Chapter 9: Uhh Ace, Sabo and stuff...

With Luffy

Luffy was currently sitting down in a lotus position in his quarters as he had finally finished the paperwork for the day and to say he was overwhelmed was an understatement he almost didn't want to be a commander because of the amount of paperwork. "Oi concentrate and forget about the paperwork you idiot" Tezca said in his mind talking to Luffy which just irritated him.

"I'm trying, it's not that easy. Why can't we go back to training to turn intangible on reflex and traveling through shadows and gravity control? I want to fly" Luffy said with a tick mark on his forehead.

"Because we are in a part of the world where everybody knows haki and that ability is not as useful here as for the others you have a decent grip on them considering we have only trained for a couple of weeks also it's not that hard to master. We have to develop your other abilities and the Gura Gura no Mi as well. The best way to do that is by being able to access your dark dimension so you can train your abilities there as you won't destroy anything and time passes a little bit slower there than here so it's crucial for you getting stronger." Tezca finished explaining.

Luffy now completely understood why Tezca was being so hard on him on being able to open and access his dimension at will he could train in his dimension all he wanted without destroying anything and apparently train longer while less time passed in the real world. "So what is the time difference between here and the dimension?" Luffy asked as he wanted to make sure.

"It depends on how well you develop the dimension and develop your powers, but from the very start 1 day in the dimension is the equivalent to 2 days in the real world" Tezca responded to which Luffy just nodded as was excited on how much stronger he could get. "Also you might want to get the idea of building your own little ship".Luffy was just confused on why he would need his own ship. "I meant a little boat you could use for example that it operates with the gravity powers so when you get sent on missions or just to travel. It wouldn't hurt having your own little boat and you also have that idea that you want to set out at 17 to go from your own crew that is going to help you achieve your dreams so you have to have a way to set off from here" Tezca clarified.

Luffy know understood and he agreed that it was a good idea he continued to focus on opening his dimension as he had been trying for weeks now he continued to sit for what seemed to be an hour until his body turned into darkness even though he never attempted to turn he opened his eyes and was about to say something but notice Tezca had stars in his yes so he just guessed he was doing something right he continued to focus and then noticed the darkness was now seeping out and was covering the area forming a symbol around him it suddenly came back in and his body started turning into what seemed to be like a vortex and started absorbing himself disappearing.

When that was done he looked around and noticed that he was somewhere he had never been before. (Looks like Gojo's domain expansion from Jujutsu Kaisen). Luffy stood up marveling at how everything looked before a sudden scream from Tezca brought him out of his daze. "I'm finally back! I haven't been here in so long!" he said with stars in his eyes running around.

"What is this place?" Luffy asked confused as he looked forward at what seemed to be a black hole.

"This is my domain where I mostly stayed and lived if you ever fight somebody here your darkness powers will be significantly stronger but people with strong enough haki can block your hits, but the really important this is that if you manage to bring a devil fruit eater in here they will not be able to use it they would only be able to use haki the only other person alive who has a domain is Huitzi." Tezca said while running around and jumping and he noticed Luffy looking forward at the black hole. "Looks cool doesn't it?" he said, getting Luffy's undivided attention now.

"Yeah" Luffy simply said.

"It's called a singularity or a black hole I wouldn't expect someone as dumb as you to know what it was" he folllowed trying to get Luffy mad which worked but quickly started talking again "It's something you can do if you develop your control over gravity to a certain point. Well you would have to pour a lot of darkness out and force the gravity on top of that condensing it then the gravitational pull on it would increase tremendously the pull would be so strong not even light would even be able to escape. You can do it without awakening your fruit but it will have restrictions like how many you can make and the gravitational pull but if you awaken it you will be able to make significantly more powerful ones." he finished and looked over at Luffy who had a huge grin on his face.

"Oi Tezca, have I ever told you that you're awesome" Luffy finished now laughing with stars in his eyes almost as big as when he saw the sea king meat.

"Of course I'm awesome, what do you expect?" Tezca said, crossing his arms with a grin at the praise.

"You have another domain which will make you and your haki stronger instead of your devil fruit thats Mictlans's domain though (God of Death) " Tezca finished and Luffy just nodded and watched Tezca focus some of his power before they dissappeared.

Luffy just had more stars in his eyes "It looks so cool it even has a shrine" (Looks like Sukunas domain expansion from Jujutsu Kaisen)

"You can basically do whatever you want in here as you develop your abilities the more things you will be able to do in here, but for now you can use both for training or storage" Tezca finished.

Luffy just nodded "So when can we start training?" Luffy asked with a smile on his face.

"Later right now we should go back. You need rest to make any progress. Now that you have accessed it just teleport yourself back" Tezca finished and Luffy nodded doing what he did before he started swirling disappearing and reappearing back into the real world. "I am going to help you with your devil fruits. Your brothers can help you develop your haki '' Tezca followed, to which Luffy agreed before laying down and falling asleep.

