The island was vast, its dense forest and winding paths creating a labyrinth that even the most skilled navigator would struggle with. Splitting up to gather supplies seemed like a good idea at first—until you found yourself completely, utterly lost. Hopefully you'll be able to meet up with Luffy and the crew later.
You sighed, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings. “Great. Just great,” you muttered to yourself, kicking a small rock on the ground. “Why do I always end up lost?”
Resigned to your fate, you decided to make the most of it and began wandering. The scenery was stunning, with vibrant greenery and the occasional exotic animal darting through the trees, but none of it helped you figure out where you were—or how to get back to the ship.
After what felt like hours of aimless wandering, you stumbled upon a small shop tucked into the edge of the forest. It was quaint, with a wooden sign swaying gently in the breeze. The word “Curiosities” was painted in faded gold lettering, but what caught your attention was the intricate dragon carvings that adorned the entrance.
Curiosity got the better of you, and you pushed the door open, a small bell jingling as you stepped inside. The interior was dimly lit, with shelves lined with all sorts of strange items—statues, weapons, jewelry, all bearing dragon motifs.
“Whoa,” you whispered, running your fingers over a polished dragon figurine. The craftsmanship was exquisite, each scale etched with precision. You couldn’t help but marvel at the collection, momentarily forgetting how lost you were.
“You’ve got an eye for quality,” a voice startled you from behind. An older shopkeeper emerged from the shadows, a friendly but knowing smile on their face. “Lost, aren’t you?”
