This Candy Island or what ever it's called is nice. And it's good to know where it's located on the map I'm working on, but I'm not sure ho often I would want to come here. I got to thinking about it. Why don't people come here more to collect candy for shops? What if it's enchanted to look good? But it's really not. . .

I think I'm done with candy for a while. And sugar. I didn't even eat that much.

But I have a question. As a Navigator back home I was wondering if anyone would be interested in telling me where they have been and what the islands were like.

Anyone have details of their adventures?

[Marco is....]

[Insane.]

[And kind of rolling around.]

[In phoenix form.]

[So his voice is going to sound extra weird.]

[Also only come out in bird.]

[And not especially coherently at that.]

I have maaaaaaps.

On the ship.

Sooooomewhere.

[Good job Marco.]

[Voice]

[bepobear]

[Oh hey that's some squawking. He can understand some animals, birds and such too. But can he understand Phoenix's?]

[Unsure of what he heard he leaned into his journal to speak softly...]

Say again?

[AKA: Your choice if you'd like him to understand phoenix or not :D. Either way he's a little confused right now...]

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

[Probably!!!]

[Even if it's messed up.]

Maps-maps-maps-maps-maps-maps.

[DEEP BREATH SO HE STOPS CHIRPING FOR TWO SECONDS.]

I have some.

On my ship.

We can share.

Will make you copies?

[Voice]

[bepobear]

S-slow down. [He's raising his paws to the journal like he could be seen or something.]

Who is this? Sure, I'd love to see your maps, but who am I... ah, talking to?

[that's some hyper active bird]

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

MAAAARCO!

I'm Marco, yoi!

Marco!

WAR-PHOENIX!

SLAYER OF FLOWERS!

Spade-uh-something.

[Marco no.]

[allendsmeat]

Mmm Bepo...

[he was taking a nap and had a bad dream though he can't remember it. He was looking for someone and Bepo was the first person he found]

What're you doin'?

action

[bepobear]

[and Bepo closed his journal, blinking as he was interrupted. Oh... just Sleepy Luffy]

Asking others where they've been. I was wondering if anyone had been here before. Why are you awake?

action

[allendsmeat]

I had a bad dream.

[rubs his eye and yawns, sitting beside Bepo and then resting his head on the table, looking up at him.]

Here? Candy Mountain?

action

[bepobear]

[awww, he frowned at that, moving over so Luffy can sit near him easier. He reached a paw out to pet Luffy's head, deep voice talking carefully...] Yeah, Candy Island... Mountain, whatever. Bad dream?

[he's more curious about that now.]

action

[allendsmeat]

[the paw on his head feels good and makes him smile. It's heavy and warm and he moves a bit closer to Bepo]

Don't remember. [doesn't want to.]

[and then he sighs again]

Smokey left. [and some others did, too but...] It feels bigger.

[Voice]

[song_princess]

Bepo! My lord Bepo! It brings my heart joy to hear from you again!

[Voice]

[bepobear]

[Higher pitched sounding voice, all happy to hear her again!!!]

Hello! It's good to hear from you again. Are those idiots treating you right over there?

[Voice]

[song_princess]

They have been treating me well, learning how to be a better healer as well as learning how to cook. You, my friend? How have the Strawhats been treating you?

[Oh yeah, the point of his post in the first place.] It may seem odd but somehow.... We have found an island that is my home forest. It's not it exactly but it still is my home.

[Voice]

[bepobear]

Good. Good. Luffy's brother doesn't seem too bad. Try to get him not to eat bears though. I'm going to bite him someday if he tries. [or, well, no, he wont. But still!]

Straw Hatter is being... reasonable. We're at an island of pure candy and cake and sweets. So it's a bit hyper around here.

[he's smiling though. Can you hear it in his voice?] Like the island feels like home?

Re: [Voice]

[song_princess]

I will make sure to peck him if he tries to eat you. He is good for a beorc though for a while it seemed like he didn't like me. [She giggles at his words.] With his gift to Luffy, I don't think my crew would mind if you did bite him.

..... An island made of candy and sweets? [She wants to go there. Even for just one day.] ....Luffy isn't doing anything more.... Strange has he since coming to the island?

[Yes, she can hear it and she goes to laugh.] Yes, though it is of my home. But.... Most of the crew hates it..... [So she doesn't think she will be able to come back to Serenes.] It's a forest with healing properties.

My crew once went to an island where the catfish sang everything.

written;

[bepobear]

Singing catfish?

[interesting...]

Did they swim, or walk on land? Was there anything else there with them? That's kind of neat.

written;

[melodyssong]

Yep. It was quite fun to sing alone with them.

They walked on land, I never noticed if they swam to or not, but they would pur on performances of shows and plays from earth, but in musical form.

written;

[bepobear]

Wow. That's really interesting! Sounds a bit better then a island full of sweets too. Do you know where in the world you guys were? What crew are you with?

written;

[melodyssong]

It probably is. I mean sweets are great and all, but too many can cause a lot of problems. At least with singing fish it won't give you stomach ache.

At the moment we're currently heading back to the main island people go to monthly, check on new commoners and hope to get one to join. You know the usual.

My crew is called Queen's Gambit, which is what our previous captain named the ship. We don't have an official crew name technically.

[You had him at candy.]

About how many days travel is it to this Candy Island from Isle Empieza? If there's such a place, then it's definitely somewhere I need to go.

[Written]

[bepobear]

[Man, a few days ago candy would have sold him too, but he’s so off it now]

I’m not positive. We didn’t go from there to here, but I’d say... a few days, or, weeks. Gimmie a bit and I can figure it out for you. Or at least get you the coordinates...

[willwork4sugar]

I'll take anything I can get.

[....pun not intended.]

[bepobear]

[A few minutes later, a whole list of information is written down and sent. Location as he knows it, from this island or that. And estimation from IE, the currents and problems they might have ran into, Navy patrol warnings, and a note about...]

...and come with a song. Not sure how that works, but apparently you have to sing to find it. I actually wasn't paying attention to that part.

[willwork4sugar]

[Oh, this is good. He'll probably do a little more looking into information but this is a good start- ]

Wait. A song? What?
