Training

Thirteen was sitting in front of Inuarashi and Nekomamushi reading the newspaper, he saw Luffy on the front with a 2Y on his arm and said "2 years eh? Where am I gonna train?" The duo rubbed their foreheads and slapped him as they said "HERE IDIOT!" Thirteen said "Here? Why?" Inuarashi said "Do you think now that you know Electro you don't need to stay here?" Thirteen scratched his head and said "I also turn into a giant monster." Nekomamushi said "That's your Sulong form. You haven't ever practiced control before so it makes sense that you lose your mind. You can is very different though."

Thirteen said "How is it different?" Nekomamushi said "Legendary Minks are apparently able to transform under any moon and are several times stronger than a normal Sulong transformation. They are also known to have increased time for their transformation." Thirteen said "No wonder." Inuarashi said "No wonder what woof" Thirteen said "When I transformed before it would be for hours and I would only be slightly tired after... But I never transformed under any other moon." Nekomamushi said "We only have the writings left behind from our ancestors but it said that it requires extreme control to transform whenever. It's a full moon tonight, we'll try and see if you can do it."

Thirteen said "Tonight? I don't know.. I'm pretty destructive.." Inuarashi smirked and said "We were both on Roger's crew with your uncle. I think we can handle it." Thirteen shrugged and said "Alright if you guys are sure." the duo waved him off and said "How bad could it possibly be?"

Later that night

Thirteen, Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, and Carrot were outside in a clearing. Carrot yawned and said "Why am I here again?" Inuarashi said "Just in case he runs away woof." Nekomamushi chuckled and said "You don't want to see your boyfriend's Sulong form? Nyan" Carrot snapped "He's not my boyfriend! He's a pervert who crashed into my house!" the duo chuckled and Thirteen looked up at the moon before changing and roaring loudly, waking up all the Minks.

Thirteen's Sulong form appeared just like it did in Alabasta but he somehow looked more like a tiger this time. His fur tufts were longer and covering more of his body and red lightning crackled around him, his eyes were bright red and blue in the pupils but the whites of his eyes were pitch black. He was 13ft tall, towering over Carrot and almost as tall as Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.

The duo whistled and said "Wow, i've never seen a half-Mink transform before." Nekomamushi said "It's different from last time.. There's more fur-nyan" Inuarashi rubbed his chin "Maybe a legendary Mink thing woof? It's never happened to a Half-Mink before but usually the Sulong gets more and more like the ancestor the more it transforms." Nekomamushi meowed and said "Yeah, but will it change him in normal form? He doesn't have any fur usually-nyan." Inuarashi shrugged and said "I don't know. It never said anything about that." Nekomamushi rubbed his chin.

Carrot stared at Thirteen's Sulong and was a bit excited, he looked really good, she blushed at her thoughts and mumbled "Pervert!" over and over again. Inuarashi looked at her and smirked before being sent flying.

Thirteen roared and punched at Nekomamushi, who laughed at Inuarashi getting sent flying as he dodged and slapped his head saying "Idiot! You have to stay in control. What are attacking me for-nyan" Thirteen ate the ground and growled, he got up and Carrot sat on his shoulders saying "Woah! I can see my house from here!" Thriteen stopped and grabbed her, he looked at her ears and put her on his head. Carrot was confused and Thirteen walked away towards Inuarashi.

The next day

Inuarashi was looking at Thirteen, who had bumps and bruises all over his head, and sighed "What happened?" Thirteen said "Carrot transformed and beat me up." Inuarashi sighed and rubbed his face before saying "Alright well, we can talk about that later. I have your training planned out. The morning you'll do Armament Training with me, then sparring with Carrot only using electro, then Observation Haki training with Nekomamushi for the rest of the day. Every full moon, we'll do Sulong training, after you get it under control we'll try and see if you can transform without a full moon." Thirteen was in a daze and Inuarashi said "What?" Thirteen mumbled "I get to see Carrot everyday?" Inuarashi felt his eye twitch and he kicked him through the wall as he snapped "THAT'S ALL YOU HEARD?!" before grabbing him and dragging him off saying "Armament training starts now."

