"Hold it, the Log Pose isn't reacting at all" noted Nami, checking the Log Pose.
"That's correct. Because that island is originally from the West Blue" explained Brook, sauntering back inside the kitchen.
"Hey! Where are you going?" asked Sanji.
"Still, this has been a lucky day! Not only did I meet people, but my wish came true as well! Yohohoho! What a light body!"
The skeleton took back his cane and jumped (mostly flew) on top of the Thousand Sunny's head. He turned back to face all of you, lifting his top hat:
"Indeed! I'm 'Just Dead Bones' after all! You should quickly turn around your ship and find some way out. It is impossible to anchor on this coat. I'm so glad that I met you all today! I will not forget this for the rest of my life! Well, then, take care! I'll be seeing you!"
"Wait, Brook!" shouted Luffy when the skeleton suddenly jumped off the ship and into the ocean.
"What will he do once he jump--HE'S RUNNING ON THE OCEAN!" cried out Usopp.
"Well, I will be damned" you said.
"A-Anyway, Luffy. We should do as he said" stated Nami. "I don't really understand what's going on, but...This island is definitely bad news"
"Hm? You say something?" beamed Luffy.
"HE TOTALLY WANTS TO GO!" said in unison Nami, Usopp and Chopper.
"WHAT IS THIS GHOST ISLAND ANYWAY?" questioned the sniper.
"HEY...THE GHOST FROM EARLIER....WHERE DID IT GO?" panicked the reindeer. "IS HE STILL ON THE SHIP?!"
"No, he flew towards the island" responded Zoro, not really reassuring the doctor. "It probably lives there"
"That large vibration earlier was because that mouth-like gate was closing. I think we were eaten by that mouth" pointed Robin. "I can't be sure because of the fog, but...The walls attached to the gate look like they were helping draw us towards the island. Which means that right now the ship is being pulled towards the island. We're locked inside the gate"
"I see, that's why that skeleton ran away from here as fast as possible" fist pumped in his hand Usopp.
"Then, that means that all of the people on this island were lost at sea? But why?" wondered the navigator.
"If this island can move, we can't just anchor in the middle of the sea" you muttered.
"OI! STOP TALKING LIKE WE'RE GONNA STOP THERE!" cried out indignantly Usopp. "We have to escape right now or we'll be cursed!"
"Listen everyone...The truth is, I've come down with an 'I-can't-land-on-that-island' syndrome..." said Nami, whimpering.
"ME TOO! I HAVE THAT TOO!" sobbed Chopper.
"Oh, really? I have a remedy right here..." you showed your fist, causing the two to shudder in fear.
"Alright! Then you guys watch the ship!" declared Luffy, appearing with a net and a bag at his hip.
"YOU'VE GOTTEN COMPLETELY PREPARED FOR AN ADVENTURE, HAVEN'T YOU?!" snarled the sniper. "COME TO YOUR SENSES! LUFFY! LOOK AT THAT! That ominous tower thing is a real haunted house! You're underestimating the evil spirits!"
"What are you saying?! I'll be really careful and pay close attention!"
"Because you know the meaning of this sentence you just said?!" you exclaimed angrily.
"I'm gonna capture the ghost from earlier and keep him, (y/n)" your captain smiled at you.
"IT ISN'T A PET"
"Well, whatever the case, I have to bring back my important Nakama. Sanji! Kaizoku Bentou!"
"Nakama?! I said I'm against it! If that skeleton was our Nakama I'd be too scared to sleep!" said Usopp.
"You're already too scared to sleep" you pointed out bluntly and the sniper blushed in embarrassment.
"Come and get your bentou" smiled Robin, presenting said lunch box to the young man.
"Luffy. Franky. You two better protect Robin-chan" warned Sanji.
"Having an adventure on a mysterious island really pumps you up!" smiled Franky.
"You're joking! Robin is going too?!" Nami's eyes widened.
"I like them: thrills"
"Yosh! Alright, you guys! From here on we're going to use a smaller ship to try and land on the island, but...There's something really important that you still haven't seen" told the cyborg. "It's the Soldier Dock System: Channel Two!"
"Two?" repeated everyone.
