Chapter Four

As they continued on, they finally arrived to where they were before, the main city; and there they saw, once again, the many people that crowded the streets.

From there, they decide to split up and go in separate directions. Chopper instantly left to find a book store, with Robin following behind at his request. Sanji went toward the market to restock on food, while Usopp and Franky were ordered to watch over Luffy, their troublesome captain, leaving Yumi to show Nami around.

"So, where are we headed for first?" asked Usopp.

"Where else do you think?" replied Franky, with a sigh.

"I already told you guys. WE'RE GOING TO A RESTARUANT FIRST!!!!!" yelled Luffy with much enthusiasm. Well, maybe a little too much enthusiasm, because people all around look around and stared at them.

"Okay, let's just go before they start an angry mob," said Usopp.

Meanwhile, Sanji was roaming the market place in search of more food to supply the crew, while occasionally getting off track by following the girls that he saw.

At the same time, Robin and Chopper were already at the book store, looking in every last book that caught their attention.

"Hey, Robin, look at this book!" said Chopper.

"Oh, yes... what is it?" she said, walking in his direction.

"I'm not completely sure, but it looks like it's a book of the island's legends or something like that."

"Hmmm..." said Robin, receiving the book from chopper. "I think your right."

She opened it up to a random page and read a few sentences aloud. "When the three were placed, the power was so great, it could overcome. Overcome the other great power." After reading that, she shut the book then flipped through the pages. "It looks like the last few pages are torn out." Robin lowered the book so Chopper could see. "Are there any others?"

"That was the only one," he answered.

"Well,I guess we'll have to make due with what we have."

By this time, Nami had already tired Yumi out with all her shopping and walking around back and forth from shop to shop, across the city. Yumi followed behind, dragging her feet from the weight of all the shopping bags Nami had piled onto her. As the two of them passed a bench, Yumi eagerly sat down, dropping the bags and boxes down beside her. "Can we take a break? Please?" she asked, desperately.

"What? Why stop now, when we're just getting started?" answered Nami, not noticing how worn out and tired Yumi was. "We have a lot more to do. So, where's the closest shop from here?"

"Oh, so now you choose the closest shop?"

"What? I never said 'the farthest shop'. All I said before was 'where's the next shop?' You were the one who chose the shops across the city from each other."

"What? Huh? Bu-he-" Yumi was at a lost for words. "Oh, I give up." She put her hand to her forehead and shook her head. "There's anther shop-"

"Wait..."

"Wait what? One minute you're telling me to hurry up and now your telling me to wait?" complained Yumi.

"I just wanted to ask a question," she said. "We've past this spot a lot now, and every time I see the well. But I never fail to see the writing on it. So, what's written there?"

Yumi let out a sigh before answering. "You know what? I don't really know. No one here does. But one thing everyone knows is the legends around this well," she explained. "There's one that says the souls of this island's founders lives in the well. There's another about the writing, but that one is really complicated and not very well know."

"Okay..."

They continued on around town stopping at any shop they saw.

The day went on, occasionally repeating some events, such as when Sanji went off looking for girls instead of food. But for the majority of the day, Luffy was scarfing down food, while Zoro was snoring his head off.


So, how was it? As always, please R&R:)