A while later

Thirteen was sparring with Carrot, his hands were covered in red electricity as he punched towards her, she dodged easily and said "Why aren't you hitting me?" Thirteen said "I don't like hitting you." Carrot snapped "Idiot! I'm stronger than you! We're supposed to be sparring!" before she jumped at him and started beating him up, Thirteen sighed and said "Can't I just watch you from the side?" Carrot giggled as she beat him up and said "No! I want to beat you up!" he said "What kind of training is this?" she said "It's a stress reliever! I get to beat up a pervert everyday!" he sighed and said "If I die put bunny ears on my tombstone." she burst out laughing as he blocked all her punches and pulled all his punches before they hit her, he smiled, it was better control to do this and she wouldn't get hurt.

He chuckled and Carrot snapped "Hit me! You pervert!" Thirteen pouted and said childishly "Hmph make me." she opened her mouth slightly before giggling and tackled him to the ground. Carrot headbutted him and rubbed her forehead as she said "Wow. That hurt a lot more than I expected it to." Thirteen laughed in her face and said "What did you expect? Do I look like a weakling to you?" Carrot sneered and said "What kind of man doesn't hit a girl?"

In the Kamabakka Kingdom

Sanji sneezed and rubbed his nose before saying "Some pretty lady must be talking about me. I hope she's single!" before he swooned away with his imagination running wild.

Back on Zou

Thirteen said "Am I supposed to?" he pulled out a book and flipped through the pages before saying "It says you're not supposed to beat up the girl you like." Carrot grabbed the book and said "How to treat a girl you like." she opened the book and said "Ah but it says here if she wants you to beat her up it's okay!" before catching herself and saying "Not that I like you. I don't like perverts. Idiot!" she punched him in the face and threw the book away while her face turned red. Thirteen grinned and they started sparring for real.

The book flew off Zou, and across the seas. It had many adventures. It flew through a kingdom and knocked out the tyrant, saving the people. It was named a hero and the people built a statue of it in it's honor as the book flew away.

It went over all the seas meeting new people and birds, it even met another book and had a happy life before having a few booklets. Sadly, not all good times last and it flew away with a tearful goodbye to it's now complete book children.

It flew through the air and hit Zoro right in the face, knocking him into a pink haired woman. Zoro picked up the book and read the title "How to treat a girl you like." he snapped "That tiger bastard is still alive!" as he threw the book away.

The book took to the skies and continued it's journey, saving the people and becoming a hero. It had quite the exciting life, but his journey was far from over.

The book flew through the air and hit Franky in the face, Franky looked down and picked up the book and smirked "That Lunatic's still at it." he threw the book away before going back to his modification.

The book flew over marineford and passed by Garp before disappearing.

It flew through a window and hit Sanji in the back of the head, he opened it and got a nosebleed before fainting. Ivankov picked up the book and said "How to treat a girl you like." he snapped "WERE ALL GIRLS HERE!" before throwing the book outside.

It passed by a dried up village and cut through a cloud causing it to finally rain, the people kneeled and worshiped it as a god and started a new religion.

The book was tired of this life, but he knew it had to be done. He would save the world! Suddenly another book flew into his path and made book noises at him. The book was shocked and made book noises back before flying into the other book and starting a huge battle, the book was almost defeated but remembered that the fate of the world rested on his spine and got a boost before defeating the other book, causing it to fall into the ocean.

The book was happy he had saved the world as he flew away. This battle would later be known as the 'Battle of the final fate' and the book would be immortalized as the hero who stopped the world from ending.

