I'm back after a while and guess what!? I updated the last chapter on my birthday and forgot to say it was my birthday!~

Yeah. . . . I'm not smart at times and I had a headache too so that didn't help, but anyway! Here's the chapter where I have an announcement for y'all at the end! I hope you enjoy and One Piece does not belong to me okay? Okay!`

Last time on The Cat the Fish and the Flames:

"Where is she anyway?' Sabo said. "Thatch said she was at the mast," Anne said grabbing the other glass. "C'mon now let's go," she said dragging him along. 'Why me,' he thought while he was being dragged. They made it to the mast and saw a blanket and two notes. "Anne, where's Luffy?" Sabo asked looking at the stuff in anger and worry. "I don't know," she whispered. . . .

"What do you mean 'I don't know'," he yelled. "She was here! Honestly!" she said pointing to the stuff. "Get everyone here. And I mean everyone," Sabo hissed at her. She gulped and nodded before running off to get everyone there. "Marco, Thatch!" she screamed running into the kitchen.

"What's got you all hyper," Marco said ruffling her hair. "Now's not the time! Luffy's missing!" she said pulling away from the touch. "No she's not. She at the mast, sleeping," Thatch said. "No she's not! Me 'n Sabo just checked; she's gone!" she exclaimed. "Thatch I think she's serious," Marco said looking at him worriedly. "I'll get the rest of the commanders, you go get Oyaji," he said.

Marco nodded and they left the room. "Find Sabo while you're at it!" Anne called out to him. "Okay!" his voice echoed. "We have to hurry! Lu can't go this far away from us! We promise someone she wouldn't leave her until she was older!" Anne said pulling Marco to Whitebeard's room. "What do you mean you promised someone?' he asked. Marco scooped Anne in his arms and he started running to the room. "Simple as that," she said when they entered the room. "Pops! Wake up! It's an emergency!" Anne yelled. A snot bubble popped and he looked up at them. "What's wrong?" he asked looking at the worried duo. "Luffy left the boat and she not suppose to. Anne and Sabo know why but they won't tell," Marco said. "There's two notes at the mast by the way," Anne muttered looking away while pouting. Whitebeard got off his bead and walked up to the two. "Let's go see what these letter says then," he said and they left the room.

They left the room and went to the mast where everyone was. "What does the letters say?" Sarah said looking at them. "Sabo you read one, I'll read the other, okay?" Anne said. He nodded and picked up one. "Who's reading first?" Namur asked. Everyone pointed to Sabo who now was hissing at everyone and had tiger ears and a tail. "Sabo!" Anne yelled at him. He looked at her and calmed down. "Sorry about that. Okay:

Dear Whitebeard Pirates,

Hey It's me Shanks!"

A chorus of groans was heard after the second line.

"Don't groan at me that's rude! Anyway, that was a fun party you guys threw!

I should sneak on more often! Tell Luffy I said thanks for letting me on the boat and she can keep my hat for now.

She has to fulfill her promise and become the Pirate King before she can give it back to me.

Oh and that bet that you had Anne and Sabo; you guys totally lost! You should have seen Luffy dancing! Who taught her that?!

Well most of you should start remembering what happened if you didn't drink too much.

Thanks for letting me on,

Akagami Shanks~"

"Who let Shanks on without any of us realizing it?" Vista asked. "Ask Luffy that. She used her powers, not mine. Anyway, it's my turn!" Anne said:

"Dear Papa and everyone else,

Sorry I left! It's just that I had this strong urge to go sightseeing, you see!

I also got Shanks' hat! Haha! Take that Anne! I got a hat before you!

I'm really sorry for leaving and only leaving a note and a blanket but that doesn't matter!

Now you guys are probably wondering about me and my 'special abilities' but I will tell you about them when we meet at Sabondy!

I sorta know where it is, so don't worry! And Anne and Sabo he said it was okay as long as I don't use all of my powers! I'll just be a mermaid for a while, okay.

Don't read the last part out loud!

I'm not telling you where I decided to go because I have a good feeling that Anne and Sabo will try to find me that's why I took Sarah's Den-Den Mushi!

I'm sorry Sarah but I need it to keep in touch. I'll treat it like my baby and won't let anything happen to her, promise!

Bye everyone and see you at Sabondy,

Monkey D. Luffy~"

"So what do we do about her?" Kingdrew asked. "Tail her, duh!" Anne said. "How?" Haruta asked. "That's classified information," Sabo said. "And What did she mean she's going say as a mermaid for a while?" Izo asked. "Just ask her okay! She told us not to tell so we won't!" Anne yelled startling all of them. "Well then everyone, I think we had enough fun. Let's start are daily routines," Whitebeard said and the crowd dispersed. "We are going to find her right?" Anne whispered to Sabo. "Of course! We just have to do it when everyone's not paying attention."
