(Somewhere outside, Ryujin helps March as she vomits after taking so much alcohol with Skye.)
RYUJIN
I told you not to drink, since you can't hold your liquor.
MARCH
I'm sorry cuz. I wanted to show you how cool I was…
(Ryujin bumps her head.)
RYUJIN
Idiot!
MARCH
March is sowwy… so don't hiwt her…!
VEE
We can't go the mansion if she's that drunk. Here March have some water.
MARCH
Thwanks…
(She drinks water from a bottle.)
MARCH
You're a nwice person Vee….
(Vee blushes.)
VEE
….
SKYE
If we can't go to the mansion… then we'll have to let her sober up.
MARCH
I'm perfectly fine. Look I can still walk.
(She tries to walk but her legs wobble making her to fall but Ryujin holds her.)
RYUJIN
You can't even walk properly! Let's wait until you sober up.
MARCH
But I've to take you to my friend Risa and tell her that you want the Santa Maria. I noticed that The Santa Maria is a ship that's perfect for someone like you Ryujin…
RYUJIN
The Santa Maria is going nowhere… we'll get her. So please stay still as you sober up.
MARCH
Okay.
(She falls asleep on Ryujin's shoulder.)
SKYE
She fell asleep.
VEE
You have a sweet cousin Ryujin.
RYUJIN
Yeah. When she was a kid she would throw a tantrum whenever I say that I'll leave her alone.
SKYE
So she likes being at your side huh.
RYUJIN
Yeah, you can say that she's obsessed with me.
(Meanwhile on the marine ship. Nick Furious is having a brief meeting with Tenda and Johnnie.)
NICK
I noticed something between the two of you…
TENDA
…
JOHNNIE
…
NICK
Don't be so tensed up you two. You see if you put your arguments behind each other… you can be the perfect partners for the future marines. That is if you put your minor disputes aside. Now, I need you to work as team and capture Red hair for me.
JOHNNIE
But we don't know where is he?
NICK
Yes, I'm aware of that. As you can see… we have no idea where his location is? But we can make assumptions on where he could be right now? Any ideas Tenda?
TENDA
He could be looking for a ship since he wants to sail to the Blue line.
NICK
You do have a point. So which means what island could he be in…?
JOHNNIE
Coco island. It's an island known for building ships.
NICK
Bingo. There you go… if this was a test, both of you could get full marks. Now the 2 of you will lead a small team of marine soldiers and capture Red hair at Coco island. Do I make myself clear?
TENDA & JOHNNIE
Yes, sir.
(Back at Coco island, March has sobered up and is ready to take Ryujin, Skye and Vee to the mansion.)
MARCH
Here's the mansion where my friend Risa lives.
RYUJIN
What a big place?!
SKYE
She must be a princess to live in such a big house…
VEE
I wonder if there's a safe here.
MARCH
You're not thinking of robbing the place, are you?
VEE
What?! No…way… maybe…
MARCH
…
(Suddenly a boy swings from the main gate using a vine and lands in front of them.)
BOY
Get away from here pirates… or I'll beat you up to a pulp. You're not entering into my territory. (Sees March.) You even manage to hold March hostage. Unforgiveable. I'll make sure you'll pay for it. Don't worry March, your shining knight is here to rescue you from those despicable pirates.
SKYE
Smirks!
MARCH
…
VEE
Cute.
RYUJIN
Who the fuck is this retard?