The book flew through a window and hit a man with blond hair and a top hat, he picked it up and said "How to treat a girl you like." before opening it and saying "Huh, I never knew that." Robin looked over and said "Sabo. What is that?" Sabo looked over and said "A book." as he handed it to her, she grabbed it and snapped "WHEN I FIND WHO WROTE THIS, HE'S GONNA PAY!" as she threw it out the window as hard as she could.

The book went back to his duties and stopped and alien warship from stealing all ink from the planet. The historians say that without the book hero there wouldn't have been anymore books, his feats would later be written down in an epic titled "How to save the world" it was unknown who wrote it, and it became one of the worlds mysteries.

The book flew through the air and hit a fat Usopp right in his forehead, he picked it up and opened it before saying "WHAT?! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT?!" before looking around and stuffing it into his overalls and rolling away.

Back on Zou

Thirteen was dodging a stick with a blindfold over his eyes as Nekomamushi tried to hit him. Nekomamushi said "Not too bad-nyan, but some people can see the future with observation, like me." Thirteen dodged into the stick and got hit right in the head.

2 months later

Thirteen and Carrot were sparring, he knocked her feet out and she grabbed him as she fell over. He stuck his hands out and the duo fell to the ground, Thirteen was on top of Carrot, inches away from her face. He stared into her eyes as she looked at him, they moved closer to each other when Inuarashi came by and said "Foods ready!" before looking at them and saying "Oh. I'll just come back later."

Thirteen and Carrot looked at him and Thirteen sighed before mumbling "Way to ruin a moment.." Carrot giggled and kissed his cheek before scurrying away with a red face. Thirteen rubbed his cheek and smiled, they had been getting closer for the past two months, since they saw each other everyday, he flirted with her sometimes while they were sparring. He got up and followed her to eat. They were sitting at a table and Thirteen said "Vegetables and fruit again?" Inuarashi said "You're the only Mink I know that eats meat from furred animals."

Thirteen poked at his salad and said "Meat tastes good." Carrot said "Just shut up and eat." Thirteen grumbled and ate his salad unwillingly as Inuarashi laughed. They finished eating and Thirteen said "I need to talk to you Carrot." she nodded and followed him as he walked away.

The duo were walking down the street and Thirteen said "I like you a lot." Carrot rolled her eyes and said "I noticed." Thirteen said "I don't know if you like me too or not but I have to tell you if you do, that I have two other girls already. I love them both and I would never abandon them." he turned to her and said "I like you too, so I want you to know. If you don't like me that's fine but if you do and you don't like that then I-" Carrot pressed her finger against his lips and giggled "You still don't know anything about Minks do you?"

Thirteen was confused and Carrot said "Some don't but stronger Minks usually have multiple wives. It's normal here." Thirteen said "I didn't know that. Does that mean that you-" she stopped him again and said "What do you think? Didn't we have a moment before? Are you stupid? I'm 16 now, old enough to like someone no?" Thirteen was happy as he scratched his head and grinned "A bit." Carrot giggled and said "Though, you're gonna have to treat me better. I haven't been out for a while now." she turned around and walked away, Thirteen watched her go until she disappeared and threw his hands up in the air and laughed happily. Carrot giggled from her hiding place while blushing as she watched him, her heart was beating like a drum just before, she skipped away towards her house humming to herself.

3 months later

Thirteen was walking with Carrot through a clothing store, she threw clothes at him and he caught them all as they piled up like a mountain. He sweat dropped and said "Is this really necessary? We already have enough clothes." Carrot snapped "Of course! I've only seen you with that rabbit shirt! I get that you clean it everyday but have some variety!" Thirteen choked and carried all of the clothes before leaving the store saying "Yeah yeah, Garchu."

Carrot held his arm and said "What do you want to do tonight?" Thirteen got an idea and said "I have a surprise for you!" Carrot was skeptical and said "What kind of surprise? Will you crash through my roof again?" Thirteen turned green and said "That wasn't my fault! Blame Kuma for sending me through your house." Carrot rolled her eyes as they walked back to her house.