1 Year Later- Luffy 14, Ace & Sabo 17

Dawn Island

"Ahhh, It's finally time for us to set out Sabo!" Ace said with a smile on his face he was wearing an unbuttoned yellow dress shirt with an orange hat with 2 smileys on it on smiling and the other frowning, black shorts a blue pouch belted around his left leg, a belt and a dagger strapped onto it, black boots and a green and black bag on his back. "Are you sure you don't want to be a pirate Sabo?" he asked his blonde brother.

"Nah, I'll pass. I'm going to become a revolutionary and change the world, but you know if anything happens because of how hotheaded you can be I'll be there no matter what" answered Sabo he was wearing his usual fancy clothes and his top hat with goggles around it.

"How did you even get in contact with them?" asked Ace as he still didn't understand how he managed to communicate with them.

"Well I asked Garp if he could get me in contact with Luffy and he did and gave me his transponder snail number and then I called and asked Luffy if he could get in contact with his dad so he did and told him that I wanted to be a revolutionary" Sabo finished.

"YOU TALKED TO LUFFY AND DIDN'T TELL ME!" yelled Ace grabbing Sabo by his coat smoke coming from his head.

"Well when I came down to the village to call Luffy I asked you and you said you didn't want to," Sabo said trying to calm down Ace while Makino was just giggling.

"Well you should've told me you were going to talk to Luffy" Ace said letting Sabo go before jumping down onto his little boat and as he did a ship come visible in the horizon.

"I guess my ride is here," Sabo chuckled. "Oi Ace before you go are you sure you don't want to know any information on Luffy? You haven't even wanted to see his wanted poster since you saw the first one" Sabo asked as Ace had wanted to not know anything about their little brother as he wanted to know everything when they finally met.

"Nah, I'll pass. I'll figure it out after I make a name for myself I'll beat him up and then the supposed strongest person in the world" Ace said, making Sabo's sweat drop down the back of his head at the irony.

Ace said his goodbyes to both Makino, Sabo, Dadan and the bandits had said they did not want to come but they both knew they were watching from a distance "Take care Makino. Bye Sabo make sure you get a girlfriend" he said before he set sail leaving behind a laughing Makino and a flushed and irritated Sabo.

Couple of minutes later the ship arrived at the coast where Sabo and Makino were still standing. "Are you Sabo?" called out a female voice. When the 2 looked up they saw someone sitting on the railing. She had orange short hair with a newsboy cap with gold goggles, a pink shirt with a frilly collar, a maroon short skirt, and black thigh-high stockings with brown high heeled boots.

Sabo immediately had a blush on his cheeks once he saw the girl that Makino did not miss "I guess it won't be too hard to get a girlfriend now" Makino whispered in his ear as she giggled as Sabo even got a bigger blush on his face.

Sabo just shook his head before finally being able to speak again "Yeah that's me" he replied and the girl simply just smiled.

"Then you should board the ship, we can't stay here that long" spoke another person from the ship. Once Sabo saw him his eyes were wide open with stars as he finally saw a fishman he had always considered them awesome and wanted to meet a new one and Luffy talking about Fishman island years ago just made his curiosity bigger.

"COOL! You're a real fishman" Sabo said now acting like a fangirl. Which made everybody there sweatdrop but the fishman smiled at not being discriminated against by a human.

"Yes my name is Hack" the fishman replied and Sabo hugged Makino saying his goodbyes before jumping on the ship and soon anchor was raised and the ship was off Sabo stayed looking back at the island until it was out of sight before going to look for a person on the ship as he needed to make a call.

He came across Koala and immediately had a light brush "Um do you have a transponder snail? I need to call my little brother" Sabo said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Aww you have a little brother. Yeah we have some but I have to be with you or somebody else for now because you know to make sure you don't leak any information and you are new so we have to make sure you are trustworthy even though Dragon-san personally sent us to get you" she said as Sabo nodded before following her.

*Purupurupuru* *Purupuru* *Ka'chack*

"Hello, this is Monkey D. Luffy, who is this?" spoke Luffy.

When Koala heard this she paled a little as she heard the name and saw the snail which now had a straw hat on it's head and a scar under it's left eye. She knew who that person was as he was in the newspaper a lot. Sabo just smiled before speaking "Oi Luffy it's me Sabo" he said in a happy tone.

"Sabo!" Luffy happily said in a cheerful tone. "How are you? What are you doing?" he asked.

"I'm good, I got picked up from the island some time ago" he responded.

"So you and Ace finally set out, huh. Hopefully I'll see you guys again soon and if that shitty dad of mine does anything let me know so I can go there and beat him up" Luffy said in a laughing tone.

When Koala heard this she was confused as to what he meant. "I don't think Dragon-san would do anything," Sabo said, rubbing the back of his head but just made Koalas jaw drop at what she heard.

"EEHHHHH. Dragon has a son?!" she spoke, getting the attention of Luffy and Sabo.

