After a few hours of sleep, the whole crew met in the now open galley slash mess hall where they could all meet and talk while Erina was nearby cooking, so she wouldn't be left out of the conversation. Erina's cooking was improving by leaps and bounds thanks to her enhanced taste, the so-called 'god tongue'. Peter had given her a cooking skill potion he made, but he had never been a professional chef or even a very good home cook. Still, it had provided her with a base to grow from. Add in his ability to provide any ingredients, including spices, and she probably had the most well stocked kitchen in the world.
The scent and sound of sizzling meat filled the area as everyone relaxed. Peter couldn't wait for the food since it all tasted so much better than anything he'd had in either life, up to that point. Erina's cooking was good, but the ingredients were important to. After all, why have basic chicken when you could have Cockatrice? Why settle for beef when you could have Dragon? About the only local ingredient they used was fish since the local fish were so damned good tasting. It made Peter want to try Sea King meat.
Ignoring the rumbling in his stomach, Peter addressed the crew, "So, any thoughts on what our name should be?"
Ai instantly chimed in by throwing her hand up in the air and bouncing enthusiastically in her seat, "Oh oh oh! We should totally be Peter's Rockin' Pirates!"
That got a few chuckles but Peter shook his head, "I don't want it to contain my name. Besides, that sounds more like a name a musically themed pirate group would have."
Ai immediately puffed out her cheeks, crossed her arms, and turned away with a pout. As her personality grew she was becoming more of a 'brat' but not in a truly annoying manner. Merlin spoke up while tapping her chin, "The Magical Pirates?"
Peter considered that before shaking his head, "Maybe if you and Vivienne were far enough along in your self study to teach the rest of us. But since you two are the only magic users, for now, that doesn't make much sense."
Valeria chimed in, "What about something related to potions, alchemy, or transmutation?"
Peter rocked his hand side to side in a 'so so' manner, "That could work. Though we should stay away from Alchemy. We don't want the world government thinking we have anything to do with the island of Alchemi or the Pure Gold. Regardless of the fact that I can make people immortal. They'd hunt us down and never stop. Still, potions or transmutation aren't bad options, I suppose."
"You said that Luffy's crew were known over his hat, an object. What about an object related to potions and transmutation?" came from Momo.
Erina chimed in from the kitchen, "Like a cauldron! Those are pretty iconic."
Peter hummed, "So, the Cauldron pirates? Feels like it's missing something to give it more gravitas."
Domino hummed and added, "Pirates in your original world were often associated with colors, Red Beard, Blue Beard, Black Beard, and so on. What about the Black Cauldron Pirates?"
Peter nodded, "I kind of like it, but Black has so many negative connotations. What about the Gilded Cauldron Pirates? Oh! The flag could be a standard skull and crossbones with with a golden cauldron emitting some fumes behind it!"
The others hummed as they thought over the name then agreed. The only one of them that actually had any care for their name was Ai and she, like the others, wasn't willing to really go against their Captain. Their creator.
From there designing the flag and having the, surprisingly artistic, Sakuya paint the skull and crossbones didn't take too long. Peter even provided gold dust to mix into the yellow paint so it would glitter in the sun to appear like real gold. They would paint the sail later since the sun was beginning to set by the time they got done.
The next day, as they sailed closer to the island, Merlin joined Peter at the bow of the ship. They stood in silence for a minute or so before Merlin spoke, "Do you think we'll come across a Devil Fruit or someone whose eaten one on this island?"
Peter thought for a bit before he answered, "The odds of finding one in the wild, uneaten, are miniscule so I'd go with a big fat no on that. Running into someone that has one? Slightly more possible. Luffy seemed to run into at least one on every single island he visited, sometimes many more than that, so I think the odds are fair. As for it being a useful or interesting Devil Fruit? I'd put that at unlikely."
