As Meela opened her eyes, she saw an orange-haired girl talking to Chopper. She overheard their conversation, catching the words "Robin doesn't hate us..." and finally getting caught up on what she had missed.

"So, Robin didn't betray you guys," Meela concluded as she sat up and stretched a little.

"Oh, Meela, you woke up!" Chopper exclaimed, while Nami looked over at the redhead and sighed.

"Finally!" Nami said, sighing again. "I was trying to wake you up for a straight minute to tell you and Chopper about Robin." The crowd around the trio shook their heads, having witnessed the sight.

"Oh, sorry about that, Nams," Meela said with a chuckle, prompting Nami to facepalm.

"ARE YOU SERI—" Nami yelled, going in for a head bump but was interrupted by Iceberg.

"Wait, you guys..." Iceberg said, catching the trio's attention. "Though it's your decision to go after Nico Robin, at 11 PM, the Sea Train will depart with all government personnel. It's only a possibility, but the likelihood of them being on it is fairly high. This means Nico Robin will also be with them. After that, there will be no more Sea Train operations because of Aqua Laguna coming."

"So we only have one chance to get to Robin..." Meela let out, and Iceberg nodded.

"NO WAY! This is bad!" Nami exclaimed. "We only have 30 minutes left!"

"We should get started then," Meela concluded, getting up from her place on the grass and stretching.

"R-Right!" Nami said, turning to Chopper. "Chopper! Go search over in the area where I said Luffy and Zoro flew!" As Chopper went to work, a shipwright from Gal-Whatever instructed his fellow men to help after a long speech.

'I think his name was Paul or something?' Meela thought as she began searching for her brother with the others.

(A mini time skip)

As the group of shipwrights and a reindeer searched for Luffy and Zoro, Meela followed along, trying to feel for Luffy's presence as she had earlier.

'Nothing...' Meela thought, focusing on her brother's presence. The group paused in their search as Nami ran over to provide new information.

"So... two people in your crew are on the Sea Train?" Meela asked for clarification.

"Well, one person technically," Nami answered, her and Chopper's expressions turning sad. Meela looked at the duo in confusion.

"M'kay, well you guys can explain whatever that was later because we need to focus on finding Zor and Luffs," Meela said, glancing at Nami before continuing her search.

'Zor?' Nami thought, chuckling under her breath before continuing to give everyone orders.

"Since this is definitely the direction they flew in, everyone needs to search around here!" Nami announced, and the shipwrights began searching for the two Straw Hats. Meela heard Nami's announcement and started searching in the stated direction. Eventually, she reached a crowd gathered to stay safe from Aqua Laguna. When Meela arrived, she noticed the faintest whiff of her little brother and looked toward the two buildings that Luffy and Zoro were trapped in.

"Oh, uh, guys," Meela announced, but nobody was listening. She cleared her throat and repeated, "Hello, guys, I—"

"Miss Pirate Lady! Hey! Look over there! Something's over there!" a little blondie shouted, capturing Nami's full attention. Just as Meela was about to say something about what happened, she stopped when Nami and Chopper ran toward the "stuck-between-buildings duo." As the duo began running, Meela looked up and noticed how close Aqua Laguna was to hitting where they stood. 'Oh shit! That wave is getting really close! I should help them!' Meela thought.

As Meela ran over, both Luffy and Zoro had managed to escape where they were stuck. But the wave was getting closer! At the last second, Meela made the group fly as she yelled, "Haki Style: Ribbon's Leap!" She used the ribbons of her pointe shoes to whip them down, propelling the group toward safety. As they flew, the Straw Hats were amazed by Meela's attack.

"Look, they're okay!" a random person shouted as the crowd looked down to see all of them on top of a building.

When Meela looked up, she saw who she referred to as "the rope dude," who was getting a rope to help them reach where everyone was. They eventually made it to the top, and when they did, Meela ran over to Luffy and gave him the biggest hug.

"I missed you, Luffs!" Meela yelled, and Luffy chuckled.

"I missed you too, Me-Me," Luffy smiled. As the others watched, they couldn't help but smile at the two.
