Angel Island, mountaintop villa.
Some time ago, after a vote among the girls, they had ultimately decided to renovate the villa's backyard for a second time, adding a large swimming pool sixty meters long and fifty meters wide.
The pool had just been completed today, and since Yamato and the others would be setting sail again for adventure tomorrow, the girls decided to throw a pool party to see them off.
"Come on!
No need for fear, no need for unease!
My wish is everyone's wish;
As long as we sing, the skies in our hearts will clear..."
By the pool, Uta, dressed in a white bikini, stood before the microphone and speakers, singing and dancing with complete abandon.
In the spacious pool, Shirahoshi, Kuina, Shyarly, Isca, and the others were happily splashing around. Even Devil Fruit users who could not swim, such as Perona, wore swim rings and jumped into the water to play with everyone. They had even started a game of water volleyball.
Whoosh—!
A red flash flickered through the air as a Spatial Gate silently opened. Sephiroth and Nami stepped out from the world beyond the gate and arrived beside the pool.
As the two appeared, Kozuki Hiyori, Yamato, Black Maria, Sugar, Monet, Shyarly, Shirahoshi, Kuina, Isca, Brulee, Uta, Perona, and Reiju all let out a soft, perfectly synchronized sigh. Their expressions seemed to say, "Here we go again!"
Sephiroth: "..."
Splash—!
Yamato, wearing a white one-piece swimsuit that accentuated her curves, leaped out of the pool, took off her swim ring, and walked over to Nami. She grabbed both of Nami's hands and said with a grin:
"You're Nami, right!
Sephiroth said you're the best navigator in the world. Welcome to my pirate crew. From now on, let's adventure all over the world together!"
