Everything happening around the world.
With the Grandfleet
"Seems like you guys are in the wrong part of town." Gin held his baton in hand, a submarine suddenly emerge from out of nowhere. Then Chopper emerged along with Bepo.
"Damn it Bepo, you got us in the wrong place again." Said Chopper, smacking the head of poor Bepo.
"Ow ow! Sorry Captain!" Replied the navigator.
"As entertaining as this is, again you guys need to go else where." Said Gin, once again emphasizing his point. Everyone else was back in the main base, having a meeting about new ways to efficiently handle ration and all the boring meeting stuff that Kuro seemed to love. Gin was in charge of patrol along with a couple of the Grandfleet member.
Now Gin stood alongside some of the members, telling the new arrivals to leave before things get ugly. He twirled his weapon of choice showing of his proficiency with his craft.
"You know, we just got lost, so we will go on our way." Replied Chopper, not really liking the way Gin spoke to him. But he wasn't one to pick a fight just for fun so he let it go for now.
"Oi don't speak to my captain like that you punk." Chopper looked back to find that Bepo was locked in a fight with Gin, ignoring his order.
Gin countered the man's kick by catching it with his weapon, then he tried to slash down with his other baton. Bepo was quicker than expected as he rolled backwards dodging Gin's attack. The duo stared down one another for a moment before jumping at each other for another clash.
Though a new man intervened, catching the duo with his metal arm. Gin's baton hit the man's left blade arm while Bepo's kick was caught by the man's right blade hand.
"What is going in here?" Crocodile has joined the party, alerted by the disturbance by the sand in the beach. It was a precaution he added to the island which the Grandfleet set up camp for the time being. He grabbed Bepo by his shirt, holding him up in the sky. What Crocodile did not expect was a reindeer grabbing his crew mate back within a few moment. His legs was longer and his form seemed that of a speedster.
'Chopper speed point.' He wasn't no push over. Chopper mastered his devil fruit ability, awakening the fruit ability and now he can change into many different forms. "Like I said we are going on our way." Chopper and Bepo boarded their submarine, but before they left, Chopper had something to say. "You guys wave the strawhat flag...Interesting." With that they were gone leaving Gin, Crocodile and Galdino by themselves.
"Yo Crocodile, how was he able to get the jump from under your nose?" Asked Gin.
"Shut up Gin." Crocodile scoffed and returned back to the main base, he felt that he must have been going soft and need more training for future battles.
Amazon Lily
"Thank you great Kuja Pirate, I am done with my research." True to her word, Robin was able to finish her research in less than a day.
"Off with you then." Replied Boa Hancock, still skeptical of her decision to assist her fellow schibukai.
"Again please keep this between us." With that Robin made her exit. She radioed her crew, alerting them of her return. What was troubling was there was someone tailing her, she knew it, she could tell. So she stop mid step, causing the person to reveal their location, even with a slight misstep was enough. Robin crossed her hands, branches of her hands licked up together and went right after the person following her, they were skilled enough to dodge her initial attack but was hit directly with the giant feet she summoned from thin air.
The person in question sat under her giant feet and Robin got a good look of them before beginning her interrogation.
"Who sent you?" The look in her eyes were ice cold, possibly killing somebody didn't even seem to faze her one bit.
"Noone!" The person tried to bite his own tongue only for his mouth to be held open by Robin's ability.
"Painful it is then..."
Only moments passed and Robin got her answer, she walked away from the scene where the person tailing her lay in his own filth and blood. His body was disturbing to say the least.
"Why insist on tailing me Donflamingo." She made her way back to her crew, all could tell she was in a foul mood. Everyone took a step back except for Kuzan, who was her right hand man, he followed her to the captain's deck.
"What's up?" He asked sitting at the chair in front of her desk.
"That damn Donflamingo keeps tailing me. It's quiet annoying to say the least." Said Robin, slamming her hands on the table, her frustration was clear despite her usual calm demeanor.
