One Piece (Love Story) [Part Two]

Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety One [Rewritten]

-Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety-One-

Time passed relatively quickly and all too soon dinner was served.

I couldn't stop the smile that spread across my face as I sat there—drinking in the sight of just how loud and rowdy everyone was as food was tossed around. Desperately did the others try to defend their food from being stolen by our starry eyed captain whose arms stretched every which way. Cheerfully did I laugh as I gently nudged the swordsman beside me, smile only widening when he nudged me right back before we rubbed our noses together as we shared a plate, neither of us fazed by the chaos around us. Though it was long before my attention was dragged over towards Nami and Luffy as the ginger haired woman loudly scolded our captain for his brash attempts at stealing her and everyone else's food. Though it seems that her shouting only fell on deaf ears as she was simply ignored by the rubber man who continued what he was doing, amusing both Robin and I greatly.

"Oh, wow! Look at that one, Robin, Skylar—isn't it cute?" Nami excitedly asked as she held up the magazine she had been flipping through, eagerly pointing at the clothes she had taken interest in.

"It is" Robin nodded. "I think anything on this page would look beautiful on you, Nami" she complimented.

"Agreed, but then again, I think someone like you would look good in just about anything" I smiled.

"I was thinking exactly the same thing for you two" Nami nodded as we all shared a laugh before continuing to point out clothes that caught our interest—occasionally sharing opinions on them, none of us all that bothered by the vast difference in our sense of style as compliments and laughter as shared. "So, Skylar," the ginger suddenly said as she flipped through her magazine, "is Zoro still training?" she curiously asked, causing me to look up from my own magazine which sat in my lap.

"Yep, last I check he was" I nodded as I idly flipped to the next page and briefly glanced over the selection of clothes that were being modeled. They were nice, but already was I flipping to the next page upon realizing that none of them really caught my interest. I had never been big into fashion like the two women before me, but it was nice to indulge in their interests with them from time to time—it made for a nice bonding experience.

"Wouldn't you rather be up there watching him?" Robin teasingly asked as if noticing the bored look that would occasionally settle on my face between the moment's of silence we'd all share as we'd flip through the magazines in her hands. I blushed at the question as I scratched my cheek, quick in avoiding eye contact with the now two giggling women.

"I-it's not that I don't like watching him train...but sometimes it's nice to hang out with you two..." I shyly mumbled. "You know get some girl time in as most people would call it" I softly smiled as I peered back down at the magazine in my lap and fiddled with the corner of the page.

"Aw! How sweet of you!" Nami cooed, causing me to chuckle as my blush only seemed to worsen.

-Later-

The sun was already beginning to set by the time the sound of a violin being played was heard—it was a soothing and pleasant sound, one that echoed all throughout the ship and ceased all chatter between the two women and I as we silently sat there and listened for a moment before slowly making our way up on deck.

"Look at that, finally got some wind" Franky noted as the wind started to pick up.

"Oh, hello" Brook greeted once he finally noticed that his music had drawn all of us out onto the deck.

"Listen up, it's time to get moving" Luffy grinned as Zoro was the last to arrive, finally coming down from the crow's nest.

"Yeah!" we cheered.
