After a few days, Zoro and I are only a few hours away from our destination.
"Hey Ace, there's something I just don't understand. You told me your goal is to find the one piece and to be known by all as the greatest pirate. Why is that? Is there a reason behind it?"
"Well, Zoro, the reason is simple: I want to be a greater pirate than my father ever thought about being."
Well, I plan to tell him about Roger soon; it's not like I'm hiding it, but I'll tell more people at the same time. I don't want to explain everything over and over again, so once the crew is together, I'll share the details with them. See, your goal is to surpass your father, huh, I understand, hey, by the way, Captain, which island are we going to next?'
"Well, Zoro, the next island we're currently going to is called Yotsuba Island. There's someone I'm hoping to find there. Hopefully, I can still find that person there."
"Oh, I see a potential new crew member, huh?"
"Well, something like that, I would love for her to be on my crew, unfortunately, I'm not even sure she's from Yotsuba island.
"Huh, you plan on recruiting a girl to your crew?"
"That's right, and I think she could be an asset under the right circumstances. I got a devil fruit that I think will do wonders for her, so she might be on board with actually joining our little crew."
"Interesting, I'm extremely bored right now, so I'm looking forward to meeting this capable woman. And how long will it take for us to arrive there?"
"It won't be long now; it should take us about two to three hours if the weather doesn't change."
Hopefully, the weather really doesn't change. We need to restock to get food and water to survive. We still have enough food to last us two days, but I don't want to risk a potential Sanji situation here. Well, technically, things would never get this bad for me; it would be a waste, but if worst comes to worst, I could use points to keep Zoro and me alive.

"Hey, Zoro, you can wake up now. We have finally arrived at our destination, Yotsuba Island."
After half a day of sailing, we finally arrived at our destination, thank heavens for good weather. Now it's time to restock our supplies and look for Alvida.
"Yawn, finally, I was dying of boredom at sea over here, so what do we do first, Ace?"
"What do you mean? What do we do first? We have to find Alvida, of course."
"Oh, so that's what her name is. Where should we look first?"
"I don't know, we have a good chance of finding her at a restaurant".
Based on Alvida's figure at the beginning of the manga and anime, when you look at her figure, it seems pretty clear to me that then, Alvida wasn't messing around when it came to food.
"Well then, let's go, Zoro, we'll ask at the first restaurant or bar, or diner we find, but I have a feeling we won't be able to ask too long for her."
"OK"
After Zoro takes out his three swords from the raft, I touch the raft, and a second later, the raft disappears. Zoro looks at me and says,
"Hey Ace, I know you said you didn't have any devil fruit powers, but to be honest with you, that ability freaks me out a little."
If I'm able to find Alvida, all the work Dragon did to find the Sube Sube no Mi(Slip-Slip Fruit) would be worth it if she joins my crew. I love all of Luffy's crew, but to be honest, after Vivi stayed in Alabasta, they only had two female crew members there, so hopefully I'm able to find more talented females to recruit, and I bet that idiot Sanji would love that line of thinking. Alvida is first on the list of potential female crew members to join our crew; besides, just ten people won't cut it for me.