Night rolled around

Thirteen was standing outside Carrot's house, he had a black short sleeved collared button up shirt with a big white bunny on the back, and black shorts with a small tiger foot print at bottom. His shirt was unbuttoned as usual and Carrot opened the door saying "What's the surprise?" Thirteen reached out his hand, she grabbed his hand and he pulled her into a hug before jumping into the air and Star Walking to a tall tree canopy.

Thirteen landed on the tree canopy and sat down with Carrot sitting in his lap, she snuggled into his chest and he stroked her hair softly. Carrot purred and said "Pretty romantic spot. Is this the surprise?" Thirteen shook his head and twinkled his finger as he said "It's just begun." before drawing in the sky.

Carrot looked up and saw a tiger and a rabbit dancing around each other before snuggling close to each other. The tiger licked the rabbit's face, causing it to scrunch up and sneeze, Carrot laughed and Thirteen drew again, a goat came with flowers and the tiger kicked it away before standing over the rabbit, puffing out it's chest proudly. Carrot rolled her eyes and said "Was that necessary?" Thirteen chuckled and said "Can't have any perverts near my rabbit." Carrot blushed and turned away saying "Who's your rabbit? Damn pervert..."

Thirteen chuckled and the rabbit hopped on the tiger's head before they walked away, disappearing in the stars. Thirteen held Carrot tightly as he smiled, she smiled and leaned her head against his chest, listening to his rhythmic heart beats. He looked down at the same time as she looked up and lowered his head, pressing his lips against hers. Carrot closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck as she returned his kiss, he fell back and landed on his back, Carrot was on top of him when she felt something hot poking her.

Carrot moved her hand down and grabbed it, she was a bit shocked at the size and squeezed it, Thirteen grunted and she giggled before gently stroking it. She moved down and nibbled on his neck, he grunted and grabbed her waist before pulling her closer to him and biting on her long ears. Carrot shook and moved her hand faster as he nibbled on her ears and moved his hand down and touched the wet spot on her pants, he slid his hand inside and rubbed her clit before sticking his fingers inside of her, she moaned and purred before taking off his shorts completely.

Thirteen took off her pants and shirt before admiring her body, he ran his hand down her stomach and felt the softness of her fur as she positioned herself above him. She aimed his dick at her pussy before slowly going down, the tip of his dick went inside and she flinched, he caressed her face and gently placed her on her back as she said quietly "Please be gentle with me.." Thirteen smiled and kissed her lips as he said "Of course." he slowly pushed all the way inside.

Carrot moaned and yelped at the same time as he went all the way inside and started moving. Her yelps soon turned to moans and purring as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him before whispering to him "I.. I love you.." Thirteen smiled happily as he said "I love you too Carrot." and kissed her again. Soon enough moans echoed from the canopy under the moonlight.

4 months later

Carrot said "Isn't it going to hurt!? Why do you have to do this?!" Thirteen was extremely serious as he said "Because, I'm getting rid of that mark. It will look better this way." Carrot snapped and said "I'm not doing this for you!" Thirteen said "You don't have to. I'll do it myself." he grabbed the metal pole with a glowing orange end and looked in a mirror, Carrot snatched it from him and screamed "ARE YOU STUPID?! HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT TO YOURSELF!?" Thirteen chuckled and said "Either you do it, or I go get Inuarashi." Carrot grit her teeth and spat "Lie down."

Thirteen grinned and lied down on the bed, Carrot straddled him and held up the metal pole and said "I want you to know, you're going to be punished for this. I don't like it at all." Thirteen said seriously "I know. I want you to do it, i'm sorry. I don't want that mark on my body anymore." Carrot sighed and pressed the glowing orange piece of metal over his brand and closed her eyes as he pressed down hard. Thirteen closed his eyes and remembered when he got his slave mark, he opened his eyes and smiled, it was different now, he was free and loved. He said "Okay that should be enough."

