Crazy trouble with love part 8

Smoothie and Luffy part 2

Author's note: Before you read this, I just wanted to tell this before I forget. I learned that a friend of mine had some artwork done on one of his stories, the dude being Geo Soul, and the artwork done by a great artist, that being Jump Jump. Why am I bringing this up? Well I wanted to tell you all that if any of you are artists and get inspiration from some of the stories I've posted, please tell me because I would like to see them. This isn't me telling you or making a request TO draw pictures, I'm just requesting to see the pictures if anyone gets inspiration and wants to draw out a scene or something they've seen. I'd rather be told about them and see then to have them done and be clueless and never see them because it's honestly a huge flattering thing to do that for a fanfic author. If no one gets inspiration, that's fine, just getting more reviews is plenty, just wanted to get this out before you read a chapter a lot of you have been foaming at the mouth for.

Smoothie was resting in her bed with Luffy on her stomach who was snoring away while she rubbed his head. 'He's so cute when he's exhausted.' She thought with a chuckle. 'Then again I really did put him through the ringer earlier, huh?'

"Mmm….food….pork chops…." Muttered Luffy in his sleep.

'He he he, he is really hungry, huh?' She thought as his stomach growled. 'I'll have to make sure he gets a big meal when we reach the island.' She thought before the ship suddenly shook. 'Shit, what was tha- oh, right, his crew is following us, I guess they're trying to get us to slow us down in order to rescue my Luffy, huh?'

Knock knock

"Smoothie-sama?"

"I know, I heard." She said as she carefully set Luffy down on the bed before standing up. "Give me a minute and I will deal with them."

"Yes ma'am." Said the soldier as she began to quickly get dressed.

'Alright, so I can't kill them, that would make Luffy-kun upset, I better tell them that he relented to the idea of marriage, which he kind of did of after he lost.' She thought before heading out of her cabin and looked out to see the thousand sunny in clear view. "I will say this Luffy, your crew is dedicated and your ship is faster than I expected."

All she got was a loud snore in response with him scratching his stomach.

"Yeah, you just rest while I deal with them." She said before closing the door. "Alright, decrease our speed and bring us up right next to them, if we keep this up they might actually put a hole in our ship or pop the coating."

"But Smoothie-sama, they might try to board us."

"Then let them, we need to talk to them so they understand what is going on." She said with a frown. "Now slow us down immediately."

"Yes Smoothie-sama, slow it down!" He called out to the crew.

"Aye aye!"

"Slowing down now!"

"Ship, ship~" Called the ship as it began to slow down. It began to lower it's speed with the thousand sunny catching up.

"They're slowing down, don't worry Luffy, we're coming!" Called Usopp as the Thousand Sunny pulled alongside it.

"This time she's not gonna pull a fast one on us." Spoke Zoro grabbing two of his swords.

"Right, she may be beautiful but no one steals the captain." Sanji growled as he raised a leg.

"Just don't get distracted again." Remarked Chopper.

"Don't worry, if he does I'll knock some sense into him, now let's go get Luffy!" Nami shouted before Smoothie jumped off her ship and onto theirs.

"Hello, I'm glad to see Luffy-kun's friends are very persistent, I was worried you'd get lost." She said with a smile. "I have good news, you can stop your attack, after a….contest me and Luffy-kun finally agreed to get married."

"Yeah right, like Luffy would really do that." Spoke Nami with a frown.

"Well, if you want you can ask him when he wakes up, he's a bit...exhausted right now." She said with a grin.

"We'll ask him, after we take him back." Spoke Franky.

"Sorry, but that's not happening, you're all invited to come with me of course, it would be rude for us to get married and not invite you all." She crossed her arms. "Trying to take him back by force would be a very bad idea."

"Well how are we supposed to just go with what you said, you kidnapped our captain then come and tell us he's fine with it? I'm calling bullshit." Zoro said with a frown.

"It'd be best to give us back Luffy, bringing trouble like this when we have our own goals to do." Spoke up Robin with her arms crossed at the ready.

"I'm not saying that you can't do that, it's just he has a very important task he has to do first, and then we'll see what he can do."

"Getting married out of the blue isn't a just reason to put what we have to do on hold." Spoke Brook.

"Well, it's going to have to be, he lost the wager so he's getting married, be thankful, if it wasn't him we would have had to marry one of my sisters to the Vinsmokes."

That made Sanji's eyes widen and pale with Smoothie smirking.

"Besides, you've never been to whole cake island, and it's not like you won't be safe if you come. No marines or navy come near it." She said as she looked at Robin. "Mother also has a few poneglyphs that she could use help translating, I assure you there are things on the island that will satisfy all of you until the wedding is over."

"Poneglyphs?!" Spoke the archeologist in surprise along with the others.

"Yes, she even managed to get one of the rare Road Poneglyphs, one of the four poneglyphs that holds the secret to getting to raftel." She said with a grin, knowing that she had successfully tempted the archaeologist.

"But...those are said to be so hard to find people always believe them to be legends and stories."

"Yes, and momma found one, she also has two other ones, so that's three of the thirty poneglyphs in existence, I'm sure she'd happily allow her future son-in-law's crew member to see them."

"Robin, we can't let her try and distract us." Whispered Zoro seeing her stunned expression.

"Did I also mention that we have several strong swordsmen among our ranks, along with several prized jars of sake." She said, remembering what Zoro liked from her research. 'Alright, if I'm right we have everything that can tempt each of them on whole cake island.'

That made Zoro perk up with Nami growling.

"Either give us Luffy or we're gonna drag him back off your ship!"

"I assure you he is happy where he is, also you're the navigator of his ship, right? I was wondering if you could help us update our maps of totto land." She said as Nami frowned. "It's so hard finding good mapmakers who are willing to map out a Yonko's territory, a once in a lifetime opportunity, right?"

"I can see what you're trying to do, and it's not gonna work on me." She said as she turned away. 'I can't let her tempt me like the others, I won't!'

"Really? That's a shame, some of my brothers have quite the gambling bone and are always trying to look for someone to help them keep track of their money. They have so much they can throw a lot of it away without a problem." She said as Nami froze. "They aren't very smart so I was hoping you could hold onto it for them, but that would be asking to much, wouldn't it?"

"...how much beri we talking?"

"In the millions." She said easily, making Nami drop her jaw. "We're in a yonko's crew, we have more money then we know what do with."

"Nami, I know that look in your eyes." Spoke up Franky crossing his arms. "Now who's getting distracted?"

"Shut up, millions!"

"Do you really think you can just bribe us all until we're ok with this?" Usopp asked with a frown.

"I'm not bribing you, I'm just telling you some of the wonders that my home has." She said innocently. "Is it really my fault if I tell you about our famous home brewed cola, or about our advances in medicine?"

That made Chopper and Franky perk up with Usopp laughing.

"Ahahah! You can try and bribe everyone, but the great Usopp isn't so easy!"

"Well, if you really don't want to come then I guess you're not the brave warrior of the sea I thought you were." She said with a shrug.

"What?! I'm the best warrior you'll ever see!" He yelled flailing his fist. "Why before becoming part of this crew, I was the captain of my very own crew."

"It's not much of a crew with just three kids." Reminded Zoro.

"Shut up! I am the bravest warrior of the sea, you'll see!"

"Then you'll come say that to Big Mom's face?"

"YES!" He shouted before realizing what he said. He panicked and paled with Smoothie smiling.

"Glad to hear that, so I take it all of you might be more willing to come to the wedding without incident?"

"I would still like to talk to Luffy before this happens." Brook said calmly.

"Of course, but maybe after my sisters meet their future brother-in-law." She idly remarked. "After all, some of them are quite up their in age and are very mature, so they'd probably want to see just what he's like, they might be open to finding their own husbands."

"Alright, of course we will be able to talk to him before we arrive, right? He won't sleep the entire time, right?" Sanji asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"Hard to say, he really wore himself out."

"Well how long will it take us to reach Big Mom's territory?" Nami asked curiously.

"If you all keep following my ship, we should be able to make it in half a day."

"Well Luffy won't be asleep the entire time, right? What did you two do?"

"Secret~" She chuckled with a grin. "Just trust me, he's exhausted."

Zoro raised an eyebrow while Smoothie turned to her ship. 'Something tells me it ain't a good one.'

"Alright, the strawhats will be complacent, make sure we don't lose them, got it?" She ordered the ship's captain.

"Yes ma'am, also shall I message Big Mom and tell her you were successful?"

"No, I'll do it then go rejoin Luffy-kun." She said with a grin as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a den den mushi. "Momma, it's me, I have good news, I'm on my way with my new husband." She said as the snail smiled.

"That's great! You're doing better than I expected, and he agreed to marrying you on his own?"

"Yes, I also have his crew following willingly and we'll be there in half a day."

"Excellent! I'll begin preparations immediately."

She put the den den mushi away and chuckled. 'Oh this is going to be the best wedding on the island.'

(Later)

"Ugh….what happened, where am I?" Groaned Luffy sitting up and rubbing his eyes with confusion.

"Ah, you're finally awake Luffy-kun, good~" smiled Smoothie poking her head in making him turn to her.

"Huh? Awake? I don't remember going to sleep."

"You didn't, you passed out, remember, I rung you dry~"

He looked confused before it came flooding back to him. "Oh yeah! Now I remember!"

"Yes, we're getting married, are you ready?" She asked with a grin as he paled.

"Nope!" He shook his head and stood up. "I passed out which doesn't count! I can last longer than you in that game now that I'm full of energy!"

"Oh Luffy-kun, don't be a poor sport, you lost fair and square, if you want to 'play' again sure, but we're almost at the island."

"Come on, one more match!"

"Luffy-kun, you promised, we don't have time right now for another match, so please put your pants on." She smiled before leaving and shut the door making Luffy groan and sit down with a huff and frown.

"This is unfair, she knew how to play that game and I didn't, I know I could beat her this time!"

Eventually the ships began to reach the large archipelago with the strawhats looking at the main island with awe.

"Is...is that an island made out of cake?!" Usopp cried in shock.

"It looks delicious!" Cried a familiar voice behind them, making them turn to see Luffy.

