"Ya know, (y/n)," Luffy said out of nowhere, looking at me as we ran through the trees this time. I rose a brow, signaling him to continue, but he was already distracted by some bug on a tree. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME HE'S DONE THIS! I tried to calm myself down, tugging his arm. "C'mon Luffy! We need to get to the others on time! I'm afraid of what Nami will do if we're late.." I told him. He did a little 'oh right' and we started out again. "So anyway, (y/n)," he called for my attention once again, only for me to see him crouching down near some weird mushrooms so he could poke at them.

"THAT'S IT!" I screamed, kicking him and sending him flying. Too bad I sent him flying in the direction of the ocean. "OI OI OI! Help me I'm gonna die!" he yelled, stretching his rubber arms out and grabbing.. ME?! He pulled me to where he was, literally on the verge of falling into the sea, with me, a devil fruit user, and him, also a devil fruit user. "LUFFY YOU IDIOT! WHY DIDN'T YOU GRAB A TREE?!" I cried out in despair, grabbing onto the edge of the abrupt coast. His arms were wrapped around my backpack clad torso while he looked down at the blue salty water.

"Oh yea, I forgot about that," he hummed, smiling dumbly at me. I would facepalm if I wasn't hanging on for dear life. One of his arms let go of me so that it could stretch and reach a tree, pulling us both up. I smacked him upside the head and huffed. "You're the one who kicked me over the edge! You can swim anyway so we would have been fine!" he reasoned, picking his nose with an unamused expression.

"Luffy, we would be as good as dead. I've eaten a devil fruit," I stated. He froze in time for a second, then his brain gears started working and his eyes almost bulged out of his skull, "EHHH?! WE ALMOST DIED (Y/N)! THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE!" he shouted, all of a sudden stressed. I smacked him again for being so slow. "Well anyway, what's your power?" he asked. I facepalmed. Well I guess this guy has probably been way closer to death than just dumb situations like this one. "I'm a metal woman," I said, shrugging. His eyes turned to stars and he held his fists up in excitement. "You're a robot (y/n)?!"

I sighed and shook my head. "No you weirdo. I can just change into some kind of alloy that I have yet to fully understand as of right now. I could be a combination of-" "Show me! Show me! Show me!" He chanted with his fists in the air. He's such a strange guy, but I think the other two of the comedic trio would do the same. I activated my devil fruit, effectively turning into an unknown silver metal alloy. "AMAZING~~~! So this is why he said you're a good bodyguard~~!" he sang. I laughed, "Sure, now let's get back to the rest of them." He nodded firmly and we started running again. Well, until he stopped, shouting about a Hercules beetle and running off to who knows where. Sadly, I had to chase after him. I was getting a work out over here! He had gold and I had so much heavy things in my bags!

~~

I was practically hyperventilating when we got back to the rest of them. "We did it~~~~!" the ebony male called out to the rest of them. Nami started yelling about how we were late but Luffy just held up the beetle that he and I caught on the way here. "Hercules!" he stated proudly.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU TWO DOING?!" Nami, Zoro, and Usopp screeched at the same time. I sweatdropped. I'll admit, he did get me caught up on catching that thing. Trees have fallen due to our destructiveness. I pray for them.

Luffy didn't pay any attention to them, however, and looked right at the ship. I did too, confused as to why the Merry had a rooster/chicken thing going on with the figurehead that was supposed to be a sheep. The captain was very satisfied with it though, saying it looked like it could fly. Usopp agreed with him and I walked closer to the group, standing beside Nami, even if she scares me a little. She was looking at the ship with a concerned expression, for some reason. Alright maybe she had a reason.

"Seeing that makes me feel uneasy.." she trailed off, definitely referring to the ship's design. "I agree," Zoro started, "Even a pigeon would have been better than a chicken." I couldn't hold in my laugh at his serious criticism of the ship. He says the strangest things with all seriousness, and it will continue to crack me up for the rest of my little adventure with them. "That's not the main issue here! You're an idiot!" Nami yelled, pissed off at his stupidity, but it only made me laugh harder, especially since he didn't give a crap about what she had to say. "And you! Stop encouraging this idiot's actions!" she accused me as she pointed right at my face. I wiped some tears from my eyes and shook my head, "Nami, he doesn't do this for my amusement. This guy is just dumb." "Oi!" he shouted, suddenly paying attention to us.

"Alright, lets set sail! Ready men?!" Usopp interrupted the potential situation. The monkey guys behind him cheered an 'aye aye, sir' enthusiastically. I watched Luffy run over to Cricket and drop off the gold in front of him. The old man just told Luffy to get on his ship and leave already. The kid only thanked him, the old guy replying that he wasn't the one to be thanking. I shook my head in amusement when the captain turned to the monkey guys and told them they could keep his hercules beetle. Since they're just as weird as him, they rejoiced at the news. I was climbing onto the ship and Usopp called for the ebony haired male to get on the ship, who came running at the call.

