Zoro was your best friend but you and him had a relationship like brother and sister. You and Zoro split up since you wanted to grow up stronger an meet up in the future. After Zoro joined up with Straw Hat Luffy it would be about 2 or 3 years, you had no interest in pirates, But your bro is a pirate. Oh god you thought.

As time pass by the crews reputation only grew, after Enies Lobby, Luffy declared war apparently alongside with his crew. Getting the news Monkey.D Luffy and the crew were heading to Water , why not head there to give your big bro a hello, its been a while.

After arriving to Water 7, You travelled around town to find your old friend, Paulie , It wasn't your first to Water 7 but your trip was kinda 5 to 6 months back s. Everyone at Iceburgs place were your acquaintances , it's just that Paulie and Iceburg were more close to you. Kaku, Lucci, Kalifa were the other shipwrights but you weren't as close but they were good at their job.

Walking into the main building, you already saw Paulie walking up the stairs.

"Hey Paulie!" You shouted while waving your hand

"How've you been?" continuing your sentence.

Paulie stood there still like a statue, suddenly his face turned red, and ran up the stairs. Chasing after him, thinking why he ran away, oh yeah he's a pervert. You leaped forward and grabbed his blue jacket.

"Hey Paulie, what's the deal!?" You asked teasingly.

He closed his eyes and his face grew red like a tomato. You were holding in your laughter on how cute he was. You were wearing your bikini top with black shorts, he asked you to wear your jacket on that was tied to your waist. Putting your black jacket on, he opened his eyes and gave a sigh.

"Yo Paulie" you spoke

"Hey (y/n), how are things going?" he replied, still red from earlier.

"Oh thing are just fine." You smiled

The building itself hasn't change much just minor ones. You and Paulie talked all the way to Icebergs office. When you arrived at the door, you knocked then walked in, Iceburg was looking at documents that you didn't pay attention to much.

" Hey Burg, how've you been doing?" Giving him your signature smile.

"Nice to see you too, (y/n)." he said while putting down his documents.

"What brings you back (y/n)?" he asked

"She came back to visit. " Paulie replied for you

" Yep!" you squealed.

"Hey Burg, let's go out for lunch."

"I've got lots to do but maybe la-" he stopped when he saw you pout with your back turned

" Fine, (y/n), it's about time for lunch anyway."

" She gets her way with you everytime, Iceburg." He snickered.

" She hasn't been gone for a while, think of it as a welcome back party. Let's invite Kaku and the others too." Ice Burg spoke while getting out of his chair.

After asking the others joined, we all head out to the the bar where our friend Bueno worked at,It was also the place where Franky got his Coke, him becoming a cyborg was the first surprise, using Coke was the second. But he had good spirit, that's what you liked about him. Which sparked a question in your mind.

"Hey Burg, where's Franky? I haven't seen him in a while." You cheerfully said.

"He's probably with his gang right now, don't see him much nowadays." he said.

"Is he?" You looked down

" We'll see him later, just enjoy lunch." When you walked in, Kalifa waved her hand along with Kaku with a genuine smile while Lucci didn't bother to turn around. Lucci was one of the guys you ignored because of his attitude, cold and unsocial. Enjoying lunch, catching up with what happened during the time you went out to continue adventuring. After lunch was done , thanking Iceburg and Paulie for the meal, you said to head out for Franky. Franky's little hide out was not hard to find, you've been there before after all.

"Oi Franky." you shouted through little base

" Intruder" Two woman shouted, their hair were rectangle shape that looked, well, shocking. Even you didn't know how to keep your hair like that.

"Im looking for Franky, he's the leader of this group right?" They charged at you, you walked past them, dodging with the techniques you learned for past years. They all were confused how you pass them, Franky came out of the room, you smirked, swiftly running behind him. Giving him a nice tickle, he turned around.

"Who are you?" He said

"You don't remember me, Franky" You shown your face with a smile.

He smiled back, seeing your face.

"Dont worry, she's my old friend." he told his mates. They stood frozen for a sec before cheering , swarming you while you swoop past them back to Franky.

"How ya doin?"Franky said with a smile

" Good, i'm just dropping by to say hello."

You both hang out for a bit, with you watching him with his blueprints and such. Him listening to your adventures since you've been gone.Franky made all kinds of stuff, little adjustments to his inventions. When time past you by, remembering you're motives coming here. Yougave your fare well to your friend and his crew before heading out.

You searched that whole night but no luck so far. Walking across the bar to an inn to stay, a familiar shadow had walked in. Chasing after the shadow, the guy you've been looking for was right in front of you. But he was in a group of people with serious faces, the tension rose, swiftly making your way to your room in the company, getting ready for a nice long rest and decided meeting him tomorrow. What a turn of events you thought before falling into the world of slumber.
