One Piece E- Reta

Chapter three:

A/N: Hey! I apologize for not updating in a while. i probably should have warned you guys that I would be going away for a while. that's on me. So, the reason I haven't updated in a while is because I've been very busy in another state and haven't had access to Internet for five months. I'm going to update chapter three right now and I'll try to do chapter four, but it might be a while before you guys more chapters as I will be returning back to Oklahoma in 2 days. so, if i don't update, then I'm on hiatus! thank you for understanding!

[Marco's POV]

I had just about left my room when a womans voice comes from my laptop, regarding a letter in my inbox. quickly making my way over, I opened my laptop and scanned over the reply. I had about another ten minutes before Perona shows up at my front door to drag me on another one of her absurd ghost hunts. 

Marco, 

Hello! It's a pleasure to meet you! My name is Portgas D. Ace and just like you, I have no idea what to say! this is actually my very first time using this site. my brothers' friends insisted that i needed to meet someone, that I was lonely. I mean, they're not entirely wrong.  I had just turned 23 today. I also live in Japan, but I was born in Spain. I currently work as a firefighter and I have no intention of requesting a new E-Reta. you seem interesting. Im assuming your an artist? The painter kind or the music kind? you mentioned an art studio and either sounds cool. well, this was fun. I hope to hear from you again! or should I say, read from you again! haha

Smiling, I quickly typed up a response and hit the sent button just as Perona kicked my door down. "Marcoooo! time to hunt some ghosties and demons~!" She says cheerfully, skipping across the room towards me. she stops behind me and peers at my computer screen. "E-Reta? no way, your finally meeting someone?" she questioned, raising a brow. "Yeah, Ace seems alright." I swiveled around in my chair to look at the pink haired girl.

Perona is a paranormal investigator and her channel has quite the amount of subscribers. she goes around to peoples houses and investigates. then she tells them whats haunting them and how to get rid of it. I think her job is kind of strange, but who am I to tell her what to do? besides, she likes doing it. I have no right to judge her. 

"Its about damn time!" she says, crossing her arms and smiles. I sigh. of course she'd be happy about me talking to someone. she then grabbed my wrist and pulled me up from my desk chair. she drags me down the stairs and out of my house, "come on Mr Pineaaple! we have some ghosts to talk too!" she says. 

--------------------------------------------------

"There are a lot of scary places in Japan" Perona starts, entering the building. "But, none are as scary as the Hotel Hotel Hotel" I crossed my arms and raised a brow. "What kind of fucking name is Hotel Hotel Hotel, yoi?!" I shout, following Perona into the Hotel, along with her friend Roronora Zoro and my friend, Bonnie. "and where the fuck are we?!" I continued, looking around the abandoned Hotel. it looked as if it would collapse at any given moment. 

"It has a very VERY dark history" she says, turnin around to look straight at me, Bonnie, and Zoro. Zoro looked around with a raised brow. He tried to wander off but I grabbed his arm. I was not going to risk that man getting lost in a place like this. "We will be exploring Hotel Hotel Hotel!" "Why?" Bonnie asked, when Zoro stopped trying to escape my grip. Perona ignored her and turns to a man who is approaching us. 

He gives very creepy vibes. "Who the hell is this guy?" Zoro says, crossing his arms. "Todd," Perona says, smiling. The man smiles back at her and holds out his hand. "I don't shake hands."
