He had become famous in the two years away from the Strawhats. A musician of such glory and acclaim that he warranted thousands of tone dial releases and then re-released. Tours and then a world tour!

Of course on the world tour there was a stretch where he felt lonely.

A crushing loneliness where he missed his nakama terribly and almost turned away from them and his new life with them. Strangely it was not when he was alone.

In fact it was nearly a dream come true, a nonstop party ship filled with music, dancers that were inspired to create new styles of dance just for his song, good food, good drink, and scads and scads of women who beg to show him their panties and give them to him upon request. More panties than his skeletal hands can hold.

But this party ship on this tour, it’s traveling so close to a small deserted patch of blue. A stones throw away from the reverse mountain and a nakama who doesn’t know he still exists.

How easy it would be, if he could get away from these people…but he needs to keep on schedule or he’ll never meet up with Luffy and the others on time.

Another perfumed piece of silk is pushed into his hands and he realizes a pretty young thing is requesting a song and maybe more.

So he plays Bink’s Sake, not for her or himself, but for the nakama so close…and those eight others so far. And okay maybe a little for himself, to remind himself he’s see them soon enough.

He can almost hear a whale in a distance sing along in agreement. Almost.
