The Siren Seamstress (One Piece X OC)

🏴‍☠️️[31] Arlong Park Arc ~ {2}🏴‍☠️️

🏴‍☠️️Ch.31: Nami the Witch of Cocoyashi Village! Arlong's Prized Navigator!🏴‍☠️️

The al fresco dining at sea has calmed down now that Luffy has claimed victory of the last meat-on-bone, forcing the two to return to the table and finish off the rest of the food.

Well...as calm as can be when Luffy is abusing his Devil Fruit powers to stretch his hands across the table and nab some takuan[1] and some of Ula's pizza.

But this time, he's intercepted by a stab from Ula's fork on one hand and a quick grab by Yosaku for the other.

"Rule number one when dining with Luffy: Do whatever you have to protect your food. Boy's a bottomless pit with zero respect for other people's hunger." Ula relays to the newcomers among the crews.

"Hear you loud and clear, Captain." Ghin pulls his plate closer to himself while keeping his tonfas within reach, just in case.

With her point gotten across for the time being, Ula pauses her eating to continue with trying to break off the calcium buildup over what was thought to be a pearl.

The curiosity was gnawing at her, gems and minerals were a special topic of interest for her as well. But whatever is caked under this chalky-white buildup is something that has a firm grasp of her attention.

So much so that she's missing out on the one-sided game of charades Yosaku is doing with Luffy in order to prevent him from stealing anymore of his food.

Luffy, with more thought-power going into feeding his stomach than actual thinking, doesn't grasp the concept of Yosaku's gesturing.

"What is he trying to say?"

With his arm still in Yosaku's grip, he skillfully throws a takuan from the plate all the way into his mouth from across the table.

The boys, Pack members included, watch in stunned amazement at what Luffy can do with his abilities, especially to get himself food.

"Let me go, already." Luffy demands casually, continuing to munch on his food.

Yosaku swallows his own food so he can have a clear mouth to chew Luffy out.

"I'm trying to say that's mine!"

"Oh, really? And who decided that?"

"I did! I put it on my plate, it's mine! That's how it works."

"Well, I don't see your name on it anywhere."

Yet, as the two are childishly arguing over whose food is whose, the massive creature that has begun tailing the brigantine is fast approaching, unaware of the Sea King watching its every move for any sign that could deem it a threat to his captain.

Seeing the creature making no dangerous moves towards the ship or its crew, Caldur relays the information to the Wayfinder Captain through their mental connection.

🌊{Ula...That tail from earlier is here. Right beneath your feet, in fact.}🌊

Calder informs the Siren.

Ula pulls the glass of wine away from her lips,ignoring the hilarious show of Yosaku and Luffy's arguing over food.

"{I felt it, too. You mustn't consider whatever's following us a threat if you're just relaying it's positioning to me and not attacking outright.}" She responds, telepathically.

🌊{You would be correct. It's actually an old friend of ours from the Grand Line.}🌊
