"Ahh..."
"I feel so much better after catching up on sleep."
Zoro opened his eyes with a contented look. The Crow's Nest really suited him best.
He could keep watch against nighttime attacks and train his body up there, too.
"Hm?"
"Why are those guys building snowmen?"
Leaning against the window, Zoro watched the people bustling below.
"That snowman... is it Merry?" Zoro stared in surprise at the snowman beside Xi Yan. He hadn't expected anyone to make one so lifelike.
"Wow, Xi Yan, your snowman is amazing!" Merry looked at the snowman that resembled her. "Is that me?"
"Yep. I made it to look like you." Xi Yan smiled. "What do you think?"
"It's wonderful! I love it!"
Merry dropped her little shovel and abandoned her own snowman, circling the one Xi Yan had made.
"Hee-hee, Merry twins!"
"Glad you like it."
"Damn it. I never thought he'd be this good at building snowmen," Usopp said. "Looks like I'll have to show what I can really do."
"I think mine's pretty good too," Luffy said, picking his nose.
Usopp: ...
Usopp glanced at Luffy's snowman and fell into deep thought.
Uneven eyes, no nose, and a mouth punched into its face. Could anyone really call that good?
Just then, Zoro's voice rang out from above, apparently through a megaphone.
"Hey, there's a pirate ship in the distance. It looks kind of strange."
That immediately caught everyone's attention.
Robin and the others came out of the cabin and looked toward it in puzzlement.
"Let me see." Usopp peered through his telescope. "You're right... They don't have a flag or sails."
"Then they're just drifting!" Nami said.
Without sails, a ship couldn't control its movement. Not every ship had paddle wheels.
"That does remind me of a game we played once..."
