Chapter 5:
"Are those Night's Watch ships?" Zoro asked as their ship wrapped around the tip of the continent and was bearing down on a village on the shore. There were a lot of sunken ships on the outskirts, but there were a few floating ones too.
"Looks like it," Nami stated, recognizing the same build from some of the ones at Eastwatch. "If this is a fragile negotiation between enemies, we should be careful how we approach it."
The others were nodding next to her when they saw Franky walk past over to the Soldier Dock System. "Channel Two, Mini Merry!" The underside of the ship started turning to reveal a large number 2 and Arya was still amazed by the ship'a awesomeness. The others thought it was really cool too and Franky showed off his design.
"Wait, Luffy," Nami grabbed the rubber captain next to her who was charging to get on the boat and she held him back. "We have to decide who goes with you."
Jon is here, somewhere, Arya didn't believe it. For the first time since her father was killed, she was going to be able to see someone she loved again. "I'm going," she said firmly.
"Hey," Nami said to her and she turned to see the woman holding up a bunch of straws. "Only Luffy gets to say that for certain. This is how we'll determine who goes with him."
"But I'm the only one who'll recognize-," Arya started and the orange haired woman shook her head.
"Nope," Nami said, "I'm sure we'll be able to find your brother. He's the guy in charge right? Shouldn't be too hard to find."
"Nami," Usopp said nervously with sweat coming down his face, "I don't like this idea. I say we just let the ones who want to go take this one."
"You really think that's a great idea?" She turned and they looked to see Franky, Sanji, Zoro, and Robin standing next to the edge, looking ready to jump down. "They'll be more likely to get us into a fight if we're not there."
"Alright everyone," Nami called out and held up the white straws. "Three of these have the bottoms burnt, if you get a burned one you go with Luffy. Got it?"
She held up the straws and everyone walked over. Arya felt her best chances of getting to go were when there were still three good ones remaining and she picked. The girl looked crestfallen as she stared at the perfectly fine straw in her hand.
"Lucky," Usopp whispered to himself and watched as Zoro picked the next one. A wide smirk appeared on his face as the bottom was red.
Sanji went next and then Chopper and neither of them got a burned one. Then it was Nami's turn and she got a burned one too. "Ahh! I don't like this idea anymore," she said but Zoro told her to stop whining and get on with it.
Usopp slapped his hands together and shouted as he grabbed the top of one of the remaining three ones. "They say luck runs in odd numbers. I'll stake all my life on this one! YaaaAAA!" He pulled it out and held it up, slowly lifting his head and staring at the red bottom. "Ughaaa," he moaned and then dropped his jaw with snot coming out of his nose.
"Oh you won, lucky," Sanji said as he saw the one Usopp picked.
"No I lost! Trade!" He shouted. The ominous village full of savages and scary Night's Watchmen wasn't on his list of places he wanted to go.
"Stop whining," Nami said as she pointed over the side of the deck towards the town. "We're going!"
"Your legs are shaking!" Usopp yelled at her. They all put coats on so she couldn't blame it on the weather, though even with their clothing, it was still freezing this far North.
"Get in already," Zoro called up to the ship and the two scared members of the party looked down to see Zoro and Luffy waiting for them.
Arya looked out over the water where she saw rowboats heading from the ships towards the shore. Jon might be on one of those boats, she thought and clenched her fists, really wanting to go with them.
There were thousands of people on shore. Tens of thousands walking around and sitting at fires in the snow covered waste. While Nami and Usopp climbed down into the Mini Merry, the others kept the Sunny moving forward.
Some people on shore definitely saw them, but the people there didn't get too surprised by the large pirate ship. Their reactions to seeing it were maybe grunting and telling a friend, or just looking away. They had other more important things on their minds, like what to eat.
A few of the rowboats hit shore and the pirates stared out as the men in the black cloaks disembarked. The coast was split into the main section that was filled with people camping, and those that were the ones who couldn't fit inside the large wooden gates around the village and had to set up camp outside. There were some huts with men in white coming out of them and hundreds of people inside the wooden walls started gathering around the small group of Night's Watchmen.
The Mini Merry started up and the group of four sat on it while it trudged forward. They went right between two of the larger ships and some men in black cloaks yelled down at them but they ignored the Crows, which is what Arya called them.
"I th-think we should turn around," Usopp whispered but Luffy and Zoro wanted to get to shore.
"If Arya's brother is in charge, I'm sure he'll be on shore right in front of his enemies," Luffy said. There was no way the man would have gained so much of the girl's respect otherwise.
