The Sun was at its highest point in the sky when Sir Crocodile was utterly and convincingly demolished by the Strawhats.

King Cobra and Princess Vivi were huddled closed together at the bunker, and the Princess jumped up at the sound of a building collapsing in the distance.

"Father, what was that loud noise?" The young girl asked, looking worriedly at her father.

"Don't worry about it dear." King Cobra held his daughter close. It felt like forever but eventually the noise outside died down...then silence...for a grueling 5 minutes, nobody knew what was going on.

"Father it became quiet." Princess Vivi whispered, then a firm knock rang through the bunker, echoing throughout the chamber. Princess Vivi, unlike earlier, decided it was a good idea to go near the entrance way and put herself in the front of the group.

"Vivi come here now." The King commanded though the Princess remained unmoving.

"Do not worry father, I will protect us all." The young girl said confidently, without a weapon, armed with only her sharp will and resolve, Princess Vivi stood in front of the door ready to face the possible enemies behind the doorway.

Before King Cobra could join his daughter, a voice echoed throughout the chamber, though to his relief, it was an ally.

"King Cobra, Princess Vivi, can you open the door." If he wanted to, he could have ripped the door open, but that would not go well with his proposal.

"Ah it's mister farmer!" Vivi, despite everyone else's precaution, pressed the doorway release button, one in which opened the chamber. The people within the chamber let out a small yelp, believing that their life was coming to an end.

The lights within the doomsday bunker were not very bright, so being introduced to the outside sunlight took a moment for the party to adjust.

His silhouette was unique, as if he were a giant amongst men. His straw hat was prominent amongst other things and King Cobra immediately sighed a breath of relief.

"Thank you Princess, all is clear King Cobra." Once their eyes adjusted, they finally saw him, with that contagious smile, that everyone within the bunker cried in relief.

The Strawhats and the new recruit were all chatting amongst themselves outside the bunker. The former Baroque works agents were still unmoving, knowing full well where they were all going.

"Thank you Mugiwara...I did not..." King Cobra began. But Luffy held up his hands as if to stop the King from revealing any of his shortcomings.

"A King such as yourself is someone one should admire, so King Cobra, I have come for some business. Can I have an audience?" Luffy put the power in the King's hands, he did not want the King to lose face in front of his people.

"Mugiwara, once we figure out what to do with the destruction of my land...on second thought, let us have a walk Mugiwara." King Cobra left the bunker first, grabbing Luffy by the arm directing him away from the group to have a talk.

"I am humbled by your presence." Luffy commented though once they were in the clear of the group, Luffy gave a non-verbal command for Katakuri to make them a place to talk. Katakuri nodded and understood the command, manifesting a mochi house for the two people to have a private conversation. King Cobra finally showed what he really was feeling.

"I did not know that he was plotting against me, I thought that he was my friend." Began the King. "As your crew went through my army, and I finally realized that we are not ready for world threatening powers. I assume you are an Emperor of the new world?"

"No, not there yet but I am working towards something more than an Emperor. I am working towards becoming the King of the Pirates." To this King Cobra smiled taking a seat on a well built wax chair, created by the new member of the Grand Armada. In his mind, Luffy was impressed by how easily they were able to implement Galdino into their ranks.

"I see." He paused and looked at his hands. "Mugiwara I believe that you will reach your goal, but in doing so, what do you look to accomplish?"

"With becoming the King of Pirates, I wish to obtain the strongest family in the whole world. To end the system that is the celestial dragons, to eliminate the underworld, to control the pirate's action of this world, to unify all the kingdoms, and to ultimately destroy the corruption within the Marines."

"Mugiwara, in order to thank you, I will be able to assist you in one aspect of your goal. The Alabasta Kingdom will raise the Strawhat Grand Armada flag, pledging our support to you." The two men stared into each other then they solidified the newfound alliance with an embrace.

"Thank you King."

"So what is it that you needed to speak with me about?"

"Well that was the gist of it, an extension of my protection of your land. I also wanted to recommend calling the marines right before you declare your land under my protection in order to take the Baroque works agents under custody."

