I've noticed that people have been calling for the return of some of the other characters from back home (Mostly Law, but...)

So I decided to bring them back in this way. Hope you like this kind of unusual chapter.

"They did?"

Olivia nodded. "They left for Sabaody a couple of days ago. Didn't Robin tell you?"

Law and Kid looked at each other. "No. No one told us."

Olivia frowned. "Huh. That's surprising. Why do you want Robin anyway?"

"We wanted to ask Straw Hat, Roronoa and Sanji if they wanted to play soccer with us. We went to Straw Hat's house, but no one was home," Kid explained.

"So then we went to Roronoa's and no one was there either. We thought they might be at Sanji's restaurant, but they weren't there either," Law continued.

"We then went to the park, but they weren't there either. We thought they might be here," Kid said, completing the explanation.

Olivia nodded slowly. "I see. Well, sorry, they won't be back until next week." Kid and Law nodded.

"Thank you Miss Nico," Law politely thanked, bowing slightly, whilst Kid turned around and walked off, not even bothering to wait for Law.

Hancock giggled girlishly to herself, unable to contain her excitement. After returning from vacation four days ago, she hadn't had a chance to talk to Sanji at all. That, plus the week she had spent on vacation before, was the longest they had gone without seeing each other since first started going out. So, she had planned a special romantic day out for the two if she could get Zeff to excuse Sanji, which was never a problem for her. Zeff seemed to have a soft spot for her. Then again, so did pretty much everyone.

"Good morning Babe!" Hancock cheerfully greeted as she opened the door of the Baratie.

No response. The restaurant was nearly completely empty, with a couple of waiters chatting idly by the kitchen. They glanced over at Hancock and their eyes widened. They immediately stumbled towards her, both trying desperately to get ahead of the other.

"How may I help you?" they both asked simultaneously, both with perverted grins on their face as they excitedly looked Hancock over.

Hancock winced and nervously took a step back. "Where's Sanji?"

They both looked at each other. "He went on vacation the day before yesterday. Why?"

Hancock frowned. "Really? He didn't tell me."

The waiters looked at each other, before sighing. "Don't tell me... You're Sanji's girlfriend?"

Hancock nodded. They sighed in disappointment and slunk back to their original position by the kitchen, muttering about how Sanji would kill them if they even looked at his girlfriend. Hancock turned around and left the restaurant, feeling a little hurt. "Why didn't Sanji tell me he was going? Did he... forget me?"

######

Sanji yawned as he sat down in the hotel lobby. It was nearly midnight and everyone, by now, had gone to their rooms, retiring for the night. After dinner, he had gone with Nami to buy some postcards from a nearby souvenir shop so everyone could write home to whoever they wanted too. Sanji had bought two for himself so that he could write one to Zeff and one to Hancock.

He placed the postcard on the coffee table in front of him and begun to write, choosing to write Hancock's first because, honestly, she was more important to him.

To my dearest, how are you? Do you miss me? Because I miss you loads.

Sanji smirked as he leaned back, trying to remember his last meeting with Hancock before he left.

And then he paused. His eyes widened. He had planned to go to Hancock's house the night before setting off to say goodbye to her. But because of the incident with Chimney and Gonbe, he had completely forgotten about that. He had never told Hancock that he was leaving.

Sanji felt tears well up in his eyes. "H-Hancock... I'm so sorry... You must be so lonely without me..." Some of the other people in the lobby were staring at him, wondering why this tough looking teenager was crying like a little kid.

He then stared at the postcard, suddenly feeling determined to finish it as soon as possible and send it to Hancock.

######

"There you are! There's a letter here for you!" Hancock, who had just returned from the Baratie, frowned.

"Huh, a letter for me?"

Hancock's mother, Nyon, nodded. She handed the letter to Hancock, who looked confused, before gasping. She excitedly ripped the letter open. She looked at it for a second before squealing. Her younger sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold, looked at each other.

"Are you OK?"

Hancock nodded excitedly. "It's a postcard from Sanji! I'm surprised he sent it so soon..."

Nyon smiled. She really liked Sanji, she thought he was a real gentleman and loved how respectful he was, both to her, and to Hancock and her sisters. Plus, after meeting Luffy once at a soccer game, seeing Hancock with Sanji gave her a real sense of relief. "What does it say?"

Hancock lifted the letter up and began to read. "To my dearest Hancock. How are you? Do you miss me? Because I miss you loads. I am so sorry that I didn't tell you I was going. I am so so so so so so so so so so so-"

"Maybe you can skip the "so"s," Nyon interrupted. Hancock nodded.

