Chapter 11:Wano Kuni Pt2
Luffy held the sword in his hands, the sheath was purple with gold and was embellished with simple, golden, five-petaled flower motifs on each side. The tsuba is a trefoil shape and each lobe is holed in the middle and thickly ridged. The tsuka is lacquered solid purple (rather than cloth-wrapped), as is the saya and also has a golden kashira and kojiri. It also had 3 pieces of cord: one directly above the kashira (without hanging end), another on the saya a short bit below its mouth with two hanging, tufted ends (serving as the sageo), and yet another cord further below on the saya (again no hanging end). Further, a little bandaging is present on the tsuka. Luffy unsheathed the blade and noticed it had the same irregular flame-shaped hamon as the Kitetsu blade and black no-hi but quickly sheathed it felt an ominous aura emanating from the blade tugging at his haki and this was not the place to battle with the sword as people were around. (If you don't know what it looks like use google).
"How is it Luffy-san?" asked Hiyori as she noticed Luffy quickly sheathed the blade.
"Good, but I would like to go off somewhere to use the sword," Luffy said.
"There is a cliff overlooking the ocean we can go there," Hitetsu answered, closing the box and holding it safely before leading the entire group to the cliff.
{III}
"Oi Ace hold this for me" Luffy said handing Sulu over to him. Luffy walked forward away from everybody and when he was a good distance unsheathed the blade he held the blade when he felt the same aura from before he held it in his right hand and suddenly felt the blade start absorbing his haki. "Tch, I knew it was going to do something but I didn't expect it to be this strong" Luffy said gritting his teeth battling to keep his haki he suddenly had a purple aura around him as his battled continued and he brought the sword in down diagonal slash sending out an attack accidently cutting the entire cliff off surprising him even more. He brought up the sword and noticed it was absorbing even more haki to the point were his arm looked dried out "I respect you as a sword but a good blade listens to its wielder" Luffy said now using Ryuo and overpowering Enma for the time being and sheathing it.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" Ace and Bonney screamed out at what they saw.
Hiyori and Tama had her mouth wide open at what they saw shocked at the power of the sword and Luffy while Hitetsu looked on stoically but genuinely surprised the young man was able to tame Enma.
"Shishishi, that was actually tough. I didn't expect it to do all of that" Luffy said jokingly while walking back towards the group.
"Aniki you're strong" Tama said happily running and jumping onto Luffy forcing him to catch her to which Luffy just giggled
"So are you going to keep the blade?" Hitetsu asked.
"Yeah, I'm going to keep it. It's an amazing blade and it goes well with Sulu. I'm going to make them both go down in history as one of the greatest swords in history" Luffy said, smiling and grabbing Sulu from Ace.
"Something tells me you were holding back when we fought" Ace said looking at Luffy.
"Shishi, why would I do that Ace" he said laughing which caused Ace to sigh as he was still weaker than his little brother. Both of them hadn't gone all out but he could tell he wouldn't win.
"Hiyori-sama, since Luffy is going to take Enma I have to suggest you take Ame no Habakiri now" Hitetsu said looking at Hiyori shocking her but before she could talk he spoke up once again. "I am sure your brother and father would not mind you using the sword until your brother returns then he can decide if he wants you to keep it so he can make his own legacy or use it himself and continue his fathers legacy" he finished making Hiyori look down and start thinking.
"Something tells me you are already very skilled Hiyori and I could also train you while I train with Enma. Sulu and Ame no Habakiri are very similar and if you decide to come with me to Oyaji's ship there is another person you can train with. Oyaji and the rest of the crew would protect you without a doubt from what they told me they took care of you when you were a baby as well" Luffy finished looking at Hiyori.
Hiyori kept looking at the ground, not sure of what to say. "Denjiro did train me how to use a sword so I am decently skilled, not as good as you since you had more time but can still hold my own. So I will hold you to your word of training me and for going with you I have to tell Denjiro so he does not worry about me but Luffy-san could you do something for me?" Hiyori finished.
"Yeah sure what is it?"
"There is a person who took care of me before Denjiro. He was another of my fathers retainers. His name is Kawamatsu but he got captured sometime ago and got sent to Udon. I would like you to break him out" Hiyori finished.
"Um, yeah no problem I'll get him out" Luffy finished. "Oi Ace you want to beat up some worthless prison guard pirates or whatever they are?" Luffy asked.
