Chapter 13: East Blue Saga

"She was so nice. The whole town was so nice." Spoke Hiyori as she had Tama on her lap. The group had just left Dawn Island a couple of hours ago as that is where Luffy wanted to start just like Ace and Sabo, and he also needed to see Makino's baby.

"And the baby was so cute." Yamato said with stars in her eyes as she remembered the little boy who was barely a year old.

"Aniki was spoiling him to the point Makino wouldn't even let him see him unless he stopped giving him toys and gifts." Tama said laughing.

"Of course, it was my first time seeing him. I have to spoil him. But she wouldn't let me feed him meat, the poor baby" Luffy said, sulking. "I'm going to kill that Red-Haired bastard when I see him. He never told me he got her pregnant" Luffy finished making Yamato chuckle as she went to sit on his lap.

Luffy just put an arm around her waist before he put the straw hat on her head. "You're going to have to hold it for me for as long as we stay in the East Blue." Luffy said not really wanting to take a risk of them finding out his identity until he was ready to leave the East Blue and it would be late for them to send reinforcements.

"When we start collecting the members, call me Lucy until I reveal who I am."

{III}

"Eh, she was weak and she had one of the biggest bounties in the East blue. Koby you really are a coward" Luffy laughed poking fun at the pink haired boy who he decided to bring with them, after defeating Alvida. "Well let's go see how this supposed demon is, and get you into the marines".

"Lucy, you can't be thinking of recruiting him to your crew. You have 2 women with you and a child. They call him a demon for a reason he might kill you!" Koby finished in a worried voice before getting hit on the head by 4 people simultaneously.

"They aren't weak Koby. Hiyori and Yamato could beat anyone in the Blues while Yamato can probably beat anybody we run into in Paradise. And Tama isn't weak either; she might not have the physical strength, but she's fast so don't underestimate my crew." Luffy finished in a more serious voice to which Koby just nodded, still rubbing the bumps on his head.

{III}

"So that's the strongest swordsman in East blue. Doesn't look like much."

"Lucy what do you mean? He's a demon in human flesh, you shouldn't recruit him, he will kill you."

"The way he is right now he would have a hard time even hitting Tama." Luffy laughed, making Tama smile. After all she was trained by his brothers and himself to use observation haki, and he and Ace taught her Soru to some extent.

They kept watching until a little girl went to offer him some rice balls which he refused and she was thrown out by a cocky blonde-haired man in a suit. Which caused Luffy to disappear and catch her in midair. "Take her to her mom. I'll go talk to Mr. Swordsman," Luffy said as she put the girl down, and left back towards the courtyard.

Couple Minutes Later

"So how did it go?" Yamato asked as she saw Lucy walk in and sit down.

"Eh alright. He's actually a good guy from what I saw. He just didn't want the little girl to get in trouble so he acted rude, and his dream is to become the world's greatest swordsman." Luffy explained before grabbing the butter knife on the table and putting it in his pocket.

"Why are you taking a butter knife with you?" Hiyori asked, eyebrows raised.

"In case he wants to challenge me, I need something to fight him with. It's for his safety" Lucy finished shrugging his shoulders before stuffing his mouth with food.

{III}

Orange Town

"What are we doing in this town, captain?" Asked Zoro as the group had just docked the ship.

"I'm here because I need to have a talk with a certain clown." Answered Luffy as he kept walking. The group kept walking throughout the town and noticed the extensive damage with multiple buildings being destroyed all over the streets until a girl came running towards them, bumping into Luffy.

"Oh, hey boss. You came to save me at the right time. I'll leave the rest to you." The orange girl finished as she took off running once again.

"We'll kill you for trying to steal from Captain Buggy!" Spoke one of the 3 goons as the trio all went forward ready to cut Luffy down, but before they could get closer a wave of power washed over the area sending chills up Zoro's spine making it hard for him to breathe bringing him down onto his knees, and made the trio fall unconscious, foam coming from their mouth.

"I could have taken care of them, Yamato." Said Luffy, poking her cheek playfully.

