Sorry for the late update, my laptop threw a fit and had to have some parts replaced. Also, school's getting busier at this time of year, so instead of weekly updates I'll update once a fortnight.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Locks broke the ropes restraining her and stumbled outside. Water splashed up, flooding into the room and then receding, carrying two charred bounty hunters with it.
The dragon girl shook herself, groaning and clutching her head before-
Her head jerked up, turning to face towards the sea with wide eyes. Suddenly, her headache was gone and 'north' wasn't in seven different directions.
"That flower-guy said something about me being a living log pose, didn't he?" she mumbled, vaguely recalling overhearing such a conversation. "Must've locked on, then."
There was a lot of yelling coming from the town they had apparently docked at. With a yawn and a stretch, she decided to check out whatever mess Luffy had gotten into this time.
oOo
Miss Wednesday has no idea where the other girl came from . . . but please, somebody make her go away!
Carue was racing through the streets as fast as his webbed feet could carry him, and it still wasn't enough!
Locks giggled at the pair from her place in the sky. Her bat-like silver wings beat lazily as she watched the girl on the giant duck being carried around . . . and around . . . and around in circles. Occasionally, a guy in a crown would take potshots at locks under the mistaken belief that she was somehow responsible for his friend's stupidity.
As the duck passed the big building in the middle for the 47th time, Locks heard an almighty angry yell.
"ZORO!"
She turned her head to watch as Luffy attacked his first mate, yelling something about the swordsman hurting all the nice people who fed them. Locks promptly decided to ignore her brother's opinion, seeing as the people she'd seen so far were most definitely not nice.
The giant duck was on his 50th round.
"Go, Feathers!" Locks called out encouragingly. The blue-haired girl screamed.
oOo
Nami was most decidedly not passed out drunk; no matter what she had fooled the suspicious islanders into thinking. She was sneaking around looking for treasure when a giant duck nearly knocked her down, Luffy screamed at Zoro, and a familiar voice yelled "Go, Feathers!" from the sky.
She glared upwards. Locks paused, looking down at her guiltily. Nami pointed at the ground and tapped her foot. With a snort and a scowl, the dragon-girl complied, her wings and tail vanishing as she landed.
"Yes?" Locks said warily. Nami beamed.
"I was hoping you'd say that! Now use that nose of yours and sniff out my money!" the navigator chirped.
"I'm not a dog . . ." Locks grumbled, but she started sniffing the air all the same, searching for the particular metallic scent of gold.
