Alabasta port town, Nanohana.
As soon as they arrived, Luffy ran out screaming for food. Sanji and Chopper went out to get food and clothing, Usopp looped around the village to scout. Vivi couldn't leave the dock because her face was known throughout the kingdom, so Nami stayed with her as well as Zoro as their bodyguard.
Frisk decided to explore the village by herself.
* You tell Nami that you want to look around the town.
"You should have left with Chopper and Sanji then. Are you going to be okay alone?" Said Vivi with a worried face.
* You tell her that you won't get lost.
"Unlike some swordsman," Said Nami jokingly.
* You look at Zoro, and he seems upset. You guess that he is awful with directions like everyone else said.
* You look around and look at the townspeople. You think that it's a lovely peaceful village without any worries of a civil war breaking out.
* You buy a bunch of cold water and store it in your inventory.
* Fulfilling your objective, you buy ice cream from an ice cream vendor and start walking back to the ship.
* You think about where Luffy is, and you bump into someone dropping your ice cream.
* You look up and see a tall man with white hair chewing down a cigar looking down on you.
* You don't think he will hurt you, and you stand still as he lowers his hand to your head.
"Sorry, kid, it looks like my pants ate your ice cream. Here go buy yourself five scoops." said the tall man. As he gave Frisk some coins
* You smile and say thank you.
"It's nothing. Tashigi! Let's go looking for the straw hat." Ordered the Tall man.
"Yes, sir!" Said the woman with glasses.
* You see the marines walk away. You think that they are searching for Luffy.
* You hastily move back towards the ship.
* You arrive back at the port and see everyone dressed differently. Besides Zoro, who looked like a bandit, everyone looked fine. But the women's outfits were…
"Sorry if I sound like I'm complaining after making you go out and buy clothes, Sanji. But… These dresses make us look more like exotic dancers than inconspicuous civilians." Said, Vivi
"Oh, it's all fine, isn't it? Aren't dancers civilians as well? As long as we don't look like pirates and you don't look like a princess, it's all good, right?" Said Sanji with hearts in his eyes.
"But to walk across the desert in this is…." Said, Vivi.
"Don't worry. I'll carry you if you get tired. "
* You tell Vivi and Nami that they look beautiful.
"Oh, Frisk! You're back!" Said Nami.
"Oh, Frisk-san! I also have clothes prepared just for you!"
* You receive the clothes from Sanji and look at what it is. It's a sundress with blue and purple stripes.
"Those are your favorite colors, right?" Asked Sanji
* You nod, and you quickly change into the clothes.
"You look adorable!" Said, Vivi
"Yeah, looks really good on you!" Said Nami.
"Mellorine Mellorine Mellorine "Said Sanji with heart in his eyes.
"By the way, where the heck is Luffy?" Said Nami
* You tell them that marines are looking for Luffy right now and that you saw this white hair that was big and had cigars.
"Really! That must be Smoker!" Said Nami
"The town seems pretty rowdy right now."
Usopp peaks around the corner and quickly hides.
"It's the marines!" Said Usopp
"Maybe some pirates appeared," Said Zoro
* You peak out too and say that you see Luffy being chased.
Everyone falls down flat and says
"Of course it is…."
* You suggest that you all start running sooner than later before Luffy brings the whole marines to them.
"Good idea! We supplied everything we needed. Everyone grab the supplies and start running!
* You all start running, and soon Luffy sees Zoro and calls out his name loudly.
* You see a puff of smoke go towards Luffy.
"I won't let you escape! White Blow!" Said the man with white hair.
"Ahhhh!" Yelled Luffy.
* You suddenly see a firewall blocking the blow
"You haven't changed at all. Have you Luffy?" Said the stranger with fire coming out of his body.
"ACE!?" Yelled Luffy.
* You see the half-naked man blocking the way of the marines.
"Seems like we can't even talk at all right now. I'll catch up later, so you guys run away for now. I'll stop this guy," Said the half-naked man.
* You think Luffy and this guy know each other and start running away.
* Everyone safely arrived at the ship and we raised the sail.
* We all say goodbye to Carue for now as he has to deliver a message to the King.
* You ask Luffy if it's okay to leave the person who helped you.
"It's okay! Ace is my brother. He said he'll catch up later, and I know he will." Said Luffy.
"Brother!?" Said everyone shocked.
"Nishishi, Ace is a pirate too. He's also searching for One Piece. Ace is 3 years older. So he left our hometown 3 years earlier than me."
* You think about Papyrus and Sans. You wonder how they are doing. While lost in your thought, Luffy's brother jumps onto the ship.
"Ace!" Said Luffy.
"Sup," Said Ace.
