"Ocean blue eyes looking in mine, I feel like I might sink and drown and die."
A simple girl, daughter of a pirate captain, meets the future "King of the Pirates" and begrudgingly decides to join him on his adventure to find the One Piece.
CO...
A loud yell and then a crash resonated in the girls' ears. Nami straightened from her position and bent down from trying to hide the male Marine. Artemisia was on high alert as well. Who knows who this person was. They could be a Marine too. It could be another person breaking in. It would suck either way. Artemisia was determined to get the map just as much as Nami was. Neither girl would back down so quickly from it.
Looking through the shelves, Nami tried to see who or what crashed into the room. Artemisia ducked her head down to keep herself from being seen but ensured she could see who it was. She was only able to make out legs and sandals from her position. She looked over to see if Nami was making any progress, only to see her continually ducking down and coming back up. It was enough to make Artemisia want to bust out laughing. She didn't. Instead, she stood up slowly to get a glimpse at the mystery person.
Relief filled her body as soon as she was who it was. She stepped out from behind the shelf, much to Nami's dismay. Artemisia crossed her arms and stared at the person with a pointed look, "Luffy, how did you get in here?"
"Misi!" Luffy exclaimed. She should've known it was him. Obviously, Artemisia hadn't been traveling with him long, but there was still one thing that anyone could tell, even a complete stranger. How destructive he was. If anyone would come flying through the roof of a Marine base, it might as well have been him. Luffy stepped out from behind the shelves he was standing behind and Nami slowly joined the two. Nami was still on high alert. She quickly grabbed her staff and pointed it at him, "Whoa! Hey, hey, hey! No, don't do that."
Instead of lowering the staff like Luffy told her, Nami kept it firmly on him. She had an authoritative look in her eye that wasn't there before. She never broke her gaze away from him once, "I'm taking you into custody for trespassing on a Marine base." There was one thing that was flawed in her plan. Artemisia was also wearing a Marine uniform. Artemisia was with Nami. The pieces kind of put themselves together.
Even ignoring that fact, which Artemisia knew Luffy did, Luffy could see through her charade, "Ah. Better take yourself into custody too, 'cause you're not a Marine." Luffy shook his head, taking a step forward.
"Am too."
"Great defense," Artemisia sarcastically said, nodding. "Really." Nami only glanced at her from the corner of her eyes before focusing back on Luffy. Any person could clearly see that she was telling the girl to shut her trap and not get them caught. More specifically, don't get her caught. Artemisia didn't expect Nami to do her any favors. They just met. She seemed like the type to have trust issues... Artemisia's type, to be honest.
