Chapter 16: Pulling back the veil to lost places and memories...

Four days later...

24 hours until Shanks scheduled execution...

“Zoro! Luffy! Furl the sails! We don’t want to be blown off course!” Nami ordered.
“Ussop turn the rudder hard to port. Sanji! Chopper! Make sure everything is tied down.
Vivi check below deck for any damage. There! It’s like we’re being guided!”

“Guided!” Chopper cried in disbelief as he was tightening the line attached around the
pots which held Nami’s mini orange trees.

“Nami-swaannn is so wise!” Sanji beamed at her as he assisted Chopper.

“LET’S GO! TO ATLANTIS!!!” Luffy cried from the crow’s nest he had just hopped up
to.

The Going Merry was currently getting sucked into a whirl pool but from the expression
upon the ship’s navigator’s face it would appear to be on purpose. “It’s just as the Eternal
Log Pose reveals - Atlantis is just at the bottom of this whirl pool.” Nami was saying to
herself as she once again checked the Log Pose to make sure that the compass was still
pointing straight down.

“B-b-bottom of the ocean she means!” Ussop moaned as he had to use both hands to keep
the ship’s rudder under control. “We’re all going to die!”

“Who’s this ship’s navigator guys?!” Nami questioned with a twinkle in her eyes.

“Nammiiii-swannnn!” Sanji replied gleefully.

“Then trust me! We’ll get there in one piece guys!” Nami grinned.

The ocean’s spray hit Nami’s face as the bow of the ship hit with the waves inside the
whirl pool but other than that it was almost easy to navigate. Nami still felt like they were
being guided...she could feel this pull...this tug...that had nothing to do with the whirl
pool seemingly sucking their ship down. It was more like a calling...she knew deep down
this was how to get to the lost island of Atlantis.

Nami looked over to see that Hawkeyes was sitting calmly on deck simply watching the
crew as they struggled to follow Nami’s commands with just the few of them. She
clenched her fists in anger at the nerve of his actions. He could have at least offered his
assistance but noooo he as too good to help the likes of them. She wondered for the 100th
time why they were letting him come along with them at all. I mean, now that they knew
Shank’s location they didn’t really need him anymore. But unfortunately Nami felt she’d
end up having to deal with him a while longer. All she knew was that she didn’t trust him
and would be keeping an eye on him...

Then there was Luffy...was it just her or did it seem like Luffy was avoiding her? That
couldn’t be right...there would be no reason unless...had Hawkeyes already told Luffy
about her past?! A frown formed on her face at the thought. No, he couldn’t have found
the time to tell anyone as of yet but when he did...Nami sighed. She shook her head, she
didn’t want to have to think about that just yet. Nami looked up at Luffy who was smiling
up in the crow’s nest seemingly carefree. Boys. Nami thought exasperated. Here she was
worrying all the time and he seemed to have nothing to worry about. She hated being
apart from him for too long she found, she cared for him so much, no, she had to admit
she loved him...and that scared her a lot sometimes.

She wondered how the rest of the crew would take the news. She would have to tell them
all eventually especially Zoro and Sanji...they would take the news that hardest she knew.
Even as she looked at the quiet swordsman and the womanizing cook she had doubts
about telling them at all. Did she really have to? Did she really have to choose? Couldn’t
she just have all of them? Nami stifled a giggle at the thought. That would be impossible.
To cause her nakama as less pain as possible the truth would have to be revealed sooner
or later, sooner being better than later.

They were nearing the end of the whirl pool now. It looked like they were about to hit the
bottom of the ocean floor when...

DARKNESS.

“Ugh...” Nami opened her eyes and looked around. Everyone else was sprawled on the
deck unconscious from whatever it was that had happened. She put a hand to her head,
she had a splitting headache. She heard someone clear their throat. She turned to see that
Hawkeyes had also regained consciousness. Nami stuck her tongue out at him before
going over to Luffy and shaking him awake...Mihawk’s eyes never leaving her.

“Mmmm Nami?” Luffy questioned when he awoke. He looked around and noticed
everyone was unconscious. “What happened? Did we make it?”

“Oh, I think so.” Nami smiled at him.