"Oh, but first, Thanks for taking care of my troublesome little brother."
"Eh Oh, Not at all." Said, everyone.
* His relationship with Luffy reminds you more of Papyrus and Sans.
* You stare at Ace, and he meets his stare back at you and smile.
"I'm just glad I met up with you. I've been sailing the seas around here for a little business I have to take care of, and I thought it'd be nice to see you once before sailing off again.
* You see Ace smile, it really is similar to Luffy.
"Here, I wanted to give you this."
"Hm? What is this?"
"Always keep that with you."
"A scrap piece of paper?"
"Yes, and that piece of paper will bring us together in the future."
"Uhh…"
"Don't want it?"
"No, I'll keep it!"
* You see Ace jumping back on his boat.
"What!? You're leaving already!?" Yelled Luffy.
"Yeah"
"The next time we'll meet is when you're at the pirates' top'."
"See you again!" said Ace as he left with his small yellow boat.
* You arrive at Elumalu with everyone wearing a body robe to protect their body. Sanj does not appreciate it though.
"My ladies covered their bodies…." Cried Sanji sadly.
"We need to cover our bodies so that we don't get sunburned." Said, Vivi.
"Alright! We're here at Yuba!" Said Luffy
"Actually, Luffy, this isn't Yuba. We still have to walk Northwest across the desert for half a day." Said, Vivi
"Half a day!?" Said Usopp.
* You see a dugong pop out from the river.
"Woah! What the heck is that!" Yelled Usopp!
"That's a Kung-Fu Dugong!" Said, Vivi.
The dugong flexes on Usopp after beating him up
"Pathetic." Said Zoro
* You approach the dugong
"Watch out!" Said, Vivi
* You dodge the dugong's attack and start flexing.
* The dugong sees the challenge you declared and starts flexing too.
* You flex.
* The dugong starts flexing even harder.
* You flex.
* The dugong flexes so hard that he collapsed.
"..." The crewmates stare at Frisk as Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp are rolling on the floor laughing.
* You see that Usopp recovered quickly.
"...I… w...what?" Said Vivi with a confused face.
* The dugong got up and bowed to you.
"Oh, no! You shouldn't have beaten the dugong. It's their custom for the loser to become the victor's disciple." Said, Vivi
* You see other dugongs show up and bow down to you.
* You flex, and all the other dugongs flex with you.
"How many disciples do you have already!" Screamed Vivi.
* You all hang out with the dugongs shortly, and you pull out some food from the inventory and give it to the dugongs. You wave goodbye to them.
"Alright, let's go to Yuba then!" Said Luffy.
* As you all walk through the destroyed town, Vivi explains how this place used to flourish with plant life despite the little rain they got hence the name, city of green. However, starting 3 years ago, the country began to suffer severe drought. However, Albuarna, the capital city of Alabasta, received higher amounts of rain that they usually would get. People thought it was the king's miracle, but 2 years ago, an incident happened where people believed that the King of Alabasta was using massive amounts of dance powder to cause the rain.
* You see Nami deep in thought as she hears the word dance powder.
"You know what that is, Nami?"
"Yes… it's commonly known by its nickname, "The powder that calls forth rain. In short, it's a powder that artificially makes rain. That's what dance powder is." Said Nami.
"Hm? Wait, if that's the case, isn't that exactly what your country needs right now?" Usopp asked
"That's what anyone would think at first. As the name "dance powder" implies, but behind the blessing, it calls forth lies a great pitfall…, and that pitfall is a drought in the land's leeward!" Said Nami.
* You look at Vivi's sad expression and think of the pain she must be going through. You all walk up and see a skull. Vivi kneels down and gently picks up the skull.
"My innocent father was completely dumbfounded by the incident, but the fact remained that a large amount of dance powder had been somehow delivered to the royal palace. It was all a trap laid out by crocodile… And just as he intended, a rebellion arose! The start of a bloody conflict between the angry citizens who had lost their homes to the drought and the innocent government…! What gives him the right to do such a thing!?"
* You slowly walk towards Vivi, and you pull out a buttercup flower from your inventory and plant it next to the skull, marking the grave. You hug Vivi tightly. Vivi hugs back.
"I will… Never forgive that man!" Yells Vivi.
* You hear a loud crashing noise and turn around. A building got destroyed by Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp.
"Hey, Just what're you guys thi…" Nami said
"Let's hurry up and get a move on. My fists are getting antsy," Luffy interrupts.
"Ugh….." Moaned Luffy.
* You feel the intense sun pouring down on you.
"Can you please stop panting like that, Luffy!? Just hearing it is tiring me out…!" Said Nami
"Ughh... I'm roasting up… water..." Said Luffy as he pulled out the water canteen stored up.
