Fate Whispered to the warrior 'You cannot withstand the storm' and the warrior whispers back 'I am the storm'
The crab itself was called a crab mover. The creature easily able to carry all of the crew. The only downside, the crab was also... a giant pervert.
She shifted in her seat, she felt. Something. Something on the winds, something unnatural heading -
"Vivi!" the surprised scared screams of the straw hats snapped her to attention. Dawnya's hands latched onto the arm of the princess. She attempted to pulled the girl back towards the safely of the crab. Fate was not on her side. It a matter of moments the tug of war was concluded – Dawnya being yanked off her feet like she was only a feather in the path of resistance. It wasn't her fault she weighted basically nothing.
Blue hues widen as the pair became weightless – both being dragged by the golden hook on the trail of sand.
She felt a rubber arm wrap around her waist pulling her backwards towards the crab – Luffy hooking his arm around the hook after throwing before herself and Vivi back towards the moving creature. Blue hues locked onto the determine dark one of the captains.
The teen gritting his teeth before shouting out, "go one without me! I can handle this!"
The pair crashed into the awaiting arms of zoro and Sanji - in a tangle of limbs as Luffy was pulled away – the crew shouting warning while a determined Luffy gave his orders as captain. "Take care of Vivi! Make sure she gets to Alubarna!"
The tense atosmphere settle on the crew – just because the captain had ordered they leave it didn't mean that they liked it. That much dawnya could tell. Zoro turned towards the girl, "you literaly weight nothing don't you, how onearth do you easily shoulder a heavy sword?"
"I am very light I know..." Dawnya glanced towards the male, before caressing her pommel of the blade, "tobutori is fickle, heavy to those she doesn't believe has the will to wield her, like her name she's swift as a flying bird but strength..." she words drifted off. "Though I can easily wield my blade, lifting weights is not my ideal test"
"Hmm, we will have to spar when we have sorted this out." zoro settled back into a comfortable position his face turned towards the kneeling girl. He'd seen his old masters sit in the position the girl was in – he had tried at some point but after a while the painful numbness got to his legs. (He did have respect for the girl doing it all the time but he would never admit it) "it be interesting to see who'd win"
"I haven't lost a battle in a long time" a Sparke flittered in her eyes at the challenge. The swordsman smirked in response, eyeing at her from the corner of his eye as he stared forward into the endless sand dune of the dessert.
The rest of the journey over the sands was silent par the occasional mumbling of a crew mate quickly chatting – it helps the calm the nerves. Dawnya sat silently the suns heat raining down on her, she closed her closes listening to the shifting sands, signal gains moving in the slow winds.
If it wasn't for the echos on war and battles being carried on the winds – it would have been peaceful. A perfect place to meditate.
Shame it wouldn't last.
The silent mumbling grew louder as usopp voice grew stronger until the retelling of his tails of why crabs sidesway... grunts could be heard from the green hair male as he balanced the relaxing camel on the edges of his sword. Lifting it with ease.
The action itself making her impressed and excited towards their battle. Not that the half-exposed face could show it.
She quietly listened to Nami talking to Sanji, the male smoking calmy while his words pissed of the training swordman. She could feel her lips twitch upwards, seems eyes crinkled into half-moons from watching the pair interact.
They were both friends and enemies. Comrades but rivals. It was interesting to watch the relationship between the two.
"WHAT! WE CANTS CROSS THE RIVER ON THIS CRAB?" the scream of usopps voice broke her out of her medication, the world around them coming back into view.
"Crab movers" again with strange names, "are creatures of the desert! They hate water" chopper explained again.
"But it's a crab! A crab! Do something" a panic crewmate (usopp) called pulling out a map of the country. "that's rivers as wide as a sea! It would take us the rest of the day to swim across!"
"And I can't swim" she put in her comment.
Usop nodded, "and look! After the river we'll have to have to cross miles and miles of desert! If this crab can't cross the river, what are we gonna do once we get to the other side run!?"
"Uh-oh" Sanji made a sound pointing towards the blue expanse in front of them. "There the Sandora river up ahead!"
"I got it! " chopper jumped up, Dawnya narrowed her eyes, she would not be doing something like that! Luckily, she didn't have to. Nami underneath her cloak was wearing the girl dancer clothes Sanji had gotten when they first landed on the isle.
"Will this do?" the ginger questioned, earning the attention of the perverts... including that of the crab.
Dawnya blinked as hearts appeared in the eyes of the crab (as well as the Sanji and the camel? She didn't question it)
She swayed backwards, her body threatening to fall of the beast as the creature picked up speed. She felt a hand grip tightly onto her wrist, glancing to zoro she nodded it thanks as her body threatened to become weightless as the group zoomed towards the water's edge.
What was the plan again?
"he's picking up speed?"
"Nami~"
"hubba~ hubba~"
"Those two are useless..."
"it's the power of love!"
"How is this going to help us chopper?"
The strange crew of pirate's chorus resettling into their positions, zoro keeping a firm grip on her arm.
"Whoa! Hey this crab is amazing..." muttered Sanji the glasses almost falling off his head in surprised.
"it's a miracle!"
The crab in its perverted glory was running soo fast it appeared to be skiing on the water top. Dawnya looked distrustfully at the watery depths below. She had a sinking feeling she was going to end up in the water once again.
It may not have been a feeling in her stomach as the other in the cheers noticed a slight drop in height, that only grow at the water got closer and closer to them.
"Some miracle this is!" muttered zoro, pulling Dawnya closer to his frame as the water consumed them and the heart stickered crab.
She felt her energy drain completely. The water sapping her of all strength as she began a dead weight in the waters. Dawnya blue hues glanced towards the skies about, "water sucks" she muttered with a sigh.
"You really can't swim can you" zoro commented, wrapping an arm over his shoulder, while chopper was stationed on his head.
She sighed, "its draining" she muttered queitly but the pair heard it loud and clear. Chopper and zoro shared a glance, devil fruit?
"waaaaaaaah!" usopps and Nami terrified screams alerted the group somethings was amiss.
A shadow loomed over them... it was a giant fucking fish. Dawnya tiredly glared at the fish, why? Just why?
"A rare Sandora catfish! It's really rare to see one!" Vivi informed the floating crew. Both amazed and scare of the giant creature – is it trying to eat them?
Yes, the answer was yes.
The sea-creature opened its jaws inhaling water as it tried to swallow the group whole. "And its favourite food is man!" Vivi continued. As the group swam away from the man-eating creature.
"Tell us that first!" usopp complained, trying to swam as fast as he could in the layers of desert clothing, tears pouring from his eyes. Luckly there were saved by the unlikeliness of creatures.
The cute Kung Fu Jugon's, from earlier had completely knocked the man-eating fish out.