"Luffy! You're safe!" Cried out Chopper.

"Yeah, how did we get here?" He asked as his crew surrounded him.

"Luffy, why did you agree to get married?!"

"You were all fine changing your mind earlier, what changed?"

"I lost the game and had to agree, it wasn't fair!" He huffed crossing his arms and puffing out his cheeks like a child.

"You...lost a game? What kind of game, chess?" Nami asked in confusion.

"No, she lasted longer than I could, but she knew more about it then I did!"

"Was it checkers?" Asked Franky.

"No, she made me get naked and then she did too, and then we had sex until I passed out!" he groaned, making them all freeze.

"NANI?!" They all let out with wide eyes.

"Yeah, and now she won't let me try to beat her again!" He groaned as they all just stared at him in shock.

"You had sex?! YOU!?" Cried out Usopp, Chopper, and Sanji together.

"Yeah, I just said that, why?" He asked as he tilted his head.

"Because it's unbelievable! Insane! Impossible!" Spoke Sanji while crying anime tears with Usopp and Chopper nodding rapidly.

"Well she insisted and I thought I could beat her, but it seems I was wrong." He said as the others groaned. "Either way I don't want to get married, what do I do?"

"She literally got you by the balls." Spoke Zoro making Nami slap him over the head. "Ow! What the hell?!"

"I don't wanna imagine it you idiot!"

"Well, what do we do? I don't want to get married!" He cried as they got closer to the island. "If I try to run though I'll be going back on my word!"

"Hmmm, I know! If you find her a better husband, she'll dump you!" Spoke up Usopp with a smile.

"Good idea! Zoro, marry her!" He said as he turned to the swordsman. "Captain's orders!"

"No way, ask Sanji, he's the lady crazy one."

"As much as I would love that I can't." He said with a frown, remembering the Vinsmoke comment she made earlier.

"What? You give up the chance to marry a beautiful woman?" Remarked Brook in surprise.

"Unfortunately, I have too for….reasons." He said as he looked away. "Besides, she wants Luffy, I doubt she'll marry me or Zoro just because Luffy says so."

"Aw man." Groaned Luffy slumping his shoulders. "This sucks."

"Yes, but you might as well make the best of it, besides it's too late to run now, we're in Big Mom's territory and we'd most definitely be caught if we tried to run now."

"Who knows how many ships she has, for all we know she's getting a blockade set up as we speak."

"Plus we're less than a mile from the dock." Said Robin as they looked up to see that she was right. "At the moment, we'll have to go along with this and try not to cause any trouble."

"Damn it, I can't believe this is happening!" He groaned as he shook his head.

"Well it is, get ready to dock!" Called Nami as the crew got to work.

On shore several of Smoothie's siblings were there along with numerous guards at the ready, just in case.

"So, did anyone else think she wasn't going to be able to get him?" Asked Cinnamon.

"I did, I heard about him and thought he was never gonna end up here." Remarked Cracker.

"Well, Momma must know what she's doing, right? I mean, here they are." Said Poire as they watched the ships reach the dock. "Who here wants to bet his crew are gonna try running?"

"I'll get in on that action, five hundred beri says that we have to restrain them." Said Custard with a grin.

"A thousand says we toss them in the dungeons." Spoke Oven.

"Five thousand says the crew behaves but the captain tries to run." Said Daifuku.

"I'll double that and say the wedding goes off without a hitch." Smirked Poire. "My gut tells me so."

"I'd like to bet the same." Said Amande with a small smile as the ships reached the dock and began to lower their anchors.

"Tch, like that'll happen." Scoffed Flampe.

"Better to hope for the best then bet how things will go wrong." Said Galette as the gangplanks were lowered and they saw Smoothie walk down the ramp.

"Hello everyone, glad you could come." She smirked while reaching the bottom as the thousand sunny lowered their own ramp.

"Where's this supposed husband of yours?" Asked Flampe with her arms crossed before smirking. "Wait, don't tell me, he was so dumb he jumped overboard and drowned!"

"No, he didn't….shouldn't have….Luffy, get down here!" She called as she turned to the thousand sunny.

"I'm coming I'm coming." Came the rubber man walking down with his cheeks puffed out and arms crossed, giving the siblings a good look at him.

'This is who momma wants to join the family?' Thought Oven, very unimpressed.

'This guys is puny.' Thought Cracker in amusement.

"So, this is the person who you're marrying, huh?" Said Amande as the other strawhats began to follow him off the ship.

"I still want a rematch!" He said quickly as he frowned.

"Yes, this is Monkey D. Luffy and his crew." Smoothie said quickly before he could elaborate on what he wanted a rematch on.

"I'm not impressed." Remarked Oven bluntly looking at the crew.

"Yeah, I was expecting something more impressive… though the green haired one seems like he could be a good challenge." Amande said as she looked at Zoro. 'Either that or he just carries that many swords around to try and seem intimidating.'

"Well, at least none of them will stick out here, that's a plus I guess." Said Galette. 'Is that a walking skeleton?'

"Uh, hey there." Greeted Nami with a smile. "Glad to be here."

"Welcome to whole cake island, glad you could be here." Said Daifuku politely.

"Is this the whole crew?" Asked Citron.

"Yep, this is everyone." Luffy said with a nod. "Why?"

"It looks tiny."

"Eh?! It's not tiny, I have everyone I want at the moment!" Protested Luffy with a frown.

"You have eight members and one pet."

"Hey! I'm no pet!" Yelled Chopper flailing his hooves around. "I'm the ship's doctor!"

"He's adorable, how attached to him are you?" Asked Poire with a feral grin as she started to pull out a knife.

"Very!" Spoke Usopp in fear while Chopper screamed and ducked behind Robin's legs.

"Poire, please don't terrorize my husband's crewmembers, and no killing them for their pelt, you're already on thin ice for botching up the meeting with Trafalgar Law for trying to skin his bear." Smoothie scolded with a frown.

"Aw come on, it's not my fault his coat looked nice and soft."

"Yes, but it wasn't an invitation to try to turn him into a coat." She deadpanned while Brook looked at Galette and walked over while tipping his hat.

"Hello there, my name is Brook."

"Hey, aren't you that musician, soul king Brook?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"Why yes, always happy to meet a fan." He smiled while shaking her hand. "By the way, may I see your panties?"

"W-WHAT?!" She cried as she slapped him across the face on instinct.

"Don't ask them that you idiot!" Growled Nami before smiling at them innocently and bowed. "Please ignore him, he spouts off random things."

"Alright….just call us even for my twin's actions." She said as she shook her head.

"Well while me and Luffy-kun go get fitted for our outfits, you all can mingle and get to know each other." Spoke Smoothie.

"Eh? Outfits? What outfits?!" He cried as Smoothie took his hand and began to drag him away.

"For the wedding silly, we can't have it wearing these."

"Why now?" He asked with a frown. "I'm comfortable wearing this, why would I need some outfit?"

"To look good of course. A wedding is very special, and you'd look handsome in a tuxedo." She said as she shook her head. "Don't worry, it'll be a bit before the actual ceremony, we need to have the bachelor/bachelorette party, you need to meet momma, we need to contact your father and most importantly we need to get the cake made."

"Cake?" He perked up with interest.

"Of course, a wedding has plenty of food for all the guests that'll be coming." She said with a smile. "But the best part is the cake, momma loves it so we always make a giant one, one almost as tall as a mountain, in fact we usually have the wedding on top of it."

"Oooh! That sounds great!" He beamed. "I should have Sanji make one too!"

"Well, you could have him assist the other chefs with it, provided he can get along with other cooks."

"I'm sure he will, he's the best cook in the world!" Luffy boasted with a grin. 'Maybe this won't be so bad...but I still won't join her crew.'

"Well I'll let one of my siblings know to tell him so he can lend a hand if he chooses."

"Alright, I can't wait!" He cheered with a grin.

(Later)

"Eh?! I'm not wearing this!"

"You have to."

"No way! It's almost worse than a marine uniform!" He cried as he backed away from the white tux.

"Aw come now, I think it'll look great on you." She pouted with a frown. "You don't have to wear it for long Luffy-kun, we just need to see if it fits."

"Can't I wear something less covering?"

"No Luffy-kun, you can't, it's important that you wear this, ok? Please, do it for me?" She pouted while trying to give him the big eyed look with her lip trembling.

"But...I….does it have to be white?" He said weakly.

"Of course, the same color as my wedding dress."

"But aren't tuxedos usually black? That's what I wore when I faced off against Shiki."

"Well occasionally some of them can be white too." She said, not letting up. "Come on, it's for the wedding, you agreed to this when you lost, remember?"

He grumbled and crossed his arms while turning his head with a huff. "Fine, but I don't have to like it."

"Well I know something you will like." She smirked. "After the wedding is over, we get to go on a honeymoon."

"Eh? Is that a food like honey ham?"

"No, it's a trips newlyweds go on." She smiled. "It's when it's just the two of them, and where they get to have more sex."

"Wait, really? I thought we could just do that to decide if I was going to have to marry you or not?"

"Oh no, sex is something we can do more of when we want to."

"Really? Then let's do it now, if I win then I don't have to join Big Mom's crew!" He said eagerly.

"Luffy, you already lost, it's too late." She sweatdropped. "Besides, while I'd love to have a little fun, we need to prepare for the wedding first."

"Boo, and for the record I agreed to marry you, I never said I was joining her crew." He muttered with a frown as she sighed.

"It's a package deal Luffy, now put the tux on."

"Fine." He relented before he started to strip down. 'This isn't over, she never said that I had to join the crew when she offered the deal!'

Smoothie watched him before shaking her head and left the room. 'Don't get any ideas Smoothie, just focus on getting the perfect wedding dress.' She thought as she licked her lips. 'I can have him all to myself on the honeymoon, just control yourself.'

(Later)

"So, you're Luffy's...Archaeologist?"

"Yes, my name is Nico Robin, and you are?"

"I'm Amande, I've never heard of a crew as small as yours having an archeologist, did he want you to join so he could better understand the poneglyphs and rebuild the ancient weapons?" Asked the tall woman as she led Robin through a hallway.