"Saruyama Alliance! Don't screw up now! No matter what happens, give everything you got for them!" Cricket instructed. We all grinned as they said yelled out a yes. Luffy finally got onto the ship. "Ok! Time to set sail guys!" Nami said. "Alright!/Aye Nami-swan!"

Everyone said their last words to Cricket as we sailed off. When we finally got out, the typical three were together and playing with the South Bird, since he couldn't look anywhere but South. The bird so irritated with them, and was chained down to the railing so it couldn't fly away. For some reason, the guys on the other ship were getting all riled up from them playing around . They suddenly all decided that they were going to relax, even making the boats relax with them. "Are we going to be alright?" Zoro questioned, genuinely concerned. "It's better this way. Might as well die while happy," I said, patting his shoulder. He looked at me, no relief on his face from that, "That was horrible reassurance." Robin walked over to me, smiling while saying, "I think that was perfectly said, (y/n)." Zoro looked between us, disturbed, until the seas went calm and the monkey ships started inspecting the area. A huge black cloud covered us and then everything descended into chaos.

"Thats the sign of the explosion! Everyone get ready and face the ship to 10 oclock!" Masria ordered as the waves under and around us got larger and larger. A huuuge whirlpool formed and as we were led into it by the monkey guys before they let us go by ourselves. A whole sea king got overtaken by the power of the whirlpool. At this point, everyone was getting restless, especially Nami, Usopp and chopper. When we were about to free fall into the whirlpool, it suddenly disappeared. Nami started explaining it but I was just staring at a the little ship made out of logs being paddled over to us. "I caught up to ya Straw Hat Luffy!" the big guy from the pub yesterday shouted to us. He was laughing really loud for some reason. "I'm here to collect on your 100 million bounty! Prepare yourself!" he continued, effectively confusing all of us. 

"My bounty? What do ya mean by 100 million?" Luffy asked, just as lost as the rest of us.

"So you don't know! There's a 100 million berry bounty on your head! And Pirate Hunter Zoro! You're wort 60 million!" he spelled out. Usopp whipped out a pair of binoculars from his satchel, confirming the information to both Zoro and Luffy. Sanji tried to ask if he had one, but nope, only two posters were shown. "I see! our bounties went way up after the Alabasta incident! But 100 million.. " Nami reasoned. The two with the bounties celebrated but I gaped at them. "What the hell did you guys do to have it jump that high?!" I cried out. Luffy looked over at me, still grinning like an idiot about the news, "Ah, I beat up Crocodile!" he chirped. My jaw nearly hit the floor. "A SHICHIBUKAI?! AND HE WAS WORTH 81 MILLION!" I shrieked. "Shishishi your face is funny, (y/n)!"

Before I could say anything, weird waves grew under the ship, and suddenly we were on a pimple of sea water. We all instinctively grabbed onto something, well, except Luffy, the danger dude. I was clinging onto the mast of the ship when the water exploded into a vertical stream. forcing the ship to ride on the side of the water pillar. Now I was just standing on the side of the mast since the ship was going literally straight up. Chopper ended up clinging to my leg.

"Hold on, I don't think it's gonna be that easy," Sanji suddenly said, making all of our attentions turn to him. Luffy questioned him, and Sanji replied with, "The hull's starting to float!"

"EH?!" Everyone started freaking out, wondering what to do because we don't have much options in a situation like this. A sea king and some ship rubble started falling past the ship, causing Chopper to scream, his eyes budging out as he clung harder to my leg. Him and Usopp started saying we were all going to die, until Nami ordered everyone to Spread the sails. "This is the sea, not just a pillar of water! It's a rising current and wind blowing from below is a rising air current. If we're dealing with the wind and the sea, I an navigate it! Who's the ship's navigator?" she asked confidently, to which Sanji sang out, "You are, Nami-chwan!" We all quickly did as she said and returned to the deck of the ship. Chopper and Luffy started screaming about how we were detatching from the water, but the orange haired woman directed them to keep calm.

"We're flying!" Luffy cheered, " Awesome! The ship is really flying!" I hugged the woman tightly, almost crying, "YOU DID IT NAMI! NO ONE ELSE COULD EVEN DREAM OF IT!" I sobbed, earning a laugh and a pat on the head from her as everyone else cheered. Oh boy, did I pick the right ship or what! Anywhere else I would have DIED!

Sooo I think I want the devil fruit to essentially be just like Kevin from Ben10. Or like Gajeel from Fairy Tail. Either way. Metal woman.
