Hancock POV

.

My darling Luffy, she knew, he would make it, and what an entrance. Only the best for her darling. Falling from the sky like a shooting star, the star of her heart.

Those barbarians in Impel Down better have not hurt a hair in his precious head or they will feel her wrath, sighed Hancock while clutching her hands to her chest oblivious to the fact (or she didn't care, will be more accurate) that her rosy cheeks were turning men to stone all around her.

Some asshole was shouting (talking) at her, trying to distract her from her beloved. She paid him no mind, choosing to focus on more important and vital things, namely her darling.

Luffy was waving at her. Yes Luffy, darling I am here, I knew you would make it, she wanted to shout and wave back.

Someone was near her beloved. A girl with black hair drenched in water, wearing a God awful outfit (black and hideous purple?) and was flailing her hands like a chicken trying to get her attention.

She ignored her.

Her Luffy was smiling.

"Aaaaaaaaaceeeeeeeeeeeeee..."

She heard his battle cry and her heart went to him.

Ohh Luffy, don't you worry, she thought, I, Hancock will help you save Ace, after all he was her future brother in law.

"Who is that clown with the ugly nose," she couldn't help but gasp.

How dare this ruffian grab her Luffy, when she could only dream about it.

"Ohh.. that captain Buggy from the Buggy pirates," said the same fool that was trying to distract her from feasting her eyes on her beloved. She may even let his grievance against her slide, for giving her this important information.

Buggy, she was gonna skin him alive and feed…

"What the hell are you doing?" she shouted outraged.

The brute touched her hand, her hand, apart of her body that she devoted to her beloved.

The man wasn't able to open his mouth before she kicked him, while turning him instantly into stone, to the other side of the battlefield, hitting several unsuspecting marines in his way, they screamed their shock.

She merely glance at them and said, "Silence, you brutes! You are distracting me from my beloved."

She added, her soft hands on her hips, her nose up in the sky, she refused to look at those animals.

"I can do whatever I want and I will be forgiven, because I am beautiful."

They all sighed with hearts in their eyes and nodded their agreement with her.

Disgusting Barbarians.

That ruffian Bady was being dragged away from her beloved, by someone. Good, those animals better stay far away from her beloved.

"What the.." ohhh, Lina, her adorable little sister was the one doing the dragging! What the hell was she wearing? What happened to the cute outfit she gave her. It doesn't matter, she was here, Luffy would have been devastated if anything happened to her.

Luffy was talking to a big women or was it a man with horrible purple hair now, and was that tiara in his (or her) head? What the...

She looked around her and sneered, anyone will do. She pointed at random at a marine and demanded, "who is the person with purple head?"

The man had the gall to turn into stone without answering.

How dare those …

"That Emporio Ivankov, the king of the Kamabakka Kingdom, he is a commander of the Revolutionary Army," shouted a marine (she couldn't be bothered to distinct between them, they were all savages, except her Luffy, of course), who was beating to death for his troubles by his angry fellow comrades for his forwardness.

"Where is.. " her beloved, she barely stopped herself from shouting.

He disappeared, she looked frantically from side to side. She was gonna destroy those savages low-life that made her distracted.

Ohhh here he was, she gasped, her beloved was standing on the Moby Dick ship like he owned it (she wanted to squeal) speaking to Whitebeard.

.

Lina POV

.

"Okay guys, I was looking for you, listen, this is a Tone dial. We are gonna use it… " Lina trailed off.

She just come back from speaking to some of the other pirates, using CAPTAIN Buggy as motivation, to help her with parts of her plan when the time comes. Buggy, ran away five minutes into her explanation saying something about surveying the battlefield among the cheers of some of the pirates, the coward.

Not that it mattered, they listened well enough, it helped that Bon-chan was there supporting her. She even took some aside (those that looked more trustworthy?!, They were following BUGGY for God sake) and explained to them about the Tone dials.

Which bring us to the current situation.

