Chapter 5: A Sweet Melody
Nami dove beneath the crashing waves as she swam in the direction in which she had last
seen Luffy’s straw hat. It was hard to see even with her mermaid enhanced sea vision and
this storm kept on getting worse and worse. Sheets of rain poured down making it seem
as though she was below water even when above. The howling winds were so strong she
felt she would be blown away like Luffy’s hat.
There! She spotted a speck of a yellow only a few meters away from her and doubling
her efforts made her way towards it. She would not let Luffy’s precious treasure slip
through her fingers no matter the cost. She was almost there when a particularly powerful
wave swamped the hat sending it beneath the waves. No big. Nami simply dove under
the water and breathing freely as merpeople were able to do reached out in the water
before her, searching...grasping out for it. There! She had it in her hands.
Now she just had to get back to Luffy. The waves were oddly strong enough to effect her
swimming and there was a powerful current that seemed intent on pulling her off to one
side. She fought it with all she had just to get back to the surface. She shielded her eyes
trying in vain to spot the Going Merry...she listened for any sign that Luffy might be
calling her name. But as she stared out over the dark waters all she saw was black.
And this current...this odd current wouldn’t stop trying to get a hold of her until...Nami
felt herself being pulled under. Thankful, to have nothing to fear from drowning but
fearful nonetheless for whatever was happening she tried to fight against it. But this time
it was futile. Soon she was being dragged away in some unknown direction - the force
being too strong for her to bear and then she knew no more...
ooo
“Land Ho!” Ussop cried from the crow’s nest.
“Nani?! Where! Do you see Nami?!” Was Luffy’s enthusiastic response. He came
running up on deck as fast as his rubber legs could carry him, with the hope in his heart
that Nami had somehow managed to make it there alive, since she had never resurfaced
after diving in after Luffy’s hat...
Luffy felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Zoro. “Don’t worry, she’ll be there.”
There was no doubt in Zoro’s words and Luffy simply nodded.
“I do hope Nami-san is alright.” Sanji frowned looking at the rocky island. “Looking at
that place gives me the creeps.”
The island was composed of sheer rockface and the Straw-hat pirates wondered how
exactly they would even dock.
Until...
“What’s that sound?” Luffy questioned.
“I don’t know...but I....” Zoro was saying before he became entranced by the music.
“That song...it’s like I’ve heard it before...like it knows me. Alright crew let’s head in the
direction of the song!!!” Luffy commanded.
There were no objections. “YOSH!!!” Came the spontaneous reply.
ooo
Meanwhile...
Nami clung for dear life on the sides of a sheer rockface as the waves continued to smash
into her from all sides. She couldn’t last much longer - covered in deep cuts and dark
bruises. It was amazing that she had managed to find an island although she vaguely
recalled it had almost been like she had been guided here. She was sure the others would
probably turn up here in search of her but it was nearly impossible to try and climb when
one had a fishtail! Not to mention one-handed as she still held Luffy’s precious treasure
in her now trembling hands.
There had to be another way. Nami decided she would try swimming around the island
first in hopes of finding some sort of cove.
A few hours later Nami couldn’t believe her eyes...there it was the Going Merry! They
had somehow managed to find a small inlet harbor and had anchored the ship there. She
couldn’t believe that she had found them so easily! Soon, she would see him, *cough*,
the others again.
Nami quickly swam over to the ship and when she was only a few meters away starting
calling for her crewmates. “Hey!!! I’m over here guys! Hey! Luffy! Zoro! Sanji!
Ussop!!!” But there was no answer...
‘Did they already leave the ship?’ Nami wondered and swam around to the stern to
where she saw a rope hanging down. ‘Luffy...’ Placing the straw hat on her head and
grasping a hold of the rope she began the agonizing process of pulling herself up to get
onboard. Sometimes it just plain sucked to be a mermaid. Finally reaching the top and
tossing herself over the railing, landing with a sickening thud, she looked around wildly
in search of her crew mates. ‘Those idiots! I went through so much trouble for them too
and this is the thanks I get!’ Nami decided she was tired of being in her mermaid form
and dragged herself towards her room in hopes of drying herself off.
