【A lost crew member】

■■■■■■

"Who finished all the food again?!" Sanji shouted, which made Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, and Y/N flinch. A few hours ago while Sanji was busy having a fight with Zoro over a not-so-serious topic, the ship's captain, Luffy sneaked into the kitchen and stole some food but during the process, he was caught by Usopp, Chopper, and Y/N. The three threatened the boy and in the end, he had to share it with them, but now that Sanji was aware of the deeds, there was a ninety-nine percent chance that he wouldn't spare any of them.

"That food supply was supposed to last for two weeks!! And it's all gone in just five days!"

The sniper swallowed thickly as he imagined the consequences of what would happen once Sanji knew that they were behind it. "Sa... Sanji!! It was them!!" He said and pointed at the other three, who were utterly shocked at the betrayal they faced at the moment. "You bitch-" Y/N cursed and grabbed his collar, "How dare you do that?! You are not supposed to stab your friends in the back like that!! Even you ate the food with us!!"

"YES!! Y/N'S RIGHT!!" Luffy and Chopper joined in, while Sanji fumed with anger. He walked down the stairs and stood in front of the four of them, passing a deadly glare. "Y/N darling, you can eat whenever you want..." He said in his sweet voice and offered a hand to her, which she took gladly. "I would like you to step aside for a moment."

"Sanji... We- We are sorry!!" Luffy screamed as he backed up in an attempt to save himself, but attempts like those were useless. Sanji would not let go of the three. The male raised his leg up and swiftly kicked the three, sending them flying across the ship.

"Don't you dare eat without asking!!" He warned and turned around to face Y/N "Do you want to eat something?"

"No..."

"Alright, I'll cook you something delicious!!" Sanji cheered and ran towards the kitchen. "Wait! I said no!!" Y/N reminded, but Sanji was already working towards making a delicious meal for Y/N.

The ship was always cheerful, with something or the other going on and keeping the mood light and fun. It had been five days since they left Alabasta and were heading towards the direction that the log pose was pointing at.

Y/N sighed and sat next to Zoro who was busy taking care of his swords. You know, it's important to take proper care of your swords to prevent damage. "Hii!!" Y/N greeted, but the swordsman was too busy to give her a reply.

"That's rude, you know..."

"The only rude person I know is you..." He said, which greatly offended the female.

"I am not rude!"

"Yeah right"

"I hate to say this, but I hate you"

"Same"

Y/N only planned on talking to him, but the little conversation they had made everything awkward, but she still sat next to him because there wasn't anything else she wanted to do at the moment.

"Do you know which island we'll come across next?" He asked.

The question itself wasn't anything special. It was Y/N's role on the ship to guide the crew about the next island. But that particular question changed her mood. "I don't know." She replied, but her tone made Zoro look at her from the corner of his eye.

"I thought you traveled the whole grand line."

"Yes, I have. The next island-"

"Guys, I see an island up ahead!!" Her words were cut off by Nami who was pointing towards the approaching island.

That early...?

"WOW!! IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!!" Luffy cheered and jumped at his spot while looking at the island that was only a few miles away.

Everyone on the crew looked excited to go on another adventure, and the first impression they had of the island was... Beautiful. It wasn't like any of the islands they had seen before. The island had structured buildings but along with that, nature was also preserved in a nice manner.

"You were saying something." Zoro reminded, but Y/N didn't look well. She was looking down with her hair covering her face, so the swordsman didn't know what actually was going on. "The next island-" She spoke up, but her words were cut off once again when the waves suddenly rose up and the ship inclined towards the left side because of the huge waves which made Y/N and Zoro roll forward and eventually making Y/N drop off the ship, but she was quick enough to hold the railing. The weather had a drastic change. The sky was clear only a few minutes ago, and now they were facing a storm.

The ship shook, which made it difficult for everyone to stand still. "WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" Nami asked, but no one knew the answer to it. "WE ARE GOING TO DIE!!" Usopp and Chopper cried as the two hugged each other with tears in their eyes.

Robin used her devil fruit powers to hold everyone still in their places and prevent them from falling off the ship. "What's with this sudden climate change?" Nami questioned upon not understanding the unnatural phenomenon.

"The water's getting on the ship!" Sanji pointed out, and everyone started to freak out. Things were a mess, everyone tried their best to save the ship in the deadly weather, and they were successful in doing that, but that only happened when they crashed on the shore of the island.

"WE ARE GOING TO DIE!!!" Usopp shouted as the ship charged towards the landmass at a high speed and ended up crashing. Everyone coughed and dusted their clothes before starting to look for each other.

