Part 1
*Disclaimer! I don't own anything One Piece related that belongs to Oda*
Words started to appear on the screen when the lights dimmed.
"Alright, you guys will be watching another viewing similar to the one where Luffy and Arlong were fighting. Only this time, this one will be a lot longer. So, sit back and enjoy."
Law was interested in what that meant. He hopes this doesn't mean that it will be boring, he thought as the words disappeared from the screen.
Usopp is shown at the rudder of The Going Merry, humming before it breaks.
"Well, that isn't good." Marco-ya deadpanned before squinting, "Hey, isn't that guy on Luffy's crew."
"Yeah," Shanks-ya answered, "I think he is the son of one of my crewmates."
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah."
Suddenly a map is slammed on a table as Nami says,
"Look at this."
Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro sit at a table on The Merry and look over in confusion.
"I've heard the rumors, but it's written here on the map, too. If they're true, then the entrance to The Grand Line is a mountain." Nami says as she points to the map.
"Ah, so they're trying to enter The Grand Line." Roger-ya grinned, "I'm interested to see how this goes." His couch mates nodded in agreement.
"Really? This is boring; at least show some action." Kid-ya grunted in annoyance.
Law had to agree this does seem underwhelming, but he wasn't going to voice that out loud. And by the grumbling from the right side of the room, they agreed with Eustass-ya's statement.
"A mountain?" Luffy questions with a cup in his mouth, while Usopp struggles with the rudder in the back.
"You mean we have to crash through the mountain?" Zoro asks skeptically.
"The hell." Sanji chimes in.
"Are you telling me they don't know how to enter The Grand Line?!" Marco-ya exclaimed with wide eyes.
Rayleigh-ya sighed, "Apparently not."
Law stopped himself from facepalming at how unprepared the Straw Hats are for The Grand Line. At least the navigator was actually trying to be helpful.
"I thought it was crazy too, but… there are canals drawn along the mountainside. That might mean we have to climb it." Nami deduces.
Luffy makes a sound of excitement, "Sounds like fun!"
"What are you talking about? Even if there was a canal… it's impossible for a ship to climb a mountain." Zoro says factually, as Usopp continues to struggle with the rudder.
"It seems that long nosed brat is having trouble." voiced Whitebeard.
"And none of his friends seem bothered by this." Rayleigh-ya deadpanned.
"But that's what the map says." Nami counters.
"There's no way Nami-swan could be mistaken!" Shouts and angry Sanji.
"You stole that map from Buggy, right?" Zoro says, "You really want to trust it?"
"Buggy?!" Three different voices exclaimed. Everyone turned their heads towards the trio.
"They stole a map from Buggy?" Roger-ya said with a bewildered face. His couch mates had the same expressions on their faces. Shanks-ya looked deep in thought before he nodded to himself,
"Ah right, I remember." The Red Hair man closed his eyes, thinking, "Buggy was in the East Blue, so he probably encountered Luffy and his crew."
"Buggy really let some kids steal his treasure?" Roger-ya had a skeptical look in his eyes before laughing out loud,
"Gwahahaha! I'm glad he is still around!" Rayleigh-ya had a soft smile on his face as he nodded at his captain's words.
Suddenly Usopp yells, "Zorooo! Help me with this damn helm!"
"Sanji, go help Usopp, will you?" Nami orders more than asks, "I can't think straight with all that noise."
"Yes, Nami-swan!" Sanji says with hearts in his eyes,
"Wow that guy is…" Marco-ya trailed off. The Roger trio nodded in agreement.
"Here we go- what?" Sanji tried to push the rudder but it wouldn't budge.
"T-The current's flowing too fast!" Usopp declares as he sweats from trying to push the rudder.
Nami looks like a lightbulb went off and asks, "Usopp, say that again?"
Did the navigator finally figure out how it works, Law thought.
"I said the current's flowing too fast!"
"The current…" Nami says, "I got it!"
Luffy and Zoro looks over in confusion and Luffy asks,
"Got what?"
"We really do have to climb the mountain." Nami concludes.
"You're still talking about that?" Zoro asks.
"Look here." Nami points at the map, "Listen. There's no doubt the "guiding light" was pointing here. Here on the Red Line, Reverse Mountain." Nami, Zoro, Luffy, and Sanji all look down at the map.
"Oi! What am I supposed to do here!?" Usopp shouts as he is left to hold the rudder.
"And they just left him to struggle." Marco-ya sighed.
The others ignore him and Nami continues,
"See the canal here?" Nami points at Reverse Mountain on the map, "If a strong current from each of the four oceans flows toward this mountain… The four currents would climb the mountain, meet at the top… and flow straight down into the Grand Line. Since Reverse Mountain is a "Winter Island"... the currents that collide with the Red Line travel toward the oceans floor. If we can't make it into the canal… The Going Merry will slam straight into the Red Line… and the ship will be destroyed. Nothing left but ocean debris. Understand?"
"What an intelligent young lady." Rayleigh commented with a smirk. The other past pirates and Red Hair nodded in agreement with impressed looks.
Law could now see who is the brains on the Straw Hat crew. If he had any chance to have a normal conversation about an alliance he would have to talk to her. It seems that she is the only rational and intelligent person on that ship.
"I see!" Luffy exclaims, "So it's a "Mystery Mountain", right?" Luffy laughs at his statement.
Yep Nami was his only hope of communication.
"Gwahahaha! I like this kid!" Roger-ya laughed tilting his head back.
Nami sighs, "I don't think you understand at all."
Nami looks up, "In any case, this ship's already riding on one of those currents. So if we don't mess up our steering, we should make it up Reverse Mountain in one piece."
"Nami-swan, you're so awesome!" Sanji shouts with hearts in his eyes.
Zoro has a skeptical look on his face,
"I ain't ever heard of that. Ships climbing mountains"
"I've heard something." Sanji says.
"About the Mystery Mountain?" Luffy chimes in.
"Nope." Sanji deadpans,
There were some chuckles at the dryness of Sanji's voice.
"Just that about half of the wannabes die trying to enter the Grand Line."
The Merry is shown sailing while dark clouds appear.
"So I know it ain't easy to get in" Sanji continues.
The scene changes and shows Luffy hoisting the sails while it is raining. He looks up in confusion and notices a red wall.
"Oi! I can see the Mystery Mountain!" Luffy shouts and his crew comes running out to see.
"What?" Usopp asks in disbelief, "Man it's huge!"
"The entrance to the Grand Line," Nami says with awe in her voice.
Luffy laughs, "So that's the Red Line, eh?"
We see the Merry next to the Red Line and Usopp exclaims,
"Y-You c-can't even see the peak past the clouds!"
