What: The first leg of the race
Warnings: The usual

Pls date your threads.

Bloody Roses, how close we're sailing is up to you guys though probably not enough to just casually swing over without some ability. However, feel free to come encounter us at any time on the island!

Straw Hats, enjoy the veggie rain! Also remember our NPC pirates are Mama's Bone Boys who will attack us intermittently throughout the journey and send spies on board. Let's save the major boss battles til the finale, though, shall we? But otherwise, have fun!

[just bopping around for most of the days. Gathering up vegetables when it rains and ocasionally trying to make lumpy snowmen. He's nosier, though, than usual, or maybe just wants the company so he'll be hanging out more. You can also find him going through some of the stuff Usopp left behind the first and second times he's been there.

Though he seems petty cheerful throughout the day, when it's time for him to sleep he'll be looking to share a hammock with whoever won't kick him out]

some evening

[yourotherleft]

[looks like a break in the vegetable rain. A good time for Zoro to wander around and see if there's any more to collect for Sanji, or run into Luffy. More likely the latter. He's not on his way to bed yet, but soon...]

[allendsmeat]

[well you won't find Luffy per se, but there's a little lean-to of vegetables, supported by two daikon radish, over by the railing, and the only evidence of Luffy is a fishing pole jutting out through the gap in the railing]

[yourotherleft]

[that is rather silly, it must be Luffy. Zoro treads gently so as not to kick over the vegetable hut.]

Now I've seen everything.

[allendsmeat]

[hears Zoro's voice and slides it back a little so he can look at him]

Yo! Wanna come in?

[he wants to fish but it's annoying to get hit by vegetables all the time]

[yourotherleft]

Nah. I don't know if I'd fit in there with you.

[see previous concern about kicking it over]

How's the fishing? Catch anything?

[allendsmeat]

[it'd be fine. They'd have to squish though... But since Zoro isn't coming in, Luffy comes out a bit to join him]

Pretty good. [he nudges the bucket with three fish or so with his foot] They really like potatoes. [you might notice that he's wearing a shirt that Usopp wore a few times. It's even a little big on him]

[yourotherleft]

[oh, he notices, and can't help but fret a little to himself. Hopefully Luffy won't take it as hard as he did last time, but that's what Zoro's here for.

He heaves himself to a seat on the other side of the bucket and lets his feet dangle over the edge of the ship.]

Good thing we've got lots of bait for 'em, then. Can't go wrong with fresh fish.

[allendsmeat]

Yeah. [it's still going to be annoying to get hit by vegetables though. So he busies himself with working his shelter in half, sliding some of it behind Zoro so at least he won't get hit on the head before sitting back down beside his own and recasting his line]

I can do haki a little better now. Smokey taught me. Not the... hard one but the other two.

[yourotherleft]

Did he? [he appreciates the shelter but doesn't need it. This is the dumbass who's been sleeping on deck, after all] Hm. I guess he'd probably be better at explaining them.

[allendsmeat]

[it doesn't matter if he needs it or not. Luffy still wants to do it and so he did]

Yeah kinda. I think it's cuz I've kept practicing-- and that time with the annoying people that tried to eat me. [jerks] But doing that pushing out haki makes me hungry.

[yourotherleft]

It's probably gonna take lots more practice to be able to use Conqueror's haki more easily. [since he doesn't recall Luffy needing to tank up immediately after using it] It's good, though, that you've been working on it.

[allendsmeat]

I'll show you when I get excited again. [scratches the back of his leg with the opposite foot and pulls at the shirt a little. It doesn't smell like Usopp too much anymore]

Are you ahead of him or behind?

[justicereigns]

[During one such loud day, Smoker just flicks him in the forehead.]

Do you have any concept of the word: quiet?

[allendsmeat]

Hahaha [just grins] Me and Roger are playing hide the ball. Wanna try? [beside him the puppy barks and wags its tail]

1/2

[justicereigns]

You can't name him Roger!

His name is Garp!

2/2

[justicereigns]

Hide the ball?

You mean fetch, right?

[allendsmeat]

No way. Roger is better. [he doesn't wanna have to call him Jii-chan]

No hide it. I hid it but now I can't find it so Roger's helping. [grins at the puppy] Na!

[happy bark!]

[justicereigns]

[Facepalms.]

Fine, I'll help you look.

You can't name the dog Roger. Kuzan will kill me.

[allendsmeat]

Oh yeah. [it was a Marine dog after all. Even if Roger was really cool, he might get in trouble] Yosh, Jii-chan then.

[he grins as Smoker says he'll help]

Shishishi okay!

[justicereigns]

[Damn it Luffy, don't be agreeable!]

Quit being so happy about it. It's not for you, it's just because the dog is too young to understand what you're looking for, that's all!

[allendsmeat]

I dunno. Jii-chan is pretty smart. He can find it if he wants but that wouldn't make it that fun.

[the point is Smoker finding it after all]

[justicereigns]

[Pause.]

[Someone just called Garp smart.]

[His brain...]

[His BRAIN.]

Okay we need to name the dog something different after all.

Wait so why isn't it fun if he finds it?

[allendsmeat]

You gotta make up your mind. It's confusing. [he was talking about the dog, dummy.]

Cuz he can smell it and it's your turn.

[justicereigns]

[Sigh.]

You're the last person I want to hear that from.

Fine. [Starts looking.] How's Chaser for a name? Or Finder.
