Fall For You

04

Liliana woke up as everyone else did. She looked around at where they were. "Hey, Zoro!" Luffy whispered in Zoro's ear. Zoro woke up and was confused on where they were. He looked down for his swords and noticed they were missing. "They took my swords." He said as he looked up at the wall. "They took my rucksack, ugh, with all my navigation gear." Nami said as she started waking up. Liliana put her hand up to her head. "This is so unreal right now." She whispered to herself. She couldn't believe they had let themselves get captured by another group of pirates.  Luffy brought his hands up to his head and let out a breath of relief. "They didn't take my hat." Liliana side eyed him. "Yeah, small blessings." She responded to Luffy. 

Nami's face changed as she realized something. "Damn it, we lost the map!" She said as she stood up. Lili looked at her disgusted. "No, we didn't," she said as she looked over at Luffy. Luffy stands up and smacks his head at the top of the box he was in. "It's in a safe place" He whispered as he places a hand on his stomach. Lili gags, "It was the last thing I saw before I closed my eyes and woke up here." Nami stare at him blankly and muttered an "ew," before Zoro started pushing on the wood pieces trying to get out. 

"What are you doing!?" Lili whisper yelled at Zoro. "I'm trying to get us out of here," he responded back as he looked back at her. "We've been captured. We need a plan." Nami responds back at him. Zoro pauses before speaking, "I don't need a plan. I just need to beat the hell out of every marine I see-" Zoro wanted to say more, but Luffy cuts him off. "Hey everyone, relax. We're fine." He spoke as he tried to calm everyone's nerves. Lili looks at Luffy and was about to say something, but Nami cut her off. " We're not fine. The Marines will throw us in jail if we're lucky. Execute us if they don't-" 

"Stop it!" Lili whisper yelled as she cut Nami off. "They aren't Marines. They are pirates." She said aggravated with everyone. "Yeah, before I got knocked out, I saw a Jolly Roger." Nami looked at the two with wide eyes as she took in the news. "That's much better." Lili shook her head in shame. "I can't believe this is happening right now. Of all people to be captured by, it was stupid pirates." She groaned as she spoke. "They are right though. Marines have training. Pirates are easier to kill." Zoro spoke up as he looked over at Nami.

"Shanks used to say not every situation can be solved with violence." Luffy spoke as he bent down. Zoro looked at him blankly, but clearly confused on who Shanks was. "Who is Shanks?" Lili asked confusedly. Nami shook her head agreeing with the question. He looked up at the 3 of them in silence then smirked. "You don't need to fight." He then looked straight ahead as he spoke in a serious tone. " I can talk to them. Pirate to pirate." Nami looked down at him in fear. "That won't work." She spoke. "Why not?" Luffy questioned. Lili looked at him in shock that he is not realizing the actual situation they are in. "Are you crazy? We are not pirates. You are not a pirate. I'm with Nami on this one. It won't work." She spoke up agreeing with Nami. "I am a pirate. You all could be pirates if you join my crew." She shook her head at Luffy and bent down to his level. She spoke face to face with him, "No, you are just some stretchy guy in a tattered hat." He smiled as he looked at her when she spoke. "I'm a different kind of pirate." She shook her head and stood up walking to the other side of the box.

Lili didn't believe he was calling himself a 'different pirate.' She and Nami always believed that all pirates are the same in any kind of situation. Especially with the thought of pirates holding her own father hostage over a simple map that she couldn't even get a hold of because Luffy had swallowed it. "Pirates are pirates. There's only one kind." Nami but in with a serious look sent towards Luffy. Nami went to say more but the box started to open and it revealed where they were.
