The Red Sea and the Dead Sea
Jordan’s two seas couldn’t be more different. One is full of life and ships with the country’s only port, the other is almost completely devoid of life and the only boats belong to the military. Also only one of them is actually a sea… Jordan’s gateway to the Red Sea is the town of Aqaba, a popular holiday spot for access to the sea, and it has a reputation as a buzzy place. I stopped there for…

➳ categories: canonverse, gender neutral reader, post-thriller bark arc
➳ word count: 2.3k
➳ summary: Roronoa Zoro aspires to be the World's Greatest Swordsman, but he has to fight many enemies and defeat the current greatest to achieve such a title. Besides those things, is there anything else that he has to do? He doesn't think there is any until he's presented with an unusual challenge: to kill a dangerous immortal without his knowledge.
➳ notes: spa island was the island the straw hats visited for a filler arc. thanks for the request anon! 🧡
➳ cross-posted on ao3
Tumblr media
Zoro hears the rustling of leaves.
In the dense dark woods, he can make out a shadowy figure meandering through the boreal trees, twisting and turning to avoid making any noise—but Zoro is observant when he puts his mind to it, so he does just that, going as far as to ignoring the temptation of the unopened bottle of sake in front of him.
Suddenly, the shadow disappears. Zoro decides to ignore it and enjoy his sake.
The next day, the Straw Hats arrive at Spa Island, a resort built on top of a ship that drifts in the sea. His mates have changed out of their regular clothes into swimwear, but Zoro refuses to leave his swords unattended, so he dresses himself in a white tank top and green shorts before setting foot on the resort.
Having decided against dipping into the swimming pool with Franky, boredom creeps into Zoro's mind the more he wanders about the unusual island. He tries to find something to entertain himself with, but nothing comes to mind.
That is, until the News Coo arrives.
Zoro seizes the newspaper that lands on top of his head, grunting at the gull that flies past him speedily. He stops dead in his tracks and opens the newspaper.
A wanted poster falls out.
Zoro picks it up from the ground.
'WANTED. ONLY DEAD: (Y/N).'
His eyes widen at your bounty.
'B 540,000,000.'
A bitter taste settles in his mouth. Your bounty is dangerously higher than his, which makes Zoro wonder what you could have possibly done to the Marines for them to give you such a number. He himself stood face-to-face with two Warlords at Thriller Bark, yet his bounty stays at 120 million berries. A number as huge as yours is an impressive nightmare.
He places your poster back inside the newspaper and tucks it in his armpit. Making his way to the restobar, he decides to meet up with Luffy in an attempt to find something more worthwhile to invest his time and effort in.
Tumblr media
By the time the sun goes down, Zoro still has nothing better to do apart from drinking.
Luffy is beside him, stuffing his mouth with meat like a starved man, while the rest of the crew are hanging out by the open tent, individually sipping on their piña colada's and drinks that Sanji (for some odd reason) served them. When Zoro is spent on his drink, he decides to explore the resort after being warned by Chopper multiple times to be careful of his surroundings.
He snickers. It's just a resort, he thought to himself smugly.
He walks a great distance away from the restobar, scanning the giant swimming pools and waterslides at the park. The guests have wind down and the numbers have dwindled, leaving only staff and stubborn guests wandering about. Zoro figures he's one of those people, but he doesn't care and continues with his stroll.
Once the sun is out and the moon shines near midnight, Zoro is successfully lost in some part of the island resort with no clue of how to get back to where he came. He looks to his right, to his left, and curses himself bashfully when he realizes that he cannot decipher which way is which.
Ashamed, Zoro continues walking until he reaches the end of the island, overlooking the sea.
He relaxes at the sight, taking in the view.
Then he hears it again.
The rustling of leaves.
He whips his head to the direction of the sound and clutches the handles of his swords. A gust of wind blows past him and the rustling gets louder. It's almost eerie, but Zoro doesn't get scared easily. No, he isn't frightened.
So when he's ambushed by someone to his right, he blocks the hits successfully.
He doesn't struggle, but he's close. Adept with a sword, you advance forward in an attempt to topple him over, but Zoro has the upper hand with his two other swords supporting his strength. He resists your attacks and dodges your advances gracefully, looking for a way to defeat you through combat—but you resist with equal force, the inner flow of your energy imbuing the blade of your sword from the tip to its hilt. Zoro swings his sword across your chest, but you veer out of the way and angle your blade to block another hit.
To your misery, his third blade digs into your skin, deep enough to leave a wound past its outermost layer.
Your breath hitches, and your stomach turns.
Zoro pushes you to the ground, his blade centimeters deep, but you helplessly squirm in his grasp. He wraps his fingers around your throat and observes you intently, a stranger to your being but seemingly familiar with your face. You wriggle underneath him, but he tightens the chokehold.
That's right—you're the wanted pirate on the poster he found earlier, tucked in between the pages of today's newspaper. Your photo was an illustration, but it was badly drawn, almost like a century-old sketch with lazy coloring that rendered you unrecognizable. Now that he has a good look at your face, Zoro can confirm that it's really you.
At that second, Zoro wants to finish you off quickly so that he can regroup with his crew and they can leave the island as soon as they came. While he doesn't know what you do and what you came for, Zoro surmises that you're dangerous, a threat to him and his crew with your large bounty. Now that he has you restrained underneath him, he's bound to not let go.
