Recap:

They never judge and always welcome to be your friend. I slowly teared up shocking myself, I laugh merrily when I finally realized that I'm so happy to be alive, to be able to witness this, to finally feel the human warmth of others, I am finally free, at last, I found something to hold on to.
My idiotic best friend, if you're seeing this from the heaven's above or hell below, and if somehow you're alive... Let's be friends again alright?

(Zoey's POV)

"Where did you get that?" someone asked me from behind, I'm currently sitting on the lower deck fiddling with a phone, actually it's Marc's phone but I forgot that I hide this little baby. When I turn behind me, I saw Luffy looking with apparent curiosity in his black eyes.
"Oh, this? It's called a smartphone" I explained.
"A smarty phone? It looks like a black tin box to me" Luffy said while mumbling at the end. I chuckle at his expression and I continue my business.
The said business is actually ordering something from this online shop called
"What are you doing?"
"I'm ordering some food"
"FOOD? ORDER FOR ME TOO!! " He bellowed at my ears, man... That's really loud.
I laughed while grimacing for my poor eardrums and continue this shopping spree or food trip in our case. I press the buy button for the cart and when it dings, I saw the message
And so we wait, until a white box with red tapes labeled as LBC all over it, appears out of thin air in front of Luffy and me. He jumped toward the box and unceremoniously opened it with his bare hands.
I shake my head thinking how crazy strong this man is. "WOAH!! FOOD!! THANKS, ZOEY!" With a shout for him, he devoured his food, roasted chicken, and roasted beef, some shakes, and more treats, while I ordered cookies and cream ice cream, Oreos, KitKat, Piatos, Patata, some daily necessities, shampoos, conditioners, soaps, and all that monthly crap we all women goes through.
"Is that an LBC box? Where did that come from?" Marc saw us and questioned the said box.
"Plot holes..." I shrugged.
"What?" He asked me puzzled.
"Just kidding, here your phone, it was gifted to you when we're reborn, but I hide it for safekeeping" I finally explained, shoving his phone his way while spouting some
BS.
"You do know I wouldn't believe that, right?" Marc said, looking at me like I'm some kind of idiot, yeah he doesn't believe that, figures.
"Yup!" what else could I do? Just shamelessly admit it.
Luffy kept eating while Marc just sighed. He knows how I roll anyway.
The LBC box wasn't dissolving away like how it should be when I got all of my groceries or anything I purchased. I looked inside and saw a red book with a golden crest of the sun and moon, it has gold linings too.
I know this damn book well... It's my favorite anime when I was in elementary and play pretend I was the protagonist and can wield this thing.
Marc looked inside the box and grabbed the book, examining it. Finally, he said, "Isn't this the book where the Clow Cards reside?"
"Yep, why it's there though? I never ordered any merchandise"
Marc handed me the book while I inspect it, a white gold orb came from the book started floating till it leveled with my eyes.
I didn't realize the whole crew was making a ruckus, I was entranced by seeing the legitimate key from season 1 of Cardcaptor Sakura.
"Whoa! What's that book?" Ussop curiously looking at the book while standing on the crow's nest.
"It's a mystery book with mysterious light!" Luffy just deemed it as such.
"Is that thing dangerous?" Princess Vivi just questions the sane one in the crew. Obviously more preferred by the navigator who is looking skeptically at the package.
"Oh my~ a lovely light has been cast to our dearest Zoey's face"... We already know who that is...
"That white box just disappeared" Zoro commented on the back, no one really heard the guy they're all curious about Zoey's book.
All of a sudden I remembered my elementary days where I shout the key release. I slammed the orb back to the book and decided one thing. This should be 12 feet under.
"Okay, guys, let's stop right now-" I started, but Usopp said something that makes me smile.
"LAND HO!"
Saved by the liar. Hallelujah! I hurriedly run inside the women's quarters and stuffed this blasted book inside of my bag where my daily survival supplies are whenever we land, as for the rest of my groceries. I just put them all on my bed. A girl gotta be prepared for anything, especially being a pirate.
I sling my backpack to my shoulders and run outside, just to greeted by an ancient-looking forest.
"Holy crap, are we pre-historic times?!" I shouted out loud. Because of my outburst, the others except for Marc are shocked at what they heard.
"P-pre-historic t-times??", Ussopp stuttering to form words while hugging himself, then a dinosaur flew above us and almost make him faint.
"SO COOL!! That's a huge ass bird!!" Luffy has shinning stars in his eyes while looking at the pre-historic creature.
"You mean that existence that should be extinct by now?" Nami is always in disbelief about their situation and location. Girl you should be used to it by now.
"Great! Let's explore!! Sanji! Make some pirate lunchbox!" Luffy belowed to our cook. The Princess follows.
"Same here! I wanna explore with Carue, it might help me take my mind off things for a bit"
"Anything for you my sweet princess~ I'll be right back~" And he twirled towards his kitchen.
"WHAT THE HELL?! THIS IS AN ISLAND WHERE MAN-EATING GIANTS ARE ACTIVE!!" Nami, well she looks ready to chew their heads off.
"Uhh... Nami, p-please calm down first.." I looked towards Marc who is trying to calm the navigator down.
"I AM CALM!!" That is the reply he got, ouch, I gotta purchase something for Nami.
"Nice timing, we're starting to go low on food because of certain captain here, OI MARIMO! HUNT SOMETHING FOR US!" Sanji said towards the swordsman while giving everyone's lunchbox.
"Yeah, sure, I'll be able to hunt better than you" Zoro muttered, but loud enough for all of us to hear. Why am I not tired from all of this?
"You said something you piece of shit?" With a tick-mark on his head and his cigarette crushed by his teeth. Growled towards his eternal rival, if this two doesn't cut it out, I can't help but think all those ZoroxSanji fanfics I've read in my past life.
"I said, I hunt better than you, so sit still there twirly brow"
"YA TAKE THAT BACK!"
"HUH?! WHY WOULD I?"
"ALRIGHT! LET'S SEE WHO HUNTS BETTER!"
With those words, they parted ways while Nami is screaming at our idiotic crew, dear ghad, I feel bad for her.
As for myself? I wanna explore, but at the same time I wanna sleep, such hard decisions~
The warmth of the sun, perfectly cool shades thanks to those big ass trees, warm breeze comparable in the spring...
Okay, it's decided! "Let's get that sleep!"
"You're not gonna explore?" Usopp looked at me shocked, he should realize by now that I'm a pro at being lazy.
"Finally! Someone who has some sense!!" Our dear navigator is shedding happy tears.
"Awww~" Luffy pouted, but bounced away from the ship, shouting and laughing while The princes and Carue run after him.
"Nah, I want to sleep some more the climate here is similar to our previous world before the apocalypse, it's very comforting," I told Nami and Usopp.
"Now that you mention it, it is similar..." Marc said while looking at the jungle.
"So you're not coming too?" Usopp asked the magician, biting his lip praying that he stays.
"I'm going to explore, of course! I want to ride a dinosaur!" But he got disappointed when this idiot said he gotta ride that man-eating dino. I shrugged my shoulders and prepared myself to sleep while the three of them decided to explore while I sorta watched over the ship.
"Hey! Wait!" I called them before they jump down. They turn to look at me, and I throw them a spray bottle of insect repellant, Marc caught it, and reads it. "Spray some before you go or whatever, ya didn't know what kind of insects are living here"
"Oh! Nice thinking, thanks for this" Nami said while smiling gratefully and Usopp just nods in understanding and waves goodbye. With that, they turn to the jungle ahead of them.
I go back to my favorite spot in the upper deck, the breeze will be great there. As I lay down and close my eyes, I thought to myself, 'Am I missing something?', in the end, I just shrugged and get that sleep.