"They were weak and I want to move on so I can run into somebody strong and have a good fight" Yamato finished before grabbing his head and head butting him making Luffy fall back onto the ground.

"You did an amazing job, Roronoa. You actually managed to stay conscious, considering how powerful Yamato's conquerors haki is. That's impressive. Maybe your goal of being the world's strongest swordsman is possible" Hiyori said with a smile ruffling his hair playfully, irritating the swordsman.

The group continued to walk, eventually meeting up with the orange haired girl again, and even getting her name, Nami. She refused to join the crew many times but eventually after Luffy's multiple attempts she struck a deal that would help the both of them, but Luffy was still locked in her joining. "All right, Zoro come with me I want to see you actually fight, you guys can go back to the ship we won't take long" Luffy finished walking off with Zoro behind him.

"Why were you so determined for her to join the crew, captain?"

"Because I saw her stealing money back when we ran into Koby and she looks like she would be a good navigator. Now let's see what you can do, Zoro."

The duo arrived where Buggys crew were currently located and began to fight, well not really. Luffy had used a controlled wave of his conqueror's haki knocking out most of the people, leaving just Buggy and what seemed to be a guy on a unicycle which he let Zoro fight. The fight soon ended on time as Luffy had just ended his talk with Buggy, both of them having a more serious look on their face by the end.

"Let's go Zoro, I have to go get my sniper from a certain island."

{III}

Gecko Islands

"Why exactly did you want to come here?" Nami asked as she knew there was nothing really interesting here.

"A certain sniper from another crew has a son that lives here, and I want to see if the talent runs in the family." Luffy said with a smirk before he saw multiple pirate flags pop up.

A couple of seconds later a scrawny kid with a long nose that calls himself Captain Ussop appeared and started saying that he 80 million subordinates under his control which made everyone burst out laughing, until Ussop pulled out 2 cold colt revolvers and pointed them at the crew which made Luffy have a serious expression on his face and soon a big white snake came out from the ocean behind them and wrapping around Tama hissing at Ussop, the snakes hood expanding in a threatening way making both Nami and Zoro confused.

"Risk your life." Luffy said in a colder voice while looking at Usopp dead in the eyes.

"What do you mean?!" Usop responded, his hands shaking.

"Whenever you pulled out your pistols and aimed them at my crew you put your life on the line. Pistols aren't games and I don't like when my crew is being threatened" Luffy finished his eyes constricting showing that he is serious as the sun was soon covered by storm clouds and the ocean behind them was becoming even rougher, waves crashing against the beach, confusing Nami at how the weather changed so fast.

Ussop's arms were now shaking even more and he soon fell on his knees barely being able to breathe through the weird pressure that was slowly starting to rise throughout the area where they were. "Well at least we can talk peacefully now so let's go, shishi".

The group stayed on the island for a couple of days as Ussop introduced them to a certain girl named Kaya, although not everything went smooth due to her butler and some plans that were later discovered due to Luffy going on a walk. Even when Ussop tried his best Kaya would not believe him and even got furious at him calling him a liar even though he was telling the truth for once, but untrustworthiness is the price you pay for a life of lying.

"Lucy get up, they will be here in an hour, you have to get up" Ussop said frantically.

"It's too early for you to be yelling, calm down." Luffy said as he had been sleeping. "Zoro, Hiyori do you want to take care of the pirates that are supposed to be coming? I know both of you have been bored." Luffy finished as he laid back down as Yamato had wrapped her arms around his neck demanding for him to lay back down making Luffy chuckle as he noticed she was drooling a little bit.

The both of them just nodded, Zoro smirking while Hiyori was just smiling. The 2 went with Ussop while Quetzalcoatl stayed in the water to deal in case anything crazy happened which was unlikely as they were in the East blue and honestly the snake could deal with the crew alone as it had grown in size significantly in the years.

The group had made quick work of the pirate crew as Zoro took on Nyaban Brothers and Hiyori took care of Kuro while Ussop and Quetzacoalt took care of the fodder.

