rainsometimesAnother short One Piece fic.
Title: Up
Word count: 315
Setting/spoilers: Set towards the end of the Jaya arc and manga volume 25.
Characters: Luffy
This is all in the manga already, isn't it? Yes, pretty much.
It was the day they’d left the desert kingdom behind, when they’d lost Vivi and gained Robin and been awesomely saved from marines by Bon Clay. They’d managed to get away out to open sea and Robin had just turned out to be real funny.
All of a sudden a huge big ship had tumbled down from above, full of cool things like skeletons and swords and suits of armour; and then the log pose was pointing upwards and it turned out there was an island in the sky.
An ISLAND IN THE SKY.
Wasn’t that about the coolest thing you’d ever heard of?
Oh, all right, so there were other really cool things, like the One Piece and Atlas and Hercules beetles. And stuff. But it was certainly the coolest new thing he’d heard of!
How could anyone not want to go somewhere like that, more than anything?
How could anyone not be willing to risk life and limb and ship and hat and food for just a chance of getting to a sky island? Especially since he’d found the map and everything! That meant they had to go, right?!
It would be such an awesome adventure. The dream island that the dreams of dreams dream of!!
So you yelled at Nami for a bit and she yelled right back and gave you a few lumps but eventually she figured out something you could do in order to get there, as you’d known she would. And now they were going to go south in the rebuilt Going Merry to find that Mystery Knock-Up Stream and reach the clouds, or die trying. But after all the help Diamond-Guy and the ape-guys had given them, they weren’t going to let them down it by letting themselves get smashed into tiny bits!
What was there to think about? There was nothing to think about.
All you had to do was to haul anchor, set sail, follow the southbird, and go!!
