said in response to the answer and cut off a piece, which she ate with a bad feeling.

“LAND IN SIGHT! ", called the long nose from the lookout, a little later a dull rumble could be heard, Usopp had fallen the last part of the mast.
“What kind of island is it, smaller or larger? "Nami wanted to know.
"A single jungle," explained Usopp.
“Well, then we'll split up into groups, a few will go hunting, two will take care of the ship and one will accompany me when I explore the island! ", Nami commanded.
,,Is good! ", answered the others and pulled out wooden sticks that Nami always had ready.What do they have to do with a short end? "Ray wanted to know.
“They have to collect food! ", Nami explained.
,, Well, what bad luck, I have to guard the ship! ", said Usopp, who was relieved that he had been spared and didn't have to go ashore, otherwise something could happen!
,,Me too! ", said Robin with a smile, which made Usop shiver, he still didn't trust Robin.
,,To hunt? ", Ray looked at Nami doubtfully, she's been making a vegetarian for days," well, that's going to be fun! ", It came from her dryly.
“Nobody forces you, you can swap with one of the two ship sitters! ", Zorro said sullenly.
,, you know sometimes i feel like you don't like me! ", Ray stated sadly," I'll do my best with you! "
“Don't worry, he doesn't like me either! ", Robin comforted her calmly.
"Is that a miracle? ", Zorro looked sharply at Robin.
,,Of course not! "Robin smiled calmly.Ray didn't understand what was between the two of them, she didn't care, all her attention was on the approaching island.
They docked in a shallow bay and climbed out of the boat one by one. The island was wonderful, it was green everywhere, the ground was covered with leaves, trees and bushes, not a bit of town, not a bit of civilization, just pure nature, Ray found this island simply beautiful. She ran around curiously, she had to look at everything carefully, the snail on the leaf, the nettle that hurt when you touched it, the tall trees that almost called on you to climb around on them, everything was a huge adventure. The sight of the pirates felt as if they had a four-year-old running around and not a 14-year-old.
"Hey, Luffy, are we going to race? ", Ray wanted to know from the laughing straw hat boy.
,, Clear and go! "Without paying attention to her, he ran into the bushes and Ray followed.,, Well, that can be fun, hopefully we'll find it again! ", Nami groaned.
“And if not we just keep traveling, it's their bad luck if they can't wait until we have discussed everything! ", said Sanji and strapped a backpack with sticks on his back, which Nami needed to measure the island. (It all sounds like that one show with Chopper's past, but it won't be)
,,Let's go!"