She and Bon-chan, who was trailing behind her, were looking for Iva-chan and Jinbe and some of the others like Mr.3, and … Buggy? (So, to here he fled!) to explain about Tone dials and some tasks she wanted done urgently.

When she found them on the deck facing the right side, she called for them and tried to begin to explain, they didn't have any time to waste.

Tired was the Keyword.

She blinked several times, nope, they were still there.

By there, she mean frozen, open mouthed and not blinking. It wasn't beautiful sight by any means, she shuddered. She would probably have nightmares about some of their teeth.

They looked shocked like they had just seen ghosts, (Shit, Perona wasn't here, was she?).

No, that wasn't accurate, it was like their understating of life and grip on reality were swept from under their feet (Well, that did happen in a way, they dived to here from the sky). The only one normal looking, but was still ignoring her, was Jinbe.

"Hmmm, lets see," she muttered to herself. They were looking at …

Luffy!

What the hell did he do now? Run in loop in her head.

He was speaking with a man, huge build and white moustache.

"Whitebeard," she realized and uttered out loud.

That was actually good, he was Ace's captain and was also here to save him, and they should definitely tell him about those damn marines changing the execution time.

"Great thinking Luffy," she cheered.

She turned around, yup, they still looked frozen.

Maybe Hancock-nee froze them, come to her mind.

.

.

She tried poking Mr.3.

He fell off.

Oops.

.

.

.

But he didn't break.

Not Hancock-nee then.

Hmmmm… she felt like she was missing something, something rather obvious.

Hmm …

When a thought occurred to her, Shit, no, no, …. no, please tell me that Luffy didn't ask the strongest man in the world, if he pooped? (This was Luffy they were talking about, nothing was off limit. Off limit, what was that? It it food? meat?).

It would unquestionably explain their shocked expression, she thought while eyeing them speculatively.

Bon-chan was trying to help Mr.3 to stand up? Wakeup?

Hmmmm…

When finally the meaning of her own thoughts really fluttered inside of her brain, she panicked (she was not proud of it).

Damage control, Damage control, she repeated the words like mantra in her head.

"Damage control," she wanted to scream.

She looked hysterically around, spotted Bon-chan looking more worried now and still trying to help Mr. 3, and gripped him "Bon-chan, when they wake up, explain to them everything I told you."

She gave him several of the Tone dials and reminded him, "and the tasks," and hastily run to the edge of the ship.

"Count on me, Linnna-chaaannn," he shouted looking quite proud of himself.

Lina jumped to where Luffy was standing in the huge ship, staff in her hand, ready, just in case.

Luffy turned around and smiled without care or thought about the mini heart attack that he almost gave his little sister.

"Lina, you are finally here, finished everything?"

"Yeah, everything is alright?" She asked, still very wary.

Now, that she was here, she realized that Luffy wasn't the only one that jumped into this ship. Crocodile was surrounded by armed Whitebeard pirates that looked quite unhappy with him. That moron

"Oh, yeah, that asshole Corco tried to attack the old man, I took care of it, Shishishi."

Oh that explained it.

Luffy continued cheerily, "Ahhh… don't worry, I told the old man about those bastards marines changing the execution time."

She relaxed her tense shoulders and her death grip on her staff, and said, "Great Luffy, that's really good! I was sure that you picked fight with him or something."

Immediately, Luffy averted his eyes and scrunched up his nose, and he was trying really hard to stop himself from whistling.

She tensed again, I know this look, not good, not good at all, she privately thought.

She mastered her most stern voice, "Lufffffyyyyyy."

"What," he answered angrily, "I just told him that I am gonna save Ace, and I will be the king of the pirates."

Typical Luffy, nothing new, she breathed sigh of relief.

Whitebeard was observing them silently. Lina relaxed her grip on her staff and put it on her back.

Now that she looked at him (Whitebeard), she couldn't help but notice, that he looked more enormous than he seemed few meters away, and seemed veryyy intimidating, the air around him was … electrifying.