"Look, Robin. Where I got you out of Ohara, you didn't even cry, didn't even flinch at the taught that everyone you knew and loved were killed. You didn't know this but I heard you, in the middle of the night silently weeping to yourself. I know you got to keep a strong face for everyone, don't show them weakness or they will use it against you. Do you understand me?" Asked Kuzan, creating a flower made out of ice. "Now relax a little bit and tell me what you read."
"A whole lot of nothing is what I found." She inspected the flower and put it on her desk.
"Hmm another false lead I see." Said Kuzan, another figure emerge from the doorstep, it was a fellow member of the Schibukai and one of Robin's closes friends.
"Report Nico Robin?" Said the man bear in a robotic voice. He held a bible in one hand, hugging it to his body.
"Oh shut it you big baby!" Robin went and gave the giant bear man a hug. " I didn't know you were coming today Kuma!"
Bartholomew Kuma
Schibukai
"Haha! Well Dragon-sama wanted me to check up on you to see what you've learned in your search." Said the man bear called Kuma.
"Ah so Mr. tough Dragon wanted to check up on me huh?" Said Robin trying to sound hurt. "Does he really think I'm fragile?"
"Don't get him wrong now Robin, he just cares for you like one his children."
"Yeah yeah, well tell him I am at a dead end here."
"You looking a little pale there Kuma, got something you want to tell us?" Kuzan was a great judge of emotion and he immediately saw something was wrong with Kuma.
"Always observant Kuzan... well I don't got much to live..."
"No!" Exclaimed both Robin and Kuzan.
"Yeah... well the world government has been pushing to make copies of me, a full army made with my strength and ability."
"You can't let them do that to you."
"It's okay I got an inside man tweaking their experiment. I should know the full details of their work and help the revolutionary counter it." Said Kuma.
"You're still going to die though." Said Robin, unable to hold her tears.
"Everyone dies some day Robin, my time is just sooner than everyone else..." Replied the bear man named Kuma.
Somewhere in the Grandline
Earlier in Alabasta
"So you're telling me Crocodile just went away and disappeared along with everyone in his organization?" A very furious Marine Captain was interviewing the seemingly oblivious princess who was protecting her friends.
"Yeah, that's exactly what happened." Said Vivi.
"Interesting." Nami calm her nerves, not wanting to show more of her anger to the princess of an entire country. "Thank you for your time Princess, my colleagues will escort you back to the palace."
"No need, I know my way back." She smiled at the Marine Captain and left.
Now the Marine Captain was obsesively tracking every known movement of strawhat Luffy, but there was a change of plan.
"Smoker!" She exclaimed, she dropped the den den mushi she was just speaking on slamming it shut.
"Yes Captain?" Smoker was quick to show up.
"We got word from the HQ, new mark."
"Who?" Asked the Vice Captain.
"Buggy the clown, he seems to be making waves causing enough trouble to get our immediate attention." Said Captain Nami.
"Understood." Replied Smoker.
It did not take long for Nami to locate Buggy the clown as he was extremely novice in covering his track, plus Captain Nami had exceptional navigation skill. So good that she could predict where someone would go if there were like Buggy who was just sloppy.
"Look here men, we warrant the attention of Marine's, I am starting to get famous I see!" Exclaimed the boisterous Buggy the Clown, despite his true feelings being that of a terrified little girl.
"Buggy the Clown, you are under arrest." Nami had her perfect Climatact at hand, Smoker right beside him along with armed marine officers.
"Like I would ever be beaten by the likes of you!" Buggy tried his best to act tough as he separated his body. Even though it was a good trick, Nami was quick to disperse of his act causing a snow storm. Buggy was literally freezing his pants as he was slow to float around with his separated body.
Alvida, Cabaji, and Mohji couldn't do a thing since Smoker cornered them. Buggy's crew was completely outmatched and easily defeated by Nami's division.
As soon as they called there success to their superior, Nami received word that she would receive a promotion to Commodores for her work and efficiency. Smoker would also be promoted to Captain, able to take his own division of Marines or remain with Nami. Smoker chose to stay with her.
