then I remembered he was my Captain too. This bear is my Nakama?
Bepo seemed to remember his purpose for coming here, straightened up and said,
"That's right! The Captain said he want's everyone on the deck in 10 minutes, we've arrived at a small Island for re-stocking supplies."
Then he abruptly left. Leaving me still on the floor thinking what the hell I have gotten myself into.

Law's Pov

I got up from the table leaving a empty plate and coffee mug behind.
"Bye Captain." said Agatone as he continued washing the plates.
I just waved a hand as I left through the door. When I got on deck, I was relieved to find everyone there, on time...except one person. Gem. I went back into the sub to her room, thinking she might have gotten lost. It did take a couple of days for me to get used to it.
I didn't bother knocking and just opened the door to find her sleeping on the bed with a book open. She must have gotten ready as her hair was wetting the pillow. Probably reading to pass time, I thought.
I went over to her side and shook her shoulder. She groaned and turned over, the book falling to the ground with a loud thud. She jumped at the sound and sat up.
"W-What is it?" she looked round to see what had caused the commotion then saw me. She looked at me for a while then it seemed to register who I was.
"Oh it's just you." she said swinging her legs to the side of the bed.
Just me? I thought.
"Your late," I said, " you were supposed to he on deck with everyone else."
"Oh right right." she said frantically running to get her back and dumping stuff inside it," Sorry, let's go?" she said walking to the door.
I started at her. She was definitely hyper active. She must have eaten something earlier or last night.
"Captain?" Gem said looking back.
I just nodded and started walking to the door.
She walked here and there and I had to keep telling her where to go. She looked exited and kept ahead. When we finally got to the deck, she wore me out just telling her to calm down and where to go.
She stood near the railing as I walked infront of everyone.
"Crew, we have arrived at an island to re-stock on supplies as a priority, try too keep a low profile as we don't want any Marines to fight us," I explained, " Shachi, Penguin and the engineer team, go and fix anything that needs repairing and do upgrades, Robert and your team go and stock up on food, Agatone has the list of food's in the kitchen, Mathew and your team, go look for weapons to put in the storage and Gem and Bepo come with me, we will find out information about the island. Your dismissed."
Everyone scrambled around jumping onto the shore or back to the sub.
I waited for Gem and Bepo to come then headed out once everyonelse was gone. I looked ahead and saw a small village. I started looking there, looking for someone to give us information.
"Law." said Gem
I glanced at her too she what she was going to say.
"What are we going to do?" she asked.
"We're going to find out information on the island then look around." I replied.
"Ok." she said, going back to scanning the shops.

