A Request from the Beginning

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece.

Exactly twenty years came by where we last saw the Strawhats as they began their New World training. During that time, the pirates began to look ready for the greatest ocean to a sailor; Zoro had become more muscular and had more scars showing on his bare chest, Nami had a finer hourglass figure and brighter hair, Usopp had a thicker black hair and a longer nose, Sanji this time finally shown both of his eyes yet instead he had his hair draped on both sides along with a much more slender body with finally some muscle showing, Chopper has a brighter brown fur with his favorite hat showing since twenty two years ago, Robin also had a hourglass figure with a black as ravens color hair, Franky seemed to look like he remodeled himself to look more robotic yet he is still more muscular, Brook just has a lot of his bone body to show yet they all look iron hard and now he tried some attacks of his fighting style.

One will notice that during their training, they never gotten new outfits since they were in the wild yet they were more focused on making to the finish line. Today, they finally make it there to find no one there when they began to notice each other. Some were amazed, confused, or just plain glad to see each other. They also noticed that everything turned white again, a sight they never saw in twenty years.

Nami was the most excited because even twenty years won't cause her to forget her Luffy who wanted to help them feel ready for his domain "It has to be honey…he is letting us return to the New World!" The Strawhats, Sanji epically, were at first confused by Nami calling their captain 'honey' but they couldn't argue that they can finally come back to the Sunny; it is their home.

When the whiteness shown color, they were indeed on the Sunny; the pirates were excited when something came out of the blue "What if Luffy aged twenty years as well as us!?" They were about to panic when the same Pirate King appeared in front of the cabins, on the rails, exactly the same they last saw him! This confused some, yet another some were happy to see Luffy again and the others were just trying to hold in something rather badly. The captain signed "some things never change."

While Nami and Chopper hugged their captain in happiness, they remembered that they were close to naked so they kindly asked for clothes which Luffy never said 'no' to (Even though Sanji and Brook said yes). The captain reached for his back and out the blue came clothes gliding on the air right at the pirates; with a 'puff' the pirates were wearing their new clothes which fit perfectly with their older bodies. It was like Luffy took lessons on how to make clothes from Nami just in time for their return. They were just glad to be home.

Out of that excitement yesterday, the Strawhats finally gotten a nights rest after spending twenty years in the wild; little did they suspect that tomorrow will bring another person from the past that has missed them, the captain and the first mate that is. When the pirates woke up to get breakfast, they never thought that Kaya, Merry, Hook (the man that first greeted the senior Strawhats on the Sunny after so many years) and the 'Usopp Pirates' never even grew a hair during supposedly their 'twenty year' absence. It was explained later;

"So, that power made time move as fast as twenty years to us…while only twenty hours had passed on the Sunny," Usopp and Chopper were wright down notes as their captain explained that it was out of the innumerable amount of unworldly abilities that lie in the New World; Nami seemed to be impressed that the Misfit Duo (Usopp and Chopper) really want to learn then they started to enjoy their breakfast, she learned to be patience with those two and also began to eat her meal (once again, Luffy shared his meal since her first dish still left her hungry).

After their meal, Luffy blinked

"Oh, guys…" the pirates began to listen "we had a guest stay over who wanted to meet Zoro." Aside from a blushing Zoro, Sanji reacted to the news with a temper while Robin was down which made Zoro feel guilty for some reason he can't defy when an adult woman came in through the other door that Zoro recognized on sight while the rest of the pirates were confused (easy to tell),

"You are that girl from the town that axe freak captain (Morgan) ruled over!"

Everyone seemed to have heard about Morgan and that he did treat his men and townspeople like trash but that was just it. The woman was glad that Zoro recognized her after how much she changed,

"Yes, I am Rika whom you saved from those dogs sent by that Helmeppo." Rika responded as correctly; she was a woman in her twenties and she was wearing a modern girl's clothes. She then turned to Luffy which made Nami growl yet Rika still smiled,

"The one clutching you will be your girlfriend, Nami?" That made Luffy blush and Nami calmed down and nodded; Rika shook her hand explaining that she is just grateful to Luffy for saving her town from Morgan.

After everyone introduced each other to Rika and vice versa, Luffy said that they are going to where Rika's husband (which sank Sanji's heart once again, Zoro to grin at, and Nami and Robin to feel relived) works at since the two meant to see each other for a while and because Luffy knows him as well as he allowed Rika to travel with them (she feels safe because Luffy calls her his friend).

A few days later, the Strawhats decided to practice what their training in their wild element had taught them; Ex. Nami had sharpen her weather senses and gotten close to control the weather itself and Sanji had learned Moon Walk, Tempest Kick, and Razor from the Six Powers that CP9 used and fashioned them into his design. Luffy even spared with them to further test their skill, they always lost to their captain's speed and strength but that was okay since it was proof that their captain can beat what they can't like he always wanted to.

Zoro and Robin, out of the Strawhats training, were the closest together because since they were told that they to be married one day in the distant future so they gave it a try; Nami was the one who missed Luffy the most because she liked to be around him and that she was his boyfriend. When they got back however, Nami felt like she wanted to be alone while thinking of her boyfriend. Luffy himself was also worried about Nami so he found her leaning on the rails and sat next to her, which she blushed at;

"Nami…" Luffy began while turning to his girlfriend "I hope I can understand what is on your mind." Nami was thinking about Rika, whom she never was told of beforehand, and why she has an uneasy feeling about carrying an unknown woman to who-knows-where.

"Luffy," Nami finally spoke "Who is Rika's husband?"

Luffy thought about it for a moment than "It's tough to say Nami," Nami was really confused

"Why is it so hard just to say a man's name…?"

"Coby…" Nami's thoughts were interrupted by Luffy who finally said Rika's husband, "Coby is Rika's husband Nami."

Nami remembered that Coby was Luffy's friend from the East Blue and she met him personally when he and (Helmeppo was it? He-he) came to Water Seven when they finally found Luffy. But still, she was wondering why the Strawhats are having Rika on board when she could be back in the East Blue or with her husband. Then Luffy broke the silence seemly to have lost his calm,

"Coby is also a Navy Admiral and we are going to Headquarters." Luffy said straightly with a silence until,

"WHAATT?"

End of Chapter 14

*Hello everyone! Here is a new chapter of the New Strawhats! I was thought that Rika and Coby would be a cute pair and that they are popular in the navy after the two year break between parts of the series. Tell me what do you think and have a nice day!*
