A little time passed when they returned to the others waiting for them, after Chopper and Kei had returned. Everyone had began changing into their knew clothes. However, the guys only really needed to through theirs over their clothing while the three females had to go and change completely. "Ah, this is gorgeous!" Nami seemed to love the clothing that Sanji brought back. "I love stuff like this." "About the errands we asked you to do, Sanji..." Vivi on the other hand seemed a tad embarrassed as she was pointing to herself while looking over to the one that brought it. "Isn't this... a dance girl's-?" "Isn't it lovely? It looks great on you!" The cook had cut her off as he was gushing over her. "But I asked you for clothes like the citizens wear..." she was trying to tell him. "Dancing girls are citizens, too~!" He responded with that. "But walking on the desert..." She tried to explain the problem with them. "Don't worry! If you get tired, I'll carry you~" but he wasn't hearing anything. "It's no use talking to him." She had finally given up. "Arf arf." (That guy's a lost cause) Kei had spoken as he had leaped onto Hinata's shoulder after she had changed.

"Well these are nice." She had stated to the little fox as she twirled around looking at herself. "But, you know, compared to the girls, you dorks still like like a couple of thieves!" This had been stated by Sanji as her was looking down at Zoro and Usopp stuffing their faces with food. "And which are you?" In response Zoro asked this to him since he looked no different than they did. "Chopper, what are you doing?" Usopp came to ask this upon noticing the reindeer laying on his back with his hooves covering his nose. "My nose is gonna fall off." He replayed while not trying to breathe. "Oh yeah, where did you and Kei go?" It seemed that Sanji suddenly remembered the fact that the two had disappeared together. "Arf arf." (No where important) Kei came to respond to the question as he was also blocking his nose with his paws. "Are they feeling sick?" Seeing how to two of them were acting, Nami came to ask this. "Well, they both have sensitive noses so the perfume is very affected to them." The one that had come to answer was Hinata as she was flattering her fan, causing the scent to not be as potent for Kei. "Perfume?" But hearing this she didn't quite understand until she began smelling herself. "Oh this." "Some aromas are quite pungent." The one that explained this had been Vivi. "Like this one?" Nami was grinning as she had began spraying the perfume on herself. "Hey, cut it out!" Chopper sat up in tears as he pleaded for her to stop. "Arf arf arf!!" (You damn human woman!!) While Kei looked like he was ready to attack her. "Ah, to the bottom of the abyss, my Mellorine love~!" And then there was Sanji that was acting like a complete different type of animal. "What a yutz." Until this had come out of his arch nemesis' lips as he began drinking some whine. "HUH!?" "Anyway, that means we've got all the stuff we need... to get on with our original goal, right?" The snipper had continued onto the main topic at hand. "Yes." Vivi came to nod in agreement as she spoke. "You said Yuba was where we're headed next, right?" Nami asked to make sure she remembered it correctly. "Yes, that's right." Which it had been but the princess appeared a but worried. "But to get there we have to cross the desert. It may prove a more formidable journey than any of you can imagine. You can never be sure of what will happen. One wrong step, and nothing can guarantee your life... out on the land of scorching heat." Everyone was sitting in silence as they waited for her to finish. "I still have worries about taking everyone through such a place, but... I want to restore peace to this land. So... So, I would like to make another request. Everyone! Please lend me all of your strength! Please...!" "You finally said it." Hearing this coming from behind her, Vivi turned around shocked to see Nami winking with her thump up. "We've been waiting for that." "Not knowing what's gonna happen next is just like sailing the sea, eh Vivi?" The cook was smirking at her as he reminded her of this fact. "Yeah, nothing we haven't dealt with before." The swordsman had stood up speaking as he put his swords back on his waist. "I'm looking forward to seeing the desert." The doctor came to innocently state this to the duck beside him. "We might be new but this sounds interesting, so you can count on us." The newest member of the crew spoke as she had her fan covering her lower face. "Arf!" (That's right!) while her fox raised his paw in agreement to her statement. "Alright, guys! Raise your spirits, we're headin' to Yuba!" The Snipper stood up shouting as they were ready to set out once again. "AYE!" They all realised their arms together that had the bandages wrapped around them. "Everyone..." the princess looked like she was ready to cry as she was over come with happiness. However, silence had suddenly hanged over the group as if something was missing. "Aren't we missing someone?" Usopp came to asked this question to the others after a moment of silence and all at once they knew exactly who. "LUFFY!?" The most important member of their group, their captain. "That numbskull!"
