The sun bore down upon the East Blue like a fireball. Serene winds grazed the Milky Way’s sails. The young Shipwright, Reddick T. Rocket stood atop the control podium, guiding the massive airship through the sky. “We’re well on our way outta East Blue, Shunji! “ He moved the nonchalantly moved the joystick around, his goggles still intact on his head. The slight breeze caressed Rocket’s face with motherly love, brushing the bulk of his white-locks back.
The past few days onboard with Shunji was actually kind of relaxing. Watching the clouds, allowing the wind to sway you around every corner, watching the seagulls soar overhead, it’s all he could’ve hoped for. Was this what it was like being a pirate? If so, count him in. This was the best. The only thing that would make it better would be Albert standing next to him, and a giant plate of food in front of him. Maybe a mermaid or two. But really, he couldn’t have asked for a more gracious, adventurous time. The amount of differently shaped islands and clouds he saw were spectacular. And to think, he built this thing. Meeting Shunji back on Spider Miles must’ve been a real miracle. Had it not been for the sapphire-haired ninja, he never would’ve built this airship, and he would probably be dead at Vice Admiral Smacker’s feet right now.
As Rocket steered away. the propellers began slowing down, evidently causing the ship to slowly descend into the sea below. “Crap… The engine is out of gas. Looks like we’re gonna have to take this the old fashioned way. Shunji, hold on!” He pressed a few buttons on the control pad, completely shutting the propellers off. The Milky Way made a hefty and swift descent, crashing into the salty seawater below. “Woooooo!”
It might as well have been like dropping a 5-ton rock into the water, due to the waves and radius of the splash their ship made.
“Y’know, I kind of figured out how to read this map. Looks like we’re… semi close to uhh… Baratie? Baratie Karate? Bweehehe! That rhymes!”
