Nami, Usopp & Buggy
After Zoro and Luffy spent several days traveling by boat with Luffy falling into the sea for being an idiot, being swallowed by a giant bird at least 2 times a day, Zoro saving him all those times and ending the two eating roasted bird, they finally managed to arrived to Cocoyasi Village, where Nami had been waiting for Luffy for several days.
-You're slow!- Nami yelled, hitting Luffy's head.- You took too long to pick me up, you damn idiot!-
-Sorry...- Luffy looked down with a big bump on his head.
-Who is she?- Nami asked upon noticing Zoro's presence.
-She's a nakama I found on my trip here!!!- Luffy replied.
-I'm Roronoa Zoro.-
-Nice to meet you, Zoro. I'm Nami, the navigator of this crew!- Nami extended her hand with a big smile.
Zoro took her hand and shook it.
-Nice to meet you, Nami.-
The three members of the Straw Hat Pirates crew prepared to head out to sea. Bell-mère sighed in resignation as she watched her daughter go out to sea to be a pirate.
After so many years of trying, she finally gives up and let Nami do what she wants.
It's better for her to go with Luffy than to go with someone else. At least Luffy is a good boy and she trusted him to take care of Nami.
-Remember to call home!!- Nojiko yelled with a handkerchief wiping her tears.
-I will!!!-
-Also bring a boyfriend home when you come back!!! I don't care if you bring a girlfriend!- Bell-mère yells.
-Mom!!!???-
The only thing Nami heard was her mother's laughter before moving away from her far enough that she couldn't see or hear her.

-Hey!! Buggy!!!-
Buggy turned at the sound of a familiar voice.
-Natsu!!!- Buggy shouted excitedly.- Long time!!!-
Buggy left his crew and ran towards Natsu. They both bumped fists before putting an arm on the other's shoulder.
-How's life going, Buggy?-
-Good!! And you? I've heard that you and Zeref are now a couple!!!- Buggy commented, moving his eyebrows mischievously.- Tell me. Do you two kiss a lot?-
-Oh shut up! At least we're together. Not like you, who don't even realize your feelings for Shanks!!!-
-Hey! I'm not in love with that red-haired bastard !!!- Buggy yelled causing his limbs to separate from his body .- That asshole caused me to swallow an Akuma no Mi and lose my treasure map!!! I will never forgive him in my life!!!-
-C'mon, Buggy it's just a treasure map. Every time Shanks gets drunk he only talks about you and your perfect butt!!! He already has me sick of his constant whining!-
-Shaddap Salmon head!!! I don't want to know anything about that!!!- Buggy shouted covering his ears with his face very red.
Natsu, seeing his reaction, only made fun of his friend and Buggy punch him on the shoulder for making fun of him.
They arrived at a small bar and began to drink.
-Tell me, what brings you to these seas?- Buggy asked.
-Luffy just got old enough to go out to sea so I came to say hi!! Also, Zeref is also in East Blue and I came to pick him up.-
-So that's why Zeref is not with you.-
-And you Buggy? Why are you in East Blue?-
-I came because this sea is safer. I've had enough dealing with the sea of the New World. By the way I can go say hello to Rouge.- Buggy answered.
The two continued chatting while drinking alcohol. It's time for Natsu to leave as well as Buggy, who had his crew waiting on the ship.
-I hope to see you again in the New World!!-
-I won't be back for a while, but I'll make sure to go say hello if I come back!!-
With that the two friends parted ways again.

As Natsu continued his journey to Baratie, Luffy, Nami, and Zoro encountered Usopp. Luffy took care of Kuro and managed to get Usopp to join in without much trouble.
Kaya gave them the Straw Hat Pirates' first ship, the Going Merry. Although the ship is not very fit to withstand the changing climate of the New World, but it will serve to navigate the East Blue.
-Be careful, okay?- Banchina planted a kiss on Usopp's forehead. -If you meet your father, tell him I love him and I miss him.-
-Okay, mom. I will make sure to force him to retire from the world of pirate so that he will be with you and keep you company!! I promise!!!-
(Which is why when Usopp finally meets Yasopp he grabs him by the neck and yells at him to go back to Banchina since she misses him.)
Banchina laughs softly upon hearing her son's statement, she did not think that he was going to make it happen using violence in between until Yasopp told her what happened.
Kaya walked over to Usopp and gave him a hug.
-I will be waiting...-
-Kaya, I promise that when I get back I'll have found One Piece and I'll marry you!!!- Usopp declared, taking Kaya's hands in his.
Kaya blushed at this and planted a small kiss on Usopp's cheek.
-C'mon Usopp!! You're taking a long time!- Luffy yelled, already on the boat with Nami and Zoro.
-I'm going!-
The ship is slowly moving away from the coast.
Kaya and Banchina watched as they walked away.
-Kaya-san.-
-Yes, Banchina-san?-
Do you want to have tea at my house? Maybe we can have a talk daughter-in-law her.-
-Banchina-san!!!-Kaya's cheeks were extremely red from her embarrassment.
Banchina chuckled softly before pinching Kaya's cheek.
-I am very happy that you are my daughter-in-law. Usopp has been very lucky to meet you.-
Kaya rubbed her cheek while blushing.
-Let's go have tea...-
Banchina smiled warmly before taking Kaya's hand and leading her to her house.
The two of them had a very pleasant afternoon and at the end they did have a daughter-in-law talk.
Kaya learned a lot about how difficult it was for Banchina to raise Usopp with Yasopp away from home and how he survived an illness thanks to a boy named Law.
Life is hard, but don't plan to give up. He will patiently wait until the day Usopp returns.
After all, she was not alone.
