"I think if Grandpa Ryu returns to his birthplace, he'll get better," Apis explains as he strokes his snout lovingly.

"Animals have instincts. This Millennium Dragon may be able to tell us something." I tell the others.

"Yeah, let's find this Lost Island!" Luffy says.

"But how..." Usopp begins to ask.

"Well, it'll work out somehow," Zoro comments from his seat by Sanji, who lights his cigarette.

"Zoro...~" He groans at our First Mate.

"But what should we do with him? Just taking him down the mountain alone will attract attention." Sanji points out, and Nami smirks in response.

"First, we'll need a cart. One big enough for Grandpa Ryu to ride on." Nami says, and Usopp lets out another groan slapping a hand to his forehead as he looks up.

"Let's do it!" Apis exclaims happily, jumping over to me; I pick her up into my arms as she circles her arms around my neck.

"This enough?" Luffy asks as if it wasn't obvious.

"Okay!" Nami agrees with a gesture though Usopp and Apis look in shock.

We finally get the cart almost finished though Luffy keeps wasting time, with Usopp doing most of the work, and he puts on the last wheel. "That should do it," Usopp announces, wiping away some sweat from his forehead, Apis and Luffy climb up on the chart and just around.

"This should be perfect for Grandpa Ryu to ride on!" Apis cheers, seeming happier than ever.

"For sure!" Luffy agrees with a laugh.

"But the Marines are still anchored in the harbour. What about our ship?" Sanji asks a good question.

"Something will happen," Luffy replies.
