Flames

Heya guys, up and try I go, for I have the official first Chapter of this fanfic! It's an introduction to one of the characters so it may feel rushed. Thank you very much for the suggestions you made! I will try to give them as much fanfare as I can.

I'm not fully sure when everyone will show up. But for now, I'll have it like this.

Orange Town arc: (Shana, Nami)

Syrup Village arc: (Seryu, Usopp)

Baratie Arc (Po, Sanji)

Arlong Park (Ben, Nami {indefinitely}

this is what I'm doing right now. I shall warn you that I will try my fullest to make this different from raptor10's version.

So you can imagine some characters from this arc get in differently of this character from this arc.

And if your character is OOC. Please PM me!

It's doesn't matter if it's slightly. Just PM me.

Anyway, Have a look.

?

In a vast ocean, where it looked like the world had been drenched in water, a small boat was seen sailing alone on the sea. In this boat, there were two individuals, two very important men for our narrative.

Monkey D. Luffy, the future king of the pirates, had his body and head leaning on the end of the boat in an tiresome way.

And, Roronoa Zoro, The man who would become the strongest swordsman in the world was sitting next to his captain.

"I'm hungry." Luffy said dully.

"When the hell are we gonna land?!" Zoro asked.

"I don't know, we're just going with the wind and the waves after all," Luffy replied with the same tone as before. "Maybe we'll land soon enough. I think so at least..."

"You know, I find it very strange that the 'Pirate King' decided to go to sea without any navigation skills." Zoro pointed a little irritated.

"No, it's weird. I just drifted around." Luffy replied. "Weren't you also a bounty hunter traveling the seven seas?"

"I don't remember calling myself a bounty hunter," Zoro answers before looking at the sun. "I went out in search of a certain man. But I couldn't get back to my village. I had no choice so I decided to go after pirate ships to earn a living."

"Oh. So you got lost?" Luffy honestly asked which angered Zoro.

"Don't put it like that!" Zoro snapped before slamming both his hands on the boat's floor causing it to shake. This resulted in Luffy's Straw Hat flying overhead. Time slowed down in Luffy's mind.

"Gah!" Luffy saw his hat near the boat's sail.

"Shanks!" He yelled which confused Zoro.

More before anything happens. The screen is distorted.

SOMEWHERE IN JAPAN.

It felt like we jumped several years into the future. In the other side of the world. There was a quiet part of the world where the so-called 'Asians' lived. One of those parts that we were in now was Japan.

A beautiful place where the base language was Japanese. There were several huge buildings and a beautiful light that illuminated the streets. It was night.

While it looked like a normal town. Something a little more sinister occurred at random.

Humans had their 'existence' devoured by creatures called Denizens. They turn into 'torch's when their existences go down and minimize. where they wait for death to arrive.

But on that same side there are Flame hazes. People who have made pacts with powerful entities and fight these creatures.

We came here to experience one of those flame hazes. Who was in one of the houses playing guest.

SAKAI RESIDENCE.

It was a small house. One in which possibly only a mother and her child lived. Who were often visited by a girl.

Sitting on a sofa waiting for her friend to come out of the bathroom, was a girl with long brown hair wearing a black cloth, and below her head was a luminous pendant.

Shana, The flame-eyed crimson hunter can be seen.

A flame haze whose primary purpose is to maintain balance between the real world and the crimson world the Denizens came from.

Once, an icy selfish girl with no sympathy for any humans and wandered the world alone. Thanks to a boy named Yuji Sakai, she became kinder and more heroic, even hating solidarity. A better person she became. she also ended up falling under a curse caused by the boy.

Love.

She was in love with the boy. it's like you've never felt it. She didn't know what to do.

But, what was she doing now? Well...

While waiting for the boy to come out of the bathroom maybe to start an activity. She forced herself to watch a movie about. Pirates? What a coincidence, no?

The pirates she watched looked pretty weird. She didn't know anything about the topic. That had been her introduction. And without Yuji by her side. Things were going to get tough...

She saw the movie pirates discovering various places. The search for treasure. They visited various islands, fought other pirate gangs. And they also drank together.

"Yar! Cheers to cayman for saving us from that darned cave that was about to explode. Cheers!"

Shana watches quietly. Puzzled it seems.

'It appears you are taking your attention very sharply to the tv, shana.' The pendant that was the lock for the being Alastor glowed.

