East Blue – Conomi Islands
"Luffy, was that...?", Nami asks, shaken and confused.
"Yeah, it was your mom's ghost", Luffy replies, standing up and stretching.
"How?", Nojiko asks, still puzzled.
"Apparently, the Voice of All Things also lets me interact with souls", Luffy explains, sharing what he thinks is happening.
"That ability that lets you hear animals and inanimate objects?", Nami asks for confirmation.
"Yep, and it looks like it also lets me interact with dead people", Luffy says, adjusting his hat.
"Why did she disappear when we got close?", Nojiko asks, still a bit stunned.
"It has something to do with outside interference or something. When you both got close, she was pulled back. Anyway, she asked me to tell you both that she loves you and will always love you, and that she's really proud of the women you've both become", Luffy says, passing on Bell-mère's message.
The two sisters then embrace, emotional as they look fondly at their mother's grave.

After a while, the three of them return to the party, which lasts the whole night, only ending at dawn.
Later, after helping Nami clean up her room from the mess left by their wild sex earlier, the two go to sleep snuggled up against each other.
The next morning, Nami wakes up before Luffy, sprawled across his bare chest. She tries to quietly slip out of his warm embrace so as not to wake him.
Unfortunately, Luffy's arms hold her tightly, not letting her go. Changing her strategy, Nami attempts to wake him gently.
She tries several things, shaking him lightly, caressing and kissing his chest, and even trying to wake him up with a handjob, but he doesn't wake up at any point during the handjob, not even when he comes.
Realizing she'll have to take drastic measures to get up, Nami bites Luffy's chest hard.
Even with the strong bite, Luffy wakes up, feeling only a slight nibble. Looking down at the source of the bite, he finds his spectacular red-haired girlfriend clamped down on the side of his chest.
"Why are you biting me?", Luffy asks, still groggy.
"It was the only way to wake you up. I tried everything, I even gave you a handjob and you still didn't wake up", Nami says, shrugging.
"I'm going to tell your mom that you're bullying me", Luffy jokes, still sleepy.
"I'm your girlfriend. If anyone's allowed to bite you, it's me", Nami teases, joining in the joke.
"Oh, you cheeky girl, so you like biting me, huh?", Luffy says before starting to tickle her.
The playful teasing soon turns into a quick morning session, which continues in the bathroom as they take a shower together.
"So, when are we leaving?", Nami asks while drying her hair with a towel after the shower.
"I was thinking today or tomorrow", Luffy says, pulling on a loose white shirt and grabbing his hat from the bed.
"Let's leave tomorrow then. Today I'm going to ask Dr. Nako to cover up this tattoo on my arm with a new one", Nami suggests as she finishes getting ready for the day.
"A tattoo?", Luffy asks, intrigued.
"Yeah, I'm going to ask him to do a windmill with tangerines", Nami says happily, excited to finally get rid of the symbol on her arm.
"Hmmm, I've got an idea", Luffy says, suddenly excited.
"Oh, here we go. What's the idea?", Nami asks, curious.
"I'm going to get a tattoo too", Luffy replies, already imagining how cool he'll look with the tattoo he has in mind.
"Cool, what are you going to get?"
"It's a surprise. You'll see when we get there. Come on, let's go", Luffy says, heading out of the house.
After a few minutes of walking, during which Nami unsuccessfully tries to figure out which tattoo Luffy will get, they arrive at the place where Dr. Nako stays.
As they enter, they find the whole crew gathered around Zoro and Sanji, who are lying in hospital beds.
"What are you guys doing here?", Luffy asks, confused.
"Oh hey, guys! Nojiko asked us to help carry a bunch of boxes, and these two started fighting and got hurt along the way, so now we're here with them", Kaya explains, pointing at Sanji and Zoro while explaining why they're there.
"So, what about you two?", Nojiko asks, curious.
"Nami wants to cover a tattoo, and I want to get one", Luffy explains with a smile.
"Huh, I didn't know this place was a tattoo studio too", Usopp says, surprised.
"It's not. It's just that Dr. Nako knows how to tattoo, so if you ask, he'll do it", Nojiko clarifies.
They spend some time chatting until Dr. Nako enters the room and notices Nami and Luffy, who weren't there before.
"Oh, hey Nami, kid. What brings you two here?", Nako asks, approaching.
"I want to cover up this tattoo, and Luffy wants to get one", Nami says, pointing to the tattoo on her left shoulder.
"Alright then, let me just grab my equipment, and we can get started", Nako says, heading off to prepare.
After setting everything up, Nako sits on a stool beside one of the empty hospital beds and turns to the two of them. "So, who's going first?"
"Nami will go first. Hers will take less time than mine", Luffy answers, knowing his tattoo idea would take longer.
"Alright, lie down on your stomach, Nami. What do you want me to tattoo?", Nako asks, pointing to the bed beside him.
Nami speaks as she lies down, "I want a windmill with tangerines."
Time passes as everyone chats and enjoys themselves while Nako works on the tattoo, creating the same design that the original Nami has.
After finishing Nami's tattoo, Nako turns to Luffy, who's taking off his shirt, and asks, "And you, kid, what do you want?"
"I want my crew's Jolly Roger big on my back", Luffy says, lying down on his stomach.
"Do you have a drawing to show me what it looks like?", Nako asks, wanting to know the design.
"Uh, Usopp, can you draw it for him?", Luffy asks Usopp, who's sitting on the bed beside his.
"Sure, do you have some paper and a pen?", Usopp asks Nako, who then provides what he requested.
After drawing the crew's Jolly Roger on the paper, Usopp hands the drawing to Nako, who begins tattooing Luffy's back.
Once the tattoo is finished, Luffy stands up, showing everyone the crew's Jolly Roger now inked onto his back.
Seeing their captain proudly bearing their crew's symbol, Zoro contemplates for a few seconds before saying, "Hey, old man, do that same tattoo on my back too."
And as if Zoro had opened the floodgates, one by one, every member of the crew asked Nako to tattoo the Jolly Roger on their backs as well.
The only one who didn't get tattooed was Chouchou, even though he wanted one. It didn't make sense to tattoo a dog since the tattoo would never show under his fur unless he stayed bald forever.
To ensure he didn't feel left out as the only one without a tattoo, Chouchou was given a black scarf with white detailing that featured the crew's Jolly Roger, which was then tied around his neck.
And so, the day and night passed quickly. By the next morning, all the villagers of Cocoyasi gathered at the port near the village to say goodbye to Nami, Nojiko, and the rest of the crew.
