Adventures in Little Garden:
-x-
"Aw, no snow," Luffy complained as he sat on the figurehead of the Going Merry a day later. They were still heading for Little Garden and the Straw Hat Pirates was anxiously awaiting the bizarre weather that they had experienced while heading to Whisky Peak.
"Snow, in this climate?" questioned Zoro who was lying against the railing nearby.
"Sure, why not?" Luffy replied. "It already happened once. You just missed it because you were asleep."
"It's not gonna snow here," Y/N bluntly told him as he sat back against the back railing of the front deck and stared up at the sky. "The ocean back there was a lot different. It was being affected by the magnetic fields from seven different islands. We're only dealing with the magnetic field coming from Little Garden. I've never been to Little Garden before, but I don't think it snows there."
"Aww," Luffy whined, "but snow's so awesome!"
"You've been to the Grand Line before, haven't you Mr. One Eye?" asked Vivi who was standing outside the galley but had heard Y/N's answer. She was wearing a light green button down blouse with black slanted stripes going down both sides.
"I've explored all the world's oceans," Y/N explained. "I was a member of two other pirate crews before this one. The first one, I spent a year exploring all the other oceans, and then the other one was mainly based in the New World. I went back to the East Blue and reunited with Luffy. He's my kid brother so I need to keep him from getting in too much trouble."
"Well at least one of you knows not to underestimate the Grand Line," Vivi commented.
"Hey!" Sanji called out as he exited the galley carrying a tray of glasses filled with a green drink, ice cubes, and a bendy straw, "Who wants to try my special drink?"
"Quack!" Carue agreed as he ran to the main deck followed by Usopp.
"Woohoo!" Luffy cheered as he and Y/N leapt the railing of the front deck followed closely by Zoro.
The male members of the Straw Hat Pirates and the Princess' duck gathered on the main deck and each took a glass of Sanji's special drink.
"Not bad Sanji, not bad," Y/N praised the cook as he sipped his drink and headed up the steps to the deck in front of the galley. He noticed that the Princess seemed to disapprove of the relaxed nature of the crew.
"Hey, do you guys wanna get out the fishing gear?" Luffy suggested.
"Fishing? Hell yeah, I'm in!" Zoro agreed.
"Sounds good to me," Usopp said. "I'll even make you one of my custom fishing rods. You'll love it."
"Quack!" said Carue who was having trouble with his bendy straw.
"No, no, it goes like this," Sanji corrected the duck as he guided the straw into the glass.
Slurp! Carue downed the entire glass in one gulp.
"Well, someone's sure thirty," Sanji commented as he slid another glass over to Carue. "Here, have another." Slurp! Carue quickly guzzled down the second glass. Sanji quickly replaced it with another glass which Carue drank down again. Slurp!
Slurp! Shishishishi!" Luffy and Usopp both laughed as they watched Carue continue to slurp down more glasses of Sanji's special drink. "Ahahahahaha!"
Vivi watched in shock as the Straw Hats continued to frolic on the deck, the only one not joining in was Y/N, who was causally leaning against the wall next to the galley door sipping his drink.
