The Straw Hats arrived to an unfamiliar island. It looked like a jungle- there were a lot of trees and caves and the each pair couldn't see any sign of civilization. But what Sanji and Zoro didn't know was that along with dinosaurs, giants lived on this island.
As the two men quarreled after killing the dinosaur, Zoro suddenly heard something and told Sanji to wait. He followed the sound of a childish laugh, curious to see if there were other people there, and who they were.
But he wasn't able to walk farther when he saw a dark blue figure. He wondered if that person was a local here.
"Do you live here?", he asked.
(SIDE NOTE FOR HNK READERS: This interaction is after Ventricosus & Phos head into the ocean, but things go a little differently! ;3…)
「 After returning Ventricosus back into the ocean, Phos, in an exhausted daze of walking…ended somewhere else. Rising up from the depths, sunlight shining once again and sparkling through their hair… 」
“Nnnh…exhausted…Barely made it back…”
「 The mineral didn’t realize they reached new, uncharted territories. At least, for their kind. 」
「 It takes them a second as they look left, then right. Phosphophyllite aimlessly wanders. Their curiosity morphs into excitement. This would be perfect for the encyclopedia! The master scholar is victorious once again! Though they do wish they had their clipboard with them rather than the bowl they used to carry Ventri’s smaller form… 」
「 …Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Phos turns—a little wide eyed. 」
「 It didn’t look like a Lunarian. No. Those would’ve tried to take them by now. An admira…whatever it was..? No. It would’ve been deep in the ocean along with Ventri, and…it was only just them two there. 」
“…Are you from here? What are…you?”
