Chapter 18: The Daughter of Atlantis

Ace sighed in relief as Wrath and the two girls disappeared. He then turned to face the
others.

“Ace you bastard!” Zoro growled as he lunged at Ace. “You let him get away!”

Ace put his hands up in front of him in a defensive gesture. “Wow wow wow you got it
all wrong. Just let me explain.”

“There is nothing to explain, Captain Sloth.” Zoro sneered as he prepared to launch one
of his deadly three-sword attacks.

Uh oh... Ace was thinking as he watched Zoro. Some guys just won’t listen to reason.
“Well, if you insist. I’ll just have to beat some sense into you then!” Ace was beginning
to summon his Fire Fire Fruit power as a red-tinged aura began to surround him. Zoro
likewise was being surrounded by a blue-tinged energy.

Ace was preparing to attack Zoro when...

“ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz.”

A trickle of sweat formed on Zoro’s brow. Ace had fallen asleep and now lay at his feet.
Zoro sheathed his sword unwilling to cut down a sleeping opponent, he did have his
honor after all.

“The bastard had the nerve to fall asleep in the middle of a battle.” Zoro complained.

Sanji looked sympathetic, but couldn’t seem to wipe the silly grin off his face as Talika
hung from his arm. “Maybe we should hear the guy out.”

If looks could kill...Zoro glared back at Sanji. “You have got to be kidding me. He is
obviously the enemy. He works for Captain Wrath...and now Nami and Vivi have been
taken hostage by that madman.”

“But why would Ace ally himself with such a guy...there must be some sort of logical
explanation for everything that is going on...it’s all so strange.”

“There is a logical explanation.” Came an unexpected voice. The Straw Hats turned to
face a now fully awake Ace. “If you would all hear me out that is.”

Melody stepped forward. “I for one am curious as to what this man has to say. It would
be irrational to start any unnecessary fights.” Melody looked pointedly at Zoro, who
flinched and let his shoulders sag. He had been itching for a rematch too.

“Right, well, it all begins with that day...the day Luffy got that scar under his right eye...”
Ace was saying...

Several moments later Ace was finishing his story. “And that’s why I joined Captain
Wrath, it was in Luffy’s best interests.”

Everyone was in shock at what they had just heard...it was all so crazy and yet it made
perfect sense.

“But what could Wrath possibly want with Nami and Vivi?” Chopper burst out with.

“I can answer that.” Came a soft, feminine voice.

The Straw Hats turned to see none other than Tashigi of the Marines.

“You?! What the hell are you doing here?” Zoro blurt out, earning surprised looks from
all those present.

“I came here investigating some rather odd rumors having to do with the lost city of
Atlantis.” Tashigi was saying as she stepped forward. “And it seems I was right to
investigate...the world as we know it could be in serious danger.”

ooo

Things couldn’t be more confusing for poor Luffy. He had managed to pursue Wrath
along with Vivi and Nami, but now he felt as though he were watching a dream...or
perhaps a nightmare he couldn’t wake up from. What was this familiar feeling that
seemed to haunt him and make him nervous. Was there something about this whole
situation that he should somehow figure out. Nami...his Nami would know but for some
reason she seemed to be avoiding him.

Luffy looked over longingly in Nami’s direction. She was there with Captain Wrath.
Wrath had taken them to a strange underground chamber where there were ancient ruins
and from the looks of things the place hadn’t been set foot in for hundreds of years. There
was a slight film of dust on everything and an aura of solace about the place. The place
would have been completed immersed in the darkness if it wasn’t for the florescent moss
that seemed to make the walls and every inch of stone glow with an eerie green light.

Luffy didn’t like the way he saw Wrath looking at Nami, his look was possessive and
filled with desire. He clenched his fists in anger. He was about to go give Wrath a piece
of his mind when he felt a soft, gentle hand on his shoulder. He turned around to see
Vivi. She was looking back at him with an odd expression on her face - confused,
trusting, searching,...and loving?

“Luffy...I need to speak with you.” Were Vivi’s gentle words. Luffy looked back at Nami
who was still ignoring him and nodded his assent. Vivi took Luffy’s hand in hers and he
did not resist as she pulled him along out of the main chamber and to an offshoot where
they could be alone.

