Extravagant Adventures

"Shishishi!" The sound of Luffy chuckling woke me up, my eyes sluggishly opened and I noticed Luffy was sitting on top of the overly large dumbbell as Zoro lifted it. I stood up and walked over to them as Zoro's eyes landed on me,

"You mind getting on as well?" He asked. Shrugging, I grabbed onto the bar and lifted myself up as he lifted it up, sitting on top of it with Luffy, I looked up at the sky.

'I have to admit that it is pretty peaceful, besides all the large fish jumping out of the water.' I leaned back and hung upside down on the bar, "Nh?" looking out at the sea, I caught a glimpse of a Navy ship heading towards us. As a small black dot and smoke shot toward us, my eyes squinted only to widen when I realized what it was, quickly sitting up to take action, Zoro acted first. He tossed us up in the air before rushing to grab his swords.

Covering my mouth with my hand, we started falling back down; I looked at Luffy who kept his wide smile. A sigh escaped my lips as I removed the hand from my mouth and jumped off onto the cannon ball; I set my boots on fire as I kicked off of it and landed on the deck, the cannon firing back towards the enemy ship.

"Wow!" Chopper awed.

"Awesome!" Luffy said in amazement.

"Zuuuber cool!" Franky said as I stretched out my hand, sending a wave of flames towards the nearing ship, setting it on fire. Shaking my hand slightly as I slid them into my pockets.

"Join my crew!" Luffy popped up next to me, smiling causing me to jump slightly. I sighed and shook my head.

"Like I said, I'm just staying with you guys until I get home." He pressed his lips up into a pout, watching as I walked off to the aquarium. 'I wonder If I'll even be able to get back, what if I can't?' sighing as I laid down on the couch 'I guess there would be no point to even planning anything out if that's the case.' Staring up at the ceiling, when Nami entered.

"You don't like fish yet you're hanging out in the aquarium? That's strange." I chuckled and nodded.

"Well, at least I don't have to look at them. Besides, it smells better than out there, not to mention that there aren't any large fish that just jump out at you in here." Huffing as I sat up and tapped the back of my index finger on the tank glass. She chuckled.

"Well, I hope you don't get too worn out, our crew can be a lot for others." I shrugged.

"Besides the overly energetic captain it's kind of similar to some people I hang out with." 'Not to mention the mental stability, because let's be honest. The League of Villains is hardly a poster child group for perfect mental stability. At least here I don't have to keep one eye open just in case Toga gets a craving to stab, If it wasn't for my quick reflexes I'd be more than dead from her continuous stabbing.'

My face twisted, 'Exactly why I opt for sleeping in my apartment rather than the league's hideout, less damage control as well since Toga simply goes out to kill someone instead of chasing one of us all around the hideout.' chuckling, "I guess I kind of miss them. Besides the psycho moments where they're like feral cats, get too close and they scratch, bite, claw, or cut." Mumbling.

'Twice, Kurogiri, and I were the only ones who never really got that way. I mean, Twice had his panic/life crisis moments when his mask got removed, and I had my panic attacks. But Kurogiri didn't really experience those things, I think he was more annoyed to have to take care of Shig and everyone else like they were children. That and him maybe having a fairly normal life.'

I was brought out of my thoughts by the loud call of land; looking up at Nami who simply chuckled as she made her way out to the deck. I sighed before standing up and following, glancing around a bit and watching as the others prepared to dock. 'Let's hope that the overly energetic captain doesn't cause trouble again.' chuckling to myself as everyone decided on what they would do, Franky and Brook decided to stay and guard the ship while everyone else went off to do their own things.

Figuring it'd be fun to follow Luffy around a bit, and possibly keep him out of trouble, I kept close to his side. He didn't seem to mind, his eyes lit up at anything interesting. 'He's like a six-year old kid who just entered a candy shop.' I couldn't help the small smile that came to my face as I watched him, 'Reminds me of whenever I'd sneak Shoto out to the candy store or mall and his eyes would light up at almost everything we saw.'

If my tear ducts hadn't burnt, then I'd probably be tearing up right now, I guess I've always been this way though. I'd push down my feelings to act strong in front of my siblings, then at the dead of night when I couldn't sleep I'd silently cry until I eventually passed out. Shoto would sometimes come into my room at night since he always used to get nightmares, and I think he could tell I had been crying. But he never brought it up.

Some part of me thinks he knew how hard I tried, and how hard I failed with protecting them from dad. I still regret not leaving at least a single burn mark on him that day, and I regret not being able to protect Shoto when mom lost it and gave him that scar. I nearly burnt everything down when I saw him at that training camp. A sickly tingle in my stomach and sour taste drenching my tongue when I remembered the helpless look in his eyes when I took his classmate.

It was the same one I saw whenever he trained with dad and even when I trained with dad. It was the same look I had when the house burnt down and I crawled out the back, watching in pain as my siblings and dad looked at the burning house. That same indescribable emotion in his eyes, I couldn't tell if it was regret or anger, but neither of them felt remorse or sorrow for what happened to me.

I had stopped walking at some point; I didn't know when, but Luffy was standing in front of me with a neutral expression on his face.