"Oops probably shouldn't have said that I didn't know you had another person in the room" he laughed. "Eh Sabo what is she doing in your room have you already got a girlfriend after spending less than a day on the ship I don't want to be an uncle already so slow down" Luffy said in a suggestive tone making both Sabo and Koala have a deep blush.

"You idiot" both of them said out loud.

"Shishi, just kidding" Luffy laughed on the other side of the line.

Sabo just sighed "Thank you for reaching out to your dad and giving me the opportunity to be a revolutionary Luffy" Sabo spoke.

"Don't worry about it, that's what brothers are for as long as you treat me to some meat when we meet again" Luffy said, making Sabo's sweat drop as he knew how much Luffy could eat especially meat. The 2 continued to talk for sometime until Sabo finally had to go and they said their goodbyes and hung up on the line.

"So the 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates is your little brother and he is Dragon-san's son" Koala said, still absorbing all the information.

"Hehe, yeah we met when we were little and he stayed on the island for 2 years before leaving, but I would appreciate it if you didn't say anything " Sabo responded. Koala just nodded in understanding as it was none of her business and it would also not be good if people found out Dragon had a son.

{III}

Luffy was currently in Curiels and Fossas workshop working on the engine that would work with his gravity manipulation. He was almost done as he had been working on it for 6 months and with the help of Tezca he had been developing it to where it wouldn't break and the higher pressure of gravity he applied the faster it would go while working on the engine he had had asked Jiru to help him build the boat which was made of the treasure tree adam and had seastone on the bottom of it and it could hold 3 people at a time. "I should be finished with the engine soon and after that all I have to do is paint it and set up a sail so we can still move even when I'm not using my powers" Luffy said out loud leaning back in his seat.

"And what color are you going to paint?" Jiru asked.

"Black with some Red maybe I'll change it later" Luffy said sighing as he was tired.

"Well we should be finished by the end of the week and you can finally take it out although I don't know why you wanted a boat since you learned to fly" Jiru said.

"Well sometimes I just want to lay back and let the sea take me" Luffy said. "Don't worry since you helped me I'll change the gravity on you so you can fly later" Luffy said as he knew anyone who wasn't Marco immediately agreed to the condition. Jiru simply grinned before both of them continued to work for some time until they made their way to the deck for a break.

When they got there all of the commanders were sitting down next to pops Jiru went to go sit and Luffy was about to follow until he saw News Coos and called it over and got a newspaper. He started reading walking toward where everybody was until he saw a poster and suddenly screamed in happiness getting everybody's attention.

"What is it yoi?" asked Marco with a raised eyebrow at why Luffy was so happy.

"They got bounties!" Luffy said out loud making the commanders and Whitebeard more confused Luffy noticed and just showed them the poster.

Wanted!

Dead or Alive!

Portgas D. Ace

Epithet: Fire Fist Ace

Bounty:40,000,000

Wanted!

Dead or Alive!

Sabo

Bounty: 35,000,000

"It also says that they ate devil fruit which is new. Ace ate the Mera Mera no Mi and Sabo ate the Kyofu Kyofu no Mi so he is a wind man, shishishi. Sabo said before that if he ate a devil fruit he would want it to be something with lightning but his wind logia would be superior to lightning and Ace's fruit and lightning would cancel each other but it is superior to Sabo's wind" Luffy said.

The commanders just smiled as they saw how happy Luffy was but were still curious on who the 2 were. "That's a good starting bounty, but who are they Luffy?" asked Thatch.

"Those are the 2 brothers I made in the East Blue see both of them even have the same necklace as me'' he said pointing at the posters and the commanders nodded as they saw. "They always talked about being pirates and being free although Sabo ended up becoming a revolutionary, but me and Ace are probably going to cross paths soon I mean he did say he wanted to be big to where everybody knew his name so I wouldn't be surprised if he challenged pops" Luffy sighed which made the other commanders just laugh.

"GURARA, there are always brats who want to make a name for themselves" Whitebeard laughed "We will see what happens if he comes to challenge us maybe he will even become my son" he said putting a smile on Luffy's face at the possibility.

"Luffy, when are you going to take off those gravity bracelets yoi?" asked Marco looking at the black and purple bracelets on his wrist.

"Whenever I'm in a serious fight against somebody strong and need to take them off their good for training" Luffy simply replied.

Couple of Months Later

"Oi captain there's a marine ship close to us" said a man with a mask over his eyes he had spiky long light blue hair wearing a coat which stretches down to his knees.

Ace looked with a mouth stuffed with food he was about to talk before he fell asleep all of a sudden making everybody sweat drop until moments later when he woke back up and swallowed his food "Why is it my problem? And why are they here, isn't this supposed to be a lawless area?" asked Ace.

"Well they don't seem like the good marines from what I saw they had prisoners and mentioned they were going to sell them as slaves" finished Masked Deuce who is the first crew member of the Spade pirates.

