Captain's Parrot (Oc x One Piece) Book 1

On the clock!//Chapter 47

"Nrgh!" Lifting up the perverted camel at the end of his sword, Zoro was training like always.

Usopp was telling stories to Chopper, trying to distract the Princess as well, "And that's when I yelled... 'YOU BOW-LEGGED FREAK!' And ever since then, all crabs around the world have realized just how bow-legged they were..." Usopp grinned proudly at his story.

"OHHH! SO THAT'S WHY THEY WALK SIDEWAYS!" Chopper glowed excitedly.

"Zoro, stop wasting energy pointlessly." Nami frowned at the swordsmen.

"SHUT UP!" Was his only reply.

"And there was another twerp hopping behind him then... It was a shrimp!" Usopp continued.

"Ohh! So shrimps are crabs?" Chopper was definitely shocked by this newfound information.

"Yup, they're crabs."

Faythe couldn't help but snort at the little reindeer's reaction.

"Just leave him and the others be, Nami..." Sanji sighed, relighting a new cigarette, "They need something to keep their minds preoccupied so they can calm down. They're no good at maintaining composure... Especially that muscle-head."

"Sanji... Don't you dare start this right now..." Faythe glanced at the blonde. But he continued anyways, wanting to get a reaction out of the First-Mate.

"He's feeling insecure because he's realized the gap between him and a Shichibukai."

Zoro turned his head slowly, a glare fashioning his face ever so darkly, "What're you implying, exactly? Out with it!"

Sanji took the cigar out of his mouth and gently tapped the ends, before speaking again, "Fine, I'll say it. You're scared that Luffy might lose."

"Me...? Scared...!? Say that again pretty-brows!"

"The hell did you just call me!? You little... Marimo-Head!"

"WHAT WAS THAT!?"

Faythe sighed as she noticed Nami clench her fist annoyed.

"YOU WANNA FIGHT!" They both said at the same time before getting clobbered by Nami herself.

"Quit it, you dumbasses!" Her brows furrowed at the stress was building in her head.

"It'll be fine guys! Luffy won't lose!" Vivi spoke up. But upon closer inspection, the crew could tell she was sweating the most nervously, "After all, he promised us! He promised he'd meet up with us at Alubarna!"

"HAHAHA! Vivi that's becoming a main look for you!" Faythe started cackling, but was quickly smacked by Usopp.

"Aren't you the one worried the most!?"

Nami gently punched Vivi's forehead, "You just stick to worrying about the rebellion, not us!"

"Oww!" She whined.

"...Sorry for making you worry needlessly, Vivi." Sanji frowned while apologizing.

"Well, I can't exactly say anything after that, can I know...?" Zoro huffed, avoiding eye contact.

"Alright then... Off to Alubarna we go!" Nami pumped up, "COME ON, SCISSORS!"

"What the hell?" Faythe looked her friend weirdly.

"Uhh... What was that?"

"Scissors. It's the crab's name."

"A crab named scissors... Seriously now?"

"No offense Nami, but your naming skills suck ass." Faythe stated bluntly.
