Chapter 59: Heart to Heart
Queen Moon told the story about how when she was about Star's age how Toffee had killed her mother in cold blood. How she had to come to a decision what to do with the monster army that Toffee was leading after breaking off the leader of the Monsters despite her grief. She decided to meet with Eclipsa who was Crystalized, Rhombulus un-crystalized her head for a bit. She gave the new queen a spell to does Toffee but once and for all but in exchange once he was dead she would be free. In order for it properly work, she would have to aim directly at his heart. However she choose to aim at his finger though. IT caused his army to flee in terror and she had earned the respect of everyone afterwards she what she had to take to be queen and earning the title "Undaunted".
"Oh… damn…" said Star unsure how else to respond.
"So there's something else to talk about." said Queen Moon.
"Where do you want to start?" asked Star.
"You didn't tell me anything about it." Said Queen Moon.
"Admit! You would have forbid me from seeing Luffy because he was form dangerous dimension!" yelled Star.
Queen Moon began to think about… Would she have? Would she have banned Star form ever seeing Luffy.
"I don't know." She answered.
"Of course that would be your answer." Muttered Star.
"But only in the first few months, a year at most." Said Queen Moon.
"What?" asked Star.
"If it was just a random boy you had just met. But after a few months of you going to visit him and him coming over to visit… I probably wouldn't have heart to." Said Queen Moon.
"I see…" said Star.
"About their parents." Said Queen Moon.
"I shouldn't be the one to tell you about Sabo's parents." Muttered Star, "You need to ask Sabo about them."
"Ace and Luffy?" asked Queen Moon.
"Ace's dad died before he was born and his mother died after childbirth." Said Star, "And Luffy… we're not lying when we say we have no idea."
Queen Moon looked at her.
"So you know nothing about his family." Said Queen Moon.
"No… we know his grandpa, we don't have any idea about his parents. "said Star.
"What?" asked Queen Moon .
"When we were kids, me, Ace and Sabo decided to ask him. He said it was none of our business." Muttered Star, "Then he grabbed Ace and Sabo and threw him in a ravine, then he found Luffy and did the same thing."
"What? Are you making it up?" asked Queen Moon.
"No I'm not!" said Star, "You can ask them about Garp… or dad! Dad has met Luffy's grandpa! And he's nuts!"
Queen Moon sighed.
"How are you okay with pirates?" asked Queen Moon, "I mean…"
"Not all pirates are bad" muttered Star, "I mean there's plenty of bad pirates…"
She sighed.
"Wait… when you met Ace and Sabo…" said Queen Moon.
"They were attacked by pirates, not monsters." Said Star.
"What… why?" asked Queen Moon.
"Well… they did start it." Said Star starching her cheek, "The two of them stole treasure from the pirates. But we did beat them and rescue Luffy."
Queen didn't know how to react.
"But there's plenty of good ones." Said Star, "Like Shanks!"
"Shanks?" asked Queen Moon.
"When we were little he started using Luffy's island as home base." Said Star, "They're weren't about threatening people. They just wanted to have fun and adventure. They would often party at the local tavern. His entire crew loved both us and Luffy."
Queen Moon began to think of something.
"What the hell not like that mom! Like uncles and not the creepy." Said Star getting offended, "Heck if any of them were like that I'm sure Yasopp or Shanks would have beaten them up."
"Yasopp?" asked Queen Moon.
"He's one of Shanks' sharpshooters. He has a son that's me and Luffy's age. He always talked about him to us." Explained Star.
"I see…" said Queen Moon, "But..."
"Shanks saved Luffy's life." Said Star.
Queen Moon's eyes widened when Star said.
"Luffy should tell you the rest of the story." Said Star, "Shanks is special to me and especially Luffy."
"I see." Said Queen Moon, she was tempted to ask if he ostracized the rescue, but something told her not to ask, "Sabo and Ace are pirates."
"Yeah." Said Star.
"So they're crews." Said Queen Moon.
"Ace's situation so complicated right now." Said Star.
