I just wanted to say: Please if you find some mistakes or something that doesn't makes sence, contact me, so I can correct the mistakes. Thanks guys.


Last time:

Luffy lightly chuckled. "Sanji, the mission is for us to follow Shanks, right?" She waited till she got confirmation before continuing. "If we trail them, they'll know by the end of the day and will very highly confront us. No one likes to be tailed, that's why I want from you to speak directly with Shanks and stay with him on the ship until the meeting with Shirohige."


Sanji's POV

The whole room froze, before jaws started hitting the floor. Chopper looked like gaping fish which is weird, after all he is a reindeer. I broke the last bit of trance by saying: "Ho, finally something interesting. It was getting boring here."

"What?! You can mean that, they'll kill you! He's motherfucking Yonko! How can you act so calm?! Luffy just said she wants from you to be on the same ship as one of the most powerful pirates!" Ussop was breaking in hysterics, the same with Chopper. "You can't go, Sanji. You'll die." The little reindeer begged with tears in his eyes.

Robin had serene smile on her face. "I don't believe captain-san would send Sanji there if she thought they would torture him for informations about marines or simply kill him." She chuckled, never losing smiles.

"Scary." Muttered Chopper and Ussop while they hugged each other. "Robin, please stop scaring us. It's disturbing when you say things like these. Especially, if you say it with a smile like that." Pestered Nami-swan.

"My dear Nami-swan, you don't need to worry yourself about me." I exclaimed with heart in my eyes. "I'll be perfectly fine and come back to you and Robin-chwan."


Robin's POV

"As interesting as this is. Why don't we hear the rest Luffy has to say?" I said when it didn't look they would calm down soon enough. The effect was instant, everyone sat on the couch, Sanji lit his cigarette.

"Thanks, Robin. Like I said Sanji will go visit Shanks on his ship and explain about why we were sent to follow them and if we'll be lucky enough, he's going to let him stay with them. Rest will stay on our ship looking after them from afar." Luffy explained to us, but something felt off. "Where are you going to be while we play babysitters?" I asked and narrowed my eyes when Luffy look guiltily on the ground.

"Nothing gets past you, huh, Robin? I'm going to sneak into the Mariejois and find some documents and burn them, so no one will ever know what they said." She said with determination and dared us to try and stop her. That behavior intrigued me about what the documents contain. Sanji looked like he didn't care either way just said: "Don't get killed or shitty swordsman will have my head."

Nami sighed with resignation clothing her face. "You want end your marine career with big bang, so of all place to play pyromaniacs you had to choose Mariejois, can't help it. This is crazy even for you, you know." Nami sighed again and added: "I guess we'll be meeting with others soon."

"Yes! Zoro, Franky, Brook, I can't wait to see them and it will be nice when we see the real Robin not just doppelganger. Robin can you tell them this later?" Luffy asked obviously excited about the idea of us together. "But before that happens. We have work to do. So don't get us caught on the last week." She said with sly smile. "Baka, if anyone gets us caught, it will be you." Sanji couldn't help but smirk at her.

"I'm sorry, but I need to depart. I used my DF powers for too long and am getting tired." I apologized with smile which had Sanji asking if I'm alright. I smiled again and disappeared, but not before saying. "Good night."


Luffy's POV (4 days before depart)

"You're getting better." I said to him, but didn't receive any reply. When I looked at him, he was snoring meanwhile laying on his back, not minding the bruises in the least.

"BWAHAHAHA. You certainly roughed him up. But little bruising is expected when training. Really, you know how to pick your student. This one has potential, wouldn't be surprised if he'd become next Fleet Admiral." Ji-chan said to me while laughing. "He may have potential, but he won't become Fleet Admiral that's Coby's dream." I disagreed with him with frown on my face, but then smiled when remembered the pink-haired boy. He certainly came far from the coward he was.

Ji-chan just laughed harder. "I made my decision. After this week he will be part of my crew. Sengoku already agreed to my request." This startled me. "Isn't your crew going with me after Shanks next week?" I asked with confusion while tilting my head.

"Of course they are and so will Arittaka. This way you can continue his training." Ji-chan's laughter shook the whole room this time. I only cursed my luck and sighed. "I'll take him to his place and tell him the news, so go and cause some mess. It's too boring here." Grandpa said with pout that looks very disturbing on his way and I quickly left before he changed his mind. "Thanks, Ji-chan. See ya' later!"

"And now off to the kitchen I didn't eat anything in forever." I said as my stomach unhappy gurgled.


Time skip

I heard one of the soldiers talking about Hammock and wondered why they would mention her, so I listened to the conversation only to find there's Shichibukai meeting going on and I don't know about it. I needed to hurry if I wanted to see her before she left. I ran the hallways, some of the officers screaming after me to slow down, but I simply ignored them.

Now I was very close to the building where the meeting was held, when I finally saw her. She was with another blue guy. I think his name was Jimbi (written wrong on purpose). I ignored him and jumped on the Pirate Empress. "Hammock! I missed you! It's too long since we saw each other. Why didn't you pay visit to me?" I asked accusatory the last part and added pout.

