This is the longest chapter I've written for this story. I hope you all like this. But I do warn you to have an extra scoop of patience with how Luffy is and her slow brain. This is the last chapter for the first meeting of the Whitebeard and Luffy and her crew but don't worry this will not be the last chapter of the story. Luffy is still not done in breaking the sanity of the poor Whitebeard pirates.
MariposaLyshan - Aww that is so sweet. Thank you! I know that feeling. I also check fanfic for updates for all the fanfics I follow. I hope you enjoy this chapter as well.

After that brief threat, everyone started eating and celebrating the newly free Luffy from the marines. But this time, instead of Luffy bothering Ace, all the strawhats kept the girl occupied so that Luffy can't even give Ace a single glance.
"Stupid Luffy." Ace grumbled as he took a big bite from his meat
"Awwww, is our little Acey jealous" Vista asked sitting beside Ace
"Why would I be jealous?" Ace almost yelled glaring at Vista who is laughing "I don't care about that stupid cute face."
"Really now?" Vista asked amused "Even if she's now dancing with Thatch?"
Ace snapped his head towards him so fast that he could hear his bone crack, "WHAT!" His whole body turns to flame as he looked around only to find Luffy happily eating meat with Robin
Vista roared in laughter together with a few brothers who heard the conversation "Not jealous at all." Namur snickered
"There is nothing to be embarrass about liking someone, Ace." Haruta said as he sat beside Ace
"I don't like guys!" He yelled which earned a blank look from Haruta
"She is clearly a girl. Stop lying to yourself Ace."
Ace stopped and glared at the ground
"You deserve to be happy Ace. If the kid really likes you and you like her back, why not give it a chance?" Haruta asked
"I don't deserve happiness. I don't even deserve to be alive." Ace whispered
Whitebeard and Marco frowned when they heard Ace proclamation
"She'll not be in danger because of you, yoi. The kid wants to be a pirate." Marco said trying to lighten the boy's mood
Ace snorted "Yeah a start up pirate in a small crew."
Marco looked at him like he's the most stupid person on the entire universe (maybe he is) "You don't know the news about strawhats, yoi?"
"No?" Ace said unsure. He heard a few news about the small crew but he do not a hundred percent believe it to be true.
"Garararara that small crew is famous for their crazy antics."
Vista nodded in agreement "Their captain was a total crazy bastard!"
"Declaring war left and right, then punching a fucking celestial dragon then disappearing for 2 years!"
Ace gave a small smile still watching the small group party. It was a favorite past time, reading news about the small crew on how they rock the whole world. His eyes then land on the girl who is laughing happily as she and Nami danced "Yeah but she just clearly a newly joined. We actually still don't know if she's a member or just a friend."
"But, where is their captain?" Haruta asked looking around for a missing captain "They said we'll meet him after Luffy comes back."
"Garaararar I guess its time to meet the ever elusive strawhat captain." Whitebeard announce as he looks at the crew. "Strawhats, I think its time for you to introduce your captain to us."
The strawhats stopped what they're doing, looked at each other and grinned in excitement.
Out of the corner of their eyes, they saw hands sprout out of nowhere to fix the still standing camera everywhere.
Robin chuckled as they stood up and walk towards Whitebeard. "I'm sorry Whitebeard-san, we forgot to introduce ourselves because of all this excitement."
They all lined up. Everyone was now watching them with amusement.
"Zoro, the swordsman and first mate."
"Nami, navigator"
"Ussop, the bravest warrior of the sea! And the bestest snipper!"
"Sanji, the cook for Nami-swan, Robin-swan, and Luffy-swan!" Sanji said doing his noodle dance and hearts for eyes
"Chopper the doctor. ("How can a tanuki be a doctor?") I'm a reindeer asshole!"
"Robin, archeologists of the strawhats."
"Franky! The SUPEER shipwright."
"Brooke, the musician. Yohohohoho"
"Yo, I'm Luffy!" Luffy grinned making all the strawhats (excepta Robin) facepalm
"Yeah great and all, so where is your crazy captain?" Thatch asked
"Luffy you're not a marine anymore. You don't have to keep it a secret anymore." Luffy looked at her in confusion. Nami and everyone of the strawhats grinned "You can go all out now."
Luffy's eye widen in realization as a huge D smile spread her face. She lift her hand to her head and pouted "But my hat. How can I be a pirate without a hat?"