A Couple Days Later

"Well, it's time for me to go and be a brave warrior of the sea, Kaya," Ussop said with a smile on his face as he was finally about to set out and be a pirate like his father.

"I wish you the best Ussop, to me you already are a brave warrior, but when you accomplish your goal be sure to come back and tell me all of your adventures." Kaya said with a smile on her face before placing a kiss on his lips making him go wide eyed while Luffy fell to the ground as he was laughing so hard as Ussops face was completely red and looked like a little kid in a trance.

The 2 said their goodbyes as Ussop went on to board the ship. "You can now call me Captain Ussop!" He said as he stood on the railing.

"Never going to happen" Luffy answered in a deadpan voice.

"Then I'm the Vice-Captain."

"Not happening either. You're the sniper."

"Fine. Then who is the vice-captain?"

"Not you."

{III}

Couple Days Later

"How could I serve you all ladies?" A curly eyebrows waiter said as he spun as he got to the table where Lucy and his crew were sitting.

"Oi what about us you shitty waiter?" Zoro said irritated as it looked like the waiter completely ignored them.

"Other people can take you order; I only take the orders of the beautiful ladies so you can shut up you stupid marimo."

"Calm down Zoro, we can just tell the girls to order our food".

"And what can I help you with, my beautiful white-haired princess" Sanji said as he grabbed Yamato's hand, kissing it startling her which caused Luffy to immediately stop laughing.

"I will sink this entire fucking ship if you do that again" Luffy said in a deadpan voice looking at Sanji which caused Hiyori and Tama to start giggling as Luffy was always a little overprotective of Yamato.

"I'll just have a lot of meat" Yamato answered, as she laid her head on Luffy's shoulder with a smile on her face.

'She barely had my meat a couple days ago, and she already wants more, what a pervert' Luffy thought to himself, completely misinterpreting what Yamato had meant.

Next Day

"So, what are we waiting for?" Zoro asked as he noticed the whole restaurant was in uproar as owner Zeff had just handed over food to feed the entirety of the Krieg pirates.

"Blonde cook to join the crew, and my sensei." Luffy answered as he had spread out his observation haki and felt the familiar presence of the world's greatest swordsman.

A couple of minutes later the entirety of Luffy's crew were outside on the platform that came from the Baratie waiting for the start of the fight while Luffy was laying down and looking at the sky. "I will now take this ship into my fleet and it will be the start of my greatness to go, and conquer the Grand Line!" Don Krieg yelled loudly, wanting people to admire his greatness, but caused Luffy to start rolling around on the floor laughing, making Krieg himself and his crew irritated.

The rival pirate crew started running towards the restaurant all yelling ready to slaughter everyone who stood in their way until the ship that was next to them got cut in half resulting in waves making the platform hard to stand in sending the majority of the crew into the ocean. "What the hell was that?" asked a lot of people in shock at what had happened, but Nami took the distraction as a chance to make her leave which Luffy, Yamato, and Hiyori all noticed.

"Did you really follow them all the way here just because they interrupted your nap, sensei?" Luffy finished looking at the coffin boat with green candles getting closer to them, making Zoro go wide eyed as his captain called the world's greatest swordsman his sensei, the title that he wanted to gain for himself, to accomplish the dream he and Kuina had.

"I was having a pleasant dream and the pests had to interrupt it. There is also nothing to do" Mihawk finished as he stepped off his boat onto the platform. Luffy looked over to Zoro and already noticed he had put on the bandana on his head and his hands were shaking with excitement as he walked forward and jumped on to the rubble closest to the boat which caused Luffy to sigh.

"Since you're just wasting time how about we duel, Hawk-Eye" Zoro said glaring at the man who looked over to him like he was nothing but an insect.

"If you were a capable swordsman, you would be able to tell the difference in power and skill between us" Mihawk said as he walked in front of Zoro. "So, this is the swordsman you brought onto your crew?"

"The drive and will is there just that he is too cocky as of right now although he shouldn't be after you beat him. I want him back alive" Luffy said as he grabbed the butter knife from his pocket and threw it at Mihawk which he caught making Zoro's eyes twitch.

