It was very easy for the weather in The Grand Line to change from bad to worse, and tonight was not short of normal. The star filled night sky quickly covered by a hurricane of massive size was something the crew of the tiny pirate ship had never thought they would ride out. In the hour before it struck Nami had both seen and made a safe route around the storm. But by complete unbelievable twists of fate The Going Merry was sucked right in. The wind and rain was so strong that none of the seven crew members could sleep, until Chopper gave everyone a simple sleeping pill with the power to knock you right out and let you sleep soundly, until morning. But what the crew couldn't muster was that they would soon fine them self's in a problem bigger then any Grand Line storm.The sun was up and shinning bright in the clear blue sky. The suns raise gleamed into the windows of The Going Merry. Nami, Robin, and Chopper were the first three to wake up. From where Chopper and Robin had been sleeping on the stairs, they could see how the sleeping pills had effected the still sleeping male members of the crew. "Maybe the pills were to strong?" Chopper thought. "Well, they should have taken that pill after making a bed or something!" Nami said with a hushed annoyed tone, as she tried her best, no matter what she wanted, not to step on anyone, as she made her way to the stairs. Robin reached the door and opened it to a blinding light waiting to see the damage the storm had caused. " My goodness, this is not what I was exspect'in." Robin said. "How's the damage?" Nami asked as Chopper ran up the stairs. "Wow! I can't believe it!" Chopper gasped. "You mean it's that bad?" Nami asked walking to the door, not at all expecting what she was about to see.Nothing could be said as Nami looked out the door. Nami's face was stunned as she looked at the clean an undamaged ship. "It...It can't be possible.." Nami said in disbelief. Chopper walked outward to the mast and Robin followed. "Hey do you think we might me beached or something? I can't feel the ship rocking." Chopper asked after touching the mast. "We might be, Chopper." Nami replied placing her hands on her hips. " Actually I think we're in some kinda dock'in device. See'in as ta how these ropes have the ship tied down." Robin proclaimed "Docking device?" Nami looked at Robin, "Hey look Nami, it's true!", Nami turned towards the little reindeer who was leaning over the Starboard side of the ship. "There's a ton of docks on this beach!" Nami had joined Chopper and noticed other ships docked as well. "Well, its better then be beached by a storm. But how can a ship dock on it's own?" Nami crossed her arms and tried to think how it was possible, when Robin returned to the ships cabin. "Gentlemen I do believe you should be gett'in up soon. Don't you?" Nami heard this and made her way to the cabin. "Trust me Robin I know what will get them up." Nami smiled evilly as Robin leaned back resting on the wall, a simple smile on her lips, with her eyes closed and arms crossed. Nami took a deep, deep, deep breath into her lungs ready to blow. "GET YOUR ASS'S UP, RIGHT NOW!!" Nami screamed at the top of her lungs, causing all four of the remaining male crew to fly up screaming while covering their ears. "Nami! Not so loud this early in the morning!" Ussop yelled. "Oh be quiet it's almost noon anyway," Nami and Robin began exiting the cabin, "So now that your awake you should move your ass's in to gear, and help figure this out!" Still a bit bewildered Luffy, Zoro, Ussop, and Sanji soon appeared on the deck with the same stunned look as Nami had earlier.It was clear that the ship had docked a some Island during the storm. The only problem was how the ship made it through that storm unharmed, how the ship became dock the way it was, and how the near by beach looked like it hadn't even been through a storm in some time. Something strange was going on, and so the crew decided to set out in search of a town. Coming across a near by road was a stroke of luck, including the large sign near it.
After reading the statement, Luffy was just waiting to leave for the city, just the thought of eating didn't make him the lest worried about the Guardians. So when Nami suggested that Ussop go to the Mansion, and to let Chopper go with him, Luffy agreed, no buts about it. So it was done and the crew parted ways done the brick paths. It wasn't long before the city could be seen, from looking at the city for the first time it resembled something like an English style fairytale town, with a big amount of Italian influence. Arriving at the entrance gave a scene of peaceful city life with people every which way. The stores were visible every where, and it wasn't hard to see which were shops and which were homes. But upon reaching the town square, a beautiful water fountain, at best a perfect circle. In the center a goddess like statue, a woman in a long dress sitting down on what appeared as a beach, her long hair reached to the water, but instead a jar or pitcher, the woman's hair was where the water was produced. It streamed out causing the suns light to shimmer off the water to make a beautiful site Luffy was amazed by the fountain for about a minute. Zoro, Nami, and Sanji though and smiled at how peaceful the woman's face looked. Then out of no where. " I found it!" Luffy yelled out happily, causing his friends to turn in his direction. "I knew I smelled food around here!" Luffy yelled back standing near a building. "Oh Luffy. Always food isn't it." Nami and Zoro both frowned. "I swear, he has to have at least four stomachs for him to eat so much." Zoro stated. "Hey Sanji you watch him this time.", "Sure I'm a bit hungry myself actually. And don't worry Zoro, I'll make sure our cow captain doesn't eat himself in to a coma. " The friends parted, Nami went shopping, Zoro a simple walk, Sanji trailed Luffy, and Robin had vanished.Mean while Ussop and Chopper had made it to the Mansion. A large beautiful house, surrounding in gardens. Back on his Island Ussop had spent many hours at Kaya's Mansion, and Chopper lived in a castle, but this house out did them both in view and beauty alone. Reaching the open gate the two saw a a woman dressed as a nun watering flowers. From the moment they introduce themselves, the woman didn't at all look at Chopper with fear or disgust, but a sweet, kind smile. Showing Chopper the herb bed was what the nun was happy to do for him before entering the Mansion. But then a glint of light caught Ussop's attention, he looked up at a near bye upper level window, and his heart stopped beating. The glint was from a pair of glasses, which at the moment were being held by a young woman who could rivaled even Kaya's own beauty, and Kaya's very pretty. Ussop couldn't look away. The girl had long Dirty Blond hair up in a thick ponytail held by a green bow. She was wearing a red dress, with the sleeves pushed down passed her shoulders. A little bird was pirched on the window, and the girl had been watching it until it flew away. But it was that moment that the girl caught site of Ussop. Her eyes were a crystal ice sky blue, she looked down at him with the very simple slight look of "oh my", as she watched him stand there straight as a board, blushing madly, and sweating bullets. About to call to him, another girls voice chimed in. "The doctor is asking to see you?", The young woman turned making her hair flip and then turned back to Ussop. She smiled at him sweetly, then stood up to leave. It was then Chopper called over to Ussop. "Ussop were going in now." Snapping out of his trance. He turned to Chopper. "What? Oh, I'm coming." He began walking to the door in hopes to see the girl again.
