Chapter 13: Disaster Strikes

Nami slowly opened her eyes. She turned her head and gazed
into Luffy�s peaceful and beautiful sleeping face. He had his arms wrapped
around her with one of his legs thrown over her. His skin felt so warm against
hers. She reached over and gently caressed his face. Then she tucked his hair
behind his ear. She tilted her head back to look at the clock. She gasped as
her eyes widened. It was already morning. Luffy groaned and stirred in his
sleep. He slowly opened his eyes and began to blink.

Nami tried to move, and then winced in pain. �Ouch!� she
cried.

Luffy�s eyes flew open. �Are you alright?� he asked as he
sat up.

�I�I think so�� she replied as she cringed from the pain.

�What�s wrong?� he asked as he frowned.

�I think�twice may have been over doing it�� she replied
quietly as she blushed. She quickly turned to him as he chuckled softly. �Why
you�!� she seethed as she grabbed a pillow and tossed it at him.

�Oi!� he exclaimed as he began to laugh. He fell backwards
bringing her down with him.

�It�s morning you know�� she said down to him as she began
pecking his lips multiple times.

�Mmm�� he hummed not really caring.

�Did you hear me?� she asked as she pulled on his lower lip
with hers.

�Mmm hmm�� he replied.

�The others probably know where we are�� she said.

�Mmm hmm�� he replied.

�Are you even listening to me?� she asked as she pulled away
from him and frowned down at him.

�Yup...� he replied with a wide smile.

�We are going to have to face them�� she said.

�Yup�� he replied again as his smile turned into a grin.
Nami pursed her lips as she grabbed the pillow and smother it into his face.
She could hear his muffled cries from under it. He lurched up and then shoved
her down into the bed as the pillow fell to the floor. She squealed in mirth as
he did. He began to kiss her throat and neck.

�Oh no you don�t! I need to
recover!� she exclaimed as she pushed him off of her. She giggled at the growl
he made. She climbed out of the bed and began looking for her clothes.

�Oi�Nami��

Nami turned to see Luffy staring down at the sheets. She
looked at where he was looking. There was blood on the sheets. �What did you
expect�? It was my first time�You took my virginity, Luffy�� she said quietly
with a gentle smile.

She narrowed her eyes at his smug smile. �Yeah, you would be
happy about that, wouldn�t you�?� she said quietly as she threw his clothes at
him. She laughed as they hit his face.

He chuckled as he began to put his clothes back on. �You
were my first too�Nami�� he admitted quietly. Nami inhaled sharply as she
turned to him. He was staring back at her seriously. She had�been afraid
that�even though�she had said she had been rejected�She felt tears sting her
eyes. She lunged forward and leapt onto the bed knocking him down. �Oi!� he
cried while laughing as she kissed his face.

�I�m so glad�� she whispered.

�I guess I should have told you sooner�� he said as she
moved away from him.

Smiling warmly down at him, she shook her head. �It�s okay��
she whispered. �I�m sorry that I�� she started to say.

�You couldn�t have possibly known�� he said gently,
interrupting her. She smiled warmly down at him before kissing him one last
time, and then getting up to finish dressing.

�I think I�m going to take a quick shower.� she said as she
walked toward the door. She opened it and then turned to him. �Care to join
me?� she asked as she hooded her eyes and smiled at him seductively. He grinned
as he jumped out of the bed. He didn�t bother to put his shirt back on.

----

On the walk back, it took all of Nami�s endurance not to
walk funny. She growled in irritation as he chuckled at her. She should never
have let it happen again while they were in the bathroom. Sure it was
great�Okay it was magnificent�However, now she was regretting it. �Stuff it!�
she yelled in irritation as he chuckled again.

�I thought I already did�� he said innocently with just as
wide and innocent eyes.

Nami growled again as she slapped him in the back of the
head. �That�s not funny!� she yelled.

He only laughed harder. �Want me to carry you?� he asked
with a grin.

�No I do not�� she replied as she closed her eyes and looked
away from him. She was only rewarded with another chuckle. It was ironic. This
entire time since the day she first met Luffy, she had thought he was the na�ve
one. She had come to realize after meeting Jin and seeing him now, that it was they
who were the na�ve ones. Luffy knew a lot more than he let on, and it turns
out, is a really good actor to boot. She glanced over at him. She had also cut
his hair while they were bathing together. He looked like his usual self again,
other than the fact that he had more scars now.

