The sun's warm caress wakes you from your sleep early so you are on Tribals before anyone else in your group. You use the time alone to expand your personal base and paint it the colour of your choice.

You also spend some time caring for your only personal tame, who Robin has put in a scouting position because of his great agility.

Then you just sit in the virtual sun, appreciating everything in this world. The amazing lighting and graphics of the surrounding flora and fauna of the jungle. The way that the light bends around objects and the calming noises of creatures that dwell among the dense trees.

The door of the messy red base creaks open and Luffy's character runs out.

"(Y/N)!" He yells as he waves at you. He makes his way towards you, keeping his large grin the entire time. "You're finally back online, good timing."

"It's nice to be back, relaxing, if you know what I mean." You reply.

"Well relax while you can because the others will be online soon and there will be a lot of action." You hear the voice of Zoro to your right.

Sure enough the rest of the Mugiwara tribe join shortly afterwards and prepare for the taming spree.

"Everyone remember to use each others usernames instead of real names once we get outside the base" Nami reminds everyone as you all prepare to exit the gates. You, Vivi, Luffy and Sanji are the scouts as you have the fastest tames. Franky is on the large tank-like lizard beast that is carrying most of the gear in the middle of the formation and the others are on dangerous looking tames around the beast.

"Scouts will use flares to signal to the rest of us for when you find a place with high level good tames" Nami explains. "Of course these signals could be seen by other players in the area" like Surgeon "so don't let your guard down"

With that said the gates open and you, Luffy, Vivi and Sanji ride out, followed by the rest of the tribe. While you are in the jungle you stay close enough to the main group so that you can still see them, despite the trees and vines and their constant attempts to block your view. The group moves at a slug-like pace because of the density and having to cut down most of the trees to get the largest creature through. Your smaller crowned ibak is much more agile and can slip through the trees with ease so you end up quite a way ahead of them anyway.

"(Y/U/N)" You hear Usopp call from the main group. You turn your head and slow down your tame even more. "Just go on ahead and find some potential tames, we'll catch up soon" he instructs and you do just that, weaving the crowned ibak through the trees and to the edge of the jungle. The trees spread out and grow taller as you go, vines vanishing and ground being actually visible underneath the undergrowth.

Because there is now more space you can speed up without running into anything. You don't quite push him to his full speed because you want to save some stamina and you don't want to get too far ahead of the others.

The crowned ibak canters through the pine forest which you have entered. There is a gradual change with pieces of frost on the tree trunks and the dirt ground. The frost spreads the further you travel until it finally becomes a snowy forest.

You slow the crowned ibak to a halt and admire your bright white surroundings. Looking behind you there are forked shallow footsteps that your tame had made. They slowly fade as more snow lightly falls into the gaps. A lump of snow falls from a tree a few metres away from you once it gets too heavy for the branch to bare it.

The only movement is the snow gently falling from the sky and the only sounds are the huffing of your tame and slight rustling from the branches in the light wind.
