The sun rose slowly over the ocean one morning, all the events of the day before forgotten, washed away. The waves reflected the light, spreading through the surface into the sea floor as it got higher and higher. Bright, strong, the light spread, but the ocean is deep…..and some parts will never see how bright the world can really be. Of course, anything can change.
The straw hats had to be the most insane group of individuals anyone can imagine. Of course they all got along quite well because of it. The Going Merry, it was quite a ship. In fact it was anything BUT a pirate ship when you looked at the friendly lamb head and the stripe sails, paired with the healthy Mikan trees. Inside the ship a young woman silently read her map. It was early morning, when the sky hadn't fully lost its shade of blue, and the clouds were thick before the sun dried them out. She sipped her cup of tea, and turned a page.
BAM. CRASH.
She looked up to see her captain with a grin on his face and the door knob in his hand. The door had smashed on impact to the wall. The knob was all that was left. He turned and looked at the knob as if something was wrong. He slowly looked at the wall, then the rubble all over the floor. "Oops. Oh well." The knob fell with a clank to the floor. "NAMI! I'VE GOT THE MOST EXCITING NEWS YOU'VE EVER HEARD! GUESS!" "You discovered a new type of meat." She went back to her map and tried to will the idiot into walking back outside and doing it quietly. "…No, now I wish I did though. AHH NO, GUESS AGAIN!" He started jumping in place with his hands in fists. She sighed. "What Luffy. It's too early to guess." "There's a HUGE island right outside, and it's got the coolest looking mystery machines ever! I saw stuff FLYING! Like a fake shiny bird! And there tons of Devil fruit users, and and…PEOPLE WERE WAVING AT US! Nami….you know what this means right!" She paled at the news, and slowly shook her head no without really registering. The captain closed his eyes and threw his fists up in the air. "…IT'S A PARTY ISLANDDDDDDD!"
