Ugh, I'm supposed to be working on projects and studying for finals..but instead I'm writing this story, yay procrastination!
Does anyone else feel that time skip Nami has become more annoying? Not in the sense that she's mean/bitchy or anything but because she wears less and less clothing which is pretty annoying. Honestly I know that she's confident in her body but pre time skip Nami AT LEAST wore clothes that covered her body. Now she wears a breast band and jeans that practically hang off her ass. :/ Even Robin doesn't dress this way. Pretty soon she's probably gonna be wearing nothing more than a bra and panties and I hope that doesn't happen.
The whole seductive cat thing is getting old and becoming hard to tolerate, which is one of the few things I dislike about One Piece. Can we have more Nami scenes that don't solely focus on her sex appeal..
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece. Cuz if I did.. Ace would have stayed alive...sobs...And Nami would wear clothes. Actual clothes.
Enjoy.
"U-Usopp.." Kaya bit her lower lip in an attempt to keep tears from spilling from her large,dark, eyes. Her long blonde hair was a mess and she had a small cut above her left cheek. She was visibly shaking, her breaths coming at a fast pace, as if she just got the surprise of a lifetime. To say that she looked and felt like a mess was an understatement.
In her lap lay her bloodied and beat up servant, Merry. The man had a large wound on his chest, the blood seeking out of it at a profound pace. His eyes were only half lidded, his hand resting on a soon to be scar on his head, and he looked as if he was barely holding on to life.
"Usopp.." Kaya tried again, staring at the camera with desperate eyes. "Y-You really are a brave man...and I can't believe that I ever doubted you. I can't b-believe that I stopped trusting you.." The blonde haired beauty sniffed and took in a deep, shaky, breath, before exhaling slowly.
"I was so scared Usopp.. I thought you were just lying so that you could kidnap me.. I thought that you would actually betray our friendship by hurting me. When you grabbed my hand and looked me in the eye..I should have known that you weren't lying.."
Kaya couldn't stop the tears from running down her cheeks, nor did she want to. She couldn't keep a bit of snot from dripping out of her nose, even if it was rather unladylike. "But everything that you said was true, Usopp. Everything you said about Kuro was true. You tried to warn me.. you tried to keep me out of harm's reach..you tried to save me...and Merry too.." She ran her fingers through Merry's curly white locks, a sad smile on her tearful face. "And it is only now that I realize...that I'm the one who betrayed the trust of our friendship.."
"M-Miss Kaya.." Merry whispered, taking her small hand in his quivering large one. Kaya gave his hand a light squeeze, before directing her attention towards the den den mushi.
"Usopp...you and your nakama..all of you are trying so desperately to fight for me..and to fight for this village... Usopp..." Kaya squeaked, suddenly feeling as if her heart clenched. It was then that she poured her emotions into her words. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry for ever doubting you...for accusing you...for betraying you..." She sniffed loudly. "And thank you for saving me...thank you to your friends who are probably fighting alongside you...thank you for trying to save Merry...thank you for protecting this village..."
"You say that your father may be watching this...right?" She let go of Merry's hand and wiped her red eyes. She stared into the camcorder with a determined twinkle in her eyes. "Well Usopp's father...you have an amazing and courageous son...you should be proud of him."
"I'm going to make things right, Usopp. I will."
Click.
"Hahaha! Hey Shanks!" Luffy smiled widely. "I dunno how I lost it but i'm glad that I got it back- Nami!" Luffy frowned when the orange haired woman took the den den mushi from him, and pointed it away from Luffy and towards her and Zoro. "No one wants to look at a recording of you with food all over your face."
The three were, once again, sitting in a small booth inside a small cafe like restaurant. Nami and Zoro sported a few new cuts and bruises, but were overall fine. It was obvious to whoever was viewing that the trio must have been through a lot on this day.
"Oi." Zoro placed his elbow onto the table and put his cheek into the palm of his hand. "We've had our meal..and we've done all we need to do..so should we get going?"
