[Sanji's looking rather happy and derpy at the moment as he scrambles to use the video to show what's going on around the restaurant]

Ah...this may be a strange question, but...can anyone familiar with this world tell me if these kinds of fish are local?

[I am SO behind, please forgive me for missing this!]

[The video is of the girl sitting on the edge of a large planter with a bushy green and orange tree behind her back, a grin as large as ever on her face]

Sanji! Is that what I think it is? Where did you find it!? [chipper much? yeah, this is the most happy she's looked in a while too.]

I don't know where it came from either, but yes, it is! [She sat forward, grinning, leaning her chin in her hand.] I was just about to ask you if you knew what was going on but... looks like you have the same issue.

Maybe they're new year's gifts of some kind? I don't know.

Ahhh but a mandarin tree, that's wonderful! It's just like home.

[wait, having a thought here] ...both of these things are just like home...

New years gifts? But from who?

[frowns a bit] I've been wondering that too. This just isn't any tree... I'm pretty sure it's from home. [She felt like it was a bold statement, but pointed out to him with a finger]

That fish you got? They don't have those here. They don't have anything we have at home. No Seakigs or elephant tuna. They have a swordfish... but the nose isn't really that sharp. Want to bet that fish isn't from here?

You'd win that bet, I think. [rubbing his chin] I've never seen anything about elephant bluefin in the stores, or the markets. It would have to be the world's best-kept secret if it really was from here.

...do you really think that's one of our trees? A real Cocoyashi orange tree?

Meaning that one you have is the only one of its kind. Too bad we can't find a way to reproduce them. [Frowning a bit, because damn, real fish from home actually sounds like the best thing ever--right next to the fruit of this tree]

I... don't know how to explain why it's here, but I'm sure it's from the boat. The three trees I had left, behind the main mast of the Sunny? The one on Port side had a fractured board due to Luffy's head.

[She gave a serious look, a raised brow] This one has the same fracture.

[wow Nami you so smart - he's boggled for a moment]

That's...how is that even possible?

No, no, I know the answer...the same way a fish from the South Blue is here. Which makes me think of how we all got here...maybe the Core thing.

[sigh] Anyway. If this is a female I'll try to save some of the roe, but I doubt it'll be viable for farming new fish. Unfortunately. That would be so much help to us...

[She leaned back, shrugging at the first part. Hell if she knew how it was possible, but she was sure this was one of hers. It even smelled like home.]

That's what I was wondering about too. It's... possible, but how come my tree? Or that fish? Has anyone else said anything?

[A pause, she tapped her chin, pondering still] It's a little worrisome. [Wait, she raised a brow at that, head tilting a bit]

If that's a female... maybe we can look up someone in port who might be able to cross breed with something living here? Might get a rare and new fish. [Ah, that money making smile is back] A one of a kind.

No, nobody else has answered. [it won't be until there's a rash of posts that he concludes it was probably gifted the same way everything else was. What a mystery]

...not that I trust any of the scientist-types around here, but I'll save some of the roe, either way. Or whatever's there.

Hmmm [But the two of them can't be the only ones with something... maybe she'll poke Vivi and the boys later] I just wonder if the boys got something and hey don't know it... or if we're special for some reason.

[He made a good point there...] I don't trust most of them around here either, but there might be someone out there who isn't in it for the money or alternative motives. [That sounds so strange coming form her]

...I hadn't thought of that. I'll check with them too - as long as they stay out of the kitchen while I'm working! I don't need Luffy drooling on the fish while I'm cutting it.

It's the ulterior motives I'm more concerned about. I don't trust these factions, but they're the ones with the labs and the food they're trying to engineer. I don't want to work with the people who made the giant fruit that turned out to be poisonous!

[A groan. Right, that fish will be gone really fast... Luffy is here and hungry. Perhaps that's why Sanji got a fish, to feel their captain.] We'll find something to distract him with.

[pondering... and sighs] I swear, there has to be someone out there not connected with either side. Though your right, the genetic food around here is... frightening.

I can appreciate an effort to find a way to feed all the people on this island, but so far it's been nothing but disasters. I want no part of that, not if we're going to be running a restaurant.

[sigh, he's looking around warily for Luffy just in case] ...I'd better get this into the kitchen. Vivi's going to help me clean up and make room for it.

Hmmmm, you make a good point. [A pause, then sigh.] Feeding a city and Luffy is going to be interesting. It would be nice if we could get out into deeper waters.

[Speaking of Luffy...] Those locks still holding up on the refrigerator doors?

[sneaky grin] Yep. I know he's been eyeballing them but he hasn't tried to get them off yet. So far so good - and I owe you tremendously for that, Nami~. Who knew that we'd need them for that reason when I asked for them?