They made their way back to the hotel. �I�m sure everyone is
eating breakfast by now�� she said quietly with a pained expression.

�Aa�� replied Luffy as they both made their way to the
banquet room. Luffy opened the door and they both stepped inside. Everyone
stopped eating to turn and look toward them both. Nami felt her face grow hot
as she looked away from their stares. �Aha!� laughed Luffy as he ran in and sat
down. He immediately began to stuff his face. Nami took a seat next to him and
began to eat. Then she narrowed her eyes. �It�s so easy for you�isn�t it�? I
wish I could feign naivety�� she thought as she shifted her narrowed eyes to
him.

He was still stuffing his face and fighting with Usopp and
Chopper. She sighed and continued to eat. Mild conversation had resumed after
awhile. After breakfast, everyone left the banquet room. �To the theme park!!�
exclaimed Luffy loudly.

�To the theme park!!� repeated Usopp and Chopper.

�Are you feeling better today?� asked Sanji not looking at
Luffy.

�Aa, I feel great!� he exclaimed.

�I bet you do�� everyone but Chopper thought.

�Are you sure it won�t be too much of an exertion on him
Chopper?� asked Zoro with a raised brow. Luffy pursed his lips at Zoro.

Chopper shook his head with s smile. �Mmm�He should be just
fine! He�s recovering quickly! As long as he doesn�t over do it or get into a
fight�he should be just fine!� he exclaimed happy.

�Or do �other� activities that might�over exert him.�
remarked Zoro.

Everyone looked away from Luffy not being able to look him
in the eye at Zoro�s remark. Nami felt her entire face grow hot from
embarrassment. Luffy stared at Zoro wide eyed. �Eh?! Other activities?! What other activities?! Are they fun?!� he
exclaimed with a massive grin on his face. Nami quickly reached over and
smacked him in the back of the head. She had her eyes closed and her face
expressionless.

�Ow, Nami!!
What�d you hit me for?!� he yelled.

She slowly opened her eyes and shifted them towards him with
a glare. He was pouting angrily at her. Then, as quickly as it came it was
gone. He gave her a smug smirk before grinning and laughing and then running
off. �Theme park!!� he yelled as Chopper and Usopp ran after him. Everyone else
stayed where they were.

�I think he�s broken�I suggest we take him back and get a
new one��

Everyone chuckled at Nami�s obviously irritated suggestion.
Desini only smiled. She may have been sad at first, but now�she was okay with
this. The two obviously belonged together. She was just happy she got to meet
him, and his Nakama, and now he considered her one of them. That was enough for
her. He considered her�part of his family. He has given her a family once
again. �Desini-chan! Are you coming?!� called Sanji
with hearts in his eyes. She smiled warmly as everyone stopped walking and
turned to her.

�Oi, Desi!! Come on!! You can show them how good you are
with the shooting ranges!!� exclaimed Luffy from a distance away.

�Oh! Shooting! I can hit a target from miles away!!�
exclaimed Usopp. Although, this may actually be true.

Smiling wider, she began to run towards them. �Un! I will win again!!� she exclaimed as she began to
laugh.

�Aa!!� exclaimed Usopp, Chopper, and Luffy. She run up
beside them and they ran together to find a carriage. They rode in two separate
carriages to get to the other side of the city. �Hoohoo!�
exclaimed Usopp as the theme park came into view.

�It�s huge!!� exclaimed Chopper cheerfully.

�Aa!! I wonder why you guys didn�t
come before?!� exclaimed Luffy. Then at the silence he made a small noise and
turned to everyone. Everyone was frowning and not looking him in the eyes.
�Oh�� he said quietly before grinning. �Well, now we can! Let�s go!!� he
exclaimed as he laughed, jumped out and then began to run towards the gate.

�Aa!!� exclaimed Usopp and Chopper. Everyone smiled as they
watched the three running. The orange haired Navigator remembered that day they
found out about the theme park. The moment they all laid eyes on the
advertisement, they had all turned depressed. It had reminded them too much of
him. All they could think about was how much he would have wanted to go, and
how much fun he would have had there. She cringed as soon as she set foot on
the ground and began to walk. �Damn it Luffy�.� she thought as she ground her
teeth.

They all made their way after the three and paid for their
tickets. The three ran ahead and got into the first line. They rode many rides
and tried many attractions. �Let�s play the games now!� exclaimed Luffy as he
made a run for it.

