One Piece: Seafaring Adventures

Chapter 17

Saphira's POV

When we head out, Nami quickly wrote down to explain everything to me. Our next stop was a place called Whisky Peak. The two strange people that came with us, a blue haired woman and a guy with two tattoos on his cheeks. I found them a odd bunch, not for their strange attire, but of the vibes they were giving. I didn't have much of a say of who joined us, that was Luffy's decision, he is the captain after all.

As we left the Twin Peaks of Reverse Mountain, the weather made a sudden change. It started snowing. Everyone, those who had a brain, quickly put on warm clothing. I was inside the kitchen with Nami and the odd duo. I was watching Usopp and Luffy having fun on the deck of the Mary. They were sculpting figures out of the snow. Luffy made an ordinary snowman, while Usopp went above and beyond by sculpting a figure of a woman.

After everything that I've been through, I've ruined my shirt with my blood and tears. I didn't want to risk anything with my blood and desided to burn my stain clothes. In my bag that I've brought along, I luckily had some spare clothing. Unfortunately, I didn't have anything warm for this weather. Nami was kind enough to lend me one of her jackets. Even so, I was freezing and I hated it.

My ears haven't gained back the ability to hear, so all I could do was watch as Nami complained about something and the two weirdos shiver in their seats. I moved to sit next to the blue hair lady and took out the pen and paper I brought with me. I wanted to write a letter to the mayor and his family. I felt bad for leaving so suddenly without a word. I know that they must be worried. Although, I'm not sure how I'll get my letters to them delivered.

As I write, I could feel the curious eyes of the blue hair lady next to me. It didn't bother me as much, so I let her lean in and read as I write.

'Dear mayor and family,
I know you won't be impressed with me when all I can say is sorry. I left without a word, and I know that was very rude of me. But, trust me when I say, I'm safe.
The reasons for why I left...I'm going to go find my sisters. I know you'll be worried, things can get dangerous, but I promise to do everything I can to make it back to you after I found them.
With love,
Saphira.'

I didn't know what else to write. Knowing the mayor, he'll appriciate the quick explanation. But, his wife might not. She'll definitely, if she can, demand for more information. I sigh and glance up to make eye contact with the blue hair lady. There was an understanding gleam in her eyes. I didn't want to ask and put effort in writing down a conversation between us. There was a sudden rumbling that shook the ship and I felt it.

Looking up, I saw that Nami and the rest looked nervous all of a sudden. I fold my letter and put it away in my pocket. I stood up and joined Nami at the round window that looked out toward the deck. As I looked outside, I noticed the sky has become darker and lightning flashed across the sky. Now I know that the rumble was from the thunder. Nami dissapeared from my side and out the door. She was shouting something at everyone and they all rushed to do as she said.

I watched in confusion and horror as the ocean became nothing but chaos. Nami was shouting order after order every time the weather seemed to change drastically. First, it was the snow, then it became a blizzard. The next thing you know, the sun was out and the air became humid. Sanji rushed into the kitchen to turn the rudder of the ship. When I saw him struggling, I rushed to join him and help. I grunted from the effort to push and pull the rudder.

The chaos seems to never cease. Problem after problem and I fear this might be the day we all perish. But, just as it began, it stopped just as quickly. The result, complete and utter exhaustion. When the weather finally calmed, everyone slumped down where they were and tried to catch their breathes. I was resting against the mast of the ship, when I saw a perfectly fine Zoro. 'Now that I think about it...where was he in all this chaos?'