When Ace heard this he was serious as he, Sabo, and Luffy all hated the idea of slavery. When they were all together at Dawn island Luffy sometimes told them about how there were so many slaves on the Sabaody Archipelago and as soon as he arrived here he saw how true it was but he was advised not to do anything as it would draw too much attention. "Then let's go have some fun" Ace said as he finished the food and walked out the bar with his crew following behind.

They walked for a couple of minutes until they saw the marine ship who had set anchor. They got closer until they couldn't get any closer without getting spotted as they wanted to get this over with his as fast as they could without drawing to much attention Ace stood up "Stay here until the fighting starts" he said before jumping away and then on top of the ship he could have destroyed the majority of the ship with his devil fruit powers but that would most likely kill of the slaves and well that would ruin one of the reasons he was here.

As soon as he jumped on the railing of the ship all of the marines were on alert as they recognized the rookie he had been a pirate for a year and had reached Sabaody "Yo how's it going" he said before he started attacking "Higan" he called out pointing both index and middle fingers forward like guns before shooting bullets of compressed flame forward hitting a good amount of the marine soldiers.

As soon as the spade pirates saw the attack the rest rushed the ship and started battle. The battle did not last long as none of the low rank marines could even hurt Ace. The crew went down to the holding cells were they saw a lot of people ranging from men, kids, and woman Ace and the rest of his crew quickly started opening up all of the doors and then they finally went for the last cell which was at the end and saw a woman who was chained up from the arms and legs tied down on a table.

Ace was going forward to open the door to the cell until he touched it and instantly felt weak "Damn thats seastone" Ace said as he fell down feeling weak.

"I got it" spoke Deuce before taking the keys and opening the door and going to unchain the person. "She seems to be knocked out" he spoke up before carrying her out of the cell.

"Let's take her back to the ship until she gets up and we'll see what she wants to do" Ace said getting back up Deuce just nodded as the rest of the crew all walked out and headed towards their ship.

{III}

It had been a couple of hours since the crew had been back at the ship and Ace was taking a nap until being woken up by someone yelling his name when he went towards the railing and looked down he saw a marine he was pretty familiar with "What do you want Isuka?" Ace asked, looking at the female marine who had been chasing him for quite some time.

"Come off your ship I want to talk to you" she responded.

Ace was curious as to why she wanted to talk to him he didn't dislike her as she was a good marine in his books but to make sure he brings with them in case something happened and he soon hoped down and walked with her way from the ship to talk.

The 3 had been walking for a couple of hours just talking until Isuka had been called and had to go. Ace and Deuce kept walking and ended up in the slums of Sabaody they saw the kids starving and decided to give their kids food. They were with the kids for a couple of minutes until they noticed Isuka and another marine approaching them.

"Who are you and why are you here ?" Ace asked the new marine who was with Isuka as he did not recognize him.

"I am Vice Admiral Draw as for why I am here. I have been sent here to look for you" the vice admiral responded making Ace raise his eyebrow as to why he was looking for him. The vice admiral pulled out an envelope which made him even more confused until Isuka spoke up and said that it was from the Five Elders and was a letter offering him the chance to join the warlords.

"I refuse. I don't like the Shichibukai system" Ace said but noticed the grin on the vice admiral's face.

"I can agree with you on that pirate scum" he said before infusing his leg in armament haki and kicking Ace catching him off guard and sending him flying back, Deuce quickly grabbed the kids who were nearby and carried them away.

Ace quickly got back up 'Damn I heard of armament haki and it being a way to hurt logias but I did not expect it to hurt like that' he thought to himself before getting up shooting flames from his palm toward the vice admiral, but was shocked when he reveals flamethrowers under his arms he used them against Ace's attack but what he saw next made him panic as he saw the flames light up the slums and soon everything was catching fire "SHIT!" He yelled out loud before going to help the children. He tried to control the flames and put them out but couldn't as they are too strong, he was soon joined by Isuka as they both started to get the children away while Deuce had gone back to hold Draw off.

Deuce held off and punched the vice admiral across the face but it did no damage and was just kicked back through a wall. The vice admiral quickly rushed back in but Deuce managed to dodge and quickly removed Draw's fuel tank from his flamethrower but was caught and about to get punched again until Ace came from behind punching Draw forcing him to let go off Deuce.

"The kids are safe. I'll take care of this asshole" Ace said before going back in to fight and overwhelmed Draw in terms of fighting but could not do damage due to the armament haki. Draw grabs Ace by the throat and slams him down. "You're a coward doing all this to children just for capturing a single pirate" Ace tried his best to talk but was having a hard time as he was being held down.

"Burning down innocents does not matter as long as you take pirate scum out of this world" Draw said out loud. Draw pulled his arm back about to finish Ace but before he could the fuel tank which had been removed and left on the ground exploded sending both of them flying back injuring them.

"Then you are nothing but a coward and even worse scum" Ace yells out before rushing back in and overwhelming Draw in combat once more but this time managing to cause damage as he is unknowingly using armament haki. Deuce looked on surprised as Ace was using that sort of haki whie Isuka was down crying as the person that had saved her just revealed he saw the deaths of innocents as a good price for the death of pirates.

