Ace and Luffy were intently starring at their fishing lures, hoping something would bite at any time. Both were hoping for something huge. Ace caught a fish that was no bigger than a minnow, then Luffy caught a medium sized fish. Ace caught what looked like a tuna fish, while Luffy caught a shark. The two were basically having a fishing contest, so the father-son pair was hoping to catch a Sea King before the other.

However, something in the sky caught Luffy's eye. "Hm? Isn't that...?" Luffy held out his arm, and allowed a news coo to land. However, it wasn't a government news coo. "This is one of Alvida's."

"Mamma Alvida?!" Ace excitedly jumped towards his father, his rod falling onto the deck of the ship. "What does it say?! What does it say?!"

Alvida is one of the step mothers Ace sees the least, but he always has fun with her whenever they are around. She seems to enjoy spoiling him as much as she spoils her own son. Nami thinks it's because Ace looks so much like Luffy, while Robin thinks it's because of how strong Ace is at such a young age. Whatever the reason, Alvida spoils the boy as much as she spoils Alphonse.

Alphonse is also entertaining to Ace. The two always fight, and Ace always wins. Ace thinks it's all in good fun. One of Ace's favorite pictures is of him standing over a downed Alphonse, flexing, with the Monkey D. smile on his slightly bruised face. Alphonse was on the ground, a giant swelling on his head, with his eyes swirling.

Luffy took the letter from the coo, which flew away after accomplishing it's objective. He opened the letter and read it. "Oh. It's actually from Alphonse."

"From Al?"

"Yeah. He wants to show me something. He's also inviting you."

"Really?! Are we going, dad?!"

"Of course," Luffy said with a smile. "You guys wanna come?"

"No, we're good," pretty much every Straw Hat said in unison.

"Really? But it's a lot of fun over at Buggy's place."

"Maybe for you," they all thought.

Nami and Robin couldn't really handle Alvida. All they seem to do is argue with the woman. You know it's bad when you annoy even Robin. She was also a pain for Zoro, though, he wasn't exactly a big fan of Buggy and his group either. They're pretty good drinking buddies, but they're mostly a bunch of morons most of the time in his mind. Chopper is always treated like nothing more than a pet by Alvida. She would always pet him, even when he was in his heavy point. Her pets felt wonderful, but they always wounded his pride. Like Nami and Robin, she's never impressed by Franky's robotic inventions. Actually, she once smashed one of his miniature robots right in front of him, calling them ugly and a waste of space. Franky had never felt so crushed before that moment. Usopp was just plain afraid of her. Brook was even more afraid. The first time he ever asked if he could see her panties, she tried to grind his bones into dust with her mace. It was also the last time he ever asked.

The kids weren't all that crazy about her either. Ace was probably the only one who really liked her. Well, Saul was also on very good terms with her. Alvida thought he was a true gentleman. Sonia, on the other hand, wasn't very lady-like in her eyes. Sonia did take after her father as much as Ace did. Not that it mattered for those two siblings, considering they weren't on the ship. They used the Mini Merry to go on a supply run. They should return the next day.

Belle-mere never got along with Alvida. She argued with the older woman as much as her mother did. Must be because she looks exactly like her mom. Acts like her, too.

Haysopp was terrified of her. You tend to be afraid of a woman who can literally squish you like a bug with one hand holding a giant mace. Joey had a bad experience with her when she tried to take off his mask the first time they ever met. He only takes off his mask when he's truly comfortable around people, like with his dad or the other Straw Hats. Muramasa... just didn't care about her. Had no interest to go. Simple as that.

"Hm, okay. Huh? Wait a minute. Where's Sanji? I didn't hear him at all."

"Oh, well, Sanji's a bit... tied up in the kitchen," Nami answered.

And he was literally tied up.

The moment Luffy said Alvida's name was the moment Nami punched Sanji. She knew he would cause some kind of crazy trouble. The fact that his eyes turned to hearts when Luffy said Alvida was proof. He almost regained consciousness when Ace happily screamed her name, so Nami had to punch him again. Sanji would have caused WAY too much trouble if Luffy brought him along to see Alvida, and Nami didn't want that headache. He was currently in the kitchen, two large swellings on his head... tied up and gagged with chains. Joey actually made the chains himself, so not even someone with beyond superhuman strength like Sanji could get out.

