Thank you to everyone who reviewed the last chapter, I really appreciate it! You're all awesome!


Silence echoed around the area after Enel had asked us if we were going to choose who was going to be eliminated. Robin, Zoro, Wiper, Gan Fall, and I all stared at him blankly, not all that amused.

"Hey, you want to?" Zoro broke the silence causally, glancing at Robin.

"No, thank you," she dismissed the idea.

"Me either," he agreed.

"Not me…" Wiper added.

"I refuse as well!" Gan Fall said.

'Yeah, I'm with them. I'm not going to roll over and play dead.' My tail swished behind me, the tip of the tail was still missing all its fur much to my annoyance.

All the others turned their head towards the direction where Nami was hiding.

"W…Wait! I…" she stuttered as she stuck her head around the side of the rock.

Everyone quickly dismissed her, pulling out their weapons and pointing them at Enel whom was still riding the cloud bubble.

"You will."

"Impudence," Enel chuckled. "Yahaha! You're going to eliminate me? I wouldn't expect less from the survivors of this game. However, do you know who you are talking to? It seems that you don't understand what a God is! Yahaha, the Old Man fighting for the prosperity of Skypiea, the warrior fighting to return to his homeland, and the pirates from the Blue Sea trying to steal the gold… This world is filled with so many troubled lambs. Even the country itself has sinned greatly!"

"Instead of talking nonsense, why don't you tell me what you seek to accomplish here and where the Militia Members are being held captive!" Gan Fall challenged.

"I simply seek to return, Gan Fall," Enel said.

"Return?"

"Yes. I have a place I should be," he explained. "On the Sky Island where I was born, where people say God lives, people call it Fairy Vearth and there is a limitless amount of earth. That is the ideal world I seek! That is what I deserve to have! This God's Island… This puny piece of earth is nothing, yet you've fought for centuries to control it. Do you understand? The reason you fight is actually more philosophical. Think about it, not a cloud, but born of the sky; not a bird, but lives in the sky… This country defies all laws of nature! Earth, men, and God all have a place they belong!"

"You can't!" Gan Fall gasped.

"What do you mean, "You can't"?" I am doing what a God should. I am sending you all too where you belong, below the sky!" Enel laughed.

"What!" Wiper snarled.

'He's going to kick everyone off the island…?' I mumbled in confusion. 'How does he plan to do that?'

"You want to destroy this country!" Gan Fall yelled in anger.

"It's the law of nature," Enel commented calmly.

"Don't think so highly of yourself, Enel!" Gan Fall responded. "'God' is nothing but a title for the leader of our country."

'So, he's not a real God?'

"That's before I became God." Enel started to pick his ear.

"THE PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD DON'T NEED A 'GOD'!" Gan Fall screamed.

"Yahahaha," Enel laughed. "Ex-God, Gan Fall, you've been worrying about your Militia, haven't you? Six years ago, they lost to my army. Your 650 followers, this morning they finished their job. Like I said earlier, right now, the only people still sanding on this island are unfortunately just the seven of us."

"You…" the Ex-God gasped.

"I didn't want to do it, but after I told them my plan…Yahaha! They all went berserk on me," Enel laughed like it was some joke.

"…Their families… On Angel Island…"

"Oh! That's right. Their families will need burials."

"YOU FIEND!" Gan Fall yelled in anger, charging at Enel with his lance at the ready.

Enel easily jumped off his ball, making it so that Gan Fall's thrust only just missed him. Enel then extend both his hand towards Gan fall, the index fingers on each pointing out.

"Ten million… Twenty million… Thirty million volts… VARI!" As Enel finished the sentence lightning sprung from both of his fingers, enveloping Gan Fall with a crackling sound.

"STRANGE KNIGHT!" Nami yelled.

"Gan Fall," Enel addressed the old man as he fell to the ground, knocked out cold. "In this world, there is a God. Me!"

"Devil Fruit!" Zoro finally realized.

