With Luffy and Seeker Luffy (Lucy)…in a forest island
Luffy once again looked at the girl in front of him with an awkward stare, it's been three hours after they had escaped from Lucci (and really he doesn't know if the Pigeon bastard is still alive). "So you're saying that you're me from another world?"
The ebony haired girl kept her legs in an Indian sit and smiled at him, "Yup!" She chirped.
"Weird…"Luffy quirked an eyebrow while thinking how is that possible. "I know right! Even if I've been in this kind of work for years it's still weird to me!" She replied with such a creepy enthusiasm. "But to tell you in details – I'm Luffy but just call me Lucy to be comfortable and as what I've said earlier I am you from another world but I used to be."
"Used to be?"
She nodded, "I am still you technically but not quite since there's no the same person in two forms but since I became a Seeker - you can say that I'm not what I used to be." Then for some reasons both Luffy's got this really confused faces. "Is it me or I didn't get what I've said?"
"Beats me…" Pirate Luffy shrugged.
"Well enough of that!" She said with a raised arm. "What's important right now is that you're safe!" She nodded with herself. "That Lucci always creeps the shit out me every time we crossed paths."
"How come there are two Luffy's anyway?" Did he just ignored her comment, why he?! "And how come Sabo and Ace are alive?" And how come you just asked it just now all the way of the story, you idiot?! Luffy looked at Lucy with a serious face, "Travellers…they said that they are not the real people I know but altered versions of them. How come? It's too confusing actually."
Lucy looked at him with the same level of gaze, "I think it's time for you to not get yourself involve in this problem." Luffy spluttered. "Not get myself involve? As much as I can see it I am more involved than what you assumed I'm not!" He snapped.
"I know and that's the problem here, Luffy – you shouldn't have been involved but those two Insane Travellers are beyond my control…and they came in this world just to get you." Lucy's eyes lowered like it can see a different image in front. "If only I prevented – no…if only I have known they will become Insane Travellers I have killed them beforehand. It's a forbidden rule to us Sentinels, Seekers, Dimensional Representatives and especially the Travellers to not let any inhabitants out of their own worlds. If we let something as a heavy crime like that to happen – any world or inhabitants involved will go in jeopardy if worse comes a world could be destroyed for eternity."
"Destroyed…huh…"
Lucy sighed tiredly, "If you don't want that to happen just let me do my job and I'll take care of those two when they come here." She said then stood up from her position, patting her butt out of dust. "If I let something bad happen to you I don't know how will I face those two…it's been ages since we last seen each other after all."
"Where are you going?" Luffy asked and he too stood from the tree root he's been sitting to. "I'll come with you."
"No."
"What? Why?"
"Because it's dangerous…you witnessed it right…how different their level of strengths is… you've experienced beforehand how powerful they are compared to what you know of your world." Luffy looked like he understood but a D like him-self wouldn't listen to something as trivial as that.
"I don't care." He held his ground leveling his gaze with her heavy ones. "I'm involved and I want to help. I've been useless for three days already and I've had enough! If I don't do anything I can't move forward like this…and I want to settle things with them as well…I want to prove that I'm stronger than who I am two years ago if I can't do that I'll be tarnishing my promise for years. I have a pride to live on!"
Lucy continued to stare then let out another sigh, "I understand then…we should find your friends first before facing them. It's that okay?" She asked that Luffy replied with a toothy grin.

With Straw-hat Pirates and Hearts Pirates in the middle of New World sea
"I know we haven't introduced ourselves properly to you," The old man with monsieur mustache said as he lowered his head a bit to the Straw-hat Pirates, "I am Tanaka – the captain of the 13th Sentinel Squad and as you have noticed me and my subordinates are very different than what you people are in this world." The now named Tanaka introduced.
"Sentinel?" Robin twitched at the said word, "We are very pleased to know you Sir Tanaka but would you kindly tell us what is a Sentinel means?" Tanaka looked at her with such old – way old eyes than what she assumed his age is.
