Fall For You

03

Liliana woke up from her sleep to hear Nami and Luffy arguing. Or more like Luffy having fun and Nami yelling at him for it. "Would you please give me some quiet and some space?" Nami says angrily as she knocks Luffy's hat off his head. Liliana stood up from where she slept and stood at the door where Zoro laid. Luffy went running for his hat and caught it. "hey" he says as he faces Nami and puts the hat back on. "Not cool. Don't mess with my hat." He says seriously. Liliana rose an eyebrow. She was shocked at his sudden seriousness. "Why do you even care so much bout that old thing anyway? It looks like you fished it out of the trash." Liliana said as she walked over to the side of the boat and into the ocean. 

"One man's trash is another man's treasure." Luffy responds. Liliana nodded her head staring off into space. She daydreamed about the past. She missed how her, and her father used to go out fishing. The only reason she's working for Arlong is so she can get her father back. Arlong is holding him in a prison, and she threatened to kill him if she didn't work with him. 

The sound of a click pulled her away from her daydream. She turned her head and noticed Nami had the safe open and the map in her hands. "That's it? Isn't there supposed to be gold inside a safe?" Zoro questioned as he looked inside the safe. Nami and Liliana looked at him with a glare. "This is more valuable than gold. It's knowledge." Nami told him. Liliana grabbed the map from Nami and looked at it. "This is a map to the Grand Line." Liliana added on with a smile on her face. She was finally going to help her town and her father. "The Grand Line. Ah." He pauses in excitement. "The Grand Line is just right..." He paused as his hand went to point to a spot on the map. Liliana realized he didn't even know where the Grand Line was. "Where is it exactly?" He looked up at Liliana and Nami. Liliana sighed and shook her head. "You're going to the Grand Line, but you don't know where it is?" Nami questioned the clueless boy. "i guess I need a navigator on my crew." He adds on to what he was saying. 

They all walk back inside and Nami places the map down on the table. "The seas are divided into four quadrants." Nami spoke as she drew what she was speaking about. "East blue" She said as she wrote an E on one corner, "North blue," she said as she placed an N on the paper. "West, South" she said as she also put them down on the paper. "This thin strip of land that circles the globe." She pauses as she draws two lines down the middle. "Is called the Red Line, and this band across the middle is the Grand Line." Nami added on as she drew a line in the middle from left to right. "A treacherous stretch of ocean with bigger islands and bigger cities." Nami said, causing Lili to step in and add on to the list, "and bigger pirates." She looked up at Luffy as she said that, but he looked unbothered. "It's flushed with riches and ripe for the picking." Nami said as she smiled to herself. 

"And that's where we're going to find the One Piece." Luffy says as he smiles looking at everyone. Liliana smiles back at Luffy. His smile was contagious to her. Anytime he smiled, she couldn't help but smile too. "I've taken out a lot of pirates looking for that thing. What is it? Like a big diamond or something?" Zoro asked the crew. Liliana looked up at him and shook her head. "Dude, no one knows what it is. Do you even pay attention? Like do you know anything about the One Piece?" Liliana scolded him. Zoro rolled his eyes and looked at her. "Would I be asking questions if I was?" He responded smartly back at her causing her to roll her eyes and cross her arms. "It's Gold Roger's treasure. He hid it somewhere in the Grand Line. All in one piece." Luffy intervenes. "It's a myth." Nami said rolling her eyes and looking at Zoro. "The reason no one's found it in 22 years is that it doesn't exist." Nami said looking back at Luffy as she said her last few words. 

"Can't wait to see the look on your face when we find it." Luffy spoke as he smirked. There was a sound of an explosion from outside. "Oh no, don't tell me the marines found us." Liliana said worriedly. The whole crew went outside and looked at who was attacking their small boat. The last bomb they sent out had exploded and let out a gas that made them all fall asleep. Liliana and Luffy were the last people awake. Liliana noticed Luffy running to the map. She followed behind him as she was slowly losing consciousness. Before she had completely let sleep take over, she watched as Luffy swallowed the map whole.
