I had a Zoro moment on the day I'm writing some of this. I just started school on the seventh, and it's the eighth today. So I was coming back from lunch and there's supposed to be stairs like *right there*, next to the main office. Somehow I completely missed the stairs and just kept walking and walking until I was pretty much the only one in the hallway. I *finally* found the stairs and climbed all the way up there to find that somehow while I was on the bottom floor, I had walked all the way to the other end of the school… -_-. I'm going to start following someone who knows where they're going.
Tashigi was dreaming soundly. There were calm blue waters lifting a beautiful ship on its waves… and then the ship's flag was black and was imprinted with a white skull with smoke billowing from its partially opened mouth. She was strolling along the deck in white shirt and black pants with a bandana tied across her forehead. She leaned back against the railing and looked behind her just as another ship appeared out of nowhere. This time it was a large, cannon-loaded ship with big white sails marked "LUFFY MARINE". At the helm of this ship stood Luffy with his hair slicked back, wearing a marine captain's coat and something resembling Sengoku's hat on his head, figured to be a monkey rather than a bird. Smoker came onto the deck of her ship in a small-looking red vest and a pair of denim shorts.
"Ready to go get those losers, Tashigi!" he laughed. "Come on, let's go!" He suddenly threw both arms forward and they stretched to grab onto the other ship's mast and he flung himself over along with Tashigi…
"Hey, wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" Luffy's voice came through the door to the womens' quarters as he pounded on the wood, rousing Tashigi and the other two girls. Without a second thought he threw the door open and barged right on in. "Nami, get up!" he said, taking a fallen pillow from the ground and poking her with it. "I see an island!" he was hopping on the balls of his feet excitedly. Tashigi wondered if he always greeted a new island like this.
"Luffy, get out of here!" Nami said, throwing her own pillow at his head. "We won't land for another hour or two, okay! Sheesh!" Luffy looked around and spotted Tashigi looking at him. Through her blurred vision, he looked like he was tilting his head to one side. "You look reeeeally different without your glasses," he observed. He picked her glasses up and put them on, then blinked. "Woah!" he said. "This is so weird! Everything's all blurry!"
"Luffy!" Nami said. "Out! Now!" She pointed to the door. Luffy giggled and put Tashigi's glasses back in place. "Okay," he said. "Goodniiiight!" The captain walked out and slammed the door loudly behind him. Nami found another pillow and covered her head with it, groaning, "It's way too early to be waking up."
"We might as well make the most of it, Nami," Robin said, getting out of bed and stretching. "How about you, Tashigi-san? Are you getting up yet?"
"I guess," Tashigi said, not sure she was ready to return to Monkey D. Smoker in her dream land.
"You two can go ahead, then," Nami muttered. "I'm going to try to sleep while I can."
It turned out that many others had chosen to follow Nami's example. Because Luffy was up, Sanji was forced to be in the kitchen or face the captain's wrath. Usopp, Franky, and Brook were nowhere to be seen, however. Zoro wasn't exactly "up", for somehow he had come to fall asleep against the railing outside. The weather was very crisp and cool, and a light mist hung in the air. At this time of day on a Marine ship, Tashigi would probably be heading to train…
"It will be warmer later on," Robin chuckled, opening a book and settling down into a chair on the deck. Tashigi lifted an eyebrow. "How do you suppose?" she asked.
"Because Nami-san is grouchy this morning," Robin answered. "Not that she isn't always… she's not a morning person… but she's especially grouchy. On a normal day, Nami would have gotten up early and not bothered trying to sleep some more. For some reason when Nami is extra grouchy it means it will be hot outside. Chopper-kun and I have scientifically proven it," she chuckled. Tashigi decided to nod and not ask about it.
"So," Robin said casually, glancing at the marine slyly, "What did you and the swordsman speak about the night before last? I noticed you heading out so naturally I decided to make sure you weren't being mischievous." Tashigi blushed lightly, her embarrassment twisting in with anger towards Robin for making Zoro kiss her. "Nothing much," she said tightly.
"It seems that you two are on okay terms," Robin said.
"We are. It helps that we're both swordsmen."
"It looks like you're finally getting comfortable here. You might be with us for awhile yet." Zoro somehow heard this last part and groaned playfully, smirking.
"Oh, shut up," Tashigi said, smiling in spite of herself. Something inside of her said that she wouldn't mind staying with the Mugiwaras for a while more.
