'I'm so glad I had the wisdom to wear my bathing suit under these clothes' you thought to yourself. Then again, looking around it seemed that everyone had the same idea as well.

"You guys are going down!" Nami hissed as she viciously pumped her water gun.

"Ahh! Nami's mad!" Ussop screamed

"She's really mad!" Chopper reiterated

"Is this safe?" You asked as you analyzed the water gun in your hand skeptically.

It was a lovely shade of dark blue that matched the flowers in your hair and rested surprisingly comfortably in your hands. On your hip were two water tanks connected with pipes, which joined to your gun. For a water fight, this felt excessive.

"In my research, a little water has only killed a little over 500 people not including slips and falls. We should be ok" Robin tried to reassure you.

"R-right..." You sweatdropped.

'Why do you even know that?'

"Don't worry (Y/n)! These guns weren't made to kill, they were made to be super fun!" Franky posed.

'Tell that to Nami'

"(Y/n)-swan! I promise I won't let any of them hurt you!" Sanji proclaimed as he spun with his gun in hand. "Then as a reward for being your knight, I can get a kiss!"

"Why do you have to be so damn loud?!" Zoro grumbled as he tried to turn over and sleep.

"What was that you overgrown weed!?"

"Everyone is so lively! But then again I'm the only one that's dead! Yohohohoho!" Brook chuckled.

"Let's get started already!" Luffy cheered with two guns in hand.

By some means, you had managed to get into two teams. Team Nami consisted of Robin, Sanji, Franky, and yourself, whilst team Luffy consisted of Usopp, Chopper, Brook, and supposedly Zoro who was sleeping by the steps.

Franky wasted no time in drenching the enemy team to the point where you almost felt sorry for them. He had two hydrants on his shoulders just gushing water which got Chopper and Usopp. Only Luffy and Brook reacted in time. With that, everyone began firing at each other and Nami was on a warpath. Robin made the most of her devil fruit sprouting hands in the wackiest places before firing away. Luffy got hit but it didn't stop him from a counter-attack firing at Franky and Sanji. Brook, on the other hand, was scrambling around dodging all the attacks until he was in close range to attack Robin. In this time Usopp and Chopper had recovered from their initial slip up and were now setting their targets on you.

'Oh yay, I get to deal with the sharpshooter' you wept.

The two of them released a merciless range of attacks, which you clumsily dodged, effectively dumfounding them enough to give you a chance to fire back.

"H-How!?" Ussop gawked

"That was awesome (Y/n)!" Choppers' eyes danced in excitement.

"It was complete luck I assure promise" you chuckled before dodging a surprise attack from Luffy.

"Ack! I missed!" He cried before crashing on the ground.

You probably would've fired at him if Nami didn't beat you to it. She pinned him under her foot and sprayed water relentlessly in his face.

"What do we learn?" She gave a disturbing chuckle.

The childish water fight continued for a while and the whole ship was filled with laughter and squeals of delight, sprinkled with the occasional shriek of discomfort. Zoro joined the brawl when Sanji 'accidentally' mistook him as part of the deck and spilled water on him. The two of them were in a whole other brawl amongst themselves. By the end of the fun, you were all scattered across the deck panting heavily, with tired snickers.

"Ugh, now I have to get changed" Nami whined, sat on the bench around the mast.

"Agreed" Robin smiled before standing sat right next to her. "Wait? How are you not wet Miss Baker?"

"What!?" Everyone shouted, jumping up to take a good look at you.

Still trying to catch your breath, you were sat down back against the ship railing trying to dry off in the sun. So you flinched when you noticed that compared to everyone else you were only a little damp.

"Agh! I-I mean I couldn't dodge the water balloons in time so I got a little wet" You babbled.

"Only a little wet huh?" Nami spoke quietly. "We can't have that now can we..."

On cue, Luffy, Usopp, Brook, and Franky slowly dragged themselves to their feet and made their way towards you. It was beyond terrifying like they were being pulled by strings, Nami being the puppet master. Instincts took control, forcing you to your feet to clumsily stumble away.

"Uhm... Guys?" You tried weakly.

