The next day, the Straw Hat Pirates are going to Solaris for their next adventure. Of course, they would need Elly's help to go there since she knows her way around the place. Also, their ship has been taken as well. As they arrived, they find the gravity is upside down.

"What the heck?! We're going upside down!" Luffy exclaimed.

"That's the gravity of the place, Luffy," Nami replied. "If I know about this place, it would be dangerous to be in a large so I suggest we go to separate routes."

"Right, so I'll take two land dwellers with me there, while the others will be running an investigation," Elly said. "Nami, Robin, you two will come with me."

"Right!" the two pirates exclaimed while the ship is floating through a giant bubble is leaving the rest of the crew.

"I'd say the gravity of the situation is quite a twist," Robin said with a smile.

They went into some platform and knowing that going into tubes is one way to travel around the city. In fact, Nami went there before when she was kid.

"This is a great way to travel into this city, and I studied this subject," the archeologist stated.

"Since when did you study this place, Robin? I know of it when I traveled there as a kid," Nami asked.

"About two years ago..." was the reply.

The three women witnessed a slave citizen being grabbed by a security drone and dropped off to the edge of Solaris.

"We're in the 'Solaris 3rd Class F Block'. There's around 20 blocks each with land dwellers living in them. We Solarians are privy to all personal info... Everyone's DNA structure is inscribed on a molecular level. And even their class... You know what these citizens are called?" Elly explained.

"Worker Bees," her redhead friend replied.

"It came from the shape of their housing blocks. These people provide the manual labor vital to the support of Solaris' core. I took a field trip here once long ago. I remember thinking that their lives had nothing to do with me. I never thought I would end up here like this."

"Well, studying this place is quite interesting on my watch," Robin smiled.

"If we're going to explore, I have this 2nd class citizen permit. With this, we can move freely without arousing suspicion. Let's go."

With a guarding on the way to the entrance, it's not good.

"Watch this, you two," Robin stated as she crossed her arms with an 'X' shape on her chest. Two arms appeared from behind the guard and push him down to the edge of the city.

"Whoa, I'm impressed," Elly looks amazed by this. "How did she do this?"

"She ate a Devil Fruit known as the Hana Hana no Mi," Nami replied. "Devil Fruits will give anyone powers if they eat it."

As they entered the 2nd class block, she looks excited, especially that she went there before as a kid. Looking at every citizen of Solaris, they're all blond.

"Look at all these Solarians. They're all blond, but not you, Elly," Robin commented.

"At least we both have the same hair color," Nami muttered. "Can you believe this place is amazing, Robin?"

"Yes, I can believe it, Nami. I studied about it a lot."

They travel their way to another level of the city.

"This is the 1st Class citizen level. This is where the Solaris people called Gazel live. Follow me," Elly explained, as she leads the two women to some big house. "This is my home."

"Well, I've been there before," Nami stated, thinking back of this childhood memory.

As the three entered, two blond citizens, a man and a woman, noticed them.

"Mother, Father..." Elly stated.

"Elly! You're back home!" her parents cried as they hug her. The two let of the hug as they saw her childhood friend.

"Hello there, Mr. and Mrs. Van Houten!" Nami greeted, waving her hand to them.

"Nami... how you've grown up. Please, just call us our by our first names, Erich and Medina. After all, you're a good friend to the family and to my daughter, despite the fact you're a land dweller," Erich stated.

"Okay then..."

"Who's this?" Medina asked, turning to Robin.

"My name is Nico Robin, but call me Robin. I'm a good friend of Nami's," the black-haired woman replied.

The five walk their way to the living room as they discuss something.

"So you're not going to turn me in to the Solarian authorities?" Nami asked.

"No, of course not. Like I said, you're a good friend to the family and to my daughter, despite the fact you're a land dweller," Erich replied, and this puts Nami in relief. Then he pulls out a wanted poster of her that has a bounty on her for 16,000,000 berries. "Besides, you've made quite a good reputation."

"To tell you the truth, Erich, I'm not expected to be wanted. I thought this picture of me is supposed to be for a newspaper, but I was wrong. Having a bounty stinks, but that picture of me looks cute."

"Yeah, it is cute on you, Nami! Especially that pose!" Medina exclaimed happily on the poster.

"Well, thank you for the complement, Medina," Nami muttered.

"Anyway, why don't you three go to Elly's room while I prepare lunch for you three to eat."

In Elly's room...

"I must say it's great to stay here, but I feel bored," Robin muttered at the surroundings of her room. It's almost as if there's nothing to do there.

"Good thing Elly and I have a secret passage here in case something like this occurs," Nami pulls out a painting to show an open passage. As she opens it, there are a lot of creativity items there like books, magazines, and games to use.

"Well, that's a lot of items you two got there."

"While waiting, why don't we do some creativity around here."
