[The start of what looks like a grocery list abruptly cuts off as 1) Sanji gets...distracted, and 2) he remembers this isn't just scrap paper and other people will see it. Shit. He skips further down the page.]




So...how many of you guys getting ready to set sail actually know what the hell to do once you're out at sea?

And how many of you stocked up properly, fucking hell.

Don't know what else you could do instead. Some of the other customers at the inn we've been staying in have been glaring our way the past day or two. Not sure any of us are going to be able to hang around here much longer.

[There's a long pause before he writes this next thing in big, attempting to be happier...? looking writing.]

I'm sure you'll be fiiiine!

[WRITING]

[notsokillerwhale]

What have you been doing?

[ Maybe he's talking to a suspicious person if they're getting in trouble by the inn? Though this place isn't exactly normal. ]

That's not very reassuring.

[WRITING]

[serving_love]

Me? [Kind of a long pause, before—] Nothing! I've been a gentleman ever since we got here! Perfect shitty manners and all.

[It's not his fault his captain is a loud idiot who breaks stuff all the time!]

Well, I tried.

[WRITING]

[notsokillerwhale]

[ He doesn't believe you in the least but he's not going to say anything about it. ]

...I appreciate it but once my friends get past the idea of getting a boat, I think it would probably make sense to find a way home instead.

[WRITING]

[serving_love]

What if the way home is out on the ocean?

[WRITING]

[notsokillerwhale]

...that would figure.

[ INTERNAL MAKOTO ]

[WRITING]

[serving_love]

[lollll...poor, poor Makoto.]

Heh, did you see the fountain in town?

[WRITING]

[notsokillerwhale]

...yeah, what about it?

Was this the fountain with the mermaid in it?

[WRITING]

[serving_love]

That's the one.

It had some interesting crap written on it about some shitty jewel. No idea if it's related to the other ghostly asshole's treasure, but it mentioned something about granting wishes...I think. I wrote it down somewhere -- anyway.

You might want to check it out.

[WRITING]

[notsokillerwhale]

I put the mermaid back in the ocean, haha. Hope that's okay! [ Makoto doesn't really want to piss off another ghost pirate. ]

Granted wishes? Really? A jewel?

[ He's not writing shitty jewel, you potty mouth. ]

[WRITING]

[serving_love]

[SORRY IF HIS LANGUAGE OFFENDS YOU MAKOTO GOSH.]

Hang on—

[There's a slight pause while he finds the scrap paper he wrote the poem down on.]

"Rebuild the gem and whatever you wish will be."

Is what it said. Well, except they used ye but that's stupid. Apparently it was shattered or something.

[WRITING]

[notsokillerwhale]

[ It doesn't OFFEND him, he's just not going to use it! ]

Do you plan on putting it back together for a wish? Maybe we could work together?

[WRITING]

[serving_love]

If the wish isn't a load of shit and could maybe get us home...?

Then yeah. I guess my crew will be looking for the pieces. Think you'd be interested in doing the same?

[WRITING]

[notsokillerwhale]

That's what I was going to wish for, don't worry! Where is your home, by the way?

That would be helpful! I'd love to work together!

[WRITING]

[serving_love]

On a ship sailing the Grand Line, currently. Before that I was living at a seafaring restaurant called the Baratie.

Alright, awesome. We'll have to keep each other posted!

[WRITING]

[notsokillerwhale]

You were already sailing on a ship? Are you sure you didn't lose your way and end up here?

Thank you very much, this is very reassuring!

[WRITING]

[serving_love]

Nah, I wasn't on the ship before ending up here. We'd docked at this place and were fighting some asshole...

We lost. Apparently. But in the middle of the battle I got hit and just—ended up here. Somehow. Some of my crew mates are here, too, but they're from the future or some shit, so I guess the bright side is that we don't all die in that fight!

Sure, no problem. Gotta stick together.

[WRITING]

[notsokillerwhale]

[ It's not that he's dismissing everything you said, he just sort of picked up EXTRA on one part. ]

From the future? Time travel too?

This place has it all...

[WRITING]

[serving_love]

Yeah, I guess??? It's really fucking weird. I don't think any of us are actually from the same, you know, moment, but some of the others are from two shitty years after I am!

[WRITING]

[notsokillerwhale]

Have you asked about your future self at all? I'd be curious about that kind of thing.

[WRITING]

[serving_love]

A little. Some of the others have been sketchy about details, but I sound like I'm pretty badass.

[WRITING]

[notsokillerwhale]

So does that mean you don't die here or does that mean you don't die wherever you are from? What kind of future are they coming from?

[WRITING]

[serving_love]

As far as I know, my future self was never in this place.

...Which is fucking confusing and makes my head hurt, so. Don't know! Whatever future they're from, they've all just spent two years training to get stronger. They must be going up against some pretty strong assholes.

[WRITING]

[notsokillerwhale]

Is your future self there too? Why don't you ask him?

That's good that your friends are so strong! They must have been working really hard!

[WRITING]

[serving_love]

Nah, he ain't here. That'd be...weird.

Yeah...means I've got some catching up to do, though.