"What the hell kind of duel is this?" Zoro said in a pissed tone as he looked at Mihawk who had a smirk on his face as he was holding the knife.

"Well, me and my student are not some beasts who would go all out when hunting down a rabbit. My guess is that he carried this around in case you ever challenged him to a duel, I mean a captain wants to keep his crew safe." Mihawk said which caused Zoro to get even more irritated.

"My dream is to be the greatest swordsman in the world, but that doesn't mean I would turn my sword and challenge the man I decided to follow and call my captain" Zoro said which caused Luffy to smile in the background. (You know how the fight goes well, the one-sided beatdown).

"Oi, that wound is going to take a while to completely heal, and I was going to start teaching him haki soon," Luffy said, holding both of his swords, as he stared at Mihawk who had just cut his swordsman across the chest.

"Then he will simply have to push through his limits." Mihawk said with a smirk as he lifted his sword to block Luffy who appeared in front of him. The clash caused the sky to open down the middle and caused what seems to be black and red lighting to go everywhere and sent out a shock blast pushing everybody in the area back except Yamato and Hiyori, and Tama who were around her as she just looked on a little jealous as Luffy was getting to fight and not her.

Luffy and Mihawk continued to trade blows creating even more shockwaves causing waves to crash against the platform as the weather got significantly worse. "Are you not going to use your devil fruit powers?" Mihawk asked with a smirk on his face as he pushed Luffy back.

"It's not like we're going all out, and I don't want to destroy the restaurant" Luffy responded before infusing his sword with even more haki which caused Miahwk to get into his stance once again before they both leaped forward. The 2 ended up on opposite sides, a little cut appearing on Luffy's cheek as well as Mihawks.

"If you would have cut my facial hair you wouldn't have made it to see the end" Mihawk said, as he put his sword on his back. A couple minutes later Mihawk left feeling amused enough which caused Krieg to immediately go back to gloating and him being taken care of by Yamato in one hit as she was getting annoyed as soon as the battle was over the crew went back to the ship as they were annoyed and Sanji went back into the restaurant as he had to get his things ready as he was joining the crew.

"I wouldn't keep struggling when Quetzacoalt gets annoyed when he bites and he's venomous." Luffy stated as he sat on the ledge of the ship looking at the orange haired girl on the ground who couldn't move as the snake was wrapped around the entirety of her body.

"Shut up, I never saw any of you as friends, just a means to an end. I hate pirates" She shouted back, as tears fell from her eyes.

"Eh, is that why you have the jolly roger of a crew tattooed on your arm. It looks like you don't like it by the way you always grab your arm to the point where you draw blood sometimes, but you still have it nonetheless."

Nami continued to cry and stopped struggling as it was proving futile and even if she managed to get free there was no way she would be able to overpower Luffy.

"We're here to help you, Nami."

Nami just stared at the ground for a couple of minutes before finally starting to tell Luffy everything about what happened to her island and how her adoptive mother was killed, and how the fishmen who killed her forced her to join his crew to draw maps for him.

"Then we will go there and free your island and free you, your part of a big family, Nami. But first I need to go get a backup knife" Luffy finished, before he ran into the restaurant.

{III}

"I call fighting their captain." Yamato said as she raised her hand in the sky, a cheeky smile on her face which made Luffy's sweat drop as he could tell she was itching for a fight.

"Are you sure you want to fight Yamato? You could barely walk in the morning" Hiyori said, smirking, teasing her, causing Luffy cross his arms and immediately start gloating, making Zoro grin while Sanji cried tears behind them until Luffy was hit with a thunder bagua by Yamato sending him flying away making both the male members immediately shut up.

Couple Minutes Later

"That actually took longer than I expected," Luffy said laughing as he sat on top of the rubble from Arlong park as Nami and Nojiko were both crying together as the other villagers were celebrating the defeat of the fishmen.

"Chi chi chi, won't you look at that the infamous Arlong pirates were all defeated by some unknown group of brats playing pirates." The man laughed, getting everyone's attention, he turned out to be a marine which for some reason looked like a rat.