"Most likely the Goro Goro Fruit," Robin spoke up. "It's one of the invincible powers. The power of lightning."

"Lightning?" Nami gasped in fear. "Impossible. How can we win against that!"

'We'll find a way! We have to if we are going to stop him!'

"Perfect, now is predicted time. There are exactly six survivors, Yahaha! Good job surviving this far! Now I shall travel to the Fairy Vearth and all of you shall come with me!"

"What did you say?" questioned Zoro.

'Can I pass on that offer? My mother taught me never to take rides with stranger.' This guy was no joke, and even if I was pissed at him, attacking him straight up would probably get me killed. I was nervous, and I had no idea what to do. Maybe if Zoro, Robin, Wiper, and I attack him together…

"Once we are there, I will create a new God's land. Only those chosen by me may live there," Enel explained.

"What is he thinking?" mumbled Nami from behind the rock.

"Since they weren't able to survive such a short game, my precious followers are unfit to live in that country!" Enel decided.

"What if we refuse?" Robin asked simply.

"Refuse?" Enel seemed confused. "Why? I've already decided! If you stay here, you will fall into the abyss with this country."

"True, with your power, it is possible," Robin admitted. "However, if you destroy this country, that thing you want will also fall, no?"

"You mean the Golden Bell?" Enel asked. "Yahahaha! Don't worry, judging from your earlier adventures, I can think of only one place where the bell could be."

"Ah!" Robin gasped.

"Gold?" Nami's head popped around the corner.

"Golden bell…" Wiper mumbled.

"Looks like you're thinking what I am thinking. You seem surprised! Did you think you could trick me and find it yourself? You underestimate me!" Enel pointed his sparking finger at Robin. "How shallow."

"ROBIN!" Nami screamed in the background.

'ROBIN!' I panicked, jumping in her direction.

"I don't like shallow women." A blast of lightning shot out of Enel finger and engulfed Robin before I had to chance to reach her. I skidded to a stop a meter away from her, staring in horror as the lighting disappeared as quickly as it came.

Just as she was falling, Zoro appeared and garbed her while keeping a hold of his swords. I stared at Robin in horror, rage starting to fill my body. She didn't even attack him, and yet he still hurt her like that! It was the same with that Laki woman too!

Zoro slowly turned his head around to glare at Enel, placing Robin gently on the ground as he hissed, "She's a woman…"

"Yes, I can see that," Enel answered.

Zoro straightened himself back up and spun around, charging at Enel without hesitation. Enel spun his staff around, blocking Zoro's swords. I placed myself protectively in front of Robin's unconscious form, snarling at the so called 'God'.

"Hm, nice strong arms," Enel complemented Zoro.

"YOU REALLY PISS ME OFF, ASSHOLE!" Zoro yelled.

Using his staff, Enel pushed himself off of the ground and up into the air as he avoided another of Zoro's swipes. Wiper positioned his cannon on his shoulder and took aim at the airborne Enel.

"Burn Bazooka!" Wiper yelled out as he fired at Enel.

"Yahaha!" Enel laughed. "Kari!"

A bright flash exploded around Enel, blinding everyone who was looking in his direction. I flinched, closing my eyes. I couldn't tell what was holding me back from the fighting. Enel pissed me off so badly that I wanted to take a chunk of flesh out of his ass. But, at the same time I was also slightly scared. Both Wiper and Zoro weren't even scratching him. What was I meant to do?

When our vision cleared again, we saw Enel perching on a half destroyed wall, completely unharmed.

"Damn you," Wiper hissed. "Destroying the rocket in an instant…"

"You still don't get it?" Enel sighed. "The pathetic trickle of power… That is all people like you can do against me… Tsk, tsk. I was simply inventing you to come to endless earth. Why did you suddenly start attacking me?"

'Why? Why! You asshole! YOU ATTACKED ROBIN!' I snarled, pulling back my lips to flash my teeth at the arrogant man.