Carrot immediately threw the brand into a bucket of water and cleaned his burn mark, Thirteen looked at her and wiped the tears from her eyes while smiling. Carrot pressed a towel over his chest as she said "I hate you! Why did you make me do that?!" Thirteen said "Because It's better than doing it myself." Carrot looked away and cleaned his wound as she mumbled "Idiot.. I don't want to hurt you.." Thirteen laughed and scratched her ears, causing her to purr before she lightly slapped him saying "Stop! I'm still mad at you!" Thirteen snickered and scratched both of her ears and laughed as she purred before snapping at him.

3 months later

Thirteen was standing in his Sulong form and Inuarashi said "Finally, it only took you a year! Woof" Carrot looked at her nails and said "I only took 4 months." Thirteen rolled his eyes and said "Yeah, yeah, you're my amazing wife." Carrot blushed and mumbled "Who's your wife? Perverted bastard..." Inuarashi said "Alright you can flirt later, show me what you got." Thirteen disappeared and his arms caught blue fire with red lightning cackling through it as he reappeared and punched at Inuarashi.

Inuarashi caught his fist and slid backwards before saying "Not too bad. Woof." Thirteen puffed out his chest and slammed his fist down saying "Yeah i'm pretty amazing." Carrot rolled her eyes and giggled as Inuarashi said "Alright we'll spar for tonight until you collapse." Nekomamushi said "Me first! I didn't forget this damn brat stole my lasagna!" Thirteen looked around and said "I don't know what you're talking about." Nekomamushi seethed and punched him in the face saying "Damn brat! That was my lasagna! I was going to eat it!" as they started fighting.

A while later

Thirteen reverted and collapsed to the ground panting heavily, Nekomamushi said "Try and steal my lasagna again.." Inuarashi said "4 hours, that's pretty impressive!" Thirteen got up and said "I could be longer though.." Carrot said "That's almost all night! How much longer do you want?" Thirteen said "All night, then I could fight in my Sulong form the whole time."

Inuarashi chuckled and said "Your Sulong form has been changing slightly, have you noticed?" Thirteen said "Yeah, I have more fur than the first time." Inuarashi said "It's because of the legendary Mink species. If you use it enough it will almost be like a zoan transformation except only at night." Thirteen was stunned and said "Really?"

The duo nodded and Nekomamushi said "Anyway tomorrow night we start trying to see if you can transform at any moon." Thirteen nodded and they left, Thirteen walked up to Carrot and said "Hello princess, may I take you home on this fine evening?" he stretched out his hand and grinned at her, Carrot giggled and took his hand, he swept her off her feet and carried her in a princess carry as he said "Did I... Sweep you off your feet?" Carrot felt her eye twitch as she said "That was the worst joke i've ever heard."

Thirteen shook his head and said "I'll be better!" Carrot giggled and leaned on his chest as he carried her home. He walked inside and put Carrot down before going to take a shower saying "You coming with me?" Carrot tilted her head and said "Do you want me to?" he nodded excitedly and she stuck out her tongue and said "Then I won't!" he said "Hmph, I was lying anyway. I didn't want you to come, maybe i'll go ask that girl from the book store." Carrot gasped and said "You wouldn't!"

Thirteen chuckled and said "I wouldn't? Maybe i'll go right now." he went to the door and Carrot blocked him saying "Ah you know what I think I will join you." Thirteen burst out laughing before grabbing her and rushing to the bathroom. They were inside the shower and Thirteen hugged her from behind and said "You know I wouldn't do that right?" as he kissed her neck, Carrot giggled and said "I know. You promised It would only be three. Me and two other girls, I might be okay with sharing but 2 others is the limit. If not.." she snapped her jaw shut, making a clicking sound.

Thirteen shivered and said "Why would I want more? You three are all I need!" Carrot turned around and looked at his eyes and said "Do you mean that?" Thirteen stroked her hair as he looked into her eyes and said "I do. I love all of you." Carrot jumped up and nuzzled into his neck, Thirteen being in the shower with her and having her naked body on him, had a reaction and poked right into her pussy. Carrot shook slightly and slid down on top of it as she kissed him, soon after moans rang in the house.

