The seemingly calm sea

Now the Corrupted Serpent took its first sail out at sea. As it went fuether into the horizon the darkclouds in the sky slowly dissipate as the flashes of lightning and roaring of thunder lessened. The continuous rocking of many ships stopped as the unsettled waves of the ocean returned to its former calm.

"What is going on now..."

"Aren't there suppose to be heavy showers..."

"The bad weather just stopped just like that..."

Individuals on the islands looked up into the sky which has became sunny again with puzzled and startled expresions. Obviously, the signs from the natural occurrences in the atmosphere showed that they would receive heavy showers. But nothing of such happened as the phenomenons of nature regain back its previous state, of a clear, sunny sky.

Which really puzzled them, here is not the grandline where the weather changes with each passing, so for this to happen, it can be only be described as weird. Not only the islanders were puzzled but Oyls and the workers were confused by such matters, such shrap interchange of the weather made wondered if i itwas really was coincidence.

Because all this took place when Joshua and his crew both arrived and went out of sea and as they further thought the more true it looked . But they hurriedly stopped their speculations cause if that were so, that would be a little terrifying.

"Okay now boys lets lock up, no need to think of this any further," Oyls gathered is thoughts as he waved his back and forth in the air. It doesn't matter what just happened it has nothing to to with them.

"Yes sir," they all answered in unison as they straightened there faces. What has occurred as already took place, it didn't matter if they knew what happened ,cause they couldn't do anything or even affect situation. So just focus on the you right now, what they expect after this is a big pay which would make them live a comfortable live for a while. There mouths drooled as they thought of the future.

Oyls who was watching this just shook his head with a wary smile then looked towards the sea where ship is vanishing in the horizon with a slightly squinted eyes.

"What would become of you in the future," Oyls thought as the wind gentle rustled through his hair while the sunlight reflected on the lens deeply.

"What am I thinking, that has nothing to do with me, " he scratched the back of his hair awkwardly . "I should finish up some of those ships at the back then take a nice long vacation," he touched his chin while looking on the bags on the ground with arc at the corner his mouth.

"Yes that has nothing to do with me."

He then took them up and spun lighlty around as he face expression returned to his former calm. The sun slowly dimmed out in the workshop as the screeching sounds of the door slowly close until its completely shoot.

Even though Oyls think that what happens to Joshua has nothing to do with him. He doesn't know that in the future, he will become famous throughout the seas because of what he did for Joshua....

But will the fame bring him blessing or will it be a curse....

Who knows.

...

The birds chirping flap their wings enjoyously in the air as the warm glare of the sun hits their bodies. The heat energy that fills the air blows all around in the atmosphere, waves of fromoceans continue to create ripples as the winds passes by. In the everlasting sea, there can be noted a huge dark ship which seems to bring nothing but gloom as it sail onwards.

On the deck, Joshua sat around the exquistely furnished table looking at the opening sea with a calm gaze, his expreesion was so subtle that it made it hard for one to pinpoint what he is thinking about.

"Captain, how is the feel of the ship," Laffitte asked as he walked over with glass containing some yellow coloured juice. Joshua who had his gaze elsewhere looked on the appraoching laffitte and answered,

"Its not bad, the 800 million worth of adam wood and the extra 100 million bailey did not go to waste.

The bags that Oyls was looking on was all the money Joshua has paid Oyls for any additional touch ups he had made to the ship making him go back to poor state. But it did not matter has he got what needed and for such things Joshua can always get as he continues his journey.

Laffitte smiled as he handed Joshua the cold beverage then he sat down in the opposite chair with a smiling face. Even though Joshua did not say a make a answer, one can note that he was aleast satisfied with the ship.

"So what do you want to say ," a short flicker of light ran through his eyes as he took a sip of the drink. Joshua did not think Laffitte would just come to just sit and have a chat with him, there must be a reason, so its better to go straight to think point.

"As expected of the captain," he lightly commented as his smile became wider.

"You can feel it too right,"

Laffitte said as he leaned back in the chair with squinted eyes, simply not giving a straight answer. Joshua brow slightly wrinkled as he slowly places the glass on the table.

"Yea.."

A slightly cold wisp of air rushed passed as this was spoken. Hints of solmenity appeared on Joshua's face as he looked on the seemingly calm sea.

"Such feeling has been brewing from the time we were on Shipyard island," Guzen whose hand was dripping blood said as he walks over and drew a seat. The usual wide splastered grin which was on his face often could not be seen at all.

silence...

No on talked but the solemnity on there faces can instantly tell one the situation it not right. Back at the shipyard island the air in the surrounding atmosphere was completely off and the feeling of uneasy and be felt and noted almost instantly.

The tension is rising....

This feeling was slowly accumulating and circulating since there time on shipyard island and now periods of time has went by, the feeling in the air is at its peak. Many persons might not notice because today looked the same like any another day but there is always a few who can sense the uneasiness in the air.

"Our trip to the grandline will not be so smooth sailing," Laffite smiled as he tried to look into the blazing sun in the sky.

"Right the navy offense against will be powerful," Guzen added as a small arc rose from his mouth.

Thats right the navy must have something in plan for them.

The navy would never allow them to enter the grandline peacefully. The navy's prestige in the West sea as never returned back to its peak after the appearance of Joshua and his crew and many situations happened which caused the persons in the West sea beliefs in the navy to be shaken. In addition to this , the strength of the whole squad entering the grandline would not be really difficult but how can the navy just sit and watch this happen. So they must captured him or let him 'stay' in the West sea forever.

But even though, the retaliation of the navy will come, there was no sort of panick expressions on there faces. From the very start they know what there are getting themelves into and noone thought the journey would be easy, as long as they do not fall, they will rise until they reach the top.

With that being said, many in the West sea have already gotten the news that Joshua is heading to the grandline and now everyone is one the edge waiting to sea what will happen.

Will the overload of the West sea make it through the grandline or will he fall in that process.
