...~[Good Reading]~...

Jon returns to the ship, and finds Sanji & Chopper has returned as well.

"Only have you returned?" - Jon

"Yes." - Sanji

Suddenly Nami called out to them while running towards the ship.

"Everything, this is bad, our money has been stolen, and Usopp has been beaten." - Nami

"WHAT?!" - All

"Where is Luffy?" - Zoro

"He's been looking for the man responsible for this, the Franky Family. Let's treat Usopp first, I know his location, but we can do it later." - Nami

"All right!" - All

They moved to Usopp's location near Dock 1. When they got there, Usopp could not be found. There was only traces of blood on the ground.

"Since this, he walks alone." - Jon

"Where?" Nami

"Maybe to the people who took the money." - Jon

Suddenly they saw Luffy jumping up and down the building. They called him and explained the situation. They went to Franky's house, Franky's house. When they got there, they found Usopp had been beaten up more than ever. They're all getting angry, and they're going to destroy this gang. Nami will treat Usopp's wounds for now.

* BANG *

Luffy broke the door open, they saw a lot of people partying.

"Are you Franky?" - Luffy

"Oioioi, who are you? How dare you enter our place like that." - Grunt A

"Just answer me!" - Luffy

"You Strawhats, Luffy. You want to avenge your members? That's right, we're Franky's family, what do you want to do after knowing that?" - Grunt B

"Destroy everything!" - Luffy

"Captain who understands" - Strawhats

They all started attacking gang members. It was easy to defeat this growl with the five of them. Wait, Jon has made 10 clones so now it's 15 clones. Jon only used taijutsu because he felt angry they beat Usopp up like that. So he felt better when he beat these people with his hands than ninjutsu.

"Where's the money?" - Luffy

"We won't tell you anything." - Grunt X

"Jon!" - Luffy's

"All right!" - Jon

Jon uses his sharing and grumbles under his genjutsu and extracts information from it.

"Boss Franky has taken the money and left the island." - Grunt X

"Where?" - Jon

"Auction for another island and buy Wood from the Tree of Adam's Treasure." - Grunt X

"When will he come back?" - Jon

"We don't know.." - Grunt X

"Jon, keep an eye on Franky's news! Let's go back to the ship first, there's something I have to tell you all. Also, flatten this building!" - Luffy

They all came out and the building suddenly collapsed, then exploded into pieces. Zoro had cut the building and Jon left the paper bomb. Now the building has become small pieces of wood.

They return to the ship, and Chopper treats Usopp's wounds. He still fainted and it took him a few hours to wake up again. After Chopper finished, Luffy called them and told them something.

"Where's Robin?" - Luffy

"I don't know, he suddenly disappeared and we can't search for him." Chopper

"I saw him go somewhere with someone I didn't know. I tried to follow them but they disappeared." - Sanji

"I'll send my clone to look for him." - Jon

"alright. Here's the news, I've decided, we're going to buy a new ship." - Luffy

"!!!" - All

"New ship? Why?" - Jon

"Nami, explain!" - Luffy

"Going Merry can no longer be fixed. The damage was too great and the biggest damage was in Keel. It is broken and cannot be repaired. Fixing Keel is like building a whole new ship.

I have asked if the issue is money, and told them we have more money than we carry. But that's not the case, no money can fix Merry. No shipbuilder can fix it without building it again. That's what Iceburg said from the Galley La Company." - Nami

"That's why I decided to buy a new boat. Merry can't sail with us even to the nearest island anymore. That would jeopardize our lives right now, so I have to make this decision." - Luffy

They all remained silent and understood why Luffy had made this decision. They love Merry, it's their home now, but their lives matter more. Jon remembers something and asks the system about his idea.

'System, can Mokuton fix Merry completely?' - Jon

[Yes, however it will take a very long time. The host has not met the requirements to obtain Mokuton. In addition, even though the host gets it, it will take a long time to control the wood and fix it with great precision.

Mokuton is one of the most difficult elements to control and master. That is why no one has managed to practice Mokuton alone other than Hagoromo, Ashura and Hashirama. Others can only use their cells to gain power, even Zetsu needs their chakra first.]

'Tch. Then, can I increase the inventory capacity and save Merry first until I have Mokuton and enough control and mastery to fix it?' - Jon

'!! Whahuh? Why can't I keep Merry?' - Jon

[Going Merry has manifested a spirit called Klabautermann, and the spirit is the soul. So the ship became a kind of creature with a soul in it.]

'Klabautermann?' - Jon

[From the Host memory of the Alabasta library. Klabautermann is said to be a water spirit (or fairy) who lives on a ship and is essentially an incarnation of a well-maintained ship. It is a cheerful and industrious creature that is said to warn sailors when ships are in danger and sometimes helps in a greater way. They are usually considered only a legend among sailors.]

'Is that why I can't keep it?' - Jon

[yeah. The soul and the body cannot be separated unless the body has died. Saving Merry is like killing him.]

'Damn!' - Jon

Jon gritted his teeth, he loved Merry, it's his only home in the world right now, so he loved it a lot. Not to mention he always fixes ships with Usopp. Little Garden was a training ground for him, not a home. The crew was his family, so the ship was their home.