"Well, that's too bad. I guess it's just you and me, Ace." Ace gave his father the Monkey D. smile. "Hey, Robin, is it alright if we borrow Banchi?"

"Of course," Robin said with a smile. "You'd get lost at sea without him anyway."

Luffy smiled. "Thanks!" He looked over the rails, and whistled. Banchi came out from the water. "Hey, Banchi, I need you to take me and Ace over to Alvida's. Or, would it make more sense to say Buggy's? Anyway, can you take us?" Banchi nodded.

"You do know where to go, right," Belle-mere asked. When her dad and brother gave her confused looks, she sighed and walked over towards Banchi, taking a map out from her dress. "Okay, Banchi, here's what you do." It took her only a minute to explain. "Got it?" Banchi nodded. He purred when Belle-mere lovingly rubbed his nose. "Good turtle. Take care of those two, alright?" Banchi nodded.

Luffy and Ace jumped into Banchi's carriage, and waved goodbye to the crew.

The two slept throughout the entire journey. The food they conveniently found behind Banchi's seats (insert a winking Robin) had been completely devoured, so they just slept. They were awakened by Banchi nuzzling them. Ace woke up quicker than his dad, and looked around.

"Well, look who's finally here."

Ace looked towards the voice. What he saw caused him to smile, and jump off Banchi excitedly. "Mama Alvida!"

Alvida easily caught the boy with a laugh, happily hugging him. Ace was in a position that made Sanji grab his aching body out of pure jealousy. Ace was rubbing his face against Alvida's breasts. He was in a pervert's paradise, but he didn't care. He didn't even realize what he was doing would earn a punch on the head from Nami or Belle-mere. All he knew was that he was happily hugging his stepmother. "I've missed you!"

Alvida giggled as she lovingly rubbed Ace's head. "I've missed you, too."

"Hey, Alvida." She looked up to see Luffy jumping off of Banchi. "Long time, no see."

Alvida smiled, a sharp look in her eye. "Is that it?"

"Hm?"

Alvida, with Ace still in her arms, walked over to Luffy. She then grabbed him by the vest. "Come here, handsome."

Alvida then stole a kiss from Luffy, and he was enjoying it. The two were pretty much wrestling over control with their tongues. After a passionate kissing session, the two separated for air, both looking like they enjoyed themselves. They were about to continue, until Alvida felt a tapping. She looked down to see that her breasts, which were pressed against Luffy, were covering Ace's head. She realized that she was suffocating the poor boy.

She quickly backed away from Luffy, allowing Ace to get his head out of his stepmother's breasts. He took a really deep breath, finally getting air in his lungs, before coughing a fit. "I-I can breath again! Phew." He fell back on Alvida's breasts, feeling tired.

Alvida giggled. "Sorry, Ace." She looked up at Luffy, a sneaky look in her eye. "Let's continue this later."

Luffy smiled. "Deal."

"Hey, Mama Alvida?" Alvida looked down at the boy in her arms. She couldn't help but smile. He looked so adorable to her. He was definitely her favorite next to her own son. Saul was number three for her. "What did Al want to show us?"

Alvida giggled, and looked at Ace with a raised eyebrow. "I'm not going to spoil the surprise."

"It's a surprise," Ace asked with an excited look in his eyes.

"Come. Let's go see."

With Ace still in Alvida's arms, she led Luffy into Buggy's tent.

"Hah! This place is as lively as ever," Luffy said with a smile.

Buggy's Mercenary Company was still a profitable business. Even though most of the ocean is at peace thanks to Luffy, his children, and his allies, the need for mercenaries is still necessary in parts of the ocean where not even Luffy's influence has reached. Because of their impressive revenue, they were still able to party. They could do as many circus tricks as they wanted, eat as much as they want, and drown in booze. It was a party practically everyday.

"Geh, Straw Hat?!"

Luffy looked up. "Ah! Buggy!" Luffy jumped up to the highest ledge, where Buggy was, wearing his cloak. Luffy waved with his famous smile. "It's been too long."

"Not long enough," Buggy grumbled. He oddly enough hasn't aged that much. His blue hair had a few white strips, and he had a few more wrinkles, but that was it. He hasn't changed that much at all. Even his nose was still as big, red and shiny as ever. "WHO'S NOSE IS BIG, RED AND SHINY?!"