"Actually Luffy never heard of them. It's actually thanks to me we know what they are." She smiled. "He actually saved my life, that's why I joined his crew, and after everything he's done for me, how could I leave?" She asked fondly as they reached a large set of metal doors. "So is this where you keep them?"

"Yes, but keep in mind, even if you become part of momma's crew, it doesn't mean we'll trust you. You have to prove your worth and loyalty, keep that in mind." she replied before slowly pushing it open.

"Of course." She said with a large smile as she saw the poneglyphs. 'Amazing, I can't wait to translate them.'

The large stones were behind iron bars with several guards around them while inside a vast room with other things behind bars in cells.

"Momma is known to collect rare and exotic things to her. So keep that in mind if she runs into that skeleton and talking reindeer."

"Ah, that would be bad if she tried to keep them, we can't leave without our precious nakama." She said as she began to walk towards the bars. She saw the guards hold their spears out in front of her while Amande walked over.

"You can see them, but that's as far as I'll allow for now."

"Of course, I wouldn't dare do anything else." She said as she looked at them intently, mentally translating the foreign writing as best she could. 'This whole wedding thing might not be so bad, I just hope Luffy is as content as I am right now.'

"Ahhh!" Screamed Chopper running down the hall as fast as possible. "Someone save me!"

"Wait, come back here little guy!"Called Poire running after him. "I only want to inspect your fur up close and personal!"

"No way, you're going to turn me into a hat!" He cried as he changed into his reindeer form to run faster, making her eyes go wide.

"You can transform?!"

"Yeah, why?" He cried as he kept running before trying to turn a corner only for his hooves to slip on the slick floor and ended up crashing into a wall. "OW!"

"That makes you even more great to have around!" She laughed as she reached him and jumped on him before gasping. "Your fur is so soft, it's amazing!"

"Ah! Get off!" He panicked trying to get up while she held on as he took off running as best as he could.

"Oh calm down, I'm not gonna hurt you." She chuckled as she rubbed her face against his fur. 'So soft~'

'I gotta find the others!' He thought before spotting what looked like a small girl walking past the hall dragging a ruined teddy bear in her hand. 'Yes, maybe she can help!' He thought before calling out. "Hey, hey, you, little girl, help!"

The girl turned confused and went wide eyed. "Big sister Poire! You have a pony!"

And cue Chopper falling down with a thud and went skidding against the floor with a groan. "I'm a reindeer!"

"He's going to be part of out crew Anana, he's part of Big sister Smoothie's husband's crew." Grinned Poire with Anana moving over and looking Chopper over.

"He's so big, are you gonna make him into a coat like that bear guy?" She asked as she tilted her head.

"No, momma said I can't or else she'd have my head. This fella is gonna be part of the family after his captain marries Smoothie." She said with a groan as she looked longingly at Chopper who began to feel uncomfortable and changed into his brain point in order to get Poire off of him.

"Ah?! He changed!" Cried out Anana with wide eyes.

"Yeah, apparently he has two forms, awesome, right?" Asked Poire as Chopper shook his head.

"Actually I have seven forms." He said as the two sisters grinned. 'Why do I feel like I shouldn't have said that...and that I should start running?'

"Show us!" They said with glee as they rushed towards him, making him yelp and back away. "Show us, show us, show us!"

'Oh no! I made things worse!' He thought as he began to run away again. 'I hope the others are having a better time than me!'

"Alright fellas, I heard from your sister how you enjoy a nice ante." Smirked Nami with her arms crossed.

"Yeah, that's true, why, you want in?" Asked Opera as he and several of his siblings sat at a large table playing cards.

"Well I don't know, I mean I'm not much of a card player, but I do have some extra beri so why not?" She asked innocently as she help up a large stack of beri. "So what game are we playing?"

"Well if you're an amateur, we'll go with something simple, blackjack." Chuckled Cabaletta.

"Alright, so how do I win?" She asked curiously as she sat down. 'Alright, time to rob them blind~'

"We take turns getting cards and keep one of them hidden. The aim is to try and get as closest to 21 as you can. The one with the closest one wins, but if you go over, you lose." Chuckled Cadenza. "You get all that little lady?"

"Yeah, I think so, let's do this." She said with a smile. 'Suckers.'

"So, this is where Big Mom keeps all her books and so on?" Brook asked as he followed Mont-d'Or into a large library. "Do you think she would have any music sheets in here?"

"Of course, mama has the biggest collection around. If it's something she likes, it's here." He said with a nod. "And as the bookkeeper I know where everything is, so if you want some help just ask, just...avoid the larger books, mama has some odd collections."

"Of course." He replied walking over to a random book and pulled it off the shelf before opening it up. "Oh! I haven't read this one since I died, it was quite rare so I thought all the copies had been lost."

"Just how are you still alive if you died?"

"Ah, when I was alive I ate the Yomi Yomi no mi, we honestly thought it was a dud until I died, but due to the fog of the place I died I couldn't find my body until it was just bones." He remarked while flipping through the book. "It's been so long I can still smell the sea air. Oh wait, I don't have a nose, yohohoho!"

"Huh...so you're basically a living skeleton?"

"Yes, but recently I've discovered the other powers of my fruit."

"Are they really useful and unique?"

"Oh yes, there's a reason I called myself soul king Brook." He chuckled with a smile.

"Hmmm, hey, that gives me an idea." Smirked Mont-d'Or. "How would you like to help out the band during the wedding? With your music helping them it'll definitely be a huge smash."

"Ah, that would be wonderful! Is there any special music I'll have to play or can I make my own playlist?"

"Well it can't be turned into a rock concert, but if you can try and make the usual wedding tune a little more….you, that'll do the trick just fine."

"That sounds wonderful." He said as Mont-d'Or grinned. "I can do that no problem."

"Great, I'm glad to see my new brother-in-law has an agreeable crewmember."

"Well of course, I owe a lot to Luffy. If it wasn't for him, I'd still be all by myself with my old crew." He admitted in a solemn tone. "Doing nothing but sitting in the florian triangle with no one but their bones to keep me company...but now I have a new crew and purpose again." He perked up before grabbing another book. "I better get to work on getting that song ready." He said as we cut to the blonde cook making his way to the kitchen.

"Sanji, you really don't have to cook, anything you want the chefs will make for you." Spoke Prim following. "You're a guest and we have plenty of cooks who can handle it all no problem."

"Thank you Prim-chan, but if my captains staying here then I need to know where the kitchen is, that much is a given, and what kind of cook would I be if I couldn't cook for my crew?" He smiled with a flashy grin before opening the doors and saw hundreds of chefs running around the area letting him look around. "Wow, this puts the kitchen back on the ship to shame."

"Well of course, here we need to make anything and everything mama could ever want to eat, if we couldn't her cravings could destroy us all."

"Cravings?"

"She tends to have severe cravings that can get out of control. If she isn't satisfied with what she's hungry for, it can cause damage to the islands and….the citizens too." She said as she looked away and rubbed the back of her neck. "In her craving state she can't tell friend from foe, the only thing she cares about is food and if someone is in her way….they risk getting eaten."

Sanji looked stunned and shocked before getting a serious look and walked over before grabbing an apron and put it on. "That's all the more reason to lend my help. I'm gonna make enough servings of everything to make sure she's filled if it happens."

"Whoa, I think you're overestimating yourself here, if she tastes something she doesn't like it could set her off into a rage as well!" Spoke Prim in worry as Sanji headed over to one of the chefs. "You don't even know what's being served!"

"Knowing my captain he'll probably demand as much meat as possible." He chuckled. "Besides, I can just ask these guys what we're cooking."

Prim let out a sigh and shook her head. 'Persistent, but if he's made it this far with that captain, he must be something.' She thought as he began to cook. 'I might as well stay here and see if his cooking is up to par, if not at least I'll be here to get rid of it before it reaches Mama.'

"Alright, I'm gonna need to know where you keep all your meat, my captain has an appetite for the stuff that'll put sea kings to shame."

"It should be in the freezer, that large door over there." She said as she pointed at a massive freezer door.

Sanji walked over and grabbed it before grunting as he slowly opened it and saw a huge freeze filled with all sorts of meat making him grin. "This'll do."

"Huh? How did I get here?" Zoro wondered as he looked around to see he was in a large room with what looked like a small house made out of a white substance with muffled sounds coming from it. He rubbed the back of his head and groaned. "This place is way too big, someone could get lost here." He said as he began to make his way towards the house. "Oi, is anyone in there? Open up."

It went silent before he heard some shuffling. Soon the ceiling broke open as Katakuri stood up. "What are you doing here, no one should be here."

"Oh, sorry about that." Blinked Zoro looking up. "I was trying to find my way around here and somehow got lost."

"...The door was locked and there's no windows." He said as he raised an eyebrow.

"It's not my fault this place is like a maze!" Frowned Zoro crossing his arms. "I've never been here, how am I supposed to know which way to go?"

"Maybe don't wander and ask for directions? What were you looking for?"

"I was talking with some girl and made a turn to look at something out the window, but when I turned she was gone and I tried finding her."

"And which girl was that, one of my sisters?" He asked as he looked at him. 'Ok, either he's lying and ditched her or he has an incredibly bad sense of direction.'

"I don't know, I do know she was the sister to the lady who's marrying my captain, Luffy."

'Possibly Cinnamon or Citron then, I better get him back to them, I'm just lucky he didn't see me eating.' Thought Katakuri with a nod. "Alright, then I'll help you find her, but don't try any funny business if you're going to be part of my mama's crew."

"Eh? I'm not joining your crew, Luffy is just marrying your sister." Said Zoro as he rolled his eye.

"That's essentially the same." Remarked the man bluntly.

"Then you obviously don't know Luffy, he'll probably go through with the marriage, but I guarantee hell will freeze over before he joins anyone elses crew." Chuckled the swordsman.

"You don't know my mama very well then, do you?"

"I know that she's strong, but Luffy is more stubborn, whatever she wants out of this marriage might happen, but Luffy joining the crew is one thing I can guarantee won't happen." Remarked Zoro with confidence making Katakuri narrow his eyes.

