Chapter 10:Wano Kuni

With Ace

"Ugh, what the hell happened?" spoke Ace opening his eyes he attempted to move but quickly noticed he couldn't as he was tied to a tree by a rope. He looked forward and noticed people eating the food from their ship he was about to get mad until he focused more on the people he noticed they were wearing old worn out clothes, they were also skinny like they never ate enough food and the village looked run down it reminded him of Gray Terminal back home so he leaned back and relaxed as he felt pity.

"You're finally awake Captain-san" spoke Bonney in a somewhat teasing tone getting Ace's attention. "So what are you going to do?" she asked.

"Nothing, just let them eat right now we'll see what we do after they finish" Ace responded.

Ace and Bonney continued to talk for some time until Ace noticed that most of the people had finished eating. He used his devil fruit and burned the rope startling the people of the village, he walked forwards and crouched in front of a purple headed little girl at first with what seemed to be a face of anger but quickly transformed into a smile "Did you like the food? I guess you want something sweet now" Ace said smiling.

The girl was surprised at why the stranger was smiling and wasn't mad "Uh...uh-huh" the girl hesitantly said while looking down.

"Do any of you know where I can find dessert?" he asked the villagers. The villagers told him about a village not too far away but told him to be careful as there were a lot of strong people Ace just nodded before running through the bamboo forest towards the town.

A couple of hours later Ace came back with dessert and he was sitting down eating Dango with Tama, and Bonney. "Do you like it Tama?" asked Ace, smiling and patting the top of Tamas head.

"It's so good" Tama said with a smile on her face, happy at all the food she ate today and glad that the pirates were good people and not like the others. "Your my older brother now Ace and Bonney is my big sister" Tama said her mouth full of food but still smiling.

Bonney and Ace both stopped stuffing their mouth and looked toward Tama smiling. "Haha of course but since I'm your older brother that means you have 2 older brothers as well" Ace said smiling.

"Really?! Am I going to ever meet them?" Tama asked happily that she has 2 other brothers.

"It might not be soon, but I promise you'll meet them one day" Ace said, patting the top of her head with Bonney just smiling.

It had been a couple of days since the Spade Pirates had landed on Wano some of the crew were currently at the beach working on their ship as it needed a lot of repairs as it got caught in a storm then went up the waterfall. Ace, and Bonney were currently with Tama as she was teaching them how to make a straw hat.

"Stop burning the straw you idiot" Bonney said as Ace burned the straw for what seemed to be the 7th time.

"It's not that easy" Ace said back frustration clearly in his voice.

"Well then try harder sparky or you're going to have to go get more straw" Bonney answered back teasing trying to irritate Ace even more which was for the most part working.

"Oi stop being love birds in front of the kid" Masked Deuce said as he sat down next to the group making both Ace and Bonney both blush.

"You idiot!" Bonney yelled out loud flustered before turning the first mate into a baby making Ace burst out laughing. "Shut up or I'll turn you into a brat too," Bonney said to Ace, making him shut up immediately.

"Whatever you say you glutton", Ace responded irritating Bonney.

"If it was anybody other than you calling me that they would of already been a brat" Bonney answered.

'If anybody else called you that I would have burned them myself I'm the only one allowed to call you that' Ace thought to himself smiling happily. Ever since she had joined the crew the 2 had gotten very close. It was even the point where some days she kicked him out of his own quarters, because she wanted a room to herself. Ace complained for a good hour but since it was her he allowed it he cared about all of his crew, but sometimes he thought back to when they first found her tied up in chains it always made him furious in Ace's mind he had to protect her no matter what he was even considering telling her about who his dad was but held off as he liked the friendship they had and did not want to ruin it.

"Oi what's with the smile you idiot?" Bonney asked looking at her captain but got no response as he was in his own world. She was about to call him again but stopped as her hat was taken off her head by a giggling Tama.

"Your hats cute" she said putting it on top of her head. Bonney simply smiled at the girl as she had grown a soft spot for the girl as she was so energetic, nice, and shared what she had even though she did not have the best life.

"You can wear it as long as you want," Bonney smiled. She quickly looked back at Ace and took off his hat and put it on her head which brought him out of his thoughts.

"Oi what are you doing with my hat?" Ace asked, eyebrows raised.

"Tama wanted to wear mine so I took yours plus it looks good on me so I'm going to wear it more" Bonney said sticking her tongue out at Ace making him get a blush on his face.