"Its. that…" Shana stopped midway through. "I'm not sure. It's strange. Instead of living a normal life, they. decide to risk their lives for treasure. Why? There's no easier way to get rich. What's all this for. And still drag a bunch more people into your head. This all seems very silly. Like a joke taken seriously for no reason."

"I imagine that in the world they live in, this would be the single easiest way to get rich." Alastor glowed.

"More like this. They aren't afraid to die. Are they that confident? I still don't understand why anyone would sacrifice themselves for money. If you for someone i would get it. But. That sounds like veganism. I don't understand why anyone would want to become a pirate. The risk of dying is too grand. Because someone would waste their own lives for something they may not get. Why not live like all the others."

"Perhaps... there could be something deeper in this. As if. they were looking for something far more important than anything in the world..."

"Like what?"

"...I don't really know that anymore. Maybe a secret ambition."

"An ambition..." Shana said taken back.

'Maybe I'll ask Yuji's mom.' Therefore. Shana got off the couch and followed the sakai lady.

Until...

"Ah!" Shana felt the presence of someone very powerful. Taking note of this she immediately drew her sword and ran outside. But that's when she noticed something strange. When a Denizen attacks the real world. Time stops completely with the exception of Flame hazes. But in this case Shana felt something different. Stronger.

"What...!?" Shana yells.

"I can fell it too. Its not a denizen. It's something. More..."

"But. How? I've never seen this before. Nor did i felt it. What's wrong with me!?"

"Calm down, Shana. Stay on you guard for the time being. We'll figure this out later."

"Right. Thanks Alastor." Shana then began to look around. "Its not somewhere in the city. Its appearance is specifically here. I know that much."

"Shouldn't we call Yuji?" Alastor suggested. Shana then blushed after remembering that he was taking a shower. a few seconds later she quickly turns her head and says. "I don't want to bother you. We can handle this."

She began to quickly move around the house. In search of the sigh. This took 2 minutes. Eventually she climbed the stairs and found herself on the roof where the energy was stronger.

"It's here!"

A figure in black with no face, no facial expressions, no eyes was seen.

Shana suddenly felt a chill down her spine, after seeing it. Something began to organize itself and fill her head. Something heavy.

'Huh? What feeling is that? What is he doing with my body?!'

"Shana! What is it?" Alastor glowed in worry.

"I...I...I don't know. it...did... something to my body..." Shana struggled to fight against the feeling. "My head is heavier... What kind of technique is this?"

"Not this one..."

"Huh? What do you mean? Alastor, do you know?"

"I think so. if I'm wrong. It's called 3am's fog. And a dark cloud with unknown origins that only certain Denizens can make. This fog will insert itself into a flame haze's head and take up some of the space making it heavy and thus weaker. A weapon against Flame haze's if you must. "

"What... I haven't heard that before... why don't you ever notice me about Alastor?"

"I'm sorry, Shana. i couldn't remind myself."

Shana then began to slowly fight the weight on her head. "It doesn't matter. A fog won't defeat me so easily." Shana said before running towards the monster and swung her sword towards it. "HAH!" But she felt nothing. "!?" It was like a ghost. Shana couldn't feel the animal's flesh. And before she could do anything... The figure appeared behind her... Then. He sent out a hand as black as coal.

Which seemed to be going to Shana's stomach. The hand was very fast. She quickly went to Shana's stomach. 

But before it could. "HAH!" Shana twirled her sword and cuts the being's arm. Blood paints the floor, as the creature groaned hideously in pain.

"Did you think I let my guard down? Think again!" Shana turned and said to the monster in a cocky way. "Just because you're using an artifact that weakens me doesn't mean I'm going to lose."

Shana then rushed forward and attacked the creature once again, but this time it teleported making Shana hit the air.

She fell heavily on the ground. The thing stood tall. She knew her powerlessness was not going to help today. She would just have to use it to her advantage and hope for the best. She held her sword tightly. She was ready if this monster ever tried to attack.

She thought while standing up.

The creature ran towards Shana.

Seeing this. Shana jumps really high. "GUREN NO OODACHI!" Shana somersault's and begin's to spin rapidly in the air like a runaway wheel.

Suddenly Shana stops spinning abruptly when getting closer to the floor and slams her katana towards the floor near the creature. The impact causes a small wave of flames that ascended up before dying down.

Sadly, the monster had hooped back and dodged the attack.

Then, it attacks Shana again.