Your breath hitched when your back came into contact with a new obstacle. Looking up, your eyes landed on Zoro's smirk, sending a cold tingle straight down your spine. Without batting an eye he swept you up off your feet getting a small squeak from you and a large threat from Sanji. You clung to him for support and did your best not to try and trace the exposed scar on his chest.

"Don't take it personally (Y/n)" He whispered in your ear.

'Don't take what personally?' you gave him a baffled look, but that changed when he tossed you over the side of the ship. 'What?'

"AAAAAAGGHH! NO! WAI-!" You screamed

Initially, the stinging sensation from the fall was the only thing you could feel. You had to fight the urge to gasp unless you wanted a mouthful of seawater. It was around that point the coolness of the water started to set in and numb the pain.

'Air... You still need air (Y/n)' your body kindly reminded you, encouraging you to kick furiously towards the light.

Breaking through the water's surface you gasped and desperately tried to wipe the seawater from your face, only to be faced with a few more splashes.

"THAT IDIOT!!" A green blur cried as it dived headfirst into the water.

"(Y/N)-SWAN! DON'T WORRY I'LL SAVE YOU AND BRING YOU INTO MY EMBRACE" Sanji paddled towards you.

"That's fine Sanji, I can swim" you smiled as you treaded the water.

"But what happens if you get a stitch" he pointed out as he made his way over and wrapped his arms around you to support you. "As a gentleman, I mustn't let that happen"

"Uh thank you Sanji" you let out a small laugh placing your forehead on his chest to rest.

Sanji wouldn't let you slip under the water, but you didn't want him to do all the work so you kept kicking your feet to stay afloat. You were gripping onto his arms for support. Your body was flush against his. Even though he was wearing a thin white shirt and shorts it couldn't stop the lovely material clinging to his body, outlining his already defined muscles. So it was no surprise that your closeness resulted in you going cherry red. Sanji was also facing the same dilemma of your top was glued to your (s/c) skin, strands of your (h/t) (h/c) hair stuck to your face and your embarrassment painting your cheeks. He turned to face the other way so that his nosebleed didn't taint his image of heaven.

'How has this guy not died from blood loss yet?' you sighed.

After he finished turning the sea red you turned his head back to face you and used your sleeve to wipe off the blood remaining blood. Your actions shocked him slightly but as soon as he recovered he snatched your hand away from his face.

"(Y/n)-san you shouldn't dirty yourself with my blood" He stated flatly.

"You're doing it again Sanji, you're beating yourself up again for no reason" you gave him a serious look. "But don't worry, no matter how many times you beat yourself up, you've got people here who will remind you of your worth and help you heal"

You gave him a smile and made him release your hand so you could continue your work. However your words started to settle in your mind and you began to panic.

"Th-that doesn't mean you should keep doing it though" you corrected. "Ok Sanji?"

A quick nod and small smile was all you needed before you continued wiping his face. He didn't try to stop you or move your hands away. He was too addicted to your touch to push you away a second time. His blue eyes remained focused on your (e/c) ones. Unfortunately his concentration on you only resulted in another nosebleed. Zoro soon resurfaced with a very nauseated looking Luffy on his shoulder.

"Luffy!" you called over in concern.

He gave you a few gargled noises in response.

'When did he even jump in?'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"When will you get it through that thick skull that you sink like a hammer in the sea" Nami scolded as Chopper pumped out seawater.

"But I thought (Y/n) was in trouble" Luffy defended

"That doesn't mean you're allowed to make the situation worse" Nami snapped.

According to Robin as soon as you went under Luffy and Sanji started to panic and jumped in after you. So knowing Sanji would prioritize your safety before Luffy's Zoro jumped in as well. The rest was simple, Franky through down a ladder and you all had to climb up.

"N-Nami, I think he gets it" you spoke up, feeling a bit guilty seen as he did it for you.

"Tch! Our captain is a moron" She huffed before storming off.

"Luffy Thank you for jumping in after me, but you shouldn't cause your crew so much grief" you smiled.

"I-I'm sorry" Luffy gurgled.

"(Y/N)-SWAN ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T NEED CPR!" Sanji twirled around.

