I scrub the ship of any imperfections. I furrow my brows and make sure it's correct. Merry, the man who looks like a mammal, looks over my shoulder. "Very nice Kaimira. You are doing a grand job here." No one knew who I was. I changed my last name to Neoni. Kaimira Neoni. But Mihawk ran through my bloodline.

Ussop was working on top of the ship. "You know, I worked on a bigger ship than this!" I hum and look to him. "Yeah? What was the name?" I look back to my work and start to apply the cover to the ship. "Didn't have a name." I look up to him and raise my eyebrows. "A ship with no name? Must be a terrifying vessel." I play into his lies because I've heard the story of his mother. It makes me feel bad for him. He grew up alone and by himself.

I wipe my hands on the loose black pants and cross my arms. My white tank top tucked into my shirt has stains from working. My hair back with a scarf. Ussop moves to another ship, the one with a sheep as the figure. I continue my job and glance to ussop talking to a group. I furrow my brows at the boy with the straw hat. The hat looks familiar. I've seen it before I just can't place my finger on it. Ussop starts making his way past. "Mira. We are going to see Kaya." I nod and look to him. "I'll cover for you." The boy with the straw hat looks to me. "You should come with us!" I furrow my brows and then raise one. "Yeah. You should. Kaya has asked where my second hand is." I relax my face and squint my eyes slightly.

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy. This is Nami and Zoro." I nod. "Kaimira." I nod once. "Come on. It's also Kaya's birthday tomorrow." I take a breath. "Fine fine. I'll go." I drop the paintbrush and wipe my hands to my pants. We start walking until we make it to Kaya's home. It's extravagant. One could only dream of living here. I had some luxuries working with my brother but only little ones.

We are stopped by Buchi and Sham. The cook and the maid. "Ms. Kaya is too sick for your games Ussop. Too sick for you and your friends." Ussop puts his hands on his hips and I cross my arms as I stand to the back. "She doesn't have time for your funny little stories." I clear my throat and tilt my head to the side. Kaya comes out and looks to us. "Ussop!" She steps to us and gives him a hug. "Mira!" She speaks and I give a slight smile. "Hello Kaya." She is quick to question me.  "You have not been here in a long time. Why don't you visit?" I look to Ussop then Kaya. I give her the benefit of the doubt knowing she is dying. "I stay with the ship. Make sure everything is clear. Don't want anyone to come steal our stuff." I go with Ussops lies. I don't mind them. They take me elsewhere other than here.

"I was able to get away today." The amount of dirt and dust on me is abundant that I was partly lying. "Are these your friends? It is my birthday tomorrow, would you stay with me tonight and celebrate?" I look up and that's when Klahadore steps from the house. "Ms. Kaya, you must come inside." His face changes when he sees a group of people. "Klahadore. Prepare the table. We are having guests." He fixes his glasses with the palm of his hand and we follow them inside. The house is the same extravaganza it was before. Kaya looks to us. "Please feel free to get dressed and cleaned up. I want everyone to look nice." We are led to a room lined and lavished with clothing but Ussop follows Kaya to her room.