"Sure I wouldn't mind at all" Ace said with a smirk on his face.
"Then we go in a week. I want to train with Enma a little bit before and train Hiyori and find a way to talk to Denjiro, uhh this is going to be a lot of work" Luffy said sighing.
{III}
"Alright, so the plan is I'm going to absorb you into my dimension and I'm going to sneak in, Tezca is in there so you can talk with him" Luffy said on top of a roof in the Flower capital.
"Of course it would be easy for you, you're literally made of darkness you can turn into your element and just hide with nobody noticing" Hiyori answered hitting him on the head.
"Stop hitting me, Yori, I'm going to get brain damage with how much you, Ace, and Bonney hit me" Luffy answered rubbing his head. Luffy then spread his darkness absorbing Hiyori. "Alright let's get this over with" Luffy finished and ran forward into the building sneaking past people he spread his observation and immediately felt the strongest aura there and started making his way there.
"It's not smart to sneak into the compound of yakuza boss" a blue haired man spoke, turning around and looking at the corner of the room.
"Wouldn't expect anything else from you" spoke Luffy from the corner, his darkness forming his body. Denjiro unsheathed one of his swords and got in a stance. "I'm not here to fight, Denjiro" Luffy finished shocking the man at how he knew that name.
"How do you know that is my name?" the man said in a dangerous voice at the possibility of his identity being leaked.
"Hiyori told me she said she wanted to talk to you so I brought her" Luffy answered before raising his hand spreading darkness bringing out Hiyori shocking Denjiro once again.
"Hiyori-sama, are you alright?" Denjiro asked in a relieved but concerned voice falling down on both knees glad that his master's daughter was alive.
"Hello, Denjiro. I am fine, Luffy-san saved me when I was being chased by through the wastelands. Although the reason I came here was that I needed to talk to you" Hiyori finished as she sat down followed by Denjiro and Luffy.
"Hiyori-sama why do you have Ame no Habakiri?" asked Denjiro as she noticed the sword on her waist and knew that she was passed down Enma and her brother was passed down Ame no Habakiri.
"Hitetsu told me that I should wield Ame no Habakiri for the time being until my older brother comes back since I gifted Enma away" she said shocking Denjiro.
"Hiyori-sama, why did you give away Enma?. That was one of Oden-sama's swords. Who did you give it to?" Denjiro spoke in a worried voice kind of freaking out but keeping his voice low as he did not want to alert anyone in the building.
"I gave it to Luffy-san" Hiyori followed and pointed to Luffy as he put his arm up and opened a little portal to his dimension and pulled Enma out. "But the thing that I came to talk to you about is to let you know that I will be leaving Wano soon and going with him and will also free Kawamatsu from Udon".
Denjiro was shocked at what he heard but most of all he was worried for her safety as he did not know Luffy. "Hiyori-sama are you sure he can be trusted and where would you even go? Would you even be safe?"
"I can promise her safety she would be under the protection of the entirety of the Whitebeard pirates" Luffy said shocking Denjiro once again as he heard the name of the pirate crew as that was the crew that Oden had left Wano with.
"And how can you do that?"
Luffy put the straw hat on his head instead of it hanging it around his neck and being on his back he turned around showing his tattoo "I'm the 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard pirates the same division Oden was. Oyaji considered Oden his brother and the crew also took care of Hiyori and Momonosuke when she was a baby so I have no doubt when I say that they will take care of her also Izo would be there as well" Luffy finished.
"I see so she would be safe. Wano is not safe anymore for her and if she can leave and be free that is the best that can happen" Denjiro finished.
"Yes, but Yori told me that in a couple of years the rest of the scabbards will return as Toki sent them into the future with her devil fruit and then you will all engage Kaido in a fight for Wano. I will come back and fight with you all and try to convince Oyaji to come fight as well so this land can be free. I promised Yori when she gve me Enma that I would free Wano and I will do it no matter what it takes" Luffy said, making Denjiro smile.
"Then she will be in your care, but what was this about freeing Kawamatsu."
"Luffy said he will go to Udon and free him tomorrow so we also wanted to ask you if you had a map or information of the prison" Hiyori asked.
"I have a layout of the prison," Denjiro said, getting up and going to retrieve the scroll. The group then discussed the layout and what would be the best plan even though Luffy had already made up his mind on showing up destroying everything and freeing the good people and did not care about hiding for the most part as from he had seen Kaido and his commanders had recently left on an expedition days ago. After the plan was discussed the group talked as this was probably the last time Hiyori and Denjiro were going to be able to talk for some years.
