Prologue

Nami awoke from the sun rays passing through the window, and onto her eyes.

Blinking the sleep away, her eyes adjusted to the unfamiliar surrounding.

'What is this place?'

A wave of uneasiness washed through her, until memories of the past five days flooded back to her mind. The young woman's rigid body relaxed when she recalled that she was currently at a sky Island called Weatheria. It had almost been more than half a week since she had landed here.

The shock due to the events in Saboady Archipelago had left Nami, depressed, angry and uncaring when she had first arrived on the island.

====Flashback====

"KYAAAA!!!" Nami shouted as she landed on stone brick flooring.

"What? What just happened? Where am I!?" She didn't know and was confused, angry and scared.

She was wildly gazing around her when an old man popped out to her view.

"Hey, Hey, Hey, little lady, are you alright?" the old man asked, a look of puzzlement visible on his wrinkled face. He spoke to her with a worried frown and in a gentle voice.

"Where did you come from? How did you get here? What kind of vehicle did you used to arrive here?"

The elderly guy bombarded Nami with questions; ; though unfortunately the girl was in no mood to answer or act friendly towards him after the horror she had seen and gone through just a few minutes ago, 'or was it an hour, or even a day ago? I've been flying for some time.'

She furrowed her eyebrows on the matter, 'Wait! Why am I even alive-'.

"Hey, Hey, Hey, girl, you still there?" the concerned voice from the aged man interrupted her thoughts.

She gazed at the old man with an expression of annoyance before whipping out her Perfect-Clima-Tact, and promptly started to hit him over the head with it furiously for having such a nosy and carefree attitude. She couldn't help it, at the moment she was feeling overwhelmed with the amount and mixture of emotions she had residing within her. She was feeling extremely mad and irritated, yet sad and lonely at the same time.

"Stop! Stop! Stop! It hurts!" yelped the old man as Nami continued her assault on the guy's head .

He noticed that the hits became weaker and weaker until finally they stop altogether. Sadness replaced the rage she had only a few seconds ago, now her face was scrunched up with the effort of trying to hold back her tears.

'Where am I? What just happened? Why am I here? Where are they… I... need to go back...' those were her last thoughts as she finally succumbed to her fatigue, her vision blurred as she was enveloped in the comforting darkness.

===Flashback END===

She remembered waking up days later still feeling depressed. Although, the emotional turmoil she felt when she landed was now gone. The old man she met on her arrival hung around her most of the time attempting to cheer her up. During her fourth day, the constant nagging and fancy tricks of the old man, which happens to be the owner of the house she is currently staying at, finally snapped Nami out her dark state. It was from him that she learned that she was on the sky island of Weatheria, which dealt with the study of weather, and that through a mere un-knotting of a rope, different degrees of wind could be produced.

The elderly man could also change the climate according to his whims just like Nami.

The more she learned of the island, the more her fascination with it grew.

During the afternoon of that day, a cyclone almost hits the island, but Nami was able to stop it using her Perfect Clima-Tact in conjunction with the rope the old guy was using to perform a technique which dispels the cyclone. Now, on her fifth day, she had finished tiding herself up and went out of the house.

Upon stepping outside, she found Haredas, the old guy who has been Nami's company these past several days, tying knots on a rope once again.

Haredas had told her that he's still in the process of discovering how to manipulate, create or changed weather to form a snow day. The last time he tried, rather than small, round, soft and white things falling from the sky; it was the large, hard and cold hail that came hitting the island. The old man seemed nervous and embarrassed, a sweatdrop present on his head, as he glanced the other way while describing the last part of the story.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! You're up! Want me to show you a new trick?" Haredas happily stared at her, just like a magician ready to amazed his audience with his magic.

She was about to reply when she noticed a newspaper tucked in the mail box.

"It will be interesting to see that trick of yours," Nami smirked.

" But can it wait 'till later? I would like to read the papers first" the young woman pointed to the peach colored mail box.

'Maybe I can gather some information on what happened in Saboady Archipelago, if the World Government hasn't tried to hide it'.

Haredas spirit dampens, but at the mention of papers, realization came to him.

"Ah! We~~ll… you're free to read it, but it's more than two months old, and the only news you'll be reading there is the event's taking place below." The aged meteorologist explained.

"Eh?" Nami was in the act of unfolding the newspaper. Pausing, she turned to the old man and cocked her head to the side showing her confusion.