"He might be in charge of the Watch," Nami corrected nervously, "but those guys on shore don't seem to like him too much."
There was some commotion on shore and the pirates looking ahead saw a man hit the ground while another bashed his head in with a staff. Usopp and Nami's faces turned blue and they shivered in their coats. There was no way they could get out of this now and just had to hide behind Luffy and Zoro for protection.
The two stronger men who just witnessed the wildling get beaten to death glanced at each other. This was a dangerous place they were entering and neither had to say it, but they'd be watching out for the weaker two with them carefully.
A few people on the shore of the village started pointing out at the small boat coming towards them. It had a small puff of black smoke coming out the back and a lamb figurehead on the front. More and more started turning as the men in black didn't know who it was and neither did the wildlings.
"Who are they?" A wildling asked the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.
Jon Snow shrugged and replied, "Never seen them before." Tormund stopped walking towards a tent to speak with the elders and turned around. Most people were looking back as the strange four got out of their weird ship that didn't have to be rowed.
The boat hit the shore and four people got out. Two of them stayed back a bit while the other two walked forward fearlessly. They were all wearing different colored coats, with the one on the front right wearing red and the man next to him in gray. The man with the gray coat had green hair and three blades at his side while the one in red had a Straw Hat. Everyone was pretty much ignoring the girl in pink and the man wearing a bandanna in a green coat.
Luffy walked forward and then stopped at the back of the group of black cloaked men. They were looking at him in either shock or annoyance as they were already surrounded by people who wanted to kill them.
"You don't know them?" Tormund asked the man who brought him here.
Jon and Edd looked at each other and then pushed through their men to the back of the group where they stared at the two men in front of them. The Lord Commander looked at them and said, "You shouldn't have come here, whoever you are," he spoke louder, "They're not my men."
"If the pretty crow doesn't know them, then let's kill 'em!" A man wearing a white fur coat on Zoro's right said. He received a lot of agreement from around as the wildlings didn't like strangers. The man who shouted lifted a large ax and then froze as a blade was pressed up against his throat.
Almost no one had seen Zoro move but his white hilt was now in his hand as he pressed the blade up against his enemy's throat. His arm was held straight out and it was the perfect distance to reach him. Zoro's eyes snapped to the man and made the guy start sweating as a trickle of blood came out of his neck.
Luffy didn't even turn his head while his swordsman put the blade up against one of the wildling's throats. "We're looking for Jon," he said and smiled at the tall man in front of him in a large black cloak. The leader of the crows had a broadsword at his side with a white crafted bear's head on the end of the hilt. He had a confused expression on his face and curly black hair in a mess above his head.
"Thought you said you didn't know them," Edd asked the Lord Commander. He kept his eye on the green haired man who was looking straight at him and didn't like this at all.
"So you're Jon," Luffy said with a smile on his face. "We have something to tell you."
"It'll have to wait," Jon Snow stated and turned around walking away.
"Well that was rude," Nami muttered behind her captain.
"Gather the elders!" Tormund yelled and walked away, leading Jon and Edd away with one other crow. There were still about a dozen crows on shore and the pirates looked around as almost everyone except for the few leaving were staring at them.
"I'm gonna follow them," Luffy said and turned to Zoro. "You coming?"
"Wait!" Nami exclaimed and ran forward. She held a hand over Zoro's mouth who she knew was going to say yes. "Someone has to guard the ship and it can't be us," she said frantically and the men agreed.
"Okay," Luffy said, "then let's go Nami," he started walking down the path left by the men who marched towards the huts. Nami looked back and forth between following Luffy or staying here. Both options led to her being completely surrounded by scary murderers, but she couldn't let Luffy go off on his own or he was going to start a war with all these people.
The orange haired woman chased after him and then the path closed in on them. "I don't know who you are but," a man in the group started and Luffy lifted a fist.
"Move," the pirate captain said with the rim of his Straw Hat down over his eyes. The wildlings froze where they were standing and they felt strange feelings that told them to move out of the way. Most of them parted, but two took steps forward. Luffy snapped his head up and lifted his hands, running ahead and grabbing the men by their faces and lifting them off the ground before slamming them back down.
The rubber pirate knew what type of men these people were. They respected strength and if he didn't use a lot they would swarm him. The two who he slammed into the ground didn't move and no one else charged in to attack them.
"Zoro protect me," Usopp whispered as there were still a lot of people glaring at them.
