"Who's the most beautiful woman to sail the seas?"
"Depends on who you ask. You ask most people and it's Boa Hancock. Ask Luffy though and it'll always be-"
"Brulee of course!" Luffy said cutting off Usopp and nuzzling his wife's neck while she blushed.
"I'm…I'm not…" Brulee tried to deny through her blush and stammering.
"You always are to me!" Luffy said and Katakuri was glaring at him but it did soften up a bit at seeing how much Luffy seemed to adore the taller mans favorite sister.
"Alvida demanded of Coby after she found him, Luffy, and Brulee snacking in the storeroom and heard Coby say he wanted to be a marine to catch pirates like Alvida.
"That's a woman?" Brulee asked surprised and making Luffy laugh at the look on Alvida's face."
"Look, Luffy was not kidding when he called her a walking and talking whale." Brulee said and those from East Blue nodded their heads in agreement, recalling her bounty picture.
"Man even my mom looked better as a young woman than you do." Brulee said making Luffy snort slightly and hug Brulee close.
"Well if she looked anything like you do then I don't doubt it." Luffy said making Brulee blush again.
"I don't look that good idiot." Brulee said looking away, having seen pictures of her mother back when her mother had been her age."
"Yeah I was beautiful when I was younger." Big Mom said recalling those years with fondness.
"Brulee looks better." Luffy wasted no time in saying, making his wife blush and elbow him slightly.
"Nah… you look better." Luffy said grinning and making Brulee blush harder, both of them missed Coby yelling about Alvida being a fat whale since they honestly didn't care much. What they didn't miss was Alvida moving to slam her mace down on Coby's head, which made Luffy grin as he got right in the way."
"The look on her face was funny." Luffy said with a snicker while Brulee nodded her head in agreement.
"Huh that lasted longer than I thought." Brulee said amused as Alvida grinned at Coby in a way that promised pain.
"Huh?" Both pirate and coward were confused only for Brulee to point at the mace.
"The mace lasted longer than I thought it would." Brulee said and almost as soon as the words were out of her mouth did the mace shatter, causing Alvida to step backwards in horror and shock."
"I'm Rubber! Blunt damage does nothing!" Luffy said grinning wickedly at that and making a few of the bigger Charlotte siblings glare jealously at Brulee who blushed a bit but grinned.
"Try going for a swim, might help you lose a few pounds. Gum Gum Pistol!" Luffy said slamming his fist into Alvida's stomach and sending her flying.
"Now come on. Let's get to Shells Town." Luffy said grinning as they got into a boat, although Brulee was distracted by the mirror in her possession talking.
"Lady Brulee! We need you back here, your mother has called for a family meeting in two days time."
"Ah probably the Tea Party." Amande said tilting her head slightly as she tried to think of when this would have been for them.
"Diesel said from within the mirror world where he worked as the go between for Brulee and her family. He stayed in the mirror world and as soon as one of the mirrors alerted him to Brulee being needed for something or one of her siblings about to go look for her, he ran for the mirror in her possession."
"Yeah he was indispensable during the whole stealth part of that, he's pretty indispensable now for if you all need me for something." Brulee said nodding to her family who nodded slowly in understanding.
"And I'd need at least one day of rest after traveling so far via my mirrors. Alright I'll be there soon." Brulee said frowning as she turned to look at Luffy who stretched up to kiss her.
"Go ahead dear. I know you need to keep them from knowing the truth until the time is right. I'll let you know if Zoro remembers or not when you are able to come back." Luffy said making Brulee smile and kiss him back before she began to sink into a mirror, which stunned and scared the others watching."
"Devil Fruits are pretty rare in the East Blue…so they probably considered her the reincarnation of that woman in the old legend. Bloody Mary. Since she probably had the powers of the Mirror fruit before Brulee did." Nami said glancing at the older woman who smirked as she recalled hearing about those legends.
"What?" Coby asked gaping as Luffy picked up the mirror she left behind and smiled at it.
"She ate the Mirror-Mirror Fruit so she's a mirror woman." Luffy said as if that explained everything as he grabbed Coby and dropped into a skiff so that the Marines didn't catch them.
"Come on. The nearest town is Shells Town so let's go."
_^#%^%$^Time Skip#$ #$ #$"
"Well skipping some time, mostly just plain uninteresting traveling, makes sense otherwise we'd be here for weeks or years." Robin said shrugging at hearing that there was a time skip.
"Hey Zoro are you still alive?" Luffy called over the wall as he stretched up to look at his first mate and swordsman whose head shot up to meet him."
"Can you imagine how confused he might have been if he didn't have his memories?" Franky asked with a grin and making the others snicker while the East Blue natives didn't look bothered.
"Zoro was rather infamous in the East Blue so other people knowing his name wouldn't be a surprise." Usopp spoke up glancing at the swordsman who shrugged, he had been and he knew it.
"Yeah and since he was hung up on that cross for almost three weeks at that point with no food or water then someone checking if he was still alive wouldn't be too out there." Luffy said and more than a few people looked at Zoro in confusion and disbelief at hearing this.
"Luffy knew it was his Zoro for one really particular reason…his left eye was gone."
"My eye isn't gone. I just keep it closed most of the time." Zoro said but didn't open his eye to prove it. He only opened his left eye whenever he needed to.
