The Anime 'One Piece' is not mine. Everything else is.
Here you go guys, enjoy the update.
I looked out the porthole to see the calm blanket of ocean out there surrounding Nanatsu. I decided to let her drift a little and retire to my quarters.
Opening the door to my room, I noticed Imari coming out of her room next to mine. She was rubbing her eye and looking around.
"Shina, what time is it…?"
"It'll be a few hours till sunset Imari, go back to sleep." I replied curtly. Even though Imari was a 'night-owl' to put it bluntly, she could be awakened by the slightest noise. It didn't matter though, because it was always easy to wake her when an injury occurred.
"Will we be nearing land soon?"
"I'll wake you when we do Imari, don't worry."
She went off in the direction of the galley as I closed the door behind me and seated myself on the deck facing a porthole.
I looked around the room. On the wall next to the porthole I had tacked on a large map of the entire of the world, the four oceans, the red line, and the Grand Line.
I traced the Grand Line with my finger, slowly examining the drawing.
Then I noticed something else….the Calm Belt.
I followed it with my finger until it came to a spot, somewhere in the Northern Blue, in the edge of the Calm Belt.
Why?
In that spot was my home…on the isle of Ullysia.
I took out a book from my drawer and opened it to the first page and started reading.
Captain's Log:
(1)
I have decided to leave Ullysia. It holds too much pains of the past for me to endure anymore. I leave to wander the world, in the only lasting memory of my father…
Four Years Ago
The calming sea breeze greeted the tall, swaying coconut trees. The waves sloshed against the white-sand shore of Ullysia Island, making the beach seem so picturesque.
A young teenage girl began running along the beach, her simple blue knee length dress was flapping behind her, as was her shoulder length chocolate brown hair. Lagging behind, was a man in his late thirties, with swept-back chocolate brown hair with matching handlebar moustache.
"Daddy, hurry up!" The girl cried, running faster.
"Shinatsu!" The man exclaimed, stopping to catch his breath, only to fall onto the sand.
Shinatsu turned around to run to her father's side. "Daddy, are you okay?"
"Just exhausted…stop going all over the place, I have to go to the square, remember?"
"Oh, okay…"
The two walked together to up the beach and up to the village.
The Village, the only one on Ullysia, was small, with surrounding huts circling a center square, which at this moment had a number of tables, each filled with food, and the townspeople were scattered, eating food, chatting and otherwise waiting for someone.
When the two came up to the square, the crowd's collective eyes followed them as they walked to the top table, where one man, with messy black hair, was seated.
At their arrival, said man stood and shook hands with Shinatsu's father. "Samuel, please to see you again!" He greeted merrily, cheeks red with Sake.
"Mayor Rafael, I'm honored to shake your hand." Samuel Kamiko replied, a warm smile on his face.
Rafael looked to the side and let out a loud guffaw. He spotted Shinatsu, and smiled widely. "Ah, so this must be your daughter?" He took a closer look and bent over to kiss her hand. "Such a fine woman on this little paradise of an island…greetings, my lady."
Shinatsu giggled. "Pleasure." As she tucked back a lock of her hair and noticed some teenage boys were eyeing her.
"Enough with the introduction!" Rafael strode between them, addressing the crowd. "We are here to congratulate the ongoing assistance, of a great man, whose impeccable inventions have rid this small town of a great menace. This small island used to be bombarded with the wrath of the sea kings, but now, that threat is a thing of the past! All thanks to Samuel Kamiko, the master weapon smith!"
"Cheers!" replied the crowd, as Samuel and Shinatsu seated themselves at the head table as the guests of honor.
Of course…all good things…come to an end.
Sorry if it's short, but I had to get rid of all the annoying 'Blah' before I could get started on the good stuff.
