" We are free. "

" Let's celebrate. "

Partying and eating, the villagers showed their joy at Luffy's victory against Arlong. And of course, Luffy was not the last when it came to partying. Having sat down at a table, he ate almost everything that passed under his nose, much to Gin's fury.

" Damn it ! You're going to leave me something to eat, yes ? "

Having given up for a while, Johnny and Yosaku just watched them fight. Finally, Johnny said.

" Luffy-aniki, you and the others, you were incredible. "

" Hum? What do you mean ? "

" You were powerful. " Yosaku explained to him. " You are strong, resistant, you run without having a little enemy ... I am so jealous of your power! We are nothing next to you. "

" What are you telling ? " Wanted to know Luffy. "You too have helped us."

" Huh ? " The duo wondered.

" It's true that you weren't strong enough. " Gin said. " However, without your help and your intervention, Lucy could never have recovered her keys! So, without you two, maybe Luffy could never have joined us and we might be dead by now. "

" Thanks guys ! " Cried Luffy, before catching his gaze.

Blushing then, the two men didn't know what to say. Finally, Yosaku affirmed.

" What a beautiful party! I wish Zoro had participated. "

" Impossible ! Given his injury, the village doctor has at least the whole evening to treat him. "

" Lucky that there is a doctor here. " Gin noticed. " Hey, Luffy ! Perhaps we should also think about finding a doctor ! It could serve us a lot. "

" Doctor ? " Luffy repeated. " Yes, that would not be a bad idea! However, first I want a musician. "

" A musician ? "

" Yes, a pirate, it likes to party and sing. " Assured Luffy.

Falling back, the three other men could only be amazed at Luffy's simple spirit.

Sitting a little away from the crowd, Raynare, preferred to eat, in peace in her corner. Unlike her, Sanji was surrounded by several women, while Usopp began to sing with ardor. Seeing them do it, the fallen angel couldn't help but notice that these people were very different from the people she used to work with. They were stupid, unconscious, suicidal ... and yet Raynare was starting to get used to the idea that living with them was not that bad.

And then there was Luffy's words about her when he declared that she was his friend like the rest of the crew.

" Why … ? " She suddenly wondered. " How can a man be crazy enough to want to befriend a fallen angel like me ? "

" Hey, madam. "

Looking up, Raynare saw a young girl in front of her, handing her a wreath of flowers.

" It's for you. " The child assured her, displaying a big smile. " Thank you for saving my village!

Surprised, Raynare could only take her crown, before seeing the girl go.

" That … ? "

" Something wrong, Ray-chan? " Suddenly questioned Lucy, joining her.

Barely glancing at her, Raynare questioned her.

" Have you seen what just happened ? "

" Yes, why ? "

" Can you see my wings? "

" Uh ... yes ! "

" In this case, everyone must understand that I am a fallen angel ! So why did this little girl say "thank you" to me ? "

" Because you just deserve it. " Assured her Lucy. " You defeated an Arlong officer all by yourself and despite your injuries, you did not hesitate to help Zoro and the others so that I could collect my keys ! And just for that, too, I say thank you. "

Suddenly embarrassed, Raynare preferred to hide this feeling in her and affirm.

" Tsss! It's a reaction from a simple-minded human. "

Suddenly, seeing Lucy wincing, while placing her hands on her buttocks, Raynare wanted to know.

" What happens to you ? "

" It's Aquarius! Since I lost her key again, she spanked me ! It hurts ! "

Raynare could not help snickering. She was laughing, not sadistically or meanly. She just giggled because of the fun of it.

" It's not funny. "

" So… Sorry, Lucy. " Raynare assured, while unable to stop.

Seeing her do it, Lucy ends up affirming.

" I'm happy. "

" Hum? "

" Yes, happy to see that you seem to feel better among us. "

Raynare immediately lost her smile, before turning her head to the side.

" Don't have an idea! I already told you, I just need you! You don't matter to me. "

However, with a whisper, she ends up confessing.

" Nevertheless ... Luffy ... he's not that bad as a captain. "

" You are right. " Assured her Lucy. " And you, you're not bad too, as a friend. "

" Tsss ! You are lucky that I am in a good mood, because if not, I too would have spanked you. "

" Hum ? " Lucy wondered, noticing then that Raynare was not sitting on a stone.

A safe. Rayanre was thus on an enormous treasure chest.

" Where did you find that ? "

" Hum? I managed to extract it from the rubble of Arlong Park. "

" This is theft. " Affirmed Lucy. " This treasure is for the inhabitants of this island. "

" Don't worry, there are still a lot of treasures for them. " Raynare assured her, before opening the trunk.