"Who were you trying to invite?" Zoro snorted before charging at Enel once more. "Because I have no interest in that dream world of yours!"

"No! Zoro! You can't beat him!" Nami screamed in the background.

"It seems you need to be taught a lesson on what God is!" Zoro's sword sliced straight through Enel's stomach but there was no blood, only lightning crackling around the cut. "No matter how hard you try, you can't win! I will use my overwhelming strength and teach you what 'Hopelessness' feels like."

'I-I should help!' Part of me wanted to help and the other part of me refused to move. The guy we were facing was really dangerous, not like anyone we'd encountered so far. Before now, I would have been able to bite or cut my opponents, but physical attacks didn't work on this guy. I could use nothing but physical attack… 'I need to help Zoro but my feet won't move… Why won't they move…'

"Ah!" Zoro yelped as Enel's stomach patched itself back together and he grabbed onto both of Zoro's swords.

"Losing all hope and dying are two strangely similar things," Enel said as he used the swords light lightning rods, sending lightning straight down them and into Zoro.

"WAAAAH!" Zoro screamed in pain.

'ZORO!' My body was shaking by this point. 'Not Zoro too…'

"ZORO!" Nami screamed as well.

"For mortal men, death is the most terrifying thing!" Enel lectured as Zoro fell to the ground. Enel then proceed to slam his foot down on Zoro's head.

'Zoro! Dammit body, move! Why won't you move! Z-Zoro's in trouble… I need to help!' I hadn't noticed it before now but my breath was coming in short gasps.

"It can't be helped, men beg when terrified. It's in their nature," Enel continued running his mouth off.

'Have I really gotten this weak that my body won't move when I meet someone stronger than myself…' I let out a sour and vindictive laugh in my head. 'Pathetic.'

Wiper dropped his cannon and jumped at Enel, wrapping his legs around Enel's waist so that he was latched on tightly. Wiper then placed one of his palms on Enel's chest, using his other hand to hold that arm up.

"What are you doing?" Enel asked calmly. "Committing suicide?"

"Do you know what seastone is, Enel?" Wiper replied.

'Seastone?' I gasped. 'He has some?'

"I added some to my shooter, and it's draining your Devil's Fruit powers," Wiper continued.

Suddenly Zoro pulled himself out from under Enel and sprung backwards, landing in a crouched position.

'Zoro!' I took a shaky step forward in relief. 'You're okay!'

"My strength is being… Drained." Enel fell to his knees.

"EAT THIS!" Wiper barked.

"No! You're trying to use 'Reject'?" Enel began to seem nervous. "Your body can't take it! Don't you want to live and own land?"

"Shut up! I just want to die and I'm taking you with me!" Wiper yelled.

"Don't do it!" Enel panicked.

"REJECT!" Wiper's hand created an impact in Enel's chest, blood shooting from his mouth. The whole area then exploded in a cloud of dust, blocking our vision of what was going on. When the dust did clear, Enel was laying on the ground with Wiper standing above him, his arm hanging limply by his side.

"Can it be…" Nami muttered. "Did he beat him?"

"Hahaha," Wiper laughed dryly.

"Robin!" Nami ran out from behind the rubble and knelt near Robin.

"Hey, Strange Knight," Zoro addressed the old man who was also out cold.

Suddenly Enel body exploded with lightning, causing him to arch his back off the ground as sparks dance around his body. Everyone gasped at the same time and faced back towards him as the lighting stopped and he calmly stood up again.

"Did he just restart his heart?" Nami gasped in horror.

"Mere men cannot make God feel fear, for true terror comes from God, and God alone," Enel said, wiping the blood away from the side of his mouth. "What have I been saying, just give up?"

'Give up… No. We can't. No. We won't!' I muttered.

Wiper suddenly feel to his knees in front of Enel, coughing up blood. "D..Dammit."

"Oh look," Enel teased. "You look awful, Wiper the Warrior."

