Some time after Doctorine gave us that unusual good-bye present, we all made it back to Going Merry. Even after we returned to the ship, though, we all looked back at the sakura-like view. I was actually amazed that Hiluluk, the decease doctor, actually made sakura bloom on a winter island. Even though it's not really sakura, it's still amazing.

"Oi... Is that Chopper guy okay?" Usopp asked.

"Leave him be for a little while," I said. "He was born on that island, and left with a good-bye gift that was made by the first man that opened his heart."

"Right now, he's trying to comprehend the 'journey of a man'," Sanji stated.

"He's never left this island even once in his entire life," Vivi added. "And now he's leaving it behind."

Time later, I don't know how, but the guys began to party on the ship. Again, I don't know how it came to this. Of course, Chopper-kun was the only one not partying with them, for he was sitting on the back of the ship, looking at his home island until it is out of sight.

"Chopper! Oi, Chopper! You jerk! How much longer are you going to sit there?!" Usopp shouted. I saw that he was about to give the reindeer some grog and slapped him silly.

"Oi! Don't you dare try to give my little brother alcohol! Got it memorized?!" I yelled.

"Yes ma'am..." the long-nose weakly replied.

"Xion-swan~! You're so cool when you slap the shitty liar around like you did~!" HOW THE HELL CAN HE STILL GO GAGA OVER ME?! Then again, it's Sanji. What should we expect from someone like him?

"Xion-nee is so cool~!" Chopper-kun complimented me, with sparkles in his eyes.

I sighed, as I just remembered how easily amazed Chopper-kun can get sometimes. I then noticed that Nami was talking to my little brother and brought my attention to Vivi's poor duck Carue. Why did I say 'poor duck'?

"Carue! Why were you frozen in the river?" she asked her companion.

'S-... S-... So cold...' was all I heard from the duck.

When we got back to the ship, you see, Carue was in the river. And due to my bad habit, I had to risk my life and jump in the cold water to save it. Luckily for the two of us, I warmed us up with my fire magic.

"Heheh! He probably slipped an fell in!" Zoro assumed. "What a klutz."

"Shut up, Mr. Bushido!" Vivi shouted.

'Z-zoro went swimming in t-th-the river. And w-w-when he didn't come back, I-i-i thought something bad happened. S-s-so I jumped in after him and ended up like t-t-this...' IT WAS THAT IDIOT, NO-SENSE-OF-DIRECTION SWORDSMAN'S FAULT!?

"ZORO YOU IDIOT!" I snapped.

"What for?" he asked.

"Carue said that some guy named Zoro went swimming in the river. And when he didn't come back, he thought something bad happened to him. So he jumped in after him and got frozen," Chopper reworded.

"SO IT WAS YOUR FAULT!" Nami blamed, wacking him in the head as I did the same with my Keyblade, which I recently learned that the name was Miraculous Blossom.

"As I said earlier, you're an idiot!" I yelled.

"Tony-kun. You can understand what Carue is saying?" the princess asked the reindeer.

"Yeah," he nodded.

"What'd you expect? Chopper-kun was originally an animal, so he can understand what other animals are saying," I said.

"He can understand animals?"

"Not just me; Xion-nee can too," the young devil fruit user added.

"Eh?! Really?!" It's not surprising that they didn't know.

"Yeah. I taught her how to communicate with them. So she can understand them as well."

"I must've forgotten to tell you guys, huh?" I said, scratching the back of my head.

"You're making it sound like it's true," Usopp said.

"And it is true. Before I got my memory about it back, I was wondering how I can understand them. It's been like this ever since we made it to the Grand Line."

"That's amazing, Chopper! You have your medical abilities, and that as well! You even taught Xion how to do something that no humans can do!" Nami praised.

"Idiot! Complimenting me like that doesn't make me happy! You asshole~!" Or so the reindeer said, as he does his happy dance.

"You'll get use to that part of Chopper-kun," I spoke. "He's the type of person, or animal, who can't hide his true feelings."

"By the way, Nami, what do you mean by 'medical abilities'?" Zoro asked.