'Why is he so confident about this, does he expect the wedding to end with them doing something bold then fleeing?' Wondered Katakuri before breaking the house and walked over. "Follow me, I'll help you find my sister, but don't wander off."

"I don't wander off, the walls just move around." He said with a frown.

'This guy really has no sense of direction.' Thought Katakuri while it cut away over to Franky who was currently being shown away by Panna.

"This place looks like it's made out of food, is it actually or is it all simulated to give that appearance?" He asked curiously.

"Both. Mama wanted something yummy to look at, so she had all the islands made like this with different themes." She said with a smile. "We have a team of builders who make the material special so it lasts a super long time, and when it's time to replace it we hold a feast and eat the building before rebuilding it."

"Wow, that's pretty impressive." He remarked feeling the wall before she turned to him.

"Now it's my turn to ask. How are you so metally and big? Are you some kind of robot?"

"Nope, I'm a SUUUUPER CYBORG!" He cried as he took his pose.

"Eh?! A cyborg?" she spoke with shock and awe seeing his pose before smiling. "WOW! That's so cool!" She cheered as he grinned.

"Yeah, every part of me is automated, I am the most super cyborg you will ever meet!"

"Can you shoot lasers from your eyes! Oh! Or maybe shoot rockets!?"

"I can shoot lasers, but not out of my eyes, oh! Here, watch this." He said as he moved his hawaiian shirt off his chest a bit. "Nipple lights!"

Panna's eyes widened seeing lights come off and waved her arms around. "Amazing!"

"Yes! Finally someone who understands the awesomeness that is cyborgs!" He laughed with a grin.

"Do something else!"

"Ok, ok, here, press my nose for three seconds."

"What will that do?" She asked before pushing it.

"You'll see." He said with a grin right before his hair shot out and formed a mohawk.

"OHH!" She let out in awe and pulled her hand back. "That's amazing! You can change your hair just by pushing your nose?!"

"Yep! I could always do it but now I have the technology to do it at will!" He laughed with a grin.

"What else do you have?" She asked with stars in her eyes.

"I have so much more, I have...tiny hands!" He cried as he held up his giant hands as two small holes opened and small hands poked out.

"SO COOL!" She cried in amazement as we cut to Usopp who was being led towards a shooting range by Marble.

"Alright, I'm gonna show you the best place around where I'm on top, not like most of my big siblings." Remarked the long armed girl. "In fact you could say I've got the best aim in the entire crew, if not the grandline!"

"Heh, well that's a bold claim, especially when I'm the best sharpshooter around." Grinned Usopp.

"Really? You? Alright, where's your gun?" She asked as she looked at him with a cocked eyebrow.

"I don't have a gun, but I do have this." He spoke pulling his slingshot out of his bag.

"...really, a slingshot, you claim to the the best sharpshooter with that thing?" She asked in disbelief.

"Of course." He said with a nod. "I bet I could make any shot you make easily." He said as they reached the shooting range.

"Heh, alright, but when I win you're gonna feel like a dumbass." She chuckled as she pulled out two pistols. 'What is this guy thinking, trying to beat me with a slingshot?'

"Then you can go first." He said as he pulled out a round ball for his slingshot.

"Gladly." She said as she aims her gun before firing, hitting one target straight in the middle of the bullseye. "I can even do it with my eyes closed." She shut her eyes before shooting at two other bullseyes and smirked. "See?"

"Huh, not bad, but watch this!" he said with a grin as he pulled back the slingshot before releasing, sending three balls sailing forward before each hit the places Marble's bullets had hit exactly.

She blinked before frowning. "Best 2 out of 3."

"Sure, though are you just going to be using regular bullets the entire time?" He asked with a grin.

"Of course, what's wrong with that?"

"Oh nothing, just kind of boring and limiting." He said with a grin as he pulled out a green seed. "Wanna see what I can do with these suckers?"

"A seed? You're going to hit the bullseye with a seed? Tch, now that's something I'd like to see." She scoffed.

"Oh, I'll do more than that." He chuckled as he pulled back the slingshot. "Green star: impact wolf grass!" He let the seeds go flying before they opened up and let out what looked like plants in the shapes of wolves with the bulb as the noses before they hit the bullseyes and made a small shockwave throwing Marble for a loop.

"What the hell was that, how the fuck did you do that?!"

"My seeds aren't any normal ones." He smirked. "After all if you want to be the best you have to think outside the box, right?"

Marble growled and reloaded. "Double or nothing!"

"Didn't you already say that?" He taunted with a grin as she fired her gun.

"Shut up!" She shouted with a faint blush as we cut to Luffy and Smoothie.

Both of them were currently being told by the father on where to walk, when, and how to step at the same pace, all of which was boring to Luffy.

"Do we really have to do all of this stuff, can't we just do it now and get it over with?"

"Sorry Luffy-kun, but a wedding is big and needs to go off without a problem." Smoothie lightly scolded. "Besides, we want to do this properly, that means it has to go off without a hitch."

He groaned and held her arm like the father said and tried doing the proper steps in sync with Smoothie, which was a bit tricky due to the size difference. 'Ugh, this is so boring! All we've done since we got here is get ready for this wedding thing!'

'I hope this goes off right, after this we have to see momma and I'm hoping Luffy-kun can stay calm.' She thought as they reached the 'altar'. 'Please, please do not upset her Luffy-kun, I like you in one piece thank you very much.'

"Alright, now after a long winded speech about happiness and health, I ask you both if you take this woman or man as your wife or husband, and then in response, you simply say 'I do', any questions?"

"What happens if I say no?" Asked Luffy curious, making the priest groan.

"Then it will be a huge problem for everyone, especially mama, and god save you if you say that with her in the area." Smoothie said with a frown. "And you have to say yes, you already agreed, remember?"

"Augh, fine, what do we do after the I dos?"

"Then you two simply kiss and walk down the aisle. After that, it's the aftermath party where the guests and you can have fun, eat, and when it's done, you proceed away to your honeymoon."

"Alright, thank you father, I'll make sure he remembers all that."

'For her sake it'll be a miracle.' Thought the priest as he began to walk away as Smoothie turned to Luffy with a smile.

"Alright Luffy, I think we should be good for now, how about we go get some food?"

"Finally! I'm starving." He smiled with his stomach growling.

"Yes, but there is a catch, we'll be having dinner with my mother… Big Mom."

"Oh, that doesn't sound too bad." He remarked plainly and calmly.

"Good, good, just….can we go over some ground rules please?"

"Aw come on, can't we just go?" He groaned.

"In a bit, just promise me you won't tell her that you don't want to join her crew, ok?"

"But I don't, I'm being honest."

"I know, but….it just won't end well, ok? And I'd like you to live so we can actually get married." She made her eyes look big and made her lip tremble. "Please Luffy-kun?"

"Ah! Hey no fair, that's cheating!" He cried as he turned away. "Don't you want me to be honest to your mom? Also if your mom is going to be at the wedding does that mean Gramps is to?" He asked, paling a bit.

"Don't try to change the conversation Luffy-kun, I need you to tell me you won't aggravate her, please?"

"Mmmm, ok fine." He huffed crossing his arms. "But I'm not joining her crew, no way I'm changing my mind."

'We'll see about that, once he's part of the family he'll change his tune, I just know it.' She thought. "Well let's go get changed back into our regular clothes before we meet her."

"Thank god, this thing is itchy." He said as he began to quickly strip the tux off. "I never want to wear that thing again!"

"Luffy-kun wait! I meant in the changing room." Spoke Smoothie with a giggle. "I don't think letting anyone see you nearly naked would be a good idea."

"Oh, right." he said with a chuckle.

(Later)

"Come on, where's the food?" Groaned Luffy as Smoothie led him down a long hallway, both back in their normal clothes.

"It'll be there Luffy-kun, just be patient." She said as they reached a large pairs of door. "Remember, no talk of not joining the crew, got it?"

"Fine fine." He replied before Smoothie pushed the doors open.

"Hello momma, I'm back, and I've brought Luffy-kun with me." Smiled Smoothie while it was shown they were in the dining room with a big table that had a big spread out on it with Big Mom sitting on one side and a walkway leading to the top and with Luffy's eyes widening and grinning smelling the food.

"Ah, Smoothie, come, come, sit down with Luffy and eat." Smiled Big Mom as she looked at Luffy with a grin. 'Ahahaha! I've managed to get what I wanted! Dragon's son is right here and in my clutches.'

"Food!" Yelled Luffy before running over and up the walkway in the blink of an eye and looked around at the dishes.

"Mamamamama, he certainly has quite the appetite!" Laughed Big Mom. "You're probably starving so go ahead and dig right in."

"Thanks!" He cheered as he began to shove food into his mouth as fast as he could.

Smoothie moved up the walkway and calmly grabbed an apple to bite into while her mother ate some sweets. 'Alright, he should be more calm and content when his stomach is filled.'

"So, how are preparations for the wedding going Smoothie, is everything going smoothly?"

"Yes, right now the chefs are working their hardest, the invites are sent out, and we just tried out our outfits while going through what's going to be said and done." She said with a nod. "Speaking of which, should I invite people from Luffy's side of the family or would that take too long?"

"Mmm, maybe invite his father and grandfather, anyone from the east blue wouldn't make it in time." She replied with Luffy gulping some meat and paled.

"Wait, you mean jiji's coming?"

"Yes, in fact he's already in the new world, he might be able to arrive within the day."

Luffy let out a groan before biting into the leg of meat again. 'Damn, Jiji is going to try to kill me over this, I just know it!'

"As for his crew, they're all out mingling with my siblings, and his cook Sanji is even helping the chefs with all the catering preparation."

"Eh? Sanji is cooking? All right, he makes the best food ever!" Cheered Luffy. "I can't wait to see what he makes."

"Yes, I can't wait to see what this chef can do. So Luffy, are you excited, marrying a beautiful woman, joining my crew, it's all amazing, isn't it?"

"Well she IS beautiful, but I-" Luffy started before Smoothie shot her arm out and grabbed him.

"Here Luffy-kun, try this roast, it's amazing!" She spoke holding some roast in front of him making him smell and bite into it and started eating into it. 'Whew, that was way too close.' She thought as Luffy began to relax as he dug into the roast.

