Looks like my cliffhanger medicine isn't working very well. Oh well, looks like you have to endure it. By the way, read the other two bravery's first if you haven't.

I choked slightly, my eyes wide. Jinbe? Outside of the Straw-hat pirates, there are a few characters I also fell in love with. Jinbe, Marco, Whitebeard, Shanks, Ace, Garp, and Mihawk are mostly the people that I adore. Jinbe is at the top of the list, not only because he is a strong fighter, but his loyalty to people he cares about is something I deeply admire.

"Jinbe? What did he do? Why is he there?"

Nami fiddled with her climatact.

"He was trying to fight the Big Mam pirates at Fishman Island, but the marines came and arrested him. He is going to be executed for what he did in the war."

I bite my lip. That's stupid. That war was ancient history. Well, not ancient history, as I glance at Luffy's chest where the x shaped scar stands out.

I feel someone's eyes on me and without even thinking I turn to look at Zoro. He is looking at me with an intense gaze, asking me something. I don't flinch as I stare back, trying to understand what he is asking. Oh.

Are you ready for this?

Now I feel all of their eyes on me. They all expect an answer. Am I ready for Impel Down? Zoro knows the insecurities I have about myself, about how I can barely keep up with the strong pace of the Straw-hats.

Then again, I was not going to spend three days on this ship and just wait for them to come back. They would need my help whether they like it or not. Luffy and I are the only ones who know about what waits for us in Impel Down. Jinbe is nakama, like I am, and I couldn't even associate with the Straw-hats if I left a nakama in prison.

I take a deep breath and without realizing it, I am grinning with anticipation. I feel no fear, only excitement. I had wanted adventure in my dull life, and the most epic adventure ever practically drops on my lap. There is no way I can pass this up.

"When do we get there?"

Is my answer to Zoro's question. I am more then ready for this. Zoro smirks in response and nods, appreciating and completely predicting my answer. Sanji spins around with hearts dancing in his eyes.

"Oh Rose-swan, how lovely you are to brave the dangers of the most infamous prison in the world."

Luffy grins at my answer.

"Haha, I knew she would help."

Nami checks her logpose on her wrist.

"We should be arriving within the hour."

She points over my shoulder and I see it, towering out of the horizon like a sick omen. I bite my lip. Not much time to prepare. I turn my strategy part of my brain on.

"Ok, are we going in all out, or is there a slight plan to our actions?"

Robin smiled gently at me.

"Do you have a plan Rose?"

Chopper was checking his medicine bag, making sure there was enough bandages and medicine for any injuries we might have.

"Rose always has a plan."

I chuckle.

"Thanks for the confidence."

Brook was checking his cane sword and his violin.

"What do you suggest Rose-san? Your plans haven't failed before."

I take a deep breath, thinking. Either this is going to work, or this plan I was coming up with would be the death of us.

"Well, I was thinking divide and conquer."

Franky slammed his massive fists together.

"What do you mean Rose-sis?"

I glance at all of them, then at Luffy.

"Two groups. One will be Luffy, and the other will be the rest of us."

The crew glances around and I can tell they weren't sure of this idea. I had to explain.

"Look, Luffy will do what Luffy does best, cause a huge uproar and chaos. While he is doing that, we could sneak in almost unnoticed."

Robin caught onto my scheme.

"A diversion."

I point to her.

"Exactly. With split forces it causes more confusion and makes the enemy make hasty decisions Luffy will pull unneeded guards away from us, as well as Magellan."

Luffy frowns. Everyone else does too. I hear the slight shaking in Usopp's voice as he asks.

"Who is Magellan?"

I answer simply.

"I will tell you later."

I could just tell them when the time is right. I smile at Luffy.

"You will beat him this time. I guarantee it."

Luffy looks unsure for a second longer before he grins. I don't doubt Luffy will win this time. Ivankov recreated him to be immune to any poison attacks, and he now is a master of haki. Luffy will win.

"Can you take care of that Luffy?"

Luffy nods.

"Yeah, I got it."

Sanji lit a cigerette.

"Wait, how are we supposed to find our way through Impel Down when Luffy was supposed to be our guide? We don't even know where Jinbe will be."

I blinked and replied casually.

"Jinbe will be on the sixth level. I can guide you there."

Everyone stared at me, only Zoro looked unsurprised. I squirmed a little under their scrutinizing gaze.

"What?"

Nami pointed to me in disbelief.

"You…know your way around Impel Down."

I shrugged.

"Yeah, a little."

Sanji clenched his fist, his eyes bursting into flame.

"Rose-swan has been arrested? When I find the guy who did it I am stomping him into oblivion."