"You remind me of Isuka the one time she took my hat and wore it" Ace said before going back to try and make the straw hat and missed the expression that Bonney had.

'Who the hell is Isuka and why would she wear his hat?' she thought to herself a little mad. "Oi Ace you better not let anybody else wear this hat if you're not wearing it I'm going to wear it nobody else you idiot" Bonney said before pulling the hat down a little jealousy in her voice as she didn't want to imagine anybody else wearing the hat especially not a girl.

Ace just chuckled "Alright nobody else can wear it only you glutton" Ace said with a smile.

"Like you aren't one you fatass" Bonney said making Ace chuckle.

"Aniki, how long are you going to stay here?" Tama said, bringing him out of his thoughts as she was wondering how long her older brother was going to stay.

"I don't know the ship needs to be repaired so a couple of weeks after all we were only in the New World for 15 days than we got stranded here" Ace said not wanting to make Tama sad.

Tama was about to say something but was cut off as a crew member came running yelling getting everybody's attention "Acee! A boat got stranded on the beach. It has Whitebeard's jolly roger" the member said, making the other crew members' eyes widen.

"You idiot! See what your stunt did now they sent people after us" Bonney said head down at what was happening but Ace just smiled.

"Then I'll take care of whoever came" Ace said, getting up. "Oi Tama stay here with Bonney and don't go to the beach no matter what" Ace said in a serious voice to which Tama just nodded.

"I'm going with you idiot if anything happens I have to help you" Bonney responded getting up glaring at Ace which just made him sigh. "Just go back with Hitetsu, Tama, me and Ace will be ok" she said to which Tama just nodded yet again and went running through the bamboo forest back to her sensei.

"Let's go" he said, picking up Bonney surprising her and then using Geppo to get to the beach faster.

"How do you know this?" Bonney asked as she recognized the technique.

"The old geezer taught me and my brothers the techniques as he wanted us to be marines and since we had a lot of free time we were always training", he said picking up the pace.

At the beach

"Ugh, I know they said the way to get to Wano was tough but they could have mentioned you had to go up a waterfall!" Luffy said to himself rubbing his head looking at his boat which was up on the beach. "I sensed some people working on that ship over there but they all took off running. That's weird" he finished to himself.

Luffy walked back towards his boat and put his hand on it, spreading his darkness so he could store it in his dimension. As he finished storing his boat he felt someone heading his way he turned around and was surprised by a dense column of fire heading his way he quickly made a wall of darkness to protect himself. "I barely got here what the hell" he thought to himself before bringing down the wall and using Rankyaku sending a slash towards where the fire came from.

He dodged again as he saw compressed bullets of flame heading his way. He sensed someone heading his way fast and brought up his arms to block a kick and was surprised when he saw the person "Ace?!" Luffy called out but leaped back and Ace tried to punch him. "What are you doing?" Luffy asked.

"I always told you when I saw you again that I was going to beat you in a fight" Ace said and went on the attack again using Soru to get to Luffy but was blocked yet again and was forced to turn intangible as Luffy tried to kick him. "That won't work, Luffy" he said as jumped up in the air to use his next attack "Hibashira" he called out sending down flames as Luffy unsheathed his sword and sent forward wind blades cutting the fire making it go to the side missing him and quickly sheathed it again.

"Shishishi, you almost got me Ace" Luffy said jokingly before extending his arm "Kurouzu" he calls out activating his gravity power and pulling Ace towards him. When Luffy grabbed him Ace tried to turn intangible but was shocked when he couldn't "That's not going to work, Ace" Luffy said punching Ace in the stomach sending him flying back shocking the crew at what the hell had just happened.

"Oi Bonney don't be stupid don't go in there and fight" said Masked Deuce holding Bonney back along with other members since Bonney has turned him back to normal when she heard a Whitebeard pirate was there.

"Let me go before I turn you all to brats, I need to help him. He's fighting the 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard pirates " Bonney said struggling trying to go and help Ace. She would be damned if she didn't do anything to help him.

"Ace can handle himself just stay here and let the fight carry on for now and if things take a turn for the worse we'll all go help" answered masked Deuce finally making Bonney able to calm down a little bit. Bonney just sat down and put her hands on Ace's hat which was on her head looking forward.

"Be careful Ace. This guy is dangerous, he has the Yami Yami no Mi debatably the strongest devil fruit the only one who could go against it head on would be the Taiyo Taiyo no Mi" Ace heard in his head.

