Zoro and I make our way to the kitchen, where the rest of the Straw-hat crew is starting to eat. I sit right next to Luffy. He gives me a glance through his meat, and wordlessly slides the plate full of veggies over.

This has been our deal for the past two times I've been here. I shove over all of my meat that has been generously heaped up by Sanji and dig into the plate of vegetables. Training takes a lot of energy.

"Good morning everyone."

I say politely between bites.

"Good morning Rose."

Everyone replied back. I feel a bony nudge and turn slightly to see Brook.

"Did you sleep well Rose-san?"

I smile at him, remembering what he did the night before in helping my insomnia.

"Well, thank you, and not just for asking."

He just nodded and moved to the other end of the table. I smiled and continued to eat. I glance around; they all look too happy. Did they forget what day it is? Jinbe is nowhere to be seen, but I ask just in case.

"Hey Usopp, where is Jinbe?"

Usopp grinned.

"Still resting from yesterday."

I glanced around again and murmured quietly.

"You guys do know today is my last day right?"

I don't want to ruin the joyous mood, but they might as well remember now instead of when I am trying to leave.

Everyone froze. Luffy reacted first.

"You are staying this time."

I sigh, leaning on my hand with my elbow propped up against the table.

"Doesn't work like that, you know. I can't help it. I'm just reminding you so when I do go, you guys don't freak out."

Everyone looks so glum now. I didn't mean for this to happen. I sigh.

"Come on guys, don't let my last day be all gloom and doom. I've done that enough that I can tell you it isn't fun."

I can tell that the cheering up is completely faked but they all put on smiles for me. At least they aren't so morbid anymore, but I can soon make them forget.

"Chopper, can you check my bandages after breakfast?"

Chopper took one look at me and shrieked.

"Rose, what on earth?"

I leaned back away from the furious doctor.

"What? What did I do?"

I look down and find the source of Chopper's anger. My bandages are practically falling off of my arms and legs. I had ignored them during my training with Zoro, so they had basically come apart. Oops.

"You were training?"

I retreat slightly.

"I'm sorry Chopper. I didn't mean to."

Chopper examined my injuries.

"You could have hurt yourself even worse. You are just like Zoro."

I grin. That is twice this trip that I have been compared to the swordsman. Does that mean I am getting stronger? I sure hope so. Chopper turned to Zoro.

"What do you think you are doing corrupting Rose like that?"

Zoro just shrugged. I nudge him and whisper.

"Sorry. That's twice now you've gotten yelled at because of me."

Zoro smirks.

"I'm used to it."

I grin back at him. Robin chuckled.

"Chopper, Rose is fine. You know she has a wonderful doctor to take care of her."

Chopper immediately relaxed, waving his arms.

"You are a jerk Robin. That doesn't make me happy at all."

I smiled fondly, and then a thought occurred to me.

"Franky, Usopp, I need to talk to you both about something."

Franky and Usopp both looked a little concerned.

"What is it Rose-sis?"

"Do you need help from the great Usopp-sama?"

I wink.

"I will tell you later, after Chopper finishes with me."

Ok, so I have already got plans for Chopper, Usopp, and Franky, while already doing something with Zoro. I need to do stuff with Jinbe, Robin, Nami, Brook, Luffy, and Sanji. Sounds like a full day.

I quickly finish my breakfast as Chopper drags me off to his office. He sits me down on the bed. I decide not to protest and let him do his thing. My injuries are starting to flare up anyway, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

He takes off all of the previous bandages that were stained with blood and sweat. He rifles through his cabinets, pulling out several different herbs and leaves I had no idea what they were. I slide over carefully, observing him as he crushed the herbs into a pedestal.

"What's that Chopper?"

He smiled kindly at me, his anger forgotten.

"I'm making an ointment that will help with the pain and the healing process."

I smile; both of those I need desperately.

"How long will it take for them to heal?"

Chopper shrugged, adding some water into the mix to make it a liquid.

"About four days or so."

I raise my eyebrows. That's really good, considering the gashes I have.

"You really are an amazing doctor."

Chopper blushed.

"No I'm not you jerk."

Laughing, I leaned back, looking at my wounds. They are scabbed over, red around the edges, but are slightly smaller then what they were yesterday. I guess people heal faster in One Piece then in our world.

Chopper rubbed the salve on my injuries and immediate soothing relief spread throughout my body. I released a sigh as Chopper put up his herbs.

"Is that better?"

I nod in affirmation.

"Yes, much better."

Chopper bandaged me quickly.

"All right, no more training until you heal."

I salute, with a thankfully not painful hand.