Right when Luffy was going to ask Vivi what she needed to talk to him about Vivi had
already spun Luffy around towards her and had pressed her lips desperately against his
own. Luffy was in complete shock so he didn’t respond but nor did he pull away. His
mind was chaos. Vivi...is kissing me. Vivi is kissing me...kissing...her soft, sweet lips are
so soft, so luscious. Before Luffy realized what he was doing he was wrapping his arms
around Vivi and bringing her closer to him.

He had needed this - this closeness. He had been avoiding Nami ever since they had been
together because of this fear inside of him that he couldn’t get rid of that he might end up
hurting her somehow. But his intense desire for her had remained, like sweet torture
every time he would see her so close and yet so far away. And now as he felt Vivi’s soft
breasts pressing against his hard chest he was just about ready to lose himself in the
moment.

Was this what he wanted? He never noticed that Vivi felt this way about him.
Vivi...was...what exactly? His friend...his nakama. But obviously she wanted to be
something more...a girlfriend or...even his lover. Lover...love...this wasn’t the woman he
loved. The woman he loved was Nami...right?

As Luffy kissed and caressed Vivi Luffy’s thoughts were filled with her - his orange-haired navigator. Her touch, her voice, her heated caresses. The day he first met her, how
she had burned her hands putting out the cannon’s wick to save his life. And then later
when she had woken him up to fight Captain Kuro, she had injured herself fighting. He
had hated seeing her like that so...vulnerable. The feeling, this inexplicable, unknowable,
unimaginable feeling that he had when he was around Nami had only continued to
grow...

He remembered her there in the dirt stabbing her own arm and screaming Arlong’s name.
His heart had clenched painfully in his chest...He remembered how she had gotten sick
and even so she had been willing to sacrifice herself for Vivi’s cause. He had swelled
with pride and that -other- emotion again. He had tried so hard to make her smile, to see
that smile he loved to see, longed to behold again. He had failed. He would do anything
to get that smile he loved back.

He had fought through the harsh wind and snow for that smile. And when he finally came
to, and saw her again there it was, like the sun shining through wintry clouds. That smile.
He would do anything for it. He had made a promise after all, to never steal her smile. He
would die keeping that promise. He remembered the day Nami had gotten mad at him for
ruining a map she was making out of special paper...it had broken his heart when she
threw those harsh words at him. Her dream...he had stepped over it. He would never
forgive himself and was still trying to make that up to her.

The only way he could really make it up for her was to continue trying to make her
dreams come true as best he could. Their adventures together continued...through the
sandy desert of Arabasta...to the first time he got to see Nami naked...he remembered the
conversation he had had to have with her after that.

Flash back...

“Nami...I need to speak with you.” Luffy was saying beside a campfire.

“Shoot.” Nami said in a nonchalant tone.

“Alone.” Luffy explained earning a raised eyebrow from Nami.

“O..k.” She hesitated before standing up and letting Luffy lead her away from camp.
Sanji and Zoro shooting curious glances their way.

“What’s this all about, Luffy?” Nami said suddenly turning to face him. “Why can’t the
others hear...” Luffy had surprised Nami by bringing her into his arms for a close
embrace. Nami was about to pull away and bonk him over the head when she noticed that
he was trembling. “Luffy?”

“Never again Nami...promise me.” Luffy said in a low voice.

“Luffy what are you talking about?”

“Nami...you know, when you showed us...you know...and you said it cost us 10,000
belis?” Luffy whispered.

“Oh is that what this is all about? Well, if you want another look you can just-” Luffy
pulled back away from Nami and looked at her in shock. And suddenly Nami felt guilty
as well.

“Do you think 10,000 belis is all its worth?” Luffy asked her with such a penetrating
stare Nami blushed and looked down. “Well, it’s not worth it. It’s not even close to what
it’s worth. That...is priceless. Never again Nami...promise me. Never again.”

“Luffy...I promise. I’m sorry too.” Nami said as she hung her head and tears came to her
eyes. Why had she done that really? Was that her past coming back to haunt her? Could
she never escape what she really was - a whore?!

End of Flashback.