"What?" It came out a bit hoarse as he hummed,

"You look sad." I chuckled-or didn't. I wanted to chuckle, but it came out as more of a half chuckle half whimper, 'Shit' I glanced away from him and rubbed the back of my neck.

"Don't worry about it, nothing serious."

Smiling softly, though his brows furrowed and he held a stern expression. 'Damn kids, always catch on quick to things.' I couldn't help but smile though, when I noticed he was thinking, his eyes drifting off somewhere far. He reminds me of Shoto when he was younger, except appearance-wise, the Todoroki genes are certainly special.

Ruffling his hair and chuckling, "C'mon, let's go. I think they have a meat shop over here." his face immediately lit up.

"Meat!" he cheered before running full speed ahead,

"Hey wait up!" I called out as I chased after him. Smiling as I finally caught up to him "Slow down next time, alright?" he chuckled as we entered the shop.

The next few days weren't all too eventful, I had a relatively alright conversation with Brook. Read some historical books with Robin, helped Franky build a few things with Usopp, fixed a few things as well. I played some board games with Zoro, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper, and helped Sanji cook in the kitchen.

I had asked Robin a few things about this world, if there was some sort of government, any heroes, or villains. Mostly to better understand if my theory of me, possibly teleporting to an alternative universe is true or not. Of which had shown correct, that or it could just be a different planet? But I highly doubt that, since this place is like earth, just with a few huge and minor differences.

And because these guys are definitely human, though nothing is certain. I could be having a crazy realistic dream right now, and my "real body" could be laying in the league's hideout. Toga could be poking me with her knife for all I know. Sighing, I combed a hand through my hair. 'I'm overthinking this too much.'

From what Robin told me, it seems there aren't exactly heroes or villains. There is a government, civilians, pirates, yonko's, and warlords, who're basically pirates that have government level power and are a kind of the government's lap dogs. At least that's what I understood, basically pirates who offer to beckon to the government's requests, and in return they get "protection" and won't get hunted down by the government unless they hurt civilians or attack the navy.

Then there's the Yonko's who are as, if not more, powerful than the government. And they each own their own lands, they are basically untouchable pirates. Though I definitely think I missed some important stuff, not like I care too much, anyway. I care little about politics, unless it somehow involves me, which I doubt would even happen in the first place.

She explained some other stuff like the devil fruits, "the worst generation", some important figures, even explained that there was a resistance against the government involving "celestial dragons" who're like the descendents of the world creator. Or just people who climbed up in ranks and bought their way in, quite boring if you ask me.

After that long conversation and explanation, I trained with Zoro for a bit. Not like I knew how to use swords, but we did sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, etc. I coached him and he, nearly did the same. Though it seemed more like examining and scaling, It was slightly hitting a sensitive nerve since all I could feel was his eyes on me.

Constantly scaling my worth, judging if I'm good enough, if I'm even slightly better than the others. I lifted the bar up again before finally setting it down, my skin crawled. Goosebumps spread on my arms, flames moving under my skin as I tried to cool down and clear my thoughts. My breathing was uneasy, I shook my arms a bit as if to put out the flames. My hands slid into my hair as I walked towards the wall.

Crouching down as my forehead pressed against the wood; I took a deep breath before exhaling, repeating this action a few more times before my shoulders slumped and my breath became steady. 'I hate this, being left to my thoughts, having nothing to distract me fully. Especially when this guy keeps staring holes through me.' "Would you mind? I get your cautiousness, but you're giving me a bit of ptsd." Sighing as I stood back up and returned my hands to my side.

I turned slightly to glance at Zoro, noticing his expression lightened up a bit. He seemed to have a certain understanding of what just happened; his expression was softer and apologetic with some awkwardness. 'I'm guessing he's experienced the same before, probably a touchy subject as well.' Brushing a hand through my hair, I walked out of the room; I could just feel the steam rising from my arms, so I took to cooling off in the shower.

Afterward, Chopper insisted on checking my grafts. He kept nagging me about not taking proper care of them, and how he's surprised by how I kept them from rotting. Which one, ouch, two, I'm surprised as well. I just chucked pain killers in my mouth and soaked in a bath of disinfectant, that sometimes did alright. Other times Shig had to take me to his "Special" doctor, I hated those times because I'd always feel like crap the next few weeks.

He cleaned them up a bit, properly sewed back the lifted areas with some special fireproof medical thread, as he said. And fixed whatever needed fixing, so basically everything. He offered to sow the ones on my face but I preferred the staples, so instead, he switched them for cleaner and nicer ones. Then he wrapped some bandages around the parts he sowed, in order to protect them from infection etc, and he gave me a list of things I couldn't or had to be careful doing for the next month.

I have to admit that I look a lot better than before, but I seriously hate the restricted movement. I can't work out, fight, or even do yoga! (Not like I would anyway) If my movement hadn't become restricted by the pain before, then it's definitely restricted now. Seriously, what a pain. I'm going to die before I let something restrict me from moving when it counts, though I don't mind not exercising for a while.

But fighting is different, it's what I normally do. It's basically a job for me, besides the pay. 'Cause I don't get a single penny with the type of work I do, just more burnt skin, some entertainment, and a bit of revenge. But now I'm stuck here on this ship in the middle of the ocean with no apparent knowledge of how to get home.
