Ghost

Chapter 4: Stop

After remembering how I died, I wanted nothing more than to go and comfort Nami. I knew what she was going through more than anybody. Seeing her cry like this tore my heart in half. What was worse, was that I was the cause of all of this. Why wasn't I stronger! Damn it!

I hated myself for the tears she was shedding. Not only did I make her cry, but I also broke my promise with that old man back in Nami's island. I hate breaking promises.

My ears perked up when I heard the sound of a door opening as I averted my eyes from the blue sea that I was watching on my seat on Sunny's head. It was dark, but I was able to see who came out from the door. My eyes widened when I saw Nami walk out. I looked at her as she walked down the stairs toward the grassy deck. I couldn't see her face as it was covered by my treasured straw hat she never took off her head. I watched her carefully as she walked over to Sunny's head and just stood behind the railing.

She didn't move for a while. When she did, I became scared. I watched her as she climbed up onto Sunny's head. She walked toward the center and stood in the center. She was just right in front of me as I looked down at her. I still wasn't able to see her face. What was she doing? I was afraid.

"Luffy..." My eyes widened. Does she see me? Does she know I'm standing right in front of her? I tried to put my hands on her shoulders, but they just went through her. No...she wasn't able to see me. So, what was she doing? "I'm sorry...Luffy..." She sobbed as I saw tears falling down her cheek to the floor.

It was then that she walked through me. My eyes widened. She wasn't doing what I thought she was doing? I quickly turned around. I saw her walk to the edge of Sunny's head. "Nami!" I shouted knowing that she couldn't hear me. Damn it! He wanted to stop her! He wanted to just grab her and prevent her from jumping. But he couldn't.

Seeing her cry was one thing, but to think that he was the cause of one of his nakama trying to kill themselves, it was far worse than anything. "Don't do it, Nami!" I shouted at her again. "Stop!" I pleaded but no matter how much I shouted she was not going to hear me. I saw her move one of her feet, prepared to take the plunge. I ran forward, knowing I won't be able to stop her, but I did it anyway. "Don't do it! NAMI!" I tried to grab her arm, but it only went through her. My eyes widened in horror as I watched Nami begin to fall. "NAMI!"

It was at that moment, someone ran through me and grabbed Nami on her arm. I felt so relieved. I thought I would never be happier to see Zoro ever in my life, although I was already dead. I chuckled slightly at my little Brook joke, but Zoro saved her. Zoro began lifting her back up onto Sunny's head. He groaned as he sat down and looked at Nami.

"You idiot!" He yelled at her as I saw her slightly begin to shake. "Do you think Luffy would want you to kill yourself!" I shook my head. Of course the answer was no. I didn't think that Nami would try something like this. I wanted to go and comfort her, but I couldn't.

"I...know..." She shuddered as I looked at her with a frown. "But...it hurts...it hurts so much..." She told him as I clench my fists tightly. Damn it! I hated all of this!

"I know it hurts!" Zoro told her. "However, no matter how much it hurts, we have to continue going with our lives! Did you forget what he sacrificed his life for! He did to save your own! For you to continue living! If I didn't come and stop you, Luffy's last wish would have been for nothing!" Zoro's words seemed to struck Nami hard. Nami could only cry her heart out as she wrapped her arms around herself. I gritted my teeth as I looked at her. I was so pissed. Why couldn't I help her! I knew I was a ghost, but why couldn't I just tell her that I was here. Here with her! Damn it!
