As the siblings finished hugging, Nami explained the situation to the "stuck-between-buildings" duo.

"What's there to think about? Let's set sail and go after them!" Luffy declared, with Zoro nodding in agreement. "Hey, rope guy, lead us to a boat!"

'Wait... did Luffy just call him "Rope guy"?' Meela thought, but her little brother interrupted her.

"By the way, is there another sea train?" Luffy asked.

"There's only one sea train in the world: The Puffing Tom," the rope dude answered, but Meela cut him off before he could continue.

"But it already left," Meela said. "We get it. If we wanted a boat, we'd have to wait until morning, which would mean being too late to save our besties. What we should talk about is the place we'll be going to before we're fully on board with Operation Rescue Our Besties."

As Meela concluded her suggestion, Nami spoke up. "I know what kind of place Enies Lobby is. Isn't that where the Gates of Justice are?" Luffy and Zoro exchanged confused glances as Meela continued.

"Enies Lobby is where criminals are put on trial," Meela explained, but Nami cut in.

"The fact that someone's being taken there is evidence enough of the crime," Nami added.

"True," Meela commented. "Once someone's taken to Enies Lobby, they pass through the Gates of Justice, and they either go to Marine Headquarters or Impel Down." She sighed. "Those bastards have no sympathy and will send criminals straight to jail."

"Which is why we can't wait until morning. While we're wasting time here, Robin is getting closer and closer to the Gates of Justice!" Nami argued. As the rope dude explained their situation again, Meela rolled her eyes, officially losing her patience.

"Do you still plan to wage war on the world?" Rope dude asked, and Meela turned to Luffy.

"In that case... we'll take the ship by force! We're leaving now! Our friends are waiting for us, so don't get in the way!" Luffy announced as the other Straw Hats prepared for battle. But, of course, the rope dude—now known as Paulie, thanks to one of the shipwrights—got in their way.

"I'm still going to call him Rope dude, though," Meela thought as she glanced at the old lady who spoke up.

"Paulie is right. You guys aren't thinking straight," the old lady said, but Luffy interjected.

"You should hear me out. The only thing that can survive in Aqua Laguna waters is the sea train. So follow me. I'll start the 'sea train' for you."

'Wait, so there's another one?' Meela thought as she noticed the old lady advancing toward this supposed "sea train."

A little time skip

As the lady led the group to the location of the "sea train," Meela observed as they eventually reached their destination. They were met by Iceberg, who decided to fix up "Rocket Man" before they set off. As soon as Meela turned around, she was met with a mountain of food!

"Wow!" Meela yelled as she ran over and started eating everything, except the meat, because she knew Luffy wanted that.

"Me-Me! Don't eat it all!" Luffy pouted as he ran over and grabbed his meat. "Save some for me! And Zoro!" As Meela looked over, she noticed Zoro was just downing all the sake.

'Bruh,' Meela thought as she finished processing what her little brother had commented on. In the middle of her eating session, the Franky Family decided to show up.

"STRAW HAT! PLEASE TAKE US WITH YOU! WE HEARD FROM THE GAL—" one of the Franky Family members exclaimed, but at that point, Meela decided not to bother listening to any more of the conversation. That was when she noticed everyone was getting into the "sea train," so Meela decided to join them.

'Whatever, they were able to come anyw—' Meela's thoughts were interrupted as she walked into the "sea train." However, her thoughts were soon cut off when the other Franky Family members noticed her.

"SIS!?" all the Franky Family members exclaimed in shock upon seeing the redhead. "Why are you here?" Meela looked at them with a "are you stupid?" expression.

"I'm just helping out my little brother," Meela said.

"Your brother?" the Franky House questioned.

"Yeah. I've talked about him before," Meela replied, noticing the confused looks on their faces. She sighed and yelled, "STRAW HAT IS MY LITTLE BROTHER, YOU IDIOTS!" The entire Franky Family gasped in realization.

"OHHHHH!" they exclaimed as Luffy laughed.

"Alright, since it's cleared up that Me-Me is my sister, let's go!" Luffy exclaimed. Meela smiled, thinking...

'Now would be a great time for a nice, juicy nap...'