"You can simplify us Police of every Dimensional Worlds. We're the ones arresting Insane and Illegal Travellers in order to prevent wretched Worlds." Tanaka replied as if he did so for many times already, "We are bound to our Oath to the Great Maker and the Memory Council as implementers of law and rules to every Travellers travelling in every dimensional worlds."
"Hey." A rough voice from the ship of Hearts Pirate shouted that made them turned to see Pirate Law leaning against his sleeping polar bear with a frown sketched on his face, "If you really are Polices from some far, far away place – how come you can't arrest those two since as you have said earlier they have destroyed several worlds before so why can't you just arrest them to prevent so." Pirate Law narrowed his eyes, "Or maybe there's something behind this ploy, yes?"
Some of the uniformed Sentinels growled at the Royal Warlord but remained at the sides and waited for their leader to answer him. Tanaka sighed, "Yes…we can just arrest them but you see we are also considered as Travellers and in order to arrest them is to get them in a tangible world to do so. Since travelling through paths are way too difficult - Travellers like them tend to use it to their advantages whenever we crossed paths with them and Insane Travellers are cunning dangerous beings – they're powerful that can level a Seeker if they wishes to."
"Are you saying you're not strong enough to deal with them?" Nami burst her bubble as she realized what Tanaka mean, "How can we even defeat them if your so called Police Squad can't fight them off?" She can't believe it…they're doomed!
"It's not like we can't fight them off we are just careful." A blonde Sentinel lady said. All eyes turned to her in question, "How so?" Zoro asked.
"We only deal with Insane Travellers if we are given orders from the Higher Ups since we usually fend off Marionettes and Illegal Travellers as our main concerns but Insane Travellers are a different story. They are vicious beings beyond control – and they are taken for by the Seekers since they are the only ones who could match them when it comes to fighting but as I have said we are just careful. Sometimes, a fight between a Seeker and a Traveller lead to a ruined world so as much as possible we have to be very careful when doing our job or else we could destroy more than we shouldn't have." She explained. "Always remember that Dimensional Beings are created as extraordinaire – they are powerful enough to cause such mayhem in every world." Everyone nodded in understanding, even if some of them don't really get half of her explanation.
"Then who are these Seekers you're saying?" Chopper asked while popping a fluff of cotton candy in his mouth.
"They are also like us but in a very different sense…" This time Tanaka took the privilege to explain, "Very different…" He frowned at his own words but he continued, "They are only bound to the Great Maker since they are personally called to find those people who are Sought by the Great Maker."
"Sought?" Usopp raised an eyebrow, this dimensional thingy is getting confusing and confusing as they discussed it.
"The 'Sought' is a being chosen to be a Traveller by the Great Maker." This earned a confused look from both sides of the two ships. "For what reasons is not our concerns since only the Great Maker knows of his own intentions as to why he's choosing beings to become Travellers but back to topic; Seekers are also powerful beings created to guide Travellers in their adventures throughout the ordeal of Dimensional travelling – but their job don't end just like that because they are also to help Travellers seek their goals and prevent them from going Insane."
"That's rather difficult to understand actually…" Sanji said while blowing smoke of cancer stick. "It's like there's no real purpose as to why this Great Maker you're calling keeps seeking for Travellers if there's a chance that they will become Insane. Is that kind of playful of him to do that?"
"There's a purpose." A familiar voice joined their conversation.
"Nico-sama!" Tanaka exclaimed as he bowed before the woman in floral yukata. "So it's true that you've joined us to find those two troublemakers."
"Tanaka…it's been years since I last saw you…" Her mischievous smile captivated them, "That last time was when I was still a Seeker myself."
"Yes…it's really been a long time and you never changed since then." Tanaka said then cleared his throat, "Now that you're here…what should we do now that one of the inhabitants of this World is in danger?" He looked at her with hopeful eyes but instead of answering him he turned to the Straw-hat Pirates with unreadable blue eyes.
