The Devil's Grin - A One Piece Fanfic (Snail-like Updates)

The Girl That Draws Maps and the Boy Who Lies

So I've been trying to decide how to write the pov's. do you guys like how I'm writing so far? I want the change of pov to be easily seen without saying 'Zoro's pov' or something like that. How am I doing? I'll stop bugging you guys about comments, it doesn't seem to do any good anyways😔. Enjoy chapter four😒. Oda owns yada😗😔

"Nami, what happened to you?! Your bleeding!" A blue haired girl cried out as an orange haired girl stumbled in.

"It's ok Nojiko. The bleeding stopped hours ago." Nami huffed as she dropped a bag on the table. Slowly she pulled wads of berries and set them in small stacks for counting.

"Where did all this money come from?" Nojiko asked in surprise.

"I stole it from pirates." Nami stated.

"Pirates?! What are you doing stealing from pirates?" Nojiko exclaimed.

"I made a deal with Arlong." Nami said in a hushed voice. "If I can gather a hundred million berries, I can by our village back from him."

"A hundred million?!" Nojiko screamed. "How are you going to get so much?"

"I'll steal it from pirates. I already have three hundred thousand right here." Nami gestured at the table.

"But look at how hurt you are. There's no way you can gather a hundred million." Nojiko looked ready to cry.

"I'll get better at it, then I can steal from pirates with more gold." Nami wouldn't be convinced to stop.

"How do you know Arlong will keep his side of the bargain?" Nojiko asked. "The fishman invaded our village and killed our mom." She screamed. "You might as well make a deal with the Devil!"

"You called?" A man walked in through the open door.

"Who are you?" Nami and Nojiko asked at the same time. But the man was ignoring them as he sat at the counter, talking to himself.

"Man it's been a long time since my timing was so perfect." He laughed. "Oh hey! Got anything to drink?" He said to thin air.

"Umm, we're over here." Nojiko said to the crazy man.

"Yes I know. I wasn't asking you." He said glancing at them before turning back to his imagined friend.

"Get out of our house." Nami shouted, surprising both Nojiko and the man.

"I see why your still here." He said, speaking to thin air again. He turned to face them, leaning against the counter. "Little girl, I've got a proposition for you. Would you like to hear it?" He asked.

"Yes." Nami said.

At the same time Nojiko shouted no. "Nami is right you should get out of our house." She turned to Nami. "I've got a bad feeling about this guy, dont listen to him."

"So, are you going to hear me out or see me out?" the man leaned forward. His cowl slipping over his eyes, one still visible as it seemed to glow red.

"I'll listen." Nami said after thinking for a bit.

"Good." The man smiled. "Now, from what I heard in the village, you can draw maps."

"Yah, I can. And I'm pretty good." Nami stated.

"Yes. Good enough Arlong wants you." Nami flinched as the man pointed that fact out. "I'm putting together a crew and I need a navigator." He looked pointedly at her.

"And you would like me." He nodded. "What kind of crew is it?"

"A pirate crew."

No way!" Both Nami and Nojiko yelled.