"Chopper's a doctor," she answered. "He had every single bit of Dr. Kureha's medical knowledge pounded into him. He's a first-class reindeer doctor!"

"WHAT?!" all the guys, except Sanji, gasped.

'Guess he already knows,' I thought.

"Chopper, you're a doctor?!" the swordsman asked.

"Wow!"

'Luffy, you only want him to join because of his other abilities, did you?' I mentally asked, knowing that it's exactly why he wanted Chopper-kun to join.

"You're kidding!" Usopp said in disbelief.

"Geez! Just what did you invite Chopper to be?" our navigator asked the captain.

"Seven-level transformation. Cool reindeer," he simply replied.

"I thought that was the reason," I muttered.

"Emergency food supply," came Sanji's voice. Hearing that answer from his mouth, instantly got a blood vessle in me to pop.

"I DARE YOU TO SAY THAT AGAIN!" I yelled, causing the ship itself to jump, as I mercilessly beat up Sanji. "New rule! No eating my little brother! Or you'll end up like our idiot chef here! Got it memorized?!" I then declared, pointing at the bloody pirate.

"Y-yes ma'am!" they all replied in fear, except for Chopper-kun of course.

"LOUDER!" I demanded, not satisfied with the answer.

"YES MA'AM!" Now I was satisfied.

"By the way, Xion. I noticed that there's something different about your Keyblade," Vivi spoke up.

"Oh. This? This is the Miraculous Blossom Keyblade. I found the Keychain in my pocket when I was going to meet up with you guys."

"Eh. A new Keyblade. Looks pretty," Nami voiced out her thoughts.

"Ahh! Oh no! I was in such a hurry to leave that I forgot my medical supplies!" Chopper-kun panicked.

"Really? Then what's in this thing?" Nami asked, taking out a blue bag.

"My backpack!" he identified.

"It was on the sleigh," I said. "If I know Doctorine, I say she had a feeling that you'd be joining us. Which would probably explain that sakura. And if that's true, she probably prepared that for you. Wouldn't you agree, Chopper-kun?"

Upon hearing that, my little brother's eyes began to tear up.

"She's an wonderful person," Nami stated.

"Yeah," he agreed.

"Oi! Chopper! Come and try this already!" Way to kill the mood AGAIN, Luffy.

"Geez. The sun's coming up already," our navigator said.

"It can't be helped. After all we've been through on the island. It's no reason why the sun's up that fast. Right, Chopper-kun?" I didn't get a reply from him and got a bit worried.

"Chopper?" Nami and I looked down on the reindeer and saw that he's putting Chopsticks in his nostrils like how Luffy and Usopp are doing it. "DON'T DO THAT!" she yelled in disgust.

"Boys will be boys, I guess," was all I can say.

Usopp then spoke up, wanting to make a toast to having Chopper in our little family. Of course, since he's not really the captain, no one was paying attention to him. It was that, or they were all too busy fighting (Sanji and Zoro) or eating (Carue, after he got all warmed up) or fooling around (Luffy).

"You know..." my little brother spoke. "This is the first time I had this much fun!"

Nami and I smiled at that statement of his.

"TO OUR NEW NAKAMA! KANPAI!" Usopp shouted.

"AYE!" we all agreed. "KANPAI!"

The next day, I wanted to get some more training. Due to the fact that I forgot to get some training supplies of any kind from Drum Kingdom, I had no choice but to train in my Dive to the Heart. Before I went there, I told Chopper about my situation. After a brief explaination, he agreed to look after my body while I'm training.

Now here I am, back in the dark world on a glowing platform.

"Welcome back, Xion." And here comes Voice.

"Yeah. And you know why I'm here, right?" I asked.

"I'm assuming that you want to know more about the power of your Keyblade, don't you?"

"After what happened back in Drum, it should be obvious. Chopper-kun gave me this drug that revealed its hidden power. I want to get stronger, but I also want to know more about the Keyblade. Voice. You know more about it, don't you? I want you to teach me everything about it. Little by little. Step by step. Besides, I already promised myself that I would do whatever I can to defeat those guys who work in the same organization that Luxord works for. What if I do get stronger, but use the same battle style? The people who I used to work for, surely they already know how I fight? And even with the Links and the Skill Balls, it's only a matter of time until they know my every move."

