Later that evening, Nami, along with the rest of her crew mates of the Strawhat Pirates made their way to the basement. The Loud sisters not against Lincoln going away wanted Nami just stay with them out of fear that their brother or Zoro would try something with her, but Nami assured them that both were not interested in her that way... confusing many of the Loud sisters as they wondered how their brother could ignore such a catch?
"So... your family seems nice, Lincoln."said Nami, having trouble sleeping so she decided to do small talk with her crewmates.
"Yeah, I'm really going to miss them when we go back."said Lincoln, confusing his crewmates.
"I'm surprised by how nonchalant you're being all about this, Lincoln. Any other guy would have stayed behind if it meant being with a loving family who had been waiting for their special someone to come back after all this time."said Zoro, even though he knew next to nothing about his own family.
"Yeah, but I promised you all that I would help your dreams come true well I try to become the King of the Pirates. I also made a vow to Shanks that I would bring him his straw hat."said Lincoln, holding the straw hat in question.
"Your family is really going to miss you."said Nami, feeling especially bad for the little ones as they clearly love their big brother.
"Yeah...I know. But after we've come this far and trained as hard as we did, I'm not going to give up my adventures for anything until we reach Laugh Tale and find the One Piece."said Lincoln, not willing to give up his adventures just yet until he finds Gol D Roger's famous treasure, the One Piece!
"Takes a real man to leave everything behind and go on an adventure. I can see why Usopp looks up to his old man."said Zoro, as Lincoln may be the most selfish person he knows, but he has a good heart.
"Well... I'm sure when our adventures are over you can come back here and be a family again."said Nami, as last thing she wanted is for the little ones to be sad.
"Yeah, but first we need to help Momo and the others free Wano Country."said Lincoln, as Momonosuke, Kin'emon, and the others were counting on him and the other Strawhat Pirates to help out Wano and defeat Kaido!
"Momonosuke is counting on us and we already gave our word that we would help him."said Nami, not wanting to disappoint Momo and their friends.
"Kin'emon and the others are trying their best to round up loyal samurai who want to overthrow the current Shogun and Kaido. Hopefully we make it back in time before anything else happens."said Zoro, as last thing they needed was anymore unnecessary delays in their plans.
Being dragged to another world by Lincoln's family was certainly something they didn't need when they were planning to fight one of the Four Emperors of the sea, Kaido, the King of the Beasts!
"Kaido and the Beast Pirates are going to be our hardest challenge yet! Me, Nami, Carrot, Chopper, Brook, and Sanji barely got away from Big Mom and her pirate crew. But as soon as we deal with Kaido, she's next!"said Lincoln, having promised Charlotte Linin herself that he would defeat her!
"She really left a bad impression on you."said Nami, as Big Mom really got under Lincoln's skin.
"She has no calms about striking down her own children! She's obsessed with sweets and absolute destruction! And after we destroyed that photo of her mother or whatever there's no way she's going to ever let us go."said Lincoln, as Big Mom would surely come looking for them!
"He has a point. After the mess I'm sure you guys did in her territory, there is no way Big Mom is ever going to let any of us go without our heads on pikes or something. So the only choice we have left to survive is to defeat her."said Zoro, as that was really their only real option.
"You two make it sound so simple! We are taking on the Four Emperors! That is the whole reason we made an alliance with Law and the Heart pirates in the first place! Because there is no way we can take down Kaido! Big Mom! Shanks! or Blackbeard without a literal army fighting alongside us!"said Nami, as these two knuckleheads were too reckless for their own good!
"Yeah! But if anyone's going to cut down the top brass of the Beast Pirates, it's going to be us!"said Zoro and Lincoln at the same time.
"Ha... what did I ever do in a past life to be stuck with these two idiots..."said Nami as tears fell down her face, wondering if she lived a life well fulfilled.
Unknown to the members of the Strawhat Pirates, Lynn, Lola, and Luan were listening to everything thanks to the ventilation system that allowed them to hear the conversation in the basement!
"Lincoln is not acting like the Lincoln we know and love."said Lola, as the Lincoln they remembered wasn't this reckless.
"The Lincoln we remembered wasn't this reckless idiot."said Luan, as the Lincoln they remembered never risked his life the way this Lincoln was risking it.
"All he talks about is his crew, being a man, and how he will keep his promises no matter what."said Lola, as part of that was the Lincoln they remembered but part of it wasn't at the same time.
"I bet it's that pirate crew who changed him."said Lynn, blaming everything on the rest of the Strawhat Pirates.
