The sun shines brightly over the clear blue sea with a flock of seagulls flying over a lone ship sailing to a nearby island. In the front of the ship stands a person looking through a telescope, presumably looking at the said nearby island.

"And there it is, Loguetown."

A tall and tan-skinned male with medium length beige hair that have many white dots and smaller black dots in the center of each white dot scattered around the hair looks through his telescope. Seeing through it was the silhouette of the town where Gold Roger was executed. It took a long time, but he was finally here. He lowers his telescope that reveals his left gold eye and right silver eye, and enters his private chambers from climbing down a ladder.

Looking at a map from his table, a compass and a newly acquired log pose sits neatly next to the map. He opens a drawer from the table and takes out his trusty notebook with a title that reads out "Kuwagata Kagami's planner notebook" and starts writing.

"Ok, before I take a little break and have some fun, I need to get food and supplies, after that I need to buy some herbs and medicine, and then buy some ship parts in case my ship gets damaged,"  Kawagata whispers to himself while writing before closing his notebook.

"Alright! Then it's settled."

Kuwagata starts to climb back up the ladder, until he remembered an important item he almost forgot to bring with him. On a corner at the end of his room, a red "bo-staff" with vantablack rings around and two golden kanji symbols that spell out "beetle" in the center of the staff stands there, leaning the wall. Kuwagata picks up the staff and gives it a twirl before placing it on the strap wrapped around his back from behind. "Almost forgot about you."

Kuwagata chuckles to himself a little and docks his ship.

Kuwagata walks through the massive yet crowded and busy streets. In a way, it kind of reminded him of his own hometown. Which might have given him some nostalgia. "After almost a year and a half worth of training, it's good to see actual people again, Now, where to start on my shopping..."   

Kuwagata looks around to find the food, medicine and supply markets. He spots a nearby food market. "Well there's my first objective."

    ***

Kuwagata carries a bunch of big bags with him. The fact that he was carrying the bags with ease gave him some shocked looks from the crowd.

"What kind of monster is this guy?" A guy in the crowd says, a bit frightened.

"Wow, he's so strong," A woman in the crowd sighs dreamily at him.

"That's like over a ton at least that he's carrying!"

"Am I the only one who notices how unique his hair looks?"

Kuwagata ignores them all and walks into a bar called "The Milk Bar".

***

Inside the bar were a bunch of loud and drunk pirates laughing and drinking to their heart's content. Some of them were singing and/or dancing stupidly to the music. Behind the counter of the bar, stood a gray-haired middle-aged bartender lady wiping a beer glass with a towel, watching the pirates as they got wasted for whatever celebration they were having.

Kuwagata opens the doors and everything goes silent when he enters the bar. The once happy cheers of the drunken men were replaced with judgemental glares and annoyed stares. Kuwagata, like last time, ignores them and walks up to the bar counter where the women stood and carefully places his bags beside him.

"Oooh, a new face. Welcome to our humble abode, the Milk Bar, what can I get for you?"

Her eyes widen a bit when she sees Kuwagata's face, it looks a lot like him.