Draw was now one one knee bleeding from all of the damage he had taken; he was about to get back up until he saw Ace pull his fist back. "Hiken" Ace yelled out before putting as much of his power he could into it and hit the vice admiral head on and sent him flying back. Ace fell one knee breathing hard as he felt exhausted.

{III}

"I guess this is goodbye" spoke Isuka to Ace and Deuce as she was going to take the kids to the navy base and Ace was going on to the New World.

"I guess so I want to leave before getting anymore attention" Ace said as he said his goodbyes to the kids and the marine that he had gotten quite close to. As they were walking back to their ship they got intercepted by a squad of marines. "Shit I'm still tired from that fight" Ace hissed out.

"Yeah well we got to keep fighting" Deuce said getting ready for another fight. Ace and Deuce got in their stances and the marines started rushing until a blast of power washed over everybody and knocked the marines all out and made the hair on Ace and Deuce's neck all point up and on edge.

"Who the hell?" Ace said as he felt the power wash over then they saw a man walking towards them. He had white hair and a white beard with round glasses, he was wearing a simple shirt, shorts, and sandals. "Who the hell are you?" asked Ace on edge as he noticed the man was paying attention to him.

The man just looked at Ace until he started laughing "Hahaha, I am just doing a favor for someone" he finished.

"And who would that be?" Ace asked curiously as he wondered who was looking out for him.

"One of the people who has the same necklace as you. He came here a couple months ago and asked me if I could keep an eye out for his brother and help him if he got into too much trouble, he said you were hot headed and stubborn and got yourself into bad situations" the man finished. Ace's eyes widened in realization.

"So you know my little brother?" asked Ace to which the man simply nodded but made Deuces eyes widen as he didn't know his captain had brothers. "And where is he now?" he asked.

"Somewhere in the New World or maybe Fishman island he spends a lot of time there visiting his other family and waiting for someone to return, but he spends most of it looking for somebody" the man simply finished.

Ace simply nodded "Well Thank you for helping me but when I see him again I'm going to beat him up. Him looking over me makes me feel like I'm a little kid. I'm already 18 and he's barely about to turn 15." Ace said which made the man laugh.

"Well I don't know about you beating him up, but good luck on your journey I'm sure you will run into him soon" the man said before walking off. 'So that is Roger's son they do look alike' Rayleigh thought to himself walking off.

"So you have a brother?" Deuce asked as they headed to the ship.

"Yeah he's my little brother but he's a monster even though he's younger when we were together he beat me a lot more than I could beat him, but I'm pretty sure that I can beat him now" Ace said as they walked off.

{III}

The Spade pirates were now on Fishman island relaxing on the deck as they had been here for a couple days and were going to set off as the ship had barely finished being coated. They were about to set off but suddenly the door to the infirmary was swung open. "Who the hell are you and where the hell am I?" asked the woman they had saved at Sabaody she had long light pink hair purple eyes and anti-eyebrow below her right eye.

"Oi calm down you were being held in a cell at a marine ship on Sabaody so we rescued you and since we didn't know what to do with you we just brought you on to our ship and treated you. So what is your name?" Ace responded.

The woman relaxed a little but was still on guard. "My name is Jewelry Bonney" she responded Ace was about to say something until he heard her stomach growl and everybody broke out into laughter.

"Hahaha seems like you're hungry so let's go onto the island and eat before we set off" Ace said as he and the crew walked off Bonney on guard following behind them.

When they got to a restaurant and started eating to say they were shocked was an understatement the woman was eating out the entire restaurant by herself it looked like she ate as much or if not more than Ace. "Oi Ace I think you got some competition now" said a crewmember making everyone laugh at their captain whose mouth was full with meat.

Ace simply chuckled but blushed when he looked over at the woman. "So what am I going to do?" asked Bonney, catching Ace off guard with the question.

"Um I don't know you didn't get up on Sabaody and we couldn't stay there so we just brought you with us" Ace responded "But I mean you could come with us or stay here and wait to go back" Ace followed.

Bonney thought about it she already knew they were pirates as when they were walking away she turned around to look at the ship she noticed the jolly roger she didn't mind being a pirate and the captain seemed trustworthy and made her feel safe for some reason "I guess I'm a pirate now but you better have enough food" she said stuffing more pizza in her mouth.

'She's like a glutton' Ace thought in his mind but went back to eating and soon there was a eating contest between the 2 which ended in a tie and the crew having to carry the both as they were complaining they ate too much. The crew were walking back to their ship taking a route they had never been through before as this was their last day there it was uneventful until Ace saw a flag which grabbed his attention.

He suddenly hopped off the back of his crew member who was carrying him "So that's Whitebeards flag" said Ace to himself grabbing the attention of his crew curious as to what he was going to do "Jujika" Ace called out and placed his index fingers in a cross and shooting a cross shaped column of fire forward burning Whitebeards flag.