"I'll keep it in mind, Mera, but how was he able to eat another fruit he had already ate one he said it was the Gura Gura no Mi," Ace said, holding his abdomen as he was still feeling the effects from the punch.

"I don't know much about those fruits so I don't know the answer, Ace. Just that they are powerful", Mera answered.

"How did you eat another devil fruit Luffy you had already eaten one?" Ace asked standing up looking forward.

"It's a long story, I just got lucky I didn't die" Luffy answered, rubbing the back of his head making Ace's eyes widen in shock and concern at the thought of his little brother dying.

"So why are you here?" Ace asked.

"The previous 2nd division commander was from Wano, and I wanted to come here to pay my respects", Luffy answered.

"So you are part of his crew" Ace said out loud. "Did you come here to take care of me since I burned his flag at Fishman Island?" Ace asked looking straight at Luffy.

"Ehh, so you were the pirate Marco talked about when he said something happened there" he chuckled to himself. "I had forgotten why I had even gone there after everything that happened" he said rubbing the back of his head. "But your my brother Ace I wouldn't kill you I just went there to make sure everything was ok nothing more" Luffy answered.

"Well I'm still going to take down Whitebeard," Ace said.

"Ok well, I won't let you do all of that I would have to fight you seriously," Luffy said laughing playfully but Ace knew he was not mocking him.

"Then we can fight right now" Ace said, getting in a stance "Hiken" he called out, sending his attack forward. Luffy just grinned before punching forward, cracking the air but put just enough power to cancel out the attack. Luffy used Soru and threw a punch forward towards Ace which was blocked and the 2 kept trading punches and kicks both using the Rokushiki.

"Shigan: Oren," Ace said before thrusting his finger forward trying to hit Luffy.

"Kami-e," Luffy said, dodging Ace's attack. "Why are you sing that technique it's stupid" Luffy said as he kept dodging.

"I didn't break my finger multiple times to learn the technique and not use it" Ace answered before leaping back and using Rankyaku. Luffy stopped moving and used Tekkai as he wanted to see which technique would end on top.

"I guess we both practiced those techniques the old geezer taught us" Ace said some distance away panting.

"Of course, I had to get stronger someway and a lot of the marines I fought knew them" Luffy said before disappearing and appearing next to Ace and kicking him in the ribs sending him flying to the side.

Ace was shocked at how the hell Luffy moved so fast he couldn't even see him move "So you know Haki, Luffy" he said looking at his leg which was black.

"It would be weird if I didn't, I live in the New World it's a necessity here" Luffy answered.

Ace just grit his teeth still holding his ribs 'Damn his haki hurts a lot more than Draws' he thought to himself but stood back up as he would never run away from a fight. "It doesn't matter I'm still going to beat you", he finished as he rushed back and started fighting hand to hand with Luffy, but was having a difficult time as Luffy was fighting differently than he remembered. Before Luffy and him would just trade hits trying to force the other one down, but now Luffy was blocking and weaving a lot and made fast strong strikes. They weren't as powerful but he could tell he was holding his punches and instead hit him in vital areas in the abdomen and hit him in the face. Ace threw a right punch, but Luffy grabbed his hand and pushed him off to the side and kicked him in the temple making Ace wince at the pain and was then kicked in the chest sending him back.

"Oi, you can't fight like that anymore Ace we aren't little kids anymore. Pirates, and Marines would be able to counter that easily, you would be taking more damage than actually putting out and it seems like you getting a logia and turning intangible made you even more reliant on rushing in. That's not good Ace", Luffy spoke in a serious voice concerned for his brother and the way he was fighting.

"You act like you don't rush in either and just use force" Ace said getting back up and wiping the blood coming from his mouth. "It doesn't matter I'm still going to beat you Luffy!" he said used Soru to get closer and kicked Luffy surprising him a little bit as he noticed Ace was using armament haki.

'Is he that frustrated' Luffy thought to himself before infusing his own arms in haki again and started fighting back. Ace was still fighting mostly trying to overpower Luffy which was not working as Luffy was using speed and was still strong in his own right. Luffy and Ace kept trading blows with the latter receiving a lot more damage and Luffy finally making a quake bubble but made it weaker than usual and punched Ace causing to spit out some blood as he fell down onto the ground.

"I think we should stop Ace. Your crew is getting worried about you and the girl seems like she's about to rip out my guts," he said looking at Ace's crew.