"Ne, you're right Zoro!" Luffy stretched before leaning back in his seat.
"Wait." Zoro frowned deeply. "I just need...one more cup of sake...or five.."
"You're gonna die from alcohol poisoning one day." Nami stated, rolling her eyes, but smiling nonetheless. "Stupid."
"Who're you calling stupid?" Zoro glared at her and Nami, in return, stuck out her tongue at him. "The stupidest one at this table of course!"
"That would be this one." Zoro replied, pulling at Luffy's rubber cheeks. "But even I have to admit that he's a genius when it comes to battles."
"Oh, I've finally found you all!" The boys, and Nami with the camcorder turned to see Kaya walk in with a bright smile on her pretty pale face. "Hello, everyone!"
"Ah, Miss Kaya!" Nami smiled at her tall female companion. "What brings you to us?"
"Yeah, aren't you sick or something?" Zoro added, putting his elbow onto his bent knee.
"Oh, don't worry about me!" She waved her hand. "Usopp-San has encouraged me enough. Anyhow, I heard that you guys were looking for a ship."
"Yeah! We need a ship, since we are pirates after all!" Luffy exclaimed.
"He might as well tell the whole world.." Nami muttered, facepalming.
"Well, as thanks for saving the village, I have a ship prepared for all of you. Would you like to set sail on it? Kaya laughed lightly at each of their excited faces. She would take their eager expressions as a yes.
Click.
"Wow! We're gonna have lots of adventures on this ship!"
"A caravel..it's so big!"
"Heh."
Luffy, Zoro, and Nami(the trio) stood before a large ship that was currently docked. Zoro held the camcorder up high, as he was the tallest of the trio, and made sure that the camera saw most of the ship.
"This is a ship I designed all on my own!" Merry stated, a proud smile on his goat like face. He looked to be in a better condition than when he was lying on the floor in a pool of his own blood. "I call this ship the Going Merry!"
"The Going Merry.." Nami laughed to herself. "I love it!"
"YOSH! We can really have this ship, Kaya?!" Luffy smiled at her, trying to contain his excitement especially when the young blonde haired woman nodded in response. "Yes, I insist! You all deserve it!"
"Well we finally have a ship. We'll no longer be traveling on that tiny rowboat." Zoro commented, scratching his head.
"Thank goodness." Nami added. "That was really uncomfortable."
"Now, let me explain how it works." Merry gave the camcorder a warm smile before turning towards Luffy and beginning to explain how to maneuver the large ship. Luffy nodded his head as if he understood what Merry was saying.
"Oi. He doesn't understand anything, so stop trying to explain it to him." Nami deadpanned.
"I have everything you guys might need on board this ship, so don't worry!" Kaya added, giggling slightly.
"WAAAAAAAAH!"
"Hmm..am I the only one who hears that?" Zoro muttered, turning himself and the den den mushi around in the direction in which the noise came from.
"Nope, I hear it too." Nami stated, exhaling loudly.
"S-STOP! SOMEBODY STOP ME PLEASE!" And rolling down the hill at an increasingly face pace was long nosed Usopp himself. On his back was what appeared to be a large packing bag, which seemed to be the reason why he was rolling down the hill.
"U-Usopp-San?" Kaya gasped.
"What is he doing..?" Merry inquired, staring at him strangely.
"That actually looks like fun!" Luffy commented, crossing his arms over his chest and letting out a loud laugh.
"Like hell it does!" Nami snapped, her teeth becoming fanged out. "Go stop him, or else he'll hit the ship...you too, Zoro!"
"Geez, you're a too damn bossy." Zoro complained as he handed her the den den mushi and stood beside Luffy. "You should really work on that."
"Says the alcoholic."
The two men waited as Usopp approached and once the long nosed male was in front of them they both simply placed their left feet onto his face, ultimately stopping him from going any further.
"Thanks." Usopp rasped.
"No problem!" The two replied in unison.
Click.
