(Third Person POV)
"Hm....." Myriam said as she leaned her head on her desk, "It feels quite surreal, being back together...."
They were in the Doctor's Quarters, where Myriam and Luna spend most of their days. While the crew was sailing back towards Sabaody, they have been readjusting to life on the ship like always. It was quiet for most of it, but when there was action, Dante and Ryoma would deal with it.
Luna was sitting on a rolling desk chair. "Is that so?" She said, "Yea, I guess you could say that."
"Dante can be such a jerk sometimes." Myriam said with a sigh, "He just left me without saying anything.....what was he thinking?"
"Well, the Iron King owed him a debt." Luna said, leaning back, "So he knew that you'd be safe back there."
"Yea...." Myriam said, "And the others? Gabbie says that nobody but Ryoma were with him when Kaido attacked him. They faced most of the Yonko crew by themselves???"
"Something like that." Luna said with a sigh, "I was stuck tending to Brynden's wounds after the fierce battle we had. It was misfortune after misfortune, Myriam."
"Hm....." Myriam said with a pout
"Kaido would've targeted all of us in our weakened state and who knows what could've happened." Luna said, "But Dante did things to protect us."
"Right...." Myriam said, "But how did he even get himself in that position? To anger a Yonko like that."
"Take a guess." Luna said with a frown
"Hmmmm....." Myriam said, closing her eyes, "I don't want to think of him like that, he's like my brother."
"Even if he is your brother, you should not face away from the truth." Luna said seriously, "Dante is a Man-Whore, through and through. But he means well.....most of the time."
"Hm...." Myriam said
"I know it all too well." Luna sighed, "That's how I got myself in this mess."
"Yea....Gabbie said that." Myriam said, "What happened? I mean, he charmed you, didn't he?"
"Let's just say that I didn't want to be one of his side-pieces, that is all." Luna said, "He is a good person, at heart. And he gets himself in deep shit, needing me to patch him up afterwards. The only reason I became a member is that I believe in his dreams."
"Right...." Myriam said, "His dreams...."
Luna sighed, "Dante had a troubled past." She said softly, "He doesn't talk about it a lot, the time before he and Ryoma became sworn brothers. But I know that it is the reason he is the way he is. He hates the World Government and he'll do whatever to anger them."
"Well, we're back." Myriam said softly, "And we're all okay...."
"Yes, that's all that matters." Luna said with a smile, "Dante is an idiot, someone who has very little self-respect, but he is someone we can count on. And most importantly, he is strong. The time for Dante to throw this world upside down is close, I can feel it."
Myriam looked at her, "I just want him to be happy and live a good life." She said, "I owe him that much, that desire for him. He saved me from a horrifying fate, I will always be grateful to him."
"Don't we all." Luna chuckled, "But now that we're back in action, we should be prepared for anything."
"Yes!" Myriam sat up, "I'm always prepared for anything!"

"So, Eleanor." Gabriella said as she was serving her a plate of food, "Beastmaster, huh?"
Eleanor bowed slightly, "Thank you." She said, "This smells wonderful."
"You mean to weaponize those Devil Fruits, hm?" Gabriella asked, "How are you so certain that it'll work?"
"I...." Eleanor said as she began to eat from the plate, "I have tamed a Beast already."
Gabriella looked a bit surprised, "What?" She said, "Is that so? Like a weapon???"
"Something like that." Eleanor said, pulling a case up from the floor, "From what I understand, these Zoans can fit in an object as small as this."
She opened it and pulled out rifle from it, which was red in color. The flintlock rifle was a bit thicker than an ordinary one and had gold ornaments on it.
"Oh, so are you a sniper?" Gabriella asked, "A gunner, like Myriam!"
Eleanor nodded, "You could say that." She said, "But my true skills lie within riding the Beast that this rifle contains."
"Ohhh....." Gabriella whistled, "Can you pull it out?"
"I would rather not." Eleanor said, "....Odo gets....nervous at sea. It's best if he stays asleep until we reach land."
"Ah, I see." Gabriella chuckled, "Well, I look forward to seeing your Odo in action."
"Thank you." Eleanor smiled slightly, "So far, we have three Beasts in the form of weapons."
"Hm?" Gabriella said
"Grey, Myriam, and myself." Eleanor said
"Yea...." Gabriella looked over to the large case that Grey brought for Myriam, "I wonder what kind of Beast that one is."
"I've seen it." Eleanor said, "And I already did my best in taming it. It is very.....unruly and strong-willed. But Grey claims that Myriam will quell it and I'll finish the job. Some Beasts are more vicious than others."
"Mhm, you can say that again." Gabriella smirked slightly
As they spoke, Brynden was watching them from afar whilst leaning on the railing. Dante was next to him, eating a sandwich that Gabriella had prepared for him.
"Your thoughts on that girl?" Brynden asked
"Promising." Dante said, "Damn, this is a spicy chicken sandwich."
"You think this whole Beast Taming is worth it?" Brynden asked
"If we're going to collect those Zoans, we might as well make use of them." Dante said, "So yea, I think it's worth a shot."
"Alright, I'll trust your judgement." Brynden said
"Say, you went back to Totland?" Dante asked
"Of course not. My family would've imprisoned me." Brynden frowned, "You know how they are."
"Yea, your Mom's a bitch." Dante scoffed
"And you. I heard that you were spotted with Amande one time." Brynden narrowed his eyes, "Are you going to fuck around with my sisters again??? I warned you, it won't end well! My Mother is a vindictive bitch."
"Relax..." Dante said, "It's all good."
"So you say." Brynden said, "But eventually, it's going to bite you in the fucking ass."
"It's all going to turn out good." Dante said, "Wouldn't you like it if you had some nieces or nephews from me?"
"Shut the hell up." Brynden scowled, "You're pushing your luck."
"Ahahahah!" Dante laughed, "Maybe!"
"Well, I like to live life freely!"
