Chapter 135: Arc 11: Arrival! The 'D' Memoirs Island!
"Where am I?" Sasha shook her head after Kuma's paw print sent her crash-landing onto a shoreline. "This is..." she looked around, trying to get her bearings. "I know this place... this is where Selena kept the main 'D' familial bloodline scrolls. But how did Kuma know of this place..." summoning her glided scepter, she raised it above her head. "Barrier Release!" she sent out a pulse of Divine Haki, dispelling the energy shield that covered the island.
A stray flock of birds shattered into the sky as Sasha made her way into the lush forest that encompassed the island. Right in the middle of the large clearing, Selena's reincarnation was greeted by the majestic sight of a ceremonial stone alter surrounded by numerous stone archways that led deeper underground. A symphony of owl hoots greeted the water user.
"Everyone..." Sasha broke into a smile as a parliament of various colored owls flew from their perches and hovered around her. "It's been so long." she offered an arm as a perch for the head owl. "Is everyone alright?"
"Hoot!" the owl on her arm barked and pecked her ear affectionately.
"I see." Sasha smiled and released the owl. "I know it's been awhile, but I have a job for the messenger owls."
At that, the parliament of owls returned to their respective perches in the trees, leaving behind the messenger owls as they hovered above their mistress's head, the group entering a stone archway that led to what was once Selena's study room.
After drafting her various letters to the scattered Straw Hat crew members, Sasha attached each letter to a messenger owl using a harness around the owl's neck and sent the birds off to their respective destinations. Everyone, she mused. After that fight with Bartholomew Kuma and Admiral Borsalino, I'm sure all of you should've realized that with our current skill level, we won't be able to survive the New World. That's why after reading my letters, I hope all of you will agree to staying at wherever Bartholomew Kuma had sent you to for two years to hone not only your skills and also your own specialized Haki.
On Amazon Lily...
A Seram Masked owl flew into Elder Nyon's house through the window and landed on the low table in front of Luffy and stretched out its neck to reveal the parchment in the pouch of the neck harness.
Luffy removed the rolled up scroll and frowned as he recognized Sasha's penmanship. "Sasha..." he placed the rolled out paper on the table. "I haven't realized you've thought this far... you're right, little sister; that fight against the bear bastard had already made it clear that all of us are too weak right now."
On Weatheria...
"What's going on?" Haredas exclaimed hearing a crash outside his house. Stepping outside, he found the unconscious Nami who had crashed into his yard.
A while later, Nami awoke to find herself on a bed inside Haredas' house.
"Are you awake?" Haredas greeted, only to be stuck on the head by the Clima-Tact.
"What?" Nami demanded. "Who are you?"
"This is my house." Haredas replied. "Please calm down."
"This is serious!" Nami snapped.
"It's reckless to try and move around in your condition." Haredas warned, Nami tripping over her feet after she tried to get out of bed. "Besides at this moment, it's..."
"I don't care if it is reckless." Nami retorted. "I have to get going! If I'm not there, those guys won't get anywhere."
"Hey, young lady." Haredas voiced. "Where did you come from, young lady? You've been sleeping since you arrived two days ago." he informed Nami, the pair having sat down for a meal. "It seems you've gotten yourself into quite a mess. Now, have a look at this firmly tied 'knots of wind'." he produced a knotted white rope. "Untie one and it summons a gentle breeze." he unraveled a knot, causing a gust of wind to blow. "Until another and it summons a strong wind. The second knot came untied and a much stronger wind blew. "Untie a third and it summons a storm. That's just reckless, young lady." he scolded when Nami opened the door, only to be met by a powerful storm in her face.
"A terrible cyclone is coming." Nami realized.
"I told you, didn't I?" Haredas chided after Nami returned. "You're completely soaked. Feel free to use the shower."
"Old man, this isn't just rain." Nami noted. "A huge cyclone is heading this way."
"Is that so?" Haredas chuckled. "Maybe someone else is gonna come flying. Have some tea." he offered, after Nami cleaned herself up.
"Will we really be alright?" Nami wondered,
"I guess it's about time." Haredas noted. "I'm going out for a bit." he opened the door. "Young lady, please stay inside."
As Nami searched around the house, a tapping on a window alerted her and she opened the window to let the rain-soaked Flores Scops Owl in before hurriedly shutting the window. Shaking itself dry, the messenger owl hovered over the dining table and landed at the table edge, extending its neck to Nami.
Spotting the scroll inside the porch, Nami retrieved the piece of paper and unrolled it. Instantly recognizing Sasha's handwriting, the navigator read the letter.
On Karakuri Island...
A snowy owl bearing Sasha's letter to Franky was battling the snowstorm as it tried to stay on course.
SailorStar9: Any OOC-nes is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just hate plot bunnies sometimes? Reviews are much appreciated.