"Aye Captain." Zoro said smirking as he noticed that it was his Luffy that was now jumping over the wall. Hard to mistake that large scar over his chest after all."
"Yeah that scar really does stand out." Smoothie said eyeing the burnt X on Luffy's muscular chest.
"Great! It'd suck for the Worlds Greatest Swordsman to be killed here in the Weakest Sea after all." Luffy said grinning at his swordsman who grinned back.
"Same deal as last time? I get your swords and we beat up the idiots before ditching this place before they kill you?" Luffy asked making Zoro nod his head."
"That's how you two met?" Nami asked in disbelief and the two nodded.
"More or less. I made a deal with the spoiled son of the captain of that base. Four weeks no food or water in the sunlight and he wouldn't punish an innocent child and her mother for something I had done. He never planned to keep up his end of the bargain, he had my swords. Luffy got them back and saved my life and then blackmailed me with my own swords into joining his crew." Zoro said with a grin towards Luffy who grinned back.
"You found the so called 'Demon' of the East Blue who was known for killing pirates…and you blackmailed him into being your crewmate?" Nami asked staring at her captain who just grinned widely.
"Yep!" Luffy said as if it weren't a big deal.
"Yep but where's your girl? She couldn't come this far or is she in trouble?" Zoro asked making Luffy give a small shrug of his shoulders.
"Brulee can make the journey but it tires her to cross this much distance. She was called back the other day for a family meeting. She's going to be doing a bit of a ninja thing, keeping an eye on them but still one of us. She still has her tattoo after all."
"What tattoo?!" Katakuri asked although all of the Charlotte siblings and even Big Mom were staring at Brulee who grinned slightly but blushed.
"Luffy said with a grin and making Zoro's eyebrow twitch slightly as he recalled the tattoo's that the couple had gotten.
Brulee had a picture of a monkey wearing a straw hat on her back,"
Brulee stood and turned, pulling up the back of her shirt enough to show the tattoo on her back of a well done fuzzy monkey with a straw hat on its head.
"Luffy had a picture of a mirror on his back with a Crème Brulee on the reflection on his own back."
Luffy stood and took off his vest, earning appreciative noises from the single Charlotte women, to show the well done reflective mirror on his back and the perfectly done Crème Brulee on the surface of the mirror.
"The rest of the crew thought it was hilarious, but the two other women thought it was cute."
"It is!" Robin said smiling softly as she looked at the married couple who sat back down, Luffy stretching so that Brulee could sit in his lap and curl into his chest.
"Well Captain. Let's bust outta here and get something to eat before going to get the others." Zoro said making Luffy nod his head.
"Yeah cause if we have our memories they might have theirs too, and they must be wondering what's taking us so long." Luffy said making Zoro snort slightly at that. He knew he thought the same thing."
"To be fair! Those three weeks seemed a lot longer than they were just because I knew you were on the way." Zoro said and the rest of the Straw Hats rapidly nodded in agreement. They knew that he was coming, so waiting for him was the hardest part.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Zoro asked making Luffy grin and dash off to get the swords.
"So you two know each other?" Coby asked timidly as he began to undo the binds on Zoro's arms.
"Yeah and don't worry about this. I can break free easily." Zoro said and then without explaining anything he waited until the marines were lined up and about to shoot at them."
"Drama queen." Nami coughed into one fist while Sanji and Usopp were snickering as well.
"You sure you want to do that?" Zoro asked his eye flashing slightly as he tensed his arms and broke the ropes pinning him to the cross.
"What the?" A few marines were shocked but the others fired immediately, they were much more scared of Morgan."
"Oh yeah that was the assholes name." Zoro said tilting his head, he had forgotten what that idiots name was.
"Luckily that was when Luffy jumped down with the swords in his arms right in front of the bullets path.
"Oi oi." Luffy tilted his head to the side slightly so that his hat shaded half of his face and gave him quite the scary visage according to his crewmates."
"When you can't see his eyes…that's when you know shit's about to go down. Yohohoho!" Brook said with a laugh but it sent a shiver down everyone's spine.
"The fact that the bullets didn't bother him a bit scared them even more.
What made more than one marine piss himself however was the next words out of Luffy's mouth.
"Whose bright idea was it to shoot at my swordsman?"
"Yeah you can pretty much say what you want to him and he'll laugh it off. You go after his Nakama though…" Usopp said with a small smile towards his captain.
"Of course if you insult our captain around us then you might as well dig your own grave. We'd be happy to put you in it." Jimbe said with a dark grin on his face.
"I may have been called the Devil Child for most of my life already…but anyone who goes after my Nakama will find just how much I am willing to become a Devil for them." Robin said and there was a dark grin on her face while Brook laughed.
"Gave Black Maria-san quite the fright when you proved that you lived up to your title. Yohohohoho!" Brook said and the Charlottes' felt their blood freeze. Black Maria? One of Kaido's top nine crewmates?
"Quite the medical bill as well. After all. She might as well not have limbs. Fufufufu." Robin said with a dark chuckle.
Most of the younger Charlotte siblings shivered and paled and quickly got closer to their older and stronger siblings just to be on the safe side.
The book vanished and reappeared in Brooks hands and he merely laughed.
