Part 17 First Steps On The Archipelago


Soon after, the ones on the ship, set eyes and arrived at Sabaody Archipelago.

   Bubbles, oh so many bubbles and little popping noises. This area is Sabaody Archipelago, the last stop before Fishmen island. Sabaody was gorgeous and the ground... It was sticky. Though the bubbles wouldn't be there if not for the sticky ground. The place was pretty cool to say the least. How many places could anyone honestly say there were giant bubbles naturally floating out of the ground, the ground being gigantic mangrove tries. Luffy said it was pretty manly do to the feat of the trees.

Hachi, who the crew saved not too long ago, told something to everyone. It was quite vague, as well as threatening and dead serious. 'Whatever the world nobles do, ignore it. Even if they straight up murder someone, look the other way.'

That thought surely lingered with everyone everyone who was present to hear.


"Zoro. Since I'm on Zoro-watching-duty again, as it seems I always am, you will be coming along with me. After I am done with what I need to have done, I'll go with you to do what you need to. Capisce?" The two of you where on the ship, as well where Usopp, Sanji, and Franky. The others at this time where already gone.

Zoro gave off a sort of huff, being annoyed at your words. Though even with the annoyance he still listened, very reluctantly so. While Zoro was being re-looked at, after the incident with the flying fish rider gang, he received a lecture from Chopper to 'be more careful.' The lecture wasn't stern until he brushed off his injuries saying it was child's play, they certainly weren't. You where off the hook from a lecture as Zoro simply does as he wants more then half the time anyways. You still gained a punishment though. That being having to watch after the grown man, again. This made you wonder why you where always assigned to watch him. He didn't even list off many reasons but the point came across very clearly. Only a few on the crew would actually be a liable choice to watch him. The points being anywhere from Nami hitting him for something he did 'not quite up to her standards' to someone not being as watchful like Luffy and letting him get lost. He even mentioned some could simply get on his nerves, and though everyone does to some extent a few does more then others. Though Chopper had soon said something interesting after that...

Honestly he stresses least around you, (Y/N).

  At first, you denied it. Then you thought about it, he almost does. Around Usopp he was typically calm, and the long nosed boy did seem like he'd be bothersome though even then he sometimes got annoyed by him. Zoro getting aggravated by Chopper was on the rare side, though happens more often then some would assume. Everyone else he would growl and hiss at for doing something to his un-liking. For you though... He'd simply look the look the other way, maybe a few scoffs here and there but that's it. It certainly surprised you but the information may come in handy later, in the form of blackmail perhaps.

Zoro suddenly jumped off the side of the sunny, only for Usopp and Sanji to shout his way.

"Don't leave (Y/N)'s side!"

"Don't cause sweet (Y/N) trouble. You Here?!"

"Shout if you get lost! Don't trust your Instincts, only hers!"

The two kept shouting towards Zoro as well as they gave up soon after.

Sanji gave out a sigh, which sort of worried Usopp a little, though little not worries him.

   "Sanji is something wrong?" Usopp fully concerned asked Sanji.

   "No not really anything to concern with."

   "Okay then." With that Usopp dropped it.

   

  "Zoro do you remember the grove number the ship was docked on?" You asked Zoro while focusing on heading towards an area on a wild chase not knowing the archipelago at all, though still having better luck then Zoro ever would.

  "Eh? Yeah. It was one." Zoro responded in an uninterested tone. "Do you even know where we are going? I can take the lead you know."

  "No. Never."

"Within what path will one seek? For it could lead to joy or sorrow. Though one can go back even with one's footprints to forever stain that path and the one to follow."

[I don't even know what nonsense I write for the end of the chapters anymore.]