6 months later

Thirteen was shopping with Carrot and carrying a ton of bags, Carrot said "Let's go over there next!" Thirteen said "Where ever you want to go." Carrot smiled sweetly and held his arm as they walked around. Suddenly the duo heard a voice "Seems like you're having a good time" Thirteen froze and turned around before saying "Uncle?!"

Rayleigh smiled and said "How you been kid." Thirteen teared up and said "Been good.." Carrot grabbed the bags and Thirteen hugged Rayleigh tightly, she watched as Rayleigh hugged him back and she smiled before realizing he was his only family and panicking, she didn't buy any gifts, she didn't know if he was going to like her, what if he didn't?!

Thirteen separated and looked at Carrot, he noticed she was panicking, he chuckled and said "Uncle, this is Carrot." Rayleigh looked at him and said "2?" Thirteen coughed and said "Three actually." Rayleigh shook his head and laughed before saying "Hello Carrot, I'm Rayleigh nice to meet you." Carrot said quietly "Hello, Nice to meet you." Rayleigh laughed and patted her shoulder saying "Don't be nervous. I don't bite." Thirteen chuckled and took the bags from her and put her of his shoulders before walking next to Rayleigh and saying "How long did it take you to get here? How did you know I was here?"

Rayleigh flashed his vivre card and said "It took a few days, I got quite lucky actually Zunesha passed close to Sabaody. My vivre card led me to you." Thirteen rubbed his chin and said "How are we going to get back?" Carrot said "You're leaving?!" Thirteen froze and said "Yeah. I'm supposed to meet the crew on Sabaody in 6 months." he turned to Rayleigh and said "You're staying with me for the rest of the time?" Rayleigh nodded and said "Yeah, but we'll probably have to leave early."

Thirteen frowned and said "How early?" Rayleigh said "A month early maybe a month and a half." Thirteen grimaced and Carrot went quiet, he sighed and said "Can you make me a vivre card?" Rayleigh smiled and nodded as they walked towards Inuarashi's house.

A while later

Thirteen slipped out with Carrot and brought all the bags to their house before he sat on the bed and said "Carrot, we need to talk." Carrot laid down on the bed with her back facing him and didn't say anything. Thirteen sighed and laid down behind her, he wrapped his arms around her body and said "I'm sorry." Carrot was silent and Thirteen continued "I have to leave but it doesn't mean we won't see each other again." Carrot said "How long do I have to wait to see you again?" Thirteen said "I don't know, maybe a few months?" he paused and suddenly said "Zunesha doesn't have a logpose for it right?" Carrot nodded and Thirteen said "Perfect! Then i'll get Inuarashi or Nekomamushi's vivre cards and just bring the crew here!"

Carrot turned around and said "Really?" Thirteen kissed her forehead and said "Really." Carrot shook her head and smiled "You can't. I don't want you to do that for me." Thirteen said "But y-" Carrot put a finger on his lips and said "I'm gonna be sad that you're gone but I will wait for you to come back. I don't want to delay your crew because of me, that's not fair to them and it makes me feel bad. Do you understand Thirteen? Don't bring them here or i'll be angry!"

Thirteen sighed and nodded as he hugged her tightly and said "I'm sorry, Carrot." Carrot smiled and kissed him gently as she said "It's okay. I know you love me and you'll come back." Thirteen smiled and kissed her all over her face and said "I do, I love you a lot." Carrot giggled and scrunched up her face as she said "Me too. Stop! It tickles!" Thirteen laughed and kept going as she giggled.

