A month and a couple of days have passed since our arrival to Swallow island, and with the black pearl's final upgrades finished, it was also the time for us to set sail once again.
My crew and I spent this time between relaxation and training, and I think I might have found the best way to train Observation Haki. Observation is basically sensing the wills of those around you, not hearing them, not seeing them, but feeling them, which is why I had some difficulties lear...

"Land ahoy," Elly exclaimed from her spot at the top of the crow's nest, causing me to open my eyes and stop humming to myself in a relaxed manner as I stood up to take a look.
And sure enough, I could see the silhouette of a giant Swallow-shaped mountain, showing that we were close to Swallow island. "I didn't think I'd be back here so soon," Law said with a complicated expression as he looked at the iconic mountain.
"Well, think of it as a chance to s...

"You already know that the cloud devil fruit only reincarnates on the white tress," Urouge said while pointing at one of the said trees, and I nodded, indicating for him to continue.
"What I didn't tell you was that they tend to grow on the biggest tree available to them," he added with a grin. "Doesn't that meant that it will reincarnate on another sky island somewhere?" I asked with a frown.
"Not, really," Urouge replied while shaking his head. ...

As byron watched the fight between Johnny and Lokni, he couldn't help getting lost in thought, reminiscing about the tall tales old, retired pirates used to tell on Toroa island.
The veteran pirates told stories of strange creatures, beautiful islands, storms that resembled the wrath of God, and men who were so strong they could destroy entire countries.
To the Byron from back then, these tall tales l...

"DAMN YOU!" Lokni shouted with an outraged roar as his attack dissipated while my own kept charging towards him without losing any momentum, causing him to brace himself for impact.
The miniature sun quickly reached the thunder cloud monster, and he reacted by trying to stop the attack with his hands, reaching and grabbing it with gigantic hands.
"No matter how great the sub is," Lokni said through gritted teeth as he received the attack with bot...

"The control room should be just ahead," Urouge said in a whispering voice as he followed behind Laffite along with the rest of Johnny's crew.
"Stop whispering like you bastard," Law said with twitching eyes. "It's honestly creepy when a muscular middle-aged man whispers like that," he added with a disgusted expression as he took a step back.
Hearing Law's words, Urouge merely shrugged his shoulders with a ...

"Only five to go," I remarked with a grin while watching the last five pirates hovering around in the air with panicked expressions. "three left," Wilson replied as he flew behind one of the pirates, grabbing him and tossing him towards his companions.
The two pirates crashed into each other, both of them losing balance and spiraling downwards toward the ground.
"And that's a wrap," I added as I shot down the last three remaining pirates with my g...

"Do you know what kind of numbers and weapons they have, Urouge?" I asked as I turned to look at the mad monk.
"They had about two hundred pirates," Urouge stated with a grin. "But I managed to cut down that number through hit-and-run tactics in the past year," he added, his grin becoming more pronounced on his face.
"And this guy here cut that number down by a dozen more," he remarked as he turned to look at Wilson. "So that leaves them with abou...

We kept defending the ship as the cloud water pushed further and further into the tunnel. Even though the attacks kept intensifying in quality and quantity, we pulled through, suffering no injuries or damage to the black pearl.

The roof and walls of the tunnel suddenly began to merge, tur...

The time has finally come. We tied everything in the ship down, and everyone was close to something to hold on to, but I had my hand on Triton's handle to steer the black pearl to safety in case.
I definitely trusted Laffite's navigation and steering skills, but I still had to take precautions to ensure the lives of my crewmates and the survival of my ship.
I could already feel the sea shaking below the black pearl, and everyone had tense expressions on their...

The day to leave Swallow island finally came, and we were waiting for law to give us his answer before we set sail.
"Do you think he'll come, captain?" Laffite asked with a smile as we both stood on the black pearl's deck, watching the port.

Three days have passed since the Artur Bacca incident, and there's still no word from Law. I can't say that I haven't expected as much. Based on what I know about him from the anime, he'll probably wait until the very last second to give a reply.
And speaking of Artur Bacca, his fate was nothing but ironic. After a brief meeting between the citizens of Pleasure town, they forced the pirate captain to become a handyman responsible for fixing any damaged building in the f...

The changed density didn't need any energy to be maintained because the c...

It has been a day since we departed from Spider miles, and Charles has been getting along with the crew quite well. Even Wilson seemed to get along with him just fine, except for the two times Charles scammed Wilson, of course.
Charles being the crafty street kid he was, tried to scam each and every one of us. Still, unfortunately for him, my crew comprised people who were not easy to trick because of their pasts. Almost every one of them had a brush or two with the und...

The day passed quickly, with Laffite and Kozue telling the crew and me about all kinds of rumors he heard while looking for Law. Most of these rumors were worthless gossip at best, except for the info about Doc Q and certain weather phenomena that should be native to the grand line.

Five days have passed since I ate my devil fruit, and we have reached Spider Miles. I spent the first day practicing changing the density of cannonballs until I got the hang of it, thanks to the ungodly amount of ammunition we took from the marines.
