The sound of the sea around her was the first thing she heard. Her eyes scrunched slightly before she slowly opened them, giving the sound a visual representation in her head. As she turned her head to the right, another boat came into view.

"There's someone in there," said the first voice while they got closer.

The second Nami noticed the two men a plan started forming inside her head, just like it always does. She grabbed onto the trim of the wooden boat and lifted herself up.

"Help me. Water," her voice shaking.

"Oh, you're in luck, sweetheart. We're all the help you'll need," said the other man, the side of his mouth rising up into a smirk.

"My crew was attacked by pirates. I... I barely managed to make it out alive."

"Pirates you say. I hear they are a terrible lot."

"The worst sort," continued the other man as their boats were slowly pushed towards each other by the sea, "Good thing we found you instead of them."

Nami looked up towards the top of the mast and saw the pirate flag with a clown's skull painted on it and her previous suspicion was confirmed. She quickly changed her expression into one of fear and turned towards the chest behind her, trying to cover it with a piece of cloth.

"What you got there? Something to share?" Asked the first man as both of them threw their hooks onto her boat to bring her closer.

"No. Please, no, it's... it's all I have." She turned to face them as they started to climb onto her boat, "Please."

"It's a fair trade for saving your life," laughed the second one as his friend was already by the chest.

He grabbed Nami's arm and with a grunt pushed her onto her back before walking towards his crewmate. When both of their backs were turned towards her, Nami smirked and quietly made her way onto their boat.

As they managed to get the chest to open they discovered the nothing that was inside making both of them look at each other in surprise.

"Hey! What give?" Both of them turned towards the spot they left her before, only to find it empty.

"Sorry boys," Nami laughed at them as she was already far enough that there was nothing they could do, "Thanks for the rescue."

The only response she got was more grunting as they started showing each other, at which point she was already walking around on her new ship. Before she had the chance to look at her map journal she heard a thud from the cabin right in front of her.

Carefully she crept towards the door, subconsciously turning her bag so it was behind her back rather than on her side. No more sounds came after the initial thud which gave her an unnecessary sense of safety.

Nami grabbed the handle of the door and quickly opened the door inwards.

"Ow!" Was the first thing she heard as a girl fell onto the floor, holding her head as she glared at her, "What's your problem?"

Cleoma waited for an answer as she continued to glare upwards at the orange-haired girl who had just probably created a new bruise on her forehead. She could see the slow recognition in the girl's eyes and knew what was coming.

"You're a pirate," Nami started, her stance becoming more of a fighting pose as the false feeling of safety slipped away, "The..."

"Yes, yes I know," Cleoma pronounced as she slowly stood up, giving Nami a good view of the ropes behind her. "No need for an introduction from me then, but I would like to know who you are. You don't seem like you are a part of the clown's crew."
