"Oi Nami! How long is this fog gonna be here?" Luffy shouted from where he is sitting- namely at the Sunny Go's figurehead. He was staring hardly in the horizon with his hand slanted against his eyebrows. "Mouuu I can't see anything in this damn fog!"

Nami who was looking at the log pose sighted. She has been counting, and this is the twelfth time Luffy asked the same question. She walked to the entrance of the aquarium bar as she answered " I told you, we just continue straight ahead and it'll be gone soon. I'll be here inside. Call me when the waves changes." She knows its wrong to count on Luffy with such things, that's why she was called to be the navigator. But it wouldn't hurt just to leave for a few minutes right? She still made sure that nothing will go wrong while she's gone. But since they are in Grand Line, unexpected is bound to happen.

"Ehhhhh but I'm so hungry!" Luffy watched Nami's back disappear in the door. He slumped on the figurehead, staring at nothingness. They just ate lunch a few hours ago but after that, Usopp suddenly have an idea to play hide and seek in Thousand Sunny. After all, they just got this new ship and what's more exciting than to explore it thoroughly by playing hide and seek? So they played and played until Luffy stomach started to grumble. He asked Sanji to cook some food but Sanji told him to wait for dinner because he already divided the food stocks to last them for at least 3 weeks. Luffy was about to earnestly asked Sanji again but hesitated when Sanji blackmailed him telling Luffy that he won't cook roasted meat for dinner if Luffy wouldn't stop. That is why Luffy resented into looking for an island or fishing once they get out of this stupid fog.

All the meat thinking almost led Luffy to the entrance of his dreamland, where supposedly a big feast awaits him- when suddenly the ship roughly moved as if it hit something really hard in the side. Sanji came out of the galley screaming, "Nami swaaaan~! Robin chwaaaaan~! Are the two of you okay?" His head searches for Nami and Robin in the wide deck of the ship. Zoro, who woke up because of Sanji's voice rather than the ship's movement complained, "You're so noisy shitty eyebrow." He tries to find his sleep when Sanji's voice came loud on his ear saying, "Whats up with you Marimo head?!" Zoro's eyebrows furrowed. He opened his eyes, stood up front to Sanji's face shouting "What was that for ero cook?!" Sanji flared because of the green haired bastard's use of words answering as loud as Zoro did with "Why you…..!" Robin's voice broke the swordsman and cook's stance when she said that Thousand Sunny seemed to hit another ship.

"That figure beside us looks like a ship's stern." Robin added. Luffy turned his head in the way Robin was talking about and it gave him an idea, " I wonder if they have extra meat! I'll go and ask!" Luffy jumped down and ran across to the the other ship without second thoughts. Usopp, who came out from the men's quarter heard Luffy and said, "Wait a minute Luffy! We don't know what kind of pirates boards that ship!" Usopp tried to stop him but Luffy already jump on the other ship.

Luffy walked at what he thinks the kitchen of the ship is. The fog was starting to fade little by little as Luffy went farther. "Oiiii! anyone here?" He finally see a silhouette and shouted "Ah, you there!" He runs to the person and as the last strip of fog left his view, he stopped on his tracks.

His eyes turned big, he was speechless. He never expected that he'll see this person in the vast ocean. How long has been?

The other person that looks like she was woke up by the collision of the two ships, was rubbing her eyes. A man's voice was heard from somewhere behind, "Chiyo! Chiyo, Are you okay? Where are you?" The girl turned her head to the voice and answered "Im okay father! I'll go and check what happened."

She then noticed in her peripheral view that someone is in front of her, when she turned, she coulnt believe her eyes. Luffy who was staring back found his voice, "Ch-Chiyo, Chi-chan… You're Chi-chan right?" Chiyo kept on staring at Luffy, that face she had been dreaming every night is now in front of her. Unconsciously she lifted her hands and cupped Luffy's right cheek.

"Luffy? It's really you?" Luffy was full of glee. He smiled widely and hugged Chiyo bringing her up and swirling the both of them. Luffy wouldn't stop laughing. "It's really you! I missed you so much! Who would have thought we'll meet each other here at sea!" Chiyo hugged Luffy back, tears starting to form in her eyes. Both of them feeling the same.

Sanji lit his cigarette in his mouth as he look at the unknown ship " This doesn't looks like a pirate ship though. And it's nowhere near a marine's ship too."

Franky raises his sunglasses a little and observed the ship, "This is a Fluyt type of ship." "Fluyt? There are different kinds of ship?" Chopper asked. "Yes, Going Merry's type is caravel. One of its features is her lightweight thus it has a high-speed. While Thousand Sunny here is a brig sloop type. This can be a warship and at the same time carry a large amount of stocks. But since I made big improvements for this ship, it's a suppppeeeer ship now! " "Uwaaaahhh! Sugoii Franky!" Usopp and Chopper awed. "Hahaha I'm feeling especially supppeeerrrr this week!" "Then what for is a Fluyt?" Usopp wondered. " Fluyt has a wide hull, its made for carrying large cargos. Only few crews are needed in this type of ship." Franky answered back. "When the Pirate King died and the Golden Age started, the number of cargo ships decreased. Traders became scared traveling in the sea because of the possibility of meeting pirates. I'm honestly surprised to find one today." Robin added.

Luffy's voice broke their reverie, "Oi you guys!" Luffy was running to them and saw the he was pulling someone along with him. As he stopped in front of them, Sanji shrieked "Luffy! Who is this beautiful girl you brought here?"

After catching his breathe, Luffy stood high and proud in front of his beloved crew, "Listen you guys, this is Chiyo! She is my girlfriend. Treat her well! " Luffy said as he patted Chiyo's back while grinning to his crew.

"Girlfriend? Ehhhhhhhhhh!"

"Shishishi!"