"Protect yourself," the swordsman said in annoyance.
Meanwhile the crew on the Sunny was watching from the bow of the ship. They moved it towards shore a little and were up alongside one of the Night's Watch ships. The men were yelling at them to run, but Robin smiled and calmly told them they wouldn't be leaving, causing the crows shouting at them to silence themselves.
Arya was staring at shore but all she could see were distant people in white coats walking around. The area of the coast outside of Hardhome was unaffected by the events going on in the town so close to them. There were so many people packed all over the coast that if things went south, they would wind up having a lot of enemies. There was a small patch of black on shore next to where the part of their crew left the Mini Merry and she could just make out the green coat Usopp was wearing. He stuck out like a sore thumb out there but the girl was looking for someone else.
"Looks like Luffy and Nami are heading further into the village," Robin said and had a hand over her right eye. She was watching what was going on from a wall of one of the houses and she saw their captain and navigator walk past following a group of three men in black cloaks. "I believe I might've just seen your brother," Robin mentioned and Arya looked up to see the woman covering one eye, making it appear in he village.
The girl had witnessed Robin's power when she made arms appear one of the days she was on the ship, but the woman told her she could make any part of her body appear. It was a strange power, but a very useful one at a time like this.
Nami and Luffy caught up to the crows and they turned to see the two following them. "Hey, that was rude how you walked away from me before," Luffy pouted at the man in front of the group.
"Listen," Jon walked towards the teen in the Straw Hat who didn't seem to understand how serious this was. "I need to get these people to follow me south of the Wall. I don't know why you're here, but let me say what I need to say first. Then I'll listen to what you need to tell me."
"Why don't we just kill them now and be done with it?" the large man with orange hair in white fur suggested and looked back at them.
"You can try," Luffy said with a grin and held up a fist.
"No no no," Nami walked in front of her captain and held her arms up. "We'll stay quiet until you're done, promise." She turned and punched Luffy on top of the head angrily, "Stop starting fights!" She kept yelling at him and the others turned around.
Tormund grunted and went into the biggest building in Hardhome. He was followed by the crows and Edd kept watching the two people outside but they walked forward and into the tent as well. He walked with them and whispered into the guy with the straw hat's ear. "Don't fuck this up kid."
Luffy nodded with his lips pressed firmly together. Nami said she'd tell Sanji not to make him dinner if he interrupted the peace deal and he wasn't going to risk that. The woman was standing right next to him as they backed up in the shadows of the tent.
One by one, leaders of different groups of wildlings came into the hut and found seats or stood around the fire in the middle of the room. The large building had a second floor with a wood platform above their heads that kept the snow from getting in and the fire kept the room at least a little warmer than outside.
Neither Nami nor Luffy were impressed when the giant walked in and found a seat in the back. He wasn't very large compared to the ones on Little Garden and at Eneis Lobby. The giant still looked strong though and Nami gulped when it looked at her.
When there were a lot of people in the room, a man with scars on the top of his bald head walked in. He snarled at the man and woman in red and pink coats and then much harsher at the men wearing black.
Tormund motioned to Jon that it was time and the curly haired man started, "I'm the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. We're not friends. We've never been friends."
Luffy was watching this man negotiating with his enemies and he started to smile as Jon gave a speech. He was looking forward to meeting Arya's brother, but the man ignored them originally and pissed off the captain. Now though, he was really showing his stuff. "...This isn't about friendship. This is about survival. This is about putting a 700-foot wall between you, and what's out there." He pointed at the wall of the hut and there was some whispering in the room amongst the wildlings.
Nami had no idea what all these people were so afraid of, but ever second she was getting more and more afraid of them too.
"You built that wall to keep us out," the only female wildling leader stated and the others were in agreement about why the crows were helping them. It seemed like a trap and no one could blame them for thinking it.
Jon kept trying to convince them no matter how set they were on distrusting him. "The white walkers don't care if a man's free folk or crow. We're all the same to them, meat for their army."
The pirates in the room stared ahead and both looked a little shocked at the words. It sounded like their mutual enemies liked to eat people. And if they had an army they were most likely people, Cannibals?! Luffy and Nami thought at the same time.
"But together, we can beat them," the head crow told them and looked serious.
"Beat the white walkers?" The wildling woman asked skeptically. "Good luck with that, run from them maybe."
Jon pulled a bag off his back and walked past the fire towards the woman. Everyone got on edge and reached for their weapons, but he didn't move in a hostile way. He was showing them something, "It's not a trick. It's a gift for those who join us."