"Take care Hiyori-sama and when the time comes me and the rest of the scabbards will free Wano, but be sure to enjoy the freedom that your father had" Denjiro said as she hugged Hiyori.
"Thank you for everything Denjiro," Hiyori said with tears in her eyes. She soon stepped back and next to Luffy as he absorbed her into his dimension.
"Be sure to take care of her," Denjiro said, looking at Luffy having found respect for the boy.
"I won't let anything bad happen to her" Luffy answered as he walked forward into a shadow disappearing.
{III}
"You ready, Ace?" Luffy said looking at Ace as they were currently on top of the prison walls.
"Yeah let's just go beat up some idiots, Hotarubi" Ace said as he extended both of his arms out creating many greenish yellow fireballs down into the prison next to the guards which getting everybody's attention "Hidaruma" Ace finished as the fireballs all burst into flames hurting a good majority of the guards.
"Oi, Ace you never wait up for me" Luffy said raising his hands making tendrils of darkness that went forward and wrapped around the guards slamming them into the wall and floor knocking them unconscious. 'Let's just get this over with; Luffy thought to himself as his darkness started spreading over most of the yard freaking the people out "Yami no Kage no Setsudan" he spoke as the darkness wrapped around the shadows of the guards constricting some and impaling it hurting the guards physical body while Ace took out the rest of the guards easily as none in this part of the prison had armament haki and could damage him.
"Luffy, let's split up and take care of different areas of the prison so we can do this fast" Ace said to which Luffy nodded in agreement. Ace took off running going to take care of the other part of the prison.
"I've been wanting to try this," Luffy said as he looked down at all the prison guards in the other part of the prison. "Oi, Tezca, how much would it take out of me if I used it".
"Good majority of your stamina since you haven't mastered traveling through shadows" Tezca answered from Luffy's head. Luffy just nodded before opening his portals and pulling out his swords. He unsheathed them and suddenly went into a shadow disappearing then appearing behind of the guards cutting them shocking the others at what the hell happened, he continued to travel through shadows cutting all the guards before they had a chance to counter.
"Uh, that was exhausting. I really need to master it," Luffy finished panting before moving on to take care of more of the guards and vice wardens who had recently come out as they saw what was going on.
Some time later Ace and Luffy had finally taken care of all guards, vice wardens and the warden and were now taking the shackles off all the prisoners. Luffy walked up to a large dark cell where he felt a powerful presence from. "Eh, so you're a fish-man, Kawamatsu. Hiyori and Denjiro never told me that" Luffy said looking inside the cell before cutting it open.
"How do you know those names?" spoke Kawamatsu looking straight at Luffy with narrowed eyes.
"Well I'm here doing Hiyori a favor which is freeing you" he said as he walked up and unshackled him.
"Is she ok?"
"Hiyori's fine she's in Amigasa Village" Luffy said before they both walked out the cell. As they got outside and Luffy walked towards Ace a certain voice got their attention.
"How do you have that sword, young man?" spoke a blue haired short old man looking at Luffy but more specifically at the purple sword he had in his possession. Kawamatsu looked at the sword and his eyes quickly widened as he recognized it was the sword of his master.
"How do you have Oden-samas sword? It does not belong to you" he said in an irritated voice.
"She gave it to me as a gift as I needed a new sword and I made a promise to her" Luffy said. Kawamatsu kept looking at the old man for some time as he looked similar but could not quite put his finger on it until he paid more attention to the tattoos.
"Old man, are you the former yakuza boss Hyogoro?" asked Kawamatsu, surprising that anybody even remembered his name since it was so long ago and looked nothing like he did in his prime.
"Yes, that would be me" spoke the short man.
"Well before you all start catching up could you all leave the prison as I have to destroy it and it would be bad if you were all inside" Luffy said rubbing the back of his head as the former prisoners all started walking out, crying tears of joys at finally being free.
Luffy stood in the still in a courtyard of the prison before making a fist and bringing his hands into his chest before punching off to the sides causing cracks in the air to appear soon breaking the prison walls destroying everything. The prison was now just piles of rubble "Burakku Horu" Luffy said putting his hand on the ground and spreading darkness taking in all of the rubble. "I don't know when it might be useful in a fight so might as well take it all" Luffy thought to himself as observed all the rubble into his dimension.