I hold up my hands. This wasn't the reaction I was expecting.

"No guys I wasn't arrested. I was with Luffy when he broke in last time."

Again, silence reigned on the ship. Luffy looked incredibly confused.

"No you weren't, I would have remembered."

I face palm myself. Explaining television to these guys would be like explaining it to Galileo. So I decide to tell them the very incredibly simple censored version.

"I have kind of been with you all through all of your adventures. Haven't you ever wondered how I know most of your adventures and I keep using the logbook as my excuse?"

Everyone was silent again, and I practically saw the wheels turning in their brains as they remembered me asking and giving information about Z, the World Nobles, and accidently not censoring my info. Robin's eyes were light with the knowledge. She had known in my last visit that I wasn't normal and now I had explained my weirdness. Usopp inquired.

"So what do you know about us?"

I close my eyes. I was supposed to tell basically all of One Piece to them? Wow, this could take a while, not to mention I don't know how they would react. I pointed to Zoro.

"I know what Wado Ichimonji means to you, and I know the promise you made to her."

Zoro stiffened and I saw his one eye focus intensely on me. Feeling as if I discovered something private, I moved on.

"Luffy, I know about you and Ace on Mount Corvo, and I have been with you since you set out on your adventure from Fusha village."

Luffy had a faraway look in his eyes, as if he were remembering everything. I flinched. I guess I should just explain it all in one go.

"I know what Arlong did to Nami, I know about why Sanji has to give food to people who are starving and hates wasting food. I know about Syrup Village Usopp. Robin, I saw Ohara destroyed by the buster call and how everyone has betrayed you. Franky I saw your connection to Iceburg and Tom. Chopper, I know about how you wanted to be a doctor, and the pirate flag, and how the island hated you. Brook, I know what happened to you in the Florian triangle, and how you are connected to Laboon. I was with you when you challenged Buggy the clown, Smoker at Loguetown, entered the Grand Line, beat Crocodile, beat Eneru, beat CP9, beat Moria. I followed Luffy through Impel Down, and through Marineford. I followed you to Fishman Island, and to Punk Hazard. I am currently catching up on how you will beat Doflamingo at Dressrosa. That's all I know about you all."

I take a deep breath and I realize that the entire crew is silent. I bite my lip. I didn't mean to cause such strife. I knew this would happen though, the first day I came here. I knew I would have to explain my stalkerness eventually. Zoro is the first to speak up, turning away from me.

"So you know all about Impel Down?"

I nod, wondering what he could be getting at.

"Yes, I know what Luffy knows at least."

He turns back around and I am surprised to see him smiling.

"Then your knowledge will help us, won't it?"

I feel the ghost of a relieved smile touch my lips.

"Wait, you mean you aren't mad?"

Robin wrapped her arm around my shoulder warmly.

"No, of course not Rose. Knowledge is power remember?"

Luffy greeted me with a smile.

"No wonder you fit in with us so well. You knew all about us."

Chopper nodded.

"Yeah Rose, I'm glad you know about us."

Nami glanced over my shoulder to Impel Down again before responding.

"Your information of this world has gotten us out of a lot of problems. We can't complain about that."

I relaxed. Once again, they had accepted me for my flaws. Man, I love these guys. I turn, facing Impel Down, hiding my relieved face.

"Well I suppose we should prepare for this raid then."

I heard everyone dispersing to check weapons, supplies, etc. I stayed by the railing with my eyes closed. I mentally prepare myself.

Impel Down is no walk in the park. It was traumatizing and hard enough the first time, and now I get to experience it first hand. Who knows what could happen, and I have to accept the fact that I have to focus on Jinbe and not try to save everyone else. I would need all my focus, all my strength, and all my bravery if I didn't want to let my nakama down.

I felt a huge hand on my thin shoulder. I don't turn as I smile.

"Hey Zoro."

He whispers in my ear.

"You sure you are ready?"

I nod.

"I am going to get Jinbe out. We don't abandon Nakama."

I feel his smile as he breathes in my ear.

"I will protect you with all of my swords Rose."

I smile and turn finally. Zoro is standing there, his hands already on his swords. I glance at them, before I glance back at his one eye.

"I will protect you with everything I have."

Protection is not a one-way street, but a two-way. Zoro protects me and I protect Zoro. The Straw-hats protect me and I protect them. That's how it works.

Zoro's grin is wide and bright as he claps his hand on my back, almost like he is proud of me. Then he goes off to a corner, getting out his swords to sharpen. I straighten and head to the girls quarters. I need to prepare myself too. If I didn't get this right, the Straw-hats will be executed this time.
