Luffy hikes up the familiar path, singing out of key loudly. The crew behind him cared little for the Pirate King's song; though little Ocean sang lightly from her father's shoulder, where she sat.
Zoro turns and began walking off the path and into the dense forest that surrounded them. Nami noticing this, rushes after the swordsman and grabbing onto his arm began dragging the confused man back.
"Almost there!" Luffy shouts behind him, his crew nods or mumbles their acknowledge.
Chopper also was getting excited, he had been there once before, when he and Luffy stayed during the worst snow storm to hit Dawn Island. It had trapped them there for a whole year; the rest of the crew had gone to their homes, it was only meant to be a month's rest and catch up with friends and family, however because of their trapped captain it turned into something longer.
During his time on his home island, some ten years ago, Luffy married and had had a 'litter' as Chopper called them. Three sons and a daughter. Whenever they went to the East Blue they made a special trip to see Luffy's children, they could not have five children on board a pirate's ship, twelve year old Ocean was enough.
However now that the children were ten, they was rethinking things. They was going to ask them if they wanted to stay with the mountain bandits and their mother, or go with their father on the open sea.
"We're here!" Luffy screams at the top of his lungs as he rushes towards the old home; the wooden doors flew open, crushing against the wall with a loud bang, four forms came running full speed grinning madly as their dog-piled their father to the ground.
Laughing Luffy allows himself to go down, behind him he hears his crew reaching where he was. Soon the children let him up, and he stretched his arms around them, holding them together in a bone crushing hug.
Still their grins never faded from their faces, all having great love for the mad man called 'father'.
"Ace! Sabo! Lucy! Dan!" Luffy cries out grinning wider than they ever could, "I missed you guys!"
They children all began chatting at once, causing him to grin more as he tries to listen to each one. A low growl makes them stop and glance behind them; looking towards the doorway, Luffy sees his 'wife'.
Curly Dadan, his adopted mother and later his 'wife' the real mother of his offspring. On seeing the large old woman he leaps to his feet, children in arm, and bounces over to her in greeting. He give her a sloppy kiss on the cheek then turns for his crew to come in.
The now old grey haired women, sighs deeply, she walks into the large wooden cabin allowing Luffy's crew access. Luffy squeezes through, refusing to let go of his children, they were laughing wildly finding this highly amusing.
Nami shakes her head, turning she pulls her own unwilling husband along; Ace glares at her, then turns to Sanji who was staring sadly at Luffy's disappearing form.
Behind Ace Franky eyes up the fireman's back, his heart causing him pain it the sight of him being with Nami.
Zoro and Brook stroll pass them, the two happily married mates unaware of their crew members struggles of the heart. Chopper also not noticing rushes through the doorway just after Luffy and ducking passed the swordsman's and musician's legs.
Usopp walks with his daughter still on his shoulder, while Robin plays with her with two arms sprouting out of the marksman's head. They pat-a-caked along while singing the words fast, trying to end it before entering.
Garp mumbles under his breathe about how his grandson should have found a better younger wife, he stalks into the cabin, making the bandits inside shiver.
