Mikan and Pinwheels

It was about an hour or so now that they left Baratie. Luffy was jumpinig around the little boat while the others were sitting.

Over excited Luffy suddenly came over to sit with them too while asking ''So, are we getting close to where Nami is?'' causing Yosaku to slam his hand down on his knee. ''You're way too happy! Dont you get it?! Evey second that passes, bring us closer to the infamous Arlong!'' he yells while pointing a finger to Luffy. Luna, who was eating a chocolate in silence until now ''You didnt tell us where are we going before though...'' said nonchalantly, not even looking at him

Yosaku turned to Luna ''I didnt?'' he asked stupidly. She looks at Yosaku like he is an idiot ''You only told us that we are going to a dangareous place and problably to our deaths'' she said while Luffy and Sanji also nods. Yosaku then starts to explain. Saying that Nami's behavior was suspicious when she was looking to Arlong's wanted poster. Johnny and he was suspected that fishmans was surely involved this matter or Nami was wanting the bounty on Arlong's head.

Of course, Luffy, Luna and Sanji didnt worried about this at all and while Luffy asked for meat from Sanji, Luna also asked for more sweat things since it was an energy source for her. Well, Yosaku was on the verge of tears at this though. He start to yell again that they dont understand and begin to tell them everything he knew about Arlong. This caused Sanji to get excited about the idea of seeing mermaids and Luffy draws a really funny picture of what he thought a fishman and mermaids looked like all the while Luna was laughing and Sanji was getting angry at his mermaid image. Yosaku, getting angry also start to tell them about Seven Warlords by mentioning Mihawk and Jinbe and how awful they are. ''His power is easily surpasses everyone here. Jimbe left Arlong here in East Blue and since then he have taken control of twenty town''

Luna frowns at this ''Jinbe didnt left Arlong here'' she says while frowning at Yosaku making them turn towards to Luna. ''What do you mean, big sis?'' Yosaku asks with confuse. ''Jinbe and Arlong were in the same crew before their captain's death. After that, Arlong along with a few other fishman who thinks they are superior to humans left fishman pirates and came to the east blue.'' she sighs a moment and looks at the horizon ''I'm not even sure if Jinbe knows what Arlong is doing here, since Arlong pays to the marines to keep them shut up.'' she says. She didnt remembered this at first but after spending almost a year in the east, she knew about this. She then turns to Yosaku and frowns again ''Dont believe every rumor you heard. For all I know, Jinbe is a good and honorable man'' she finishes and takes another bite from her chocolate. ''You know Jinbe too, Luna-chan?'' Sanji asks after they listened what Luna said. Luffy also looks at Luna with curious, he knew that Luna would somehow knew things even without knowing this Jinbe guy but they learned that Luna was in the Grand Line and she knew the Hawk-eye. So maybe she could know Jinbe too?

Luna's eyes looks far away for a moment when she talks ''I didnt met him before...'' she starts slowly ''But I have friends who knows him well and I believe what my friends told me not the rumors.'' She shakes her head a little, like getting off from her thoughts. She then looks at them again ''Anyway, it wasnt Jinbe who left Arlong here'' She finishes. Luna, didnt want them to blame Jinbe for this. Not that the things she know from her previous life but what she said was true. She would believe what her friends told her. If they would say Jinbe is a bad person, she would basically think that something is changed and Jinbe became a bad person. She would also start to gather information about this afterwards though. ''Luna-chan...'' Luna looks at Sanji after hearing his weird voice. ''hm?'' He was looking like he was about to explode from something ''You were in the Grand Line, right?'' She had a feeling where is this going ''Yeah?'' she asked hesitantly. Luffy and Yosaku was also looking curiously to Sanji, to hear what is he's gonna say ''Have you ever see a mermaid? Did you go to the Fishman Island?'' Sanji asks with a very excited face and tone causing Luna to sweatdrop a little ''I didnt go to the Fishman Island but... I saw mermaids before'' She says.

Since she never go to the Fishman Island, all the mermaids she saw were the slaves though. She shakes her head mentally and looks at to Sanji who looks at her with a bright hopeful eyes. No need to open up this dark subject right now...She smiles in mischievous ''Dont worry, Sanji. They are even more beautiful then you think'' she says causing to Sanji a nose bleed. Yosaku also had red cheeks a little at the thought of the beautiful mermaids while Luffy and Luna laugh at Sanji's bloody dreaming state. After fine five minutes later, Sanji goes to his little cabin with an over happy face to prepare something to eat. Yosaku, who also get out his dream land, comes back and start to tell again that Arlong is still a dangareous while Luffy also says that they will worry about it once they go there.

Soon, all of them was around their little table and eating meal. Luffy and Yosaku were fighting over food while Luna happily praising Sanji. She was, in the end loved to eat and the food was so delicious. She was happy that they had finally Sanji. Sanji was also happy from the praise he got from Luna, had hearts on his eyes and was keep going his goddess poems to Luna when the boat start to shake a little. ''Hmm?'' Everyone turns their head and see a giant sea cow. While Yosaku starts to scream in panic, Luffy, Luna and Sanji looks at the cow with curiosity. ''a cow...'' Luna says. She looks a moment longer and turns to her meal and keeps going to eat calmly. It didnt interest her much.

Yosaku, who still in panic, says that maybe the cow smell the food and if they give it to it, the cow would leave them alone. Of course, this makes Luffy panic and he punchs the cow while yelling ''Stay away from our food!'' Luna also nods at this while still calmly eating her meal. Sanji however gets angry to Luffy, tells him that if it wanted food he would feed it. But... when he goes with a plate there to feed it, he also kicks the cow the moment it open it's mouth, shocking Yosaku, who yells ''Why did you do this?! What happened to the love?!''

''It was going to eat me with the plate. I couldnt let that happen'' Sanji answers to Yosaku coolly as he lit a cigarette while the cow gets up and roars to them with fury. Sanji let a puf from his cigarette and kick it from neck so hard that the poor thing fainted in the ocean. After that, Luffy and Sanji came back to the table and join Luna to finish their meals like nothing happen in the beginning. Yosaku on the other hand was murmuring ''You're crazy'' and looking at them with mix of horror and awe.

After finishing their meal, they tied a rope around the horns of the cow to pull their litle boat ''Go cow!'' Luffy yells at it and terrified poor cow starts to pull the boat. When the boat almost flying with the cows fast pulling, Luna was laughing happily while eating the dessert Sanji made for her.

After less then thirty minutes later, they finally spot the island on the horizon. Luna, narrowed her eyes at seeing Arlong Park. Not just its name but also it looks was really looked like Saboady Park. She hated slavery after all these years. She even could understand Arlong's hatred to the humans, but coming here, to East Blue and do things to the humans who doesnt even know anything was wrong. In Luna's mind, if Arlong was so full of hatred then he should go and take revenge from humans that responsible, not this humans who are inocent.

She came out from her thoughts with Luffy's scream ''Not this way!'' he was pointing the building ''Your other left, to the building! stupid cow!'' while the cow ignores Luffy ''Its better if we go another direction and find others first, Luffy'' Luna says calmly. Luffy looks at Luna in confuse a little then smiles big and turns to cow again ''Alright! keep going cow!'' he laughs loudly and with excitement when he saw the shore.