Ace looked up and noticed that his crew were basically about to jump into the fight, he just smiled at his crew, happy at how his crew was ready to back him up and fight with him. He stayed on the ground for some time until he finally started talking "Don't worry guys, everything's good" Ace said to his crew, confusing all of them.

"What do you mean he's a Whitebeard pirate and you burned his flag that's like declaring war and you're on the ground!" Bonney screamed out.

"Luffy's my little brother," Ace said, while struggling to get up and hugging Luffy with one arm.

"EHHHH!" said the crew simultaneously, their eyes popping out and jaws on the ground beyond shocked at how their captain's little brother was part of Whitebeard's crew and one of his commanders.

"Your brother is a division commander of the Whitebeard pirates and you burned his captain's flag?! Are you an idiot?!" Bonney screamed out running forward pulling Ace by the ear at how stupid he was.

"Shishi, Ace is that your girlfriend? First it was Sabo now you I guess" Luffy said, making both of them blush. He kept laughing until Bonney hit him on top of the head.

"It's not like that you idiot" she said flustered.

"Eh whatever you're wearing the hat he has in his poster so he must mean something to you, but Ace don't make me an uncle just yet" Luffy said jokingly making Ace and Bonney blush even more before they both hit him on the head.

"You're an idiot Luffy" Ace said, still blushing.

"Whatever in the future you'll see I'm right and you're both going to owe me an unlimited amount of meat" Luffy said sticking his tongue out at both of them. "But how did you end up here Ace? This is not really an easy place to get to" Luffy said.

"Umm, we kind of got caught in a storm and ended up stranding up here" Ace said, rubbing the back of his head which made Luffy burst out laughing.

"Haha, you have barely been in the New World for 20 days and already stranded up on an island" he said laughing which made Ace irritated and was about to do something until he noticed Bonney hit Luffy on top of the head again shutting him up. "What was that for? It's just funny" Luffy said, rubbing the bump on his head but go response.

"Oi Ace I heard you fought a vice admiral did you win?" Luffy asked.

"Yeah I fought some asshole named Draw he had some flamethrowers and almost burned the kids who were in the slums" Ace said, balling his fist remembering what had happened.

"Oh, Draw that idiot. He's kind of Akainu's lap dog as the both of them are going on about Absolute Justice there was a time where he came after pops by himself I had to beat him up and he went running away like a coward begging for his life. If I knew that was going to happen I should have just ended him" Luffy said looking down just thinking of what happened to those kids. "But as long as they're ok that's all that matters" Luffy finished.

"Luffy what's your bounty?" Ace asked.

"Oh, um it's 900 million right now I'm still trying to get to a billion even though I beat up a lot of vice admirals and destroyed a marine base. I even beat a rival commander and they don't give it to me" Luffy said sulking. Ace now had his head down his hope out the window of maybe having a higher bounty than Luffy which made the crew sweatdrop.

"I just noticed that you actually have some muscles and are not just ripped and your taller" Ace said finally focusing on what Luffy looked like.

"Well yeah I do a lot of training and I'm already 5'9 (175 cm I think) I'm going to be taller than you" Luffy said laughing as Ace started sulking again at the idea of his little brother being taller than him.

"Well come with me Luffy I have to introduce you to somebody she's my little sister" Ace said making Luffy's head pop up.

"I guess that means I have 2 little sisters now" Luffy laughed making Ace even more confused. "Shirahoshi is my other little sister. You should meet her soon but you would have to go back to Fishman island" Luffy finished.

Ace smiled at the knowledge of having another little sister. "Well it's some distance away so we should get going" Ace finished walking away with his crew and Luffy following behind.

{III}

"Oi Ace just carry your girl and we can use Geppo to get there" Luffy said walking through the bamboo forest up the hill. Both of them blushed but Ace just picked up Bonney surprising her and used Geppo to go up into the sky.

"Let's go before I leave you behind" Ace said, kicking again and taking off.

"Geppo is not faster than me just flying" Luffy said laughing and soon took off catching up to Ace surprising him even more.

"That fruit is overpowered" Ace simply said.

"I'm pretty sure you could use your fruit to float in the air or something like that" Luffy said again chuckling.

"Wait, I read in the paper that you had a fruit called the Gura Gura no Mi and when I read about the fruit it said that it was a paramecia that let you cause vibrations and earthquakes" Bonney said confused at how he was flying.

"Oh, it's because I ate another devil fruit after and that's the one that lets me fly and do more things" Luffy answered.

