Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Rest
They all flew over to the Miss Love Duck. Nami landed on the ship. She could see there were white icy marks on parts of the ship.
"So this was the aftermath?" Nami asked.
"Yes," NT replied. She added, "But the Miss Love Duck is a tough ship, she will survive."
Nami heard this and thought of the Going Merry. Her ship was wounded and crippled, on her last breaths. She looked at the women with demon wings, horns and a tail. She resembled her mum however the face was of Vivi`s. "Are you Vivi`s mum like BM was my mum?" Nami asked.
"You know that BM is not your true mum but she will provide you with all the motherly love," NT replied. "I am similar, I have Vivi`s mum face but not her, no one will replace her but I will give her and all the girls comfort when they need," NT replied.
Nami thought she was very motherly like BM was. HQ was more of a friend, she thought. "Thank you," Nami replied.
"Nami, Nojiko is in the medical room right now," Kaya informed her.
Nami nodded. "Thank you," she began, but NT interrupted with a teasing grin.
"No need to say thank you, you're part of the harem," NT teased. It was like a mother teasing her daughter when she brings a boy around.
Nami shook her head. "I'm only here to see my sisters," she said as she hurried down the stairs. She thought she never does think about Ben at all.
The girls watched her go, smiles playing on their lips. "She has more on her mind," Maya observed.
"A fight against the Captain," Conis added. She thought back to what she saw a few minutes ago.
"Usopp had his reasons, but going against his Captain..." Kaya trailed off, shaking her head.
"Merry was dear to him, but Luffy is smart and made a decision," Vivi replied.
Raki smiled, admiring the princess's wisdom. "You're right. We've given our loyalty to this crew, to Ben," she stated firmly. "We need to respect that or the crew will fall apart," she added.
"I hope everything will be fine," Kaya said, looking out at sea.
Vivi placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "I hope so too," she added softly.
Nami had walked down to the Medical Room, past Ben's Room. Nojiko had given a tour of the place. She could see some ice shards on the ceiling. Nami went down to the Medical Room and entered. She saw Nojiko, Saphir and Honey all sitting on their beds and talking to each other. They all were smiling.
"More medicine?" Saphir complained.
"It is good for you," Nojiko replied. She looked up and saw her sister Nami. "Nami," Nojiko said.
"Sis," Nami replied as she ran over and hugged her. "I was worried when they said you got hurt," she said, as small tears left in her eyes.
"I am fine," Nojiko replied as she hugged her sister. Nami looked at her. She did have a few bandages on her body.
She clenched her fist. "I should have a word with Ben for getting my sister hurt," Nami said. She looked angry. Honey and Saphir heard her anger but it seemed to be misguided.
"Sis, he protected me, all of us," Nojiko replied.
"But he said you wont get hurt," Nami shouted.
"I am not a weak defenseless child now," Nojiko replied firmly.
"Nami, is there something else that is wrong?" Nojiko added.
"I don't know. Usopp left the crew, fighting with Luffy and now you are injured and I heard Ben and Alvida have not woken up," Nami said. She added, "It seems everything is falling part."
Nojiko, Honey and Saphir heard her. "There will always be setbacks," Honey said.
"I have fallen many times before," Saphir added.
"Sis, you have faced Arlong for many years and won, this is nothing compared to that. We will get back up stronger and face them all," Nojiko stated.
"You sound just like mom," Nami teased.
"You do that all the time as well," Nojiko replied back smiling.
They all smiled at each other. "Why don't you sleep over here today, like we used?" Nojiko asked.
"I should get back but they would understand," Nami replied. Nojiko and Nami headed to Nami`s room. They went past Ben`s room and felt their heartbeat skip. Nami thought she was only worried for him because its her sister Captain.
The next morning, Robin woke up to find her cushion soaked with tears. She had been crying slowly through the night. Her eyes were red. It seemed like wherever she went, misery followed. The friends who had shown her kindness were now suffering and injured. Alvida and Ben were still unconscious and this was all because of her. Robin's heart ached at the thought of Ben, who had saved her and brought her happiness, now lying hurt. She had warned him, but he did not listen. He should have left her when he had the chance.
With a heavy heart, she got up, washed her face, and headed to the dining room. There, she saw Zala and Mikita drinking tea together. They both had a bandage on them but looked fine otherwise.
"Kaya sure is a good doctor," Zala said.
"Yes all our injuries are pretty much gone but she said to keep these on incase of infection," Mikita responded.
"The skin is perfect though," Zala replied. They both looked at Robin and smiled.
"Morning," Zala greeted her, offering a warm smile.
"Are you feeling better?" Mikita asked.
Robin shook her head slightly. "He didn't attack me," she replied, her voice tinged with guilt.
"We were all hurt, whether physically or mentally," Zala responded gently.
"We can see you're hurting as well," Mikita added, reaching out to Robin. "We're here for you," she said softly.
"Thank you," Robin said.
At the moment, Maya, Conis and Vivi enter the dining room. They looked like they had just showered after running a marathon.
