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

Vivi's Choice!//Chapter 59

"He's along the upper reaches of the Sandora River." Nami summed up.

Sanji sat back on the floor in his spot in front of the couch, "Can we trust him?"

Luffy nodded, "Well, we were friendly with him once before."

Zoro frowned at his Captain's answer, "Knowing you, I'm worried you'll get friendly with him again."

"With Cap', the chance is highly possible." Faythe snorted.

Chopper started getting nervous, "...But we've got no other choice."

Sanji nodded in agreement as he got up to start packing, "You're right. He has our ship after all. If he's setting a trap for us... Then we'll just kick his ass when the time comes."

Faythe sighed and started collecting her things.

Zoro was grabbing his swords from under the bed, "If it's settled then we better start getting ready..."

After a moment of packing, Vivi spoke up quietly, grabbing everyone's undivided attention, "Everyone."

"Vivi!?" Luffy said loudly surprised that she started talking.

Vivi placed her hands on her knees and looked down thinking, "Everyone... What... Should I do...?"

Faythe paused and looked at the girl sadly. Nami glanced at faythe for a moment before explaining to the girl, "Listen, Vivi. We'll give you 12 hours to decide. Once we take our ship at Sandora River, We'll approach the Eastern Port JUST ONCE, exactly at noon tomorrow! We probably won't be able to drop anchor though..."

Nami waited for the information to sink in. Vivi sat up attentive.

"So... If you want to continue travelling with us, that'll be your one and only chance to get onboard! This time, though... We'll welcome you as a pirate!"

Everyone was packed and half way out the window, making their great escape from the hospitality of the King.

"Since you're the princess of a country, we won't push you to come along." Sanji smiled and out he went.

"COME WITH US, VIVI! YOU BETTER COME! NO, JUST COME RIGHT NOW!" Luffy shouted as he was kicked in the back of his head, resulting in him falling out the window.

"QUIT IT, LUFFY!" Usopp was the one who kicked him.

"We're off then." Zoro saluted and hopped out.

"What, don't you guys want her to come!?" Luffy huffed outside.

"This isn't about that! Vivi has to decide for herself!" Usopp grumbled.

The last one in the room was just Faythe and Vivi. The red head scribbled something on one of her pages and folded it. She then grabbed Vivi's hand and placed it in it. Vivi looked up at her confused on what she wrote.

Faythe only gave her a smile, "Open it when you figure out what you want." After saying that, The girl gave Vivi a comfortable hug.

Vivi sunk into the warm comfort and smiled, "Has anyone told you, that you give the best hugs?"

Faythe chuckled at that, "No, not that I've heard of. Your the first."

"Lucky me." Vivi smiled.

Faythe stood on the window sill and turned around a smirk dancing on her face, "Also can I ask you a favor."

In the dead of night, the crew were currently riding each duck from the drip squad. They were all running through the desert, rushing towards their ship in a hurry. They were all robed up, trying to make sure no marine would catch them as they neared the river.