"Hm? What are you talking about, Buggy?"

"N-Nothing. What are you doing here?"

"Oh, Al invited me. Said he wanted to show me something."

The next thing Luffy knew, Buggy grabbed his vest, and went up to his face, eyes shadowed. "You're not here to take him, are you?"

"Um, I don't think so."

"WELL DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! THAT KID IS A LITTLE GENIUS! HE'S ONE OF THE MANY REASONS MY BUSINESS IS AS SUCCESSFUL AS IT IS! HE'S SO GREAT, THAT I'M ABLE TO COMPLETELY IGNORE THAT FACT THAT HE'S YOUR BRAT! THAT'S HIS ONLY FLAW! I'D FIGHT YOU TO KEEP THAT LITTLE GOLDMINE!"

Luffy laughed. "So Al is that awesome, huh? Good for him, the little bugger. So, where is he?"

"He's in another tent." Luffy and Buggy looked down to see Alvida. "Come on. Follow me." Luffy jumped down, and began to follow his wife.

"Hey, Mamma Alvida?"

"Hm?"

"How long do you plan on carrying me?"

Alvida smiled, and rubbed her cheek against Ace's. "As long as I want to."

Luffy didn't know why, but he felt a bit annoyed when he saw that. He didn't realize that he was getting jealous of his own son, and how much attention he was getting from one of his wives. To fix that, Luffy walked up, and lifted Alvida bridal style, which surprised the beauty.

"Oh, my. This was unexpected."

Luffy smiled at Alvida. "Just felt like doing it."

Alvida giggled, and pointed in a direction. "Head straight there." Luffy began to walk.

"C-Can I get down now. Being carried by both dad and Mamma Alvida is kinda embarrassing."

"Sorry, Ace. I was enjoying this situation too much," Alvida answered. She then released her hold on Ace, allowing him to land on his feet. He then ran ahead.

It didn't take him long to reach the tent his stepmother was pointing at, and entered. There, he saw some people who were obviously mercenaries training. Watching them was a boy slightly shorter than Ace, carrying a mace twice his size on his shoulder. Ace smiled in happiness and excitement when he saw the boy. "AL!"

The boy grew a tick mark, and looked towards the voice with an angry look. "It's Alpho- Oh, Ace." He calmed down immediately when he saw his older brother running towards him with the Monkey D. smile.

He stopped before his younger brother, hands behind his head. "It's been a while. Looks like you finally got a mace."

"What, this thing?" Alphonse twirled the mace in his hand as easily as a baton. "It's nowhere near as amazing as mother's. I'm actually hoping to get a better and stronger one in the future. I just need to find the right material."

"Materi... Huh? Anyway, maybe you should ask Saul. He can make steel out of nothing now."

"He can what?"

"Maybe you can ask him to make a mace for you. A mace made of pure steel. Sounds pretty cool! You could be Steel Mace Al!"

Al took a moment to think. "Steel Mace Alphonse. . . Hm, that does have a nice ring."

"Yo, Al!"

Al looked up. "Father. . . . Um, you look like you're enjoying yourself, mother."

Alvida smiled, wrapped her arms around Luffy's neck, and raised one of her legs. "Of course. I'm being carried by my handsome husband. A Pirate Queen should be able to enjoy moments like these."

Luffy did his laugh. "So, Al, I heard you wanted to show me something."

"Ah. Well, I've been reading about all the amazing actions of my older siblings. Adonis defeating the Navy to save Sonia. He and Artemis defeating the strongest military formation. Saul permanently crippling a Celestial Dragon. All of them have done amazing works to not only be recognized as top tier pirates, but true children of the Pirate King. I don't wanna be left in the dust. So, I've decided to make a name for myself, and start my mercenary career!"

"Oh, you're gonna be a mercenary? That sounds pretty cool," Luffy replayed.

"And to start, I have decided to create the group that will one day be known as the most powerful S-Class Mercenary Squad in the entire Buggy's Delivery Organization! We'll be so powerful, that not even the former S-Class mercenary Hajrudin and his crew of giants will be able to compare to us!"

"I wonder how Uncle Hajrudin is doing these days," Ace said offhandedly.

Al was already used to Ace's random comments. "Let me introduce you to my team. Attention!"

