The 2 years seem a forever for the captain as his painful wounds were taking time for them to heal. Today, was the day Luffy had waited had always waited for - was becoming a reality. He felt that the chains that bounded him to past was finally unlocked. Eternity. Seem like the best words to fit his agonising pain that had take it's time heal. He had made new friends who like a temporarily family for him - Jinbei, Rayleigh , Amazon lily and obviously Boa Hancock who seem like a manic at times. Ace was the name that was forever tattoo into his soul that haunted him in his sleep as the time with new family made forget the sinister ghost that tugged his soul out of his body. But at the present time he was bidding his goodbyes to The kuja Pirates. They were full of strange women who believe in strange curses and stories about men. The time they spent with Luffy had made them change their mind.

Hancock stood in front of luffy catching his attention. A smile grew on her face as she had walk to the big, cream bag that stood oddly on the ships deck. Hancock said "Luffy, I have pack for you - 50 extra changes of clothes, 1000 lunches, handkerchiefs and tissues, 5 years' worth pf towel, 3 years' worth of water and snacks , silverware. Toothbrushes, soap, hand creams and 3 years' worth of bug bite ointment and..."

The old hag twitch in anger as she glared at the empress "Make it lighter!" Granny Nyon shouted loudly. Laughter escape Luffy mouth as he stared at the duo - who were arguing with one and another. Hancock, ran back into the ship deck, dragging the bag behind her into the kitchen. "I hope you can meet your friends safely." Marigold said with a slight chuckle. A smile grew on Luffy face as he giggled. "Thank you for everything!" Luffy replied.

Marget started at Luffy as she felt her heart tugged, this will be the last time she will be seeing him. "Good luck." The word slipped out as she stared at his eyes. "I've heard Sabody has become unsafe these days." Luffy turned his whole attention to sweet pea.

Granny Nyon coughed, gaining the crews attention- she finally spoke. "Yes. That's why the Navy is paying a lot of attention to what goes on there." Everyone nodded in agreement, quickly Hancock dashed to Luffy.

Hancock played with her fingers as a blush creep up her cheeks Luffy. She quietly spoke "Luffy... could you do me a favor?"

Luffy stared at Hancock in the eyes thinking for a moment - he slightly titled his head as he grabbed his chin. "What is it I am not going to marry you". He chuckled as he stared at the bashful girl. Hancock spoke as she fixed her glaze on Luffy "No I just want you to leave without saying goodbye." She tore her glaze from him ad she stared at the ground - her heart thumped loudly in her chest.

Luffy: "Oh, I've never said it to anyone... I wanna see you again!"

Hancock blushed as she place her hands to mouth with surprise of what Luffy had just said. Luffy laughed loudly enjoying her reaction to his comment. He got off the Kuja pirate ship into his own little boat. He was wearing a coat which contain some much memories for him both happy times and sad times which has torn his heart two. As it absorb both the bitter and sweet time for the future pirate king - the warm, fuzzy , long coat belonged to the most beautiful person that manged to sooth his heart through the time of pain. His hands softly brushed against the coat as he thought of the owner of the leopard print coat. Luffy thought as he carressed the printed material "This jacket... smells of Hancock," a smiled gleam across his face. "SEE YOU!" Where the last words he said as the ship pulled away

Meanwhile on Sabaody:

The ship wait in the hidden spot, well hidden from the preeing eyes of the enemies- somewhere on the ship someone shouted "where the hell is Luffy!". Silence creep onto the ship's deck. In the middle of it, the was an angry ginger hair tapping her feet repeatedly. "I bet you that idiotic captain is causing problems on the island again!" She released deep heavey sigh as stared at the crew. Robin stepped out as she giggled "That's our captain for you Nami -what do you expected?"

Usopp and chopper began laughing as they started talking secretly to one and another. Chopper chuckled "hey, one. Two now." They both sprung up and ran in the middle of the deck. "What are you guys playing at?" Only to received a mischievous smile as an answer. "One, two, three... Super!" They imitated Franky as they shook their ass like Franky.. A smile grew on the crew as they were distracted by the indulgence of being stupid. "You guys..."wiped a tear from his eyes " but you guys can't beat this, mecha" He shoke his ass as he touched his nose - which changed his hair, "Hahha, your awesome Franky ... I can't wait to see how Luffy has changed!" Usopp said as he started to prance around. The crew nodded in agreement.

Franky scratched his head as stared Nami, "Hey, hey! Contact Zoro and Sanji and ask if they had found Luffy yet."

Nami shrugged her shoulder, "looIII am already trying but they are not picking up !" She said as slightest vein popped out of her forehead as she clenched her fist tightly. The sunny go was top shape as its coating stop it from getting dirty. Usopp and Chopper seem to be amazed by Franky new body as they clinged on to him. Nami and Robin both turned around to see Franky having his Speedo on his head - both shocked by his hairy ass...

Den-Den-Mushi:"Hello, anyone! Nami picked up and listen to me - Hey that's not how you speak to a lady muscle head. Shut up - lover boy!"

The argument grew louder on the Den-Den-Mushi - as they began to piss off on certain Navigator who had the shortest temper. The familar voices echoed through the Den-Den-Mushi that was sitting on the navigator pale hands.

Nami: Shut up! both of you ! I SWEAR WHEN I FIND THE BOTH OF YOU I'LL KILL YOU!

Den-Den-Mushi: (silences)….. Anyways like I was saying - we're in trouble head to grove 42 we'll meet you there.

Nami: "What Has happened now" she said whilst rubbing her forehead

Den-Den-Mushi: The marine has surround us as they found out Luffy identity Nami-swan - Anyways luffy is behind us SO HURRY THE UP YOU STUPID WOMEN.

