Scene Twenty-One: Epilogue Part One – There's more?

An unknown time later, the Thousand Sunny sailed across the sparkling ocean of the Grand Line. With their adventure done and over with, crew returned to their original goal: Sabaody Archipelago. It was still unknown how long it would take for them to reach the next island, but they enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere that had become a rarity on Merveille. Especially for one young navigator as she recovered from Daft. Chopper, being the doctor, noted on how quickly she was recovering.

"Well, it's good that you're recovering faster than I expected. Ah, but don't push yourself too hard."

"Don't worry. I had the best doctor and nurse." Nami sat up from the nursing bed – wearing a large white collared shirt given to her by Luffy and her hair tied into two ponytails – as she smiled towards the Chopper, currently in Brain Point, as he walked up next to his 'nurse' Mika. The young girl – currently wearing a pink shirt and white shirt with 'Little Devil' spelled out in red and wearing a nurse's hat – as she smiled back to her mother happy to see she was okay. Meanwhile Chopper just did what he usually does when complimented.

"Ah~, don't compliment me~, idiot~." Mika giggled seeing the doctor acting so bashfully while Nami was just amused with the reindeer's attitude. Nami then moved the covers off her body as she prepared to stand up.

"And also, I just want to take a breather outside."

"I see. Then go. I'm sure everybody will be happy."

"I'll lead you out!"

"Why thank you, Nurse Mika." Nami smiled happily as her little girl ran up to her ready escort her out. Both Mika and Chopper were excited to release Nami, knowing that the rest of their nakama would be excited as well. Mika then helped her mother out of bed and lead her by her arm to the door. As Nami followed, she looked down at her sister's ring that she had given and smiled knowing that she was safe.

"Guys, Nami's up."

"And she's all better." Chopper shouted out first as he opened the door and was soon followed by Mika leading Nami outside. Every crew member then turned to the infirmary as they all stopped what they were doing, everyone now wearing their regular outfits.

"What?"

"Huh?"

"Nami~!" Being the ladies' man he was, Sanji was quick to start swooning over Nami though also doing his best to not intrude too close. Everyone soon began moving towards the stairway where Mika continued to lead her mother down following Chopper. Franky was the next to speak up.

"Yo, are you all good?"

"Yeah, I'm all good."

"Thanks to me and Doctor Chopper."

"That's good." Brook stood up from his seat next to Zoro as he placed his hands behind himself like a gentlemen. "Now that you're up…" Brook then moved forward a bit as he seemed to want to ask the recovering woman a question. Nami listened as she and Mika stopped in the middle of the stairs as they stared at Brook. "Excuse me, Mrs. Nami, would you mind -"

"Knock it off!" Before Brook could ask, Sanji furiously kicked Brook down before he could even finish. The skeleton man crashed into some nearby crates, though Nami had expected what the question was she smiled as she was happy that the crew was still lively as ever. Brook then recovered as he gave a fool-hearty laugh.

"Yohohoho! That was harsh."

"Shut up!" As Sanji shouted back at Brook, everyone just seemed amused by their antics. Except for two. Sitting over on the railing, Luffy and Akio were finishing. They both looked back, pouting for some reason as they stared at Nami. Eventually though, Luffy spoke out sounding angry.

"Hey Nami!"

"Huh?"

"How do you explain this?" Nami looked over to the side hearing her husband's voice with Mika following suit. Abandoning their fishing spot, both males walked over to the stair way the two girls were as Luffy held out the Tone Dial Nami had left them. Akio then played back up, much like kids do.

"Yeah, explain?"

"Huh?"

"Wait, that's…" Though Mika was confused by the shell, Nami seemed almost embarrassed as she ran down the stairs leaving her daughter behind. Mika quickly followed behind while Luffy continued to express his anger to his wife.

"You said I couldn't beat Shiki and everybody's going to die… What a bunch of bullshit." Nami soon reached his side and tried to take the shell away from him. The watched amusedly as the two adults practically acted like little kids themselves. However Luffy continued to avoid Nami's hand as he continued to express himself. "It's true that he buried me, but that's only because I was hungry."

"That's because I thought…"

"I'm speechless. I didn't think you couldn't trust me despite what we've been through with each other. I'm disappointed."

"Yeah, how could you Mrs. Monkey."

"Why mom?" The kids soon joined in with Luffy, with Akio sounding just as disappointed as Luffy was while Mika was more confused and hurt. A moment of silence came across the deck as the crew stared disbelievingly at the group angry at Nami. Usopp then spoke up as he did not understand what either Luffy or the kids were saying.