"I see Mugiwara, then I must request something as well, in order to solidify our alliance...you must take my daughter as your bride."

"I am flattered by King Cobra, but she is too young to be my wife. Plus I am a firm believer in choice, so I don't really do well with arranged marriage."

"Once she comes of age then, you will consider if she also wishes to be with you?"

"Ummm..." He was stuck, not able to get out of this one.

"It's an agreement then. I am glad Mugiwara." King Cobra laughed wholeheartedly as the duo exited the structure together. Luffy joined him though not quiet agreeing with the plan.

"One last thing King Cobra." Luffy remembered where he needed to be now. Something he needs to prevent from happening. He was going to meet 'Joker'. "Would you happen to have a way to Dressrosa?"

"I have a friendly relationship with the King Riku, I can provide you a Log post to Dressrosa."

"Perfect." Responded Luffy.


With the Crew

"I am Nico Robin, thank you for having me." Robin had been advised by Luffy to go ahead and introduce herself.

"I am Katakuri, First Commander." Replied Katakuri, as his arms remained crossed, still observing, always observing the surroundings.

"Mihawk. Second Commander." Mihawk commented, giving the women a brief smile.

"You guys are so stiff. The name is Arlong, Fourth Commander." Then Arlong looked at his partner, who also gave a warm smile.

"I am Brulee, so glad that another woman has joined me and Hancock in this group." She gave Robin a quick hug to which she returned. These people were so friendly.

"Rob Lucci,Third commander, you already know our new lackies, Gem, Galdino and Bentham." Lucci pointed at the former Baroque works agent that they have recruited into their crew. Gem struck a pose along with Bentham, but Galdino was late on the notice and failed to strike a pose along with the other two.

"I am Brook, let me ask you dear...may I see your panty..." But an elbow met the head skull of the skeleton man as he fell on the floor. He twitched unnaturally on the ground as if going into shock.

"Don't mind him, I am Boa Hancock, Queen." She gave Robin a hug as well, it was so warm and welcoming that Robin closed her eyes and enjoyed the embrace of another person. "Welcome to our crew."

Hancock knew it the moment she saw her. She was going to be a queen of the King. This was what he was speaking about before. And how did she feel about it? She was strong, independent and amazing in every way possible...but he made her feel so many emotions that she would trust his decision and if need be, share him with others.

"Thank you I am glad to be here." Robin replied with a smile. This felt like home more than any place she's ever been before. But she still had to be cautious, as she thought that the Baroque works were going to be her home for a long time, but he turned out to be a bad guy. She really has a good feeling about this crew, hopefully her feelings are not wrong.


That night.

At the insistence of King Cobra, the Strawhat crew were treated to a feast, in honor of their victory and assistance in liberating Alabasta, along with discovering where rain was being held back.

Though the night was enjoyable, Luffy decided that it would be a good time to retreat to his designated sleeping quarters. He needed to create a plan for Dressrosa, there was no way in hell he'll let Doflamingo wreak havoc through that land.

As he was leaving, he caught the tail end of a conversation between Lucci and Pell.

"...so you're telling me you'll be able to make me stronger." Pell said in disbelief. After the embarrassing defeat of the Alabasta army to the Strawhats, he wanted to be stronger no matter what.

"Sure I can, but the thing is, things like these don't just happen in a day. So how about I give you the basics and you're on your own from there."

Luffy had gone for the night but the crew was still enjoying the party thrown for them.

"So who would win in arm wrestling?" Instigated Arlong, who was looking between Katakuri and Mihawk.

"Me of course, its not even a question." Declared Katakuri.

"Me." Pronounced Mihawk.

Silence immediately covered the air as both men said this at the same time. Then laughter escape Katakuri to which Mihawk joined him. Arlong began to slowly exit the conversation as he steered up some interesting drama between the two powerhouse. He then sat beside Gem, who is his newest crew member.

"See there? That's how you beat someone who you can't beat yourself." He smiled happy to create some good natured rivalry between the first and second commander.

"I see." Gem took out a notepad, with the cover titled 'how to be great like Arlong.' He began to feverishly write in the notebook.

"Galdino! Let's go we have to help Pell become a great warrior."