{III}
Luffy was currently off in the bamboo forest training with Enma while Hiyori caught up with Kawamatsu and Hyogoro talked to Hitetsu as the group had barely returned some time ago. "Oi, Luffy, can I talk to you about something?" said Ace as he came walking through the forest to where Luffy was.
"Yeah, what is it, Ace?"
"I want to go fight Kaido," Ace answered, making Luffy's eyes widen at why the hell his brother wanted to do that. He knew Ace was stronger than most rookie pirates. He was a supernova after all and that was incredibly rare, but he was talking about fighting an emperor of the sea and that is a big difference. From what Luffy had seen so far Ace relied too much on his devil fruit. It was good that the Mera Mera no Mi considered him worthy and talked to him at how he could master its power, but he was going to need more than a devil fruit to beat stronger pirates.
"That's a horrible idea, Ace. I'm not saying you're weak, but Kaido is on a different level from both of us if we fought him we would both die. You wouldn't even be able to damage him the only way to damage him would be with advanced haki which you don't have which is understandable since you have nobody to teach you, but you have a long way to go. This is not Paradise or the East Blue, Ace this is the New World and I know you barely got here, but I've lived here most of my life and here Haki is the most important thing. If you thought that Draw's haki was an issue you would get knocked out by one hit from Kaido" Luffy said looking Ace in the eyes.
"I don't care. You saw how the prison and how those people suffered, how they were slaves being forced to work and the towns of people starving, the children, Luffy! Tama is here suffering and starving children should not go through this, nobody should!" Ace yelled at Luffy frustrated.
"I know that's why I'm taking Tama with me. She's my little sister so I can't see her suffer like she does. I wish I could take the people out of here, but I can't. I want to fight Kaido too but the truth is it would be for nothing. I'm too weak and would die for nothing. Ace you know I care about family more than anything and would do anything for them, Tama just recently became my little sister but it still makes me mad to see her suffer, and starve at the end of the day you can be mad all you want but the weak can't do anything in the world of pirates they can't even choose how they die. There's going to be a time when Wano is free, but the time is not yet. You have to stop being hot headed Ace and learn to pick your fights." Luffy answered back at Ace trying to make him understand.
"I'm just not a coward and don't run away from a fight and I thought you weren't one either" Ace said as he walked away leaving Luffy behind.
"Running away from certain fights doesn't make you a coward, Ace." Luffy yelled out to Ace as we walked away. "I wonder if this is how pops felt when I always said if you ran away from a fight made you a coward" Luffy sighed as he went back to training.
{III}
A couple of days later Luffy was currently playing with Tama in front of the house while Hiyori was currently training with Kawamatsu as Ace was off to the side with Bonney. Ever since they last talked the 2 brothers had not talked much as Ace still looked mad and Luffy decided to do what he did when they were still little by letting him be until it looked like he was over it. 'I just hope he doesn't do anything stupid after what we did I wouldnt be surprised if some of Kaidos subordinates contacted him on the prison being destroyed and he sent one of his commanders back here', Luffy sighed to himself before throwing Tama up in the air and catching her but stopped as Hyogoro stepped outside and called for Luffy to come into the house.
"What is it?", Luffy asked as he noticed it was kind of like a meeting as everybody happened to be inside and he hated meetings.
"We got hand of some information that said that one of Kaido's all-stars is returning to Wano as they got the information that the prison was destroyed", Hyogoro spoke to which Luffy just shrugged his shoulders as he was expecting it to happen but caused Ace to have a little smirk on his face.
"Well that's what I was expecting to happen", Luffy spoke as he walked out of the room and went back to play with Tama.
{III}
"LUFFYYY!", yelled Bonney as she was running trying to find him.
"What?", Luffy said in a groggy voice rubbing his eyes as he had been sleeping and it was still relatively early.
"Ace is gone he left behind a note saying that he was going to Kaido's castle to fight his commander", Bonney said in a desperate worried voice making Luffy quickly get up.
"What an Idiot! I'll go" Luffy said, flying into the sky.
"Take me with you!" Bonney said, following him as she wanted to go help hom.
"No, you stay here and stay hidden and take care of your crew. I'll take care of Ace" he finished, picking up speed and leaving Bonney behind.
'You better not let anything happen to him' she thought to herself still mad at being left behind.
