" AHHHHH ! Finally ! " Rejoices Zoro, looking at his hair using a mirror..

" You really don't understand beauty, -ebi ! " Cancer retorted, frustrated that his work was not being respected for its true value.

" I never asked you to do me this hairstyle. " Replied Zoro, happy to find his original hairstyle. " Touch my hair again and I swear that even Lucy won't be able to protect you. "

" Me, I found you well with this haircut. " Raynare retorted, with a mischievous smile.

" You looks like at a civilized man " Adds Nami.

" We will see if you will always say this words when I have cut your hair. " Zoro retorted, pulling out his sabers, while Cancer took the opportunity to leave.

" FINISHED ! " Suddenly stated Luffy, his face full of paint stains.

" Hum? Is the pirate flag ready? " Usopp asked him.

" Yes. " Rejoices Luffy, showing the flag to the others. " Here is the symbol that will represent us. "

Nevertheless, this opinion didn't seem to be endorsed by the rest of his crew.

" Huh ... a pirate flag, it must be scary, right ? " Wanted to know Zoro, looking at Luffy's awful drawing.

" Me, it scares me. " Said Nami.

" In an art gallery, this could perhaps attract people's attention and sell very expensive. " Noticed Lucy. " Anything ugly has a lot of value. "

For her part, Raynare hit her forehead, afraid that their crew would make themselves known with the pitiful design of Luffy.

" So ? " Luffy asked, with his big smile.

" Luffy ... if you want, I can take care of it. " Said Usopp, taking a brush. " If you want a beautiful flag, admire my artist's talents. "

And, in a few minutes, he drew a superb flag ... but who represented his face..

" What is that ? " Wanted to know Luffy, not happy that Usopp is trying to fool him. "That's not the drawing I asked you to draw. "

Then, after being hit on the head by Luffy and Zoro, Usopp redrawed a drawing before asking, in a slightly frustrated tone.

" And there, you like it ? "

Seeing the skull's design with a straw hat on its head, Luffy confessed.

" Wow, it is prettier than mine. "

" What do you think ? I am a painter of genius."

Then taking the flag, Luffy handed it to Raynare, before asking her.

" Can you hang it? "

Sighing at this request, the fallen angel nevertheless finally complied and flew away with the flag in hand. Then approaching the top of the mast, she tied the ends of the flag around and went down when it was perfectly attached.

And, hit by a gust of wind,, the flag rose, and allowed everyone to see its symbol.

" Awesome ! " Rejoices Luffy, seeing this. " Good, it only remains to paint it on the mainsail. "

" Let the artist do it. "

Looking at his work, Usopp began to smile while his drawing was flawless.

" Impeccable ! " He assured.

" Do you have other hidden talents, Usopp ? " Asked Lucy. " I mean, apart from lying. "

" Hum? Well, I'm a painter ... but also a good sniper! I have always been gifted with guns ! And I also love to make lots of gadgets. "

" Really ? It could still be used. "

Then standing up, to look at the members of the crew, Usopp wanted to know.

" In fact, now that I think about it, there is no cook, doctor or carpenter in our crew ? "

" No. " Confessed Zoro. " Or maybe Lucy's spirits are capable of doing that. "

" Huh ... not really. " Informed the wizard.

" I would especially like a musician. " Asserted Luffy, coming out of the hold, with a wooden crate in his hands. " A pirate who doesn't sing is not a real pirate. "

"For that, I have Lyra. " Said Lucy. " She's the best singer. "

" No kidding ? That is true ? Great ! "

" She has the least useful. " Sighed Nami.

She suddenly jumped when Luffy put his bass drum down close to her.

" Phew ! It's not light. " He confessed.

" Cannonballs ? " Nami wondered, looking at the wooden crate. " What do you want to do with it ? "

" Train me with the cannon. " Affirmed the captain, seizing one of them. " I always dreamed of using it. "

" Mugiwara want to use the cannon ? " Said Raynare. " Is this a good idea for you ? "

" Not at all. " Said Zoro and Lucy.

" Come on, there is no reason to panic. " Assured Luffy, starting to target a reef a little further. "I'm sure I can use it correctly."

Then firing, he sent the cannon ball about ten meters from its target.

" Can do better. " Remarked Nami.

" How do I adjust the aim? " Wanted to know Luffy, scratching his head.