"If they think this is crazy they have a rude awakening." Doflamingo laughed.
Law's fingers twitched at the voice.
Shanks-ya looked over at the Warlord and shrugged,
"Well, they made it this far."
Doflamingo hummed with a small smirk and looked away as did the Emperor.
The Merry shakes and the Straw Hats struggle to stay on their feet. Luffy falls from the sails but hangs on and bounces up and down as he screams,
"We're getting sucked in! Grab the helm!"
"We've got it!"
"Leave it to me!" Sanji and Usopp shout together.
"N-Nami! Where's the entrance!?" Luffy exclaims, "If we head straight, we'll run into the cliff!"
Nami looks at the Red Line, "That crack in the cliff…" Nami thinks.
"Nami, what should we do?!" Usopp asks while he and Sanji hold the rudder.
"Hold our path steady!" Nami orders.
"You sure?!" Usopp asks skeptically.
"Just do it!"
Luffy stretches toward Nami, lands next to her, and asks,
"Nami, is that the canal's entrance?"
"Perhaps, eh?" Nami says with a mischievous tone. Luffy smiles in excitement.
"Seems the girl has an adventurous side too." Rayleigh-ya commented and his couch mates nodded in agreement.
Zoro is seen looking through binoculars,
"Unreal…!" The entrance to the Grand Line is shown, "The water really is climbing up the mountain."
"Make sure we go straight between those water gates, okay?" Nami states, "If we don't, the ship will be smashed to pieces."
"We're drifting!" Luffy shouts, "More to the right! Right! Right!"
"Right?" Usopp exclaims, "Okay, hard to starboard!"
"He's really that captain?" Eustass-ya rolled his eyes, "He doesn't even know how to use starboard or portside."
"Yeah," agreed Marco-ya, "I would not want him as my captain."
Sanji and Usopp push the rudder in the right direction. The rudder is creaking from the force and snaps in half, and Sanji and Usopp go flying into a table.
There was silence.
Luffy, Zoro, and Nami have shocked faces and they all shout,
"THE HELM!"
"They're really a bunch of idiots." Eustass-ya deadpanned.
"You're not wrong." Law quietly agreed.
Luffy takes quick action,
"Gomu Gomu no… Balloon!"
Luffy inflates himself and positions himself between the gate and the ship, so they won't crash. Luffy has a distressed look on his face as Merry uses Luffy as a cushion and turns him sideways. Finally, Merry bounces off Luffy and goes up Reverse Mountain.
"He looks stupid, but it's effective." Marco-ya said with an impressed face.
"LUFFY!" Zoro screams as he holds out a hand, "Grab hold!"
Luffy deflates and stretches his hand out to Zoro. Zoro pulls him in and Luffy crashes face first into the deck.
The Red Hair Pirate facepalmed at the destruction of the ship.
Sanji and Usopp celebrate in the back while Nami lets out a relieved sigh. Sanji, Usopp, and Luffy shout,
"WE MADE IT!"
The Merry is shown climbing Reverse Mountain.
"And now, we'll just head straight to the peak!" Nami smiles as she takes her raincoat off.
Luffy is struggling with his head still stuck in the deck. Finally he manages to get himself free,
"Sweet! Hey, I wanna see it too!"
A shadowed figure is shown hiding on The Merry.
"Looks like they have a stowaway." Whitebeard pointed out.
"And they don't even notice." Marco-ya sighed. It seems that everyone has been doing that a lot Law noticed.
Luffy runs to the front of the ship next to Zoro and exclaims,
"A-Awesome!"
Each Straw Hat is shown smiling. Suddenly a man is shown standing on the railing of The Merry,
"You bastards!"
The Straw Hats are tense and Nami says,
"Uh-oh."
"The Okama Fruit guy…" Luffy states.
"Bastard, you're still alive?" Zoro angrily asks.
"You don't give up…" Luffy chimes in.
"I'm guessing they encountered this man before." Shanks-ya deduced.
"By the way they're talking," Roger-ya said, "They probably fought him."
"Shut up!" The man shouts, "You have crossed me for the last time… Thanks to you, my dream of obtaining Dragonite is gone! But I won't let it end like that!"
"Dragonite?" questioned Marco-ya.
"Bones from a dragon that grants immortality." Law supplies, "So the rumors say."
Marco-ya blinked, "Oh"
The man points at Luffy and declares,
"I will at least have the pleasure of taking that 30 million beri bounty on your head! Surrender now!"
"What should we do?" Sanji asked in desperation, "If he uses that sycal thing here… there's no telling what he'll cut!" Usopp has a scared look on his face.
"We don't have any room to move…" Zoro points out.
Law was interested to see what the Straw Hats were going to do. They couldn't make sudden moves or the man could use his devil fruit and possibly destroy the ship and they could all drown. They would have to be faster in order to take him down.
"It seems this man has a devil fruit that can slash things." Shanks-ya commented.
"Yeah." Roger-ya nodded before smiling, "I am curious to see how they will defeat this man."
"Gurararara!" Whitebeard laughed, "Me as well, it seems that the brats are in a tight spot."
The man laughs, "Well, well. Not one of you can lay a finger on me!"
Nami looks down as she notices something. She points at the deck and exclaims,
"AH! Dragonite!"
The man looks down and Nami steps toward him and kicks his leg. The man loses his balance and falls into the water. The others have shocked expressions on their faces. Zoro and Luffy sweat drop as the man skids across the water before completely submerging.
"Heh," Marco-ya deadpanned, "I wasn't expecting that."
Law felt stupid for thinking that the man was even a real threat.
"Pfftt."
Law looked over at the noise and saw Eustass-ya covering his mouth with his hand while his body was shaking from silent laughter. Law raised an eyebrow at the man when they made eye contact and the redhead glared at him before looking back at the screen.
Nami smiles and waves,
"Bye-bye!"
"That woman is scary." Roger-ya shivered. Shanks-ya nodded with a wary look.
The boys put a fist in their palm and simultaneously say,
"Oh! Shoulda thought of that!"
There were some laughs at the display.
"Since he's a hammer, he won't be bothering us anymore~!" Nami says with a happy tone.
"Even if he could swim, this current's just too choppy!" Usopp exclaims while Sanji next to him has hearts in his eyes.
"That's my Nami-swan!"
They all laugh as The Merry continues to sail up Reverse Mountain.
"We made it to the clouds!" Luffy shouts.
Luffy is shown sitting on the figure head as he makes a noise of excitement.
"AWESOME!" Luffy exclaims as they reach the top of the mountain, "We got above the clouds!"