"My name is…" he objected.

"Hmm?"

"Not something you can use so casually!" Wiper yelled as he started to rise to his feet again. "For I am the decent of the great warriors who fought to the death for their home 800 years ago! The warriors of Shandian. Since that day, following the dying wish of the great warrior Karugara, for 400 years, we have been searching for this place… Now I'm finally here! Out of my way, demon!"

In response Enel just spun his staff and knocked the injured warrior down to the ground yet again without mercy.

"The same trick won't work twice, Wiper. The Seastone won't help you again," Enel explained. "To fire a shot of a mortal man's suicidal attack, reject, and still be able to stand up is rather impressive. But you're still no match for me! Thirty-million volts…"

"The drum turned into a bird!" Nami gaped as one of the drums behind Enel's shoulder turned into an electric bird. It was about three times the size Enel was, and the static sound it was making rung in my ears.

"30,000,000 Volt Hino!"

The attack flew straight towards Wiper with blinding speed, and before anyone had a chance to do anything, it hit Wiper. Again, his whole body exploded into a circuit of electrical currents, his mouth opening in a silent scream of agony.

"I have to get that Seastone!" Zoro hissed, charging forward as Wiper hit the ground.

"Oh, you want one too, Swordsman of the Blue Sea?" Enel asked.

"Why not!" Zoro challenged. "Give me your best shot!"

'ZORO! YOU IDIOT!' I yelled in panic, trying to get my body moving so that I could go help him. 'You stupid bitch, move damn you, MOVE!'

"Kiten!" Enel yelled, a giant lightning dog flying out from another of his drums, roughly the same size as the bird. After seeing what the bird did Wiper, I didn't want to watch the same thing happen to Zoro.

The lightning dog smashed into Zoro, enveloping him in a ball of lightning and there was nothing he could do to stop it. His large head had finally got him in trouble.

"GUAAAAA!"

"ZORO!"

'ZORO! DAMMIT! FUCKING DAMMIT! YOU SPINELESS COWARD OR A WHORE'S SON! FUCKING MOOOOOVE!'

Zoro's body hit the ground and I had to move. No matter how badly I was shaking, no matter how scared I was, I needed to do something. Before I noticed it, I was half the distance between Enel and I, my paws flying under my body as I charged. My knife would be useless, it would only conduct electricity.

"MAMORI!" Nami screamed in background.

'YOU ASSHOLE!' I screamed, my eyes zeroed in on my target. I could hear my heart in my ears and everything seemed to flashing by me as I ran, Enel being the only thing that stayed in my sight.

"Yahaha! Even the dog is going to try and attack me," Enel laughed and pointed a finger at me. "Thirty-Million Volts…"

I feinted to the left to move out of the direct line that his finger was pointing and I changed my course. Behind me the lightning connected with the ground, rubble flying in the air as it missed me completel, much to my amusement. Maybe I could do this!

I jumped towards the wall of the ruins, my paws slapping against the old stone. I then used that as a push-off point, launching myself up and into the air in Enel's direction. I twisted around while I was in the air so that I was jumping directly at Enel, head first with my stomach angled towards the ground.

My body connected roughly with his, knocking the breath out of my lungs as my chest connected with his shoulder. It wasn't the smoothest landing I had even made, but it'd do. I lashed out, latching my teeth around the joint between his neck and shoulder, sinking my teeth in.

I didn't taste blood or flesh, instead several sparks shot out of his body and zap my muzzle and mouth.

"Useless," Enel sighed and suddenly his whole body exploded into a mess of lightning, surrounding me.

It wasn't what I expected. My whole body convulsed, all my muscles tightening as the electricity ran through my body. My vision went completely black, and the only thing I could feel was pain. There was a really loud buzzing and crackling sound that also buzzed in my head. If I could have screamed, I would have, but my chest muscles wouldn't even let me draw breath to so much as yelp.