Everyone raised a brow at that
"We made a rule that Luffy will not mention being a pirate without her hat." Sanji answered their silent question as he light a cigarette
"Luffy-sis always forget." Franky said
"Luffy is stupid that way." Ussop deadpan
"Here's your hat Luffy." Nami said pulling out (out of nowhere) the straw hat, which earned a few gasp and disbelief from others. Nami place the hat on Luffy's head and grinned at the now equally grinning girl "Go wild."
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy! Captain of the strawhats pirates and the next person to be the Pirate King! Shihihihihihihi" Luffy yelled
"You got to be shitting kidding me." Thatch said still staring at the laughing brat
"Garararararara what an amusing brat!" Whitebeard laughed in complete shock and amusement. Who would have thought that the marine brat his sons will kidnap was a girl pirate captain of the ever elusive strawhats.
"You're the fucking crazy captain!" Haruta yelled
Luffy pouted "I'm not crazy! Its their fault for following us!"
Zoro snorted "We're pirates, Luffy. Marines will always follow us." He deadpanned
"We didn't do anything wrong."
"You fucking declared war with the government in Enies Lobby!" A pirate yelled
Luffy pouted deepened "They took Robin and Franky!" Luffy looked at them in horror "Robin even cried! How dare they make Robin cry."
"It was SUPPER cool adventure!" Franky proclaim
Robin smiled softly "Thank you Luffy-chan." She looked back at the other pirates rather proud (possessive) look at the declaration "Luffy-chan doesn't like it when we cry."
"Punched a celestial dragon!" Another shouted
"They were going to sell Camie! And they shot Hatchi!" Luffy defended
"You were the ones to release all those prisoners from Impel Down!"
Nami glared at Luffy at that. They did not know that. "Luffy?"
Luffy paled as she looked at Nami "But they're nakama!"
Nami sighed in defeat "What are we going to do to you Luffy." She rubbed her temple in annoyance "Trouble after trouble."
"Wasn't it enough that you challenge a yonko right before entering the New World. But now we are challenging a different yonko." Ussop deflated "Its still a miracle how we are still alive."
"Maybe this is a figment of your imagination Usop-kun, and were already dead and decaying underground." Robin commented with delight
"Robin! Please stop this morbid comments!" Ussop yelled
"Yohohohoho but I am already dead and my fresh and blood decayed a long time ago." Brooke commented earning a giggle from Robin and a frighten scream from Ussop and Chopper
"What is wrong with you two?" Ussop cried
"You challenged a yonko?" Ace asked interested in the topic
Sanji gave him a blank look "Oh you didn't know?" It wasn't accusing but clearly confusion on how they didn't know
"Pops had a trouble with a traitor for the past few months." Jimbe answered earning a nod from the strawhats
"It happened in fishman island." Zoro answered
"They saved the royal family." Jimbe continued
"Gararararara so you're the pirate heroes that saved the fishman island."
"Eh? Saved? Heroes? Were not heroes! Were pirates!"
"But aren't you a marine?" Thatsch asked
"That's why I don't want to be a hero!"
"Why?" Vista asked
"Because a hero will share meat-"
"-and sake." Zoro added
"-with other people! I don't want that. I want to eat all the meat and Zoro want to drink all the sake! And we want to keep all the treasure!"
Everyone laughed at the reason while the strawhats (except Zoro and Nami who nodded in agreement) sweat dropped
"Garararara then how did you manage to challenge a yonko after saving the fishman island?"
Dark aura enveloped Nami "The stupid captain gave away the MY treasures to Big Mom in exchange for all the candies that will not be shipped because of the ruined factory!" She glared at Luffy who hide behind Zoro
"Fufufufu then Lu-chan stole the den den mushi call from Big Mom's spy and challenged her."
"Now we have a angry yonko on our tail. Yohohohoho"
"We're not even in New World for a month." Ussop cried
"Then who is this other yonko you're challenging?" Marco asked eyeing each and every strawhats "Is it pops?"
"Why would I challenge banana mustache ossan?" Luffy asked tilting her head
A tick mark appeared on Nami's head as she smacked Luffy "Stop creating weird nicknames for people!"
"Ouchie." Luffy pouted
"Don't you know him Lu-chan?" Robin asked
Luffy looked back at Whitbeard and back to Robin "He is Ace's captain."