"That wasn't in the newspapers" she answered looking confused.

"When I fight the marines or most people I never use those abilities because I don't want them to know about it. It's really hard though not to turn intangible as it's an instinct, but I can use it Wano all I want is the island is cut off from the rest of the world so I'll be ok" he said as he kept flying happily.

"That's just fucking unfair" Bonney said but decided to tighten her grip on Ace to try and make him feel flustered and noticed it work as he had a blush on his face.

A couple of minutes later the group of 3 arrived at the house where Tama lived. "Oi Tama we're back" Ace said out loud and soon the door slid open and out came a little girl which brought both Bonney and Ace into a hug which put a smile on both of their faces. "Tama this one of your other older brothers I was talking about" Ace said and pointed to Luffy who was just smiling at the little girl.

Tama let go of both Ace and Bonney and walked towards Luffy "Are you really my aniki?" she asked in a hopeful but hesitant voice.

"Shishishi, of course I am any of Ace's friends are my friends and any of his siblings are mine too" Luffy said smiling patting the top of Tamas head. He was surprised when the girl suddenly brought him into a hug Luffy just brought her up and put her on top of his shoulder carrying her.

"You should all come inside Hitetsu-sensei is here right now," she said.

"Then we go inside" Ace said motioning for Luffy to follow them inside which he did.

"So you 2 are back" spoke a man to the group as soon as the group walked in. "And who is the new guest?" he asked, looking at Luffy who had Tama on top of his shoulder.

"I'm Ace's brother and Tama's new older brother," he said smiling. The old man just smiled and motioned for them to sit down. Luffy was about to go sit down until he noticed the sword hung up on the wall which made him stop. "Oi, ossan whose sword is that?" he asked, still fully focused on the sword.

"No one wields that sword as nobody can tame it, and everybody is scared of it because it's a cursed blade" Hitetsu said. Luffy just smiled looking at the blade feeling a strong aura coming from it. "I can tell you are interested in the blade but even if you are brave enough I can't let you have it. The only rightful way to get the Kitetsu blades is by starting at the Sandai and after taming it making your way up to the Nidai, and then the Shodai even though the latter was stolen long ago" Hitetsu finished.

Luffy frowned a little bit as he was interested in getting the sword but understood nonetheless as he was the owner of the blade and did not want to disgrace the man by just taking the sword. "Then can I just test to see if I could tame it and would be worthy to use it?" Luffy asked the man, who was shocked at what the young man had just said but just nodded.

Hitetsu reached up and grabbed the sword as Luffy just put Tama down. Luffy grabbed the sword and unsheathed it. He could still feel the eerie aura emanating from the blade and smirked as he felt that it was a real beast. Luffy infused his haki in the blade and noticed that it made it different somehow and demanded blood for allowing you to use it. "It really is bloodthirsty," he said out loud. "I don't have any ambition to become the world's greatest swordsman or anything but I still have pride as a swordsman and still want to see how good I really am and fight the best of the best, and this is a valid test" he said to himself before throwing the blade up the air causing it to spin and the sticking his arm out underneath it shocking everybody who was watching. Luffy closed his eyes to see what the result would be if he was a good enough swordsman to where he could tame it's curse. The blade came down around it missing his arm and sticking into the ground all the way to it's tsuba at its extreme sharpness.

Luffy just smiled as the sword had decided that it was worthy and had a strong enough spirit to wield it. "What the hell were you doing you idiot you ate a logia so it wouldn't have hurt you if the sharp side had come down so why did you infuse haki into it?! You could have lost your arm" Ace yelled at Luffy.

"That's why I did it. If I didn't that would have been cheating the blade," Luffy said, picking up the blade and sheathing it and handing it to Hitetsu.

"You would be worthy to use the sword if only you had the Sandai," Hitetsu said grabbing the sword and putting it back up on the wall.

"Oh well I'll just have to find another blade while I'm here. Wano is said to have very powerful samurais so I would expect there would be high graded swords here" Luffy said.

"Aniki how long are you going to stay here?" Tama asked looking up at Luffy.

"Well I had just come to pay my respects, but since my old sword shattered I want to get a new one and since Ace is here I'll stay until he leaves as well" Luffy finished.

"Can you take me with you?" Tama asked.