{III}
With Ace
Ace had just got off his and walked into the castle on the island of Onigashima. "Now I just need to find that commander and beat his ass, but looks like I'm going to have to take care of stupid subordinates" he said as he noticed the people in front of him. He rushed in to attack the group and had an easy time as they were all weak and couldn't even damage him due to his devil fruit.
Ace kept moving through the castle with some injuries as he had gone deeper into the castle he had fought stronger opponents including some with haki, but nothing he couldn't take care of. He then soon reached a giant room which seemed to be the center and connected the entire castle and a Torii in the middle with a golden dragon wrapped on top of it.
"Lord Yamato you have to stop him unti Queen-sama returns he is destroying everything", spoke subordinates.
"It is not my responsibility to take care of this island. I just came here to see who was causing all of the destruction", spoke Yamato. She had long, white hair that is bound between orange rods into a ponytail at the back, which fades into aqua green and then blue the further down it goes, and ends in rectangular locks. Yamato also has large, orange eyes with prominent eyelashes, and wears gold hoop earrings on both ears and has red horns. Clothing-wise, Yamato wears a pair of red hakama pants and sandals, and, much like Oden, wears a large purple and white nio-daisuki behind the back.
"Who are you?!" yelled Ace as he saw the girl they were pushing.
"You go first" she answered back.
"I'm Ace", he said as he rushed in to clash using his devil fruit which was blocked as Yamato brought her kanabo club forward to intercept and sent the fire off the side as she had imbued it in haki.
"Stop destroying the island, you're just going to make father angry when he returns and the people might suffer even more, because of your actions", she spoke out.
"Then I'll stay here until he returns so I can take his head," Ace yelled out before going forward to clash again. Yamato infused more haki into her kanabo club and swung it forward making Ace grit his teeth at the haki as he was not as experienced. Ace leaped back but was caught off guard as Yamato immediately rushed right after and had no time to dodge "Raimei Hakke" she called out after hitting him sending Ace flying back.
"What the hell", Ace said as he got coughing up blood from his mouth.
"I don't want to kill you so you should leave before Queen returns. He had barely left when you arrived so he should be back soon", Yamato spoke, trying to get the pirate to leave.
"Why don't you leave you act like you don't care about your father, but you're still here and why do you care about what happens to another pirate". Ace asked curiously as he had noticed the way she referred to her father. It was in a voice of anger the same as him when he thought of his own father.
"Because I don't want to be here I want to go out to sea and be free, and go on an adventure like Oden and see everything he did, and because I just don't want you to die for no reason, you can't beat him". She finished her voice going from being full of admiration and hope to one of anger and sadness as she looked on at the dragon statue and suddenly hit it bringing breaking it out of anger.
"Lord Yamato, your father is going to be furious!". Yelled out the subordinates as they watched, their faces pale at what was going to happen as they had seen how Kaido beat his daughter. Ace just smirked before infusing his fist in fire and going forward to destroy the dragon even more.
"Now Yamato what would Kaido think when he returns, Muhahaha", said a man grabbing everyone's attention. The man had very large,and wore black and yellow overalls and had blue oval sunglasses hiding his eyes and the tattoo of the beast pirates on his right arm.
"Queen", Yamato hissed out.
"So your Kaido's commander", Ace said, holding his ribs as he was still feeling the effects from Yamato's hit.
"Yes, brat now I just have to take care of you since I'm guessing it was you who destroyed my prison" he spoke walking forward.
"I'll fight you instead", Yamato spoke as her teeth suddenly turned sharp.
"Transform and I'll make those shackles explode", Queen shouted, not wanting to deal with her and her troublesome devil fruit and making Yamato stop her transformation. 'That pesky mythical zoan of yours' he thought to himself.
"Hiken", Ace called out, sending a column of fire forward towards Queen simply pulled out his club and infused haki into clashing with the fire.
"Ace you should get out of here you wouldn't win", Yamato hissed out trying to make him run away.
"I don't run away from fights", Ace hissed out as he jumped prepared his next attack but stopped as Queen was kicked away crashing through multiple walls.
"You should listen to advice people give you, Ace", came a voice behind all of the dust, the rubble getting his attention as he recognized the voice of his little brother, but was confused as he saw him as he looked completely different.
"What happened to you?" he asked confused as Luffy looked completely different, his hair was now completely black and had dark black eyes he didn't even have the scar under his left eye.
