Voice (Much much later on Day 1. Near nightfall)

[there is a brief hesitation...and you might hear the faint 'yohoho' laugh of a certain skeleton in the background. and then a serious voice]

Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky, and anyone else whose decided to come with us. We're waiting at the inn with the rooster on the outside. Come by as soon as you can. We're going to set sail.

[Flipping through his shitty journal thing in annoyance since Luffy just totally hung up on him—is that even what you would call it? Whatever. When he suddenly turns to a blank page only to have the book talk at him in Luffy's voice again, he can't help jumping a bit. Geez, he's probably going to have to get used to that. And...huh, cool, words appear on the page as Luffy says them. That's useful.

Wait, he's mentioning the others. He's mentioning all of them, and he can hear Brook's shitty laugh in the background, are they all here??]

Luffy! You found everyone??

Oh, Sanji! [it's good to hear his voice, even from a book. He rests his chin against it, watching the words flow past]

I've only found Brook. And Keimi. [he wants to see the others too. All of them. He prods at the edges of the book and says somewhat sadly]

Na, I looked for you. Are you sure you weren't eaten?

Ah, you found Keimi-chan? Good, I ran into her earlier!

[Pauses, then speaks exasperatedly.]

And no, I definitely wasn't eaten. Especially not by some shitty book.

Okay. We're waiting. Take your time but hurry up!

And bring meat! And cheese! And more meat! Don't forget! Come on, Sanji! Let's GOOOO!

[Gives a short laugh.]

Don't worry, I'd never show up without dinner, at least. And some extra shitty groceries. Although—it's not like we've got a ship to store 'em on.

[Except then it occurs to him that Luffy's been running around for awhile now, possibly without any supervision—the horror.]

...Do we?

Not yet. I was waiting for everyone to show up.

[a pause and you'll hear a bone cracking between his teeth]

But we do have a Katara, Sokkaboom, and Pinkie

[yep]

[Recognizes that crunching sound. >|]

Oi, stop trying to eat bones, you idiot, I'll cook when I get there!

[lol maybe, not like any establishment would just randomly let him use the kitchen.]

...We have a what now?

Katara is really cool. She can make snowballs! And Sokkaboom is a boomerang and Pinkie... [a moment of hesitation and then a laugh] is Pinkie.

...

.....She?

[Doesn't even hear the rest of what Luffy says. :|]

[Another laugh. He's missed you, Sanji. He doesn't get you. But he's missed you] Yeah. Katara and Pinkie. You'd like them. [because they are awesome]

[Oh, there's two. Sanji's heart flutters a bit. Ahhh, if only his other two lovlies were here, as well...

Which reminds him.]

Oh, right—guess who I found?

Don't tell me! Don't tell me! Bring them here!

[he wants a surprise!]

[He grins, not that Luffy can see it.]

Alright, alright. We'll be over soon, okay? On the way!

Shishishi Okay! [all the excite!]

[Robin hated having the world wide open in front of her and feeling trapped at the same time. The message that morning was clear enough- go, travel the sea. Seek out the shards. But she didn't dare move, not yet. Crocodile had outright asked her to join him. The former Whitebeard Commander didn't seem averse to the idea either. Both would be formidable on the seas, capable enough captains that could get her from one place to another.

But...

Well, there was also Keimi to consider. A point in favor of Marco, given what little history she could assume he had with Fishman Island. Most points were in favor of Marco, truth be told. The only thing Crocodile had going for him was that he was, to some extent, a known factor.

Even so...

There should have been word. Or noise. It was no use hoping they were here. They would have made themselves known by now.

Robin sighed, and sat up from the sloped rooftop she'd been resting on, hidden where few could see from below but not sequestered. Not cornered. She flipped through the strange journal, its pages filling with conversations and drawings until-

It spoke.

In Luffy's voice.

Robin needed no further prompting. Smiling brighter than she had all day, she snapped the book closed, leapt off the rooftop, and made her way to the inn as quickly as she could.]

That's really impressive! Having that many friends so fast! [A pause] Or are you from this place??

They are my nakama from where I'm from.

Wow, so many of them are here! You're really lucky!

I don't know if they're all here or not but... Yeah, I'm really lucky.

Straw-Hat, what's the last thing you remember?

[You know. A normal person would have started off with some conversation. Some light-hearted banter, a quip, or something to ease this the fuck in. But not Smoker. Oh no. He's going to get straight to the point, obviously.]

Smokey!

[he startles at the voice, slamming the book shut and sliding it away]

[but then after a moment he opens it up again]

If you touch my nakama I'm going to kick your ass.

[he doesn't know how or even if he can. But he's not going to lose them all. Not again. Not after he just found them again. He'll even send Smoker flying if he has to, to keep them safe]

[Facepalms.]

[THAT ANSWERS NOTHING YOU UNHELPFUL BRAT.]

[And also, he wasn't going to touch them.]

[No wait, yes he will!]

I'll touch whoever I want and you're not strong enough to stop me.

[So take that!]

[Sure he might be injured and needing that dealt with, but whatever. Who cares that he was trying to find out about Doflamingo and Green Bit and Law? Fuck you, Smoker will do what he wants!!!]

[he clenches his hands into his shorts. No he couldn't. He couldn't do anything against Kuma and Smoker is not the kind of guy he can fight. Ace was here-- and he couldn't always rely on Ace to save him... But for now, he would have to...

And that just meant--he'd have to get strong enough somehow to fight Smoker himself. He nods. Or find someone else who can do it. Maybe if Katara douses him with a lot of sea water he'll be easier to fight. All of his nakama know to run from him-- and if they get captured, he'll find out about it somehow.

So-- it would be okay.]

I'll take them back.

[Grrr.]

[Straw-Hat's in a mood, and Smoker needs to think.]

[It's not enough clues though.]

[Crocodile is here, and so are the Whitebeards? That's too damn confusing.]

[Fine, forget finding out information, maybe if he gives some, Straw-Hat will let something slip.]

There are too many ex-shichibukai to fight of late.

[Was that enough of a clue? Too much? He can't tell yet.]

[sorry. He's not interested. Too long a silence and whatever Smoker had to say next wasn't important right now since Luffy knows what he needs to do. In short, the journal is closed and he can't hear you]

[Just for that he's staking out the bar. GOOD JOB.]
