A Songbird's Tale (One Piece x Male Reader)

Chapter IV: Syrup Village... When Did We Get Here?

Night turned to day into night into day before you finally woke up from your absolutely phenomenal super nap. Though a part of you definitely felt weird, as though you had missed out on an entire arc, namely six episodes of your journey as you slept. Well, no matter, surely nothing interesting happened. Looking beside you, you saw a relaxing Zora with some blood coating the side of her stomach. 

Nodding to yourself as though that was normal, you turn to look at Luffy who was sitting atop the bowsprit of the small boat while.-

"Ahh! Zora! Why are you hurt?!" In a panic, you immediately stood up from your position, rocking the boat a bit as you rubbed your hands to generate enough heat to cauterize wounds in a flash. "H-Hold on! I'll contain it!"

"Oi! C-Calm down, idiot!" She had to roll away from you as you desperately tried to help her. Lifting her shirt up a bit, she showed you the wound that was there. "I got it at the last village, but it's fine now! Look!"

Stopping just a few inches away from touching it, you could see the stitches that were in place from what seemed to be a blade wound on the left side of her stomach. Dipping your hands in the water to cool them down, you scratch the back of your head with a sheepish smile.

"Ah, that so?"

"Yeah, that so!"

Smack!

"Ow!" Caressing your head as she smacked you on the top of your head, you look at her annoyed face with a pathetic expression on yours.

"Do I look like I'll die from just a stab wound?!"

"Well, I mean, people die when they are killed, so..."

"Answer the damn question!"

"Ahh! No, ma'am!"

"Good!" Zora laughed to herself as she crossed her arms. Giggling alongside her, you thought about something that racked your brain a little bit.

"Wait... last village? Did you guys do something without me?" She nodded, and immense disappointment rattled your entire body. "Why didn't anyone wake me up?!"

"You wouldn't wake up." She explained, thinking back to everything she tried to do to do so. She'd tried shaking you awake. Nothing. Poking you with her swords. Nothing. Dipping you in water. Nothing. When you were asleep, it seemed like nothing could wake you up at all.

"B-But... what about adventure?" Pulling out a notebook and pencil, you looked at her with wet eyes and pouted lips. "How am I supposed to write about it if I wasn't there?"

"How am I supposed to know? Just ask Luffy, she's the one that knows what happened there. I was mostly just asleep." Pointing behind her, Luffy was there, eating apples as she relaxed on the bowsprit.

"Okay. Lu~! Tell me all about your adve-!"

"I'm saying that it'd be reckless it go straight into the Grand Line now!" A voice you didn't quite recognise interrupted. Turning to look, you felt a rather strange sense of deja vu once you saw her. You felt like you've seen her multiple times before, but you weren't certain.

"Yeah, some meat would be nice to have first." Luffy said as she ate the apple's core. "Eating nothing but fruit everyday is no good..."

"And some booze. Need some booze, too!" Zora added once she sat back down and relaxed.

"Don't we already have those?" You ask, remembering what you brought from your trip to the navy base city.

The two turn to you with hopeful eyes, and you move back to open the barrel of ale and the sack of meats as the two inched closer to you. Revealing the priceless treasures, the two of them lunged forwards to consume what you had shown them like wild animals. You expected Luffy to do so, but you hadn't expected Zora to do the same.