Luffy blinked back at her confusedly before looking above them...

“WOW!!!!!!” Luffy exclaimed jumping to his feet and succeeding in awakening
everyone else.

The Going Merry was slowly making it was down a gigantic glass-enclosed tunnel. The
tunnel was underwater and through the glass Luffy could see many different fish and sea
creatures swimming past. Oddly enough within this tunnel they were able to breath
although they were quite sure that if the glass broke their air would escape, the water
would fill the tunnel quickly, and they would all drown. The tunnel could be seen
connecting ahead with other tunnels which lead to gigantic domes. Within these domes
bright shining lights could be seen, an obvious sign of intelligent life.

Within the tunnel was a stream, which they were now riding on, it seemed to have a
current which was carrying them towards the series of domes. There was no wind now
since they were under water and Nami was glad for the current. A feeling of nostalgia
came over Nami as they approached the domed city. It all seemed oddly familiar not at
all so surprising as it seemed for the others. Had she perhaps been there before? Naw,
Nami dismissed the idea that would have been impossible...

“It’s so beautiful.” Came Vivi’s voice as she came to stand next to Luffy and Nami.
“Who would have thought that an entire kingdom would exist beneath the Grand Line! I
wonder what their government system is? Do they have a King and Queen? Oh the
possibilities!” Vivi positively glowed. She loved everything that had to do with
governments and social structures. She looked at Luffy out of the corner of her eye and
smiled. Yes, she still loved everything that had to do with being a princess. But there had
been something missing from her day to day life once Crocodile had been defeated and
peace had been restored to her kingdom. And when she finally realized what, or should
one say, whom, she had been missing - it came as no small surprise.

She had missed Monkey D. Luffy.

She had sent them a message by seagull to inform the Straw Hat Pirates that she would
be joining the crew again to participate in their adventures among other things once
again. What she hadn’t told them is why. Sure, she didn’t really -need- a reason to join up
with old friends again. But she did have a reason. Vivi had joined up with them in the
hopes of somehow convincing Luffy to come back to Arabasta with her, where they
could be married making them the new King and Queen of the sandy kingdom. But what
she hadn’t expected was this new sort of tension that had developed between Luffy and
Nami...something was definitely up. Vivi wondered whether she still had a chance and
doubted that she should have even bothered coming at all. I mean, if Nami wanted Luffy
well, he seemed really attached to her, there’d be no contest.

Vivi sighed, but she WAS a princess. Maybe she shouldn’t give up this battle for Luffy’s
heart so easily. What was that saying again - All is fair in love and war. She smiled. Yes,
she still had a chance yet. When there was a will there was a way.

Sanji was looking intently at all of the different fishes that were swimming past them...a
blue-fin...a yellow-fin...a purple fin...a spotted long-nose...there was just no end to them.
There were fish here from East Blue, West Blue...North Blue...and even South Blue.
Sanji’s mouth fell open. Could it be?

All Blue...

Nami noticed the odd expression on Sanji’s face and felt concern for him wash over her.
“Sanji are you alright?” And when he didn’t respond that got her even more worried.
“Sanji-kun?!”

“Huh? Oh, Nami-san you won’t believe but...I think this is All Blue.” Sanji admitted as
he continued to watch the several different types of fish swimming past the glass.

“All Blue...do you really think so?” Nami questioned equally amazed. She had thought
All Blue was only a legend but then again she hadn’t expected the lost island of Atlantis
to be hidden below the Grand Line and let alone...by the looks of things still inhabited.

“Sanji you’ll have to cook us something good with all the different kinds of fish we
manage to find.” Luffy beamed at him.

“Aye Aye Captn’!” Sanji smiled back.

As they neared the end of the tunnel just as they were about to cross into a domed area
Nami saw that it looked like there was a strange translucent wall in front of them.

“Nami-san?” Sanji questioned worriedly.

“No...I feel like it’s ok.” Nami said not thinking.

“Huh? You feel?” Zoro quirked an eyebrow at her.

“I mean, I’m pretty sure we’ll be able to pass right through it.” Nami blushed. What was
with her lately?

