---------------------------------
(Roberts: POV)
Ignoring the pain from my wounds I made my way outside.
The moment I did so I saw the others waiting for me alongside Weisz and his mother.
The latter of which is giving the former and earful.
Ignoring this since I did not want to face the wraith of an anime mom I walked over to the others.
"So, is it done?" I asked.
"Yes." Law answered. "Now sit down so I can treat those wounds."
"Yes, yes." I said. Since I knew not to argue with Law when he was in "doctor mode" as I like to call it.
Sitting down I let Law examine me and then treat my wounds. Until eventually he was finished.
As I stood back up to my feet I noticed Weisz and his mother were looking at us.
The moment after I did so Weisz mother bowed her head, and used one of her hands to force Weisz head down as well. "On behalf of my son and I I thank you from the bottom of my heart. He told me what he did to you and as his mother I want to apologize on his behalf. I also want to give you all the money he made from that event as well. As a token of our gratitude."
"Mom we can't!" Weisz suddenly shouted.
"Quiet Weisz!" Weisz mother snapped at him.
The two of them then looked at each other and locked eyes.
"Do you mean to not repay these people for saving us?!" She asked her son.
"I do but...if we give them the money we won't be able to buy your medicine." Weisz explained.
"Am, if you want we might have a solution for that issue as well." I spoke.
When I did so Weisz and his mother looked at me.
"Law, if you would please take a look at Weisz's mother and see if you can't treat her disease." I spoke to him.
He nodded at my words. "Sure."
"Stop messing around." Weisz said. "It doesn't matter if your friend Law is a doctor, all of the ones my mom has been to say the same thing. She will be stuck with this disease for the rest of her life."
"While normally I would agree with you when Law is involved that is not the case. For his devil fruit abilities can create medical miracles." I explained. "Just trust me."
"I...Alright." Weisz said.
When he did so I smiled. "Excellent. Now then, while Law examine Weisz mother the rest of us will search the mansion for all the Hyena gang treasure. Bepo, Alfia, with me."
Once I gave my orders we split up.
Alfia, Bepo, and I started searching the mansion for the gangs treasure while Law stayed with Weisz and his mother and began his examination of her.
By the time we re-grouped my group had collected all the treasure the Hyena gang had stashed away in their headquarters, while Weisz and his mother were crying tears of joy.
"So I take it you can cure Weisz mother?" I asked Law.
"Yeah. I can." Law replied.
"Excellent. Then its' good news all around since we found all the treasure of the Hyena gang." I spoke. Showing Law's group one of the bags I carried filled with money and jewels.
Now buying or having someone build us a ship won't put a major dent in our finances.
A good night all around.
-------------------------------------------
Two week have passed since my crew and I took down the Hyena gang.
After we did so the atmosphere of Wishing Well became brighter. Their tormenters gone the people of the island could finally flourish without any sort of restraint.
During this time Law also fully cured Weisz mom of her chronic illness.
My crew and I also purchased a ship.
Standing at one of Wish Wells numerous docks I gazed at my crews ship.
The one that would take us on the many coming adventures we would undertake. A smile on my face.

"The ships a real beauty." A familiar voice spoke.
Turning to my left I saw Weisz, and his mother whose name I finally learned is Wilda, approaching me.
"That she is." I replied. "That she is. So, Weisz and miss Wilda, what brings you both here today?"
"I came to see your ship. As well as once again say how sorry I am for all the trouble I caused you guys. For all that you've done for me, my mother, and my home I can never repay you." Weisz told me.
"It's fine, it's fine. Though if you really do want to do something to repay me how about you join my crew?"
When I said this Weisz looked at me like I was crazy. But I am very sane at the moment.
"Me, join your crew? Become a pirate?" Weisz questioned.
"Yeah." I replied. "You have a good head on your shoulders, can think on your feet, and seem like you want to adventure on the open seas. Not to mention your mom told me how you always dreamed of going out to sea and saving damsels in distress as their dashing hero."
"Mom!" Weisz cried in embarrassment. His cheeks going red as he did so.
"Fufu, there's no need to be ashamed Weisz. Everyone has dreams." Wilda spoke.
"Right you are Ms. Wilda. For instance my dream is to reach the pinnacle of this world with the strongest crew by my side, and Weisz I would like you to be apart of that crew." I told him.
"This is all too sudden. I need time to think." Weisz told me.
"Too bad, there is no time. We ship out today, so its either yes or no right here right now." I told him.
"You planned this didn't you?" Weisz asked me.
"Yep." I replied shamelessly.
I actually discussed Weisz joining the crew with the others three days ago. Law and Bepo easily gave the green light, but Alfia took a bit more convincing. Though in the end we all agreed to have Weisz join us.
From what I saw over these past two weeks he's got a knack for building and repairing. During one of my few talks I had with his mother she even told me how much he loved tinkering with machines and the like.
A man like this is perfect to be my crews shipwright.
At my answer to his question Weisz gave me a dirty look which I ignored.
"I, sorry, but I can't." Weisz said.
"Weisz." His mom spoke up.
He then turned to look at her.
"You should go with them." Wilda said.
"But what about you?" He asked.
"It's ok. I'm better now. I can take care of myself." Wilda explained. "You've looked after me for a long time. You've been such a good boy. But it's time for you to live your own life, have your own adventures. I know I did when I was your age. So go and see the world. And remember, I'll be here waiting for you to return." She said. Giving Weisz a motherly smile at the end.
She then removed a pendant she was waring around her neck and put it around Weiszs' "I've had this for a long time. Now I'm passing it on to you. May it keep you safe."
"Mom." Weisz said. Tears streaming down his face as he did so.
The mother and son then shared and emotional hug.
As they did so I decided to focus on anything else as to not ruin their moment.
A few seconds passed before it ended.
Once it did so Weisz wiped the tears from his face and faced me, and I did the same.
"I've changed my mind. I'll join your crew." Weisz said.
"Welcome aboard then." I told them,
The two of us then shook hands.
Signaling the start of a beautiful friendship in my opinon.
