The day was normal until lunch. That is what Namur thought.
His division members told him that Izo stopped Thatch from pranking others by making him do paperwork. A few minutes later Haruta and Luffy appeared and took some less specific paperwork from him to prank the cook with giving him more work. That was the most useful prank the Fishman heard of since he decided to become a Whitebeard pirate.
Lunch was quiet. With Thatch doing paperwork and Ace being on a mission, the two, who were some of the loudest during lunch, were missing. The straw hat captain wasn't here. But the crew members were still worried and looked around like they expected a hand to appear even if some of them confirmed the boy went to the village with Haruta. Namur could only shake his head slightly of the paranoid members. Two meals with the brat and they were already nervous. How would be one the boy's party? Would they then even drink less to make sure their food wouldn't be stolen? Well, it promised to be a funny sight.
Shortly after lunch, Marco came back. The blonde started to send their crew members around, because of the storm, which slowly started. The ship had to be stabilised and they also had to help in the village, which is under their protection.
The barrier sea in the mountain seemed close to break free, as Marco told them. He was right. When the storm was getting stronger, they could see the water coming down from the mountains. Luckily they worked fast and had Marco warning them before. So the damage to the village was lesser than expected.
But then they heard something which meant a lot more work for them. A saleswoman told them that Haruta and Luffy left her shop a few minutes before the incoming storm showed itself. Other people told them that the 12th division commander followed the boy to the mountains, but they didn't see them coming back. So their two younger siblings were most likely still out there and probably got hit by the storm.
But they couldn't go and look for them as long as the storm still went on. So they could only hope that these two were safe. They could take care of themselves. But that didn't stop them worrying about Haruta and Luffy.
Namur waited with Izo, Thatch, Jozu, Marco and Oyaji. But he started to get nervous. Jozu had to hold back Marco so that the blonde didn't throw himself in the air to look for them. Only Oyaji's command made the first division commander stay. But he paced around impatiently. In his blue eyes, Namur could see worry and a bit of despair. Probably because he couldn't do anything until the storm was over. The Fishman could also see the worry for their two missing family members in Izo's eyes, but it was also for their first division commander. Thatch's reaction to the whole situation surprised Namur. The cook didn't tease Marco and didn't joke like he normally would. That was something which worried Namur, too.
When the storm finally calmed down, they started searching. Close to the village, they found Haruta. Her clothes were soaked. She was pale and cold. On the left side of her head was a bit blood, but it seemed to be the only injury she got. On her chest, under her right hand, was a straw hat. Luffy's straw hat.
The hat alone let Marco lose some of his famous control. He never thought he would see all these emotions again on the blonde's face. The shock he got at Marine Ford when they all thought their father figure would die. That they lose Ace again, too. It was something he didn't want to remember. But now Namur remembered and it made him wonder why did his brother reacted like that.
They found Haruta. Yeah, hurt and unconscious. But alive and everything would be fine when she would be in the sick bay. So Luffy will probably in the same situation.
But Namur was happy that Oyaji was with them and gave them orders. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to control Marco who seemed to lose his control over his emotions more and more. Especially as Haruta regained conscious a bit and said that she was sorry.