Soon enough the Going Merry was passing through the translucent barrier and into the
domed area beyond. They could see things much clearer on this side and all gasped at the
new sights that awaited them. Within the gigantic glass dome an entire city was enclosed.
It was a bustling city with many people walking along the streets and entering stores and
whatnot. Even though they seemed to have some modern technology they were dressed
in white robes reminiscent of ancient Greece. The buildings were also more like ancient
structures than modern ones.

The people too when Nami and the others got a better glance at them didn’t appear to be
entirely human. Their ears were slightly pointed - elvish. Some had what seemed to be
scales on their arms or legs. They wore shells about their necks and some of the women
had shells braided into their hair. Two women, who wore veils across their faces,
approached them swinging their hips in a suggestive fashion that promptly got Sanji’s
attention. Sanji was about to shower the girls with compliments while confessing his
undying love when Nami grabbed his ear from behind stopping him in mid-leap.

The two girls bowed in Hawkeyes’ direction. “We have been expecting you.” One of
them shot a look at the Straw Hat Pirates before giving Hawkeyes her full attention again.
“Your quarters have all be prepared as well as for your guests.”

Nami raised an eyebrow at this. “These two woman know you, Mihawk?”

“Why yes, they are old acquaintances of mine.” Hawkeyes smiled calmly. He offered
Nami his arm, “Shall we.” She promptly refused and followed after the two women on
her own.

The Straw Hat pirates were led to a grand building with two large front doors. One of the
veiled women walked up to the door and a small hole opened up, a piece of the door
swinging aside, an eye peering out. She leaned in and whispered something, Nami
strained her ears to hear what it was, but didn’t catch whatever the code word had been.
The doors then swung open and the Straw Hat pirates were led inside. Down a shadowy
hallway that sent shivers down Nami’s spine...their was an odd familiarity about this
place...

And then to the doors which lead into a great reception hall.

“You are the honored guests of our Lord.” One of the veiled beauties was saying as she
moved to open the door. The other woman mimicking her movements to move to the
other side so both sides of the door would swing open simultaneously. “You must meet
him first and then we shall take you to your quarters so that you can rest and be
refreshed.”

Mihawk smirked as the doors swung opened to reveal a darkened room. Nami hesitated
before Hawkeyes offered his assistance for her again and refusing it she made her way
quickly inside. She peered around trying to see through the darkness. Zoro coming up
beside her placing himself between her and Hawkeyes. Luffy and Vivi entered the hall
next followed by Ussop and Chopper.

Suddenly a glowing hand could be seen waving dismissively at a corner of the room
which was promptly illuminated as several candles became lit with bright orange-red
flames. The flames continued to spread to candles all about the room and soon the great
hall was illumed in the warm glow of candle light.

Lastly, the light came to fall upon the figure that was seated before them on a throne on a
raised dais. Nami gasped as the figure before her slowly raised his head, his piercing red
eyes boring through her. It was none other than-

Captain Bloodlust.

There he was in all his deadly glory intact although Nami’s eyes looked down at his
arms...which were no longer his own but a shimmery shadowy substance in the shape of
arms and hands. He must have found some magical means to replace the arms he had
lost to Dark Luffy during that battle that seemed to have happened so long ago. His
platinum blonde hair cascaded down his back, gleaming off of his dark robes, his black
bat-like wings were outstretched behind him making him seem more menacing, and yet
at the same time he looked like some sort of fallen angel turned into a demon.

The two veiled women walked up to stand on either side of Bloodlust and wrapped their
arms around his neck coquettishly.

Nami was so focused on Bloodlust that she failed to notice that her friends were
preoccupied with something else. Seeing that their eyes were all riveted upon something
she followed their gaze and her mouth dropped open in shock when she saw him. Shanks
- the Red-haired Shanks, feared and deadly pirate, known friend of Hawkeyes Mihawk
was strung up on a large wooden cross.

He was completely bare before them except for a loin cloth that hung around his hips.
And across his broad chest were gleaming red welts that were still dripping with blood,
fresh blood. Shanks had been whipped and by the looks of his current condition he had
been tortured as well.

