The chefs were giving the crew a supply of food. And like her father, Kiki has a craving for meat, so they packed extra of that. But another problem is the fact that Kiki can hardly walk without feeling pain.
And when it's time to leave, you could say Iris wanted to change her mind.
"No! You are coming!" said Katie literally dragging Iris to the boat.
"Hey, hold on," said Sanji as he walked to them,
"Iris, I want you to find All Blue," said Sanji.
"What's all blue?" Katie looked around to find something that's all blue.
"All Blue? But I thought that was an old fried fish tale," said Iris.
"What's all blue?" Katie asked again.
"Hey, I heard of All Blue! Isn't that the place filled with a lot of different fishes?" Donsopp asked
"Yeah, pretty much," said Sanji.
"Why do you want me to find it?" Iris asked,
"Because I want to prove that All Blue does exist," said Sanji.
"Phth! I bet not!" said Iris,
"I see Iris is still a non-believer," said Katie.
"She sure is," said Sanji with a sweatdrop.
"If it is real, then lets make a deal, how about it, Father?" Iris asked.
"What do you have in mind?" Sanji asked,
"If I don't find All Blue, then when I come back, you hand the Baratie over to me (Sanji owns it now) and…YOU'LL STOP SMOKING!!"
"That's actually not a bad idea," said Katie enjoying this while the others are stocking up.
"And if I do find it…you decide," said Iris.
"I'll think about it while you're gone. But one will be that I get to hang my victory over your little head for as long as I want!" said Sanji.
"Fine! I don't care what your end is because I know that All Blue is just an old fried fish tale," said Iris and walked aboard the ship.
"Are we all set?" Garret asked,
"I think so," said Kiki.
"Last goodbyes, say them now," said Garret.
"Goodbye everyone! I'll come back soon!" cried Katie as the Emerald-Marine started sailing off.
Iris turned suddenly,
"Goodbye!!" she waved with some tears flowing out.
"When I come back, I'll have a dish that you will like, Chief Zeff! You can count on that!" cried Katie.
Everyone at the Baratie cheered and waved their good-byes.
Iris smiled a bit; tears were still coming, and admits that she'll miss that place.
"How long are you going to let the faucet run?" Garret asked as he lies down on the docks.
"You just ruined my good moment!!" Iris exclaimed and is no longer upset about missing that place, she's now angry.
"I have a feeling I'm not going to like you…" Iris growled at Garret.
"How do you think I feel? I'm now stuck with two blondes and two black-haired weirdoes," said Garret and closed his eyes ready to go to sleep.
Donsopp heard that and since he was carrying a bucket of water at the moment, he dumped it on Garret and he shot up alarmed,
"And we're stuck with one serious yet rude and annoying, brown-haired boy," said Donsopp proud of himself.
"WHY YOU!!" Garret started chasing Donsopp around the boat after he pulled one of his swords out.
Katie walked up to Kiki who was watching the sea near the bow.
"Where are we headed next?" Katie asked
"Hmm…………………I don't know," Kiki answered and Katie did an anime fall.
"How am I suppose to navigate the ship if I don't even know where we're going!?" Katie exclaimed.
"How do I know?" Kiki asked and she took out the picture.
"I really don't know," then Katie yanked the picture out of Kiki's hands.
"Hey! Give that back!" Kiki cried.
"Wow! Iris! Guys! Look at that cute little doll!!" Katie squealed and surprisingly, everyone did go over to her.
"Hey, that's mine, hello? Hey!" everyone was ignoring Kiki and looking at her picture instead. "And what do you mean by doll?" Kiki asked.
"That cute reindeer!" said Katie pointing at the picture.
"Hey, that does look pretty cute," said Garret.
"Hm…that's actually kind of adorable," Iris admitted.
"Hmm, it's cute, but I almost though it was real," said Donsopp.
"If you're talking about that reindeer in the picture, then it is real! It's not a doll!" Kiki exclaimed trying to get her picture back still.
"Really?" asked Garret in surprise.
"Ooohh! Who's that girl?" Katie pointed to a woman with a hat on.
"I…don't remember her name," Kiki answered and everyone did an anime fall.
"Wait, is that why you don't know where to go? Because you don't remember the others' names in the picture!!" Katie cried pointing at Kiki,
"Um, yeah," said Kiki with a sweatdrop and a fake smile.
"Some captain you are," said Garret,
"WHY DON'T YOU TRY ROUNDING EVERYBODY UP??" Kiki shouted at Garret.
"Ooh! Ooh! I'll be captain!!" said Donsopp. Everyone got a sweatdrop.
"I don't think she's really going to give up that position," said Iris.
Donsopp just whimpered.
So they pretty much floated around until they needed to stock up on supplies again so they headed for the nearest village.
Katie and Donsopp practically ran off the boat and yelled,
"LAND!!"
Donsopp stopped right after he got on land, but Katie kept running for no apparent reason.
"Whoa, get back here, Katie!" Iris called after her.
But before she could respond or stop, she bumped into somebody and fell.