The crow explained how the Dragonglass the woman pulled out of the bag was able to kill white walkers. The free folk seemed impressed but thought he was lying since it sounded impossible. He told them it was true and told them to come with him south of the Wall where they could farm the empty lands down there.
Now Luffy was impressed by Jon's speech as the wildlings were murmuring agreement about the good plan. It looked like they were all really afraid of these hard-to-kill white walkers. Jon continued, "I knew Mance Rayder. He never wanted a war with the Night's Watch. He wanted a new life for his people, for you."
The people in the dimly lit room started asking where Mance was, and Jon said that he was dead. Nami knew things were going south when the wildlings asked how it happened and the man in black responded by saying he put an arrow in his heart.
Even Luffy knew that was a stupid thing to say as all the wildlings started shouting that they should kill him. The bald man with scars on his head suggested sending back the Lord Commander without any eyes.
It looked like negotiations were going to fall apart when the red haired man, Tormund, spoke up. He walked around the fire and pushed the bald man who was coming to cut Jon's eyes out. "Hey, none of you saw Mance die. I did. The southern king who broke our army. Stannis, wanted to burn him alive to send us a message."
Nami was liking this continent less and less already. Why couldn't they have just stayed in that rich city in the east instead of coming to the cold land full of death? Luffy didn't like this Stannis guy either and was frowning where he stood near the door of the room.
Tormund told the others that Jon ignored Stannis and put the arrow in Mance as mercy. He said they needed to make peace with men they'd been killing for generations, but then the woman spoke up about how her father and family were killed by crows. When she did though, Jon snapped and shouted they shouldn't forget his dead because he didn't forget his own brothers killed by them during the attack on the Wall.
"But I'm asking you," he said and looked around at each of them individually. "To think about your children now. They'll never have children of their own if we don't band together. The long night is coming, and the dead come with it."
Nami froze and dread surged through her entire body. Not a single person in the room seemed freaked out by that statement, which meant they all believed it. The dead? What does that mean?! What are the white walkers?!
"No clan can stop them. The free folk can't stop them. The Night's Watch can't stop them! And all the southern kings can't stop them!" Jon shouted and Luffy and Nami were getting more and more anxious about who these enemies were. Luffy wanted to see them really bad, while Nami wanted to get as far away as possible.
"Only together will we stand a chance and even then it might not be enough, but at least we'll give the fuckers a fight." Jon ended his speech and it seemed like some people were convinced. Murmurs of people agreeing were heard around the room when the woman asked Tormund if he vouched for Jon.
"He's prettier than both my daughters, but he knows how to fight. He's young, but he knows how to lead..."
While Tormund was talking about Jon, Luffy started whispering to Nami. "Hey Nami, I just found another member for our crew." They were planning on finding Arya's brother so he could help them, but Luffy never said he'd let the man join their crew. He wanted to meet him first, and he liked the guy already.
The bald guy snarled after Tormund was finished, "My ancestors would spit on me if I broke bread with a crow."
"So would mine but fuck em, they're dead." The woman stated and walked towards Jon. "I'll never trust a man in black, but I trust you Tormund. If you say this is the way, we're with you."
"This is the way," Tormund said without a sliver of doubt in his voice.
The room started to empty out as a lot of people weren't with the plan. The bald guy and a lot of others made their ways out but some of the elders and the giant were with Tormund. The bald man didn't leave without warning the others that the crows would slit their throats while they slept and that got some of the ones who were going to follow Tormund to stop and follow the bald guy out.
The girl looked annoyed at the bald guy and then turned to Tormund and stated, "I fucking hate Thenns."
When the room was only those who decided to follow Jon, Luffy walked forward and tapped the man on the shoulder. "Join my crew," he said in an excited voice and the man turned around and faced the teen with a confused expression. "We're pirates and I want you to join us."
The man and the wildlings around him were staring at this man like he was an idiot. Jon told his men to go tell the men and get the boats ready to take people back. Then Tormund told the other leaders to go get their people to the ships out in the harbor and the other elders left leaving only the woman, Tormund, Jon, and the pirates.
"Who are you?" Jon asked the man in the Straw Hat now that they had time. Luffy was annoyed he was just ignored again so Jon could give orders, but now he grinned and introduced himself.
"He's your captain?" The dark haired woman in the white coat asked Nami after hearing the teen's loud introduction.
"Yes," Nami sighed, "he's stronger than he looks though." The woman walked towards the door and Nami decided this was the time to learn about the white walkers and followed her out, asking about it.
