56: Jolly Roger????
Watching the crew fly away the guy pulled out a den den mushi and called some one
"Whats the matter, Salchow?" Was heard over the mushi
"The ship... is f-flying away in the sky!"
Exclaimed the ugly man
"Do you expect me to believe that nonsense?"
"But.."
Started the ugly man but was interrupted by the woman next to him
"Hand that over! Brother, he's telling you the truth. The ship is flyig away right before very eyes."
She exclaimed to the mushi
On the other side of the mushi a large buff man standing under an umbrella turn to a large couch where a very obese man was laying.
"Papa, we've run into some trouble!"
He said while walking behinnf the couch. The obese guy raises his hand and points at something above them.
"Why not get the flag first"
he say while his son looks at the large collection of flag hanging from the ceiling and walls covering the room.
"Way to go, papa! That's a splendid idea."
The couple on the other side hears the conversation and turn to one of their companions who looked like a little kid version of the woman.
"Hey, Lil-chan! Could you summon that one critter for us?"
The man asked hugging the woman. The little girl then puffed out her cheeks and looked away
"No!"
Causing the guy to exclaim out in shock.
"Er, um, I'm sorry, but you can't just—"
The man started to say before the woman pushed him away and skated next to the little girl
"Lil-chan, you'd be doing it as a favour for me, too. Plus it was an order from our beloved Papa."
causing the little girl to pull out a small red bead from her pocket before tossing it into the air
"Go, my kite, Uo!"
She yells with a smile as a strange fish, bird hybrid thing came flashing out of the water and catches the bead before taking off after the ship. Robin who was looking bad was able to see the little girl throw something into the air where a bird caught it before she lost sight of the bird in the clouds. Just as the crew was gonna land they heard a strange noise causing Robin and Alex to look around
"A strange fish?"
Robin said while squinting trying to see the creature in the distance better. The ship finally running out of speed crashed into the water causing the crew to stumble slightly. The bird during the landing collided with the flag and flew off with it grasped in its mouth, unknown to the crew.
"At long last, we can finally relax!"
Exclaimed Usopp as he flopped onto the ground on his back
"The ocean really is great! Blue skies and white clouds! The sun shining down annd the flapping of the jolly.... It's gone!"
Usopp yells out as he sits up strait.
"Our jolly roger is gone?"
Yells nami in disbelief
"And Zoro appears to be missing, too..."
Alex stated as she looked around the deck.
(Meanwhile with Zoro)
"I can't believe they got lost again!" Are they stupid?!"
He yells out from where he is stranded on an iceberg.
(Back with the crew)
The crew gathered around the mast and looked at where the jolly roger used to hand but could only see the torn corners from where the flag connected to the mast.
"Our Jolly Roger..."
Nami started with Robin finishing
"It's gone missing?"
"When'd that happen?"
Franky asked seeming to spark recognition into Robin as she rushed to the edge of the ship and looked around for something
"What's up, Nico Robin?"
Franky asked as him and the rest of the crew gathered round Robin to try and see what made her rush over
"Usopp look for that bird fish thing."
Alex stated as she understood what Robin was looking for. Usopp then pulled out a pair of binoculars and looked around the sky from where they came.
"Found it! Jolly Roger, found! The bird like fish has it!"
He yelled out after spotting the fish bird carrying their flag in the distance
"I thought so. The people we saw earlier have stolen it from us. I saw one of them issue that fish an order."
Robin stated to the shock of the rest. They then heard glass breaking from Usopp and turned to see his eyeball bulging through the binoculars breaking the glass.
"Hey! It's taking our Jolly Roger back in the direction we just came from!"
"Damn it!"
Yelled out Sanji as he rushed back to the helm to quickly turn the ship back around.
"Hey, where do you think you're takin' us?"
Franky yelled at Sanji as he stumbled from the force of the turn
"Isn't it obvious we're gong back!"
What? Are you stupid? We just got away!"
Franky and Sanji yelled at each other.
"Calm down Sanji-kun! We're still missing both Luffy and Chopper!"
Nami yelled as she struggled to keep her balance
"Yeah, and Zoro!"
Usopp added
"At times like this, you should think before you leap!"
Nami yelled out
(Back with Zoro)
"Hey you! Stop moving! Hey, i said to quit moving! C'mon! Freeze!"
He yelled out with shark teeth while staring at the fast moving iceberg he was struggling to stand on.
(Back to crew)
We can't afford to stay put. A Jolly Roger is as important to a pirate as his own life! We can't allow even one to get stolen!"
Sanji stated with shadow covering his eyes
"We know that, but first we should meet up with Luffy—"
Usopp started juts to be interrupted by Sanji
"I've got another reason! Guys, do you want ur captain to scold us for screwing up?!"
Sanji yelled out in desperation, causing the crew to finally understand how important it is they get it back before Luffy finds out as they could all imagine his reaction
"I can't believe you guys! Really!"
Luffy stated while picking his nose before flicking the booger at them.
"No! Anything but that! My pride won't let me endure a lecture from that moron!"
"I couldn't take it! My pride won't let me endure a lecture from that moron!"
Both Nami and Usopp screamed out with passion.
"Dang...Those two...!"
Franky stated getting a chuckle from Robin
"Okay. Let's go!"
Sanji stated as he continued to steer the ship back to where they started, only to have to stop the ship as icebergs rushed to block their path. Alex walked to the rails and studdied the water around them
"How can they move? They're just ice!"
Usopp stated in confusion
"What if they're being pushed by something?"
Alex asked from where she was leaning over the rails looking into the water.