However, in the split second he thinks to himself, a faint memory hammers in his head, one that he encountered not long ago.
Tumblr media
"This place is a historian's nightmare," said Robin as she walked past the group, striding down the hallway of the Thriller Bark ship. She stood in front of a painting that hung on the wall, dusty and long forgotten, and ran her fingertips across the gold frame that enclosed the relic.
Zoro looked at the walls as he walked. He wasn't a fan, but a select few depicted dramatic movements and action, rich details and intricate poses of warriors in battle that piqued his interest. He walked ahead of his crew as he observed, passing Robin, who was deeply entranced by an old portrait of a figure—a young adult, not much older than Zoro himself, dressed in obsolete clothing that dated back to at least a thousand years ago.
Tumblr media
When Zoro looks back at you, he catches a glint in your eyes that swirl with a bountiful of emotions—fright, desperation, and aggravation. Yet the corners of your lips twitch upward slightly, a subtle motion that he would have otherwise missed if only he wasn't attentive.
Suddenly, Zoro eases the force on your neck. He withdraws his blade, allowing the blood to drip down your skin and pool on the ground.
The twinkle in your eyes disappears just as fast.
Still holding you, Zoro demands, "You don't want to die, do you?"
"I don't!" You kick your feet desperately. "Let me go or I'll kill you and your crew! Let me go!"
His grip loosens on your neck.
In a bat of an eye, he pushes you to the ground and your head makes contact with the cold concrete. Afterward, he rises to his feet.
"Liar," he spits, watching you choke as you regain your breathing. "What are you here for?"
You cough on air, unresponsive. He watches you with a hard gaze.
Zoro has been in countless battles all his life—it's no question as the retired pirate hunter of the East Blue and the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates. In that regard, he can read his opponent expertly, seeing through their intentions and the inner workings of their minds akin to reading a book. The moment he looked at you, he recognized the emotions that smothered your face all too well, but something about the way you present them are baffling, unexpected.
The shine in your eyes was different. It was nothing he had ever seen before in battle, not even in the irises of his weakest enemy.
Zoro realizes that you're not desperate to live.
You're desperate to die.
"Answer me," he growls.
"I-I thought"—you cough—"I thought you were going to kill me..."
"I wasn't."
"But why? What stopped you, swordsman? Are you too feeble to kill another?!"
Zoro withdraws his blades into their scabbards. He notices the surprise in your eyes, the kind of emotion that shows disappointment. Your fright is gone, leaving only sadness to consume you.
"I don't kill without proper reason," he says. You glare at him. You're breaking character. "What are you here for?"
"I'm going to kill you," you mutter. Zoro is unfazed. "I'm going to kill you!"
At that very second, you grab your sword and activate your powers, coating the blade with the energy of your Haki. Zoro retaliates, but he resists your attacks eventually, careful enough not to hit you too hard.
Your wanted poster flashes in his imagination.
'WANTED. ONLY DEAD: (Y/N). B 540,000,000'
You tilt your sword and attack his side, your coated blade millimeters away from his bare skin. Zoro grits his teeth as he holds his defense.
'ONLY DEAD: (Y/N).'
'ONLY DEAD.'
"The Marines want you dead," he says. "Your bounty is higher than half of the Warlords, but you want to die in my hands. What do you want?!"
He pushes his blade toward you, shoving you far enough to regain his stance.
"A fight!"
You charge at him a second time, lunging forward too quickly that he misses the way you attack him. You lacerate the skin of his biceps with your hardened blade, and he gets a taste of your strength, the type to be expected of the pirate with half a billion berries— but Zoro refuses to go down with a pathetic injury, so he endures your advances and fights you off agitatedly.
As if in slow-motion, he swings his blade aggressively to your chest.
To his surprise, you move toward it, meeting the blade with your skin, the area closest to your heart.
His eyes grow large when his blade cuts into your body only to ricochet back into his hand, his attack backfiring as the force blows him away.
Zoro lands a few meters away from you upon impact, his swords thankfully still in his hands. He winces in pain, but he recovers immediately and lifts his head to look at you.
You drop your sword to the ground. You're bleeding terribly. Blood oozes from the area which the swordsman had cut, and it continues to pour down your body nonstop, slowly creating a pool of red liquid beneath your feet. Holding onto your chest, you walk toward the edge of the island.
"Now we wait," you mumble.
Zoro stands back up and charges toward you, but he forgoes his blades and instead grabs your wrist. He spins you around and pulls you away from the ledge, eventually throwing you to the ground once more.
Yet you lay there, unbothered, until you help yourself back up on your feet, completely ignoring the blood dripping down your body... like it's not painful at all.
Zoro watches in horror as you collect yourself in front of him, standing a few meters away with exhausted hooded eyes trained on the ground.
"Well," you say to yourself, "I'm still alive."
You look up from the ground and stare at the swordsman in front of you.
"Even if I had begged, it still wouldn't have made a difference."
You fall to your knees.
"Unless... I try..." you whisper. You crawl closer to Zoro, who backs away with every step you take closer to him. "Roronoa Zoro, is it? The swordsman of the Straw Hats, the man who faced three different Warlords in the past months?"
With quivering lips, you stretch your hands out to him.
"You're... you're strong. I know that you are. You may not be as wanted now, but the New World awaits your kind."
"Keep your distance," he orders.
You ignore him.