"Luffy, kids, what are you talking about?"

"Huh, what do you mean?" Luffy's group looked back at Usopp as they all spoke confused by what the sniper was trying to say. Zoro soon spoke up as well, though surprised at the group.

"Maybe you didn't hear it?"

"Nami was in a tough spot, you know." Robin spoke up as well, seemingly agreeing with the group. Chopper soon spoke up as well sympathizing with the Luffy's group, though also agreeing with the crew.

"That's what I thought too, but after I heard that…"

"Heard what?" Luffy's group spoke up again with Luffy sounding frustrated as no one was telling him anything. The kids, on the other hand, were becoming more curious about the shell as the turn their gazes on it. Sanji then also spoke up sounding disappointed.

"Geez, you're hopeless. The kids I could understand, but you Luffy. All I could hear was a love message…"

"Yohohoho."

"That message was intended for the… simplest guy like you, dear…"

"Why don't we hear it again?" Franky soon spoke up his idea with Usopp agreeing. Nami then turned to the group as she shouted at them frustrated.

"Wait!"

"I see."

"I wanna do it!" Mika snatched the shell from her father as she pushed the button on the shell. As the message played, Nami reached to grab the shell only for Luffy to get it first and put it up to his ear to listen. Nami then tried grabbing it from Luffy shouting at him with Mika and Akio trying to listen in.

"Knock it off! It's embarrassing!" Luffy only dodged her as the message played.

"Please forgive me for being unable to say farewell to you all directly."

"Quiet down."

"Dad, I can't hear!"

"Captain Luffy!"

"I've decided to join Shiki's crew as their -"

"It's over, so throw it away!" Eventually, Nami finally was able to get the shell away from Luffy and quickly ran towards the edge of the Sunny. Both Luffy and the kids shouted at her as she had also turned off the shell.

"Ah!"

As Nami passed the rest of the crew, she was ready to throw the shell into the ocean. However one eccentric crew member did not want her to get rid of the shell itself. "Hey!" Just as Nami was about to throw the shell, Usopp grabbed the shell out of Nami's hand. Nami then unconsciously continued with her throw only to notice the shell gone from her hands. She then turned back to Usopp looking confused.

"Huh?"

"Don't throw it away. It's a precious dial. We can still use it." As Usopp kept the shell back and away from Nami, Luffy immediately took the shell from Usopp. The long-nosed sniper and the orange haired navigator soon noticed the shell was no longer in Usopp's hold and immediately Nami went after it soon followed by Usopp.

"Give it back."

"Nami, don't throw it away!" As the five nakama fought over the shell, Luffy pushed the button once again. The message then played once again as they all fought over the shell on the other side of the ship as the rest of the crew watched.

"Wait!"

"Please forgive me for being unable to say farewell to you all directly. I've decided to join Shiki's crew as their navigator. Shiki is a legendary pirate whom Luffy and you guys can't oppose."

As the three adults fought over the shell that Luffy kept high above them, the kids were pouting as they could not possibly reach the shell. However Mika soon got an idea and ran over to the railing. She then climbed onto the railing and carefully walked her way over to the arguing adults.

"You will only be wasting your life if you come after me."

As Nami tried her best to reach the shell, with both Usopp and Luffy working against her it would be almost impossible to reach. However Nami knew she had one thing over Usopp. As she jumped trying to push over the shell, Nami leaned in as she tried to kiss Luffy in an attempt to distract him. At this point, Mika jumped into the group smiling getting in-between Nami kissing Luffy. Through this combination, surprising as it may be, Nami was able to push the shell off while also causing both her and Luffy to inadvertently double kiss Mika on her cheeks. Meanwhile, Usopp separated trying to reach out for the shell while Luffy and Nami held onto each other keeping Mika from falling.

"That's why I'll say this…"

Though Mika was surprised by the double cheek kiss, Mika smiled and giggled having received something better than the shell. And though Luffy and Nami were also surprised, they both quickly forgot the shell as they both smiled as big as Mika hugging even closer as a family. Feeling the love between her parents, Mika shifted her body lower making Nami and Luffy directly kiss. And while surprised again, they didn't break as they continued to kiss lovingly while Mika smiled cheekily still in between her parents. Meanwhile the flying shell continued to play, giving out the last bit of the message that Luffy and the kids would never unless they ask.

"Definitely… Come to save me."
