After Merry's funeral, the crew was currently at a Galley-la house in Dock as they all needed some rest.

Kokoro, Chimney, and Gonbe came in.

        The former laughs. “I see you are all doing better. You’ve been resting hard these past few days. No one can blame you though.”

        “Ah actually no. Luffy is still resting,” Yukiko says smiling.

        Sanji elaborates. “He didn’t want to miss his meals while he slept so he made up a… sleep-eating technique.”

        Kokoro looks shocked as she suddenly realizes that Luffy was doing just that as Yukiko sat next to him closely. “Why don’t you move?” She asks.

"Can't. His subconscious doesn't want me to leave." Yukiko shook her head because his leg somehow wrapped around hers.

Chimney laughs. “She’s stuck to him!”

“It’s the price I pay for being his woman!” Yukiko smiled.

Kokoro just laughs as she turns to a Nami who has been sulking and depressed for quite a while.

"Your ’re log pose should be set after two or three more days….” Kokoro states.

        Nami sniffs, “What’s the point? Even if it sets we won’t be able to go anywhere. All the money we had for the ship is gone forever. Our furniture, clothes, even Bellemere’s orange trees.”

        “Sorry for saying something,” Kokoro sweatdrops.

"Actually, we still have our belongings." Yukiko smiled making Nami turn to her.

        “Oh, so that’s why your guests are here.”

At that, some men came in. With all their stuff even Nami's trees.

"Thanks boys." Yukiko smiled.

“Thank you! Thank you!” Nami says out of happiness.

"Before we left to get Robin, I asked them to get our stuff off Merry for safekeeps." Yukiko explained.

Then Chopper comes in and salutes Sanji with a smile on his face. “Reporting in! I treated the Franky Family and made sure Robin didn’t leave my sight the whole time!”

        “I already told you. I’m not going anywhere,” Robin laughs.

Then Franky came in with the twins, “How’s your super week going?!”

        He quickly sits down crisscross. “Alright. Listen. I have something important to say. There’s this island that is always at war. For years, fire has rained on the island. Death and destruction are the only thing that it’s people know. Houses fall down, cities go into ruin; there’s no place to run from the chaos. And in the midst of all this madness there’s a single tree. No matter what happens, it doesn’t fall. No matter how much the island is destroyed its people gather around and build it all up again. It’s the strongest tree in the world. As for as anyone knows, only a few exist. It’s called the Jewel tree, Adam.”

"Why tell us this?" Yukiko asked confused.

        “Every now and then a piece of the tree ends up in the black market. I wanted one for a long time now. However, the price is 200 million beli. Too expensive for me. However a bunch of pirates came around flailing their money around and begging me to take it,” Franky states.

        Sanji is angry and even drops his cigarette from his mouth, “Bastard! You used our money to buy a stupid log?!”

        Franky slams his fists down and looks like he’s bowing, “That stupid log is composed of the toughest wood in the world, the same wood that was made to create a certain ship that can get people anywhere in the world! A long time ago I had decided to stop building ships. And yet I couldn’t help but follow in the footsteps of my old master. Soon enough I find myself designing a new ship. Now my hope is to use the wood to build the new ship- To put all my heart until building this last ship. A ship of dreams that can sail across any sea!”