"I have to ask a favor." You crawl to his feet hastily, gripping his legs. His jaw falls ajar. "Kill me. Please, just kill me. Do anything in your power to make sure that I don't leave here alive."
He gulps. Zoro tries to wrest his legs free from your hands, but you don't let go of him.
"Please!" You cry. "You want to be the world's greatest swordsman, don't you? Why not put yourself up for the challenge and kill an immortal?"
Looking up at the sky, lightning strikes past the clouds as thunder erupts in your vast surroundings, defeating the sound of waves that crash on the island ship's foundation. Zoro stares at you. He shakes his head in confusion.
"Immortal?" he repeats aloud.
He looks down at your bloodstained garments. You have lost a lot of blood, but you remain strong and standing, almost as if you were never injured to begin with.
"I can't feel pain," you whisper. "I tried to fight you, but I couldn't get you to kill me unless I forced myself at the tip of your blades. I had to act. I had to pretend to be hurt."
You clench his hands in yours.
"Please," you cry, "please help me."
Zoro keeps quiet, gathering his thoughts for a second.
Your bounty, your wanted poster, your questionable strength, the portrait back in Thriller Bark dating over a millennium ago—everything begins to dawn on him at that very moment. Zoro's eyes go wide as he realizes the weight of the circumstances, and for the first time in his life, he feels a chill run down his spine.
"Roronoa Zoro, please save me."
He purses his lips together.
Pulling you to your feet, Zoro makes up his mind.
"Stand up. I'm bringing you somewhere."
-
thanks for reading! if anyone would like to continue this story/write their own take to the prompt, i would be happy to read it! i found the prompt easy to interpret at first, but i soon had trouble with it due to the concept of immortality (e.g. do immortal beings feel pain/get injured? do they have regenerative abilities? if they don't, do they just live on with damaged organs until they stop working? in that case, wouldn't immortal beings be capable of dying?) even the universe of one piece hasn't given much depth to this concept yet, so if you want to put your own twist to it, please be my guest :)
p.s., the ending was meant to hint at zoro bringing the reader over to luffy and crew (because the reader may have lived to witness the void century, hence the bounty), but you can interpret it whichever way you want.

Predictions for Percy Jackson S2
So season 1 used chapter titles for the episode titles and it got me thinking about which SOM chapter titles will be used for season 2 and how the book will be split up over 8 episodes.
I'm gonna run on the assumption that the success of season 1 will mean more budget for season 2, including having episodes that are all at least an hour long.
Spoiler warning for Sea of Monsters (the book). Predictions are under the cut.
Episode 1: I Play Dodgeball With Cannibals
Comprising Chapters 1-3
Episode opens with Grover being chased by Polyphemus. He runs into a bridal boutique and dons a dress. Polyphemus shadow looms over him as he turns to look directly in the camera and says "Percy, you have to help me." Percy then suddenly awakes from the dream.
We'll then get our introduction to Tyson. Probably via him and Percy walking to school together. First class is gym!
Dodgeball match plays out more or less like the books.
Annabeth hails the Gray Sisters taxi & they ride to CHB.
Episode ends with them arriving a the bottom of the hill and staring on in horror as they witness mechanical bulls wreaking havoc.
Episode 2: Tyson Plays With Fire
Comprising Chapters 4-7
Opens back up to the horrified faces of Annabeth, Percy, and Tyson seeing the mechanical bulls. The fght with the bulls then plays out similarly to the books, including the Tyson is a cyclops reveal.
Tantalus is introduced & and announces the chariot races.
First chariot races occurs with the birds attacking. I genuinenly hope they "defeat" them in the same way as the books where they play Chiron's shitty music, but I'm not 100% they'll go that route.
Clarisse is chosen for the Golden Fleece quest. Percy is upset. I think they might slightly change this and have him choose to run off on his own to save Grover, and once he's on the beach, he runs into Hermes.
Episode ends with Hermes giving Percy the gifts, Annabeth and Tyson running over. And then the camera pans out to a cruise ship out in the distance (The Princess Andromeda!)
Episode 3: I Have The Worst Family Reunion Ever
Comprising Chapters 8-9
I think this episode will open with a flashback to Annabeth, Luke, and Thalia during their time with the Brooklyn cyclops. Probably not much will be revealed beyond Annabeth being young and scared and we won't see what it is that she's scared off.
Cut to the present: Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson are already on the ship. Probs some exposition dialouge about the name of the ship and "Why did Hermes want us to board this ship?"
We'll end up having the confrontation with Luke more or less how it happens in the book. Might have a couple more Annabeth flashbacks thrown in as well, but we don't ever see what she's running from.
Ends with them escaping on the emergency raft.
Episode 4: Clarisse Blows Up Everything
Comprising Chapters 10-11
Opens with them on the raft, probably talking or something, when suddenly a raucous noise draws their attention to Clarisse's ship.
The Charybidis & Scylla fight plays out more or less like the books except literally no one is sad about confederate ghosts dying (redying???)
I imagine we'll have some concurrent Grover and Polyphemus storyline throughout this episode.
Ends with everything being blown up and Percy believing Tyson is dead.
Episode 5: We Check into C.C.'s Spa and Resort
Comprising Chapter 12
Opens with Annabeth and Percy washed up on the shores of Circe's Island.
In the books, I'm pretty sure the island has an enchantment that is part of the reason they don't realize something is up right away and I would love for them to keep that for the show.