"Luffy do you know what yonkos are?" Zoro asked
Luffy nodded "Yeah, the strong pirates!"
"You do know who are the yonkos right?" Chopper asked earning a confused looked from Luffy
"Really?" Luffy asked tilting her head to the side
"LUFFY SHANKS IS A YONKO! YOU SAID YOU KNOW SHANKS!" Ussop yelled clearly done with this conversation
"You know Shanks?" Someone yelled but was ignored by the strawhats. I mean they couldn't blame them. Luffy is too much to handle as she is.
"Yeah of course I do! Shihihihi" Then as soon as realization hit her, her eyes grew wider and stars form in her eyes "Shanks a yonko? Cool! I knew it Shanks is so cool and strong!" Then she frowned "Why didn't Shanks told me? Stupid Shanks."
Ussop sighed in defeat and gave Robin a blank look "You know what. Maybe we really are dead. We couldn't survive everything we went through with a stupid captain like Luffy."
"Luffy-sis you know that Big Mom's a yonko right?" Franky asked again
"Really?"
"And you challenged her right before entering New World. Yohohohoho."
"But she was going to attack fishman island!" Luffy pouted
"So you told her to be angry at you instead?" Thatch asked in disbelief. Not yet sure if Luffy is really brave or just really stupid
"Yeah! Fishman people didn't do anything wrong!" Luffy said earning a smile from Namur and Jimbe.
"And Lu-chan, Whitebeard-san is also a Yonko like Shanks and Big Mom." Robin said
Stars are back on her eyes as she stare at Whitebeard "Really! That is so cool!"
"So are you challenging pops?" Ace asked
"Why would I?"
"Because he's a yonko!" Izo yelled "This conversation is going no where!"
Luffy stared again at Whitebeard and shook her head "No. Toroa nii-chan said were going to challenge a big bad man." She looked at Whitebeard again "You're big but you're okay." She hold her chin like as if thinking. Smoke can be seen on her head as she kept on thinking hard. "Toroa nii-chan said that his name was, Kedo? Kaimo? Kapo?"
"Its Kaido, Luffy." Zoro corrected
"WHAT!" Everyone shouted
"Garararararara cheeky brat! Not a month in New World and you're challenging two yonkos!"
"Toroa nii-chan said he needed my help."
"This Toroa doesn't like a good influence on you Luffy." Ace deadpan
"Luffy-chan." Jimbe said earning her attention "Weren't you a marine?" She nodded "Then why didn't you know who the yonkos are?"
"I fell asleep every meeting." Luffy proudly said
"How can you fall asleep in an important meetings?"
"Does she have narcolepsy like Ace?"
Someone snickered "Match-made in heaven."
"Do you mean hell?"
A moment of silence before everyone said with a yes.
"Shihihihihi you should see Grampa in those meetings! He would also fall asleep faster than me."
Nami groaned "Luffy why is everybody in you family bad influence!"
"Shihihihi you haven't even met Daddy and Bo nii-chan! Koala nee-chan said they're the worst influence for a person."
"I don't think I ever want to know why." Ussop said
"Oh yeah! Where is Toroa nii-chan?" Luffy asked looking around
"We'll meet Toroa along the way to Dressrosa. He's keeping Ceasar captive." Sanji answered
"Yohohohoho you should have seen how angry Toroa-san is!"
"He wanted to go straight to Impel Down the moment we heard the news." Zoro said
"He will be very angry at you for disappearing on us." Robin said
"But its not my fault for being kidnapped!" Luffy defended
"You always get kidnapped Luffy-sis." Franky deadpan
"Yohohohoho we'll be more surprised if you're not kidnapped for a whole month."
"That is common for you guys?" Marco asked
A collective sigh was heard "It's the most sanest adventure for us. Looking for the kidnapped Luffy."
"It become a game now. The first one to find Luffy gets to order her around for a day."
"A day? Isn't that too small for the trouble?"
"We tried it for a week. But the next day of getting her back, she was kidnapped again." Ussop said
"Who would even tried to kidnap a pirate?" Haruta asked
"Pirates."
"Bounty hunters."
"Slave traders."
"Perverts."
"Admirers."
"Her shitty Grampa."
"Heck, even animals kidnapped Luffy! But its more of because they want to eat her."
A look of pity was given to the young pirates "You have our respect yoi." Marco said
Thatch laughed slapping the back of Ace "You have a lot of work on your hands Ace!"
