The big day

Dear diary, today is the day for which me and my friends worked so hard towards. Eric has put the final nail on our ship 6 months ago and has been training even harder since then. He is finally on par with the twins in his training regimen. He still needs to work a bit on his agility, tough. One more thing I found out during those two years is that I can see other people's stats. They appear similar to the ones from Fallout, just like mine.

The twins have almost no identical stats.

And Eric's are those of a defensive powerhouse.

I almost feel like a cheat character. Now some of you may remark that there is no "bloodline" shown under our stats even tough I have 3 bloodline pills granting a random quirk from Boku no Hero Academia in my inventory which I gained in the lottery a few years ago. Surprisingly when presented the opportunity to gain a random power with no apparent weaknesses like those of the devil fruits, my girls where only mildly interested while Eric stated that he wanted to become stronger on his own first before using one of the pills. But with stats like ours, we should be ok on the first half of Grand Line. I'm not sure how strong we became since there were no pirate crew we could compare ourselves with coming to our island.

Later at the center of the village...

Rose: "Did you bring your toothbrush ? A change of clothes ? Did you pack enough food to last you until the next island ?

Tom: "Yes mom, for the 6th time today. You asked me the same yesterday, remember ?"

Jack: "Your mom is worried about you son, don't take it badly."

Rose: "I do remember a grown-ass man crying his eyes out because his 'little baby boy is leaving the nest'. Who could that person be, mhm ?"

It was kind of fun seeing dad all flustered and trying to cover up what mom just said.

Jack: "Anyway son, what's the name of your next escale ? I remember it was Co-something..."

Tom: "It's the Conomi Islands" Strange, I feel like the name rings a bell... I will probably remember it later. For now, time to embark on our adventure.

Eric: "Captain ! There are a few important things left to do."

Tom: "Part..." Ella, Bella and Eric: "AND IT'S NOT PARTYING !!!"

Eric: "You have to name the ship and the crew, captain."

I have to say, Eric did one hell of a job. It was a long galleon of a bit over 50 meters (165 feet for our american friends) and painted ebony black. I don't regret having to use some of my shop points on buying Treasure Adam Wood. It is the world's best material for ship crafting.

Tom: "A large black galleon....yes... I know just the name for you. All aboard the Black Pearl, Immortal pirates !!!"

Ella: "You don't think 'Immortal pirates' is bit too much ?"

Bella: "My feelings exactly."

Eric: "I'm with your girls on this one, captain."

Tom: "How about 'Drunken Haze' pirates ?" I asked meekly.

Everyone else: "That'll have to do..." why do you all seem so dejected ? I have a great naming sense. I do.

Jack: "Here son, catch !" My father tossed me a black bundle of cloth. As I unroll it I see a skull drinking from a large bottle. "I prepared this Jolly Roger knowing you love to party. Remember to send letters from time to time."

Tom: "Thanks dad. I'll make our Hank family proud, don't worry about me and take care of mom. I'd like a little brother or sister who I can boast to when we come back."

Before my parents could say anything else, our ship was leaving the docks to our new adventures, Conomy Islands.