"A purpose to change…" She started with a nostalgic smile on, "Travellers are our way – the Great Maker's way of changing fate of one's world. It's not just a little thing but in order to make every world rotating we have Travellers as changers of the story – with every little detail they could make can change fate of a world. That is why Travellers are created – and it's a way to make them realize how little their existence compared to what they were before they became Travellers. The Great Maker seeks us to make a difference and we lived as through time and space knowing that very rule." She said with such dignified voice.
In a whole three minutes, the two ships remained quiet as they digested the information they heard from these Dimensional Beings around them. Nami looked like she's getting paler and been sweating bullets; Usopp, Brook, Franky and Chopper looked lost in their own thoughts but Sanji, Zoro and Robin still have their usual passive expression on. Other than Traveller Law and Pirate Law who's still silent, the whole Hearts Pirate remained clueless as to what is really happening.
After the third minute, Usopp turned around only to see an island just ahead of them, "Land Ho!" He shouted that made the others jumped at his voice but they flinched when Traveller Law gasped loudly while Nico laughed playfully and Tanaka grunting about 'irresponsible Seekers'.
"Is there something wrong, Traveller-san?"Robin asked the paling Traveller, "There's a Seeker in that island." Traveller Law said with a knowing look on. "What do you know – speaking of the devil." Sanji sarcastically remarked dragging another fluff of cigarette smoke.
"Ooohh…she's a real Devil alright…" Nico giggled, waiting for the surprise coming in this world. "A real Devil considering what happened to them last time." The Pirates can't even find the strength to get confused and just let the suspense surprise them as the two pirate ships approached the island ahead.

Lucy smiled, looking at the familiar pirate ships docking at the beach of the island then looked back at the sleeping figure on the ground near her feet. The idiot's narcolepsy chose to kick in two minutes ago so as a good friend Lucy kicked the poor body to the nearest tree with a burst of Armament Haki earning a painful yelp from a certain Straw-hatted Pirate.
"What's that for, you moron!" Luffy shouted, getting from the ground. "You're the moron here, idiot. And come here, you might want to see this." She jerked a head to the beach as the occupants of the two ships got down the sea-floating transportation.
"You can wake me the normal way you know!" Luffy whined but still went to see what she's telling about. "It's a normal wakeup call for me." Lucy shrugged and smiled when the large group of uncharacteristic individuals noticed her.
"It was?" Luffy asked dumbly that Lucy replied with cheery 'yes'. "What do you want me to see…Minna!" Luffy shouted happily as he rocketed himself to his crewmates with rubbery arms.
"Luffy!" The Straw-hat Pirate shouted in glee that at long last they have retrieved their 'beloved' idiot captain. "I missed you guys!"
"Wait!" The happily reunited crew stopped celebrating when Pirate Law shouted, "Who are you?" The others looked at the cloaked person at the low cliff not far from their spot at the beach. "Is that Lucci?" Usopp nervously asked as he readied his weapons.
"That's rude, Usopp." A girl's voice replied to him making him squeaked in fright but saw the cloaked person getting her hood off her head, revealing a mass of ebony hair with that oh-so familiar face, "Do I looked like that Pigeon bastard?"
"The hell?"
"Luffy?"
"There's another Luffy!"
"That is SSSSUUUUUPPPPPEEEERRR~!"
"Yohohohoho!"
"AAAAHHHHH!"
"A girl version of captain…how unexpected."
"She's cuuuuutttteee~!"
"How are you, Seeker Luffy?" Two set of old but familiar eyes looked at the pair of bluish gray eyes. "Already decided to finish what you started?" The panic background voice quieted when they sensed a shift of temperature around the girl version of Luffy.
"Don't you dare get in my way…"Her hollow voice echoed around the beach as her face contorted into an insanely mad expression. "Well, that's charming of you…"Nico teased as the Sentinels backed away when they saw a strange violet metal wings hovered above Lucy's back.
"I'll kill you…" The white around her lens darkened while her bluish eyes narrowed in a glowing red.
