Yes, I know my newspaper writing skills suck. Also, who got choked up when the watched Ace try to get back to the elevator when he heard Luffy actually was down there? AGGGGGGGHHHHHH! This is killing me! But I also want to live and watch the whole thing...

Emporio Ivankov...*shudder*


One week after Luffy's capture, his crew arrived at Saobody Archipelago just in time to read the latest newspaper.

"Fire Fist Ace and Straw Hat Luffy Captured!"

3 days ago, the Marine HQ suddenly revealed the appointment of a new Shichibukai. A rookie that popped out of nowhere called Blackbeard. His true name is Marshall D. Teach. When Fleet Admiral Sengoku was questioned on the sudden new Shichibukai, he revealed that Marshall D. Teach had done what seems like a miracle. Two powerful pirates had been captured. The Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Ace, and Captain of the Strawhat Pirates, Straw Hat Luffy! This is Straw Hat Luffy's first appearance after being defeated by Shichibukai Bartholomew Kuma and the Pacifistas. The rest of the Strawhat Pirates remain missing after this defeat. Their location is still unknown. Both pirates have been sentenced to execution at Marineford in one week. Sengoku refused to comment when questioned on the quick sentencing of the two pirates. He did reveal that the two are brothers. The search continues for surviving members of the Strawhat Pirates. Whitebeard has not made any acts of violence to retrieve his subordinate as of yet. The brothers wait in the impenetrable prison Impel Down, until the day of execution.


By now, almost all of the Strawhats had made it back to Saobody. Only Robin had not arrived. No one bothered to speak of what had happened to them wherever they had been sent. All of them sat in Shakky's Bar, silent. Rayleigh muttered angrily under his breath. Zoro stood and began to walk to the door. Nami looked up.

"Oi Zoro, what do you think you're doing?" Zoro kept walking.

"Rescuing my Captain." He left. Sanji followed muttering something about Marimo not being allowed to look cooler than him. Nami and Franky followed with Brook not far behind. Chopper jumped up and ran. Ussop didn't even hestitate. He ran out the door as well. Rayleigh stood up too. Shakky looked at him, not surprised.

"You going too?" she took another drag from her cigarette.

"Yeah, I need to make sure these kids get to the New World. I already coated their ship after all."

Shakky chuckled and handed Rayleigh some food.

"I figured you would go."


Whitebeard trembled in anger as he read the newspaper. Marco watched face impassive.

"Have we found the Strawhats yet?"

"Yeah, we've already sent some men to bring them here Pops." Whitebeard nodded and looked at the paper again. The only picture was of Luffy and Ace being led into the gates of Impel Down. Their backs were to the camera. All you could see was Luffy's hat hanging down on his back, and Ace's tattoo. Edward Newgate crumpled the paper into a ball, growling.

"No one messes with my son and his loved ones!"


"Captain!" A man ran to where his captain sat, drinking. Again.

"What? I've got a hangover!"

The man handed the newspaper to his leader. The captain glanced at the paper, then quickly began to read more seriously. He slowly put down his bottle of sake, eyes shadowed.

"Men! We're leaving! We have to get to Marine HQ in a week!"

The captains firstmate raised his eye brows. Another man dropped his leg of meat in surprise. Yet another glanced curiously at the Captain as he polished a pistol. The Captain handed the paper to the first mate. He read it and pulled his cigarette out of his mouth. The paper was passed around. Most of the crew knew Luffy. Those who didn't had heard the story. The captain's missing arm was usually the question that started the telling of that tale. They quickly began to pack.

Red Haired Shanks glared furiously in the direction of Marine HQ. Somebody was gonna pay.


Pure and simple, Boa Hancock fainted, then quickly agreed to go to the execution as long as she was allowed to visit the men who were to die in Impel Down. She was denied. To the Marines surprise, she went anyway.


Monkey D. Dragon knew before the paper had even been published. He turned to Nico Robin…and one of his most trusted subordinates.*

"I think it's time to inform Ivankov that it* is needed." Nico Robin smiled gratefully and left. Dragon turned to the other person.

"Are you ready?" he asked. The 20 year old pulled on his top hat, and grinned revealing a missing front tooth. He gripped the staff that was his trademark weapon.

"I think it's finally time for a reunion."


Vivi knew she could not involve herself without endangering her country. Luffy wouldn't want her to waste his hard work.

Wiper was all for joining the fight until someone pointed out that they were still recovering from the fight almost half a year before.

Most of Luffy's friends knew not to get involved.


Kyaaaaa! So I havent finished yet. I'm on 447 I think. Any way I Had to write something. I know it's kinda crappy (and short)but what ever.

Is there any one you would like to join the fight? I couldn't think of anyone else but maybe you remember.

*Guess WHO!

* I cant refer to Ivankov as a he or a she so...

Just watched Luffy punch BlackBeard.

Anyone else read this fanfiction called "Saved"? SOOOOOO funny. it is another "what if" but just a oneshot.

Please tell me what you want to see!

See Ya!