The cow hit it with a force that it threw their little boat straight to the air, towards island. ''Oh! It's like we're flying!'' Luffy yells with exciment and laughs happily while Sanji and Yosaku yells ''We are flying, you moron!'' they were trying to hold on while Luna's arms were on the air and laughing happily too ''This is so fun!'' After a little longer Yosaku screams again ''We're falling!'' the answer he got was the laughs of Luffy and Luna though. When the boat start to slide on the ground Luffy ''Landing successful!'' said happily. Luna, who feels like at the amusement park at the moment, felt a presence and look at the front with more focused eyes and saw Zoro, standing right in front of them with a bewildered state ''Luffy?'' he says lowly, like he tries to decide if its real or not...

''Zoro!'' Luna happily yell at him while waving her hand but before Zoro even react, the boat crashed him and drag him along with them. Just about the boat was finish its slide and was get destroyed, Luna jumped and landed on besides it. As the smoke and dust starts to clear up ''That was awesome! We're finally here!'' Luffy yelled with a happy voice. Luna also was laughing ''We should do this again'' While Luffy nods at Luna, Yosaku, who heard this was grouning under the pieces of woods, which was what left from the boat. Sanji on the other hand was sitting coolly and smoking a cigarette when a voice come under the boards ''What the hell'' Zoro comes up under the boards and yell with a furious tone ''were you doing!''

''Flying, landing and then stopping'' Luna says lowly while moving towards to poor Yosaku to pull him out under the wrecked boat. ''Zoro!'' Luffy says happily ''We came for Nami! How come you're here? Where is Nami?'' he then stops, as if remembered something else ''Oh right! Where is Usopp and Johnny?'' with this Zoro's eyes got widen ''Usopp!'' he get up from where he sits ''Shit! We have to get hurry!'' he starts to run. Luffy asks after him, not understanding ''Why? Whats going on?''

''That stupid got himself caught by Arlong!'' Zoro tries to explain quickly ''We have to hurry before they kill him!'' before anyone can react, they heard a voice ''He's already dead!'' Johnny said while coming towards them with a tired look. He was breathless and there were tears coming from his eyes. They all turned to him with a widen eyes expect Luna, who had a blank face. ''What?'' Zoro asks coming out from his shock. ''It's too late'' Johnny starts while falling to his knees ''Big bro Usopp is dead'' He starts to punch the ground ''Nami, she killed him!''

Yosaku who still in shock ''You're joking, right?'' asks lowly with a bewildered voice. Luffy however was furious, not beliving Johnny ''It's a lie!'' he yells

''It's true!'' Johnny also yells as he starts to sit cross-legged ''She was a traitor from the beginning. She won the favors of Arlong to be able to seize the treasure buried in Cocoyashi Village!'' He slaps his hand on the ground as he kept going ''That woman is a cold, heartless killer. She wont stop until she gets what she wants. She had fooled us this entire time!'' Luna's eyes got hardens to this words. Luffy, doesnt want to hear anymore then this, goes towards Johnny while yelling liar. He grabbed him by his collar and start to shake him violently that he even drop his hat ''Say one more word and you will regret it! There is no way Nami would kill Usopp. She is our friend!''

''Who are you calling friend, Luffy?'' they all turned to cold voice they heard. Nami was standing on the road. She was wearing different clothes, a green t-shirt that showed her shoulder...She was standing there with a long staff in her hand. Her arms was folded and was staring at them with a cold eyes and as if staring at strangers who bores her. ''Nami!'' Luffy said in a surprised voice.

Nami didnt answer for a moment and narrowed her eyes coldly ''What are you doing here?'' she asked with a bored tone in her voice. ''What are we doing here?'' Luffy asks with a confuse ''You're our friend! We came to get you of course!'' He says while he takes his hat from the ground and put it on his head again. ''What an idiot..'' Nami says while rolling her eyes.

''Nami?'' Luffy asks lowly trying to understand why is she acting like this ''Friends? Dont make me laugh. It was nothing but a stupid little cooperation'' she says with a cold tone that make her really different. ''You killed him!'' Johnny finally shouts while pointing a finger at Nami ''Big bro Usopp! You killed him!'' Nami glace at him briefly ''So what? You want to avenge him?''

''What?'' Johnny gasps, completly shocked by this. ''Let me tell you this. After the idiotic stunt that Zoro pulled, Arlong wants him and all his companions dead'' She says while looks at Zoro ''No matter how monstrously strong you may all be, you're no match at all for the real monster.'' She says while playing with her staff. Sanji, who didnt react until now, looks like he suddenly struck by lightning ''Her heartless face and words are so attractive!'' He waves his arms excitiedly ''Hi Nami! It's me, Sanji, do you remember me?! Lets set sail together!'' he had a blush on his face ''Shut up! Cant you see you're making things more complicated by butting in?!'' Zoro yells at him with annoyance ''Whats that? Dont you know that love is always hurricane?'' Sanji also says with annoyance but Zoro ignored him. While Sanji yells at him not to ignore him ''Where is Usopp?'' he asks to Nami.

She looks at Zoro for a moment ''At the bottom of the ocean'' She says with a smirk causing Zoro to lose his temper ''That's it! I've had enough of you!'' He yells while getting ready to attack her but Sanji stops him with a kick which Zoro dodged ''And I've had enough of you!''

''Does a swordsman harm ladies as well, Roronoa Zoro?'' Sanji says coolly while smoking. Zoro on the other hand ''The hell did you say? Dont butt in when you dont know anything!'' Says with an irritated tone ''Heh... Arent you quite irritable after your shameful loss'' Sanji says with a smirk makes Zoro more irritated ''What? Watch your mouth, romeo or your head will go fly.''

''I'd like to see you try, cripple'' Luna, who stays silent until now and watch everything with an emotionless face, turns to them ''Enough you two'' says with a cold tone. They stop and looks at her only to see she was looking at them with an angry face. Sanji immediately stops himself along with Zoro, who glance at Sanji but doesnt say anything. Luna turns to Nami and looks at her hand at first. Nami, seeing this gone a little uncomfortable but tries to mask it. When Luna look at her at the eye with a little kind smile, she falters a second. The two of them looks at each other for a minute in silence.

Nami knew Luna was know everything when she saw her eyes, that makes one feel like they are drowing deep in the ocean. Luna always knew there was something with her, they even talk about this a little, even though it wasnt an open talk. So she knew Luna already figured out everything. She might be an idiot sometimes and might be a crazy weirdo but she was also clever in the end. Nami didnt know what happened to Luna but she remembered telling her that she felt like looking at a mirror and while looking at her now, she too felt like looking at a mirror for a moment. ''You promised'' the words left Nami's mouth unknowingly while still looking at Luna's eyes. This was the first time Nami acknowledged that even in this situtation, she couldnt reject Luna like she did to the others. They didnt know anything unlike Luna.

Zoro frowns at this ''Promised?'' he asked lowly to himself even though Luffy and Sanji heard, it was also the question in their heads. They were watching the two of them to look at each other intensely but didnt understand the thing in their eyes at the moment. It was looking emotionless to them but there was also something that looked like only the two of them understand. Luna closed her eyes and sigh a little. ''Dont worry, I always keep my promises'' she said lowly while looking at Nami with a little smile. There was a sadness one could see though.

Nami was right. Luna promised to her that she wont meddle with her business or ask or say anything until Nami wants it. She already knew everything but even without knowing from her past life, It wasnt that hard to understand that her mother was also death after their little talk they had days ago and knowing her hatred against pirates, it was clear like sky. A little research about Arlong one could guess who did it and what happened to Nami.

