Alright, I'm back! Time for a new update. I originally planned to post this yesterday, but when I was half done typing it I accidently hit the back button while not on the word box thing and it deleted everything I had typed T.T I didn't have the heart to rewrite it yesterday, but I'm writing it now! Ugh...responses first!
Ace Portgas D: Thanks! I'm trying to update as fast as possible because of school and everything.
Zany Dragon: Yaay XD I can't believe you actually couldn't see it immediately, I was afraid I was being too obvious. Good to know at least one person was left at a cliffie! I suck at those...
waterwolf: Yes, an update owo Kekeke, and I think I can. I already have the first chapter written in a notebook, so I think I'm gonna try to type it up soon. Maybe today or tomorrow, who knows. She might come off as a...well...weak character at first, but that's because of...reason's you'll have to read yourself when I post it xD And thank you! I try not to make my character's super weak or incredibly strong, but she's gonna be a little different. Just a little though, because if I make her too different I'll feel wrong typing it.
Story time now~!
Angela stared up at the huge serpent-like creature as it loomed over the ship. She could see bright red eyes, along with yellow fangs sticking out of it's mouth, as well as sickly yellow-tinted translucent fins. She almost screamed bloody murder, but she stuck a fist in her own mouth to keep herself from doing that. She slowly backed away, moving towards the spot on the deck she knew her bow was placed. The creatures eyes followed her, and she knew it would no doubt sink the ship if it attempted to.
She quickly grabbed the bow from it's place on the table, but seeing as how the creature didn't know what it was, it only kept staring. She slowly notched an arrow and pointed it at a vital area, letting it fly. It shot forward with deadly accuracy and went straight into the sea creatures right eye. It roared in agony as it dunked it's head into the water, making large waves push their ship through the water. It swam off, which was odd, as usually a Sea King would stay and attack even when half blinded.
As she placed the bow back down, sighing in relief, she heard quick footsteps, and turned just in time to see Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji all run out, Zoro in the lead with one sword already out. They all stopped, however, when all they saw was her. Zoro was obviously still half asleep, as his eyes didn't seem very focused. "What was that?" Luffy asked, looking out at the water around him.
"A Sea King...I think..." She said, frowning. "Where'd it go?" Sanji asked her, also staring suspiciously out at the water. "Um...I...shot it in the eye...and it swam away." She sighed, running a hand through her hair. Zoro, by this time mostly awake, was staring at her. "You what?" he demanded. "I didn't know you had it in you, little girl." He nodded in slight approval, making her blush softly.
"So coooool! I wanna see next time you do that!" Luffy exclaimed, though everyone knew he was much 'cooler' when it came to fights. She nodded. "Okay, Luffy-san." Luffy cocked his head. "Why'd you say my name like that? Just call me Luffy!" He grinned at her. "But Luffy-san...you're the captain." She tried to explain, but he waved it off, yawning. "Still tired. Going back to sleep." He mumbled, slowly marching back to his room, Zoro and Sanji following.
Deciding not to sleep in the crow's nest, she slipped into the girls room, thankful they seemed to be asleep, and went to the empty bed she had used before. She climbed onto the covers before cocooning herself inside them, completely covered from head to toe. She was soon dozing off, thinking, 'Did I really do that?'
Robin sat up, looking over at the small bundle that was Angela on the bed, buried under blankets. She saw Nami do the same from across the room. "Hm...guess she got tired of sleeping in the crow's nest." Nami murmured quietly, a small smile on her face. Robin nodded, also smiling. "Hopefully this means she'll stop avoiding the crew most of the time." She said back, and Nami broke out into a large grin. "Maybe she'll come shopping with us on the next island!" Robin laughed softly at the expression on Nami's face, clearly she was happy about the prospect of a new female to shop with. Robin, however, was curious as to the girl's knowledge.
"Did she really shoot a Sea King in the eye?" Nami asked Robin, who seemed to know all, after hearing the voices through the walls. Robin shrugged. "It's possible, I think she did. If she can aim like you said, then why wouldn't she shoot a Sea King if it was going to sink the ship?" she reasoned, and Nami nodded back at her before looking at Angela again. "Seems like she'll be useful to the crew after all." And with that said, the two girls laid back down in their respective beds and fell asleep, each thinking about the new girl.
Angela woke up late in the morning, a couple hours after everyone else, besides Zoro, had gotten up. She crept out of the room and onto the main deck, seeing everyone still lazing around because it was morning. She giggled softly, seeing Chopper half-asleep on a table. That immediately caught the attention of Sanji, probably because it was a 'feminine noise' as he says, and he whooshed over to her. "Dearest Angela-chan, could I get you anything for breakfast? Coffee? Eggs?" he asked, nearly swooning at her. She frowned. "Can I try some coffee?" She asked, cocking her head at the side. She had never had coffee before, and was curious. Sanji did swoon this time. "Right away, Angela-chan!" He swooshed back into the kitchen.