"Yes boss." Little by little, the men and their crew were starting to take its own identity. Lucci's crew wore a suite, and Galdino looked interesting wearing one.

Brook was creating an atmosphere, as he played a mellow song for the crowd. It took a moment for the people of Alabasta to get use to seeing a skeleton musician.

Though overall the party went great... noticeably, Hancock and then Robin disappeared from the party.


Some Lemon.

Luffy smiled at this, with the Alabasta kingdom under his banner, he needs everyone to get stronger, strong enough to battle with the world powers.

As he entered his room, to his pleasant surprise Hancock was already in his bed, waiting for him.

"About time, I've been waiting for my King." Hancock opened her legs, revealing that underneath her clothes, was nothing, she had been naked throughout the whole banquet and she must've been itching for him ever since.

"Tsk tsk what should I do with a naughty girl like you." Luffy began to crawl up to her area. But Hancock closed her legs, trapping Luffy in between them. Inches from her moist treasure, the scent could make a man go crazy.

"Not yet my King I have a question for you." Hancock began, becoming a bit more excited at the look of his hunger.

"Yes?" Luffy asked, ready for whatever it was as he was hungry.

"So Robin is a young beautiful lady, what is she to us?" Hancock began though she knew the answer, just needed him to confirm.

"Hancock, you will forever be my queen, my first, and my love. Robin is someone precious to me as well, and I also care for her in more ways than one." Luffy knew this was coming, especially since he said that Hancock was going to be One of his queens.

"I know that's silly." Hancock grabbed Luffy by his cheeks and brought him up to her face, giving him a gentle kiss. "I love you with all my heart Luffy, and if I have to share you with others to keep loving you, then I'm okay with it."

"Thank you Hancock."

"But just so you know, maybe you're other queens won't have enough left after I am done with you." Hancock had a mischievous smile before turning Luffy on his back, she then made her way to between his legs and removed his underwear. "Babe, I'm going to rock your world so hard that you'll forget your name by morning time."

"Mm is that so?" Then her mouth encompassed his member, eagerly swallowing as much as she could.

And with a single action, the man who made a mockery of Vice Admiral Borsalino, defeated Sir Crocodile, and stood toe to toe with Whitebeard, was in the palm of one Boa Hancock.

Robin had followed Luffy to his room, wanting to thank him, to express her gratitude, but instead he heard everything that they were doing, and everything that Luffy said about her. But why? He did not even know her.

Nevertheless, her heart skipped several beats wanting to know why.

Though more pressing was the fact that she had manifested an ear and an eye inside the room, she felt so dirty watching Luffy and Hancock, but she couldn't help what her body was telling her, as she wiggled around as a sensation began to build up from within herself. Her hands began to travel between her legs, then to the most sensitive part of her lips and she began to rub as she watched them. It was possibly a minute at most until she finally realized what she was doing. In a flurry of panic she immediately cancelled her powers and began to run back to the banquet, her cheeks still the color of rose pink.

"You know she was watching us…" Hancock commented as she continued to make work of his cock.

"Yeah…"

"And she heard everything you said." She became more eager with each movement of her head, as if begging for his release.

"Yeah…."

"Want me to invite her to join us?" To this Luffy couldn't hold it anymore, as he sprayed her with the sticky white substance which she loved so much. It was all over her and she enjoyed it. The scent, the texture. It was all hers.

"Hmm maybe another time." She said with a sly smile, satisfied by her conquest.

"No come here you!" And Luffy pulled her back in, ready to give her more of what she wanted.

End of Lemon


The very next day, the strawhats finally boarded their ship with Luffy standing next to the mast as his crew looked at him from below.

The Alabasta Kingdom has taken Luffy's advice and summoned the Marine, who took the Baroque agents into custody. Then as the marines left, King Cobra commanded the flag of the strawhats to be brought to the highest point of Alabasta. It would take months to rebuild their palace, but at least they were all alive.

Princess Vivi was relayed the message of becoming one of Luffy's wife once she comes of age, and she couldn't be happier.

Pell trained with Lucci the basics of becoming stronger throughout the night and Lucci was paying for the lack of sleep.