It's almost like this was the same routine. The same pattern. She knows she has to keep trying. If she misses it, then it's over. Her luck doesn't seem to be holding out well either. She thinks it'll be over in less than a minute. She won't at least she'll try.

The monsters attacks continue for another couple of minutes. Finally, after a few seconds of Shana desperately dodging and blocking the attacks.

'I can't stay here, or my attacks will damage Yuji's house.' Shana thought. With that, her mind reflected a quick idea.

Shana does a roundhouse kick that sends the monster staggering to the streets. The flames of Shana's katana rise up as Shana follows the monster and jumped to the streets.

"Great idea, Shana!" Alastor glowed

She landed behind the monster who had turned its attention back to Shana. Shana takes it down, using her sword as a blunt weapon against the monster and stabbing its chest with it's remaining blade. Blood and a huge stream of fire starts flowing from the hole.

When fire extinguished. The monster slowly fell to the ground.

Shana drops her katana and begins to cough violently. She falls to her knees and tries not to throw up.

"Shana. Are you ok?" Alastor glowed.

"Yes. No. I don't know. My head..." Shana said quietly. "My head is weighting me down... I can't stand it..."

"I see... in that case, let us return home." Alastor glowed and suggested.

Shana, however simply nodded back and stood still quietly after that. With one question on her mind.

"Who...was that?" Shana asked with no intention of getting an answer.

"Indeed, a good guess. So very strange. In all my years of existence, I've never met such an alluring creature. It even got its hand on 3:00 am's fog. The bigger question how did it know where we currently resided."

"Yeah." Shana began to walk away. "I'll see if i can get any info about it. I won't tell Yuji. Unless more come out, then i'll have no choice."

Until...

The monster begin's to slowly stand up behind Shana.

Then, it reaches for her shoulder despite how distant it was.

Shana's eyes widened and her heart skipped a beat. This was the first time she ever felt something like this.

"What...B-But. How?" Shana manages to say weakly.

"It regenerated." Alastor glowed.

"This place, and I, we're connected, aren't we?" the creature says creating a strange smile on his face from thin . "I'm still alive, and this place is still alive. And we are connected...to our deaths too...Therefore. I'm Immortal unless this plane of reality is completely erased."

"Its life force is combined with that of the city's? How did he acquire such cognitive power?" Alastor glowed and asked.

Shana's eyes widened again and she stood still like a stone. As if the monster had paralyzed her. Or if fear itself had paralyzed her.

'Its that feeling again... But its so much stronger than before... i feel as if the fog entered my whole body...Now i can't even... move at all..." Shana thought.

"Oh, what is this? Don't give me the cold reception. "I'm only here because you invited me. You're going to pay your debt. You want it right?"

"What. Are you?"

Shana whispered.

"That's no matter, isn't it? I'm here for something else." The creature grinned as a black wormhole appeared behind him. "Let's play a game. How long can you last in another plane in the next 10 months?"

"I'm not getting any of your crap." Shana told him with a frown.

The monster suddenly teleported in front of Shana and grabs her collar before slowly approaching the wormhole.

"TRCH-!"

"Shana!" Alastor glowed fiercefully.

"Worry not. It'll only take a matter of time." It told.

3:00 am's fog was strenghtening and Shana couldn't do anything about it.

She could barely move, let alone stop it.

She kept her grip tight around her katana.

Her body ached all over. Her eyes drooped, tiredly. Her arms gave up the fight. The sound of her breathing could barely be heard. Shana knew she wasn't going to survive the next hour.

"SHANA!" Alastor called.

'Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!' Shana thought

"What do you plan on doing?"

The monster was amused. "What an impatient little whelp. Let's just say. Killing you now would be a waste."

The wormhole then got bigger all of a sudden.

Shana tried to lift her katana and cut the creature's throat. But she had no strenght.

"Have a good vacation!" The creature said before throwing Shana through the wormhole.

Shana was thrown into a world she has never seen before.

Shana closed her eyes.

Everything was still dark.

Everything around her was dark. The lights of the city were gone and so were the colors of the sky and sea. Only darkness existed.

'I'm sorry...Yuji...' The image of the boy flashed on her mind. After that the darkness swallowed Shana whole.

?.

We are back to square one. We can see Luffy with his straw hat in his hand. He looks carefully at it. In silence.

Zoro then decided to break the silence by asking. "Hey. You'll drop it again if you space out." Zoro said getting Luffy's attention. "is in it important?"