Once she had stowed Luffy’s straw hat in her room for safe keeping and had managed to
get herself dry Nami decided she’d lower a dinghy to go ashore and search for the boys
that way.
Nami wiped the sweat off her brow as she stepped onto dry land. It felt good to be in her
normal body again. She tied the dingy to a nearby palm tree and decided to start her
search for the boys.
That’s when she heard it...
“A flute?” Nami wondered aloud. “But where’s it coming from? And who and why
would someone be playing a flute out here in the middle of nowhere?” Out of pure
curiosity she followed the sound of the flute and was surprised at what met her at the end
of it -
A towering pyramid of solid gold in what Nami dubbed an Aztec style stood before her.
It was breathtaking but...there was something not quite right about it. What was such a
splendid structure doing out here on the outskirts of the Grand Line where there was very
little wealth to have produced something as magnificent. It just didn’t feel right. Nami,
being a thief who stole from pirates, had learned to listen to her gut instinct and knew
when a job seemed fishy, and this pyramid gave her that same feeling. Something was
definitely up.
The song of the flute was coming from inside however so Nami decided to make her way
towards it to investigate. Using her stealth she crept inside the pyramid undetected and
continued to follow the sound of the flute. The pyramid was even bigger on the inside than
it appeared to be on the outside. Nami soon found herself in a gigantic hall lined with
black and white swirled marble columns and snuck from each one to the next as she
moved forward. At the end of the hall were two gigantic gilded doors which reached to the
ceiling, and just on the other side, Nami could hear it, it was the flute’s strange, haunting
melody.
Cautiously Nami pressed against the door and peered inside.
The sight that met her made her eyes bulge out of her head. She quicky opened the doors
wide and marched inside, hands on her hips. She just couldn’t believe them!!!
There in front of her sitting on silken cushions and drinking from huge, golden wine
goblets were her crew.
There were all seemingly unaware of her arrival however as their attention seemed to be
riveted to...
A woman...and not just any woman, Nami admitted to herself with a huff, a very beautiful
woman. She was pale, delicate, refined, sweet-looking...all things Nami was not. The
woman, or young lady, had her eyes shut, her long lashing resting on her delicate cheeks
as she played the boys a captivating melody. As she swayed to the rhythm her long,
golden hair swished behind her. She was wearing a white toga, thick gold bracelets, and a
large golden necklace. She looked so ethereal...Nami began to feel embarrassed about her
current state of appearance...
Nami was covered in cuts that she had wrapped hastily with gauze, nasty looking bruises
which she hadn’t bothered to conceal, she had bags under her eyes from not getting any
sleep the previous night, and her hair was in disarray from being in the salt water too long.
All in all she was a complete catastrophe.
With her mouth hanging open she watched until a set of piercing blue eyes starred back at
her. Nami suddenly felt very foolish and ignoring the girl addressed her crew mates. “Hey
guys?! Remember me! Nami - your lost crewmate! Geesh! And here I thought you guys
would be worried sick about me but here I find you relaxing and listening to th-that
woman’s flute!” Nami was red in the face as she saw how difficult it was for Luffy to pull
his eyes away from the goddess-like beauty before him.
“Huh? Oh, hi Nami. Want some of this wine it’s real yummy.” Luffy gave her a lopsided
grin.
“Argh!” Nami tugged at her hair. Luffy could be so exasperating at times.
Luffy hadn’t seemed to notice Nami’s negative reaction and continued. “We met this
really nice girl, Melody. Isn’t her flute playing amazing! I was thinking of trying to get
her to be our musician. Wouldn’t that be just great! I’ve been wanting a musician for our
crew for what seems like forever! But now...I’m so lucky that we came to this island and
got to meet Melody! And she’s so kind too, letting us stay at here and all, and eat for free.
Isn’t she the greatest Nami?”
Nami didn’t know whether she wanted to laugh, cry, or kill Luffy.
