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

MR. BROOK!?//Chapter 71

{It's the moment y'all been waiting for~}

Swinging peacefully from her floating nest, a redhead lay nestled in a pile of lush pillows that were chosen for her comfort. Her small little globe abode was stationed at the very top of the ship, granting anyone a seat of a view of the entire ship and its habitats.

A knock echoed from her from her room's floor hatch, "My lady, are you still napping?"

Stretching her legs out from over the ledge, Faythe sat up with her hair in a disarray. The puff of curls circled around her like a mane. She rubbed her eyes tiredly as she watched Wyper open up and climb up into her room, all the while holding some snacks for her, "What's happening...? I can hear Luffy and Usopp hollering from all the way up here..." She tried untangling her hair with her fingers lazily but ended up getting her fingers caught up in the mess anyways.

Wyper sighed and made his way over, dropping the snacks on a nearby stand that was situated near her floating nest, "They caught a massive shark and put it in the aquarium with the other fish..."

Faythe laughed, "I'm guessing the shark ate all the other fish." She sat still as Wyper held up a comb started to fix her hair into some type of tied up hairstyle.

"Precisely, my lady." Wyper smiled as he held up a mirror for her to see her now braided hair.

"They're probably deciding to eat the fat shark. The bloke had his days numbered as soon as he tried something so foolish!" She chirped happily as she swung her feet up and jumped off the nest with ease, "Well. Nothing wrong with that. It'll make us full of our stomachs twice as much!" She tapped her chin in thought as she peered out from her glass window walls. Her eyes watching the serene waterscape. The sea of all shades blues.

Wyper stood beside her with a smile, feeling most content with staying by her side, "Then that's one good thing those idiots accomplished." He huffed—wings unfurling out into a stretch to ease their stiffness.

"No need to be so hard on them." Faythe smiled as soon as her eyes caught sight of Luffy and Usopp playing chase out on the main deck.

"It's never my intention." Wyper rolled his eyes, quickly catching sight of something out in the distant waves that sailed towards their ship, "My lady."

Faythe hummed at his distraction and turned to see what he was looking at, "Oh!" Her eyes brightened up, "Let me go notify the crew that we have a stray barrel!"

/:/~***~/:/

As soon as the crew gathered together on the main deck, with the help of Zoro and Wyper they pulled the barrel up aboard.

"What is it!?"

"A barrel!? Look! It's got 'treasure' written on it!!"

Luffy jumped over closer, "Could it be!? Something dropped by a 'treasure ship'!?"

"TREASURE!?" Chopper was held up by Faythe in excitement, while Usopp hugged her from behind.

Nami cut them off, "Doesn't look like it. Probably some alcohol or reserves."

The excited trip fell to the ground in one big slump, "No treasure...??"

Luffy immediately jumped in front of the trio, "HOW CANE WE TELL WITHOUT LOOKING!?"

Nami looked at her Captain as if she were talking to a three year old, "It says 'Sea Gods Houzen' on it, right? That's a 'Floating Barrel.' Someone was praying for a safe voyage. So they made an offering to the Guardian Deities of the Sea. 'Houzen' means 'To the Gods.'" She explained with a smile.