There it had been, that odd behavior of hers. Now it all made sense since now Luffy
knew the truth...she had been a whore. Before he wouldn’t have understood but
now...after having been with her Luffy understood what it was to be with a woman. To
have their naked flesh pressed up against you, to enter her, to taste her. Oh, he knew. And
how he hated the thought that anyone besides him had been with Nami. How he wanted
to rip anyone who had even so much as touched a single hair on her head to shreds. Of
course, that would have to include Shanks...Shanks...he didn’t even want to think of that.

Suddenly, as he breathed in the scent of the woman in his arms a chill went down his
spine. This wasn’t his orange-scented navigator this was princess Vivi. Luffy opened his
eyes in shock at what he had just done. He looked down to see that neither he nor Vivi
were clothed. They were lying next to each other on the ground, naked, Vivi’s arms
wrapped possessively around him. What had he just done..?! He was about to pry himself
away from Vivi when he heard a startled gasp.

He looked up to see Nami standing in the doorway to the chamber a shocked and
betrayed expression on her face.

“Nami?!” Luffy cried but Nami had already bolted.

ooo

Behind Tashigi were several Atlantean guards, but these appeared different from the ones
that the Straw Hats had seen thus far. They wore a different sort of uniform all white with
touches of blue whereas the others ones they had seen wore robes of black with gold
accents.

“Who are they Tashigi?” Zoro questioned coming up to her.

“You really are clueless aren’t you. Don’t you have any idea of the civil unrest...the
threat that Atlantis is suffering from. I will assume from your blank expression that you
have no idea what the hell I’m talking about. Atlantis has been taken over by a deadly
pirate named Captain Wrath. The men you see behind me are part of the Resistance that
has formed against Wrath’s rule. But more importantly they are Protectors of the secret
of Atlantis, a secret which Captain Wrath plans to exploit in order to take over the
world.”

Everyone looked to Ace expectantly as if he had failed to clue them in on something
rather important. Ace bashfully scratched the back of his neck. “Well...I knew Wrath was
up to something like this but he said something about lacking the key needed to unlock
Atlantis’ secret. So really there’s nothing to worry about.”

“Wrong.” Tashigi said shaking her head. “This key...happens to actually be a person.
She’s a princess actually, and no I do not mean princess Vivi. It was 18 years ago when
Atlantis gave birth to their princess, Tsunami. But along with her birth there was a
prophecy surrounding it...there was an ill-fated star shining down on the princess’ birth
apparently. According to the prophecy she would bring about the downfall of the entire
world.”

“We, the Protectors of the secret of Atlantis, knew for a fact that the princess Tsunami
would somehow be able to unlock the deadly secret of our ancestors and in doing so
cover the world in a blanket of darkness and chaos. From the prophecy we knew that this
day would come on her 19th birthday, and so it was our job to carry out the princess’
death sentence...” One of the Protectors was saying. “However...it appears one of us
failed in their mission since according to Tashigi the princess Tsunami is very much
alive.

“The one who had been assigned to kill her was a fierce merman, who turned pirate. We
have not heard of his whereabouts since.”

“The princess...as you might have already guessed is none other than your navigator,
Nami.” Tashigi informed them. “And the man who had been assigned to kill
her...Arlong.”

“Nami?! Arlong?!” The Straw Hats simultaneously blurted. It was almost too much to
take in.

“Nami-swaaan.” Sanji moaned. “Is the key to the destruction of the world...that would
make her then...our enemy.”

Silence followed Sanji’s ominous words.

ooo

Nami ran and ran she didn’t know where her feet were taking her but she felt guided
nonetheless by an unseen force. She knew -he- was chasing her. She bit her lip to keep
from crying out in anger. She wanted it to be Luffy who would chase after her not Wrath.

As she nearly tripped she was forced to look up and saw where her feet had taken her -
the Going Merry. Nami quickly climbed the rope ladder and made her way aboard. She
felt herself drawn to her room and made her way inside. She was slightly surprised to see
the wardrobe with both its doors open revealing the mirror within...and there in its
reflection was her...or her other self.

“It’s you.” Nami greeted.

“I’ve been waiting for you.” Her other self greeted her. “It is time Nami...allow me to
free you.”