"Yeah." Luffy put the hat on his head. "Thank you, Zoro."

"Man, I'm hungry." Zoro ignored it and said with his arms behind his head.

Listening to this. Luffy slowly starts looking around. There is nothing. Then he looks at sima and... The rubber man sees a bird flying above the boat. he then has an idea.

"Let's eat it!" Luffy suggested, which confused Zoro.

"Eat what?" he then looked at sima and saw the bird. "Oh. the bird. But how do we get there?"

"I got it!" Luffy assured. He then got up. "GOMU GOMU NO ROCKET!" Luffy stretches his arm towards the mast lets go with great momentum and goes flying upwards.

"I see..." Zoro said bluntly. But after looking up, he realizes that Luffy ended up with his head stuck in the bird's mouth, while the animal didn't seem to care.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Luffy yelled. "HEEEEEEEEELP!"

"YOU MORON, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" Zoro roared as he paddled after Luffy.

Meanwhile, white kanji's appeared on the screen in upper case.

'Who's the pretty girl in orange? Shana, Huntress of the Burning Sword!'

After that, the kanji slowly started to disappear.

?.

As events peeled off. We are presented with a view of a peaceful island. This island looked small and the houses were very small. One of the most notable things about her. And that there was no one. Not even a living soul was seen.

What could have happened? Well... the answer seems to be right around the corner. For in some parts of the island, houses had been bombed and practically converted into Coal. Only the wreckage remained.

Many had been killed by those bombs. It was sad that the children hadn't seen any of their parents.

And that may be the reason why there's no one to be known of.

More now changing focus. In a certain place. near the houses. Above them a black wormhole opened, and from there Shana fell along with the sword, Nietono no Shana.

PROW*

The girl landed on a soft patch of grass. She lay still. She didn't say anything. She was gaining counciousness now.

"Ngh...Nghh... Ugh...what the..." Shana groaned. She lifted her eyelids slowly trying to adjust to the light, but was still unable to see well. She felt a bit nauseous. "Where am I?" She asked herself in a low voice. Suddenly she remembered. That thing had dragged her away into the black void. She clenched her hands.

"No way..this is impossible...How'd I end up like this?!" She exclaimed. A shiver ran down her spine as soon as she remembered what just happened. She felt a wave of nausea wash over her once again. She was having a hard time standing up.

"That bastard...!" She said angrily.

"Please calm down, Shana." Alastor glowed.

"There is no need to be violent. It'll only make matters worse. Let us take this slowly. It appears that creature has sent us to an unknown place. The building's are small. And i can sense the breath of water surrounding us. And i sense little-to no one nearby. "Shana sighed. "Alastor..I...I have to get out of here...!" She stated, started to try moving and failing multiple times before she was able to stand up.

"I'm frustrated that we are at this position as well, Shana. In fact, I'm puzzled at the appearance of this monster. How he obtained 3am's fog. And where did it send us. But now, we must focus on the present in order to find a way out." Alastor glowed as Shana leans against a wall and try's to catch her breath.

She nodded in agreement as she felt a little dizzy after using so much strength. It was hard not to. "Alastor...Why do i feel this way...? Is the fog still inside me?"

"I believe so. not to worry, however as it divertly dies down with ray of sun." Alastor reassured.

"Okay...Now with the most important part." Shana changed the subject, and referred to them being sent to another place.

"Alastor.. Where are we?"she asked glowed. "This isn't anywhere i've ever seen or felt before."He answered as he scanned their surroundings. "We are certainly in some kind of strange realm...it is colorful but quiet." he added. "It's rather ordinary."

The only sound they could hear was that of the birds chirping.

"Yeah...But i don't feel a lot of people here. Its almost like a ghost town. We should ask for info. And we'll manage to get out more easily. This is just a distraction. And it ain't holding me down! "

Shana said with nodded."You're quite right, Shana. We will surely find information if we go deeper."

He replied.

Shana then took off. And by talking off i mean jumping really high untop of a building, in order to look around better.

"I've noticed the fog is diminishing away." Alastor glowed after seeing Shana jump.

"Yeah. I forgot to mention that." Shana told before glancing at the island. "Let's see..." However, for her annoyance all the areas looked the same. It was just houses after houses. And not one house stood out of all the others.

It was boring. All she wanted was to get out of here as soon as possible.

