Thread: One Piece: Exploring The New World (LadyAthene & Silverknight)

Captain Tashigi The first ten to fifteen minutes of wandering and looking for something - anything , really - only seemed to strengthen Tashigi's beliefs. Despite its name, it seemed there wasn't much mysterious at all about this Mystoria Island. Oh the fucking irony, she muttered, scoffing in annoyance as she rolled her eyes before sighing softly. Well .... damn. I should have made a bet with Smoker before leaving that this would result in finding literally nothing. It would have been clear if anyone else were around that the young Marine captain definitely had no intention of letting her superior forget of that moment. She would be irked with him for quite some time and it would be an honest to gods miracle if anyone could make her change her mind. While that didn't shift, a breeze caused her to glance up. Her brows furrowed as Tashigi raised a hand and pushed her red-rimmed glasses up. She didn't specialize in meteorology however, she didn't need to in order to see a storm was definitely coming. Yay, she sarcastically mused, lowering her head as she shifted from a casual walk to a brisk jog that barely avoided turning into a full-fledged run. Shelter ... that needs to be the first thing you find ... ... Was there even one here? It didn't look like such things had ever been used, let alone known about. That possibility made her grip her lower lip. She could build one but it would suck doing such a task alone. Her sword had a sharp blade, naturally. But therein laid the problem of making a shelter, regardless how big or small, that much more tedious. ... Hopefully it won't come down to that ... As if some unseen deity was eavesdropping on her thoughts, there it was. A half-assed shack that appeared to have been made some time ago. It wasn't perfect by any means. But it had a foundation, support, and even windows. Phew, Tashigi sighed, switching back to her more normal pace as she entered the hut. It had the bare essentials, which made her unable to raise an eyebrow. A bathroom, kitchen, what was likely a living room, and even bedroom with a single, large bed were the only rooms here. Who used to be here? she pondered, only to hear her mind quickly quip. You sure you wanna find that answer out? She waved her hand through the air before deciding first and foremost, there was something more vital than discovering the origins of this home. Food. Due to having to row for so long by herself, she hadn't been able to eat much. Now that there was plenty of time and opportunities, though, Tashigi fully intended to change that and make it work for her. Taking a seat on the nearby couch, she opened the satchel and pulled some slices of bread that had been kept in a plastic bag to prevent them from going bad. Slowly, the Marine began to nibble. Her tense body steadily relaxed before she finally allowed herself to plop against the couch. She even went so far as to let her muscles loosen up. It wasn't something she usually permitted, letting one's guard down was incredibly foolish for a swordswoman - let alone Marine such as herself - to do. However, Smoker did seem to be correct about one thing in regards to Mystoria. Save for herself, it truly did seem to be unoccupied. So, at least for now, she would allow her guard to be slightly - but definitely not completely - lowered.
