Soon everyone was standing face to face with Nami who was standing along with Nojiko outside her house. Guilt was clearly written in her eyes as she was finding it hard to make eye contact with everyone there.

“Guys…I’m So-, “

Nami who was about to apologize was stopped mid-way by Luffy.

“NAMI!” Luffy paused for a few seconds which made Nami anxious because of how serious his face was looking but her worry was for nothing as a second later, there was a cheerful expression on Luffy’s face as he said “Welcome back!”

Hearing that, Nami couldn’t help but be glad in her heart that she had not only been forgiven but also accepted by them. Nami glanced towards Usopp who nodded back at her to reassure her that everything was alright.

Tears slowly emerged from her eyes as she said with a smile while looking at all the crew members, “Thank you for accepting me,”

“Hehe, you’re our navigator, why would we not accept you?” Luffy said before he placed his hands on his stomach which had just growled, “Do you guys have some food?”

Hearing this a smile formed on Nami’s face and it was the same for Nojiko. “Come inside, I’ll prepare a feast for you all while you catch up with Nami,” Nojiko said which made Luffy cheer in delight as he followed her inside the house.

“Hey Sanji, what are you standing there for let’s go,” Zoro said when he noticed that Sanji was still standing where he was without moving but on closer observation, he realized he shouldn’t have worried.

Sanji with a pervasive smile on his face looked towards Nojiko’s behind as she walked inside the house and said to Zoro “Who knew Nami Swann would have a sister as beautiful as her,”

Zoro shook his head seeing this and went inside leaving Sanji to his own devices as for Usopp he just looked at him and sighed in pity before making his way inside the house.

Preparing meals for so many people would definitely take a lot of time and effort so after chatting with each other for a while Nami and Sanji went to the kitchen to help out Nojiko. Sanji was happy beyond the brim as his cooking skills were giving him an opportunity to get closer to these two beauties.

Thirty minutes later the smell of the delicious food started entering the nostrils of everyone and whetted their appetite even further than it already was. The feast was soon served as everyone shot towards it with great vigour not minding their appearances.

Seeing the familiar scene play in front of her Nami couldn’t help but laugh as for Nojiko, she observed the happiness that was on Nami’s face as was happy for her. She had suffered so much for them and seeing that smile on her face made her feel relieved.

The food was soon finished and everyone was now relaxing at the dining table sharing stupid jokes about their past while laughing at each other. Just like that two-hour passed and a knock was heard at the door.

It was Genzo he came back and was glad to see Nami there. Seeing the happy expression on her face, it could be said that after Nojiko, he was the happiest. He invited them all for the dinner party that was going to be held in the village to celebrate the defeat of the Arlong Pirates.

This brought an expression of joy on Luffy’s face as he jumped up on his seat and punched in the air as he cheered “WOOHOO MORE FOOD!”

“Isn’t your stomach full from all the food we’ve eaten a while back already!” Sanji rebuked at Luffy.

“Full? My stomach? When?” Luffy asked as he grabbed his stomach with his two hands and stretched it out like a rubber band to show Sanji how big his stomach was which made Sanji facepalm himself and the rest of them laugh at Luffy’s antics.

Night soon came and they all were now looking at the large bonfire made to celebrate the freedom that the village had regained. Usopp had already informed everyone beforehand that for the safety of their crew and the village he had told Genzo to make the incident look as if the marines have dealt with the Arlong Pirates after explaining them about the mouse faced marine incident.

They all agreed with not rabbling their mouth in the village party regarding this and were now enjoying the night party to the fullest because tomorrow was the day that they were going to set sail.

The sound of instruments soon started as everyone started grooving to the tune while enjoying each other. Sanji was going after each and every woman making them all scurry away from him, Zoro was happy in his own as he had a bottle of Sake with him to accompany him all night, and as for Luffy, he could be found stuffing his mouth with food near the food area.

As for Usopp, he was currently in a room along with Nojiko. Both of them had a few drinks and were clearly intoxicated. While lying on the bed after clearing a session of love making Usopp asked Nojiko, “You sure you don’t want to come with us?”

“Yes, I’m sure. I want to take care of my mother’s orchard garden till my last breath.” Nojiko replied.

“Well…won’t you feel alone?” Usopp asked.

“I’m used to it…besides aren’t you planning to make a little one to accompany me before leaving?” Nojiko said with a smile.

“Aren’t you glad how kind I am?” Usopp joked.

“How could I not be?” Nojiko traced her hand over Usopp’s wide chest and kissed his lips as the two of them once again started an exchange of love and passion in the darkness of the room.

“Bell-mere san…I brought you some wine to drink,” Nami said as she sat on her toes and started pouring the wine slowly over her grave.

As the wine slowly seeped into the ground Nami started letting herself out in front of her deceased mother.

“I’ll be going on a journey tomorrow…I’m finally free Bell-mere san and the ones that killed you…they’re dead…it’s strange though. I thought that if Arlong died then I would be the one who would be most happy but instead…it made me miss you even further Bell-mere san. I miss you…. Hehe Look at me crying…if you were here then you would have knocked some sense into my head by saying that I need to be a strong girl…but let me be…only for today…” Nami continued to let herself out along with the tears that she had been holding in for a very long time.

“…I can’t talk about all the sad things today now…There’s also some good news…I’ve made some friends, and I can trust them with my life…I was not very sure about it earlier but today…I’m sure. There’s also this one man…I think I like him…a lot of good things are happening Bell-mere san…is this what you mean when you said that if I continue to live on then plenty of good things will also happen to me?... I’m glad I listened to you…mother,” Nami said as she fell asleep on the ground as the sake which Zoro made her try was more than she was capable of handling.

Genzo who had been listening to Nami from the back soon made his way towards her and saw the sleeping Nami. After a while, he brought a blanket from inside the house nearby and covered Nami with it.  Genzo's eyes went towards Bell-mere's gaze and he said "Arent you glad Bell-mere? Nami's finally free and have some people she could trust with her life...I am. Guess I won't be needing this anymore as well" Genzo said as removed the pinwheel from his hat and placed it on Bell-mere's grave before leaving.