So now they were aboard their ship, waiting for their captain's command.

"I have so many things I need done, that I can't hardly contain myself." Began Luffy. "I want to eventually expand our crew to be big enough to conquer the world, and thus I assigned you all your own division. So my friends, eventually, I will have you all transverse into your own adventures where we all rendezvous in time...but for now I ask you to join me in obtaining another land which we can call ours while in the process, I want you all to obtain people for your crews...as you have began to do so already. So everyone, will you join me in Dressrosa where we will possibly meet our greatest challenge yet?"

"Aye Captain I am with you!" Katakuri was the first to speak, a man who was stuck behind his mother's shadow. A person who was unable to go on his own adventure, freed to seek his true purpose in life. That was what he owed Captain Luffy.

"You have my blade Captain." Mihawk raised his blade, only one person has drawn with him, and only one has beaten him. Shanks was one person he had drawn and the Captain was the one to beat him. Through the end of time he will be the blade of the King for this was his purpose.

"I only want one woman in this world...otherwise I will help you with whatever you need Captain." Lucci tipped his hat, adjusting it to his comfort. There was truly one woman he needed to kill, and little by little he's learning more and more about her.

"After what you've done for my people, I'm with you till I die Captain!" Arlong proclaimed to which Brulee gave him a hug.

"Me too Captain, I am with you for what you've done for me and my brother."

The newest members of the Grand Armada were surprised by the overwhelming loyalty of the crew to their captain. Galdino was brought in for his ability to create wax dummies for training purposes. Bentham forced himself to the crew by challenging Brook at any opportunity. Gem thought it would be fun to learn what he can really do with his devil fruit with the crew.

"Captain, with what you've done for me, saving me from the loneliness and darkness that was bound to consume me…not to mention Laboon." The whale let out a massive spout at the mention of his name. "I'm with you till I become nothing but bones...But I am made of bones, Yohohoho."

Then it was Hancock who was going to speak up. "You are my King and my salvation. I am with you forever more through only death will we part." Luffy gave her a loving smile. Though he thought everyone was done with their touching speech, there was one more woman who was unaccounted for.

"I am new to all this...as you all may or may not know, I am known as the demon of Ohara, I have a bounty of 80million on my head as a child…by bringing me along you have brought great danger to your crew...I can't be here as my conscious will destroy me if you all die because of me…" She began to tear up, finally letting out her emotions. Everyone had been so nice and welcoming to her, especially Hancock and Luffy, that it was too good to be true.

"Robin, don't worry about us. We can handle ourselves." Katakuri began giving Robin a thumbs up.

"We're actually more worried about putting all of you in danger." Mihawk commented.

"Nobody is dying on my watch." Luffy had the most intense, and serious look on his face. He gave her a warm smile that only he could pull off. "So Robin, the question is really, will you come with us?"

It took her a moment to compose herself wiping the tears from her eyes. These people were very strong, but more importantly they were a tight knit group which she so desperately wanted to be a part of.

"Yes." She finally replied with a smile and Hancock and Brulee buried her in an embrace.

"Good, Arlong." Luffy commanded as he tossed the Eternal Log Post to his best navigator. "Lead the way to Dressrosa."

"Aye Captain." Arlong saluted, pulled his woman,Brulle, away from the giant group hug and gave her a kiss, before diving into the water and once again riding on the back of Laboon. "Let's go!" Screamed Arlong as he was floating above water. "Wooohooo!" He yelled when Laboon started to follow his instruction through the direction of his harness.

"He's so awesome!" Brulee had hearts forming from her eyes. Whereas Katakuri rolled his eyes and assumed the position of the helmsman for the time being.

"Alright crew, Captain's order man your stations!" Yelled Katakuri. Mihawk leaped into the crow's nest. Lucci joined Brook in manning the mast. Gem and Bentham were assigned deck related choirs while Galdino was instructed to do the dishes. While the men were being men, Brulee, Hancock and Robin were responsible for creating a meal for the crew, and now that they are becoming bigger, an extra hand was a welcomed addition.

