Chapter 5 ~ Behold the Witch--I mean, Nami (Part 1)
Akira's POV:
"Do you have any thing to say, Mr.Bushido-san? You've been staring at me for quite while." I said calmly, eyes closed, relaxing on my back with my arms behind my head.
Zoro raised an eyebrow at his new nickname which I'm probably only gonna use once in my life. "You're a guy, right?"
"Last time I checked, yes." What an interesting development.
"Akira is really pretty isn't he! Shishishi!" I opened my eyes, my face not showing it but my eyes betrayed slight shock. This should be an insult considering I'm 100% male, but for some reason I don't feel that angry much less annoyed.
I grinned, "Thanks for the compliment, Captain!" I suppose I'll keep up this child naivety a little longer, its not that hard considering that I'm actually am a child.
Zoro was still staring at me (it actually looked like he was glaring at me but I don't blame him since his face is naturally scary.)
Hmm...what if...?
I decided to test something.
I turned to him, acting as if I was surprised that he was still staring at me (And I may or may have not noticed the very slight flinch I saw when I made eye contact)
I childishly winked at him (A very innocent child wink), as hoped, Zoro flushed and looked away abruptly.
I smiled good naturally as I leaned forward, purposely invading his personal space, "Ma, I don't mind if you think I'm pretty or not, just try not to fall for me Zoro-nii-san, I'm only 12 after all."
Zoro spluttered curses which I promptly ignored as Luffy laughed. "Shishishishi! You're so funny Zoro, Akira!" I smiled happily as if being praised by Luffy was my greatest accomplishment.
"Arigato, Senchou-san!" I beamed as sparkles sparkled around me. Acting. One of the greatest traits ever.
~ROSES ARE RED, VIOLETS ARE BLUE, I DO NOT OWN ONE PIECE, AND YOU PROBABLY DON'T TOO.~
"THAT IDIOT!" Zoro yelled as Luffy was flying away from the beak of a giant bird. I was holding my crystal ball including some playing fortune-telling cards which I found in my backpack.
"Ara..." I said as if calmly not expecting. I looked at my crystal ball and frowned at the ball.
"I didn't see that in the future, I thought I saw Luffy trying to catch a large bird and hilariously slash miserably failing."
"THAT'S THE SAME THING!" Zoro yelled at me with shark teeth. I pouted, pretending to be disappointed in my fortune-telling.
I sighed dramatically and tossed the crystal balls and cards behind me like they were trash while in reality they disappeared in my inventory once they hit the water.
"STOP PLAYING AROUND AND HELP ME SPEED THIS DAMN BOAT UP!" Zoro yelled at me.
I chuckled. "Well why didn't you say so in the first place, Zoro-nii san?"
I took off my fedora which Eve was sleeping under, I took him off my head, the movement waking him up.
"Sorry for the early wake-up call, but can you do me a favor and help us go faster?" Eve nodded, turning into a Vaporeon, he dived into the water and held the boat with his paws before using his tail as a propeller at insane speed, making the boat go twice as fast.
"Is that good, Zoro-nii san?" I smiled happily.
"AND WHAT'S WITH THE 'NII-SAN' PART?!"
"You don't like it?" I cocked my head innocently.
"DON'T- You know what, never mind."Zoro gave up. I chuckled with a close-eyed smile.
"Dewa.." I went into first-mate mode as my eyes opened with half mischievousness and serious.
No longer smiling, I started taking out some weapons and other trinkets I might need to use and hid them somewhere on my body and clothes.
"Lets get serious-" "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO WAS FOOLING AROUND"
I pretended he just didn't interrupt me as I put some kunai (ninja throwing knives) disguised as hairpins and wound my waist-length hair around it as it hanged as if tied in a pony tail.
"The bird seems to be following the wind current, which is heading to Orange Town. Eve, change course, we'll get there first." Taking out a compass, I started mumbling about the course and navigation.
"YOU DO KNOW HOW TO NAVIGATE!" Zoro accused me. "I did. But it was amusing to see Luffy state that you have no sense of direction." I said nonchalantly, using the telescope to see the island we were heading to.
"Besides..." I smiled as I put the telescope down. "Hah?" Zoro said, slightly annoyed.
I smiled a smile that was actually a smirk in disguise,
"I have a feeling we'll get a much more talented Navigator on this island."
~PROUD AS A PEAKCOCK, BRAVE AS A LION, STILL DO NOT OWN ONE PIECE~
"Hora Zoro, I told you that Senchou-chan was in the most nosiest spot." I said with a slightly bored tone as I inclined Luffy who was currently stuck in a cage.
"AKIRA! ZORO!" Luffy shouted happily from the cage, I walked up to him as Zoro had his cool moment with Nami. Crouching down to be eye-level with Luffy I smiled childishly. "Senchou, if you payed any attention to my visions of the future, this might not have happened."
