Chapter 273: One last time before we leave

"Zoro is still missing?" Robin looked around the place.

"Yeah…and he doesn't know we are here. I'm getting a bit worried." 

said Usopp.

"He is not missing, I know exactly where he is." Said Vivi while taking a seat at the table.

"So…did Sanji, by any chance, prepare something for breakfast before passing out?"

"Hold on!, you know where he is?" Asked Usopp.

"Yes, the radius of my observation haki has improved a lot. He is currently south of the island. He is most certainly lost thought…"

"Why didn't you say anything before?" Robin gave her an intense glare.

"Because…until he admits he has a problem, we can't help him!... Besides, there is nothing here that could harm him, he is fine." Said Vivi.

"He has too much pride to ask for directions…" said Brook.

"Wow, everyone is awake already?" Nami came out of the bedroom with a sleepy face, wearing a white dress.

"Not everyone. Luffy is still sleeping, see?" Usopp pointed at their Captain.

He was lying on the floor and snoozing in a weird posture.

"That's not new…you guys are making too much noise so early in the morning…."

She then saw Sanji lying in a pool of blood.

"Again?...did he prepare breakfast before…that?"

"No, just coffee…" Said Franky.

"He also said something about bread and butter." Added Usopp.

"I'll go get some coffee." Offered Vivi.

The door of the bedroom opened again and Rebeca came out, looking very joyful.

"Good morning everyone!" 

"Good morning Princess Rebeca. Did you rest well?" Franky grinned.

"ahh…ehh…it was fine…ahhh!" she screamed when she saw Sanji.

"What happened?!, we need a doctor!"

"Is okay, relax... It happens all the time, trust me." Nami ensured her.

"But…. that's a lot of blood…" Rebeca pointed out.

"Chopper went already to-" Before Brook could finish his sentence, the front door opened and Chopper rushed in with two bags of blood, which then proceeded to inject into Sanji.

"He is regaining his color, good." Said the doctor.

"See? he is fine." Said Vivi as she placed a cup of coffee in from of Nami and another one for herself.

"Thanks Viv." Nani said with a warm smile.

"By the way, Rebeca. I hope you don't mind but I borrowed a dress from your wardrobe. My clothes from yesterday were too dirty.

"I borrowed one too because I... didn't have any clothes to put on." Added Vivi.

"Is okay. Mister Sold- I mean…my father bought many of those for me but I didn't have many occasions to wear them." Rebeca explained.

"You will have more chances now that Doflamingo and his family are gone. Or they will be very soon. I think there was a meeting today about that." Said Robin.

"Yes, Law must be there already. He took Caesar too." Said Franky.

"That man gives me the creeps…what he did to those children is unforgivable. I hope he gets properly punished." Said Chopper.

"Shouldn't you be there at the meeting? you are the Princess." Nami asked Rebeca.

This one shook her head.

"I am a princess but my aunt Viola is the next in line of succession. After my Grandfather retired, she will be Queen. Also…I know nothing about being a princess."

"We can't help you with that, the only Princess we know doest really behave line one..." Usopp gave Vivi a glance.

"You can always quit and become a pirate." Said vivi.

The entire room stared at her.

"I'm just saying that is a possibility…it worked for me." 

"You don't regret it? leaving that life behind?" asked Rebeca.

Vivi looked at Nami and the rest of her friends.

"Not even for a second."

The door of the other bedroom opened and Kyros walked out with the help of a cane. 

"Man, it was easier to walk with one leg when I was a toy…ohh!, good morning everyone. What a party you guys did! , I don't remember ever drinking that much."

"Yeah…you never get used to them." Said Usopp.

"Why is a guy bleeding on my floor?" Kyros asked.

"Well, since our chef is out. I guess I'm making something to eat. I can make a least some pancakes." Said Vivi.

"The pantry is probably empty… You guys ate a lot yesterday, especially your Captain." Rebeca informed them.

"We can go do some shopping then." Sais Nami.

"Okay, let's go then. The three of us." Vivi grabbed Nami and Rebeca by their hands and escorted them out.

Kyros smiled.

"Those three really get along huh? I never seen my daughter smile so much."

The Strawhats looked at each other awkwardly.

"Yeah…they really get along…"

Luffy woke up just in time for breakfast.

Just an hour after that, they were visited by Sabo and another member of the revolutionary army called Koala, who was very attached to Robin for some reason.

"What do you mean you are leaving?" Luffy pouted.

"I know, I'm sorry. But we got a report that more marines are on their way. Including the former Fleet Admiral, Sengoku. Our mission here is concluded anyway, so Miss Iva gave the order to retreat. You guys should leave this place too." 

"Can't you stay for lunch at least? I'm making burgers. And I don't think the Marines will bother us too much." Remarked Vivi.

"You are cooking? I thought your chef was a blonde guy." Said sabo.

"Still unconscious." Nami chipped in.

"What do you think?" Sabo asked Koala.

"If I have the ship waiting on the nearby coast…we can make a quick escape after lunch." said the blonde girl. She knew it was a risk but also knew how much Sabo wanted to spend time with his brother.

"It looks like we have a bit of time." Sabo grinned.

"Yes!, lets party!" Luffy jumped with joy.