"What do you mean?" asked Queen Moon.
"It's complicated… that's all I will say." Said Star.
"What about Sabo?" asked Queen Moon.
"You should talk to him about his crew." Pointed out Star.
"You're right." Sighed Queen Moon.
"I'm sorry I keep saying you should talk to them, but you really should, it's not just me keeping the secret." Said Star.
"I know that." Said Queen Moon, "Can you at least tell me the truth about their powers?"
"Oh right… that." Said Star, "You see in the Blue Dimension there are these fruits called Devil Fruit. The first person to take a bite out of one gains a special power… that's really how Luffy and Ace got their powers."
There was an awkward silence as Star realized something.
"Did you really leave the mad scientist story?" she asked.
"I knew that Luffy couldn't have been captured by a mad scientist." Said Queen Moon.
"Then what did you think he got his powers form?" asked Star.
"I don't know." Said Queen Moon, "I knew whatever it was, it wasn't magic."
"It's not magic?" asked Star surprised, "I always thought it was."
"No… it's not." Said Queen Moon.
"Huh… I guess it was good I came up with the mad scientist story" said Star.
"Let me guess, Sabo came up with the Fire spirit story." Sighed Queen Moon.
"He did." Said Star, "But seriously you bought the Mad Scientist Story."
"No I didn't!" said queen Moon blushing, "I just figured there was a good reason why you didn't tell m about the powers."
"And that was reason we were worried would make you freak the hell out." Said Star.
Queen Moon sighed.
They were starting to run out of topics.
Thankfully Star picked up on that too.
"Maybe when this is finally all over I should introduce you to Makino." Said star.
"Makino?" asked Queen Moon.
"She's from Luffy's home town, she's always been something of a big sister to us. Always looking out." Said Star.
"She sounds nice." Said Queen Moon.
Star started to cry she knew was time to her mom about the incident.
"Star?" asked Queen Moon.
"We have to talk about it." Cried Star.
"What happened?" asked Queen Moon.
"I was kidnapped." Cried Star, "And it wasn't because of pirates."
"Who kidnapped you?" asked Queen Moon.
Star began to explain about the how the Blue Dimension was controlled by a single World Government. And that the decadents of the founders of the Government were allowed to keep slaves.
Star then explained the details of her kidnapping and rescues. Including that a member of Sabo's crew, Hancock (explaining the basic details who she was) and Janna helping out.
Queen Moon was in absolute shock.
"Star… I…" said Queen Moon.
"I'm taking a break from random adventures." Said Star.
Queen Moon's eyes widened.
"After what happened… I just can't." cried Star, "I'm still going to the Blue Dimension but only to certain locations… Dawn Island, Amazon Lily and Baterilla are the only places I'll go… oh and Sabo's ship. Maybe Ace's once he get his act together."
"Where are those places?" asked Queen Moon.
"Dawn Island is Luffy's home, Amazon Lily is Hancock's island and Baterilla is where Ace was born… his mom is buried there and we come with him to see her." Said Star.
Queen Moon hugged Star and cried a lot.
"You shouldn't have gone through that." Cried Queen Moon, "You shouldn't have!"
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you before this." Cried Star.
Queen Moon didn't respond.
The two of them just cried.
Things were changing between the two of them…
However that wasn't the only thing changing.
Elsewhere Ludo woke up when his Eagle and Spider returned from Brita's tacos with a nice fresh taco for him.
"What! Where's the Magic High Commission!" he yelled.
That was when he saw his new wand hand.
"My hand is a wand!" he yelled, "But I don't' want a wand hand."
Then the wand hand began to talk to him.
"I defeated the Magic High Commission." Said Ludo.
The wand continued to tell him things and then gestured at the castle nearby.
"If I was able to lay waste to the Magic High Commission then yes… maybe I should take Butterfly Castle for myself." Said Ludo with an evil smile.
And Ludo began to form a place to take Butterfly castle by force.
Which obviously was the next stage in Toffee's plan… after all he was in the wand