"Ehh I'm a pirate and you're still too young to be a pirate Tama", Luffy answered but to be honest to himself he didn't know what to do he had passed by the village and noticed how the people were starving and suffering he had even gave them most of the food he stored in his dimension the other he wanted to give to his new little sister. He didn't want Tama to suffer and live like this but at the same time being a pirate was dangerous and she was still a little girl. Luffy then noticed Tama pouting and turned her back to him which was his weakness. "Um I'll think about it Tama, but I can't promise anything right now", Luffy said which made Tama start jumping in happiness.

"Aniki, I have to teach you how to make a straw hat so you can repair yours in case you ever need to," Tama said, grabbing Luffy by the hand and dragging him out the house. "And maybe you can help Ace since he keeps burning everything," Tama said, throwing a playful shot at her other brother.

"Of course the one who was always hot headed ate a fire fruit and can't control it", Luffy said throwing his own little shot at Ace which worked as Ace just had his head down but still had a smile on his face. "Oi Bonney drag your boyfriend out here so we can play with Tama" Luffy said yet again making them both blush.

"I can't wait until you like a girl so I can make fun of you," Ace shot back at Luffy.

"So you do admit that you like her", Luffy answered back wiggling his eyebrows making Ace's entire face red at how Luffy had just played him. "And we'll see if I ever like one probably not" he said smiling walking out the house as Ace got up and walked out with Bonney.

{III}

"Aniki where are you going?" Tama asked.

"I have to go to Kuri. Izo said that Oden was the daimyo of that area of Wano and his castle is there so I have to go and pay my respects" Luffy said. "Don't worry I'll be back soon enough and I'll steal and bring back food for the entire village and maybe I can get a new sword. You can play with Ace and the glutton while I'm away" Luffy finished and patted the top of her head but quickly was forced to dodge and fly into the sky as an irritated Bonney almost touched him. "I ain't getting turned into a baby" he said sticking out his tongue and flying away leaving behind an irritated Bonney.

Luffy flew for sometime and was currently flying over the wasteland between the forest where Tama was at and Kuri. 'Kaido really ruined the land' Luffy thought to himself furious at the pain he had brought to the people of Wano. He was about to go faster until he picked up multiple people with his observation which made him stop and head in that direction.

"Stop running you bitch!" spoke a man from the group chasing the woman through the wasteland. The group kept chasing until the woman ended up tripping and falling down on the ground. The woman had turquoise hair that reached her waist and blue eyes. She was wearing a pink furisode kimono with purple flower designs along the sleeves and the bottom. "Kyoshiro had reportedly killed you for disrespecting the Shogun, Komurasaki. I guess he lied maybe we should have fun before we take you back," said the man licking his lips.

Luffy was some distance away watching on at what was happening ready to jump in if anything went wrong as he did not like the way things were going especially as the man implied he was going to do to her. He would never allow someone to take advantage of a woman he was friends with all the women of Amazon Lily and letting something like that would be disrespectful to them and he also had 2 little sisters. Luffy put his hands on the sword ready to go in an kill them if necessary at first and foremost he was still a pirate and killing was never out of the question and he would not show mercy to anyone who hurt his family or threatened to rape a woman.

'If only I had a sword or a weapon I could fight back but I don't have anything' Komurasiki thought to herself gritting her teeth. 'I guess this might be as far as I go even after everything Denjiro and Kawamatsu did to protect me I couldn't stay alive, but death is a better alternative than letting them find out about Kyoshiro's real identity if he did whenever my older brother comes back in a couple of years and the rest of the scabbards return he wouldn't be able to help them' she finished thinking to herself accepting herself that she would rather die here.

"But the really interesting thing that we heard was that your real name was Kozuki Hiyori and that would make Kyoshiro a traitor for harboring you" said a man sending chills down her spine at how he knew that information. She was about to bite off her tongue so she could die but as the man placed his hand on her shoulder a cold aura suddenly settled in on them making the hairs on their neck stand up.

"What the hell is-" the other men couldn't even finish his sentence as he was stabbed in the heart ending his life shocking the people around him. Luffy pulled the sword out of the man before making a quake bubble at the end of it and swinging it towards the group sending them flying back crashing through the large rocks he was hiding behind killing them leaving only 1.

The man who was next to Hiyori was standing still in fear at what the hell had happened before he could even speak; he was slammed into the ground by Luffy. The man was trying to speak but Luffy threw him into the air making a quake bubble on his hand and hitting the man as he came down causing cracks to appear killing the man instantly and causing the ground to get destroyed and split down the middle forcing Komurasaki to move back so she wouldn't fall into the crack which seemed to go down forever.