,, Look at Luffy! ", Ray called and stopped," There's a worm with wings up there! "
“This is called a butterfly! ", Luffy laughed and slowly sneaked up to the beautiful, delicate insect that was sitting on a flower," I bet I'll catch it! "
,,How so? ", Ray didn't understand it, she crouched down in front of the flower and gave the butterfly a gentle smile," Look, the butterfly has wings, that means it belongs to heaven! "
“I've never seen it like this before! ", Luffy marveled, but grinned at her immediately afterwards," You have funny ways of looking at things! ",, Do you think ?! ", she grinned back, pulled herself up again and ran on to the bet with Luffy, which she did pretty well, she was amazed again and again what her body could do, what things she just did without thinking about it and then followed behind wondered how she had managed this.
“Do you think people can grow wings too? ", she wanted to know from Luffy when they stopped panting and didn't feel like running any more.
“Don't know, you're human, that doesn't work! ", Luffy said thoughtfully," except with devil powers! "
"I bet I'll get wings one day, huge wings, like an angel, then I'll fly everywhere!"
,,You're funny! ", Luffy laughed again," where did you get that? "
“From one of Robin's books, there was a picture of an angel in it, I thought they looked really beautiful! "(although the ones that Master Oda draws aren't the real thing, are they?)
,, Hahaha! ", Luffy couldn't help himself anymore, Ray was initially pissed off that Luffy was laughing at her, but then she understood that he wasn't laughing at her, he was laughing at her.She had to laugh too, it was nice, it was just nice to be so free, she felt a tingling sensation in her stomach with every breath. But hadn't she always been free, why did it feel so strange? What was she before she lost her memory? Wasn't she having so much fun there? Had she never laughed then? Ray shook his head hastily, she didn't want to think about that, what was the point, what counted was the here and now, the feeling of having fun, that counted and nothing else! She shook her head again, she didn't want to think so much anymore!
,,Do you hear the? "Luffy wanted to know.
Ray looked around, then stood still, closed her eyes and listened, she listened into the forest:
“Something is coming up! ", she said softly," but not just one! "
,,Right! ", Luffy grinned and pointed to a place between the trees, at the place where there was a slope," a whole horde is coming towards us!"With the" whole horde "was meant 17 running birds (who knows Final Fantasy, also knows the Cocobos). They ran on two legs, their claws rammed into the ground with every step, giving them new impetus to run towards them. They had a pointed beak and a yellow feather that reflected the sun, Ray and Luffy were blown away by the sight, but that didn't last long, because they quickly noticed that these cute birds were running towards them and not exactly with them a friendly expression.
,,Let's get out of here quickly! ", Luffy said with a daring grin on his lips, he had a thirst for adventure.
,, Aye, aye, captain! ", Ray replied obediently, then she grinned too, the two turned on their heels and started running, the birds were a bit faster than them, but what did it matter, it would be a lot of fun, an adventure, if only one little one.
"Luffy hopped over hill and dale, sometimes he also hit Tarzan and extended his arm when the path was too bumpy, Ray had immediately chosen the path over the trees, she felt it was safer up there, and it made her feel better." just having fun, she had a real feel for choosing the right branch.“The others will be happy! ", laughed Luffy," we'll bring lunch with us! ", but immediately he slapped his mouth when he saw Ray's gloomy expression," wasn't meant like that! "
,,I hope so! ", Ray remarked shortly. The birds had caught up with them in the meantime, sometimes they jumped up and snapped at Ray's feet, or tried to get hold of Luffy somehow, but he simply bent to the side and escaped them like that.
,, Hey, I can already see the sea! ", called Ray, who had the best view from her location," but the Flying Lamp is nowhere to be seen! "
“We probably took the wrong route, but it's only half as bad! ", Luffy laughed happily, he didn't mind the whole thing at all. If she wasn't here, she wasn't further to the right or left, then they just had to look for her. What was the problem?

“Why do I always have to drag everything? "groaned the little doctor, suffering from the burden of all the food they had found so far."Until now it was only fruit and vegetables, they had never seen meat anywhere, but that was better that way, otherwise they would have had to endure the grim looks from Ray at dinner again, that was very uncomfortable.
,, Don't complain like that, I'm wearing something too! ", the green-haired swordsman pointed to a raffia basket which he carried on leather straps over his shoulder. It was only half full," I'll carry the next load again, agreed? "
Chopper nodded.
"Then it's good! ", he stopped and looked around, he had heard voices ... he got the answer quickly, because a whole army of yellow running canaries came rushing down from the mountain top, the straw hat boy ran away in front of him and shuffled in the trees Ray moved forward at an amazing pace, but the most important part of the whole thing was that this group was running towards them and didn't look like they were going to stop anytime soon.
,, Hey Zorro, Chopper, what's up ?! ", her captain called.“Apparently a lot! ", Zorro growled and drew his swords.
“Don't you dare to slaughter the birds, they're just kidding! ", Ray called to him.
“But it doesn't look like that! ", Zorro threw back, he didn't know why, but he shoved his swords back into their sheaths.
“Run! ", Luffy asked his people. He shouldn't have said anything about that, because the two were already about to run away. They ran on past a small river that meandered peacefully through the landscape, then they ran through a small one Valley (how big is the island actually?), There were hardly any trees that Ray had to take the ground path, she managed to keep up with the pace of the others, but the most dangerous thing was the gorge that led through one mountain "Here only three could run next to each other at a time. Zorro is already wondering how long the birds would run after them.
“They chase us until we have left the island, if they get hold of us, they want to tear us apart!"Chopper translated.
“Ha, that’s going to be fun! ", laughed Luffy, who still didn't understand the seriousness of the situation.
“But some people don't get the running around so well! ", remarked Zorro, who had been watching for a long time how Ray ran laboriously behind them, they couldn't expect that from her, they didn't even know how much she could take, in principle they didn't know anything about her, except that she was quite stubborn and always wanted his head through the wall, like Luffy ... Zorro had to grin, a second Luffy, well that would be something!