“SHANKS!!!” Luffy cried running towards his childhood friend, mentor, role model, and
so much more.

Nami couldn’t believe what was going on. Why was this happening? Hawkeyes had told
them Shanks was here but then why....Hawkeyes! Name quickly turned to look at him
and saw a broad smile on his face, she had never seen such a smile on his face before, it
was cruel, menacing, psychotic, and pleased all at the same time. This was his doing. He
had lead them into this trap because...

“Captain Envy, well done.” Came Captain Bloodlust’s drawling voice as he beckoned
Hawkeyes forward with a shadowy finger.

He was one of the Seven Deadly Pirate Kings.

Nami suddenly had a bad feeling and turning her attention back to Luffy who was
making his way towards Shanks saw something...something was moving under him.

“Luffy! LOOK OUT!!!” Nami cried as she began to run towards him as well.

Luffy turned back to look at Nami but it was too late. From underneath the floor a giant
cage suddenly sprang up around Luffy encasing him.

Luffy however was undaunted. “Gomu Gomu no...uhhhhhhhh.” Luffy moaned as he sank
to his knees. “What’s wrong with me?”

“Luffy?!” Nami spun around to face Hawkeyes who was now standing triumphantly at
Bloodlust’s side. “You! What have you done to Luffy? Why are you doing this?!”

Hawkeyes looked back at her with emotionless eyes. “Nami...love, it’s for his own good.
He is trapped, you see, within that cage of Sea Stone, where no harm can come to him,
nor can he harm others. You see, my master Captain Wrath is the greatest pirate that has
ever lived. I am honored to serve him. But also Wrath has promised me something...and
for that it makes this all worth it.”

“But what about Shanks!?” Nami cried near hysterical. “He was your -friend-!!!”

“Ah, well yes, that friendship died long ago. You of all people should know...of course
perhaps you do not know. I found out all about it Nami. That day that I was to come for
you...and found that you were already gone. I thought you had escaped but then I found
out that someone had actually bought you your freedom. Who I wondered would have
had the audacity to steal you right from under my very nose! And then I found
out...Shanks. Shanks freed you and because of that you were lost to me. I never forgave
him nor trusted him after that. He knew of my feeling for you...how I desired you by my
side and yet he went behind my back to free you! It was the ultimate betrayal.”

Hot tears were now streaming down Nami’s face. This was all her fault...she had come
between two such friends as those. Shanks...and Hawkeyes Mihawk. Shanks had risked
everything to gain her her freedom. She remembered that day very well...

Flashback...

Shanks lazily draped his arm across Nami bringing her closer to him. She did not resist
but allowed herself to be pulled closer to him. Shanks...he was a different sort of man
than she was used to having to pleasure. Shanks...she always felt safe in his arms for
some reason, protected, warm, safe. He was the sort of man who didn’t just take pleasure
for himself but tried to return some of that pleasure as well.

Shanks...was the only man she had ever pleasured that had stayed the night.

This had made a grand impression on Nami since she thought that maybe just maybe
what they had shared wasn’t so meaningless.

Shanks instinctively knew that Nami was a caged bird, that this life that she had
unwittingly been thrown into was not of her choosing. That she was a prisoner of her
own mistakes. He pitied her and for that decided to help her.

“Nami...this life of yours is a lie.” He told her one night as they lay together after a
passionate session of love making.

Instead of denying it Nami replied. “How did you know?”

“You hate me...and love me a little bit don’t you? I can see it in your fiery eyes, defiance,
defeat, love, hate. It’s all there Nami...in your eyes. Enough of this, Nami. You’re much
too good for this life. Leave this place-”

“I can’t!” Nami cried out suddenly. “The man who owns this place is a subordinate of
Arlong...if Arlong finds out I have run away before playing off the debt I’ve come to owe
this merman I’ll...he’ll kill me and then Cocoyashi village will never see freedom.”

“How much is the debt?” Shanks asked raising an eyebrow.

“30,000,000 beli.” Nami sighed hanging her head. “I’ve only been able to earn about
10,000 beli so far but that’s not counting the money I’m putting aside to free my village.”