(3rd Person's POV)
While Zoey is peacefully sleeping, the others are already exploring the said jungle. The two idiots namely Zoro and Sanji are having their contest about who takes down the biggest chow for them.
But whenever they see each other and they saw how big the other has taken down, they turn away from one another and hunt some more while dragging their first prey.
.
.

The Captain and the Princess with her duck are running without care while taking down some foliage and huge leaves that can't be seen normally.
"Ah! What a great view, I wanna have lunch here" Luffy said to himself while looking around the jungle, he's currently standing in the biggest 'tree' he could climb. Feeling satisfied with the view of the pre-historic Island.
"This isn't the time for idle chatter!!" The princess yelled to our beloved captain, the duck, she's riding is having a shocked expression that shouldn't be possible.
"Eh? Why not? This place is great!"
"What great place?! You're atop of a Dinasaur Luffy!!"
The rubber man just laughed at the girl while waving. "It's fine! This guy isn't dangerous!"
.
.
.
The trio, named Marc, Nami, and Usopp are trying to pick some herbs along the way, and spraying some insect repellant to their clothes given by Zoey earlier. When a dinosaur suddenly roared at their left. The three looks at it and all of them paled.
Marc goes into a defensive position, trying to protect the two weakest members. When a slash to its neck came and the dino head tumbled to the ground. All of them looked up when a deep, loud voice asked them, "Do you have any alcohol?"
The trio just gaped at the man, he's wearing clothes that can be classified as a warrior with horned hats and a cape. Nami and Usopp started crying while Marc's eyes are glistening with stars, but before he could answer his question, the man asked again. "Do you have any alcohol?"
This time Marc enthusiastically said, "YES! We have one!"
"Ma-Marc, our alcohol is for cooking and sterilizing wounds..."
"Gabababa! It doesn't matter! Alcohol is alcohol! By the way, I am Broggy! The strongest warrior in Elbaf" The giant said proudly while presenting his latest spoil.
"Well, sir, our alcohol is in our ship..." Nami slowly told the giant. Praying she doesn't get killed.
"Don't worry, Nami! I got us covered!" Marc cast [storage] and dished out his biggest barrel of whiskey that he had.
The giant got so happy about it and decided to invite them to his place. While the two members are reluctant, the same can't be said to Marc who is humming joyfully to himself.
