Today is a nice day, we got to visit a new lively island and discover a new culture and new traditions. Cora has had a lot of inspiration and got to paint two boards those two weeks. Kuina was still searching for her sword soulmate and I got to see my wanted picture. It was the one that I told Thomas to take and the bounty was... 50 000 000berries. Pretty good for a starter but still pretty low in my opinion.

We met a lot of people and made friends (and ennemies obvi). Our stay there was peaceful, none of the city high-standing people were annoying or a threat to the citizens. So there is nothing much to talk about.

We depart, and we (as always) struggle a lot considering the fact that we do not have any proper navigator. So our new task is to search for someone worthy of my hiring!

We're basically just going around in the ocean, not even aware how the fuck we use a log pose or even a compass... we just go with the flow.

And fate brought us to this island filled with volcanos and seemingly empty of any living creature.
-Captain! There is something moving in that island.

-a living creature?! Let me see!

And then I see, a huge piece of the island moving.

-what if it was a human that slashed that piece of land.. I NEED THEM TO JOIN MY CREW.

-what are you saying, what if they are hostile toward- and she's already gone. (Cora)

I get out of my baby Halo and go fly over there. I look for them planing on the sky for about 20min,Cora and Kuina could were parking the submarine and joined me about 10min after I started flying. After a few more minutes, I wanted to give up.

-I didn't find a single soul! Where is that damn person?!

-I think we might've been wrong, and that this whole thing was just a natural process. (Cora)

-bro what's natural in that?

-Uhm...

Then, I feel a daze on us. I take out my wings and propulse myself towards what I thought was someone. But my sixth sense told me to duck down. I did so and avoided a deadly slash, that instead of cutting me, cut the volcano/mountain behind me. I get up, protecting my self with my wings, but then I hear a deep voice behind me.

-not many would have avoided my deadly slash, impressive.

He then starts chasing me around, trying to slash me in half. I barely could avoid them. He suddenly he says.

-Very impressive... who are you really? And who's the Marine teaching you things.

-Marine? Bro, I'm a pirate.

-really? Your neat appearance ressembles more that of a Marine.

-oh let me just.

I land on the ground and fake being drunk.

-HoW dArE yOu LoOk aT mE YoU trAsH. I'm gOnNa KiLL YoU!

He looks at me for a few seconds then burst out laughing.

-Ahahaha! You're a quite funny kid.

-are you hostile towards us now?

-more or less, it depends on how you act with me.

-yeah it's not like you just tried to kill me.

I look at him properly and see an old black man with short white hair and a sexy beard. He was wearing some kind of rock clothes? (Probably because there is nothing but rocks in this place)

-what's your name grandpa?

-i'm not that old.

-really? How old are you?

-I'm only 28.

-you're probably lying, there is no way you are 28.

-I don't lie.

-... whatever, just tell me what's your name. I'm Hertha.

-My name is Ryujuro Okusen.

-your name is as cool as you, how about you join my crew? This island seems boring.

-I..

-yes?

-no.

-uhm.. what's your goal?

-going back to my motherland.

-And you think that it's by sitting in this useless island that you're going to return back?

-... I just don't want to be associated with pirates.

-ow c'mon! Don't be like that! It'll be fun!

-fun? To be wanted by the Marine?

-you can wear a mask and none would recognize you.

-ugh.

-yes?

-i'm coming.

-YESSS! KUINA! CORA! WE HAVE A NEWCOMER!

I said that, walking over the island, searching for my two friends. I see them playing some cards game on the floor.

-what the hell are you two doing here while I fight a monster?

-playing card games.

-and you're proud of it?

-well, I won three times.

-that's because kuina isn't yet used to playing it. Once she gets it she would destroy you.

-for now, i'm the one destroying her.

-I won. (Kuina)

-huh? (Cora)

-that's my girl!

-no no no no there is now way..2

-yeah yeah yeah my girl won! Cheh. Anyways, we have a new companion!

-a new companion? Who?

-the monster I fought.

-huh?

-yep. I'll go bring him.

I fly towards the guy that didn't move an inch.

-I told you it'll be fun so stop being so nonchalant!

-let's just go.

I take his hand and fly with him to my submarine.

-Both of you! bring your asses here!

-yeah yeah..

I told Cora to make him visit the place, while I start the engine. Kuina was staring holes in my back.

-uhm.. Kui-chii? What's up?

-let's play.

She take out a pack of cards.

-if that is what you want, then yes. Wait for me at the kitchen's table.

After activating the automatic mode, I went to play cards with her. And after a few games (that I won) I invite Cora and Ryujuro in. I left to prepare Ryujuro's room down the kitchen's ladder.