"Onto Dressrosa." Luffy commented to himself as he overlooked his crew, working at his command.


Dressrosa-Outskirts

"My fellow citizen. It still pains me to this day that my Dearest Scarlett has passed on exactly two years ago." A muscular gladiator headed the gathering, this man was no mere ordinary warrior, no this man was the beloved king of Dressrosa, King Riku himself.

In the audience, two people were dressed with an oversized hood. One was a tall muscular man, the other was a beautiful woman holding a precious little girl in her hands. They were amongst the citizens, listening in on the wonderful tribute.

"Please join me in a moment of silence to our Princess, who I am sure is happy where she is." King Riku took a quick look at the hooded figure and a massive smile quickly covered his face. Though he immediately composed himself to cover the act. "Thank you all for coming out once more and please enjoy our snacks that we have laid out for you good people, and let us celebrate the life of my daughter, Princess Elizabeth."

King Riku could not contain himself anymore and ran to a private area, it was there that the two hooded figures finally joined him.

"My goodness, my precious little thing you've grown so big!" Exclaimed King Riku as the hooded woman gave his little daughter to the King.

"Father, I'm sorry we could not visit any time sooner, it was just getting dangerous someone is bound to find out."

"Oh shush dear, all that matters to me is you are all okay. Isn't that right Rebecca? Who's a cutie, who's a cutie pie?" King Riku was tossing little Rebecca in the air causing the little one to laugh at her grandfather. "Plus you have my strongest warrior with you, I wouldn't trust my daughter with any other man right Kyros?"

"Yes my King!" Kyros took a knee in the prescess of King Riku though the King simply laughed at him.

"None of that boy! We are family now! Call me Doldo, or better yet, call me father."

"Yes King...I mean Doldo."

"Atta boy. So listen, I know you have retired from the life of warfare but something might be coming to our land." King Riku pulled a card from his back pocket, tossing it to Kyros. The card was blank on one side but the other was the symbol of the joker. "Some bastard has been intercepting our food supplies...leaving this card in every shipment he manages to interrupt." King Riku then gave his granddaughter a kiss on her forehead before returning her to Kyros who was too afraid to hold her so he handed her to Elizabeth instead. "Anything you need come to the palace."

"Father, I've told you that I don't want you to lose your place, you are doing amazing things for the people, imagine what others would do with such power. If people were to learn of my marriage with Kyros, unfortunate as it is, you will be forced out of power."

"Yada yada I don't care about power I only care about my family. Anyway like I said, Anything at all you hear?" The couple nodded and even little Rebecca copied her parents. "Good, until next time." King Riku gave them a smile, not knowing what tomorrow would bring.

For little did they know, the invasion had finally begun.

Among the people of Dressrosa, the 'Joker' has placed his people in strategic positions to overthrow the Kingdom and placed it back in his control.

As the coming invasion was coming to fruition, military personnel were disappearing left and right, and nobody seems to remember who they were….but why?


Though the world was bigger than just our hero, Monkey D. Luffy...

Somewhere in the West Blue

Edward Newgate, also known as Whitebeard has successfully gathered his entire army. From first division commander Marco the Phoenix to all the way to allies such as Captain Squard, everyone was there.

What they failed to realize, was that one person was not with them, one person was bidding his time to actually reach the point in which he could obtain his devil fruit. So he had to do something to break up the gathering, to stop the aggression of Whitebeard.

"My boy, thank you for this." Whitebeard had asked for a drink and Teach was the first to provide it to him. Whitebeard had not been feeling well lately, ever since the time he left Fishman Island.

"Of course pops, call me whenever." Teach immediately went outside, leaving Whitebeard to himself.

"Marco." Called Whitebeard as he grasp his heart. "What's our status?"

"Everyone is here pops, we're just waiting for your command and we are ready to attack Totto Land." Marco noticed that Whitebeard was not looking well. "Pops? Are you okay?"

"Yeah Marco don't worry about me." Whitebeard attempted to get up but fell on one knee. "Damn it!"

"Pops!" Exclaimed Marco as he tried to catch his captain.

...Days passed and Whitebeard's health was increasingly getting worst.

