I don't own One Piece. If I did, this arc would be cannon.

"Gold~! Gold~! Gold~!"

You rolled your eyes at the group of idiots chanting around the decently sized mound of gold. How could they be inside with a view like this? Sure, Cloud End had thrown you off a bit. You hadn't expected to literally fall off the end of the white white sea after all. But now that Merry was falling at a reasonable pace, thanks to the Octo-balloon thing that had secured itself to the ship, it was quite relaxing.

You yawned, massaging your jaw to try and counteract your ears popping.

"Not a big fan of treasure I see." Robin hummed, leaning on the railing next to you.

"I guess you could say that." It was getting late, the sun turning the undersides of the clouds a soft orange glow. You'd never experienced a sunset this high up before. Hopefully it was as good as you hoped it would be. "I never really got an allowance or anything, so buying things isn't something I'm all that interested in. Besides, if the others really want something then I don't mind giving up my share."

She chuckled, "I see. Then we are much the same, aren't we?"

"It wouldn't surprise me," you grinned back, jerking your thumb to where Zoro snored on the deck, "Come join the club."

"Would you ever like to spend money, Missy?"

'I don't know.' You paused for a moment, trying to think of the words. 'It depends. I enjoyed buying alcohol with Raoul, so maybe that's what I want to spend it on. It's so much fun to see everyone enjoy a drink they love after all.'

He fell silent. You called him multiple times, but he never answered. Maybe fixing your lung was taking more energy than he'd anticipated.

A warm breeze ruffled your hair.

Robin frowned, holding a finger in the air. Turning inside, "Miss Navigator? Where is the ship headed?"

Nami chuckled, "Where? The next island of..." Finally glancing down at the Log, her face paled.

You preemptively stuck your fingers in your ears.

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

A herd of people sprinted out of the galley.

"What, what!?"

"What's up?"

"What's happened, Nami-san?"

Her teeth ground together, "Damn it. We hit an air current and we're getting blown off course!"

That explained the bit of wind.

"Come to think of it," Sanji hummed, watching his cigarette smoke get drifted to the side, "I do feel a breeze."

Luffy cocked his head, "Is that bad?"

"Of course it is!" Nami snapped, "Now we don't know where we'll land!"

"Not like we can do anything about it though," you pointed up to the large pink orb that hung above the Merry, "Thanks to the octopus balloon we can't use the sails. If we can't use the sails we can't control ourselves."

"Can't you use Mello to make a propeller, (y/n)? Pretty please?"

"Not while Big Sis is repairing her lung!" He glared at you, "And don't even say it's fine!"

"I... okay..."

"So we're out of options," she sighed, banging her head against the railing, "Great. Just great."