'Oh, it's the marine who tried to steal Namis money.'

"Now move over brats so we can take the rest of the money the Fishmen have collected from the people of the Conomi islands." The man said which outraged Nami as to her the money belonged to the people.

"It doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the people who were forced to pay them for their lives while the marines did nothing" Nami said, outraged, which annoyed the marine as he wanted more recognition, and to get a promotion, so he pulled out his pistol and shot at her with a smirk on his face until the bullet was cut in half missing the sisters.

"Oi, I don't appreciate you shooting at my family especially when it's a scummy marine like you" Luffy said holding Sulu in his left hand with his cloak off showing his real appearance which shocked everybody their and confused the original 3 as to why he wasn't wearing his cloak.

"Why the hell is Whitebeard's 2nd division commander here?!" The marines said simultaneously slowly stepping back in fear.

"I just came to collect members for my division. Why else? The only thing I've done is stay in the background as I don't want weak marines coming after me to try and make a name for themselves just like all of you, but since we're leaving soon and they can't stop us, why not give headquarters a headache." Luffy finished before unleashing a controlled wave of conquerors, knocking out the group of marines.

"Finally!" Yamato said as she jumped onto Luffy's back wrapping her legs around his waist essentially making Luffy carry her.

"You act like you don't see the real me when we're in our quarters."

"So, our real captain is the 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard pirates and Lucy was just taking over the role" Zoro said as he looked at Lucy who was seemingly still sitting on top of the rubble.

'But this still doesn't make sense, the same sword that Luffy has is the same as the one Lucy used.'

"Aniki will explain later so don't mention anything" Tama said in a happy voice before running towards Luffy.

{III}

Couple Days Later

"So can we get an explanation, shitty captain?" Sanji said a bit irritated as Zoro just laid against the railing without a care in the world.

"Don't you care about an explanation Zoro?" Nami asked as she noticed he was the only one the members that were picked up in the East blue that did not care.

"Not really, he's my captain and that's all that matters." Zoro said through a yawn.

"Well, the truth is I just put on a cloak to hide myself from the marines and as I said back at Arlong park I did not want to deal with weak marines coming at me trying to make a name for themselves. So, I just changed what I looked like but you were still talking to me. I myself wanted to for my division so that's all the same. And yes, I have 2 devil fruits and the World Government doesn't know so that's why it only says that I have one in the newspapers and it will stay that way for now." Luffy finished as the trio just nodded understanding everything.

"Lucy is just going to be a clone that will use my other powers so he's just going to stay around when we go out onto islands other than that it will be us and whoever else joins on the way until we get back into the New World, and you can meet Oyaji and the rest of the family." Luffy finished with a smile on his face making Ussop go pale as he meant meeting one of the Yonko and the strongest man in the world at that while the other 3 just shrugged, deciding to put their faith in their commander.

"We'll be arriving at Loguetown in an hour so we should get our things ready." Nami said as she stood up and walked off, but was interrupted by a News Coos that came by which caused her to buy it. She started reading it which caused her to scream out in frustration before she fell down, fake tears flowing down her cheeks confusing the entire crew.

Luffy went up and picked up the bounty posters which caused him to smile but it was quickly replaced by a face void of emotion.

Luffy finished reading as he handed out the wanted posters to each one of them with Zoro smirking while Sanji was on the ground sulking at how his was lower than Zoro while Hiyori just sat with Tama.

"You alright, Yamato?" Luffy asked, looking at his lover.

Yamato did not respond for a couple seconds, still just looking at her poster. "Even after I leave, I'm still somehow connected to him. I just want to be my own person, but yet there is still a connection between us both. The common people might not know, but there are still people who will know what it means" Yamato finishes still looking as the epithet the marines gave her.

"How did they even find out?"

"From time-to-time Cipher Pol agents went to Onigashima as he and Orochi sell things to the World Government and I guess they must have found out that he was my father." Yamato answered to which Luffy just nodded before grabbing her head, bringing her towards him and kissing her forehead.

