Trafalgar's Apartment 

Airi sat on the sofa with Kid who played on his own. "I wasn't expecting you'd be hanging around him", Trafalgar served a hot tea. Airi was caught by the fragrant smell. "I see, you're a huge fan of lemon", Airi commented. "Shut it", Trafalgar sat on his computer chair. 

"She's clean. If you put a litter box, she knows where to drop her mess", Airi pointed out. "I still need the landlor-", Trafalgar was interrupted. "I already asked for permission from him", Airi informed. He sighed. "I don't have time to take care of a cat", Trafalgar shot a glare at the cat who just gave a meow. "Also, I hate its sassy behavior", Trafalgar leaned on his table. "I went on the street and looked for signs someone is looking for her but I haven't seen one", Airi said in a soft voice. "If there's a notification, bring it back right away", Trafalgar clicked his tongue. 

"What made you so long to answer her?", Kid had a sly smile. Airi stood and bowed very low. "Whatever. If you're done, you can now leave", Trafalgar motioned his hand towards the door. Airi went near Trafalgar's bed and gave the cat a pat. "Sorry, I can't stay longer with you", she gave her a peck on the head. "Eustass-san, thank you. I'll make sure to make amends", Airi also bowed to the man. "No worries, young lady. You can call me anytime", Eustass had a huge smile. "Then, I'll get going", she gave a slight wave. 

As soon as the door was closed, Trafalgar searched through the computer for cat food. "Look who's not interested", Kid had a short laugh. "Why are you with her?", Trafalgar suddenly turned serious. "She was standing alone in front of a pet shop near my house. I bet she doesn't want to surrender the cat. We met by coincidence so I suggested she bring the cat to your place", Kid explained. "Is she your type? Then, don't make me your excuse to hang out with her", Trafalgar continued scrolling on his mouse. The cat suddenly jumped on his lap. "Who knows? She's an interesting girl. For some reason, she reminds me of you", Kid made an association. "Idiot. Anyways..", Trafalgar threw an invitation card to Kid who caught it. 

Kid's eyes widened. "Are you sure about this?", Kid nearly choke. "Want to be the best man?", Trafalgar said in a bored tone. Kid just laughed uncontrollably. 

Park

"A typical place to be the meeting place", Nami looked at her watch. "You're early", Ussop called to her. "I happened to buy something along the way", Nami explained. "Then, I wonder why Luffy called us out of the blue", Ussop looked suspicious. Chopper and Carrot arrived together. "Did he call the Student Council? It's summer vacation, though", Ussop noticed the group. "I guess not. Why are those two here as well", Nami pointed at Zoro and Sanji arguing. 

"Oh, Zoro! Sanji!", Ussop waved at the two. In the distance, Chopper and Carrot saw the black-haired lady. "Isobe-san!!", Carrot called her attention. She joined the group. "Luffy called me to come here just a moment ago", Airi informed. "I wonder what's his deal", Nami shook her head. After a while, a white can stops in front of them. They were all dragged inside. 

"Let's go and visit the beach!", Luffy announced. The group was startled. 

"Oh, did he forget to tell you why he called everybody?", Ivancov peeked from the driver's seat. "Who are you?!", the rest of the group asked except Airi who doesn't care, and Sanji who seemed to be stunned. "Dragon has a friend named Mihawk, he has a vacation resort", Ivancov informed. "I don't even have clothes with me", Nami complained. "How about snacks?!", Carrot whined. "With this moss head? I'm going to spend time with this moss head?!", Sanji was annoyed. Airi was just silent. 

"I bet Principal already sent a letter to your mother", Ussop saw Airi's fidgety behavior.