Robin: Ok ,will heading there as soon as possible ZORO!'

Den-Den-Mushi: - (DISCONNECTED)

Nami looked at the sea vengeful, Robin didn't like that look "stupid Prick turning it off!... Anyways it seem like we got to hurry to get there. Franky change of area - WE'RE HEADING GROVE 42"

Meanwhile GROVE 42...

" Rayleigh!" Luffy who was running at full speed stop for a moment and stared at his mentor who stood there smiling. Everyone stopped to look to see why the missing strawhat was calling an infamous pirate - to distress the marine look up see to the man who ruled the sea. The first man of the Pirate king's pirate group the dark king Rayleigh. "Thank you, for everything... you have done for me! Luffy screamed at the highest pitch of his voice. Rayleigh laughed "this isn't like you Luffy - Just get going!". Luffy took a stepped forward extending his arms out. " Rayleigh, I am going to do it! I am going to be the PIRATE KING!" Marines stared in amazement at the statement that was pouring out of this young man that was standing there with confidences. Slowly, tears we're pouring out of Rayleigh - he smiled as sofly whispered I know.

Sergeant screamed "Why are you standing there go get them! Don't you dare let them escape we want their heads!"

The marines roared as felt ever more determined to catch the most dangerous man son - Monkey D. Luffy. They started to charged forward at Luffy - they all started to leg it as fast as they could. Suddenly, the weak, feeble marines was gaining on them. But then a dust cloud appear in front of the bunch up ants, who were losing a their sense of direction. They tried to stepped forward as a long line appeared on the ground in front of the marine as fell in to empty pit of darkness. Slowly they look up to the chuckling man... Rayleigh - they started to quake with fear..

Someone shouted to the trio ": Luffy! Zoro! Sanji!"

All them took to see the person in front - smiles stretched on their faces... They look up to see they friends, their crew, their waving at them. How many years has it been already since they all met again after that unfortunate event to left them torn a part inside. The wounds were finally closed for Luffy as his heart was at peace at now.

"You look different luffy - …. what's that on your chest Luffy!" They surrounded him in concern. Luffy at look at Usopp and spoke "Oh, this ?"

Luffy touch his scar as he slowly rubbed as the memory rushed into his mind - the crew stared at him sadly. A small frown formed on this face; wrinkles appeared on his forehead. The memories flowed into his minded.

Flashback:

Luffy attempts to rush back to Ace's aid but he slowly and painfully feles to his knees as Ace's vivre card slipped out his weaken hands in the process. Jinbe ran to Luffy as he was at his limit. Jinbe tried to jump to protect him it seem that every was slow down, he was going to lose everything. However, Akainu's attention turns to Luffy as he faces his back to Ace to attack the younger, feeble brother. Ace notice that Akainu's attack that was aimed to the defenseless Luffy. Luffy eyes began to bulge in fear of death. Suddenly Someone leaps in the way and takes the blow. Luffy's eyes began to tears as he notice who it was Ace. Akainu's molten blow pierces Ace's entire torso. Luffy and Whitebeard's pirates look on in horror while Ace's Vivre Card burns to nothing but dust.

End of flash back:

Luffy's eyes turn teary through the sad remembrances of the death of his loved one - Portgas D. Ace. He sighed heavily, "I'll tell you some other tine!." They eyes had pity in them Luffy felt slight, "I WANT MEAT SNAJI!" They all started to laugh at him as their frowns were flipped upside down. Sanji chuckled "I guess he hadn't change." He whispered as he lit his cigarettes. Usopp's ear twitched to the whistle sounds in the distances - he turned to look but to see the canon heading towards them. " GUYS WE'RE IN TROUBLE - MARIEN... SHIT THREE CANON HEADING HERE!"

Everyone, rushed to the side of the ship to see what going on - however all a sudden the canon fell into the sea like they were pulled down into the captivating sea. The ship was blocking the path of the marines. " isn't that the Kuja pirate ship..." Robin spoke as she stared at the ship in dept but she was sadly interrupted by Usopp, "Isn't that a warlord."

"Yes, Boa Hancock the is leader - apparently her beauty turns anyone to stone." Smiled at Usopp and Brook. Brook grabbed the telescope and look throught it "Amazing.." As he was left speechless. Brook fell to the ground letting the telescope rolling off his hand - Usopp pick up the object place on his eye.

" A GODDESS!" Shout Usopp as he eyes were fixed on her. Usopp fell to the ground as he seen the beautiful that shouldn't exist - Sanji pounce up as snatch the telescope. "Godess... goddess... goddess... goddess... g..." Sanji turned to stone as his heart was ripped out by this beauty. Everyone started to laugh staring at Sanji failing to notice Luffy staring softly into the horizon. He smiled as he felt as warm feeling rushing through him. Luffy though "Boa Hancock thank you for every thing you have done for me... I owe you something that your waiting for..." Luffy laughed loudly caching the crew's attention "Oh! That's Boa Hancock and the others..." Everyone look at Luffy strangely. "You know them..."Usopp asked out curiously.

"I was sent to Amazon lily and become friends with them." Luffy laughed as Sanji look he was going kill him."Wow. I never knew they existed I though it was a legend." Sanji wobbled towards luffy, then suddenly grabbing him by the collar as thebtears trickled down his face, "Were you even training hard!"

Luffy chuckled really loudly and spoke " Yes, I trained very hard Sanji." Sanji wobbled to the great as Brook shrieked "oh my god, she winked at me!" He said as he fell over and hit the ground. Nami shook her head in disgust, "Anyways let's get the hell out of here!" She signaled the Crew to get a move on. Luffy sighed as he whispered her name "Hancock...