Percy's half of the story will play out similarly to the books with the guinea pig stuff.
We'll also get to see what Annabeth is doing on the island. I want it to be clear that she's trying to fight the enchantment, but is struggling (can an athena kid resist the temptation of knowledge?). Her concern for Percy is what helps to pull her out of it ("Where's Percy? What did you do to him?")
Annabeth rescues Percy like in the books with the Multivitamins. They escape to the boat. The escape scene could be drawn out a bit more than it is in the books for ~suspense~
Episode ends with them sailing off.
Episode 6: Annabeth Tries to Swim Home
Comprising Chapter 13
I think this episode will open up with another dream of Grover for Percy, to emphasize that time is running short.
Annabeth tells Percy she wants to hear the sirens.
I envision more Annabeth flashbacks this episode.
Annabeth dives, Percy saves her just like in the book.
They have a heart-to-heart about fatal flaws. Annabeth tells Percy about the Brooklyn cyclops, this is shown through flashback. We finally see what she's been scared of in these flashbacks the whole time. (We get to see baby Annabeth stab a cyclops in the foot bc she's a badass and we deserve to see it)
Episode ends with Polyphemus's Island coming into view and probs some line about "let's go save our friend".
Episode 7: We Meet the Sheep of Doom
Comprising Chapters 14-16
I think we'll open to Grover when Clarisse arrives to the cyclops lair and we'll watch her ruin his bride cover.
Then it switches to Annabeth and Percy on the island surveying the sheep and the fleece. After a moment, Annabeth says she has a plan.
Cut to Percy annoyed and hanging on the underbelly of giant sheep muttering about Annabeth's plan.
I think the ensuing Polyphemus confrontation will be pared down a bit for time, but will still include the initial fight in the cave, escaping across the bridge, and Tyson's triumphant return.
Episode ends with them leaving a wailing Polyphemus on the island.
Episode 8: The Fleece Works It's Magic Too Well
Comprising Chapters 17-20
They arrive on land, parse out Clarisse's prophecy and send her ahead with the fleece.
Luke and his crew show up. This confronation plays out similarly to the books with the IM message. Chiron and the Party Ponies arrive. Depending on their CGI capabilities, it might just be Chiron who arrives. Fighting ensues.
They get back to CHB where they witness Clarisse put the fleece on the tree. All seems to be well.
It's clear that some time has passed now. They do the second chariot race. Percy & Annabeth win. CHEEK KISS.
As they are celebrating, attention is drawn to Thalia's tree (maybe it's like glowing or something). The campers all head towards the tree to see what's up and find a girl lying against it. Her face is hidden. Percy asks her who she is and she looks up and we get to see her face for the first time.
"I am Thalia. Daughter of Zues." Roll credits.
I considered having the Thalia scene be a post-credit moment, but I think it's too important for setting up season 3 to not have as part of the main episode.
A good post-credit scene I think would be like Grover on the phone at Westover Hall and saying something like "All I know is that these two kids are powerful and they're in danger. I could use your help getting them to camp."
Anyways, I'd love to hear people's thoughts!

Cracking the Mid-Life Crisis (3960 words) by thesavagesabretooth Chapters: 1/1 Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Found Family, Gecko Moria joins Cross Guild, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Fluff and Humor, Angst and Humor, Humor, Father-Daughter Relationship, POV Perona
Summary: After Moria's punishing defeat by Luffy on Thriller Bark the warlord was discarded by the government and vanished from the world stage. When the warlord system is dissolved entirely, Perona goes on a mission to find her daddy and bring him back into the fold.
She finds him wasting away in margaritaville.
-
It had taken Perona quite some time after leaving Mihawk's castle to track down the man she was looking for, but now she had arrived at Yutsu Island, a resort island in the New World unaffiliated with the World Government and run as a tourist attraction for the elite and dangerous.
The World Government was cracking down all around them, Marine ships prowling the seas…affiliated islands setting traps in their ports as ‘bounty hunters’ and ‘traders’ pressed even deeper into waters the Government had no sway in.
Perona hated it. She hate, hate, hated having to skulk around after the dissolution of the Warlord system. After her own small ship was seized (she’d have to say sorry to Hawky later), she’d slipped away from the stupid marines to hitch ride after ride on friendly and unfriendly boats alike.
But she had to do it, she had to find her adoptive father to make sure he’d survived the beating the Marines had given him during that whole dumb war two years prior.
Her heeled boots clicked against the creaking wood of the dock as she stomped her way across with her parasol open to block out the hated sun. Lucky her, the roving ‘Gamble Pirates’ who’d taken her in for the trip weren’t the type to try to bully her into staying– she could save her energy for dragging her dad back from this overly bright and sunny place. 
The resort area glittered and gleamed just a stone's throw from the harbor– a mass of handsome buildings that glittered with colorful sea glass and some of the more modern architecture on the grand line. The place, she had heard, was run by a branch family of some deposed nobles from the North Blue– potentially related to the Vinsmokes. It was one of the many rumors she'd heard while gathering information about where Moria was.
And all the information she'd gathered said that he would be here; rumors and whispers that the former warlord was wasting away on cocktail island.
She puffed out her cheeks as she walked, her little ghosties leaking out from her parasol to surround her in swirling, lazy arcs that sent tourists stumbling away from their spectral giggling in fear of just what they might do.