Arlong is someone who hates humans, there was no way Nami would be in his crew like its nothing. She could see the chains around Nami. She felt bad a little though. She made that promise bacause she also knew everything will be fine in the end. If she didnt know this, she would never promised to something like that. She would even act before and changed everything. The only reasons for not doing this was because she knew and also she respected Nami's wish to handel this alone. She knew that asking for help is not weakness but it was something Nami had to come up with herself. She had to learn.

Nami turned her eyes from Luna and looks at the others with her cold eyes again ''I'd rather not have outsiders stick their noses in this islands affairs anymore'' she sarts ''I only stuck with you for the money and now that you dont even have cent, I couldnt care less about you'' she says with a smirk makes Luna also smirk while she shift her hip a little, making a clicking sound from her pouch that hanging from her leather belt. Nami's eyebrowns twitch at this a little, she didnt look at Luna again though ''Lucky for you, she never left her money out of her sight. So, since you're not completly broke, why dont you take your ship, find another navigator and go search for your little one piece or whatever!'' She points her staff at them ''Now get off of this island! You're an eyesore!''

Johnny and Yosaku growl at this, looking like they want to attack her. Nami sighs and her eyes was hidden with her hairs bangs as she say ''Farewell'' with a cold voice. Luffy was looking blank at Nami all the while but he was noticed something Nami's behavior ''Nami..'' he said softly and for a second later he closed his eyes and fell back on the ground. ''Big bro Luffy!'' Johnny yells in surprise. ''Sleepy'' Luffy says like he is not in this kind of situtation, makes Luna smile a little. ''Sleepy?'' Johnny asks with a disblief ''Right now? In the middle of the road?'' Yosaku also asks with a surprised tone. ''Well, I dont feel like leaving this island yet and I dont really care whats going on in this island either...and I'm sleeply'' he yawns ''So I'm sleeping''

Yosaku's jaw fells at this, unable to say something ''B-but...?'' Johnny also cant keep going with shock while Zoro slap his face, Sanji facepalms and Luna giggles. Nami on the other hand, lost her temper ''Fine! Do what the hell you want! You can die for all I care!'' she yells while shaking with rage and without looking at her back she turned and run away as fast as she could. Luna watched her gone and sigh again. She was going towards to tree to sit under it when Zoro ''What promise you two were talking?'' asked while looking at Luna. Others also curious, turned to her when she finally sit and lean her back to the tree. She looks up to them for a moment and turned her eyes to the sky while letting out a tired sigh

''I always knew there was something with Nami and it wasnt that hard to understand everything when I see her looking at Arlongs wanted poster before we go to Baratie and I know about Arlong enough to understand whats going on here'' She says nonchalantly, like talking about weather, which this only makes Zoro's eyebrowns twitch ''You knew from that long?! Why didnt you say anything?!'' makes Sanji to frown at him ''Hey! Dont yell at Luna'' he says causing Zoro to snap at him ''You shut up!'' Sanji's frowns get deepen with this but before he could say anything, Luna cuts them ''Because...'' starts harshly to shut them up, which she successes. They turns to her once again ''I promised to Nami that I wont meddle with her business or say anything as long as she doesnt want me to.'' She says while looking at them. She turns her head towards to sky again ''And it was Nami's to tell something about it, not mine'' she adds. She had a sad look that one could see though.

''Besides'' She suddenly turns to Zoro, like she remembered something. ''Didnt I told you before, that if you work up with everything like this, you will get old early?'' she asks, makes Zoro forget everything for a moment and remember her words back then ''That brings my bad memories'' he says with a twiching eyebrowns again and turns to Sanji who laughs at this ''Shut up, you curly eyebrown!'' with this Sanji also snaps at him ''What did you say, you marimo?!'' when they were about to start to fight again Johnny, who had enough ''You're all out of your minds! It's as that insane witch just said, brother Usopp's been killed and Arlong's out to get us!'' he yelled. ''Just what reason do you have for staying on this island any longer?! I believe in what Johnny said he saw!'' Yosaku also says ''Its been a short while but I'm afraid this is where we must apart. We have no desire to be hunted down and killed by Arlong!'' Johnny says makes Luna to raise an eyebrown ''Fine'' Zoro says with an emotionless face and Johnny and Yosaku goes with saying goodbyes.

''Well, dont worry'' Luna starts as she gets comfortable where she sits ''I dont think Nami killed Usopp. Whatever she says, she had no heart to do something like that'' Zoro looks at her for a moment then close his eyes and sigh ''Well, its not like we can go anywhere anyway'' he says while he glance at Luffy for a moment and he too goes to sit under tree. Sanji also moves to sit somewhere. ''Right'' Luna says with a yawn and goes to nap.

Luna wakes up with Luffy's yelling ''Usopp! Did Nami do this to you?!'' he was shaking poor Usopp with a shocked face.

''Uh no. That was actually because of him and I'' Sanji says with a big smile while pointing to Zoro ''You mean just you'' Zoro also says with a bored tone ''Ah! Luffy you're here now?'' Usopp yells finally coming back to the world. ''Yeah'' Luffy says while letting Usopp go with a relief and big smile ''I've decided to come along too. Nice to meet you'' Sanji butts in happily. While Usopp says that he will kill Sanji, Luna suddenly hugs Usopp ''Usopp! I knew you were alive!'' She says with a happy voice while laughing. ''Luna! You're here too!'' Usopp also says happily too. ''Of course'' she says while looking at Zoro with a smirk causing him to ''Shut up!'' yell with an another twiching eyebrown ''I didnt say anything though'' she answers with a pout ''Your face said enough'' Zoro says but his voice was low against Sanji's ''Ah! You lucky bastard!'' He says with an anger towards Usopp, then with a blushing face ''Oh! Luna-chan! I too come back from death just now'' he opens his arms wide ''Dont you hug me too?!'' Luna looks at Sanji with a blank face ''Sanji...We already have a liar on our crew. We dont need more'' she says makes Usopp to get out from her hug ''Hey!'' she laughs and pats Usopp's head, not moved from his anger.

''So.. We heard you killed by Nami. Care to explain?'' Zoro asks casually causing Usopp to blink as if he just remembered whats going on. ''That Johnny..'' Luffy says with a frown ''I knew he was lying'' Usopp, hearing this ''Well, its not completley lie though.'' he made a thoughtful face ''In a way, it is the truth. But I'm alive and she actually saved my life'' makes everyone blinks at him with confusion. Luna sigh ''Tell everything from start, we dont understand.'' while others nod at this, she turns to Zoro ''You too tell what happened. What was the thing about that Nami saying the stund you pulled and Arlong wants you dead?'' she asks. She might had a good memory and all but there was no way she would remember everything after years later like this.

With this, Usopp and Zoro starts to tell them everything happened while they were here. ''So thats it'' Usopp says with a tired sigh after telling them everything. ''Thats how Nami pretended to kill me and made sure I escaped from Arlong. If you ask me, there must be some reason why she ended up joining the Arlong Pirates!'' Zoro looks at Luna after hearing this but Luna avert her gaze makes Zoro sigh ''So what? Are we going to destroy Arlong Park?'' Luna hums a little ''Well since they already after us...'' she says slowly with a thoughtful face but Usopp doesnt agree with them ''Wait a minute you two! We should find out whats going on with Nami first!'' he says loudly while waving his arms around.