Haredas took the hint, and explained further,

"Blue Sea Dwellers came here two months ago, and left that newspaper behind. The only articles written there are about events that happened in The Blue Sea, so I don't know if it will be of much use to you."

'Oh that's right, this is sky Island, and I don't think the News Ku would deliver newspapers from The Blue Sea way up here' Nami sighed in disappointment, it had also just dawned to her that she hadn't told the meteorologist much about herself, and about the fact that she actually is a Blue Sea Dweller herself.

She noticed Haredas had started speaking again.

"-a lot of cruel things are happening in Blue Sea at the moment, one article stated that this person named Blood Devil along with other pirates attacked and destroyed a Marine Fortress."

This piece of information caught Nami's attention, curiosity glimmered in her eyes as she stared at him.

"I read somewhere, due to these pirates assault, many innocent marines and people were severely injured. Even the island the fortress was located was destroyed."

Nami narrowed her eyes at the news, as her mind battled whether to believe or doubt the story.

She knew more than anyone else that few published news articles only tell half way of what actually took placed. The times their assault in Enies Lobby and Alabastia were published was a proof of that.

Nami continued browsing through the papers,

'Hm? I've never read or heard any of these articles published in this paper, that's odd, I frequently try to update myself on news around the world'.

She eventually found the article, which was the object of their discussion, and proceeded to read it for future reference.

The R9 stronghold is a marine base that has stood for years. It gives aid and help to the islands surrounding it. The officers and marines assigned to R9 have captured and imprisoned wanted criminals who posed threat to the peace in the continent. Now this once glorious fortress symbolizing justice has been left tattered, after the brutal assault of the notorious group of pirates, which was once again, lead by the Blood Devil.

Below is a picture of one of BD's underlings, laughing maniacally, with his nose glowing in the color of blood.

There were several pictures showing the wreckage to the island, but one particular image caught her attention.

Nami's jaws dropped to the ground as she gawked at the picture in the article. Printed in the parchment was a portrait of Buggy, laughing like an insane moron with his twirling tongue coming out of his widely opened mouth, his pupil dilated.

'Wha-what the? Buggy!? He's in Grand Line!?' Nami marveled at the news.

'I know he can be full of himself, but what is he doing assaulting a marine fortress? Did one of his bombs finally blow up his head to make him insane?' Nami's looked at the article incredulously.

'Perhaps I was wrong?... Maybe this published article is all true! Maybe this group of pirates really did hurt innocent marines, and who is this Blood Devil? Knowing Buggy, I doubt he's one to let another person in the spotlight.' Nami's frown deepened as more sweat drops appeared on her head, while she brooded over the matter.

She was scanning the article one more time when the date at the top portion of the news paper grabbed hold of her attention.

'Huh? Is this a misprint?' She became fixated on the year written on the papers.

'Like Herades had said, the paper is more than two months old, but why is the year printed two years in advance-' Her thoughts was interrupted by the aged man's ominous speech.

"Hatred and vengeance is terrible thing..."

The elderly man began his dialogue,

"I heard from some of the Blue Sea Dwellers that came here, after the war that happened in The Grand Line, between the pirates and marines two years ago, most of the pirates nowadays tend to purposely attack marine fortresses or villages, rather than stay indifferent like before..."

"Oh my, oh my, oh my, the world below had become a placed of violence…"

The young navigator gaped at Haredas, as she reflected on his speech, the misprinted date completely wipe off her mind.

'War?! World Government was involved in a war? Here? In The Grand Line? Two years ago?... Why haven't I heard of this?'

Nami was having trouble believing the facts she just heard, her hands were trembling as she unconsciously tightened her grip on the papers she was holding.

'Even if the placed was The Grand Line, the news would have spread throughout the world, if such an immense war happened...'

Managing to snap out of her shocked state after a few minutes, the young woman faced the old man.

"Erm… Haredas, do you happen to know the reason the World Government and the pirates fought and ended up having a war?"

"Hmmm" The old man furrowed his eyebrows in thought, stroking his beard.

"Hmmm..." He closed his eyes, as he brood deeper.

"... ..." Nami stared at him blankly.

"Hmmm... ..." The only sound, which, the old man had managed to make in the past minutes... Nami was starting to get irritated.

