(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter)
"So are you going to join my crew son?" Linlin asked looking at Luffy with a wide grin on her face at how strong her missing son was. He was certainly strong enough to be a Sweet Commander.
"Why would I want to do that?" Luffy asked confused as he looked at his mother with his brow furrowed.
"You're my son." Linlin said frowning as she looked at him now while he looked confused even more than before.
"So what?" Luffy asked confused.
"All of my children join my crew." Linlin said her eyes narrowing at Luffy who just picked his nose, causing his siblings to face-palm or look disgusted.
"So?" Luffy asked unbothered.
"So you're my child. You join my crew." Linlin said bluntly and making Luffy pull a face.
"No. The king of Pirates can't have a Captain." Luffy said as if this were a commonly known fact. His siblings all went wide eyed or stiffened at that as they stared at their brother while Big Mom paused for a moment.
"Pirate King? So you're trying to become the ruler of the seas." Linlin said making Luffy frown and tilt his head confused.
"Ruler? I don't want to rule anything. Don't you know?" Luffy asked smiling slightly as he looked up at his mother who blinked at this, her son wanted to be a King but not a ruler?
"Being the King of Pirates means being the free-est person in the world." Luffy said with his brightest grin on his face.
"So you don't want to be anything but free?" Cinnamon asked looking surprised and earning a nod from Luffy and an even brighter smile.
"Right! That's what being a pirate is about! Being free and following your dreams!" Luffy said with a grin that was as bright as the sun and earning fond smiles from his crew.
"Don't you have a dream?" Luffy asked looking at his mom and siblings who all frowned for a minute.
"Building a country where everyone can be treated equally whether they're fish-men or long-leg or long-arm or even three-eyed." Big Mom was the first to speak and making her children look up at her surprised and earning a wide grin from Luffy.
"That's a great dream! Treating people bad because of the way they were born is stupid! I mean Chopper is a blue nosed reindeer but he's the best doctor ever!" Luffy said picking Chopper up and earning a blush and wiggle from the doctor who was calling him an asshole.
"I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree with the shitty captain." Sanji said jabbing his thumb at Luffy and immediately being sent flying by a hard punch to the face by Praline.
"No one insults one of my siblings in front of me." Praline growled dangerously at Sanji.
"Shishishishi! Sanji got his ass kicked!" Luffy just pointed and laughed at his cook's misfortune while Chopper rushed over to the blond who stood up and brushed off his suit.
"Luffy? Usually you're the first to start fighting when someone attacks our crew." Nami said looking at her captain surprised even as she had brought out her upgraded clima-tact.
"But Sanji's not hurt. He dodged most of it." Luffy said with a grin even as Sanji worked his jaw for a minute as he walked back over.
"Nice hit. I had that coming I suppose." Sanji said nodding to Praline and not looking bothered in the least bit at how easily he was sent flying just now.
"How'd you feel if we insulted your siblings right in front of you?" Amande asked from where she was standing beside Luffy with one hand on his shoulder and one on her sword hilt.
"If it was my brothers I'd probably agree with you. My sister though…I see your point." Sanji said even as he let Chopper fuss and rub some bruise cream on his cheek.
"So you have a dream then?" Big Mom asked looking at Luffy who grinned up at her again.
"Yep me and my whole crew have dreams! I'm going to be the King of Pirates!" Luffy said making his crewmates shake their head slightly in fondness. Brook just laughed.
"Finding the All-Blue." Sanji said smiling fondly at his captain.
"Making a map of the whole world!" Nami said excitedly, lowering her baton.
"Finding a cure for every disease!" Chopper said beaming up at them all.
"Reuniting with an old friend and keeping a promise." Brook said leaning against his guitar.
"Pretty lofty dreams." Smoothie said making Luffy twist his head around near 180 degrees to smile at her.
"The fuck?!" Flambe yelped jumping away from the Straw Hat wearing boy while more than a few cringed or recoiled at the owl like action.
"Flambe! Language around the little ones!" Big Mom chided immediately as she glared at her near fire-fly daughter.
"Shishishi! You're all weird." Luffy said with a laugh and not seeming to care about the looks of disbelief, disgust, and horror he was getting from several of his siblings.
"If you won't join us then what about an alliance?" Big Mom asked looking back at Luffy who grinned at her.
"Okay!" Luffy agreed with a ready shrug earning face palms from all of his present crewmembers.
"Most of our alliances are sealed with marriage however…" Big Mom trailed off as she thought about that for a minute.
"Did I miss a meeting?" Jimbe's voice called from behind Big Mom, causing everyone to look towards him and for Luffy to beam with two thirds the radiance of Prometheus.
"Jimbe!" Luffy cried as he Rocketed himself straight at the Fish-man, who caught him effortlessly.
"Luffy-kun!" Jimbe said shocked to see the boy who was now wrapping his extended arms around Jimbe's neck in a hug.
"Are you going to join my crew now Jimbe or do you still have to do that important thing?" Luffy asked eagerly with wide bright eyes.
"Join your crew?" Perospero asked looking from Jimbe to Luffy, causing Luffy's head to twist around as he beamed at his eldest brother.
"Yeah! Jimbe promised to join my crew after he did something really important! I've been asking him to join almost since we met in Impel Down!" Luffy said with a bright grin and earning a twitch from one of his siblings at the mention of Impel Down, his assembled crews faces going blank.
"We heard you had broken out of Impel Down." Smoothie trailed off slightly as she eyed her brother who nodded his head.
"Yeah I broke in with some help to try and save Ace but that stupid Maggy guy and those wolves poisoned me and was trying to hurt Bon-chan but Iva-chan saved us. While I was getting better they moved Ace out but I didn't know it so when we got to that level we let out some of the other prisoners and broke out! Jimbe was there and he helped me lots with both Impel Down, Marineford, and at Amazon Lily after the war was over." Luffy said nodding his head and not looking bothered as he casually mentioned the war where he lost his older brother, causing his crew to flinch slightly but smile as they walked over to Jimbe.
"It's great to see you again so soon Jimbe! It seems like it wasn't but a week ago we were at Fishman Island fighting against Hordy with you and you were giving Luffy a blood transfusion." Nami said her smile warm and soft as she walked up to Jimbe who smiled back at her.
"It is wonderful to see you all as well but I was not expecting you so soon. How did you get here before I did?" Jimbe asked looking at them all and making them all look at Nami who rolled her eyes.
"It's a story that could only happen to Luffy." Nami said earning a solemn nod of understanding from the large blue shark-man.
"That's it!" Big Mom said perking up as she thought of something, making all of her children jump or tense and look at her. She said nothing about how Bege stepped in front of Chiffon almost protectively or about how Jimbe had quickly covered the Strawhats protectively as well.
"What is it mama?" Compote asked looking at her mother who grinned.
"Instead of a marriage to seal the alliance…Jimbe can join Luffy's crew as a liaison!" Big Mom said making Jimbe pause as he looked between Luffy and Big Mom.
"Alliance?" Jimbe questioned looking at Nami and Sanji for a straight answer since Luffy would only confuse him more.
"Oh that's right you weren't here for that Luffy ranked cannon blast." Nami said realizing that Jimbe wouldn't realize what had happened.
The others were more than a bit amused at the face Jimbe pulled at the news Sanji had bluntly delivered while lighting a cigarette.
"Jimbe meet Luffy's mother Big Mom."
