"I literally can't believe your crewmate is stealing from Dad's restaurant."said Lori, as currently the family was heading to Lynn's Table to stop Zoro from raiding the liquor cabinet.
"I still wonder how he ended up there. Zoro has a terrible sense of direction so he must have ended up there by complete coincidence."said Lincoln with a nonchalant attitude, as currently he was more focused on getting whatever was in his ear out of his eardrum.
"Can't you take this a little more seriously!"said Lana, as she was surprised by how nonchalant Lincoln was being.
"Why, Nami can just negotiate out of not paying full price."said Lincoln, as that was usually how the Strawhat Pirates got out of paying for most of their damage at full price.
"Okay dude, first you're not even sure if this Nami person is even here. And two, your friend is literally stealing from your own father!"said Luna, as Lincoln managed to get what appeared to be a tick out his eardrum and flicked it away.
"Oh yeah."said Lincoln, although he didn't appear to be interested.
"That Portal Device thingy really affected your personality, Lincoln."said Leni, as the Lincoln she remembered would be more concerned than this current Lincoln.
"Whatever, we just need to stop your friend from drinking all of the liquor from the liquor cabinet. I have a very important dinner for a food critic and he specifically asked for an expensive wine from the liquor cabinet."said Lynn Sr, worried that his son's friend has already drunk in the expensive wine that was supposed to go with the dinner he was planning to make for the famous food critic.
"Don't worry honey, I'm sure he hasn't got into it yet."said Rita, although her expression was telling that she wasn't so hopeful about the outcome of the expensive wine.
Soon Vanzilla drove up to the restaurant and everyone quickly got off as soon as they parked! Lynn Sr let the charge as he and his family entered the restaurant and looked around, only to see a scared Kotaro hiding behind the cash register.
"Lynn, thank goodness you're here."said Kotaro, as he ran over to hug his friend.
"Kotaro, what in the ding dang happened?"asked Lynn Sr, wondering how all of this transpired while he was gone.
"I was taking out the trash when this green haired thug appeared out of nowhere and asked me if there was any good booze around. Before I could get a word and he pushed past me and started looking through the cabinets of the kitchen saying that he was hungry and that he'll pay later."said Kotaro, as he was currently very shaken up."
"Why didn't you call the police?"asked Rita, although Lincoln just rolled his eyes, as he was sure that no police in Royal Woods could take on Zoro.
His first official crewmate has gone toe to toe with some of the strongest monsters of the Gran Line. There was Kaku of CP9, Mr. 1 or Baroque Works, Ohm from Skypiea, The zombie samurai Ryuma, and most recently Pica from the DonQuixote family.
There was no way any policeman would be able to take Zoro on. It would probably take the entire police force to even have a chance, and that was a very slim chance!
"I thought of doing that, but the man had a sword, actually three swords but you get my point! I considered leaving the restaurant to phone for help as the guy accidentally cut the phone lines, but I didn't want to leave that expensive wine that will either make or break Lynn's Table alone."said Kotaro, as he revealed he managed to get the wine out of the kitchen.
"Oh thank you, Kotaro, you're a real pal."said Lynn as he hugged his best friend for a job well done.
"Oh! Zoro come on out."called out Lincoln, shocking the rest of his family as they couldn't believe how nonchalant he was being, even if he was his friend.
"Hey, Lincoln, there you are. Do you have any idea what island we're currently on?"asked Zoro as he stepped out of the kitchen.
"Actually, I think it's a bit more complicated than that. But before that can you compensate my dad for all the drinks you drank?"asked Lincoln, as Zoro looked over at the Loud family.
The Loud family was honestly intimidated as Zoro, like their son was packing in the muscles, and the scars he had on his body had only added to his intimidating look!
"Sure."said Zoro as he threw a bag over Rita.
Rita open the bag and was surprised to see that it was filled with solid gold coins.
"I'm surprised you had that on you."said Lincoln, surprised to see that Zoro had money on him.
"After we defeated the DonQuixote family, I took some of their treasure as I know for fact Nami would have been super pissed if we didn't take any treasure with us. So as they were fixing up the damage after the battle, I found bags of treasure just lying in a DonQuixote family safe house and decided to take it so she wouldn't get on our case again."said Zoro, as his muscles could still feel the jolt of electricity Nami put the monster trio through after they gave all the treasure they were given by the Fishman Kingdom over to the Big Mom Pirates, in order for them to forgive the month of no candy because of the failed coup, courtesy of the New Fishman Pirates.
"These are real."said Lisa as she analyzed the coins and was surprised to see that they were made of solid gold.
"Once I take these to a broker, the money should be more than enough to cover what you drank."said Lynn Sr, as Zoro just shrugged his shoulders.
