Uta and the Grand Line.

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Welcome to the town of Dolomis Peaks." the man said as he bows before the group. "We're honored to have guests come to our little village."

"Oh! Please! Don't bow before us!" Gordon said. "We're pleased to be here!"

"He's right." Uta said, jumping before Gordon. "I've never seen mountains so tall before! What a cool sight!"

The girls nod their heads in agreement.

"Haha! I'm glad you think that way." the man said laughing. "This landscape is our pride and joy after all."

"Chief Andreas!" a voice yells from the crowd.

The man, now identified as Chief Andreas, looks over to the crowd to find the source of the voice. A woman runs up to him and whispers something to him. The man nods, understanding and the woman leaves in a rush.

"Please excuse me." Andreas said. "We were so excited for your arrival that I forgot to do some things."

"Don't mind us." Abell said. "We'll find a place to set up our stage if you don't mind."

"Not at all." the chief said. "I recommend going to the coast. It's quite beautiful there."

"Performing near the shore? Sounds nice." Pitch said.

"Just follow the road down." Andreas said pointing down the brick pavement. "If you get lost, just ask any of the villagers. They'll be more than glad to help."

The teens grab their equipment and Gordon leads the way and makes his way down the road with the women following him. The four follow the road until they reach the center of the island where the mountain splits. They couldn't believe the sights they saw. Adobe brick buildings of small structure were built on the side of the mountains with the exception of some shops and décor. Some were carved in and others were built attached to the side of the rocky outcrop by clay and wood. The buildings reach from ground level to more than ten stories up. There were also stairs built along the side of the mountain and rope bridges that connected structure to structure. The streets were bustling with a surprising amount of people and there were various palm trees and cacti that were used as decoration and several fountains that flowed outwards from the ground. The sides of the mountain have carvings of people, plants, and animals that were colored with chalk. The bustling of the dozens of people echo throughout the town giving it a unique vibe.

"This place reminds me of the Reservoir." Abell said, looking around in awe. "I can't stop staring."

"It's hard to believe people would actually build their homes on the side of a cliff." Pitch said. "What a way to live."

"What a scary life to live." Gordon mumbles as he gets goosebumps at the thought of even looking down from one of those buildings. "There's no way in hell we're staying in one of those."

After a certain incident involving Uta's recklessness many years ago, Gordon has acquired acrophobia and would try to avoid looking out windows any higher than two stories. As the four walked onwards, they were bombarded with greetings from the townsfolk from all angles. Some waved from the cliff sides while others greeted them from the streets. Despite the island's daunting appearance, the residents are all very nice people. Eventually, Uta and the Section Leaders reach the beach which Chief Andreas has mentioned. The beach is as beautiful as a tropical coastline. There were palm trees, sea shells, beach chairs, umbrellas and of course people who were playing in the sand and ocean. Hard to believe something like this is so close to the mountainside.

"What a beautiful beach." Uta said in awe. "The question now is where should we set up our stage."

"Hey! Over here!"