"Remember Luffy, one gulp. Just enough to moisten your throat," Said Nami
* You see Luffy storing as much water as he can with one gulp.
"That's way too much!" Yelled Nami, Usopp, as they slapped him in the head.
* You laugh thinking that it's funny.
* You think if it's time to pull out the water you saved up in your inventory for the others.
* Luffy lost rock paper scissors and had to carry all the supplies.
"Rocks sighted at 12 O'Clock!" Said Usopp
"Break time!" Said Luffy as he rushed to the rocks as fast as he could.
* You notice that Luffy was calling for Chopper to save the birds, but by the time they arrived at the rocks, all of the supplies disappeared.
"Those were swindle-herons. They trick passing travelers to steal their luggage for food and water." Said, Vivi
"There was 3-days worth of supplies in there! And you just had to lose it to some damn birds out of all things! How the hell do you expect us to survive without any food or water in the middle of this desert!?" Scolded Sanji
"Well, it's too late to complain now! I've already been tricked!" Said Luffy
"Oh, so you're dumber than a bird now, is that it!?" Said Sanji
"What was that!?" Yelled Luffy.
* You tell them to calm down.
"But Frisk-San."
* You pull out food and water from your inventory and give water to everyone.
* You see everyone look at you in shock.
"You're a lifesaver, Frisk!"
"Great job!"
"You're an angel Frisk-san!"
"Not bad."
"Wow, Frisk!"
"I thought we were going to die."
"Amazing!"
* You blush as you are bombarded with compliments.
"Not that I'm not grateful, but why didn't you just store everything in your special pouch?" Asked Usopp.
* You tell him that you can't store things that are too big or too many things in there.
* While everyone rests up at the rock, Luffy chases the birds as they taunt Luffy, and we get to eat a giant lizard Luffy brought back to everyone as Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji kill it immediately. You also get to ride on a camel named eyelashes by Nami with her.
* By the time you all arrive at Yuba, you all see that something is not right with the town. A sandstorm struck Yuba and saw the oasis all dried up already. You all learn that the rebels have already left and relocated to Katorea. You see that an old man named Toto was caring for the town here.
"Toto… please don't worry anymore." Said, Vivi
"I'll stop the rebels no matter what!" Said, Vivi
* You look at Vivi's expression. She is determined, but yet you're not sure what to feel. You know that sometimes determination alone isn't enough to solve a problem.
* Toto showed us to one of the inns to get settled. You think it is a very comfortable place to sleep in.
"Well, we've all done great work today, so I think we've earned some rest!" Usopp says and quickly lies on his own bed.
Zoro throws a pillow at Usopp right in the head.
"Please, this whole trip, you've been nothing but lazy!" Said Zoro
* You see the banter of everyone throwing pillows at each other and laugh. Eventually, Usopp throws a pillow at you, but you dodge it with ease and aim it back at him.
* You notice that everyone is sleeping from the exhaustion today. You quietly leave the door.
* You go up to the roof and stare at the stars.
"... What are you doing here, Frisk."
* You turn around and see Zoro looking at you. You smile and say hello.
* Zoro walks up to you and sits next to you. You both look at the stars quietly for a while. You decide to muster up some courage and ask Zoro a question.
* You ask why Zoro is suspicious of you.
"... What do you mean."
* You tell Zoro you think that Zoro was always on edge with you. Not from malice, but not as relaxed as the other crew members.
"You're wrong. I'm not suspicious of you, but rather you are acting suspiciously."
* You feel the cold wind blow.
"I don't care why you joined the pirate crew. Everyone has their own ambitions, and they all came out to the sea to achieve it. No one forces you to be loyal to the pirate crew.
* You look at him in silence.
"What I worry about is your existence disrupting our pirate crew. Not what your true nature is, but whether what you show us is sincere. You always act as if none of this matters at all. As if you don't matter at all to the pirate crew. That this is only your burden to bear. This is a matter of trust."
* You think about what Zoro said. You never asked for help. You always tried solving problems by yourself. You never relied on the rest of the crew. You only helped others without asking in return for anything. You thought it was always evident that you had to help others and solve the problem so that no one else is hurt. You're not sure since when it was that you were so used to being in pain.
*...
"... It's difficult," Whispered Frisk.
"...Oi."
* You turn around and see Zoro waving his hand, gesturing for you to get closer.
* You get close to him and sit on his lap. It's warm despite the cold wind blowing.
"... Just don't try to keep everything to yourself." He sighs.
* You smile sadly and look at the stars with Zoro. Thinking that the sun will rise once again fills you with determination.