"So Smoothie, have you two 'been busy'?" Asked Big Mom bluntly.

"W-What? Why do you want to know?" She asked in surprise, not expecting that question.

"Isn't it obvious? I wanna know just how many grandchildren I should expect." She chuckled. 'That and a child is a great way to cement relationships, it will show that you two are close and that this marriage is genuine to Dragon.'

Smoothie blushed and looked down with a smile. "Well...we haven't thought about kids, but I wouldn't say we HAVEN'T covered an important step."

"Ah, so you two HAVE been busy, I wonder if you two will have triplets like me, eh?" She chuckled as she watched her stoic daughter's face turn red. "Maybe you'll even have as many daughters as sisters, now THAT would be something."

"T-That might be too many for me, right Luffy-kun?" She asked as she turned to Luffy.

"Huh?" He blinked before swallowing. "What are you talking about?"

"Well if you and Smoothie have gotten that far, I'll be expecting some grandkids later on of course."

"What makes you think we'd have any?" He asked tilting his head.

"Oh trust me, you will, if she has my genes you'll both have more than you can deal with~" She chuckled with Luffy still looking clueless. "Anyway, once your family arrives Luffy we can mingle a bit then we'll get to the ceremony, oh! Silly me, you two will need these." Big Mom said as she pulled out a black velvet box. "What kind of wedding doesn't have rings?"

"Thank you momma, I had completely forgot about those." Smoothie said with a smile as she took the box. "Also, I was wondering where me and Luffy-kun should take our honeymoon, any suggestions?"

"Already taken care of. The best hotel around that'll take care of anything you two need. I had it specially made for each of my own weddings so they're already prepared to give you two ANYTHING." She hinted making Smoothie smile and Luffy rub his head.

"As long as they have enough food, I'm good to go."

"Of course, they're used to my appetite so they'll have plenty."

"Great, and after this honeymoon thing me and my crew can get back to our journey!" Luffy chuckled with a grin..

Smoothie paled with Big Mom raising an eyebrow before she burst out into laughter.

"Mamamamama, such a sense of humor on this one, huh Smoothie? Acting like he can just leave, how funny!"

"Well yeah, that's the plan." Remarked Luffy bluntly. "I get married, eat some cake, go on the honeymoon and then say goodbye and then me and my crew get back on the Thousand Sunny and we leave."

Smoothie broke into a sweat with her mother losing her smile.

"What gives you that idea?"

"Well, what else would I do? I can't become the pirate king if I stay here, now can I?"

"You become part of my crew and listen to me, that's what you do." She replied with Smoothie gulping.

"Hey would you look at the time? We better go and make sure his crew find their way to where the cake will be, I heard it's going to be red velvet."

"Hey, I'm not joining your crew, the king of the pirates is the most free person in the world, so if I joined your crew I wouldn't be able to be free!" He shouted as Smoothie grabbed Luffy.

"Come along Luffy-kun!" She spoke before dragging him off the table as quick as she could. 'Crap crap crap, I told him not to say that!'

"You will join my crew, once you say I do it will be final!" Called Big Mom with a huff as they left. 'I should have expected him to be stubborn, but it won't matter. Others have tried to be tough and oppose me and haven't lived. I just need to make sure I have a tighter hold on him so Dragon doesn't back out of the deal.' She thought as she resumed eating. 'I swear, Smoothie needs to control her husband better before he gets himself killed.'

"Luffy-kun, I warned you!" Snapped Smoothie with a frown. "Now you went and got momma mad!"

"Hey, she brought it up first!"

"You should have just ignored it and kept eating, now she'll be annoyed until we get to the wedding cake."

"Well maybe I don't want to get married now! If I have to join her crew I won't do it!"

'Here we go again.' "You agreed to it with the deal."

"I did, but you never said that I would have to join the crew!"

"Well it only makes sense. Anyone married into the family becomes part of her crew. Momma though was wrong about one part, the leaving one. Technically speaking you CAN still go out, but your crew would be considered part of hers, and any trouble you cause would effect momma, which is why most crews that join stay here since they don't want to get on her bad side."

"Well screw that, I will not be restricted like that! I am going to be the pirate king, end of the story!" He shouted as he crossed his arms.

She sighed and crouched down. "Look Luffy-kun, would it cheer you up if I did something special for you before the wedding?"

"Will I have to join the crew after the wedding still?" He asked with a frown.

"Why don't we ignore that for now?"

"It's pretty important to just ignore..." He said as he looked up at her with a frown.

"I know momma's rules seem harsh, but it's with her power and rule over the islands that have kept us safe and sound. It's also her way of keeping the family close and strong because she doesn't want some stranger to sneak in and cause a wedge or else it would ruin her own dream. She wants to be able to live in a world where every kind of person can live and see each other in the eye since she's so big and tall. Really it's a simple dream."

"Yeah, but then why should I join her crew, we could just ally with her and not join her crew, right?"

"Well...look Luffy-kun, can't you and momma talk it out after? I really don't want any problems to go off during the wedding." She urged with worry. "I want us to have a good time and be able to look back on this day with happiness."

"I dunno, she seems pretty set on having me join her." He said as she sighed.

"Please, for me Luffy-kun~?" She pleaded holding his hands. "I promise the things we do on our honeymoon will make what we did on the ship pale in comparison."

"Wait, really?" He asks in surprise as she grins and nods. "Well...I can try to talk to her, I really like you and your nakama is pretty nice from what I've seen…"

"Oh thank you Luffy-kun!" She beamed before hugging him tightly.

"No problem, now come on, let's go find my nakama and party!" He chuckled with a grin.

"Alright, we'll save the fun until after." She said as she stood back up. 'Alright, so far so good, I just got to get him to agree to joining the crew.'

(Later)

"Ah! Read 'em and weep boys." Smirked Nami showing her hand.

"What?! Are you cheating, you're taking everything we have!" Opera cried in disbelief.

"Come now, I'm hardly even trying, I've just been lucky." Nami said with a grin as she strained to see over the large stack of beri she had won.

"Bullshit!" Cried all brothers at once while she smiled.

"Now now, there's still a chance to win it all back."

"How, we're almost out of money damn it!" Cried Cadenza.

"Well you must have something worth putting up. Tell you what, you wager something worth all this money, and I'll go all in, how's that sound?"

"Like what, we don't have anything else, what would you have us wager?"

"Oh I don't know, some property in land comes to mind."

"Eh? You want us to wager the islands we govern over some Beri?! Hell no!" Cried Opera.

"Well then I guess we can call this an end, glad to be playing with you fellas." Said Nami as she began to happily put away the Beri into a large sack. 'Yes, this is great, if everyone is this loaded and gullible I'll be richer than a king!'

The brothers groaned and cried anime tears while we cut back to Marble and Usopp.

"Best forty-six out of ninety!" Marble cried, her eye twitching in frustration.

"Nah, I don't think that's possible." Chuckled Usopp as he looked over the half destroyed/half overgrown shooting range. "I'm pretty sure I've won at this point."

"GAH! This is wrong!" Groaned Marble biting into her hat.

"Sorry, but I guess I'm the best shot in the grand line now, huh?" Teased Usopp as she glared at him.

"Oh you're just loving this, aren't ya?" She growled as she narrowed her eyes. "I swear I will beat you, just you watch you long nosed asshole!"

"Well maybe some other time, we can't keep going without any targets after all."

"There's targets everywhere if you look hard enough! In fact we could have a duel!"

"You really won't let this go, well it makes sense, wanting to beat the best is what I get all the time." He smirked with pride making her growl.

"That's it! Get ready asshole!" She cried as she pulled out her pistols. "We walk ten paces, turn and then shoot!"

"Wait, what, you were serious?!" He cried as she turned around and began to walk. "I'm not going to shoot you!"

"Don't worry, I will aim for your shoulder!" She called a bit crazily as Usopp began to quickly dig through his bag.

"Wait! I need time to make sure I have ammo!"

"You have five seconds!" She called as he kept digging.

'I need to knock her out before she does anything crazy!' He thought as he pulled out a green seed. 'Alright, once this hits her it'll keep her from doing anything crazy!'

'I'm gonna land a shot and prove that I'm the best shot around!' She thought before quickly turning around and aimed at Usopp right as he let the seed go flying.

"Green Star: Sargasso!" He cried as numerous pieces of seaweed busted from the seed and quickly wrapped themselves around the surprised pinkette, restraining her.

"Hey! What the?!" She cried out struggling and wound up falling down.

"There we go, it seems I win again." He said as he made his way towards her. 'That was to close, she almost shot me!'

"Agghh! No fair!" She cried as she rolled around in anger. "Let me go, that wasn't a fair duel!"

"We're pirates, since when is anything fair?" He pointed out rubbing his nose. "You did pretty good, but I'm the victor through and through."

"I'll kick your ass, I'm better and you know it!" She shouted as he sighed and picked her bundled form up.

"Whatever, let's go find one of your siblings you crazy woman."

"I'm not crazy!"

"You tried to shoot me after you lost, that's considered crazy!"

She growled and let him carry her while swearing vengeance.

'I hope everyone else is having an easier time than me.'

Back with Franky, he was trying to teach Panna and a few other siblings how to do his dance with her getting a grasp on it.

"All right, after me, one two three….SUPER!" He called as he did his pose.

"Super!" She and her siblings cried while trying to do it, with one or two stumbling from the leg position.

"All right, now you're all getting it, lets try it again!"

"This is fun!"

"Yeah, Franky is cool!"

"Do that trick with your nose!"

"All right, all right, here I go!" He laughed with a grin as he pressed his nose for three seconds before his hair turned into a large afro.

"SO COOL!" They all cried out with Franky chuckling.

'They're all like a bunch of mini Luffys, I wonder if I should go find him?' He wondered while we cut back to Zoro and Katakuri, with said older brother leading Zoro back outside the building.

"Alright, the exit is right here, please do not try to come back in again." He said in mild frustration.

"That's fine by me, but do you know where the wedding's gonna be held?"

"When the chefs are done making the large cake, it will be held there." He said as he pointed towards the middle of the island. "You can't miss it, but if you need help just ask anyone and they'll show you the way."