"Eh, don't worry about it. Your booze was quite good and I honestly don't care much about money, so take it, I honestly don't care."said Zoro, as money has never been a real issue for him.
He could sleep pretty much anywhere, and if he was thirsty he could always drink in a river. If he was hungry he would use himself as bait into a Sea King arrived, only to beat it up and eat it instead.
The only thing he really ever spent money on was booze.
"So where are the others?"asked Zoro, wondering if Lincoln knew where the rest of their crewmates are.
"I honestly don't have any idea. Lisa do you have any idea?"asked Lincoln, as he looked over to his genius little sister.
"Well... the fact that your crewmate is here... when it should have only been you shows that my invention may have worked a little too well..."said Lisa is something went wrong when they brought Lincoln back, as Zoro shouldn't even be standing in this world in the first place.
"What do you mean kid,? And how do you know Lincoln?"asked Zoro, as there was so many questions right now.
"Allow me to explain as best I can."said Lisa as she coughed a little too ready her throat for a long explanation.
[One explanation later]
"So all of you are my Captain's biological family, And the little girl in glasses built a device to bring Lincoln back to this world and somehow dragged me and possibly the others here as well."said Zoro, as currently everyone was sat down at the big table at the restaurant.
"Yeah..."said Rita, pretty much summing up what Lisa had just explained.
"Yeah, it's literally nice to meet you Zoro."said Lori as she shook Zoro's hand, and was surprises to feel how strong his grip was.
"Yeah, nice to meet you."said Leni as she shook Zoro's hand as well.
"What's up, dude."said Luna, who decided to high five the swordsman.
"Very nice to meet you, Zoro. could you let me look at your swords later, specifically the red one."said Lucy, and she could already feel all the dark malice coming off of Sandai Kitetsu, and was practically drooling at the thought of expecting the cursed blade.
"Sure, but be careful as it's cursed."said Zoro, who didn't mind as it was a little girl and she honestly didn't appear to be one of those people to try to steal his sword.
"I know..."
"Nice to meet you Zoro, I must say you give off the aura of a powerful Beast."said Lana, as she and Zoro shook hands.
"Nice to meet you, first individual to join Lincoln's pirate crew. I would also like to inspect your swords later that's okay."said Lisa, as she wanted to see if these swords were as strong as Lincoln said they were.
"Sure..."said Zoro, not sure what to do with this one.
"Poo poo."said Lily as she high-fives Zoro.
"I'm very glad to meet one of Lincoln's friends."said Rita as she shook hands with the swordsman.
"While I'm still displeased that you raided my restaurant's liquor cabinet, it's nice to meet you."said Lynn Sr as Zoro shook his hand.
"Nice to meet you young man. My name is Albert, I was formerly known as Monkey D Albert."said Albert, as Zoro seemed to recognize the name.
"Huh, so you're the legendary "Flash Fist" Albert."
"Flash Fist?"asked Rita with confusion.
"My nickname I got when I was in the Navy of that world."responded her father.
"Yeah, you're considered one of the greatest Marines of your generation who valiantly sacrificed his life a whole bunch of years ago."said Zoro, as Albert was a famous name when it came to the Marines.
"So those Top Brass jerks decided use me as a propaganda tool." said Albert, referring to his superior Kong, and the Five Star Elders, the most powerful Celestial Dragons in the world and the heads of the World Government.
Zoro meanwhile ignored what Albert was saying as he looked over Lincoln's family.
"Man that pervy cook would be so jealous right now."said Zoro, knowing Sanji would be extremely upset that Lincoln had such pretty sisters.
"By the way, did you manage to get the pervy cook away from his wedding?"asked Zoro, wondering if Lincoln managed to save Sanji from his horrible biological family and the Big Mom Pirates.
"Yeah, but now Big Mom wants to kill me for not only ruining her chance to make her crew more powerful, but also because of the fact that we ruined the wedding cake she was looking forward to eating, and destroying a photo that meant so much to her."said Lincoln with a smile, as his family looked at him with shock, as they couldn't believe how nonchalant he was being, even after it sounded like some big powerful pirate wants him dead!
"I see, so once we find out how to get back we can help the pervy kid and his samurai save their country."said Zoro, as Sanji would surely be a vital part in the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai alliance.
"Yeah, I'm ready to beat up Kaido!"said Lincoln with a smile, as his family felt so out of the loop as it seemed like these two were in their own little world.
"Okay... now that we explained everything that's going on to you. Care to tell us what the heck you two are talking about?"asked Lori, as it was clear that they were missing a lot of information.
"Well basically we joined an alliance with another pirate captain named Law, in order to take down one of the four emperors of the sea, Kaido, the King of the Beasts!"said Lincoln, as he summed up everything in a simple explanation.
"Kaido!"said Albert with shock!
"Do you know him, Dad?"asked Rita, as she was surprised by how shocked her father was.