“A trifle amount really,” Shanks flashed her a wide grin. Their was this twinkle in his
eyes that made Nami suddenly suspicious.

“What are you up to Shanks?” She asked guardedly.

“As a pirate I happen to have WAY more than 30,000,000 worth of treasure. Tell you
what I’ll pay your debt to his merman on one condition.”

Nami could hardly believe her ears. “Really? You don’t really mean it!”

“Wait, little lady, you haven’t even heard my condition yet.” Shanks laughed heartily.

“Name it! Whatever it is name it!” Nami exclaimed placing both of her hands on his bare
shoulders and shaking him.

“Promise me you will never live this sort of life again...” Shanks trailed off.

“You mean never to whore for money again?” Nami asked.

Shanks looked into her eyes and Nami stared back. Nami nodded and Shanks let out a
breath he hadn’t known he’d been holding in relief.

End of Flashback...

Shanks raised his head weakly when he heard the name - Nami. He stared at her across
the room not believing his eyes. The young girl he had once loved and freed was now
here before him, a young woman.

Luffy was watching the exchange with confused eyes. Shanks had freed Nami? From
what?

“Luffy are you alright?” Vivi had quickly come to Luffy’s side and was kneeling before
him just outside of the cage.

“I’m fine Nami...I mean Vivi.” Luffy quickly corrected. Luffy failed to see the hurt look
on the princess’ face as Luffy returned his attention back to the conversation that Nami
and Hawkeyes were having.

“But Shanks...was your friend. He was only trying to do the right thing.” Nami defended.

“THE RIGHT THING?! BY BETRAYING ME AND SETTING YOU FREE SO I
COULD NEVER FIND YOU! DAMN HIM TO HELL!” Hawkeyes bellowed and Nami
flinched at the harshness in his tone. “Shanks would already be dead right now if it
wasn’t for Wrath’s orders. Shanks execution will be in 60 minutes when Captain Wrath
shall arrive and do the honors himself!”

“What do you mean?” Came Luffy’s weak voice. All eyes turned to him. “What do you
mean by Shanks freeing Nami?”

A malicious smile formed on Captain Envy’s lips. “Well, you see, boy, your friend Nami
here was a-”

“You BLOODY BASTARD!” Came Zoro’s voice. He was leaping in the air all three of
his swords drawn coming down upon Hawkeyes. Hawkeyes had his own sword drawn in
the blink of an eye, pulling it from the scabbard on his back, slashing forward to meet
Zoro’s oncoming swords. Nami shut her eyes not wanting to see when Hawkeyes’ sword
would slash through Zoro’s sword leaving him defenseless to only then be cut in half...

But then something unexpected happened.

The sound of steel clashing upon steel rang through the great hall.

Nami opened her eyes and was shocked to see that the two combatant’s swords had met
and that Zoro and Hawkeyes were in a deadlock. Hawkeyes looked just as surprised as
Nami did. “It seems you have grown my boy...but we shall see who truly deserves the
title of the Greatest Swordsman in the World!”

“My thoughts exactly.” Zoro smirked as he leapt backwards and prepared to get into a
fighting stance.

Bloodlust was watching the scene with a bored expression on his face.

Nami looked over at him in apprehension wondering when he would make his move.
Ussop, Chopper, and Sanji had finally gotten out of their stupor and were making their
way towards Luffy in hopes of freeing him and lending their aid to Vivi who was already
bashing the Sea Stone cage with her wire-weapon repeatedly over and over again but not
so much as making a scratch upon the cage.

Suddenly, the two veiled women flew into action. They seemed to be calling upon some
sort of unknown power as they nearly flew through the air towards them. One of the
veiled women landed in front of Sanji and quickly lashed out with her clawed hands at
him.

Sanji gracefully dodged her attacks before reaching out and grasping the veil she wore.
The veil flew away as the woman leapt backwards to distance herself from Sanji.

Sanji’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Talika? But how-”

The other woman who was approaching Ussop and Chopper removed her veil as well to
reveal -

“MELODY?!” Ussop exclaimed. Chopper looking equally surprised just so he didn’t feel
left out.