"Luffy-chan! I'm sorry, but there were some troubles and you know just how much I hate to be in the presence of males." She said to me promptly ignoring all the said 'males' staring at us with hearts in their eyes. Some were having nosebleed and some even turned to stone. "Nee, Hammock? Why are they acting all so funny?" I asked while pointing at them confused at their behavior.

"Oh, Luffy-chan. You're so cute when you act so innocent." Hammock said to me as she played with my cheeks. Seriously, what's with other people always pulling at my cheeks while calling me cute? I don't understand.

"Hammock, don't play with my cheeks." I pouted at Hammock and she blushed and squeaked. "Are you sick or something? Your face is all red. Should I call Chopper?" I asked her, but Hammock declined, saying she's alright.

"Hi, Jimbi. You're Shichibukai as Hammock right?" I asked the fishman. He blinked at me bewildered when I appeared right in front of him. "Yes, I am. Thought, my name's a Jimbei."


Jimbei's POV

When the little girl jumped Hancock, I was surprised, more so when Boa returned the hug. Then I noticed the girl's coat, indicating that she's officer. And then she continued by showing her face centimeters from mine while asking me who I am, this action shocked me mainly because people aren't that friendly with fishmen.

"Yes, I am. Thought, my name's a Jimbei." She looked me in the eyes, her own eyes looked now ancient, complete opposite of the childish ones she displayed. I felt like I was having my sins judged. What kind of person I am. Then she blinked and the moment was gone. "Hammock, Jimbei, come. You must hungry after that boring meeting." And before I could shake of my shock, I was dragged by her together with Hancock, who smiled at the young marine's behavior.


Time skip (really short one)

Not even two minutes could pass before I was seated in plain room I never visited and I was sure this wasn't kitchen. Didn't the girl wanted to eat? However before I could ask, there was blond guy entering the room and kissing Hancock's hand, declaring his undying his love for her. I couldn't her but sweat drop when she shot him look that could kill and send him flying away. "My Hancock-san, you're so pretty when you punish me." He exclaimed and I worried if he's mentally alright.

"You came right on time. I want to introduce you someone. Sanji this is Jimbei, Jimbei this is Sanji, my cook." She said while gestured to us. The blond, now known as Sanji merely grunted "I'm not interested in shitty bastards" and left the room. "Before you ask, he's always like this, so don't take it personally. And he's missing Zoro, even if doesn't say it aloud." She said and grinned at me.

"Not that I don't appreciate this, but why did you drag me off. Most people would just ignore fishman." I asked this odd girl. If I remember correctly Luffy, at least that's what Boa called her. She tilted her head like she didn't understand what I was saying and opened her mouth to say something only to be beaten by Boa.

"It seems she likes you and now she considers you a friend. Luffy is always like this not caring what others may think and act as she wants to. And she honestly doesn't care that you're fishman." Boa said and for some reason the girl seemed to freeze.

"I can't believe I forgot." She yelled and jumped of the seat she was sitting on almost causing it to fall. And then she was before me once again. "I'm sorry for not introducing myself earlier. I'm Vice-admiral Luffy. Pleased to meet you." She said with wide grin and offered me her hand. I was astounded that this girl could be Vice-admiral and looked at Boa, but she didn't seem to be surprised by this.

"It's nice to meet you as well Vice-admiral." I said formally, but she instantly developed frown. "I have name for a reason, you know." And stared at me until I got the hint. "Okay, Luffy then." I was instantly awarded with very wide grin that I found myself returning.

Looking at her, I couldn't help, but think that pops would like her. She would fit on that crew definitely better than here. "Meat, finally! What took you so long Sanji?" Thrown me out of thoughts and I saw the cook bringing tones of food. Will more people be joining us? My question was answered little later, when I saw Luffy clean 20-th plate, this leading me to think about certain freckled commander (and his brother, thought the other isn't as bad). It would be certainly interesting (cooks, please read this as a nightmare) to see those two eat together, both of them are certainly black holes.

"Luffy, you can't just bring people here! Not to even mention he's Shichibukai!" yelled young voice I didn't recognize. "Don't worry about it Ussop, he's friend, besides Hammock is here as well and you don't have problem with her. And this place with all the rooms was assigned to me, so I can bring people here without needing to ask for permission." pouted young Vice-admiral. "…."

"It's Luffy. The only thing that surprised me is there's only two Shichibukai. Knowing Luffy she could bring them all." Said redhead, that just came and I marveled at their behavior towards her.

"True enough. She may be sixteen already, but she acts too much like a child. Especially, when making friends." Said the one named Ussop.

"That's rude. And I'm already 17, you know." Said Luffy annoyed, but this had other people in room blinking at her. "17-teen? When we met, you said you're 16-teen!" They answered in unison.

"Since then I had a birthday. Lask week on May 5th." Luffy mumbled.

"Why didn't you tell us, we didn't celebrate and what about presents, we didn't get you any!" Ussop replied exasperated. "It slipped my mind. Since I started living in Marineford I stopped celebrating my birthday." She said scratching her head.

"In that case, when we get everyone together we'll celebrate and you can't say no." Said the red-haired girl, ending the conversation. And thus Jimbei met Luffy.


I finally mentioned Ace and after this I had an idea of bonus chapter, where I can write about Whitebeards. Yeaahoo.. Can't wait.
