The Heart Of A Fairy Tail Pirate (Zoro x Oc)

⫷⫸ Chapter 8 ⫷⫸

(Unedited) As always, I haven't proof read this chapter!

Also, do you guys prefer first or third person? I might switch between the two if I feel like it and you guys don't mind, otherwise, I'll stick with one or the other.

Tired, sore and wanting to leave this village, Estrada's patience thin, very thin. So with a well practiced glare that even Erza would be proud of but slightly intimidated by, the three dumbasses shrieked and ran away. "Good riddance."

Nami stared at the woman while Luffy laughed and started climbing into their boat, unceremoniously dropping the swordsman as he did so. "Okay, let's go!"

"I'm gonna take a nap, wake me up if it's important." Estra commented, curling up and leaning against her semi-unconscious best friend. She fell asleep as the mayor's voice rang out, thanking them for their help.

Now:

It wasn't until the next day that Estrada woke from her long slumber, half of her body lying on Zoro's stomach as he watched the clouds. The mage sat up and checked her injuries to see that they were healing well, scabbing over once more. 

Zoro looked over as he felt her moving, a teasing smirk playing on his lips. "Enjoy using me as a pillow?"

"With all that muscle, it was hardly comfortable." She quipped back, a matching smirk dancing on across her face. 

"We need to plan things more." Nami voiced, drawing everyone's attention to herself.

"What do you mean?" Luffy asked, looking over at the woman.

"Are we going to the Grand Line like this?"

"Oh, that's right! Although we have plenty of fruits, we don't have any meat on this ship!" Luffy smiled, a hand on his fixed straw hat. 

"Luffy, I don't think Nami was talking about food." Estrada piped up from her seat beside Zoro. 

The said man spoke up after the mage, "And we don't have any sake to drink either. How boring."

"Though some alcohol would be good, again, I don't think that's what Nami was talking about." Estra sweat-dropped, questioning her taste in friends, seeing as there seems to be a reoccurring theme with her choices... blatant ignorance to basic survival, A.K.A stupidity.

"Let's not worry about the problem of food and drink first!" The Navigator snapped, a tick pulsing on her forehead. "The place we're going, the Grand Line is the most dangerous place in the world. Every pirate in this world wishes to get the treasure there, so we need to get a better ship first!"

Nodding her head, Estrada added to the list of things they need before they set off for the Grand Line, "I may not know much about being a pirate, but we're also short on crew members and this ship doesn't have any equipment. No matter what we might think, we can't be safe with what we have and I can't be the only one who sees that."

"Oh!" Luffy chimes, turning towards the rest of the crew from his seat at the front of the boat, "What do we do then?"

Estra looked towards Nami, hoping she would fill that information in since the mage knew next to nothing about sailing. "We have to prepare first, and plan for the journeys ahead. There's a village due north. We should go there before we head anywhere else. First thing to do when we get there is look for a better ship."
