Marineford Town
Inside a medium-sized house
Slowly opening my eyes, I couldn't help but smile as I turned on my bed, feeling the soft, somewhat cold sheets on my skin. "It's been a while since I've slept on a decent bed..." I muttered to no one in particular, stretching my arms and yawning as I reluctantly removed myself from the comfortable bed.&nb...

'Well... that was boring...' I mused as I followed Sengoku and Garp back to the fleet admiral's office. The meeting took four hours to conclude, and the participants spent a significant portion of that time talking about boring events, most of which I had zero interest in.
Still, I couldn't help but perk up my ears when they talked about multiple groups of people...

"It can't be helped... after all, you have yet to get your uniform and official rank," Bogard said as he walked up to me. "You'll fit right...

The blow instantly woke Garp up, and he paused momentarily to process the situation. "Ah... looks like I fell asleep," The vice admiral remarked with a light chuckle as he rubbed the back of his neck, seemingly uncaring of the wound on hi...

East End
"I see you're working hard already..." I remarked, smiling and ignoring the strange looks the construction workers and engineers gave me as I approached Barbara Gordon.

2023-04-20 04:13:09 +0000 UTC View PostTurning away from the rapidly shrinking port of Foosah Village, I raised an eyebrow and turned to Bogard, who was standing beside me on the quarter deck. "You still haven't told me why we're in such a hurry...? I thought we'd stay for a week at least..." I inquired.
It's been two days since we first arrived on the island. Though my time here was hectic, it was still fun, ...

"You two can go ahead and keep it all..." Cedric replied after taking a quick look at the chest and estimating its contents to be around three hundred thousand in cash and two hundred thousand in valuables....

"Dadan and her people might be bandits, but they're a good bunch..." He added, halting and smiling as he spotted a decently large, dilapidated shack.
It was a humble dwelling made of wooden planks with a thatched roof, giving it a rustic and rundown...

"So this is Dawn Island..."I muttered, standing at the ship's brow as I looked at the island on the horizon before me, wondering how an island could look so contradictory.
From this angle, the island seemed divided into three parts, the capital, with its tall buildings and busy ports, the Grey Terminal, which looked to be nothing m...

'For fuck's sake...' I couldn't help but rub my shoulder, feeling sore from all the smacks Vice Admiral Garp gave me on the back as he praised me for my good manners and how smart I was for wanting to join the Marines rather than become a pirate.