"Sorry, I guess I went overboard and almost got you hurt, but I just can't stand people who do that" Luffy said sheathing his sword and extending his hand to help the woman up. "But is your name really Kozuki Hiyori?" Luffy asked in a serious tone looking straight into her eyes.

Hiyori was debating on what she should say she knew fighting was out of the question as she had just seen what happened to the other group of people who were going to take her. "Yes my name is Kozuki Hiyori the daughter of Kozuki Oden" she said deciding that if she was going to die she would die saying her real name, the name her father and mother gave her but she didn't expect to just hear laughter coming from the person who had saved her.

"That's a surprise I didn't know one of Oden's kids was still alive" Luffy said smiling. "But it seems like some people are after you so I can take care of you" he finished.

"Why would you take care of me?" Hiyori asked skeptical and confused on why a stranger would want to help her and what seemed to be a foreigner at that.

"Your father was like a brother to Oyaji and he was the commander of the 2nd division of his crew that makes you family" Luffy answered shocking Hiyori as Denjiro had told her how her father had first left the land of Wano with a group of pirates.

"Would you happen to be part of the Whitebeard pirates?" she asked.

"Yup" Luffy answered happily and turned around to where she could see his back and pointed to his tattoo. "I came to Wano to pay my respects to Oden and protecting one of his children would be doing that", Luffy finished making Hiyori smile.

"Then I guess I am in your care, um I didn't get your name what is it sorry" she said embarrassingly at not knowing his name.

"My name is Monkey D. Luffy, shishishi, but I'm on my way to Kuri right now or I can take you to Amigasa Village you would be safe there" Luffy replied.

"I'm guessing you're going to go to my fathers castle so I will go with you," Hiyori answered.

"Alright but I'm not walking there" Luffy answered confusing Hiyori. "I can carry you on my back so we can get there faster," Luffy then said to which Hiyori simply compiled, and was shocked when Luffy started floating higher into the sky. "Shishishi, I can fly so we should be there soon," he said, shocking her even more.

The 2 arrived at Oden's castle a couple of minutes later as Luffy was flying faster than before. The 2 arrived up on the mountain overlooking Kuri and Hiyori led Luffy to where the graves were as she had been there once before with Kawamatsu and Denjiro.

Luffy silently walked up to the graves putting 2 incense sticks in front of each grave and lighting them before kneeling down in front of Odens grave and bowing his head showing his respect. He then used his darkness powers to access his dimension and brought out a glass case and a black flag which had Whitebeard's jolly roger on it. "They didn't come but they always cared about you and miss you Oden, and if your daughter wants to come with me we will all protect her", he putting the flag inside the clear case to protect the flag from the elements and then putting it front of the grave. "I can't do it right now, but I promise that one day I will free your land so people can eat as much as they want and live happily and not live under a tyranny" Luffy finished talking.

Hiyori watched on with tears in her eyes. She was glad that people still cared about her father and mother, and could feel that Luffy deeply respected them and genuinely meant that he one day would free Wano. "Thank you Luffy-san this really means a lot" Hiyori said out loud which made Luffy simply smile.

Luffy got up and walked back "I'll let you spend time with them. I have to go steal some food for the people of the village, but we can stay for the rest of the day if you want", Luffy said as he walked away and then took off down the mountain towards the town to steal food as Hiyori went forward and kneeled down in front of her parents grave.

A couple of hours later Luffy arrived back at the top of the mountain where Hiyori was. "Well I couldn't find a good enough sword, but I found a lot of food for the village," Luffy said with a smile.

"I didn't know you were looking for another sword," Hiyori said as she looked at Luffy. Luffy then noticed she started deeply thinking as she had a serious expression on her face so he stayed quiet. "I have a sword you can have. It was originally supposed to be inherited by me, but it will be put to better use if you wield it and I think my father would not mind" Hiyori said.

"You do?" Luffy asked.

"Yes it is a high graded sword as well it is part of the 21 O Wazamono grade swords", Hiyori followed surprising Luffy. "But it is with a man named Hitetsu,"she finished.

"Hitetsu is Amigasua Village," Luffy said excitedly at getting a new sword.

"Then we should go. My parents would not have wanted me to spend too much time here" Hiyori said to which Luffy just nodded and carried Hiyori on her back and flew into the sky.

"Tama I'm back" Luffy said out loud as soon as he landed back in front of the house where Tama lived.

"Aniki!" Tama came out running out of the house and hugged Luffy's leg.