Each tried each game at least once. Many games were won.
Sanji and Zoro began to compete to see who could manage to hit the bell twice
with one powerful blow. They were both shooed away by a disgruntled employee.
Luffy ran up to Nami. �Here!� he said as he handed her a small fluffy fox with
a bushy tail.

She stared down at it wide eyed. Then she looked up at his
warm smile. She smiled in return and then accepted it. �Thank you Luffy�� she
said quietly.

�Shishishi!� he laughed before running off again. Desini won
at the shooting range three times in a row. Usopp won four.

He was completely amazed by his own ability. �Wow�� he
whispered. Everyone else was also amazed. Zoro whistled in a high pitched
whistle. �I am the great Captain Usopp!!� yelled Usopp as he posed. However,
now he had to carry around four prizes.

�There�s a carrier here who will send these back to our
hotel room.� explained Desini who was holding three. They made their way to it
and began handing the man their prizes.

Looking down at her little fox when it was her turn, she
shook her head with a warm smile. �Mmm�I want to hold on to this one�� she said
quietly as she turned and walked away. Luffy smiled warmly at her back.
Everyone else also smiled.

Suddenly, a hand clamped down on Luffy�s shoulder. Everyone
else followed after Nami. Luffy turned to the person who the hand belong to and
grinned. �What�s up Sanji?� he asked.

Sanji smiled at him with furrowed brows. Luffy�s smile
disappeared. �I understand that you and Nami-san are together now. I�ve learned
to accept Nami-san�s feelings about you ever since
she first showed signs of her sickness. After last night, I definitely
understand it and have accepted it. However�if you ever hurt Nami-san in any
way�I will make sure you stay dead next time�� he said in a low voice.

Luffy�s eyes widened as he stared up at Sanji. Then he
smiled. �Aa�I understand�I already promised her that I
will always protect her, and that I will always be there for her.� explained
Luffy.

Sanji made a breathy scoff as he closed his eyes and smiled.
He took a drag of his cigarette and nodded. �As long as you understand�� he
said before walking ahead of him.

Luffy watched him walk away, and then smiled to himself.
�Aa�I understand�� he said quietly to himself. He had great Nakama. He ran
after everyone and complained that he was hungry, so everyone stopped to eat.

Desini was laughing at something Luffy had just said when
she walked away to throw something away. Suddenly, someone reached out from
behind the building and clamped a hand over her mouth. She was dragged behind
the building. She tried to scream out, but couldn�t. She was pressed against
the wall with a hand still over her mouth.

�Shh�I�m not going to hurt you. I
come with a warning. Separate yourself from these pirates while there is still
time. If you leave right now�I can guarantee your safety. No one will ever know
you were with these pirates.�

Her eyes widened at these words. Then she reached up and
touched his hand gently. He removed his hand. �What are you saying?� she asked.

�I�m saying leave now�Walk away and you will be safe.�

She couldn�t see his face. He had a cloak on and a hood over
his face. �Are you telling me something is about to happen?! Are they in
danger?!� she asked loudly.

�Don�t worry about them. Worry about yourself.�

�No! What is going to happen?! Are�are the marines here?!�
she asked. She heard him make a noise from under the cloak. �They are�aren�t
they�?� she whispered as her eyes widened. She started to push away from the
wall.

�What are you doing?!�

�I have to warn them! I have to tell them!� she said in a
frantic voice. However, she was grabbed from behind.

�You can�t do that!�

�I can and I will! Listen�thank you for trying to warn me�I
take it you�re from the marines�You have to understand�I can�t allow these
people to be hurt�� she explained quietly as she pulled away from him and ran
back towards them.

�Che!� uttered the cloaked figure before disappearing into
the shadows.

�Everyone!!�

Everyone turned to Desini�s frantic yell. �We have to get
out of here!! Now!!� she cried as she reached them.

�What? Why?!� asked Usopp.

�What�s going on?!� asked Nami.

�The marines�The marines are coming!!� she exclaimed.

�What?!!� everyone yelled.

�We must leave, now!� she exclaimed.

�Let�s go!!� yelled Luffy. Everyone stood up and began to
run for the exit.

�How do you know about this?!� asked Zoro.

�Someone tried to warn me�They told me to leave�The warning
was meant only for me�There was no way I was going to just walk away!!� she
explained.