Nami gave a devil's smile "Oh if you thought handling Luffy is the worst for you. You are wrong."
"Handling Luffy for us is the worst, but not for you Mr. I-will-marry-Luffy."
"I never agreed to that!" Ace yelled
"Fufuffufu but we haven't heard you refuse." Ace shut his mouth and looked away blushing
"The worse you'll handle are the people who are under Luffy's innocent spell?"
Marco raised a brow "Spell?"
"Oh you haven't notice?" Nami challenged which made everyone tense. Have they been put under a dangerous spell?
"You're already wrapped around little Luffy's innocent spell."
"Its the little voice in your head that tells you to protect Luffy from everyone, especially perverts."
"Its too late to escape. Yohohohoho"
"Believe us when we say we tried and failed." Nami said
"And who are this other people yoi?"
"Not too much now since the world thinks Luffy is a boy." Robin said
"Well except Sanji." Ussop added
"And probably Toroa." Chopeer nodded "He's the biggest threat right now for you." He looked at Ace
"Toroa?" Izo asked
"Surgeon of Death, Traffalagar D. Law."
"How do you even associate with that creep!" Ace asked
"We really don't know Ace-bro, he asked for alliance with us to kidnapped Ceasar then Luffy bugged him to death. But the next thing we know Luffy-sis is calling him brother and Toroa-bro is letting her."
"Then now they're adopted siblings." Chopper added
"If he's going to show on this ship. Its not as a pirate but a big brother with a huge sister complex. Fufufufufu"
"Don't hold it too much against him. Yohohohoho"
"But we do suggest you to train SUPPER hard!" Franky said
"Why? I'm not that weak to be defeated by some up start pirate!"
"Fufufufufu. Its only one upstart pirate now. But once the world knew Luffy-chan is a girl, all the people under her spell will be 2x more protective."
"Imagine her Grampa, he's so protective to Luffy as a boy. What if he knew Luffy is a girl all along."
Ace paled at the mention of 'Grampa'.
"We'll give you a list next time. Fufufufufuf"
"Wait so your Grampa doesn't know you're a girl?"
"Nope! Daddy said its for the best!"
"Truly! I can imagine him setting up marriage candidate left and right." Ussop said
"Smoker-kun will be on the first list Fufufufufu"
"Smoker?"
"He's been on our tail since Logue Town." Name answered "He followed us to the grand line and to the New World."
"You might have a competition Ace-kun. Fufufufufuf"
"So train hard, alright?" Nami cheered
"We still don't approve of you, but as a thanks we really suggest you to train hard." Zoro added
"We pray for your soul."
"We don't believe that any secrets will be kept now that Luffy will go wild."
"Luffy we need to go now! Toroa might destroy the island if we keep him waiting!"
"Alright! Shihihihihi" Luffy nodded as she run toward Ace giving the shocked man a hug "I'll miss you Ace! Don't forget about me alright? Don't get captured again! I'll still marry you in the future! Shihihihihi" and gave the boy a sloppy kiss on the lips
"Luffy!" Nami yelled pulling the now laughing Luffy away from the blushing, frozen, Ace. "You cannot just kiss anyone!"
"But Makino said I can kiss my husband!"
"That is after the wedding! Idiot!" Nami yelled
"My sweet innocent Luffy-swan."
"See you later Ace! Mango! Banana mustache ossan!" She waved as Nami pulled her away but stopped in front of Jimbe "Jimbe, I still want you to join my crew."
"As I've told you before, Luffy-chan. I still have other duties."
Luffy grinned "Then we're just going to steal you from that old lady! Shihihihihi"
Nami smacked her head "Luffy stop declaring war with Big Mom again!"
"But she already hates us, what is stealing a pirate under her?"
"That is really a very logical question." Ussop deadpan
"See you Ace! I love you!" Luffy yelled as their ship sailed away
"WHAT THE FUCK!" Ace yelled before falling on the floor
"Is he asleep?"
"Maybe his brain shut down already?"
"I wouldn't be surprise if he just died from all the shock we're told."
"But Ace you lucky bastard!" Thatch said kneeling down beside the fallen Ace and poking his cheeks "If I knew that I could have an instant cute fiancé by being thrown in Impel Down, I would have volunteered."
"Garararararara what an interesting day!"
