Captain's Parrot (Oc x One Piece) Book 2

Wyper's Patience!//Chapter 69

"Hurry!! Take the sails!!" Franky hollered over the whizzing cannonballs that flew by.

"Hey, are you sure, Franky!?"

Franky began dancing around, hyping up his vessel, "STUPID BASTARD!! Trust in the ship!!"

Chopper, Usopp, and Luffy hooked arm to arm and joined in a line dance, "That's right! Trust it, bastard!!"

Wyper had looked on at the scene from Faythe's side, "Would you look at that. He's already becoming a terrible influence." He chuckled. But when he turned to Faythe, his laughter died down to a frown.

The red head was watching with a distant look, her face twisting into happiness and a distant outlook. From his perspective it was something he needed to get rid of as soon as possible. It was her indecisiveness whether to welcome her brother figure back or continue to act cold because of the lack of trust between them.

Just because he joined the crew, doesn't mean their friendship had healed. To her, being a crew member and friend are two different things. She had said this a repetitive amount of times to Usopp and Robin to drive it into their thick skulls that she was someone they could still depend on even if they were to go seperate paths. And one of them had finally been enlightened and accepted her deep bond and feelings. Now it was up to him to make the other realize her efforts. And man he can't wait to awaken him from his small naive little life again.

Faythe turned away and flew up towards the sails to adjust them, "Let's hurry, Wyper." She addressed with a very toned down smile.

Wyper watched her wings spread out from her arms and caught a falling feather that fell from her launch to the air. It reminded him that he had been granted the honor of preening her messy feathers, but... Even when he asked to give her a nice relaxing day of self care, she put it off for another day in order focus more on her writing. Saying the excuse that she needed to catch up on the mountain of events.

But to be honest, it feels like she hesitant to start something without someone present. And he had a feeling who it was in general and it pissed him off on how she would throw her wings' self care out the window for someone's sake of presence alone. To him, and the people back up in Skypiea. A person's wings are a sign of how well off one person is.

To the Shandorian's in his tribe and others in the distant other sky islands, the wings that were gifted to them are practical gifts and are well taken care of, no matter how hard a battle they go through. Some even boast their strength through how much one's wings are bigger than the others. It shows how much closer they are spiritually to the Arcus they are in fighting spirit.

So seeing his Lady's—no— this young girl's wings so damaged and unpreened just makes it look like the group around her is outcasting her in the flock—crew. Even if they don't notice—heck probably she herself doesn't know this unspoken law and culture, it still makes his blood boil to no end.

Wyper turned away with clenched fists, his wings fidgeting in aggravation, "Bunch of idiots." He started climbing up the stairs to help with the second mast of sails.

Zoro was running by the dancing group with a baffled look, "Help out, you guys!!"

Nami watched as well with a a nervous sweat, "Usopp, until a second ago, you were... Oh well..."

Chopper blinked at the suggestion that Franky brought up, "What!? The name of the ship!? At a time like this!?"

Franky nodded while throwing a chained fist at a cannon aimed at the side, "Yup. You can't really sail off with the positive vibe unless the ship has a name."

"Liiiiike, something lion?" Luffy asked with furrowed brows. But thinking wasn't really so he gave up pretty quickly and just started spouting the first thing that comes to his empty head, "ALL RIGHT!! I THOUGHT UP A STRONG SOUNDING BAME!! BEAR!! POLAR BEAR!! LION!!"