"Well?" The young lady questioned impatiently, narrowing her eyes

"... ..."

'Did he fall asleep?'

*Bonk!*

Losing her temper, the girl hits the poor old man in the head once again.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Little lady what was that for?" Haredas asked, with a little tear in the corner of his eyes, while holding the big lump that had grown on his head.

"Shut up! Don't just suddenly fall sleep! I need you to answer my question!" Nami shouted, her eyes turning white, and her mouth baring sharp white teeth from anger.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! You're wrong young lady, I didn't fell asleep! I was just thinking, but now that I have thought about it…" The old man returned her gazed.

"Why would I know of such thing when I don't even live in The Blue Sea??" Haredas challenge, also baring his sharp teeth at Nami.

"Well you could have said so sooner!" Nami said, matching the old man's angered looked, only fiercer.

"I was going to, but the way I processed things these past few days seems to have slowed down, from all the bumps I keep getting, due to someone regularly hitting me" His eyes slanted as he looked the other way.

'Ugh!' Nami was at loss for words on that one.

The navigator sighed "Forget it!"

"Can you just then tell me how to get off this island, and get back to The Blue Sea?" She asked, remembering that she needed to get back to her crew immediately.

"The Blue Sea? Why would you go there? Didn't I just say how scary that place is at the moment? Did you not heard what I said?" Haredas questioned, but then he paused,

"… …perhaps you're a dweller from the Blue Sea, young lady?" His faced taking on a serious looked for the first time, since they met.

Name suddenly felt nervous, remembering the incident the last time she entered sky island without an entranced fee.

"Aha..ha..ha.." Beads of sweats appeared on her forehead.

Still sweating a little, she loomed over the old man, and raised her voiced.

"Stop being nosy, and just tell me!" Faking anger in hopes to scare the old man, to refrain him from asking questions.

Confused by her outburst, he relented and answered.

"Calm down, you can go to the dock, and ride a ship there that sails from White Sea to Blue Sea." He explained pointing in direction of the port.

"I see" She gazed at the area the old man was pointing.

'So there really is an easy way to get in and out of a Sky Island, besides the Knock-Up Stream.' She thought, a forlorn expression on her face.

"I remember that the fee is around... 15,000,000 Extols" He continued, looking back at Nami.

'Ugh! 15 Million!?' She sucked in her breath at the huge amount. 'Ah! Wait, if 10,000 Extols equals 1 Beli then I only need 1,500 Beli.' She sighed in relief, as she computed the smaller amount.

"The next sail to Blue Sea will be in two weeks, if you're in a hurry, then you should book a ride on that one."

"Tw-two weeks!?" She gasped, "But I need to get back there now." She added, a tinged of desperation in her voice.

The aged man stared at her, while stroking his beard.

"Ah! Well you'll have to wait then, since that's the only exit from way up here, to down there" pointing his index finger in an upward motion, then to a downward motion.

Nami sighed in defeat, once again feeling depressed.

"Now are you ready to see my latest rope knot trick?" Haredas asked, smiling kindly, while holding a knotted roped in his right hand.

She let a small smile graced her lips at the carefree, yet comforting attitude of the old man.

'If I'm going to be stuck here for 2 weeks, I might as well learn a few tricks this island has to offer about climate and weather.'

====2 weeks later====

Nami leaned on the wooden railing of the ship that will sail to The Blue Sea.

'I can finally go back.'

She gazed at the island of Weatheria that had become her home for the past two weeks. She felt sadness settle in her chest at the knowledge that she'll be leaving her mentor and this place behind.

She knows for a fact that if she ever managed to return here, it won't be for quite some time.

Haredas had become her mentor over these past few weeks, teaching her various techniques about the weather that can only be learned on this particular sky island. The people that inhabited the placed were all friendly, and willing to share their own piece of wisdom about the climate.

Bidding her farewell to the old man was a tear jerker; she didn't know that she would grow this attached to the elderly man during their time together, this past half a month.

She sniffed and felt tears forming in the corner of her eyes.

"Aaahhh!" She let out a cry of frustration, starling the other passengers of the ship.

Scrubbing her eyes with the palm of her hand, drying off the water on her wet eyelashes.

"I'll definitely go back here someday," She declared in determination.

"But for now, there's some placed that I'm needed." The responsibility of being the Mugiwara Pirates' navigator settling upon her shoulders.