"That's right. This system has 6 channels. There's two 0. One, Two, Three, Four. All the docks activate all sorts of capabilities!"
"Wait a second. The Zero's are paddles, and we've already seen One and Three" you said. "Isn't Two and Four empty?"
"Then, let me show you Silvers"
You followed Franky with Nami, Usopp, and Chopper behind you. You all descending to the lower deck of the ship, in the dock with the channels in question.
"I said they were important. Show me someone who wouldn't want to disembark in this" said Franky, opening the channel Two.
The weak trio let out a sound of pure awe at the sight of the paddle ship, seeing a familiar head. Both Chopper and Usopp started to cry, throwing themselves at the small boat:
"MERRY!!!!" they yelled in unison.
"What are you waiting for? Try it" said Franky.
"It's Merry! Merry was reincarnated as a landing craft!!" exclaimed the sniper as he climbed inside.
Both him and the reindeer sat behind while Nami took the wheel and you took the seat next to her. The small boat was lowered in the water, and a strange sound came from the ship before the channel's door opened. The ginger girl navigated outside, having fun with this new invention.
"Oi, don't sink us" you grunted, crossing your arms over your chest.
"Alright! The tide is coming!" said Nami, turning the small Going Merry toward the coming wave.
She pushed the pedal as far as it could go, the mini Going Merry advancing forward faster. The tidal wave grew in sizes, and the two idiots behind started to panic and scream.
"W-Wait! This is dangerous!!" cried out Usopp.
"Leave it to the captain!" smirked the navigator. The mini Merry jumped above the tide, causing both Chopper and Usopp to shout at the landing. "You were hiding such a wonderful present! Thank you, Franky!"
"Pay attention a little more, else we will collide in something we probably don't want to" you stated firmly.
"Well, as our bodyguard it will be your job to do so"
"What do you mean bodyguard?!"
"I will lower your debt by one beri" the ginger girl tried to give you the puppy eyes.
"SCREW YOU"
Suddenly, your right eye activated itself and it widened at the sight in front of you. Before you could warn Nami, the mini Going Merry came to an abrupt stop, sending you four flying on the other side of the wall. Your screams resonated around the whole island as you all fell toward your death/rebirth. Though, you were surprised to land on something rather soft, followed by Usopp and Nami who landed on top of you.
"Ow..." you groaned.
"Itai..." whimpered Chopper under you, who was in his human form.
" I fell on some kind of cushion...." trailed Usopp, lifting his head on to freeze in fear at the dark look you were giving him.
"You landed on my chest" you growled at the sniper whose face was almost snuggled between your breasts.
"HIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" he screamed, quickly standing up with Nami who groaned in pain at the sudden move.
You stood up from the reindeer, and cracked your knuckles. Usopp lifted his hands in surrender, yelling the words 'I'm sorry' over and over again. With one swift movement of your wrist, you slapped the young man's cheek and sent him crashing against the wall to your left. The ginger girl let out a small scream at the sight of him impaled horizontally through the building.
"He will survive" you stated gruffly.
"A-Anyway, where are we?" demanded Chopper.
"We're now on Thriller Bark, the Ghost Island" you said.
"G-GHOST?!" said Usopp, who somewhat pulled himself out, and Chopper in unison, straightening themselves with their arms up in the air.
"Stop it! Don't be so suddenly scared over something like that!" snapped Nami.
"How did we get down here?" asked Usopp after calming down.
"We were playing on the mini Merry when we ran ashore and stranded here" explained Nami. "You could say we landed in a moat of some sort...It was 100% my fault, but...I'm cute so you'll forgive me, right?"
"I could smack you right here and now" you deadpanned at her attempt to act cute and innocent. At your reply, she pulled out a sign that said it wasn't her fault.
"This is suspicious. What kind of island has a moat like this and then drops you in it right when you land?!" said Usopp.
"I don't think it's a trap. I mean, they could have laid spikes all over the place, so we're kind of lucky, don't you think?" replied the navigator.
"I see. So because we landed on all these skeletons we were saved" trailed Chopper, gazing down at the floor.