"I bet it was great uncle Garp and all of his messed up forms of training."said Lola, feeling like they could blame everything on their great uncle's style of tough love.
"What are we going to do, guys?"asked Luan, as the equipment needed for Lisa to fix her wormhole generator device or whatever it was called was going to arrive the day after tomorrow.
"We have to do something!"said Lola, who didn't want to lose Lincoln a second time!
"But what! Because I'm not taking on the guy with the swords."said Luan, feeling like they would be a losing battle if they were to take on the Strawhat Pirates.
"They don't look that tough."said Lynn, although her sisters weren't convinced that it was clear the thought of taking them on made her leg shake.
"Your not convincing anyone right now, you know that."said Lola, stating the obvious.
"Well what do you suggest?"asked Lynn, wondering what Lola had in mind if she was so smart.
"I suggest we try our best to break them apart. But that is easier said than done as according to Lincoln's Adventures they've been through a lot so their trust and bond with one another won't be easily shattered."said Lola, trying to figure out a way to turn Lincoln against his crewmates.
"Maybe it can be over food."said Lynn, noticing that this Lincoln had quite the appetite.
"Hmm... what about we trick them into fighting each other."said Lola, as that sounded like a good idea in her opinion.
"That Nami girl won't be easy to trick."said Lynn, as it was clear that this Nami was the smartest of the bunch.
"Well... we could try to convince Lincoln that they're trying to stop him from going back."said Luan, feeling like that would be the best way to turn them against one another.
"Again, that Nami girl would see through our plan and get them to stop fighting before any real damage to their friendship could happen."said Lola, as you could tell that this Nami was a worthy adversary.
"We need a way to get Nami away from those two so we can trick them."said Lynn, feeling like Nami was the only real threat in their plan of separating Lincoln and his crew.
"I don't think that's going to happen."said Lucy, surprisingly anti Lincoln pirate faction as they screamed upon their goth sister coming out of nowhere and scaring them.
"Lucy... you're seriously going to give someone a heart attack one day."said Lynn, clenching her chest tightly as she tried to steady her breathing.
"Yeah!"said Luan and Lola an agreement with their sporty sister.
"You guys need to accept that Lincoln wants to go back and there's nothing you can really do about it."said Lucy, as the rest of her sisters looked on with rage.
"We won't know unless we try!"said Lola with tears In her eyes.
"Yeah, I can get him to do what I want!"said Lynn, feeling like a few punches to his shoulder will get Lincoln to reconsider his decision of leaving the Loud house for a second time!
"Yeah! What are you going to do about it, Lucy!"asked Luan, wondering if Lucy was just going to be a tattletale snitch and tell on them!
"I'm not going to do anything. Non of us can stop Lincoln from going. Lynn, Lincoln is no longer scared of your punches. Lola, Lincoln is not afraid if you get mad. And Luan, even your April fool's day prank rampage can hardly do anything to him anymore. I know it's all hard for you to accept this but Lincoln is no longer the guy we remember. He's a fun loving adventure who wants to continue to travel with his friends until the very end. What right do we have to stop him?"asked Lucy, wanting to know why they felt like they needed to stop Lincoln.
"He's our brother and we need him!"said Lynn, Luan, and Lola at the same time, practically in unison!
"And what does Lincoln want?"asked Lucy, not getting a reply.
"He wants to be the King of the Pirates. I spoke with Great Grandma Harriet and she told me that Lincoln went through countless amounts of blood, sweat, and tears to get where he was and stopping him now would only cause more damage than good in the long run. Lincoln has faced the impossible over and over again. We need to respect his wishes and understand that the Lincoln we remember in the Lincoln who is in the basement right now with his friends is not the same Lincoln. He will always be our brother and nothing is going to change that, but stopping him now would only make him resent us for the rest of his life. And I know for a fact none of you want that."said Lucy, getting no response from her sisters.
"Just sleep on that and see if you feel the same in the morning as tomorrow we're going to meet up with the McBrides and the Santiagos. They also want to meet up with Lincoln one last time before he heads back to the Grand Line."said Lucy as she left her sisters in the bathroom.
Lynn, Luan, and Lola said nothing as their eyes became covered in shadow since no matter how much they didn't want to admit it, they knew Lucy was right!
Meanwhile just in the outskirts of Royal Woods, tears in the very fabric of space and time started to appear as something tall, skinny, and with a huge afro appeared out of one of those tears.
"Oh my... are my eyes deceiving me? Not that I have eyes in the first place! Yohohohohoho!"said Brook, the musician for the Strawhat Pirates.
Meanwhile the tears behind him seem to get bigger at a slow but rapid pace!