Suddenly jumping on the railing of the boat, Raynare stared at the reef that Luffy had missed, before creating two spears in her hands.

" What are you doing ? "

Ignoring his question, Raynare remembered a move she had tried to make against Kuro, but which had failed miserably. Twirling her two spears, she ends up throwing them both. Turning around of the another, the spears created a tornado which came dangerously close to the reef.

However, at the last moment, the spears finally separated and left in different directions, doubling the reef without touching it, and exploded by touching the ocean

" Damn ! " Said Raynare, noticing that her attack had failed again.

" This could have made a big explosion. " Zoro noted.

" Yeah, but it didn't work. " Raynare growled.

" It's my turn. " Cried Usopp, standing behind the cannon.

Charging and orienting the weapon so as to reach the target, he ends up firing. A few seconds later, the reef exploded, showing that he had hit the target.

" Wow! ONE SHOT ! " Exclaimed Luffy.

" WHAT ... ? " Said Usopp, who seemed to be the most surprised. " HAHAHAHAHA ! Did you see that ? I got it the first time ! Impressed ? "

" YEAH ! From now on, you will be the gunner of the crew. "

Hearing his stomach gurgling, he said then.

" I'm hungry. "

" If you want, I can cook you something. " Affirmed Nami. " However, you will have to pay me. "

" What ? " The five others were astonished. " This is theft. "

Suddenly opening, the door leading to the kitchen gave way to Capricorn who suddenly exclaimed.

" Lucy-sama, the meal is ready. "

" WHAT ? Who is he ? " Wanted to know Usopp, hiding behind the cannon. .

" Hi, goat. " Greeted him Luffy. " Wait, did you talk '' meal '' ? "

" Yes ! I have some talents in cooking ! So, I thought it would be a pleasure for you that I cook, as a thank you for taking care of Lucy-sama. "

" Awesome ! Thank you very much. " Luffy thanked him, rushing into the kitchen.

Seeing him do it, while the others imitated him, Lucy eventually noticed Capricorn.

" Capricorn, since we are here, I noticed that you and the others are more easily able to appear by yourself, in this world. "

" Indeed. " Capricorn approved, making a few movements with his hands. " I have the impression that this world places far fewer constraints on us than ours! We can appear on our own, without having to use a lot of magic! However, we are still in touch with your magic! So this capacity will be canceled as soon as you don't have our keys with you ! So, I advise you not to part with it. "

" I will think about it. "

Entering the kitchen, while Capricorn took his leave, Lucy and the others were able to take a seat at the kitchen table, while Luffy was already attacking a dish.

" It's not the best, but it feels good. " Said the boy, starting to bite into a roast.

" Me, as long as there is alcohol, that's fine with me. " Zoro assured, taking a bottle.

" There is even crab. " Rejoices Usopp.

Seeing the boys sit at the table, Raynare eventually joined them as she asked.

" In the end, if I count Lucy well, you have at least twelve spirits, if they all correspond to the signs of the zodiac. "

" In fact, I have fifteen spirits ! I have all the keys belonging to the signs of the zodiac, except those of the Fish and the Balance ! On top of that, I have five others spirits, like Plue or Lyra. "

" This makes a real army. " Noticed Usopp. " And what do they do when you don't call them ? "

" They are in another dimension ! it's the spirit world. "

" The spirit world ? " Repeated Luffy. " It looks too great ! Can you take us there ? "

" Sorry, but I don't think we can get there. "

" In any case, for a demon fruit, your power is really incredible. " Noticed Zoro. " You have an army ! If you could train to be as strong as them, you would have no weak points. "

" By the way, now that I think about it, I heard that you met Zoro in Shells Town. " Affirmed Nami. " But where are you and Raynare from ? "

Having already prepared this question, the fallen angel affirmed.

" We come from an island in South Blue! I was part of a group of mercenaries, called '' Grigori ''! Nevertheless, after a betrayal, I left the group and I finally found Lucy on the way, while we headed for East Blue ! This is here where we met Luffy.

The man, too busy eating, no longer listened to the discussion and was all the better. If the fallen angel was afraid of a thing, it was that he said the truth unintentionally. He was the only people, along with Coby, who knew the truth about their past, and neither of the two girls had any idea how the other members would react to the truth.

" Also, what is "Fairy ... tail"? " Wanted to know Zoro, looking at Lucy. " He seems to me that you and the lion spirit have spoken about it. "

Showing her tattoo on her hand, Lucy lied to him.