It’d been two years…two years without a word while she thought he was dead. If it turned out he was getting DRUNK while Mihawk held his SUPER GOOD wine over her head for TWO WHOLE YEARS…
Well. She wasn’t actually going to complain about her time with the other warlord and Zoro…but STILL.
She was peeved about it enough for her horo horo ghostie friends to be manifesting in wiggly force. Not to mention this place really WAS too bright. “Wish I had sunglasses…” 
The light on the summer island was quite bright and warm, with hardly a cloud in the sky as she made her way through the crowds and toward the resort area. Stealthily she snuck through the lobby without a glance from security who were busy at the counter due to some woman who was yelling at the clerk there.
And once through the checkpoint she was able to access all the guest areas. The private beach. The restaurant. The casino. The spa. And who knew what else. It was a disgusting lap of luxury.
“And I didn’t even have a vampire maid or a handsome butler to make me bagel sandwiches an’ cocoa.” Perona pouted as she hugged Kumachi’s plush body to her side. Mihawk’s cooking was super good, of course, and Zoro would bring her things if she needled him enough and hung off his shoulders till he did it…but the principle of the thing was important! “This place looks…”
She stared down some well to do couple as they walked towards the beach with a sound dial blasting Uta’s latest single in hand.
“Pricey. And ostentatious. Dontcha think, Kumachi?”
Kumachi didn’t answer.
Perona followed the couple out onto the beach, which was a forest of brightly colored umbrellas and towels spread out over a blanket of glittering, beautiful white sand leading down to the bright blue ocean. People of all shapes and sizes wandered around in beach wear, holding colorful drinks being doled out by bartenders under thatched roof huts.
She sniffed disdainfully as she twisted her parasol over her head, taking to floating gently along instead of walking through the unsteady sand. 
“He couldn’t possibly be at the beach…”
“Horo horo” replied one of her ghosties, to which she giggled.
“I mean, obviously right? We didn’t even have a proper beach on Thriller Bark!” she waved her hand “he’s probably somewhere like the residential graveyard or something. Do resorts have graveyards?”
“Horo.” 
Perona practically tripped over him.
Moria was lying supine over an enormous beach lounge chair under an umbrella with a pair of opaque sunglasses covering most of his unmistakable face. He had a book across his chest, and a drink in the holder of his lounge. There was a sound dial sitting in the sand next to him and a wire trailed from it to one miniature speaker in his long pointed ear.
Tripping startled her once.
His loud snore startled her again.
“GAH!!!” Perona squeaked, stomping her foot on open air. “DADDY!! You IIIIIIIDIOT!”
She drew the attention of several beach-goers, but the moment she started hearing the whispering amongst them she sent her hollows to pass through them. Whispering turned to whines and whimpers of despair as she put her hands on her hips and looked down at the sleeping Moiria.
“....” She raised her leg and delivered a swift kick to his butt. “Wake up!!!” 
The kick didn't overbalance the lounge chair, but the startled jolt that rocked through Moria's body as he yelped in response and instinctively tried to roll away did. Former warlord, book, dial, all ended up sprawled in the sand, the drink splashing on top adding insult to injury.
“O-oops.” Perona looked from side to side. People were staring, but they were nobodies anyway. Nobody who mattered saw that.
She looked down at Kumachi with a sharp frown “Kumachi!! How could you do that? How could you kick dad like that??? When we get home you’re going in the iron maiden!”
Kumachi hung in silent understanding of just what he’d done and how he’d have to atone. 
Moria was already clambering up into a sitting position, wiping the drink off his face, and pushing the offending lounge chair away. He hissed and bared his fangs, looking around.
"Who dares to disturb the slumber of the mighty— Perona?? Whoah, what are you doing here?" His menacing snarl turned immediately into a cheerful grin that really emphasized how much sand and cocktail was still stuck to his face.
Perona clasped her hands together as if she didn’t just kick him into the sand like the Vinsmokes in the “Sora and the Sand-Castle of the Beach King” storyline from the papers.
“Daddyyy!! You’re alive! I’d heard you’d died ya know!” her hollows swarmed around her as she leaned down to offer him a hand up. “Gosh, you got a cocktail all over your face!” 
He took her hand with his large claw and grinned bashfully, trying to wipe off his face as he stood. "Yeah, whoops! Guess I got a little startled somehow."
Moria carefully stood up to his towering height, carefully ducking out from under the umbrella and Perona got a better look at him.
The lanky, long limbed pirate had certainly healed from the injuries she'd heard he'd received two years ago, and the light of the summer island seemed to have darkened the glimmering pale of his complexion just a little. The old stitch-mark scars down his face from where Kaidou had nearly cut him in half didn't show up quite as intensely any more. 
His red hair had grown out– possibly the entire two years– shaggy and loose around his horns, and he looked like he'd been taking care of himself, surprisingly. The muscles on his body were defined– save for the softness around his stomach that was clearly from an overabundance of cocktails.
All that was easy for Perona to take in– since he was only wearing a pair of beach shorts with a pattern of pumpkins on them, and a pair of sandals.
“....” She crossed her arms with Kumachi hanging from them, her lips petulantly pursed as she brushed her long, and now quite expertly curled even in the difficult situation she’d been traveling in, pink hair from her shoulders.
“I can see that! You look…” she trailed off for a moment. “comfortable? Looks like you’re healing up pretty good too! They said the marines blew you to pieces!” 