"Do I need to dress up for it?"

"Yes, it is highly recommended you wear a tux, it is a wedding after all."

"Well then I better get to the ship." He turned and started walking off, the opposite direction of where the docks were making Katakuri sigh.

"I swear, he'll never get to the ceremony without help." He groaned as he began to follow him. 'I hope my sisters aren't dealing with stuff as annoying as this.'

"Miss Robin, we have to insist that you leave the room now." Amande groaned as she tried to drag Robin away from the polyglyphs.

"Please, I just need a few more minutes." She said as she tried to hold onto the bars as best she could. "I've almost been able to decipher one, you can't just leave me hanging like this!"

"You'll have plenty of time looking them over AFTER the wedding." She spoke tugging harder. "Come now, you're acting like a child, now let go of the bars so we can leave!" She cried as she gave a mighty tug, making Robin lose her grip.

"Ah!" She let out in surprise while landing on her stomach and shook her head. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry about that, that doesn't usually happen."

"Don't worry, I have siblings who have their own….quirks, let's just leave now, ok?" She said as she gestured towards the door.

"Of course, we wouldn't wanna end up late." She nodded getting up and followed Amande. 'That's the first time I've really lost myself, how embarrassing.' She thought as she looked back longingly at the poneglyphs. 'Though that was the first time I've been pulled away before finishing translating a poneglyph, or being in a place with more than one.'

'I hope she doesn't act like that after their crew joins ours.' Amande thought as the doors closed behind them. 'I didn't think she would be that fanatical about this, I hope the rest of her crew isn't like that.'

"Got you Chopper!"

"Ahh! Let go!" Cried Chopper as he was pinned down by Poire and Anana. "Let me go, let me go!"

"His fur is so cuddly and soft!" Anana cried happily as she snuggled into him. "He's like a living stuffed animal….can I stab him?"

"Eh?!" He cried out.

"No you can't, but this does give me an idea. I could make a small business of renting him out to kids for rides, they'd love him."

"EH?! I'm a doctor, not a pack mule!" He cried as Anana lit up.

"Ooh, you could find a lady deer and marry them and then we could get baby Choppers!"

"Now that's just plain ridiculous!" He cried as he doubled his efforts to get free. "Let me go, help, someone help!"

"Relax, maybe we can find a brush and fix up your coat, that usually calms down cats."

"I am not a cat!" He snapped before hearing someone walking down the hall. "Huh? Is someone there? Please, help!"

"I say, what's all this racket?" Asked Melise rounding the corner and spotted two of her sisters and Chopper before blinking. "What in the world is going on here?"

"Ah, hey Melise, how are you doing?" Said Poire with a nervous laugh. "Have you met Chopper yet, he's joining the crew."

"Come on, get off of me, I can't see!" He cried as he kept struggling.

"Chopper? Who in the world names their child that?"

"Hey, the doctor gave me this name!" he cried. 'That's it, I'm not getting anywhere like this, time to change!' He thought as he suddenly began to grow, surprising the sisters.

"Hey don't start growing!" Cried Poire as his horns began to rapidly grow. "Wait, is this a new form?"

"Stop growing right now!" Spoke up Anana with a pout.

"No, you wouldn't listen to me so I'm leaving!" He cried as he stopped changing, now in his horn point form as Melise stared in shock with a faint blush.

"My...goodness…" She said as she fanned herself. 'He's like me...and his horns are so big~'

"They're crazy!" He cried out to her while pointing to Anana and Poire.

"Hey, we're not crazy, we just really like your soft pelt, is that so bad?" Poire asked as she tilted her head.

"When you keep clinging to me about it then yes!" He cried as Melise began to approach him. "Now where is Luffy and everyone else?"

"Uh...I-I could bring you to him." She offered.

"Really? Thank you!" He cried with a smile. 'Finally, someone who actually wants to help me!'

"Hey! You don't know where he is." Spoke Poire.

"Oh contraire, I do." She smirked. "I'm aware that the husband of big sister Smoothie is with her as we speak. Find her, and he will most likely be there."

"Oh and like you know where she is, you just want to be close to Chopper, I know that look in your eye!"

"Hmph, at least I'm a dignified woman, not a pelt obsessed gambler like you." She scoffed as she took Chopper's arm and began to lead him away. "And at least I don't want to skin Chopper alive to make a new hat!"

"Hey! I wanna come!" Called Anana following them. "I wanna ride on Chopper!"

"No, go play with Poire." Melise said with a frown.

"Nuh uh!"

"Yes, now go play with her, try stabbing her hat or something." She said as she began to walk faster as Poire and Anana began to follow them.

'She seems more down to earth.' Thought Chopper with relief. 'Maybe there's some people in this crew who aren't crazy.'

Back over with Brook, he smiled while holding up several music sheets. "These are quite well made, so these are the pieces you want me to play during the wedding?"

"That's right, give them your own little flare." Said Mont-d'Or with a grin. "I'm sure Momma will love to hear what you can play."

"Where's the band at? I need to go over this with them and get them ready."

"They're somewhere around here, I don't know for sure though, but I'm sure you'll find them eventually."

"Do you at least know how much time I have left before the wedding gets started?"

"At least a day, we're still waiting for the cake to be finished and for Strawhat's family to arrive before we start."

"Oh! His family is coming! How wonderful! I can't wait to see them, oh wait, I don't have any eyeballs, yohohoho!"

"Yes, yes, though his only family is Dragon and former vice admiral Garp." Said Mont-d'Or.

"...huh?" Brook let out before paling. "Oh no! You mean the marines are coming?!"

"Only Garp, and besides, he knows better than to start something in the middle of a Yonko's territory." He smirked. "Any sign of underhanded tactics from them and momma will rain hell on them."

"My my, how scary, it's giving me goosebumps just thinking about it, oh, but I have no skin, skull joke!" he laughed making the man sweatdrop.

'I wonder if he makes a lot of those jokes.' Thought the clown faced pirate as we cut to Sanji who was trying to avoid Prim who he had been using as a taste tester for his dishes.

"Marry me Sanji!" She cried trying to catch him as he was in the middle of cutting some ingredients and had to keep jumping.

"Prim-chan, please, I need to finish cooking, and you're just saying that because you've tasted what I've made." He said as he dodged another tentacle. "I'm flattered and would be happy to take you on a date, but right now I'm busy with the food."

"No, I need to mark my claim before anyone else finds out about you!" She yelled trying to grab his legs, but he managed to jump over and hover in the air with all the chefs right now focusing on the food.

"Please Prim-chan, I have a lot of work to do, please stop this." He sighed. 'Damn it, why must I be cooking? If I wasn't I would jump at this amazing opportunity!'

"At least say you'll help me catch the bouquet!"

"Ok, ok, I will." He said with a nod as she smiled. "I promise I will, ok?"

"Oh thank you Sanji!" She cried with a smile right as a chess soldier walked into the kitchen.

"Sanji, Smoothie-sama and her fiance would like to see you and the rest of the strawhats in about an hour, please meet them at your ship."

"Alright, I'll be there." He said with a nod.

(Later)

"Oi, Luffy, there you are!"

"Hey guys!" He greeted casually. "I was wondering when I'd see you again."

"Luffy, this place is crazy!" Usopp groaned as he walked onto the Thousand Sunny with everyone else.

"You have no idea." Groaned Chopper.

"You guys are crazy, this place is amazing, a few more days here and we'll be rich!" Nami laughed as she dragged a large sack full of treasure.

"And in a little bit more time I should have the poneglyphs completely translated." Spoke Robin.

"There's some really SUPER people here too." Franky grinned. "I even got some of them to try out my pose and dance and they love it."

"They have an amazing kitchen and the women here are amazing...though a bit eager." Said Sanji who's face had several lipstick marks and what looked suspiciously like suction cup marks.

"I got lost and me this one guy who was pretty cool, but he was kinda quiet." Remarked Zoro.

"Yes, I met this very helpful man who took me around the library, I even found some interesting sheet music for the wedding." Brook chuckled with a skeletal smile.

"I met a crazy woman who couldn't get over how much of a better shot I was." Remarked Usopp. "She even tried to shoot me after she lost for the fortieth time!"

"That's nothing, I met these crazy women who kept trying to hold onto me and pet my fur!"

"Ah, I apologize for my sisters, they can be a bit….eccentric." Bowed Smoothie. "I can assure you though they'll be on their best behavior when the ceremony starts."

"Oh thank god." Sighed Chopper in relief.

"So, the ceremony….do we really have to do it, it sounds like to much trouble and you left out information!" Luffy complained.

"Yes Luffy-kun."

"But I'm not joining Big Mom's crew, you never said I had to but this marriage thing makes it sound guaranteed if I do marry you!" He huffed making Smoothie sigh.

"Luffy-kun, it won't be that bad, I assure you." She said as she frowned inside. 'This could be a problem, if he tells Dragon that he doesn't want to get married willingly he'll pull out of any alliance, and I don't want him to hate me for forcing him to join the crew.'

"That's not gonna help much." Remarked Zoro. "Having his nakama forced to join with a bigger crew without him agreeing is something Luffy won't agree to anytime soon."

"Right, and we didn't join Luffy to become part of Big Mom's crew, if he doesn't want to do this we can just leave, we're all here on the Thousand Sunny so it would just take a few minutes to get ready to go." Sanji said with a frown as the others nodded.

"You can't!" Smoothie cried as her eyes widened in horror. "You can't just leave!"

"Apparently you don't know just how fast this ship can go in a tight pinch." Remarked Usopp.

"That's not it, do you really think Momma would let something like that slide, you would be ruining a wedding, she would hunt you all until she killed you all!" She spoke in a panic. "Momma has enough ships around to make the marines green with envy."

"Well I still won't join her crew, that's final!" He shouted as he crossed his arms.

"Please Luffy-kun, let me talk to her, just don't go." She begged. 'I can't lose him, I can't!'

"Well… you can try, but if she insists on me joining the crew then I'm leaving!"

"Alright, just stay here, I'll be right back." She said as she jumped off the ship. "And don't you even dare think of leaving until I come back!"

"We won't!" Called Luffy as the crew watched her leave.

