The Copyist (One Piece & OC)

Chapter 28: Woah Waterfalls

For starters we stopped by this island where everything was either super tall or super long. I saw the longest dockson in my life. I decided to name him longfellow. Apparently the name of the island was Long Ring Long Land. Talk about a mouthful of a name right? It was like they decided to make it long in an attempt to match the island itself, but everything else was so plain.

Another thing that happened while we were there was we ran into another group of pirates. Their captain, was his name 'Split Head'?, challenged Luffy and his crew to a Davy Back Fight. You compete in different competitions, and the winner of each round gets to steal a member of the loser's crew. Since I wasn't an actual member of the Strawhats, I didn't get to play, but it was still fun to watch. Some of the games were nerve wracking to watch. Not only that, but Luffy almost lost a couple of members. Luckily everything turned out well in the end.

Following those events, we ran into an admiral of the navy: Aokiji. He was relaxing in the weirdest location before he noticed us. He seemed to recognize Robin. He also recognized me, but forgot my name or if I was important or not. I didn't explain. It was bad enough he tried to go after Robin. Robin and Luffy both got their entire bodies frozen. Sanji and Zoro also got a part of them frozen as well: Sanji's leg and Zoro's arm. Chopper was able to get everyone back to normal non-frozen selves.

Yesterday, a large frog decided that it was a good idea to ram into the side of the Going Merry, hurting her even further. Talk about rude. We learned that that frog challenged the Sea Train everyday in hopes that it will one day be stronger than the train.

There was an old drunk grandma who told us about the Sea Train. She then gave us directions towards Water 7, which is coming into view now.

The island is beautiful. It looks like a gigantic fountain. The top has three tiers before it runs along the sides of the island in what appears to be aqueducts. Then at the bottom they rush out in mini waterfalls near the large docks used by the shipwrights.

I've always enjoyed watching water related things. The sea, waves, fountains, but my favorite has always been waterfalls. I don't know what it is about them, but I could sit for hours on end just watching the water fall. Even the sound of it landing all at once was interesting to me.

The ship was headed to the side of the large fountain part of the island. There was normal land surrounding it, so that is where we were headed.

"This area should be okay, don't you think?" Usopp wondered.

I went to change my clothes, so I'll feel fresh for the new adventure. I wore red leather pants with black boots, and I threw on a white shirt. My sword stayed on my waist band, and my hair was up in its usual style along with the black bandana that Ace gave me as a kid. I tucked my hair back, so the earring that Luffy gave me would be visible. Once I was ready, I went back on deck.

Zoro started to pull a rope that was attached to the mast to help doc at the port. However, the mast nearly broke in half at his effort.

"Holy crap! The Going Merry has gotten this rickety?" He panicked, which was a funny expression on the man since it wasn't his usual style.

I went with Luffy, Nami, and Usopp onto the doc where we rented a yagara to ride in the city. They were cute water creatures that pulled the boats around on all the canals.

The man we rented them from gave Nami a map of the city as well to help us out in our search for a bank. We planned on exchanging the gold for berries. I thought now would be a good time for me to do so as well.

"That's perfect." Luffy says, seeing the map in Nami's hands. "Once we get the money, we can go to the shipyard right away."

"Yeah. We can finally have the Going Merry repaired!" Usopp happily chimed in. It was hard to listen to since I already knew the verdict.