Sparkling then, Lucy's eyes looked at the coins and gems in the chest. There were several million berrys.

" With this gold, we will be able to buy all we want before entering Grand Line. "

" Yes, but … "

" Lucy ! We are going to live a great adventure! And to get to the end, we will need money for food, maintain the ship, buy new clothes… We need money. "

Reluctantly, Lucy sighed.

" This doesn't enchant me ! But hey, I know you're right! Nevertheless, you promise not to keep it only for yourself. "

" Of course. " Assured her the fallen angel. " It is for me ... and for you! Others don't have to know! Especially Nami ! "

Sighing at Raynare's selfishness, Lucy preferred to take out a key and called Virgo. Appearing then, the spirit bowed to Lucy, before asking her.

" What do you want, princess ? "

" Raynare still has something precious to put in the bank. " Lucy explained to her, tapping the trunk.

Then looking, the fallen angel, Virgo was silent for a few seconds, before asking.

" You will punish me, in exchange? "

" Oh, is that an invitation, you dirty rascal ? " Raynare asked, pinching her cheek.

Feeling a slight pain, Virgo immediately showed joy in her eyes, while she begged.

" Punish me, Raynare-sama. "

" Virgo! Raynare! " Called them to call them to order.

" I would not do him any real harm. " Raynare assured her, pinching the other Virgo's cheek. " Let me play with her for an hour and I swear she will be the happiest of spirits. "

Immediately, Virgo gave a pleading look to Lucy so that she could be allowed to have fun with Raynare.

Unable to sigh again, Lucy finally gives in.

" Very well ! I'll leave it for an hour! However, I don't want you really hurt her or have fun strangling her. "

" Noted. " Raynare assured her, before leaving with Virgo. " Come on! Let's go play together. "

She didn't have to repeat it for Virgo to follow her, with an admiring look.

It had been dark for a long time when everyone was sleeping. Sleeping next to a huge pile of plates, Luffy and Gin slept while their bellies were filled to the brim. Doing the same Yosaku ends up being shaken.

" Hey, Yosaku, wake up. "

" Huuuuuummmm? " Said the man, before opening your eyes. " What is happening ? "

" Hush. " Johnny ordered him. " I have to talk to you. "

" Tell me about what? " Asked Yosaku, pretending to go back to sleep. " Can't it wait until tomorrow? "

" No, because it is tomorrow that Luffy and the others will leave. " Johnny told him. " Look, I made a decision! If Luffy accepts, I will join his crew! "

Getting up immediately, widening his eyes, Yosaku exclaimed.

" WHAT? "

In an instant, Johnny placed his hands on his mouth to silence him.

" Shut up. "

" No, but have you lost your mind? " Asked Yosaku. " Why do you want to be a pirate? You don't like your work with me? "

" Yes ! Of course, yes ! You are my partner! However… "

Watching people sleeping, he noticed.

" It's the first time.

" Hein? "

" Since Zoro-aniki left us, this is the first that we have managed to work for a great cause! We are attacking pirates so insignificant that no one has ever noticed our existence! Besides, we managed to help Luffy-aniki enough to allow victory! It made me happy! "

" But why do you want to become a pirate, then? "

" I want to continue protecting people. " Johnny said. " Just like Aniki and Luffy, I want to be a hero! And for that, we need them! Only the path they will follow will allow us to become strong and valiant! I don't want to hunt little pirates anymore! I want to continue saving whole populations! "

Listening to him, Yosaku shook his head, while retorting.

" You will become the enemy of the Navy and not a hero! "

" That's what the Navy will say. "Johnny replied. " But it will never be what I would think, if I do good around me! This is my last word ! "

Bewildered, Yosaku shook his head, before going back to bed, while mumbling.

" No question of following you in this delirium ! My life as a pirate hunter suits me very well. "

" Very well, in this case, I officially announce the dissolution of our duo! Starting tomorrow, I will join Luffy-aniki in his quest for One Piece! "

Hearing him then go to bed, Yosaku remained with his eyes open, now unable to go back to sleep.

" And there you go. " Announced Gin, placing a last barrel on the Merry. " With that, we will have something to eat for a long time. "

" I admit that I will miss this island a little. " Confessed Usopp. " Yesterday's party was great. "

" Yeah, but it's time for us to resume our journey. " Luffy said, getting ready to get on the boat.

" Luffy-aniki. "

Suddenly running towards the boat, Johnny ends up stopping in front of Luffy, before bending down to catch his breath.

" I ... I wanted ... to ask you something. "

" What ? "

" I would like you to take me with you. "

" Hum ? Do you want to be taken to an island? "

" No. " Johnny retorted, almost screaming. " I made a big decision! I want to experience adventures on the seas and become a powerful fighter! I want justice settled on my way! Yes, just like you, I want to be a free and valiant man! So please let me join my crew, future pirate king! "

Immediately, a broad smile appeared on Luffy's face, as he asked.

