Hey just to clear up some common questions

1)CORRECTION- This started 2 years before Luffy sets up, I made a mistake

2)Aramaki/Ryokugyu was a Vice Admiral in THIS story who after fighting got expelled from the Marines after Naruto left him unable to fight. He'll get redrafted back later on after the war. I thought it would be funny seeing the reaction his Devil Fruit would have with Naruto's chakra given how it affected the Zetsus. Also that he just joined the Marines and was made an Admiral didn't sit that well with me lol

Anyways onto the chapter

Naruto sighed as he pulled a mug full of beer up to his lips and took a long sip before sighing. In front of him was his new bounty poster that he had seen being posted throughout the town as of late. It seemed like they had taken a new picture of him during his escape from Vice Admiral Aramaki. It was a close up of his face with flames all around him as he glared. The less than flattering picture was complimented with an astounding bounty of one billion now.

He had changed into a black cloak similar to the one Dragon used while in the town in order to move about undetected by marines and bounty hunters alike. He could hear people talking about him right now, trying to get others to band with them in order to go after him then split it, but he could sense the malice within each of them. There was no doubt in his mind that they planned to betray each other after the bounty was assured.

"What about? You wanna join in on the hunt? I heard he got away from the Marines near this island, imagine the riches we could have if we take him down!" One of the bounty hunters said as he approached Naruto who gave him a red eyed glare causing the man to stumble back away from him. The man looked back at the cloaked man who went back to his beer before returning to his group.

"Idiots," Naruto said before the door got kicked open as another group came into the bar. Looking over he saw a shirtless man walking in with what appeared to be the rest of his crew. He couldn't help but appreciate the man's orange hat with what looked like one smiling face and one frowning face badge on it.

"It's fucking Fire Fist Ace!" One of the bounty hunters yelled as he drew his sword. Naruto recognized the name as it had been one of the other bounties that started to rack up a value around the time he came to this world. He watched as the other hunters pulled out their weapons and aimed it at the pirate crew.

Looking over, he saw that the bar owner was cowering behind the counter, muttering about how this always happens. "Enough," Naruto growled as his chakra boomed throughout the bar, paralyzing the bounty hunters and shocking the pirates by the sudden presence in the room. Everyone looked back as the cloaked man stood up and walked towards the two groups. "You all want to start trouble, maybe do it outside so you don't burn this place down," he said looking at Ace who had ignited his hands, ready for battle.

"I think that's a great idea," The man who had been identified as Ace said with a smile as he didn't really want to cause trouble for the poor barowner. Naruto could sense very little malice in the man, he was certain that either Ace had a genuinely good nature or was extraordinarily skilled at containing his negative thoughts and emotions.

"W-who the fuck are you?" The bounty hunter leader asked before the feeling of death grew stronger as the man approached, the shadow of a massive fox appeared behind the cloaked man while red eyes gleamed from the shadow of the hood. "Fuck this, we're leaving boy!" The man said as the unnerving feeling got too strong, he could almost imagine himself dying at the hands of the stranger.

As the bounty hunters left, Ace couldn't help but laugh as the group ran away from the hooded man. "Well, you just saved us a fight, why don't I buy you a drink?" Ace asked looping his arm around Naruto's neck, grateful that he had scared off the hunters. He had arrived on the island hoping to restock his supplies before heading deeper into the New World.

"So you're Fire Fist Ace?" Naruto asked as the man sat down at the bar and patted the chair beside him. Taking the seat, he watched as the pirates made themselves at home, however unlike the bounty hunters they seemed a bit less serious and more respectful. "Not exactly what I expected from Pirates," he said looking around at the rather well natured people who made up the Spade Pirates.

Ace laughed loudly at that as the bartender cautiously placed two mugs of beer down for the two before moving to the rest of the pirates, a relieved look as it seemed like his bar was spared today. "Well I don't know about that but I'll take the compliment," the flame user responded, taking his mug of beer and chugging it like he hadn't drank water in days. "Ah~ That hit the spot!" he sighed in relief as he looked at the owner, "Another round please!"

"I'll be right there!" the older man called back.

"Portgas D. Ace by the way, you?" he asked, wondering just who the hooded man was.

Given that the man was also being hunted by the same people he figured that there was no harm in him knowing who he was. And if there was a problem he doubted he couldn't just escape one way or another. Pulling the hood down slightly, he exposed his spiky gold and whiskers, Ace's eyes widened at just who he was sitting next to. "Holy…you're Uzumaki Naruto…" he whispered as he recalled seeing his wanted poster recently.

