After Crocodile and Baroque Works Have Been Defeated

It was surreal to Vivi that finally, Crocodile and his Baroque Works organization was defeated and his schemes were exposed, clearing the royal family from any perceiveed wrongdoing by the citizens and thus ending the rebellion too. Vivi was concerned about a lot of things pertaining to her country going forward, but she was also thinking about her friends the Straw Hat Pirates and whether or not she should continue traveling with them, but this time as a pirate. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, she entered the infirmary where they were all at since Luffy was still recovering and it sounded like they were arguing.

"Why can't I go with you all? I'm the Captain" said Luffy.

"We already told you. You still need to heal and we need to focus on making sure the Going Merry is safe. We'll come back to pick up," replied Nami.

"But I-" started Luffy while Vivi realized the Straw Hats had been endlessly arguing with Luffy.

"I'll still be here, Luffy. Nami's right you need to focus on getting healed up and besides, you're my friend so I'd be happy having you around. Amf if you're bored, I ca get you something to do," interruped Luffy.

Luffy and the others didn't notice Vivi enter the room and greeted her, but after that, Luffy thought about what Vivi said.

"Fine. I'll stay here with you Vivi while they get the Going Merry," said Luffy.

The other Straw Hats sighed in relief that Luffy listened to Vivi and agreed to stay as Nami turned towards her.

"I guess that settles that. We'll meet up where we previously agreed and if you decide you want to come with us to be a pirate, we'll pick both you and Luffy up. And if you decide to stay here;"

"You won't leave me here forever, will you?!" interrupted Luffy as he started to panic.

Nami raised her eyebrow amd replied, "You're rubber remember? You'll be able to rocket yourself to the Going Merry, with or without Vivi depending on her decision."

Lufy dicked his head in embarrassment as he did momentarily forget. Not long after the rest of the Straw Hats left the infirmary and castle as a whole to make sure they got to the Going Merry safely, leaving just Vivi and Luffy behind.
