33:: Shinjutsu No Uta

:3

AN: oh shit im so sorry! Go back and read the end of chapter 32, now! I forgot a really important part and didn’t remember until 3:30 AM a few days after I posted it. Stop before you go on! I beg of you!

i drew the pic on the vid to the right. check out my dA if you haven't already.

~Rhythm~

“Well, I better get going,” I said, jumping gracefully atop the railing of the beaten Going Merry, “I got things to do and you gotta ship to fix up.”

“Wait what?! No you’re not!” Luffy said.

“Yeah, I am,” I fixed my fedora and pulled my bag higher up my shoulders, “Nice meeting you all! And thank you for everything!” I waved cheerily.

“As your captain I command you to stay on this ship!” Luffy yelled.

“Rhythm, don’t go!” Chopper cried.

“She’s not going so unpack your bags and sit down and have fun!” Luffy ordered. I jumped down.

“Luffy come here,” I reached out my hand to him and wiggled my fingers. He grabbed my hand and I pulled him over.

In a low voice, I told him everything. I told him how I caught a glimpse of Sabo and my leads on him. I kept it as simple as I could, since he is an idiot. When I was finished, he stood straight and pushed the brim of his hat down, a grin on his face.

“Do what you need to do,” he said.

“I’ll bring him back, I promise,” I bowed my head to my ex-captain.

“See you later, don’t die, okay?” his grin got bigger.

“Oh I won’t. I can’t be killed off like that. I need to go with a bang,” I grinned along with him, one side of my face fuller than the other.

“You are leaving? No!” Chopper cried and barreled into my legs, almost knocking me over. “Stay!”

“You can’t leave like that! I thought we finally had another female in the crew!” Nami pleaded. Or pretended too.

“Sorry, but like I said, I got things to do, people to see,” I un-peeled Chopper from my legs as he bawled into my arms. “Oi Luffy, do you still have it?” I questioned.

“Wha-? Oh yeah that! Uh huh, I’ve always had it,” he reached into the band of his hat and pulled out-

“Luffy! Where the hell did you get that aquamarine?” Nami wacked him, “You better not have stolen that from me!”

“No Nami! Rhythm gave this to me before she left years ago!” he stretched his hand out of her reach.