I don't know how long that feeling lasted, it felt like a long time before the buzzing stopped, and I was swallowed by warm darkness.


I felt my ears twitched as the sound of ringing reached my ears. It sounds like a bell that was echoing over the landscape. I cracked my eyes open, blinking owlishly as I noticed all the people gathered around.

'Wait… What…' I mumbled. 'Where am I? Where is Enel? What is everyone doing here? What's that bell sound?'

I carefully rolled over onto my stomach, twitching as my muscles protested. Apparently getting fried wasn't good for a dog's health.

"HE DID IT!" Usopp cheered, throwing his arms up in the air.

"What a beautiful sound," Robin complimented it.

"Wow!" Chopper gasped, sitting up. "How nice! What's that sound?"

"I knew it…" Gan Fall started to tear up. "I knew this day would come. I knew it would…"

"…So, this is what Norland heard back then?" Sanji said.

'OH! Is that sound really that bell that Norland was talking about?' I finally started to understand what was going on. 'So Luffy must have beat Enel!'


"It's okay, I'm fine," Zoro protested, leaning casually up against a slab of rock.

"No! I have to patch you up or-" Chopper argued, flapping his arms around.

"Instead of worrying about me, you should take a look at him," Zoro said, jerking his head in Wiper's direction.

"Eh? You mean that person over there?" Chopper questioned, glancing at the unconscious man.

Chopper made his way over to Wiper, and just to be on the safe side I followed him. Chopper kneelt by Wiper's side and started to check him over and I sat down, just off to the side.

"Wow, you're right!" Chopper gasped. "He's wounded really badly!"

"Hey… Isn't he one of the raiders? Why are we helping him?" Sanji asked.

"Hm…" Zoro considered it. "I don't quite understand what he is about, but I know that he's at least an honourable warrior."

"What are you saying?" Sanji snorted. "You pity him?"

"Sort of," Zoro admitted.

"Can you help him?" Aisa asked quietly, walking up to us.

"Don't worry, he'll be okay," Chopper reassured her.

The others were talking in the background as Chopper treated Wiper, but I ignored what they were saying. I wondered if Amaya was okay. I looked around carefully but I saw nothing else except our little group.

"HEEEEEY!" a voice yelled in the background, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"AAAAH! MISS NAMI~ CONIS~" Sanji cooed happily when he saw Nami, Conis and Luffy running towards us with a large bag dragging behind them.

"I'm so glad you are all safe!" Conis burst out crying when she came to a stop in front of us. "I was so worried, but I couldn't do a thing…"

"Oh~ Conis~ Were you really that worried about me?" Sanji danced around.

"Stop acting crazy," Usopp sighed.

"Is that food? Where did you get it?" Zoro asked.

"We found the Priests' storage on our way here," Luffy said, waving to us. "There is still a lot more too~"

'I'm guessing that's what that bag is full of then,' I chuckled, smiling softly.

"How'd you get down from up there?" Usopp asked.

"I used Gomu Gomu no Fūsen," Luffy smirked, pulling the peace sign.

"Hey, Conis, where is your father?" Zoro asked.

"He… Umm... He…" Conis mumbled, a sad look coming over his face. "Tried to protect me…and Enel…"

"You mean…" Chopper gasped.

"Conis…" Sanji muttered.

"Conis…" Pajaya mumbled.

"Conis…" Luffy joined in.

'Wait…' I sweat-dropped. 'That isn't right…'

"YOU SOUNDED LIKE THE ONE WHO DIED WASN'T YOU OR SOMETHING!" everyone snapped suddenly, pointing at the Old Man who was meant to be dead.

"I'm sorry I am still alive!" he apologized.

'That's not what you are meant to say!' I grumbled.

Pajaya then proceeded to explain who he was alive while Conis cried in his lap, happy to see her father alive. I was still smiling softly, glad to see that they were still both alive. They were lovely and friendly people.

