She Becomes Determined
Silver napped on Bepo's table as the navigator drew on some paper. It was always quiet down here in Bepo's navigation room. She found it was the best place, other than Law's room, to get a decent nap. And since the captain was working out she came in here. The bear was humming to himself before he started speaking. He said, "Let's see. We'll arrive at Sabaody soon, Silver."
Silver flicked her ear. She yawned then laid back down. His topic didn't interest her. They constantly ran into different islands. This one wouldn't be any different.
"It's kind of scary. I've heard a lot about that place," Bepo said. "A lot of rough pirates will be there. Did you know it's basically the gate to the New World?"
Silver jerked up. New World?! What do you mean New World?!
"There are multiple ways to get there but our path is already decided," Bepo said.
I don't care! Just tell me about the New World! Silver jumped to her paws.
"We'll be going the underwater route," Bepo said. "We're using a submarine after all. Fishman Island is also on that route. I wonder if we'll stop there. The captain hasn't mentioned it."
What about the New World?! Silver jumped in front of him, smearing the work he had done.
"Hey," Bepo said. "What is it? Are you worried about the New World?"
No! Just tell me about it already!
"Well, you don't have to worry." Bepo patted her head. "The New World is the second half of the Grand line. It some very tough waters. That's where the emperors of the sea live."
I see. That's where the fox told me to go. He and his kind must be there. They have to live there. Maybe that's why I can't talk to him. Maybe he is using magic and that magic is too far away. I have to get there. I have to find answers to why I'm here and a fox. Silver paced around on Bepo's desk as she thought things out. And he said follow the moon. Magic has to be involved. It has to be.
"You seem agitated for some reason," Bepo said. "Are you okay, Silver?"
I am. Silver nodded. A lot better than I have been in months. I finally have a direction to go. She looked up at Bepo. We have to get there. When will we get there?
Bepo just stared at her, unaware of her questions and desperation.
Silver sighed. Right. I forgot you all can't hear me. Such a pain in the tail. I wonder if anyone back home has missed me yet.
"What's going on?" Law walked into the room.
"I'm not sure but I think Silver wants to go to the New World." Bepo turned to the captain.
"Is that so?" Law looked at Silver.
Yes! Silver nodded. Her eyes began hard with determination. She was going to go to the New World. And she was going to find her answers.