She expected nothing less from the strongest man in the world.

No, that was not right, she thought.

She expected nothing less from the man that Ace decided to follow, the man that his jolly roger was Ace's pride and joy.

"Gave me a second," she told Luffy, who gave a small nod as consent, and turned to the edge of the ship, leaving her alone to confront this legend.

Well, remember your manners Lina, she told herself and turned fully to face the old man as Luffy dubbed him.

"Hello, I am Lina D. Monkey, the sister of this knucklehead and the other one under your care, pleased to meet you," she gave a small bow.

He didn't say anything, didn't gave any indication that he heard her. But she continued nonetheless, "if you don't mind me asking," she waited for a nod, a sign, anything.

All she get was a narrowed eyes, I will take whatever I get, she supposed.

"Is it true that your crew members call you oyaji?"

His eyes narrowed dangerously this time, and his aura changed, nevertheless he answered in curt voice, "Yes, that's true."

His voice told her that she was walking on glass thin ice.

But she didn't care.

.

Lina felt her body sag with relief, like a burden she was carrying for so long was finally taking from her back. A burden she didn't even realize she was carrying to begin with, to even notice how much it was pulling her down, until it was gone.

She erupted with Joyful laughter that she couldn't stop. No, she didn't want it to stop.

This was great, what a relief, she thought to herself while still laughing uncontrollably, at least I was able to stop myself from hugging the old man. He probably would not had appreciated it.

Whitebeard was eyeing her suspiciously, but still didn't show any onward reaction. He was waiting, she realized. I think I bewildered him, will he wasn't the only one.

She gave him her best smile, and bowed properly this time, like Ace would have done (Makino would have been proud).

"Thank you, thank you, this makes me so happy, you don't know how much, thank you," she babbled for a while and had to force herself to stop.

Lina held herself-straight, and looked at Ace's father in the eyes and said, "Thank you for giving Ace the opportunity to call someone willingly father," she gave another deep bow.

"Please continue taking care of him in the future."

His eyes soften and his posture relaxed and he opened his mouth, when someone called "Oyaji", they both turned to the source of voice.

A blonde guy, he was in mid jump. Pineapple head shape and lazy eyes.

Yup she knew him, she snickered, he fits Ace's description perfectly, Marco the phoenix, first commander of the Whitebeard fleet.

Ohh, she almost forget.

"Marco, right," she called when he landed on the ship, and continued without waiting for his acknowledgment.

"Nice to meet ya, please listen to this privately."

She threw him the Tone dial which he reflexively caught.

"You only have to press the apex of the shell."

She then turned to where her brother was standing. He was still there, phew, patience wasn't one of Luffy's strong suit.

"I am ready," she told him. And she really was, she didn't intend to have any regrets.

Luffy dragged her besides him near the edge of ship, they both faced the battlefield, and when their eyes found Ace, they both shouted simultaneously.

"Accceeeeee, here we came."

.

.

Yeah, here goes nothing.

Ivankov POV

.

"Those two," muttered Ivankov.

They jumped into the fray with such determination, he expected nothing less from his children.

He had to admit, they consistently surprised him, particularly when he thought that he finally figured them out.

From the start, when Bon-chan and Lina-chan brought the dying boy to him, and he tried to explain to them that he most likely (understatement, he was gonna die) wouldn't survive the treatment. Lina dismissed his warnings, didn't bat an eye at it, and insisted that he will survive, cause he was Luffy.

Survive he did.

Then it turned out those two gutsy children, were the children of his companion, and the man they all called their leader, Dragon.

To say it was a shock to discover this fact (because he had no doubt that this was A F A C T) will be an understatement, he can't help but snicker at the memory. Luffy spilling the beans so unbothered while he, Ivankov, was still given his epic speech, which earned him a hit on the head from his sister and a hiss it's a secret, grandpa told us not to tell anyone.

Of course, their GRANDPA. Dragon's own father, this was one can of worms he didn't want to open, Just Yet.