“I do...want to be free.” Nami choked out as tears began to stream down her face. She
couldn’t take it anymore. Her past...it had been her undoing as she had known all along it
would be. Luffy had found out and rejecting her had found what he needed in the arms of
another. Luffy no longer needed nor wanted her. Nami clenched his fists, her nails
digging into her palms until she drew blood. She would be free...free from her dark
past...free from him...from everything. This was what she had wanted all along.

Nami walked towards the mirror as the reflection of her other self reached out her arms
as if to embrace her.

ooo

“Don’t be ridiculous.” Came a calm voice. Everyone looked up to see Shanks, who was
still suspended from the cross. “And uh, can someone please get me down from here
already! geesh!”

Zoro wasted no time and with a few quick slashes of his sword made mince meat of the
bonds and the cross that had held Shanks.

“Thanks for that,” Shanks said as he brushed himself off. “Nami is not our enemy-” One
of the Protectors was about to disagree when Shanks silenced him with a deadly look that
promised much pain should the Protector continue speaking. “Nor will she ever be. We
have to believe in her...and in Luffy. But first things first we have to find them before
Wrath manages to unlock the power of Atlantis. Tashigi do you have any idea where they
might be?”

Tashigi nodded. “Yes...there can be only one place - the lost ruins of the Temple of
Mother Nature.”

“And luckily I, Raiden, know of these ruins whereabouts.” Informed one of the
Protectors.

“Good.” Shanks nodded. “Take us there, post haste.”

ooo

Luffy wanted to leave Vivi and go after Nami but Vivi had him in a vice grip. He looked
back at Vivi’s pleading eyes and felt awful for what he just did to her...he had used her,
his friend. He felt ashamed of himself and somehow he couldn’t get the guilty feelings he
could normally ignore to go away. He felt the weight of his actions upon his own
shoulders for once and he felt like he would die.

Luffy and Vivi dressed and in an awkward silence waited for Nami and Wrath to return.
Why were they just sitting their waiting so calmly, and patiently for that madman to
return Luffy wondered. Shouldn’t they be planning some sort of escape or rescue mission
for his beloved Nami? But as he looked back at Vivi and the calm expression she wore as
she patiently waited he was filled with doubts. He too decided to wait.

He didn’t need to wait very long however before Wrath entered the ruins once more with
Nami...on his arm.

Luffy’s eyes widened as he took in the sight of her. She looked...different. But it wasn’t
only her clothes that had changed, which they had, she was now wearing a long black
leather dress that clung to her delicate curves sensually, she was wearing makeup too,
Nami never wore makeup, Luffy frowned. She had blush dusted on the apples of her
cheeks and she had painted her lips in a deadly red.

It was the look in her eyes that worried Luffy the most. It wasn’t the same look he was
used to seeing when he stared deeply into Nami’s eyes...these eyes were hollow and
unforgiving, knowledgeable and street smart, deadly and sensual. His Nami’s eyes before
had been, hopeful, innocent, kind, caring, fun. What had happened to her? What had
Wrath done to her? Had he brainwashed her or something?!

“Wrath?!” Luffy accused. “What the hell have you done to Nami?”

Wrath simply chose to blatantly ignore him, like he wasn’t even there. “Nami, my dear,
who would have thought that you would be the key to my utmost desires. It was fate, you
see, that brought us together, wouldn’t you agree?”

“Yes,” Nami smiled back at Wrath with a flirtatious grin. Nami wrapped her arms around
Wrath’s neck and brought his face closer to hers. “Fate.”

Luffy’s heart clenched in his chest as Nami neared her lips to Wrath’s. Wrath removed
his mask so that he could feel Nami’s lips pressed against his own. Luffy turned his head
away, he couldn’t bear to watch as the two of them kissed.

“Soon...my dear, very soon. The dawn of the new day of your birthday will signal the
beginning of my greatest triumph!” Wrath was saying to Nami as he led her around the
ruins with her arm wrapped around his. He motioned over to a strange black obelisk,
which was in the center of the chamber. “Here is where the offering shall take place. You
see, it was your blood that awakened the forces in Atlantis left behind by your ancestors
so that the city rose from its watery depths again. That was only the beginning.
Now...soon the time draws near. With you help, my love, the power of Atlantis will be
awakened once again and together we shall take over the world!”

