chapter 22

the story from here onwards will be in 3rd person pov

after about 5 minutes or so chopper entered the infirmary and found Jules sitting on the bed and looking around the room from her seat. "so lets get this done now." chopper said as he walked towards his table and wore his gloves. " yes finally these will be off. i bet my wounds are completely helad now, only a scar must be there. it will go away too in a day or so." jules was very happy to finally get rid of those movement restraining bandages.

chopper gently began to unwrap the bandages around my shoulder and then my waist and then my right leg. he cleaned the now exposed area with disinfectant and it was done. just as i said, there were only scars and they would be gone soon too. " there you go. all healed." chopper said sighing and discarding his one time use gloves.  

" thank you chopper. i feel so much better without the bandages now. especially my hand movement is finally free now." jules said moving around her hand in the ways she could before because of the bandages. chopper was about to say something when sound of loud crying was heard out side. jules knew that crying very well, it seemed that Rose has woken up. 

with a sigh, Jules opened the door and went out side to see what new morning tantrum Rose was throwing. what she saw out on the grassy deck was the funniest thing she had seen till now. it was Rose running around the deck crying and what made it funny was zoro who was walking in front of her trying to get away from her little hands. 

zoro was still very uncomfortable with Rose. not her presence or the fact that she was on the ship or anything like that. it was more like, zoro is not a very soft person and he didn't know how to act around Rose so he stayed away from her, but Rose being the social butterfly she is always tried to get attention from the swordsman. she had taken a curious interest in his swords and zoro was apparently unaware of it as he just kept on getting away from her never really observing. 

" hey you, get your daughter away from me. i dont know what to do with this brat." zoro said noticing Jules looking at the whole scene with an amused smile. "oh you cant be that bad with kids." jules said amused as she walked down the stairs and towards zero who was still getting away from Rose who was crying for his attention. " trust me he is not." replied Robin who was sitting on the beach chair nearby. zoro looked at her sharply gritting his teeth. " hey take your brat away from me." zoro looked back at jules and she just sighed and picked up Rose. 

" oh my little devil, did you sleep well?" jules kissed the chubby cheeks of the half sleepy half crying Rose. rose wiped her eyes and nodded. " did you have breakfast?" again the little girl just nodded. " good now lets get you fresh and ready for the day." jules said placing Rose down and holding her hand to lead her to the bathroom. but the little girl didn't move, just stared at her mother. 

" what happened, lets go." jules asked turning around and saw little Rose looking at her with aw. " mumma your booboo is gone." Rose said now all sleep forgotten and a huge smile on her face. jules's face reflected the smile of the little girls. she got on her knee to be at Rose's level and stared at the smiling face of her daughter for a second. " yes its gone now. completely." rose immediately hugged her mother happily giggling. "i am so happy mumma." rose pulled away and gave Jules a kiss on the cheek. " mumma can you fight now?" rose asked with big hopeful eyes. Jules hummed and nodded in response.

" yes i am excited to see you fight too. you must be very strong being the vice commander of 1st division of whitebeard pirates." ussop who was fishing by the railings was now curious. " well you tell me how strong i am when i fight." jules said picking up Rose and walking towards the bathroom.

Rose was nice and tidy and busy playing with chopper and ussop. jules was called in by nami in the library to discuss something. " hello nami you called?" jules said walking towards the orange-haired woman sitting by a desk full of maps. " oh your here, yes i needed to ask you something. we will soon reach an island and i have realised that you and Rose dont have any clothes except for the 3 clothes you wear. we gotta do some serious shopping. other than that Rose will probably need a lot of things and i need you to make a list of it all so i can make a budget." nami explained and then fixed her glasses. " okay I'll make a list and give it to you. oh this reminds me, i have a huge amount in the bank and i want to add that money to the crew's finances as i am part of the crew now." 

nami was confused for a moment there. " wait what do you mean money in bank?" she asked. " well i have an account in the bank and keep my money there.its actually a savings account." jules explained. " but how we are pirates? how did your documents get approved?" nami was very confused now, this was the first time she heard a pirate having a bank account. " its not that hard to forge documents. its registered by a fake name. me and Ace decided to add some part of our allowance to it so that we can use it when we decide to settle down or be on our own. besicaly future planning." nami was shocked and also inspired. she had never thought of this idea. ever. how did she not think of it? " well that's a great idea to save money for future or emergencies. this was your idea right?" nami gave her a knowing look. she didn't know ace much but could esliy tell though now exactly similar he and luffy were pretty much alike.

" yes it was." jule clucked and nami laughed. " these brothers are so similar. but i think Sabo is the smart one not like these nuckleheads." nami said thoughtfully. so far whatever she knew about the blond she could tell he must be the brains of the trio. " wait sabo, as in luffy and Ace's brother sabo?" jules had catched up on the mention of the blond's name. Ace had told her about him. the brother who died when they were just kids.