It took a moment for them to realize in what they stepped on before crying out loud, throwing their arms in the air once more. You felt like facepalming as Nami yelled at them to stop that.
"But we're still near the entrance, right? If we just stay here, Luffy and the others will come and find us"
"But still, we're not in a good situation. I have a bad feeling" told Chopper to the sniper.
"That's right. It's not dangerous, but nobody can see us..."
"Plus, we don't know if nothing happened to the others while we're down here..." you said and your comrades looked at you in a questioning manner. "There's something weird going on. I can't quite put my finger on it..."
"So we should find a way to the upper grounds and wait for someone to save us?" suggested Nami.
"I guess...But what way should we go..." said Usopp, then froze in fear when 5 eyes glowed in the dark, glaring at you. "...What's that? A dog?"
The fog dissipated, showing the figure of a three headed animal with stitches all over its body. It had two dogs and one fox's head. You raised a brow at the sight, advancing toward the monster.
"W-Wait (y/n)!! That's not a dog!" stammered Nami.
"Is that....Cerberus?...." you said in disbelief as the three heads growled at you.
"CERBERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" screamed in unison the three idiots behind you before they grabbed your arms and started to run in the other direction.
"LET ME GO" you snarled.
"GYAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT'S THE UNDERWORLD'S GUARDIAN!" yelled Usopp.
"THAT DOESN'T EXIST" cried back Nami.
"THERE IS ONE RIGHT THERE!!!!"
"THEN WE ARE IN THE UNDERWORLD?!!!" sobbed Chopper.
"NOOOOOOOOOO I DON'T WANT TO HEAR!!" Nami shook her head wildly.
"I SAID LET ME GO, YOU LUNATICS" you repeated, struggling to get out of their hold.
"IF WE STOP WE'LL BE EATEN SO RUN!!!"
"IT ISN'T CERBERUS. ONE OF THE HEAD IS A FOX" you said and the animal froze in shock.
It sad down, looking distressed. The weak trio stopped in their running, staring back at the monster inquisitively.
"Hey, it seems depressed" whispered Usopp.
"They cared about it..." whispered back Nami, only to scream when the animal growled and started to chase you again.
"IT'S ANGRY"
"GYAHAHAHAHA IT STARTED TO SAY 'KON'!!!!" remarked Usopp as the fox tried to emit the sound of a wolf.
"THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT IT" shouted Nami.
"I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!" kept repeating Chopper.
"Look, there's a staircase! Now we can get above ground!!"
Your group climbed the stairs liked mad men, followed by the dog close behind you. You still ran like your lives depended on it, until Usopp took the initiative and shot one of his smoke bombs, blurring the cerberus's sight. You then climbed the trees, where the monster couldn't find you.
"This won't work because of that dog's nose..." muttered Usopp, gazing at the animal who was sauntering around, sniffing.
"What should we do..." said Nami. "He's chased us into this huge forest...(y/n), beat him down"
"I can't. What if this dog is indeed some kind of guardian? What would happen if one resident of the island noticed that the dog isn't there anymore?" you said. "I won't risk to set off an alarm and get everyone on our backs"
"Hm...It would be bad if we went out there and waited to be rescued" said Chopper.
"That's a problem, isn't it?" a voice said.
You all whipped your head at the direction of the voice, seeing some kind of bat perched upside down next to you. Both Usopp and Chopper screamed, demanding who the hell it was.
"I go by the name of Hildon" he said. "I was chasing after my dog when, I'm embarrassed to say, I spied on you from behind"
"SPIED ON US?!"
"Night is about to come over these woods...In a situation like this, where you entered a dangerous forest without thinking..." the bat continued as a carriage appeared under you. "If it is alright with you, would you like to come with me in my cart to the mansion?"
"Mansion?" repeated the navigator.
"That's right. Doctor Hogback-sama's mansion"
"What is it, Chopper?" asked Usopp when the doctor gasped in realization.
"Hogback?!"
In the end, your small group decided to embark the carriage begrudgingly. For now, the best would probably be to take a safe place for the night in this situation. You still didn't know anything from this island after all.
"Hey...The fog kept me from getting a good look at the horses, but didn't they seem a bit strange?" said Nami.