"Here Tama it's some candy I got" Luffy said pulling out some candy and handing it to her.

"Did you bring candy for the other kids? I don't want to eat it all if there's not anymore I have to share with them" Tama said, making Luffy smile.

"Don't worry there's a lot more you can eat," Luffy said which caused Tama to smile as she ate the candy.

"Hiyori-sama what are you doing here?" Hitetsu said shocked as to why she was there.

"I was on the run from the capitol as some things had happened and Luffy saved me from people who were chasing me" Hiyori answered. "But Hitetsu can you bring out my fathers swords?" she asked, to which Hitetsu simply nodded.

Hitetsu brought out a box and opened it revealing the Ame no Habakiri and Enma. "Why did you want me to bring out your fathers swords, Hiyori-sama?" Hitetsu asked, curious.

"I am going to give Luffy-san, Enma," Hiyori answered, shocking both Hitetsu and Luffy.

"What I can't take it that's Oden's sword and you are his daughter that is supposed to be yours I can't take it!" Luffy said, stepping back little as he thought it was disrespectful.

"Hiyori-sama your father said he wanted you to inherit this sword, are you sure about just giving it to him?" Hitetsu said shock was visibly evident in his voice which just confused both Ace and Bonney as they just thought it was a sword.

"Yes, I am sure" Hiyori spoke as she walked forward and picked up Enma with both hands and walked over to Luffy. "Luffy-san I'm giving you this sword because I saw how deeply you respected my father, but I want you to promise me that one day you will free Wano" Hiyori said looking straight into Luffy's eyes.

Luffy was hesitant to agree not because of the promise he would do that no matter what it took when he was strong enough but hesitant at taking the sword because of its significance. He closed his eyes and calmed his nerves "I promise, Hiyori" Luffy spoke and grabbed the sword with both hands. "I promise, I will get stronger and free Wano no matter what".

"Uhhh, training is exhausting", Sabo said as he walked down the hallways of the Revolutionary headquarters. He kept walking towards the library as he wanted to go read ever since he got here, the library was the place he spent the most time when he was not training under Dragon.

Sabo opened the door and noticed that Koala was also reading a book sitting down at the table. "What brings you here Sabo?" she asked as she looked up and put both her hands under her chin smiling at the blonde.

"You know I always come here to read dummy" he responded as he grabbed a book from the shelf and sat down.

"Or maybe you just like spending time with me", she said giggling making Sabo just raise the book to cover his face so she wouldn't see his blush. Koala just smiled before getting up to get a new book as she had already finished the she currently had.

Koala saw a book on the higher shelf she was interested in reading but couldn't get it even when she was on her tippy toes as it was on a high shelf. Sabo just chuckled at the scene before he got up and picked Koala up so she could reach the book but startled her.

"S-Sabo-kun w-what are you doing?" she said as she had a scarlet red blush on her cheeks as Sabo was holding her up.

Sabo just looked up at her for sometime until he realized what he had done and suddenly put her back on the ground "U-Uh I was just trying to help you get the book" he said bringing down his hat to try and cover his blush.

"You could have just reached for the book" Koala said holding her skirt looking down at the floor "But I don't mind you were just trying to help" she said in a low voice which Sabo was barely able to hear.

"So you're finally making your move Sabo", came a voice bringing grabbing their attention.

"D-Dragon-san what do you mean" Sabo stuttered out.

"Nothing, just surprised you finally made your move after all this time I was wondering who between you two was going to make the first move. When you finally make her your girlfriend you should tell Luffy he is going to want to know when he has a new member to the family you know how serious he is about friends and family" he said smiling before stepping back out of the room. "Well don't let me interrupt you more than I already have, but if you're going to do anything do it somewhere private" he finished with a smirk on his face as he closed the door and walked away leaving a flushing Sabo and Koala behind.


Author's Note

Also for the people who read this on FanFiction I couldn't put the image with Sabo and Koala here, but if you want to see it it's on AO3. Sorry for that.

So yeah Enma won barely beating Shusui. I know Shusui had more votes from the comments and reviews but people sent PM's and voted Enma and that caused it to win.

Since Luffy got Enma, Zoro is going to get Shusui and he is not going to trade it like in canon so yeah.

Also would really appreciate if anybody could be my Beta reader it would be appreciated I've been having trouble writing these last few chapters. So if anybody wants to help PM me it would be appreciated, but hope you enjoyed the chapter.

As always Leave a Review of what you think.