The group appeared before their young leader, all standing in attention. "Sir!"

"Wow. They're really loyal," Luffy stated.

"It was because I proved worthy. Of course, a bunch of adults wouldn't want to take orders from a child," Al began to twirl his mace. "So I had to show them I was worth following by beating the hell out of all of them."

Luffy laughed at that, placed Alvida back on her feet, and lovingly ruffled Al's hair; proud of his son. "Way to go!"

Al blushed a bit, embarrassed that his father was doing this in front of his subordinates. However, he didn't want to slap his father's hand away. It felt really good to experience this kind of kinship with the father he doesn't get to see that often.

Al cleared his throat after his father finished praising him. "Anyway, let me introduce you to my squad. Herc!"

"Sir!" A shirtless man twice Luffy's size walked up. He was practically made of muscle. His arms looked like they had enough muscle to crush a rock into dust by just flexing. He had short but messy dark hair, and impressive goatee, and a lot of chest and arm hair. He was a ruggedly handsome man who looked to be in his late thirties at least, with tanned skin, and powerful looking eyes. He was a manly man.

"This is Herc. Undoubtedly, he is the strongest man in all of Buggy's Delivery. He was proven to be as strong as a giant, after he defeated one in an arm wrestling match. I should know, since I made him do it. He is the muscle of the squad." Herc flexed his arms, showing off his incredible muscles. "Back in formation."

"Sir!" Herc obeyed the order.

"Herm!"

"Sir!" A slim man warped before the family as quickly as Luffy's Second Gear. He was about the same height as Luffy. He wasn't rugged like Herc. He had a sort of clean handsomeness to him. He had combed back blonde hair, and no facial or body hair to speak of. He did have some muscle on him, but his legs seemed to have most of his body's strength. He looked pretty humble and modest compared to Herc.

"This is Herm, nicknamed The Speed Merc. Fastest man in the entire organization. Prove it, Herm."

Herm smiled. "Gladly." Herm disappeared and returned in the blink of an eye, holding three large pieces of meat, and an apple. "Here ya go."

"MEAT," yelled Luffy and Ace as they took the food. Al also took a piece of meat, while Alvida took the apple.

"Herm is also fast enough to outmaneuver the Government's Shave technique. The proof was when he defeated a Vice Admiral known as Celeri the Swift, who prides himself in his expertise in Shave."

"He did that? Smoker thought I did it, or someone from our family," Luffy stated.

"Well, Herm has a bad habit of punching his opponents into a coma."

Herm rubbed the back of his head nervously. "I'm too fast."

"Back in formation."

"Sir!" Herm was there in less than a blink of an eye.

"Diana!"

"Sir!" A beautiful woman with tanned skin walked up. She was about Alvida's height. Her hair was as long as Alvida's, and just as wavy. Her bust was slightly smaller than Alvida's, and she also seemed to have a bit more muscle than the beautiful Pirate Queen. Her waist was about the same as Alvida's as well. Yet, despite all the similarities, Alvida was still more beautiful than her.

"This is Diana, the sharpshooter. She never misses. Ace, throw your bone as far as you can."

"Hm? Sure." Ace then turned and threw the bone with all his might. It flew like a bullet, and was out of sight in a matter of seconds. The Monkey D. family was still able to see it, thanks to their superhuman level eyesight. As Luffy and Ace shielded their eyes from the sun in order to see it, they saw something else. They saw an arrow shatter the bone, which was miles away. Eyes wide, they looked behind them to see Diana holding a bow, the string still vibrating.

The beautiful woman looked at Ace with a smile. "That was an impressive throw."

Ace smiled. "Thanks. You're really good with a bow and arrow. Maybe as good as Mama Marguerite or Big Sis Dahlia!"

Both women sneezed. "Is Ace bragging about me again," the two women asked. They always seem to somehow know when Ace is talking about them.

Diana giggled. "Thank you for the compliment. If I remember correctly, Marguerite is the name of one of the Amazon Pirate Queens, and Dahlia is not only an Amazon Pirate Princess, but a member of Pirate Prince Adonis's Rapture Pirate crew. Being compared to an Amazon is quite the feat." Ace gave the Monkey D. smile.

"Diana, back in formation."

Diana bowed politely, smiling a genuine smile. "Yes, sir." She went back.