"You must be imagining things!" Usopp tried to laugh it off, waving his hand nervously.
"Really?....I hope that's all it is"
"Anyway, you're a lifesaver! Thanks for saving our hides!"
"It was nothing! Please, have a drink" offered Hildon, handing a bottle of wine and purring the liquid in Nami's cup."This forest is filled with unusual animals, making it dangerous to simply walk around"
"Like that Cerberus thing?" you drawled in sarcasm.
"That terrifying beast must be a mutant or something!" added Usopp. "I was afraid we were gonna be stuck in that tree when you found us"
"The mansion is the best place to wait for your friends. It stands out and it's safe"
"Plus, I'll get to meet Dr. Hogback!" smiled cheerfully Chopper.
"Is he that famous?" you questioned with a raised brow.
"There isn't a single doctor who doesn't know his name! He's a famous surgeon. With his miraculous operations, he's saved as many people as there are stars! He has obtained status, honor, and everything you could get as a doctor!" explained the reindeer. "He's earned the respect of doctors around the world! But then....he suddenly vanished on day. Some say he went missing, while others say he was abducted. It threw the medical world into an uproar for a while, but in the end, no one could find any leads. Now he's on the verge of becoming a legend...."
Suddenly, Chopper whipped his head toward Hildon, stars shining all around with cute blush on his cheeks.
"You meant that Dr.Hogback, right?"
"Indeed! The doctor is still conducting research that goes beyond the boundary of human knowledge" replied Hildon.
"Would it be okay if I asked for his autograph?" Chopper gave a goofy smile.
"....Cute...." you thought, internally screaming while having a blank face on.
"If that's all you want I'm sure that would be fine"
"No way!" you heard the hushed whisper of the navigator.
You looked at her, who was gazing at something outside the carriage. Staring over her shoulder, you saw the figure of a lion on top of a hill. Though, the thing that surprised you the most is the fact it had a human's face. Nami's face turned blue, her soul leaving her body before screaming loudly.
She threw her drink in your face, and both Chopper and Usopp nearly had a heart attack.
"WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?! DON'T FREAK ME OUT!" barked Usopp.
"You bitch..." you scowled, drying your face with a towel that Hildon handed to you.
"S-S-Sorry, (y/n)! B-But just now, I saw a l-lion outside! It looked like this" stammered Nami, showing a drawing of the animal's face.
"I DON'T BUY THAT" cried out the sniper.
"Then take a look for yourself! Go on!"
Nami opened the curtains, pointing in the direction where was once the lion. However, something even weirder was going on, with animated trees singing a creepy song with ghosts and all kind of animals. The four of you blinked at the sight, glaring at the apparitions who froze when they realized you were all staring at them.
The weak trio passed a hand over their eyes to see if they weren't imagining things, and the apparitions disappeared like the blink of an eye. They let out a sigh of relief, letting out a fit of chuckles while you remained with a deadpan. It didn't last long before they threw their arms in the air and screamed like mad men.
"WEIRD STUFF'S OUT OF THERE! SUPER WEIRD STUFF'S OUT THERE!!!" they screamed.
"STOP RIGHT HERE! Stop the carriage, Hildon-san!" panicked Nami, a fainted Usopp next to her.
"Why are you so worked up? Are you having hallucinations?" asked calmly Hildon, and the sniper immediately came back to life.
"THAT WASN'T A HALLUCINATION! I'm sure they were out there! This forest is way too messed up!" he cried out.
"I suppose. This forest is a little strange"
"Strange isn't even the word" you sweatdropped, seeing from your right side an unicorn.
"The combination of thick fog and fear can induce hallucinations in some" said Hildon.
"Then that was a hallucination? What a relief" sighed Chopper.
"It wasn't" you narrowed your eyes at the bat. "Could you take us back to the shore? Even if it's dangerous, we'll manage"
"(y/n)! I won't get to meet Dr. Hogback!!!" wailed Chopper and you swore your heart broke in pieces. If you had one, that is. "I wanna meet him!"
"You're worst than a brat! Shut up or I smack you hard!" you snapped.