"Alright, idiots, breakfast," Sanji called down the hallway to the mens' quarters. He ducked out the other way to call down the women's hallway, "Nami-swan, breakfast!" It didn't take long for everyone to file in, headed by Luffy who attempted to devour everything on the table before anyone could sit down. Sanji set down three pre-prepared plates for the girls routinely. After some consideration, Zoro seated himself beside Tashigi. This seemed to make everyone but Luffy stop and stare; the captain was too busy stuffing his face. One look from Zoro got everyone back into their own conversations and the noisiness started up again.
"You know where we're going, right?" Zoro asked her. "Orange Ring Isle. I thought I'd warn you before we got there to watch your footing." Tashigi thought back to when she had first heard the name of that island and her eyes widened when she remembered that Smoker had specifically warned her never to go there.
"Um, I don't remember that much about it," she said. "Remind me?"
"Orange Ring Isle is small," Robin said from her left, "but very, very dangerous. Pirates head into the deepest part of its jungle to try and find the legendary treasure hidden there and all of them are never seen again." She looked Tashigi over and added, "You might want to stay with the swordsman when we split up. You have a decent directional sense and he can keep you from hurting yourself."
"Why do I always have to be in charge of her?" Zoro growled.
"Because you're the one who brought her on board, swordsman-san," Robin answered, taking a sip of her drink. Tashigi rested her chin in her hand and thought. Orange Ring Isle. There was something dangerous about it, yes, but what was it?
Luffy's hand creeping up to her plate distracted her. She took the slice of ham he was reaching for and threw it to him as a seal trainer might do with a fish.
"Thank you!" Luffy said with his mouth unrealistically full.
"Well," Zoro said, leaning back. "I'm ready for this place. Sounds dangerous. Maybe we'll find some of those creepy newfound life forms there."
"Maybe," Robin said.
Tashigi remembered. She remembered well. Orange Ring Isle drew steadily closer, looking like a huge stretch of gray rock and then a tall green jungle threatening its visitors. As they got very close, it was easy to see thin lines of orange snaking between the rock- the orange rings, or, namely, big, deep trenches filled with orange and red white-hot lava.
"Sweet!" Luffy laughed, the first off the ship as usual. This time Nami grabbed him by the back of his vest before he could run off.
"Okay," she called. "Who's on Luffy duty today?" Usopp sighed.
"That'd be me," he said, raising a hand half-heartedly. He came to take hold of Luffy from Nami as Nami explained how the island worked.
"Okay," she said. "The log pose has to set, so we have to be out of here in exactly twelve hours. It's eleven AM now. Our mission on this island is to make me rich and come out as the only pirates to have ever lived to tell the tale of Orange Ring Isle. Now, you have to be careful, because watch this." The navigator picked up a stray pebble from the ground and tossed it over to what looked like a pothole in the ground. An orange geyser shot up into the sky, complete with steam.
"That will definitely hurt if you touch it," Nami told Luffy pointedly. "Tashigi, you'd better hope you left your clumsiness on the ship today. Anyway, we're going to split up into five groups of two. Usopp and Luffy are group number one. Brook and Chopper, group number two. Tashigi and Zoro, you're group number three, here's a compass for Zoro in case you get lost- and group number four is Sanji and Franky, and then me and Robin. Everyone got that? Don't you dare lose each other. And Zoro," she said, sticking a finger in his face. "We're docked on the west side of the island. And you had better know where the sun sets by now, right?" Zoro rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "Don't treat me like I'm stupid, Nami," he growled. When Nami turned around, however, he looked behind him to the sun and to the compass Tashigi was holding.
"Hey," he said suddenly. "We're not docked in the west. The compass is pointing northeast." He showed the compass to Nami, who sighed. "Zoro, the red part of the compass always points North," she said. "What you just said doesn't even make any sense."
"Sure it does," Zoro protested as the crew split up. Tashigi started to laugh. "Hey, shut up, blueberry head! Look, it makes sense! We're standing like this, and that's the 'W', which is for west, right? And North's right there, so why's it pointing northeast if it's supposed to always be pointing north?" Tashigi just continued laughing and tugged on Zoro's arm. "Let's go," she said. "Let me hold the compass," she added, taking it.