"Please don't spread it around, I'd rather not have every bounty hunter and Marine coming here when I'm just trying to enjoy my freedom from Big Mom," He mentioned with a smirk as he knew that right now he was the name on tip of every marine, pirate, and bounty hunter's mouth. He was happy to finally be away from the giant of a woman and wanted to at the very least have some time away from the Marines, unfortunately they also seemed to be everywhere in this world. They were the human equivalent to ants…

"You fought with Big Mom!?" Ace explained in shock as he himself had been on a quest to defeat the Four Emperors. He wanted to finally break out of the enormous shadow that had been cast over him by his father. He figured by defeating the strongest in the world he would finally be able to achieve just that.

"Jeez no need to yell," Naruto complained about the volume of the man. "She wanted me to marry her daughter, Charlotte Smoothie," he mentioned as it felt kinda good being able to talk with someone who wasn't a Marine or a Charlotte.

"Was she hot?" Ace blatantly asked the blond. '

Naruto glanced over at the freckled man as he considered the question. "Yeah, she was pretty attractive all things considered, a bit tall but nothing horrible. A bit of a sadist though," he answered as Smoothie would definitely be considered attractive between her curves, tanned skin, and wavy white hair. The height was a bit intimidating but not exactly unattractive.

"So why didn't you marry her?" Ace asked.

"Frankly, I'm not ready to marry anyone…a lot of stuff has been going on recently that I need to work through. But also it was partly because of Big Mom herself, I don't think I have ever met a human more disgusting than her…if she's even human…" he said, scowling at the memory of how Big Mom treated not only the people she ruled but her own children.

"Yeah I get that," Ace said as another beer was brought to him. "Well if it makes you feel better, I'm trying to take down Yonko. So eventually I'll have to face Big Mom too," he told Naruto who smiled at that.

"Well, if you do then let me know! I'll happily help you beat some sense her," Naruto stated as he wouldn't mind getting back at her for keeping him in that godforsaken cake island.

"Did you fight her?" Ace asked, wondering if Naruto had actually fought against Big Mom or if he had just been to her island and escaped after a while.

"Well…I threw her into a mountain when she went on a rampage, and then I fought against her son Katakuri between us, he wasn't all that tough to be honest, just really fast," Naruto told Ace who laughed at the fact that one of Big Mom's commanders was being talked about as if he were more of a nuisance than an actual threat with a bounty worth over a billion beri as well. However none of that compared to the thought that the blond had thrown Big Mom!

"You THREW her?" Ace asked to make sure that he heard correctly.

"Yep! She weighed a ton too!" He explained, drinking from his beer until he got to the bottom of it. Kurama sighed as he knew that he would probably have to help burn through the alcohol later on once the blond finished drinking. "Another!" Naruto called out much to the cheer of the pirates.

As the mugs started to pile up, Naruto joined the crew back on their ship as the party continued on. "Chug! Chug! Chuh!" Ace chanted as Naruto held a barrel full of rum that they had seized from another pirate crew that had attacked them. To the average human it was insane to see someone drink so much liquor like it was nothing but Kurama was currently spreading his chakra throughout Naruto to burn away the alcohol before it got too toxic.

"You blond idiot! I'm gonna get you back for this!" Kurama yelled at his jinchuuriki, feeling insulted that his chakra was being used to prevent alcohol poisoning while the blond partied with some pirates.

Finishing the entirety of the barrel, Naruto tossed it over the side of the ship much to a round of applause. "Thank you! Thank you!" He said bowing to the crowd of pirates.

"You just drank a whole barrel of rum! That was wicked!" Ace exclaimed as he tore into a shank of meat, tearing off a massive chunk. "We- we're on our way to fight Kaido n-next" Ace said, stuttering a bit from the amount of alcohol he himself had drank throughout the night. However he liked the blond, he seemed fun to be around and was strong to boot! Exactly the type of person that he wanted to have on his crew when he took on the Strongest Creature and leader of the Beast Pirates.

"Dragon might not like that…" Naruto said, his face flushed as he leaned against the railing of the ship. "But if Kaido is anything like Big Mom then he can fuck off! I'll kick his ass until he realizes he's being a prick!" The shinobi shouted as he picked up another beer and stumbled to Ace, leaning against him for support. "You gonna take on the ass, I'll help you…promise," He managed to slur out.

"Wooooooo" Ace cheered as they clinked their drinks together and drowned them. "Everyone! Let's welcome our newest nakama! Uzumaki Naruto! The Golden Devil!" He declared. "Another round to celebrate!"