I heard the rubble crunching close to us as someone walked closer to us and thanks to my superior hearing, no one else seemed to notice. I turned my head in that direction, watching curiously as someone stepped out from behind the rubble.

'AMAYA!' I screamed so loudly that Chopper actually cried out in shock and jumped away from both me and Wiper.

Before the others knew what was going on, I was on my feet and running towards the other female. I saw Amaya smile widely when she saw me and she held her arms out, a clear invitation. Without hesitation I launched myself up into her arms, colliding with her chest as she wrapped her arms around me. She grunted a bit from the impact, and stumbled a step back, but she managed to stay on her feet.

"Hey dog!" she laughed as I wiggled happily in her arms.

'You're okay! I'm so glad!' I yipped and barked as a nuzzled the top of my head under her chin, probably sounding and looking mad to anyone who watching.

"Amaya!" Aisa called out happily, trotting up to us.

"Mamori?" I heard Nami question in the background and I looked up to see all my friend's staring oddly at me. I only just realized how odd it must have seemed to them, me being so friendly with a Shandian. They had no idea that Amaya and I helped each other out.

"My Lady, what a rare sight to see such a beauty like you in-" Sanji started to coo but Amaya cut him off by ignoring him.

"Hey there kid," Amaya greeted Aisa before looking at my friends. "Are you the Blue Sea dwellers that look after this dog?"

"Yep!" Luffy chirped.

"I see," Amaya hummed, losing her arms so that I could drop down onto the ground. She then squatted down in front of me, reaching over to pat the top of my head. "You're lucky people, this is a very brave and smart dog. And, well, she's really cute too!"

'I-I… But you helped me more than I help you!' I spluttered, getting highly embarrassed as the compliment.

"How do you know her?" Nami asked suspiciously.

"We met in the forest, she helped me kick the butts of some of God's Enforcers." Amaya stood back up, smirking. "Aisa, how is Wiper?"

"He's okay, the little Raccoon Dog is going to help to him," She smiled up at the older woman.

"I already told you that I am Reindeer, not a Raccoon Dog!" Chopper snapped in annoyance.

"It talked!" Amaya gasped, her eyes going wide.

'He does that,' I snickered to myself. 'Hey, Chopper! Can you tell Amaya here that I am very thankful for all her help!'

"Eh?" Chopper glanced curiously at me. "Okay. Mamori says, 'I am very thankful for all your help'."

"What? Mamori? The dog? She speaks to you!" Amaya looked highly confused, glancing between Chopper and I.

"Mamori isn't just a dog! She's a magic dog!" Luffy added, smiling widely.

'Luffy, not again!' I rolled my eyes. Luffy loved showing off way too much.

"…A magic dog? I mean, yeah, sure, she'd good at fighting but-"

"Mamori here is a poor unfortunate soul of a woman who has been entrapped in the form of a dog. One day I will free her and she will-" Sanji started to go on one of his rants.

"Wait! Wait! Wait! You're trying to tell me that Mamori is a human in a dog's body!" Amaya looked me up and down in a skeptical manner.


A party. Again. What is it with people and parties! I mean sure, technically we saved Skypiea, but does that really warrant a party? A 4 freaking day long party. Night and day. It probably would have kept going if everyone didn't pass out from drinking and dancing way too long after 4 days.

Amaya on the other hand really got stuck into the party. I'd never seen a woman that could drink as much as she could. She was a bottomless pit! The crazy woman tried to keep me around and partying for as long as she could. After she'd started to believe that I was human, she officially declared me as her friend. She also seemed to think it as the friend's duty to try and get me drunk.

I was not in the same mind as her, and I didn't want any alcohol. Gods knows what it does to a dog's body. Luckily, I, having lots of practice, was good at slipping away during parties and hiding. The second Amaya took her eyes off me, I went and hid somewhere quiet. It usually took her a few hours to find me again and then it started all over again. For 4 freakin days.

