SuperCola Powered Live

by Noone the Virgin

Based on true events, this is the tale of a group of people with a fond infatuation for the series, One Piece. Each of them have their own stories and goals that they follow, but in the midst of it all, their love for the pirate manga is thick and true. One place in particular welcomed them with open arms, a warm heart and most importantly... A home. This is our story.

Ever since I was a little girl, I've had a fascination with planes and the sky. The way they move so freely into the air, the vast space that the sky has above. I feel free whenever I look at it. Even on a cloudy day, I love the sky. What hidden wonders hide in the clouds?

I had to find out.

On the farm my grandparents owned, I sat at the fence, looking at the planes that flew by freely. I wanted to be in one, to see the ground from so high up. One day, I took a daikon from the bushel that we had on our kitchen table and planted it in the ground. I told myself that I'll fly one day, and use this vegetable as an indicator of how long it will take. When I finally fly, I'll pull you out from the soil, my dear daikon.

So I waited. Day by day going on with my life as usual. Days became weeks,

Then months,

And then years.

By that point, I had enrolled in piloting school, young and full of hope and optimism. I always checked to make sure that the daikon I planted was watered properly. My parents did just that for me when I couldn't make it to the farm. It had grown very long from the look of its leaves. I knew it was going to be time to pick it soon.

And that time came a lot sooner that I'd thought. I flew my first plane above the area where our farm was located. The mountains, the trees, the woods, the lakeside, all of it was in my sight at once. I felt happy. Tears rolled from my eyes as I witnessed this. I had finally flown.

At graduation, I took a picture with the plane I flew and then again, a picture with the daikon I planted so long ago. It was twice as long as me! I didn't want to eat it, so I preserved it and hung it on my wall as a memento. From there on, I had no idea on what to do next. A friend suggested to me that I become a mechanic, building the same planes I piloted in. I knew what I wanted to do then.

Building not just planes, but something bigger than any plane could ever accomplish. I didn't know if I could do it, but I wanted to try.

That's when I finally met Snake. He pushed me to make the SuperCola Powered airship. From that day on, I dedicated my life to making it work.
