Shanks comes back to Foosha a year after the Higuma incident. He finds Luffy and his brothers beaten to hell, and afraid. Their grandfather did this? Sabo's dad hired an assasin? Oh no. No. No. No. These kids are not staying here. (How Shanks and Benn adopted Luffy, Sabo, and Ace, and their lives in the aftermath.)

Luffy is a slave working in a castle. When one of the masters, Zoro, finally approaches him, romance ensues. But how long can Luffy and his family stay after what Master has done? What will happen next? T for mild sexual content and violence.

A stop on the way to Raftel. (Set at random point in the future before a confrontation with Blackbeard.)
