After making it out of that treacherous singing trial, they were in open sea and taking a break to make repairs.

"Sheesh!"

"TO HELL WITH THAT ORANGUTAN!"

"He's gone and banged up this ship even more!" Usopp was squatting and repairing part of the railings that were blasted awkwardly. Chopper stood behind him holding a tool box.

Zoro was crisscrossed next to the main mast hammering down some metal wrapping to keep it in place, "This ship turned to tatters before I even realized it... Maybe it's time we got a new one?"

"THAT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY, YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD!"

Luffy turned from his spot, "Oh well, what's done is done, Usopp! The Going Merry's still an irreplaceable member in our crew, so let's give it our all and fix her up the best as possible!"

Usopp started tearing up at his short speech, "Luffy... Sniff! You really are a...-" Luffy hammered the wall using too much strength and busted a hole in it, making the whole railing collaspe.

"GOD DAMN IT, LUFFY!"

Faythe was sitting on the fixed rails snickering at the scene, "Next time you make a cool speech, Luffy. Make sure you leave it to people who can actually do it properly." She flipped a page in her letter.

Luffy turned to the red head with a pout on his face, "I don't see you helping out."

Faythe just rolled her eyes at his childishness, "I'm busy." she waved the papers in her hands in the air.

Luffy got up and dusted his pants, he then walked up the stairs to the second deck, "Doing what? Is it that book your making?"

Faythe shook her head, "It's a letter from Vivi."

"VIVI!?" Luffy exclaimed excitedly, "What'd she say!?" He quickly ran over to her and looked over her shoulder at the long writing.

Faythe snorted at his excitement, "She's doing well in her royal duties and sometimes wishes that she had came with us sometimes." She laughed, "Must be stressful."

"Maybe we should've taken her by force like Zoro said..." Luffy stuck lip out in thought.

Faythe lightly smacked his shoulder sternly, "Let's not do that and have a whole kingdom we saved after our asses."

"Taking back suggestion." Luffy stated nodding.

"Anyways, she says that she's hopping to see my book publish soon, that way she can be the first to read it and brag about knowing us to her friends in Alabasta." Faythe flipped the letter over to show Luffy who was leaning closer to get a better look.

"When are you going to be finished anyways?" Luffy looked over at her with his arms crossed over casually.

Fythe tapped her chin with her pen, "Well I'm hoping that I could add another adventure in my first book before ending it. Almost like this Skypiea Island we're going to soon." She grinned up at him.

Luffy grinned back, his straw hat shielding some of the sun out of her eyes, "That sounds cool! I can't wait for you to read it to me and Chopper when it's finished!" He then walked off whistling a happy tune.

Faythe watched him leave, a breeze hitting her red locks, "He seems eager..." She leaned on her elbow which was placed on her knee, "Oh well. Gotta write down the very interesting conversation I had with Luffy earlier about his family to Vivi."
