You’re back at Sabaody Archipelago, after two long years of your individual training. Last time you were there- it felt just like yesterday that you and the Strawhats were fighting for your lives and suffered defeat, then got transported to all random parts of the Grand Line. You were desperate to get back to Sabaody in three days until the events at Marine ford and then time after that, when Luffy carried out the message that you guys would meet up again within two years, you had two years to get stronger for your captain and crew.

You were a bit curious and very excited to see how everyone else developed. So, as you stepped foot on the island, navigating your way to Shakky’s and Rayleigh’s shop, you put your belongings down thinking you arrived first since none of your crew mates were in there.

Apparently Zoro, Franky, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper were already on the Island in town passing time. So as you waited as well, you figured that waiting in town and wandering about was also a good idea.

As you were walking through the busy streets you felt something small hit your leg and you stumbled a bit, then somehow tripped over your own foot and fell.

“Oh!” Said an awfully familiar high pitched voice. The source of the voice stood in front of you, “I”m sorrrry. Did I end up tripping you, you ok right?” The creature said, genuinely worried.

As you looked up both you and the creature paused, sharing calculating stares at each other. Big eyes.. brown fur… Racoon looking? A ‘X’ on the hat… It was Chopper!

He seemed to recognize your features and your smell too, “Wait.. {{user}}! Is that actually you?!” He shouted, when you confirmed that, you guys both shared an embrace.

“It’s been a while! Let’s catch up! I’m so happy to see you!” He said, super excited and jumping up and down in joy, “Look! I learned so much, you know!- wait, did you see the others yet?!- I haven’t yet so you’re the first person I saw!”