She walked over to Chopper and gently poked his shoulder, gaining his attention. "Doctor Chopper, can I take off these bandages now?" She said, gesturing to her chest. Chopper thought about it for a moment before nodding, hopping off the table and going into the infirmary, Angela hot on his heels. She sat down at the bed as he pulled up a stool and hopped onto it so he could be at her level. She took off the borrowed shirt she had been using from Nami's closet, surprised the female had anything that covered her stomach at all. Chopper began unwinding the bandages from her chest.
When all of the bandages were off, she looked down at the wounded area, seeing an angry pink line stretching from across the lower part of her chest, below her breasts and above her stomach. She poked it gently, but it didn't feel hurt anymore, so she sighed, shaking her head as she stood up and stretched. Chopper turned to throw the bandages away but she hugged him, grinning happily. "Thank you, Doctor Chopper! You're the best!" She said, releasing him. He began to do a weird wiggly motion, kinda like Sanji in his 'Love-Love Mode'.
"Oh stop it, you bastard! Your compliments don't make me happy at all, asshole!" He said, but he was grinning happily, so she figured he just didn't want to admit he was really pleased. She smiled, patting his head as she exited the room, carrying the shirt in one hand as she made her way onto the main deck again. She paused when she was two steps out before realizing she wasn't wearing the shirt, and only had a bra on, and angrily put it back on, furious at her own forgetfulness. She was pretty sure no one was paying attention to her anyways, Nami was ranting about how they were pushed off-course by the Sea King last night, making them point to a different island. Luffy was happy, seeing that islands needle quivering a little, hoping something exciting was happening.
sanji swiveled over to her, a silver tray with a cup of coffee on it held out to her. She took it, smiling happily, and sniffed it curiously. It smelled strong to her, but she kinda liked the scent. She took a cautious sip, her face breaking out int a grin. She sat the cup on the ground for a moment so she could hug Sanji, who had heart eyes at the hug. "Thanks Sanji-kun! I like it!" She quickly released him and he nearly fainted from a nosebleed, having been held against her chest because of the hug. Not that she would know that, now would she?
She picked up the cup again, taking a bigger drink from it while walking across the deck to go sit beside Robin, who was at one of the tables, predictably, reading a book. She sat down beside her, setting the coffee on the table. "Morning Robin-san." She said, smiling sweetly at the woman. She looked up from the book, smiling back at the giel. "Good morning Angela. I trust you slept well?" She said politely as she studied the girl again now that the bandage was removed. "Yeah...I'm sorry if I woke you and Nami up last night." She apologized, but Robin wave it off. "Don't worry, you didn't." Which was a half truth: The Sea King had woken them, not her. She nodded, taking another sip from the coffee as Robin turned back to the book.
After sitting in a comfortable silence for a little while, she heard Nami announcing they'd be at the island in an hour or so. She grinned, 'Just enough time for a shower.' She got up, leaving the half-full coffee cup there, and went into the girls room, looking at the clothing Nami and Robin had loaned her. She eventually decided on a red half-shirt that would cover her chest and blue shorts, seeing as how it was one of the least-revealing things that were there, and went to the shower room.
[A/U: Pssssh, you thought I'd write the part with the shower? Nope! I could...but...I really don't want to. Plus angela threatened to kill ME, the author! T-T Whatever.]
When she was done with the shower, having taken longer than she intended to because of the soothing heat from the water, she got dressed. She furiously dried her hair. trying to make it completely dry, unfortunately, life doesn't work that way, and it remained damp. She pulled a brush through her hair as she walked out onto the deck again, white eyes studying everyone there. Nami was trying to keep Luffy from jumping onto the island, because they weren't close enough yet, but Luffy looked like he was going to get free. Zoro and Sanji were staring at the island, an unhappy frown on their faces. Franky, Chopper, Usopp and Brook were at the other side of the ship, probably checking out the island. Robin was standing behind Luffy, watching him with a small smile.
She walked over to stand beside Zoro and Sanji, leaning against the edge of the ship in eagerness to explore the island. It looked like a summer island, thank kami, and there was a pillar of smoke coming out from the center. It was a small island, but she hoped it would prove exciting, as she hadn't been on a different island in over ten years. As soon as they were close enough, she jumped out, landing on her feet on the ground and took off to the center of the island, full of curiosity. Luffy was soon following her, screaming about adventure.
Zoro and Sanji sighed in union at the two, jumping off to follow them. Brook followed soon after that, the rest would be left to guard the ship. Robin laughed softly to herself as she saw the figures of Luffy and Angela shrinking, hopefully off to have an adventure of some sort.
And that's this chapter! While I was writing this, on the LAST LINE, I had to erase it to word it better, and I fucked up and it sent me off the page again. I almost had a heart attack. Luckily I got it to come back, otherwise I'd be crying right now and you'd have no chapter to read. I realize this is still short, and I'm sorry T-T I try to make them as long as possible, I swear. Oh well! See you at the next chapter!