"... I understand. We will begin with Limit Breaks."

"Limit Break?"

"Do you remember your battle with Luxord? Do you remember how he suddenly got stronger when he was at his limit?"

"Now that you mentioned it..."

*FLASHBACK*

"You cheater!" he yelled.

"Cheater? What are you talking about? In a fight, anything goes," I questioned and told him. "Ah, yes. You should also know by now that you shouldn't be distracted in a life-and-death battle." As soon as I said that, Wyvern burned him with his fire breathe.

"I... won't lose!" Luxord yelled. As he did, I saw a faint blue aura surrounding him, which slowly got brighter. "Limit Break," I heard him mutter. "Jackpot!" As soon as he said that, a card with a cross symbol appeared. The bad news: it exploded. The good news: Wyvern and I didn't get caught in it.

'Is he planning on committing suicide?' I wonder. The second the smoke lifted, another card appeared, this time with a flashing symbol. Unlike the one with the cross, though, some energy balls appeared and exploded on me! I considered myself lucky that it wasn't like a bomb. Despite that luck, it still hurts.

"How do you like that?" Luxord asked. "It hurts, doesn't it? That energy blast. Let's say that it's punishment for leaving the organization. And there's still a lot more where that comes from, Xion."

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"That was Luxord's Limit Break. Now we need to find yours," Voice said.

"And how do we do that?" I asked. Suddenly, I was attacked from behind. It was more than an attack; something pierced my right shoulder.

*BACK IN REALITY**GENERAL'S P.O.V*

Vivi was explaining to the Straw Hats all the members of the Baroque Works. When suddenly...

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Chopper suddenly screamed.

"Chopper?" Nami spoke in shock.

"What's wrong, Chopper?" Luffy asked, as everyone on the ship looked at the talking reindeer.

"It... It was only for a couple of minutes... AND XION-NEE'S BLEEDING FROM HER RIGHT SHOULDER!" he explained.

"EHHHHHHH?!" they all, including Carue, gasped, jaw dropped and eyes bugged out.

"SOMEONE GET A DOCTOR! SAVE XION-NEE! AHHHHHHHH!"

"THAT'S YOU!" they all reminded the silly reindeer.

"Oh. That's right." He instantly went through his bag and got out bandages, disinfection, and stitches. "Ahhh! How did this happen?!"

"Didn't Xion tell you?" Usopp asked.

"About what?"

"You see, Chopper, when Xion is training in her Dive to the Whachamacallit, all the damage she takes there is also inflicted to her body."

"THAT'S WHY SHE TOLD ME TO LOOK AFTER IT?!"

"She said that she needs a professional doctor who can take care of her injuries as she trains in her Dive to the Heart. Or so that guy who is also in her body said," Nami replied, mumbling the last part to herself. "If anything happens to her body while she's training there, it will affect the chance of her coming back. Meaning that if she lost a limb, that limb will cost her her life."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I WAS TOLD NOTHING ABOUT THIS! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! XION-NEE! DON'T DIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!" Chopper cried, as he hastily began to treat her body. As he did so, she suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood and she was starting to bleed from her stomach. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! XION-NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"Just what kind of training is she doing in there?" Nami questioned in fear.

"I don't know. And I don't want to know," Zoro replied.

"AHHHHHHHHH! XION-SWAN! DON'T DIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!" Sanji cried, which isn't helping the situation.

*BACK IN THE DIVE TO THE HEART*

Oh, like this is fair. Me vs a lot of those Pirates from the time when I was still known as the Demon of Tanoshi Island. What's worse is that I have to fight with my left arm, one of those pirates got me in the stomach and Voice said that I can't use my cure spell in this training. This is just great.

Another Pirate was about to attack me. I side-stepped to evade its attack.

"What are you doing?" I heard Voice ask me.

"Isn't it obvious?... If I didn't move like I did... I would've lose a limb," I replied between breaths.