“Why are you still standing Nami, relax, take a load off.” Came the unconcerned voice of
Zoro. Nami turned a sharp eye on him and did a double take...since when was Zoro
sooooo....ok so he was lazy but this was different. Usually even if he was napping in a
heartbeat’s notice he could be ready for battle but for some reason Zoro seemed a bit too
carefree to really be him. I mean he was usually brooding about something right?
And...wasn’t there something missing in this picture...
“Melody-chan!”
Oh, that’s right Love Cook was at it again.
“Yes, Sanji?” Melody asked in her sickeningly sweet voice. Nami felt nauseous.
“After all that flute playing you must be tired. I would be honored to give you a massage.”
Sanji gazed at her all heart-eyed.
Nami stifled a giggle as she waited for Melody to shoot him down. She never expected
what happened next...
“Sure, I’d love one Sanji-kun.” Melody gave Sanji a shy smile.
“Yata!” Sanji cheered seating himself behind Melody and beginning to massage her.
“Isn’t Melody the greatest.”
Nami could not believe what she was seeing or hearing for that matter. This had to be
some sort of messed up parallel universe. Sanji...getting the girl. Zoro...not brooding.
Luffy...not asking for meat. And Ussop well...he wasn’t lying about anything.
“Melody...have I ever told you about the time I took on this giant Sea King, which was
half shark half lion, single handedly with both hands tied behind my back!” Ussop
declared.
Scratch that.
“No I have not, Ussop-kun.” Melody beamed at him. “I would be just delighted to hear all
about it.”
Nami’s eye twitched. Just who did this girl think she was fooling. Something was
definitely up. “Well, thanks so much for taking care of them and all but we really must get
going...” Nami was saying as she began to tug on Luffy’s arm.
“Aww but Nami I don’t wanna go!!!” Luffy whined.
“I do not wish to leave either, we just go here.” Zoro replied, eyes stilled closed. “I want
to hear Melody play another tune...”
“Yea Nami and Melody hasn’t even gotten to hear the rest of my story!” Ussop chimed.
“And this massage is just getting started.” Sanji grinned mischievously.
Nami threw her hands in the air. “I just don’t believe this!” She then got that feeling that
she was being watched.. She turned to see Melody had been glaring at her but her
expression quickly shifted into that of pure innocence. That girl...
“Nami is it?” Came Melody’s sing-song voice. “You must be tired from your journey
here...why not relax with the others. Feel free to help yourself to the refreshments you see
laid out before you.” She gestured with her delicate hand towards the nearby table that had
been graciously laid out with many fine foods.
Such poise, such grace. She was totally annoying. Nami fumed as she plopped back down
on a cushion and served herself a plate of food. She bit into the potato salad and...that’s
strange it was almost tasteless....
The others however seemed to think there was nothing at all wrong with the food as Luffy
was on his 20th or so helping.
Nami sighed, some things never changed.
ooo
Nami stared up at the unfamiliar ceiling and sighed.
‘How did I get talked into staying in this place. I really don’t want to be here. I don’t feel
welcome here...not with her around. Besides she only seems concerned with my friends. I
hate the way they’ve been acting because of her. They’ve barely noticed I’m alive. It’s not
like I’m jealous or anything...*sigh* I seem to be thinking that a lot lately. But there is
something just plain wrong with this place and that woman. I have to get down to the
bottom of this even if it kills me for the sake of my Nakama.’
Just as she finished those thoughts she felt something brush against her leg.
“What the-” Nami felt an excruciating pain in her leg and screamed. She quickly flipped
up the covers to see a snake. Shit! It had bitten her. Grabbing her bo from her bedside
table she quickly killed the snake with one fierce blow to its skull. She noticed the snake’s
colors and realized in horror that it was poisonous. She had to get one of the others to help
her and fast.
Nami stormed out of her room and ran down to the nearest door on her right, Luffy’s
room. Throwing the door open she cried his name. “Luffy I need your help I-” Her words
caught in her throat at the sight before her. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing...was
it real...it’s couldn’t possibly be.
Luffy was lying in bed and Melody was on top of him staring affectionately down at him
while Luffy had a silly grin on his face. They were still fully clothes but Nami was certain
she knew what the two had been planning...but that seemed so unlike Luffy unless it just
took the right woman too...