"Yes, yes, I get you. But this is when we've gotta listen to our beautiful (y/n) who knows when there's something fishy going on!" Usopp tried to calm the reindeer down. "Are you willing to die to meet that doctor? Or will you skip meeting him so we can leave this island alive? Which will it be?!"
"Of course I don't want to die! Or get scared!" sniffed Chopper.
"Is that right? I shall go inform the coachmen" stated Hildon. "Please, everyone. Wait here. Stop the carriage!"
The bat exited the carriage, leaving you four alone. Chopper was still sulking against his seat, Nami apologizing to him for wasting up this huge chance. 10 minutes later, no noises came from outside, it was completely silent. Nor did you have any sign of the coachmen or Hildon.
"How long is he going to keep us waiting?" muttered Nami.
"That's strange. We're just going back the way we..." trailed Usopp, taking a look outside only to yell. "WHAT?! NO ONE'S THERE! EVEN THE HORSES ARE GONE! THEY ABANDONED US IN A GRAVEYARD!!!"
"THEY WHAT?! WHY?!"
"So we wouldn't escape" you grunted, standing up and exiting the carriage.
"W-wait! (y/n)! Don't!" cried out the weak trio.
The moment you stepped a foot on the ground, hands sprouted out of the earth. Slowly, a bandaged and rotten body appeared while letting out a groan, followed by several others.
"That can't be..." you whispered in debelief.
"ZOMBIES!" screamed your comrades.
You pulled out your guns as the zombies started to saunter toward the carriage, with the others behind you crying in fear.
"Everyone, get out of the carriage! We are leaving this place!" you ordered.
"A-Aye!"
They quickly did as told and ran toward the exit of the graveyard. Only for them to get cornered by a mob of zombies in front of them. Your right eye flashing purple, you whistled the small tune. Faster than what the eye could register, you disappeared. Several zombies let out a noise of confusion, only to let out a pained noise and cough out blood.
You reappeared behind them, your naginata swung down with both hands.
"Human Realm: Edge End" you spoke lowly.
A burst of wind caused your opponents to fly in every direction, falling far away with a loud thud. Screams resonated behind you, and you whipped your head in said direction to see Nami trapped in a zombie's hold. Before you could take care of it, Usopp pulled out his weapon and shot a fire bomb at the mob. The zombies cried out in fear, shuffling away from the navigator.
"FIREEEEEEEEEEE!!!" yelled the zombies.
"THAT'S ROTTIN' BAD!!!" yelled another.
"That worked better than I could have hoped!" breathed in shock Usopp.
"THAT WAS DANGEROUS, YOU PYRO PUNK!" yelled indignantly the zombies.
"WHAT IF I ACTUALLY CAUGHT ON FIRE, YOU STUPID JERK?!"
"ROTTEN SCUM"
"That ticked off the zombies" sweatdropped Chopper.
"Nice one, Usopp. But now we must be going!" you yelled at them, running toward Nami and lifting her over your shoulder. "At this point, the mansion is the closest place to run for safety"
"Yeah, let's go there" nodded the doctor.
"That was scary" whimpered Nami over your shoulder.
"We'll be okay! They can't catch up if we run like mad for the mansion once we're outta the graveyard!" said Usopp, looking back at the mob of zombies chasing your group. "Zombies can only walk at a snail's pace and groan at you"
"At a snail's pace?" they repeated, making a huge dash that came out of nowhere. "AT A SNAIL'S PACE?!"
"GYAHHHHHHHHHH THEY'RE FAST"
Usopp and Chopper screamed loudly as tears escaped their eyes, and Nami was practically dying on your back by how frightened she was. The navigator was almost chocking you by how tight her arms were around your neck. However, the sniper stopped momentarily, staring in disbelief at the zombies who were kneeling down, panting hard.
"Just a sec...Time out!" rasped one of them.
"ZERO STAMINA" cried out Usopp.
"Just come already!" you snapped at him, running into the woods.
"R-RIGHT"
Making sure your group was far away from the mob of zombies, you put back down Nami and you all sauntered toward the mansion. You arrived in front of a gate, and passing it you found yourself at the entrance of said building. Which didn't look quite inviting, taking a first look at it.
