Long before the octagram came to the one piece world, milim, veldora and ramiris is surely taking their time reading about luffy adventures

Milim who started a bit late from the other two just arrived at the marineford arc

"Luffy surely gonna save ace! After all he has done many impossible things before!"

Milim mutter happily as she keep reading it, veldora and ramiris who seeing this has an troubled expression as they concern about milim would react after she reached the end of that arc.

A few days later, ramiris and veldora is slacking off as usual while having a cookies and tea. Both of them is completely immerse on the manga they are reading

But suddenly, the door of the control room burst open

*Boom!!*

This startle ramiris and veldora as they set a glance at milim who is the cause of that door breaking

"What's up milim?"

Ramiris asked, but milim not only doesn't answer it, her face is completely expressionless

"------Ace will be revive right?"

To milim's sudden question, veldora and ramiris figured about what actually happen

"------Whitebeard too. He is far too great to die by the hand of that scum!"

"For now let's calm down-"

"Like hell i can!! Do you see how much luffy suffer because of that!! It's----it's hurt..."

As milim tone began to gone lower, veldora stand up and approach her

"Ace is dead milim. Luffy and the whitebeard pirates couldn't save him, that's the truth. There's nothing we can do about it"

As someone who has gone through marineford arc, veldora words is unbelievably more convincing

Milim look at veldora with teary eyes

"No....if i was there i could have protected them....i.....i want to protect them!!"

"Milim..."

Ramiris fly to milim as she gently put her small hand on her head

"Give it a rest milim. Ace and whitebeard death is a final push toward the new generation."

"But still!!"

"Then go! Protect them! If someday that opportunity arrive, do it milim. I too.....want to see them alive!"

"Hm~? Just what does the thing that make our captain have such a serious expression?"

Rimuru sudden words kicked milim wondering thoughts back to reality

"Nothing~ it's just........some distant memories"

Milim words surprised rimuru, he himself never seen milim this serious before

"You know, i've been wanting to talk to you about this for a while. But it seems you already matured so much."

Rimuru's said that as he couldn't help but feel proud toward his bestie growth, but milim just smile playfully

"Matured? I don't think so. It's just....i think i need to take this world a bit seriously. After all, there's many thing we can do here"

"Is that so....you know, it's sometime really refreshing to see you this way bestie"

Milim who heard this then immediately turn red while trying to controlling her smile

"-----it's been a while since you call me bestie. I'm embarassed-noda"

"Oh~ now you turning back to your old self"

While milim and rimuru is chatting happily at the deck, a cold war between two people is going on in the room

"Oi dino."

"Sup ramiris"

"What are you doing?"

"Lying down"

"I know. But why are you lying down on my bed?"

"Cuz they will find out if i'm sleeping anywhere else"

"Then don't sleep"

"How would you feel if somebody ask you to stop breathing?"

"Huh?"

"Exactly"

"............."

After that short conversation both of them went silent

'is this dino guy actually stupid?! I thought he was just lazy....but he is not even a living being anymore!'

Dino meanwhile is just closing his eyes while smiling lightly

'ramiris is so kind, she actually give me a place to sleep.....i need to repay her later'

Ramiris then turn toward dino

"Hey"

"Hm?"

"Don't you supposed to die yesterday? "

"What? That's so cruel! Rimuru actually save me!"

"Oh......fuck that rimuru"

"Huh? Did you say something?"

"No, i'm glad you are okay"

*

"Brilliant slash!!"

*Boom!!*

Leon who just split some random pirates ship in half landed gracefully on their sinking ship deck

"Tch, no luck again."

Leon curse as he did not find any devil fruit on the ship.

Actually both dagruel and guy has encounter a devil fruits and now they keep it at their ship. They still don't know what kind of that fruit yet so they still save it for later

Which mean out of three peoples who go out to hunt, only leon doesn't get his devil fruit yet

'This is frustrating.'

Leon mutter in his heart while gritting his teeth

Actually, guy and dagruel did not find that devil fruits, they stole the money they got from some random pirates and proceed to buy that fruit on underground trading

It's no wonder of leon still hasn't found one yet

'ahh! If only dino could be traded with a devil fruit! Even zoan is fine! I will not be hunting this hard by now!'