''It's useless. No matter what you do, you wont be able to change Arlong's rule'' They all turns to new voice they heard and see a young woman with a light purple hair and a lot of tattoos, giving them a stern look. ''Nojiko!'' Usopp says in surprise makes Luna also remember that this is Nami's big sister. ''Who is she?'' Luffy asks to Usopp which he answers without looking away from Nojiko ''Nami's big sister'' Sanji blushes at this ''What? Nami's big sister? No wonder she's so beautiful then!'' he says with a heart eye. Zoro on the other hand asks ''What do you mean useless?'' with a confuse. Nojiko places her hands to her hips ''Dont involve yourselves with this village any further. I will tell you about Nami's past and all, so I want you to just leave quietly.'' she says bluntly.

''I'm fine. I'm not really interested in her past'' Luffy says at the same time with Luna, who says ''I already know enough. So, I dont feel like to listen'' They blink at each other while Zoro facepalms. He knew that they had moments like this sometimes but... Usopp on the other hand ''You already know?!'' asks with a shock. ''I know enough'' she says as if its nothing and turns around as she starts to walk. Luffy also turns and walks besides Luna while saying ''Then we're going to take a walk'' Usopp understands Luna since she knows but ''Take a walk? You're not going to listen?!'' he asks after Luffy. ''No, I'm cool'' Luffy says as they walked away.

x

It was uncomfortable, if one were to ask how Luna feels at the moment. They were only walking about five minutes now in silence and she could see from corner of her eye, Luffy was glaring at her every now and then. And so, after this five uncomfortable minutes later, Luna having enough, sighs as she looks at to Luffy ''What?'' she asks tiredly. Luffy also finally looks at her without averting his gaze ''So you knew?'' he asks. Luna looks confused for a moment then makes an understanding face ''Right... You were sleeping when I said that..'' She says and makes another sigh ''I know enough about her and that was the promise I made to Nami, that I wont meddle or ask anything'' she says and turns to look forward, making clear thats all she is going to say.

Luffy however was confused ''So, she told you?'' He wasnt interested in Nami's past like he said before but a little surprised she told Luna about anything after seeing everything happen just before. Luna glance at him briefly at this ''No. I figured myself'' She knew Luffy doesnt know anything but can feel something was wrong with Nami when he saw her earlier. ''hmm'' Luffy hums as he too turn towards and doesnt say anything more than this.

They walked about close to ten minutes now. This time was more peaceful as Luna start to humming a song quietly at some point and Luffy listen to her without saying anything. They even keep going like this when they walk pass the three fishman. Luna didnt stop her humming and Luffy didnt even bath an eye towards them as he keep going to listen her. He only looked at them briefly when he saw them the first time, which he was looking forward and it was impossible to see them.

''Hey, you two! Wait!'' Luffy and Luna stopped and turned their back ''hm?'' both was looking so uninterested that three fishman taken aback with this. ''I dont think I've ever seen you on this island before. Who are you? What are you doing on this island?'' asked octopus fishman. It was looking familiar to Luna but she didnt mind right now. Luffy and Luna blink at him ''Why? What does it matter to you?'' Luffy asked ''Well, It's just.. we dont usualy have many visitors'' octopus said. He was looking like he lost in the words. Luna raised an eyebrown at this. He didnt looked that dangareous. Who was this octopus? ''Oh! I'm Luffy and she is Luna. We're just passing through'' Luffy said as he took Luna's hand and pulling a little, like saying lets go ''What? Passing through?'' he repeat in surprise as Luffy and Luna turn their back and keep walking. Octopus fishman, seeing that they are leaving pull out six handkerchiefs with each of his hands and waved ''Well, have a nice time!'' he yelled with a smile. Other two was not the same though. ''Hey! Where are you going?!'' one of the other fishman yelled. ''Dont know'' Luffy aswered without looking back as they keep walking while three fishman talked with each other.

''They seems like fun to have around'' Hachi said while smiling towards the strawhat boy and the song humming girl ''Sure but who the hell are they?'' one of the other with big lips asked as the ray fishman glared the two of them ''Both of them walk right pass us and werent even flinch... never happened before'' he said.

Luffy glanced at Luna for a moment and pout a little when he turn his eyes to straight ahead. She stoped humming after their talk with them. After walking a little more later both of them suddenly stopped while looking ahead. Luna fixed her eyes on the marines. She was sure those were the ones Arlong had a deal. The two of them stopped there in silence as they passed them. She heard that they were talking about Nami and she narrowed her eyes. She didnt remember what happened with the marines but she had a bad feeling. ''Did you see that?'' she came back to the world with Luffy's voice. ''yeah..'' Luna said slowly as she still stare where they had gone ''That pinwheel was so cool, right?! I wonder why does that man have that on his head..'' Luffy said with a smile causing Luna to blink. ''Right...'' She looked the road again and let go of Luffy's hand. ''I'm gonna go to look at something'' She said to him as she start to walk to the same direction as the marines ''Eh? Where?'' Luffy asked with a confuse. He was about to follow her but ''Dont worry! I will come back shortly.'' Luna waved her hand and gone. Luffy look after her with an another pout but since she said she will come back he gone to sit under the nearby tree to wait for her.

Luna was watching whats going on from the shadowed place she hide. Those damn corrupted marines. Its not like she saw something like this for the first time and she wouldnt even care normally but this was her friend in this situtation. She clenched her fist. She promised but this wasnt count, right? Just the marines hold up their guns, Luna stopped to think and moved in front of Nojiko.

Everyone was shocked as a girl come out from nowhere and deflect the bullets the marines shoot with her right bone hand. ''Oh my... Are the marines start to shot at inocent people at their home now?'' She said with an emontionless face and monotone voice. ''Luna?!'' Nami yelled in shock. Everything was going on so fast for her that she couldnt made her mind. Luna turned towards Nojiko and look at her ''Sorry. Seems like I couldnt made in time.'' Luna narrowed her eyes a bit. She still had a emotionless face and monotone voice but her eyes were enough to say that she was angry. She was looking at Nojiko's bleeding arm. 'I should stop thinking sooner' was Luna's thoughts

Nojiko, who was in shock, came to the real world with white haired girls voice and looked at the place the girls looking. ''Its just a scratch.'' She said while looking at her arm that just a little bit bleeding. ''Thanks'' she said as she look up to the girl which she was looking angry. ''You should still show it to the doctor. It could caught infection'' Luna said and turned to Nami ''Why dont you take your sister and go to see a doctor'' Luna says as she look at Nami with a little smile. Nami's mind was still full of anger towards Arlong that she was still trying to progress what was going on. ''Who the hell are you?!'' Four of them turned to the voice. It was the marine captain Nezumi, apparently. Luna turned to look at Nami, Nojiko and the man who heard his name is Genzo ''Go on you three. Seems like I had a date here'' She said with a chuckle, one chould say it was a dark one though.

Genzo also came out from the shock and helped Nokijo to get up ''Thank you'' he said to the girl which she smiled at him like saying its nothing with waving her hand ''Nami! come on!'' he said to Nami. Nami was still looking at Luna which caused her to sigh ''Its not like I broke my promise, okay? I just dont like this types'' Luna said as she looked at to Nezumi while saying last part. It was clearly a lie, she wouldnt even care about those types but Nami was looking angry. It was towards Arlong but she didnt want to be targeted from her anger right now. Nami looked at Luna last time and start to run after Nojiko and Genzo. She was thankful to Luna but right now wasnt the time. She also knew Luna can take care of herself against those marines so, she didnt even looked at her back as she kept repeating Arlong's name in her mind with hatred.

