Three of a Kind

Legs took a step towards the cavern that she sat outside of; it was incredibly huge, almost supernaturally so. She sighed in response. It had taken so long to get here, especially since the entire thing was underwater. If it had not been for her devil fruit powers, she would have never made it, but simultaneously, if had not been for her devil fruit powers, she would have never had to worry about the water entirely. It was quite an irony when she thought about it. She pulled a map from within her clothes, looking at the symbol that was on it. She clicked her fingers, and a blip of her own image appeared several clicks away from it, but undoubtedly, she was in the same area.

“Hm, it’s close then. I better hurry up and find it before my generals see through my illusion,” Legs spoke to herself, a common occurrence that she often found herself in. Since she had become an Empress, her generals and soldiers always made it a case for her to remain in her castle, or if she ever left, take an escort with her. It made her sick. She was a seasoned veteran of the oceans, with powers that most would consider holy, yet she was being treated as if she was some frail princess. Regardless, she had to appreciate the care and sincerity that her soldiers provided. She chuckled as the thoughts and concerns of the people under her care enveloped her. Legs could only guess that it was better to have people like that, then to have a people revolting.