The first lava-filled trench they came to was wide and deep. Zoro grunted. "I wish I would have gotten paired up with Luffy," he muttered. "So this is about what, seven feet across? Wait, am I the only one paired up with someone who has no way of getting across this gap?" Tashigi thought. "Um, yes," she concluded, nodding. "We'll figure something out, though. Let's see… I wonder how hot the lava is…" Zoro stared. "Are you stupid?" he said. "It's bubbling. That means it'll probably scald your skin off if you even think about touching it." Tashigi glared at him. "Actually," she said, gesturing around them, "I was thinking that we're surrounded by rocks. If we can find some that are really flat and light, we could throw one onto one of those potholes…"
"And get ourselves blasted into the air?" Zoro said. "We could die!"
"Do you have a better idea?" Tashigi shot back. Zoro dug his hands into his pockets and thought."Hey!" he said suddenly.
"What?" Tashigi asked, turning around. Zoro held up a small silver object. "I found the handcuff key."(A/N: from chapter five.)
"Idiot," Tashigi muttered. Suddenly, a hand sprouted from the ground and tugged on Tashigi's ankle, then pointed ahead. Robin was standing several hundred feet away. "Grab on," she called, and another hand sprouted from the first, and so on until there was a whole arch of them over the gap. Tashigi hesitated.
"Will she drop me?" she said to Zoro in an undertone. "Maybe we should go at the same time…"
"She might drop me," was Zoro's answer, and they stood and stared.
"Come on," Robin called. "You'll be fine." Tashigi unsurely grabbed onto the first hand above her height. It was a strange feeling to grab all these different hands one after another, but she managed to pull herself across the gap, followed by Zoro. They hurried to meet up with Robin and Nami.
"Everyone else is much further ahead," Robin mused. "My method is very slow. I believe Luffy and Usopp got there in one fling. Chopper, of course, only had seven minutes to get over there, so of course he and Brook got there fairly quickly."
"It's hot out here," Nami complained as Robin began an arch over the next lava trench.
"If we hurry, we can make it into the shade," Robin said as Nami pulled herself across the trench. "Swordsman-san, you're next." Zoro heaved himself over the lava pit and then Robin followed suit, leaving Tashigi to be the last one over. Robin exchanged a wink with Nami and one of the hands clearly snapped its fingers up and dropped Tashigi. The marine screeched at the lava beneath her for help, grabbing in the air senselessly as the air around her heated up quickly. She suddenly felt a hand on hers. She gripped onto it and it pulled her up, then into someone's chest.
"That wasn't funny, Robin! I saw you do that!" Zoro said, letting Tashigi out of his grasp. "You two are sick!"
"I have no clue what you're talking about, swordsman-san," Robin said. "My most heartfelt apologies, Tashigi-san. You must have slipped."
Seven orange rings later, Robin was the last to touch the land before the jungle that rose up before them. "Shall we go our separate ways, then?" Robin said, waving. "We'll go this way. You guys just try not to get lost, okay?" Just like that, they were gone. Zoro scratched his head and looked up at the trees looming over them. "Hm," he said. "I wonder what's in there. Let's go find out." The first mate led the way into the jungle.
The first opening they came to was snaked with heavy vines and had mud-holes sinking into the ground everywhere. Tashigi kept one hand on Shigure for comfort, occasionally checking the compass.
"So," Zoro said, swatting away some mosquitoes with the back of his hand. "What's your story? I told you mine." Tashigi looked up at his back and shrugged, though he couldn't see her. "I don't really have a story," she answered. "No valiant causes or efforts… no childhood promises… I heard some old marines sharing stories when I was young of the cruel things pirates such as Gol D. Roger had done and how they were brought to justice and figured that it sounded good to me." Zoro turned to raise an eyebrow at her and shrugged. "If that's how you feel, it's valiant enough," he said. "Me, I never would have dreamed of being a pirate. Luffy hoaxed me into it with my swords as captives." Tashigi smiled slightly. "Your adventures are so much more exciting," she admitted. "As opposed to Smoker-san and I capturing small-name pirates, constantly pursuing you Mugiwaras. Now you're all right here, and…" she trailed off and then asked, "Roronoa-san, may I ask you something?" Zoro shrugged one shoulder. "You're going to anyway," he pointed out. Tashigi rubbed her arm restlessly. "Well, I've had this feeling that-" A high pitched, salivated screech cut through her words, stopping her. The beating of wings came from all around and a shadow steadily fell across them. Zoro and Tashigi looked up to see a huge bird hovering above them, beating its wings to keep itself in the air. Its feathers were silver and glistened in the sunlight and its head was pink and a combination with the likeliness of a vulture and a lizard at once. Its feet were webbed and waved strangely in the air as it floated over them.
