A/N: Wow. This is so late. Big WOOPS. I wrote it like THREE days ago and never had the chance to finish it up and post it. A THOUSAND APOLOGIES.
ALSO! I have a question for all of you, which I will put down below. A read and a response is assuredly appreciated.

There were three new things sitting on Uno's desk when his assistant came in: a large bottle of aspirin, and two goldfish.
"That'll eat away at your stomach lining," she said.
"I don't plan on letting them at my stomach lining," he said.
She paused. "I meant the aspirin, not the fish."
"Oh. I wondered."
She held out an envelope to him.
"I don't want to see it," he said, waving it away and reaching for the aspirin.
"Those are the fish."
"Oh." He tried again, and got it right this time.

A/N: Okay. So. Here's my question: how many people are more or less up-to-date with the current story line in the manga, or at least don't care at all about spoilers? I ask this because, well (and what I say will be spoiler free for the people who answered "no" to that question): it's been pretty clear for a while that Luffy and Co. have been looking for a new crew member (specifically, a shipwright). I thought that I'd be safe until the current story arc got closer to its end (which won't be for many moons, I am sure), but that MAY not be the case after all (damn you, Oda). Just to clarify, nothing is confirmed yet, and I absolutely won't make any changes until it IS confirmed, but if I don't include the new crew member when it's official (as in, from that point on), this will feel dated (note: I am CRAZY). So. If that should happen before I finish this mess (and god only KNOWS when that will be...), I wanted to get everybody's consensus. Possibly this only matters to me.