Moria rubbed the back of his neck and nodded rather limply. "They sure did. But hey! I'm back in one piece, huh? Cheated death again." He grinned but really, he just looked embarrassed about it. "It's great to see you, though! You look amazing! I heard rumors you were staying with Mihawk, was that true?"
“Uh huh. One of the World Government’s superweapons slapped me across the ocean and I crashed into his castle,” Perona put her hands on her hips. "He's been real nice to me, I even made a new close friend.” She emphasized it with a wicked little grin, “it was pretty nice, but ya know what woulda been better?” 
"Uhhhh?"
She pointed towards him. “Knowing my old man was still alive, dummy!!” the hollows around her tittered and laughed. 
"I wish I could have let you know, kiddo!" he said, holding up his hands with another fanged smile. "The government's after my ass though. If they find out where I am they might send a few fleets you know? and I was worried they'd try to use you as bait to get to me."
Perona pursed her lips, cheeks puffed out and her hands on her hips as she floated a little higher. 
“Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! What, ya think they’re gonna do that Buddy Call thing of theirs? Or kidnap me? They couldn’t, ya know! I’ve been training with Hawky and Zor—-”
She almost let her special friend slip…one of the straw hats who’d defeated her father and their pirate gang. He wasn’t ready to know.
“Y. Zory.” 
Moria blinked slowly at her with only dim comprehension. He put a hand on her shoulder.
"How about we head up to my room, get a couple of drinks, and you can tell your ol' dad all about it."
Perona glared dubiously at him for a long moment. The nobodies were beginning to talk again. She shut them up with another round of hollows to really ruin their vacations.
“Alright. But only if I get to have sangria! Hawky wouldn’t let me make any with his wine ‘cause he was making Zor…m. Zorm go sober while he trained!”
After a moment she paused and punched her fist “SHOOT! I was calling him Zory! Not Zorm!” 
Moria blinked again.
"Who?"
Fifteen minutes later and Perona had a legitimate guest badge for the hotel and was mixing sangria in Moria's private beach-front suite with a view of the ocean.
“Geeze, papa. You’ve got a real sweet deal here. What’d ya do? Steal the manager’s shadow?” she asked as she mixed the sangria and tested it for taste. 
"I wish!" he laughed, folding himself over the bar and watching her. "You'll be disappointed, but your old man's paying the same as anybody else."
She poured more red wine into the mixture as she looked over her shoulder “with all of our treasure?” 
"Not all of it, obviously!" he sputtered. "But some, of my treasure. Yes."
“Oh!” Perona grinned at him “I mean, it seems to be going a long way, papa!” 
She looked over her shoulder at the immobile Kumachi “hey, Kumachi. D’ya want some sangria?”
He did not want sangria. He was a lame teetotaler like that.
“I hope you saved a bit of it, papa. I think we’re gonna need it.” 
Moria scratched his head, pushing his lengthened red hair back behind his horns, and gave her a curious look.
"You think? I mean, it won't get that much more expensive just to have you stay too."
Perona poured herself a glass of Sangria and turned to lean on the bar as she took a sip “not for staying here, papa! To buy our way into Mr. Hawky’s big plan! Or…I mean, I guess it’s not his big plan. He said somethin’ about…hold on..”
She stomped over to Kumachi and unbuttoned the top of his head to root around in there for a moment.
When her hand came out she brandished a flashy poster at her father with a big, ear to ear grin and a haughty “Horohorohorohoro!!! LOOK!”
The poster, she knew well, was of the Cross Guild. Captain Buggy, the newest of the former warlords before their dissolution loomed his manic smile over crossed swords– Sir Crocodile sneered from the right, Mihawk glowered from the left. 
And in each corner, another of the powerful warlords loomed. Boa Hancock with her cold glare matching the hungry serpent that curled over her shoulders in the upper right by Buggy’s overly prominent face, flanked on the other side by Doflamingo’s manic grin and the trail of strings from his fingers.
“We’re gonna join Cross Guild!” 
Moria boggled at the poster. Then he leaned in and squinted at it. Then he pulled back and boggled at it some more.
"What are all the warlords doing on that poster?" Moria demanded. "Who's the kid with the nose?"
“.....” Perona turned it around to look at it before she huffed. “who cares! I mean, if you wanna know it’s Buggy the Clown! He’s…I dunno , an old ex boyfriend of Mr. Crocodile and Mihawk’s or something. He grumbled about him once while he was drunk. They made him a warlord after you were gone, papa!”
"Aw man, maybe I should have been keeping up with the news after all," he grumbled, scratching his hair again. He gave the poster another dubious squint. "They made him a warlord? And now they've what, got some kind of extra club going?"
It was starting to sound as if somehow Moria still hadn't heard that the warlord system had been dissolved.
Perona sipped her sangria. She needed the strength. Oh, by all the powers of the dark lords and evil, did she need the strength.
After her sip she downed half the glass before dropping it on the bar and taking a deep breath….she floated up to grab him by the shoulders and practically shook him as she wailed.
“THEY DISSOLVED IT, PAPA!” 
Moria ducked under the strength of her shout, grimacing and pulling his face away. He held up his hands defensively.
"Whoah, whoah, whoah, kiddo! Simmer down! They dissolved what?"
“The whole frickin’ warlord system!!!” she chided “like, they turned on ‘em. A bunch of kings voted for it at their stupid king party and now they’re coming to kill everyone! There’s no more state-sanctioned pirates! Just pirates!” 
