Rose's POV

My head's killing me.

"She's awake!"

I opened my eyes and was surrounded by all my friends.

"Don't move I gotta patch you up first." Chopper said pushing me to the ground.

I saw my brother giving me a reassuring look. He walked over and gave me his usual smile.

"Glad you're gonna be okay. Your new friend was a big help."

I looked past him and saw Wyper was on the ground, he looked like he was in bad shape.

"Don't worry about me Chopper, go help him."

"But you're covered in cuts."

"Come on." Steve said "Go help the man, Doctor."

"Shut up. You think I like your dumb compliments." Chopper said going to help the man "You're right his arms practically shattered."

"Why'd you let Chopper help him?" Rose asked.

"Cause, he's a nice guy. We probably wouldn't have stopped Eneru without him." Steve explained.

"You beat Eneru?" I asked hoping someone took that bastard down.

"Well technically Luffy did."

"HEY!"

"Well there he is now." Steve said helping me walk over to Luffy and Nami.

They had raided the priest's storage on the way back and stolen most of the food so we'd have something to eat.

"Rose, you're okay!" Luffy said hugging me.

"Ow, Ow, Ow not so hard."

"Sorry."

"Jeez Luffy" Zoro said "Learn to be gentle."

"Your one to talk." I mumbled

"What was that?"

"You heard me you oaf! Always rushing in without thinking and doing stupid stuff."

"Says the woman who nearly got herself killed trying to help a guy she barely knows!"

"You two wanna do this somewhere else?" Nami said.

"Maybe we should." Zoro said

"Yeah maybe!" I answered as we both stormed off away from everyone else.

When we decided we were a sufficient distance from the others we resumed our argument.

"What's your problem?" Zoro said

"My problem what's your problem?!"

"Ever since you met that Wyper guy you've done nothing but argue with me." Zoro said.

"Wyper has nothing to do with this." I yelled "But at least he cared enough to help me when I was in danger!"

"Listen to yourself; he probably melted your brain with one of those dials."

"What. Stop Zoro." I said turning around "clearly there's some kind of disconnect in our relationship. You clearly feel inferior to Wyper."

"I thought you said this had nothing to do with him!".

"Zoro I think we should break up."

He stayed silent.

"It's obvious this isn't working out. Every time I so much as smile at another man you get all protective, I can't keep this up it seems like all we've done the past few days is argue. Something changed when we became honest with Steve about us." I bit my lip trying to hold in the tears "Maybe the secret is what made this romantic, I don't know but whatever it was it's gone now. I just don't feel that way anymore, I'd rather we just be friends."

"Wait…"

"No…Whatever we had before is gone now… I'm going back to the others."

I made my way back to the others trying not to cry, when I got there they we still eating.

I walked up to Nami "Can you come here for a sec?"

She followed me away from the others in silence.

When we got pretty far away I pulled her into a hug and cried.

"It's over, Zoro and me"

She rubbed my back "I'm so sorry… Maybe it's for the best."

Steve's POV

Rose and Nami came back and sat down a half hour later, it was obvious she'd been crying. I could tell the second she came back without Zoro something was wrong, but seeing her red eyes was more than enough to make it clear to me.

I'll deal with that shitstorm later.

"Let's have a party!" Luffy yelled "We need a lot of sticks for a big bonfire!"

Maybe that'll lighten the mood.

"HeHeHe! Alright!" I smiled "We've had a long couple days, I think we could all use some fun."

We split into groups to collect the needed wood, I took Luffy and Rose with me.

"Luffy don't get lost ya hear!" I said as he ran off into the nearby forest, then I turned to Rose "you wanna talk about it."

"Not really." She said keeping her head down.

"Was it you or him?" I asked.

"Me"

"So when it comes to being a couple once I know about it you two don't even last a week."

"Real funny." She said as she cut one of the trees.

"What are we talking about?" Luffy dropped in.

"Sibling stuff." I said smacking his head.

"Hey Rose I heard your new friend was super strong." Luffy punched the air "Nami said he killed that Eneru guy with one of those dials, and he had all those cool powerful weapons!"

"He's pretty strong." Rose laughed.

LATER

The party got into full swing and quickly grew out of control. It seemed like all of Skypiea was at this thing. Everyone was dancing and singing. Rose even looked like she was starting to get her cheerfulness back.

"Aren't you going to join them?" Robin asked.

"Soon, I have some business to take care of first." I told her.

"What would that be?" She said taking a seat next to me.

"A secret." I told her with a smirk "Luffy come on!"

"How mysterious." She said in her usual sexy voice.

"Are you felling any better, getting shocked like that must have hurt?"

"You got it worse than me, I'll be alright."

I stood up and brushed my pants off "I gotta go but I'll talk to you later, Beautiful."

"I wish you wouldn't call me that…, Handsome"

"You know you love it!" I called without turning around.

It took a little bit but I managed to track down the man we were looking for. He was sitting with his friends; he was still covered in bandages.

"Wyper." I said sitting down without being asked "How are you feeling?"

"I've been better." He grumbled rubbing his shoulder.

"This is the powerful weapon guy?" Luffy asked "Join-!"

"Answer's no."

"We haven't even asked yet." I said raising an eyebrow.

"You were going to ask if I wanted to go with you." He said "I'm sure the Blue-Sea is a nice place and all but this is my homeland."

