"Gold!!"
"Gold!!"
"Gold!!"
"WE GOT GOLD!!"
Wyper stood beside Faythe with a blank look, "Is it always this chaotic on board...?"
Faythe muffled a giggle that wanted to erupt, "Indeed, but this is on the calm side."
"Calm..?" Wyper sweat dropped at the ruckus in front of him.
Luffy was wiggling around and raising his hands up high to make himself seem bigger, "We're rich!!! What should we buy? How about a big statue!? A super awesome one..." he trailed off in thought.
Usopp raised his arms up as well, "Idiot! That's a waste. We should buy canons!!"
Sanji was twirling around and dawning over Nami with his simping charm, "Miss Nami! May I buy a refrigerator that has a lock on it? Please??"
Chopper perked up and waddled over hurriedly, "Oh! Me, too! Me, too! I want to buy something, too! I want some medical books."
Zoro stared off to the side without a care, "I want rum."
Faythe raised a hand brightly, "I want another book to write in!!" She hollered out over the crowd of begging people.
Nami grabbed Chopper by the face and started switching his cheeks with one hand, "Hey. Hey. Hey. Quiet down... We will talk about our spending after we are back in Blue Seas. Though nobody is going to waste my money on trash. Okay!?"
"I want books~~~" Chopper muffled out.
Wyper raised a brow, "I'm sorry, did I hear her say 'my money'?"
Faythe patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry about it too much... She's like the bank on the ship and is in charge of our allowances."
Wyper hummed with a nod of understanding.
"EVERYONE, PLEASE LOOK TO THE FRONT WE ARE ALMOST AT THE EXIT." Conis called out from her and Pagaya's little waver boat, that drove at the side of the Going Merry, "I CAN SEE IT ALREADY."
Everyone made their way from the bottom deck to the front deck near the figurehead of the Going Merry.
Luffy sprawled over the head of the figure head like he had just deflated, "Awwww... We are leaving already??"
Sanji stood behind him with his hands on his hips, "Yeah. I am feeling... A little nostalgic already."
Zoro sat on the side rails with his legs crossed, "Yes. Time to say goodbye to this White-Sea..."
Chopper leaned over the railings with his legs dangling, "Sky Island was fun, but it was kind of scary..."
The ship edged closer to a large and grand arch that was quite different from Heaven's Gate. It looked more like a beach hotel arch with stone fish statues that were spitting out Cloud Sea. A small Cloud Sea stream leading the chosen ship in one direction. And on the side just Island Cloud.
Faythe crossed her arms with a big smile on her face, "Cloud's End... So we are getting down from there, Eh?"
Usopp came up on her other side since Wyper held her left side, "Do we just go through that tunnel... Then follow the Milky Road all the way down to the Blue Seas...?"
"Will we come back later?"
Faythe leaned on the rails to see Conis and Pagaya park their waver boat to the side and rush out to run along side the Going Merry on the Island Cloud that's on both sides.
"This is as far as we can accompany you..." Pagaya huffed out.
"Take care of yourself, Everyone!! Including you, Wyper!!" Conis laughed out with her arms waving above her head happily.
"I will! Make sure to get along with the boys and Laki!" He called out with a soft smile, "They're nice, I swear!"
"Thanks for taking us here!!"
"Thanks for everything!!"
"Conis-Chan, take care of yourself, too!!"
"CONIS, MISTER, AND SIRO, TAKE CARE!!!"
Pagaya hurried along the ship with his arms spread out, "Excuse me! You must put away your sail immediately!!!!"
"Hey! Everyone, do as the man said!! We may fly down really fast!!" Usopp ordered out.
"Roger that! It'll probably be like a 7000 meters runaway. Let's move!!"
"Okay!!"
"Move all the gold inside the cabinet!!"
"On it!!"
Wyper just sat down as he couldn't really do anything as he watched everyone scurry around the ship, "I thought that rubber man was the Captain...?"
Faythe stopped in her track carrying arm full of ropes, "Eh... Depends on the day and moment. At this point we're just trying to survive." She grinned and scurried off leaving the skypiean even more confused about the dynamics of the crew.
"CHOH~~~~~~~~!!!"
The crew stopped their movements to listen to what the hell that call was.
Faythe's eyes widened, "I know that queer call..."
"You do?" Wyper looked baffled.
"CHOH~~~~!!! CHOH~~~!!!"
"Huh?"
Then a bird suddenly barreled into Luffy knocking him off the figurehead and face planting into the deck, "CHO-Guh!!!"
"Wh... WHAT THE HELL!?" Usopp shouted at the scene.
Chopper sighed and translated for the South Bird, "He's saying 'Don't forget me here...'"
Wyper frowned at the bird, "It's so small compared to the ones I know off..."
"CHOH-!! CHOH-!!"
"Oh yeah... We took him along with us on our way up..." Nami then glanced down at the Log Pose on her wrist, "All~~ Right... Captain, it looks like the post has locked on to the next island..."