"Look! The mountain peak!" Nami says with a smile, "It's the peak!"
The Merry reaches the top and the ship is launched into the air.
"YAHOO!" Luffy laughs.
The Merry suddenly descends and the Straw Hats stay in the air for a second before they soon start to fall.
"Uh…"
"Just keep watching Roger."
"...Ok."
The Merry lands on the canal that enters The Grand Line.
"Mihawk is here…" Zoro thinks with a determined face.
"Mihawk?" a surprised Shanks-ya questioned.
The past pirates looked over in confusion. Shanks-ya closed his eyes in thought before a lightbulb seem to go off above his head,
"Ah yes now I remember," The Emperor smiled, "Mihawk did tell me about a certain swordsman that he thought had potential. I guess that was Luffy's crewmate."
"Is this Mihawk strong?" questioned The Pirate King.
Shanks-ya nodded, "Yeah, he's the strongest swordsman in the world."
Roger-ya had a thoughtful expression on his face as he scratched his chin.
"Getting closer to All Blue.." Sanji thinks with a smirk.
"A complete map." Nami thinks with a smile.
"To prove I'm the bravest pirate!" Usopp thinks as he scratches his nose.
"They all have admirable dreams." Whitebeard smiled softly.
The Beast Pirate scoffed at his words.
Luffy sits on the figure head as an awe look and says,
"I can see it!" Luffy puts a hand on his hat so it doesn't fly off, "The greatest ocean in the world… Grand Line!"
Luffy stretches his mouth into a big grin, "And somewhere ahead… One Piece is waiting!"
"That brat really thinks he can find the One Piece and become The Pirate King?!" Big Mom sneered, "Don't make me laugh!"
"That rookie doesn't stand a chance in the New World." Kaido-ya said offhandedly.
Doflamingo laughed in agreement. The past pirates and Shanks-ya glared at the other side of the room.
"Luffy will become The Pirate King." Shanks-ya declared.
Kaido-ya and Big Mom glared at the Red Haired man. The room started to shake at the intensity. Law was feeling a little claustrophobic sitting in between the aura of three Emperors.
CRUNCH!
The aura immediately vanished, and everyone looked over at the noise.
"Will you- CRUNCH- guys stop arguing- CRUNCH- so we can leave faster- CRUNCH." Garp-ya commented while eating his crackers.
Everyone deadpanned at the man and looked back at the screen, the conversion from earlier completely forgotten.
"LET'S GO!" Luffy shouts as The Merry descends the mountain.
The scene changes to night time and shows Luffy and Zoro glaring at each other. They look beaten up and look ready to charge one another.
"Uh, did we miss something?" asked a very confused Phoenix.
Law was just as confused as he was because he was pretty sure that Zoro-ya is on Luffy-ya's crew, not an enemy. Law looked around the room and saw that almost everyone had a puzzled look on their face.
A girl with blue hair is shown watching them looking scared. Suddenly Luffy charges,
"WAAAAA!"
Then Zoro,
"AAAHHH!"
"They look very serious about this." commented Roger-ya, "Which is weird because aren't they on the same crew?"
"Yeah. Maybe they are being controlled." suggested Shanks-ya with a shrug.
They're about to collide when a dark figure shows up behind them,
"STOP IT!"
And punches both of them in the face.
"What the-"
Zoro and Luffy both fall to the ground. We see the person who punched them, Nami.
"It was the navigator girl?!" Eustass-ya incredulously shouted.
Law was also having a hard time believing that the girl he watched crying an hour ago, just punched her captain and first mate to the ground, and stopped them from fighting.
"Gurararara!" laughed Whitebeard, "Don't get on her bad side!"
"Yeah, no shit." Marco-ya deadpanned. Law could see sweat start to form on his brow.
"I like this girl." Rayleigh-ya said with a small grin.
Roger-ya look over at him,
"Really? She's scary."
Rayleigh looked over at him with a blank look and said,
"It's because I can relate to her."
"What do you mean you can relate to her?" asked a confused Pirate King.
"It's because I have to deal with your shenanigans." Rayleigh-ya deadpanned.
Roger-ya blinked a couple times before he said a simple,
"Oh."
Rayleigh-ya huffed at his captain and turned back to the screen.
Nami shouts,
"I can't believe you two! What the hell do you think you're doing!? You're just lucky you managed to keep the girl intact!" Nami walks closer to the two with her hands on her hips, "You almost cost me 1 billion berries, y'know!?"
"I have no idea what is going on." Marco-ya
"Same."
Nami picks up both of them by the back of their shirts,
"Got it?"
We see the blue haired girl sitting on a duck and have scared looks on their faces while the girl says,
"You people… What are you talking about?"
"And who is that girl now?" asked a frustrated Marco-ya before he squinted at the screen, "Is she sitting on a large duck?!"
Whitebeard gently put a hand on his shoulder and said,
"Calm down son, I am sure that we will understand what is happening soon, just have some patience."
Marco-ya grumbled as he looked up at him,
"Ok Pops."
Zoro and Luffy are glaring at each other while Nami still holds them.
"Why did you save me?"
Zoro punches Luffy in the face, Luffy kicks Zoro in the face. Nami answers the other girl,
"Oh that's right. We need to talk about that."
Zoro stretched out Luffy's mouth, and Luffy put his hand in Zoro's face.
"I wonder why they started fighting in the first place?" Shanks-ya asked, referring to Luffy-ya and Zoro-ya.
"Who knows," Law voiced, "Probably something inconsequential knowing Straw Hat-ya."
Red hair looked over at him before laughing,
"You're probably right! Anchor would always get mad at the littlest of things!"
The man grinded at the thought before he turned back to the screen.
Nami continues,
"Would you mind negotiating a contract with me?"
The blue haired girl has a confused look on her face,
"Contract?"
Suddenly Nami slams both of her first on the two boys and yells,
"QUIT STRUGGLING!"
The boys crash to the ground and the duck makes frightened noises.
"I can't believe Straw Hat is letting her do that," Eustass-ya grunted.
Law looked over at him curiously and said,
"I guess Luffy-ya is a different kind of captain."
Eustass-ya looked over at him with furrowed eyebrows,
"A captain that lets his crewmates walk all over him? Yeah, that doesn't sound very captain-like."
Law hummed at his words. Law could definitely see Eustass-ya's point of view. Law has certainly never seen a crew like the Straw Hats- and is not sure if there is another crew like them. He has only had an encounter with them briefly, and he has to say that it is a change of pace from his crew, but Law can tell that Luffy-ya's crewmates do respect him. He can also see how other people can see it like Eustass-ya does. Straw Hat-ya, not being a serious captain, and his crewmates doing whatever they want. Law reckons that's just how they operate, and he won't judge them if that is what makes them stronger.
