A Child's Venture

3

[ LAND HO!!!!!!! ]

A week passed and Charlie has been helping them with chores in the ship.

It took a while for her to get used to the motion of the ship, she may or may not have barfed at least 3 times a day, she felt drained and lost a hefty amount of energy because of letting out her meals onto the sea.

Now that time has passed she has gotten used to the ship by adjusting herself to the movements and started to help around by cleaning the deck or help Killer do the dishes after meals.

Kidd would always treat her like she was invisible, which in Charlie's opinion think that it's great since she knew the man is capable of snapping her neck like a twig.

A side note, everyone is tall as fuck.

Charlie is like, around 5'0 and the rest of the crew are giants compared to her. It became a habit for Heat to pick the girl up and let her sit on his shoulder, or maybe just hold her in his arms while she messes around with his blue gorgeous locks.

Charlie grew attached to them as expected from a child. She went on long rants with wire, played with Heat's hair, follow Killer around or maybe some of the crew would teach her how to play poker.

She gained the ability to climb, which made her have the position to stay on the crow's nest and her duty to look out for ships or islands.

She loved it here, but she's afraid that Kidd might make a decision on dropping her off on some island or plan on throwing her overboard, just like how most pirates would do.

It was midday and Charlie watched the sea waves move in a smooth motion, admiring the view of the vast blue.

The crew did their usual duties, Killer was in the workshop with Kidd discussing about some things. Charlie was on duty, looking around and saw a small dot on the far ends of the sea.

She picked up her telescope and checked to see what it was, and-

«AN ISLAND!» Her eyes widen.

She immediately slid off the crow's nest and ran into the galley «HEAT! HEAT! ISLAND ISLAND ISLAND I SAW AN ISLAND UP NORTH AND WERE GETTING REALLYY CLOSE AND-»

"Woah woah slow down!" The bluenette ruffled her hair, chuckling softly at her excitement.

"I'll go tell Killer-san about it, good job."

She smiled widely at the praise, happy she was able to be great help for the crew, she was really eager to touch some land.

She squealed in excitement and left the galley, going on deck and climbed onto the skull of the Victoria Punk. She settled down and enjoyed the breeze, she felt herself being hyper again.

I wonder, when will I go home? Is there a way back? She pondered, lost in her thoughts as she looked up at the sky.

I don't want to admit but.. I guess I miss mom. How much time has gone by there? Is time different here and there?

"Oi, Charlie get down from there. I ain't helping you if you fall off." Mohican chuckled as he watched the girl get down on deck with a big smile now plastered on her face.
