Piracy? Unchanging facade in a new world!

Amazing chest ahead

"Sorry about that guy, he can be a handful at times. He doesn't mean bad but he also has trouble expressing himself honestly. We drifted apart slightly a day or so ago." Gaimon looked upset as he said this, looking towards me with upturned eyes.

Still what exactly is this costume he has? Why is he wearing a treasure chest? These aren't the important questions but they're the ones I want to know desperately. Its hard to ask though! He acts as if this were the most natural thing in the world. I know he's been trapped here a while, but help me out here, please!

Luffy, Usopp, Zoro? One of you please ask this guy what's going on? Seriously are none of you interested in this guy? Am I going to have to handle this entire conversation again? Goddamn it this was why I thought staying with them would be a pain in the ass.

At least that other guy's gone for now. I couldn't think straight with those hollow eyes piercing my being. Those eyes... Dead. But a fierceness lies hidden behind them, they remind me of HIM...

The thought alone makes me nauseas. I'd rather not remember that bastard if I can help it. It's regrettable enough that I'll see him soon enough.

No good. If my mind keeps up with this I'll collapse.

No, that's enough. Don't think of it anymore Nami, simply continue along your path. As you were. Follow your orders to the letter, life is so much more bearable like that.

Regaining consciousness from my stupor to then realise Zoro is nowhere to be seen. Crap... Don't tell me he went after him... There're limits to recklessness you know! That guy shouldn't be messed with. Those eyes. Like a predator stalking prey. I could feel them from when we were in the forest, if he decided to aim at Usopp or me from the start we would be dead. Even when fighting the three as a whole he didn't seem to be fazed in the slightest. Luffy must've noticed this as well, I've never seen him change attitude so quickly before.

Not only that, this is the first time Luffy has used his ability in a surprise attack and it was completely thwarted almost effortlessly. Even Kuro, who we fought before was taken aback by such an attack and he had speed surpassing our sight. That Ayanokouji remained calm and observed us from afar, then decided to jump into the fray and fight even if he was outnumbered. Calm, cold, logical. He wouldn't risk fighting a losing battle, and he doesn't seem to value Gaimon much either.

That can only lead to a single conclusion. He was never in danger at that moment. His assessment of us as a group surmised that we didn't pose a substantial threat. In fact he very well could have been playing with us from the start. The only thing we can pray for at this moment is that he has no intention of killing. He still wants passage off the island and likely doesn't have much knowledge regarding the world. Meaning he's restricted in his methods and actions at least whilst we're on this island. He may very well be a worse existence than even Him. At least in His case his intentions are readable, Ayanokouji on the other hand is a blank slate. We have no idea as to that guy's goals, motivations or any information regarding his past. 

A monster is present on the island and he intends to board our vessel.

What do we do? Luffy wants to bring him along and honestly I don't think we have the ability to refuse. Not only due to Luffy's stubbornness, but also because of the strength evident in that guy; Ayanokouji. Luffy for better or worse tends to have a good judgement of character at least, maybe I can trust his instincts and he'll leave us be until he parts ways. Hopefully that isn't wishful thinking...
