Back on the Thousand Sunny, the crew was occupied with showing our new guests from Wano around the ship.

"The Sunny here was built to impress. So I'm glad it meets your approval, little bro! Isn't it super?!" Franky told Momonosuke and Kin'emon who were excited about the ship.

"I concur that this vessel is quite super!" The two of them said in response to Franky.

"Hey, Momo, how about a tour of the inside too?" Nami asked the boy. "I'd love to show you."

"Would you?! I shall allow it then." He said with the biggest grin on his face.

"Come on!" Nami said as she took Momo by the hand and walked past me to show him around the place.

Still recovering from the events of Punk Hazard, I decided to sit down and catch my breath for a little bit first while I can.

'Even now, it doesn't feel real that everything happened the way that it did. I feel lucky to have so many adventures to share with her now.'

After a while, I got up to look for Law. When I approached him, he was deep in thought, trying to figure out what was so significant about the little charm.

"Hey, I see you still kept it with you. Thanks for keeping it this whole time." I spoke up, making him look over to me.

"You said this was some sort of key, but what exactly am I supposed to do with it?" Law asked.

Holding the charm in his hand, I knew that it was time to let him know about everything. We were sailing on the way to Dressrosa... With how things have turned out against Doflamingo, we won't have the luxury of time once we get on land.

"I said before that I have proof, so-"

"If I decide that it's not enough to convince me, I'm not willing to hear any more about it." He added in, bluntly. "Better yet, I think it's best to focus on the more pressing matters. Not this nonsense."

"What are you talking about?" I asked, worried on what he was implying.

Walking over to the railing of the ship, he held his hand over it and dangled the necklace loosely from his grip.

"Wait! No!" As quick as I could, I reached for his arm and pulled on the sleeve to bring him back from the edge. "What do you think you're doing?!"

He looked at me with an eyebrow raised and then gave the smallest hint of a smile.

"So that's how it is then." Law nodded once making me release him and take a step back from him.

"Wait. You were... Testing me?" I realized.

"Seems that I was right then. There is something out there, but the only thing I can't figure out is why you'd tell me and not someone else like Straw Hat."

"I have my reasons." I said. "Look, everything will make sense soon enough. Meet me in the library. I'll answer all of your questions there. Just don't do something like that again! You had me worried there for a moment."

When we walked off to go our separate ways, I looked back to see him hold the necklace in his hand and look at it a moment longer before he turned the corner and went on ahead of me to wait.

Once I made it into my room, I looked through my desk and under a set of books I had scattered in random piles and finally found what I was looking for. I picked up a box, inside held the truth along with the message I had to pass on to him. Before I left, I pulled out the most convincing piece yet and put the small item in my back pocket to show it to Law last.
