"He stopped screaming" Shachi mentions as he fishes by the cliff along with the others. Penguin then wondered where Luffy went and was concerned about his health. A gust of wind blew and some sense of a disturbance in the sea. Using a binocular, Penguin looks at the distance and noticed a sea king seemingly engaged in a battle.

A huge wave appeared, later the sea king's body floated and did not move so they presumed that it was dead. A moment later, a man emerged from the sea and made his way up the bay where they were.

"Dark King Rayleigh!!" They exclaimed upon looking closer at the man who arrived.

"Oh, it's you guys. We met at Sabaody Archipelago. Well, my ship sank in the storm and I had no choice but to swim." Rayleigh states as he sees the Heart Pirated.

"Storm?! The Calm Belt is always calm- it's never rough! There shouldn't be a storm!" Penguin says nervously.

"That means his ship wrecked further away and he swam all the way here?!" Shachi concludes with disbelief.

"Oh yeah! I assume Luffy-kun must be here on this island." Rayleigh states as he squeezes the water out of his clothes.

"What a waste! We got that far..." Penguin mutters.

"I wanted to get in the female-only empire." Shachi voices out.

"They were allowing bears in." Bepo added making the two annoyed and asked him to shut up. Bepo quickly fell depressed and apologized to them.

Law was sitting by the control room with his feet up and his hands behind his head. He wondered what the Dark King Rayleigh was up to and was sure that "D." would cause a storm once again. This made him quite excited to meet them again.

"Captain, can I talk to you for a moment?" Y/n says, standing right behind him and waiting for his response.

"What is it, Y/n-ya?" Law asked, not moving from his position.

"I'm leaving the crew-" Y/n says.

"HUH?!" All the members who were present at that time reacted with pure shock. Some began to protest while Bepo ran to her and tackled her down while crying.

"I-Is it because I always eat your fish?!" Bepo cried, hugging her tight.

"Or maybe because we always laugh at you when you slip and fall?!" Shachi and Penguin asked as they also clung to her like little kids.

"You guys are too noisy. Let her talk." Law ordered as Y/n shook the thre off of her and dusted off her clothes.

"I want to train myself for a while. After I got a glimpse of the war at Marineford, I realized that my skills alone wouldn't be any help in the New World. I'm weak, my powers aren't that much of a help in battle and my skills are still lacking. After collecting a hundred hearts, our captain would be a Warlord of the sea and we'd have more powerful enemies. I did promise to follow you as my captain but is that really enough? If Luffy who is much more powerful than me lost someone he cherishes so easily, then what about me? That's why I decided to part from you for a while and improve myself so I can be useful to our captain and...to protect everyone in this crew." She answers which leaves many of her fellow crew members in tears while Law holds a smirk on his face.

"You've become different from who you were two years ago, Y/n-ya. But even so, during those two years, you've always been useful to me and protected everyone in the crew. You're already strong but I won't stop you from getting even more stronger. But answer this question first...Y/n-ya, what happened to the goals you wanted to achieve before you joined us?" Law asks as he finally turns around and faces her with a serious face.