They felt something brewing, why such quick promotion from taking in such low class pirates. Something was definitely going on and they did not like it.
Impel Down
"Checking in Prisoner to Level 2, Buggy the Clown, Iron Mace Alvida."The duo was escorted to their cells, unable to do anything but accept their fate. They were wondering how Cabaji and Mohji were doing, most likely suffering as well in level 1. Suddenly, Buggy got a glimpse of somebody else a new person getting checked into prison. It was non other than...
"Checking in prisoner for level six, Portgas D. Ace" Said the jailer of impel down, Vice Warden Hannyabal. Authority rang through his actions as if he knew what he was doing. He held the man named Ace by his sea stone cuffs, escorting him through the many levels of the underground prison. "You're shit out of luck, can't believe you got done in by Teach, your old subordinate! What shitty irony."
Ace just held his head down, slowly making his way through hell, literal hell. Each floor was worst than the other, but he was used to the extreme weather, that didn't bother him as much as the prospect of possibly causing a war that he did not want. Knowing the old man, he knew they would try something to get him out. He didn't want that, he did not want to risk everyone's life for his own. Everyone would try to save him, he knew that much. Everyone is family, Jozu, Vista, Namur, Izo, Sanji, and everyone else, he knew those stubborn son's of bitches would come, even if he wanted them to stay away.
Ace remembered Luffy, his silly little brother who he will leave behind because of his dumb decision. 'I'm sorry little brother.'
They finally made it to the lowest level of the underground prison, there he was escorted to his own cell, cry's of other prisoners echoed in the air, pure suffering was evident.
"Now rot in here you damn pirate bastard." Said Hannyabal laughing as he got on the escalator to the top floor.
Then moments passed, it must have been seconds or hours, he was just thinking to himself the whole time unable to do anything else. He reflected on his battle with Teach, still kicking himself for going into the fight without prior knowledge of what the guy could do.
Darkness absorbs everything, even devil fruit powers. How unlucky for Ace to fight someone the literally absorbs everything.
Suddenly, a light approached his cell, a face of a monster was looking deep into his eyes. The man scoffed and glared at Ace.
"You are Portgas D. Ace..." The man said
Ace returned his look by also giving him the most hateful look he could muster.
"You still have some fight I see. I am called Magellan, the Warden of Impel down, I just wanted to introduce myself and to let you know" The man grasp Ace's cell bar, the cell bar suddenly began to melt, the bar which the man touch was no more. "...don't get any funny ideas."
The man walked away, leaving Ace with nothing but darkness and the sound of tortured souls.
In Fishman Island
"Brother we have to go!" Exclaimed Daifuku as his Genie was fighting Jozu to a standstill. He could not penetrate the man's diamond skin.
"Brother Zoro! We have to go!" Oven repeated what Daifuku said, emphasizing on how important it was for them to leave. He was keeping Vista at bay, but the man was slowly getting closer and closer to him. The duo just found out from their sister, Brulee, that Mama was going on a rampage once again. Brulee was a devil fruit user who travel's through mirrors and use mirrors at her will, a convenient ability and a very powerful one.
"Looks like you're being summoned." Said Sanji as he dodged Zoro's attacks. He was kicking the air strong enough that Sanji seemed to be walking on air.
Zoro returned his weapon back to their hilt, closing his one good eye for a moment, taking a deep breathe. "I will definitely remember you, we shall meet again." Just like that , the Charlotte family entered a mirror which Daifuku was carrying and left the island. No traces of them could be found anywhere.
"Damn, just when it was getting good." Said Jozu.
"We got a problem of our own...Ace has been captured!" Exclaimed Vista, reading the letter he received from a messenger bird who delivered the letter right after their battle.
"Ace has been captured! Let's return to Pop's!" Sanji's cigarette dropped from his mouth as his shock was genuine. The trio was able to ward off Big Mom's children, but now they could possibly lose one of their brothers.
