Chapter 28- Rocket meets Epsilon! Rocket is mad at Sapphire again and this chapter title is too long!
Rocket woke up to find Noyrea, Sapphire, Leo and Epsilon asleep, so he did crunches until they woke up.
Leo was the first to wake. "Captain, you should call me Vivoni Leo from now on. Also, that kid," Leo pointed to Epsilon, "is named Epsilon, and he hitched a ride to find the One Piece." Leo grabbed a book. "And on top of that, our compass isn't working."
"Okay." Rocket said.
"'Okay'?" Noyrea had awaken. "You say that a lot, don't you?"
"Get me a marker." Rocket said. Then Sapphire woke up.
"Never mind." Rocket said.
Then Epsilon woke up, too.
Sapphire walked up to Rocket. "Hello, Rocket..." she said.
"Go away!" Rocket said.
"Why?" Sapphire said.
"You're annoying, no-one likes you. I'll throw you overboard." Rocket said.
Then Noyrea unsheathed her sword and brought it up to Rocket's neck.
"Remember how I said not to hurt her."
"Throwing her overboard is not going to hurt her." Rocket said.
"I don't want any crew members to die before we get on land!" Epsilon said.
"That would be sad." another random person hitching a ride said. She was a pretty girl, about the same age as Rocket, with white hair that abruptly turned black, carefully dyed to make a straight line of darker hair. She was wearing a cheap-looking dress and a very expensive looking necklace.
"Then the famous Cero wouldn't get to the next city." she said.
"Cero!"Epsilon, Leo and Noyrea yelled in astonishment.
