A modern-day Corabelle AU. Bellemere is a single mother, struggling to provide for herself and her two daughters. Rocinante is a single father of one son, fresh out of law school and attempting to set up his own practice in the tiny coastal town of Cocoyashi. When the two parents meet, they find that they both have similarities–and secrets.

Tashigi encounters someone unexpected in the Loguetown Museum and winds up on an assignment she'd rather not have. The Straw Hats also have to deal with a threat from the navy that they might not be able to handle. Story takes place roughly a decade into the future. (ZoTash centric) (T-rating for slight language)