''I said who are you?! Dont ignore me!'' yelled Nezumi. Luna sigh at him while thinking 'he looks like a rat... what a fitting name.' She didnt want to get into trouble with the marines right now. So she smiled as the most inocent way she can against this man. ''I'm just a stranger who's passing through'' she said as she slowly get close to them. They all had blushing face seeing the smiling Luna. She looked like an angel for a moment that they even forget this girl was the girl who deflect their bullets. ''A stranger who's passing through?'' Nezumi repeat while looking at her like a pervent. Before they can come back to the world, Luna moved fast and hit them back of their neck, starting with Nezumi. ''Sleep for a while you guys, would you?'' She said as she hit the last marine too.

She didnt like to do things like this but she didnt had much choice. If she wasnt wrong, this guy was the one who responsible for Luffy's bounty, so she couldnt kill him and killing his men wasnt the choice either since it would draw attention. She cant effort to be known this soon they were still in the east blue and this guy was looking like a revengeful one. Her mind gone to Buggy for a moment with this but she shake it right away and start to walk towards to where she left Luffy.

''Why are you pouting?'' Luffy turned his head to the voice. ''Luna!'' She look at his smiling face a moment and start to walk to sit besides him. ''Where were you?'' he asked while she was sitting, looking curious. 'he ignored my question...' Luna thought. ''looking around a little...'' she answered him while looking at the people. They were probably heard Arlong send marines, so they were preparing to fight. ''hmm'' she hums lowly as she thinks that they really are loves Nami. They knew they would die but still trying to give time to Nami for her escape. It wouldnt work though and they would die for nothing. Their enemy was fishmen, catching Nami before flee wasnt that hard. When Luna felt familiar presences she turned to look behind and saw Zoro, Usopp and Sanji was coming. Three of them sit a litte away from them and start to watch whats going on too.

Almost entire village was out and holding weapons, mostly things like clubs and spears. There wasnt even a gun... They were all gathered around and Genzo was cheering them with his speech. Just as they start to move Nami came and tried to stop them. Not that it work though. As the villagers gone Nami fell on her knees and was shaking as she glare at the mark on her shoulder with tearful eye while digging her nails into it, like she wants to rip it off.

As she start to stab the mark on her shoulder while saying Arlong's name Luffy get up from where he sit and walk towards to Nami while Luna was watching the entire thing with emptiness. As Luffy stoped Nami and put his hat on her head after Nami asked help ''Lets go'' Luffy ordered. ''Right!'' they said as Luna, Zoro, Usopp and Sanji get up and stat to walk.

Luffy pulled his fist back and punch the door with such force that the door blown away. As the dust clear out they could see the surprised face of fishmen. Luna's eyes traveled on the Shark fishman instantly and fixed on the mark that shaped of sun on the left side of his chest. In her eyes, he didnt deserved to carry that mark. Even thought Fisher Tiger didnt like humans, he didnt kill them and he was so against to slavery since he was one of them that he even saved the humans he hated so much. How dare Arlong use Nami like that while carrying that mark. As much as Nami wanted to rip off Along marks on her, Luna wanted to rip that sun mark off on Arlong. ''What the?'' Arlong said with a surprise. ''Who's the one called Arlong?'' Luffy asked while holding up his fist.

Getting over his shock Arlong lean back on his chair ''Arlong?'' he repeat ''That would be my name..'' Arlong said as Luffy walk towards to them''I'm Lufy'' he said with an empty look as he walk without fear and not even looking anyone else but Arlong. ''Luffy? And what the hell are you?''

''A pirate'' He said as Hachi, who was next to Arlong, point to him with a surprise ''Hey! I remember him! He is the guy who's like to go on walks with that girl over there who's humming songs!'' with that most of them turned towards Luna which she waved her hand to him ''Oh! And you're the guy who likes to ask questions to the strangers'' she said with a smile causing Hachi to also smile but before he too wave his hand he gone back to his serious attitude once more as Arlong glared at him while calling his name ''Hachi'' This also made Luna to remember. 'So he was Hachi' she thought. No wonder she didnt felt danger from him.

''Hold it right there! Where do you think you're going?'' one of the fishman says as he and one other attempt to stop Luffy ''We cant have you go through without talking to us first.'' other says. They had a evil smirks as they apporach Luffy but he just bang their heads together and knock them out as he told them move and keep going to walk towards Arlong.

''What does a pirate wants with me?'' Arlong asked darkly as Luffy stop in front of him and glare at him momently and the answer he gave was a fruious punch that throw Arlong and causing him to smash to the wall. As his men yell his name with a shock Arlong looked at to Luffy from where he was landed with a dark face ''Just what the hell...'' he said lowly ''Dont you dare make my navigator cry!'' Luffy said with a face full of fury. With this all the fishman start to run towards Luffy as they yell how dare you but they stopped as Zoro and Sanji move forward and attacked them too. Usopp was walking besides Luna as they go towards Luffy, Zoro and Sanji. Luffy was saying ''Dont worry. I'm not gonna lose!'' to Sanji as they finally came and Sanji was yelling at him that he didnt worry about him but he only wanted to Luffy shouldnt take all the fun. Well, Usopp didnt mind that thoguh.

Hachi, start to yell as soon as he saw Zoro, saying that he tricked him. From what Zoro told them it wasnt actually his fault though. To Luna, both of them was an idiot for what happened. After seeing Usopp, Hachi yelled again asking how he is alive and causing the ray fishman, who name is Kuroobi, say that Nami was a traitor afterall with a dark face making Luna's eyes to narrow at him. ''Pirates, huh... So that's how you're all related.'' Arlong starts to say ''So your goal from the very beginning was only to get Nami, it that it?'' He said and start to laugh ''Shahaha! Just what could 5 measly humans do?!'' Hachi also laugh with him and walk confidently ''You idiots! As if Arlong would fight the likes of you! I'll turn you all into fish food'' he said as he blew his long mouth like a trompet ''Come out, Mohmoo!''

After a moment later, a poor, beaten up sea cow appered in front of them. As Mohmoo lean forward to see what Hachi wanted, it suddenly stop after seeing Luffy and Sanji.''Oh, him?'' Luffy asked as he folded his arms ''So he is one of them, huh'' Sanji said while puffing his cigarette coolly. Mohmoo turned his back with a teary eye and was about to leave even thought Hachi was yelling to come back at it. But it stopped with Arlong's order and turn back to attack them. While everyone prepareing to attack it Luffy ''Leave it to me! They're jut a bunch of time wasters!'' he said as he stuck his feet in the ground. Sanji and Zoro was trying to figure out what Luffy was doing as he start to twist his chest around his body several times and then streched out to grab Mohmoo's horns.

As the villagers and the fishmen freak out and in state of shock to see Luffy devil fruit Usopp start to screaming and run as Luna, Zoro and Sanji also start to go away from Luffy and Luffy start to pick up Mohmoo and spin him around while yelling ''Gomu Gomu no Pinwheel!'' causing to Luna sweatdrop at this. 'Whats so cool about pinwheel?' she thought as she watch that everything with in its reach got destroyed. When he was finished his spining the only one who left was Arlong, Hachi and two other fishman. While Luffy was throwing the sea cow far away, rest of Arlongs crew were laying out around them with only a couple of them awake but they were groaning in pain too.

As Luffy caught his breath ''I didnt come here to fight these small fries! The one I want to beat up, is you!'' Luffy yelled as he point to Arlong, who looks very angry even though he was smiling ''How excellent. I was thinking of killing you myself jus now as well'' he said but not like anyone paying attention to him at the moment. Sanji was kicking Luffys head ''That was way too dangerous!'' and Usopp was also yelling ''Are you trying to kill us too?!'' Zoro was smirking though ''Looks like the main force is out to meet us'' he was saying while holding his pure white katana. Luna was looking blank to the way the sea cow go fly. She was still thinking why pinwheel...