"THAT'S RIGHT! YOU REALLY ARE PSYCHIC! SO COOL!" Luffy shouted with star eyes.
I sighed dramatically as I held my hands up and shrugged, the universal pose of 'giving up' or saying 'hopeless'
'Why do I even try?' Perhaps I won't tell what will happen in the future unless its important or has any amusement for me.
"Roronoa Zoro? The Pirate Hunter? I see, so you come to take my head." Buggy said with a creepy smile.
Zoro sighed. "I'm not a Bounty Hunter anymore, so not interested."
Buggy smirked. "Well, I'm interested in you. Taking you out will bring me lots of fame." Zoro looked back at him with a cool face.
"I wouldn't do that, you'd only get yourself killed." I watched this all before, Zoro's cool act will get ruined by underestimating the enemy and being stabbed in the back.
Sigh. He still has a lot to learn before even become an interest for Mihawk. Turning around, I got Luffy to move closer and turn around, then I started cutting the ropes with a small knife which was hiding in my shoes.
Once the ropes were cut, I noticed that Luffy wasn't paying attention to the fact since he was watching Zoro and Buggy fight.
"HAHAHAHA! FLASHILY DIE!" Buggy screeched, twirling knives in his hand as he charged at Zoro who was in a lazy stance.
Effortlessly, Zoro cut Buggy's arms and legs off. Nami looked away while the Buggy Pirates continued to cheer.
I sighed once again as Zoro dramatically put his swords back into their sheathes, obviously showing off in a way. "*Sigh* Yappari (as I thought)..." I could feel Luffy's eyes returning to me.
I took the two kunai's that were wounding up my hair out, and twirled them a couple of times to get the feeling.
The Buggy pirates started laughing loudly. Zoro turned to them, turning his back on the 'corpse' and looked at the laughing pirates.
"Hey! Whats so funny?" Zoro narrowed his eyes, not sensing the standing clown behind him who had a smug, shady look.
CLANG!
Zoro spun around to see me easily blocking off the hand holding a knife with my kunai's.
I was giving a cold look that send shivers down the spines of anyone who saw it. Buggy's hand attached back onto his body as he gave me a furious and surprised look.
"Attacking from behind is cowardly." I said calmly while twirling my kunai's. "However..."
I turned to Zoro with a look that held intensity and sharpness that made him flinch. "...Underestimating your opponent and going so far as to turning your back on them is a disgrace for a swordsman, Roronoa Zoro."
Zoro flinched again and looked down ashamed. I sighed, losing the intensity as I stopped twirling my kunai's. "Ma, that's fine, you are still a rookie after all." Zoro looked angered and somewhat confused.
Well, he will understand once he fight Mihawk.
Anyway, I stole Buggy's introduction so I suppose I'll do it for him. Pointing one of my kunai at him I smirked a taunting smirk with dark amusement flashing in my eyes.
"Buggy the Clown. Worth 15,000,000 beli. Ate the Bara Bara no Mi by accident while pathetically hiding it from your previous crew. Your powers include splitting yourself into pieces, anything above your feet has the ability to fly, somewhat acceptable swordsman ship including throwing knives, cunning and has an excellent knowledge of the real world AKA the Grandline. While you seem like your in control, you somehow conquer any situation with you reputation with undeserving luck. A love at hate relationship with the captain of the Red hair Pirates (Akagami no Kaizoku)"
Buggy's jaw dropped and Nami and Zoro looked well shocked. Luffy particularly looked like he didn't care that much.
"A splitting man? Is he a monster?" Luffy said somewhat curiously. I chuckled. "I don't believe you have the right to say that Senchou." He's a freaking rubberman and probably the biggest monster in the crew.
Buggy was somehow able to get himself back together (and not literally) and started laughing. "I didn't know I was that popul-"
"And I know all that because I psychic, not because your popular Buggy-san. After all.." I opened my eyes and stared at him tauntingly while kind of coldly.
"Someone like you is not a threat. Running away from the Grandline and purposely staying in the weakest of the seas? As you are now, you are nothing but a little fly that needs to be flicked away. Become more ambitious and maybe you can level up from that."
Buggy looked furious but smirked anyway, Hm, he's more patient then I thought.
"I don't need to be considered a big pirate to a little brat. I may have not been able to stab Roronoa, but that doesn't change the fact that he's useless against someone like me. The fight is over!"
"BUGGY! BUGGY! BUGGY!" Buggy's crew mates cheered. I faked sighing in annoyance. Nami and Zoro looked very troubled while Luffy was shaking with rage.
"ATTACKING FROM BEHIND IS COWARDLY, YOU BIG NOSE!!"
~SILENCE~
~WHOOSH~
"Pfft!"
~SILENT MOMENT RUINED BY AKIRA'S SNICKERING.~
"Who're...you..calling...A BIG NOSE?!" Buggy raged. I was bending over, trying to cover up my snickering. Man, watching it all happen right in front of you is definitely more funny then watching it on a laptop.