"Is everyone alright?" Luffy asked, and everyone gathered around each other.

"What are we going to do now? That was a really unusual thunderstorm." Nami said as she looked at the clear sky. "The sky even cleared up for a few minutes. Y/N... Do you anything about it? I guess we entered this island's climate."

...

"Y/N?" She inquired and look at every crew member. "Luffy... Zoro... Sanji... Usopp... Chopper... Robin...!! Where's Y/N?!"

"Wait what? She isn't here!! Where did she go?!" Sanji panicked and looked around. The crew grew anxious. There just faced a deadly scenario, and being a devil fruit user in such a situation is highly dangerous... If you fall into the ocean... It's game over for you.

Zoro recalled the moment when the turbulence happened and he along with Y/N rolled over to the edge. "Did she fall in the sea?!"

"What?!"

"No- No... Guys! Don't be so negative. I am sure she got separated. You know she can control thunderstorms, so maybe... Perhaps the reason the thunderstorm disappeared was that she controlled it, and then she got separated. She must be on this island. Let's look for her." Usopp stated.

"GUYS!! LOOK AT THIS!!" Chopper called out and everyone turned their attention to him. The tiny reindeer was holding a red jacket. "Isn't this Y/N's? She was wearing it."

Nami quickly grabbed the jacket and examined it, "It is Y/N's!! That means she is on the island. We can look for her!!"

"Alright!! Let's go and search for Y/N!!" Luffy cheered and wore his straw hat.

"Let me grab my clima tact," Nami stated and walked back towards the ship lying on the ground, but what Nami found there was something unexpected and shocking.

"Guys..." She spoke up and everyone turned around to face the female. "Look what I found..."

The crew members were confused at the puzzled sentences. Nami was holding some kind of white cloth and Y/N's bag. The orange-haired unfolded the white cloth and revealed it to everyone, which brought upon a wave of fear. The cloth was a long white coat with 'JUSTICE' written on it in big letters.

That was a piece of clothing that anyone in the world would recognize. After all... The ones who wear that are the ones who decide the justice that prevails around the globe.

"I found it in Y/N's bag..."

"Wait-" Usopp spoke up as his legs started to shake with fear, his lips trembled while the male connected all the dots that made sense to him.

"Y/N IS A MARINE?!"

"Just because it was in Y/N's bag doesn't mean it's hers!" Luffy rebutted.

The ship's doctor couldn't help but hug onto Usopp's leg and hide behind him. He couldn't digest the fact that they have been traveling with their enemy.

The Navy.

"Bu-But Luffy. You know Marines will never let go of pirates, and we have sailed the sea with her. What if she captures us? Everything will be over. WHAT IF I AM EXECUTED LIKE ROGERS?"

"Guys, I think this is the perfect time for us to escape and leave her behind," Nami suggested. "She separated her ways with us in Alabasta only to get her hands on this coat! If it's so important to her, then she must be a Marine. Do you remember she said that the thing in her bag is something that contains her hard work of five years? She must've been a Marine for five years! She tricked us, Luffy!!"

"Let's get our ship ready, and then we can leave!"

"NO!! I am not leaving without Y/N!!" Luffy stated and frowned. "I trust Y/N! She won't betray us like that!"

Sanji lit his cigarette and puffed it out as he walked and stood next to the captain, "I am not leaving either. We can't come to a conclusion without having a talk with Y/N."

Zoro sighed and walked over to Luffy as well, "If the captain doesn't leave, then I can't leave. Plus, I too wanna know the story behind that Marine coat."

And with that, the crew was split into two groups. Nami, Usopp, and Chopper wanted to leave the island as soon as possible without Y/N while on the other hand Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji wanted to search for Y/N to talk to her.

"You guys are letting your emotions take control! Y/N isn't that important! Let's just go!!" Nami said.

"SHE IS IMPORTANT! AND I WILL SEARCH FOR HER!!" Luffy shouted and started to walk the other way, with Zoro and Sanji following him.

"What should we do now?" Usopp asked, and Nami clenched her fist. "Let's figure out a way to get our ship back in the sea, and we also need to restock our supplies. And then we'll wait for them to come back after learning the truth!"

Everyone had their opinions about Y/N except Robin. She isn't connected to Y/N like Luffy is, and nor does she feel angry about the betrayal from Y/N. Her feelings are neutral.

"While you guys are at it... I'll guard the ship." Robin said.

I have been reading some books and the writing style is great and that makes me compare mine T-T

How's my style?
