Everyday Life with the Straw Hats

Mariejois Arc: part 1: Docking at the Noble City

The straw hats were almost to the Red Line, a massive continent the raps around the equator of the world. On this continent, is Mariejois; and the new home where the straw hats will be living for the near future.

"The Red Line is straight ahead Captain!" Nami shouted to Luffy as she could see a huge landmass through the early morning fog. "Franky, you ready to put those 10 liters of cola to good use?" she continued as she looked over to the man steering the ship.

"Woooow! You better believe I'm ready to put this cola to SUPER use!" Franky said as he leaned toward one side, with one leg bent and holding up his arms above his head like some action star. "This is going to be one SUPER flight!"

Franky grabbed a big metal lever next to the steering wheel and started the countdown. "You guys ready to blast off?" Franky shouted as he put his cool-guy sunglasses over his eyes.

Luffy responded with a big optimistic "Yeah! Let's go!" and that was all Franky needed to hear.

Franky took a deep breath, as if he had some internal drum-roll music playing in his head. "COUP…..DE…BURST!" shouted Franky as he violently pulled the metal lever and in seconds they blasted off into the sky like a rocket ship. The blast-off had Usopp and Chopper hanging on for dear life on the side of the ship. While Sanji was in the kitchen and shrugged to himself "I guess we already took off. Ah well, breakfast will be ready soon."

Zoro was in the lookout tower drinking sake in his sleep somehow and mumbled to himself in a groggy voice "Can't they ever shut up? I'm try to sleep here." Robin was to busy reading her book to notice the fact that they were flying through the sky.

Brook was laughing in joy as he always loved when they flew through the sky. "I love the wind against my face, it makes me feel so alive. Oh wait, I don't have A face, and I'm not alive…Yohohohoho!"

Luffy could see that they were already so close the Mariejois that he could see the docking zone where they usually hoist the ships up out of the water. Which makes since considering the red line is like a hundred meters high. "I see where we need to land" Luffy shouted as he tried to wave at Franky to get his attention. "Down there, right where all those other ships are." Franky gave Luffy a thumbs up and made the proper adjustments to his steering.

They were approaching the docking station pretty fast, probably a bit too fast. Franky pulled back on the lever to lower the thruster on the ship and to slow them down. After a few minutes of careful steering, and Usopp silently praying that they don't die on impact. They safely landed on the docking ground.

"We finally made it" Luffy shouted. "We made it to Mariejois! And soon we'll meet our new monster friends who will be staying with us!"

Everyone else just smiled, when Luffy was happy, he always had a way of making everyone else happy.