"Well I came here to fight a commander of an emperor they can't really find who I am. It would start a war so I changed what I looked like", Luffy said now beside Ace.
"You didn't have to come save me. I could handle it myself" Ace answered back still irritated.
"No you couldn't. You could have given her a difficult time but would've still lost if she used whatever devil fruit she had" he finished pointing at Yamato.
"How do you know I have a devil fruit?" she asked, pointing at herself.
"Oh I've been here for a while, and saw when your teeth suddenly turned sharp so I'm guessing you have a zoan, but I don't know about your horns maybe because your the daughter of Kaido humans are all different" he finished which caused Yamato to look down.
"I do have a zoan, but I'm not fully human", she said in a low voice still looking down.
"Oh, so what are you?" Luffy asked, curious.
"I'm half human and half Oni" she finished hesitantly.
"Thats... COOL!" Luffy said with stars in his eyes. "Is that why you have horns?" he asked, now appearing next to her, poking her horns. "Shishi, you're technically shorter than me but your horns make you look taller" he finished pouting.
Yamato looked up shocked as to why the somebody thought it was cool that she wasn't human. Everybody, even the "weird" people in the crew called her horns weird and said that she was trash because she was not human even though her father was not human at all. "Oi if I take the shackles off of you will you join me?" Luffy asked, still looking at her with stars in his eyes.
Yamato just looked at Luffy and the grin on his face "You can't take them off without the key so I can't go with you" she said.
"Yeah I can", Luffy said as he coated his arms in haki and grabbed the shackles. Luffy closed his eyes and started letting his haki flow freely a red aura surrounded his hands and it went into the shackled which caused the to suddenly break and Luffy quickly pulled them off and threw them far away into the group of subordinates making a wall of darkness protecting himself, Ace, and Yamato from the explosion which ended up taking out a lot of the subordinates.
"See I told you I can do it. Now you're coming with me and you can't refuse", Luffy said jumping happily and side hugging Yamato. "When I set out for my adventure you're going with me for sure, shishi" he finished laughing as some tears came to Yamato's eyes as she saw the explosion making her a little sad knowing now for sure that her father really didn't care what happened to her as she would of died and that she was now free and could go on her adventure. After everything her father had done to her she still wanted to believe that he still loved her as his daughter, but he was really just living in a fantasy lying to herself. "Yama-o can you and Ace take care of the rest of the subordinates and I'll take care of Queen so we can get out of here?" Luffy asked, looking at her and wiping the tears that she had in her eyes.
"You can't beat me brat!" Queen said as he walked out back through the hole in the wall.
"We'll take care of them" Yamato said smiling and turning around towards the rest of the subordinates at the castle before she unleashed a blast of haki knocking out a big group of them which surprised Luffy.
"You have conquerors!" Luffy said with stars in his eyes. "I don't want to fight you anymore from what I can tell you're boring" Luffy said before spreading his darkness "Ribereishon" he called out releasing the remains he had absorbed from Udon prison and sent it towards Queen surprising him and trapping him under all the rubble. "Take care of them and lets go, this is boring" he called out laughing.
"Hiken" Ace called out, sending a column of fire forward.
"It's been some time," Yamato said, smiling as she started transforming. Luffy and Ace just looked intrigued at what was happening and were shocked when she transformed into a white tiger.
Yamato just looked on in her transformed state and then suddenly white lighting started shooting off from her body. She then opened her mouth and shot a lightning blast forward at the group taking the rest out.
The group was now outside at the docks. "So how are taking her my boat is only for one person," Ace finished as he was standing on his boat.
"I got it," Luffy said, jumping up and dropping his boat down on the water. "Lets go Yama-o," he said.
"My name is Yamato!" she responded with a tick mark on her forehead. "It's not that hard you hard headed idiot" she said hitting him on the head.
"Whatever lets go" he said as he applied gravity and took off from Onigashima.
{III}
Luffy was currently relaxing as the boat was just moving forward toward their destination while Yamato just kept moving from side to side and putting her hand in the water excited as she was finally out of her prison and was no longer chained down to stay at Onigashima.
Luffy then realized he still hadn't taken off his cloak to change his appearance so he took it off before finally talking to Yamato again since they had taken off. "Yama-o what's your dream?" He asked as he looked forward eyes on her.
Yamato looked back at Luffy but was taken back as he looked different "Who the hell are you?" She asked as she held her kanabo in a tight grip ready for a fight.
