"So you're going to sail with us from here?" Zoro asked looking at his Queen who nodded her head as her loyal servants ran around making sure the boat was in tip top shape and that her things were loaded aboard."
"They didn't have to do that since we could do it ourselves." Sanji pointed out as he lit another cigarette.
"They're overprotective."
"Yes. I want to be there for the rest of the adventures…besides…I'm not stupid enough to think you lot wouldn't follow me if I tried to leave. You all are very overprotective."
"Damn right we'd follow her." Zoro said with a grin.
"Amande said more amused than anything as she sat on one of the lawn chairs and Sanji hurriedly brought out a smoothie for her. He looked alarmed when her face turned greener than normal and she hurriedly dashed to the side of the boat to hurl up her lunch.
"Sorry Sanji-san…strawberries…seem to help set off my morning sickness." Amande apologized as Luffy rubbed her back, Usopp solved the problem by taking the strawberry smoothie and giving it to one of Amande's servants and told him to drink it.
Seeing what the smell of strawberries had done to his Mistress, he hurriedly drank it down then went to wash the dish and his mouth out so that there was no more lingering strawberry scent."
"Even the scent of strawberries set her off." Usopp said shaking his head as he remembered that.
"We landed on an island that grew strawberries when she was about five months along and she couldn't even step on the island without getting sick." Nami said wincing as she remembered that.
"Last time it was blackberries and peanuts that set you off." Luffy said stretching out so that Amande could recline against him while Sanji hurriedly went to make a different smoothie and hand all of the strawberries on board over to Amande's servants."
"Every pregnancy is different." The Charlotte women said without missing a beat.
"Each pregnancy is different. I know that much just from watching my mother have my younger siblings." Amande said resting her head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around her while Pixie quickly brought her mother a glass of water.
"Mommy sick?" Pixie asked making Amande smile as she pulled her daughter into her lap.
"No sweetheart. The baby just doesn't like strawberries. Mommy is fine." Amande reassured her daughter who snuggled close and placed her ear to her mothers stomach."
"We made mommy sick?" Linlin asked looking at her older sister who nodded.
"Yeah but you didn't mean to. Just like how new baby brother makes mama sick around bananas." Pixie said and the Straw Hats frowned as they exchanged confused looks. Baby brother? She could already sense her sibling inside of her mother?
"Time to set sail for the Reverse Mountain!" Nami said snapping off orders immediately to everyone except for the small family as Luffy bodily lifted his wife and settled her on the lawn chair, Pixie curled up on top of her mother and Luffy quickly laying down beside Amande and holding her close.
"If you want we can drop you off at the first island on the Grandline and you all can live out your lives however you wish away from Mama's 'tax' and tyranny." Amande spoke looking at her servants who were running around helping or hovering over her worriedly."
"So she did give them the option to leave, peroin."
"I think I speak for all of us Mistress…when I say that we wish to stay where you are. You saved us and we swore ourselves to you and your descendants as gratitude. We can't follow that oath if we aren't here with you and the little mistress." One of the women, a blond woman who was of the long-arm tribe, said smiling at Amande.
"You don't have to serve me." Amande said sweatdropping slightly when all four of the others nodded their heads. Out of the group of five, including the blond Long Arm, there was two Fishmen, One Long Arm, and two who had Devil Fruit powers. She had saved all five when she had single handedly destroyed a slave ship that she found while retrieving an ingredient for her mother."
"Slave Traders. Most hated type of criminals in the world." Compote said sneering slightly and the Straw Hats looked confused.
"I thought Celestial Dragons still existed." Nami said looking confused.
"The Marines are all gone?" Robin asked at the same moment.
There were more than a few snickers at that.
"Don't have too but we still will. No matter what you'll always be our mistress, your husband our master, and your children our young mistresses or masters." One Fishman said with a grin as he helped move the supplies below deck with Zoro and the other fishman.
"Well if you're going to be staying with the crew then you should all line up and tell my husband your names and what you can do. He is the captain after all." Amande said sighing but knowing that no matter what she said and did then they wouldn't betray her. They had all died last time protecting her when she had been pregnant with Pixie after all and they had done it with smiles on their faces."
"They had?" Effiler asked looking at the Straw Hats who gave grim looks.
"We were busy kicking Kaido's crew in the ass when you lot showed up for the final battle to Laugh Tale. One of you-" Here the Straw Hats glared pointedly at Flambe.
"Tried to use a poison blow-dart. Ela took the blow but a few more of you also attacked and while Amande did fight back and all you guys managed to kill the rest of the group before we threw Big Mom into the sea and you all fled." Nami said glaring darkly at them and they winced, aside from a sneering couple of them like Flambe and Daifuku.
"Alright line up you guys!" A rather normal looking woman with red hair, and not orange like Nami's but like blood red, called making the others finish what they were doing and line up in front of the lawn chair.
"Sound off your names and abilities for the Captain." The red head barked at them as she stood at the end of the line up.
"My name's Ela. I'm a Long-Arm obviously, and out of the best of us I'm the best with Observation Haki. I do know a bit of Armament however and I'm mainly a dagger fighter." The blond haired Long Arm said introducing herself and pulling out her two daggers that were sheathed at her hips."