"so so sorry. Can you ever forgive me? Once again I am so so so so so-"

Nyon sighed. "Let's skip the "so"s again."

"so sorry. Sabaody is truly beautiful, but its still nothing compared to you. I wish you were here with me so that we could enjoy the beauty of Sabaody together. I love you Hancock. Even though I love Sabaody, I can't wait to come home to you. Sanji." Hancock smiled. "I can't wait to see you too dear..."

######

Law half-heartedly rolled the soccer ball to Kid. "So... Where's Bonney?"

Kid yawned as he stopped the ball. "Out with her family." He weakly rolled the ball back to Law. "Where's Monet?"

"Work Experience. I think she's at some medical research lab or something."

"Cool."

"Very."

The two looked at each other, before dropping to the ground and groaning. "Damn... Why's it so quiet around here?"

"It's because there's no Straw Hat," Law said, "Normally he's doing something around about now. Its the summer, this is when he's at his best."

"By that, you mean his dumbest, right?"

"Well, yeah."

######

"Miss Kaya, a letter has arrived for you!" Merry called from the front porch. Kaya immediately got up and hurried over to him, hoping it was from Usopp. "It looks like a postcard."

He handed the letter to Kaya, who smiled as she recognised Usopp's messy handwriting. She turned the postcard over.

Dear Kaya,

Whats up? Must be pretty boring without me, right? Try not to miss me too much. Anyway, you won't believe some of the things that have happened in Sabaody so far...

Kaya excitedly scanned the letter, before giggling. She looked at Merry. "Apparently Usopp wrestled a shark underwater."

Merry laughed. "That's Master Usopp, always up to something..."

Kaya continued reading, before suddenly laughing again. "And he won a strong man competition on the beach too!"

Merry chuckled. "Of course he did."

Kaya smiled. "Sounds like he's really enjoying himself. I'm glad."

Merry nodded. "I don't think it would be possible for Master Usopp to not enjoy himself..."

Bellemere hummed lightly as she stepped out of the shower.

"Hey mom!" Nojiko called from the living room. "Come here! Nami sent us a postcard!" Bellemere grinned. She wrapped a towel around her torso and hopped down the stairs, taking the last three in one go.

Nojiko winced when she saw her. "Jeez, you could have put on some clothes first."

Bellemere looked down. It was kind of a small towel. She smiled sheepishly. "Come on, Its just you..."

Nojiko rolled her eyes. "Whatever." She handed the postcard to Bellemere.

Dear Mom and Nojiko,

How are you two? Must be quiet at home without me and Luffy. Well, mostly without Luffy. He's fine by the way, he's generally behaved himself so far. Thought trust me, its been a struggle. He nearly missed the flight because he forgot to set his alarm! That idiot...

Anyway Sabaody is amazingly beautiful, it really is like a tropical paradise. The town is amazing for shopping, although the prices are extortionate! Stupid stingy shopkeepers... Anyway, you'll never guess who we ran into... Kuina! Can you believe that, what are the odds?

Anyway, I'm really enjoing Sabaody, wish you guys were here, you'd love it! I really miss you guys though, I hope you don't miss me too much.

Nami xx.

Bellemere chuckled, "Those poor shopkeepers..."

######

Whats up Geezer?

Anyway, sorry if this is short, but I really can't be arsed to write this.

Sabaody's pretty nice, I miss you a lot, blah blah blah, try not to screw up too many orders,

Sanji.

A vein popped on Zeff's head. He crumpled up the postcard and tossed it in the bin. "Damn brat..." he grumbled as he returned to the dish he was cooking. "Why do I miss him?"

The other chefs in the kitchen nervously eyed Zeff. "Is he... OK?"

######

KNOCK KNOCK

"Come in," Commissioner Newgate, aka Whitebeard, barked. The door opened and Marco entered.

"Hey old man, check this out," he smirked, handing a postcard to Whitebeard, who was flicking through some paperwork.

"What is it?" Whitebeard grunted, putting it aside, not even bothering to look at it and returning to his paperwork.

"Its a postcard from Ace."

Whitebeard stopped looking through the papers and put them down. He picked up the postcard and turned it over.

Hey guys,

How are you doing? Hope you're not struggling too much without me. How's the old man? Still as grumpy as ever right?...

Whitebeard growled and put the postcard down. "Don't care. Now get back to work!" Marco sighed and turned around, leaving Whitebeard's office. When he was gone, Whitebeard waited a couple of seconds, before picking up the postcard again and continuing to read it.

