Steve's POV

"Well look at this here." Monet said reading the local paper "It seems Miss Rebecca's father is truly a prince from a faraway land, at least that's what the rumors say."

"Whag Ip Thag Aboug." Luffy grumbled "Aband Sanji and Sago."

"Listen moron." I growled "Eat, Sleep or get nervous, you can't do all three at once."

"Rebecca's Dad's the Soldier!" Luffy yelled "SNORE!"

"Just stay asleep." We all sighed.

"Aside from the fact that we knew that already." Monet laughed.

"Is he always this stupid?" Sugar asked pulling on his cheeks.

"Yeah pretty much." Lil nodded.

"I'm curious as to how that rumor started." Monet mentioned.

"It was me." Kyros rated himself out.

"Why do that?" I asked.

"The only people who know my true relation to Rebecca are The Royals, the Donquixote Family and the people in this room." Kyros explained "The citizens only know the nature of Rebecca's mother, so I started the rumor before people found out I was her Father."

"Why do that?" Lil said "She's your daughter, don't you love her?"

"Of course I do, that's why I did it." Kyros said "I have a dark background, I was never meant to marry into that family, so this is for the best."

"No it isn't!" Luffy yelled.

"Keep it down and mind your own business." I elbowed him.

"I wrote Rebecca a letter." Kyros said "It told her everything about me. She might hate my decisions but she's still a child, I don't want to sacrifice her future in the heat of the moment. King Riku understands as well."

"GRR!" Luffy grumbled.

He doesn't buy it at all!

"Luffy wipe that look off your face." I sighed.

"Purapurapura."

"Your little snail is ringing." Lil pointed out.

"Zoro-senpai!" Bartolomeo yelled throwing the door open "Wow Luffy-senpai is awake too! Wow there are so many pirates here, it's blinding, my eyes are gonna burn out form all their shining radiance!"

"Get to the point." Rose sighed.

"There's movement from the navy base camp!" he yelled "This place ain't safe no more! The Great General Tsuru and former Fleet Admiral Sengoku are here!"

"Alright, we best get out while we've still got a chance." I stood up "Everyone gather your stuff we're leaving."

"If you follow me I can take you to the east port." Bart said "Your allies are already in their places to assist."

Sugar's POV

"Why aren't you getting your things?" I asked Monet "There's not much time."

"I have no reason to go anywhere." She said "You are here, therefore I am the same. We've finally reunited."

"Pfft." I scoffed "What are you still doing here Big Sis? Get your stuff and go."

"I'm not abandoning you again." She told me.

"I told you, I don't need a babysitter." I looked at her "I don't need my big sister hovering over me when I'm an adult. Now get lost Sis."

"Sugar."

"Go with that band of idiots, you've got a bounty anyway you can't stay." I shrugged "Besides Monet, the last couple days recovering here, you've looked so happy. You've always lived in fear of where we grew up, in fear of Doflamingo, you don't need to be afraid to be happy. I can stay here by myself, I'm a big girl."

"You better not be planning to turn more people into toys." She scolded.

"Nah." I shook my head "I think I'll stay here, see if I can use my powers to fix up some of the broken buildings. I can turn more than people into toys, it's just that Doflamingo never had a need for that. I'd like to try and use these powers for good."

"Monet!"

I looked passed the doorframe and saw those two idiots standing there.

"You coming or not?!" Steve yelled.

"Come on let's go!" Luffy cheered.

"I…guess I am." She smiled.

For the first time in her life she's free to do what she wants, to see the world and learn all she can about it…go on big sis, go on and see the world, nothing needs to hold you back, soar unhindered.

Steve's POV

"Alright let's get going." I said.

"Bellamy can you stand?" Luffy asked shoving a meat hunk in his mouth.

"Stop stuffing your face and get ready to go!" I snapped.

"Heh, I could probably run." The blonde man said "Why didn't you just kill me, now I lost my chance to die."

"Strawhat said you were friends." Law shrugged "so I brought you along, if you're so keen on dying go do it someplace else."

"Enough fighting." Monet said putting her glasses on "We don't have time to argue. Let's hurry."

"She's right, I've got no intention of dying to the navy." Bellamy spat.

"Well I'll see you around." Sugar said leaning by the door "I'm heading to the castle, I'll see about buying you a few minutes, tell the dwarves to bring me the guns they steal I'll turn them into toys to make sure the Marines can't get them back."

"Let's go!" I yelled kicking the door open.

"It'll be over if Fujitora catches us!" Bartolomeo warned "Don't get left behind."

The second we got outside the Marines were firing on us from the flowers.

"Igloo Wall!"

Monet waved her arm and a wall of white snow rose up and blocked the shots.

"That won't hold forever let's hurry." She warned.

"Luffy!" I yelled "Stop standing still!"

"I've got something to take care of!" he yelled back "Go on ahead I'll catch up."

"That idiot." I sighed "Alright! Don't take long!"

"You're letting him go?" Robin asked.

"He'll get back in time." I smiled at her.

