From Strange Places They Come

A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed

Two days. We have been stuck docked by the Baratie for two days. In all honestly, I didn't mind, Sanji's food was great and it was amusing to see Luffy take so many kicks to the face. What wasn't fun were Johnny and Yosaku being even louder and more annoying than Luffy normally was. I couldn't even get them to shut up with food! Another thing is Nami's constant jumpiness. She looks to be in a daze most times, just staring at that wanted poster. I've asked her multiple times, just each time she says she's fine. I watch her tho, cuz I worry. Right now tho, I wanted nothing more to pass out, with Usopp's constant complaining and The Bounty Huntin' Bro's loud voices, I was at my wits end!!

"WILL ALL OF YOU SHUT THE HELL UP!! MIGRAINES ARE HARD TO GET RID OF WITH NO MEDICATION!!" I wail out, causing J and Y to stop being giddy little school girls on the first date. I sigh, then grunt, before facing back out to sea while leaning over the railing, arms dangling. At this point, I would welcome a sea monster and it's ugly teeth to pull me to the depths of the ocean. God, I sound depressing. I'm just gonna go to bed, this time, I'm snoozing on Nami's bed. Not even telling anyone, I head below deck, crashing on Nami's bed and with in 10 minutes, I was out.

Waking up on my own was the best feeling ever and the worst as of right now. It was the best, because I could stretch and taking my time getting out the bed and search through Nami's clothes for something decent. The worst, because I knew something was immediately wrong. In the past month or so that I've been with the pirates, sleeping in was not something I found I could do, and while it's nice, something has to be up. Quickly moving around to fish for something to wear, noting that I REALLY need to go shopping soon, I pull in one of Nami's skirts and a simple shirt with a green line across the chest. Sliding on my spare sneakers and socks, I force my way to the deck of the ship.

"Well, Todo, definitely not in Kansas anymore." I mumble. First thing I notice is no floating restaurant in the sea, but a island in front of me. It's a pretty Island, cute in it's own way from what I can see. I know Luffy and the others, as scatter brained as they are, would never forget a friend, that one being asleep or not. I huff, looking out and holding my hand over my eyes as a visor to scan if I can see anyone. While I see no one on the island so far. I do, however, see a small boat in the distance, and it seems to be heading right for the Going Merry. When it gets closer, I see Usopp, Johnny, and Zoro on board. I grin, finally someone familiar.

"Hey guys!" waving my arm in the air to get there attention. Usopp seemed shocked, then relieved.

"Peach! Did you sail away with Nami? I mean, Nami leaving us makes since but you see.."

"WHAT!" I was shocked. Looking wide eyed at the long nosed boy, what does he mean, Nami ran? I look all around the deck for said ginger, looking this way and that. I panicked, even more so when I saw Zoro. He looked, well he looked plain awful.

"What the hell happened! I sleep for a couple of hours and all shit breaks loose? What do you mean Nami ran? What the hell happened to Zoro? Where the hell are you going Zoro??" I was freaking out. Usopp and Johnny quickly joined me on deck after tying Zoro up. I was breathing heavily.

"Okay, explain." Usopp and Johnny quickly went in this huge story, which was probably only half true, about what happened back at the Baratie. Pirate Battle, Zoro's Pride, Fishmen, Nami running away. After calming down, slightly, I realize we had to look for Nami, that was apparently after this Arlong dude.

"Zoro's right, we gotta rescue Nami, who knows what could happen to our cute lil ginger!" I tell Usopp and Johnny, pointing at them. Usopp then declares he will take down all the fishmen, and resuce Nami. Only for him and Johnny to quickly run away when said fishmen spot up. I'm left there wide eyed and with a useless Zoro. Zoro being tied up and weak, and me being freaking clueless, end up being takin' in as 'prizes' for Aralong. Before I even realized, I was tied up too. I groan, way to space out Lucii.