As the villagers still living their shock, Hachi was looking angry ''How dare you hurt my brothers?!'' as he said. Kuroobi ''Arlong, please sit right there'' he said. He was looking so confident. ''If we let you fight when you're that enraged, chu, all the arlong park will end up destroyed!'' said the fishman with a long lips, who's name is Choo. Before anyone can say anything Hachi said ''Take this!'' while hugging him self and looking ground. Zoro was saying that octopus is trying to do something and Sanji was in his own world and talking about some octopus dish. ''At least think before do something'' Luna says as she sigh and Luffy was looking at her helplessly ''Should we cut your feet now?'' she asked with an evil smirk while looking at his feet and holding her katana. ''Eh?'' Luffy asked as he start to sweat while looking at her evil smirk ''I'm sure we can get them out wito-''

''Takohachi black'' Luffy's words cut with Hachi attacking them. ''Eww! Thats disgusting!'' Luna said as she left Luffy and dodge the ink Hachi throw. Zoro and Sanji also dadged, leaving Luffy. ''Luffy, you dumbass! Why didnt you dodge that?!'' Zoro yelled as he saw Luffy was yelling that he cant see. Hachi then pick up a large piece from the destroyed bulding and turned to Luffy. ''Luffy! Watch out! Dodge it!'' Usopp yelled at Luffy in panic. 'Its not like it can harm Luffy though' Luna thought, while Luffy was saying he cant move since he stuck and make others understand the situation.

When Hachi throw the broken stone on top of Luffy, Sanji step in and destroy it with a single kick while saying that he had chosen to follow a dumbass for a captain. Zoro sighs at this while agreeing him and Usopp was amazed by Sanji's power. Luffy was cheering him though... ''But its still a hundred times better than being in a pirate crew that would harm a lady''

''Lady?'' Kuroobi asks like he heard a weird joke ''Hah! You go into your certain death for one little traitor bitch? Why do you even bother when you already have good one already?'' he says as he looked at Luna, who had a dark aura around her. ''A traitor bitch?'' she asked with a cold voice and turned her gaze to him slowly ''If you ever talk about Nami like this, I will cut your tongue and feed it to you'' she said darkly while glaring at him with a murderous gaze ''I would be happily cooked it first before you feed it, Luna-chan'' Sanji said with an evil smirk too as he look at Kuroobi then his look turn an angry one ''If you insult Nami again, I promise you will be a fish steak from a fishman, got it?'' he said as he lit an another cigarette. Kuroobi, who didnt even budge gone to his talking with confidence and ended up with Sanji and him attacked each other all the while Usopp trying to pull out Luffy.

When Hachi pick up more stones and was about to go after them, Zoro also stopped him and since Hachi was angry to Zoro they also start to fight too and with Usopp letting Luffy go while cheering Zoro, he accidentally hit Choo and he start to follow running Usopp. This all thing was made Luna to pout. Should she go and attack Arlong since there is no one left? She didnt want to take Luffys enemy but its not like he can fight right now... While Luna was thinking those Arlong was already get up and stopped Luffys punch ''Do you seriously think you can win against us?'' Arlong asked while holding Luffy's punch and glaring at him with a smile making Luna think again that why bad guys was always this overconfident...As Arlong throw Luffy to the sea, Luna start to streach her body a little and walk towards there.

Arlong was laughing ''Now lets see who's going to die first...You or that rubber kid?'' he said while laughing more loudly as Luna also pick up her speed and start to run towards there to jump into the sea. ''Hey! Where do you think you're going!'' Kuroobi yelled as he saw Luna and start to made a move towards her but stopped by Sanji's kick ''Dont you even dare to think of laying a finger on her!'' Sanji yelled at Kuroobi while kicking him Zoro also yelled ''Luna!''

''You two take care of these!'' she yelled as she jumped into the sea. Except Arlong, there was only two anyway and they were already fighting so she can at least took Luffy out of the sea sooner. After Luna jump into the sea Arlong looked around and yelled at his crew who still had conscious. ''Get up and go after her.'' He look at their beaten form. It wasnt that much ''Its still one little girl and underwater is our territory'' He said with a laugh, clearly enjoying his little game. As four fishman start to get up Sanji turns towards to sea, when he was getting ready to jump as well ''Dont act rashly! Going into the sea is exactly what these guys want!'' Zoro says as he stopped Sanji. He throws a glance to four fishmen, who about to jump into the sea ''They are just weaklings, she can handel with them. We have to take care of those..'' He said as he looked at the three fishmen in front of them, which they were laughing. Sanji frowns at this while smoking. ''Well I just have to beat this guy first fastly then jump in then.'' he says

Luna on the other hand, was already reach to Luffy and her right fist was pulled back, like gathering power, and was about to punch the rock when she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up to see what and saw Luffy pointing her back with a worry clear in his eyes, which he was worried. Luna look at her back and saw four fishman was coming towards her. She mentally sigh at this while thinking 'great' she focused too much on the rock that she let her guard down... They werent that fast, must be because they were hurt but they were still coming towads them faster then a normal human. She glance at Luffy for a moment, he was holding tightly his mouth and his nose. She didnt had much time. She turn her back against him as she start to unsheltered her katana and with a push she swim towards them too. 'Second Circle: Kokujou Jigoku' she focused and calm herself as she start to cut four fishmen.

Luffy watched Luna to cut fishmen with a frown. She was looking calm again but it wasnt why he was frowning. There were cuts on their body, like their arms and legs and chest but her cuts werent deep or big and Luna was already start to sheltered her katana slowly. Just the four fishmen was turned and about to attack Luna again Luffy noticed that, there was some black threads coming from cuts and following their body parts like veins and the moment Luna completely sheltered her katana, black threads suddenly turned into cuts and start to bleed all the while surprising Luffy. He thought for a moment if this was one of the hells she talk about before.

Normally, only Zoro knew about her hells and what they do but Luffy was also awake when Luna told Zoro, so Luffy also listened and he also heard the talk between Luna and Mihawk.

Luna, who was watching her enemy was mentally pouting at the moment. This was only the second hell and it was still not enough to her liking. The black threads were still few and couldnt go too far away from cuts, she still couldnt cover their body completely and the cuts they made were still not deep enough to cut them limb by limb or to kill like how it supposed to be. They were enough to make them unconscious with the sudden blood lost but... 'Well, I just have get better' she thought as she moved towards to rock once again and pulled her right fist before punch it.

She also saw Sanji and Kuroobi also jump into the sea and fighting before she turn to Luffy. It was very disappointing to Sanji if one were to ask. He jumped into the sea to help Luna but he saw she took care of herself and he was stuck with that fishman to fight underwater now. Not that anyone cared his disappointment thoguh nor that anyone even knew...

As the rock start to break into pieces she look up to Luffy who was also looking at her and go towards him. He couldnt hold much longer so she hugged him from his waist as she start to swim to surface, all the while living a weird dejavu. When the two of them were finally out of the sea, Luna took a deep breath while Luffy start to cough a little water with tiredness. Luna saw Nojiko and Genzo waiting for them at the edge and start to swim towards them. They helped Luna to pull Luffy out from the sea and made him lay for a moment since he was still coughing. Luna also pull herself and sit besides him while taking deep breaths. She wasnt under the water much but she wasnt used to fight underwater, specially with her katana while using her hells.

