Half a Moon: 14 Days of Celebrating Women

"Nami’s life has never been calm. Since Arlong she hasn’t had the luxury of allowing herself to feel calm.

Sharing her boat with the later-named Straw Hat crew – which she’s not a part of – makes her want to reevaluate the entire concept of calm though, because this is a new level of intense."

Someone had taken a bite out of their body, and the second that Lottie noticed, she was hit with a wave of nausea. She could taste the meat, smell the burning flesh.

And then, her door opened. She whipped her head around, her face wet with tears. Her eyes widened when she saw Nat standing in the open doorway. Still crying, she took her thumb out of her mouth, reaching for Nat with grabby hands. Behind Nat, she could see shadows of monsters that were there for her.