The Spade pirates and all of the fishmen who had watched what happened all had stopped everything they were doing and looking at Ace with wide eyes and their face pale as all color seemed to disappear from their shock and fear. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" yelled Bonney as she had barely joined the crew and the first thing his captain does is burn the flag of one of the emperors and the strongest man in the world.

"I'm going to take Whitebeard's head either way" Ace said before walking off leaving a shocked crew behind before they started running to catch up and get on the ship as they did not want to stay there any longer after the stunt their captain pulled off.

"Did you see what that human did?" spoke a tall blue fishman with, and "02" tattooed on his chest.

"Yeah we should tell Captain Hordy maybe he will make his move so we can take over this island and get our revenge on those filthy humans" responded a much smaller red fishman who had sharp teeth. The other fishman nodded before they walked off towards the fishman district.

{III}

Couple of Hours Later

Luffy was currently getting things ready for a trip in his quarters. "Oi Tezca, do you think I should take a kimono?" asked Luffy.

"How am I supposed to know it's not like I've ever been there" Tezca simply answered.

"Your useless for advice" answered Luffy which just made Tezca have a tick mark on his forehead and they started arguing but were stopped when Luffy heard a knock on the door.

"Luffy you in there yoi?" asked Marco knocking on the door bringing Luffy and Tezca out of the argument they were having in Luffy's head.

"Yeah I'm here" Luffy answered and soon Marco opened the door and came in. "You need something glowing turkey?" Luffy asked trying to irritate Marco.

"Hahaha funny little monkey, but I came to see if you could do something," said Marco, getting Luffy's attention. "Can you go and see what's happening on Fishman island. Fukaboshi recently called us and said there was an issue with a pirate crew that occurred. He didn't say what specifically but apparently something happened and since you were already going out on a trip I thought you could and check" Marco finished saying.

"Yeah I'll go. I wanted to see how Shira was doing either way" Luffy said before using his devil fruit powers, opening a hole in the air before throwing his bag into it to store it in his dimension.

"How long is going to take you to get there?" Marco asked.

"Around 5 days since we are not really that close" Luffy answered before getting up. They both exited the room and walked toward the deck so Luffy could start saying his goodbyes. "Bye everyone. Thanks for taking care of the paperwork Thatch" said Luffy before darkness started flowing out of his body forming a portal on the side of the ship and out falling his boat he then jumped on it before using his gravity powers so it would take off leaving behind a furious Thatch as he was stuck with the paperwork.

{III}

Couple Days Later

"What are you doing Hody?" asked Jimbei as he was chained down in the plaza by Fishman. He had recently come back as the first prince had called and said something happened but he was not expecting that he would be ambushed by fishmen as soon as he returned but what shocked him even more is that Otohime had returned but was chained up as well.

"Jahahaha, I am taking over this island the stupid queen being back is just a bonus. She almost killed me when she saw me and what I was doing but all it takes is to have swords to her children's throat and threaten to end their lives before she turns into a coward" Hordy laughed in the middle of the plaza being surrounded by thousands of fishmen.

"Why are you doing this Hody?" asked Otohime as she looked forward with tears in her eyes at her children all chained up and Shirahoshi who was next to her who had tears in her eyes looking at her bloodied brothers.

"Because all of you are cowards and idiots. You try to befriend humans and live together as if we are equals, but WE ARE NOT we are superior in every way we can live in both land and water while they can't and we will kill humans to where they bow before us like the inferior beings they are" Hody yelled out loud earning cheers from the Fishmen.

"And what will you do when the good old man Whitebeard finds out about what you did?He will chase you all down and Luffy-kun will not stop looking for you until you are all dead if you hurt his family!" yelled out Jimbei which made Otohime look down when she heard her son's name as she did not know how he would feel about her leaving all of them. Luffy and him had gotten closer ever since Luffy had become a commander and he saw how deeply he cared about his family and how ruthless he could be to anyone who threatened and hurt them.

"We will just kill them! They are just humans. We are a crew of 50,000 fishmen and more will join us, jahahaha" Hody still laughed.

"You can't kill them, you are weak! You are signing a death sentence and when Luffy-kun finds you after what you have done he will make sure you suffer before you die you should stop this right now Hody!" yelled Jimbei once again trying to end this before it got even more out of hand.

"Jahahaha, we will see after all you are nothing but a human lap dog aren't you Jimbei" Hody laughed and mocked Jimbei. "And the queen is nothing but a hypocrite she always said to be peaceful with humans so they could live without discrimination but when one killed her idiot of a husband she killed the human in his cell out of hatred then quickly fled the island like a coward" Hody finished as Otohime looked down in shame as it was true.

"I fled because I knew I made a mistake after I killed the human. I let hatred get the better of me and I couldn't stay here as I was not worthy to rule the island, and I still am not when I went against everything I said. I left to get stronger so I could protect my children so they could be safe" Otohime finished head still down in shame.

