A lot had happened in the crew's travels through the desert.
You ran into monstrous lizards, horrible sandstorms, thieving birds, sudden sinkholes, fake rebel armies, a desolate town, said goodbye to Ace, and everything else in between.
But now, you all had finally made it to your true destination...
Rainbase.
The current safe haven to the rebel army, Crocodile, and all of Baroque Works.
Luffy and Usopp had run off to go find some water, and Chopper went to the bathroom, so the rest of the crew was sitting in the shade, waiting for the three to return.

"I heard this place was a casino town," you smirked, looking up at Zoro, "Maybe we could hit up the slot machines before the final battle."
You had taken a nice shady spot next to Zoro, laying your head in his lap as you two conversed to pass the time.
And after a couple minutes of red cheeks and sweating from the man, which you blamed on the heat, he finally started responding in things other than rushed, one word replies.
Zoro smiled, tossing the stick he had been fiddling with in a nearby bush, "Eh, knowing Luffy and Usopp, they're bound to screw something up. I'd start getting ready to run."
You snickered, nodding your head, "Yeah, you're probably right. But we might as well enjoy this moment of peace while we got it, y'know?"
Suddenly, Zoro paused, and his eyes flickered with a question.
"How's it feel? ...Knowing that you're gonna be the first of the crew to reach your goal?" He asked, closing his eyes and tucking his hands behind his head.
"It feels....accomplishing. After all this time, I'll finally feel complete," you smiled, sticking out your tongue.
"It's almost too good to be true."
Zoro almost let his own smile crack through, before he turned serious again, clearing his throat.
"After you do complete your dream, are you... leaving the crew?" He asked, looking at everything but you.
You smirked, the man's nervous state fueling your confidence, "Why you ask, swordsman? Don't want me to go?"
The poor man blushed profusely. "I was just wondering! You always gotta make everything weird..."
You hummed, calming shutting your eyes and shifting in his lap, getting comfortable.
