Diamond Tiara was passed out on the deck. She had throw-up around her mouth. There was a horrid smell around her. She wore nothing but bandages and a red cloak. She was muttering, "Yes, mysterious lady. Of course, I'd get in the shower with you." She was quiet enough for nobody to hear.
The mysterious lady she was dreaming about, also known as Miss All Sunday, had just left on a giant turtle. Luffy was distracted by it, but everyone else was looking down at Diamond Tiara from a few feet away.
"What should we do with her," asked Usopp.
"She's not going in my room," said Nami. "But we can't throw her overboard."
Luffy said he would've destroyed the eternal pose. He also still liked Diamond Tiara so they couldn't abandon her in the ocean.
"We can't keep her on deck. She seems sick," said Vivi. Everyone looked at her surprised. "I get that she destroyed the eternal pose, but she still helped us, right?"
"She did beat up those agents," said Nami. "So how could we keep her someplace safe, without letting her smell get in my sheets."
Everyone slowly looked over at the storage room.
Chapter 7: The Captain's Room! Arrival At Whiskey Peak!
Dymon D. Ciara
I woke up on a hardwood floor. I got up and stretched. I cracked my back, shoulder, and neck. I shouldn't have slept on the floor.
Why did I sleep on the floor? I tried to remember what happened and got nothing. Alcohol messes me up, I should quit, eventually.
I was in the storage room of the Going Merry. It was large and empty, with only three barrels and a few boxes. It felt nice, I could see myself living there. I left the room and walked onto the deck.
Nobody was there. The sail was furled, and ice was falling from the sky. There was a sheet of it over the entire ship. I looked around and saw some light coming out of the kitchen. I went up the stairs and walked in.
They were in the usual chaos of eating. Luffy was stealing food and everyone else was trying to keep him from doing so. "Hey," I called out. They froze and looked at me. "What happened? Why is she here?" I pointed at the whale killer.
"Wait a minute," said Nami. She wiped her face with a napkin. "How much of yesterday do you remember?"
I racked my brain for a bit. "Getting to Whiskey Peak." I strained my brain. I got a light headache. "I remember an explosion, destroying a snow globe, and the world's sexiest lady."
Nami groaned. I didn't know what her problem was. "Sit down, we'll catch you back up to speed."
I sat down. "Sanji," I snapped my fingers. "Food."
"Yes ma'am," he yelled as he went to the stove.
I looked over the rest of the crew. "So, what should I know?"
"Well, first thing first," said Nami. "You destroyed an Eternal Pose that would've made getting to Alabasta much easier."
"Two questions. What's Alabasta, and what's an Eternal Pose?" She rolled her eyes at my perfectly reasonable question. Everyone else was either laughing or, in Zoro's case, falling asleep.
"This will take a while." Nami had her head in her hands.
A long time passed. Nami told me about the party, the fight Zoro had, and the princess. During her explanation, I remembered threatening to murder some lady with an umbrella. During the conversation, Sanji got me a big bowl of spaghetti, which I ate quickly. There was also a coup in some random country but that wasn't important. I focused on one part of the explanation.
"So, what you're saying is, I got laid?"
"No, you passed out," said Nami. "Did you even listen to me?"
"Yes. I'm attracted to a terrorist, we're beating up a crocodile, and we're getting involved in politics." I looked at Vivi. "Oh, and she's a princess."
"Pretty much," said Luffy. He was eating while everyone else paid attention, there was no food left.
"Awesome, now what?"
"We're going to Little Garden," said Nami. "And if we're lucky, we won't die." A thunderous crash came from outside. "There's a storm, we need to get out there."
We all got up with a groan. "Why can't we all just drown?"
"I'm allergic to dying," said Usopp. Oh, I forgot he was there for a moment. It was nice to see him.
There were almost constant storms for the rest of the day. During the brief breaks, I broke off from the group and moved all the stuff in the storage room to one side. I then took a big piece of cloth and hung it on the rudder stick. It split the room in half and gave me enough room for a hammock and a stolen desk from Nami's room. I deserved it, I was the captain.
A few days passed, and nothing much happened. Nami took her desk back after punching me, I learned about some kid named Koby, and I got a new record for hand-standing. Two full days. It was a nice day out. We were all outside, enjoying the warm sun. I was sitting on a sun chair. I couldn't tan because of my bandages, but they didn't need to know that.
Sanji came out of the kitchen. He had a plate covered with brightly colored drinks. "Does anyone want some of my special drink?"
"I do," I yelled with the rest of the crew. We sat together in a circle and partook in the drink. It was great. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
We were in a discussion about fishing when Kuroo, the weird bird, started drinking. He drank multiple cups in a few seconds.
"Wow, this is awesome." We were all blown away by the duck's talent. He then passed out and we all shared a laugh.
After a small detour with a giant dolphin, we started making our way to Little Garden.
We saw it in the distance. Nami pointed at it. "That's our next destination."
"Our second island in the Grand Line!" Luffy was excited. That made me excited. I couldn't wait to make it there!
We went through a canal. Everyone was at the front of the ship. Some of us, by that I mean Usopp, were afraid of what was out there. Mostly because of a cryptic warning from the sexy cowboy lady. I didn't pay attention to such idiocies, even as the island screamed at us. It did that frequently.
Nami and Usopp cowered from the noise. I noticed how Sanji looked at Nami with a blush. "You're so adorable."
Usopp looked at him and said, "Thank you." Sanji yelled at him, but I had to agree that he was cuter. Mostly because Nami looked so much worse, though.
"What's the screeching," asked Nami.
"Eh, it's just that giant bird," I said, pointing at a large, feathered beast coming down to snatch Sanji. He was able to duck thanks to me. Luffy thought it would taste good. I agreed, bird was my favorite type of meat.
There were more animal sounds. Lions waiting to eat us. Tigers already eating. I was pretty sure I saw a dinosaur. A tiger died in front of us. Nami and Usopp didn't want to go on shore. They only wanted to wait until they could move on to the next island. I didn't care, I wanted some giant bird.
Luffy and I made eye contact. We had the same thought. "Sanji, pack some lunches! We're going on an adventure!"