Nami yelled Hogback's name, demanding if there was someone in there. No response came from the mansion.
"Maybe no one's home" said Usopp.
"That would stink! We'll have to face zombies if we turn back" retorted Nami.
"Look! A light in the back turned on" Chopper pointed at a spot light who was illuminating a well.
You took a step closer to the well, and before you could gaze down inside of it, the ropes were pulled by something coming out of the well. The weak trio hid behind you, shivering in fear as you put one hand on the sheath of your guns. A woman with plates in her hands appeared with a blank expression, and using a voice void of emotions:
"Welcome" she greeted.
"HYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" screamed your comrades.
The woman took one of her plates and started to shoot them at Usopp's face while counting.
"THAT WOMAN'S THROWING PLATES! OW! DOESN'T IT SEEM LIKE SHE'S GOING AFTER ME?! OW" cried out Usopp, trying to protect his face from the plates.
"Yes, I am. I cannot invite you into the mansion" replied the strange woman. "Those three may step inside"
"What?" you deadpanned at her.
"You may get lost" the woman pointed at Usopp. "Eight, nine!"
"WHY ME"
"That's enough! Hold your hand!" a voice behind the doors ordered, and the woman immediately stopped. A fat man exited the mansion: "I think we can make this one exception, Cindry-chan. I'm sorry if she startled you guys. A long time ago, this woman was engaged to her wealthy master. To test his love, she broke all of his prized plates. He tossed her out, and her tragic past has made her develop an aversion to plates. She's my servant, Cindry-chan!"
"What kind of story is that?" you sweated, Usopp humming in agreement next to you.
"And I've failed to introduce myself. I am the world-renowned Dr. Hogback!" the man introduced himself. "Also known as a genius"
There was a pause, before Cindry shot her last plate in Usopp's face once more, causing the male to fall on his back with a loud thud. Hogback sweatdropped and waved his hands nervously at the servent.
"Now, now, Cindry-chan! I said you could stop! It makes me look bad when you don't listen to me" said Hogback.
"........I wish plates would disappear from the face of the earth!" declared Cindry creepily.
"I understand! I understand completely! But I was in the middle of a conversation!"
"Eh, Chopper. Is he the guy you were talking about?" you asked the reindeer who had sparkles all around him.
"D-Dr. Hogback in the flesh!" gushed Chopper.
"He doesn't seem too bright" muttered Nami.
"WATCH IT, NAMI"
"You may talk inside. Today, I will make an exception" said the servant. "All four of you may enter. Come in"
"R-Right, right! Come indie my mansion!" invited Hogback.
"I don't get why I wasn't welcome but should we take them up on the offer?" asked Usopp.
"Sure. Beats the zombies outside"
"Fosfosfosfos. It's a pleasure to welcome you to my mansion. But my, you sure are grungy! What brings you here?" stated Hogback.
After entering the mansion, your group was led to a dinning table where you all took a seat.
"A whole bunch of things, but for starters--" trailed Nami but was cut by Chopper.
"I'll explain everything in detail later"
"Zombies attacked us in the graveyard, so we ran here for cover" continued the navigator, ignoring the doctor's statement.
"Zombies, huh?" repeated Hogback.
"There was a whole bunch of stuff that made us doubt our eyes" enriched Usopp. "What's the deal of this island?! Since you live here, you've gotta know something!"
"I see. So they attacked you, huh? I'm glad you made it here in one piece. That's a relief! To answer your question: I don't know what they are, which is why I live here"
"So you're conducting research on the zombies?" concluded Chopper.
"Indeed, I am! People are terrified when they hear 'zombie'. But what if I rephrase it to 'resurrecting the dead'? Hasn't that been all mankind's eternal dream? Everyone has a special someone or two they'd like to see return from the dead"
"Resurrecting the dead?" you repeated in disbelief, shock written on your face.
"But toying with human mortality is unorthodox medicine that disrespects God! That's why I slipped away from the public eye, so I could continue my research on this island in secret!" continued Hogback.
"S-So that's the story! But I'm sure tons of people around the world would be thrilled if your research is a success! I'll be rooting for you, Dr. Hogback!" blushed Chopper.