"Yeah... I met him all those years ago when me and Garp work together with Roger to take down the Rocks Pirates. Kaido was only a cabin boy in those days but he was just as strong as any member of the crew. Marine after Marine stabbed him with their swords but they just broke upon impact. Even bullet didn't work as they just bounced off his tough skin like it was nothing... I can only imagine how much powerful he's gotten now."said Albert, wondering how exactly did his grandson challenge such a mighty foe and think it was a good idea!
"Yeah, they call him the strongest creature in that world. I think he sunk like nine prison battleships. And was sentenced to death a whole bunch of times, but each time they try to execute him, it ended in miserable failure. Let's see... when the guillotine dropped, the blade shattered. When spears were thrusted into his torso, they broke upon impact. When he was sentenced to be hanged, the chain broke. They say if it's one on one, Kaido will win."said Lincoln, as he was recalling all the information he knew about Kaido.
"Just how in the world do you think taking on such a monster was a good idea?!"asked Leni, as her protective older sister instincts kicked in.
"Kaido has our friends country trapped along with the current ruler of that country. They have inslaved the people to do nothing but work in factories to make weapons for Kaido's growing armies! Kaido loves nothing more than fighting and I heard he wants to start the biggest war that world has ever seen!"said Lincoln, as he will not apologize or back down as he already promised Momonosuke and Kin'emon that he would help save their country!
"Lincoln, I know you're a strong brave warrior but this is too much."said Leni as she began to cry, as it sounded like her brother was on a suicide mission!
"Kaido, Big Mom, Blackbeard, Red Hair Shanks. Those on the four most powerful pirates of the world who have so many subordinates and power that they can live like emperors. They are all extremely powerful, and I plan to defeat them all! It's is only through defeating them that I will make it to the last Island Laugh Tale, find the One Piece, and become the Pirate King! I have worked too damn hard, and have been through too much to stop now just because you're crying, Leni!"yelled Lincoln, shocking his family as usually Lincoln would apologize upon seeing Leni cry.
"Me and my friends promised each other that we would help fulfill our dreams. I'm nothing more than a selfish idiot who cannot survive without the help of my crewmates! Do you think I would have gotten to the New World by myself, not in a billion years! My friends have stood by my side and fought through blood, sweat, and tears to help me achieve my dream! Me, the idiot who doesn't think with his brain and usually with his stomach! I owe them for all their hard work by becoming the Pirate King, as they believed in me while others just laughed and mocked me! If I decided to stop being the Pirate King, then all the sacrifices for all that hard work would have been for nothing, can I honestly call myself a man if I do that?! THE ANSWER IS NO!"said Lincoln, as his family couldn't believe his current mindset.
"Your exactly like Garp. It doesn't matter who you're up against, you can't stand the sight of Injustice."said Albert, as he remembered his brother fighting harder than he has ever fought before in order to take down the Rocks Pirates that fateful day.
Lincoln certainly lives up to the Will of D.
"But..."said Leni, as Lincoln approached her and grabbed her by her hands gently.
"Leni, I understand why you're worried about me. But the moment I decided to take on Kaido, there was no turning back. My actions have already gotten in the way of Kaido's grand plans. There is no way in hell that he's ever going to let me go for what I did to him. So the only path now is to take him down and help my friend save his country and become Shogun."said Lincoln with such passion and charisma, that the family was wondering where this Lincoln has always been.
He move their hearts with his speech. It was clear to them that Lincoln's real power was the ability to get anyone on his side, as that honesty, charisma, passion, fearlessness, and willingness to see something through to the end is something that is very rare to see nowadays.
Lincoln was like a hero from the legends of old!
"Wow..."said Lana, feeling jittery from all the passion she felt from Lincoln's speech.
"Well...if Zoro is here my guess the others are as well."said Lincoln as he turned to face his unofficial first mate.
"They could be anywhere in the nearby area. I ended up in the woods not too far from here and only ended up in this restaurant by complete coincidence."said Zoro, as he wondered how Lincoln and himself were going to find the others.
"Don't worry, I'm sure the others will pop out sooner or later."said Lincoln with a smile.
Meanwhile not too far from their current location, a couple of bikers were laying on the floor with clear signs of burns on their hair and bodies, looking like they had been electrocuted.
Meanwhile an extremely attractive young looking woman with long orange hair and a very curvy figure was standing not too far from where the bikers were standing. She was wearing a one-piece white dress that went all the way to her ankles, along with a belt that look like it held the orange staff she was currently holding.
"I told you to keep your disgusting hands off of me. I don't have any money and I'm not looking for "a good time" thank you very much. Now I wonder what that idiot Lincoln has gotten us into this time."said Nami, the navigator of the Strawhat Pirates as she walked past that sign that said welcome to Royal Woods.
