"HOW MANY OF THOSE did you collect, Shachi?"

"HOW MANY OF THOSE did you collect, Shachi?"

Upon hearing the question of his captain, Shachi looked into his bag and counted the samples of the flowers he had stored in there.

"Uhm, twenty-six."

Law nodded and wrote the number down in his notebook.

"What about you, Peng?" he asked then without looking up from the paper.

"Thirty." his crewmember answered and after writing that down as well, Law closed the little book and put it into his backpack.

"Alright, that should be enough for now. Let's head back to the ship."

Little spots of sunlight fell through the holes in the ceiling of leaves and enlightened the floor the pirates walked on.

Even though the air inside the jungle was moist and warm, it wasn't stiff thanks to the breeze coming from the sea.
The climate and the constant sunshine made it possible for dozens of unexplored plants and flowers to flourish on the island and Law had decided to use their visit as good as possible to collect some herbs and plants for new mixtures of medicine.

Shachi and Penguin had been all too happy to accompany him during his little expedition, probably because they had hoped to see some of the Kuja pirates during a hunting session.

But to their disappointment - which Law considered as luck - , they had only met wild animals instead of female warriors.

As he looked around a little bit and listened to the conversation of his two crewmates, Law suddenly noticed a familiar lighting and familiar trees around him.
It was the lighting he had walked on a week before, when he had been searching for Luffy and had eventually found him on the flower field.

He looked down onto the soft ground, yet didn't see any footprints.

Still, he stopped walking and then loudly called for Shachi and Penguin, who immediately looked over their shoulders and waited.

"Go ahead, I think I'll look for some more plants."
They nodded and told him to be careful as they continued their way out of the forest, leaving Law alone with the sounds of the wild.

The young surgeon looked to the ground and searched for footsteps, yet still didn't find any that matched the strawhat's sandals.
So he just decided to search for the spot he had found him at last time.

It took him a little while, but eventually, he found the free passage between the two trees and saw the field with flowers right in front of him.
Before he was able to step into it, he heard a voice singing, proving him that it had been a good idea to search at this place.
