-„So you guys belong to the Strawhats?"
-„Yes, now you impressed, no?!" Lysop proudly admitted while laughing like a mad man.
-„Hell no!"
-„Hahahahha yeah right...wait, what!"
-"Pinocchio, I would be impressed if you were „Red-Haired" Shanks crewmebers, kkkk".
-„pfff stupid witch"
-„What did you just...".
-„Hey enough, both of you!", Nami interrupted the little fight and rolled her eyes by watching them glaring at each other.
-„Who is Shanks?" Chopper asked the round.
-„Shanks is one of the four emperors and a very cool and powerful man". Akira explained lovingly and smiled warmly at her new friend.
-„Gosh, why everyone has a crush on that guy?" Sanji asked somewhat annoyed.
-„Huh?"
-„Luffy, our captain admires him deeply". Nami told the blond girl and rolled her eyes again.
-„Oh well, then your captain seems to be a very intelligent person!".
-„ More or less", Nami murmured and directed herself to her crewmemebers. „Speaking of which, we should probably look for help now!".
-„What do you need? Let me help you?".
-„Thank you, but if you aren't a shipbuilder, I guess you won't be of any help."
-„Shipbuilders? Kkkkkk that's funny, because Water 7 is a well known place to look for one!"
-„Water 7!" the others said in astonishment.
-„Yes, Water 7, the big and rich City Island bordering Water 7.5, on which we are now."
-„How creativ!"
Completly ignoring Lysops comment Akira turned to Nami again. „So let me propose you something. You go and look for your crew, get them, while me and Chopper will ask my boss for food, he still owns me something and then you all come and eat dinner with me tonight and tomorrow I'll show you Water 7, ok?"
-„Why should we trust you?" Lysop obviously did not like her at all.
-„1. Pinocchio, I like Bambi. 2. Citizen from Water 7.5 are poor but very kind and lovely people and 3. Do you have an option?"
-„Ok, she's right. Sanji let us go and look for the others. How are we gonna find you?"
-„Miyu will show you the way. Right baby?" The little dragon sneaked down her body and stepped at Lysops side.
-„ah...ah...this...this is it, the dragon...do something!"
-„Lysop this is a cute little salamander, not a dragon. I can't believe you were afraid of it. Let's go Sanji, Lysop is going crazy again."
"OOOOOf couuuuuurse Nami-Darling!" Sanji followed her immediatly.
-„Buuuut, bb...no wait for me...", and with that the three of them and little Miyu left.
With a smile Akira turned around and started to walk in an other direction. Chopper right on her heels and swearing lightly about the high grasses, the tight planted forest and the darkness encircling them.
-„Say Bambi, don't you like the nature?".
-„What?!"
-„I can hear you swearing, kkkk. You know, the nature surely is a dangerous place, she is erratic and can be very frightening and still...look". With a fast movement she closed her hands around small fireflys, kneeled down and realesed them in front of Choppers face. Still smiling, she watched him gasping in amazement. „They are so very beautyful. When I was a little child I always wanted to turn myself into a firefly, so I could fly trough the night, leaving everything behind and beeing free...". Chopper saw her closing her eyes anfor the first time, to Chopper, she seemed fragile and hurt. He somehow wanted to comfort her and reached out for her. With a sudden movement she disallowed his action, and started to smile again. And Chopper understood. He understood that there was something she didn't want to talk about, that she wanted to act strong in other peoples company.
-„Kkkkkk how stupid I am, those fireflys are easy prey... Lets go Chopper, I wanna introduceyou to my Boss! How many are you, 20 or 30?"
-"We are 7 people."
-"7! Gosh allright, you're telling me you crossed the Grandline with 7 members?". With a nodding Chopper confirmed and Akira raised her eyebrows. "Wow, ok maybe now I'm a little bit impressed. Your captain must be one hell of a fighter. Makes me look even more courious to meet him." Chopper smirked shyly and rubbed his nouse. " There is it, let's go and meet the Boss."
-„And you're sure he is fine with us coming tonight?".
-„As I said, he owns me something and beside that, the people living here are very helpful and kind, they will give you all they have, even if it means nothing is left for themselves.".
-„But as I know Water 7 is a rich place and doesn't Water 7.5 belongs to it?"
-„Yes, that is right and Water 7.5 once was a very peaceful, happy and rich place as you know, the World Government is taking money from the poors to give the richs to make them even richer, so the poors moved out the city because they couldn't pay anymore. The ditch got bigger and bigger till this place turned into a almost ghetto.
-"How cruel!"
-„Indeed, and they still demanding for more money, even there is nothing left.".
-„Who is they?"
-„Spandam and his marionettes!"
-„Mister Spandam Sir, we ran out of money for our secret mission, what are your orders, Sir?".
-„As usual, go and get the money those mobs in Water 7.5 have left!"
-"And she really promised us food. I'm starving!"
-"As I told you more than ten times now, yes she offered us dinner!" Nami answered and silently cursing god for giving their captain an endless stomach.
-"Seems to be a nice girl!" Robin interrupted before Nami could get more pissed.
-"Pfffff!". Lysop made a face of discomfort." I don't like her and it's the first girl Sanji doesn't act like a cavalier with, that has to mean something."
-"Yes, that means that this is a child not a woman yet, idiot. And I'm not a pado...!"
-"Faster little Salamander...Hunger...Hunger...Hunger... Sanji do you think cooked Salamader tastes good?" The poor little dragon wided his eyes out of shock and tought about turning herself into the real dragon she was, still she promised her friend not to do so. With relief she noticed the village was appearing. From far she saw her friend and the strange little deer directing their way.
-"Hey Guys, nice to meet you, my Boss is fine, come in and enj...". Starring into those blue eyes which are so similar to her owns, she stopped and starred.
-"Kiki...is that you!"
-"Kiki go away. I don't want to see you anymore. Akira go, I hate you!".
-"No Robin, Beeee, please no, don't let me alone..."
-"Robin..."
