Chapter 121 (1/2)

Grandline, Paradise, ???

While the different factions in the new world were engulfed in small skirmishes as a prelude to the big war that could break out any day now, by some folks estimation, the life in the first half of the grandline remained rather calm. Of course the term peaceful was up for debate but none the less, compared to the witch caldron the new world had become these days it was not a completely false statement.

In one small part of said ocean a weird mist had appeared as if out of nowhere and brought with it a surprise that not all were happy about. Though the surprise itself was rather gleeful of finally escaping the bloody mist after all the time of being confined in its realm.

Said surprise of course consisted of our lovely teddy bear Azul and his companion Robin that couldn't help but cry out in glee at finally escaping their prison after spending nearly two months inside the stupid thing.

After their release they swiftly decided on seeking out the nearest island and enjoy themselves a good long bath and some different food as they had eaten the same stuff almost every day!

Thus under a cloud of heat and flames signalling the duos arrival, they reached the nearest island and oh were they surprised once they saw where they arrived at.

”How in the f.u.c.k did we arrive here already? We didn't move from our spots inside the damn mist?!” Azul asked with a stupefied expression as right before their eyes laid Water 7, no more, no less.

”Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, maybe we did so unconsciously? Or the sh.i.p.s we stayed upon drifted with the mist?” Robin mused in thought.

”You could have just said you had no idea you know?” Azul replied with a slight grin which caused a slight tick to appear on Robins forehead.

”Hm? Did you say something? No? Okay, then let's get moving again, shall we?” She said in turn while patting Azul on the head which caused Azul to stifle a bout of laughter as he knew exactly that Robin liked to muse about many things and hated it when he brought up the fact that she had no clue just as often as she theorized about the world.

Without replying but with a grin on his face Azul speed of into the distance and soon afterwards appeared in Water 7 where he immediately headed towards the docks he had left his beauty in the last time he was in the city.

While the two went towards the docks Azul couldn't help himself but notice that the activity of marines in the city had significantly increased since they had last been on the island. Wondering what had happened while they were trapped inside the mist Azul walked over to a stall and bought himself the newspaper of the day.

Flipping through them swiftly Azuls eyes widened a little at what he was reading. 'Holy moly, we really had bad luck getting trapped inside that stupid mist in such explosive times!'
