When The Guy Fell From The Sky~
Meanwhile on an island not too far away…
In a town that stood upon it–
A young Ginger ran quick- footedly across the cobbled pavement for dear life.
Yes…!
I finally got it…!
She was chased down by straggling members of a notorious crew who was currently docked there–
One that flew a peculiar Jolly Roger that belonged to a certain Pirate with a Red nose…
Above the island Luffy flew still, held captive by the bird and then dropped like a bomb after being targeted by a clown captain's cannon ball–
Plummeting to the ground in the middle of town. He lands with the crash in the middle of the scene, turning heads all around them.
"I found him!" Said Rheddii, her red eyes flashing as she caught his position and she and Zoro made land and pulled their little ship to dock.
"I see…" said Zoro, "So he's somewhere around here, huh?"
"That's right…" said Rheddii as she scanned the area. Her red eyes flashed as she caught sight of a familiar Jolly Roger.
Her heart pounded.
So it's true…
She thought to herself.
He really is here…
Her hands clenched into themselves and slowly rose up against her chest…as though the quell her beating heart.
Then…
This could be my chance…
She pondered.
Maybe if I ask him…
"Hey, Rheddii…are you okay?" asked Zoro.
He had taken notice of the red head's silence and pulled her attention back into the current state of reality. Startling her slightly she gave her head a shake and shut her eyes tights, to deactivate and calm the pain in her eyes from the use of her Red Eye ability too long.
"Yeah…I'm good." she said to him, "Listen…Luffy fell somewhere in the middle of town." she said to him.
"Oh really?" sighed Zoro, "...Well isn't that a pain in the ass…"
"Yeah. so I think we should split up from here." she said to him, "You probably know by now that my brother has a pretty bad habit of not sitting still."
"Yeah tell me about it."" said Zoro, "Look what happened…"
"Exactly." Rheddii chuckled, "So I think we'll have a better chance of finding him if we cover more ground." she said to him.
Zoro nodded.
"Yeah…good idea." he said to her, "We'll meet back here at the docks if something happens."
"Right!" said Rheddii, "Good luck, Zoro!"
"Yeah…same to you." He grinned back at her before the two split their search.
Zoro was of course focusing on his Captain gone astray…
Rheddii however had different motives.
Of course she was focusing on finding her bumbling bouncing brother too–
But there was also a side trip she was planning on making…
If the wonder of that familiar Jolly Roger really was around to her luck…
Xxx
"Uhh…What the hell?"
The stray Pirates blinked curiously as they peered through the rubble and dust cloud that elevated from the ground.
And the Ginger on the other side did the same, staring curiously and confused.
"A…guy fell from the sky…" the men grumbled.
"Dammit…" Luffy's voice groaned out as he struggled to lift himself from the indention he caused due to his fall…
"Why were there canon balls flying at me?" he sighed, "Man…at least I'm safe now…" he chuckled as he dusted himself off and readjusted his straw hat, "And…what just happened to me? Was totally awesome~" he grinned.