Of course he also considers Broggy and Dorry to be his family as well, but Little Garden is actually not home. Broggy & Dorry won't call it home either, just a dueling venue. Their home is Elbaf, and now it's Merry. It was very painful for him to leave his home.

Jon sends his clones to sweep through every place in town. He sent orders to his clone to use the sharingan and search for Robin's chakra mark. The clones continued searching for several hours until it started to darken and they found no clues whatsoever.

It's getting dark but there's no word on Robin. Usopp was also still unconscious, so they searched the ship's design for a while. Suddenly Usopp woke up, and they all felt relieved.

"Usopp, you're up. Good, I need to tell you something. We'll buy a new ship." - Luffy

"!!! WHWHAT? What do you mean new ship?" - Usopp

"They've checked Merry and said they can't fix it anymore. The damage was too great and repairing it was no different from building a new ship. If we keep sailing with Merry, it will put our lives at risk" - Luffy

"W-what are you saying? It must be because I lost money right?" - Usopp

"No, we have more money but it will stay the same." - Luffy

"Don't joke, Merry's our friend too, right? DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE A FRIEND?" - Usopp began to raise his voice.

"SILENCE! I CAN'T RISK OUR LIVES BY SAILING SAFELY ANYMORE. I'VE DECIDED THIS, THIS IS CAPTAIN'S ORDER!!" - Luffy

"SO WHAT? WOULD YOU TRUST SOMEONE YOU'VE MET AND LEAVE A FRIEND BEHIND? SINCE WHEN HAVE YOU ACTED LIKE A CAPTAIN? WHY ACT LIKE NOW WHEN A FRIEND IS SICK?!?!" - Usopp

Jon widened his eyes hearing Usopp say this. He had no idea what Usopp had in mind to say such a thing. Even if they had disagreements, they had never experienced anything like this. They continued to argue and Luffy did not let the others interfere.

"IF YOU CAN'T FOLLOW MY DECISION, YOU CAN PA" - Luffy

"QUIET CALM!" - Jon

Jon stops Luffy and also stops Sanji's kick. Sanji almost kicked Luffy for what he almost said because he was too hot. Jon can't let him kick the captain but he also has to stop Luffy from going too far. He had interrupted his Captain's conversation, but if he hadn't done so, Luffy himself would probably have regretted his words later.

"Quiet down! Calm your head first! Don't say words that make you regret." - Jon

"Sorry, I slipped." - Luffy

"It's okay Luffy, if that's how you feel. You're going to be the pirate king, right? Then you don't need a weak crew member. I don't have to go that far. I think it's farewell." - Usopp

"Usopp, what are you" - Nami

"I'm leaving this crew." - Usopp

They widen their eyes hearing Usopp declare he is leaving the crew. Nami tried to stop him but he just left the ship. The others also came out and saw Usopp leave.

"The ship is Captain, right? Then since I've left the crew, I'll take it from you. Monkey D's. Luffy, I challenge you to the ownership of the Going Merry. Tonight I will come for a duel at 10." - Usopp

Usopp left and the others just looked at him. They had complicated expressions on their faces. Luffy looked sad and angry, both for himself and Usopp. Chopper cries, and Nami tries to comfort him even though he is also feeling sad.

Sanji is angry at Zoro for letting Franky's gang leave in good condition when they attacked Merry earlier. He thought if those people were not okay, then Usopp would not be beaten and his money would not be stolen. Usopp must have felt really bad about it and he couldn't take the news very well.

"Sorry Merry, you brought us all here, but this happened. I'm sure you don't want this, so do I Merry. Usopp must have been the most saddened about this news. He can't take it well like the others, he loves you so much.

I know it will only hurt you to see this, but there is nothing we can do now. Sometimes love hurts us the most. Leaving your loved ones is the hardest thing to do." - Jon

Jon stroked the pole, and touched the hole he patched with careless skill. She was teary-eyed, she loved this ship so much. He remembered when he had a bicycle and he had to sell it for his medical expenses.

She cried for a week and she was still sad about it. It was a bike he bought with his own money, and he always took very good care of it. He knows his life is more important, but he loves his bike a lot. But even with the money, he was still dead, and he wanted to see his family sad because of him.

For him, the one who hurt him the most, not seeing someone leave, it left them. He still wanted to be with his family but he could only leave them. He was sure Merry also felt that way, he had a spirit so there must be a feeling.

But he knew, Merry is suffering now, if they continue sailing with Merry, it will only suffer more. Jon looked at his friends who were still making a fuss and sigh.

"QUIET CALM!" - Jon

They all stopped and looked at Jon.

"The commotion now won't change anything. We had a lot of problems this time, but this is life. This is what the crew will face, how friendship will be faced. Usopp has left, he made his own decision.

A man needs to keep his word and be careful. Although he was too grumpy and irrational before, but it was also a consequence of his words. Luffy is right, if he cannot accept the Captain's decision, he should pack up.

We were friends, but we were also a crew. Crews have an unalterable hierarchy. If you can't accept your Captain's decision, then you can leave. Crews without unity would only fall apart and endanger everyone. It's sad, but that's life, just accept it and move on." - Jon

They all fell silent and sat still after hearing Jon. He's right, that's life, and that's what the crew will face. Things like this can always happen and they have to be ready. They are all silent for a while but suddenly Jon gets a memory from his clone.

"DAMN it!" - Jon
