[voice] action to Straw Hats

[yourotherleft]

Oi, Spades! Or anyone still at Port Chance. Is Luffy with you? He didn't come to breakfast this morning and he's not on the ship. We set out last night but maybe he decided to pop back and visit somebody while we were still close.

...come to think of it, I haven't seen Robin around either. I assumed she was already onboard when we raised sail.

So if he's over with you guys, will you send his ass back? He didn't tell us where he wanted to set course to, and I dunno where to go. If anybody's even seen him or Robin, tell me.

[the other Straw Hats on board may see Zoro pacing the ship restlessly, triple-checking every nook and cranny of the ship. Somebody as quiet and private as Robin can easily elude notice, but Luffy? His Supreme Noisiness not being onboard is pretty obvious and as the day goes on, Zoro will start to really worry.]

Nah, I'm gonna try to make my way in this. If I run into trouble, I know where to go.

I'll be around and keep an eye out for them.

They might just be in a kraken somewhere or something.

It'd be a lot to hope it's just that again, huh? I'd even take 'captured by the damn Navy' over...just not here.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Don't rule them out.

I've seen the dead come back more than once after all.

And a bunch of our crew seemed to have returned home only to turn up a month later in the crow's nest or somewhere absurd.

[Voice]

[yourotherleft]

You guys and the Bloody Roses both, huh? And Usopp did come back...once. After months.

But if the Navy has them, there's nothing on this world or under the sea that can stop me from going after them. I ain't waitin' for anyone to die.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

If the Navy has them I'll help you. Like hell would we let Ace's little brother or Robin go through that.

[Voice]

[yourotherleft]

Guess we'd better work on ruling that out, then. Before I start really thinking it's something else.

[though, he's already starting to accept it. There's no evidence the Navy snuck up in the middle of the night, took two of the crew without firing a shot, and fled.]