Luffy grinned. �Thanks!� he exclaimed. As he said this, his
vision began to blur. He made a soft noise as he almost tripped.

�Luffy!� cried Nami as she stopped running. Then her eyes
widened. �He�s pale!� she exclaimed.

�Eh?!� exclaimed Chopper as he ran up to him. �Oh no! His fever is back!� he cried.

�Oi, now is not the time for a
fever!� yelled Zoro.

Nami turned and scowled at him. �As if he
can pick and choose a time to have a fever!!�

�I�m alright. We need to get out of here before��

�There they are!!�

Everyone gasped as they heard the yell. Marines were running
from the front and from the back of them.

�Don�t let them escape men!!�

�No!� cried Nami as she tried to help Luffy up.

�Damn�� whispered Zoro as he brought out his swords.

He, Franky, and Sanji ran forward as they began clearing a
path. �I have to fight!� yelled Luffy.

�No Luffy! You�re in no condition to fight!� yelled Nami.

�I have to�Nami�I promised to always protect you�I have to
protect you.� he said as he leaned forward and kissed her.

Nami inhaled sharply and her eyes widened as he did. Then he
quickly pulled away as he ran towards the others. �Luffy, no!!� she cried but
it was too late. Usopp and Chopper were staring at her with bugged out eyes. Luffy
just kissed Nami.

The four were able to clear a path. �Let�s go!!� yelled
Luffy as everyone began to make a run for the ship. However, the marines
quickly recovered and began to run after them. Luffy was panting as sweat
beaded down around his face. Nami looked at him in worry. He was paler. More
marines appeared in front of them. The four main fighters cried out their
battle cries as they lunged forward and began to attack. �Gomu Gomu no�Gattling Gun!!� cried
Luffy as he began to sporadically punch marines at a fast pace. Someone came up
behind him and whacked him with his club. Luffy cried out as he flew some
distance.

�Luffy!� cried Nami. However, a marine ran up and tried to
attack her. She used her Clima Tact to smack him away. �Lightning Tempo!!� she
cried as she struck several marines with her lightning attack. They were still
so far from the harbor. She was pretty sure their ship was the first to go.
However, they just needed to get there, and then they could take it back.

�Gomu Gomu no Muchi!�
cried Luffy as he used his leg as a whip.

�Santouryu�Sanjuuroku Pondo
Hou!� cried Zoro as a powerful wave blew away many
enemies.

�They just keep coming!� cried Sanji
as he kicked many enemies. Sanji was then kicked by a powerful kick. He cried
out as he flew some distance and hit a wall.

�Sanji!� cried Luffy as he turned to
him.

�Sanji-kun! Are you alright?!� yelled Nami.

Marine captains rushed at Luffy with
swords drawn. He quickly turned and scowled at them.� They began swiping their swords at him. He
jumped back dodging each attack. Nami was still turned toward where Sanji had
landed. He still wasn�t moving. �There�s so many�and they are so strong�How are
we going to get through this�?� thought Nami as she felt panic rising inside
her. Suddenly, more marines began to rush towards her. She gasped and quickly
looked up towards them.

�Trienta Flor��

Nami quickly turned to see Robin
standing beside her. Her arms were crossed and her eyes closed. The orange
haired Navigator turned back to the marines. Each had an arm sprout out from
them as each hand punched them. They cried out from the confusion. �Thanks,
Robin!� cried Nami as she smiled. The raven haired woman smiled at her gently
in return. �Lightning Tempo!!� she cried as she electrocuted the men Robin had
stalled. Then she turned back to Sanji who was about to be rushed. She ran
forward and began hitting them with her Clima Tact. �Sanji-kun!!� she cried
trying to get him to wake up.

He finally groaned and grabbed his
head. �I�m�I�m alright�� he replied in a strained voice as he began to sit up.
That bastard had really sent him flying. Brick crumbled around him as he
stumbled to his feet.

�Oi, Love-cook! Don�t go embarrassing us now!� yelled Zoro.

�Shut up, you carrot topped bastard!!�
he yelled in anger as he ran forward. He jumped up and spun around as he kicked
many marines.

Luffy punched another marine and
then slumped forward. He was panting heavily as sweat poured down his face and
body. He closed one of his eyes as his vision began to blur again. Taking the
opportunity, a marine commodore slammed into Luffy with his entire body. Luffy
cried out and flew a great distance before hitting the ground and rolling a few
feet before he grabbed the ground, stopping his motion. He groaned and lifted himself
onto his elbows.