She look around a little. She saw four body was floating on the sea with blood but she didnt care as she keep looking around. She saw Zoro holding Arlong and Sanji kicking Kuroobi for the last time. ''Thanks'' she said to Nojiko and Genzo with a little smile. ''I should be saying that'' Nojiko said also smiling and Genzo was nodding, making Luna confused face ''For the thing earlier with the marines'' Nojiko add, making Luna finally understand what she's talking about. Luna blinked ''You already thanked me for that'' she said and made a little smile as she spot Nami, standing with the rest of the villagers ''Its not like I chould sit and watch Nami's sister got shot in front of me. '' she said and turn to Nojiko ''So, you dont need to'' she add with a smile. ''Marines? Shot?'' Luffy asked as he start to get up from laying to sitting, finally getting back his strength.

Luna looked him ''Its nothing.'' she said while waving her hand but its not like Luffy was a complete idiot. He understand from what they said, that the marines try to shot Nami's sister and Luna helped her. He wondered when this happened. 'Was it the time she left?' he thought. Luna glance towards Arlong when Luffy was in his own world ''If you're fine now go before that idiot shark ruin my handiwork'' she said with a narrowed eyes. Arlong was now start to hold up Zoro from his neck. Zoro's scar was already bad and he was clearly pushing as he fight all the while now so more than this was bad.

Luffy also looked where Luna was looking and saw it too. He laugh a little as he get up. She was always getting angry when someone ruined her bandage or something while saying that her handiwork gone for nothing. He strech his arms and rocketed himself to the air while yelling ''Zoro!'' and throw him away, making Luna's eyebrowns twich at this while at the same time making her also sweatdrop. She just said she doesnt want her handiwork gone ruin and he throw him... Oh well, she was sure he was going to be fine. She too also get up as she hoped that he at least landed to the sea. She walk towards to the blown away door and see Nami. ''Luna!'' Nami said ''Hey!'' Luna said with a smile while waving her hand and walk pass them making Nami, Usopp and Sanji frown ''Where are you going?'' Nami asked. Luna turned to her with a serious face like she is going to say a very important thing making them gulp for a moment. Then she suddenly smiled big ''To find Zoro and check if he is still alive!'' she said as she start to walk and waved her hand without looking at her back making everyone sweatdrop a moment but they all turn back to watch Luffy and Arlong.

Its not like there was anything she can do there now, except watching and getting angry Luffy's careless fighting style, so she decided that she would at least go and look for Zoro. She didnt remember Zoro's condition at all so she hoped he is fine. She knew he didnt die though. She could hear the voices as she walk towards to other side of Arlong park. She stopped when she heard what Luffy was saying.

''Of course I dont know how to fight with swords you dumbass!'' Luffy was yelling so she could hear more clearly ''I dont know a thing about navigation either. I cant cook! I cant lie either and I'm not that smart! I'm confident that I wouldnt be able to survive if other people arent there to help me!''After that Luffy answered Arlong that he can beat him and she could hear Zoro's voice that murmuring ''I'll kill you if you lose'' she turned towards him and start to walk again.

Zoro was already noticed Luna when she suddenly stopped. ''What was that face?'' he asked as he saw Luna start to walk again. ''What are you talking about?'' Luna asked with confuse. ''You had a weird face when you were listening what Luffy said'' making Luna to understand. ''Oh that..? I was thinking complicating world problems'' she said with a sigh as she get closer, making Zoro confuse this time ''What?'' he asked. ''You know.. Its just, actually everything that easy. Not just humans but every kind in the world, every person is incomplete. We all need each other in the end and yet...'' she stopped herself and looks at Zoro as she start to sit besides him. He was looking at her intensely until now but ''You look bad.'' she said with a deadpan face and voice causing Zoro's seriousness and intenseness to fly away instantly.

His eyebrowns was twiching ''Thanks'' he says sarcastically makes Luna laugh as she look at the scar. There was also blood coming from his mouth and the bandages were also bloody. She sighs a little ''You really gonna need a good rest after this.'' She says. She didnt had much she could do except trying to stop bleeding for a while now. His stitch probably needs to done again and he needs new bandages to... ''I'm already sleepy anyway'' He said as he closed his eyes makes Luna's eyebrowns twich this time. She didnt mean this way of rest... she sighs again as she lean her back against to wall and watch the sea while listening the voices of Luffy and Arlong made.

Arlong was yelling ''How dare an inferior human do this to me, a fishman?!'' she could also heard that Nami was yelling ''Its Kiribachi'' after a little more crushing voice everthing gone to silence. ''Hey! Zoro'' she said as she looked at him. He open one eye ''huh?'' he asked tiredly ''Get up. Fight is about to over'' she said as she get up and hold her hand for him. As he took her hand and start to get up, he turned his head to Luna suddenly that caused her to raise an eyebrown ''What?'' she asked ''You have to tell me about how do you know Hawk-eye'' he said as they start to walk. Luna sweatdrop at this a little 'Is this even what he should think right now?!' she thought with sigh. ''Like I said, It was about Naraka'' he was glaring at her after this for good a minute ''Fine! I'm gonna tell you after all this over'' she said with an annoyance making Zoro to smirk.

As they got close to rest of them both see the building collapsed so they fasten their walk. Everyone was staring with a distraught expressions on their faces. They were waiting to see who won and suddenly the top of the rubbles moved and Luffy burst out and was standing on top of the remains while eeryone was staring at him in silence. Luffy took a deep breath ''Nami!'' as he yelled. ''Nami, You''ll always be our friend!'' he yelled again causing Nami to cry with a nod ''yeah'' saying lowly as everyone start to scream in joy. They were all cheering and crying for their nightmare is finally over now.

Marines also came but Zoro and Nami took care of them while Luna waving her hand towards them with a smile while they were yelling and running...

''Ouughh''

''You dumbass!'' the doctor snap at Zoro while stitching him again ''How could you go and fight in this state?! Seriously, pirates this days..'' he kept going while murmuring idiots. ''Thats why I always say too but they call me evil for that'' Luna sighs with disappointment ''Because you're evil when it comes t-ouchh'' He cut in half with pain, makes Luna smirk. After the fight, while villagers were all so full of joy they came to the doctor. Johnny and Yosaku was sleeping and Luna was bandaging Luffy while he was sitting on the chair next to Zoro's bed. ''So you're the doctor?'' doctor asks to Luna ''Eh? No, I'm not a doctor'' She says with confusion. How come he thought she was a doctor?

''You're not? Those stitchs were good, like a doctor made them.'' he says with a little surprise causing Luna to blink ''Oh, no. I just know how to deal with scars and all but I cant deal with a disease or something. We still need a doctor'' She sighs but smiles a little as she thought about Chopper. ''Doctor? Why do we need a doctor when you're here?'' Luffy asks while Luna is about to finish to bandage his arm ''Like I said, I cant deal with a disease. Even if I know what it is I might not know how to heal it. We're going to need a doctor in the end'' she explains with patience to Luffy. ''Hmm. A dochtor huh? But we need a musician first'' he says makes Luna sigh ''Why?'' Zoro asks from his bed ''Because, pirates gotta sing, you know'' Luffy answers him very serious as Luna finishes and gets up ''Thanks'' Luffy says with a big smile ''Sure'' Luna aslo answers with a smile too as she start to walk out from the room.