Those two were so different, like the moon and the sun, winter and summer. Luffy was headstrong (his stubbornness would put some of the Yonkos to shame), honest to fault, wears his feeling on his sleeves literally, and not afraid of anything (yet afraid for everyone he considered a friend) and so very loud.

In the other hand, his sister Lina, was quiet as shadow, shadow does fit her well actually. She let her brother shine while she stays hidden in the shadow observing and analyzing, like snake waiting for the right moment to strike. Her poker face, dare he say, was almost perfect (except at those moments at the ship where she clutched her brother hand), she probably could lie through her teeth without batting an eye either.

They were so different, yet…

Yet they had absolute trust in each other. When they decided on a course of action, than nothing can deter them from it.

Like now, trying to save their big brother, risking their lives (and others, including his) without another thought, not considering or caring about any of the consequences. Ivankov couldn't help but respect their tenacity.

He was more than little surprised when Luffy left Lina-chan alone to speak with Whitebeard (he blames this at the effects of the previous shock). He was still recovering from the first shock of Luffy standing up to the strongest man in the world, and then right after having chat with him like old pals.

To have another shock thrown at him, when that crazy girl begin laughing hysterically, at? With? (Whitebeard wasn't laughing. Thank the gods he didn't hurt her, imagine having to fight the strongest man in the world, he shivered). He could had sworn that he heard the clown murmur something about insanity run in the family, to stay with or was it runaway.

Their personally was so different yet so compatible, they were Yin and Yang. He couldn't yet figure the girl out (not that he completely figured strawhat-boya), but if Luffy was an enigma then Lina was an enigma inside of an enigma.

Even their fighting style was the same, different but compatible, he observed. While Luffy attacked everything in his way head on, holding nothing back. His sister kept watch over his and her blind sides, and patiently and accurately attacked, her moves were very deliberate and yet unpredictable.

Ouch, that must have been nasty, he thought witnessing them fighting (well, beating) some marines, there were some sniggers and laughs around him, the marines looked stunned. A vice admiral was the unlucky victim, if he wasn't mistaken. She wasn't afraid of fighting dirty either, admired Ivankov.

They were jewels that needed little bit of polishing and guiding to shine the brightest, and then they will be ….

They will be…

Ivankov felt his stomach flutter, vhat vas this feeling, he wondered … was it fear, dread, no… it was excitement to the future they may bring.

Ivankov realized at this moment, that he maybe begin this journey determined to help those two because of their father. But right now he was helping them (still determined, more than ever) because he yearned to see the miracles they will make along the way, now and in the future.

"hov the preparations are going?" demanded Ivankov for the third time, he was feeling quite impatient, he wanted to join the fight already and support them. At least Jinbe was fighting along with them, he told himself to relax and observe for now.

"I sent several people from the Okama people, like Lina suggested, to do the tasks she requested. I reminded them to be discreet," Inazuma answered.

"vhere did the clown go?" Wondered Ivankov eyeing his people.

"Buggy's group are gone to speared chaos allover. Lina apparently told them, and I quote, They are the underdogs, the marines are gonna ignore them and focus on the real threats in their eyes, the Whitebeard pirates, and that's why she is counting on them to steal the show and become the real stars. But to truly shine they need the broadcast Den Den Mushi, for the world to see their bravery."

"vhat speech," laughed Ivankov, manipulative too vhen need be, enigma indeed.

"You should have heard the cheers," murmured back Inazuma and added, "Apparently even Buggy got to the spirit of things, when the pirates repeated her words to him."

"vhat about Mr.3?"

Inazuma shrugged, "Bon-chan whispered something in his ears, and he was gone."

"Then ve are ready, no more tasks?"

"Ready as we can be," Inazuma answered while being swallowed by his hair.

No more waiting.

Ivankov commanded, "ve are gonna support Lina-chan and strawhat-boya, after me," cheers erupted all over.

.

Ivankov jumped instantly without looking behind him, following the trail of destruction those two left behind.
