As always thanks so much for the reviews Hope you enjoy! Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

Upon arriving at the Whale Forest, the Straw Hats were once again greeted by a crowd of Minks shouting 'Garchu'.

"I'm glade to see you! Our savior and their friends!

Luffy stood up and looked around.

"Let me say it once again. Thank you!"

"Who is this?!" Luffy asked turning around.

"Sorry for my subordinates' action in the forest," said a jaguar minks who was standing on a tree branch above the Straw Hats. "They were to wary of invaders," he added before jumping down, now standing in front of the Crocky Luffy was on.

"Were you there?" Luffy asked not remembering him from before.

"Yes, I was up in a tree. Bepo and the others are waiting for you-game guys back there," Pedro informed.

Luffy jumped down from Crocky. "We can see them later," he replied placing his hand on his hips. "We wanna see Nekomamushi and the Lion Mink, Pekomamushi... The lion first."

"Garchu!" He said pressing his cheek to Luffy's. Without moving he began to quietly explain the situation, "If you're talking about Pekoms, you're in luck, he's awake now. He's in the building at the back. We've kept the whole incident secret from everybody. Sanji is a nice guy. I hope we can help you in some way."

"Luffy! I'm worried about Nekomamushi so I'll be going on ahead to see him first."

"Okay!"

"Then let me lead the way Doctor Chopper," said a reindeer mink as she nuzzled his cheek.

Chopper's eyes widened. He jumped forward before turning around and stumbling backwards. He tripped and rolled backwards. Getting a better look at the girl, his eyes turned to hearts as he froze stiff.

"Hey, Chopper! Why are you frozen all the sudden," Usopp asked standing next to the girl.

"I-I-I'm not frozen."

"You're acting strange," he said leaning forward.

Pink sparkles seemed to appear, arching over the blue-nosed reindeer's head lick a rainbow as his heart eyes began to glow.

"It's this way," the girl smiled.

"O-okay!"

Nekomamushi is taking a bath now."

"O-oka~ Huh! A BATH?!"

Robin, Usopp, and Brook went with Chopper while Nami and Zorry went with Luffy. (I'll add Franky once I figure out we're he's actually at because I don't remember and I haven't seen him in the mange or anime in these two scenes nor heard him so we'll be getting back to that.)

"WOULD YOU TWO SHUT UP! I GET HIS FOOD IS GOOD BUT NEVER GETTING TO EAT IT AGAIN IS NOT WHAT'S IMPORTANT HEAR!" Law said, finally having enough of Shachi and Penguin whining.

"C-captain... You've been rather tense since you got here... Not to mention your decision to go with the Straw Hats... You haven't been yourself...," Bepo said concerned for his captain. "Why dose this have you so on edge and touchy? It isn't like Black Leg's on our crew... Why's it got you so... worried?"

"Yeah...," Shachi said turning to the two. "I get that we're allies... but for you to go as far to say that you're going with Straw Hat to save him... That's unlike you..."

"Not to mention the fact that you actually started crying over it...," Penguin added. "That's really unlike you."

Law sighed, "Alright... I guess I should probably tell you too... I have to tell the Straw Hats now anyway... Not to mention as my crew you have a right to know as well... At least some of it anyway."

The rest of the Heart Pirate's began to gather around (Yes encluding Pandaman... (okay so in the manga he's not actually shown as the member of the crew but in the anime he is... however In chapter 815 page 16 he is seen on the sixth frame so we'll just go with he's currently on Law's crew and that's why he was there.)).

"I know something about him that his crew didn't... they now know some of it but not all of it... I had my suspicions about it for a long time... but I didn't know for sure until Straw Hat blurted out that Black Leg was born in the North Blue back at Punk Hazard..."

"W-wait... I just realized... Devil Child said something about the Vinsmokes..." Penguin said.

"Black Leg is a Vinsmoke...?" Shachi said turning to Penguin. "HUUUUH! BLACK LEG'S A GERMA PRINCE!"

"WHAAA! GERMA'S REAL!"

"WHY DON'T YELL A LITTLE LOUDER! I DON'T THINK THE LEFT FLANK FOREST WAS ABLE TO HEAR YOU!"

"Sorry captain. Please continue." They said.

"Sanji didn't want the others to find out... So... I might have... told him... I wouldn't tell them... if he... You guys are going to think I'm a complete ass..."

"Captain, we'd never think that!" Bepo said.

"So You black mailed the guy... Big deal...," Shachi said.

"It is a big deal!" Ikkaku said. "What the hell did you even black mail him with?! Other then that he's a prince of Germa you've got nothing on him!"

Shachi and Penguin laughed.

"WHAT'S SO FUNNY!"

"It's obvious isn't it? Did you not pay any attention back at Sobaody?" Penguin replied still laughing.

"Captain's got a crush on Straw Hats cook!" Shachi finished.

Law's face turned a bright red.

"Did you really think we didn't notice?"

"The second you saw him when they walked into that auction house... it was so obvious!"

"Not to mention, Penguin and I couldn't help but notice that you've kept every article about the Straw Hats every sense then as well as Black Legs wanted posters."

"And you've recently stopped calling him Black Leg and started calling him by name."

"If that's not a dead give away then I don't know what is."

"You two are making me sound like some sort of stalker!"

"We're not trying to..."

"It did shock us at first..."

"That you would fall for a guy..."

"But we support you all the way Captain," They smiled.

Law stared at Shachi and Penguin. He didn't know how to respond. He cared about his crew and he knew his crew cared about him... but he had thought for sure that they would judge him for this.

"You're our captain. Joining your crew was our choice... Why would we judge you over something as petty as who you fall in love with and how you choose to get them to fall for you?" Shachi asked.

"The only thing I would like to know is did you mean it? When you said you'd tell everyone?" Penguin asked.

That snapped Law back to his senses, "n-no, of course not! If I were him I wouldn't want anyone to know that either."

"Well then maybe you should go tell him that!" Shachi smiled.

"You're seriously okay with me going with Straw Hat? After we just finally reunited!?

"The only thing we ask is that you don't get yourself killed by Big Mom... or any one for that matter."

"We'll meet you at Wano!" Bepo joined in.

"Just bring that stubborn idiot back safely if that's who you want to be with. Just because he's a prince of Germa doesn't meam he has to fight by himself. Isn't that hat his friends are for?"

"Ikkaku." Law looked at each of his crew's smiling faces. "You guys," he smiled back. "Alright, I would think Straw Hat is here by now. Why don't we go find him?"

"Aye Captain!"