"A man, definitely not fit for the title of King." Doflamingo smirked.
"Shut up brat," grunted Garp-ya, "I don't want to hear an argument right now, especially if it's about my grandson."
Doflamingo frowned at the man but didn't reply to the statement.
The scene changes and Luffy is laughing,
"Man, Zoro! Why didn't you just say so?" The blue haired girl is seen talking to Nami, "I thought you got mad and killed 'em all just 'cause they didn't have your favorite food!"
Zoro has a tick mark and shouts,
"YOU JERK, THAT'S WHAT YOU WOULD DO!"
"Well, it looks like they made up." Marco-ya sweat dropped at the two boys on the screen.
Luffy laughs,
"Well, don't worry about it!"
Nami points at the two and exclaims,
"You two, SHUT UP!"
Luffy and Zoro immediately do so and sweat a little.
"See Rayleigh!" Roger-ya exclaimed as he pointed at the screen, "She's scary."
Rayleigh-ya sighed before nodding in agreement at his captain's words, deciding better that agreeing with him would be better than arguing.
Nami looks over at the blue-haired girl,
"So, that's our offer. We want 1 billion berries to escort you there safely. You saw how strong these guys are, right? Quite a bargain, don't you think?"
"Impossible." The blue haired girl interrupted, "You have my gratitude for saving my life. Thank you."
Nami is confused and asks,
"Why not? You're a princess, aren't you? It's just a measly billion…"
"A princess?" Shanks-ya questioned.
"It sounds like Nami wants to be rewarded berries for escorting the princess," deduced Whitebeard.
"Seems about right," agreed Rayleigh-ya, "I wonder how they meet a princess though."
"Do you know of a country named Alabasta?" The bluenette asks.
"No…" Nami answers.
"It was a great pillar of civilization. A land of peace. Long ago, that is."
"Ah, so she's the princess of Alabasta." Rayleigh-ya said as he scratched his beard.
"Alabasta?" Shanks-ya said with a tilt of his head. The past pirates looked over at the red head in confusion.
"You've been there Shanks?" asked his captain.
Shanks-ya shook his head,
"No, but it sounds familiar hmm… it's probably nothing."
The past pirates looked at him for a little longer before they turned their eyes back to the screen.
"Long ago?" Nami questions, "And now?"
"It's on the verge of a civil war." the princess says while the three pirates listen, "In recent years, a call for revolution has emerged. The citizens began committing acts of insurrection causing the land to fall into chaos. But one day, I heard the name of a secret organization: Baroque Works!"
The symbol of Baroque Works is shown and the bluenette continues,
"I discovered that they were responsible for inciting the rebellion. Aside from this, however, I was unable to procure any further information. So I went to Igaram, who had looked after me since I was a little girl."
"The tube haired guy?" Luffy asked.
"'Tube haired guy'?" Roger-ya, Shanks-ya, and Marco-ya questioned simultaneously.
There was a moment of silence as the three men stared at each other, before they slowly turned their heads back towards the screen.
"Tube- Yes, that's him." The princess answered while Igaram is shown with some dummies, "I decided to infiltrate Baroque Works. I thought that if I did, I could find out who was pulling the strings, and what his plans were."
"Pretty gutsy for a princess." Zoro smirked
Law agreed with his statement, it's not everyday you see a princess get her hands dirty.
"So? Did you find out his intentions?" Zoro asked.
The girl nodded.
"The establishment of an Ideal Nation." Nami said and the princess looked up in surprise, "Igaram told me earlier. Could it be that…"
"Yes." the bluenette nodded, "He claims that establishing this "Ideal Nation" is their purpose. But that is a complete lie. His true intention is to seize the throne of Alabasta! I must return to my country to tell the people the truth! And prevent them from joining the insurrection!"
"How boring." grunted Eustass-ya.
The pirates listen on as she continues, "If this continues… If this continues…!"
"I see." Nami frowns, "So that's what's going on. It finally makes sense now. If you're on the verge of civil war… money must be scarce."
"Oi." Luffy smirks, "So who's the mastermind?"
"The B-Boss' true identity!?" The bluenette exclaims, "You can't ask me that!"
"Why is she freaking out so much?" asked Marco-ya with a raised eyebrow.
"The guy is trying to take over her country." Eustass-ya deadpanned, "And she had to infiltrate his organization just to find out his identity. That is not what a princess usually does, it was probably very stressful on her, as her whole country is relying on her."
There was a beat of silence as almost everyone stared at him before,
"Quit your staring! I was just pointing out the obvious!"
Everyone slowly looked away from the red head.
"I didn't know you could be so insightful, Eustass-ya." Law smirked at the man.
Eustass-ya glared at him,
"Shut up Trafalgar."
"But you know, don't you?" Luffy counters.
The girl puts her hands up and shakes them and frantically says,
"Don't ask that! I can't tell you! If I told you, they would hunt you down too!
"Well we don't want that." Nami laughs, "And of course, trying to take over a whole nation… He must be an incredibly strong guy, right?"
"Yes, He is." The princess confirms, "No matter how strong you may be, there's no way you could even hope to touch him."
Luffy frowns at her words as does Zoro.
"One of the Warlords. CROCODILE!"
"Uh did she just…"
"...Yes, yes she just did."
There is silence before Luffy asks,
"Who is that?"
The Princess covers her mouth with a horrified look as Nami stares at her in disbelief.
"You just said it?" Zoro sweat dropped.
Suddenly a vulture and an otter show up and they stare at them in silence before they immediately take off and fly away.
"What the- why are there animals here all of a sudden?!" Marco-ya exclaimed. Law could understand how the phoenix was feeling.
"HEY!" Nami screams as she shakes the bluenette, "WHAT'S WITH THE OTTER AND VULTURE!?"
"Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! I'm so sorry!" The other girl says as Nami shakes her.
"Nami is really aggressive." Shanks-ya said warily.
"Well she did just find out that a warlord is potentially after her." Rayleigh-ya shrugged.
"True."
"One of the Warlords is gonna be after us now!" Nami continues to yell.
"She said ''Warlord"?" Luffy said with an excited smile.
"Not bad!" Zoro smirked back.
"It seems the boys are feeling the opposite of the navigator." Whitebeard said with a laugh.
"I would think they would at least feel a little worried about a Warlord being on their hit list." Marco-ya commented.
"Not Anchor!" grinned Shanks-ya, "He loves a challenge!"
Eustass-ya grunted at the words, but Law could tell that he feels the same way as Luffy-ya.
"WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO US!?" Nami shouts.
"I'm so, so sorry! It just slipped out!" The bluenette cries as Nami continues to shake her.
"'SORRY' WON'T DO US ANY GOOD NOW!' Nami yells back.
Luffy starts laughing.
"NOW YOU GOTTEN US MIXED UP IN ALL THIS!"
Nami lets go of the other girl and has tears in her eyes and says,
"We just made it to The Grand Line and now I'm marked for death by one of the Warlords…" Nami has her face in her hands and cries, "Why me…"
"Gurararara! This girl is amusing." Whitebeard laughed.
The past pirates plus Shanks-ya nodded in agreement with small laughs. Law had to say that it was humorous watching the navigator lose her emotions. At least it was better than her crying and stabbing herself, Law thought dryly.
"We're pretty lucky we get to fight one so soon." Zoro commented.
"Wonder what he's like?" Luffys says with a grin.
"SHUT UP YOU TWO!" Nami points at them with a scream.
"Though it wasn't for long, it's been nice knowing you all," Nami says as she walks away from the others.
"Is she actually going to leave the crew?" Marco-ya asked skeptically.
"Where are you going?" Luffy asks.
"They don't know my face yet, so I'm outta here!" Nami explains as she walks.
Suddenly a very good portrait of Nami is shown. The otter is in front of Nami and shows portraits of Nami, Luffy, and Zoro.
"Haha! You're good!" Nami forces out and claps at the drawing.
There were some laughs at the display.
The animals fly away as Nami screams,
"NO! NOW I CAN'T EVEN RUN AWAY!?"
"I'm so sorry…!" The princess says sorrowfully as the others watch the two animals fly away.
"That guy's pretty cool." Luffy compliments the animals.
"Where were you going to run to, anyway?" Zoro asks Nami before he grins, "In any case, the three of us have been added to the Baroque Works Death List!"
Luffy laughs in delight,
"This is so exciting!"
Law was concerned for his future.
Nami is in the fetal position as the bluenette comforts her,
"I have savings… about 500,000 berries…"
"DO NOT WORRY!" Igaram declares.
Luffy and Zoro look over and see Igaram dressed up as the princess, holding three dummies.
"Uhh…"
"Fear-" Igaram clears his throat, "Mah~ Mah~ Maaah~! Fear not, for I have a plan!"
"Igaram!" The princess exclaims, "What are those clothes for?"
The girl and Luffy walk closer to the taller man and Luffy laughs as he inspects him,
"Old man! You'll fool anyone wearing that!"
"Really?" Eustass-ya deadpanned.
"My god." Nami says despairingly as she still sits in the fetal position, "I'm surrounded by idiots."
At least she is aware of that, Law thought.
"Princess Vivi, please listen carefully." Igaram says as Luffy continues to inspect the man and his dummies, "Baroque Works' information network will soon receive that report. Once they learn we are the ones that know the Boss' true identity, you understand what will happen, don't you?"
"As many as a thousand hunters could be coming after us." Vivi answers.
Nami looks over in shock.
"That is a lot of subordinates." Shanks-ya commented.
"That is why I have dressed in the manner of the princess." Igaram informs as Luffy pokes one of the dummies, "I will depart with these three dummies… and travel on a straight course for Alabasta."
"These are us?" Luffy looks up in confusion.
"Decoys." Zoro supplies.
"Once they have begun pursuing me…" Igaram continues, "Princess Vivi and yourselves can depart safely for Alabasta."
"NOW WAIT JUST A MINUTE!" Nami shouts as she gets up from her position, "Who said we would take the princess anywhere!?"
The others look over as she continues,
"We still don't have a contract."
"Take the princess?" Luffy asks, "What's that about?"
There were several facepalms at Straw Hat-ya's stupidity.
"Weren't you listening to them?" Zoro asks in exasperation before he stands up, "The old man here wants us to take her home."
"Oh, is that what they're on about? Okay." Luffy states.
Vivi makes a noise of confusion as Nami yells,
"CROCODILE'S GOING TO TRY TO KILL US!"
"This Crocodile, is he really that strong?" Luffy asks Igaram, ignoring Nami.
"He is currently one of the Seven Warlords." Igaram answers, "Though, as a government- sanctioned pirate, he is no longer on their wanted list. But before his sanction, his bounty was 80,000,000 berries."
Crocodiles' silhouette is shown as the Baroque Works flag is behind him. Zoro makes a noise of interest as Nami screams,
"80 million!? That's FOUR times Arlong's! TURN HIM DOWN!"
Law could see Nami's point of view and he felt for the girl. He personally would turn it down
because it would draw too much attention, but he assumes that Luffy-ya will escort the princess. Law guesses that is just another difference from the Straw Hats and every other pirate crew.
"Will you accept?" Igaram asks Luffy.
"Sure." Luffy immediately replies with a smile, "Sounds like fun."
"Well, he accepted that easily." Marco-ya deadpanned.
Nami facepalms as Igaram says,
"You have my utmost gratitude."
The scene changes to show a boat and the group stand on the shore as Igaram clears his throat to change the pitch to make it sound like Vivi's,
"Well then, I, Vivi, shall be leaving now…"
Luffy laughs,
"Old man! You're just like her!"
"This boy is dense." Kaido-ya stated.
No one disagreed knowing that The Beast Pirate statement was true. It didn't mean that some people didn't like his comment.
"Like WHO?" Zoro asks.
"Now then princess, please hand me the Eternal Pose." Igaram says as he holds out a hand. Vivi pulls out the Eternal Pose and hands it to Igaram a bit reluctantly.
Nami looks up in confusion,
"Eternal Pose?"
"They don't know about Eternal Poses either?" Marco-ya pinched the bridge of his nose, "They are so unprepared that it's giving me anxiety just thinking about it."
"Gurararara!" Whitebeard laughed as he gently patted his son's head.
"You haven't heard of it?" Igaram asks in surprise, "I'll try to explain. It is an eternally preserved version of a Log Pose. A Log Pose guides you from one island to the next, but an Eternal Pose never forgets the magnetic location of the one island it is set to. It shall "eternally" point towards that island. And this one points the way to Alabasta."
Vivi looks up at Igaram,
"With this, you can get to Alabasta."
"Princess Vivi, after making a few stops…" Igaram says, "Please hurry to Alabasta. I have never done it myself, but I am certain you can follow the Log two or three times to get there."
Luffy and Zoro smile as Igaram turns his attention to the captain,
"And with that, I leave the princess in your care."
"Sure!" Luffy voices.
"Igaram." Vivi says with a concerned face and holds out a hand which Igaram takes, "You too."