Naruto laughed as he felt more relaxed here than he had in a long time. Looking at the smiling face of Ace, he couldn't help but smile too. Since he arrived, he had thrown himself deep into work. Fighting for the Revolutionary Army, being a prisoner of Smoothie, getting engaged to Smoother, fighting the Big Mom Pirates, fighting the Marines…it was nice to just cut loose and relax now that he had the chance. "Big Mom said Kaido's base was in Wano! Let's set sail!" he declared to the crew.

"Set sail!" Ace repeated standing up only to fall against a barrel laughing. "So what did you do before you joined the Revolution?" the son of the Pirate King asked, wondering what someone so powerful did before randomly appearing on the scene.

"Well~ hehe~" Naruto said, sauntering over, "I was fighting a goddess!" he declared, Kurama smacking his face in agitation.

"A goddess? Like…a super hot chick?" Ace asked, taking another swing of his bottle.

"Not really…or at least not my type…but no! I mean an actual goddess! And…and…we sealed her in the moon!" He said pointing up at the sky, "But she wrapped me away! And then I…where was I? Oh yeah! I was dropped in the ocean!" He said a vague version of how he ended up in this ocean covered world.

"Dude you're crazy," Masked Deuce said as he listened in on the story. It sounded so unrealistic, unlike his stories about his adventures with the Spade Pirates.

"It's truuuuuue~" Naruto complained, his shoulders slumped. "I even did this awesome jutsu where me and my clones transformed into a bunch of sexy guys to distract her," He said smugly but was laughed at in response.

"You tell quite the tales!" One of the pirates said before returning to his drink.

before he noticed that Ace had fallen asleep. "Oi wake up!" he yelled at the dark haired man, shoving him to try and wake him up. However when he did, his hand went through Ace as he turned to fire in reaction to the push. "Ow!" Naruto cried out as he waved his burning hand before it healed up completely.

The crew laughed at the blond's expense. Naruto looked like he was gonna snap at them but instead laughed along with the as he picked up Ace's bottle. "I'll take this as compensation," he said before finishing it off in place of Ace who had fallen unconscious.

"Hey that was mine!" Ace complained as he woke up to see Naruto drinking his drink.

Hours flew by as Naruto and the Spade Pirates drank the night away, "Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho, Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho, Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho," The crew sang as Naruto and Ace listened on from the side. Apparently it was a popular song that had survived for hundreds of years, one of the few things to do so from what he had learned about this world.

"Ugh…" Naruto groaned as a bottle fell on his head, waking him up from his slumber. His head was pounding like Kurama had slammed his paw on his head. Getting up he couldn't help but cover his eyes as the sun seemed much brighter than usual. Next to him he could hear Ace snoring away liquor spilt beside him. "What happened?" he asked himself as he stumbled a bit, leaning against the side of the ship.

"You got carried away and got wasted with those pirates…" Kurama answered, the tone of his voice clearly indicating that he was irritated with his jinchuuriki's actions the day before. He had been celebrating his escape from Big Mom so much that he somehow ended up on a pirate ship.

"Pirates? Oh right Ace…" Naruto said as the events of the previous night came back to him. Looking off the side of the ship he noticed that there was nothing but ocean in every direction. He remembered that they had set sail the night before, intent on getting into a fight with Kaido, one of the four Emperors like Big Mom.

"You also told them about Kaguya…but you were so drunk it sounded like drunken babble and they thought you were making it up hehehe" Kurama said, laughing a little at how stupid Naruto sounded. Hell, if it hadn't happened right in front of him, he'd think that his jinchuuriki had gone insane.

Rolling his eyes he looked over at the man who was steering the ship. "Hey do you guys have a Den Den Mushi?" He asked, rubbing the sides of his head to try and soothe the migrain he was suffering through at the moment. But contacting Dragon was something he should probably do before he went off and fought a Yonko.

"Meeting room," the navigator responded as he kept sailing on, needing to stay focused while controlling the ship to avoid getting off course.

Making his way down to the meeting room, careful to avoid stepping on any of the passed out pirates, he found the Spade Pirate's Den Den Mushi. "Please pick up," Naruto said, dialing Dragon and praying to whatever gods existed in this world that he answered the snail.

"Hello?" Dragon's voice came from the other end.

"Dragon!" Naruto explained as he hadn't heard the man's voice in weeks. "It's me, Naruto," the excitable blond said incase he leader of the Revolutionary Army didn't recognize his voice.