''Hm? Where are you going?'' Luffy asks as he saw Luna was going ''Take a walk a little'' she says and waves her hand. Its not like she would stay in a little room all the time. They were there for a while now and the smell of medicine was suffocating so she wanted to take a little walk before night fell.

x

'Hm? When did I walk this much?' She looked at towards and saw Nami sitting in front some grave and looking at the sea. 'must be her mothers grave' she thought as she walk towards her and stopped just besides her as she also look at the sea ''Do you want me to sing?'' she asked causing Nami to choke in shock ''Luna?!'' She look up from where she was sitting ''You scared the hell out of me, idiot!'' Luna laughs at Nami lightly ''Sorry'' says lowly, not really meaning though. ''Sing?'' Nami asks as she get out from her shock. Luna looks at the sea again with a little smile on her face. Her eyes was looking far away. ''Yeah...You see there is this song in anc-'' she stops a moment ''in very old language that my mother thought me. A song for keep souls in peace'' she says as she keeps looking far away.

Nami looks at Luna in surprise for a minute then smiles softly ''If you want'' she says as she also turns to the sea. As she start to sing (Tenkuu Ni Mau Tori Yo) Nami look at to Luna in surprise. She heard once or twice Luna's humming quietly but never heard her sing before. Even thought she didnt understand the words she said, she felt so light as she listened. When Luna finished her song and kept looking to the sea Nami was wiping the one tear that fell from her eye. After almost a minute silence later ''Luna, why did you became a pirate?'' she asked, not looking at her. Luna however look at Nami with confuse ''What?'' she asked causing Nami to sigh a little

''I always wondered. You're strong, beautiful, clever and even had a beautiful voice like this. Why pirate with everything you could be?'' she asked. She always wondered this. Specially after what happened today... Luna keep look at her ''Why are you asking me this while you also thinking becoming a pirate?'' she asked with tilted head causing Nami to snap at her ''Just answer!'' Of course she would understand, she pout a little at this.

Luna turned to the sea again with a sigh ''I also have a dream you know.'' She said ''It's a shared dream, a promise I made with my twin'' she keeps makes Nami to turn to her. She didnt know she had a twin. After seeing her sad eyes Nami's eyes slide her tattoo with three letters while she was thinking her own tattoo... ''I know a lot of things about the world but most of them things I heard, read or saw with a shadow on my eye. I wanted to see myself. To see the world with my own eyes, freely... that's our dream'' She says with a little smile while looking far away again ''But, like I said its a promise and a shared dream. I also had my own dream. A dream that I forget a very, very long time ago...'' Nami was still looking at Luna, waiting for her to say. Luna suddenly smiled making Nami taken aback with this. It was a smile that Nami had never saw on her face before. Her eyes were burning with passion and desire ''I wanted to see the end!'' Luna says with her big D smile.

Nami blinks at this, lost in the words a moment ''End?'' she asks. ''End of the world'' Luna says with desire making Nami's eyes gone wide ''End, like getting destroyed or end, like you know the last island, end of the sea or something?'' she asks in shock. If its the first one she would be sure its not just she is crazy but insane. Luna laugh at this. Either were not that wrong actually but ''No!'' She says while laughing, makes Nami to relax ''End like the tale. I wanted to see how the world is going to end up when everything is said and done and when the truth come out.'' Luna says with the same burning eyes.

Right... This was her first dream. A dream she had the moment she understand she is in the One Piece world. She had this dream since she was born and only got stronger when she learned more and more. But she was gave up long time ago, thinking its imposibble to see in the end. She was even forget about it, a dream that thrown away. ''I was forget about it but, I start to remember when I saw all of you'' She laughs again

Nami on the other hand was in big confusion. She didnt understand what Luna was saying. What did she mean how the world is going to end up? What truth? ''What are you talking about?'' so she asked. Luna look at her a moment with a big smile and pat Nami's head ''I'm sure you will understand one day, Nami'' Luna laugh as she start to go towards village, sunset was close. ''I'm not a child!'' Nami yelled after her while touching where Luna pat. Luna just laugh as she keep walking though. Makes Nami pout a second but she still smiled big and turned towards to sea once again.

''Luffy?! What are you doing here?'' Luna asked in surprise. She was cursing in her head that she let her guard down too easily in these days. Luffy, was sitting under some tree cross-legged while leaning his back and his hands were back on his head

He was gone after Luna and wanted to walk with her when he saw that she left. Of course, Luna was already gone and Luffy was lost when he was looking for her. After the stubborn search he had done for Luna, he heard her voice and go towards there. She was singing, standing besides Nami and some grave. He didnt want to interrupt so he gone to sit under some tree a little far away and listen to her even though he didnt understand the words. He also didnt move from there when Luna telling her dream to Nami since he also already knew. He apparently didnt know everything though... Even he was taken aback when he saw Luna's eyes.

''I was looking for you and then heard you sing.'' Luffy answers blankly. He was still thinking Luna's burning eyes at that moment. Luna blinks at this ''So... You decided to sit here a listen everything?'' she asks. Luffy looks up to her with a little confusion ''Whats wrong? I already knew'' he says with a very serious face and voice. ''Nothing'' Luna sighs. It didnt matter if he heard or some other of her friends would heard actually. She already decided that she wouldnt hide things from them when she join the crew. ''Why were you looking for me?'' she suddenly asks, remembering what he said before. Luffy blinks as he start to get up too ''I was going to come with you but you were already gone'' he says with a little pout. Luna laugh at this ''You should just said so! Come on lets go.'' she said as she start to walk ''Villagers will throw a big party. There will be a lot of food!'' she says with a big smile causing Luffy to smile big too as he run towards her and put his arm around her shoulder ''We can eat a lot of meat!'' he says Luna also ''I wonder what kind of sweats and desserts are there going to be!'' says with a smile as they walk.

It has been four days now since Luffy defeated Arlong. The whole village throw a party for three night and they were finally getting ready to set sail. During this time Zoro was getting better without stopping his sake and everyone was relaxing. They were on Going Merry once again packing up food supplies the villagers gave them along with a couple of tangerine trees Nami bring at night with Luna's help. All villagers were gathering around to say goodbye along with Johnny and Yosaku. Sanji came to join them while getting out from kitchen just Usopp was asking ''Where is Nami? She is coming right?'' Usopp asks while Luna smiles at him ''Dont worry, she'll come'' she says while Sanji ''Of course. She is the half reason that I'm here. Other half is also Luna'' Sanji says with a serious face that makes Usopp to facepalm.

While Luffy and Sanji was arguing about some melon Luna turns to look for Nami. After a couple of minutes later she saw an orange hair and her smile get bigger as they all heard ''Set the sails!'' she shouted and she start to run towards to the ship as the villagers try to stop her and say her to at least to say goodbye. ''What is she doing?'' Usopp asked while Luffy ''She said set sail'' remind him as he watch. As Usopp and Sanji were doing what Nami said, ship start to leave the coast while Nami pass throught the last villager. She jump from the coast and landed on the railing of the Going Merry. She look back at the villagers with a smirk as she pull her shirt up causing dozens of wallets to fall. As Luna start to laughing ''Take care, everyone!'' Nami said with a big smile as the villagers jaws drop ''You rotten little thief!''

As all villagers yells their goodbye and Nami waving her hand to them Usopp was saying she hasnt changed a bit, Zoro was questioning if she's going to betray them again and Sanji was saying good job with a blushing face while Luffy and Luna laughing.

''Alright! its time for the Grand Line now!'' Luffy yells when Nami turned to them with a big smile. Everyone cheers at this with laughs.