" Do you really want to come with us? "

" Yes, I'm sure. "

" Awesome. " Suddenly rejoices Luffy. " Hey, do you hear that, guys? Johnny wants to come with us! "

" Johnny? Zoro wondered, leaning over! But, what about Yosaku? "

" We decided to separate because… "

" No way. " Retorted a voice behind him.

Johnny immediately felt a kick hit him on the back, while Yosaku was right behind him.

" Sorry my boy, but whatever happens, you can never get rid of me like that. "

" Yo… Yosaku? "

Pointing his finger, Yosaku affirmed.

" Out of question to let you realize our dream all alone! I too want to become a strong and courageous man! And I would do anything to achieve it! Quit becoming a pirate! Never forget Johnny, we are teammates! "

" Yosaku ! " Johnny immediately cried.

Suddenly wrapped his arms around their necks, Luffy ended up hugging them, while jumping in all directions.

" Great, we have two new companions! Two companions! "

Seeing them do so, Raynare contented herself with groaning as usual, before affirming.

" They will need a very long training in order to acquire enough strength to make themselves useful. "

" As long as they are motivated, they will get there. " Assured her Lucy. " By the way, how was your evening ? "

" Very good. " Raynare assured her, with a malicious smile. " To tell you the truth, and compared to you, Virgo loves spanking! "

" Forget the details. "

As for Johnny and Yosaku getting on the boat, Sanji exclaimed.

" Hey, a minute! I don't see Nami anywhere! Where is she ? "

" No idea. " Confessed Gin. " In fact, nothing tells us that she will join us. "

" Now that she no longer works under Arlong's thumb, nothing prevents her from staying on her island to cultivate her precious mandarins in honor of her mother. " Usopp noticed.

" What ? " Roared Sanji, turning to Luffy. " Luffy, I warn you in advance ! Nami-swan, Raynare-sama and Lucy-chan represent 98.72% of my reasons for staying here! If Nami leaves, I lose 32.90% of these reasons. "

" Don't worry, Nami will come. "

" How can you be sure? " Zoro asked him.

" Because I know it. " Luffy assured him.

" Everybody. " Suddenly cried a voice.

" NAMI-SWAN ! " Suddenly rejoices Sanji, seeing her in the distance.

" Raise the mainsail. " Nami ordered before running.

" That … ? " Usopp wondered.

" She wants to leave without saying goodbye. " Raynare understood.

" Ok, in this case, let's go. " Announced Luffy.

" Are you sure, Luffy-aniki? " Asked Yosaku.

" Yes, it's Nami who decided it. "

Maneuvering the boat immediately, the crew managed to move away from the port, to the surprise of the villagers.

" Nami ! " Then roared Genzo, running towards her. " I will not let you go like this. "

However, bypassing him without being able to react, Nami found herself behind him and continued on her way, dodging one by one the villagers who wanted to stop her. Finally, when she was ready to jump, she passed Nojiko, who did nothing to stop her. Instead, her sister only smiled while whispering to her.

" Good luck, sister. "

Nami's jump was spectacular. However, despite the gap that separated her from the boat, she managed to land on it to the delight of several members of the crew.

" We can go, Luffy. " She assured.

" Awesome. " Rejoices Luffy. " You have to toast and celebrate! We welcome three companions at once. "

Then, turning towards the island, Nami ends up lifting her T-shirt, in order to knock down all the wallets that contained it.

" But that … ? " Wondered Genzo. " My wallet. "

" Dirty little thief. " The villagers roared.

" Everyone, goodbye. " Nami greeted them, waving at them.

" Dirty little snot, don't see you again. "

" Give us back our money. "

" Goodbye, Nami. "

" Thank you for everything.

" Take care of yourself. "

" My god, Nami has not changed. " Lucy noticed. " Always as thief. "

And to prove it, Nami turned in a flash and clapped Raynare's hand as she prepared to pick up a wallet.

" Hands off. "

" Hey, I could at least take one. " Retorted the fallen angel. " I saved your village! You can share. "

" Do you really want to talk about sharing when I know very well that you stole a huge chest from Arlong Park? " Nami asked her, with a wicked smile.

Raynare immediately swallowed and turned to Lucy. Strangely, the blonde flees her gaze, while pretending to be innocent.

" We have a boat. " Suddenly noticed Luffy, sitting on the bow head. " The Grand Line card, a crew and a navigator! So, this time, I can shout it loud and clear! On the way to Grand Line. "

" Yeah ! " Cried his friends.
