"Uuuuuuh. I don't know. I can't decide!"
You look around the place and snatch one of the dice that Will was playing with.
"Let's decide with this one!"
You roll the piece of ivory on the floor and it gives you a big, fat 1.
"Aw. I guess we're going to Weenie Hut Island then."
"If you don't like it why didn't you pick any of the other ones?!"
"Because Shelley is not strong. Then again she is very small. But hopefully she'll grow up from a few adventures. Anyway, make haste towards that island! I crave adventure!"
"Aye aye."
With a half-hearted cheer everyone returned to their positions as you headed for your new destination. Getting down from the White Sea was much harder than getting up. Going downward on invisible slopes with a ship is scary business. And even though the Dauntless can fly it wouldn't be too smart to start that from this height. So you instead clenched your teeth and descended the hard way. Thankfully once on regular water it was smooth sailing from there. So smooth in fact that Nutmeg decided to approach you in a quiet moment.
"So... City of Gold huh? Bit much for a first island but I'm not complaining."
"You're supposed to be the smart one out of us. That was the second island."
"You know what I mean. But all that and it's already onto the next one. You really don't know what breaks are, do you?"
"NOPE!"
"Anyway, I've been meaning to talk to you about something. I don't know if you noticed but... there was a Poneglyph up on that island. I'm just telling you because I care. But let's try to keep our distance from those in the future, shall we? I'd rather not get tangled up in all that business."
"Why? I've been reading them a bunch and nothing happened yet."
"Wait. You found multiple ones? Whew. You must be the unluckiest person in the- wait. R-Read? You mean you found."
"No. I can read them."
Nutmegs face becomes frozen and all color drains from it.
"Someone. Please tell me he's joking."
"He's not!"
Anns shouting can be heard from below deck.
"SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"
Suddenly she smacks your cheeks from both sides and sandwiches your face so she can pull it up to hers.
"Listen honey! Do not, I repeat, DO NOT reveal that in front of Mama! Do not speak about Poneglyphs! In fact do not even THINK about them!"
Hearing the commotion some of the others start looking at you.
"Why? We knew the government doesn't like it. But why is it an issue with the Yonko?"
"Nothing erm... Billy?"
"Will."
"Will. In fact, that's the one thing any of the Yonko would go to war over. Someone who can read the Poneglyphs. I'm just gonna say it. The only reason no Pirate King has been made yet is because nobody can read the blasted things!"
"Wait. Why?"
"I'm not telling."
"WHY?!"
"Because my husband does not like spoilers."
"A'ight. Fair."
