Luffy slided down. They had arrived at Northendell. Irene screamed slightly in surprise as Luffy maneuvered so fast that he fell with a loud thud on the ground. As usual, everyone was on standby with their own weapons pointing at the dragon.
Arielle opened her eyes and saw the figure of Ronan who stood up straight. The man looked unfazed even when a dragon appeared right before his eyes. Violet descended more violently than Luffy, causing Arthur to fall to the ground.
Arielle slowly got off Luffy's back and carried Irene down. Irene, who was still afraid of crowds, hid behind Arielle's body, burying her face while tightly gripping Arielle's dress with trembling hands.
Luffy nudged Arielle's body with his head. The girl replied by stroking the yellow dragon's head gently.
"Luffy, thank you so much for being my friend."
"Me too, Arielle. I can grow because of you. I will miss you."
