After a week of sailing and several days of being tossed around at sea, Annie finally found the Sunny's first crew member, Roronoa Zoro.
Unfortunately, after a fierce battle with the baboons, he'd promptly passed out. Judging by his injuries, he definitely wouldn't wake up for at least two or three days.
So Annie returned to their previous lodgings with Perona, the young woman with pink twin tails, a crown on her head, and a fondness for floating through the air with a wine-red umbrella in hand. They went back to the huge, empty castle to rest for a while.
Annie could easily have healed that idiot, Uncle Zoro, but she didn't want to. Nor was she in any hurry to look for the other crew members. She planned to spend some time on this strange island of Kuraigana.
As for whether staying on the island would make Uncle Hachi and Dibarou, who were waiting for her five nautical miles away, anxious and worried, that sort of little thing was definitely not something she'd concern herself with.
"This place is huge!"
(⊙o⊙*)
"Hey, Sister Perona, have you always lived here by yourself?"

Seated on Tibbers' shoulder, Annie had taken a tour of the huge castle. When she finally returned to the great hall, she curiously asked the young woman lounging on the sofa with a glass of red wine.
"No!"
"I only came here after I woke up from being sent flying by that Warlord, Bartholomew Kuma. There wasn't a soul on the island, and the same went for this castle, so I moved in for a while."
"Then..."
"That idiot with the swords got sent flying here too, so I rescued him while I was at it!"
Perona sounded a little disgruntled and annoyed.
She'd been terribly lonely
