The Princess and The Swordsman (ZoroxOC)

Chapter 119

THIS IS YAMI!

There was a moment before the Monkey roared in frustration, "How dare you lay a hand on my hard working men!" he shouted, "Intruders!" he shouted and then stood, posing, as Nami waved her hand in her face, "Uh, you know, we're not gonna take your picture or anything." she called out. He looked at her, "You're not?" he asked. I giggled at the bewildered look on his face, "He was giving us a photo op?" Usopp asked and Shae nodded, "He seems...a little full of himself." she remarked. His eyes suddenly widened, "I'll be right down! Continue with the salvaging operation men!" he instructed his crew, then dove into the water.

We waited in silence, when everything began to shake, "There's something else down there." Nami exclaimed. I rushed to the railing and looked into the sea, "Zoro, please be careful." I said softly as I gripped the railing tightly. Everything seemed to freeze, and then, the huge creature surfaced. Yami began snarling loudly and growled, saliva dripping from his jaws as he snapped the creature. We all stared up in fear at the huge sea turtle, "Does anyone else see the monster the size of an island in front of us?" Nami exclaimed in fear. I watched the monsterous turtle, tuning out everything as I stared at the four oxygen hose coming from the turtle's mouth.

"You know. Our boys just got eaten." I heard Robin confirm, "No way! I'm telling you, they're okay!" Shae argued, shaking her head, "Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji would never die this easily!" she stated in confidence. Robin kept watching the turtle, "So did that ship we were trying to salvage." she added as Shae watched the tutle also, her eyes glued to it. I looked at Shae, "I agree, Shae. I believe they are fine as well, I just know they are." I said softly and Shae nodded, "Exactly. They will come out at any minute." she agreed as Chopper ran around screaming. The turtle swallowed and the hoses began dragging our ship towards the turtle.

"If we don't cut the air hoses, that beast will drag us down to the bottom of the ocean." Robin warned us. I looked at her, "Are you insane? The guys are still in there! including your friend Jaxon! Are you willing to sacrific Jax?" I demanded. Robin looked at me, "Yes. Because Jax wouldn't want me and Yami dragged to the sea and drowned. He would want me to do whatever it takes to protect myself and Yami, as would Luffy and your swordsman." she pointed out. I looked towards the turtle again, "I don't care!" I argued. Usopp, on the other hand, didn't agree, "I don't care what you do, just do something. You're the tough and smart lady!" Usopp cried out.

"Give me a minute. I'll see what I can come up with." Robin answered as the turtle pulled both of our ships along. The other crew rallied together to save their captain. Nami was facing the turtle, "Usopp! Cut the air hoses, and get us out of here!" she shouted, Chopper glared at Nami, "Coward!" he shouted. Shae looked at her, "No! We have to save our boys! There's no way they're dead!" Shae argued. Suddenly, the sky grew dark and everyone looked around, "What is that?" Usopp asked as Yami looked around on full alert. I swallowed, "It's like someone put the sun out." I said as I looked towards the sky. Nami was looking at her pocket watch, "There's no way! Why is it so dark? It's not that late." she remarked.

I noticed the ropes slackening up and I turned to the turtle, as I watched someone shoot out of the water. Shae gasped and ran to him, "Luffy!" she cried as she reached his side and dropped to her knees.
