Chapter 5

She's Your Mom! Ren Arrives On The Thousand Sunny!

The Strawhats were still trying the new information they had received from their captain. A marine was his mom. His mom! Garp was one thing, but Luffy's mom was another story entirely.

"Who's y-your mom?" Nami asked, surprisingly calmer than expected. She was on the upper deck with Luffy, while the rest were on the lower deck.

Luffy managed to regain some of his composure. He pointed a shaky finger at the ship, more specifically the 3 people standing prominently on the top most part of the ship. "The one in the middle… the tall one. That's her. Those two next to her are my cousins, Shauna and Ren."

"Hm. So the She-Demon is your mother, interest," Robin said in a neutral, but curious tone.

"How can you be so calm!?" Usopp shouted. Then what she said processed. "Wait She-Demon?"

"Unless I'm mistaken that symbol on their sail is the Demon Unit," Robin explained. "And if what I've heard is true the captain of that unit has the reputation of being as strong as an admiral."f

Silence

This news surprised the Strawhats. The strength of an admiral is nothing to sneeze at. Robin continued, "I've also heard that she is merciless towards pirates and has a reputation of being one of the most terrifying marines in the government. There's a story of how she single handedly wiped out a pirate crew of 500, who's captain had a bounty of a 150,000,000 berri, in under 10 minutes."

Usopp's jaw dropped. "Are you serious?!" He turned his head to Luffy. "Luffy how many more marine relatives do you have?!" he regretted shouting. Luffy had shadows over his eyes and hung his head down to avoided eye contact with the others. "Um Lu-

"Franky!" Luffy yelled in a serious tone.

Startled, Franky jumped. "Y-yeah?"

"I need you to…" Luffy said in the same serious voice.

"Yeah?" the Strawhats listened closely to what Luffy had to say.

"Do that Coup de whatever and get us out of here!"

"What!?" The other Strawhats, minus Robin, shouted.

"That's a bit out of character for you, Luffy" said Usopp. It was unnerving to see him like this. He and the other Strawhats took a glance at Luffy's mom. She gave off a serious no nonsense woman kind of vibe, which you'd expect from female marines. She had the same raven black hair and skin tone as Luffy and was as tall as Robin. She just stood there with her arms crossed and a face similar to Zoro when remaining cool. she wore a jacket that only the higher ranking marine officers wore.

"Luffy's mom looks scary," Chopper whispered

Luffy shook his head. "Sorry to freak you out… Franky do the thing."

Without a word Franky went to the lower part of the ship and as he left he said, "It's called Coup de Burst!"

"Hey Luffy I got a question for you," said Sanji as he lit a smoke.

"Yeah?" Luffy said.

"How is it possible for you to have such a beautiful mother?" Sanj asked as he puffed out a ball of smoke, making the other Strawhats fall flat.

"Hey what's that supposed to mean!?" Luffy shouted angrily.

"Well it's hard to believe someone so beautiful could be, in anyway, related to you." said Sanji callously. The Strawhats looked at Luffy's mom again and they silently agreed that she was very beautiful. None of them could see any of Luffy in her, none except Nami, who saw some kind of similarity, but couldn't place , in response, gritted his teeth and ignored Sanji's rude comment.

"Hey Luffy I have a question," said Nami.

"What is it," he asked.

"That younger girl with your mom is your cousin, right?" Nami said as she pointed at the marine ship.

Luffy nodded, "Yeah her name's Shauna and that guy with them is Ren her twin brother, why do you ask?"

"Because she's glaring at me like I killed her best friend," Nami said a little afraid.

The Strawhats looked at Luffy's cousin. Like Nami said she was glaring at her with a lot of anger. Her gaze shifted between Robin and Nami, her eyes were practically glowing with rage and her body emitted a dark, terrifying dark aura.

"She seems quite angry," Robin said in a neutral voice.

"Yeah looks like she wants to kill you and Nami", said Zoro nonchalantly.

"Don't say something like that so calmly, idiot!" Nami shouted.

"Far back as I can remember Shaun has always been the kind of girl who gets angry really easily." Luffy stated.

"Kind of like you," Zoro teased Nami. With that Nami cracked, jumped from the upper deck, and on to Zoro knocking him down to the ground.