"Sweet," Zoro grinned, drawing his swords and placing Wadou in his mouth. "Ready to bring in some dinner back there, marine?" Tashigi narrowed her eyes and drew Shigure, taking stance. As it turned out, the bird charged first, snapping out at them in an attempt to swallow them up. Zoro dove under its long head and headed for its feet, which had landed on the ground. With ease he leaped onto the top of one webbed foot and then onto the creature's back. Tashigi charged forward as the bird pecked down at her again and rounded around in and out of its legs, causing it to turn around in order to keep track of her.
"Oi, quit playing around!" Zoro called unsteadily. "You know how hard it is to balance on this thing?" The bird squawked brilliantly and nailed a peck right at Tashigi, who blocked the beak with Shigure and ran to the bird's other webbed foot. She concentrated and forced the tip of her katana into the foot and the bird yelled loudly, flapping its wings, unsettling Zoro's balance. Zoro tumbled down one of the huge silver wings and grabbed on to its end, leaving a gap between him and the ground of about twenty feet. "Tashigi, stop it!" he growled. "This stupid bird's feathers are slippery!"
"That's not my fault!" Tashigi said, pulling Shigure from the bird's foot. It thrashed its powerful wings and suddenly lifted off from the ground even higher, beginning to fly away. With a yell and a crash, Zoro fell from the bird's wing and landed on the ground, clutching two long silver feathers in his hands. Tashigi ran over to him. "Zoro are you okay- ooh, they're so pretty up close!" Tashigi grabbed one of the feathers from him and held it close to her face to observe it better. It was actually a silvery-white that when you turned it in the light, a spectrum of colors washed across it. Zoro sat up and grunted, rubbing his head. He looked to the other feather in his hand. "Yeah, thanks for caring," he said. "Where do you suppose that bird went?" Tashigi shrugged. 'Maybe its nest is towards the center of the jungle," she said, tucking the feather in her pocket. Zoro pocketed his too and they kept on going.
"Why'd you keep yours?" Tashigi asked, furrowing her brow. Zoro shrugged. "Maybe I can sell it to Nami," he said. "She likes shiny stuff, and some feathers are valuable… or something…" he said, scratching his head. They continued walking around mudholes, Zoro at the front slicing down vines.
"So," he said. "You were saying something before." Tashigi looked down at the ground again and sniffed. "Well," she said, adjusting her brown leather gloves, "I was just thinking that… well… have you ever been somewhere and… it's not where you belong, but somehow it just… feels right?"
"Hmm," Zoro said. "No, not really… oh, wait," he stopped for a moment, scratching his chin. "Well, I guess once, a long time ago… back when I was a bounty hunter with Johnny and Yosaku, we went after this guy and took him to the marines… you know how it works. Anyway, Yosaku got seriously sick, so we were stuck there on the island for a long time. Well, Johnny rushes off to the hospital with him when he starts acting really strange, leaving me some note after I got out of the shower to come up to the hospital to meet them… and…" Zoro scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "Well… I got lost. Seriously lost. While I was lost I floated around for awhile and the place reminded me of my hometown so much. I even got sidetracked watching the kids at the dojo. By the time Yosaku was better, I didn't want to leave. It took a rumor that Mihawk was spotted near the Calm Belt somewhere to get me off that island. Now that I think about it, it wasn't that great…" Tashigi nodded understandably.
"Zoro, I have a feeling. I… feel that way about being onboard your ship. I want to stay," she admitted, blushing as Zoro turned to stare at her. "It's… a weird feeling, but… I like it better with your crew than aboard Smoker-kun's ship. I mean, Luffy is clearly a strong-willed captain and he has picked remarkable crew members, although I question Nami and Robin's positions sometimes." She touched a hand on his shoulder shyly. "I mean, justice is always changing. Mine just changed, and a lot more than you'll ever know." Zoro raised his eyebrows and the two stood in an awkward silence for a few passing moments.
"Eh, you're not exactly a 'hostage' either," Zoro said. "We had a ship meeting the other day when you were the last to get up. Luffy likes you. When Luffy likes someone, he sticks with them."