"It's me Luffy. When I first saw you it was just that I had changed my appearance as I didn't want Queen to know who I was as that could have been bad, but this is what I actually look like" Luffy answered which calmed Yamato down. She just looked at him before getting closer and poking him in the head.
"You should have said something before," she said.
"I did, you're just an idiot and didn't listen," Luffy answered back .
"Who are you calling an idiot we barely met and you got lost inside the castle like 10 times you idiot you're dumber than me!" Yamato answered back as both now had tick marks on their foreheads lighting clashing between them.
"You still haven't answered my question dumbass" Luffy said, their foreheads still against each other. Yamato just smiled before finally pulling back.
"My dream is just to be free and go on a great adventure like Kozuki Oden" she answered shocking Luffy as it sounded like she admired Oden and also making him smile at his dream.
"That's an amazing dream and if you come with me we can go on the greatest adventure. I promise you that, but why do you want to go on an adventure like Oden?" Luffy curiously asked.
"Because I saw a recording of how he died. He boiled for an hour and how he sacrificed his life to save them when it was supposed to be the other way around. He died like a real man saving his friends. He also dreamed of going on an adventure which he did" Yamato finished proudly pulling out and holding a journal.
"What's that journal?" Luffy asked, his eyebrow raised.
"It's Odens journal. Everything about his adventure he wrote in here do you want to know what he wrote" she asked.
"Tell me and I'll drag you to the waterfall and throw you off," Luffy said in a deadpan voice. "Why would I want to get spoilers of the upcoming adventure I'm going to go on in a couple of years" he finished putting his hands behind his head and laying back down.
"As if you could", Yamato answered back in a teasing voice sticking out her tongue. "But when are you leaving Wano?"
"2 weeks" Luffy simply replied. "How old even are you?" Luffy asked curiously as he wanted to know more about the girl.
"I'm 17" she answered, to which Luffy's head just fell and had dark clouds over his head.
"Eh, you're older than me," Luffy said to which Yamato just had a smirk on her face. The 2 continued to talk for the remainder of the trip as they made their way back to Amigasa village.

The group soon arrived at the beach and got off their respective boats and started walking toward Hitetsus' house as Luffy wanted to go see Tama and Hiyori. As soon as the group arrived they heard a yell which caused Ace to freeze and go pale.
"ACE YOU FUCKING BASTARD!"
Luffy stopped along with Yamato with the former having a wide grin on his face. Ace slowly turned around but was met with a slap which brought him to the ground. When he opened his eyes again he was confused when his hat was covering his eyes as he lifted it back up he noticed that his shorts fit him way too big and looked more like pants. He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard laughter erupt all around him as he noticed Luffy leaning on Yamato laughing his ass off along with the rest of his crew.
"Now you're not going to be able to run away and do some dumb shit like always" Bonney said picking Ace up and putting his hat on her head as she had turned him back to what seemed like 9 years old.
"Hold him right there let me take a picture" Luffy laughed out and pulled out a Cameko and took a picture of Bonney who was grinning holding Ace's hat on her head and Ace which was just frowning looking irritated.

Luffy woke up groaning and rubbing his eyes. He noticed that everybody was sleeping around the bonfire as they had partied all throughout the night. Ace was hugging Bonney with one arm as she was clinging on to him with his hat still on her head and her head on his chest. 'No wonder she changed him back to normal she wanted to cuddle with him' he thought to himself with a smile on his face. He looked around and noticed that Yamato was not next to him and was missing which made him curious and stood up to look for her 'Hm, where did that mask guy go he took off in the middle of the party' he thought but shrugged it off as he wanted to find Yamato.
Yamato was currently laying down on the grass all her focus on the stars in the sky while relaxing to the sound of the waves crashing against the cliff. It had been one of her desires to just gaze at the stars ever since she was a child as she had for the most part always been in shackles and beat by her father she was deep in thoughts until she heard footsteps getting close to her which caused her to grab her kanabo.
"Calm down idiot number 2 its just me" she heard the person say which calmed her down and brought a smile to her face as she recognized the voice.
"What are you doing here idiot?" she asked, still looking at the stars.
"I woke up and realized you weren't there when I looked to my side" he said with a smile laying down to her.
"I thought you were going to knocked out the entire night after how much you drank and I don't like the smell of alcohol but you wouldn't let me go" she said as she remembered the drinking competition that took place and that Luffy had actually won.