"You do remember of the objective of this training, do you not?" I froze for a moment, giving one of the pirates the chance to cut me down, if I didn't block it in time.

"Even so, I don't know how to use Limit Break!" I reasoned.

"FOOL!" Voice's sudden outburst caught me off guard. No, it NEARLY costed me my life, had I not block the next attack in time! "Tell me now! What is the meaning of Limit Break?!"

'Is this even the time to think about the meaning of something that I'm being taught?!' I mentally asked, blocking and dodging attacks from the Heartless. It wasn't long until I was on the edge of the platform. Just when I looked back at my opponents, they all suddenly jumped in to attack me.

"God! Chain Rave!" I held Miraculous Blossom by the keychain and swung it around as I charged in and had the Pirates to bounce off and away from me. Some of those Heartless fell off the platform. When I was at a good distance away from them, I turned around and tried out a new fire spell that I was working on. "Eat this! Firaga Burst!" Of course, as usual, that spell backfired on me. Instead of shooting out like all the other fireballs, it just exploded right at my face.

'I should've known that this would happen,' I mentally said.

"What was that?" Voice questioned me.

"SHUT UP!" I snapped. "If that won't work... Triple Firaga!" I shot out three fireballs from my Keyblade and destroyed three group of Pirates. "Look, Voice. I don't care if I beat them all without the Limit Break, therefore failing this test. I still have time before the big event comes up. So I'll practice my Limit Break here until then. However, in the meantime, once I'm done with this training of yours, teach me more about the Keyblade."

"What?"

"You heard me. I made up my mind, ever since Nami told us about the condition of Vivi's home country. I will learn everything about the Keyblade. At least things that will be useful when we go up against Crocodile and his lackies. Once I know what I want to know about this weapon that can help me in this upcoming battle, I'll train like crazy." It was silent for a while. The remaining Pirate Heartless were all starting to make their last move on me. "That is why, when I'm done with this training..." A pirate jumped at me. "Teach me more, ABOUT MY KEYBLADE!" I swung Miraculous Blossom at the attacking Heartless and destroyed it. "Triple Blizzaga!" I aimed it at the rest of the Heartless and three chunks of ice came out, piercing through them all. "Is that all right with you, Voice?"

"... Very well. However, I will only teach you one other thing about the Keyblade's power. After that, I will use more powerful Heartless for you to fight against for both the Limit Break and the Shotlocks."

"Shotlocks? Is that what I'll be learning tomorrow?"

"Of course. Now then, I believe it's time for you to return to your world."

"Yeah." With that, I returned to my body.

*BACK IN REALITY*

"UUUUUUOOOOOOHHHHHHH!" was what I heard as I opened my eyes. That sound was followed by crying and panicking.

"Xion-neeeeeeeeeeee! Don't diiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" I then felt something wrapped around my stomach wound, followed by something cold and wet on parts of my body that were burnt by that magic spell that I was stupid enough to try to use.

Opening my eyes, I saw Chopper-kun wrapping bandages around my stomach and Nami and Vivi rubbing some cream on my burnt areas.

"Ah! She's awake!" the princess announced.

That caused Chopper-kun to stop and tackled me with a hug. "XION-NEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"Chopper-kun. That hurts," I managed to say.

"Sorry. But still... it was scary... seeing you suddenly bleed and cough out blood like that..."

"And that's why I told you to look after my body. After all, you're our first-class doctor, aren't you?"

"S-saying something like that isn't going to make me happy, you bastard~!" Or did it?

"But you know, Chopper wasn't kidding Xion," Nami said. "Just what were you doing in that Dive to the Heart? I know it's training, but what kind of training?"

"Let's just say, I hope Chopper's medical supplies will last on our way to Arabasta and leave it at that," I replied.

'The Limit Break and the Shotlocks... I'm not yet sure about the Shotlocks, seeing that Voice didn't teach me what it is yet. However, for the Limit Break, just what do I need to do to release so much power? Similiar to how Luxord demonstrated.' I looked up at the sky, pondering on that thought. 'I'll think about it when we're practicing on that.'