Tears filled Nami’s eyes as she looked at the two of them.
“I-I” Nami stuttered before running from the scene before her.
ooo
“Huh?” Luffy asked in a slightly dazed state. “That was Nami’s voice...she sounded like
she was crying.”
“Ignore her. She probably just had a bad dream or something. Now where were we...”
Melody leaned down and nibbled on Luffy’s ear causing him the slightest of pains.
“Nami! She looked like she needed my help!” Luffy suddenly exclaimed pushing Melody
roughly off of him.
“I said just forget about her.” Melody said pulling out her flute. “Stay with me.” She
began to start a song before Luffy pulled the flute out of her hands.
“I’m sorry but I don’t have time to listen to another of yours songs right now. Nami needs
me!” Luffy quickly hopped out of bed and ran down the hall after Nami.
ooo
Nami kept on running and running till she had made it to the front doors of the palace. She
wanted to be away, far away from this place...and him. She flung the doors open and kept
on running. Finally, her legs gave out from under her as the poison was beginning to
affect her system.
“Baka...” Nami muttered. “I don’t care if I die...that idiot...why do I even care!” Her body
was wracked with sobs as she lay there in the middle of a dirt path with her face buried in
her hands.
Huffing and puffing Luffy had finally made it to her side. “Nami!” Luffy declared as he
spotted her and then he noticed she was crying. “What’s wrong...why are you crying? Do
you need my help again?”
Nami looked up to stare at Luffy in disbelief. ‘How can he act like nothing is wrong when
my whole world is crashing down.’ But she simply nodded. “Yes...a snake bit me...I think
it was poisonous.”
Luffy’s eyes widened at her statement. “Show me.” He said quickly.
Nami hesitated before pulling up her white skirts and showing Luffy where the snake had
bit her on her inner thigh. Luffy gulped and removed a dagger from his person. “I have to
open the wound so I can then remove some of the poison.” Luffy told her as he
approached her with the dagger. Nami closed her eyes waiting for the pain of the knife.
But it never came.
Nami opened her eyes and looked back at Luffy confusedly. “What is it?”
“I just feel wrong having to hurt you.” Luffy bashfully stated a hand behind his head.
Nami smiled, he was so unlike the others. “Just do it Luffy...if you wait any longer it
won’t matter anymore.”
Luffy took on that serious expression she had seen him wear when he was about to take on
a fierce opponent. Steeling herself for the knife she felt Luffy cut her wound open and
flinched at the pain. But before it could hurt more suddenly his lips were pressed against
her sensitive flesh there...
The pain began to melt away until something warm began to take it’s place. She never felt
quite like this before. A blush crept to her cheeks as Luffy continued to suck out poison
from her wound and spit it out off to the side. When he was finished he looked back at her
with a look of curiosity on his face.
“Why are you all flushed and why are you breathing heavily like that...when I see you like
that. I feel funny.” Luffy stated.
“Baka! I was just bitten by a poisonous viper how should I look?” Nami lied quickly.
“Oh, right.” Luffy said turning his head away from her with a pensive look while
scratching his cheek. This unnerved Nami to say the least.
She had to know. “Luffy...just what were you and Melody doing....”
“Huh? Oh she was supposed to play me more songs on her flute but then she said I looked
stressed out or something and that she knew of a way to de-stress me...so she was going to
give me a massage or something I think. But...I don’t really remember how she got on top
of me...that’s weird. Anyways what did you think was happening?”
“Nothing.” Nami said hanging her head as a feeling of thankfulness washed over her. ‘So
he wasn’t...he wasn’t...with her. Not really.’
“Luffy I...have you ever...would you want to-”
Before Nami could manage to get the right words out a flute’s song was heard in the
distance. Luffy stood up and turned his back to Nami. “I have to get back to Melody.” He
suddenly said. “I’m sorry but I have to go.”
“But why?” Nami asked in a small voice.
“I don’t know.” Luffy said and was off.
Nami watched him go until her vision blurred and she collapsed.