"Aye aye Chopper."

He turned back to his medical notes and texts, and I decided I should go talk to Usopp and Franky now.

I made my way across the deck. Robin was sitting by the mast, reading a book. One of her hands appeared out of nowhere, poking me in the shoulder. I look over at her. She has put down the book and lowered her sunglasses.

"What is it Robin?"

She smiles at me.

"Just checking to make sure you aren't in a full body cast from our doctor."

I shook my head.

"Nope, I am perfectly fine."

She smiles and picks up her book.

"Good, are you going to Franky and Usopp now?"

I nod.

"That's it. I will see you later."

She nodded and was soon immersed into her book again. I walked through the galley to the ladder to the lower decks, but stopped, turning back. Jinbe is sitting at the table and Sanji was setting a plate in front of him. Smiling, I called cheerily.

"Good morning Jinbe."

The fishman looked up and smiled back.

"Good morning Rose."

Sanji spun, almost flinging the spatula he is holding into the refrigerator.

"Oh good morning Rose-chan."

I waved to Sanji, not trusting words that might make him break out into a nosebleed. I simply walk down to Franky and Usopp's workshops.

They are both there surprisingly. They turn as I enter.

"Ah, Rose-sis."

"What did you want to talk about?"

I sit down, crossing my legs.

"I want to commission both of you for something. Both of you are inventors/builders and I want you to make something for me."

Franky and Usopp glanced at each other.

"What?"

I smile.

"A weapon."

They both grinned at the concept.

"Is there anything specific you want Rose sis?"

I nod.

"Zoro says I am an adapter, someone that can use any weapon. Can you make a combination of a sword, a quarterstaff, and a gun? Any other weapons that could make it still practical and not gaudy would be great too. Do you think you guys can do it?"

Usopp smiled.

"So you want a special weapon like Nami?"

I grin.

"Exactly."

Franky thudded his forearms together.

"Super! We got it Rose-sis. We will have it ready by the time you return."

I nod, smiling. I know I might not return, but that isn't the point. If I do, I can fight with the Straw-hats no problem.

"Thank you guys, you are the best."

Usopp stood up, walking over to the door.

"Well, I have to go check on my plants. I will be back soon to start the blueprints."

He climbed up the ladder and soon disappeared into the upper levels of the ship. I sit down again, looking at Franky.

"I want to watch you build something."

Franky chuckled, raising his hammer.

"All right, I guess you can only because you are leaving today."

I grin.

"You are so private Franky, as bad as Zoro is."

Franky just gestured into his workshop.

"Come on in Rose sis into my super workshop."

I walked in and I couldn't help but gawk. There were half finished inventions that I had no idea what they were strewn everywhere. I see a spare seat, and I sit on the edge, watching Fraky eagerly.

He started on one project that looked like a cannon. He was like Sanji, spinning around the metal and beating it into shape, an expert at his craft. He is so gentle, with the tiniest detail, but also strong enough to dent the metal without difficulty.

I have nostalgic memories bubble out from when I was little and my own father had built a treehouse for my siblings and me. It was as fun to watch him as it was getting to play in the treehouse.

It was about ten minutes later when he stepped back, measuring with his fingers the cannon.

"What is that Franky?"

I knew what it was, but I'm pretty sure Franky would make something super cool. The cyborg didn't spare me a glance as he replied.

"A cannon that has a scope to improve accuracy. It is lighter so it can be wheeled around the ship, and has enough power to take out a battleship. It's powered by cola of course, and shoots a beam like coup de-burst."

I smiled.

"As I predicted, super!"

Franky just grinned.

"Can you hand me that container?"

I tossed the bottle to him that was filled with cola. He stuffed it in the cannon and sighed.

"That's one done."

Wow, he works super fast. How could he have finished a project like that in such a small amount of time? He really is amazing.

"You are super super Franky bro."

He laughs.

"Thanks Rose sis."

I smile at him.

"Anything you need help with?"

Franky shook his head.

"No, not today. The next time you come though, I will have a special project for both of us to work on."

That sounds absolutely awesome! Me work with Franky on something? I wink.

"As long as it is super cool and a weapon, I will be happy."

Franky clapped me on the back, and almost flattened me with it.

"All right Rose-sis. I will make some awesome plans."

I grin.

"All right Franky, I will see you later. Today is a busy day."

Franky nodded his consent as he turns toward his work desk. I see him pick up a blueprint as I climb the ladder to the deck. Now, I know my swordsmanship needs a little work, but I bet my marksmanship could use some training too, and I know just the sniper to talk to.
