After the one-week break on the island, the crew decided to continue back on their journey.

"What a nice day~," Said Nami, stretching in the nice weather.

"Nami-swan~ I made Potato Paille, my newest invention. Would you like to try some?" Asked Sanji

"Delicious." Said Nami while biting on the food

"Happy!" Exclaimed Sanji into the ocean

"Shut up! I can't sleep!" Said Zoro

"Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry, Mr. Cactus." Said Sanji in a mocking voice

"I don't want to hear that from a dart!"

"Dart…! What did you say!"

"Dart eyebrow." Said Zoro

The two started to argue as always. Meanwhile, Chopper, Usopp, and Frisk were calling out Luffy's name.

"Luffy ~we're waiting!" Said Usopp

Luffy burst out from the door and mimicked the time he was frozen by Aokiji covering himself in flour.

"Frozen Luffy!" Said Luffy

The three burst into laughter at the mimicry.

"I'm surprised you're able to joke about it when you almost died from being frozen!" Said Nami

"Hahahaha, Was it similar?! Nami. What are you eating!" Said Luffy

"It was the same!" Said Usopp and Chopper laughing on the floor

"I wish I was able to see it," Said Chara with a laugh.

"I'm eating potato paille." Said Nami

"Potato! I'm hungry too. Sanji!" Said Luffy

"How much do you have to sleep to be satisfied?!" Said Sanji to Zoro, still arguing about earlier and ignoring Luffy

"It's my business to sleep as long as I want. If it's a fight, bring it on!" Said Zoro

While the two were arguing, Robin opened the door to come out.

"Robin! How are you doing?" Said Chopper

Thanks to everyone… I'm feeling much better. Thank you, doctor." Said Robin

Even though Robin wasn't injured from the battle with Aokiji and the baron, she seemed more fragile than usual. Aokiji appears to have left quite the trauma on her. Chara frowned a little, seeing that Robin was keeping up the facade.

"Even then, you shouldn't over-exert yourself, Robin. It's for the best if you still rest." Said Nami

Everyone proceeded to eat the Potato Paille Sanji made.

"This potato Paille is delicious!" Said Luffy while munching up the food quickly

"What's a paille?" Asked Chopper

"Paille is the tail of the great monster Paille. I defeated it! It was 100 meters long." Said Usopp

"100m?! Amazing, Usopp!" Said Chopper

While Usopp was casually lying to Chopper, Chara and Zoro saw something moving in the ocean.

"What is that…" Said Zoro

"Looks like a frog?" Said Chara casually

"Chara's right! It's a frog! A giant frog! That's swimming freestyle! Where is he going hurriedly?" Said Luffy

"Luffy, stop saying stupid stuff. There's no way a giant frog would be swimming in freestyle…" Said Usopp as he turned to see the giant frog swimming in freestyle.

"It is!" Exclaimed Usopp

"Everyone! Get the rudder out and start chasing the giant swimming frog at 2o clock! Hurry!"

Everyone quickly started to chase the frog and began to row the rudder.

"Hey! Who told you to change course!" exclaimed Nami.

"Nami! Hear us out! We saw a giant frog with many injuries. We want to eat it!" Said Luffy

"You want to eat it?!" Said everyone clearly not on the same page as Luffy

"Hahahaha!" Laughed Chara looking at their antics

"Hmm? A lighthouse…?!" Said Nami seeing where the frog is headed

"Do you see an island?!" Said Luffy

"The log pose is not pointing there, but there is a lighthouse!" Said Nami

"Where's the frog! Tell us where the frog went!" Said Luffy

"No!" Yelled Nami

"The frog is also going towards the lighthouse." Said Robin

"You first use white wine to remove the mucus, and you put flour over it and slightly fry them." Said Sanji

"Sanji! Robin!" Cried Nami

"Okay! Full speed ahead, everyone!" Said Luffy

"Roger!" Said, everyone

"What's with this teamwork for this stupid frog!" Cried Nami

The boat quickly arrived at the lighthouse chasing the frog. There's a constant ringing sound everyone hears.

"What is that sound?!" Said Sanji

"It sounds like a train. But for a train to be here..." Said Chara

"What the heck is a train?" Said Zoro

"It's a giant piece of metal that goes through the rails towards a destination." Replied Chara

The sound of the ringing got louder. And something big was quickly approaching the Merry from the sides.

"What are we stuck on!?" Said Nami

"The rails! That's what it looks like, by the way, ~" Said Chara casually while the Train was about to slam on the Merry

"Kyaa! Move forward! Forward!"

The boat managed to get off the rails, barely too close for comfort.

"What is the metal monster! How is it able to move like that in the ocean!" Said Nami

The frog stood in front of the Train.

"What are you doing, frog! Runaway!" Said Luffy

The frog got hit by the Train at full speed and sank into the ocean.

"Ahhh! It got hit~!" Said Usopp and Luffy

When Merry stopped by the lighthouse, there was a little girl, a rabbit, and a grandma. They explained how this is one of the stations the train passes by.

"It's really cool, right! That's a sea train called the Puffing Tom!" Said Chimney

"Puffing Tom?" Asked Nami

"It uses steam engines to go through the rails on the ocean!" Explained Chimney

"Hmm, but how did Chara-san know what a train was?" Asked Sanji

All eyes were on Chara.

"Did you ride a sea train before?" Said Chopper with sparkles in his eyes

"No, I had trains where I lived, but it went through the land, so this is still fresh to see~," Said Chara

"Water Seven is the origin of the sea train, and it also has the title water city for how beautiful it looks. Also, it has the best boat building business in the world!" Said Kokoro

"Heh~ that must mean that there are good shipwrights!" Said Luffy

"Of course! Only the world's best shipwright is there!" Said Kokoro

Luffy and Usopp looked at each other.

"Usopp!" Said Luffy

"Yeah!"

"It's decided! We're going to get a shipwright as our new comrade!" Declared Luffy

Chara silently watched as the others were getting excited for Merry being fixed. Chara saw the SOUL of Merry. It was only here because of its determination. Barely alive. One way or another, this ship was going to die. Chara frowned a little

"What are you looking at, Chara?" Asked Chopper

"Oh, nothing~ let's go!" Said Chara

"Yeah!" Said Chopper

Chara silently sighed and whispered to herself.

"I wish you were here instead of me, Frisk…" Said Chara
