Time On The Merry And Land

It's been some time since I've joined the straw hat pirates. Thing's were going rather well. I'd usually wake up, train, brew some potions, draft a few ideas and then just do whatever I wanted.

The straw hats were, as expected, very welcoming and easy to get along with. Though the constant shouting contests between Google Maps and Gordon Ramsey was a bit annoying at first.

Currently, I was brewing some potions as I'm quite sure we needed them, if the next few events go according to what I remember. Potions of regen were the most important to make but also quite difficult as they took quite long to brew. I also made some more ender pearls as you can never have enough ender pearls.

I made my way to the deck to get some fresh air after hours of potion brewing. I got there to find Luffy and Ussop fishing, Zoro in the crow's nest as usual and Vivi reading a book with Carue beside her.

"Hey guys." I say. I am not the most social person but that doesn't mean I won't talk with my own crew.

'"'Hi Techno/Quack"" They all replied. I then went to a side of the deck and lay down and started reading a book I brought. While reading the book I also thought back on how crazy all this was. I do that often but it's still difficult to believe.

*Some Time Later*

I closed the book I was reading and got up. It was around midday and I was already feeling bored. With nothing better to do I decided to do what a lot of bored people do, sing.

'Just a small town girl

Livin' in a lonely world

She took the midnight train goin' anywhere

Just a city boy

Born and raised in South Detroit

He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

A singer in a smokey room

The smell of wine and cheap perfume

For a smile they can share the night

It goes on and on, and on, and on

Strangers, waitin'

Up and down the boulevard....'

^It's A great song. Listen to it on spotify or wherever^

I started singing Don't stop believin' by journey as it's a great song and honestly It's quite upbeat. I made my way around the deck and sang as I stopped on the railing and stared out into the vast sea.

I closed my eyes and continued humming the song when-

"Land Ahead." I heard Zoro shout from the crow's nest, and sure enough as we got closer I saw an island which would act as the introduction to an interesting race of people and an equally interesting duo of pirates.

In front of us was , none other than, Little Garden.

Hello, is it me you're looking for?

Well I'm here. I basically had writers block for no reason as I wasn;t sure how to write a chapter bridging the two arcs.

So, sorry about the wait.

Now be sure to leave your ideas and criticisms in the comments and also if possible give me a few stones.

Ja Ne.
