"You Guys didn't have to ask me that I decided a Long time ago he's the only person I'd except as our shipwright" Luffy said adjusting his hat

"SERIOUSLY!? THANK YOU! ARE ALL OF YOU GUYS OKAY WITH THIS!?" Zambai yelled as he bowed down in thanks

Sanji and Chopper were to distraught over there wanted poster to say anything coherent

"I-I guess" Nami said

"Well...He has got on my good side for helping us rescue Robin, I'm okay with it" Cray said

" Of Course" Robin said

Looks like you have your answer" Zoro said

"I'm, Relieved thank you!" Zambai said to the Franky family as they all walked off but before he did he stopped to tell them.

"If he refuses...Please Try to take him by Force" Zambai said


(Back inside)

Everyone was packing up there things ready to go

"So are you guys prepared for the worst regarding Ussop, Aren't you Luffy?" Zoro said

Luffy just gave him an assuring nod.

"Man I can't wait to see what our new ship is going to be like" Cray said as he carefully wrapped up his painting in a cloth and onto his BackPack

"Whats that?" Luffy said

"Oh just a little project that I have been working on, Don't worry I'll show you all once were settled on the new Ship" Cray said

"Alright Great...Chopper, Sanji how long are you going to feel down huh? "Luffy said

"SHUT UP! DON'T YOU SEE THE POSTER THAT I'M STUCK WITH?! WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE THATS DRAWNED!?...ALL THE WOMEN OUT THERE IN THE WORLD ARE GONNA LAUGH AT ME!" Sanji yelled as he slumped to the ground

"I"M A PIRATE TO! I FOUGHT LIKE A MAN! WHY IS MINE SO LOW!?" Chopper yelled

"Come on Chopper don't be like that" Luffy said


Iza was then walking towards her house, as she clenched the Wanted poster

(Shipyard Earlier)

IZA, IZA!"

Iza looked and noticed Zambai running towards her,

"What is it Zambai" Iza said

"Look before I show you I need to know where Sumi?" Zambai said

"He's back at the house, why?" Iza said

Zambai just took a deep breath and then took out a piece of paper and handed it to Iza, Iza realized it was a wanted poster and who was presented on it made her eyes wide and her stomach clench.

"No...No" Iza said

DEMON FOX NAME UNKNOWN $100,000 with a picture of Sumi bearing his fangs with his face in anger.

"All of the Straw hats and even big brother Franky has a bounty to" Zambai said as he showed her Frankys Bounty

Iza was just clenching the paper in her hands tightly

"Listen I know that it must be hard to see, but with a bounty like that even though its small, theirs no telling what Desperate low-life will try to do to get him" Zambai said

Iza then just took a deep breath.

"Heh you honestly think I will let anybody touch him, you must be really stupid" Iza said

"I'm not saying your not capable of kicking ass, but are you really wanting to do it all the time?" Zambai said

"Zambai..." Iza said annoyed

"Listen to me and the others were going to talk with The Straw Hats and were thinking that it would be best for Franky to go with them and maybe it would be best if Sumi.." Zambai said

Izas eyes then started to glare at Zambai that sent a chill down his spine.

"Do...Not...mention this to them...At all...Leave Sumi out of this...Do you understand me?" Iza said as she got up

"ehhhh! alright alright don't worry I won't say a thing to them about Sumis bounty at all" Zambai said

"Good. now get out of my face" iza said as she sat down.

Zambai then took his leave as Iza continued to look at the Poster in her hand.

"Bullshit" Iza said


Iza walked through the door of her house.

"Sumi I'm back...Listen we need to talk about something" Iza said as she looked up towards Sumi's little room area but there was no response

"Sumi? are you up there?" Iza said

Silence

Iza then climbed up the ladder and as she got up there she noticed that the area was completely cleaned up, an on the small bed was a small note.

Iza quickly picked up the note and started reading

"Iza I just wanted to say thank you for saving me on that day, I will never forget it, I'm sorry that I left without you knowing, I just felt that it was time, staying here isn't what I want, and the longer I'm here the more hard it is for me to move on about what happened on that day, I want to make new friends, want to see new things...I'm going to join the Straw Hats, I hope that you Understand, I have to do this...for myself.

-Sumi,

Iza then just tightened her lips. Iza then quickly dropped down towards the lower level and started running.


Sumi was then walking down the road towards the New ship.

"SUMI!"

Sumi turned around and noticed Iza running towards him

"AHHHH!" Sumi Yelled as he started running, Sumi put his tail down on the road making a slippery trail, but Iza knowing Sumi's trick just quickly positioned her feet and then started to slide perfectly on it making her go faster, it wasn't long until Iza quickly Grabbed Sumi as they rolled on the ground.

"WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING!?" Iza yelled

"DIDN'T YOU READ MY LETTER I SAID I WANT TO JOIN THE STRAW HATS!" Sumi said

"AND WHO SAID YOU COULD!?" Iza yelled

"WHAT! WHAT DO YOU MEAN!?" Sumi Yelled

"YOUR STAYING HERE!" Iza yelled as she held her tightly in her arms

"IZA PLEASE LET ME GO! I CAN'T TAKE IT I'M SICK OF NOT HAVING ANY FRIENDS!" Sumi said

"WHAT!? ARE YOU SAYING YOUR NOT MY FRIEND!?" Iza Yelled

"I'VE NEVER CONSIDERED YOU A FRIEND!" Sumi yelled

Iza's eyes went wide

"for the past few years, you have taken care of me, fed me, gave me a warm bed to sleep in, and was always there for me, you were more then a friend to me...you were a mother to me...Something that I've never had...I never wanted to leave...because I was scared, and that what happened back then will happen again, but I'm tired of being scared, and this is the only way for me to do it...Please let me do this" Sumi said

Iza just looked at him with tears in her eyes as she held the wanted poster in her hand


(the ship)

The Straw Hats then arrived at the shipyard to notice a huge Tarp covering the ship with Iceburg waiting for them.

"Whoa its huge!" Chopper said

"Oi Ice Pops, Wheres Franky?" Luffy said

"Unfortunately he had to go somewhere, but the ship is completed, I'll show it you in place of Franky, When I saw the Blueprints, I kenw that this ship would be iincredible and would be able to traverse any sea" Iceburg said

"Luffy was smilign with excitement

"Well Hurry up show it to us" Luffy said with sparkling eyes

Iceburg then gripped the tarp.

"Here is Frankys Message to you Straw Hat, If your going to be King of the Pirates someday...Board this King of Animals Ship!" Iceburg said as he pulled off the tarp to reveal the large magnificent ship to all of them, that had Large Lion figurehead

"Incredible!" Nami said

"its twice as big as the Going Merry!" Zoro said

"I wonder what it looks like on the inside!" Cray yelled

"What a fine ship" Robin said

All of them didn't hesitate to get onto it to see how it looked like they were surprised how extremely detailed and other features that were placed like the deck was an actual Lawn

"Look a this an actual Lawn!" Luffy yelled as he was rolling on the grass

"It looked like we can do some gardening as well" Robin said

"It does have a good view" Zoro said

""Wheres the Kitchn!?' Sanji said as he ran inside the ship, With Cray right behind him, Cray wanted to see what was added for him to the ship

"A FRIDGE WITH A LOCK ON IT AND A HUGE OVEN!? THIS IS GREAT!" Sanji yelled

Cray Wanted to find a place to set down his painting, and as he was going through the ship he noticed a door that had plaque on it that read C.A.G

"C.A.G?" Cray said as he pened the door and as he did his Eyes went wide with amazement

"Oh..My...God" Cray said

He noticed that the entire area was designed in a way to make it look like the inside of an Empty Museum with Detailed columns etc, and as he looked he noticed a little small work area designed as a shack that was Completely filled with art equipment. he then noticed a small Note on the working table.

"Don't screw it up"

-Iza

Cray then made a huge smile

he then started yelling with happiness and excitement as he was running around the large room


(Outside of the ship)

"Hey Ice Pops, Wheres Franky, We'd Like to say thanks" Luffy said

"It seems he has no intention of seeign you guys again" Iceburg said

"Huh?" Luffy said

" Are you guys going to ask him to join you guys as a shipwright" Iceburg said

"Yeah How'd you know? I've decided to that hes our shipwright" Luffy said

"He seems to have Realized that but he's not sure if he can turn you down if you ask him face to face thats why he left, but his honest wish is that he wants to sail with you guys He's come to genuinely like you guys But he's imposing a duty upon himself to stay on this island." Iceburg said

"A Duty?" Luffy said

"More like a stupid Persistence..So..if you intend to to take him with you...Do Whatever it Takes..Take him by Force! Thats the only way to free him" Iceburg said

"By force? thats what Zambai said to..But is it really okay?" Luffy said thinking

"I don't see how its not" Iceburg said

"HEY STRAW HAT!"

Luffy looked on and noticed Iza walking towards them

"HEY IZA!" Luffy yelled

"IS CRAY WITH YOU RIGHT NOW!?" Iza yelled

"He's in the ship checking it out Why?" Luffy said

Iza then Steppped to the side to Reveal Sumi staring up at him

"SUMI!? HEY HOWS IT GOING!?" Luffy said

Sumi was just silent

"Is everything okay?" Luffy said

"Luffy, theres something that I need to ask you?" Sumi said

"Alright what is it?" Luffy said

"Remember a while back when you asked me if I could join your Crew?" Sumi said

Luffys Eyes went wide

"I..I was Wondering...You didn't change your mind on it right...Because...I Want to join your Crew" Sumi said

After a long pause Luffy then just smiled.

"Sure, I don't see why not" Luffy said

"Really!?" Sumi said excitingly

"Yeah But first we need to figure out how were going to get Franky to Join our Crew, Do you think you can help us with that?" Luffy said

Sumi then nodded.

"I'll be more then Happy to help convince that Idiot to join you guys to" Iza said

"Thanks Iza" Luffy said

"So whats the Plan?" Iza said


(Inside the Ship)

"This is so awesome, I have all this to myself, This Place is perfect to hang up my First Painting" Cray said as he looked down at the covered Painting but as he did he then thought back when he was making it and Sumis help he then let out a sigh.

I guess he made his choice" Cray said as he picked up the painting and as he turned around he then noticed someone standing by the Door, with a huge smile on his face.

"I made my Decision" Sumi said with a smile

Crays eyes went wide and then he smiled.

"Welcome aboard" Cray said
