Chapter 2: Usa Finds Out

Each member thought they were lucky, being named of after their past lives. Ko knew either herself, Robin or Nami would definitely would be renamed after her. Over the course of 5 years they pretended to just be normal babies though it was kind of hard as Ko kept glaring at Gen whenever he visited… Gen developed a weird fear of her. Ko and Robin were the first to speak… Luffy as predicted was last, funny story when they were three Usa deiced to see which ones inherited the Vegetarian Gene, only two did Ko and Chopper… everyone was hopping Luffy would inherit it but he didn't after he ate meat for the first time in years he yelled out "Meat!" happily. Of course Ko afterwards gloated to Zoro, Nami and Usopp that she was right, he did learn at three. As they got older Usa noticed that their personalities were similar to their past lives: Luffy was well you know… Luffy, Ko was sarcastic and a little mean to "Little Brother Sanji", Zoro slept a lot... more than his siblings and often got into fight with "Little Brother Sanji", Chopper really liked "Grandpa Moko's Wife" Dr. Kureha... they didn't call her "Grandma" or the risqué "Great Grandma", Nami had a piggy bank that she wouldn't share with anyone, Usopp made up sorties a lot and even had a sling shot, Robin was quiet and read a lot and Sanji… well while on occasion he helped his mom cook he still hit on the ladies… those who weren't disturbed at first gave him the nickname "Shin-Chan" after the manga character who's a 5 year old pervert, Usa often says she's don't mind as long "He doesn't start drawing around his penis and call it his little elephant" he also got into fights with "Big brother Zoro". After a while, Ko realized that Usa knew they were reincarnations but didn't know that they had their memories… Ko told the others about this. But one day that changed….

It was almost bed time, there will two bedrooms, one for the girls which was relatively clean and the boys room… which was a 5 years old boys room… messy. Every night Usa would tell her children sorties about her short time as a pirate, when she was a thief and other adventures she had a child before bed. In the boys room as it was bigger. It was chaos right before story time, Zoro and Sanji got into a physical fight while everyone else but Nami had a pillow fight, Robin tuned out the chaos by reading.

Usa entered the room "Okay guys it's…"

But was cut off by a pillow hitting her square in the face… those in the pillow right stopped what they were doing.

"Sorry…" said Luffy who was the who threw the pillow.

"That's okay Luffy…" said Usa picking up the pillow.

Those who were in the pillow fight got to where they sat when Usa told them the stories… however…

"Zoro… Sanji…" said Usa tapping her foot.

They continued to fight.

Usa turned on her Ki and picked them up and separated them.

"Now, now you two… if you continue to fight... you'll ruin story time for the rest of you…" said Usa.

"Fine but Zoro's the one who started it…" said Sanji.

"No I'm not… you are!" yelled Zoro.

"Sanji was the who started it…" said Ko.

"It doesn't it matter…" said Usa.

Both sat down as Usa sat in a rocking chair in the room.

"What should I tell… Oh I know… it was during the Jusenkyo Incident. One day while Zoro was training with Ko, he hit his head while as a girl…" said Usa.

The reincarnated pirates slowly turned to Zoro to see what his reaction would be… considering this story was something they swore they would never tell him…

"The knock to the head made him think he was a girl…" said Usa.

Zoro rabbit ears twitched slightly…

"He was such a girly girl, he was sacred to be alone, he loved my dresses... however he as a girl was scared to use swords…" said Usa.

"What happened?" asked Zoro who was visibly twitching all over.

"Well a pirates crew came and gave him another knock on the head and he went back to being normal. It was lucky too if he didn't go back to being normal we would have left in this island so he could live in peace..." said Usa.

"Mom… did you make this up?" asked Zoro.

"Nope… we swore never to ever tell him… mostly to get it out our minds…" said Usa, "Well its bed time…"

Usa tucked in the boys in, turned off the light and left with the girls.

"Was that story true?" asked Zoro quietly.