"I'm sorry!" she said before opening her eyes to see who she bumped into.
"No, it's okay, I should've watched where I was going," Katie looked up to see a handsome young man with very dark blue hair and wearing a cowboy hat reaching his hand out to help her up.
Hearts immediately were in her eyes.
"He's so cute!!" she thought and since she's in dreamland, she didn't realize Garret ready to drag her away,
"Sorry about that, she's just a little too happy about being on shore," he said.
"It's no big deal," said the guy and began walking off but stopped when he saw Kiki.
"Hey, have I seen you somewhere?" he asked,
"Uh, I don't recognize you," said Kiki.
"Hey wait, that hat of yours…I remember you now! You're that girl I saw that fell down the stairs of the kitchen on the Pirate King's ship!!" then he started laughing a little to himself,
"Hey! How did you know that happened to me once?" Kiki asked.
"My mother took me to visit her old pirate crew captain. That hat looked like the one he wore, are you his daughter or something?"
"Yes, but I don't remember seeing…hey! You're that boy that I saw with, um, I forgot her name," everyone did an anime fall.
"She's that woman in the picture with that hat you saw before. He's wearing that same hat right now," Kiki pointed at the guy's hat.
"It belonged to my mother, Nico Robin," he said.
"That was her name! I remember now! You were with Nico Robin when she came to visit my father!" Kiki exclaimed putting fist in her hand.
"Oh, now you remember," said Garret rolling his eyes.
"I never got your name. No, I never even talked to you that day. Robin just came, said hi, talk a little with my father, then left," said Kiki.
"We were in a hurry that day," said the guy.
"Sorry to interrupt, but, who's this guy exactly?" Garret asked.
"Nicolas," he replied with a smile.
"Is Nico Robin that woman in the picture with the cool hat on?" Katie asked
"Yes…hey! What about my hat?" Kiki asked pointing at her straw hat.
"I like his hat better," said Katie
"This guy is so cute, I wonder…."
"Hey Captain! Can I talk to you for a sec?" Katie asked but didn't wait for her to respond and dragged Kiki to the side.
"Please ask Nicolas to join the crew!!" she begged.
"I was before you dragged me away,"
"Oh, then, go ahead!" said Katie and pushed Kiki.
"Hey, Nicolas, since you don't look like you're even doing anything, want to join my pirate crew? My father wanted me to round up all the descendents of his original crew and your mother was in it so I want you to join!" said Kiki.
"I…don't know, what can I do to do any benefit to the crew?" Nicolas asked,
"Well what can you do?" Iris asked.
"I came from a family of archeologists I guess. I can read the ancient language scripted on poneglyphs," Nicolas replied.
"What? Does that come with subtitles?" Donsopp asked.
"It's nothing. I could join if you guys can help me search for the True History Text which records the history of a period of which when no recorded history can be found in the world. This text has been brought to the last island of the Grand Line, Raftel, by Gol D. Roger," Nicolas said intelligently.
Everyone had those anime dot eyes.
"I'm lost," said Garret.
"This guy is pretty smart, I think his knowledge will come in handy on our quest," said Iris.
"We're going to the Grand Line anyway, so, you're joining my crew!" said Kiki,
"Okay, I guess that works. It'll save me the problem of finding a way to travel at sea. Oh, and you guys can just call me Nick if you want," said Nick with a smile and started to walk with them as they stock on supplies and went to the boat.
"Don't you have to bring anything?" Donsopp asked when Nick got on without anything but this bag that he carries around,
"This is all I need. I'm a traveler," Nick answered.
"Well, you're a pirate now," said Iris when she walked by towards the kitchen.
"Hey, I never got your names," said Nick as he sat down where Garret and the others are sitting on the deck bored.
Katie immediately answered from the nest,
"I'm Katie!!"
"Katie the lunatic," Garret mumbled as he lies down to catch some Z's.
"So what's your name then, swordsman?" Nick asked.
"Garret son of the best swordsman in the world," Garret answered without opening his eyes.
"You're saying you're the son of Roronoa Zoro?" Nick asked,
"That's right," said Garret.
"I'm Donsopp, the fearless," he said.
"Kiki D. Luffy," she said and lifted a hand. The she too, lay down to sleep, and puts her hat on her face.
"Who was that girl who went into the kitchen?" Nick asked.
"That was Iris, Katie's sister," said Donsopp.
Katie got down from the nest,
"Can I call you Nico? It just sounds better," said Katie with a huge smile.
"Um, sure, I guess," said Nick with a sweatdrop.
"Katie, where are we headed?" Donsopp asked,
"Shh…don't tell Kiki but I'm setting course for Fuschia Village," Katie winked,
"Why there?" Nick asked,
"Donsopp, remember we all looked at the picture she had? Well, on the back were some notes and I found out that Fuschia Village was where she came from. I think she deserves to go home for a while," said Katie with a grin.
After she said that, Kiki was dreaming of the day Luffy gave her that hat, or at least, a sentence or two.
"Take care of it for me," said Luffy.
"I promise!!" said little Kiki.