"Okay. This is the start of a brand new adventure!!" Luffy grinned, "Alright Crew... Let's... GO BACK TO THE BLUE SEAS!!!"
Everyone threw up their fists to the sky and shouted in sync, "YEAHHHHHH!!!"
"EVERYONE, BE CAREFUL. YOU ARE GOING TO START FALLING SOON!!"
Faythe whipped her head back with wide eyes, "Did she say, 'Fall?'"
"HOLY SHIIIIIIITTT-!!!!"
The whole crew was screaming for their lives as they all felt the weight in their stomachs fly up to their throats as they didn't even prepare to hang onto something.
The Ship went shooting down like a rocket as they all felt empty air beneath their feet.
Then out of nowhere a giant pink Octupus with purple splotches on its head came flying out like a predator lurking for prey hidden by the clouds.
"OH MY GAWD-!!"
"GIANT OCTUPUS-!!"
"A MONSTER!?"
Then out of nowhere the ship stopped dropping and everyone on the ship dropped to the deck with loud thuds.
"Ah!"
"Hm...?"
Faythe blinked the sore pain in her head away as she looked up to see the pink Octupus had latched onto the sides of the ship and it's head acted as a air balloon for the ship to slowly descent into the Blue Seas.
"WOW-!"
"Look!! Look!! This is so cool!!" Luffy called out already trying to touch its testicles that hooked the sides of the ship.
"Eh!?"
"It's a Octopaloon!" Wyper laughed out in relief.
"We slowed down quite a bit.."
"WHAT THE HELL!?"
"WOW!! THIS IS SO FUN!!"
"I... I was sure that we were goners, too..."
The sudden rings that cleared everyone's thought process at the moment as everyone looked up to the sky.
A smile was brought to everyone's face as they listened to the chimes of the great Shandorian Golden Bell.
"So this is what is sounds like..." Faythe sighed.
She blinked as the realization dawned on her, "FUCKIN HELL-!!!" She rushed off towards the cabin door and slammed it open.
"What is it!?"
"Did you forget something!?"
"Did your wounds open up!!"
Faythe turned to them with a pale face, "NO-!! None of that measly stuff!!"
At that, everyone looked at her confused, "Then what is it..?"
"I HAVE TO WRITE ALL THAT SHIT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH-!!!"
Robin was the first to erupt in laughter with Luffy following after along with everyone joining in.
"IT'S NOT FUNNY, YOU LITTLE SHITS!"
''𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐤𝐲...'

"WOOO HOOO~~!! This is so fun!!"
"Ah... I feel so happy...!!"
/:/~***~/:/
Staring up at the sky, Faythe was laying on her back, soaking wet, trying to catch her breathe.
Why?
Because the Octapaloon decided to lose air at the last second and send the Ship crashing straight into the Blue Seas without warning.
"God damn it..!!" Faythe strained to sit up as she began to help people up, "That fuckin hurt.."
Wyper was leaning over the rails with wide glossy eyes, "The sea... IT'S BLUE-!!" His face split into a bright childish smile, "It really is as they say... The Blue Seas...!"
Faythe couldn't help but chuckle at his kid like curiosity, "It's only going to get more crazy from here..." She then glanced around, "Is everyone safe??"
Sanji sat up and lit a new cigarette, "Well... That was... One magical trip."
"Now that we are back down..." Robin stared up at the sky with a smile, "That trip feels like a dream..."
Nami leaned back on the rails with her elbows propped, "That's because it really was a dreamy place..."
Chopper was just sprawled on the deck, "Heh... I wonder... If we will ever go back again..."
Zoro smirked playfully, "Maybe you will go there after you die. Or somewhere close... Heheh."
Faythe matched his smirk, "I'm sorry to say, but I don't think there's a pirate heaven for us on the seas." She chuckled at Usopp and Chopper's looks.
Luffy sighed, "All right!! Men drop the sails!! We're going to the next island!!"
"Already!?" Wyper choked on air.
"Hey, Luffy. Give us a short break. Will ya?"
Nami shook her head at their bickering, "Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. If you wanna rest whenever you want in this sea... Nobody would be afraid of it."
Wyper glanced over at Faythe, "What does she mean by that...?"
Faythe grinned, "We're in the Grandline. A sea full of abnormal weather and chaos happening at every corner of this place. There's never a full minute around here!" She placed her hands on her hips.
"Everyone move it!" Nami then glanced behind her to see something oncoming, a smile growing on her face, "Ah... See? Here it comes."
"UWAAAAAAHHH!!"
"FULL SPEED AHEAD---!!"
Faythe glanced over to see a massive wave incoming with just faces of sea monkeys peeking out of the tidal wave, "What the hell-!?" She cackled out as Wyper dragged her over to start helping the others around deck.
"IT'S A TSUNAMI-!!"
"THERE ARE GIANT MONSTERS IN THOSE WAVES!!!"
"LOOK! SEA MONKEYS!!"