"Um… no of course not…" said Usopp.

"Liar…" said Zoro.

"Yeah… it was true…" said Luffy.

"How you would have felt if we you told you then?" asked Chopper.

"How do you think I feel after being told as reincarnated 5 year old?" asked Zoro.

"Um…" replied the others.

The gong rang… meaning that a pirate crew was approaching the island…

Hikaru came in checked the boys, "Boys… don't worry we're be right back…"

20 minutes later Hikaru came in and said "If any of you are awake it was a false alarm boys… there was a new guard, he didn't know the pirates ships that won't set off the alarm… but your grandpa Hikari is coming for a visit tomorrow…" said Hikaru.

"Okay dad…" said Usopp.

"'night boys…" said Hikaru as he closed the door.

Later that night in the master bedroom Hikaru woke up as Usa cried "No! No! No! Stop! Please don't!"

He shook her awake, she had two reoccurring nightmares "Jackson or Planet of the Marshmallows?"

"Jackson… why do I keep getting nightmares about him killing the kids…" said Usa.

"You just do… it's because who they are… they may not know… but you have a special bond…" said Hikaru.

"Yeah… after all the only time you remembered Luffy's name was when after he died…" said Usa.

"Don't worry… things will worked out… to get your mind off it, dad did say he was interesting news tomorrow…" said Hikaru.

"Your right…" said Usa.

The next day Hikari showed up he had a small box with him .

"How's the littler!" he said to the kids.

"Fine Good Grandpa!" said Ko.

"She still hates Gen?" asked Hikari.

Usa gave a nervous laugh, "I don't know why…" said Usa.

"I do… why don't you tykes play in the backyard while talk to the folks in private… you'll be happy that I did…" said Hikari, "Sanji before you go I have something to say to you."

"What is it Grandpa?" asked Sanji.

"If you mother acts angry or bitter towards you in the next few days… please understand why, you little pervert…" said Hikari.

Sanji stared at his new grandfather… he never spoke him or the others like that.

He left to join the other outside.

"Sanji what wrong?" asked Nami.

"Hikari's acting strange…" said Sanji.

"What did he say to you?" asked Chopper.

Sanji told the others what he said.

"I figured it out…" said Ko.

"Figured what out?" asked Luffy.

"Remember about what that other goddess told us, that it was a lesser known power… but there might people who know about and Hikari found out about it…" said Ko.

Something clicked in everyone's mind but Sanji and Luffy's.

"Sanji… weren't' the one who too the longest to breast fed…" said Nami.

"Yes… why?" asked Sanji.

"This… is going… to end badly…" said Usopp.

Inside Hikari was taking out a very old looking book out of a bag he carried.

"What is it dad?" asked Hikaru.

"It about your children… I found a few weeks ago on an bonded ship the last written instruction manual to the Gem of the Moon… it's a few hundreds of years old but it contain all of its powers… including one in particular…" said Hikari.

He pointed to it and Hikaru read.

"If some dies while protecting the holder of this gem, they shall have new chance at life as the child of the holder… they retina their knowledge of all that they gained in their first life…" read Hikaru.

"What does it mean?" asked Usa.

"They remember… they remember their past lives… they just been hiding it from you…" said Hikari.

Usa had mixed emotions… she was a little happy that they remember, she was a little sad they hid this from her… then she remembered something… something very unpleasant.

"Wait... wait! That means Sanji remembers…" said Usa glowing.

"Yeah…" said Hikari.

"No wonder why it took so long to wean him… I need to use the bathroom…" said Usa.

She went in and for the next two hours she let out a long string of curses and threats that was so loud that the whole island could hear.

"I just hope she doesn't do anything to him…" said Hikaru.

It was so loud that Moko, Serena, Ichigo and Trent showed up.

"What happened?" asked Trent.

"Well Usa's brother…" said Hikaru.

He pointed to the thing that mentioned it.

"What does it mean?" asked Serena.

"It means the remember…" said Hikari.