"Big nose...fufufufu...its funny..b-because...its...true." I was able to calm myself down a bit as I ran to cover Luffy, using my kunai again to fling away the knife thrown my Buggy like swatting a fly.
I took another look at Buggy.
"Pfft!" I started snickering again, not worried about Luffy. "Big nose...ha, I can't get over it....fufufu.." While Buggy was still raging, he was smart enough to throw another knife at Luffy, as I expected and like it happened in the anime, Luffy caught it between his teeth and smiled before breaking it.
"Buggy! I'm going to kick your ass!"
Those are some powerful jaws...
"Kick my ass? In your dreams! I'm gonna kill all four of you!" Four? Oh yeah, I forgot about Nami. I decided to voice my thoughts out loud to appear more natural. (Not I need to do any hardcore acting on air heads like Zoro and Luffy.)
"Four?.." I said outloud, then turned a sharp gaze to Nami who also flinched like Zoro. I pretended to widened my eyes in slight surprise. "That's right, you. I saw you in my visions (AKA anime episodes which are now known as visions by moi)"
"Visions? What visions?" Nami asked, slightly suspicious while still obviously curious, despite the situation.
"HOW SHALL I FINISH YOU OFF?" Buggy laughed loudly, not noticing our little interaction. Not that I really mind, I didn't really feel like explaining to Nami now anyway.
The other Buggy Pirates laughed like it was the funniest joke they heard all year.
Nami, remembering the situation looked distressed. "This is it. We're finished." Did she not remember that Zoro was right next to her, still healthy and not stabbed?
Then Luffy started laughing him dying was the funniest joke he heard all year.
"HAHAHAHAHA! Kill me, my ass!" Luffy then turned his sight to me and Zoro.
"RUN! AKIRA, ZORO!" "WHAT?!" Zoro looked appropriately shocked and confused. "They came here to save you, and now you're telling him to run?! What about you?!" Nami protested with 'common sense'
Luffy just smiled widely with confident eyes.
I pretended the realize what he meant to the same time as Zoro. "Roger that." Zoro and I said at the same time.
"You fool!" Buggy shouted as he charged towards Zoro. Intercepting them, I fought him off easily with my kunai's.
"Zoro!" I smirked. Zoro getting my silent order, started running towards the giant cannon where Nami was.
"Hey! Don't ignore me like that!" Buggy yelled. I cut his arms off to catch his attention.
As they reattached themselves, I smirked at Buggy. "You're swords skills are not bad, but still weak." I pointed out childishly with a small happy smile as I had not just insulted him.
"I'LL KILL YOU FIRST, YOU BRAT!" Oh, looked like I finally broke through his patience. I should award myself later.
It was exhilarating as Buggy's throwing knives and my kunai's connected in a high speed rally. I wasn't lying exactly on what I said before. Buggy's skill in swords would technically be very high in my old world, but in here and compared to the Grandline, I would compare it to the skill of a second in charge Marine.
My ears picked up a loud sound as I turned around for a quick moment to see that Zoro had flipped the cannon and Nami had just lit it.
Buggy realized this and froze in fear. It was kind of stupid since he could have just moved out of the way if he was that scared.
I imitated a smile from Sebestian in Black Butler and bowed like a butler. "Dewa, it was enjoyable rally, Big-nose-san. I bid you adieu for now." Then with a slightly inhuman jump I somersaulted and landed besides Nami who flinched in surprise while Zoro glanced at me with a slight narrow of his eyes.
I suppose seeing a 12-year old child somersault 6 meters in the air and land without loosing any balance is unusual here.
"WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! THERE'S STILL A SPECIAL BUGGY BOMB IN THERE!" Buggy panicked with red veined eyes and sweating.
Luffy made a noise of excitement.
"WAIT, THAT'S DANGEROUS! STOP! STOP!!"
Buggy's panicked cries were ignored as Zoro and Nami covered there ears while I already had earplugs in my ear. My hearing is extra sensitive now.
BOOOOOOM!!

Omake: (Not connected to the real story)
"What do you mean you saw me in your so-called visions?" Nami asked, hands on her hips.
"Like I just said. I. saw. you. in. my. visions. of. the. future." Akira said happily, unconsciously insulting her in a way since he said it like was explaining it to a kid.
"I get that, I mean what you saw." Nami said, annoyed.
"Well, the only time I actually pay attention to you in my visions were when you were kicking a perverted walking skeletons, using your charms to manipulate a blond cook, and running a green-haired swordsman clean of any money."
I sighed, pitying all those people who will soon have debts or be abused (even though some of them deserve it) by the orange navigator who only loves money and mikan.
"Whoever marries you is a poor poor brave man..." I pitied, faking tears while dodging Nami's punches with ease.