"Pops we have to call it off." Marco finally said, as his three commanders were within the room. Marco, Jozu, and Thatch. "No matter what test I perform on you, your ages is the problem..."

"No! We are so close...we have everyone here already."

"Pops we've sent them back...We said something came up, they don't know about your condition." Thatch stated worriedly.

Whitebeard was going to lash out in anger but his chest began to feel tight and he fell back on his bed...maybe it was really his age... Marco and Jozu remained with the Captain but Thatch left the room.

Though in the shadow of hallway of the hospital ward of the Moby Dick, a smile formed in the face of the culprit on the sudden weakness of the health of Whitebeard. Teach began to walk away hiding a small black bottle with a red skull on it, laughing to himself as his plan went into play...not yet...no no...not quiet yet.

This was suppose to be Whitebeard's conquest for the One Piece...but one member of his own crew was unknowingly the reason for his sudden decline in health.

"Teach?" Thatch had caught Teach walking outside of the hospital ward. Teach immediately turned around with a smile on his face. "You worried too huh? Well nothing we can do about it...all we can do is make some magic with our hands." Thatch gave Teach a smile.

"Yeah." Teach responded and followed Teach to the kitchen of the Moby Dick. 'Not yet...No no...Not quiet yet. Zehahahaha'

Due to the breakup of the gathering of the alliance, the sun Pirates were forced to return to their homeland.

"Captain Luffy. Come in." To no answer. Jinbei had been trying to get in contact with Luffy to let him know of the events.

"Any luck?" Fisher Tiger and Aladine were sitting around Jinbei, who were both as confused on why the attack had been called off.

"No Captain." Jinbei dropped the golden snail and looked around the room.

"Well it's alright really, atleast now we can help Queen Otohime get more signatures for her dream." Stated Aladine with a smile on his face.

"That is true, though Whitebeard is still making me worried." Began Jinbei though Fisher Tiger grabbed him by his shoulder as if to ease his worries.

"That man is going to be fine, he is an Emperor...a title only given to three people of our time." Aladine was listening in on Fisher Tiger's speech, but he grabbed the newspaper of the day and began reading it. "There's also Big Mom and Kaido and you don't get that title by being just good."

"That is true but..." Jinbei was going to say something though Aladine let out a loud audible.

"Captain...four...four..."

"Spit it out Aladine, what are you talking about!" Fisher Tiger pulled up the paper and read the headline as he let out a shocked expression.

"...Red Haired Shanks has become the fourth Emperor!"


In Mary Geoise

"I'm glad we've come to an understanding."

"Red haired...you know too much but you do not pose a threat to us. So we'll let you live...but this can change any time." There were five powerful figures in that room and its not just strength. Political prowess, world knowledge, overwhelming influence...this was all of them

"Sure." Responded the one and only Red Haired. When he said he needed to take care of something important, meeting with the Gorosei was not what anyone would expect.

"Leave now or we'll really kill you this time." And to that Shanks left the room, as per there agreement he was alone in the land of the enemy, and he had a long walk back to his crew.

As shanks left the room the five elders immediately address the most immediate concern of the group. "He is too influential, powerful...We have to declare him a Yonko. This way Newgate, Kaido or Linlin can take care of him."

"Agreed." Chorused the rest of the group.

It took twenty minutes before someone noticed him. A very powerful man, in-fact, an admiral recently promoted to his pose by the result of the promotion of former admiral Sengoku.

"Red haired." The room suddenly got cold and Shanks stop in his footsteps.

"Vice Admiral Kuzan..." Greeted Shanks with the same tone.

"Admiral Aokiji to you pirate."

People in the surveillance room had been watching the entire exchange through some visual den den mushi. Though suddenly their feed got interrupted as all they could see was an empty screen.

"Five seconds." Kuzan walked besides Shanks and whispered.

"He's not suppose to be here yet. Take care of it."

"Okay." Kuzan immediately deactivated his abilities returning everything to normal.

Then as quickly as the feed was gone, it was back on...with Shanks and Kuzan walking by each other. Their earlier exchange seemed to be nothing but words. Both men seemed to have come to an understanding, but what about?
