As the shark swims higher and higher, Luffy gets more and more excited. "Yahoooo" he yells standing up, "Don't fall off" Neptune said , "Neptune"

"Whale" the whale Neptune was riding on says, "shark....shark" I frown, this is a very odd crew......they're just saying random things. "Jamon, Jamon" Neptune sings to himself, he swings from side to side ever so slightly making me giggle.

For a minute or two after that we all fell silent, letting the wind whip my hair around my face. I tilt my head back and look at the sea beyond, it was so normal here, that I almost forgot we were thousands of feet underwater. "What's that chant your singing old man" Luffy asks laughing, "it sounds so dumb" I groan and put my face in my hands.

Pappug cries out and runs up to Luffy at the front of the shark hitting him on the shoulder. "No, that's rude! Straw Hat you bastard! Terrifying! You're terrifying!" I roll my eyes, so over dramatic.

Neptune starts to laugh, "Megalo, that shark, is a pet that my daughter loves dearly" he pauses for a minute, "I wasn't aware that he was attacked by the kracken. Thank you for saving him from danger, Jamon"

When the hell did all this happen! I don't remember any of this!! Luffy sits down and laughs, kicking his feet back and forward, "we didn't mean to but i'm glad Megalo's ok"

"So he's the mermaid princesses pet" Pappug asks

I jump as Brook swing his head down next to mine, "Pappug-san, I thought you had said you were best friends with the mermaid princess" I cough and frown,

"When did all this happen! When I was looking another way" frustrated I cross my arms over my chest. Pappug puts his.......arm I guess.......over his lips, "shush shush"

"so you lied to us" Brook asks, I snicker as Pappug eyes grow wide, "any way I feel bad for Sanji-kun......he really wanted to see the mermaid princess.....more than anyone"

Sanji who I had figured out from Luffy and Caime, had gotten a VERY bad nosebleed from being overwhelmed with the mermaids. He was now with Chopper and the two doners that had given blood to Sanji. I hum to myself and stretch, pain shot up my side and I bend over, "shit, never mind, no stretching"

I look back down at my side which was now bleeding again, no one seemed to notice, and I let out a relived breath. As they carried on their conversation, I let my thoughts drift to some old friends of mine. One in particular popped up because of my side, Sairento Murderer, a friend that I had made while on the island for two years.

A wanted criminal and a cold blooded killer, yeah, haha, no! She has killed but the one thing that I found really funny was that she fainted at the sight of her own blood. She had become known about the time Luffy came for me, and had started his "career".

I pull myself from my thoughts, "I have already invited one of your friends" Neptune says, "He is a swordsman. He started drinking right when he came to the banquet" an image of Zoro popped up in my mind and my heart slammed against my ribs, painfully so. "I think his name was"

"Is it Zoro" Usopp asks

"must be Zoro" Nami adds 

"Zori"

"Its Zoro" Nami, Usopp and I all get up. I cry out as we all end up blowing backwards, Usopp garbs on to the shark's tail and I grab onto Usopp while Nami grabs onto my foot.

"My soilders will bring the rest of your friends don't worry, Jamon" Nami starts to climb over me and Usopp and I climb over Usopp. Turning around I stick my hand out for Usopp to grab, "hey Nami.....don't you know where the rest of them went" Luffy asks as we make our way back on the shark.

**********************

"hey by the way Grandpa"

"Don't call him that" Pappug yells, I jump as Pappug bites Nami on the head, and she doesn't even care? I stare at Nami and shrug , she throws Pappug at Usopp and kicks him. I laugh for a while and Usopp and Brook watch me, look at each other and watch me some more.

" I can see the family resemblance" I stop laughing and glare at him, "whats that supposed to mean"

"You and Luffy are a lot alike" 

"Like hell we are" I yell and draw a dagger out, pointing it at Usopp. "Hairy old man, I'm hungry" Luffy says looking at his stomach. "See" i yell throwing my arms at Luffy, "Nothing"

***************

We all sat in a bubble as King Neptune got yelled at, "let's have the banquet already" Luffy says stomach grumbling. "I want something to drink" I mutter under my breath, "and to see him, i've waited for two whole years and we got separated again"

I glower at the floor, cussing under my breath. Ignoring the conversation that was going on with King Neptune, I sniffed the air, "he's here all right" 

"Where did Luffy go" I turn around ad sure enough Luffy was gone just like Nami said. "Shit" I snarl and shift into a wolf, he's this way. I start to run after Luffy, as I run out of the bubble a smaller bubble surrounds me. A burning sensation hits my side as my legs stretch in front of me. I cuss as my blood fills the bottom of the bubble.

I frown as I get to a certain part of the castle where there was no water. I give a wolfish shrug and continue on my way after Luffy.

As I race through the corridors I get closer to the smell of Luffy and the smell of food. I race past a room and skid to a halt, following the sound of crying into a room. Shifting into my human form I see a beautiful mermaid crying with Luffy on her bed.

"Oi, what's wrong with you" Luffy yells.

"What'd you do"I cry out.