"Grrr! This area's empty! Just houses! This doesn't help at all." Shana muttered.

"I wonder what happened to the human's..." Alastor glowed.

"Who knows. But at this rate, we are gonna be here for hours without anyone instructing us." Shana said. "I might as well just walk around aimlessly."

Alastor glowed."It would do you no harm to explore. Besides, you will learn more useful information." Shana smiled at him. "I know..." She said softly. "Well, let's start walking around."Alastor glowed.

Shana begin's to jump untop of other house's after leaning the one she was in.

'I noticed something. The house's rooftops are terribly structured. It feels rusty and geriatric. This thing can fail at any moment. Who build these clearly had no idea of what he was doing. Anyway. I better watch my step.' Shana thought.

?.

"After her! If you run away with the grand line map, we are dead meat!" A group of 3 pirates are seen chasing a beautiful girl with orange hair. She was running from them while holding some kind of map.

However, as she ran a huge explosion was seen in the air. She stopped running and turned around in fright. What she saw was Luffy falling towards her.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Hah? What was that?" Shana asked after hearing the scream somewhere in the village.

She then decides to investigate and starts jumping into another line of houses.

CRAASSSH* Luffy it landed on the ground with such force that it caused a mini smoke explosion.

"M-M what?!" Nami got scared.

The bandits were also scared. After all, it's not every day someone falls from the sky.

When the dust came out. Luffy was seen in a small crater he made himself. He looked fine and healthy. "Phew. I'm fine." He sighed in relief.

"That was a pretty neat experience I had." Luffy stood up, causing everyone around him to shudder.

Nami seeing how confused he looked, came up with a plan and implied this with a cheeky smile.

"Jezz. I'm hungry!"

"Boss! Are you coming to save me?!" Nami played as an actress. Luffy just got confused.

"Oshi? Who are you?" He turned and asked.

He was even more confused after seconds after the girl had simply run away. "Sorry! They're all yours now!"

The confused Luffy then turned around and saw 3 pirates angrily glaring at him.

"The girl ran away!"

"Never mind, her boss is still here! Trying to disguise your crony?"

Coincidentally. Shana manages to show up just in time. After jumping through the last house she saw from above what appeared to be a boy being attacked by pirates.

"Then that's it?" She asked. ""It was someone being held hostage."

"At last, we've found a youth. But he's in the head of danger." Alastor said.

""Oh, do you know where and that there's a place to have lunch?" Luffy asked with no sense of danger.

from the Top Shana was dumbfounded by the Boy's... Courage...Or stupidity in that sense.

"What is that idiot thinking!? He's going to die for sure! We have no time for his nonsense! There are many enemies out there! Why is he just standing there!? Why is he playing with death like this?! It's crazy!"Shana muttered under her breath while looking at the scene unfolding below.

"Quit screwin' around, kid." A pirate said before punching Luffy in the chin making his hat fly. Shana was already prepared to jump and help him until suddenly, the same pirate takes a punch from Luffy and automatically falls to the ground.

"Huh?" Shana was surprised.

Luffy then grabbed his hat with one hand and put it on his head. He looked irritated. "Don't touch my treasure." He said coldly.

"Treasure? But that just looks like a silly hat? what's so special about it?" Shana was confused.

The hat seemed really simple. She didn't understand why someone would choose to hide such a plain object when he could buy a very cool hat.

"Bastard!" The two thugs yelled before running towards Luffy.

"GOMU GOMU NO TWIN PISTOL!" Luffy then did something that made Shana's eyes nearly pop out of their lids. He stretched out both fists towards the thugs' faces and punched them.

Both of the guys fell unconscious One thug fell down while the other just fell on the ground with a thud.

"Eh?! What? "What was that!?" Shana blinked a few times." Shana blinked a few times. She was amazed by what she saw. She couldn't believe what she was watching. She's never seen something like that , the man, just fought two men with some sort of rubber-themed ability. How can it be? That is impossible unless he does something different...Or does he possess some form of power?

He couldn't be a flame haze or a citzen of the crimson world because if it was so, Shana would've been able to sense it

Shana could only question; What was he?

"That can't be human." Shana said.

"I sense ominous present power on the boy's body. It is aquainted to that of a demon's aura." Alastor glowed.

" But, Demon's aura? Would he have acquired some power related to hell? How can he posses such power?"Shana questioned.