The boat is now sailing with Igaram and the decoys.
"We shall meet again upon our homeland." Igaram thinks as it shows the others smile as they see him off, "Our country's salvation is in your hands."
"Wait!" Roger-ya suddenly shouted.
Everyone jumped at the loudness of the man's voice, and turned to look at the man in confusion and panic.
"How are his lips not moving but we can hear his voice?!" Roger-ya exclaimed as he pointed at the screen.
Everyone collectively sighed.
"Those are his thoughts, Roger." Rayleigh explained slowly like he was talking to a child, which Law guesses he kind of is. "We have seen this in previous viewings."
Roger-ya slowly dropped his hand that was pointing at the screen as he looked at his first mate. Law could see the gears turning in the man's head as he was processing the words Rayleigh-ya said to him.
"Oh. My bad."
Everyone collectively rolled their eyes and turned back to the screen.
"Well, he's gone." Luffy smiles with his hands behind his head, "He was a cool old man, wasn't he?"
Vivi smiles at him,
"Yes. We can count on him."
The boat is seen getting further away from the group. The music cuts and a bunch of hands are seen reaching out at something.
"What-?"
Suddenly the boat is blown up and everything turns white as the wind blows their hair and Luffys hat. The sound is heard again when there is a huge explosion.
"WHAT THE FU-!"
The dummies are seen burning up. Luffy is seen with a shocked expression, then Zoro, Nami,
"No…!"
Law's eyes were wide as he watched the screen. He was in shock at how out of the blue the explosion happened. Law could feel his heartbeat throughout his entire body and took deep breaths to calm down from the sudden adrenaline rush.
"What- what the fuck just happened?!" Marco-ya exclaimed a little breathlessly.
No one had words.
Vivi is shown but not her face as she stares at the explosion. The Eternal Pose falls from the boat and sinks into the ocean. The group is shown watching the explosion in front of them.
"It can't be!" Nami exclaims in disbelief, "They've already come…!?"
Luffy turns around, grabs his hat on the ground, and places it back on his head. His eyes are shadowed and inhales, "HE WAS A GREAT MAN!" Luffy shouts and runs towards the village.
"Damn." Law heard from the left side of the room.
"Nami! The Log!" Zoro shouts.
Nami looks down at her Log on her wrist,
"It's okay! It's already set!"
"Grab her!" Zoro orders, "Get to the ship!"
"Vivi! Vivi!" Nami yells.
Nami runs up to the girl and grabs her shoulder,
"Hurry!" Vivi bites her lip, "If they see us here, everything will be in vain , right!?"
Blood starts running down Vivi's chin as she bites down harder.
"That poor child." Whitebeard said sadly as he closed his eyes in sorrow.
Nami notices it and hugs Vivi hold the back of her head,
"It'll be alright! We'll get you home!" Vivi has a traumatized look on her face and tears start to form in her eyes, "See these guys? They might not look like much…"
"Oi Luffy! Get the other two!" Zoro shouts running away from the shore, "I'll get the ship!"
"...but they saved all of East Blue!" Nami continues, "Just the four of them!"
"Nami has a lot of faith in her crew," Rayleigh-ya said with a small smile, still a little shaken up from before.
Roger-ya and Shanks-ya gave small smiles at his words but they quickly vanished in favor of watching what was happening on the screen.
"Okay! Will do!" Luffy shouts as he runs.
Usopp is shown snoring on a table as Nami says,
"What's Baroque Works to them?" Sanji is also shown snoring, "What's Crocodile!?"
Nami smirks as she still holds Vivi,
"The Warlord doesn't stand a chance."
Luffy is huffing as he runs. He kicks down a door and quickly looks around. Luffy grabs Usopp's nose and Sanji's leg.
"WE'RE LEAVING!" Luffy yells as he drags the other two and they break through the wall and shout in protest.
There were small laughs at the display, Law thought they sounded a little forced.
Usopp's nose is turning purple as he shouts in pain and Sanji's head is banging on the ground and he shouts in pain as well. Luffy is sprinting as Sanji yells,
"What the hell are you doing, Luffy? OI!"
"YOU'RE GONNA BREAK MY NOSE!" Usopp exclaims.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Sanji shouts.
Nami is running and yells behind her,
"Hurry, Vivi!"
"R-Right!" Vivi answers as she runs behind Nami.
"Carcue is missing…" Vivi thinks.
'Carcue?', Law thinks.
The broken ship is shown with fire and smoke all around it. There is a black figure shown on the water before it's revealed to be a woman with a cowboy hat.
"What a fool." The woman said with a smirk, "Acting as a decoy."
"So she's the one who blew up that guy!" Marco-ya exclaimed.
Law thought that she looked a little familiar, but he didn't get a good look at her before the scene changed.
Zoro is shown hosting the anchor.
"Oi! I've got 'em!" Luffy says he holds a nose and leg.
"Get on! We're ready to go." Zoro says.
"Eh?" Luffy turns around in confusion. Sanji and Usopp are on the ground groaning in pain.
"You guys are still sleeping…" Luffy complains as Zoro looks at them with pity.
"We don't have time to look for him right now!" Nami's voice is heard.
"But I can't leave him here all alone!" Vivi says worriedly as Luffy drags Sanji and Usopp to The Merry.
"But, you know.." Nami trails off.
"Oi, what's wrong?" Zoro shouts down at them.
"She says that her spot-billed duck is missing!" Nami answers.
"Oh yeah," Roger-ya said, "She had a huge duck with her."
"Huh?"
"She says that it should've come when she whistled, but it won't!" Nami supplies.
Zoro looks to his side.
"You mean him?" Zoro points at the duck standing next to him. Carue waves at them.
Everyone sweat dropped at the scene.
"YOU WERE HERE THE WHOLE TIME?" The girls shout with tick marks.
"He was already onboard when I got on." Zoro said nonchalantly.
"If we sail up the rivers, it'll branch off into the sea." Vivi informs as she climbs the rope ladder of The Merry, "We'll be able to get on course faster."
"ALRIGHT!" Luffy shouts, "LET'S GO!'
The sails are released and they catch the wind.
"Oi." Zoro voices.
"Mr. Bushido!" Vivi looks over.
"Just how many hunters are we talking about?"
"I don't know. Baroque Works has about 2,000 employees. And I've heard that there are other towns like this one in the area."
"Wow, that's more than in our crew." Marco-ya side with an impressed look.
"Really, 2,000 people?" Nami asks in disbelief.
"Huh!?" Sanji exclaims.
"Hey… the ship is moving?" Usopp asks in confusion.
"You're finally up?" Nami asks with a raised eyebrow.
