Good news!

It seems we haven't strayed as far as I thought. This island is actually somewhat close to the Christmas island, as Beckman-san postulated. According to the townsfolk, this is the next stop. However, the Christmas island is opposite of the direction we are being guided. I asked the locals what they thought of our situation, and they said this actually happens every so often in conjunction with the appearance of one Valentino Island, which is apparently not always present. At any rate, we at least have an idea of where we are headed. I don't know how long it will take for us to reach our destination, but at least we can rule out the possibility that this was orchestrated as a trap. I worry that the Marines might still try to use it as such, despite the best efforts of the Vice-Admiral and Commodore, and therefore would ask that everyone stay sharp, but not overdo it. I look forward to seeing everyone again soon!

Valentino Island? I think I saw that one of Smoker's maps.

[history-pirate.livejournal.com]

Oh? I'd be interested to know any information you might be able to find on it.

[mikanhorizon.livejournal.com]

Do you think the map we all got is of this island?

[history-pirate.livejournal.com]

It could be. I honestly have no way of knowing until we get there.

[mikanhorizon.livejournal.com]

I'm going to the map room. I know I've seen that name.

Perhaps we should have one of the women on board the Sunny check our library for information, since I believe it will be the most extensive.

[mikanhorizon.livejournal.com]

Oh, maybe. Do you think we have something on it?

[history-pirate.livejournal.com]

Between you, me, and Chopper-kun it's quite possible. We do tend to collect some rather interesting books.

[mikanhorizon.livejournal.com]

True enough. But who would be willing to go through it all?

[history-pirate.livejournal.com]

That I don't know. From the posts, the easiest to convince would be Miss Tohru, but I fear she may not be able to find the necessary information. I have no desire to let Kalifa rummage through our logs without supervision, if we can avoid it. I have met Aya-san briefly- she might be able to help. I'm... unsure about the rest of the women there.

There's always Nanami.

[history-pirate.livejournal.com]

I'm not familiar with her. What is she like?

[mikanhorizon.livejournal.com]

She and I aren't the best of friends, but I think she's the only one who could handle it.

[sekuharadesu.livejournal.com]

You wound me. As if I wouldn't have done that at the first possible opportunity. Truly, I'm hurt.

Still, it would be no trouble for me to send you the information you want. If you're prepared to ask nicely. ♥

SUCH DILIGENCE! I am quite impressed, my glorious dark princess.

[history-pirate.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm sure you are. What will you do with clear hallways, I wonder?

[gloriouspirate.livejournal.com]

FIND MY WAY TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL PRESENCE!

From what I've heard it should take us a few more days to reach Valentino Island. We should be there by Friday. Depending on where the other ships are, I may be able to figure out when they will arrive as well.

[history-pirate.livejournal.com]

That's wonderful!

Not that I haven't enjoyed sharing a vessel with you, Beckman-san. I just wish to be among family again, is all.

[benneybeckbeck.livejournal.com]

Mm. You are not the only one, Robin. It will be nice to be with my crew again.
