Claiming Waters

Chapter 6: Time With the Girls

(Reader)'s POV:

The next morning, I woke up to a bang, the ship was being violently rocked back and forth. OH GOD, not a storm! I've already had one life ruining, I don't need another! My panic was halted by the sound of multiple voices.

"Do you think (reader)'s awake yet?" a muffled voice called out.

"She must be! I don't know how anyone could sleep through Luffy" a different voice replied.

I dragged myself out of the hatch, "s-stop shaking b-boat," I said wobbling. Looking out, I saw Nami, Luffy, and another new siren, a female to be exact. She had long black hair and striking blue eyes, similar to Nami, she also had a full chest. 

Nami spoke first, "(reader) you're finally up, I was worried you might have hurt yourself with this idiot swaying the boat" Luffy pouted like a child, annoyed by Nami words.

"Pfff, (reader)'s fine" he let out a huff. My eyes were drawn back to the beautiful new siren, she looked back at me with a smile. 

"Hello, it's nice to meet you (reader)" she said with warmth in her voice. Within seconds my nerves came back to me, as I attempted to form a reply.

"H-hi, nice to meet you too, are you a friend of Luffy's?" I asked. Luffy wrapped his arm around her shoulders, "Yup, this is Robin! She's a part of my crew" Luffy said with pride.

"Luffy told me all about you" huh, I wondered what he'd said, Robin continued "Nami suggested you might want some girl time". I looked to Nami for any kind of reassurance, hoping they were telling the truth, Nami nodded smiling. 

"I'd be happy for the company," I said with a grinning. "But wait, if you're here for girl time, why is Luffy here too?" I questioned. 

"Well, when I was talking to Robin about the idea of visiting you, we discovered Luffy was eavesdropping on our conversation" Nami pointed her tone towards Luffy, once again earning a pouting man. "He said he had to come with us to make sure we didn't tell any embarrassing stories," Nami finished. 

I giggled at the notion of Luffy being embarrassed by his friends. Most of the morning was spent laughing with Nami and Robin, the two of them are so smart and insightful, Robin knows the history of the seas and Nami knows how to chart the seas. Feeling left out, Luffy would occasionally try to get my attention by pulling on my leg or tapping the boat. I found giving him a small smile would settle him down, he probably just wanted acknowledgement.

"Luffy we better get going, or else Law will be pissed," Nami said, turning her attention to Luffy. 

He let out a sigh, "he's probably still mad from last time, last thing you should do is keep him waiting" Robin agreed with Nami. 

"Ugh... fine, I'm going. I'll be back later, okay (reader)?" I nod back at Luffy. I waved goodbye to them, thanking the girls for the visit. Waving back, they disappeared under the waves. Now left alone once again, I pulled out my fishing line, praying I would catch a fish and not a siren.

Luffy's POV:

Robin, Nami, and I were dashing, being late again was not an option. As much as I wanted to say with (reader), upsetting tra-guy was in no one's best interest. We swam into the meeting room, trying to not look out of breath. Law was already there, he had a stern expression on his face.

"Only 10 minutes late, that's an improvement over yesterday considering you didn't come at all," he said bluntly.

"Tra-guy!" I swam over with open arms, he promptly summoned 'room' making me collide with a wall. "Oww..." I said rubbing my head. 

Nami spoke up "hey, we're here now, and that's all that matters," Law scoffed then moved towards the table.

"I've been in contact with Eustass, he's begun heading West. No doubt he'll reach the archipelago soon" Law said.

"Ya and destroy it. If he wants that arms deal, then he better stay out of trouble" Nami said, with her palms pressed against the table.

"there is little chance of that. Having said that, If all goes according to plan, then we should be able to move on with the next phase."

"kicking Kaido's ass" I jumped in. Law sighed, "don't be so rash. If we mess this up, then will all end up dead". 

Law's POV:

Despite them being late, the meeting went fairly well. Together Nami, Robin, Luffy and myself formed a carefully laid out plan, which was better than Luffy's idea, which was no plan. After the meeting finished Luffy once again dashed off in a hurry.

"Guess he's going back to see (reader)" Nami said. 

Robin nodded, "I've haven't seen him this engaged with something for a while now" she replied.

 "(reader)? You mean that hallucination he was talking about before?" I asked. 

"Yup, but it turns out (reader) is real, Luffy's been visiting her everyday" Nami explained. 

"I'm not sure how (reader) feels, but I think Luffy really likes her," Robin directed her comment towards Nami, the conversation continued between them, excluding myself. 

This is absurd, 'is everyone sharing is his fantasy now?' I thought. I looked at the direction Luffy took off in, and after a internal debate, I came to my conclusion. I swam out, following the direction Luffy went in.
