You couldn't be more happier to drop these spoiled, entitled aristocrats off with Admiral Kizaru. Since he was an Admiral technically these people should've been on his ship a lot sooner, but he just couldn't be bothered about it, until Garp got in his face about it. Which is why Garp made sure to drop them off with him before we docked at our next destination.
You docked at a rather large port town with a rather large Marine town along with it. The locals and Marines co-mingled and a lot them seemed to be married with families. You liked seeing kids. Especially kids who weren't rich and spoiled. You were watching them from the railing and smiling as they waved at you welcoming you to their home.
"Finally those jerks are gone!" You heard the familiar voice of Grount behind you, and removed your smile from your face before turning to him. "Hey you look different. Relaxed almost."
He commented on your appearance. You had your hair in a lose pony tail, loosely fitted black pants, and a simple white t-shirt.
"I'm off duty once we dock, and I want to explore the island." You simply stated.
"Oh yeah? Have lunch with me before then yeah?" You were about to protest but you didn't you simply followed him and went to the canteen to eat. Sure enough the atmosphere was a lot better than it had been when the cruise goers were here. No one even paid attention to you two coming in. Something you were grateful for.
"Yo Grount! Y/N!" You saw Helmeppo waving you both over they'd grabbed their share of food and you sat down, across from Grount and Helmeppo right next to Captain Koby. Who seemed to be full of nervous energy for some reason. Had been since that night he'd fallen asleep in your bed. You chalked it up to him being embarrassed for being so tired that he'd not gone to his own room. You hadn't minded though, when he slept next to you, your nightmares weren't as scary.
"So Koby I heard you're going to the festival this island has going on in a few days. You going with someone?"
"Oh um, I think so." That got both other boys to stop eating and just stare at their friend.
"Woah woah, hang on you have a date?" The stupid canary was talking way too loud. It wasn't even a date, you were just fulfilling a promise. You took a sip of your water and just stayed quiet.
"I mean, I don't really think it's a date, and well lets just say I did something I shouldn't have and now, I'm too nervous to see if she still is willing to go with me."
"Who is she?" Grount asked with a mouth full of food.
"She-" he looked up for the first time that you'd sat down. When he did he fell over in his seat and spilled his drink all over himself. "Y Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y/N-San?"
You nodded your head to him. "Hello Captain Koby."
"W w-w-w-w-when did you get here?"
"Just now with Grount."
He blushed then and looked down at the floor. He seemed like he'd rather get eaten by a Sea King instead of being where he currently was. You decided to leave if only so he could feel better about sitting at the table.
"And Captain Koby I do intend to keep my promise and go with you to the festival since I didn't go with you for your birthday. I will meet you in three days at the main gate. I think I'll go have lunch on the island. Good bye." And just like that you left, as you walked out you heard Grount yell.
"Holy shit! What was that?" Causing another involuntary smirk to make it past your lips.
-Day Before the Festival-
<One a Beach opposite of the port>
"Captain, Captain everything is ready for tomorrow night!"
"Good job. We move during the festival."
"Aye aye Captain."