"And you want me to join your crew?" Jon asked. "Did you not just hear what's going on? These people need me to lead them south of the Wall. Why are you even here?"
"Oh yeah," Luffy snapped his fingers as he remembered something really important. "Your sister told us to come find you. She's on my ship right now-"
Jon had his sword drawn and pressed against Luffy's chest in the matter of one second. "If you're lying I'll put this blade through your heart."
"Arya," Luffy said, hoping the man would calm down since he didn't want to have to hurt him. "She's a part of my crew now."
Tormund looked at the shocked and angry expression on Snow's face and then back to the pirate. "So you came this far north just to tell him this?"
"Arya's dead," Jon stated, not moving the sword from Luffy's chest but not killing him either. "If you had said Sansa I might have believed you."
"Short, black hair, uhh," Luffy listed off as he lowered fingers on his hand, "she has a tiny blade called Needle."
The sword point against Luffy's chest dropped down and Jon was speechless. "She wanted to come to shore to see you, but she drew the short straw and had to stay on the ship."
"She's out there, right now?" Jon asked and they started moving towards the door to the small building. They pushed the cloth door aside and made their way outside where people were rushing around them.
"Uh huh," Luffy said with a huge grin.
"Snow," Tormund warned as they walked. "I hope you're not planning on abandoning us after I've just vouched for you."
Jon stopped where he was walking and turned to Tormund. He was looking out over the water for this man's ship, but Tormund was right. "We'll get your people to the boats first," he looked at Luffy, "then take me to my sister."
The other two nodded and then walked with him down to shore where wildlings were already being led onto boats and ferried out to the ships in the harbor. Tormund asked around with some of the elders and walked back to Jon who was asking Luffy more about Arya, whom he hadn't seen for over half a decade.
Jon stopped his conversation and frowned as he looked around, "How many are with us? Five thousand?" Tormund didn't know and Jon didn't think it was enough.
"What's so bad that you all need to get away from here?" Luffy asked and anyone who heard his question stared at him like he was an idiot. Tormund and Jon looked at each other and then asked Luffy if he'd ever heard of the white walkers. "My crew comes from across the sea," was his response.
"Let's just say you don't want to run into them while you're here," Tormund said and then helped a woman into one of the boats next to the dock they walked onto.
"So," Luffy started as they stepped back and the rowboat with the woman on it rowed away, "if I beat these bad guys, will you join us?"
Jon saw that he was serious and couldn't help a chuckle from escaping his lips. The Lord Commander replied sarcastically, "Yes, if you defeat the white walker army, I'll go with you."
Nami was talking to Karsi, the woman who was in the meeting as she walked with her children to the shore. The woman laughed at her for not knowing what white walkers were and Nami wound up telling her about how she came from a distant place thousands of miles from Westeros. This got the woman's attention and Nami explained how they were at sea when they happened upon these continents. They got to the water with Karsi's kids and she put them on a boat.
"Johnna will look after you," the woman said while she walked with her kids and handed them off to her friend. "She's in charge." Nami watched the heartfelt goodbye between the mother and children but she'd be right behind them so it didn't really matter.
Once the boat was heading out, Karsi turned back around and said, "Our King, Mance Rayder, he was a great man and we thought he could get us past the wall. I don't know anything about this Snow, but if he can do the same I'm willing to follow him."
"Why? You all seem like sworn enemies. Are these things really that bad?" Nami asked and the woman turned to her slowly.
"It was five years ago that my brother was killed by a crow," Karsi started. "They dragged back his body and the crow who killed him and I tortured and killed that crow." Nami shivered a little but Karsi wasn't done, "We should have burned the bodies. When they, came back, the entire village together couldn't kill them. We didn't know how. We wound up ripping them to pieces and tossing them in the flames. Now we know that fire was the only way to kill them in the first place, and maybe that Dragonglass too." Nami was shaking where she stood now and the women were walking back to get others to bring to the boat, "You don't look like a fighter so I'll give you a warning. If you ever see one, run as fast as you can the other way."
The four pirates were now moving freely around the camp as they didn't need to worry about being attacked anymore. It seemed like everyone was on peaceful terms for the moment as they sent the old, the children, the men and the women, to the ships. Everyone was getting out of there.