He stared at her. 
Suddenly, he was gripping her shoulders.
"They're doing WHAT?"
Half an hour later, they were several more pitchers of sangria in as Perona had brought her 'daddy' up to speed on current events.
“So yeah, we’re gonna need your treasure to buy into Cross Guild so I can join Hawky in this whole war against the World Government they got goin’ on!” she finished with a big smile.
He scratched his jaw thoughtfully and nodded. " You think they'd let me in? They had better let me in! I'd be pretty pissed off if they've started a former warlords club and they didn't want me in it. But…"
“I mean obviously they’ll let you in!” She huffed. “they probably want me there too! You were their buddy, right? I’m sure they’ll let you join up easy peasy!” 
"Maybe," he hemmed and hawed, and turned to lean his back on the bar, staring at his luxurious hotel suite. "But I don't know if I'm even ready to go back to being a pirate. I don't know if I'll ever be ready. I might just be retired."
“Noooo!” Perona stomped her foot. “Papa, that’s lame! Retirement’s lame! We didn’t even do our big plan at Thriller Bark! Luffy and Zor…..d…Zord and everyone else just beat us UP! We’re not done pirating at all!” 
".... wait isn't Zord that friend you were mentioning with Mihawk?" Moria blinked, having forgotten to protest the rest of it. "He was at Thriller Bark?"
“.............” Perona’s eyes widened as she looked at Kumachi for a save. Kumachi had nothing to say, being quite stuffed. “Maayyyyybe?” 
Moria grabbed the half empty pitcher of sangria and downed the rest of it in a long gulp.
Perona dropped her head into her hands. She knew…she knew this was going to turn into a big deal. She could only hope the booze would help rather than hinder her in her grand quest to explain to her father that the guy who cut his minions to ribbons was…like…
You know.
Kinda cool. 
They'd argued about it for hours. About Cross Guild. About the Straw Hats. About Moria feeling less capable now than he had ever felt before. First being destroyed by Kaidou, and then by Luffy– who was now Perona's friend by one remove.
Perona had argued with all her might, likely terrifying the neighbors in the other suites as she gesticulated wildly and sent her hollows flying here and there in her passionate pleas.
Who cared if the Straw Hats beat him up, from the news she’d heard they beat up like…everyone! And if they were friends now, through Zoro, then they’d be safe from Luffy’s violent frenzy.
Besides, it wasn’t as if they were going after the One Piece! She’d argued until she was blue in the face about it, as points flew between them.
At one point she’d accused him of holding onto a negative hollow while she was gone with how DOWN IN THE DUMPS he was about himself. 
"Perona," he said finally after a long silence between them. He rested his head on his arms, his gaze tilted toward her. "I think you're the only one who thinks I'm worth anything any more. Cross Guild would probably be happier if I just sent you back with what resources I've got left. You're young. You've got energy. you haven't been beaten by the world yet. What have I got?"
“Plenty!” Perona puffed out her cheeks and crossed her arms. “You've always been my hero, you know! You’re the master of shadows! You’re super strong, who cares if you lost twice? I got beat too, and I’m not worthless!” 
"Of course you're not worthless but– I don't know. I just feel like I'm not good enough. Every time I think I'm getting somewhere, I get thrown back to the start!"
It was the same thing of course, that she'd heard had happened to Mihawk. And to Crocodile. And to who knew who else among the warlords. But that was the thing– that was when they were working alone.
“You and the rest of the old idiots of Cross Guild,” Perona crossed her arms. “but you were all going it alone, weren’t you? But Cross Guild’s a bunch of you! All together, working together for something that ain’t the stupid World Government. Maybe together you can fight your way forward and NOT get thrown back to the start, huh??” 
"That's–" he blinked and sat up a little. "That's a good point. If we were actually cooperating. The problem is you never know who's about to throw you in the sea for a little gain in their own status…"
“From what Hawky was saying the whole point of Cross Guild is NOT to do that. Like…it’s named that ‘cause everyone’s on an equal level even with crossed purposes or some pretentious crap like that.” 
Moria stroked his chin. "That sounds like Mihawk. I wonder if we could really do it. If we actually teamed up against the government, we might actually be able to do something…"
Finally thinking about something other than his own self pity.
Perona internally sighed with relief as she pressed her advantage “I know, right? And everyone’s pooling their resources to do some really neat stuff! Like taking bounties out on the Marines! Striking back with the power of the people!” 
"Taking bounties on marines?" He grinned now. "That would sure be a way to put random people in the action instead of always risking your own guys…"
“Exactly!!” Perona pointed at him “and the people are happy because it gives ‘em power! And we’re happy because it’s one less Navy Bastard to deal with! And little by little we weaken the World Government!” 
"Alright. Alright! Damn it!" He slapped his hand on the bar, shaking the several empty pitchers and wine bottles. "I'll at least go and talk to them. …You know where they are, right?"
“Oh yeah they’re uh…I think they’re still on Buggy’s big clown ship or something.” Perona put her finger to her lips. “Ah well, they can’t be that hard to find right?”
He scratched the back of his neck and shook his head. "Well. We'll make it work, whatever. Hey–" 
Moria reached out a hand toward her.
Perona grinned and leapt forward to squeeze his arm just over his hand. “Yeah?” she asked, hovering as she dangled from his arm. 