######

Law frowned. After him and Kid had spent another hour or so at the park, playing Crossbar Challenge on the soccer pitches, they had gone back to his house. However, there was a letter stuck in the letter slot.

"What's that?" Kid grunted, forcibly yanking the letter out.

Law shook his head. "Dunno." He opened the door and him and Kid went in, Kid immediately jumping onto his couch. "Make yourself at home," Law sarcastically grunted, going into the kitchen. Kid smirked, putting his feet up on the couch, deliberately to annoy Law. "Want anything to drink?" Law called from the kitchen.

"Get me a Coke!"

After messing around in the kitchen for a bit, Law entered the living, frowning at the sight of Kid's feet on his couch. "Get you feet off my furniture." Kid glared at him, before sighing and putting his feet on the floor. Law smirked and tossed the can to Kid, who caught it. "So what does the letter say?"

"What letter?"

Law rolled his eyes. "The one from my front door."

"Huh, oh, I put it on the table. Didn't think you'd want me to open it."

Law shrugged. "Nah, I wouldn't have minded." He sat down on the couch opposite Kid. He neatly opened the letter, the envelope remaining completely intact. "A postcard?" He turned it over and smirked. "Its from Straw Hat!"

Kid sat up. "What really? How come you get one and I don't?"

Law read the first line. "'To Traffy and Kid', Its for both of us. 'How are you guys? Sabaody is awesome! There's a really cool beach and get this, there's an aquarium with an underwater tunnel! How cool is that? But Nami hasn't let me go there yet, she doesn't realise how cool it is. Our Hotel's awesome too! They have a ginormous buffet for breakfast! And the rooms are huge, they're like the size of my living room, its so cool! Sabaody's awesome, you guys have to come here some day! Your buddy, Luffy. P.S. Nami says Hi.'"

Kid rolled his eyes. "Its like it was written by a seven year old..."

Law ignored this and smirked. "Sounds like he's having fun."

"Clearly..."

Law then sat up. "Hey, I just got an idea!"

Kid smirked. "What is it... Traffy?"

Law glared at him. "Don't call me that."

######

Olivia yawned with boredom as she picked up the post from the front door. After Kid and Law's visit, it had been a pretty slow morning on her day off. She leafed through the letters before reaching a postcard from Robin's. "Aw, how thoughtful of her."

She made her way to the living room, making herself comfortable, before beginning to read.

Hey Mom, how are you?

These past couple of days have been really hectic.

Firstly, Zoro and the others nearly missed the flight yesterday. Zoro overslept (as usual) but they made it just in time and now we're all in Sabaody. Sabaody is a very peaceful and beautiful Island. We also ran into Zoro's ex-girlfriend at the airport, but don't worry, nothing has changed between me and Zoro. In fact, Zoro's actually looking over my shoulder now as I'm writing this.

I'm really enjoying myself here, but at the same time, I am missing you a lot. You'd love Sabaody, there is a lot of history behind this island. Did you know that the Celestial Dragons used to have a palace here? Amazing, right? We're actually going to be visiting it sometime in the next couple of days, something which I can see Zoro is dreading.

I hope you're doing well mom,

Robin

P.S. Zoro gives you his best.

Olivia smiled as she began to reread the postcard.

######

"Aren't you going to write one too?" Robin asked, offering Zoro a spare postcard she had picked up earlier from Sanji. Zoro yawned and shook his head.

"Nah, too much effort." He then flopped down on Nami and Robin's bed, picking up the TV remote from the bedside table.

Nami glared at him. "Do you have to hang out here? Why can't you go back to your own room?"

Zoro scratched his head. "My room's empty, Love Cook's hanging out in the lobby. Said it was quieter down there or something." He then smirked evilly "Besides... Robin wants me here. Don't you?"

Robin giggled. "Of course."

Nami jaw dropped. "Robin! Don't encourage him!"

Robin giggled as she kissed Zoro on the cheek. "Sorry, but I just can't say no to this one..."

Nami huffed. "Yeah, well maybe you should practise. I can see that policy not working out in the future..."

Zoro grinned as he pulled Robin close. "God you're amazing. I think that's the first time I've ever overruled Nami!"

Well? I know its something completely different from usual, and something you probably weren't expecting. But it seems like some people are missing the characters at home, so I thought this was an interesting way of bringing them back.

As always, thanks for reading, and drop a review/favourite/follow if you can!
