I just want to say 'Thank you' to all of those who faved, followed, and or wrote a review for this or any of my stories, it means a lot to me and other authors to have your support and encouragement.

"Talking"

'Thinking'

(Scene Break)

Luna could not believe what had happened to the ship while she was sick with the flu. It was like the ship had not been cleaned for about six months, it was that bad off. She even put a rule in place: 'No sake until the ship is clean and approved and yes, that means you, Shanks and your crew.' Boy did Shanks really move and clean like never before. Ben Beckman looked like his birthday came early this year as he finally found ou what he had to do to make Shanks do his chores.

Luna had to kick Mihawk's ass several times, because he tried to sneak away when she was not looking. Still, Mihawk tries to get into her pants more than a few times. It was so very annoying and it seems that Mihawk made it his life's goal to get her into his bed.

Apparently, Luna had to hide his sword in order to get Mihawk to help clean up. It basically took everyone a couple of days, before Luna declared it was clean enough and that they could go and also that they are allowed to have sake once again. Once the sword was in his hand again, Mihawk could not leave fast enough, but Shanks stopped long enough to give her a quick kiss on the cheek. And much to the shock of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Captain himself, Luna did not scream and slap him; instead she just blushed and giggled. Shanks left with a huge smile on his face.

A couple of days later…

Whitebeard decided it was time to check on some of the islands that were under his protection and stay at least for a couple of days on each island. Jimbie decided to tag along because he would use that time to teach Luna some things and they needed a beach to do it at.

The first island was beautiful and Luna just loved it at the first sight of it. It was a tropical island. The temperature was perfect; it was not too cool or too hot to even move about. And there were so many different kinds of flowers that it was simply amazing to see. Her favorite flower was a very sweet smelling one and it was so huge and strong that it could be used as a chair, except it was a man eating flower. Luna was surprised that this island could exist in the New World.

The people who are living on the island were extremely happy and excited to see them arrive. They even threw a huge all night party for them. According to Thatch, the people regarded Whitebeard and them as their saviors as they put a stop to other pirates coming and destroying their villages and even some of the pirates would capture them and sell them as slaves to the nobles or anyone who afford to buy slaves.

When the people found out that she was a siren from the sea that fell from the sky like an angel and now was called Mom. They set up another chair next to Whitebeard and basically forced her to sit in it for the rest of the night. But one of the most embarrassing things happened to her when the little children came running up to her and called her Grandma, much to everyone's surprise and amusement. She was so getting teased later on by the rest of the crew as she too young to be called a Grandma just yet. It was cute, but it would have been even cuter if it was not done to her. After that, everyone began to tease her by calling her grandma occasionally.

The next morning…

Jimbie had woken Luna up very early as the sun was just rising. He had decided to start her training as the tide was coming in and that made it the perfect time to start this type of training. Luna had to get dressed in an emerald green bikini that Thatch had gotten her while she was recovering from her injuries. She had to eat a very light breakfast.

So now she and Jimbie are sitting cross leg, waist deep in the ocean water. Luckily, the water was warm and comfortable. Jimbie is trying to teach Luna how to breathe under water like her ancestors all of those centuries ago. Normally it was the mother who taught the children these skills at a very young age. But since Luna did not have a mother and no memory, the responsibility fell on Jimbie's shoulders and he did not mind doing it at all. Infact, he felt honored that he would be teaching the siren these skills.

"Okay," Jimbie began to instruct Luna. "You need to be totally relaxed. Start breathing deeply, in and out, in and out. Relax your body. Stretch out your senses through the ocean water. The ocean and you are one being that is working together. Keep up the deep breathing."

Luna soon felt the connection between her and the ocean, soon Luna began sensing life that lives in the ocean waters. Soon Jimbie's voice faded into the background and then it soon faded into nothing. Suddenly, a hand gently grabbed her shoulder, waking her from the trance like state that she was in. Luna opened her eyes and saw that she was under water with Jimbie. It did not take long for her to realize that she was breathing under water with perfect ease.

Jimbie felt pride and was very proud of Luna's progress. He had been trying to her teach her how to breathe under water for the last several weeks now, and after slow progress, Luna finally got it down.

Jimbie gave her a proud smile, "Congratulations Mom! I believe that you got this skill down, but I want you to walk around while remaining under water for a couple of more hours and keep practicing. I will inform Pops of your progress, before leaving for Fishman Island. While I am gone, I want you to keep on practicing breathing under water for a couple of hours every day."

Luna gave him a huge smile and a hug before walking around, looking and studying things that surround her.

On the Moby Dick…

Jimbie is standing in front of Pops, dripping sea water on the deck as he had just climbed out of the ocean.

"So how is our Mom doing?" Whitebeard asked.

Jimbie gave him a proud smile, before answering, "Mom finally got the skill of breathing under water down. I told her to keep practicing for a couple of more hours today and to keep on practicing for a couple of hours every day."

"That sounds like wonderful news and we should celebrate her progress when Mom comes back," Whitebeard announced. Like Shanks, Whitebeard looks for any reason or excuse to throw a party and to get as drunk as possible.

"I have to return to Fishman Island to give a report to the King about Mom's progress and also to research the next step of Mom's training.

You think that people would organize the royal library by now, but no, everything is in chaos that you can't really find what you are looking for." Jimbie stated.

Everyone chuckled at Jimbie pouting at the thought of returning to the library. Thatch asked, "Why don't you request for help in looking for the books then?"

Jimbie gave them a small grin as he answered, "I did request for help in searching, but they are not having any real luck in finding anything."

Marco thought of something and asked Jimbie, "Why are the books on sirens scattered throughout the library in the first place?"

Jimbie's expression turned serious as he answered, "Because when the World Government officially declared the siren race has been wiped out, they gave the order that if anyone had any written documents on the sirens that it should be destroyed immediately. But there were scholars who ignored the order and they were killed and their things were destroyed. So when the Government came knocking on our door, they witnessed a huge burning of those books. Here is the thing, we tricked them. Since the sirens are part of our history and we did not want to loose that in case one would show up like Mom did, then we could help them if needed."

Vista asked curiously, "How did you trick the World Government?"

Jimbie gave them a huge grin, "We switched the covers on the books and then mixed the library up, so the books could stay safe. We were just lucky that the government people didn't check the contents of those books first before we burned them."

Whitebeard asked, "Then if you didn't burn them, what did you really burn?"

Jimbie gave them a one word answer, "Porn."

That one word sent everyone on the deck into rib cracking laughter. Some of them were laughing so hard that they fell on the floor as their legs were unable to hold them up any longer. They could imagine the expressions of the men's faces as they watched their porn being burned and the government actually believing that the merpeople were sad to see part of their history being destroyed.

AN: I apologize a lot for the long update. I just had a writer's block and also life was kicking my ass at the time. I hope that you like it. Please write a review telling me what you think of it. Have a wonderful day, everyone. And a Happy New Year!