"Naruto? What's going on? We saw your new bounty posters flying around, what happened with Big Mom and the Marines?" he asked. News had reached him that Naruto had been captured by the Marines after they tracked him down to Totto Land where he surrendered himself in order to avoid a conflict, something Dragon absolutely believed he'd do after doing the same to save Sabo.

"To be honest, a lot… but long story short I got engaged to Big Mom's daughter Smoothie, let myself be captured to get away from them, broke out, now I'm on a ship with the…Spade Pirates? Their captain wants go to fight Kaido and…" Naruto said trailing off.

"You promised to help didn't you?" Dragon said, sighing at what the blond was doing. "Well first and foremost, I'm happy that you're okay. I was worried when you didn't reach out before. If you really are intent on fighting Kaido, be careful. He's not called the Strongest Creature for nothing Naruto," Dragon warned Naruto, knowing that Kaido wasn't someone to take lightly. He knew that if he managed to survive an encounter with Big Mom then his chances against Kaido weren't realistically that bad, but he wanted to make sure his subordinate didn't get too cocky.

"You're not worried that Kaido might come after the rest of you if I fight against him?" Naruto asked.

"We should be fine, Kaido from my understanding seeks out strong foes so regardless of the result he'll likely not seek us out afterwards," Dragon said recalling that Kaido seemed to enjoy fighting strong enemies and was constantly looking for ways to kill himself after he started to feel like nothing coul

"I know, Ace wants to be the one who beat him anyways. I'll probably be more support than anything else…" Naruto said not really knowing how the fight would go but figured that Ace wouldn't be too happy if he took down Kaido for him.

He audibly heard Dragon facepalm from the other end of the phone, "You're with Portgas D. Ace?" Dragon asked, making sure that he heard the shinobi correctly.

"Yeah, he can turn himself into fire…" Naruto replied.

"You have a habit of running into interesting people don't you Naruto…" Dragon sighed as he should have expected that Naruto would end up running into Ace of all people. "Well regardless, if you ever need to get back to us, we have a small base in Nanohana where you should be able to get transportation to our base," the tattooed man told Naruto, hoping to see him again. They had gotten quite a bump in recruits ever since Naruto's encounter with that World Noble. The fact that he came back into headlines with such a massive bounty made them look much stronger than before. "Stay safe Naruto, I have to go now," Dragon said as he was being called to attend to other business.

"Will do, you stay safe too Dragon," Naruto said smiling.

"Damn you really know how to party, Naruto," Ace said as he found the blond leaning over the side of the railing. After waking up and emptying his stomach, he had taken a moment to rest before seeking out the shinobi.

"Not really, I was just celebrating being free from Big Mom. It's kinda nice knowing that you don't have her drones looking at you all the time ya know," He said as he looked out at the seemingly endless sea before him. It really did seem like this world was endless at times, with how diverse and different each island seemed and how wacky and weird the residents of this planet were, it was almost mind boggling.

Ace laughed at that, "I guess I can understand that," Ace looking out at the sea with the blond.

"Are you sure you want to come with us, Naruto? Facing Kaido won't be easy," Ace said knowing that Kaido would be one of the most difficult enemies they would ever face. As one of the Yonko, there were few in this world who were capable of standing up to him in any capacity. The Beast Pirates also had plenty of powerhouses under their wings that could pose a danger.

"You think I got a billion beri bounty by sitting around?" Naruto asked, chuckling lightly. He knew by now that he likely stood near the top of this world when it came to power. His clash with Katakuri showed him that fact. Were there people in the world who could rival him? He didn't know, no one had chakra so he couldn't accurately predict how powerful someone would be. "And besides, I promised you that I'd help you, and I don't break my promises Ace," He declared.

A warm smile spread over Ace's lips, "Thanks Naruto," the pirate said as they passed an island. They could see smoke rising from one of the towns on it. On its shores were dozens of pirate and Marine ships. "You know, part of me hates how this world is. This world of pirates and Marines clashing all across the sea," Ace said, hating the world for how they treated his existence as the son of the Pirate King.

"I won't lie, I don't really know much about this world, but even I know that it's extremely flawed. There are people in power that shouldn't be, crime runs rampant, and in the end people suffer. I want to help fix this world, make it a better place for everyone. I can see why you hate it," he told Ace. Seeing the contrast between him and Smoothie. Smoothie seemed to have her entire world dictated by her mother, while Ace seemed to be driving his life for himself. "What's your dream?"