"You're rather open-minded! Thank you, Dr.Chopper!"
"EHHHHHHH?! S-Shucks, Doctor! I'm not happy because you thanked me or anything, you jerk! May I have your autograph?" the reindeer pulled out a sheet of paper.
"Why, certainly!" chuckled the doctor as he signed it.
"And can I see your lab later?"
"BY ALL MEANS, STEER CLEAR OF MY LABORATORY!" snarled Hogback, causing Chopper to jump in your arms and hide his face in your bosom. However, he quickly returned to normal when Cindry put the food directly on the table. Without plates. "Hey, Cindry-chan! Put the flan on plates! Couldn't you at least do that for me?!"
"I wish plates would disappear from the face of the earth" the servant said again.
"Fosfosfosfos. Guys, I wash the heck out of the tablecloth for times just like this, so feel free to eat away!"
"Don't mind if we do" answered in unison Chopper and Usopp, slurping their fan.
"YOU CAN STILL USE YOUR SPOONS" you barked.
"I've drawn you a bath. You're a filthy lot, so go hop in" stated Cindry.
"Hey, Pops. He doesn't mean anything to me, but did a weird skeleton drop by before we arrived?" asked the sniper and Hogback paused.
"A-A skeleton?"
"Yeah. He's tall with an afro, make bad jokes about him being a skull" you said. "The fact he can talk and walk makes him odd enough too. Do you know anything about him?"
"....N-No, I don't...." said Hogback, bullets of sweat running down his forehead.
"..." your eyes narrowed at him, but you didn't press on.
Much later after you were done with the food served, you went ahead to take a bath, leaving the others with the weird doctor. Nami told you that she would join later, demanding your 'permission' to watch her back while she washing herself. Opening the door leading to the bathroom, you peeked at the inside. Shrugging, you started to take your clothes off, and for just a moment, you swore you heard a noise like someone chocking on its saliva.
Taking a quick shower, you headed for the bath whose water was still pretty warm and you sighed in delight. You stretched your arms outside the bath, leaning your head against the border in content. Your mind was finally in peace, and you were enjoying it until hearing some kind of growl. Your eyes widened in surprise as you looked around the room to find the source, but there was nothing. You were completely alone in this bathtub. That what's you thought, until you felt a cold breath against the nape of your neck.
"What the-" you trailed but froze like a stone when something groped your breasts.
Your body stiffened and a snarl decorated your lips, looking down at your chest to see your breasts being squeezed painfully. What the hell is going on this island?!
"So big and squishy, just how I like them-hehehehe" snickered a pervy voice in your ear and you blanched for a moment.
You slowly looked over your shoulder, still seeing nothing but there was definitely someone here. You gasped when the hands squeezed harder, eliciting a grunt of discomfort through your lips.
"You look better than the other woman on that ship....Become my wife" the male voice whispered in your ear.
However, a dark cloud hovered your head, your face taking a new shade of red by how angry you were. You turned your head to face where you thought the presence was, your right eye flashing purple dangerously. With it, you could now distinguish a rose aura in front of you. With only one hand, you grabbed the man by the collar and swung him directly in the wall next to you. His form collided hard against the building and he let out a pained groan, his form imprinted in the brisk.
The man let out a small scream as you sauntered toward him, hands on your hips and still naked.
"What a naughty, disgusting pile of shit" you mumbled darkly and lowly, your eyes glowing red. "Peeking on women in the bathrooms? And groping me too?"
You cracked your knuckles, causing the man at your feet to flinch and shiver in horror at the beast he just unleashed from its chains.
"I will shoot my canon far up your ass and there will be nothing left of it" you announced, grabbing his neck.
You griped his neck harder, squeezing the remnant of air left in his lungs. You lifted the male off the ground and pinned him against the wall, pushing harder which each seconds that passed. He dared touch you, he will die. End of the line and simple to understand. However, the male grabbed the soap laying on the ground and threw it at your face, making you flinch and release him. Washing the soap off your face, you activated your right eye once again to see where he left. But he was nowhere to be seen.
"....So, we are also against an invisible man" you muttered.