/:/~***~/:/
Sitting in the ladies cabin, Faythe had been scrawling across a multitude of papers for the past hours as everyone began to socialize on deck. Her hair tied up into a messy bun as she had time to change out of her torn tank top and into some more lazy clothing.
Flicking up her reading glasses up her nose, Faythe sat back in her seat and crossed her legs so she'd read over her drafts, "No... This wouldn't sound write... How the hell do you explain that a golden ball around a rubber fist can counter and giant orb full of electron components that are swirling around in high speeds without making it too hard to read for the readers..."
She rubbed the temple of her head as she felt an oncoming headache, "Now that I'm rereading this... I'm now seeing all of the grammar and spelling mistakes..." She sighed out loud as she tossed the papers back on the desk to take sip of a cup of coffee, "Man writing a book is stressful..."
"Fluers."
Sudden massage on her shoulders made the red head blink away her drowsiness, "Hm..? Robin..?" She glanced over her shoulder to see two hands grow out of her back and relax her stiff shoulders. At the entrance of her door stood Wyper and Robin with either confused or concerned looks.
"Nami had called the crew for distributing the gold between the crew." Wyper said with furrowed brows at the large mess of ink and papers sprawled around her figure and desk.
Faythe sighed and stumbled out of her chair, "I was filling in the gaps of Luffy's fight with Enel but there are some missing details that I need to ask...." She stretched her arms out, earning her a few satisfying pops from her back.
Robin chuckled lightly at the sight and held out her hand, "Come now, we don't wanna test Miss Navigator's patience."
Wyper raised a brow at that, "She can actually be patient...?"
Faythe laughed out, "Yeah, but it's very short when the whole crew is around."
As they all reached the dining room, Faythe noticed they were the last ones to enter as they took a seat at the table.
"Alright~~!" Nami grinned, "Thank you for waiting. Now we will officially start distributing the loots!!! Each of these is worth a lot of money!!!" The gold that everyone collected was all piled up on the table.
"YEY!!!!"
"HURRAY! LET'S BUY A STATUE!! I WANT A STATUE!!"
"CAN I BUY BOOKS!!!?"
"New pots, new pans, new silverware, and a few mousetraps...."
"I'll be swimming in rum."
Nami then proceeded to take almost everything, "First things. My share is 80% of these."
Everyone except Robin and Faythe held out their hand towards the pile hurriedly, "Hold on a second...!!"
Wyper crossed his arms with a frown, "I don't even think that's 80%..." He deadpanned at the small measly jewels.
"I was just kidding!!!" Nami giggled innocently.
"YOU BETTER ME!!!"
"YOU HAVE TO SHARE EQUALLY!!!"
/:/~***~/:/
"Repair the ship? Going Merry?" Luffy blinked at the suggestion Nami stated.
"Yes." Nami sighed, "The ship is just barely holding together right now..."
"That's true..." He pouted for a moment, "Let's do a super upgrade for Going Merry!!"
"AGREE!!!"
"We don't know how much it will cost. So we'll distribute the loots later."
Zoro sat down and on Faythe's right side as he started to much down on one of the sandwiches, "We can't really rely on Usopp to fix everything... His repair-skills are quite limited."
Usopp dead panned at the swordsmen as he reached out to grab another sandwich, "I am a sniper. S-N-I-P-E-R!!"
Sanji held a plate out to Robin with a hand on his hip, "Hm... Let's go to a shipyard... A professional one, and get everything fixed up."
Wyper sat on Faythe's left as he sipped the glorious tea that was served, "A shipyard...? Like the ones that are in the Upper Yard?"
Faythe snickered at his conclusion and remembered the dismembered ships and galleons, "No, not that kind. It's more of a place where people get their ships fixed up and repaired. Hopefully we can find a pirate friendly island to do such thing."
Chopper perked up from nibbling on his onigiri, "Eh? There are people who can fix the ship better than Usopp can?"
Usopp took a sip of his steaming tea, "Some to think of it. The ship has been sailing... Without major repairs ever since we left my village. We should really it looked at, big time. Otherwise we may sink before we know it."
"Ok. I've decided." Luffy stood up in his seat, fixing his straw hat, "Our next Crew member will be... A ship-repairman!!"
The whole crew quieted down as they listened.
"If our journey is to continue... We will need such a person." Luffy grinned, "Going Merry is our home. It's our lifeline! We need to find someone who can keep it in good shape!!"
Sanji and the rest stared in bafflement, "Did he just..."
Zoro looked even more taken back, "Yes... He did say those intelligent things..."
Wyper crossed his arms, "That's the first time I didn't hear any bill shit come out of his mouth."
Faythe wheezed, "He can be intelligent-!?"
"THAT'S WHAT YOUR FOCUSING ON!?" Usopp and Nami called out.
"ALRIGHT!! IT'S DECIDED THEN!"
"YUP! IT'S DECIDED."
"Hopefully we will find someone like that soon..."
"OH! WE ALSO NEED A MUSICIAN, BY THE WAY!!!"
"I SECOND THAT NOTION!!"
"Uh, no. Let's shelve that idea for now..."
"EH!?"
