After staying in the sleeping quarters for who knows how long, they were finally brought back in the Pandemonium and for some unknown reason, there were some futons at the ground.

"Those looks warm and comfortable!" Nami said, seeing the futons sprawled throughout the whole floor...or not. Well, she doesn't really know because she have yet to see the end of this room. It's like an endless space, but they were surrounded by Darkness so she doesn't really know.

"Well, Welcome Back!~" That velvety voice greeted them again.

The familiar experience of the sound resonating throughout the whole place made them realized how different it is to stay inside the sleeping quarters and in this place. To them, the sleeping quarters is a place that's closed to normal— If it weren't for the fact that they have to share the same room with their enemies then it'll be considered normal.

"I decided to give you all comfort while watching! Who knows, you might end up watching something....tragic." The cloaked girl said, voice dripping with unknown emotions.

"Tragic?" Everyone sure is confused, but in an instant they were placed back in their places such thoughts disappear.

"So are you gonna explain what these dolls are?" Thatch asked, taking the small doll away from Ace who childishly pouted at the action, but decided to keep himself silent. After all, he's also curious.

"I'll say, It doesn't sound right comparing this doll to Oyaji yoi." Marco stared at the small doll, internally comparing the size of it to Whitebeard's form.

The girl chuckled before sighing, "We'll save that for later. After all, there's a huge chance that we'll have another company."

"Another company?" Zoro confusedly asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It means there's another soul joining us! Though it might not be now, some will eventually come...." She trailed, before grinning as she stood up from her spot. "Setting that aside—

"DON'T SET IT ASIDE!" Everyone yelled.

Brushing their reactions aside, the girl smiled. "How about you guys take a seat so we could start?"

That's right. They clearly forgot for a matter of minutes that they have a sole purpose here, to fix those 'memories' that got destroyed. Whether they are willing to do so or not, it doesn't really matter because they would have to if they wanted to go out of this place.

So calming themselves in an instant, each of them wordlessly took their seats.

"Wahh!! This is so soft!" Chopper suddenly exclaimed after he sat down.

"And warm." Nami added.

"This feels comfortable indeed. I could feel the warmth bringing comfort to relax the cells in my body. " Brook said, before he look up and his hollow eyes stared at nothingness. "But I don't have cells because I'm all bones. Yohohoho!"

'That isn't necessary at all. ' Sabo thought, smiling at the weirdness of his little brother's crew.

"A skeleton is talking?" Ace's eyes widen in shocked as he muttered to himself, though his voice was overhead by his crew.

"YOU JUST NOTICED?!"

Well, indeed, he just noticed that. All because he's too focus in the matter of saving Luffy.

"That's awesome!" Ace suddenly chuckled, "Well, I don't really feel that surprised. Luffy has this advanced instinct to picked up handful of people. "

" You're unbelievable yoi. You actually just noticed it." Marco said.

" Well, I wasn't paying attention."

"Oh. I thought you fell asleep." Thatch said in a teasing voice. A grunt left his lips when he felt Ace's elbow his side.

"Are you done?" A calm yet bored voice suddenly caused silence.

Ace sigh, and lazily sat on the warm futon with his arms propped into it to keep his body still.

"We could start, I guess."

"Now...." Spreading her arms, a calm smile etched across her face before the glass balls with the orbs inside appeared out of thin air, all floating at the top of each respective choosers.

"Let's start with—

" Woman! I decide that mine shall goes first than anyone else!"

And overall confident voice cut her off, causing the cloaked girl to pause, before she sigh, and turned towards the owner of that voice.

Someone actually dared to used that tone towards the person who has complete control in this place. Everyone isn't only nervous, but also scared. They're praying for the person who have that much guts to survive the wrath of the cloaked girl.

It was no surprise to them to see that the one who spoke is the Empress Boa Hancock, who's pointing at the cloaked girl with her looking down pose.

That was no surprise to them. Not at all.

However, the light chuckle that escaped the cloaked girl's mouth caused everyone's eyes to widen. The chuckle was that of amusement, not even a hint of anger or irritation.

She's alright with it? They wonder.

"Of course. I don't have any qualms with that." She sat up in a criss-cross manner, her hands placed in her ankles as she tilted her head. The only thing they could see is half of her face, and the straight line of her lips gives away no emotion at all.

Boa Hancock frowned, "Tell me where's Luffy now!"

Since Boa Hancock didn't changed her position, and was still glaring above with her looking down pose, she failed to noticed the frown that etched across the cloaked girl's face. "Did you not listen to what I have explained before?"

" Whether I listened or not, it's off no importance! We've been spending time looking through my beloved's memories and I demand you to tell me where exactly is he!"

That caused silence.

Boa didn't move, remaining in her 'I'm looking down on you' pose. The cloaked girl also remained silent, not saying anything. However, the deep frown on her half visible face already gave away her emotion.

She's angry, if not, mad.

Boa Hancock, you shouldn't have opened your mouth!

"Where he is, you asked?" The cloaked girl calmly response, her smile once again appearing. However, it was clearly different.

"He's in a place where he belongs, and you know what's amazing about it?"

Her smile. It was....dark.

"It's the fact that it wasn't anywhere near you at all."