For a moment, Ace thought about the question, "I want to find out if I ever should have been born," Ace replied. His place in the world and the meaning of his life had been something that had always weighed heavy on his mind.

"Well, anyone who's alive should have been born. Everyone can achieve great things, everyone can become something," Naruto said to Ace as he was reminded of Neji. He didn't know Ace enough to make a proper conclusion but questions of fate never sat with him right. "Working hard, becoming someone you and those you love can be proud of. To me that's living,"

"How can you be so sure?" Ace asked the shinobi who smiled back at him.

"Because I've seen it myself. My friend Rock Lee was born…weak," He said, having to explain Rock Lee's growth while not referring to chakra. That would be a whole other conversation that would likely go over Ace's head. "Everyone said that he was never going to be strong, that he was fated to be weak. But he never gave up. He worked hard. He trained everyday. He pushed himself to the limit time and time again. I still remember when I first met him, he kicked my friend Sasuke's ass. And Sasuke was considered a prodigy!" He exclaimed, knowing that Sasuke at the time was considered far beyond what a normal Genin should have been given how long he had been a shinobi, yet Rock Lee demolished him.

When he didn't get an answer, Naruto glared back at Ace who had fallen asleep during his story about Rock Lee. "WAKE UP!" Naruto yelled at the captain of the Spade Pirates, stirring him back awake.

"Sorry!' Ace yawned before hearing an explosion in the distance. "Pirates," Ace said as he could see a few ships sailing black flags around a small island where the smoke was coming from.

"We need to help them," Naruto said as he powered up, cloaking himself in his golden-orange chakra as he prepared to jump into battle once again. He didn't see any Marine ships around, meaning that more likely than not, nothing would stop these pirates if they didn't help.

"Right behind you," Ace stated as he looked back at his crew, "Get the Striker ready!" he yelled back at his crew who rushed to prepare Ace's personal ship.

Leaping off the side of the Piece of Spadille, he took off into the air towards the smoking island. "I'll go on ahead! Catch up when you can," Naruto called back as he didn't want to waste any time waiting for Ace to get ready when he could just go on.

Arriving on the island, he found the townspeople being massacred by the band of pirates that had descended onto them. "I hate people like you," Naruto said as he landed on the ground, returning back to his normal state. Immediately he drew the attention of the pirates who saw the arrival of the glowing blond before he touched down.

"Holy shit…" one of the pirates muttered as he recognized the man who was now known as the Golden Devil. Common townsfolk were one thing, but someone like that was far above what they had signed up for. "Back to the ships!" he yelled as he turned and ran back towards the ships, followed by the rest of the crew.

Naruto formed several dozen clones to help round up the pirates who found that their ships' sails were now burning with a lone man on the shore, blowing out a flame from his finger. "Fire Fist Ace too?" The captain whined as he looked back at the small army of blonds and then back at the freckled teen.

"This is where you surrender," Ace said smugly as the pirates dropped their weapons as they knew that they couldn't fight against the two monsters before them.

"Stupid pirates," Naruto muttered as he placed his hand on one of the women who had been shot by the pirates. Unlike many of the others, she managed to survive. After removing the bullet from her shoulder, he used his strong lifeforce to heal the injury.

"Thank you," the woman said as she regained some of her strength when Naruto pulled his hand back. There wasn't even a scar left behind where the bullet had been. Her husband came over and helped her back up. "What an amazing power…" she said a bit in awe at the ability that Naruto seemed to have to heal others with just the touch of his hand.

"Sir, if you can heal others, is it possible that you could heal our daughter's illness? She's been terribly sick and nothing we've tried has helped," the husband said, looking away as he knew that his daughter had been bedridden for a while now and was being taken care of in the hospital on the other side of the island. While she was safe from the pirates, she was stuffing through harsh treatments in order to keep her alive.

"I don't see why not," Ace said, walking up to the three with a large piece in hand that the local butcher had given him as a thanks for helping save the town. "We have some time while the crew salvage what was on the ships," he told them, willing to wait for Naruto to go heal the girl.

"Thanks Ace, it won't take long," Naruto said.

"Thank you, both of you. We're in your debt!" The man said, happy that their saviors were willing to help them, even if they were criminals wanted by the World Government. They had done more for them than the Marines had done in years.

"Don't mention it, now come on, let's see if there is anything I can do for her" The blond said as his chakra arms wrapped around the two parents before taking off towards the hospital with Ace following closely behind. Looking back, he saw Ace propelling himself with his flames to keep up with the flying blond. "You're coming?"

