A Lone Swordsman And His Archeologist

Monkey business

Nami sighed happily when the three men sank towards the fallen ship.

Luffy: Oi! Nami! There is a bunch of sea serpants down here!

Sanji: I could make so many dishes with these monsters.
You want me to catch some for dinner nami?

Namis eyebrow twitched. "No. Just look for treasure! And Luffy don't mess everything up!"

Chopper called out an hour later. "Oi! Nami! There's a ship headed this way!"

Usopp got out his telescope adm pointed it toward the ship. He's right Nami! It's...it's a banana?" The whole ship looked like a giant banana.  And on the front  of the ship was a giant monkey.

Robin smiled. "It would seem that we have company Nami."

Usopp stared in horror when a the monkey was lowered down into the water and released.

"Heave ho!" An ape looking man came out and spoke to nami from the other ship. "Who are you and what are you doing in my territory? Oh me? I am mashira pleased to meet you. He scratched his head. 

Chopper couldn't stop looking at the man. "Usopp...he he's a... monkey!" His eyes lit up. He's so cool! Chopper in his human form ran up to the ape man. "You have a cool ship Mister! What's that monkey used for?"

"Oh this? This is how we salvage ships! We lower it into the water and then use the hands to grab the ship to bring it to the surface.It can also let us breathe under the water."

Usopp looked at the huge ship. They can probably get that whole ship that sank into the ocean  with no problem!
Robin looked quite impressed in the background.

Nami looked frightened. Oh no. He's gonna see Luffy and the others when he goes down there!so uh you look kinda strange Mashira.

Chopper poked his head up near Nami. "Like a monkey!"

Mashira: I do like like a monkey huh?" He blushed like he was being praised.

He dived down under the water with the giant monkey following him.

*Luffy? Can you hear me? There's a problem!*

Huh? Nami? Ahhhhh!

Sanji: There's a gorilla under here!

Zoro: he's huge

Luffy: you look like a monkey!

Mashira: thank you. Wait who are you and what are you doing in my territory!

Everyone began to scream. And the line went dead.

Nami looked frantically into the water and yelled into the den den mushi. Luffy!? Sanji!?Zoro?!

Robin frowned. "I hope they haven't been eaten by a sea serpent." I hope Zoro is ok.

The life lines pulled tight and began to pull the ship down.

Chopper: Ahhhhh! We're going to die!

Usopp: It's the end of the great captain Usopp! Someone help us!

Robin walked toward the life lines and cut them.

Nami gasped and grabbed Robin.  "Why did you do that?!"

Robin looked into nami's eyes. "It was for the best." Zoro. Im sorry.

Nami: "What do you mean it was for the best!? They are....."
She stopped and looked up when a giant sea turtle came to the surface with the remanants of the sunken ship and

Robins eyes widened. It is a good thing I cut the ropes. The ropes led straight into the creatures mouth.

The turtle looked to be in pain. It was thrashing around alot.
Laughing could be heard inside the turtles mouth.

Luffy: Hahahahhahhaahahhaha! You got eaten by a turtle Zoro!

Zoro: Shut up! You got eaten too!

Sanji:"Now calm down guys. We have to figure a way out of here." He tried to light up a cigarette. Damn.

Zoro was fighting with mashiro and Luffy was sitting down clapping his feet together like an idiot.

Suddenly the turtles mouth opened wide.

Sanji looked up at the suddenly bright room. "Huh? I guess it got tired of keeping is in here."

Robins eyes widened in alarm. Zoro,Luffy,sanji, and mashiro all looked up into the sky and saw....huge humanoid shadow creatures standing in the water. Their mouths all dropped like the turtles and they jumped into Merry and began to row away as quickly as they could.

After they couldn't are the monster anymore they quit rowing.

Chopper gasped heavily. I thought I was a goner!

Usopp stuck a piece of straw in his mouth. "You know that monster? I beat 10 of them once."

Chopper: Really?! Usopp you are amazing!

Nami sighed at his antics.

Sanji looked around frantically. Nami?! Robin?! Are you ok?
He sighed in relief when he saw both of them safe and sound. Whoo. Now how is Luffy?

"Sanjiiii I'm hungry!"

Sanji smiled. Eh. I can always count on Luffy to be hungry.

Zoro yawned and took his shirt off to dry. Man. There weren't any swords down there. Hopefully the there will be swords on the next island we go to.  I wonder how that woman is faring. I got nothing better to do. Guess I'll check up on her. Zoro went to the top deck and found Robin sitting on a mast. She glanced down at him and smiled. "Have you lost your clothes Mr. Swordsman? If you have I can help you find them."

Zoro blushed a little and growled under his breath. Damn woman. I knew I shouldn't have bothered checking on her. He turned away from her and began to walk away. He stopped for a second when he felt something hit his shoulder. He reached his finger tips up and touched the wet spot. It was fresh blood. He turned back around stared up at Robin. "Oi. Are you hurt?"

Robin looked surprised. "Yes. But it is not life threatening. Unless it gets infected and I die."

Zoro growled again. "Come here Robin."

Robin chuckled. Oh my. Zoro is so gentle.

Zoro grabbed her arm and inspected the wound. It did seem to be a minor scratch. He led her to choppers room and began to bandage her arm up. There.
"Now get some rest Robin"

Robin Smiled at him. "As you wish. Oh and Zoro?

Zoro: hmm?

"Don't forget to put your clothes back on."
She blushed slightly and swept out of the room.

Zoro: Damn her! Why does she have to be so damn annoying!

While this was going on Luffy and sanji had found Mashira on the ship and kicked him off into the ocean.

Luffy help up what looked like a log pose. Nami. What's this?

Nami's eyes widened and she snatched it from his hand.
Where did you find this Luffy?

Luffy: The monkey guy had it.

Nami inspected it closely. Hmm.carved on the bottt isom was the name Jaya. Jaya?

Robin walked over to nami and smiled. That is an eternal log pose. It points to only one island.
But what about sky island?

Robin: It takes a few days for our log pose to sync to an island.  maybe on this Jaya, we will find a way up to this sky island.

Luffy sat on merrys head and pointed out to the ocean. To the land of meat! Jaya!

Sanji laughed. Land of meat. How the hell did he come up with that.

Chopper and Usopp were dancing. Sky island! Sky island!
Luffy soon joined them in their dance. "Sky island! sky island!"

Nami smiled at everyone. "Ok let's go everyone! TO JAYA!"