"So… how much you wanna bet we have to leave guns blazing?" Zoro asked with a frown.

"At this point I wouldn't need to bet, it's always the same." Sighed Nami.

"Yes, it does seem to be a recurring theme with us." Robin said with a smile.

Smoothie booked it to her mother as fast as possible while briefly imagining Luffy and his crew already sailing away. 'No no no o no, don't leave me Luffy-kun!' She thought before imagining her mother getting pissed and eating them all in anger. 'Nooooo! I can't let that happen!'

When she reached the room she burst in while panting and fell to her knees.

"Huh? Smoothie, what are you doing here, what's going on?" Her mother asked in surprise.

"Momma….please...I need to talk to you."

"Of course, I'm free at the moment, what's wrong, did your fiance do something?"

"No...but perhaps we could make a slight...adjustment?" She said nervously as her mother narrowed her eyes.

"Explain what you mean by adjustment." She said coldly as Smoothie gulped.

"Well….Luffy-kun is still quite firm in staying the captain of his own crew."

"Well too bad, you know that once he says I do he's part of the Big Mom pirates."

"Momma please, Luffy's made it clear he doesn't want that. If he's forced to he might leave right now!"

"Well we can't have that, bring me one of his crew members, maybe it's time he learns what will happen if he goes against me." Big Mom said darkly, making Smoothie rapidly shake her head.

"No no no, you can't do that, if you do that then he really won't agree to it, plus Dragon will find out!" She spoke up quickly. "You said it yourself, if we force him then Dragon will call the deal off and never ally him with us!"

"Ugh, damn it you're right, but the whole reason for the marriage is for him to join the crew! How can we let him not join and still guarantee that Dragon will ally with us?"

"Maybe if Luffy-kun is allowed to still be his own captain with his crew, he'll be open to a possibly alliance with you instead. It's not as sure as becoming part of the family, but if it's the closest option possible, wouldn't it be better to take it?" Smoothie suggested quickly. "Plus it might earn us some favor with Dragon seeing that we were willing to compromise with Luffy-kun instead of force him to abandon his crew?"

Big Mom was silent and bit into the eclair she was eating and growled since this would effectively be her first time compromising with someone who didn't listen to her, which would look bad on her reputation. "I don't like it...I don't like it at all, but this is too big of an opportunity to miss, we've already lost our chance to ally with Elbast, I won't lose Dragon as well. Tell your fiance he can remain his own crew, but once you two marry he'll be in an alliance with me so strong it'll be as if he IS part of my crew in everything but name, got it?"

"Yes momma, thank you." She bowed with relief before rushing out of the room. 'Yes yes yes, she agreed, Luffy-kun will be happy, I can get married and no one has to die!'

"So how long should we wait for her?" Asked Usopp leaning against the mast.

"Maybe ten more minutes, if we see gramps coming we're leaving before then." Luffy said seriously.

"LUFFY-KUN!" They heard Smoothie call as Luffy turned right before he was tackled by the tall long legged woman with a large smile. "I'm so glad you didn't leave!"

"Yeah, so, what did your mom say?" He asked with a groan as she hugged him tightly.

"She said you can stay part of your own crew, isn't that great!"

"Wait, seriously?" Asked Nami in surprise with Luffy smiling.

"Yes, all she wants is your crew to be an ally with her and you can all still be the strawhat pirates."

"But she won't be my boss, right?"

"Well, technically no, bu-"

"Good enough for me!" He smiled while hugging back with his head rubbing against her chest making her gasp and Sanji pop a nosebleed.

"L-Luffy-kun, not in front of your crew!" She cried out with a massive blush. 'He's so forward!'

'Lucky bastard!' Thought Sanji as the two broke the hug.

"Come on, we need to get in place, the preparation for the ceremony should be done soon and I want to be in place when it does."

"Eh? Wait, what, I thought there was another day?!"

"...oh...my bad." She chuckled embarrassed. "I was so worried about talking to momma it slipped my mind for a moment."

"It's ok….so is Gramps really coming?" Luffy asked nervously.

"Luffy, I think I see a marine ship heading towards us!" Usopp called.

"That would be a yes." Remarked Robin.

"Uh-oh...this won't be good." Luffy said nervously.

"If you want Luffy-kun you could stay with me in my room until the wedding starts." Offered Smoothie.

"LUFFY! WHERE ARE YOU?!" They heard his grandfather shout out.

"Sold!" He spoke quickly.

"LUFFY, GET OVER HERE YOUNG MAN!"

"Let's go!" Luffy cried as Smoothie grinned and began to run off the ship.

"Wait...is Luffy actually getting married?" Nami asked in surprise.

"I'm gonna go to sleep early, this days been exhausting." Sighed Usopp.

"Same, I don't want those girls to find me." Gulped Chopper nervously.

"I might join you, I think I need some time to process this, and give Prim some time to calm down." Sanji said with a nod. "Plus I think the chefs can handle everything without me there."

"I'm gonna go out and see if I can try some of their cola, Panna can help me find it." Smiled Franky.

"I'm going to go try and sneak back to the Poneglyphs, I still have to translate them." Robin said with a smile.

"I'll be counting my money, I wanna have sweat dreams about it." Grinned Nami dragging the bag.

"I'm going to go take a nap, wake me up if we're under attack or Luffy is getting married." Zoro said as he lied down and closed his eyes.

"I'm gonna be going over the music so I'm in tune for tomorrow." Spoke Brook.

(Later)

"Luffy, open up, I know you're in there!" Called Garp knocking on the door.

Silence.

"Luffy, open up right now!" Called Garp as he kept pounding on the door. "I have some meat~" He called as he heard some shuffling from inside.

"Did someone say meat?"

"Luffy-kun, stay quiet!" Hissed Smoothie as Garp grinned.

"I found you brat!" He cried before punching down the door. It went down before he stepped in and spotted Luffy who jumped with Smoothie poking her head out from the bathroom with a frown.

"What's the meaning of breaking my bedroom door?"

"Sorry about this, but I have to knock some sense into my grandson, who gets engaged without telling their family, I learned when the Big Mom pirates dropped off a fucking invitation! And why are you marrying one, you were supposed to marry a nice marine girl!" He yelled out with Luffy gulping and Smoothie frowning.

"Oh really now?" She walked out crossing her arms. "And what would a boring marine girl have that I don't? Care to explain? Just keep in mind, I can see destruction of my door as rude behavior and have you removed from the island, with or without a boat."

Garp looked at her and frowned. "I have nothing against you per say, it's just if he married a marine girl he might have stopped being a pirate and would have become a marine."

"No way! I'm not gonna become a marine." Frowned Luffy.

"Besides, I love him the way he is, he doesn't need to be a marine!" Growled Smoothie. 'I wonder if I have permission to squeeze him of all his juices if he disrupts the wedding.'

"Augh, damn it Luffy, this will just make your bounty increase!" Groaned Garp. "I...just want you to be safe." He grumbled looking down and clenching his hands with Smoothie confused and Luffy getting the hidden message.

"Gramps...I won't let anything happen to me, and I'll never let myself or my crew get captured, I promise." Spoke Luffy with seriousness as he walked over and tried smiling. "I'm gonna be Pirate King, and when I do, I'm gonna show you just how tough I've gotten."

"Heh, you better brat, but don't think you're off the hook for not telling me about your fiance!" He chuckled before lightly hitting Luffy on the head. "Especially such a beauty like one of Big Mom's daughters."

'Oh so now I'm a beauty?' Thought Smoothie sarcastically.

"Ow! I only agreed to get married a few days ago!" He groaned. "And only after she beat me in a deal."

"Well even then, being married is a huge thing, which means if you two have any kids you better tell me right away! I wouldn't mind having some grandkids to spoil." He laughed.

"Fine, fine, oh boy, I wonder how Dadan and Makino is going to react to this." He groaned as Smoothie chuckled.

"They might want pictures, so I guess we better do our best Luffy-kun."

"Yeah, I just hope the cake tastes good." he said as Garp picked up the door.

"All right, I'll leave you two lovebirds alone, congratulations Luffy." He smiled before leaving and put the door in place, which fell down making Smoothie sigh.

"Your grandfather is kind of annoying Luffy-kun, he pretty much made sure we can't have fun until the honeymoon."

"Aw, not even a little?"

"Sorry, but I'm not risking any of my siblings stumbling upon us." She replied before looking at the clock. "Besides, we need to get breakfast and then get ready."

"Oh, all right…" He groaned as he began to put his vest on.

(Later)

Luffy sighed while getting some help putting his suit back on while the ceremony was getting set up with plenty of chairs and a huge cake in place with his crew doing their own things. "Ugh, how long do I have to wear this thing?" Groaned Luffy as the soldiers sighed.

"Until you get to the hotel Luffy-san, just be happy you're allowed to keep your straw hat on during the ceremony."

"It's my greatest treasure, why wouldn't I?"

"It's not whi- look, just know it's a big exception, ok? Now put your shoes on!"

"Fine." He groaned before putting the shoes on with a grumble. "So, when do we say the I dos?"

"In a bit, everyone is still getting seated and relaxed."

"You'll wait near the altar as Smoothie-sama is lead down the aisle and then wait until the moment the father gets to." He said as he looked Luffy over. "Alright, you're all dressed and ready to go."

"Great, I can't wait till I'm out of it." He sighed before walking out of the room and went down the hallway out of the place and where the cake was with a large walkway up to the top.

"Alright, walk up there and wait by the father, when the music starts to play just do whatever he tells you to do, and don't take anything off!"

"Yeah yeah." He waved off before walking up the steps. 'Damn this is a big cake, I can't wait to eat it!'

"Wow, this place is pretty big." Remarked Zoro looking around while in a seat and suit.

"Yeah, and there are quite the few big names here as well." Robin said as she looked around who was in a black dress. "This is going to be quite the eye catcher in the next newspaper article."

"Yeah, I still can't believe they made all of this on such short notice." Said Nami as she looked around in amazement with a white dress.

"With so many hands and people eager to see it go off with no problem, it's really no big deal." remarked Chopper in his own suit, but hiding under a chair. 'I know they're here, but I can't let them see me, Sanji already got snatched when we got here!'