'I'm positive the only times you need to use that is when someone's stopped breathing or their pulse has slowed'

"Pretty sure Sanji"

"Well, I guess I'll start getting the BBQ going" Sanji headed towards the kitchen with a towel draped on his head.

"MEAT!" Luffy shot upright dribbling slightly.

"HE'S OK NOW!?" Chopper and Brook screamed

"GO BACK AND DROWN YOU GLUTTON!" Sanji yelled from the kitchen.

"Shall we go and get changed?" Robin chuckled before taking your hand and heading in the direction of the bathroom. "I have a strong feeling this won't end anytime soon"

You looked at all of them already bracing for a fight and sighed. "I'm right behind you Robin"

----------------------------------------------------------

Robin had offered you the use of the bathroom to get rid of the seawater stench you had, which you were grateful for. Nami had just finished using it so it was all yours for the taking. Stripping off your overalls and bathing suit you allowed the warm water to and soap to calm yourself. Robin later came back to join you, with your backpack in hand.

"I figured you'd need this" she smiled as she placed it to the side.

"A-Ah right! Th-Thank you Robin" you muttered with a blush, thankful for the amount of steam in the room.

Keeping your outfit simple, you wore a white vest with a light (f/c) sweater wrapped around your waist and some blue jeggings. It was going to get cooler later on so these clothes would keep you warm. You stepped out onto the deck and a gentle breeze swept through the stray strands of your (h/c) hair which was still in a cute bun.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!?" A familiar voice demanded.

"Her? Do you mean (Y/n)?" Nami questioned.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW HER NAME?"

"When will the meat be ready Sanji?" Luffy groaned.

"Meat?" Whispered another familiar voice.

"Oh? Don't you boys know what type of pirates we are?" Usopp's mischievous tone didn't go unnoticed by you.

"Wh-what d-do you m-mean?" a small voice stuttered.

"We're cannibals!" Zoro was grinning like a maniac and most of the crew seemed to be playing along.

"AAAGGGGHH!!!" A chorus of screams filled the ship.

A hand shot to your mouth when you saw Issac, Liam, and Ian huddled together by the side of the ship, each holding an oddly shaped branch. They were all trembling as Zoro and Usopp closed in

"Y-YOU ATE (Y/N)!!!" Liam accused tearing up.

Isaac passed out as soon as the thought sank in. A few tears spilled from his petrified face.

"Oh dear," Robin chuckled.

"HE FAINTED!!" Chopper panicked. "HE NEEDS A DOCTOR!!"

"Isaac! I'll make you pay for what you've done!" Ian roared, gripping his branch whilst protectively standing in front of his passed out friend.

"Zoro-san I think you're scaring them too much" Brook sipped on some tea.

"AAAAGGGHH! A TALKING DEAD GUY!" Liam and Ian screamed.

"How rude! I am very much alive and I'm obviously a skeleton!" Brook corrected.

"You're scaring them too!" Nami struck the poor skeleton.

"SHE KILLED THE DEAD GUY!!!"

"Are we gonna die, Ian? I don't wanna die, I want (Y/n) back" Isaac sniffled, as he laid on the ground and desperately tried to wipe the tears away.

It was probably that phrase that snapped you out of your statue-like state. You hot-footed it down the stairs and dashed towards the three boys.

"What in Rodger's name are you three doing here?!" You shouted, surprising everyone.

There was a sweet moment of silence giving you the opportunity to say goodbye to your kidneys and liver. Branches were tossed down when all three boys dived into your stomach babbling gibberish and bawling their eyes out. It was clear they didn't think they were gonna see you again.

"Agh! guys!" you rasped "Is it so easy to believe that I'd get eaten?"

"(Y-Y-Y-YYYY/NNNNN)!!!!" They wailed.

You let out a sigh and soothingly rubbed their backs.

"There there. Nothing's happened. I'm fine, see?" you breathed, only encouraging more tears.

'Guess I'm gonna have to wait before I get answers... but in the meantime' your headshot up to glare at the cause, who were now trying to make a timely exit.

"And where do you think you guys are going?" You called sweetly, but the frosty look in your eyes said otherwise.
