After leaving the home island of Usopp with their new ship the Going Merry, the new crew had rescued a young woman, called Michell D Iris, from the Ocean and join asks her to join the crew because he thought she was cool, however, one member of the...
Soon after taking the bath night had fallen and the crew, along with Vivi gathered back in their room. It was there were Nami officially suggests to the others that they leave tonight. "Tonight?" Usopp was surprised upon this suggestion made. "Yep." "So we're leaving?" Chopper asked to see if he understood. "Well, I think we should too." Zoro seemed to be all for the idea. "No reason to stick around here any longer." "It does make perfect sense." Iris had spoken up in agreement and unconscious looked over at Zoro, who was looking at her before both turned their heads again. "Yeah, the Marines are starting to get bolder with their approaches." Sanji brought this up as this afternoon they were in front of the palace demanding entry to search the place for them. "Yosh! Luffy, you decide!" Usopp turned to the Captain, since he did get a say. Not the final say but a say. Yosh! We're leaving after one more Alabasta banquet!" And that was the reason for it. "We're leaving NOW, numbskull!" He had been hit across the head by Zoro as the others called him an idiot. Not including Iris. But then a knock on the door had arrived, causing them all to turn in the direction of it. "Come in!" Luffy came to shout without hesitation. "Sorry to intrude, however, I have a Transponder Snail for you." A solder entered the room with a tray in both hands that had a Transponder Snail on top of it. "A Transponder Snail?" But none of them understood why. "From someone named 'Bon'." The soldier was informing theml "Bon? Who's that?" None of them knew who that was. "We don't know him." Usopp stated not giving it a second thought. "But he claims to be your friend, so..." And the soldier didn't know what the do. "Friend?" This had Sanji head and pick the Transponder Snail up off the hook. "Hello, hello? Hel-lo~?!" A familiar voice had come out from the other end. "It's ME! It. Is. ME!" However, Sanji seemed grossed out as he knew that voice and hanged up. But it the Transponder Snail began going off. "WHAT IS IT!?" The cook was shouting pissed off, until Luffy stretched his arms across the room to grab the snail. "Oh, it's you. What do you want with us?" He answered with that all annoyed and wondered what Mr. 2, Bon Clay wants. "Oh!? Isn't that the voice of Straw Hat!?" Bon Clay recognised instantly. "You're so strooong~! I was so surprised~! Oh, yes, yes! Don't go calling me Mr. 2! At the Marie is get wind of this conversation, I'll be in super big trouble!" "He just said it himself!" Chopper shouted in shock, since there wasn't much point saying such a thing in the first place if the person had already done so. "Just spit it out." Zoro told Bon Clay since they didn't have the time for this. "Ah, right, right, right." Which got the man back on track. "I took your little ship!" He was saying all nonchalantly. "WHAT THE HELL?!" Having the others shouting at him. Excluding Iris anyway. "Asshole! That ain't funny! Where are you now!?" Usopp was demanding to know. "I'm on your boooaaat~!" "Of all the annoying bastards in the world..." Sanji was ready to lose it. "You've got it wrooong, all wrooong~!" But Bon Clay had suddenly shouting cutting him off. "Aren't you and I... friends~?" It was after that when the crew had been informed about the location when Bon Clay and the Going Merry was. "He's upstream on the Sandora River." Luffy came to say as he seemed to be angry. "Can we trust him?" Sanji had to asked this since the man was their enemy only a few days ago. "We were friends with him before..." The Captain was saying as it that was a good reason to trust him. "The idea of you becoming friends again scares me." Zoro recalled last time, which was quite a shocking sight. "However, it's not like we have much of a choice in this situation." Iris had come to say and no one could really deny that. "That's right. He's got our ship." Sanji was in a complete agreement with her. "If he's trying anything funny, we'll just kick his ass." "Then let's get moving already." It had been decided. "Yosh, let's get going. If the ship is taken, we gotta..." they were about to start getting their things together. "Hey, everyone..." until Vivi's voice had stopped them. "Hey... everyone..." She looked like she was having a hard time. "What... should I do?" She was still uncertain whether to leave with the crew or stay in her country. "Listen carefully, Vivi. Will give you 12 hours to think. After we take back up ship on the Sandora River,Den exactly at noon tomorrow, will swing the ship past the eastern harbour once." Nami had began to explain a plan to her, as she thought this might happen. "I doubt will be able to drop anchor, so if you want to keep travelling with us, that will be the last chance you have to jump on board. If so, will celebrate! As Pirates!" The crew had all their stuff together, while some had changed and were ready to leave out a window. "You're the Princess of the kingdom, so this is the best invitation we can give you." Sanji had stated to her, since royalty get better invitations than this. "Come, Vivi! You have to come! Come right now!" Luffy seemed to have decided on things. "Lu, stop that." But Iris

had grabbed the back of his collar. "Let's go!" Zoro told the others. "What? Don't you guys want her to come!?" But it seemed Luffy didn't understand why they were doing this. "It's not that! Baby has to decide this on her own!" Usopp shouted at him, hoping he would understand. If Vivi is not there by Noon, they will consider her to be staying, and leave without her. It is at that point that the Straw Hats take their leave.
Elsewhere in the palace, Chaka and Igaram seemed to have received news which wasn't exactly good. "What should we do, Sir Igaram?" Chaka had came to ask the man as the pair were inside a room that was lite by a single candle with papers on the table in front of them. "We must tell them immediately!" "Yes, of course..." And it seemed that he was in complete agreement as they were looking down at the papers nervously. "But... This is such a disastrous event... I only hope they are able to leave the island safely." Igaram was stating as this appeared to be something involving the Straw Hats. "This has happened all too fast!" The reason behind that distress was due to a single thing. "Roronoa Zoro, Bounty: 60,000,000 beli. Monkey D. Luffy, Bounty: 100,000,000 beli. Micheal D. Iris, Bounty: 90,000,000 beli." It was all due to new bounty posters for both Luffy and Iris

and now Zoro also had one as well. "Sir Igaram." "With this much on their heads, even the Marine Headquarters Admirals will move against them." This was quite serious and dangerous for the crew who new nothing about this. "There's no turning back now, Luffy... you and your crew have taken down one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