Usopp wandered into a large building and saw a few of the Night's Watch guys standing around and a large giant in the back. He walked towards it and gulped as it looked away from the black shard in its hand and to the pirate. The man with the long nose was being stared at by the crows behind him who thought he was a dead man. "I've met giants before," Usopp stated and the giant looked down at him. "They were ten times as tall as you and twenty times wider." The giant growled at the puny man but Usopp only took a small step back. "They were honorable fighters and are my idols. I wish to be brave warriors like them some day."
The giant originally told him to fuck off, but in a language Usopp didn't understand so the pirate kept talking. The large man questioned whether or not he should stomp on the human the whole time he was talking.
While Usopp was talking to the quiet giant, who actually seemed interested in what the skinny human was saying, Zoro was outside talking to the man with Jon when they got there. Edd asked him why they were here and the man with green hair shrugged as they helped people onto the rowboats. "The captain wanted to come," was his response and Edd shook his head.
"You do what the captain says without question?" He asked.
Zoro frowned as it made them sound like sheep the way he worded it. "And you disobey your Lord Commanders orders? What does he do when someone disobeys?"
"Chops off their head," Edd said with a grimace and Zoro wasn't expecting that response though he wasn't too surprised by it. The two of them continued to load up the boats together though they stayed silent while they did.
The two of them walked back into the camp together when they turned their heads to the left simultaneously. There were dogs chained up to a post and they suddenly started barking up in the air loudly.
Jon tried to focus on getting people to the boats while the thought of his sister kept pushing itself into his head. There was no way Luffy would know about Needle unless she was really there. He heard the dogs barking and snapped his head around, Luffy doing the same. People were rushing to the boats all around them, but they were staring the other way as an ominous feeling encroached on them.
Nami and Karsi were helping the elderly to the boats and one of them smiled at the girl in pink, "Thank you," the old woman said and Nami smiled back.
They heard the dogs barking and turned around and looked. The barks kept going and the wind started to pick up around them. A pit formed in Nami's stomach and her chest started to pound.
Usopp and the giant heard the barking and looked over at the wall of their building. The pirate decided to go check it out and he walked outside.
Luffy was staring up at the edge of the large cliff behind the camp. Further down the shore outside the wooden walls of Hardhome, tens of thousands of people were camped while the snow on top of the cliff started to get blown off.
The pirate captain saw Jon get off the dock and start walking forward and he followed him. The two stopped and looked out, feeling that something was coming.
Nami followed Karsi where the woman walked and they were both looking out into the distance as well. The strong wildling woman had a look of fear on her face and Nami prayed that she was wrong about what was coming. She turned her head instinctively and saw lots of rowboats heading away from shore, but the Mini Merry was still there.
Zoro left Edd behind as he jogged towards the wooden wall with the gate leading out of the town. He saw Usopp already standing over there and a bald man with scars on top of his head was standing as well with a bunch of wildlings, all of them staring out the gate towards the white cloud of snow falling off the cliff.
The wind was picking up more and more, and the dogs stopped barking. Instead they were whimpering as the wind sounded like rumbling thunder. Zoro had his right hand on his Wado Ichimonji and Usopp's legs were shaking, but he pulled out his slingshot.
The men were looking out the gate and they started to hear screaming down the coast. A huge mass of people started running towards the wooden walls and more started turning and doing the same.
Out on the water, Franky had sweat coming down his face as Arya had just explained to them what the white walkers were while they waited on the deck. They could all see the thousands of screaming people as they ran for the wooden gates of Hardhome. A huge gust of wind blew more snow from the cliff down on the shoreline and the people below started to disappear inside it.
"What's going on?" Chopper whispered, the little reindeer shaking in fear. The story Arya just told them had him on edge, and now this scary wind was freaking him out.
Robin had a bad feeling about this and her and Sanji shared a nervous looked before staring back at shore.
Back at the gates of Hardhome, the screaming was getting louder and louder. Zoro started to pull out one of his swords and held it in his hand as he looked out closely at the huge cloud of snow moving across the ground. Through the snow he saw a person get thrown up in the air and in two pieces. His eyes went wide as he thought, What the hell is happening!
A/N No way I just ended it there. Oh, I did. Sorry, big cliffhanger but next time for reals we get the big battle of Hardhome. Four Straw Hats make it to shore to stop a zombie apocalypse. WILL. THEY. WIN? eh, who knows? Jon Snow makes his appearance and he's so close to his sister that neither of them can stand how close, but so far away they are from each other. Destined reunion next chapter? Straw hats kicking ass next chapter? One thing is for sure, a whole lot of people are about to get fucked! Hope you enjoyed...
