NEAR WATER 7. IN THE SEA.

The gourd you sipped from was now only filled halfway, and you wondered if you should go for a refill at Blueno's Bar. You remember your last refill at Gold Roger's Bar. The cold and rough stone floor, the creaking bar seats... Those thoughts made you think back to the events on Loguetown. Especially a certain Marine...

I wonder how Smoker-Taisa[*] is doing.

[ *I decided to use "-Taisa" when speaking to/voicing Marine Captains because it felt better on tongue, and also because I'm used to the anime in sub. Expect a lot more Romaji in the future! ]

Sure, that time with him chasing you was certainly a threat to your job and to the lives of future events, but it ended up being fine in the end. It also was a fun experience for you. From your visions, you knew that he was on his ship and would soon reach Alabasta. He would be focused on catching Luffy. Maybe you can talk to him before then?

The blue and green Sea King swims calmly and quietly. There was no set destination, you just wanted to relax while surrounded by the salty waters you've been with since awakening. Though you weren't sure if Uku had a place in mind...

"Are we... going somewhere?" You ask.

There's an island in this direction but it wasn't my intention.

With that you take off your hat and gourd then placed it next to your case full of money. After loosening your updo, you launch off the Sea King's head and dove in the water. Uku continues to swim at his pace since he knew you could easily catch up to him. You swim up next to the right of his face and grabbed one of the large teeth that stuck out his mouth.

He doesn't mind at all. You hold onto it with a smile.

[ Uku wasn't an extremely large Sea King. He was big enough to swallow a small ship, but not as big as a small island. ]

[f/n] held onto Uku for a while, and then releases to quickly snatch a clam at the seafloor. She then climbs back up to her seat to enjoy her snack. But that was only for a short while until the Sea Witch craves the cool waters.

SPLASH!

A growl came from the Sea King. Was that necessary?

She laughs playfully.

Uku may seem like he's annoyed with the woman's presence, but he very much loves how her antics light up the boring atmosphere. The two are obviously best friends because they've been together since her awakening. The Sea King wouldn't admit it but watching [f/n] grow and learn made him feel somewhat responsible, like a guardian. Even if he was too old to be so sentimental, he can't help but want her to grow up and be happy.

This time she doesn't hang from his tooth. She decides to swim next to him while occasionally picking up a clam and harvesting pearls from some oysters. So far she had one large and four small pearls. The large pearl was as lustrous and opalescent as any other large pearl, but this time, it was black. [f/n] was too amazed at this discovery that she stopped swimming just to admire it in the sunlight.