Nami smiled at Wrath’s masked face.

ooo

The Straw Hats made their way stealthily through the city led by the Protectors and
Tashigi. They had the keep their presence well hidden lest they be discovered by Wrath’s
minions. Now that the Straw Hats got the chance to see the city better Wrath’s influences
upon it were now clearly visible.

The populous went about their business in a subdued almost haunted manner, looking
behind them as if they expected an attack at any moment. Some would give the dark
robed guards a neutral look as they passed but then their looks would turn to one of
bloody murder when they thought they weren’t being watched.

In the town square was a statue which put all other doubts to rest that Atlantis was in the
clutches of Captain Wrath. The statue was of none other than himself, robed
extravagantly, and masked with that same strange drama mask complete with the strange
mark under its left eye.

The city for the first time in hundreds of years now had the sun shining down upon its
structures and people. It was during Nami’s battle against Bloodlust. The power that had
been lying dormant in Atlantis’ structures and ruins, and old power spots, had answered
Nami’s call for help and mysteriously the city had rose from the depths of the ocean and
was once again as it should be, beneath the sun and sky.

Once above the ocean’s depths Nami had been able to call upon the power of nature to
her aid. Only those of the royal linage of Atlantis were known to possess that power - the
power to control nature.

“It only confirms our suspicions.” Tashigi was saying as Zoro had finished his account of
the battle that had taken place. “The Protectors knew as soon as the city began to rise that
the Princess Tsunami had returned.”

“Everything is going along as the prophecy has bespoken...” Raiden said with a shake of
his head. He then recounted the prophecy:

The Cry of the Daughter of Atlantis shall be answered,

The City of Nature shall once again be bathed in the light,

The Daughter shall bloom upon the dawn of the day of her birth,

The Power of Nature shall once again awaken by her wish,

Mother Nature will take back what is hers by blood rite,

The Earth shall be consumed by her power and its fate shall be decided by her will.

“The princess must be dealt with if we are all to survive.” Raiden concluded.

Before Raiden could say more he was being hoisted into the air by the front of his shirt
and looking back at a very angry Red-haired Shanks. “Nami will not be harmed. And
besides if that is the so-called prophecy it seems a bit vague if you ask me...the fate of the
earth will be decided by her will. That means it’s really up to Nami what happens for
good or for bad. Nami...will not let us down. I am sure of it.”

“Hmph.” The Protector huffed. “I wish I had your confidence. Mother Nature, you know,
is very fickle.”

“Mother Nature is also the womb from which we all came from, to nurture, to protect,
that is mother nature’s duty. I believe in Nami.” Shanks said without a shred of doubt in
his voice. “I also believe...that he will save her even if it has to be from herself.” And
perhaps, they will end up saving each other as well...I can only hope. Luffy. Nami. Wait
for us.

The Straw Hats continued their way until they came to what appeared to be a normal
temple for prayer.

“The ruins lie beneath the temple.” Raiden informed him as he went inside. The Straw
Hats followed after. The temple was a simple structure with stain glassed windows and
cherry-wood pews. Raiden walked down the center aisle towards a marble statue of a
goddess. The goddess somehow looked oddly familiar.

“Nami?” Zoro questioned looking at the delicate features of the statue.

“Although we know the Mother shall bring about the destruction of the world there are
still those who respect as well as fear her ways. Some believe that the path to salvation is
through prayer and perhaps Mother Nature’s mercy. A load of bull if you ask me. She
will wipe us out, I’m sure of it. Women and their fickle hearts are not to be trusted.”
Raiden caught himself from going further as he felt many angry eyes on his back. He
cleared his thoat.“Anyways, shall we.” Raiden stepped forward and touching his hand to
the outstretched hand of the goddess pressed down on it.

The goddess sank back into the wall to reveal a hole beneath where she was. A staircase
was there leading downwards.

“It is here...” Raiden said. “The Entrance to the Temple of Mother Nature. Or what’s left
of it anyways.”

The Straw Hats did not hesitate and they made their way down the steep steps and into
the unknown.

ooo