"Why she angry about this?" asked Trent.

"Shin-Chan…" said Ichigo.

Outside with the reincarnated crew.

"I wonder what's that about" asked Luffy.

"She found out that we remember our past lives…" said Robin.

"Why is she yelling?" asked Luffy.

"Sanji…" said everyone else but Sanji himself.

""Wait why do you think its me?" asked Sanji.

"You're a pervert…" said Ko.

"Should we inside…" said Usopp shaking in fear.

"Wait for a bit…" said Ko.

Usa's string of curses stopped and she exited "That felt good…" she said in a false happy way.

"Sis are you aright…" said Trent.

"Yes I'm fine…" lied Usa.

She was glowing a little still… they knew Usa was angry.

"Can someone get the children please I need to talk to them…" said Usa.

Hikaru sighed… he went to back backyard, he sighed… he opened the back door…

"We need to talk now…" said Hikaru.

The way he said it meant only one thing, the reincarnated pirates entered the dinning room. They were surprised to find that Trent, Ichigo, Serena and Moko were there.

"We know… that you remember…" said Usa.

"Remember what?" asked Luffy.

Nami smacked him the head.

"Have you been paying attention?" said Nami.

"They figured out the secret…" said Robin.

Usa sighed, "You could have told me earlier about this…" said Usa.

"We couldn't…" said Ko.

"We had to learn everything all over again…" said Zoro.

"I guess it has to with the power of the Gem of the Moon…" said Hikari.

"Don't worry I'm not mad…" said Usa, "ON THE MOST PART!"

She began to glow brighter than she ever glowed before "SANJI!"

"Oh Crap…" said Sanji.

She lunged towards the love kid, however Trent managed to restrain her.

"I thought she said she wasn't angry…" said Luffy.

"She isn't… about you guys hiding it… she's angry with Sanji for being a pervert…" said Ichigo.

"You purposely prolonged your breast feeding didn't you…" said Ko with a glare.

"Um…" said Sanji.

"Gaaaaah!" yelled Usa managed to elbow Trent in the face then proceed to beat him up.

"No Usa! Stop! Ow! AHHHHHHHHH!" scearemd Trent a she beat him up.

Trent was beaten to bloody pulp. Usa tried to lunge towards Sanji again however Ichigo transformed to her kitten form and pounced on Usa.

"I think it's best if all of you leave while I'll try to calm her down… maybe its best if you take Trent to Dr. Kureha, then you could tell her the news…" said Ichigo.

They left… after Ichigo gave Ko special smile… they all went to the clinic

A few minutes later in the clinic waiting room, Dr. Kureha shook her head as she left an examining room.

"A coconut, a jump rope and a boa constrictor… what is it with that guy…" said Dr. Kureha to herself, who noticed who was in the waiting… particularly the bloody Trent.

"What happened to him?" asked Dr. Kureha.

"It a loooong story…" said Ko.

After telling Dr. Kureha the truth… and a bizarre reunion with Chopper.

"Why didn't you tell me this before!" yelled Dr. Kureha throwing multiple weapons.

"I'm sorry Dr. K! I should have told you!" cried Chopper.

"Um… Dear… what about Trent..." said Moko.

"I'll deal with in a minute…" said Dr. Kureha.

Nami, Usopp, Sanji and Zoro sighed about this, they should have expected that would happen after they found that Dr. Kureha they found Dr. Kureha moved to Konegi Island.

Afterwards she treated Trent… many of injuries healed before she even treated him so he was good as new.

"Man… I haven't seen her, this mad since the wedding…" said Hikaru.

"Why does she always have to beat me up…" mumbled Trent.

"Why what happened?" asked Luffy.

Meanwhile back at the house… Usa had calmed down… mostly…

"That little pervert…" mumbled Usa.

"Usa… you should forgive him… like you did Gen…" said Ichigo.

"You think?" asked Usa.

