I was smart enough to steal one of those festival masks when I did. The marines have started to ask the townspeople if they’ve seen me. They show them my missing person’s poster and everything. I don’t even know where the picture came from.
Luckily, none of the citizens saw my face so the marines still don’t know I’m here. Though, I have seen them asking several people to take their masks off. I need to leave soon before I’m found out.
When I first got off Ol’ Betsy, I took some stuff from the crew. One of them had this cool rucksack. It was big enough to fit all my stuff in so I took it. Those things are so handy, they are pretty small when you look at it but they can fit a bunch of stuff.
I know I have to leave by tonight, so I’m scouting the harbor for any small boats I could steal. And a log pose. I keep hearing that word around here. Apparently, it’s some sort of navigation thing. You can’t sail anywhere around here without one.
I finally know where I am now. This ocean is called the Grand Line. There’s supposed to be a huge treasure at the end of it, so there’s a lot of pirates that come through here. They all look pretty worn out.
Around noon, most of the pirates were in the pub so I snuck in to listen on their conversations. I’m surprised nobody noticed a teenager sitting at the bar. Or maybe they just didn’t care.
Anyway, from listening to their conversations this island is pretty early into the whole thing. I don’t know how many islands there are in this stretch of ocean, but this happens to be something like the fourth or fifth island you stop at.
The pirates always talk about One Piece. When the townspeople hear someone mention it they shake their heads and chuckle, as if the whole idea is stupid. But these people are living their dreams, no matter how silly or ridiculous it might sound to others. For that, they’re pretty cool.
Maybe I should try to go after it too. Then again, I’m all alone and it looks like you need a whole crew to get you anywhere in this society.
I’m fairly certain I’ll find my purpose somewhere along the way. I’ve got my whole life ahead of me anyway.
Well, right now I’m writing this entry as they day ends. There’s nothing quite like watching a sunset while you’re drifting on the ocean. I hope I get to see a lot more of these in the future.
I managed to steal a boat without much trouble, though there might have been a few drunks who saw me sailing away. Hopefully they won’t remember anything when they wake up.
Stealing food was just as easy too. All the times I had to do it when I was younger, that knowledge is still in my head. All I had to do was remember what Kitten always told me. Much as I hated her, she did teach me how to live off of nothing. So I guess I can thank her for something.
I have food for weeks, if I ration it out. There were lots of water bottles in the bar that I swiped, so water is good too. Hey, at least I’m not travelling in a box of fish again...
I don’t know how long I’ll be at sea. I wasn’t able to get a map anywhere, but I do have this log pose. Several people were discussing it with some pirates and I caught some of the information. Log poses have to set before you can start sailing again, and the setting times are different for each island. You have to go on the course it takes you otherwise you’ll get lost and die.
As long as it takes me away from the Doctor, anywhere is fine with me.
