Fate Whispered to the warrior 'You cannot withstand the storm' and the warrior whispers back 'I am the storm'
Dawnya sat on her tidy bed, watching at the rest of the crew clamber into the room, chatting and waiting for captain to awake from his slumber. Though her eyes were drawn to zoro who talked about the room, changing before exiting the room like it was the most natural thing in the world. She narrowed her hues at the green haired male.
"Don't get lost..." she muttered quietly as the door closed behind the swordman.
Nami dropped onto her bed Vivi besides her, picking up a book from a bag. One of many surrounding the ginger teens bed, Dawnya glanced at the scramble of letters before turning her attention to Sanji and usopp, the pair discussing the city works.
Chopper with his equipment, sat by the desk. The reindeer writing on a piece of paper, the little creature, stating that he was going to come up with a suitable healing plan from the crews most injured. Surprisingly usopp who during the battle was wrapped like a mummy had healed very quickly. Making the swordswomen wonder what the teen was made from.
She sighed out, the air breath fluttering as she watched the interactions of the crew. Any moment now it would happen. Any moment and the captain would hopefully awaken. Awaken to the crew surrounding him.
They were movement in the corner of her eyes, "hmm" she made a sound of interest turning away from watching usopp chatting with Sanji towards the movement.
"woooooaaaah! I slept very well!" Luffy strung up in bed, like a jack-in-a-box; arms in the air a giant grin on his face as the captain came alive from the world.
The group jumped in surprised, staring with glee at the captain, smiles and sigh of relief that he had awoken. Though the captains prioritize seem a little skew-whiff "Hat? My hat?" the captain scratched back of his head "I feel very hungry. where's my breakfast and hat?"
"This guy is really nosy when he wakes up!" Sanji chuckled taking a drag of his fag. "Also, it's not breakfast time, it's dinner time."
"Your hat is just there, the guard found it found you" usopp pointed out to the table beside the bed, where the hat innocently laid.
"Woah, thanks"
"Luffy San, it's good to see you in high spirits." Vivi chuckled leaning against the back of the chair she perched on.
"High spirits?" Luffy looked confused at Vivi as he placed on hat firmly on his head, "I'm like this all the time, aren't I?"
"You idiot!" Nami scolded, from where she was reading a book, "you had a high fever and your condition was pretty serious!"
"Really? Thanks, you all!"
"Ahh Luffy, you're awake?" the voice of zoro called as he stepped into the room. The male no doubt having sneaked off to train.
"Ahh zoro! Long-time not see..." Luffy greeted back, before confusion laced his featured.
Zoro poured himself a drink looking a little worse for wear. At least he changed into darker clothes – making it harder for chopper to tell if he trained or not. Not the creature couldn't, he seemed to have a sixth sense for it.
Dawnya glanced between a chopper scolding zoro, and an increasing confused Luffy. The male repeating the statement, long time no see...
"ne~ ne~ how long was I asleep for?" Luffy asked the room, "three days" she stated, earning the captain's attention.
"Three days!? I slept for three days!?" the raven-haired captain exclaimed. Making those in the room jumped, and surprised as the boy calculated how many meals he'd missed while being asleep.
Luckily the glutton of a caption was satisfied by a female looking Igraham? The swordswomen weren't hundred percent sure who Igraham was but usopp was quick to fill her and chopper in on who the male was and that he looked like his wife.
"I want three days' worth of food!" the captain to which the women smiled gleefully at the challenged.
-x-x-x-x-
It was a warzone.
She sat beside zoro at the long table. Though the pirate crew was eating with royalty. (Vivi didn't count in their eyes) the dining room was a warzone.
Dawnya stabbed down at the stretchy hand at that's crept towards her food. A cold glare staring at the glutton known as Luffy. Daring him to try and stealth her food, she had no qualms actually stabbing the boy with her fork if the hand crept closer on its next attempt.
Zoro chuckled from beside her, a chuckled that froze as Luffy decided to target him, stealing a piece of meat before the captain turned his attention to usopp. Who easily retaliated with hot sauce.
Dawnya watched the chaos, hues glittering at the sight. As she slowing took of the mask, the hall quietening a moment before the noised grew even lounder if possible.
Though Dawnya didn't know the reason – the crew and Vivi were happy to see even the smallest of smile on the previously blank faced swordswomen.