Somewhere in Skypiea
The man could barely move a muscle, breathing was a challenge, even blinking was difficult. The man who was once hailed as God laid on a medical bed barely hanging on to life. He could barely make out the people who was tending to his wounds.
"Thank goodness, you're finally conscious." Said someone, he could recognize his voice but he could barely remember anything.
"God Usopp is awake everyone!" Exclaimed someone else, someone familiar. As the blurred vision cleared up, he could see his entire God's army surrounding him, all of which had a concerned look on their face. Ohm, Satori, Shura, Gedatsu, everyone was there.
He has never felt so relieve to see such familiar faces, everyone was loyal to him, even though he treated everyone like crap.
"God Usopp, the straw hat pirates have given Gan Fall the throne back, but they are gone and we have a chance to take it back. What do you think?" Said Ohm.
"I think..." He was still searching his mind for answers, memories of the battle emerged back in his mind. "..no." Everyone was surprise by his answer, unable to believe that he did not want the throne.
"Then what now?" Asked Shura.
Good question...what now... the man who was once a God was beaten, he completely underestimated Monkey D. Luffy and it cost him. What now? He continued to ask himself unable to find an answer. What was his goal all along? To find battles that would etch his name in history, that's why he wanted to go to the moon, to find worthy warriors that could match his strength.
Fighting Luffy proved that he did not have to go to the moon. He could go down to the Blue Sea and find great battles there. Yes. That was what they will do.
"We will first repair the Arc Maxim and ensure that it can float...for we are going down to the Blue Sea..." Was God Usopp's proclamation.
With the Strawhat Pirates
"We need a shipwright to repair our ship, know anyone?" The crew has landed on a place called Water 7, the place where all the best shipwrights were located.
"Everyone is a shipwright here kid!" Replied a man who resembled a human puppet. His name was Kaku, a well renowned man who worked for the Galley-La company. "Yo boss! These kids are looking for a shipwright to repair their ship."
"Shut up, you're too loud. Hey everyone my name is Iceburg, I own this company as well as the mayor of this great city. Welcome to Water 7 and I'm glad you chose the Galley-La Company to oversee your repairs. Now let's start budget, how much money do you wish to spend?"
"We don't have any." Said Luffy, he was accompanied by Tashigi and Marco, everyone else was out doing a little exploring.
"Then business is adjourned see you guys later!" Iceburg immediately left the trio to themselves, confusing them.
A man with a well trimmed beard and shades approached them, his aura reflected that of a strong person. The trio got suspicious, almost revealing their weapon. "Show me to your ship, I may be able to help." Said the man.
"Okay let's go." Ever so carefree, Luffy agreed to accept the assistance of the stranger, leading him back to their ship. Tashigi and Marco hang back a little watching the man's every move. They finally arrived to the Going Merry and the stranger went and touched the ship, inspecting everything about it.
"Your ship is dying." Said the man, he knew by just touching the ship of it's condition.
"Then fix her." Said Luffy firmly.
"Look, if you want to help your ship, you have to send her off by fire. It's the only way." Said the man.
"Like hell I would!" Luffy replied, stubborn as ever.
"Luffy let it go...Going Merry can't go on any longer..." As hard as it was for Tashigi to say, she could see the damages that Going Merry sustained. And she could tell that she was suffering. Everyone returned back to the ship, the whole crew was back together.
Little did they know, a group of eyes were watching their every move. As the drama unfolded before them, a group of people were tailing the strawhat pirates, all had one mission, to capture Trafalgar D. Law, interrogate him, and eliminate him. The group immediately dispersed, their perfect disguised was immediately dropped as soon as their target was revealed.
A smoke bomb was thrown at the ship, causing everyone to lose their senses. Even the new guy who gave them the bad news was passing out from the gas.