"Well that's going good for you is it not I will kill your sons in front of your and your daughters eyes then Vander Decken might kill her depending on her answer to marry him or not, but that wouldn't be enough for you. I won't kill you until I kill that bastard of a human you call your son I will torture him in front of your eyes than end his life why you watch everything, jahaha" Hody laughed mocking Otohime.

"Don't you dare touch any of my children!" Otohime yelled out trying to break out of the chains but got slammed into the ground by fishman who were standing behind her

Hody kept on laughing as he grabbed a sword and walked forward to Fukaboshi. "I will kill him right here so everyone who is watching will know that we now rule this island" Hody finished while the fishman watching from atop of the reef walls stayed there helpless not being to do anything as they would all be killed.

"Don't hurt my big brother" yelled Shirahoshi as Hody kept getting closer.

"Or what? You cannot do anything. The only reason you are not dead right now is because I don't feel like dealing with Vander Decken when he gets here he is going to take care of you and do whatever he wants" Hody said as he kept walking.

Hody raised the sword up with a smug grin on his face ignoring the yelling of Otohime, Jimbei, and Shirahoshi he brought down the sword but before he could cut off Fukaboshis head he was kicked and sent flying back crashing through the reef walls. Luffy grabbed the chains and broke them then grabbed and put Fukaboshi down on the ground and then doing the same with Ryuboshi and Manboshi before spreading darkness on the ground and pulling them both into the dimension so they would be safe.

He quickly disappeared in a burst of speed before appearing beside the fishman who were behind Jimbei, and his mother and little sister and knocking them all out. He quickly broke the chains of all 3 of them. "You alright Shira?" he said before floating up a little bit to wipe the tears from his little sister's eyes to which Shirahoshi just nodded.

"Oi Jimbei what happened? From what Marco told me they said it had to do with pirates not a rebellion" Luffy said as he came back down to the ground.

"The inhabitants of the fishmen district are throwing a rebellion as they want to kill all humans there hate is rooted deep into them" Jimbei responded.

Otohime stood up and was about to say something but was cut off as Luffy started talking "Let's deal with things here and we can all talk together after mom" he said smiling which made Otohime a little relieved as she saw in his eyes that he held no hatred or disappointment towards her.

"So the bastard son decides to come'", spoke Hody as he came walking through the rubble bleeding from the mouth. "Now it just makes it easier to kill you all, but can you really claim him as your son when he is a human, the same species that killed your husband Otohime" said Hody with a grin on his face.

"You're a liar" spoke Shirahoshi, grabbing everybody's attention. "It was you who killed my father. Megalo saw everything and told me what you did, you killed him then framed the human", Shirahoshi finished crying, making everybody's eyes widen.

"You killed my husband" said Otohime in a distraught voice and picked up her trident but before she could go forwards Luffy held her back.

"Don't just rush in mom the others wouldn't even let you touch him they would all attack you as soon as you got close" Luffy said holding back a furious Otohime but was surprised at how strong she was.

"Bahohoho, what happened here?" came a voice grabbing everyone's attention.

"Vander Decken",said Jimbei disdain in his voice, which immediately grabbed Luffy's attention as he heard the name he quickly looked up and saw the fishmen on top of Wadatsumi. Luffy balled his fist in anger as he had been looking for Vander Decken as he was the one who kept Shirahoshi from being free.

"Well I'm here to get the answer from my Shirahoshi so she can be my wife, bahohoho" Vander Decken laughed which made both Luffy and Otohime both seeth in rage at what he said before the could say anything Shiarahoshi spoke.

"You're not my type" she yelled which made Decken stop laughing.

"Then you can die!" he yelled out before he pulled out 2 axes and threw them at Shirahoshi but before they could hit Luffy raised his hand and made a wall of darkness in front of Shirahoshi which intercepted the axes and absorbed them.

"Oi I've been looking for you" Luffy said looking at Decken. "You're the reason my little sister has been suffering and has been trapped in a room" he said in a furious tone.

"Enough of this kill them all" Hody yelled out and quickly the fishmen started rushing forward going to attack but before they could reach Luffy released a wave of conquerors haki knocking out all 50,000 fishmen out.

"Jimbei can you take care of his commanders?" Luffy asked, to which Jimbei nodded.

"I'm taking care of Hody," Otohime said as she walked forward to which Luffy just sighed but understood.

"Then I'll take care of Decken," Luffy said before he made swords out of darkness and sent them forward to Decken but instead of hitting him head on they changed and turned into chains and wrapped around Wadatsumi and slammed him into the ground. Jimbei quickly went forward to engage the commanders leaving Luffy behind with Shirahoshi. "Oi Shira can you do me a favor and take care of your brothers" Luffy said as he spread his darkness and out of it came the 3 princes to which Shirahoshi just nodded.