"Excuse me Prim-chan, you look lovely, but I really gotta go sit with my crew."

"Come now Sanji, you'll make me feel all alone." Said Prim with a smile as she held Sanji close in her tentacles at the table next to the straw hat crew.

"Heh, well I wouldn't want that." He blushed with hearts in his eyes. "I guess staying a little bit more couldn't hurt."

"Very good Sanji-kun~" She chuckled as she held him closer.

"Should we be worried about that?" Franky asked, gesturing to Sanji and his captor.

"He's close enough to the table, besides Brooks not sitting with us, so it can't be that big a deal, right?" Usopp said as he gestured towards the skeleton who was by several musicians as he sat in front of a piano.

"I'm more worried about something going wrong when it starts. It's usually our luck." Remarked Zoro.

"Yeah, how much you wanna bet there's an assassination attempt of some kind?"

"Wow, you sure must be confidant in that." Remarked a voice behind them making them turn to see Poire standing there with a grin. "Do I smell a bet?"

"Oh no, no way, I learned my lesson with this one!" Zoro snapped as he pointed at Nami. "I'm not making any bet because she'll win every time!"

"Oh really now?" Poire turned to the girl. "I'm willing to bet a meager 10,000 beri saying that this wedding will go off without any problems."

"Hmmmm, interesting, I'll take that bet." Chuckled Nami with a grin. 'Jokes on her, she never specified what kind of problem and she doesn't know our crew!'

Zoro facepalmed before a signal was give with Brook and the band starting the song, but with a slightly more upbeat tempo making everyone look down the aisle. They saw Luffy rushing down it before waiting at the altar.

"Sorry, lots of steps."

That made them sweatdrop before looking again and spotted Smoothie in a wedding dress, veil, and holding a bouquet, and was being lead down the aisle by Katakuri.

'Wow, she looks beautiful!' Thought Luffy as his heart began to race a bit.

That was the same thought numerous other guests thought as they watched her and her brother go up the steps before reaching the top as Katakuri looked at Luffy.

"I entrust my sister to you strawhat, so don't break it." He warned before going to take his own seat.

"Pssst, how could I break you?" Luffy whispered in confusion, making her giggle.

"You're so silly Luffy-kun." She said as the priest rolled his eyes.

'Young love, sickening.' He thought before clearing his throat. "We gather here today, to join these two lovers in holy matrimony, if anyone objects speak now or forever hold your peace."

Everyone was silent, especially any near Big Mom who had a look that said 'The one who does speak up is the one I end'.

"All right, if no one objects let's cut to the chase, shall we? Do you, Charlotte Smoothie take this man to be your husband, to support in health and sickness?"

"I absolutely do."

"Good, and do you, Monkey D. Luffy take this woman as your wife, to care for her through thick and thin, for now and evermore until death do you part?"

"Uh huh." He nodded. "I do."

"Good, I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride." He said as Smoothie smiled as she quickly reached down, grabbed Luffy and brought him up before kissing him on the lips. This made the guests stand up and clap with smiles.

'Yes, we did it, I'm finally married to Luffy-kun!' Smoothie thought with a large smile. She held the kiss while getting bold and added some tongue, which Luffy took as a sign to do the same.

'Wow, they're really getting into it!' Thought Nami with a small blush. 'I pray Luffy doesn't get too bold and try feeling her up.'

'Well...I didn't expect this.' Thought Dragon who was sitting next to Big Mom and Garp. 'I suppose I'll give her a few ships, just enough to keep her pleased.'

'Mamamamamama! It worked!' Thought said yonko. 'The alliance will happen, good Job Smoothie, good job!'

After the kiss, the wedding lead on to the reception where the guests mingled and talked while enjoying the cake.

"Are we really just eating this cake? We've been walking on it for hours." Said Usopp as he looked down at the cake apprehensively.

"Relax, they have a lot of their building material made out of stuff like it, which means they must be doing something to make sure it doesn't get dirty." Spoke Franky taking a bite and smiled. "This is definitely SUPER!"

"Besides, I saw some of the servers scraping off any dirty frosting so the cake should be fine." Robin said as she ate a piece with a smile. "Did you help make it Sanji?"

"A bit, I helped with the frosting before I had to leave." Said Sanji who was sitting next them, Prim having left to go catch the bouquet. "I actually had to stop at a point because Prim-chan was REAL happy when she tried some samples."

"Oh my Sanji, are we going to be invited to another wedding soon?" Chuckled Brook who was taking a break from the band.

"Heh, well I'm not sure about that." He chuckled rubbing the back of his head.

"GIVE ME THE BOUQUET BITCH!" Prim cried as she tackled Nami who caught said bouquet.

"Wow, that was pretty worth seeing." Laughed Zoro. "Come on, pull some hair!"

"Shut up Zoro!" Nami shouted as she was wrapped up in the tentacles. "Let go of me you crazy octopus!"

"Then hand over the bouquet!" She snapped as Nami frowned.

"No, I caught it so it's mine, but if you want you can buy it from me!"

"I'm not paying!" She growled while Poire walked over and chuckled.

"Wow, who knew you were into being hitched for such a gambler."

"W-What? No, no no no, I'm just not giving it to her on principle!" Nami sputtered with a blush. "Also this counts as a problem so I win the bet!"

"Oh I wouldn't say that. It's only a problem if she doesn't get them, which I would give before she squeezes the air out of you."

"She wouldn't do tha-ack! What the hell?!"

"Give it to me, I need to marry Sanji-kun!"

Sanji blushed hearing that with Nami groaning as Poire crouched down.

"Alright, I might lend a hand to get you out of this, but it's gonna cost you. How does….triple the amount we put up sound?"

"WHAT?! HELL NO!" Nami shouted with a frown before spotting Chopper. "How about this instead, you get me free and I'll tell you where Chopper is hiding."

"Oh! Sounds good to me." Grinned Poire before turning to Prim. "Hey Prim, how much is that bouquet worth?"

"Enough that I'll crush this bitch!"

"If you give me a high number I'll get it to you no problem."

"Ugh, fine, five hundred!"

"Done." Poire reached down and snatched the flowers and held them away from them. "Alright, now tell me where Chopper is."

"He's under our table eating some cake, now get her off!"

"Alright, thanks, now Prim, go fetch!" She hurled the flowers through the air making Prim get off Nami and chase after it before turning and walked towards the table. "Now it's time to get my prize, oh Chopper~"

Said reindeer paled and turned his head slowly before seeing Poire's feet coming closer. 'Noooo! Not again!' He thought as he looked around desperately for a way to escape. He darted over an opening right as Poire popped her head under.

"I found you Chopper~" She chuckled as he let out a scream right as her arm lashed out to grab him. He bolted away making her frown and get up. "Get back here!"

"Luffy help!" Chopper cried as the redheaded woman gave chase as he headed towards the happy bride and groom who were currently eating cake together.

"Hmmm?" He let out while his mouth was filled with cake.

"I'm being chased again!"

"Poire, what are you doing to my husband's crewmember?" Asked Smoothie with a frown.

"I just wanted to hold him again, nothing wrong with that is there?"

"It is if he doesn't want to, don't ruin this wedding." She said as she narrowed her eyes, making Poire gulp nervously.

"Well...is it uh….I just want to share a dance with him?" She tried again nervously.

"That doesn't sound so bad." Remarked Luffy. "Have fun Chopper, me and Smoothie will join you guys soon."

"But-" He was cut off and got picked up by a smiling Poire.

"You heard the groom, let's dance Chopper~" She chuckled as she led him towards the dancefloor.

'Why me?' He thought while Usopp saw Marble marching over towards him.

"You! I gotta a few words to say to you pal."

"Look, can we do this later, we're at a wedding, it's not exactly the place to have another contest."

"What? No no, I wasn't here about that. I was gonna ask if you wanted to dance."

"Wait, really?" He asked in surprise as she nodded. "Well, ok, I guess a dance couldn't hurt, right?"

"Good." 'Heh, I'll make him see my dancing skills are way better than his.' She thought as she led him towards the dance floor as we cut to Big Mom talking to Dragon.

"Well well, it seems your son is quite happy, isn't he?"

"Yes, to be quite honest, I was expecting there to be an incident like what he's known for." He chuckled.

"Yes, well, let's be glad it's gone off without a hitch, in fact there almost was one earlier but it was taken care off." She said with a smile. "So, I guess this makes us in laws now, doesn't it?"

"Yes, and hopefully it means no trouble in the future."

"Of course, of course, I would never want to hurt my son-in-law's father's organization, now would I? In fact I agree with most of your views." She spoke up trying to look good, which Dragon could tell.

'She says that now, but I'm too smart to fall for that.' He thought while looking at Smoothie and Luffy chuckling while Luffy had some cake on his face. 'Luffy, it's good to see how far you've come. I just hope you can become even better and happy when you achieve your dream.'

"Hehe, I never thought I would live to see Luffy get married!" Laughed Garp as he ate some cake. 'I just hope he doesn't leave her behind for some adventure, trying to leave a woman behind to sail around without telling her is something even I wouldn't do!' He thought before looking at Smoothie who kissed him in an attempt to get the cake off. 'Though something tells me she would hunt him down to get him back.'

"Hold still Luffy-kun, you're all sticky."

"He he, stop it, it tickles!" He laughed as she smiled and chuckled at his antics.

"Well you know what else will tickle?" She leaned down and whispered to his ear making him blink and grin widely.

"That sounds great! Oh! I could even use gear third!"

"Gear third?" She looked confused before he whispered in her ear next making her gasp and blush brightly. "Luffy-kun! That's so naughty, I love it~"

"Great, then let's go, where is that honeymoon place you were talking about?" He asked with a grin.

"Don't worry, we'll have plenty of time later, but for now, let's just enjoy the party." She smiled before pecking him on the lips and held his hands while feeling like she was on cloud nine. 'Is this heaven? It must be, or at least as close as I can get~' She thought as he smiled.

"Hey, Smoothie, let's go dance!" Spoke Luffy standing up and pointed to the dance floor.

"Alright, let's Luffy-kun." She said as they began to make their way there. 'I never want this day to end~'
