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

Planning a Murder//Chapter 38

"It's finally night..."

"What's with the sudden drop in temperature?"

"That's normal. It can reach sub-zero temperatures in the desert at nighttime."

"WHAT!? Sub-Zero!?"

"Damn it... I hate the cold..."

"Is it because of the inner bird in ya?"

"...Yes."

"Over there! I think I see something!" Vivi pointed out.

"Are we finally here at Yuba!?" Sanji shouted in hope.

"I can't see with all this sand blowing in my face..." Luffy groaned annoyed.

"All this sand is getting in my feathers..! The cold is just making it worse!!" Faythe complained. Corbett dug into his bag and brought out a jet black jacket. He quickly placed it comfortably on Faythe's shoulder's.

"..Thanks.." Faythe dug her face into a scarf that was given with her robes. She wrapped his jacket closer to her body.

"Nothing your big brother can't do." Corbett patted her head and took her hand in his, walking a bit more closely to the group.

"What's that weird rumbling sound..?"

"...SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE TOWN!" Vivi called out in worry.

The crew saw a giant storm brewing above the town with a large tornado twisting right down in the middle.

"I CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT!" Faythe shouted out.

"IT'S A SANDSTORM!" Vivi warned, "YUBA'S BEING HIT BY A SANDSTORM!"

"For the love of..." Corbett smacked his forehead annoyed.

"She doesn't need to say it twice, I can clearly see the obvious.." Faythe pointed at the destructive force.

"I know right..?" Corbett leaned on Faythe's shoulder with a frown.

Walking up to the sand wasted town that Vivi had apparently said to be an oasis. Faythe was a bit disappointed at the town they had traveled so far for.

"Oh my god..." Vivi said in a shaky voice.

"Ya, oh my god this place is a waste." Corbett retorted, having the same disappointment as his sister.

"What a mess...! Frankly speaking there ain't much difference between here and that abandoned town Elumalu!" Zoro sighed, lugging around Usopp on on his shoulder.

"WHERE'S THE WATER!?" Luffy panted out.

"Wasn't this supposed to be an oasis town, Vivi?" Sanji asked looking around.

"Look at all this sand... It's swallowed the oasis up!" Vivi panted out dryly.

"Travelers, eh? ...Well then, you must be awfully tired." An old man in ragged desert robes was busy shoveling sand, "Sorry to tell you folks, this town's a little bit dried up right now."

"But you folks still ought to rest here for the night. We've got plenty of inns and rooms to spare... That's one of the tings Yuba's known for." The old man glanced up at them, his puffy mustache twitched some sand off as he went back to shoveling.

Faythe glanced back at Vivi and noticed her full up her robe to cover more of her face. She assumed Vivi didn't want to attract attention or its because she knows him, "Excuse me, but I heard the rebel forces were using this town as a base. Is that tr-" Vivi was interrupted by the old man's sudden outburst.