She finished her food quickly, with what her stomach to handle before replacing the gasmask. Hiding the bottom of her face.
"You looking better" zoro voiced from beside her, the male taking a swig of sake. She hummed in acknowledgment, not wanting to curse her current luck. She wanted to keep the happiness.
"You know, we have to wait a little longer for our spar, I don't think chopper would survive if my stiches broke again"
"I look forward to it," she turned fully to the other male beside her. "I'm quite curious who would win"
"We should train together" Zoro grinned before turning round to a sever, "can I have more sake please?"
Sky hues turning to those sitting around the table. Sanji asking about recipes, Nami and Vivi chatting. Luffy speaking with his mouth full to the king...
Soon enough the whole warzone turned into cheering laugher. A contagious laugher that echoed throughout the halls of the palace.
-x-x-x-x-x-
Dawnya stood in the changing room. Apparently, there were baths at the palace. Hot springs to share. She had delayed exiting with the other girls, thinking over the possibles.
Making sure she was in the clear, she stripped taking off the clothes gifted by Nami. Clutching the towel, she noted to her dismay that it wouldn't cover her shoulder. Though she was expecting of her past – this was still one thing she didn't want anyone to see.
Just yet.
It was a danger to all of those around.
She breathed out, moving the towel that was wrapped around her body covering her private parts and opting to use the white cloth to cover her shoulder blade instead making her bare for all to see.
She steeled herself before walking out of the changing room into the grand bathhouse.
Steam rose around her as she slowly made her way to the pair, not caring that she was completely on show. She stayed silent as she walked over the pair, Vivi scrubbing Nami back as the ginger spoke taking in the glorious bath. "I wonder if there is a ship equipped with such a bath?"
"There must be one" Vivi grinned, a smile growing as she thought back to their previous adventures, "the sea is so vast! There is giants and dragons! Snowy countries with sakura flowers blooming."
Nami hummed in agreement, staring at the princesses. "let's swap! Oh Dawnya!" the ginger blinked spotting the swordswomen, as she made her way over.
Nami eyes scanned over her form, "you know the towels supposed to cover you up, right?" the ginger teased.
Dawnya nodded, "I know" its covering what I wanted was left unsaid.
"You look great! I didn't realise how toned you where..." Vivi drifted of before her eyes caught something. "Hey what are you going!" the princess screeched.
On the other side of the wall, peering over into the female section was the male crewmembers, king and attended. The male perverts staring down at the female.
"Those guys..." Nami muttered, glancing at the group from her sitting position. Her face staring at the group with a 'really?' expression.
Dawnya stared blankly, as Vivi moved to stood in front of her, "don't brother" she patted the princess shoulder in reassurance. Honestly, she didn't think anything of it – she had been naked in front of others women and male alike many times.
Blue hues scanning the group, noting chopper and Luffy confused expressions, Sanji bleeding nose and lovestruck face. But it was zoro that she stopped at. The male swordman staring intently at her form, drinking in the sight of her standing there confidently only a towel covering her shoulder. He froze like a rabbit in headlights only to unfreeze as Sanji dragged him down after Nami flashed the others. Caused the lovestruck cook nosebleed exploding along with the kings.
"Oh, Dawnya huh?" Sanji teased noting the greenettes red ears.
"Shut up love cook" zoro glared at the blonde, "no idea what you're on about"
Sanji smirked, "suure~"
-x-x-x-x-x-
Dawnya turned, settling herself into the pool, making sure that her back was never to the other two who'd were already settled into the pool.
"we're thinking of leaving here today" Nami dropped the bombshell.
"Huh? Really?" Vivi muttered in surprised, turning towards the ginger as the pirate exclaimed. "We don't have any reason to stay here anymore because Luffy has recovered. The marines are guarding the coast our ship is in danger,"
Dawnya watched the exchanged, a line of worry pulling at her hear. The words hadn't been said, the swordswomen hadn't official been invited to the crew nor turned away. The ravenette was planning on tagging along if they let her, she sunk into the water – the waterline lapping over the top edge of her gas mask. The values close as the water hit.
She hadn't realised it till using her powers, her devil fruit was the only reason why she could still 'breath' while doing this. A survival instinct her body did unconsciously.
She nodded to herself, she would join the crew, whether they ask or not. Only leaving if they didn't want her there. There were her 'friends' according to chopper so it shouldn't be too bad... hopefully.
Seems like a plan.
