Hey everyone! Sorry about the delays that you probably well know. And because of that, I bet some of you are wondering why. Okay! I was doing finals and the major one was a research paper that I really need to perfect to the best of my ability to pass the English class. Then I had a birthday, which this is a belated gift to myself, and I'm getting hooked onto Hetalia, but I still love One Piece all the same. I'm also having difficulty coming up with new ideas on what to do with the chapters of the other fics while my multitasking mind is coming up with different ideas for new fics, which is quite annoying. However I'm thankful that the dictionary is there to help to deal at least with the gift fics, I don't know if I can just grab an idea out of thin air and make a one-shot on the spot like I used to.

But that's about what's going on now, but I hope you enjoy this and anyone elses when I'm not being productive here. Without further ado, enjoy!

Perception; understanding, 2) range of vision

A young woman walked down a busy street with vendors selling local goods as she was armed with bags. She has dark red hair, fair skin, dark hazel brown eyes, and wearing glasses. It was a bright Sunday afternoon as the Sunday market opened and she looked at her list of things to get.

"Let's see…" She said as she looked down at the long list to get. "I hope I got enough…"

"Luffy! Look where-!"

She didn't get a chance to look up when she felt another body collide against hers and both fell onto the ground. "Ow…"

"Ah damn…" Said a young man next to her as she looked around for her glasses.

Her vision wasn't that bad as she found her knocked off glasses, placed them back on her head, and a hand appeared before her and she looked up to see a man with short, light green hair that was slightly combed back and only one emerald green eye open.

"You okay?" He asked as she nodded and grabbed his hand.

"Yeah, just startled me is all." She said as she looked to see the other who ran into her.

"Sorry about running into you." Said the young man with a mess of ebony hair and dark brown eyes with a cresent scar under his left eye.

"No harm done. I wasn't looking where I was going." She said as took the bags that the black haired young man picked up. "Thank you."

"Oi, do you know any good places to eat around here?" The younger of the two asked, which was earned with a whack at that back of his head. "What the hell, Zoro?"

"You don't just ask someone that after ramming into them." Said the other, Zoro.

"No, really it's okay." She said as she noticed the three katanas on his right waist. "Are those real?" She asked, pointing to the said katanas.

"Hai. Never seen them before?"

"It's just that they're rare in this town." She said as she looked at them. "You guys are from East Blue, right?"

"Yeah! How'd you know?" Said the younger.

"Luffy…" Zoro warned.

"Well… Your dialect sounded very Eastern, so I was wondering if you guys came all this way from there."

"Yeah! We're pi-" Luffy started to say when the other knocked him upside the head again.

"Travelers." Zoro said dully as if he didn't do anything.

She blinked before tilting her head. "Have I seen you guys somewhere before?"

"Nope, this is the first time we came here." Zoro said as he held up a list. "We're here to get some things and be on our way."

"Well you came at the right place. The local market on Sundays are the best one in town."

"Good to know."

"Zoro I'm hungry." Luffy whined as he tugged on the other's sleeve like a child.

"We just had lunch! I swear your stomach is bottomless sometimes."

"You're just a lightweight eater!"

She couldn't help but giggle at the display. "Forgive me, but you two remind me of a couple I know." She said as she calmed down. "Well, since I know both your names, I'll introduce myself. I'm Shoai, and since we're shopping, I know a lot of great stalls that hand out free samples. That can help you with your fix, Luffy."

"Sounds great!" Luffy said excitedly while Zoro sighed as all three continued their day shopping for what they were set out to get before the time came that the market closes and they got everything that they needed on their list.

"That was a lot of fun, thank you." She said.

Luffy laughed as he held onto some bags. "Yeah! We should do this again someday when we swing by here again."

"Please do." She said as she balanced the bags on her shoulders before they parted ways. "I hope your journey as pirates doesn't get you into too much trouble!"

"But that's where all the fun is!" Luffy said as Zoro looked surprised.

"Luffy… we didn't tell her that we are pirates…"

"Na? Then how did she know?"

She giggled as she passed by a couple wanted posters, took the two down and continued on her way. "They're not so bad."


Something short and simple for me to work with. You can tell just where my creativity is going... It's lacking big time...