"These three make up what will one day be known as the most powerful S-class mercenary group of Buggy's Delivery. They are the best of the best. The Pantheon."

Ace tilted his head. "Is that what your group name is?"

"Hm? Hm... actually, it does sound like a pretty decent name."

"Yeah. It sounds pretty cool." Ace looked at the three mercenaries. "Hey, Al?"

"Hm?"

Ace appeared right before Alphonse's face, surprising him. "Can I fight them," Ace said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Eh? Uh, sure. Which one?"

"All three! At the same time!"

Al sighed. "Why did I even ask?"

"Sir?" Al looked back at Herc. "Are you sure? He's just a child."

"He's also my older brother." That piece of info caused all the mercenaries to shudder.

"He's your brother," Herm asked with a bit of sweat running down his face.

"That explains his strong resemblance to the Pirate King," Diana stated.

"Hm, so we're being asked to fight not only the leader's older brother, but a Pirate Prince," Herc said with his arms crossed.

"This will be a challenge," all three squad members said in unison.

They all got into position in the middle of the large training tent. Ace ran over to a spot, a gave the Monkey D. smile, with his arms behind his head, looking completely defenseless.

"BEGIN!"

As soon as Alphonse gave the command, Herm attacked. Everything might as well be moving in slow motion as he ran. In just a few seconds, he was at Ace's side, preparing to kick the young boy in the head. Time was moving even slower as he leg inched towards Ace's head. It looked like he was about to land the hit, until Ace seemed to have vanished.

Herm was shocked, not knowing where the boy went. Then, he felt a presence. He looked to see Ace in the air, still smiling. Then, Ace stomped Herm right in the face. The kick was so powerful, it sent Herm skipping across the field, only being stopped by the tent itself.

Herc attacked next. Ace jumped out of the way in time to dodge his punch. Herc instead struck the ground, destroying it. Giant pieces of destroyed earth rose from the ground. Ace ran up these columns, laughing in excitement. When he reached the top, Herc grabbed it with one hand, and swung it to the ground. The impact created a giant quake, making an explosion of noise. Nothing could be seen in the cloud of dust.

"Did I get him," Herc said, not looking tired in the least.

"Nope." Herc's eyes widened in shock, and looked behind him to see a smiling Ace. "You're seriously strong, Old Guy." Ace then coated his fist with haki, jumped towards Herc, and punched him in the gut. The impact sent Herc flying into the tent. The tent must have been made of some incredibly strong material, since not even that made it rip, and it still kept it's form. "But my dad is the strongest in the world. He's been teaching me all kinds of cool stuff for as long as I can remember! I'm tough enough to make even my older brothers break a sweat!"

"Hm, that's no small feat," Alvida said. "Adonis and Saul are known as two of the most dangerous and powerful rookies in the world. To be able to tax them is quite difficult. It seems your little Ace is going to grow into a powerful man, Luffy."

The Pirate King smiled at the comment of one of his Queens. "Isn't he?"

As Ace stood there smiling, his reflexes kicked in. He looked to see that he was now holding an arrow.

"I doubt your father taught you to do that."

Ace looked at Diana, his smile never going away. "Nope. Mama Marguerite taught me. It was really hard to learn, but also really fun. Weirdly enough, Big Bro Adonis and dad are the only other people in our family who can catch arrows. I think it's because Saul can just turn into steel, Sonia is seriously fast, Uncle Zoro and cousin Muramasa can cut it, Uncle Sanji is incredibly fast, Uncle Usopp and cousin Haysopp would be able to shoot it down, it would bounce off of Uncle Franky's SUPER abs, cousin Joey would block it with his wrench, mom would use her Tempo moves, Mama Robin would turn to flowers, and it would just go through Uncle Brook."

Diana giggled. "So arrows are basically useless against your family, huh?"

"Pretty much," Ace answered with a smile.

Diana also smiled. She raised her hand, looking like she was about to grab another arrow. However, she instead held her hand up in surrender, and dropped her bow to do the same with the other. "I surrender."

"Hm?"

"You're too skilled. You're most certainly a Pirate Prince."

Ace smiled and started to laugh and dance. "Yay! I win!" As he was jumping around in joy, he sensed something. He imbued his arm with haki to block a strike from above. He looked to see a jet-black... mace. He smiled in excitement. "You're fighting too, Al?"

