Continued (Filler)

Everything after this is filler, doesn't count, and doesn't have to be read, but is there for enjoyment if necessary, leave in the comments whether i should continue through Punk Hazard and drop the filler, or finish the filler arc and drop the story 🙏

3rd person pov:

At last, the crew re-emerged from beneath the ocean, all subconsciously sighing breaths of relief, being away from the place that caused them so much stress and/or pain. Nami looked once again at her log pose, seeing that one of the needles wasn't moving at all. Her long, orange hair flowed smoothly down her back, with a few strands falling onto and over her petite shoulders.

"Luffy! I think we should choose this one. The needle is hardly moving at all, so it should be relatively calm, (a/n: hmmm) and it would give us a chance to rest after that stressful ordeal. PLEAAASE let's go to this one." Nami begged Luffy, yanking him by his shoulders and shaking him.

He gritted his teeth. "No! We need to go to that one" he groaned, gesturing towards the ball in the middle of the log pose, whose needle was shaking violently in every direction. "It will have a better adventure."

"LUFFY WE ALL ALMOST DIED! Just let me choose where we go. JUST THIS ONCE! PLEASE!" Nami pleaded.

Usopp hopped in between them. "I SECOND THAT OPINION LET NAMI CHOOSE!"

"Me three!" Chopper exclaimed.

Hancock and Robin pov:

Hancock sat in a beach chair, sunbathing beside Robin, sitting up, along with the other brunette beauty, hearing the conflict among the 4 crewmates. Hancock had grown close to the other members of the Strawhat crew without realizing it and enjoyed spending her free time with them.

"Hmm, what do you think this could be about? They are being quite loud, and I do suppose there is a reason." Robin asked the snake empress, removing her glasses from her smooth, slender nose.

"I was thinking the same thing. Do you think we should go see what the issue is?" She asked, with a tone of genuine concern.

Robin giggled. "No, I think we should leave them to it. They've resolved much more intense disagreements before. This one should solve itself quickly."

"Ahh. Then shall we return to our basking?"

"Fufufu, sure." Robin said, leaning back. She accidentally dropped her drink while doing so, and the glass fell and shattered on an unsuspecting and sleeping Zoro waking him.

"huh wai-wha. What the hell?" He said, suddenly feeling the tangy alcohol trickle down his intense face. He looked up at Robin, who struggled to stifle a mischievous giggle.

"Robin what the hell!" He yelled, wiping his brow to remove some of the drink. She couldn't hold it back anymore, she giggled. He thought for a minute, before deciding that it was indeed funny. And laughing as well.

"Damn you really drink this stuff? It's pretty strong, but its sweet at the same time, it's unique. Where'd you get this?"

"Actually, Hancock requested it from Sanji, and recommended I try it. She is royalty after all, so I do suppose it makes sense you drink something so fine" She explained, turning around to face the Pirate Empress. "Right Hanco-" she paused. Hancock was gone.

"Oh the Pirate Empress, she's uh... quite a unique one." He started. "When she goes on a tirade, even I wouldn't want to be in her path, but Luffy's able to calm her as if it's nothing. It really goes to show how special our captain is, heheh."

"Yes, I've seen her angry, she's quite powerful, perhaps even more powerful than the legends stated."

"Legends? You mean you extensively researched her?"

"Well of course, she was one of the seven warlords, it's only smart to keep tabs on the more infamous pirates at all times. It helps to know what to expect and make it easier to survive if you are to encounter them."

"Hmm, I guess you're right. I'm not as cautious or smart as you, but I can see how that would be beneficial."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah. Wanna know what else would be beneficial?"

"What's that?"

"A towel."

"A towel?"

"Did you forget how I woke up in the first place?" He asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

She raised her eyebrows. "Oh, my. I'm so sorry. I'll go get you a towel." She stuttered, a light blush on her face.

Luffy and others pov:

"Uggh, fine. We'll go to the island with the not moving needle." He groaned, Chopper, Nami, and Usopp all leaped for joy, before holding hands and dancing. Hancock hugged him from behind, wrapping her gentle arms around his waist.

"As long as you're safe, darling." She mumbled. He smiled, stretching his arms behind his back and hugging her back.

"SET SAIL TO SAFE HAVEN ISLAND! YAHOOO!" Nami cheered, a large smile on her face. Usopp and Chopper still danced behind her in the background. Seeing everyone happy made Luffy smile, so he quickly got over his grief of not choosing the crazy needle.

Franky took hold of the helm, and began steering the ship as Nami commanded.

Some time later...

At last the Sunny arrived at the island, which appeared to be a giant jungle island... mountainous trees, larger than anything any of them had ever seen, towered over the Sunny.

"Damn, I get I could make a whole fleet of ships with just one of these things." Franky said, slight smirk on his face. "And there should be plenty of good wood to use as repair materials for the Sunny in case we get in a sticky situation."

"YEAAAH! ADVENTUREEE!" Luffy cheered, hoping off of the docked ship and running into the vast jungle.

"Damnit Luffy," Nami groaned, facepalming as she realized that even a peaceful island such as this was going to devolve into chaos with their sporadic and idiotic captain. "Well, I guess we've got no choice. Everyone go after Luffy." She said, giving everyone the supplies they would need for their journey.

"I guess it really is time for adventure. This should be fun... It always is." Robin said with a feminine giggle.
