Unexpected Reunion

Updated + Edited

==========================

"Home?"

"Home" Leo smiled at everyone.

"Home where those closest to your hearts awaits your arrival" He said with a smile so bright.

==========================

Everyone quietly followed Leo and Ace as they led them through a jungle path. Having left the sandy beach behind.

The jungle was thick, surrounded by trees tall enough it hovered over them, giving them shade from the raging sun.

They walked through a gobble stone path. It was well worn and decorated beautifully with stone. The pathways was big enough that it wasn't too cramped but small enough they couldn't see through the trees to what's in front of them.

The trees surrounding them were unusual and beautiful, unlike any they've seen in the Grand Line or anywhere else in the world. Different coloured leaves, unusually shaped fruits, weird looking branches, and plants that moved too. They weren't shocked by it, this is the New World, so anything is possible.

"Zoro-san, wrong way-" Leo started to say but sighed as he noticed Zoro wasn't listening.

"Oi-! Stupid Marimo!" Sanji grumbled in annoyance, grabbing Zoro by the collar to get him back on the right track.

Zoro grumbled in protest but didn't fight Sanji for once. But not even 2 minutes later he started to wander to the wrong direction again.

"Shishishi~ Zoro's an idiot" Luffy chuckled, watching his first mates struggles.

"Cein Flur" Robin used her devil fruit to steer Zoro into the right path again.

"Oi-" Zoro started to complain but Nami walked upto him with Luffy by her side. Luffy looked at her confused and tilted his head.

"Nami?" He asked confused. Nami took his hand and wrapped the rubbery limb around Zoro's torso like a leash just to make sure he wouldn't get lost.

"Now you won't get lost again" Nami concluded smiling.

"Oi- I'm not a dog!" Zoro protested lightly embarrassed. And everyone chuckled at him.

The others either watched the commotion or ignored them and indulged in their own conversations, observing their unusual surroundings.

They were all walking in their own separate groups, depending on who they want to speak to.

Luffy, Marco and Sabo however, were just lingering around Ace, conversing with their dead brother. Just basking in the moments with him.

"I'm surprised Marimo was able to follow you until now" Sanji commented as he blew out a smoke.

"HUH?! What did you say Curly-brows?!" Zoro insulted Sanji. And they broke out into a fight..... again......

Luffy laughed at the scene but didn't comment on it much. Everyone there just ignored the twos banter.

Small critters also roamed around here and there. Adorable looking fluffy insects that looked like fur balls, ranging in different colours, to scary animals covered in spike and slime and what not. They kept coming out of the bushes and going back in once they saw the group. They ranged from sizes; with some being small as a little bug and to others being the size of a normal house cat.
