A/N: As you guys can tell yes, I'm continuing this story and other stories. I've been holding on to my other fanfics for a lot of time due to college classes, so don't worry about them not being finished.

(Last time...)

Luffy stretched his arm out and proceeded to launch it out towards the sea king. He shouted "Gum!...Gum!..."

SMACK!

"PISTOL!"

Everyone on the sky deck stopped screaming and had their eyes widened. The gang couldn't believe what they have just seen. They knew Luffy had powers but never knew how powerful he could be.

Moseby was the most shocked at all to the point of even fainting.

Luffy retracted his arm and said "Haha! That was fun!"

(Present)

After that occurred, a hooded figure near the crowd crossed his fingers and let the sea king back into his world. The hooded figure went into the Men's bathroom quickly and made sure no one was in the stalls or urinals. He proceeded to unveil his hood revealing his identity, Captain G also known as Alex Grimm.

"Straw Hat sure is strong. Too bad, he doesn't bother investigating why he's here." He crossed his fingers again and said "Portal-Portal." He walked into the portal he made, and it vanishes into thin air.

Meanwhile, Luffy was saddened that the sea king's body was nowhere to be found. Finally, something from his world and it's gone like it vanished. There were people still in shock as top what happened, but the gang tried getting Luffy away from the people as they started to ask him questions.

Moseby doing his thing trying to get people away from Luffy and struggling to do so. Though, Luffy didn't mind.

Woody spoke for everybody "Well that was impressive."

"Impressive? He punched a monster with only just that... a punch..." Cody remarked.

Moseby walked around to get Luffy away from the people asking him too many questions near his desk. He started to scream "Enough!"

Everyone stood silent as he yelled. "Now listen here. Under no circumstances are everyone going to approach Mr. Luffy as if you're his biggest fan. It's going to create a stir across the passengers." Everyone was displeased by this but eventually walked away as they saw Alex Grimm walk and Moseby went on to take care of that.

Luffy started to laugh at Moseby trying to stop this because it looked so funny seeing the guy scream at people. Bailey walked by trying to find Luffy and she saw him laughing at something. Noticing the Moseby dealing with Alex Grimm away from the fangirls she used this to her advantage.

"Psst! Luffy!"

"Hm, oh it's you!" She put her finger on her lips to mean 'be quiet' and gestures him to come over to her. Luffy approaches her away from Moseby's desk and proceeded to follow her. "What do you want?" Luffy asked her as she says she wants him to be in her room for a few minutes.

As they walked quickly to her room, Luffy was amazed by some of the things on the ship (particularly the food), which annoyed Bailey trying to get him to focus.

She opened the door, and they went inside. "Ok, take a seat." She gestures to the chair.

Luffy raised an eyebrow and sat. Realizing this is a spinning chair he started to have fun with it until she kept telling him to stop. It's pointless. He kept spinning as she was trying to ask him questions.

He slowly spun and proceeded to listen. She asked him "Ok, now that I have your attention. Where do you come from?"

"East Blue." He replied, 'East Blue?' kind of a strange place to be called. She wrote that down and proceeded to ask a few more questions such as why he is a pirate, what's his crew like, and what rank was he on the ship.

She was surprised by the answers she got. The reason he's a pirate is that he wants to find the treasure known as the One Piece and become the Pirate King. His explanation of his crew was weird: a man with three swords, a cook, a navigator, a sniper who lies a lot, an archaeologist, a reindeer doctor, a cyborg shipwright, and a skeleton musician. However, when she found out that he's the captain of the ship that's the one that surprised her the most.

After a few minutes of asking Luffy more questions, she decided to keep him inside her room until the people trying to see him will stop.

"Listen Luffy I'm going to check something outside. Mind staying here."

"Do I have to? It's going to get boring?"

Bailey made a face and said, "It's for your safety."

"If you say so." He said not taking anything seriously as of now.

(With Alex Grimm)

He pondered in his room, pacing back and forth, thinking and talking to himself, "Darn Straw Hat…. I shouldn't have underestimated him… the power of his Devil Fruit only makes me amused and jealous at the same time."

He smirked "But the power of my Portal-Portal Fruit should be inevitable. When he and I fight it will be glorious." A knock on the door occurred and Grimm asked who was in an annoyed tone. The knocker reveals themself to be Mr. Moseby. Alex greeted him and asked him what he wanted. Moseby told Grimm that dinner should be in an hour and told him that he had nothing to worry about another sea monster.

Although Grimm did not care about this, he smirked that he let the passengers feel fear from a pirate. Moseby went on his way and Grimm went back planning out his plot against Straw Hat Luffy.

Grimm muttered to himself, "Soon Straw hat, your crew, and mine will face in this world."

(With Moseby)

He walked back to his desk continuing to manage the S.S. Tipton. He couldn't help but shake a cold feeling he's been getting ever since he's been interacting with Alex Grimm. As if there was something about him that didn't feel right. For example, the way he talked was not like any normal teenager. However, he put these thoughts aside and just went along with his day.

He started to walk around to see if any guests need any help with getting to their rooms or whatsoever.

Bailey came by and sat down near the lobby. She opened her laptop and started typing locations, such as 'East Blue' and 'Thousand Sunny'.

Nothing... Nothing came up with her search results. She shook her head, although just because it doesn't exist on the internet doesn't mean it hasn't or will exist later on. Though, she doesn't know how one can argue a witnessing of a giant sea monster being punched by a guy who can stretch his arms.

She noticed Cody was walking by and greeted him. They started to talk about Luffy. Cody was adamant about trying to do more research on him.

"Listen, you can research him, you're very intelligent. I don't know why you need me exactly; I would feel useless in the research." Cody said heartfully.

"You're not gonna be useless, it's just I've run amok in trying to research anything on this guy," Bailey said as she continued to explain her search results, tried to find locations, and how nothing came up.

"Well, have you tried portals opening in the sky or other locations about that?" Cody suggested and she made a face that said 'Not yet as I haven't thought of that' look.

"But that part I think we can help each other." She said proudly. They started to look at each other and kissed.
