𝐢𝐢𝐢. The Fourth Division Commander, Thatch

A pirate, huh? Maybe that wouldnʼt be so bad. Were the last thoughts in your head before you fell into a deep slumber. After a while, you woke up from the sudden pain of your stomache. It growled loudly, indicating that youʼre hungry.

"If you need anything, donʼt be afraid to ask the other members." You remembered Izoʼs last words to you. The thought of asking the huge members and the captain of this pirate crew for food was already giving you goosebumps. Theyʼre giants. You thought. You felt another growl from your stomache. You knew that you could just summon food from your previous world, but you also knew that all the food that was stocked up in the grocery store were already out of date. You had enough of those stomachaches and promised yourself to hunt and find your own food from your new world.

You stood up from your bed and opened the door from your room and went outside, sneaking through the hallways. As you look to your back and to your sides, you didnʼt notice the man that stood infront of you, watching you sneak. You accidentally bumped your small body against his long legs, causing you to fall on your bum. You groaned in pain and looked up at the tall man.

It was the same pom-pom man you saw earlier. He chuckled and held his hand out for you. You took it hesitantly and he helped you stand up from your spot effortlessly. Another growl from your stomache echoed through the hallways, causing Thatch to laugh. "Letʼs go to the kitchen. Iʼll make you some snacks." He smiled and held your hand, guiding you to the Moby Dickʼs huge kitchen.

He sat you on the stool and started making food. You waited patiently, watching the cookʼs hand chop the ingredients and stir something inside the pot. After a while, he served you a mouth-watering ramen. You thanked Thatch and started to dig in. The smell of the ramen had spread throughout the ship, attracting some of the crew members. They all went to the kitchen and found you with the shipʼs cook. Luckily, Thatch knew that they would come for it and had cooked a lot. He served the ramen to them with the help of his division members.

"Thank you for the food!" They all exclaimed, putting their hands together and started to dig in. You laughed at the other crew members especially at the certain fire user who would eventually sleep while eating. The others blushed, as this is their first time seeing you laugh and smile. They laughed along with you watching Aceʼs face covered with the ramenʼs soup.

Theyʼre nice. You thought.

Izo was still sitting beside you, wiping your face from time to time as you would also get messy. After eating, they thanked Thatch once again and head out to do their assigned tasks. Izo had left you with Thatch as he was called by the captain.

"Do you wanna go back to your room?" Thatch asked once everyone was gone. You wanted to get to know the others, especially the pineapple-man that escorted you on the ship. You shook your head no. "I see. Letʼs look around the ship then." He smiled and took your hand. The both of you walked around the ship, also greeting the other members you passed by. The both of you were sitting on a corner enjoying the peaceful silence and the waves that the ocean created.

The silence broke when a crew member from the crowʼs nest, shouted. "An island! Weʼre approaching an island!"
