[001 - video, in spero]

[gomugomunowin]

[When the feed first switches on, it's at angle, coming from the ground. A rather angry teenager is shown, kicking pebbles around the empty streets. He looks around at the delapidated buildings around him, and huffs.]

What the hell's up with this stupid place?! I gotta get back to Fishman Island and kick Hordy's ass!

AND MY CREW'S NOT EVEN HERE, WHAT THE HELL'S UP WITH THAT!?!?!??! [In his anger, Luffy punches a nearby wall, leaving large cracks, and eventually crumbles. He pouts angrily before perking up.]

I know! I'll just take a look from one top of the buildings! [He bends forward, putting his arms behind him and grinning widely.]

YOSH!!!! Gomu Gomu no..........ROCKET! [He swings his arm in front of him, reaching for the top of a nearby building. But rather than having his arms shoot toward the roof, they didn't stretch at all, and instead fell flat on his face. He laid still for a few moments before jerking up, even angrier tha before.]

WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!? WHY CAN'T I USE MY GOMU GOMU POWERS!?!?!?!??!

[Haer'Dalis nods]

He should be docked in Spero at the moment. If you are there, his should be the only ship in the harbor. That is where you shall find him.

[He adds as almost an after thought]

I'm Haer'Dalis by the way, or the sparrow. It's nice to meet you Monkey D. Luffy.

[straw_hat]

Ship....he's got a ship here?

Ah, yeah, nice to meet you. [Just a bit scatterbrained here. For...obvious reasons.]

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

That's right, it's on the lake, since that's the only, and largest body of water around.

[straw_hat]

Got it. Thanks. [This is Luffy on a mission mode. And he just....starts walking.

He'll realize he doesn't know where the lake is in a minute.]

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

[Haer'Dalis sees this and feels he really should say something]

... umm... where are you going?

[straw_hat]

Hm? To the lake.

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

[He points in the opposite direction of where Luffy was heading]

The lake is that way.

[straw_hat]

....oh. Okay, thanks.

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

You know, as a pirate, I would have thought you'd have a better sense of direction.

[straw_hat]

That's why I have Nami.

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

Is that your navigator?

[straw_hat]

Yeah. She's the best navigator ever!

But she's reeeeeally scary, too.

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

Scary? How so?

[straw_hat]

When's she's angry, she can beat the shit outa me.

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

[Haer'Dalis pauses, considering the abilities that Luffy mentioned that he had... then he's trying to imagine a being that beat's the shit out of that.]

... Oh my.

[straw_hat]

Yeah, she's reeeeeeally scary.

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

Haha! She sounds like she'd be a very interesting person to meet.

[straw_hat]

She's not! She yells at me all the time, she hits me a lot, and she's just plain mean!

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

Then why don't you find a different Navigator?

[straw_hat]

Cause she's the best the is!

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

See, so there is some merit in meeting her then. If she is truly the best, than she must be quite something, no?

[straw_hat]

Of course she is! She can navigate the Grand Line like it's nothing!

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

I've only heard a few tales of this Grand Line, but from what I hear it's quite dangerous. Might you tell me about it? It sounds wonderfully chaotic!

[Haer'Dalis simply loves chaos]

[straw_hat]

It's great there! Compasses don't work, so you have to use a special one called a Log Pose. There's a whole buncha different islands! Like one for giants, and a reeeeeeally big land called Alabasta! One of my nakama is the princess there. And there was a place called Thriller Bark that was like a haunted house! With zombies and everything! They've got huge Sea Kings, too!

But right now my crew and I are headed for the New World!

[sojournsparrow.livejournal.com]

Interesting... The polarity there must be incredibly unique... Sounds like many of the different planes I've been to, wrapped up into one stretch of sea. What's a Sea King?

Oh? Are you traveling to a different world? Or is that just what it's called?