Gem's Pov

I looked around at the shops, they mostly consisted of Weapons, guns, knife's, sword, you name it, they had it. I realized that this may mean the people here will most likely know how to fight and might go looking for one. Law seemed to notice it too as he kept glancing around, his stormy gray eyes observing the area under his hat.
Then I came by a shop, It was unlike the other shops we went by. It had a sign, and in Blue letters, said, The wonder of books. I stopped and looked at the glass. In it was displayed a beautiful book. It was brown and thick with thin golden spirals on its spine. The cover had a drawing of a young boy in a dark forest with red eyes staring at him. His expression was not of fright but of evil, like he was in league with whoever was behind him. The title read, " The haunted woods". It looked very interesting and I was intrigued by it's beautiful design and had a sudden urge to read it.
"What are you looking at?" asked Law.
I looked at him from the side, I completely forgot about him and Bepo.
"That book," I said pointing to it," It looks very...interesting."
Law raised a brow like he didn't understand.
"We need to keep on going." he said turning around.
"Wait." I stopped him, " I don't know why but I really like that book."
"But we need to search for information on the island." He argued.
"While I'm buying you can talk to the man," I countered wiggling a finger at the man at the counter.
He sighed and pushed the door open with Bepo following, I grinned and walked in.
The shop smelt dusty and old, the smell of books. I breathed in and exhaled. I love the smell of books. There were shelves and shelves of books covering every inch of the shop. I saw Law and Bepo walk over to the man, then I walked to the window. I saw the book and lifted it up, it was heavy. I ran my hand over the cover, it was leather, I couldn't wait to read it. I picked up the book and walked to the counter where the Captain and the man were chatting. The man saw me and pointed at the book.
"That's a fine choice young girl," he commented, as I set the book down," It is written by one of the best author's in the grand line. It'll be 75 Beli pls."
Law put his hand in his pocket and brought out the money. The man looked at him," Hoho! So you are paying yes? You have a fine daughter here."
Law looked taken back," She's not my daughter," he said risking a glance at me.
I blushed and looked back at the man," Were just...friends."
"Oh ok then," said the man, " Sorry 'bout that. Here's your book," he said handing it too me," now you enjoy reading June's book"
I stopped walking to the door.
"June?" I asked.
"Yes!" exclaimed the man," She's one of the best writers here and possibly the youngest, well the younger generation do have creative minds."
I turned around on my spot to face the man," What's her last name?"
"It should say on the book, it's Soulwater." replied the old man," why, do you know her?"
"No," I said after a while," well thanks for the book anyway."
I opened the door and immediately dug my hand in the bag. I looked for the author's name. It was indeed Soulwater June.
Law's Pov
We continued walking up the street as I looked for surgical instruments.
I was interested in Gem's reaction to the author's name, and how she was quiet as if un deep thought. I couldn't hold in my curiosity any longer.
"Who's Soulwater June?" I asked.
Gem sighed as if she knew I was going to ask.
" She's just...someone I know from before," she said, she looked alittle sensitive on the subject so I focused on looking for the supplies.
A paper fell from the book Gem was holding. She seemed to notice as well and bent to pick it up. It was a blank piece of A4 sized, paper.
"What's this?" she asked, holding the paper up," Maybe it's just some pa-"
She stopped mid sentence and sniffed the paper. I looked at her, why was she smelling the paper?
"What are you doing?" I inquired, frowning.
"I smell lemon juice" she replied. Her eyes widened slightly as if she remembered something.
She turned to face me.
" Do you have anything that can produce heat?" she asked.
I frown deepened at her weird request, was she going to burn the paper?
"Well, I have a lighter, what do you need it for?" I asked.
"I'm not going to burn anything just try something, please." she pleaded.
I blinked then reached in my pocket and pulled out lighter. She grabbed it out of my hand and started the flame, she held it close to the paper but not too close that it will burn. Almost as if by magic, words started to appear on the paper in a brown colour. As soon as the words were dully formed she tossed the lighter back to me and started reading the letter.
I caught the lighter and stuffed it in my pocket, then proceeded to read whatever was on the paper.
Dear, whom it may concern
If you are reading this then I'm presuming your Gem, or somebody who just happened to play with a bit of heat. Whoever it is, you need to know that I am being held in a prison underneath the Green city. There is a person who has captured me and forced me to write all day and night, with only food and water, please help me. If it is Gem, I know you like horror, I knew you'd pick up this book so help me, please.
Soulwater June
I looked at Gem and I saw on her face that this June person and her have a deeper connection than just an acquaintance.
"I need to go." she said.
"But you don't know where the green city is." I argued.
"Well what have you found out from that man earlier?" she asked.
"That this island is a weapon island, but despite that, is also know for being Eco friendly. The log pose sets in 2 days and the name of the island is Wepeonria Island."
"Then this must be the green city." she confirmed," let's go and look underground." she said tugging my sleeve.
I crossed my arm's over my chest," 1st you have to tell me about this June person, and what's your connection to her." I made it clear in my expression that it was either that or look yourself.
She sighed," I'll tell you a piece of information, then you figure it out, and we go. I'm Soulwater Megan. Now let's go!" she took of near a forest in an attempt to find June.
I stared into the forest. So June is her sister? Why didn't she just say? I shook my head and walked after her. Women are complicated.
