Chapter 7: Time is complicated
Zoro & Nami
=====
Supposedly, they need to find Luffy. But, the two 'newly' recruited namakas were staring at each like a face off, not opening up unless the other says something first.
Finally, Nami couldn't take it anymore and sigh. "We aren't going anywhere if we continue like this. We need to find Luffy! So hurry up and say it!" Nami demanded.
"Say what? I didn't do a thing." Zoro grumbled taking a hold of the paddle and started rowing to wherever the next island is.
Nami glared at him. "Then what do you explain this?!"
"WE'RE BACK ZORO! This.. THIS IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BEGIN WITH AND YOU TELL ME YOU HAVENT DONE A THING?!"
"How should I know?! I told you I didn't do anything, maybe it was Robin or something." Zoro scoff in disdain. Out of all people that Nami could point her hands to, it just had to be him.
"You're the next stupidest person on the ship second to Luffy." As if reading his thoughts, he heard Nami cold hearted words.
"HEY!"
Rolling her eyes Nami was in deep trance. "Say.. this isn't a dream right?" Namis voice was soft but it was enough for Zoro to hear.
"Whether it is or not, does it matter?"
"Of course it does! If we really did travel back in time then.. we might be able to change the future." Namis voice got smaller and smaller as she continued on.
"Im not passing the chance. I'll do what I want to do." Zoro said in determination.
Whether it was a time travel or a dream, it didn't matter to Zoro. Since he had full control of his body then he'll do exactly what he wants.
This time, he'll protect them. He will.
Nami grumbled as she rolled her eyes. "Do you even know what consequences we'll get if we change the future?! Do you ever think of that?" Before Zoro could open his mouth and answer Nami as if came into a realization added. "Augh. Nevermind, you dont have enough braincells for this."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Now, Zoro is annoyed. His not that stupid, he just didn't want to think about it. Whats the use of thinking when it will happen either way?
Nami groaned again both frustrated and annoyed. "Hopefully, someone more reliable with brains remember." Nami muttered at this time Zoro didn't bother with it and ignored her.
Time travelling to the past was unheard of, much less back to their younger body blending in to the current timeline. They have met people who time travelled and have certain information how the toki toki no mi works. It can send people to the future with their current body, neither aging or going younger. Their growth, age and strength remains to the day they were sent, nothing changes when they arrive to the time they travelled. But, their situation was different. They travelled to the past neither with their strength from their past/future life or the body they have came along with them. They were back to the beginning where Luffy had yet to make waves.
Messing up with time is complicated and thinking about how it works is hard. But at least, Nami could very much rule out the possibility of the use of devil fruit.
"Hey hey hey.. what's this? Hehehehe" A voice suddenly resounded from the open sea full of jeer and snickers, Nami took a glance at the boat and the 3 men sailing it. She found them familiar but can't place it. She then proceeded to look at the sail of the boat, after seeing it Nami sighed.
"Oh~ a pretty lady.."
"Why don't you come here and dump that guy?"
"GAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA!"
In actuality, Nami had seen them from a distance but didn't bother on telling it to Zoro. She knows that without even telling him about it, he already knows. Even if Zoro doesn't have a brain, at least he still have his uses. In other words, no one in East Blue can defeat Zoro. If a fight is what they want, let Zoro take the lead.
"Hey! Green hair like a moss! Got any treasures!? Hurry up and give em all up! GAHAHAHAHHAHA!"

And so.. of all the things that he could have called Zoro, it just have to be that.
Without a doubt, they were seeking death.
It didn't take a minute for the two to change boats and have three helpers rowing them to Orange town.
"Row faster!" Nami barked fiercely, annoyed at their fake flattery and chatter that sounds so force.
"YES MA'AM!"
And so.. the boat speed up like a jet ski on the sea.
Woah.. I guess that's it. I'm not going in too much details... but maybe I will.. I really don't know.
Anyways thank you for reading One Piece: Mixed.
