Well, I said that I would continue my LuffyxVivi story and so I did! Yay! Sorry. But anyway, this sort of goes along with the one shot I did of Luffy and Vivi. It takes place about 8 years after that or so. That would make Luffy...umm...25. And Vivi...24. Oh, and I do not own One Piece or any of it's characters! Enjoy!
Prolouge
A man sat on the front of a ship. The old, tattered strawhat on his head blew slightly in the wind. He put his hand over it to hold it down. He had had it for 18 years and didn't want to lose it now. His stomach growled and he hopped down from the lion's head and headed toward the kitchen. He opened the door and went to the large refrigirator which he opened up. He looked around, hoping to find something to eat, but instead, he found it empty.
"I guess I'll have to find a resturant somewhere." he thought. He walked back out on deck and pulled something out of the pocket of his favorite blue shorts. It was an Eternal Pose with the words, "All Blue," written on it. He turned it over in his hand to look at the bottom. There were the words, "From Nami to Luffy. You can always find me."
He smiled. How long had it been now? A year? Two years? He had lost track of time ever since they left.
Ever since they left. Those words echoed through his head often now. Last he had heard, Zoro was doing just fine. He had beaten Mihawk and taken the title of the world's greatest swordsman. Sanji had gone to Baratie after Zeff died. He had currently relocated and was in the All Blue with Nami and their son. Usopp had returned to Syrup Village with amazing stories to tell Kaya and a bounty on his head to prove them. It was said that they were currently engaged. Chopper was traveling the world, curing all who were sick. And Robin, well, it was said that she was still searching for more history and poneglyphs. But of course, no one knew much about her because her work was forbidden. Franky had returned home to Water 7 and had gone back to his former career of being a Big Brother. He also did work for Galley- La on some occasions. They were all gone. He couldn't say that he hadn't seen it coming. It had been bound to happen one day. He had given them their dreams and that meant his time and purpose were through.
He walked into his cabin, which he had used to share with the other men, but now it was huge and empty besides the hammock and small table in the corner. He walked over to the only other object in the room, a small trunk in the corner. He opened it up and pulled out a stack of papers. They were the wanted posters of his entire crew. Their first ones anyway. There was Nami, 16 million. And there was Franky's, 44 million. And there was Chopper's, 50. A small drop of water suddenly hit the papers and he realized he was crying. He shoved the papers back in the trunk and shut the lid. It had been hard to let them go but he was sure it had been the right decision. They all seemed happy now. They were following their own course now and trying to make a difference that would last forever.
He walked into the sick bay. There were a few things of Chopper's left. A few outdated tools, an old discarded needle, and a couple of books. He picked up one of the books and looked at it. It was one that Robin had given Chopper on his birthday one year. He smiled and set the book down and then left the room.
He returned to the deck were he used the Eternal Pose to check his course. He was right on track so far. Food wasn't the only reason he was going to Baratie. He had been thinking of something lately and he needed some advice on girls. And who was better for that then Sanji?
What he had been thinking about was the promise he had made to a girl 8 years ago. Now that he had his dream, he needed to return to her. He had told her he had to leave but that he would be back. Now it was time. The only problem was the bounty on his head. A princess didn't need to marry a pirate. That's what he was going to ask Sanji about. After all, a Pirate King needed a Pirate Queen.
Yeah yeah. I know. Since when can Luffy use an Eternal Pose? But I figured he would have grown up a little and maybe Nami would have taught him how to use one. So anyway, this chapter was just sort of a little intro to the rest of the story. Please review and tell me if I need to fix something. Thanks!