"Figured I tag along, kinda boring in town ya know," Ace replied as they saw the building. It was a fair distance away from the island town, likely in case something happened… like a pirate attack.

The two parents looked fear stricken as they were much higher on the air than they've ever been before. But it wasn't long before they were back on the ground, gasping for air. "W-we'll walk next t-time…" the father said as he looked at the hospital entrance.

Naruto laughed as they walked inside the building, the clean smell reminded him of all the times he had ended up in a hospital during his time as a shinobi. It brought back both sad and fond memories of his previous life. He watched as the parents talked to the receptionist before motioning for them to follow.

Walking through the maze that was the hospital, they eventually followed the two parents into a room where a small girl was hooked up to several machines. Her heart monitor showered a faint but active heart beat. "Mama! Papa!" The girl cried out in joy at the sight of her family.

Naruto smiled, happy for the little girl for having such a loving family. Someone to lean on in times of pain like this. Looking at Ace, he saw his hands were clenched a bit. Placing a hand on Ace's shoulder, Naruto turned his smile towards the pirate before walking towards the family, his golden glow lighting up the room with its brilliant light.

The two parents move to the side so Naruto could approach the girl, he could hear the light music coming from the Den Den Mushi beside her bed, the sound of a woman singing coming out. "Listening to some music?" he asked as he couldn't help but find the female vocalist's voice beautiful.

"She's my favorite singer Uta! I listen to her everyday," The young girl said happily as she talked about her idol. "I even send her letters about my days, it helps with the treatment," she told the blond as her voice weakened at the mention of the treatments that she was going through with her disease. "I want to meet her one day…" she muttered, knowing that she was bedridden until she could be cured.

"Hm," Naruto said cupping his chin before looking down at her. "Well I don't think I can really do anything about that, but there is one thing I can do for ya," Naruto said looking back at the two parents who nodded at him. Turning to the girl, he reached down and placed his palm over her heart. The girl's eyes widened as black markings spread over her body form where Naruto's hand was.

She felt a warm feeling spread over her. Her eyes widened as she slowly felt her strength returning to her. The heart beat monitor started to show stronger and stronger activity in response. When the markings faded away, the young girl felt like she had never been sick to begin with.

"There!" Naruto said as he walked back to Ace, ready to leave before any Marines arrived on the island.

"Wait!" The girl yelled, sitting up much to the concern of her parents, but were shocked when it seemed like their once sick daughter was now healthy again. "C-can I take a picture?" she asked, holding up a small snail with a slit on its shell.

"Sure!" the two replied, humoring the girl enough to take a photo. The dad took the camera and the two moved behind her, smiling at the camera for the picture.

*click*

And there we go! We're done with Big Mom for now officially. I'm using this time period before canon starts to kinda have him travel about for a bit.

Anyways...After receiving PMs asking, I think it's unfair that I keep being so wishy-washy for people who are very adamant about how the romance option turns out. A

I do truly hope that all of you who read this can trust in me to make this story great!

So...yeah harem won the poll by a landslide. So figured here is the tentative list-

1)Nico Robin- No shit

2)Yamato- I...was kind of surprised the DOMINATION they had in the poll. I mean half of all voters picked them as their option. Like for real.

3)Boa Hancock- Second place, the fact that I added them late and they caught up like that...wow

4)Nami- Tied with Hancock and kinda predictable

5)Smoothie- I guess...I swayed people to like her? Like she went from bottom of the poll to fourth

These other three are tentative but not confirmed.

6)Uta- Honestly, from what I've seen in the movie she seems to desire peace above anything else so figured she'd fit well. Yes I've seen it, and no I will not reference movie aspects until the movie is out. Also I wanna see it again in English

7)Vivi- REALLY need to see what happens after Cobra's death.

8)Reiju- VERY on the fence about her. Gotta look more into it.

That's about it in that regard.

I know there are a few of you who'll stop reading now. I accept that and I am truly sorry about that and hope you find a story that'll fit what you wanna read. For those on the fence about it, I really hope that you give me the chance to deliver a good story. The way I see it romance would be more of an extra bonus, not a main theme. Also don't expect lemons every other chapter lol. This isn't a smutfic either!

I wanna right something that people enjoy and that I enjoy writing. Which is why I say tentative list, things can change. So that's why I'll leave the poll up for now. Like if I see Perona suddenly EXPLODE, well we'll see.

Whatever, I just wanted to address that!

Anyways, thanks for reading! Have a nice day!