"WAIT! Let's stay another night!" Sanji yells.
"RIGHT!" Usopp agrees.
"This town was so much fun and the girls were SO CUTE!"
"When will we find another awesome place like this?"
"Let's take it slow, dammit! We're pira-"
"It's not even morning yet!"
"What annoying brats," Kadio-ya grunted, picking his ear with his pinky finger.
"They still don't know what's going on.." Zoro said with a sigh as Usopp and Sanji continued to yell in the background.
BONK! BONK!
"Oi! Explain it to 'em already…" Zoro said to Nami.
"Oh, all done!" Nami replied.
"That was quick.." Zoro said warily.
Usopp and Sanji are shown laying on the deck with bumps on their heads.
"Scary." Roger-ya shivred.
"Yeah, I skipped the boring details." Nami supplied.
The Merry is seen sailing and Vivi says,
"We're about to clear the island."
"Cool! Fog!" Luffy says excitedly.
"It'll be morning soon." Nami muses.
"Well, it's a good thing you got away from your pursuers!" A feminine voice says.
"Uh, wait, who was that?" Marco-ya said with a raised eyebrow.
"If I had to guess," Law supplied, "It was probably that woman who exploded Igaram-ya."
Almost everyone had looks of worry of how close the woman was to the crew. If she could blow up an entire ship, who knows what else she could do.
"It sure is!" Nami says.
"Watch out for the shallows so that you don't strike the hull." The feminine voice advises.
"You can count on me!" Nami grins.
"All of these brats are brainless." Big Mom huffed before she continued to snack on her treats.
Nami turns to Luffy and asks,
"Uh, was that you, Luffy?"
Luffy makes a noise of confusion as he turns to Nami. Nami slowly turns around and we see a woman, eyes shadowed by her cowboy hat, holding her head in her hand as she smiles down at the crew.
"Nice ship." The woman comments.
Nami and Vivi gasp in shock at the woman. The woman is shown sitting on the railing of the ship looking down at the crew.
"Who's that!?" Zoro exclaims with a hand on the hilt of his sword.
"You! You're…!" Vivi shouts looking up at the woman.
The woman softly laughs as we get a good view of her. She has black hair that goes a little past her shoulders with blue eyes.
"Nico Robin?!" Several voices exclaim. Law being one of those voices, Shanks-ya, Eustass-ya, Big Mom, and Garp-ya.
The past pirates looked at them in confusion. Law also looked confused about some of the voices as well.
"Who is Nico Robin?" Rayleigh asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well from what I know." Shanks-ya started, "She is one of the crew members of Luffy."
The past pirates looked confused at his words. Law was also confused about what he was being shown. He was pretty sure- no, definitely sure, Nico Robin is a member of the Straw Hats. So why is she shown as an enemy?
"But…" Marco-ya trailed off, confused as the others.
Shanks-ya shook his head before saying,
"I don't know anything about her or how she joined the crew."
The past pirates were all lost in thought before another voice said,
"Nico Robin, otherwise known as the 'Devil Child', had a bounty of 79 million at the age of eight."
Everyone looked over at the only marine in the room as he ate some crackers.
"79 million?" questioned Roger-ya, "Isn't that a bit excessive at the age of eight?"
Garp-ya didn't reply to his question and continued to munch on his crackers.
"Supposedly, Nico Robin sank seven battleships." Law supplied.
The past pirates plus Shanks-ya looked over with curious looks, clearly wanting to know more about a potential Straw Hat member. Law felt a little pressure at the eyes staring at him but continued on.
"Her homeland had a buster call sent to it, because there were scholars that could read poneglyphs, and she was the only one to escape."
The past pirates had horrified faces as they listened to Law speak. They clearly didn't like what they were hearing.
"The reason Nico Robin is called a 'Devil Child' is because she can read poneglyphs." Law finished.
"Mamama! She could be useful." Big Mom laughed.
The past pirates glared at her but didn't comment at her statement clearly not in the mood to have an argument.
"That child must have been through hard times." Whitebeard said softly.
"My question is how does she join Luffy's crew?" Roger-ya said with a raised eyebrow. Law was also curious about how the woman would join the crew as she is shown as an enemy right now. What an interesting turn of events, Law thought.
"Maybe you would find out if you would stop talking." Kaido-ya bluntly said.
Roger-ya huffed at his comment but turned back to the screen.
She smiles as she tilts her head,
"I saw Mr. 8 not too long ago, Miss Wednesday."
"You killed Igaram!" Vivi states as she glares at the woman.
"Even if you did," Luffy interrupts and points up at the woman, "Why the hell are you on my ship? Who are you?"
"What are you doing HERE? Miss All-Sunday!" Vivi yells.
"Miss All-Sunday?" Nami questions as she looks at Vivi,
"Miss All- Sunday?" Marco asks at the same time Nami does.
"Which number's partner is it this time?"
"Mr. 0's." Vivi answers solemnly, "The Boss' partner."
"Oh."
"CROCODILES?!" Nami gasps.
"So she's a bad guy?" Luffy asks in interest.
"She is the only one allowed to know the Boss' true identity…" Vivi informs, "We shadowed her in order to find out who he really was."
"Or to be more precise…" Miss All-Sunday smirked, "I let you shadow me."
"Oh, she's a good guy." Luffy concluded.
Law tried to ignore the stupidity as he tried to listen to the more important conversation.
"I knew that!" Vivi shouted angrily, "And then the one who informed the Boss of his exposed identity… was you, wasn't it!?"
"Correct." Miss All-Sunday confirmed.
"So she is a bad guy." Luffy said with a pout.
There were some smacks heard as a few people facepalmed.
"Just stay out of it." An exasperated Zoro said to Luffy.
"Just what exactly are your intentions!?" Vivi asked.
"Who knows?" Miss All-Sunday said as she closed her eyes, "But you were so serious about it… I just had to cooperate. A princess who actually thinks she can make enemies of Baroque Works and save her country… It's just so ridiculous…"
"YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" Vivi screams at her as she thinks about Igaram.
Suddenly Sanji is pointing a gun at Miss All-Sunday while Usopp aims his sling shot at her. Zoro takes his sword out of his hilt and Nami brings out her staff.
"Good reactions." Rayleigh-ya commented.
"Oi, Sanji. Any idea what's going on?" Usopp asks.
"Nope. Not exactly." Sanji answers, "But it seems the lovely Miss Wednesday is in danger.
Miss All-Sunday closes her eyes,
"Would you mind not pointing such dangerous things at me?"
Suddenly Sanji and Usopp are sent flying away from her as well as Nami's staff getting knocked out of her hands.