He smiled a fanged smile at her, soft, despite the bristle of pointy teeth. "Thanks for coming all the way out here to find me, kiddo. And for talking me up."
“Always, papa! Someone’s gotta be your hype man, and it wasn’t gonna be fucking Hogback!” She squeezed his arm tightly in a hug, her bright eyes and ear-to-ear smile turned his way. “I wanted to look for you for two years, I just thought you’d died– so I came right away to find ya as soon as I heard the whispers.”
Moria chuckled and pulled her into a proper hug. "Guess we've proven it takes more than that to kill me, huh? Alright. Let's take just a little more vacation. I'll show you around the place and when we sober up, then we'll make some plans on getting out of here."
Perona squeezed him tightly with a squee of joy. 
“Alright! Alright! A lil’ more vacation but I’m NOT getting any sun! The sun’ll melt me away!” She grinned widely as she bobbed her head “and then it’s CROSS GUILD HERE WE COME!”
Kumachi was excited. She could tell from the way he slowly flopped over and rolled onto the ground with the weight of his overstuffed head.
"Cross Guild here we come! Maybe third time's the charm with his whole pirate gig."
He put her on his shoulders, and out they went.
Hours of exploration of the resort followed as they let their heads clear save for dreams of the future. With satisfaction, Perona got to experience the absolute bliss of a spa, and of a meal not served on the table because Hogback’s poor assistant was traumatized by plates…and also by being a kidnapped spirit who hated him.
The beautiful resort island was a paradise– but it wasn’t half as perfect as the prospect of their future as part of the powerful Cross Guild. Compared to fighting side by side with Hawky and his friends and taking the fight to the world government…how could a vacation island even hope to stack up?
It was almost depressing against the glaring light of the future ahead.

History of Spa Massage(Cindy's Spa)
Tumblr media
Hi Friends,
I am Philip and i would like to tell you the history and insights of Spa and Massage as a whole. Lets Go.
The history of spa massage dates back to ancient times. The Finnish saunas, thought to have originated around 7,000 B.C., are possibly the oldest example of spa treatments. Ancient Egyptians were the first to have practiced early forms of spa treatment. The Greeks and Romans spread the concept throughout their empires, establishing public baths in their colonies. The benefits of spas were also known to the Japanese, who established public bathhouses and saunas.
The word “Spa” comes from the Belgian town of Spa, where a health resort was established in the 14th century. By the 16th century, the spa’s popularity began to rise and after 200 years the medicinal uses of spring water were rediscovered.The 19th century saw spa routines include soaking in hot water, drinking the water, steaming in a vapor room, and relaxing in a cooling room etc. Massage was added to the mix, and it is from here that the modern treatments we know today were derived.
The Rise of Resort Spa
Tumblr media
The springs at the village of Spa would become popular in the 18th century. And this popularity correlates with the opening of innumerable other spas in the world.
As hot springs and mineral baths had already been popular in Europe for centuries, colonists arriving in North America quickly began seeking them out to use for medicinal and therapeutic use.
A new idea called Thlassotherapy arrived.The idea was that by bathing in the sea, trace amounts of sodium, calcium magnesium, iodide, and potassium are absorbed through the skin. Therapy could also include the use of seaweed, algae and these elements cleans your skin and body from dead cells and gives you a healthy body. Even the seaside climate itself was thought to promote health, beauty, and wellness.
Spa becomes Mainstream
The new seaside resorts were just a part of the growing spa industry. Meanwhile, in America, hot springs and mineral baths began to be seen as antiquated.Americans were moving to urban areas and they started to seek health and relaxation centers closer to where they lived and worked.
This is largely where the modern spa industry comes from.This not only made spas more convenient but accessible to more people. Hence the modern spa day.
Spas would also start offering broader ranges of services outside of their traditional roles. Many modern spas offer everything from traditional skin treatments to body sculpting.
What is Massage Theraphy
Tumblr media
Massage therapy is a form of treatment that involves the use of various techniques to manipulate the soft tissues of the body, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia.It is used to help manage health conditions, enhance wellness, and promote relaxation.
Different Massage Techniques
Swedish Massage: A gentle full-body massage that uses long strokes, kneading, and gliding with light to firm pressure to ensure total body relaxation.This is best for people who are new to massage.
Deep Tissue Massage: A step above a Swedish massage, it focuses on releasing tension in the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue.This is best suitable for people who have injuries,imbalance or muscle pain.
Sports Massage: This type of massage is designed to help athletes and sports enthusiasts improve their performance, reduce muscle soreness, and prevent injuries.This is best for atheletes who get injured often.
Trigger Point Massage: A technique that focuses on releasing muscle knots and tension in specific areas of the body.
Hot Stone Massage: A massage that uses heated stones to provide a relaxing and soothing experience, helping to release tension and promote relaxation.Its best suited for people who have muscle pain or simply who want to relax.
Aromatherapy Massage: A massage that incorporates essential oils and fragrances to promote relaxation and create a sensory experience.This is best for people who love scent and want a emotional massage experience.
Thai Massage: A unique massage that combines stretching, pressure, and acupressure techniques to promote relaxation and improve flexibility.

Products used: Quality absolutely matters, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergic.In addition to pricing and service menus, have a look at the products a spa uses.Finding a place that uses vegan, organic, or cruelty-free products is definitely a good place to start