" It is a group of bounty hunters to which I belonged before meeting Raynare ! Finally, I wanted to leave to start a new life. "

" Well, following Luffy was not the best idea. " Laughed Nami. " It is a bad luck charm ! After the fights against Buggy and Kuro, I wonder what can still happen to us. "

" Come fight. " Suddenly cried a voice from the bridge.

" Hum ? What is that ? "

" Troubles. " Raynare said, continuing to eat as if nothing had happened.

Hearing crashing noises, Luffy stood up then, while affirming.

" I hope this guy has a good reason to bother me in the middle of a meal. "

Then leaving the kitchen, he let the others hear.

" Hey, who are you ? "

" Motherfucker ! So it was you who hurt my partner ? "

" What are you talking about ? "

" I'm going to kill you. "

New crashing noise.

" How many enemies ? " Wanted to know Raynare.

" Uh… only one. " Nami told her, looking out the window with Usopp and Lucy.

" Good, then Mugiwara can manage. " She said, sipping iced tea.

Suddenly, Zoro stood up while affirming.

" I already heard that voice. "

" Huh ? " Said the others, as he opened the door.

" Don't damage my boat. " Luffy ordered, throwing the stranger against the mast of the ship.

Crushing against the mast, the enemy let go of the saber he was holding in his hand, while collapsing on the ground.

" I was there… almost. "

" Johnny ? " Zoro wondered, seeming to recognize him. " It's really you ? "

" Huh ? " Said Johnny, getting up. " A… Aniki ? But what are you doing there on this pirate ship ? "

" I can ask you the same question! Yosaku is not with you ? "

" Huh ? " Wondered Luffy, putting his hat back on correctly. " You know each other ? "

" Yosaku is not well. " Johnny sobbed suddenly, rushing towards one of the sides of the boat where a grapple was hung. " Look, there he is. "

Leaning over, Zoro could see his friend's little boat, with Yosaku, lying on board, pale and bleeding from all sides.

" What… what happened to him ? "

" Yosaku was fine a few days ago. " Johnny assured, after having deposited his injured friend on the deck of the Going Merry. " And then, suddenly, he became livid and sores opened all over his body, making him weak! I don't know what to do to cure him."

Arriving on the bridge with Usopp and Raynare, Lucy asserted, seeing the state of Yosaku.

" He is really in bad shape. "

" Yes, and he will certainly die if it continues. " Sobbed Johnny. " I ... I wanted to take him to a reef, so that he can rest a little! And that's where a cannon shot pulverized the latter! And one of the debris hit Yosaku on the head, worsening his condition! "

Hearing this, Usopp and Luffy widened their eyes, understanding that Johnny was angry with them.

" We… We are sorry. "

" This is useless ! Now it seems that nothing can save him. "

" Oh no. " Horrified the two men.

Seeing the boys start to panic, Nami finally appears and squats in front of Yosaku.

" Decidedly, you are really idiots! "

" Hein? " Said Zoro! " What are you saying ? "

Ignoring him, Nami suddenly grabs Yosaku's tongue and begins to pull it before opening an eyelid to examine his retina.

" Hey, what are you doing to my partner ? " Johnny got angry.

" He has scurvy. "

" The scurvy ? " Repeated Lucy. " It's a disease often caught at sea, isn't it ? "

" Yes ! It is common among sailors because they lack vitamins ! To treat it, you have to give it ! Luffy, Usopp ! The lemon reserve, quickly. "

" Yes ! " Nodded, almost pushing themselves to get to the kitchen first.

" You ... Can you save him ? " Rejoices Johnny, spitting squarely on Nami's face. " Oh, thank you so much, sister-Nami. "

" I don't know if that will save him. " Retorted the readhead, while the other two boys returned with a bucket full of lemons." It will depend on whether or not we can cure it on time! If it is too late, he will die from an internal hemorrhage. "

" This seems to be a rather serious disease. " Lucy noticed, watching Luffy and Usopp start squeezing the lemons to fill Yosaku's mouth with juice.

" It's the case ! A long time ago, sailors constantly suffered from diseases such as scurvy due to poor nutrition! Vegetables and fruits rotted quickly on the boats, so they didn't see the point in taking them and throwing them away! Lemons contain a lot of vitamins, so that should cure it! "

" Are you sure ? " Zoro asked her, pointing to Luffy and Usopp.

