"Takaaaa! Where are you? Let's eat, already!" Gaimon's voice had resounded through the forest. The pair had made a habit of eating together at the camp every day since their meeting. That was only cut short due to Gaimon's own false conclusions.


"Zoro! C'mon we've got food ready! Hurry up, or there'll be nothing left!" Nami shouted out into the forest hoping to reach the two outcasts. A bitter look on her face all the while.


"Food! Food! Zoro, hurry!" Luffy maintained the same lackadaisical attitude as usual.


Meanwhile Usopp simply looked around from the top of a tree to parse through the dense forestry.


"Damn. Can't see much even up here."

"...-OOOROOO! FOOOOD!"


I know that voice anywhere, seriously where did he develop that foghorn of a mouth?


"Seems they're looking for you."


"...Yeah..." Turning back towards the noise I slowly walk in its direction.


"...You coming?" As much as I'd prefer he didn't, probably best to keep him in sight at least.


"...That isn't the direction of the noise."


What now?


"It clearly came from that direction, though." 


"...You'll get lost in that forest if you walk around randomly, you know?"


"Pfft. Whatever you say, no way I'm getting lost. See ya." Backing into the forest and walking back in the direction of that shout.

Not even 5 minutes later Zoro came right back out of the forest where he had entered and came face to face with me once again.


"Hey, you following me or something?" Is this guy stupid?


"...This is the same place we just fought..."


"...So it is..."


"Got lost already?"


That was shockingly quick, almost a talent.


"No, no. Just checking if you changed your mind on the sword!"


"No. I didn't."


"...Damnit. Sure you aren't coming with? Wouldn't want the sword getting lost now after all."