"Who the hell are you people! Exclaimed Luffy as he tried to fight them off." He looked around to see that his whole crew were lying face down on the floor, the affect of the gas was quick. "Answer me!" He held on a man's pants, trying his best to keep his grip, but the man kicked his feet out of the way. He could only distinctly remember his bird, a white bird to be precise.
Hours later...
Luffy was the first to wake up, jumping up to his feet with his fist raised. "You bastards!" But noone was there, the group that attacked them were gone.
"Ugh what happened." Everyone else was slow to get up.
"Everyone okay?" Luffy looked around making sure his crew was okay.
"Where's Law?" Asked Enel. "Yo Law?"
"Where the hell is Law?!" Exclaimed Luffy, his guts telling him those people that attacked them were a big part of this.
"I know who took your friend. They were my old coworkers." Said the man. Luffy was on top of him as soon as he said he knew those people.
"You part of them too!" Luffy readied his fist, almost punching the guy but Katakuri held him back.
"Give the guy a chance, he knows something." Katakuri managed to calm their captain down.
"So talk." Said Luffy.
"I recognized them, those were Rob Lucci, Kaku and Khalifa. But a couple of people I could not recognize." The man stretched his body, as he was stiff the whole time from being knocked out from the gas.
"And...?" Asked Luffy.
"I don't know what they want with your friend but one of them said something about returning to base...to Enies Lobby." Said the man.
"That's a government facility." Said Marguerite, familiar with the layout of the government system. "It's full of marines and high ranking officers alike."
"I don't care, were going there and were going to get our doctor back!" Exclaimed Luffy.
"Aye." Replied everyone, Captain's orders. Everyone prepared themselves for the upcoming journey.
"Listen man, I know you just met me and all but I think you might need someone to make sure your ship is up to standard." Everyone looked at him causing the man to be a bit flustered. "Well what I'm trying to say is you need a shipwright and I want answers to why those people I use to know would do something like that. So how about I join you guys and be a shipwright, atleast for now?"
"Okay, you are officially our shipwright!" Replied Luffy, smiling for a moment despite the serious situation.
"Wait! I mean only for now..." The man tried to change the mind of the Captain.
"Can it newbie, he won't listen." Said a laughing Enel. Katakuri, Tashigi, and Marco rolled their eyes.
"What's your name anyway?" Asked Marguerite, another person who asked to join the strawhat pirates.
"Well the name is Vergo, nice to meet everyone." The man with the well trimmed mustache and shades greeted everyone shaking their hands and hugging them. It was a good feeling to be part of something, this time, hopefully something real.

"Seems like somebody is late once again." Said the man with a pink flamingo coat, sitting at the biggest throne in the room. "Glad everyone else can make it on time, Trebol, Diamante, Pica..."
Trebol
Donquixote Pirate Club
Diamante
Donquixote Pirate Diamond
Pica
Donquixote Pirate Spade
"Ofcourse." Everyone said simultaneously. All took a seat on their respective chair. Trebol took a seat on the club chair, Diamante took the diamond seat while Pica took the spade seat, leaving only the heart seat.
"Now were only missing...ah glad for you to join us." Donflamingo was not one to wait for anyone, but he was in a good mood today, as things was starting to steer up in the world.
Donquixote Donflamingo
Schibukai
"Glad to be here." The man bowed, his joint clicked metallically with each movement. "I do apologize for being late as I was occupied with dealing with Arena duties." Said the cyborg, walking to his seat. He sat on the heart chair completing Donflamingo's most trusted people.
"I have summoned you four because I am hearing of a possible revolt around my land. I want it silenced at once." His smile faded from his face as more serious talk followed. "Trebol, make sure Sugar stays happy, she is key to our plans here in Dressrosa."
"Ofcourse, she will always be protected by me." Replied Trebol.
"Diamante, kill anyone that even utters the word 'Revolt' and Pica you will give him names of people that do." The duo nodded.
"Lastly Cyborg Franky, don't be late or I'll really kill you this time." The Cyborg smirked, unable to hold himself since Donflamingo always says something like this but never follows through.