�Luffy!!� cried Nami as she ran
towards the marine commodore who was walking towards Luffy. She didn�t think,
she only acted, screaming she jumped up and wrapped her arms around the man�s
thick neck. He cried out as he then moved around trying to get her off. He sunk
his teeth into her arm. She cried out from the pain, but didn�t loosen her
grip.

�Nami!! Don�t!!� yelled Luffy as he
stumbled to his feet. He ran forward and punched the man in the gut as hard as
he could. The man cried out as he doubled over from the pain. Luffy immediately
grabbed Nami and pulled her off the man. He pushed her behind him as soon as
her feet touched the ground. The man immediately recovered and lunged for him.
He swung his powerful arm at Luffy. Luffy reached up to block the blow.
However, he was weak and the man ended up sending him flying. Nami cried out
and covered her face. The marine swiped his arm, knocking Nami into the other
direction. �Na�mi�� breathed Luffy as he tried to stand. However, more swords
came down over him. He quickly rolled away, but stayed on the ground. He was
losing strength, and fast. He ground his teeth as he pushed himself up.

�So they were right. The great
Mugiwara no Luffy would be weak from the ability Commodore Senni
used on you!� said one of the marines before him. Luffy ground his teeth as he
glared at them. He pushed himself up further until he finally was on his feet
again.

�No matter how weak I may be�I will
never let you hurt my Nakama�� he seethed in a low and dangerous voice. They
all began to laugh.

�We�ll see about that, Mugiwara no Luffy...� sneered
another marine. They all lunged forward with their swords above their heads.
Luffy jumped back dodging each swing gracefully. However, he ran into a wall
from all the dodging. One of the marines quickly swung his sword down. Luffy
jumped out of the way and grunted as he hit the ground. He rolled out of the
way of another attack and quickly got up onto his feet. His head began to spin
from the overly quick motion. Unfortunately, because of this, a marine got a
hit off him. He cried out as he jumped away. His hand immediately went to his
arm as blood seeped through his fingers.

�Oi, Luffy! Are you alright?!� cried Usopp.

�Aa!� he replied.

�Kayaku Boshi!!�
cried Usopp as he fired gunpowder stars at multiple marines with his sling shot
Kabuto.

�Horn Point!� cried Chopper as he
began ramming his massive horns into his opponents.

Luffy quickly checked up on his
Nakama to make sure they were alright. Nami was already standing and fighting
again. He turned back just in time to dodge another attack. �Oi, you should pay
attention to your opponents, Mugiwara, or you might get hurt!!� yelled the same
marine who spoke first.

�I don�t need to fully pay attention
to you to kick your ass!!� retorted Luffy. �Gomu Gomu
no Pistol!!� he cried as he slammed his fist into the man�s face. He cried out
as he flew some distance, landing on his back and flipping backwards from the
force of Luffy�s punch.

�You bastard!� cried one of the other
marines as he swung his sword down swiftly over Luffy�s head. He spun to the
side to avoid the blow. However, the marine skillfully altered the course of
the swing and swiped Luffy�s back. The pirate captain cried out as he flew to
the side from the force of the swipe. He rolled a few times before coming to a
stop. He shakily attempted to sit up, but fell back down. �No, but you need
your full attention to defeat me!� cried the marine captain as he lunged
forward again. Luffy exhaustedly rolled over to the side as the man brought his
sword down. Sparks flew from his sword as he skid it
across the ground to swing at Luffy a second time. Luffy cried out as the sword
cut his face. He rolled over again and quickly stood up. He stammered in his
footing, but caught himself. He could feel the blood oozing from the cut on his
face and drip down to his chest.

�Oi, Luffy�s in trouble!!� cried
Sanji as he began to run towards him. Zoro quickly turned towards Luffy. Sanji
jumped up to attack the marine attacking Luffy. However, a massive club slammed
into him mid air. He cried out from the pain as he was once again sent flying.
He crashed through a window and kept tumbling on the ground, crashing through
multiple walls before coming to a stop. Blood seeped through each wound where
he had been cut from the window.

�Ero-cook!!� yelled Zoro as he ran
forward. However, a punch came out of no where sending him flying back in the
direction he had come from. Before he could get up, a foot was slammed into his
gut. He coughed up blood as he flew some distance before rolling to a stop.

�This is bad!!� cried Usopp.

