"How is he?" Nami asked with worried.
"We manage to remove the bullet with the help of Izo. He's okay now." Chopper answered making all of them relief.
"How worst is the injuries?" Sanji asked.
"Not so worst. Most of it heal properly." Chopper replied.
"Like at Water Seven?" Sanji asked again.

"They totally a chaos." Thatch said making Izo and Namur agreed. Whitebeard just laugh out while Shanks smile.
"He sure have some dependent brother by his side." Shanks said while sipping sake from the sake cup.
"Having a brother like Luffy-ya really is great but I didn't know this two are reckless like him." Law said.
"Try putting them togather on the ship." Izo suggested.
"Owh this ship gonna break apart." Namur said.
"Oyaji, hope you consider yoi. One Ace is more than enough yoi." Marco cross his hand in front of his chest.
"No, he won't join you or any crew." Shanks looked toward the Strawhat crew setting some table on the Moby Dick fondly. A smile plaster on his face.
Whitebeard look at Shanks with wonder. The ex Roger's crew is planting high hope on the Strawhat captain. The brat he know is more mature with the time. He got his own crew now and sailing as one of powerful pirate. When he appear with one missing arm and his signature strawhat while visit for having some drinking season making Whitebeard wonder.

"What are you doing Sanji-ya?" Law looking at Sanji while turning Ace and Sabo back in pieces.
"The shitty captain need something to eat to gain energy for him to heal." Sanji answered.
"He's unconscious and we can use the IV drop at the infirmary to let some nutrient into his body." Izo replied.
Chopper in his human transform mode run toward Sanji while carrying Luffy. He put Luffy on the chair gently. Ace and Sabo stand beside Law and still thinking what the crew doing. Luffy snoring peacefully while sitting on the chair. Suddenly his hand move toward the food on the table and he begin to eat the food while his sleeping. This action making them shocked.
"He's eating while sleeping?!" Thatch yelled with surprise.
"It seem that the shitty captain invented it while we were at Water Seven." Sanji answered while putting another food on the table and clearing the empty plate beside him.
"Hahaha... It's Lu you talking about." Sabo laughed out with Ace.
"Hahaha... I didn't expect this from Anchor." Shanks laughed happily. Ben smirking while Yassop and Lucky joining Shanks laughing.
"Oyaji, let us prepare a feast." Thatch also joining the two brother laughing with Luffy antics.
Whitebeard approve making other cheers out loud. Shanks tell Lucky to bring some of their sake to Moby Dick. The Strawhat looking at the scenes with a fond smile. They still wonder how their beloved captain connect to the Yonko and be a brother of second command of Whitebeard and Revolutionary. Maybe they heard the story next time. But this time they just go with the flow. As long as their beloved captain is safe, that's all the matter to them.
The sun just rise up making Shanks yawning lazily. It's seem that they party through the night and Luffy still snoring peacefully. He smile looking at him. Ben awake not long before him just smile looking at his captain. He nudge toward Yassop and Lucky. He know the look from his captain. It is time to go.
"It's seem that it time for us to leave." Shanks walking toward Whitebeard and Marco standing beside him. Ben, Yassop and Lucky standing behind Shanks as usual.
"Don't you want to wait for him to awake, brat?" Whitebeard crocked one of his eyebrow. Marco also wonder even with his bored expression.
"We make a promise and he always keep his promise." Shanks answered.
"What promise?" Sabo asked while Ace and Law standing beside him. The other Strawhats also waiting for the answer after they all awake a few minute ago.
"Just tell him I will waiting." Shanks replied and walking away toward their own ship and continue sailing. The Whitebeard, the Brothers, the Revolutionary and the Strawhats just look toward the Red Hair Pirates ship sailing away from them with a lot of question on their mine.
"Meat~" a mumble from Luffy making them turned toward him.
Luffy open up his eyes slowly. The bright light hurting his eyes but he manage to open his eyes and saw a bunch of people looking at him with relief. Then he spotted Ace, Sabo and Law together. Without a warning, he flung himself toward them and wrapping the three brother in his rubber arms hugging them dearly.
"Ace! Sabo! Torao!" Luffy yelled with excitement while other pity for the three brother being hug tightly in Luffy arms.
"You should let them go now Luffy or they gonna get chocked." Zoro sighed. Luffy turned his head backward when Zoro talking behind him. The other just cringe looking at the scenes.
"Zoro! Minna!!!" Luffy yelled out and released his brother while looking around excited.
"Where are we? This isn't Sunny." Luffy calmed down and still wonder where he really are. Yes he saw his brother and his nakama but the feeling he feel right now is different. He look toward a big man that sitting on the chair while Marco standing beside him. The feeling come from him. He suddenly walk toward Whitebeard making others tense up. He stop a few feet from Whitebeard and stare at him. Whitebeard stare back at Luffy with wonder. A teen that can sense his little haki that he released earlier making him wonder.

"Ossan..." a serious tone from Luffy alarming the Strawhats and the other especially the three brothers.
"Can you poop?" he asked making all of people on the deck dead silent. They all shocking out.

"He even asked me that when we first time meet." Jimbei walk toward Ace after he giving up restraint Nami from beating up Luffy while beating Zoro and Sanji at the same time. He amaze how the monster trio got beat up easily by their navigator.
"I think this is usual thing they done?" Sabo looking at the beaten monster trio.
"I already get use to it." Jimbei said laughing out. Sabo, Ace and Law smile fondly.
"Yosh! I made my mind!" Luffy shouted suddenly making all of them look toward him. Zoro stare at Luffy and smile. He know what Luffy try to said after this.
"What is it?" Sanji asked while puff out smoke. Zoro still smirking making Nami alarm.
