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

A Step into Danger//Chapter 86

Faythe leaned back on the gondola with her arms held out towards Usopp who started to bandage them up, "I'm no doctor like Chopper, but this is the only thing I can do for those first degree burns..." Usopp frowned while his eyes filled with concern.

Faythe let out an aggravated sigh, "If I knew we were fighting a lightning user, then I wouldn't have worn those conductors..."

Usopp rubbed his head and started applying some burn crème that he had nabbed into his bag, "Yeah... It's not your fault. We did know we were going to fight God in the first place.."

Faythe let out a laugh at that, "This is gonna be something in our little adventure book!" She swung her head back as it laid down on the cushions of the boat.

"Oh yeah, Fae, How's the book coming along?" Luffy glanced back briefly.

Faythe tilted her head to the side as she thought to how many pages she had left, "If I wanna make it not too long, then I might have make a series!"

"A series, huh? I bet that'll be a collection. Seeing how many crazy stunts this guy pulls us into...!" Sanji laughed, pointing a thumb back at his Captain, "When do you think your first book would end at?"

Faythe drummed her fingers along the rope on the gondola, "I'm thinking of ending it after we fight God... Maybe after learning some more things about the Arcus from these Guerrilla people..."

"That's probably the smartest thing to do." Usopp rubbed his chin, his eyes then trailed back to the port behind them, "Will Conis be alright?"

"Well, that strange Mister didn't look like a bad guy."

Sanji sat down on the cushioned sides, "We have no choice but to trust him. I'd protect her... But we can't bring her with us."

Luffy started grumbling in annoyance, "This thing is so slow!!!"

Sanji glanced to the front from where he sat, "This boat is a few times heavier than a waver. It can't be helped!" He gave his Captain a pointed look, "Don't be so picky!"

Faythe gapped at the sight in front of them, at the end of the exiting island cloud bridge, their laid a towering jungle that was dense with undergrowth, "Holy... SHIT-!!"

Usopp's mouth dropped, "Hey, look...!!! What's that!? That gigantic forest..."

Luffy whooped in excitement, "COOL~~~!! Is there a forest like that on the map?"

Usopp sat back and pulled out the worn out map, "Not really... There's a forest, but it's not specially marked..." His brows furrowed, "It's just a normal."

Faythe whistled out, "Yeah, because this is normal."

Sanji let out a sigh, "The guy who had that map was here over 200 years ago, right? And it was probably an old map even then... It probably took more than 1000 years for these trees to grow so big!"

Luffy awed at the sight, "I want to climb one..."

Faythe sighed, "Me too, Cap. Me too." Her then trailed to the front to see these towering lit skeleton posts with shields and spears mounted threateningly. They had to be half the size of these trees.

"It's the entrance...!!!"

"This'll probably be our last chance to go back... Are you prepared, Usopp?"

"Eh? Then if we could, I'd like to go back..."

"TOO LATE—!!" Faythe grabbed Usopp by one arm and Luffy held the other, "LETS GO!!!"

"You're not even listening to me!!" He spluttered.

As they passed the towering posts, varied sizes of Vearth statues lined the sides. The lighting from the lit posts only made a spooky effect, which in turn, made Usopp make a funny face.
