I woke up, tired and feeling sick. I sat up and looked around to see where I was. The room I was in was an infirmary, though a small one. 'This must be where they set Chopper up.' I got out of bed and opened the door.

I walked around to see the crew setting the ship for docking.

"We're finally here!" A seemingly exhausted voice sounded. I could tell it was Luffy's voice.

"Wow! So we're going into the desert? Does anyone know how hot it's supposed to get?" Chopper's adorable voice squeaked. 

I walked up and joined the crew. Karu was gone but seemingly replaced by... Ace? I didn't say anything when I walked up, and they didn't know I was there.

"Over 100 degrees in the daytime," Nami answered Chopper, seeming calm.

"WHAT?!" Chopper yelped, "Please tell me you're joking!" I heard the two walking up behind us and I turned around to join their conversation.

"Don't worry Chopper! I'll bring lots of water just for you!" Hearing my voice made them a little happier, and I felt eyes on me from behind.

Sanji ran up behind me and yelled at Nami "Nami! What happened?! Where is your dancer outfit?!" He turned and saw Vivi was dressed the same as Nami, in a long cloak with a hood-like shape around the neck. Looked comfy, maybe they have one for me.

Vivi explained that they changed because they didn't want to get sunburned. She turned to Luffy and gave him a pair of clothes she was holding, then turned and walked over to me. She gave me a dark red colored cloak and hood, the same design as her only the same color as Luffy's cloak.

I slid the cloak over my current clothes, which was a simple t-shirt and shorts, and turned to the railing where Luffy watching something.

I leaned on the rail next to him, and he got excited when he saw that we were matching. I giggled and agreed until I saw what he was looking at over the railing.

"Kung Fu Dugongs!" I and Vivi yelled in unison.

"If you wanna come ashore, you're gonna have to beat me first! But I doubt that'll happen, ya bunch of cowards." I turned to Chopper on my right with stars in my eyes.

"Woah! Chopper is that what the Kung Fu Dugong is saying?!" I got on his level and looked at him hopefully.

"Yeah! Since I was originally an animal, I can tell what they're saying!"

"You're so cool, Chopper!" I hugged him and he just blushed and told me that complimenting him won't make him feel better. The classic 'Chopper line'.

Usopp put a foot on the rail and spoke. "No one calls me a coward and gets away with it!" I'm sure Usopp thought he could take them because they were seals, but boy was he mistaken.

"Usopp!" I yelled after him as he jumped off the Merry and to the animal who spoke. He got beat up. Bad.

I turned to Luffy, "Should I bring him back with my devil fruit?"

He immediately got off of the ship and beat up one of the Kung Fu Dugongs. I have to admit, I was impressed, but I should've expected it. His bounty is 30 million after all.

The Dugong that Luffy beat got up from its spot on the floor and bowed to Luffy, as in a Taekwondo bow. I jumped down with Luffy and stood beside him, against what Vivi was yelling behind me. The Dugong looked up with sparkles in its eyes and Luffy just looked confused.

"SO CUTE AH!" I got down and hugged the Dugong, who graciously accepted it. I was blabbering about how cute he was until I noticed the rest of them were bowing to Luffy as well.