Otohime vs Hody

"I'll kill you bitch" Hody said before sending forward water bullets which Otohime easily dodged as she was always gifted in observation haki. Otohime thrusted her trident forward but was blocked by Hody's own trident but Otohime quickly infused her leg in armament haki and kicked Hody across the face.

"That pesky ability that mermaids have that allow them to change between their tails and legs that just makes you a fake" Hody said before stuffing his mouth with some energy steroids and rushing back in to attack but Otohime dodged.

The 2 kept trading blows, Otohime infusing parts of her body in armament so she wouldn't take that much damage as her body is weak naturally. "I'm not going to lose to you Hody. I left to get strong so I could protect the people I care about" Otohime said, pushing Hody back and infusing her trident in armament and thrusting it forward, managing to stab it into his shoulder.

Hody screamed at the pain before managing to punch her back "I'll kill you and everybody you care about Otohime!" Hody yelled as he stuffed his mouth with energy steroids again and they both rushed back to fight.

Luffy vs Decken

Luffy jumped on top of Wadatsumi where Decken was at. "So you're the pedophile who has been keeping my little sister trapped in her room" Luffy with narrowed eyes at Decken.

"Bahohoho, it wouldn't have happened if she had just said yes to marrying me" Decken laughed which Luffy made as he quickly rushed him and hit him across the face with a haki infused punch. "You human brat take this" Decken said as threw an axe that went directly towards Luffy but did no damage as it went through him.

"You touched me but that doesn't mean you can do damage to me" Luffy said before rushing in again and kicking Decken through the reef wall. 'Mom looks like she can take off Hody and Jimbei looks like he's doing fine' Luffy thought to himself as he walked off in the direction towards where he had sent Decken.

He saw more knives and and axes head his way but paid them no mind and just let them go through him he unsheathed one of his swords before sending forward a slash attack towards Decken cutting him across the back "I'm going to kill you but not here in front of people Decken" he said as and dragged him into his dimension.

"Where am I?" Decken said, trying to get up.

"You're in my domain" said Luffy with his sword in his hand "I'm going to spare you and make it quick" Luffy said, and before Decken could react his head was cut off. "I don't like killing, but after how you made my sister suffer you deserve it. You're lucky enough that I made it quick. I'll throw you out of here when I leave this place so nobody sees you"" Luffy said to himself as he looked down at the body of the fishman before engulfing it in darkness.

When Luffy went back to the real world he saw that Jimbei had minor injuries but had defeated all of the remaining officers of Hody's group, and he saw his mother had mild injuries walking away from what seemed to be a defeated Hody.

Luffy walked towards Shirahoshi as his mother was walking towards her but quickly disappeared in a burst of speed and appeared behind Otohime with his sword brought up in a defensive stance as Hody came from behind and bit down on the sword with his jaw and shattered it 'Bastard!' Luffy thought before slamming Hody to the ground and making a quake bubble encompassing his head and using the devil fruit destroying his brain, killing him.

Luffy sighed as he looked at his shattered sword "I guess I finally have a reason to look for a higher grade sword. At Least the same rank as Sulu" he said to himself before sheathing what was left back in its scabbard and walking over to where everybody else was.

"You should have made sure he wouldn't be able to get up mom" Luffy said in a playful tone. "Oi Shira you can finally be free again Decken won't bother you again. Well let's get them to a doctor" Luffy finished.

{III}

It had been a couple of hours since everything had ended and Otohime, Shirahoshi, Jimbei, and Luffy were now inside the palace while the princes were still sleeping exhausted from their injuries.

"I'm sorry I left my children," Otohime said while looking at her kids.

"It's ok mom I know it wasn't easy saying you wanted to be friends and co-exist with humans then believing it was us who killed your husband then killing him going against everything you said, but what matters now is that you are able to look past your hatred when you didn't kill Hody you proved it and now you're finally back and we can spend time together" Luffy said smiling at his mother happy that she was back.

"It's ok mother I'm just glad that you are back" Shirahoshi said happily.

"I'm also glad you are back, Otohime," Jimbei said, happy that the queen was back and that the kingdom would be safe. "Luffy-kun how long will you be staying? Last time I heard was that you had been planning a trip for a couple of months" Jimbei asked.

"Oh I can stay for a week but then I have to leave as it's pretty far from here" Luffy answered which got Otohime and Shirahoshi's attention. "Don't worry Shira I'm going to go visit your dads memorial with you both before I leave" Luffy finished.

"Where are you going? Your birthday is in a couple of days so we're going to celebrate it." Otohime finished happily.

"I guess so mom, and I'm going to Wano Kuni" Luffy answered with a smile.


Authors Note

Sorry this chapter took so long. I just had no motivation for this chapter I wanted to just skip straight over it and to Wano, but I knew I couldn't so yeah I struggled. I had to start over a couple times as I didn't like how it was going and even now I don't like how it came out but I couldn't bring myself to start over again.

In case it might have confused some people Sulu was not the sword that shattered it was the other one he had since his training with Rayleigh and I just broke it well because new sword and all of that.