"Which is out of the ordinary because most who are focused on Observation Haki are more long range like snipers." Hachee said glaring at her siblings still for trying to kill Amande, she hoped she hadn't been one of the ones trying to kill her sister.
"I'm Jalon. I'm a Fishman obviously but I'm an Orca Fishman. That means that not only am I ten times stronger than the normal human like all Fishmen, but I can communicate with whales, breath under water and use some Fishman Karate that I taught myself. I'm best at hand to hand fighting and I know Armament Haki, not too good with Observation though." The deep blue skinned Fishman said as he blew some of his shoulder length green hair out of his face.
"I'm Daja. I'm a Hammerhead Shark Fishman, and can do all that normal Fishmen can like breathing underwater and all. I'm pretty good at Fishman Karate and have been trying to teach Jalon but it's been slow going. I'm decent at Armament Haki and Observation Haki and I'm pretty good with a Warhammer. I'm also an experienced rigger-man and can navigate in a pinch." The Fishman with the wider than average head said bowing his head to his new Master."
"Nothing too impressive with them aside from the Fishman Karate." Compote said noting that and the crew said nothing. After all they had been learning under Jimbe.
"Name's Selsa. I'm pretty much your average woman from West Blue, but I was sold into Slavery because of my Zoan fruit. I ate the Snake Snake Zoan model Saw-scaled Viper. Makes me venomous and I can take on a snake form but I'm not as big as say the King Cobra or Anaconda models. Good at Observation Haki and I'm a pretty good spy but when I need a weapon I usually use throwing weapons like needles and throwing stars." The brown-red haired girl said and she didn't really look all that different from any other person…if it weren't for her fangs and her skin which looked like she had an uneven tan at first but was actually scales."
"Which is honestly pretty cool when you think about it."
"Names Bracha. I was a Marine Vice-Admiral until a Celestial Noble saw my Devil Fruit in action and wanted me to be his slave. Marines sold me off without thinking twice. I know Observation and Armament Haki and I'm good with a sword or a gun. I ate the Gin-Gin Logia. So I'm literally made of and can control Silver." The red haired woman said looking annoyed by what the Marines had done even as she held out her arm and dripped some molten hot silver from her body, quickly pulling it back into her body before it could hit and damage the deck."
"Lots of Marines are assholes but a few are good ones."
"I have leadership experience if you need someone to keep people in line and I'm a pretty good prison Warden if we take captives." Bracha said shrugging at the end while Nami's eyes had beli signs in them."
"Nami no!"
"No Nami." Luffy and Amande both spoke without even looking at the navigator who pouted while Pixie giggled at her Aunty Nami's funny actions.
"Nice to meet you all! I'm Monkey D. Luffy, the new Pirate King, and I ate the Gum-Gum Fruit which means I'm made of rubber. You know my wife Monkey Amande, and this is our daughter Monkey Pixie." Luffy said grinning at them all and making them nod back, bowing in respect.
Anyone who got their mistress's respect and love to the point where she carried his name and his child was someone incredibly strong. The fact that he had the new Worlds Greatest Swordsman on his crew only helped that notion."
"Heh. And the Captain can beat me if need be or wants to." Zoro said without shame.
"Oh yeah we need to come up with a name for the new baby don't we Ama?" Luffy asked not looking bothered as Nami barked orders for going up the mountain although they weren't too bothered by it. They had already done this after all.
"Mmm. For a girl how about…Aries? For a boy…I'm thinking Taurus." Amande asked thinking about it for a moment and making Luffy grin as he kissed her cheek."
"Well that obviously didn't happen." Hachee said eyeing her nieces and nephews who decidedly did not have the names Aries and Taurus.
"Any name you decide on is fine with me. You're doing all the hard work after all." Luffy agreed making her smile and lean into him some more until a cry from Ela was heard.
"There's a whale in the way!" Ela yelled sounding worried and making Luffy blink.
"Oh that's Laboon. I'll be right back." Luffy said kissing Amande's cheek again before standing up and moving to the front of the ship."
"Laboon?" Katakuri asked looking curious.
"Mountain whale." Was the short and simple answer.
"Gear Third." Luffy said growing both of his arms to super size, much to the newcomers disbelief, before he pushed Laboon out of the way as gently as he could."
There were a lot of dropped jaws at this.
"…Holy shit." Selsa muttered earning a slow nod of agreement from Daja as the newcomers gaped at their rather slim captain. They knew he was pretty muscular but he certainly didn't look strong enough to just push aside a mountain whale with ease.
"Does anyone else hear that?" Usopp asked tilting his head as he heard something coming from the whale. It sounded familiar.
"Yohohoho. Yohohoho."
"That's Brook!" Luffy said with a grin as his eyes widened. His musician had achieved his dream and kept his promise!"
"Yohohohohoho! Why of course I did my best to get there. I'm just glad I still know how to navigate!"
"The crew members that had been to Raftel all let out a hearty cheer as the whale's mouth opened to show a singing skeleton who was playing the violin.
The newcomers could only stare in disbelief and shock as all of the 'veteran' members began singing Binks Sake right along with the skeleton.
What the hell kind of crew did they join?"
"What…what the fuck?" Even the Charlottes looked so confused and thrown by how the Straw Hats were.
