Piles on piles of sweet strawberry cake. Scooping up handfuls of whipped cream into her mouth, jumping down on the hill of sugar.
She woke up to the unpleasant sensation of overnight spit in her mouth. She rolled over and yawned. Luffy's bug-like eyes were staring right down at her, the surprise making her jump.
"Luffy!!"
"Hi.. ube-kid made eggs!"
"Chiyo?"
She rubs her eyes, sitting up. The strawhat wearing nods and runs downstairs, giving Rira the time to change into her outfit, white long sleeved undershirt, pink Doskoi Panda brand t-shirt on top and white skirt. She quickly skips down the stairs, looking at the pigtailed child cooking happily on her step stool. It was so precious to her. The eggs looked awful though, and the Strawhat crew looked super apprehensive. But someone was missing.
Where's Nami?
"Ahem— is Nami in the bathroom or something..?"
The brunette asks, casually pointing it out. The hat adorned's eyes visibly darkened, and Usopp grabbed his shoulder firmly to keep him in his seat.
"Nami left and took the Merry."
"She left...?"
She tilted her head, looking at Luffy whose gaze said he wanted nothing more than to swim out to sea to find her himself.
"I'm.. I'm sorry, Strawhat."
"Give it up, Captain. She's long gone."
The green haired commented, tension in the air grew much thicker once more.
"Nami wouldn't just leave."
Luffy said, refusing to believe his navigator's betrayal. Chiyo walks to the table with glossy eyes, setting the plate of sad looking eggs.
"H-here's breakfast..."
The mood settles down just a bit, everyone staring at the concoction. Sanji is the first to get a serving, eating his plate with a blank expression.
"Delicious. Good job, Chiyo."
He smiles, and Chiyo grins excitedly.
"Really?!"
"Really. The eggshells add extra texture."
He chuckles, forcing himself to swallow. The brunette gets herself a plate too, shoveling it into her mouth to get it over with. She gulps it down, gagging a bit in her mouth.
"Yum... heheh..."
"Yay!!"
Chiyo dances around, proud of herself.
"Yup.. the burnt flavor makes it unique..."
Kana enters the room, diligence in her step as ever. She looks down at Luffy, unrolling a map and spreading it on the table.
"Strawhats, this is the East Blue. By now, Navigator couldn't be too far."
"So where is she?!"
Luffy loudly asks, messily taking a bite of his egg, seemingly unaware of the poor cooking.
"Calm yourself down, Strawhat. Nami should be somewhere in this radius."