When the crazy woman finally fell asleep, I curled up by her side, happy things that were finally quite. Amaya, as crazy as she may be, reminded me of my friends back home. If I could even call it home now. I'd be sad to say goodbye to her when the time came.


It was time to go. Luffy called a meeting late last night and told us that we were leaving today. We wear to grab as much gold as we can, and then run. We were to leave no regrets. It was time to farewell Amaya.

I stuck close by Amaya's side all morning, following around by her side where she went. If she noticed my attached attitude, she didn't comment. I was glad for it. Amaya and I ran into Robin and the rest of the Shandians, so we joined them. It seemed they were heading back to the ruins with a large rode of gold wrapped in cloth. I fell into step with Robin, Amaya on my other side. Robin explained to me that it was from the bell and they planned to give to us as a present. I didn't miss her knowing smirk as she said it.

"Hey! Robin! Mamori! Hurry up!" Luffy yelled when he spotted up walking towards them. "We stole their gold! We need to hurry up and leave!"

'Oh Luffy…' I muttered. 'How typical of you.'

"Dimwit! Why did you blurt it out! Don't you see all those people behind them!" Sanji snapped in anger.

"This isn't good! They have a cannon!" Usopp panicked.

'Cannon?' I blinked.

"AAAAH! So many people and a huge cannon!" Chopper joined in Usopp's panic.

"Let's go back to the ship!" Luffy yelled at us as he turned around and started to run in direction of the ship. "We can't stay here much longer! Look at all of these! We're super rich now!"

"Hmm? Hey, hey! It seems that they are leaving already!" one of the Shandian's that was carrying the pole gasped.

"Wait! Hey! Stop right there!" another yelled.

"Shit! We've been found out!" Sanji spun around, ready to run as well.

"RUN AWAY!" Luffy yelled, well ahead of us.

"Wait! All of you!" the Shandian's yelled.

"Wait? Are you trying to command us!" Usopp stood in front of them.

"Yeah, tell them who we are Usopp!" Luffy cheered. They were having way too much fun with this.

"We took a gamble with our lives to reach Sky Island! We fought hard to find this Golden City! So we won't leave empty-handed! We will take all this gold as our loot!" Usopp claimed, posing.

"Robin! Mamori! Hurry up and don't caught by them!" Sanji called to us.

"Caught by us? But we're just trying to give them our thank you gift…" The Shandians were confused. "Hey! Don't you want this gold as a gift from us!"

"Haha!" Robin laughed. "It seems that they don't want it."

"EEEHHHH! BUT WHY!"

Robin didn't answer, instead she took off running towards our friends. I was right on her heels, my heart sinking at the thought of leaving Amaya, whom I had grown close to.

"RUN AWAY!" Luffy ordered again.

"PLEASE WAIT!" the Shandian's yelled.

"MAMORI!" I skidded to a stop as soon as I heard the voice yelling for me. I froze, flinching as I looked back and met the eyes of my new friend. I blinked owlishly when I saw that she was smirking at me, she wasn't sad. "Promise me! One day you'll come back here, as a human, and have a drink with me! Do you promise?"

'I promise!' I yipped. My heart lifted at the thought of seeing her again. This wasn't a sad farewell, not if we'd meet again another day.

I jumped forward, running again with my friends. I may be leaving friends behind, but it was not forever. I lifted my head up to the sky as I was running, taking a deep breath. When my lungs were filled with air, I slowly let it out as a howl that echoed eerily around the ruins.

"ARRROOOOOOOOOOO!"

Even after I had stopped, the sound still rung around us as it bounce off rocks. I almost stumbled and face-planted it when I heard another howl join mine. It wasn't a proper howl, it was an imitation.

"ARRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

I glanced back to see Amaya with her hands around her mouth, howling back at me. It was the funniest thing I'd seen in a while. No wonder we got along so well, we were both completely crazy. I joined in with her again as I ran so that we were both howling at the same time.

"ARRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O!"
