After Battle

Sanji, Chopper, Usopp, Zoro, and Juba were attacking the guards and the rebels to make them stop fighting. Left and right the people came at them. Pell's sacrifice still fresh in their minds. Juba could still hear Vivi cry out to make the people stop fighting.

"Damn," stated Juba, "these guy's don't quit." Juba kept attacking. All of a sudden a mighty roar came from the clock tower. Juba knew it was Bear trying to stop the fighting. However, the people didn't stop. All of sudden, the ground began to shake. Then, something came up from the ground not to far from the square. Juba looked up and he recognized who it was.

"Juba, what is it?" Nami asked impatiently.

"LOOK!" Juba shouted and pointed to the sky. Everyone looked up in the sky. All of their faces lit up.

"CROCODILE!" shouted everyone.

"If that is Crocodile, then Luffy won," added Juba. They all shouted with joy. Then, Crocodile landed in the square and the sand storm stopped. After the sand storm cleared, something else came. A rain storm came. The rain poured down like a waterfall. Everyone stopped fighting as soon as they realized it was raining.

"VIVI!" shouted Juba, "IF YOU ARE GOING TO TALK TO THEM NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!" Vivi took a deep breath.

"EVERYONE STOP FIGHTING!" Everyone stared at the clock tower in amazement.

"It's about time," Bear said with relief in his voice.

"I agree," Juba stated.

"What is exactly over?" asked a rebel.

"The fight," replied Juba.

"After what they have done?" stated another rebel.

"It wasn't them!" shouted another voice. Juba, Bear, Sanji, Zoro, Chopper, Nami, and Usopp. It was a man with blond hair with curls, and he was wearing a blue suit.

"IGRAM!" shouted Vivi. Juba stared at the weird man. Then, Chopper, Usopp who was being dragged by Zoro, Nami, Sanji, and Bear started to walk away. Juba followed them. After a little while walking, everyone ran into Cobra who was carrying Luffy on his back.

"Juba? Is that you?" asked Cobra as soon as Juba was in view.

"Yeah," replied Juba, "and you have our captain on your back."

"I see," stated Cobra, "so these must be the rest of your friends that you and Vivi mentioned." Juba nodded his head. Bear started to walk away.

"Where are you going?" asked Juba.

"I have to meet up with my crew," replied Bear, "they are waiting for me up ahead." Juba looked ahead to see the crew that he met when he first met Bear.

"So," Juba said as he walked towards Bear, "this is good-bye then."

"Yup," replied Bear. Juba gave Bear a high five, and then Bear just walked away.

"Until we met again," Juba said under his breath. Juba turned around to see Vivi running towards them.

"You guy's aren't leaving now are you?" she asked with sadness in her voice.

"Please," added Cobra, "you must rest."

"Well, some rest would be nice," stated Juba.

"Then," stated Cobra, "come to the castle whenever you are ready." Cobra and Vivi left the area. As soon as they were gone: Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, and Zoro fell asleep. They were all out like Luffy except for Juba.

"Great," Juba stated to himself, "that means I have to get these guy's there myself." Juba found a cart nearby and pushed it to where everyone was asleep. When he got there, the Marines were there.

"So, you are part of the crew too?" asked the woman with glasses.

"Yeah," replied Juba. Juba was just about out of energy. He knew that he didn't have the strength to fight them off.

"So," the woman said as she turned around to the other Marines with her, "you are not to arrest him either. MOVE OUT!" The woman ran off with tears in her eyes. The other Marines followed her. Juba smiled.

"Well," Juba said tired and falling, "she is okay." That was the last thing that he heard before darkness over took his sight and hearing.

******

Juba awoke in a soft bed in a white room. Juba sat up slowly to see that he was in the castle.

"You are awake," Chopper's voice came from a nearby table. Juba looked at Chopper and slowly nodded his head.

"How long was I out?"

"Nearly a full day," replied Chopper.

"Well, that would explain why I feel so strange." Chopper chuckled a little.

"Yup, that would be the reason Juba."

"So, how is Luffy?" Juba asked with concern in his voice. Chopper pointed to the bed next to him. There was Luffy, sleepy soundly like a child.

"He was poisoned," added Chopper, "but he received the antidote so he is going to be alright." Juba sighed in relief.

"That is good," Juba stated. Then, Nami and Usopp walked into the room.

"Juba," Nami said with a smile on her face, "glad to see that you are awake." Usopp nodded his head in agreement. Juba knew that everything was alright. Juba got out of bed and stretched his arms and legs.

"Well, I think I will go get some exercise," Juba said as he transformed into a wolf.

"Just don't go outside the palace," Usopp informed Juba.

"Why not?" asked Juba.

"The Marines," Nami pointed out.

"Don't worry I'll be fine." Juba bolted out of the room into the open air. Running like he had not ran in years. The wind on his face felt so good.

2nd Day

One full day had pass and Luffy wasn't awake. Vivi and Chopper were watching him around the clock to make sure everything was fine. Juba thought if he was going to finish his talk he started with Nami on Drum Island, now would be a good time. Juba looked in the castle for her and found her reading one of the king's books.

"Hi Juba," Nami greeted Juba. Juba sat down next to her.

"Can we finish the talk we started on Drum Island?" Juba asked. Nami nodded her head and she could tell that Juba was serious.

"So, where did we leave off?" Nami asked the first question.

"I was telling you that you can tell a lot about a person through their eyes," Juba started, "certain training that I received from a friend, I can tell when a person has feelings for someone else."

"Really?" Nami asked with a confused voice.

"Yes," replied Juba, "like the feelings that you have for Luffy." Nami looked completely shock.

"What are you talking about?" Nami asked as her face was getting red.

"You know exactly what I am talking about," Juba stated, "you are in. . ."

"Hello there," Cobra's voice came from the door. The door opened and Cobra stepped into the room. "I am sorry. Did I interrupt something?" Juba stood and shook his head.

"Nothing at all," stated Juba. Juba then turned to Nami and waved signaling that he was leaving. Juba left the room leaving Cobra confused and Nami in shock.

3rd Day

After three days, Luffy finally woke up in time for supper. The royal family held a huge feast in honor of Luffy and his crew. Luffy ate like there was no tomorrow and everyone had a blast. Usopp made a plate spin on his nose and Chopper was dancing with chopsticks in his nose. Everyone laughed until they cried. After the feast, Cobra led the other men into the men's bath house to clean themselves up a little.

"Ah," Juba said once he got into the warm water, "this is so refreshing." Juba lost track of time a little bit, but snapped back into it when he heard everyone scream. Juba looked at them and they were all on the ground with bloody noses.

"MELLORINE!" Sanji said out loud. Juba looked at the wall and looked depressed.

"You guy's get bloody noses by staring at a wall?" Juba asked.

"NO WE DON'T!" all the men yelled.

"Then, how the hell did you guy's get bloody noses?"

"Look over the wall," Sanji said and pointed to the half wall nearby. Juba shook his head.

"I'll pass," Juba said as he sat back down in the warm water.

"Chicken," Sanji said under his breath.

"I'm a wolf or did you forget?" Juba asked sarcastically. Everyone laughed. This is great, Juba thought to himself, I wonder what adventure awaits us.
