Primi felt like she had been walking for hours and starting to grow annoyed by the plant growth that followed her. Sure it was interesting to watch for a bit but after a while it just lost her attention. She looked to the large white lion as he chose to walk right next to her. The Tiger walked more forward while the panther had disappeared into the shadows, but Primi could see him once in a while.
"Hey Leo..." The white lion's ears twitched as his blue eyes looked down to her. She needed to name them and stop calling them 'the lion', 'the tiger' and 'the panther'. "Can I ride you? All these plants growing at my feet is getting annoying..." Leo gave a low growl in his chest as he stopped and lowered himself for her to climb on. "Thanks..." She grabbed onto his mane carefully and hauled herself up onto his back. Leo gave a deep purr before resuming the trek to the beach, Tiga following next to them and Panthro disappearing back into the shadows, having come out when they stopped. They may not be the most original names but they fit the large predators.
Primi held up her hand to shield her eyes from the sun rays as she and her feline companions stepped out from the forest line onto the beach.
"Okay now where?" Tiga gave a huff before pointing her nose down the beach where Primi could make a small figure in the waters. "To the boat then?" Tiga gave a nod. "Okay... Panthro..." The panther stepped out from the shadows and looked at her. "You keep to the shadows and make sure no one gets the jumps on us, okay?" Panthro nodded once before stepping back into the shadows. She nodded then proceeded to move further down the beach, Tiga next to her and Leo. She watched as they neared the figure and Primi identified it as a ship anchored off the shore with a row boat up on the beach. "You guys said this is a world I know right...?" Primi said softly and Tiga dipped her head once. Primi sighed as she looked to the ship. "Then I know exactly who's on this island...but I highly doubt they will be of any help..."
Primi slid off Leo's back and tsked as small soft patches of green seaweed and soft moss grew under her feet. She chose to ignore the growth and made her way over to the row boat. Standing before the small boat she got to thinking while Leo laid down next to her and Tiga sat by her side.
If she knew this world and its characters well enough, she should be able to say the right things to get them to, in a way, help her correct? A promise of something they will gain from helping her, a false promise at that, is a risky risky plan. And simply trying to force them to help is just completely out of the question. Maybe explaining that she was from another world and needed help would work? No, that would worsen her already difficult situation. With the race to become Pirate King peeking, anyone would jump on a chance to know a possible future and change it in their favor. She may not know exactly where the One Piece is but she has been digging through the internet to have millions of theories that a clue to the one piece is at Raftel and the actual One Piece is in a place no one would have thought of but the Strawhats stumble upon it because she personally has a strong feeling that Luffy is the destined Pirate King, and a majority of the fandom will definitely agree.
Sighing, Primi lowered to her knees and sat down in the soft bed of moss that cushioned the grainy sand under her. She ran a hand through her hair closed her eyes as her eyebrows knitted together in frustration. It should be simple enough. the answer should come to her. She was the main contributing factor in this story and it should come to her with ease. Opening her eyes, she leaned back to lay on Leo, who shifted closer to lay directly behind her. Black hair that was wavier bunched up slightly behind her and pushed some more bangs into her face, slightly obstructing her view. Primi made a low grumbling sound in her throat before simply closing her eyes once more and try to relax herself. Leo started purring in hopes of helping her relax. It helped a little but not by much but she brushed at his fur with her hand to she at least appreciates his efforts.
Now she waits and hopefully a plan would have reached her.
Nope, she's got nothing. After what felt like hours she hasn't come up with anything and from the roar coming from the forest before her, she had a feeling she was out of time.
"Was that Panthro?" Primi questioned as she stood up from her makeshift seaweed makeshift bed. Tiga looked to her and dipped her head as Leo stood up behind her. Sighing Primi steeled her nerves and watched the tree line with falsely placed determination as she watched Panthro emerge from it, a light sprint over to her. The smaller of the trio leaped over Leo's large form and crouched down behind him while peeking out slightly from behind him, eyes focused on the forest. Primi looked from the black cat to the forest as Tiga rose onto all fours. A few figures, 6 at most stepped out from the tree line and walked a few feet before stopping a good distance from Primi and her feline companions.
Primi could feel the sweat running down the back of her neck as she stared into the deadly sharp eyes of Eustass Kidd, Captain of the Kidd Pirates. By his side was Killer with Heat and 3 other crewmates. Primi held her form stiff as the red head's narrowed eyes focused on her, his mouth pulling into a slight scowl.
"And just what do you think you're doing...?" His tone promised great pain if she set him off. Primi knew she was in a dangerous situation, not because of the pirates and such. Oh no. She was a danger to herself. Dangerous figure or not if he got her nerves grating she would not be responsible for what she does next. Thinking on the spot she decided to play the role of native.
"What are you doing on this island?" She could compliment herself and remaining steady later now she had more pressing matters. "What have you come in search of?" As far as Primi knew there wasn't a village anyway on this island that they could go to get supplies and what have you not. Kidd tsked as his eyes seemed to narrow more. Just as he was about to say more Killer stepped forward.
"Are you a native of this island?" Killer's deep voice sent something up her spine that was not pleasant, shocker there seeing as he was her favorite piece of mysterious eye-candy. She studied him carefully and nodded slightly.
"You could say I am... what business have you hear then?" Primi took one experimental step forward and watched as the crew men stiffened while Kidd, heat and Killer remained calm. Tiga was slightly behind her using her shoulder to keep Leo from advancing forward with her. Primi could see from the corner of her eye Panthro hand taken on a stealth mode, his body almost 100% invisible as he slowly circled around the group of pirates. "Answer me." Primi was not the very patient type at times.
"We came here on intel that a clue to the legendary one piece was left here by the late pirate king, Gol D. Roger." Primi raised her brow and looked back to Tiga as Leo was finally allowed to step up and stand by her side.
"Tiga, is there such a thing here...?" Primi asked softly, making sure they would hear her. She saw Kidd raise a hairless brow, maybe, in very slight interest. Tiga stared into her eyes before dipping her head once. Primi felt her eyes widen slightly as she had to hold back on shouting at the large feline on leaving out that small detail. Turning back to her audience she waved a hand off swiftly climbed up onto Leo's back. "Well I hope you found your searches to be in vain, leave now." She patted Leo's mane and off the Lion took up the beach, Tiga following along with Panthro who then swiftly jumped into the forest soon followed by Leo and Tiga.
Primi buried her face into her white lion's mane, mentally cussing herself out. She gave herself away as someone who knew where the thing that they were looking for, and worse she ran off instead of diffusing the situation. Yeah this totally wasn't going to come back and bite her in the ass.
"O-Oi!" Kidd and Killer yelled as they watched the native woman take off running on her large white lion. Before they could even move to follow and catch her, she ran rode right into the dense forest. Kidd frowned deeply as he felt his anger grow.
"Damn it!"Kidd growled. Killer looked back to his captain and they both shared a single thought.
That woman knew where the clue is and maybe more.
Killed looked back to where the woman was and kneeled down to the patched of moss and seaweed that grew where she stood.
"She definitely has something of importance... and it maybe linked to the one piece." Killer said as he stood up again. Kidd looked to his childhood friend.
"We go back to the ship, gather a few more crew men and we capture her and make her talk."
And here's Chapter three after a long time ^^
