One Piece (Love Story) [Part One]

Chapter Ninety Four [Rewritten]

-Chapter Ninety-Four-

"Bad day, huh?" Robin asked as Nami angrily stormed up the stairs.

"It's only going to get worse working with these guys—we'll never figure out how that ship sailed to the sky!" Nami grumpily huffed. "I'm going to snap on them any second now" she growled.

"Maybe this will help" Robin said as she held out an Eternal Pose.

"An Eternal Pose? But how?" Nami frowned as she quickly snatched the compass out of the older woman's hand.

"Oh, I took it off that salvage ship earlier, just in case" Robin answered.

"You, and I guess sometimes Skylar, are the only ones I can depend on" Nami sniffed, smiling as she started to cry tears of joy.

"Alright, who's up for an octopus dinner tonight?" Luffy grinned as he held up the octopus from earlier.

"I know I am..." I grumbled as I walked up the stairs to join Nami and Robin, rubbing at the few suction marks that were still left on my face.

"That boy has got to learn to relax" Robin said.

"I don't think that's even possible for someone like Luffy" I snorted.

"Jaya? This must have been their homeport" Nami guessed as she studied the Eternal Pose closer.

"Jaya? Is that where we're going next?" Luffy asked, now hanging off the top railing as he ate the freshly cooked octopus.

"Damn, Sanji works fast" I whistled when I saw the food.

"That would be your decision, captain!" Nami snippily snapped.

"All hands on deck! Set our course to Jaya!" Luffy ordered as he hopped back down onto the deck. "So...uh...do any of you know which direction that might be?" he asked.

"Starboard" Nami answered.

"You heard her, Chopper" Luffy grinned.

"Right!" the reindeer nodded.

"Onward to Jaya!" the captain cheered.

"Now hold on just a minute—if we head off to this Jaya place that's so important, wouldn't the Log Pose needle change its position again?" Usopp questioned through a mouthful of food. "Because if that happens, we won't know which direction Sky Island is" he pointed out as he swallowed.

"All hands full stop!" Luffy shouted. "Want to tell me why you're messing with my head, Nami?!" he frowned.

"I'm not!" Nami snapped. "You're the genius who decided we should go to Jaya!" she scowled.

"Oh yeah, that's right" Luffy nodded. "Well, I didn't know it would ruin our plans to get to Skypiea" he childishly huffed.

"It's not my fault you have the memory of a goldfish..." Nami grumbled. "Think, the Log Pose has always worked that way—hasn't it?" she asked.

"Yeah, I guess so" Luffy hummed in thought, quick to realize that the ginger was right. "Hey, listen up, I have an important announcement to make! Seeing as I'm the captain, I say we set our course to Skypiea!" he ordered.

"How do you propose we get there?" Nami asked.

"We're going to have to ask for some directions" Usopp piped up.

"That's obvious" I said.

"Maybe someone in Jaya would know the way" Luffy suggested.

"Very well, Jaya it is" Nami nodded.
