1 PIECE another time travel

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter)

While his Queens were planning their escapes from the New World, Luffy had began sailing around to get his crew back together.

Of course he had ended up right back in the same whirlpool as he had the first time and being pulled aboard a luxury liner that he recalled had been attacked by pirates when he once again sealed himself in a barrel. It was actually kind of fun and soothing since he knew he wasn't going to die. It was very easy for him to fall asleep again.

After meeting up with Coby again and knocking Alvida a good few miles away Luffy turned when he felt a familiar strong presence that smelled of Mikan and crackled like lightning to his senses.

"It's good to see you again Captain." The orange haired woman behind him said smirking and Luffy smirked back at her.

"Good to see you too Nami. How's the worlds best Navigator?" Luffy asked grinning and pulling her into a hug while she smiled and hugged her pseudo-brother back.

"Only as good as her Captain. Now…shall we go find our lost swordsman?" Nami asked grinning and making Luffy laugh as the two of them and a confused Coby dropped into a boat that Nami began to expertly guide away from the scene as the Marines arrived.

"So where are we heading Captain?" Nami asked looking to her Captain for the towns name and making Luffy grin.

"Shell's town. The sooner we're all back together the better." Luffy said grinning as Nami immediately moved the boat in the right direction and began to navigate the way expertly. After all she was used to the New Worlds bullshit, so the East Blue was so simple and easy she could navigate it in her sleep.

"Wait…are you really going to recruit the Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro? But he kills pirates!" Coby demanded shocked and confused and making the two snicker a bit.

"Of course we're going to pick him up, after all we need our First Mate and swordsman." Luffy said with a laugh as he relaxed a bit, comfortable to let Nami steer the ship since she actually knew what she was doing.

"He's…already part of your crew?" Coby asked surprised and wondering why he had never heard of this before since something like that would have at least been talked about in rumors in the East Blue.

"Yeah just like Nami here. We all got separated however but we were expecting it. Now I just have to go by and get everyone back together." Luffy said as his hat sank down over his eyes to shade them from the sun.

"Yeah…at least this time we knew it was coming…I know it's hard for you to sleep without them nearby but try to get some rest Captain, I can tell how tired you are." Nami said making Luffy nod a little bit. It was hard for him to sleep without his crew and especially his queens nearby…he hadn't slept at all since he had come back to the past…but…now with at least one of his Nakama here?

"I'll try." Luffy relented to that much and Nami sighed as she moved back towards her captain before sitting beside him and letting him lean against her.

"I know it's hard without everyone else here but I'm here now my captain. It's not much but I'm here for you now and we're going to get Zoro. Just rest." Nami said softly as she tried to coax him to sleep a bit, she'd be able to navigate and steer the small boat from here so the least she could do is be a pillow for her captain. For a little while.

"I'll try…thanks Nami." Luffy said relaxing against her and tilting his hat down to cover his face from the sun.

"Always Captain." Nami said softly as she smiled at him as he laid his head on her shoulder and tried to rest his eyes for a little bit.

"Are you two dating?" Coby asked watching them both curiously and making Nami shake her head in the negative.

"No nothing like that. He's actually married but was separated from his wives just like he was from the rest of us. I owe him everything though…" Nami said smiling softly down at her captain who she knew was still awake but at least he was relaxing more now and might actually doze off.

"Married?! But he's so young! And you said wives as in more than one?!" Coby asked gaping in shock at Nami who nodded her head.

"Believe it or not but we're actually older than we look, or older than our reported ages. He's been married to three others for three years going on four." Nami said and she wondered when they'd meet the Queens again, she knew that they sure as hell weren't going to wait two years for Luffy to get his lovers back.

"Is that allowed?!" Coby asked in disbelief and making Nami roll her eyes a bit.

"On some islands it is, heck on a few it's encouraged and seen as a good thing, and even if it's not…well we're pirates. We don't give a fuck about laws or society's norms." Nami said smirking slightly at the end and making Coby nod his head slowly in understanding.

Right they were pirates, of course they wouldn't follow any laws much less care about monogamy.

"Besides it's not like he's the only one with three spouses. All three of the queens are not just married to him but each other as well. Galette is married to Luffy, Yamato, and Reiju while Reiju is married to Luffy, Galette, and Yamato and Yamato is married to Luffy, Galette, and Reiju. Of course Luffy is married to Reiju, Yamato and Galette so it's not so much as him having three wives but more that they couldn't just pick one of the other three over the others and so they all married each other in one big happy poly pile." Nami tried to explain it to the boy who's face went bright red at the images his mind was conjuring up about more than one woman being together.

"It'd be impossible for them to just pick one of the others and they all had enough love in their hearts for all three of the others…so even if it seems strange to other people none of our crew will care or bat an eye. They make it work and they're all so ridiculously happy." Nami said as her fingers began to card through Luffy's hair, scratching his scalp lightly and making him nearly go boneless against her.

"He was more tired than I thought. He must have not slept more than an hour or two a night for the last week." Nami said looking worried at her captain when he almost immediately passed out on her shoulder.

"Does he do that a lot?" Coby asked sounding concerned as he looked at Luffy.

"Mm. After everything that we've all been through, especially Luffy, he has a hard time sleeping when he's not near the crew. Since I'm the only one who he's found right now I'm the only one who can get him to fall asleep even if it won't be for long. We'd need the whole crew back for him to sleep for at least 6 hours." Nami said and se was still staring at her Captain's peacefully dozing face for a long moment before she turned her head back to the direction they needed to go in.

Her captain needed everyone sooner rather than later. Thankfully the swordsman was nearby and the next one they were going to pick up. He'd be able to get Luffy to sleep without any argument at all.

Which was good because a cranky or sleep-deprived Luffy was scary as hell an very dangerous against his enemies, as the Charlottes that had followed their mother to Wano would testify.