"Of course. You said you wanted to fight my team. Might as well fight me last, right?"

Ace smiled, pushed the mace away, and jumped away from his little brother. He got into a fighting stance, looking excited. "Bring it."

Alphonse got into his own stance, looking a bit excited himself. "With pleasure."

As soon as he said that, the brother's clashed, fist colliding with mace. It caused a powerful gust of wind that shook the entire tent, and even blew off Alvida's hat. She easily caught it, greatly impressed by the strength of her sons.

The brothers fought evenly. Alphonse was able to swing the massive mace as if it was weightless, and Ace's fists didn't receive so much as a scratch from parrying the weapon's strikes. Their collisions alone was causing an incredible amount of destruction. It was a grand show of their monstrous strength.

Their speed was also incredible. They were practically blurs. Alphonse was swinging his mace so fast that he left afterimages. Ace was punching fast enough to make it look like he actually grew more arms. It was obvious they were both sons of Luffy.

What's more, throughout the entire fight, the two boys haven't stopped smiling once. They were having the time of their lives.

The two then appeared in the middle of the tent, both preparing a huge attack. Ace was throwing a punch with all of his might, while Alphonse swung his mace with all of his strength. The air around them seemed to crack, as their attacks came closer. However, both of the boys were stopped.

"That's enough," their parents said, their hands one the boys' shoulders, proud smiles on their faces.

The boys were amazed. They didn't sense their parents at all, and they both easily stopped their attacks like they were nothing.

Both boys were taken out of their thoughts when they felt their father bring them together, ruffling their hair with his signature smile. "You two were awesome! It seems I'm always being reminded of how awesome my kids are. I don't think I'll ever stop being proud of being a dad."

"Indeed. You two were both spectacular. You bring honor not only to the Monkey D. Family, but to your titles as Pirate Princes. I'm proud of the both of you," Alvida said with a gorgeous, motherly smile.

Ace placed his hands behind his head, smiling; while Alphonse looked away while blushing.

Then, Ace's stomach growled. "Hey, can we get some food?"

"How can you think about food after getting praised by our," Alphonse was interrupted by his own stomach. "Parents," he said with shadowed eyes and a deep blush.

Luffy's stomach also growled. "I'm hungry, too. Hey, Alvida, were can we eat?"

Alvida giggled. "Follow me."

A walk later.

"STRAW HAT?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY PRIVATE FLOOR?!"

"Alvida brought me."

"HAH?!"

"So, Buggy, got any meat?"

"YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT BELOW!"

"I just wanted my husband to spend more time with me. There's less people up here, and more tasty meat for my man to enjoy."

"BUT THIS IS MY AREA!"

"SO GOOD!" Buggy looked to see Ace already eating some of the meat with Alphonse. "THIS MEAT IS SERIOUSLY YUMMY!"

"Mhm! Uncle Buggy always gets the best meat and drinks for us. The food on the lower level is good too, but for some reason it's no where near as tasty of the food my mom and Uncle Buggy get to enjoy."

"Lucky. Hey, Lion, catch." Ace threw a chunk of meat at Richie, who gladly ate the meat. Ace laughed. "This fat lion is funny. I like him. Hey, fat bear, catch!" Ace threw a piece of meat at Mohji, but the meat ended up getting slapped onto his face. "Hm. The bear isn't as good a catcher as the lion."

"I'M A MAN," Mohji angrily yelled as he ripped off the meat from his face. Cabaji chuckled at the scene, while Galdino just sipped some tea. Buggy's eyebrow twitched at the scene.

"Hey, Buggy!" He looked to see that Luffy was already sitting down, one arm around Alvida's shoulder, with the other holding up a piece of meat. "Come on! Join us for dinner!"

"STOP GETTING SO DAMNED COMFORTABLE! THIS IS MY HOME!"

It pretty much continued like this. It was just another party at Buggy's Delivery. During the infectiously entertaining atmosphere, Luffy accidentally started a meat eating contest with some of Buggy's men. Ace and Alphonse joined in as well. Many of the mercenaries were surprised to see that the little genius mercenary could pack away so much food. Usually, when they see him, he eats as elegantly as his mother. Now, they're watching him eat like his legendary father. Many actually tried to out eat at least one of the Pirate Royal Family, but none could succeed. In the end, it was a three-way tie among the father and his two sons. Many of the mercenaries were wondering how the two boys didn't have bloated, swollen bellies like their father.

