Ferena's POV
The Arc of Wonder, still in the storm.It was now quite late, but I was still sitting on the sand underneath a rock overhang, safe from the roaring storm. The ocean seemed angry, threatening to drown all those who dared to step in it.
I smiled gently at the tiny dragon resting its adorable head against my thigh. He was green all over, ranging from a leafy green to a moss-like shade. He had two twig like horns and miniscule wings. As he was the dragon I had looked after since birth, I had been allowed to name him, so I called him "Wing."
He didn't like the rain, so we sheltered underneath the overhang.
I yawned sleepily and was about to close my icy blue eyes when there was a massive crash, possibly a boat crashing into the rocky beach.
I couldn't see as it was night, so I shook Wing awake so I could use his firefly like tail to light my way.
He gave a small growl and I was tempted to let him keep sleeping, but I knew I had to go see the boat, in case someone was injured and in need of help.
I picked up Wing, startling him awake and the natural glow of his tail began to shine.
To keep the rain off us, I used my dragonic ice abilities to make an umbrella.
I hurriedly ran to where I had heard the crash, Wing's body jostling in my arms. I nearly tripped over a few of rocks and I had to go through a couple of puddles, but I finally made it to where I had heard the crash.
Gazing upon the wreckage, I gasped when I saw someone lying face down across the side of the ship.
The person who I thought was a man had mossy green hair, the same colour as Wing's body.
I crouched down next to him and rolled him onto his back. I set Wing down onto the sodden ship and began to push on the man's chest, sighing in relief when he coughed up a stream of water.
The man groaned and slowly opened his left eye (for some reason, his right eye had a scar going across it.).
"Are you alright?" I questioned, startling him with my voice, which, I'll admit always sounded cold and unemotional.
"Who are you?!" He shouted, swiftly sitting up and reaching for one of the three katanas strapped to his waist, only to stop and wince in pain.
"Relax, I mean you no harm, and in fact, you should probably thank me for saving your life.
He looked confused then grudgingly muttered:
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." I replied, my voice as cold as ever.
"Oh, and to answer your question, I am Ferena Drake, archer of the Jeweled Dragon."
His eye drifted to my bare shoulder, flashing softly when he saw a tattoo of a large dragon.
"Well then, my name is Roranoa Zoro, swordsman of the Strawhat-" His voice faltered when he realised that there was no one else near us.
Zoro stood up, but was shaking on his feet, so I stood up as well and put his arm over my shoulder to support him.
He flinched slightly at the touch of my freezing skin but said nothing. Zoro seemed to accept my help and together we made our way down the ship.
Wing jumped excitedly by my side, chirping and pulling the end of my chillingly blue hair.
"What is it?" I asked, speaking in dragontongue.
Zoro looked suprised as I began communicating with Wing in a series of short chirps and clicks.
I turned back to Zoro and said that Wing had found one of his crewmates. He simply nodded, still surprised at my chat with Wing.
Since the ship was flipped on its side, I made stairs to get off the side and onto the ground.
Zoro winced at the movements and that was when I noticed that his other arm was holding his side, where his ribs were.
"Are you alright?" I inquired.
"I'll be fine." He muttered.
That seemed to mark the end of that conversation, so I started to steadily walk down the stairs.
When we were at the bottom of the stairs and on the ground, I took his arm off of my shoulders and helped him to sit against the now vertical main deck.
"Thanks." He mumbled.
"No problem."
I turned my head when Wing squawked and I saw that he was standing by a young orange haired girl who was face down in the doorway of a room.
I ran over to her and shook her awake. Thankfully, that didn't take long as she was already conscious. She was startled when she saw me and I hurriedly introduced myself.
"I'm Nami, navigator of the Strawhat crew." She said, still sounding suspicious.
"Oh, so you're with Mr Roranoa over there." I said, nodding at where Zoro was sitting.
"Zoro!" Nami cried and she ran over to him.
Whilst Nami was quietly talking to Zoro, I followed Wing around the ship, finding seven other people, four of them unconscious. One by one, I helped the three able-bodied people to Zoro and Nami. The blonde haired swirly eyebrowed man shouted
"Nami-swan!!" When he saw her.
I stood quietly to the side and waited until they had accounted for everyone in their crew, nine in total.
"Why don't you all come with me back to our hideout and our crew can give you proper medical care?" I softly asked.
They all were startled and turned to stare at me, except for the man who started to do a weird "noodle dance."
The crew conversed quietly for a minute then Nami turned back to me.
"We'll come with you."
"Alright." I replied.
What they didn't know was that Triss had been waiting for several years to meet the famed Strawhat crew.
The man named Sanji asked:
"So where is your hideout?"