Wanting to treat the man, the two comrades had nothing better to do than fill his mouth with lemons, to the point of suffocating him.

" What are you doing, baka ? "

" In the end, our discussion just now must really be taken seriously. " Raynare remarked.

" What do you mean ? " Zoro asked her.

" Excluding the musician, we absolutely need a cook, a doctor and a carpenter. " She assured. " Without this, many problems will fall on us, without us being able to do anything about it. "

" She's completely right. " Assured Nami. " Grand Line is known for its devastating diseases as well as its storms capable of weakening the most resistant of ships! Faced with this, we need competent people, capable of helping us and advising us as needed. "

Suddenly, a spitting noise was heard, while pieces of lemons flew in all directions. Suddenly getting up, while holding his throat, Yosaku was catching his breath, while his face had already taken on colors. Seeing his mouth bleeding stop, Raynare suddenly whistled, before noticing.

" He has risen. "

" What ? " Nami wondered.

" Yosaku ! " Rejoices Johnny.

" Partner ! " Adds the former wounded man, getting up.

Then performing a strange dance, while running around each other, the two men showed their joy, while shouting.

" Hip hip hurray ! Hip hip hurray ! "

" We heal scurvy so quickly ? " Wanted to know Usopp, pointing to Yosaku.

" Of course not. " Retorted Nami. " This is not normal. "

" It doesn't matter. " Said the former wounded, taking a pose with Johnny. " What matters is that it's behind us ! By the way, I introduce myself! I am Yosaku, a bounty hunter and Johnny's partner. "

" And me, it's Johnny! " Adds his friend. " Bounty hunter too, as well as Yosaku's partner. "

" Bounty hunters? " Wondered Lucy. " Like Zoro before we meet him? "

" It's just ! Zoro is our aniki! " Affirmed the two men. " We have come a long way with him! "

" Nevertheless, I would like to understand what you are doing here, with these pirates, Zoro. " Confessed Johnny.

" Oh, it's simple! I am no longer a bounty hunter! Following many events, I became a pirate. "

" What ? " Yosaku was surprised. " You are not serious all the same ? Roronoa Zoro, the pirate hunter, has become a pirate? So this is the best. "

" Why ? " Asked the man, with a small smile. " Are you going to consider me your enemy, now? "

" No, no ! " Assured the two men. " We will never hurt you ! We were just surprised, that's all. "

" In any case, it's nice to see you guys again. " Assured the swordsman, trying his hand towards them.

" For us too, Aniki. " Cried the two men.

But as Johnny managed to shake his hand, Yosaku suddenly fell forward and collapsed on the floor of the ship, again with a bloody face.

" Yo ... Yosaku ! " Johnny was horrified.

" Know how to eat to survive at sea… it takes a lot of knowledge. " Said Nami, while Zoro and Johnny had taken Yosaku to rest.

" So we need a cook. " Asserted Luffy. " Lucy's goat just has to become the crew cook. "

" Capricorn generally cooks only according to his mood. " Retorted Lucy. " And then, he doesn't really know about illness and nutritional deficiencies! Entrusting him with this responsibility is not a very good idea. "

" In this case, we must find a cook before going to the Grand Line. " Understood Usopp. " It remains only to find one crazy enough to team up with us. "

Johnny then rose from his seat.

" After saving Yosaku's life, it is normal for me to help you! Mugiwara, I know where you can find a cook. "

" Ah yes ? "

" If we go west, after a day to boat , we will arrive in a place called " Baratie " ! "

" What is that ? " Wanted to know Lucy. " The name of an island ? "

" No, it's a boat ! Or more exactly, a restaurant on the open sea, where, according to rumors, there are the best cooks of East Blue. "

" A restaurant on the open sea ? " Repeated Raynare. " What a funny idea ! It is an ideal place to be attacked by pirates. "

" It is. " Said Johnny. " But many local naval officers are also good customers of this restaurant! So pirates usually try to avoid a fight, for fear of meeting there ! In addition, another rumor means that they don't even want to approach it anymore. "

" Which ? " Wanted to know Usopp.

" Mihawk would have been seen around. "

It didn't take more for Zoro to suddenly grab his sabers, before smiling in excitement.

" Hum? " Said Raynare. " A problem ? "

" No nothing ! It's just that I always wanted to meet this man. "
