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

Bow your head.//Chapter 21

Faythe was sitting on the rails, watching Carue and Usopp help rebuild the eaten side of the ship.

"I still want to know what the hell all that was about..." Usopp muttered, holding multiple wooden planks.

"Hm?" Sanji hummed out, still keeping lookout from the crow's nest. His plate of snacks and cup of hot chocolate now empty, after he swooned about when Faythe brought it to him, last night.

"You know, those guys from yesterday. I mean, I've never even heard of a Pirate called Wapol, but he had a ship that no mere no-name pirate could get!" Usopp exclaimed, thinking back at how the ship could go underwater.

"Wapol..? Was that his name?" Faythe tilted her head.

"Whatever, don't pay any mind to him anymore.." Sanji paused remembering how they pleaded to be remembered, while sailing away to find their 'Wapol' guy. It was a hilarious scene for Faythe to not put it in her story.

"Just a bunch of idiots. Nothing more, nothing less." Sanji rolled his eyes, "More importantly... Don't you think it's been pretty cold every day for awhile?" He asked, leaning down to look at Usopp.

"Yeah, I guess now that you mention it." Usopp sighed, hammering away at a nail, "It's probably just another bizarre aspect to the Grand Line..."

"I don't like the cold..." Faythe muttered.

"Oh ya, you've lived a summer type island huh? Plus your a parrot so I think your not very well adapted to the snow huh?" Usopp glanced at Faythe's Parrot form, shivering, her feathers puffed and ruffled.

"Stay there for a bit.." Faythe muttered, flying over to him. She landed in his hood, making herself comfortable.

"No, It's proof that we're close to an island. Sanji, watch carefully for land on the horizon." Vivi came out of the cabin from checking on Nami.

"Vivi?" Sanji looked down to see who said that.

"There must be a 'Winter island' nearby." Vivi explained.

"Winter island?" Sanji rubbed his chin thinking.

"In terms of climate, the islands of Grand Line can be classified into 4 types. Summer island, Spring island, Autumn island, and Winter island. And each of these 4 islands generally have 4 seasons of their own." Vivi gave more detail.

Faythe just remembered how Sanji joined their crew, he never grew up on an island, but a floating restaurant on sea. It really was just a huge Pirate ship that was turned into a restaurant. He never really experienced the seasons, so this must be new to him.

"In short, In order to survive sailing across the Grand Line, you should be able to endure all 16 types of seasons, from the summer of summer island, all the way to winter of winter island. Of course there are exceptions and unknown climates." Vivi finished her explanation.

"I see... so the reason why the Grand Line has such unpredictable climate, is due to being trapped between all these islands, each with their own distinct climate.." Usopp summarized, already half way done with the side. Carue took a break and started to sip on his little bottle.

"Exactly. That's why climate stabilization signals the presence of an island nearby...!" Vivi pointed out.

"All this sounds so terrible... I don't like that..." Faythe sniffled, burying herself deeper into Usopp's hood. Earning her a hum from Usopp as he continues fixing the ship.

"Your right, I can see land up ahead!" Sanji looked through the binoculars, "LAND AHOY!"

At that Faythe waited for her Captain to come outside, It took him a moment. Probably because he was inside checking on Nami.
