Cafeteria 

"This place is huge. It's nowhere close to where I came from", Rebecca commented while looking at the packed cafeteria. "You said you moved here because of your father's work. I hope you'll adjust well", Coby gave a friendly smile. "Thank you, Coby. By the way, the lady in front of me. She looks like an ace student", Rebecca was referring to Airi. "Oh, Vice-pres? She is indeed an ace student. She ranked one since the first year", Coby said with excitement. "That's pressuring to know then. I'm just behind her and her oozing atmosphere is affecting me", Rebecca chuckled. 

She saw a familiar figure and left Coby narrating about how Airi was like an icy presence that freezes people when they approached her carelessly. 

Rebecca sat in front of Trafalgar who is eating a rice ball while reading a book. "Sensei, we met again", Rebecca gave a huge smile. "Oh, how is your father?", Trafalgar looked at her for a brief moment then back to the book. "He's doing fine. Thank you for visiting the room that day. I felt really scared and alone. Are you working here as well?", Rebecca tilted her head. "Part-time. I'll soon be having my exam", Trafalgar felt obligated to answer. "I just transferred here. Father's assigned location changed", Rebecca informed. Trafalgar closed the book. "Have a great time here then. Don't get sick", Trafalgar stood up. "Yes, sensei. See you around", Rebecca waved at him. 

Nami and Airi were watching the girls hiding at the posts gritting their teeth. "Is that the transferee? I won't wonder if she'll be bullied in her first week. That was a bold move to talk to Law-san alone and in public", Nami sighed. Rebecca looked behind and saw Airi. She awkwardly waved at her as well. "She's waving at you", Nami elbowed Airi. The raven head just raised her hand. It surprised Rebecca and finally gave a wider smile. 

Student Council Office- After Class

"Hey! Luffy. Start cleaning as well!", Ussop said while holding the duster. "Really? I will still be the president so why do we have to?", Luffy whined. "You can never be sure. What if some kind of miracle happens and you were kicked out of the position", Ussop nodded. "What kind of miracle is that?!", Luffy had a wrestling competition with Ussop. 

The three ladies entered as well. "Just think of it as a cleaning operation", Airi started moving some boxes. "I also called some people who can help", Nami pointed at Zoro and Sanji who are arguing while walking towards the office. 

They started cleaning and saw a lot of random things probably brought by Luffy. 

"When did we have an aquarium with two octopuses?", Chopper hid behind Carrot while the octopus crawled out. 

"Not to mention these bugs", Nami held a box filled with beetles. Ussop and Chopper gulped. "Don't throw them, please", Luffy joined the two as they begged Nami to leave them alone. 

"Ahhh! No wonder I smelled something bad last time", Carrot opened the locker with unwashed dishes. "Luffy!!!", Nami went berserk and slapped Luffy's head big time. 

"Hey. Someone grew carrots inside the locker!", Ussop raised his hand. 

The group started to have a riot. Airi silently sorts out papers. At some point, she saw a huge photobook. She scanned and saw a lot of memories of the Council. Even Vivi's photos were there. She smiled knowing that only one person would bother to keep something sentimental. 

"Then, should we throw this out as well?", she raised the photobook. Nami flushed and stole it right away. "Ah! You're also keeping a personal item", Luffy pointed at the orange head. "It's not personal. I was keeping documentation!", Nami reasoned. "Since it's our last day, why don't we just look at them", Carrot suggested. "Like a closing ceremony?", Airi asked innocently.