“How is it you ask that we are alive?” Talika mocked with venom in her voice. “After
you killed us it was Captain Bloodlust who saved us. He brought us back from the brink
of death and back into the land of the living.”

“He turned you into a vampyre?” Sanji questioned in shock.

“Correct. And I won’t take for granted this second lease on life to get my revenge!”
Talika cried as she rushed forward attacking Sanji once more.

“You pathetic fools! You will pay for what you have done to me!” Melody cried as she
pulled out a flute from the inside of the billowy robes she wore. “I may have forgotten to
mention I have eaten of the Song Song Fruit, and so have Devil’s fruit’s powers. The
power to manipulate sound, create illusion, and to do this. Song Song Wave attack!”
Melody raised her flute to her lips and suddenly a rush of air went past Ussop and
Chopper.

“Oh no!” Chopper exclaimed when his animal instincts tingled and he felt the oncoming
attack without having to see it. “Ussoppe!” Chopper quickly transformed into his deer
form and grabbing Ussop between his teeth jumped out of the way of Melody’s attack.
The attack went rushing past right where they had been only seconds before, where it
flew backwards and caused a statue that was behind them to shatter into several pieces.

Vivi was making pained sounds as her futile efforts to free Luffy continued. “Uh! Uh!
Uh!” Her wire-weapon came down upon the Sea Stone cage again. Vivi sank to her knees
in defeat. “I can’t...I can’t free you....I’m so sorry Luffy.”

“Vivi...” Luffy looked back at her with softened eyes. “Don’t worry about it. I’m sure our
nakama will find a way.”

Nami took one last look at Bloodlust before running towards where Luffy was
imprisoned. She had to help him! She pulled out her Clima Tact weapon and quickly
transformed it into its bo form. She leapt up into the air planning to bring her Clima Tact
down hard upon the Sea Stone.

Instead of coming in contact with the cage however she found that Captain Bloodlust was
standing before her with his shadow hands on either side of her Clima Tact stopping her.
“Let go you bastard!” Name yelled as she tried to yank her Clima Tact free from his vise
like grip.

“But of course, my dear.” Bloodlust laughed as he let go of Nami’s weapon.

It caught Nami off guard and she was sent flying backwards. She quickly pushed herself
up off the floor and stood to face Bloodlust once more. She wasted no time in
transforming her Clima Tact into its T-shaped form. She pointed her weapon at Bloodlust
before saying, “Cyclone tempo!” The X-shaped part of her weapon flew through the air
towards Bloodlust and was approaching him head on. However, he simply used one of
his shadow hands to deflect the attack.

The attack was sent hurtling upwards where it surprisingly went through a sky-light.
Nami looked up, having failed to notice the glass dome before. But she quickly had to
shut her eyes as the glass shattered and came down around them. She waited for the other
half of her weapon to return to her before attacking Bloodlust once more.

“I admire your courage but your strength against mine is laughable.” Bloodlust told her
giving her a pitying look.

“Shut up and let me kill you!” Nami screamed as she lunged at Bloodlust.

“Silly girl,” Bloodlust simply shook his head as he grabbed onto Nami’s Clima Tact with
on of his Shadow Hands.

“Damn it! Let go!” Name said while yanking at her weapon.

“Not this time.” Bloodlust frowned at her as he began to gather a shimmering white
energy into his Shadow Hand. It glowed, a myriad of black and white before Nami’s
Clima Tact began to melt...

Nami’s eyes widened in sheer horror...her weapon...her only chance at survival...

Was gone.

The blue metal formed a pile of melted goo upon the floor. Bloodlust ignored it as he
stepped into it and walked towards her.

Name took a step back.

What was she to do?

ooo

to be continued...

Stay tuned for next time: Zoro and Hawkeyes will decide who gets the title for the
Greatest Swordsman in the World, Vivi will continue to try and free Luffy while Ussop
and Chopper face Melody and the deadly powers of the Song Song Fruit. What will Sanji
do fighting against Talika? Will he finally have to put his gentlemanly ways aside? And
what will Nami do in her fight against Bloodlust now that her Clima Tact weapon has
been destroyed?! And who will free Shanks before Wrath appears and executes him?