"We have a lot of parties back on the ship so I got used to it even though Marco always gets mad which doesn't make sense. I'm a pirate in the eyes of the world government, a criminal I even killed people so why can't I drink in peace not like I'm an alcoholic. You should have told me and I would have let you go. I just wanted you to have fun. But why don't you like the smell of it?" he finished. Yamato just laughed before going quite again as she was deep in her thoughts. "What's wrong Yama-o?" Luffy asked in a more serious concerned voice.
"Nothing."
"Don't lie to me."
"It's just that I'm scared of what's going to happen in the future when father finds out where I disappeared to and what he is going to do" she said.
"It's just going to be a fight since when have you been scared of that?" Luffy asked, chuckling, confusing her.
"Didn't you say that you didn't want to start a war? And also that you and Ace would both die if you fought him" Yamato said with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, I don't want to start one, but wouldn't Kaido start one if he comes after you? Plus I don't care about dying. I'm not scared of Kaido. The only reason I don't fight him right now is because I made a promise that I would free Wano which I would not be able to complete at the moment as you need to take down the entirety of the Beast pirates and Orochi for that. But I would fight anybody to protect my friends and the people I care about no matter what. I promised you that you would be free so you could go on an adventure and I keep my promises if I have to fight your old man then it is what it is" Luffy finished in a nonchalant voice.
"But what would Whitebeard say when you bring me and he finds out I'm Kaido's daughter, a rival of his plus I'm not even fully human".
"Shishi, Oyaji doesn't care who your father is, he doesn't care about the blood in your veins or what the world thinks of you once you join his crew he considers you family, and family is the most important thing to him. Plus if he found out what Kaido has done to you he wouldn't mind fighting Kaido he might even go out of his way to fight him if he ever found out actually" Luffy finished laughing wanting to reassure her.
Yamato just smiled before sitting up and turning to Luffy "Do you care that I'm not fully human?" she asked, staring at Luffy.
Luffy frowned before sitting up and staring into her eyes and putting his straw hat on her head to where her horns would not damage it. "Why would I care? You're my little half Oni" he finished with a smile putting his forehead on hers which caused her to smile. "But you still didn't answer my other question".
"I don't like the smell of it because it reminds me of when my father drank so much and got furious he would always come down into my cell and beat me to take his anger out as he thought I was just another disappointment" she said in a low voice.
Luffy just closed his eyes furious as to what he had just heard both of his hands were balled up in fist to the point where he drew some blood. "Well he's never going to be able to do that again. Nobody is, I'll kill anybody who even tries" he finished kissing her on the forehead.

"Are you really leaving now?" asked Tama, holding on to Luffys and Ace's leg with tears in her eyes.
"Oi, Tama why are you crying?" Luffy asked, concerned as to why she was crying.
"Because you're both leaving and I'm going to be lonely now."
"What do you mean? Aren't you coming with me?" Luffy asked, his eyebrow raised which caused Tama to have a bright smile on her face before she jumped as high as she could hugging Luffy forcing to catch her. "You can't go with Ace since it's going to be too dangerous but you can come with me as I have more brothers that can take care of you" Luffy said putting her on her shoulder.
"You better take care of her Luffy." Ace said while looking at his younger brother and sister.
"I will. I won't let anything happen to them." Luffy said smiling. The people all started saying their goodbyes and now the Spade pirates were on their ship while Hoyori, Tama, and Yamato were on Luffy's boat while he was sitting on the edge, his feet dangling over. "Oi, Bonney take care of my brother and don't let him be a dumbass and don't give me a nephew" Luffy said, calling out to the ship that was next to him.
"It's not like that you idiot!" she answered back irritated.
"Is that why you 2 always cuddle when you go to sleep?" Luffy said eyebrows raised as he noticed ever since the party they had the 2 of them always cuddled. The 2 of them just blushed and put their heads down as they had been caught.
"What about you and Yamato you 2 are always together?" Ace said, trying to get the attention off him.
"You don't needa worry about that," he answered back with a smile on his face.
The group finished saying their goodbyes and Luffy brought his boat back into his dimension as he was going to fly into calm waters before bringing them out as he didn't want to bring them down the waterfall as it would be too rough. "See you again Ace" Luffy said as he flew off leaving them behind.
Hope you all enjoyed.
