The three of them wait outside while Lucky come into the throne room to give the report. A noise from the other corridor making them turned toward it. A bunch of guys and girls with a fishmen talking with each other stop when they see the three of them.
"You all stay here I'll go tell Shanks about this." Yasopp said. He walk pass the Law, Corazon and Luffy with wonder and gone into the throne room.
The Strawhat crew are speechless. The one they search is in front of them. Zoro widen his eyes while Luffy also surprise to see all of them there. A big smile carve on her face. She run toward them happily and without thinking she goes to Zoro first. She stop a few inch and the smile on her face gone.
"Wait! I still mad at you." Luffy said and acting like a spoil child. Her hand cross in front of her chest and pouted. The other member sweat drop. Zoro sighed.
"Luffy..." Zoro said making Luffy look at him.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not believe in you. I'm sorry for interfere. I'm sorry for not follow your order. Will you forgive me?" Zoro apologised sincerely. Luffy owlish eyes look into his.
"I'm sorry for making you worry too. Will you forgive me?" Luffy put her hand at the back and look down.

"Who are you?" Zoro asked with suspicious. Luffy look at her crew. A pride show on her face. She laugh. She walk into the front and smile.
"Silly Zoro. This Torao and papa Cora." Luffy introduced both of the guy in front of them to her crew.
"Can you introduce yourself? Apparently Luffy isn't good at introducing other. She usually give a nickname to someone she care." Nami sighed.
"My name is Law, Trafalgar D Water Law and this is Corazon or his real name is Donquixote Rosinante. Called me Law and his Corazon. It is easier to remember." Law introduced both of them.
"D? Hmm... What a surprise." Robin said making Law look at Robin.
"Hey you never tell me your full name to me." Luffy pouted.
"A person with D is a dangerous person, Lu-ya. I don't want you to be in danger. But when I saw your crew, I believe they can protect you. After all you my little sister. What we do is dangerous you know that right?" Law explained.
"Idiot Law. We all playing more dangerous game here." Luffy said making Law and Corazon surprised. The other strawhat crew looking serious. Luffy walk toward Law with determine.
"Well you heard what she said." Zoro said with a smirked. Law just smile. He know better to argue with Luffy.
Someone open the door making them look at the person. Yasopp told them to come in. They nod. Corazon and Law trailing behind Yasopp. They didn't even notice Luffy didn't trail from behind. After both of them inside they saw Kid and Marco sitting together at the left side while the commander of Whitebeard Kingdom and Killer standing behind them. Shanks and Makino sit on the throne while Benn standing at Shanks side while Lucky Roux standing beside Sirius on Makino side.
"Where the other?" Benn asked making both of them turned toward the closing door behind them.
"I did told them to come in." Yasopp said after he taking his place standing beside Benn.
Luffy look toward her crew. She smile. They have come here with reason. Zoro and the other prepare themselves. All of strawhat member smile with determine. They connect to each other in a unique ways. They more that just a crew, more than just a friend. They united and didn't care where or race their from. To them this group is their family. The one important family they have without any blood related. Luffy put on her strawhat on her head.

A crack door sound making all in the throne room turned toward the door. They saw Zoro and Sanji open wide the door while a guy with a strawhat walk confidently through it while the other trail behind the guy. After open the door, Zoro and Sanji walk to their original position one foot behide Luffy. The audience in the throne room widen their eyes. Shanks surprise but a big smile carve on his face. Yasopp widen his eyes to see his son walking a foot behind Zoro. Thatch gapes to see Sanji beside Luffy. Marco excited to see the Strawhat guy and smile toward Jimbei. Kid feel the strong aura emitted from this group making him alert how strong they can be. On the other hand, Law and Corazon also amaze to see the aura emitted from Luffy group. They never saw feel something like this before. But they can tell this group is strong and dangerous.
"I finally come, Shanks! Shishishi..." Luffy said making Shanks widen his smile. Benn immediately recognised the Strawhat and he smirked.
"As promise, Anchor. You really run havoc all through the kingdom. Dahahaha!" Shanks replied making the other confused.
"You know the king? Why didn't you tell me?" Zoro asked.
"Well duh, I did tell you but you fall asleep." Luffy answered making Zoro lost his word while the other strawhat member just sweat drop.
"Zoro, your in the group?" Kid surprised.
"Yes and this is my captain after all." Zoro answered while patting Luffy head.
"Your not the leader yoi?" Marco surprised. Zoro confession also making the other surprise.
"No. I only take order from Luffy." Zoro replied back making the two prince shock. They knew Zoro won't listen to anyone but this strawhat hat guy can make Zoro listen to him.
"Prince Zoro, never though you with them." Benn stated.
"A Prince?" Law raise his eyebrow.
"He is the Prince of Dragon Kingdom, yoi. Mihawk younger brother, Prince Zoro." Marco explained earning a shock from Corazon and Law.
"You never tell me, Luffy-ya." Law said while glare on his sister.
"Hey, I did tell you. You didn't believe me." Luffy argued and pouted.
"Luffy did tell us but we thought he making up." Corazon confessed.
"Alright then, let's continue our purpose here first. We can argue later on. Your the doctor right and you are Doflamingo brother?" Shanks asked. Both Corazon and Law nod.
"I already heard what my commander report to me and thank you. I'm in debt with you. What can I do for the two of you?" Shanks added.
"We do what we feel it's right for us to do. But the decision only Luffy can make. We follow Luffy on his decision." Law replied making the Strawhat crew surprise.
"Well Anchor what do you want?" Shanks asked.
"I come to take the promise you made to me." Luffy answered.
"What promise?" Kid asked.
"You promise when I can gather enough crew member that I trust, you will tie an alliance with me without any objection." Luffy answered.
"You what? What you thinking making promise like that brother?!" Kid stand up surprise with Shanks decision.
"Sit down Kid. I did promise him that. I'm Shanks, king of the Akagami Kingdom hereby declare from now onward our Kingdom will tie an alliance with Strawhat Pirate and assist them with all we can." Shanks declared.
Marco smile. He stand up making the other wonder. He pull out his sword and point toward Luffy. The other crew member become alarm. They ready their weapon but Luffy stop them.
"He isn't an enemy."Luffy said making the other wonder.
"A wise instinct you have yoi. Come foward. " Marco said. Luffy walk toward Marco and stop at his pointing sword blade. Marco put the sword back into the sword cover and hand it over to Luffy.
"I, Marco Newgate. In the place of my father King Whitebeard give this sword as a proof for tying an alliances with the Strawhat Pirates and assist them with all we can." Marco declared.
Declaration from Marco making other totally shocked. They never expect Marco will come into this conclusion. Shanks grind widely. Luffy accept with a big smile.
