A quick chat with some crewmembers brings me up to date. Have any of you ever read about the Rainbow Mist? That was an interesting story and adventure, by the way. Hmmm, time for another crew update.

The funny little sniper. His father is a crewmember of the great Red-Haired SHanks crew, Yassop. They both have supremely accurate aim, although Usopp still has to get the courage to shoot confidently against enemies. THat's his goal on the grand line, to become the Bravest Sea Warrior. Sometimes teens amaze me. (Remmeber, I'm 28!) He is still not strong  though.

that's all for now.

((GA HA HAA long time no update!!!! TIme to go subscribe to my fellow crew! And According to Eichiiro Oda, i'm the second strongest. Beat that zoro!))

---A new day, a new entry. But sadly, nothing new on the ship. We're on our way to another island...Did I promise you another crew member? All right. A strong one....Well, there are *many* choices. Who should I pick? The strongest is the captain, of course. The second is...me. The third one is very interesting.

A long time ago, he trained at a dojo in an attempt to defeat the sensei's daughter, who was a bit older then him, but could beat adults. They were children, and Roronoa Zoro lost 2000 times to her. On the 2001 defeat, she started crying and talking about how she was growing and would become weak, because men become stronger then women, for she wanted to become the best swordsmen, and so did he.

He grew angry to hide his embarrasment and they both promised that they would fight to become the world's best swordsman, and fight. The next day, she died falling down the stairs, and he asked the sensei for her sword. To this day, he carries, not one, but three swords, for he practices "Santoryu", or "three sword flow". A painter the crew stumbled on painted this nice pose for us. Of course, I wasn't there. And coincedentally, it only shows the crew I've disclosed to you about. ^_^

He trains constantly, building up his muscles. How does he hold his *three* katanas? Why, one in his mouth, of course! You'll see in other pictures. He lost once, and only once, gaining a fatal scar no other human could survive through. He lost to *the* greatest swordsman on the seas, Eagle-Eye Mihawk. It's across his chest.And yes, this is a bit out of date, Zoro's katanas are different. Well, what do they  look like, you ask. You'll find out later.---

((Zoro's so hot. Yeah, sorry for a WHOLE week of not updating, exams. :P)

*takes out a quill and ink bottle, a log book, and sits on a sunning chair on the ship deck*

*scribble scribble scratch scratch*

---Nothing much today. We're still en route to the next island, but it's taking a while. I do hope it has flowers, this one's wilting. *touches flower tenderly* So sad, how quickly beauty fades away so quickly. But again, beauty is also on the inside.

*closes book* .... *Luffy pops up*

Luffy: Nico! Do you want to play with us? Cards!!

*stretches out a hand and arms sprout from the deck, tickling the captain, doctor, and marksman*

Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp: HA HA HA!!!! *rolling on the floor*

Nico: Oh! *opens log book and writes furiously*

---I forgot to introduce you to my crewmembers. I'll do this one at time, all right? Let's start with my....captain....

---That's his wanted poster. The price is pretty high for the first time. It's changed, though, now it's 100,000,000 belli, which is a LOT. He now draws even MORE attention to himself, with everyone belli hungry. He even beats me. But again, he *is* the captain. Not really....sometimes he amuses me so much, it makes me smile.

For example: We were drifting in a cursed place where no ship could go out. If you shot a cannon to the misty sides, it would come back the opposite direction. Our "captain" just started to shoot himself through the misty walls, laughing his head off. Oh! I forgot, he ate the Gomu Gomu Devil fruitm or RUbber fruit. He gains the ability to stretch like rubber, obviously.

First of all, devil fruit are the fruit of the seas. You eat it, the sea hates you and you can't swim. Three aboard the ship have consumed it, but only two of the three are the top strongest on the ship. I end with a picture I got from a vendor in Skypiea who had such technology.

Yup. that's my captain. And now, back to the great back massage i was planning to give myself....

*hands sprout from the end of the sun chair and start to rub back*

Nico: Aaah....That feels good. ((^_^))
