"𝕎hat a day! It's gorgeous!" Luffy cheers from his perch on the boat excited at the prospect of recruiting another member of his crew.
Liliana on other hand is wary about the whole thing. It was understandable why Luffy was excited, however, that shouldn't mean they shouldn't be cautious. After waking up from her power nap, she was promptly informed of Luffy's plan which launched into another argument between the two. However, in the end, she can never manage to convince him otherwise. Curse the family genes, she grumbled in her head. So now they were headed to investigate a potential recruit and probably break out a one Mr Roronoa Zoro, a famed pirate hunter from a Marine base.
As one can clearly tell, Liliana was most displeased at the prospect.
Koby smiles at the two whilst fishing for some food for the trio. "As long as we stay on this heading, we should reach the Marine base in no time at all."
"Wow, Koby! You're great out here! Do you mean that we are actually going to reach the base we originally set out for?" Luffy grins excitedly, while Liliana sighs. She's done that a lot on this journey.
"Of course, it's nothing. I'm just using the skills that every sailor should have," Koby says. I should probably start learning these skills, Liliana thinks in her head, wondering if Koby would be ok to teach her.
"Well thank you, Koby, for helping us." Liliana smiles at Koby, always ever gentle. Koby blushes in response from his seat and nods sheepishly in appreciation. Luffy laughs, confidence beaming from every pore knowing that it's going to be a great day.
Koby sweatdrops at Luffy's excitement at what they are about to accomplish. "I honestly don't know what you're so giggly about," Koby expressed with dread in his tone, "Because at the Marine base they are holding the great pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro. This is the man that diced up his bounties like an animal bent on carving. A bloodthirsty beast. He's been called nothing less than a living breathing demon in human form."
"Oh yay," Liliana says with a deadpan expression.

In the light of the sizzling midday sun they finally arrived at Marine Base City. The holding place of the infamous Pirate Hunter Zoro. Approaching the island, Liliana can see three or four towering blue buildings with the word Marines emblazoned onto the side as a warning to all pirates and criminals alike. Situated around the base were quaint civilian buildings built upon the hills, no doubt protected by the Marines.