"It's a very similar situation if you think about Gen came to your wedding… he wanted to be there for you yet you not only turned him away but you attempted to viciously attack him… after you calmed down he explained to that he was going to change himself for him… Nancy… Lily and of course you. You're his oldest daughter sure he attacked you and tried to make his model slave in exchange for a cure to Luffy, Zoro and Sanji's curses but he wanted to be there… especially after loosing Ko and the others… after realizing all this you forgave him…" said Ichigo.

"Yeah but this also different… Sanji is a pervert who exploited the fact he was a baby to see my boobs and touch them…" said Usa.

Ichigo tried to come up with response but she couldn't it took her a few minutes to come up with one "Well things a little different now… you're his mother… even if he does have the mind of 19 year old pervert it doesn't change that." said Ichigo.

Usa sighed she was right, "In the same way… we're both Ko's mothers…" said Usa.

Ichigo nodded, "So will you please forgive him…" said Ichigo.

"I will… that doesn't mean I'm not to passive aggressively punish him for a while…" said Usa.

"Fair enough…" said Ichigo with a small laugh.

"Wow… so that's why Gen lives here." said Nami.

"I still don't like it…" said Ko with a huff.

"Oh yeah… Luffy… I almost forgot… I have a gift for you when you get back home… I would give it to you now but I left it at the house." said Hikari.

"A gift is it meat?" asked Luffy.

Everyone in the room sweatdroped.

"Why couldn't he get the vegetarian gene?" asked Zoro.

"I have no idea…" said Moko.

When it was time to close the clinic they went back home including Dr. Kureha with them.

They got home to find Usa and Ichigo rest on the couch in the living room.

"Yo!" said Ichigo.

"So you're really calm?" asked Sanji.

She glared at him "I'm as calm when I'm going get to for a while…" she coldly to him.

Everyone in the room sweat dropped.

"I think I'm going to get my gift for Luffy…" said Hikari.

He went into the dinning room where he left it the box he had when he came in. Luffy sat the coffee table and placed it front of him.

"Are you going to open it?" asked Hikari.

"Is it some sort of mystery item?" asked Hikaru.

Hikari shook his head, "You'll see"

Luffy opened the box and inside was a fruit… but no any old fruit…

"It's a Gum Gum Fruit…" said Luffy.

"We found it on an abandoned ship with the manual to the Gem of the Moon…" said Hikari, "It's almost as fate placed those two things there… as it's your grandmother who ate it so it okay to eat. However you should really think about it… and I mean really think about it…"

Luffy thought about it should he eat again… he did miss being a rubber man… but he was granted a second chance at life he could use is to be normal… or at least as normal as a rabbit boy would be… in what seem like an eternity he made his decision. "I'm going to eat it…" he said.

Everyone anime fell…

"It's only been three seconds…" said Nami.

"That's Luffy for you…" said Usopp.

Luffy took a bite after choking on the bad taste he was stretched various part of a body.

"I'm a rubber man again..." said Luffy.

"Well technically a rubber rabbit boy…" said Sanji.

"I guess your right…" said Luffy.

Usa smiled, she went over to the cabinet that she kept the mementos… she took out the key and opened it. She took out everything but the picture…

"Now that I know the truth…" said Usa she handed Luffy his precious straw hat, Nami the bracelet Nojiko gave her, Zoro his swords and the hat that doctor Hiruluk gave him.

"I was planning on giving these to when you were older but since you remember your past lives… now's okay…" said Usa.

Luffy gave his trade smile as he put on his treasured hat… that day things changed... for the better… except for Sanji… because over the course of the fallowing two month Usa treated him coldly…

Next Time: See as their progress from 6 to 12... such as Luffy and Chopper training in the Gi style of Martial Arts and Ko and Robin training in the Kone Style of Weapons, Usa and Ko training Nami and Robin in the pervert scenes... learning why its illegal for Usa to teach about sex ed on Konegi Island... watch as Gen's 4th child is born and Trent's first two children... all this and more next time.