"Shut up you jerk!"

"In any case I'll protect my darling Nami and Robin from anything." Sanji declared.

"And how do you plan on defending them from two women, love cook?" said Zoro.

"Well um… uh…" Sanji didn't have an answer.

Under normal circumstances Zoro would take this opportunity to crush Sanji's pride in a million pieces, but something was on his mind, "Why haven't they attacked yet?"

"Huh?" said Usopp. "hey you're right, they've just stayed there in that single spot this whole time."

"They haven't even shot a single cannon at us this entire time. That's strange?" said Chopper.

"Maybe it's because Luffy's on the ship?" suggested Nami.

The other Strawhats contemplated that thought. "It definitely would make sense. After all I doubt a good mother would actually want to arrest her own son, right captain?"

Luffy was silent for a moment, as leaned on the railing. He took a deep breath and said, "I can't be sure. My mom has her own way of doings and she rarely does anything the expected way."

The Strawhats were not sure what to say. In any other situation they'd retort with "Kind of like you," but they knew that would be a bit too tactless.

Meanwhile, on the Demon Unit's ship Ren was making a request/suggestion. "So how about I go over to Luffy's ship and make sure they don't make any sudden moves, huh?" he asked in an unofficial tone.

"You just want to fight Luffy," Shauna accused, dropping her death glare at the female Strawhats. "And flirt with those girls I bet."

"Heh heh." Ren chuckled. He didn't, nor could he deny it.

"Just go," Captain Lilia said in a dark tone of voice.

"Captain are you- swwmhmmh uhh rwwwehh" Ren instantly covered Shauna's mouth with his hand.

"Are you crazy," Ren whispered frantically and his hand was kind of trembling. "Correcting her like this is like an ant begging a giant to squash it flat!"

Shauna pulled Ren's hand off her mouth and looked at her captain. Captain Lilia hadn't taken her eyes of the pirate ship, or more specifically Luffy, since it had come in to their sights. She just stood there motionless, with a sort of seriousness and determination in her eyes that she had never seen before. One thing was for sure it was probably a bad idea to annoy Aunt Lily in the mood she was in now. "Guess you're right. Thanks bro."

"No prob sis."

"Oh and Ren?"

"Yeah sis- Oww!" Shauna smacked Ren over the head leaving a very large bump on his head.

"Wash your hands before touching people idiot!" she rubbed her face furiously. "Seriously it smelt like a rotting fish hit me. Gross!"

Ren gave an annoyed stare, but said nothing as he rubbed his head. He crouched down, as if he was about to make a jump. "Well I'm off. If you plan on attacking give me some kind of signal, 'kay."

"Wait Ren!" called Shauna with hint of concern, which was extremely unusual.

Ren, noticing the unusual amount of concern his twin was showing for him, lingered in the crouching position, "You need something?"

"Be careful" she said sincerely. "And tell Luffy I said hi."

Ren smiled mischievously, "You're worried about little ol' me, big sister. I'm touched- owww!"

Once again, Shauna smacked her younger twin over the head. "Just go, dummy. Jeez this is what I get for being nice to you."

Ren didn't retort. He would've any other time, but he had something more important to do. He jumped and yelled "Moon Bounce!"

The strawhats eyes widened at what they saw. A teenage boy in a marines uniform was bouncing on the air as if it were solid. Sanji spoke first, "That's that Moon Bounce move those CP9 guys used against us at Enies Lobby."

"That's Ren!" Luffy said in shock. "I didn't know he knew that technique!"

"Heads up he's coming," Zoro warned as he unsheathed his swords.

Luffy's cousin Ren gracefully landed on the ship's main deck in a kneeling position. He slowly rose from his position with shadows over his eyes. The Strawhats took a moment to examine him. He was a tall man with slightly muscular arms, and raven hair even messier than Luffy's. His marine jacket was only half buttoned. Their first opinion he was a slob.

"Hi Luffy it's been a while!" he said in an all to happy voice and Luffy-like grin. His nonchalant attitude made almost all of the Strawhats fall over. All except Luffy who more or less expected a carefree entrance from his more laid-back cousin