Chopper frantically looked around.
�Where�s Desini?!� he cried as he looked around.

�Let go of me!! I want to fight with
them!!� cried Desini as she was being dragged by the same cloaked man.

�You cannot stay with them! You
would only give yourself a bounty for even being seen with them!�

�I don�t care!! I can�t let them be
taken!!� she cried frantically as she dug her nails into his hand.

He finally stopped and turned to
her. �You would throw your life away for a bunch of pirates?!�

�Yes, I would!! They are good
people! They don�t deserve this!!� she cried as she continued to struggle
against his grip. �I have the right to make this decision! I don�t know who you
are, but I appreciate what you are trying to do!! I need to go back to them,
please!� she cried as tears came to her eyes.

The figure stared at her for a long
while. �I can�t allow that�� he whispered.

Desini scowled at him as she
clenched her teeth. �It�s my decision to make!!� she yelled as she jumped up
and swung her leg across his head. He lost his grip on her hand. She fell to
the ground inelegantly from the sloppy kick she dealt. She had been restricted
and couldn�t kick him properly. He slammed into a wall and sunk to the ground.
She quickly got up and made a run for it.

�Damn it�� he muttered as he removed
his hood. He watched her run back towards the others. He brought his hand up to
his head and looked at his hand. There was blood. �She kicks hard�� he thought
as he stood up. There was still a chance he could save her. He had to at least
try. He removed his cloak and threw it to the ground as he began to walk in the
opposite direction.

Running as fast as she could, Desini
made her way back to the others. �I have to at least try and help them�Even at
the risk of earning a bounty myself.� she thought as she finally turned the
corner where the others were fighting. She immediately jumped into the fight.
She flipped onto her hands and kicked using both her legs sending many marines
flying. She ran forward towards where the others were.

�Desini!� cried Chopper as he
grinned.

�Sorry about that! I got�dragged
away!� she said as she frowned.

�Just as long as you made it back!�
he replied as he laughed. She smiled as she quickly punched another marine.

Luffy was breathing heavily as he
slumped forward. He had blood seeping through all of his wounds. He was losing
energy with each passing second. His vision was now constantly blurred. He
closed an eye as he tried his hardest to focus. �Franky!!� he screamed.

Franky threw the enemy he was
dealing with and turned to Luffy. �What is it, Mugiwara?!� he called.

�I need you to do something for me!
I need you to use your Coup de Vent on them�We will use that chance to make a
run for it!!� he yelled.

�Ryokai!!� replied Franky as he
grinned. �Everyone get behind me!!� he yelled. Sanji
and Zoro had recovered from their beatings and were limping towards him.
Everyone else ran forward.

�Where do you think you�re going,
you bastard?!� yelled a marine as he thrust his sword at Luffy�s back. He made
contact sinking his sword into Luffy�s back. Luffy cried out loudly from the
pain and stumbled forward. He gained his balance as he growled in irritation.
He quickly turned and slammed his fist into the marine who had stabbed him.
Then he turned and continued to run towards Franky.

�Coup de�Vent!!� he yelled as he sucked up a great deal of air, and then
sent it back towards the massive marine force. They cried out as they flew away
a great distance, slamming into buildings or just getting blown away.

�Let�s make a run for it!!� cried
Usopp as everyone began to run. Luffy ground his teeth from the pain on his
back. However, he managed to keep up with everyone�s speed. No one had even
noticed the marine who had stabbed him. It was better not to worry them. He
would just wait until they were at a safe distance away from this island. His
vision was getting worse. He tripped and stumbled, but managed to stay on his
feet.

�Luffy, are you alright?!� asked
Nami in concern.

�Aa�don�t
worry about me! Concentrate on getting out of here!� he replied. She nodded and
then turned forward as they continued to run. Luffy quickly looked behind him
as he heard shouting. The marines were some distance away, but they were still
being chase. �Faster!!� he yelled as he turned forward.

Everyone�s speed picked up as they
continued to run. The shouting was becoming quieter. After awhile, and after
the harbor was finally coming into view, a figure stepped out in front of them.
Everyone came to a dead stop. �Oi, get out of the way!!� yelled Sanji.

�I�m sorry�I can�t do that just
yet��

Desini�s eyes widened. �You�� she
whispered. He turned to her. �It was you! You were the one who tried to get me
away from them�Wasn�t it��Jin�?� she said.