"Are you saying that he'd let me stay?" Tashigi asked, fiddling around with her fingers nervously. "I mean, at the same time it's not what I think I want…" Zoro crossed his arms and exhaled. "I don't know," he said. "Luffy's also insistent that Smoker wants you back as his nakama." Tashigi looked down at the ground.
"Smoker-kun's wants aren't mine, though," she said quietly. "Then again, not even I am sure of what I want." Zoro leaned forward suddenly, making Tashigi uncomfortable.
"What are you staring at?" she asked.
"You've got a," Zoro tried to explain; he pried something tiny off of the arm of her glasses and held it up to try and look at it. "It's a little red bug… or something…" The first mate held it up closely to his eyes. "It- almost looks like a snail. Like a transponder snail, but… way, way tinier… and red…"
"Hm," Tashigi said. "Maybe… it got on me somehow when we were walking in here?" Zoro shook his head.
"Even you would have noticed something crawling on you, right? And it's… so still." The swordsman dropped it into Tashigi's palm. "Maybe someone on board will know what it is?" she suggested.
"Maybe," Zoro muttered, looking suspicious.
"WOOOHOO!" Luffy laughed, swinging on the vines very monkey-like above Usopp's head as the marksman attempted to read a map Nami had supplied for them.
"Robin has books about everything," Usopp muttered, turning the map over several times in his hands. "Everything. She has a book on pretty much anything you can think of. So why can't they be in our language!"
"Hey, Usopp! Look at what I found!" Luffy swung upside down right in front of Usopp, accompanied by a similar-looking, sort of miniature baboon. It was golden-colored, with a long tail. Luffy laughed. "Isn't it cool? Watch what he does when you pull his tail!"
"Luffy!" Usopp interjected before Luffy could show him what exactly the monkey did when its tail was pulled. "That's not necessary. Can you get down from there and help me read this map!" Luffy chuckled and dropped to the ground, the monkey following suit and landing on his shoulder. "Oh, I can't read maps very well," he said. "That's why we have Nami!" Usopp sighed.
"Fine," he said. "You say the treasure is supposed to be near the middle of the jungle, right? Well this map says we're… eh… is there water nearby? Pools of lava? Orange geysers? Anything?"
"Nope," Luffy said. "Well, I accidentally stepped on an orange geyser, and that was pretty fun! But when I was up in the air all I saw was a really tall rock. Come on, let's go climb it! Maybe the treasure's up there!" The captain readily pulled himself up onto a vine again. Usopp shivered and followed suit slowly.
Brook hummed to himself as he walked while Chopper kept glancing around him nervously, expecting some sort of attack at any moment. Occasionally an orange geyser would shoot up from the ground, causing Chopper to scream every time. Brook looked over to him and said, "Calm yourself, Chopper. You're rattling worse than I am." While Brook laughed about that Chopper fixed him with a fierce look. "It's not funny!" he insisted. "There could be all sorts of creepy things in these woods!"
"What, I'm not enough for you? Yohohoho!" Brook sighed happily. "Don't worry, boy, we'll be out of here soon enough. With treasure," he added, chuckling. "You see that rock up there? Let's go climb it. I'll bet there's a load of treasure at the top." Chopper followed Brook unsurely. "If you think so," he muttered.
"Ugh. This place is so gross." Nami pulled her sandal out of a mud puddle for the fifth time. "This treasure had better be good." As a swarm of mosquitoes began buzzing around her head she sighed and corrected, "Actually, for all this, this thing had better be the One Piece."
"Nami, finding the One Piece will be much, much harder than this," Robin said, swatting the mosquitoes away from her friend with a few extra hands. The archaeologist referred to the book she was carrying; the one from which Usopp had gotten his map. "It says here that Orange Ring Isle has been studied very carefully for many, many years but has never been very accurately mapped. Anything could be in these jungles. Sightings include large birds with silver wings and feathers that will sell for roughly four hundred thousand beri apiece, large turtles with shells of gold, and the occasional golden baboon which has a knack for grass, straw, cattail, and many other plants. There is also said to be something with a big shadow occasionally seen- something about rare sightings…"
"Four hundred thougsand beri?" Nami asked in disbelief. "For one feather? Sanji could get us the whole bird if we asked."
