A day after the Straw Hats' adventure on Bonsatsu Island, the Going Merry sailed onward through clear waters with slightly cloudy skies overhead.

Luffy was as usual sitting on the figurehead, "Hey, what kind of island is gonna show up next?" he wondered. "Is it gonna snow again?"

"I believe the next island will be an Autumn Island," Robin replied from where she was relaxing on Nami's lounge chair while reading Y/N's book on legendary treasures. She was still wearing Y/N's pants but also a pair of Nami's sandals and a colorful blouse. "From what I've heard you've been to a Pre-Historic Jungle Island, a Winter Island, a Summer Island, and the last one was a Spring Island. The islands in the Grand Line aren't in any particular order but each chain of islands usually has one island of each type."

"Awww... but snow's so coool!" Luffy complained.

"Haven't you had enough snow?" Nami asked as she came out of the storage room wearing a white spaghetti strap top that was lined in blue and bared her arms and tattoo as well as one of her yellow skirts.

"No," Luffy answered, "But I like Autumn Islands too."

Nami shook her head and went over to Y/N, Zoro, and Chopper who were sitting against the side of the ship and appeared to be watching the small white clouds overhead. She squeezed in between Y/N and Zoro and was pleased that the green-haired swordsman didn't object, only to find that he'd actually fallen asleep at some point while cloud-gazing.

"Just so we're clear," Nami stated, "Zoro was the one who got me to give back your safe because it was his plan. Although, I was going to give it back if you asked nicely, I'd much rather have you be in charge of paying for everything then have to spend my money on the crew's expenses. But unless Zoro wants to join our Swindling War, that one doesn't count." Despite being asleep, Zoro shivered at the thought.

"I understand," Y/N replied, "I'm also letting you keep the money you stole from my pocket when I was unconscious."

"You'd better," Nami said, "'Cause I've given Sanji permission to savagely beat anyone other than Robin that touches my clothes."

"That one looks like a Lapin!" Chopper called out as he pointed up at a cloud in the sky.

"I don't see it," Y/N commented as his eye narrowed in a half-squint.

"That's because of your lack of depth perception," Nami told him.

"Well I've only got one good eye," Y/N pointed out.

Nami leaned against him and pointed her arm up into the air in front of him, "Can you see how the side of that cloud over there curves around a little? Chopper's looking at it from profile view and that's its back."

"Oh, okay, I think I see it now," Y/N realized, then he glanced over at Nami, "How do you remember what the Lapins looked like? I thought you were asleep."

"Not completely," Nami answered, "but I was pretty out of it at the time. I took a peek while you guys were running from them."

The galley door swung opened and Sanji and Usopp stepped out onto the deck. "We're finally done taking inventory," Sanji announced. "Despite Luffy destroying the refrigerator, we have enough food preserved to last us two days. I'm hoping we'll reach another island within that time so we can restock."

"THEN LET'S EAT!" Luffy exclaimed.

"NOT A CHANCE!" Usopp snapped. "YOU'RE THE REASON WE'RE IN THIS MESS TO BEGIN WITH!"

"Huh... I don't remember destroying the refrigerator," Luffy remarked, "but I do remember Sanji saying we had enough food to last two days."

"HE JUST SAID THAT!" Usopp yelled.
