The Port of Nanohana (closed w/ @theflamingspade)
The Going Merry docked on the port of Nanohana and the crew quickly dispersed. Despite the encounter with the Clone-Clone Devil Fruit person, and seeing Mr. 3's Wax-Wax powered ship docked on their way in, the crew was in good spirits; only Vivi seemed to be nervous about things, but while Wren had some reservations they trusted the crew.
Trusted them enough to go out on their own looking for clothing that Vivi had put on their shopping list as well as the supplies for the ship itself and a new cord for Wren's Meteor Hammer. This one didn't need to be replaced yet, but if things get ugly it wouldn't do for it to break in battle.
As it was, Wren was doing relatively well in the heat. Despite the shipwreck that brought them to their crew and how much the sun affected them, this was nothing like being on a dingy with no water.
Water. They needed to buy water too.
Wren spotted a place called the Spice Bean that looked and smelled nice, but there was a huge crowd. Still, it seemed like the only decent eatery around, and it had a roof so it would be cooler inside.
As they approached however, Wren heard some alarming things. Someone had died inside? That was very alarming.
One hand went to touch the coiled cord at their hip as they pushed through the crowd. Ready for... whatever might lay inside. Instead of any assailants though, Wren saw the crowd giving a wide berth to a tattooed man who sat at the bar, face down in his food. How was he breathing?
Wren pushed through the crowd to approach. They weren't worried about them, as they didn't have a bounty yet (small mercies). They stepped forward, as no one else seemed to want to, and went to touch the man's shoulder. To shake him, to take a pulse... something.
