Saphira POV:

I was still standing at the railing, looking at the dragon. It wasn't long when the others joined me, obviously having trouble finding this island. Luffy jumped over the railing to join the dragon on the wooden 'raft'. ''Oi, grandpa dragon, where is the island?'' Luffy sounded frustrated when he asked the dragon. I lifted a brow at this idiotic boy, also I didn't even notice the dragons' age. It's obvious now, now that I look at him closely. He has wings but wasn't flying; he also seems tired all the time, that's why he sleeps so much. And of course, his bald head. Just like a grandpa. 'I should start paying more attention to small details.' I sweat dropped at my own thoughts, 'Or the obvious.' Man, I suck at looking for important details, even when they are right in front of me.

''Looks like he's dozed off again.'' Luffy announced when the dragon closed his eyes again. We sweat dropped at that. ''Hey everybody, lunch is ready!'' The little girl announced as she made her way up the stairs. I cringed at the thought of eating her food again, the others seems to have remembered that nightmare too. Usopp got excited when he saw Sanji behind the girl, ''Oh Sanji, you made the food today, right?'' This obviously annoyed the little girl. She harshly stepped on Usopp's foot. I snorted at that, but quickly slapped a hand over my mouth when Usopp gave me a look. ''Ryuuji, eat up!'' The girl held up the pot of food she was carrying. 'Poor dragon'. I cringed at the thought, but didn't stop the little girl, unless I want her stepping on my toes too. Not like I was gonna stand for it, I would definitely fight her back. Its one thing I learned from my younger siblings, if you leave them to continuesly hurt you and let them use their age as an excuse, they won't stop doing it.

In Luffy's excitement for food, he carelessly grabbed the hot pot out the little girl's hands. Realizing too late that the pot is hot, he shouted out in pain and let the pot go mid air. The pot and food landed right on top of the dragons bald head. It took a while for the dragon to notice the burning sensation on his head; his reaction wasn't really fast. In concern for the dragon, the little girl used the rope to slide down to the wooden 'raft'. The little girl quickly cleaned the dragon's head of the pot and food, continuously asking if he's okay. The dragon seemed to be in a daze as the little girl cared for him. Sanji and Usopp were arguing about the wasted food.

I was staring at the way Luffy was carrying the still hot pot, he was using his sandals as oven mittens. The little girl and Luffy were talking about something, the dragon didn't seem hurt luckily. ''We've got it!'' The little girl announced, ''Lost island is east of Gunken island!'' Luffy said right after her. The hit from the pot seemed to have helped the dragon remember where the nest is. Nami quickly got to work, Usopp right behind her. The ship changed course and is heading back to Gunken island. Sanji went back to the kitchen to make everyone lunch. I followed behind him, wanting to help. Or more specifically, wanting the food to get done quickly. Sanji tried to convince and reassure me that he didn't need help. This annoyed me obviously, so I kept pestering him but he was stubborn. He only caved in when I hit him with the, ''Is it because I'm a woman?'' Which was ironic really, giving what we were arguing about.

After lunch, everyone spread out to do their own things. I decided to stay in the kitchen; I was in the sun for too long. My metal arms can heat up pretty quickly when exposed to the sun for too long, its worse when it's a hot summer's day. I also realized that I'm almost out of joint oil and wax for my arms, which is concerning. The salty air and scorching sun doesn't help with my metal arms, especially when I got wet in the ocean. The salt water would rust my metal, that's why I need to restock on my stuff quickly. I also need to get myself more clothes, more specifically long sleeves and gloves for my arms. It's a pain in the ass really. I took out a paper and pen and started listing down all the things I need to get, as I write I was also listening to the two that was doing the dishes.