Getting to the port from Kyros house was mostly a breeze because the gladiators from the coliseum had already cleared a path for us.

"Luffy." I tapped my foot "stop taking so long or-!"

"Fujitora's here!" someone yelled.

"Or that's gonna happen." I hissed.

"AAHHH!" Usopp screamed running in a circle "This is it, it's over, LUFFY!"

"Shut up!" I growled.

"Law is gone too." Zoro said.

"Just great." I walked by "You guys go on I can hold him off for a bit."

"All of you stand back." I warned Bartolomeo and the rest "It's about to get hot in here."

I stared down the Admiral "Alright old man, I imagined the first time I'd defeat an Admiral was gonna be him but I can't let you by either."

"Hmm!" the man lifted his sword and the rubble from the town rose up around us.

"Damn." I hissed "You're going all out."

Even I can't stop an attack of that size.

I looked by Fujitora and saw Luffy running towards us.

Okay here we go.

"Luffy!" I yelled "We gotta go!"

"Right!"

The only way we're getting out of here is by stopping Fujitora so for that…

"RAHH!" I ran forward and pulled my fist back as Luffy threw a punch.

"Hellfire Fist!" "Elephant Gun!"

The two attacks collided with Fujitora in the middle.

"That'll keep him down for a bit." I smirked "Alright get going!"

I left Luffy behind for the moment and set off running with the others. All the ships were lined up to make a platform out to sea where the main escape ship was anchored. It was Orlumbus Yonta Maria, a huge mother ship bigger than giants. We boarded quickly and prepared to leave as Luffy caught up to the rest of us.

"This boat is huge!" Lil awed.

"Strawhat." The Giant Hajrudin spoke "I have four other crewmates that are Giants too, we are planning on gathering the remaining giants and bringing back the Giant Pirates that once shook the world."

"Giant Pirates?" I nodded "Certainly a force to be reckoned with."

"Wow cool!" Luffy cheered "I'd bet you'd be fun to fight."

"Don't encourage such a thing." I sighed.

"The golden age of Masters Dorry and Broggy could return." Usopp nodded.

"5." Monet nodded scribbling something down.

"My fleet and it's 56 ships will be of use." Orlumbus said.

"Luffyland!" Leo, one of the Tontattas jumped up "We got special permission from the chief to leave so please take us with you!"

"I might not be a match for you." Ideo commented "but when it comes to being a champion there's no other like me."

"I've decided to travel with him for a bit." Blue Gilly explained.

"Hey we're coming too!" Abdulla and Jeet snapped.

What are they getting at?

"I'm hitching a ride with this guy." Suleiman pointed at Cavendish.

"If you're gonna be on my ship at least call me captain!" Cavendish cried out "Oh and I'm still your senior so even if I've acknowledged you I'm still going to be more popular!"

"What are you going on about?" Luffy asked "Do whatever you want."

"I think we're a little out of the loop." I laughed "Could someone please explain?"

"Ah yes, we had discussions while in the castle the last few days." Orlumbus told us "We made some decisions so allow me to explain, we drew lots for the order."

"We'll start at the top, With 75 members, led by White Horse Cavendish the Beautiful Pirates.

"Second: The 56 member crew of the Barto Club led by The Cannibal Bartolomeo!"

"Third: The 1000 man Happo Navy under the leadership of Don Sai!"

"Fourth: The XXX Gym Marital Arts Alliance with 4 members under the supervision of Destruction Cannon Ideo!"

"Fifth: The 200 member Tontatta Tribe army led by their Captain Leo!"

Sixth: Currently with 5 Members the Newly reformed Giant Pirates, led by their Captain Hajrudin!"

"And Lastly Seventh: The Yonta Maria Grand Fleet and it's 4,300 members headed by me, Orlumbus!"

"By my math that's approximately…5,600 people." Monet smiled writing something down "Quite the force it seems you've amassed."

"I still don't get it." Luffy tilted his head.

"I do." I nodded "They want to work under you, remember how Whitebeard had all those divisions and commanders, well they want you to be there Whitebeard so to speak."

"But I don't wanna." Luffy said "I wanna be King of the Pirates with you not be Great with a bunch of other guys."

"Ugh…no." I shook my head "I'm not letting you dodge this completely; we'll need all the help we can get with how much trouble you always stir up. You wanna be King of the Pirates but you don't wanna be 'Great' do you understand the contradiction in that statement. Skip the whole showy cup bit if you want but you will acknowledge these men and allow them to follow you if they want. I mean they can go around on their own and just come help when we need them, I mean we've got that Vivre Card of you from Sabo, hand them a piece and it's all good."

"Fine." He pouted.

"That settles that, besides Luffy that's exactly what you would do if someone said no, tell them shut up and then do it anyway." I smirked "Everyone will just do their own thing and help if they want, now we have some things to celebrate."

"YEAH!"

"To our victory over Doflamingo!" I said raising a glass

"And to our new researcher Monet!" Luffy added.

"CHEERS!"