5 months later

Thirteen was about to leave Zou with Rayleigh. He turned around and said "Thank you Inuarashi and Nekomamushi for training me and letting me stay here." Nekomamushi waved and said "It's your home too-nyan" Inuarashi nodded and said "Yeah come back anytime-woof!" Carrot wiped her puffy eyes as she stood in front of Thirteen and said "You have everything?" Thirteen patted the massive bag behind him and said "I didn't forget a single thing. I have all the clothes, books, and pictures..." he whispered in her ear "I especially didn't forget the rabbit stuffed toy." Carrot laughed and hugged him, Thirteen said "You have my vivre card?" Carrot nodded and showed him.

Thirteen smiled and nodded before kissing her and saying "I'll see you in a while okay? Stay away from perverts!" Carrot giggled and said "You're the only pervert I see here.." before she started crying again. Inuarashi coughed and said "Carrot!" Nekomamushi pointed to his hands, Carrot looked over and said "Ah! I almost forgot! Wait don't leave me yet!" as she ran away.

Thirteen sighed and rubbed his forehead, Rayleigh said "Kid I gotta say, you're really something else." Thirteen said "Thanks, it's great. I don't know how you do it. You just disappear for months or years at a time and Shakky is completely fine." Rayleigh said "It's all in the technique, you gotta be smooth." Thirteen rolled his eyes and chuckled "Yeah, sneaking out to the gambling hall is pretty smooth. Ahhahahahaha" Rayleigh choked and snapped "Oi! You damn kid, you think I won't beat your ass?" Thirteen laughed.

Carrot came back with a big box, that had a giant '13' on it with a heart under the numbers. She gave him the box and said "I had them made especially for you. So.. I... Uhh... Hope you like them!" Thirteen was amused and chuckled as he opened the box before gapsing.

Inside the box was a pair of gauntlets. The gauntlets were shaped like tiger paws and had claws with nails, he put them on and moved his fingers around, they went up to the middle of his forearm and were pure white with black tiger stripes on them. Carrot said "They can be used with electro so you don't have to take them off-" Thirteen hugged her and kissed her before saying "I love you." Carrot smiled and said "I love you too." Thirteen took off the gloves carefully and placed them in the box gently before placing the box under his arm and saying "Well i'm leaving."

Carrot teared up and said "I'll miss you.." Thirteen froze and said "I'll miss you too.. I'll be back. I promise." as he held her hands and looked into her eyes. She nodded and kissed his forehead saying "Please stay safe. I'll be waiting for you." Thirteen teared up and whispered "I will.. I promise." Carrot hugged him before breaking off and saying "Go. I'll see you later.." he nodded and turned around, leaving with Rayleigh.

Carrot watched them go until Thirteen was out of sight and fell to her knees crying. Inuarashi patted her shoulder and said "It's okay he'll be back, he has our vivre cards anyways. Who knows? Maybe he'll be back sooner rather than later." Carrot cried and said "But I miss him already.." Nekomamushi sighed and said "He'll be back before you know it. Come eat, I made carrot stew." Inuasrashi said "And we have chocolate for dessert!" Carrot nodded and wiped her eyes before following after them, silently praying for Thirteen's safety.

Rayleigh and Thirteen were sitting on a small boat and Rayleigh said "I never got the chance to ask, what happened to the other you?" Thirteen pointed to his eyes and said "He came back to me. He was my emotions that separated from me when I got sold. Now I'm back to normal." Rayleigh smiled and nodded as he said "I trained Luffy for a year and a half. Extra hard." Thirteen smirked and said "Oh yeah? How strong is he now? If he's not strong enough, we might have to change our name to the Rabbit pirates." as he laughed. Rayleigh smirked and said "He's a monster now, probably stronger than you.. I can't believe you didn't let your own uncle train you." Thirteen said "I don't need your training, old man! I'm plenty strong!" he flexed his arm and smirked.

Rayleigh burst out laughing and said "Is that so? What did you do?" Thirteen smiled and explained his training and everything that happened over the 1 and a half years before Rayleigh showed up as the boat slowly sailed towards Sabaody. A storm was brewing and nobody would be able to stop it once it came.