"Soon enough your name will be bigger than his and you will not be in his shadow." He said with a smile on his face which made her put her head on chest.

"I'm surprised you're not sulking because your bounty didn't get raised." She said with a smirk knowing Luffy was always trying to get a bigger bounty.

"I already caused enough chaos in the last year and a half and caused them to finally raise it into the billions. They wouldn't raise it now since we're in the East Blue." Luffy finished laughing a little remembering all the trouble he caused, especially messing with the higher ups in the marines giving them headaches and destroying some of Big Moms, Kaido's territories, while just messing around with Shank's territories.

{III}

"Captain Smoker the crew under Whitebeard's second commander is here!" Shouted a marine as he burst through the door into the office panting.

Smoker just took his cigars out of his mouth before giving the man orders to get as many soldiers ready to go fight as he intended to take the crew and the commander of the yonko most importantly.

"But sir the reinforcements are not even close. And their crew is not weak, headquarters already gave them bounties, and they're all high, especially for the East Blue, but the one with horns is completely different for a starting bounty."

"I don't care we're marines, it's our duty to enforce justice and capture pirates so we will go and capture them. '' Smoker finished before getting up and walking out of his office and to his bike powered by his devil fruit abilities.

With Luffy

"Not a bad view" Luffy said as he sat on top of the platform where Roger died. 'He had an amazing death considering he lived a life of pirates. Most pirates die but not before watching their entire crew die in front of them and feeling helpless not being able to do anything about it, or in the middle of a battle, while you died with a good view, you're one lucky man, Roger.'

"Get off the platform that is property of the World Government signifying its power" a marine spoke as he looked up at the man not able to get a good look at him.

Luffy looked around with a smile as he felt the presence of multiple marines already surrounding the area which made him happy as he was going to get to fight a little. He stood up and was about to jump down until he felt a presence which immediately caught his attention.

The weather above immediately started getting worse with the winds picking up and rain starting to fall. 'I wish mom was here so we could both beat him up. And he is being annoying changing up the weather for no reason' Luffy thought to himself as he saw a cloaked figure on a faraway rooftop which he knew was his dad.

As Luffy looked up his observation suddenly kicked in which caused him to move off to the side as he saw a fist made of smoke attempt to hit him. As he was about to grab the smoke a lightning bolt suddenly struck the platform causing it to collapse.

"What a bastard" Luffy mumbled to himself as he walked out of the rubble.

"I'm not going to let you get away, straw hat" Smoker spoke as he grabbed the jitte of his back.

"Oh, and what are you gonna do smoky" Luffy said in a little mocking tone which irritated Smoker as he rushed forward and tried to hit Luffy with his sea stone tip but was immediately stopped as he was stopped by Luffy with his knife shocking smoker. "You're a little out of your league, but I have to go, I'm already bored of being in the blues." Luffy finished before he rushed the smoker and kneed him in the stomach before kicking him in the head through the wall of a building.

Luffy unleashed a blast of conqueror haki knocking out the other marines before taking off running down the streets on the way to his ship coming across Yamato as she had gone shopping. "You're already causing trouble and we haven't even been here for an hour, but luckily for you I had already got us some clothes" she said with a smile on her face before suddenly jumping on Luffy's back making him stumble before recovering his balance.

Luffy kept running until he stopped as he saw a cloaked figure in front of him. "So, gathering members for your division, and causing trouble like always" the man spoke with a grin on his face.

"The world would be boring if I wasn't messing things up every day. But where is Sabo?" Luffy asked as he wanted to see his older brother.

"He had to go take care of some island who was being ravaged by pirates as they were abandoned by the government, because they couldn't pay the heavenly tribute. But who is the girl on your back?"

"Just my future wife."

"Yo" Yamato said greeting him, raising a single head looking at Dragon without a care in the world, making the man burst out in laughter at how close the 2 were.

"Well that certainly is interesting already having your eye on a future wife."