"I wonder if the bird is dangerous," Robin said. "Hm… aha. We're looking for a really tall rockform… oh my," she smiled at the book. "This should be interesting,"
"Let's climb this rock," Sanji said, pointing up ahead. "Think treasure's at the top?"
"Definitely," Franky said, nodding. "Why would you put it anywhere else?"
"Good point," Sanji muttered.
Luffy came close to the rock on his vine and looked down at it with a big grin. "Oi, Usopp!" he called. 'Watch this!" Suddenly, Luffy brought back one of his fists and slammed it into the side of the rock.
"Luffy!" Usopp yelled. "What do you think you're doing?"
"It's not a rock!" was Luffy's answer, and suddenly the "rock" rumbled and rose from the ground, spraying dust and clods of dirt up all around it. From all sides, seven pairs of eyes widened and Brook stared as the so-called 'rock' lashed its huge, flat head and held its tail ready as a weapon. The creature's head was flat-like and quite resembled a boulder, excepting two stone spikes extending from its jaws. Its skin was hard and leathery gray-green right down to its tail, which could be no better described than what looked like a gigantic stone sea urchin.
"This is so cool!" Luffy giggled. The creature looked his way and uttered what sounded like a growl. "I wonder what it- oh, my hat!" In the next moment the tiny golden baboon had seized Luffy's hat and was swinging away with it. "Come back! That's mine!" Luffy swung after the monkey, leaving the rest of his crew to the "rock" monster.
"Zoro, did you hear that?" Tashigi asked, looking around.
"Yeah," Zoro said, grabbing Wadou's hilt. "Think the rest of them are in trouble?" Not a moment later, a golden-haired baboon with a long tail and a straw hat on its head swung right over their heads, and, as they stared, so did Luffy, screaming at it to give him his hat back. A moment later, a roar came from in the direction opposite of the way they had been heading. Zoro decided for Tashigi that they were heading towards the roar.
The rock monster was chasing all of them at once with sharp steely teeth. It never quite moved outwards, only in a circle. By now all of the crewmembers present had discovered each other.
"Don't you dare hurt Robin-chan or Nami-chan!" Sanji growled, kicking the monster squarely in the jaw. "Where's that swordsman when we need him!"
"Hina-san, a message!" Fullbody called adoringly into Hina's office.
"Not now," Hina said, holding the den den mushi's speaker piece against her shoulder. "Hina is in the middle of a call."
"Ahh, but Hina-san, it's about the sergeant major… we heard something very interesting." Hina spoke into the speaker. "Fullbody found some more news," she said. "Go on," she said to her subordinate.
"We recorded it, Hina-san." Fullbody sat the receiving end of the snail down on the table for Hina to hear.
"Listen, Smoker-kun," Hina said, holding the speaker next to the snail. The transmission began.
"To… krtz… get me off that island. Now that I think… krtz… about it, it wasn't that great…"
"Zoro, I have a feeling. I… feel that way about being onboard your ship. I want to…krtz… stay. It's… a weird feeling, but…krtz… I like it better with your crew than aboard Smoker-kun's ship. I mean, Luffy is krtz clearly a strong-willed captain and he has picked…krtz… remarkable crew members, although I question Nami and Robin's …krtz positions sometimes. I mean, justice is always changing. Mine just changed, and a lot more than you'll ever know."
"KRTZ… Luffy likes… krtz… when he likes someone he sticks with them…krtz… insistent that Smoker wants you back as his nakama…"
"Smoker-kun's wants aren't mine, though…"
KRRRRRRRRRRTZZZZZZZZ
"You've got a… krtz…look…krtz…snail…tinier…red…krtz…"
The transmission ended. Smoker was silent through the den den mushi.
"They've brainwashed her," he said after a few moments.
"She has changed, Smoker-kun," Hina insisted. "Tashigi is about as good as a pirate herself."
Next Time:
Robin tilted her head, eyeing the feather sticking out of Tashigi's pocket. "Where did you find that, Tashigi-san?"
"Oh," Tashigi said, pulling it from its place and holding it up for the archaeologist to see. "Zoro got it off of one of the huge birds there. Isn't it nice?"
"That's one of the 400,000 beri feathers!" Nami cried, pulling at her hair enviously. Zoro pulled his own feather to look at it. "Hm," he said. "That's weird." Robin looked down into her Orange Isle book and smiled secretly.