"It is intriguing, indeed. But let us keep our questions to ourselves. That lady of orange hair has shown up again." Alastor glowed. and he was right. Nami was seen at the top of a building amazed that Luffy defeated those guys. She didn't see his power.

"Incredible..." Luffy turned to the source of the sound the moment he heard Nami whisper in awe. "You defeated those guys with barehanded sabers. What a force!"

"Hey...you're that...who?" Luffy asked.

"I am a thief who steals from pirates." Nami explained. "Hey, want to join me?"

"No, not interested." Luffy answered plainly. "I have to find my mate."

He then starts walking in an uncertain direction. But Nami didn't give up.

"H-Hey! Wait!" Nami exclaims before jumping out of the building and running after Luffy.

"I said, wait!"

That's when Luffy ended up noticing Shana at the top of the house. (don't ask me how)

"Huh? And who are you?" Luffy asked Shana, who was surprised.

""H-Huh?"

Nami was then the second to notice Shana's appearance. "What? Why is there a kid on top of that house?" Nami asked herself. "There you! What are you doing there? It's dangerous!"

""It would appear they have noticed us." Alastor said. Shana simply sighed and descended from the house failing next to the two.

She then slowly approached the group. "M-My name is...Shana. Nice to meet you." She said in an introverted manner.

Nami and Luffy simply raised an both exchanged glances while Shana was unaware of what they were , however, could feel that the girl seemed had a strange air around her, almost mysterious. But somehow familiar.'What is she? A foreigner?'She said in confusion to herself.

"Before you say anything. Yes I was spying on you. I've been looking for people for a long time. When I found you I decided to take a look at what you were doing." Shana explained. She then looked at Luffy. "How did you do that?"

Luffy tilted his head lightly in confusion. "Huh? Are you talking to me?"

"Who else could I be talking to?" She responded dryly. "Answer me. how did that occur?"

"That? That what?"

"Stop playing with me. You already know."

"I don't know anything, girl."

Shana was already losing patience. "I'm talking about your supernatural abilities. I saw you stretch your arms to defeat those bandits." Shana said.

"Huh?" Nami was confused. She didn't see him fight so she didn't know what she was talking about.

Luffy then finally understood. "AH! That?" Luffy then pulled his cheek causing it to stretch. "I ate the Gomu Gomu no mi.(Or Gum-Gum fruit) I'm a rubber man!"

Shana didn't jump at this or show any facial transformations. However, he was completely scared of it. She even fell to the floor.

'W-WHAT!? What is he!? That's why he managed to defeat those bandits, he's not human!' Nami thought.

"Gomu Gomu no mi? What is that?" Shana asked.

"Oh, its my devil fruit!" Luffy replied.

'What!? Devil Fruits really exist? I thought they were just legends!' Nami thought again.

"Devil fruit... Now together a term I have yet to be familiar with it." Alastor glowed.

"Well, I didn't ask about it. I think I got the idea." Shana said while shrugling. "They are fruits that come from hell and give special abilities to people who eat them. And each one has its category like yours, which is rubber. Am I right about that?"

"...I don't know. I think so." Luffy answered simply.

'Why is that girl listening to all this so normally?'

"How interesting. This is certainly something new. But it troubles me why it was so absent to us..." Alastor glowed. "It could have something to do with the crimson world. But i would know it, if so.

"Do you know anything about this place?" Shana asked as she approaches Luffy.

"No. I've never seen this place in my life. I just fell here because of a bird I wanted to eat, but the bird got me instead." Luffy said. That's when his stomach rumbled. " Crap i forgot. I'm starving!" Luffy then slowly fell down while holding onto his belly.

'It makes sense. I don't know how long he keeps that bird.' Shana thought. Off to the side, Nami started to regain her composure after too many revelations.

"I can take you out to lunch if you want." Luffy then he got up quickly which startled Nami.

"Serious!?"

"Y-Yeah." Nami said awkwardly. "There's a place where there's enough food for you."

"hmmm?" Shana then became interested upon hearing this. "Hey lady. You seem to know a few things about this place. Could you tell me?"

"Oh?" Nami turned around. "Well... I don't know much, but if you want to hear it, feel free."

"Okay. In that case I'll follow you for now." Shana said before smiling.

?.

"Shana?"

After some time in the bath. Yuji got out of there. Clean as a baby. However, he had noticed something strange. Shana was nowhere to be found in the house. It was very weird. But he simply thought she was struggling in another area. So he left