"Yeah, if you don't try and kill me with your stupid lightning strikes" Luffy said still annoyed, it wouldn't kill him but still a pain in the ass to deal with its not like he was rubber.

"Something like that shouldn't even be close to killing you. But I did hear you want to make Whitebeard the new pirate king so why would you leave the place where the old one died? I just helped you destroy it, to signify that a new one will be crowned." Dragon finished and immediately noticed the smile on Luffy's face.

"It's still annoying to deal with, but not even close to damaging me old man if you really want to kill me, destroy my heart because as long as it keeps pumping, I'm not going to stay down. But just wait until me and mom both see you again, we still plan on kicking your ass" Luffy said with a smirk before starting to walk as he heard multiple marines come his way.

"Yeah, I know she's going to give me a beating when she sees me again." Dragon said to himself as he saw Luffy run off into the distance. 'Let's see what big things you will cause, Luffy' Dragon thought to himself as he disappeared.

{III}

"We're finally going back into the Grand Line," Luffy said as he looked forward and saw the Red Line. He was currently wearing black shorts with a red waist sash and no shirt showing his tattoos.

"How are we even supposed to get into the Grand Line if the Red Line is blocking the way?" Nami shouted, frustrated as he had no idea what to do.

"Up the mountain" answered Luffy and Yamato simultaneously, making Nami have a confused look on her face at what the hell they just said. Yamato was now wearing a new pair of red hakama pants, a sleeved white kimono with diamond shaped designs on both sides with an indigo wisp patterned bottom half, and red obi.

"I still can't believe they had kimonos and stuff there. I didn't think they had any since samurais don't really exist here. Maybe some samurai came through here before and left an impression or something leading to shops like that being established here."

"Oi Zoro, show me your swords ever since we came back. I keep feeling a familiar presence that I felt before '' Luffy said looking at the green haired swordsman who was laying down against the railing.

Zoro just complied before grabbing the 2 swords he had and handing them both to Luffy who started looking at them and immediately stopped as he unsheathed the Kitetsu. "So, you have the Sandai Kitetsu," Luffy said out loud, which got Hiyori's and Tamas' attention.

"What do you know about it? The owner of the shop didn't even want me to get it saying it was a cursed blade."

"All of the Kitetsu blades are cursed. I have held the Nidai and the aura of that is completely different from this one," Luffy says, staring at the blade.

"And did you get stuck with the curse?"

"Eh, I don't know. Hitetsu said I did, since I unsheathed it and took control of it, but nothing has happened yet so he is probably wrong. I mean I don't even know what the curse is." Luffy finished handing Zoro back his sword.

"Wow, you really are full of surprises, Roronoa." Hiyori adds, wanting to slightly irritate Zoro as she enjoyed teasing him a which doesn't work as he just falls asleep causing Hiyori to pout as she got no reaction.

{III}

"I didn't even know you could go up a mountain. What the hell is wrong with this place" Nami screamed as they were now on top of Reverse Mountain and were about to descend into the Grand line.

Luffy just smiled as he put down a barrel in front of everybody. "Well, we should all announce our dreams right here." Luffy said with a smile on his face as he put his foot on top of the barrel.

"My dream is to make Oyaji the Pirate King."

"My dream is to take down my father."

"My dream is to become the world's greatest swordsman."

"My dream is to find the all blue."

"My dream is to free my homeland."

"My dream is to make a map of the entire world."

"My dream is to make my homeland free so the people can eat as much as they want."

"My dream is to become a brave warrior of the sea."


Authors Notes

Sorry this chapter took so long to get out, I was extremely busy with school as they kept handing out reviews which I had to turn in as it was preparing us for finals and what not, and I barely wrote during my free time as I was lacking motivation to keep writing this chapter as I was writing the first chapter for another One Piece story, that I will post who knows when.

*Yo, read the stuff below this at least. Kind of important notice for updates. *

I will be out of the country I live in from the 8th till the 29th of June so this is going to be the only chapter of any story that I post for this month. When I come back, I will start writing the next chapter and try to get it done as fast I can. If it doesn't come out in July than something went horribly wrong lol.
