It's not much, I know! But I wanted to update -something- at least, just to let you guys know that I'm not dead (yet) and still working on this story. I've actually written ahead (the part where this story is heading), I just need to 'connect' it with this first section. So next time I update, it will be a much longer chapter than I've done so far. Cheers!

"Yup! And that's why I broke into the bewitchalligator, to chill!"
"Bewitched… what?"
"He means refrigerator."
"Nincompoop."
"That's Captain Nincompoop for you!"
"Luffy, you do realize that wasn't a compliment, right?"
"Do alligators poop?"
"COULD ALL OF YOU JUST SHUT UP FOR ONE MINUTE!?"
"…."
"…."
"…."
"…."
"…."
"…. Usopp, how long does a minute take?"
*WHACK!*
ONE MINUTE LATER…
After some frustrated pacing, Nami came to a halt and faced her recently injured nakama. "Now that I've gotten a moment to think, IN SILENCE, here's what we're going to do: there should be a town on the other side of the island.
