The Roger Pirates were gathered on the deck, the excitement palpable as they prepared to set sail for the last island. The crew was buzzing with anticipation, but amidst the excitement, a commotion erupted. Buggy, his face flushed and red, suddenly collapsed. Yuna, quick to react, caught him before he hit the floor.

"Buggy's burning up with a fever!" Yuna shouted, her voice filled with urgency. "Captain!, you can't take him like this!"

The crew hurried to the infirmary where Buggy was lying on a cot, visibly weak and sweating. He looked up at Roger with pleading eyes. "Please, Captain, take me with you! I'm fine now!"

Shanks, trying to keep Buggy from getting up, said firmly, "You caught a cold before a big adventure. Are you a kid? Just stay here and rest."

"Shut up!" Buggy yelled back, struggling to sit up. "I said I'm fully recovered!"

Shanks, with a frown, countered, "Your face is still red, and you still have a fever. Just relax and stay here.

Buggy, confused, misinterpreted Shanks' words. "Did you say 'big nose' and 'red nose'?!"

Shanks' face turned to him with an annoyed face. "No, that's not-"

Before he could finish, Buggy's confusion turned into anger, and the two began arguing loudly. Yuna, her patience wearing thin, released a dark aura that surrounded her, causing the surrounding crew members to step back in fear. With a swift, commanding gesture, she struck both Shanks and Buggy.

Shanks was left with a large red bump on his head, while Buggy slumped back into unconsciousness. The infirmary fell silent, except for Roger's nervous laughter as he watched the chaos unfold.

"Well," Roger said with a chuckle, "It looks like we have to sort this out before we set sail."

That night, the infirmary was quiet except for Buggy's steady breathing. Yuna and Shanks stood by his side, with Roger and Oden also present.

Oden looked concerned. "Are you sure it's alright for Akataro and Yunako to stay behind with Buggyjiro? We need all hands on deck for the final journey."

Shanks nodded resolutely. "Captain, Oden-san, If we're going to reach the last island, we will go with our own ship one day."

Yuna, her gaze warm and reassuring, wrapped her arms around Shanks's arm. "I'll be here with Shanks, Shanks.... Shanks is the one to teach me how to trust someone again, being loved, I will be with him forever, Captain!."

Roger smiled, his expression one of understanding and approval and pat Shanks and Yuna's head. "I'm proud."

With the decision made, Shanks and Yuna settled into their roles, preparing to help Buggy recover fully. Roger and Oden left to make final preparations, their thoughts already on the adventure that awaited them.

Yuna and Shanks together see Roger Pirates taking their leave as Yuna holding Shanks's hands. Her actions making Shanks gone all red and look at her, his face matching with his hair

" Shanks.... Together Forever? "

Shanks smile as he hold her hands tighter, " Together Forever "

Three weeks had passed since the Roger Pirates set off, leaving Yuna, Shanks, and Buggy behind to help Buggy recover. The small bar they sat in was lively, but Buggy, as usual, was focused entirely on the plate of food in front of him. Yuna sat across from him, casually eating her own meal.

"Slow down, Buggy," Yuna warned with a slight smirk as Buggy devoured his food like a man starved.

But Buggy, too excited to listen, suddenly started choking. His face turned red as he gasped for breath. Yuna quickly jumped up, rushing to his side and thumping his back until he coughed out the food. "I told you to slow down!" she scolded, half laughing as Buggy finally caught his breath.

Just as things calmed down, Shanks burst through the door of the bar, panting and wide-eyed. "Yuna! Buggy! You won't believe this... They're back! The Roger Pirates—they've come back!"

Yuna and Buggy froze. A wave of shock and excitement hit them all at once. "What?!" they exclaimed in unison.

"They're at the port right now!" Shanks yelled, already turning to run back out.

Yuna and Buggy didn't need any more convincing. They jumped up and followed Shanks, sprinting toward the port as fast as they could. As they reached the docks, they saw the familiar sight of the Oro Jackson anchored, and the full Roger Pirates crew standing tall and proud.

Without hesitation, Yuna ran faster than she ever had before. Her heart was pounding as she saw Captain Roger, his smile as wide as the sea. She threw her arms around him, hugging him tightly, tears streaming down her face. "Captain!" she cried, her voice shaking with relief and joy.

Roger laughed, patting her head gently. "It's good to see you too, Yuna."

Shanks wasn't far behind, and he too leaped into Roger's embrace, unable to hold back his own tears. "Captain, you did it... You're the King of the Pirates!"

Roger smiled warmly at both of them, but before he could say anything, Buggy sprinted past and headed straight for Rayleigh. "Rayleigh!" he yelled, throwing his arms around the first mate. "You're back! You're all back!"

Rayleigh chuckled, ruffling Buggy's hair. "Missed us, huh?"

The port was filled with laughter, tears, and the overwhelming joy of reunion. The Roger Pirates had returned victorious, and their bonds were stronger than ever.

Roger knelt down slightly to meet their gazes, and with a serious tone, he began to speak. "There's something I need to tell you three... and the rest of the crew soon."

Shanks, still wiping his tears, looked up with confusion. "What is it, Captain?"

Buggy, too emotional to speak, just stared, his face still red from crying earlier, while Yuna's grip tightened on Roger's sleeve, sensing something was wrong.

Roger paused, taking a deep breath. "This will be our last voyage together... and after it, we'll go our separate ways."

Yuna and Shanks looked at him, wide-eyed and stunned by his words, though they didn't fully grasp the meaning yet. Buggy, overwhelmed with emotion, tried to speak but no words came out.

Roger smiled gently, patting Shanks and Yuna on their heads. "It's not time for goodbyes yet, but when the time comes, I want you all to be ready. The sea still holds a lot for each of you."
Yuna blinked back tears, her voice trembling. "Captain... why? Why are you saying this now?"

Roger's eyes softened. "You'll understand soon enough. For now, enjoy this moment."

Shanks, though shaken, tried to hold himself together. "We've still got time, right, Captain?"

Roger nodded, his smile returning. "Yes, we've still got time. But remember what I said."

After their last sail, tears from their eyes were always stick with them. And with that