�E�h?!� everyone exclaimed.

�Wait a minute!! Jin?! This
guy�is�?� started Usopp.

Desini turned to Luffy who was
staring at her with furrowed brows. �This is�Jin�The man I named you after��
she explained.

The brown haired, blue eyed
extremely handsome man scoffed as he smirked. �Wow�you actually named him after
me?� he asked.

She turned and scowled at him.
�Don�t let it go to your head!!� she retorted.

�It�s you!�

Everyone made a noise as they turned
to Robin. Her eyes were wide. �You�re the one who gave me that book�� she said
quietly.

�Eh?! Are you serious?!� exclaimed Usopp in disbelief.

�Aa�I gave
you the book�I couldn�t very well allow this man to die before he faced
justice!� he said.

Everyone scowled at him. �Jin you
don�t understand! These are good people! The World Government is wrong about
them!! They don�t deserve this!! Justice will not be served if these people are
harmed!! They helped protect many!!� cried Desini.

Jin narrowed his eyes at her. �You
honestly believe that?� he asked her.

�Yes, I do!� she replied.
�Please�let them pass�� she whispered. Usopp screeched as he began to hear the
oncoming marines from behind. Everyone turned to seem them running towards
them.

Desini quickly turned around.
�Please Jin! Don�t do this!!� she cried.

�If he won�t move�then we�ll make
him move!!� cried Sanji as he ran forward. He brought his leg down for a kick.
Suddenly, Jin vanished. Sanji made a loud exclamation in disbelief as he only
made contact with the ground. Suddenly, a blade slowly rose up to his throat.

He made a loud noise in surprise.
�I�m afraid, you can�t make me do anything.� he said quietly.

�Santouryu�Oni Giri!� cried Zoro. However,
he vanished again. Zoro�s attack hit Sanji instead.

�Sanji-kun!!� cried Nami. Sanji
cried out as he flew back.

�You bastard!!� yelled Luffy
angrily. However, his strength was almost gone. He tried to move, but swayed on
his feet. Jin appeared next to Luffy. He brought his sword up to his throat.

�No Luffy!!� cried Nami as she
started to run forward. However, Franky grabbed her and pulled her to him. �Let
me go!!� she cried. She was becoming frantic, her eyes wild.

�Jin, please don�t!!� cried Desini
as she ran toward him. She stopped just in front of him. �I beg you�let them
go�� she pleaded.

�You of all people are siding with
pirates?� he asked.

�I know what you are saying�but you
have to understand�these people aren�t the same!� she cried. She shifted her
eyes to just beside him. The marines were getting closer. �Please�please I beg
you�let him go�� she whispered as tears began to flow from her eyes.

�I will let them go on one
condition�� he said in a low voice.

�Alright�� she replied.

�You must stay here�� he said.

�What?! No way! She�s our Nakama!! I won�t allow you to take her!!�
cried Luffy as he began to struggle.

�Alright�I accept�� she replied.

�Desi, no!!� cried Luffy.

�It�s alright�She won�t be harmed or
turned in. I will make sure she is released without punishment. She will be
able to continue her life as a bounty hunter.� reassured Jin. He removed his
sword from Luffy�s throat. Luffy elbow Jin in the gut.

�Luffy!!� everyone cried.

�That�s for Sanji�� said Luffy in a
low voice. Then he turned to the others. �Let�s go!!� he cried as everyone
began to run. Luffy stopped next to Desini and frowned. She was still crying.

�Thank you�for everything�Thank you
for giving me a family again�I�m just sorry�I couldn�t remain in your family��
she said.

�What are you talking about�? You
will always be our Nakama�� he said as he wiped away her tears. Her face
contorted as she cried harder and threw herself into him in a hug.

�Thank you so much!� she cried as
she held him tightly.

�Aa�We will meet again�� he said as
they pulled away from one another.

�Luffy�we have to go!!� cried Usopp
as he was eyeing the many marines who were getting closer. Then he turned and
began to run with the others. After awhile, the many marines ran past them.

�I�m sorry�� whispered Jin.

�It�s alright�You�re right�I�ve learned
a great deal from them. I can be better at my job because of them.� she
explained as she watched until she could no longer see them. She frowned sadly
as tears spilled over. She lowered her gaze to the ground, and then gasped.

Jin looked over at her. She was
staring at the ground with wide eyes and her face was quickly losing color. He
looked down and then furrowed his brows. There was a pool of blood at her feet.
No one had even noticed. Desini quickly looked up and began to run. �Wait!� he
called as he ran after her.

