x Pirate x (one piece fanfiction)

8. My friend the thief

We go into the restaurant after that. Inside I see Ironfist and his girlfriend sitting at a table by the window, guess they get served now...

"HEY !! Kor-...!!" before Luffy ends his word I'm kicking his face. No one tells my secret.

"Idiot." I tell him standing in front of him, glaring "Don't ever speak to someone about my secret again."

He looks confused and asks "Which secret? That you are a-" ...and my hand is on his mouth. -_-

"Yes, that one." I say sighning, I let him go and ask "Where is your crew? Do you want to introduce them to me?... Of course, Zorro I know." I say while winking at Zorro. He smiles.

"Oh, sure!" Luffy says. He points at the redhead "Her name is Nami, she's the navigator." Now he's pointing at the one with the long nose and black curly hair. "He's our sniper, Ussop. The captain am I and together we are the strawhat pirates." he ends his introduction with his normal bright smile.

The redhead, Nami I think comes over to me. "Hey, I'm Nami like our idiot of a captain's said before. Who are you?" she asks me.

"I'm James F. Kora. Why is he your captain if he's such an idiot?" I ask her.

"Because deep, deep down in his useless brain is a spark of intelegence in which we believe... and because he's Luffy, I guess." She tells me.

"Why is beeing Luffy an argument?" I ask her slightly confused. A name beein a reason to be a captain?

"It's not his name, it's his personality... like when he has his head set on something, like he always helps out, things like those make him our captain. He's like... the glue, which makes us stick together. Short, our captain..." She said.

"I guess I understand your reasoning..." I say rubbing my imaginary beard.

"Where are you from?" she asks me.

"From a kingdom on the grandline, I got kidnapped and came here..." I tell her my story short.

"Allright... So you're Luffy's boss?" I nodd. "How long does he have to work for you?" She asks.

"Untill he's repaired my roof and that's that. He broke it, he pays or repaires." I say.

"Good.... how do you even know Zorro?" She asks me putting her arms over each other.

I-I can't really tell her the truth... can I? I guess it'll be alright if I leave out some things. I mean... she wouldn't understand.

"I met him while I was traveling, we spend one year together... you could say he was my teacher. He teached me all I know about swordmanship." I tell her.. leaving out why I was 'traveling'.

Sanji walks over, he puts his hand on Nami's shoulder. "Hey Cutie, why won't you sit down and I'll get you something to drink?" he asks her, midsentence Nami throws his hand off... She's gotten an anime vain...

"Y-Yes, I would actually like something to drink." She tells him while slowly taking a few steps away from him.

I walk back to the kitchen... Sanji stays there, still fussing over Nami.

Nami should know about my secret... I hope Luffy really only told his crew. I just have to ask him tonight... Nami seems like a nice person to be around, I'm going to befriend her. I guess a female friend would do me some good, here on the ship where only men are around me...

"Crabe?!" I ask as I arrive in the kitchen.

"Yeah?" He answers from behind a shelf.

"Should I begin with shaving the potatoes or better do some cleaning?" I ask as I put on my black bandana, as I have even in my boy form long purple hair Zeff gave a bandana to hold it up while cooking...

"Begin with the potatoes..." He answers. "Cleaning second!"

"Sure!" I tell him and walk to my courner.

----------------

some potatoes later...

-----------------

"HEY !!" I hear Zeff shouting. Why would he shout, I mean he only ever shouts at Sanji...

Curious I rush upstairs, the potatoes lie forgotten in the courner.

His door is open. Mine is open wide, too. I-I never leave it opened. My secret could be leaking out if I did...

Anyway, I hurry inside. Once in I see Zeff talking to Nami, he's make wide gesticulations with his arms. My ears are deaf for a few seconds, I guess from the shock...

In Nami's hand is most of my jewelery... Is she robbing me ?! I-I'm getting confused more and more as the seconds pass by.

Nami points in my direction, maybe Zeff told her my secret..? Zeff nodds. Nami looks quite shocked at him, she suddenly frowns and asks a question, Zeff nodds.

As I'm beginning to hear again they look at me, I open my mouth wanting to talk, but no words come out. I just pause and stare at them, trying to tell them that I can't... talk.

They look pretty confused, I guess they can't understand me.

I shrug and start walking towards the bathroom. Maybe some wather will help... It's worth a try. I go in and close the door after me, I need some time to think...

I take a glas of the shelf next to the sink and fill it with wather. My thoughts are running wild. I'm trying to understand what just happened. It's hard to comprehend....

I sit down on the counter, put my head into my hands and think it all through ones more. Ok,... Nami tried to rob me... Zeff found her and stopped her... She questioned my jewelery... Zeff told her my secret...

I guess it starts making sens, but really ?! My friend is a thief ? I sure befriend the best people... -_-'

I drink and gurgle a little bit, I want to make sure I'll be able to talk once I leave the bathroom.

When I finished I walk over to the door and confront my friend...

--------

I'm sooo sorry. I really tried, but my brain got in my way, it didn't wan't to cooperate with me :/...

Anyways, I wanna thank asoomz for the great idea and I hope you had happy eastern ^-^...