"So you're really heading out to sea, Usopp-San?" Kaya asked.
"Yeah, of course! I'm gonna become a brave warrior of the sea, Kaya! It's my dream!" Usopp replied, leaning against his large bag. "And when I come back I can tell you all about all the adventures I have been on and all the challenges that I've faced!"
The blonde haired beauty laughed behind her hand. "Okay, Usopp-San.."
"Anyway." Usopp smiled at the den den mushi. "This is goodbye to that camcorder and to you guys! Thanks again for helping me save my village, Luffy. Maybe one day we'll meet on the dangerous seas!"
"The hell are you going on about?" Zoro asked, crossing his arms. "Hurry up and get on board!"
"Yeah come on, Usopp!" Nami leaned against the railing beside Luffy. "We don't have all day!"
"You're our nakama now, right?" Luffy more so stated then asked. "And come on, the den den mushi is about to shut off."
Usopp stared up at the trio. Nami was giving him a closed eyed smile, and Zoro was standing there with his arms crossed over his chest and with a hint of a smirk on his face. And finally there was Luffy, who was giving him the biggest and most idiotic grin he had ever seen. These were the people who had helped him save his village. They were the people who stepped in and fought to the best of their ability in order to protect what he cherished the most. They were the people who were offering to help him fulfill his dream of becoming a brave warrior of the sea. They were his new nakama. The long nosed male laughed a little, before he jumped onto the ship with a grin of his own.
"Does this mean I get to be captain?!"
"NO WAY!" Luffy frowned childishly. "I'm the captain!"
"But I'm brave Captain Usopp!"
"Nope! I'm the King of the Pirates, Monkey D Luffy!"
Click.
"To our new ship!" Nami shouted, raising her drink up.
"To my new friends!" Usopp yelled, holding up his own drink.
"To sake! Delicious sake! Nature's freshest water!" Zoro called out, holding his drink to his lips.
"And to the many adventures ahead of us! Shishishi!" Luffy concluded, smiling that idiotic smile.
"YEAH!"
Click.
"Bellemere-San!" Nami smiled widely at the camcorder. "This is my temporary room. It's so much fun being on this ship, even if all of them are pretty idiotic." The woman sat on her small bed, pushing strands of her tangerines colored hair behind her ear.
"I've nearly reached my goal! And one day peace will be restored to our village! I just know it!"
"I've got my lucky skirt." She zoomed in on her orange skirt. "My trusty boots!" She zoomed in on her reddish brown boots. "And my amazing staff!" She finished, zooming in on her long brown staff. "Plus my bags of treasure!"
The woman sighed, scratching her neck lightly. "It's silly for me to talk into this camcorder and think that you will see it one day but Luffy and the others don't seem to care so I guess I don't care either!"
"Ne, Bellemere-San...aren't all pirates supposed to be vicious and merciless? Luffy and the others are nothing like him."
Nami shrugged then, closing her large brown eyes. "I just hope that in the end everything turns out to be okay. I'm about 7 million beli away from my goal. Just 7 more Bellemere-San...Nojiko..."

Kay there. This chapter is complete. As you can most likely tell...this story will not have an ending so long as One Piece continues...so yeah. I'm putting in at least six slides for every chapter to kinda even them out. I apologize for any spelling errors.
Sorry for the delay in an update. School + Finals + Babysitting + Stress = Not so quick update!
QuirkyKit: I know right? I've always envisioned something like this happening in canon One Piece.
Lightningblade49: Omg XD That would be hilarious. Especially if someone like Akainu saw it.
Son of Whitebeard: You mean Luffy's grin? Yeah I know right?
girlofsomanyhandshakes: I can't promise quick updates but I'll try. Yes there will be fight scenes that will be taped but only the fight scenes that I think are very crucial. So that's why this chapter focused a little more on emotional conflicts then lots of action and the like.
Wow I'm tired. This was pretty long chapter for me to type XD. Please review and leave constructive criticism for me cuz I need it.