"You're a smart man, so will you join us I could us someone who actually knows about weapons, an armorer of some kind." I told him

He opened his mouth to answer but a woman cut him off "Go Wyper."

"Laki!"

"She right." A man with a Mohawk added "You always said you wanted to see where we really come from you just wouldn't go because of the fighting, this is the perfect chance the war is over.."

"You two." He said with a stern look.

"Go with them" "You know you want to." Two other men added.

He looked shocked that all these people wanted him to go with us.

Aisa walked up next "Please go Wyper you'll have so much fun, you'll regret it forever if you don't go."

"You wanna tell the world about this place right?" I asked.

"Well than what better way than to be on a ship that makes it all the way to the end of the Grand Line." Luffy laughed "Making awesome weapons and stuff for the Kings of the Pirates!"

"You all realize if I go down there, I might not every be able to get back up." He said looking at his friends sternly.

They all laughed "Knowing you, you'd find a way."

He just shook his head and groaned, and then he raised his head "Fine, I'll go with you."

I smiled and slapped his shoulder "HeHeHe! We leave in the morning. I suggest you pack those dials; you won't find them in the Blue-sea."

"Yeah a weapon maker!" Luffy cheered.

"You use your fists I doubt he can make anything for you." I laughed.

The party toned down eventually and everyone fell asleep. I was awoken when Luffy started shaking me.

"What the hell Luffy, it's late."

"I forgot to tell you something."

"Can't this wait till morning?"

"I know where the gold is. So let's wake the others and steal it."

…Luffy…found….Gold…

"WHERE IS IT?!"

Unfortunately, my yelling woke pretty much everybody.

"What are you screaming about?" Nami said with a dirty look.

Luffy pulled everyone into a huddle and whispered that we were going into the snake tomorrow in order to steal the gold.

"Tomorrow is the day, we leave with no regrets." I said

Before we broke the huddle Robin asked if I had taken care of my 'business'

"Oh that. I told you, it's a secret.

LATER

We got up extremely early the next morning to get our plan under way. Luffy took Nami, Sanji and Chopper into the snake to get the treasure. Robin and I were going to join them but we heard the Shandorians had found the Golden Bell and she insisted on taking a look and I offered to accompany her. When we got to where the bell supposedly was, a large group of men were pulling the bell off the beanstalk and onto stable ground.

"One more pull!"

Robin quickly picked up her pace when she saw that there was writing on the bell. She walked up and recited what was written there.

"Can that woman really read the ancient language?" the chief asked me.

"I've never seen her fail." I said with a big smile, I turned to Robin "Did you find what you wanted?"

"Just more dead ends and useless weapons." She said looking more angry than upset.

"Wait there's something written on the side."

Robin gasped and read the passage aloud "I followed the text to the end. Gol D. Roger."

"You're saying Roger was up here!" I yelled.

I wonder if dad and mom came up here then.

"There was once a man who visited this place, he was a pirate from the Blue-sea, and I believe his name was Roger." Gan Fall told us.

"Was there a boy with red hair like mine, or a woman who could control plants with him?"

"Maybe, I'm not sure it was a long time ago. But I think I remember someone with hair like yours."

I couldn't hold back my smile and I started to laugh.

"What's so funny?" Robin asked.

"Nothing" I took a few breaths to calm myself down.

Robin explained to the chief that the Poneglyph had fulfilled its purpose. It had been read and moved on to the end of the Grande Line.

"So does that mean we don't have to fight anymore?" This must have meant a lot to the chief because he wasn't just crying; he was weeping "Thank you so much, I can't give you the bell but how about you take the broken pillar as a gift."

"Really, sure!" I said.

"Boy." Gan Fall said calling me over "The boy with the strawhat, he reminds me of Roger, are they related?"

"I don't know, but his name is Monkey D. Luffy."

"So they have the same initial."

I went to walk off with Robin and the people of the sky were going to move the golden pillar for us. Along the way I ran into Wyper.

"You ready to go."

"As ready as I can be, since the fighting will stop now, I have nothing holding me here." He said "I'll go to the Blue-Sea, I'll see the world my ancestors called home, and tell them that Skypiea is real."

"Then let's go."

When we got back Luffy and the others we're still pretty far off, they told Robin to hurry it up. They had the gold from the snake in sacks on the backs of the men.

"COME ON LET'S GO!" Luffy yelled.

"Seems like they don't want it." Robin said as we started picking up our speed and leaving the people carrying the pillar behind.

"Don't worry that this wouldn't have fit on our ship anyway!" I laughed.

Wyper wasn't keeping up with us "You certainly have some strange friends, refusing the gold like that."

"Ehh we already got a bunch from the snake." I told him

"You stole from my people!"

"Look at the size of the thing they have left!"

When we caught up to the other Usopp started screaming.

"AHHH! That guerilla is chasing us."

"Relax Usopp. Wyper's gonna be coming with us. We'll need someone who actually knows how to use those dials. And he can help repair the Waver if it breaks." I said with a smile.

"And he can make us a super awesome cannon!" Luffy cheered.

"You don't get to shoot it!" I snapped.

"HUH?"

"I'll try not to blow any of you up." Wyper opened up his bag "Combine these with the ones Long-nose has and we'll be set."

"Well then let's get back to where we belong, the Blue-sea!"
