Chapter 2
    Sano came back into the nurse's office with Mizuki's book-bag saving her from answering Dr. Umeda. As she was leaving he told her that he was looking forward to the next time they meet.  As Sano and Mizuki headed back to the dorm, he told her that Nakatsu left with Yujiro when she asked about the dog. Sano was about to asked her if she was a girl, but change his mind leaving Mizuki confused.  Once they got to the dorm, a tearful Nakatsu apologized to Mizuki who already forgave him. The next day, as she was walking to school with Nakatsu and thinking what to do about the school doctor as they passed a board that has a picture of Sano on top of Mizuki(that happen on chapter 1 because of Yujiro jumping on Sano who fell on top of Mizuki). Sano passed by ripping the picture and tossing it in the trashcan. He headed to a second year classroom with Mizuki following close behind.  He went up to Nihonbashi's desk and told him not to do anything like that again and left. Nihonbashi stopped Mizuki saying something about what it is like in America with all the gay guys. She got mad and punched him hurting her hand in the process.
    After school, Mizuki tried to go home with Sano but he walked away from her. In the end, she walked home with Nakatsu and talked about Sano not wanted to talk to her. As Nakatsu was looking at Mizuki,(a flowery background surrounds Mizuki) his heart thumped and he blushed when Mizuki grabs his arm to leave when she saw Sano with a girl. Afterwords, she came back with Yujiro and hid behind a bush as she tried to eavesdrop. Sano and girl were talking about why he quit the high jump and that he should return. The girl, Rika, blamed herself about the accident, because Sano protected her from a car resulting him to quit the high jump. Mizuki ran away when Yujiro reveals her hiding spot to Sano and Rika.  After Sano talked to his friend, he and Mizuki walked together to the dorm. She asked why he was avoiding her, he was about to say because she's a girl he doesn't know how to treat them. Lucky, she didn't hear anything.
    The following day, Mizuki tells Dr. Umeda the truth and she didn't care if he threaten her to quit the school. At the end he didn't care if she stayed in the school. She asked how he knew she was a girl, he told her bluntly that he was gay. After her talk with Dr. Umeda, she sees Sano's friend, Rika.

//****Summary****//
Chapter 1
    A Japanese-American girl named, Mizuki Ashiya, decided to go to the same High School that her idol, high jumper, Izumi Sano attends.  The only problem is that Izumi attends an all-boys high school, Osaka Private High School, located in Japan. In order for her to attend the all-boys school was to cross-dress as a boy and hide her gender. Not only was she going to attend the school, she was also going to live in the dorms. She ends up in the same class as Sano and makes him think that she's gay when she said that she likes him and wants to be friends. Another classmate, Shoichi Nakatsu, told her not to worry about Sano that he just misunderstood her. He was also the one to show her to dorm 2 and to see what room she was in. Dorm 2 has a mascot, a dog named Yujiro that jumped on her and likes girls only. So I guess he is the first to know that she's a girl.  She ended up being the roommate of Sano and found out that he had quit the long jump. Then she meet dorm 2 R.A., Minami Nanba, who explain the rules of the dorm as he lead her to the cafeteria.  The following day, during the timed running, Mizuki got the lowest time and beat Nakatsu's time; and because of the person that timed her, she ended up running away from the clubs that were chasing her to make her join.
    In the evening, Nakatsu challenge her to a soccer match and whoever made the first goal wins. She accepts because she's a man(that is what she thinks) and she ends up getting knock out by Nakatsu who accidentally hit her. Sano was walking Yujiro and saw what happened. He tells Nakatsu to run ahead and talk to the doctor and he will carry Mizuki to the nurse's office, because of that he found out Mizuki is a girl.

One Piece Chapter 723: Change of Plans

one piece chapter 723
    Zoro, Kinemon, and Wicca were the ones that ended up staying while Sanji went to help their crew-mates, because he claimed that Nami wanted to see him and not Zoro.  Before he left, he gave Kinemon a map of the Toy House where Kinemon's comrade is; and told Zoro to call the Sunny once he meet up with Luffy.
    At the Colosseum ZoroKinemon, and Wicca(She is hiding inside of Zoro's shirt) are standing in front of the entrance, but can't get in because the gate is closed. Kinemon said that they shouldn't behave suspiciously and Zoro was about to do the opposite by cut an opening in the gate. But was stopped before he did it.  Bartolomeo saw Zoro and once again started to acting like a fan-boy while crying.
    Meanwhile at the Dressrosa palace, Baby 5 and Gladius are drinking tea(I think that's what it is), he is mad that Violet betrayed them and that she shouldn't be allowed to live. Violet also ruin the plan that he was going to use to take one strawhat at a time.
   During that time, Violet and Sanji are riding a toy horse towards Green Bit. Sanji is acting like a fool in love as he asked why she didn't wait at the harbor like they promised. Violet answered that the Marines where at the harbor. Sanji was surprise that she gather the information in a short time. She explain that her Senrigan borrows the visions of birds within a 4000 mile radius. As she was talking she saw a lighting hit the Sunny.
    On the Sunny, Nami asked if they should dump Jora into the sea, Chopper comment that she is an ability user. Brook gives a comment that doesn't relate to what Nami and Chopper are talking about. That's when they found out that Doflamingo didn't step down as a member of the Shickibukai. Another thing that they found out about was the plan about Violet having one of their crew-mates spill the beans.
   With Law, Doflamingo, and Admiral FujitoraDoflamingo thought that he had won against Law and that he didn't have time to chat since he was going to go after the strawhats. He did not want to commit the same mistake others did by underestimating them in a fight. Somehow Admiral Fujitora heard thunder, Doflamingo dismisses it and Law didn't since he knew it was Nami's attack; and that the Sunny was near. Caeser tells Doflamingo to give him his heart that he was able to steal from Law. Law mentions that he never said it was Caeser's heart, it ended up being a marine soldier's heart. When Admiral Fujitora heard his man cry out, for that slight second he got distracted and Law took the change to use his ability to get away from the Admiral Fujitora's gravity, Once again, Law got Caeser and headed to the bridge with Doflamingo not far behind.  Law does that to keep Doflamingo away from the Sunny, so that Nami and the rest had time to escape with Caeser once he was on board. But the plan didn't work since Doflamingo saw the Sunny and headed to the ship to the horror of Nami, Brook, Chopper, and Momo. Sanji arrive just in time to save his crew-mates who were relieve to see him. This is where the chapter ends.
