One Proness Sunday

ONE PRONESS

Wealth, fame, power
The man who has acquired everything in this world, the Self-Proclaimed Pro, Vernon.
The final words that were said before Dave killed him sent Samy to the seas.
"My wealth and my treasures?"
"If you want it, I'll let you have it."
"Look for it, I left all of it at that place!"
Samy now, chasing his dreams, heads towards the Grand Line.
The world now enters a Great Age of Proness!

Gathering together all our dreams.
We'll find the things that we're looking for.
ONE PRONESS!
Things like a compass are just a source of delay.
We'll heat it up and take the helm.
Even a dusty treasure map,
Is not a legend if it has been proven!
For a personal storm you just have to
ride on someone's biorhythm!
It's alright to think about it!
By gathering together all the dreams,
We'll find the things that we are looking for.
A pocket of coins,
and you wanna be my friend?
We are, We are on the cruise!
We are!

"Hmmm..." Caleb looked around. They were near the border of the forest, Samy and Yuchi sitting with him around a little fire.

"What's wrong, Caleb?" Yuchi asked. "Aren't you going to eat?"

"Yeah, this meat is delicious. Your cooking skills are really great, Caleb." Samy commented, taking another huge bite out of the drumstick he is cooking.

"Nah, I'm not hungry yet." Caleb replied.

"Where's Dave?" Yuchi stood up, looking around.

"Still attempting to destroy Vernon's blog." Samy replied. Caleb stood up as well, as he and Yuchi looked onwards. The exit of the forest is some barrens land, and a short distance away is a man, older than them, grabbing a huge blade and standing in front of some dust that was originally Vernon's blog.

"Wow! I think he managed to crush them to fine powder!" Caleb looked, while Yuchi jumped excitedly to get a better view.

"He won't be happy just doing that," Samy explained, tearing up another part of the meat with his teeth. "He would want to melt and boil them."

"Is it even possible?" asked Caleb with a concerned face, looking at Dave as he starts to conjure up a huge inferno.

"He always told me that 'With determination, a rod can become a needle'." Samy explained, throwing away the bone and approaching the fire for another.

"Hey, that's Dave's." Caleb stopped him.

"Damn, I'm still hungry." Samy complained, lying down.

"Hey, guys, left any food for me?" Dave asked as he approached.

"You finally melted that blasted cave?" Samy asked, grazing at the stars.

"No. A wind came and blew them away. Visibility is too low." Dave replied.

Yuchi looked at the direction where Vernon's blog originally was. Indeed, a barrier of sand was affecting visibility.

"What the? Just two drumsticks?" Dave asked as he sat down.

"Yeah, I'm still hungry." Samy complained.

"Well, you can go and help us get some food if you want!" Caleb replied angrily.

"Nah, I'm too beat. That fight with Vernon really took much of my energies. And to believe I couldn't get a single kill. You guys are such Kill Stealers." Samy said as he sat up.

"Wait..." Dave suddenly said as he stood up. "The wind... Everyone, cover your eyes!!"

"What, why?" Yuchi asked.

Out of the blue, a huge wind blow onwards from the direction where Vernon's blog used to be, blowing all the sand along with it.

"Thanks for making this sandstorm, Dave!!" Samy shouted.

"Shut up if you still want to see tomorrow's sunrise!!" Dave roared.

"We don't see sunrises! How about sunsets?" Yuchi screamed.

As sudden as the wind came, it stopped.

"Urgh!" Samy shouted as he broke free of the sand. "Everyone all right?"

"I'm fine." Yuchi said as he looked around. The fire became extinguished, and everyone was covered in sand by two feets.

"Damn it, why must you break that cave into sand?!" Caleb asked angrily as he got out.

"Look! Behind that dungeon... It's the sea!" Dave realized, pointing at the direction.

"Remember what we read at Vernon's blog?" Samy asked excitedly. "We are to search for the legendary treasure: One Proness! It's our destiny!"

"And that treasure is hidden beyond the ocean!!" Yuchi realized, jumping around.

"Let's set sail, on the ultimate voyage, to find it!!" Caleb folded his arms, looking impressively.

"But can we grab some food first? The sandstorm blew away my drumsticks." Dave said.

Everyone fainted, anime-styled.

The next day...

"Thanks for lending us your ship, Mark." Samy told his cousin.

"Nah, it's of no problem." Mark replied. "Say, where are you going?"

"We are going to find One Proness." Dave added.

"What? No way!" Mark was taken aback.

"Yes way! If anyone can find it, we can!" Samy looked confident.

"And where are you going to find it?" Mark asked.

"We'll set sail at the sea near Vernon's blog!" Samy replied.

"Northeast." Dave added.

"You guys are heading towards the Sevii Islands?" Mark asked.

"Sevil... Islands?" Samy asked.

"It is a chain of seven islands to the northeast, Samy. I'm surprised you haven't heard of it." Dave explained.

"Yeah. The island closest to us is One Island, so no doubt you will stop there first." Mark added.

"One Island. Sweet." Samy licked his lips. "I bet Yuchi and Caleb finished with moving the provisions into the ship. Let's go, Dave."

"Roger that." Dave replied as he followed Samy.

"Wait... Wait!" Mark suddenly shouted. Samy and Dave turned their heads.

"I'm going with you. An old friend of mine lives on Three Island. Since you guys are going that direction, I'll go with you to visit him." Mark said.

"You'll be leaving us when we reached Three Island, I suppose?" Dave asked.

"Yes." Mark nodded his head.

"Welcome to the party! Let's get to the dock!" Samy cheered, as the three warriors ran to the dock.

"Hey, there you are!" Caleb shouted out as he saw Samy approaching, standing at the deck of the ship.

"We finished loading the stuff. All waiting for you." Yuchi reported as he ran down the ship.

"Very good." Samy said, as he boarded the ship.

"Who is this?" Yuchi asked.

"He's Mark. My cousin and the owner of this ship." Dave answered as he followed Samy.

They quickly went to the deck.

"Now, let's set sail! To find One Proness!" Samy shouted, as everyone cheered loudly.

"Wait... Shouldn't we settle on who would be the Captain, the Navigator and the Cook?" Mark asked.

"I'll volunteer to be the cook! No one can cook better than me!" Caleb said proudly.

"I'll be the navigator then." Mark replied.

"Who will be the captain?" Samy asked.

"You." Both Dave and Yuchi replied.

"Now, Captain, where to?" Mark and Caleb asked.

"To One Island!" Samy shouted, as everyone cheered.