After a fun day, Luffy decided to spend the night at Buggy's place. He called the ship to let them know his decision, and assured he and Ace would be back by the next morning.

Ace and Alphonse didn't got to bed immediately. They played a few "games". Arm-wrestling. Thumb-wrestling. A starring contest. They tested their mettle against each other, and ended it with a quick spar. They actually ended up knocking each other out with a simultaneous punch to the face.

Luffy and Alvida also stayed up late. Longer than the boys, in fact. They were having some "nighttime fun". Since they were in a tent, Alvida was easily heard throughout the whole camp. Most of the men weren't complaining.

Thanks to Alvida's sexy moans and screams, the men were either having wet dreams of Alvida, or blasting off. Many men were obviously jealous of the Pirate King. They would have given an arm, a leg, and even a nut to switch places with him.

The only one who wasn't enjoying the sound at all was Buggy. He was lying on his bed, eyes totally wide open and completely bloodshot. He just wanted to go to sleep already, but Alvida's "night singing" was making it impossible. Not even earplugs worked. The worst part was that the more he heard Alvida's pleasured voice, the more he could actually visualize Luffy pleasing her. Imaging Luffy naked was the absolute LAST thing he ever wanted to do, especially when it involved doing the deed with Alvida.

The next morning, a mercenary thought he could try his luck and at least get a peek of Alvida in the nude. As soon as he so much as poked the tent cover, he was blown away by a crap ton of steam. It was laced with the scent of passion, lust, sweat, and a hell of a lot of sex. The tent was practically a sauna, with steam everywhere. Anything made of glass or metal, from one of Alvida's many mirrors to her beloved iron mace was coated in steam. Then, the beauty herself walked out.

She was literally glowing, looking even more radiant than she usually does. She was wearing only a robe, her legs easily exposed. She looked beyond satisfied, like she had the best sleep of her life. She looked younger, more radiant, and more womanly than she usually does. So basically she looked like any of Luffy's other wives after they had some bedtime fun with him.

Luffy just walked out, looking pretty much the same. All he did was stretch and follow Alvida, thinking she was gonna get some breakfast. He didn't notice how the men either fell unconscious or literally fell on their knees to bow before Alvida as she walked by.

At least Luffy was somewhat right about Alvida heading somewhere to get breakfast.

They went to Buggy's floor, where the jester was. His eyes were still bloodshot, with huge bags under his eyes. While the top members of his crew, plus Ace and Alphonse, were enjoying their breakfast, he noticed Alvida and Luffy show up. Before anything could be said, Luffy warped towards the table, and began to eat. Buggy sighed while Alvida giggled.

After breakfast, and after Alvida got dressed, it was time for Luffy and Ace to leave.

Luffy lovingly ruffled Alphonse's hair. "It was great seeing ya again, son. You've grown stronger since last I saw ya."

Alphonse was blushing, embarrassed that his dad was treating him like this in front of his group. However, he just couldn't push his father's hand away. "It was great seeing you again too, dad."

Luffy smiled before he stood back up. He then looked at Alvida.

The woman gave a sassy smile as she walked up to him. "You're not leaving without giving me a goodbye kiss."

Luffy gave his signature laugh. "I thought as much." Luffy then wrapped an arm around Alvida's waist, brought her closer to him, and began to kiss her as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Buggy's jaw dropped, Herc looked impressed, Herm's eyes became saucers, Diana covered her mouth in surprise, Alphonse looked away in embarrassment, and Ace just tilted his head in confusion.

When they parted, a line of saliva was seen connecting the two, before it disappeared. Alvida walked away, a lite blush on her cheeks, a seductive look in her eyes, and sexually licked her lips. "Thank you for the meal." Luffy smiled, a sharp look in his eyes.

Alphonse was still looking away, blushing. "Al!" Alphonse looked up, only to be surprised when Ace hugged him. "It was great seeing you again! Hope we can meet again sometime soon. Hopefully with the rest of the family."

"Y-Yeah. That would be nice."

Ace parted with his brother, giving the Monkey D. smile. "Well, bye."

