Dream Cruise Chapter 2

~~~Chapter 2
Archeo Island soon came into view as the Sunny Go rushed along the blue waves. A huge rocky mountain with snow at its tip reached up into the clouds. The Sunny came to a stop as it slid snuggly in between another ship and the dock.
“Nami, can I have my spending money?!” asked Luffy, jumping off the ship and onto the creaky wooden dock.
“Yohohohoho~!” said a skeleton in a torn suit.
Brooke held his hat onto his afro and gripped his light purple cane as he jumped down besides Luffy with a thump. Nami stuck her head over the railing, her hair waving ever so slightly in the wind.
“Two thousand belli for both of you,” she yelled, tossing them two small bags of coins.
“Wait for us!” screamed Usopp, as he let down a rope and wood ladder.
He quickly dropped down, and Chopper wasn’t far behind.
The doctor, Chopper, the marksman, Usopp, the musician, Brooke, and the captain, Luffy dashed off into the brightly lit town streets, flying by island residents.

“Nami~~, Robin~~!” Sanji yelled, dashing out of the kitchen with two exquisite drinks, “I made punch.”
Robin sipped her drink as she sat in the shade of an umbrella, reading one of her history books. Nami was leaning over a large piece of mapping paper that she had flattened out on the table, mapping the parts of the Grand Line that they had recently explored.
“Navigator-kun,” Robin started, turning her head slightly towards Nami, “it’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?”
“Yeah,” Nami replied lazily, “but I can’t imagine what those four are getting themselves into out there.”
Nami quietly sighed and sipped Sanji’s special punch before going back to her map.

Under the deck, Franky and Zoro were replacing the barrels of cola that the Sunny runs on. The sloshing of the cola filled the room as Zoro and Franky lifted the new barrels into place.
“Well, it looks we’re done here,” remarked Franky, “want a cola?”
“Sure,” Zoro replied as he made sure that his three swords were tightly tied to his waist.
Zoro paused as he held the sword that his childhood friend and rival, Kuina, had given him. Franky reached for an ice box, pulling out a couple of colas and tossing one at Zoro.
Zoro was snapped back to reality as the bottle of cola smashed to pieces when it hit him on the side of the head.
“Huh,” Franky said while gulping cola, “try paying attention next time.”
“You!” Zoro snarled angrily at Franky, ready to kill him.
