Yanmei #6
John’s ‘correction’ was duly warranted — that little boat was barely seaworthy as it was now and would no doubt suffer on the Grand Line. It would have been a miracle if it survived the voyage to that legendary sea in the first place and, true to fashion, the tall lady reasoned it away as them being rookies. Fortunately, said lady was not opposed to answering the duo’s questions, and presented answers as she could afford them.“I come from Rime Beat,” she said:
“Do you happen to know it…?”
Yanmei’s eyes narrowed, the wheels of her brain working overtime to process this information and dredge up any memories she might have had of such a place. Of course, she’d never been to a place such as that — she’d never even heard of it and would have likely forgotten if she did. That, however, did not stop her from trying, to the point where the strain upon her brain was threatening smoke to pour from her ears. And then, finally, she broke.
“Nope! I’ve never heard of Rhyme Beet,” Miss Zhu answered, for her words to be followed by the woman’s own explanation of where she hailed. A land so cold its people would melt! To that, the young martial artist had to speak up. “Huh? But what if you went to a really hot island, like… like a volcano, or somewhere that was always on fire? Would you melt then?” It was a curious question, but certainly not an odd one, even if it was a little wild in the imagination department.“It’ll get colder soon,” the tall one added:
“Where do you two come from…?”
“We came here from a ghost ship,” Mei blurted out without any concern for how ludicrous that would have sounded to the common ear. It wasn’t entirely inaccurate, but descriptive nuance was sorely lacking as she bounced on heel and toe, simply excited to meet somebody new and unusual. “I knocked out a big scary guy and John beat up that guy’s mummy– Oh! You never told us your name, lady, or why you’re here! We’re looking for a ship, and a crew!”{Post Synposis:}
After the tall girl says where she’s from, Yanmei tries to recognise it, but fails.
