Chapter 20 Landfall

.

'Land! ' Usopp called down from his perch in the rigging.

'What?! ' Nami looked up startled. 'Where? '

'Forward, slightly port. ' He pointed to clarify.

'I don 't see it. ' Vivi complained from the bow peering over the water.

'Wait for it. ' Luffy laughed. 'Usopp has the best eyes. You 'll see it soon. '

'It 's too early. ' Nami protested. 'We 're definitely near a spring or summer island not a winter island. '

'New island! ' Luffy cheered throwing his hands up. 'I see it! Let 's go! '

'Are you sure Luffy? I thought we were headed to Drum? ' Nami hesitated, looking at her pose.

'We can stop at one island. ' Luffy 's tone soured. 'It 's an adventure! Look Nami! Purple trees! '

There were indeed purple trunked trees. They had to be huge to see so clearly. The island looked small with black sand beach circling the forest. Usopp pulled out his telescope and scanned for any signs of people or predators.