�No�no�no�� she thought as she ran
as fast as she could.

The crew finally made it to their
ship, and just as Nami thought, there were many marines aboard it. �We have to
clear the ship!!� she yelled as everyone climbed, or jumped aboard. She heard
battle cries from her Nakama and from the marines. She finally made it aboard
and helped to fight. More marines were trying to climb up the ship. She and
Robin tried to prevent them from getting aboard. Then, Nami heard screaming.
She quickly looked up to see Desini standing some distance away. She was
yelling something, but she couldn�t hear over the fighting. Desini tried to run
forward however, that same marine grabbed her from behind and was holding onto
her as she struggled.

Nami frowned. �What�s wrong with
her�?� she thought. She could barely make out the words. �Check�Luffy�there
was�� she frowned again. She guessed she was just worried.

Desini struggled against Jin. �Let
me go!!� she yelled. �Check for wounds on Luffy!!! He was injured badly!! There
was blood!!� she cried over the battle cries and clanking metal.

�You can�t go over there!! You would
be drawn into the battle! You will remain safe as long as you stay here!� said
Jin loudly as he tried to keep her calm.

�I don�t care about any of that!!
He�s hurt badly! He shouldn�t be fighting!!� she cried as she became
hysterical.

�I�m sure he will be just fine! Stop
struggling!� he said.

�No!! I have to tell them!!� she
yelled.

�What good would it do?! They are in
the middle of a battle!� he reminded her.

She began to relax. However, he
didn�t release her.

�Franky!! We need to get out of
here!� yelled Nami.

�Ryokai!� he replied as he went
below. He equipped himself and the ship with cola. He began to preparation for
the Coup de Bust. Above deck, the crew fought to keep as many marines
off the ship as possible, by tossing them over the side and into the sea. After
preparations were made, Franky spoke into the intercom. �Preparations are done!
Hold on to something!� he yelled. Everyone grabbed a hold of something, while
trying to continue fighting. �Coup de�Bust!!�
yelled Franky as he blew the air into the ship.

Marine men cried out as the ship lurched forward at a
blinding speed and then flew up into the air. Many who were not holding on flew
off the ship and plummeted down to the sea below. Luffy ground his teeth as he
tried to keep his grip. The ship finally landed. They fought off the rest of
the marines and then immediately set a course. They knew marines ships would be
coming soon. Nami immediately began barking orders to the crew. Luffy�s
breathing became labored. He could feel his adrenaline leaving his system. His
eyes were becoming heavy. He stumbled forward towards Nami, his vision�very
blurry. He slowly reached out a hand towards her.

�Na�mi��

Nami�s eyes widened. She had barely heard his whisper and
the long drawn out breath after it. She quickly turned just in time to see
Luffy falling forward. �Luffy!!� she cried as she ran to him. She fell to her
knees and lifted him up. �Luffy!� she cried again. His eyes were closed. Then
she noticed it�all of it�She looked up. There was a sickeningly thick trail of
it from over the rails. �Blood�� she whispered.

�Oi, Luffy!!� cried Usopp and Chopper as
they ran to him.

Nami�s eyes widened. Desini had been trying to tell her. �Check�Luffy�There was�� No�no�no�� she
whispered as she touched his face. �Luffy wake up!!� she cried.

�Luffy!!� cried Chopper as he finally reached them both.
�There�s so much blood!� he cried as he tore Luffy�s shirt off. He laid his
head down onto his chest. He gasped loudly as he quickly lifted up his head.
�His heart�s not beating!!� he cried as he began to try and resuscitate him.

�No! Luffy!! No, no, no!! Wake up!!� cried Nami as tears
immediately began to spill from her eyes.

�Oh my�� breathed Robin as a hand flew to her mouth. She
also began to cry.

�Damn it�� breathed Zoro as he ground his teeth.

�Luffy! No!! Please�please�don�t do this!! Don�t do this!!
Don�t leave me!! Not now�Not now that we finally found you!! Please�please
baby, open your eyes!!!� screamed Nami as her tears became worse. �No, no,
n�o!!� she screamed as she sobbed through her words.

�Luffy!! Breath!! Breath!! Breath!!!�
cried Chopper as he continued to pump his hooves into Luffy�s chest.

�Lu�ffy!!�
