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

The Witch.//Chapter 22

While boarding the island, Sanji handed Faythe to Luffy, as he went to retrieve the main VIP. Now hanging limply on Luffy's shoulder, Faythe could barely hear what the villager's were talking about, but only the people around her. They were now grudging through mounds of snow, all the trees looking the same.

"This country, has no name as of yet." The leader of the group stated glancing at the pirate group.

"A nameless country? Is that even possible?" Vivi said slowly.

GYAAAAAAAA! IT'S A BEAAAAAAAAR! EVERYONE PLAY DEAD!" Usopp screeched in Faythe's pitiful ear. A tall white bear was standing on it's hind legs, using a cane to trudge through the snow.

"Don't worry, that's a hiking bear, it poses no danger, but mind your hiking manners and don't forget to bow." The leader finished, dipping his head in a bowing manner to the bear, who indeed bowed back. Faythe numbly bowed forward, along with the rest of the people traveling with them.

Earning herself a headache, she left out a heavy sigh, gaining Luffy's attention.

"You okay?" Luffy whispered nervously.

"No... My head hurts.. And I can't feel my right wing..." She drawled out, feeling nautious. Her vision getting worse, the burning sensation where the bullet phased through, it felt like fire was set on that one spot. Making her recoil her injured wing to her side more tightly.

"Let's just hurry up and find this witch..." She turned to look at her Captain, but he was silently staring at her bullet wound. It's time like this when Faythe wants to know what he's thinking. Hopefully not regretful or guilty about this.

Following the leader into a small village, bricked houses with orange roofs lined the streets. Strange animals fulling luggage and people. Faythe saw a strange Ram with a shaved bottom, his tail was so fluffy looking. Farther down the street she saw a huge hippo looking ride? It was layered in wool and fur, it probably evolved to adapt in such a cold island.

"They got some weird animals walking around." Luffy muttered, sheik ding his eyes from the sun rays.

"I wonder if there are any birds around here..." Faythe muttered, glancing around.

"A real snow country for sure!" Usopp shouted beside Luffy and Faythe.

"Nami, It's a town! We're finally at a town full of people!" Sanji cheered, carrying Nami, piggyback.

The leader turned to the group of men that was traveling with him, "Good work everyone. Those that aren't on guard duty can now return to their normal jobs."

So Faythe's assumption was right, they weren't used to holding guns, they were just civilians.

"You sure, you can handle all of'em yourself, Dalton? They are pirates." One of the men commented. The leader now known as Dalton shook his head with a smile.

"They should pose no harm. Or at least, that's what my reliable gut instinct tells me." He replied, reassuring them.

"...This Country doesn't have professional soldiers, does it?" Vivi stated, watching the men retreat back to their houses.

"No they're all normal citizens." Dalton said, "For the time being, come to my house."

A tall rounded woman came down the street and started walking passed them.