"Bye. Ah! Don't forget to ask Saul if he can make me that steel mace!"

"Oh, I won't!" Ace was about to run to Banchi.

"Wait, right there." He stopped and looked behind him to see Alvida walk up to him. She knelt down, and outstretched her arms. "No goodbye hug for Mamma Alvida?"

"Oh! I forgot!" Ace then happily hugged Alvida, who laughed happily when she received the energetic hug. "It was great seeing you too, Mama Alvida! I wanna see you again soon, too!"

Alvida giggled. "I would like that, too." She then parted from Ace, lightly grabbed his chin, lifted the head of the confused boy, and kissed him on the forehead.

The boy's eyes widened. When Alvida stepped back, he looked up at her with a confused look, and rubbed his forehead. "What was that?"

"What? You didn't like it," Alvida asked with a smile.

Ace looked down, and blushed. "That's not it. I just don't know what it was. . . . It... felt nice." Alvida giggled at that. Ace then shook his head, and ran to Banchi.

That caused Alvida to giggle once more. "He can be so cute, just like his father and younger brother."

"Hey! I'm not cute," Alphonse yelled with a blush.

"So you say, sweetie."

Luffy laughed. "Well, we better get going. Later, Buggy! Don't be a stranger! It was great to be here!"

Buggy hung his head, and waved lazily. "Yeah, sure. It was a pleasure." That's what came out of his mouth anyway. What he was thinking was, "Please, don't come back."

With that, Luffy jumped onto Banchi, signaling the turtle to swim back to the Thousand Sunny, which the turtle was always able to instinctively find.

Alphonse watched as his father and older brother disappeared into the horizon. When they were completely out of sight, he turned towards his squad. "Alright, lets get to training." The group looked at their leader. "Ace has shown us that we still need to get stronger. There will be some seriously powerful fighters in our future. If we can't beat Ace, who is still greatly outclassed by our older brothers, we will have an extremely difficult future ahead of us. We need to grow even stronger. Strong enough to challenge even Saul, Adonis, and maybe even my father himself. We start training immediately!"

The squad saluted. "Sir, yes, sir!" With a nod, Alphonse walked towards his training tent, followed by his squad. Alvida and Buggy watched them as they left.

"That kind and his squad will make me a hell of a lot of money."

"Of course. He's my son after all."

"That boy is a little genius. Already making plans to take on three of some of the most powerful pirates on the seas, and they're all his family! Kid makes me proud. I really would fight Straw Hat to keep him here."

Alvida laughed at that. "For you to say that shows just how great my son is. He's brilliant, strong, and of course, good looking. He's my pride and joy."

"He's the pride and joy of Buggy's Delivery."

Both captains of the organization looked at each other, before looking back at Alphonse.

"He's the brilliant little mercenary."

Omake:

Herc was drinking some grog, and winced in pain. He put down his drink as he began to rub his still sore stomach. "he really is the captain's older brother. Kid packs one hell of a wallop."

"That he does," Herm said as he rubbed his still pulsing face. "I still surprised he didn't shatter my face."

"And he's still growing," Diana said as she ate her meal. "He's so strong, and at such a young age. I can only imagine how much more powerful that child will grow once he reaches adolescence, let alone adulthood."

The two men shivered at the thought.

"As if that boy wasn't strong enough already," Herc said.

"Well, what do you expect from the Pirate King's kid? Everyone in that family of his is a monster. Look at our captain. Kid's a beast," Herm replyed.

"And he is also growing," Diana stated.

"Heh. Makes me feel inadequate. It's humbling for a man strong enough to defeat a giant to be bested by a child," Herc said as he drank more booze.

"Guess we need to get stronger," Herm said as he ate a grape.

"Indeed, we do," Diana agreed with a smile.

"STOP GETTING SO DAMNED COMFORTABLE!" The three looked up to see Buggy yelling at someone. "THIS IS MY HOME!" They then heard what sounded like Luffy laughing.

"Sounds like Mr. Buggy's having some quality time with the Pirate King," Herc stated.

"Gotta admit, it takes quite a pair to yell at the strongest guy on the seas," Herm commented.

Diana giggled. "That's our president."

The three then continued to eat, enjoying their meals and their life within Buggy's Delivery.

A/N: This took WAY too long to make.