"What?"
"Probably a devil fruit."
"Oh yeah, probably."
"Could it be…?" Zoro looks at the woman in surprise.
"Oh!" Luffy says in surprise.
"The Devil…" Vivi starts.
Zoros' sword is knocked out of his hand. Sanji and Usopp land at their feet.
"The Devil's Fruit!?" Zoro asks in surprise.
"I guess they are still new to the whole 'devil fruit' thing since they're from the east blue." Shanks-ya deduced.
"Yeah probably." Roger-ya nodded in agreement.
"What?" Nami questions, "What kind of ability is it?"
Sanji looks up at Miss All-Sunday,
"WHOA! Looking from here, she's one beautiful lady!"
Some people sweat dropped at the change of attitude.
Miss All-Sunday softly laughs,
"Really, don't be in such a rush. I'm not under any orders at the moment. So I have no reason to fight with you."
Suddenly Luffy's hat is flown off his head and Miss All-Sunday catches it.
"So you're the famous Straw Hat Captain, hm?" Miss All-Sunday asks as she twirls the hat on her hand, "Monkey D. Luffy."
"OI! GIVE BACK MY HAT!" Luffy shakes his fists at her, "YOU WANNA FIGHT!?"
"It's just a hat." Eustass-ya grumbled quietly.
"You're not wanted here so get off our ship, jerk!" Usopp shouts from behind the mast.
Miss All-Sunday places the Straw Hat on her hat and says,
"What bad luck…You pirates picking up a princess that Baroque Works wants dead. And that princess being protected by such a small number of pirates…But your worst luck of all…is the route that Log Pose is leading you on."
Nami looks at her Log Pose in confusion.
"The name of the next island is…Little Garden." Miss All-Sunday smirks, "My sears, even if we do nothing to stop you, you won't make it to Alabasta. You will be annihilated."
"I DON'T CARE!" Luffy interrupts, "GIVE BACK HAT!"
"Luffy, calm down." Shanks-ya said exasperatedly but with a fond smile.
"YEAH! YOU MORON!" Usopp supports from the back.
"Are you a little kid?" Zoro asks Usopp.
"Rushing towards a place where you will die." Miss All-Sunday says as she throws Luffy his hat back and an object towards Vivi, "Doesn't that sound awfully foolish?"
"An Eternal Pose…" Vivi comments as she stares down at the object Miss All-Sunday gave her.
"With this, you can avoid Little Garden." Miss All-Sunday smirks, "This needle points to Nothing Island just short of Alabasta. Since none of our members know this route, you will not be followed."
Nami looks up in confusion,
"What? She's helping us out?"
"Yeah, that's a little suspicious." Marco-ya said warily.
"Why are you doing this?" Nami asks.
"It's obviously a trap." Zoro points out.
"I wonder." Miss All-Sunday smiles.
"What should I do?" Vivi thinks as Luffy starts to walk, "I don't want to accept something like this from her…But, if I'm going to be riding this ship…then taking the safest route would be best."
"Who the hell gives a crap!?" Luffy yells as he grabs the Eternal Pose and breaks it.
Law shook his head at the brashness of Straw Hat-ya.
"I'm liking this kid more and more." Roger-ya said with a smirk.
Vivi and Nami gasps in surprise. Luffy glares up at Miss All-Sunday before he is sent flying back.
"MORON!" Nami shouts as she kicks Luffy, "ARE YOU A COMPLETE DIMWIT? She just told us the best way to go! What if she was trying to help us!? What then!?"
There were some laughs at the display diffusing the tension a little.
Luffy is laying on his back with his Straw Hat laying next to him, and ignores Nami too look at Miss All-Sunday,
"You don't decide the route for this ship!"
"Oh. How unfortunate." Miss All-Sunday tilts her head as she smiles.
Luffy sits up and outs his hat back on as Nami glares down at him,
"Geez!"
"She blew up tube guy. I hate her." Luffy declares.
"At least he's honest."
Vivi looks over in surprise at his words. Miss All-Sunday starts to walk across the upper deck.
"Well, I don't hate those with high spirits. If you survive, let's meet again." Miss All-Sunday smiles at Luffy.
"NO." Luffy pouts.
Well, that's a little ironic, Law thought.
Miss All-Sunday laughs and jumps off the ship onto her own,
"Let's go, Banchi."
"W-What's that?" Zoro asks as he looks over the railing.
"Is that thing a Sea King?" Usopp questions as he looks next to Zoro, "
N-no, it's-!"
"WHOA!" Everyone exclaims, "IT'S A TURTLE!"
"They get entertained very easily." Rayleigh-ya deadpanned.
"That is one HUGE turtle!" Luffy points out.
Vivi falls to the ground,
"That woman…! I can't understand what she's thinking!"
"Then trying to understand is a waste of time." Nami states.
"Yeah, we got people like that on the ship already." Zoro comments as an arrow is pointed at Luffy.
Law was a little confused about the arrow, but agreed with it otherwise.
"Oi! Someone please explain all this?" Usopp asks desperately as The Merry is shown sailing away, "I have no idea what's going on!"
"Oh~! Miss Wednesday, are you one of our nakama now?" Sanji asks delightedly.
"Oi! Will someone explain…WHOA! We've got an OSTRICH now!?"
"Oi…what's going on?" Usopp cries.
"Would you like something to eat?" Sanji asks Vivi.
"SOMEONE EXPLAIN ALL THIS!"
"So noisy." grunted Garp-ya.
The next day, The Merry is seen sailing on open waters.
"I see." Sanji says as he smokes, "I've done something inexcusable, but I still have yet to show my abilities. It's all right now your sleeping knight has awakened…" Zoro looks at him in disgust, "...and I will make it my duty to ensure your safety."
"Damn…! I'm glad I was asleep!" Usopp says relieved.
"Nami-Swan, are you jealous?" Sanji asks.
Nami has her arms crossed as she responds,
"Not in the least."
There were some laughs at her answer.
"I wonder…" Vivi starts, "...is it really alright for me to be aboard your ship? I don't want to be a burden…"
Nami raises an eyebrow and pokes Vivi in the forehead,
"What are you talking about? Thanks to you, we're all marked for death. If you didn't want to be a burden, you shouldn't have done that in the first place."
Law agreed with what the Navigator was saying. He would not be pleased if he was in her position.
"I'm sorry." Vivi says regretfully.
"Right, Luffy?" Nami asks.
Luffy raises his arms and shouts,
"OH! I'm hungry!"
Everyone sweat dropped at the captain's one track mind.
"I don't think he cares…" Vivi sweat dropped.
The scene faded to black.
