Ibis's POV: A big mural of artwork was hanging on the ceiling with little drawings on it each like a little a little piece of a puzzle.
"What do you mean by it being the clue we need." Zoro asks me.
"It's a map that is showing us to the Lost Island."
"How can you notice something like that."
"I just know.
Anyway see that dome shaped drawing on the ceiling." I say pointing to what I'm talking about. Everyone looks where I'm pointing as I notice Nami looking at me surprised.
"Nami I just know for some weird reason I don't know how."
"Ok if you say so Ibis."
I do t want them to tell them the truth of how I know. They just told me. That's all.
I don't know exactly the rest of what this map means maybe Nami can figure it out better than me." I say with actual honesty. I really do know but I am not going to be a show off.
"Sure thing Ibis. "
"The dome shaped drawing is this island. "
"The island ahead of the people worshiping that's where the real Lost Island is and the Dragon's Nest is probably there to but if you think about the way it's pictured on the map... "
"The Dragon Nest would be located on Warship Island." Nami says finishing the explanation.
"Are you sure it's their." Apis says with a look of sadness.
"There is no way that Nami is wrong." I say with determination. I know it's there I just know for a fact. Plus I never give up on hope on anything in my life.
Time Skip
A few minutes of silence has now fell upon us as Apis breaks the silence.
"I knew it might have sunk into the sea long ago... And I dragged you all here searching for it." Apis says crying. I go over to comfort her.
"Don't give up it might have not resurface yet, Apis don't give up. I have a feeling it's closer than it maybe seem." I say with a childlike smile on my face.
"Thanks Ibis."
"Somebody's here." Zoro says grabbing his sword as I grab my sword to.
"What?" Usopp says surprised.
I just point to where he is ready taking a stand to protect the others.
"Many thanks for the explanation but if the island is under the sea still sunk or has skunked. I will just have to take that dragon with me." He says with an evil smile.
"Over my dead body!" I say screaming at him with rage and wanting revenge for what he did to me before.
"Take Ryu and get on the ship,
Well we will be their later." I say referring to me and Zoro who wouldn't let me do this myself.
As I say that with a smile Luffy begins to take Ryu with them.
"I don't exactly see an exit." Usopp says like it ain't obvious I am just more interested in what the captain is thinking of doing.
"Then will have to make one." Luffy says as he runs into the wall head on without a scratch and without even breaking the wall but I stand there laughing as the wall begins to break on the right a second later.
"You won't get away." Eric says running after them but can't catch them.
"Neither will you." We say in sync with smug expression on our faces.
"You cretins you're going to regret getting in my way." Eric says as he hits Zoro with one of his attacks. I don't know why but I begin to cry.
"Zoro wake up, Zoro." I kept calling his name with tears in my eyes. He was unconscious.
"Zoro no you will pay for this." I say screaming with rage.
I have no time to deal with your kind." He says smiling as he attacks me next and thinks it works but... It doesn't work cause I disappear.
"You won't escape death for what you have done, you deserve to DIE." I say to him with the sword in my hands pointing at his heart. He turns around to see the final thing he will ever see. I stab him straight through the heart without mercy or a care.
"Opps my bad." I say with a evil smile and my eyes soulless.
He bled their to death, I know I am going to get in trouble if the Marines came. I run to Zoro shaking him to wake up.
"Zoro, Zoro wake up we." I say to him with a scared tone of voice feared for my life a little as it has happened again.
Time Skip
I decided to Zoro here. I know that's a horrible thing to do, but I am to afraid of what someone would say when they see the blood on me. I start running again but a hand grabs me. It was Zoro, he woke up.
"Let's go meet up with the others." He says with a crying voice and a smile luckily his eyes aren't open yet.
He opens his eyes to see what I have done. I'm worried that he won't trust me anymore. Wait why in the world am I worried they won't trust them. We have a long period of silence between one of us as we return to the ship.
Time Skip
We return to the ship an hour later without one of us talking as the blood that was on me completely disappeared.
I just went to my room right I went back onto the ship.
Zoro's POV: A didn't know what to say to Ibis when I woke up seeing her scared and covered in Eric's blood so I didn't say anything at all. When we got onto the ship she went to her room, I began to worry. Maybe I will ask Ibis about what happened later. We depart from the docks and head to Warship Island where we are blocked now by marines ships connecting chains with one another not letting us escape.
"The only way we can get through it to cut threw."
