1 PIECE another time travel

Finally after several hours of partying the pirates seemed to drop off one by one just as the bounty hunters were getting worried.
"Are you sure that they're worth it?" The nun asked looking at Mr. 8 who nodded and then held up their bounty posters.
"Holy shit. We grabbed people with that big of a bounty?" Ms. Monday asked looking stunned at what the apparent newbies were worth.
"The swordsman went toe to toe with Mihawk and managed to cut off his ear. When the swordsman was defeated and thought dead, the Captain kicked Mihawks sword and left cracks in it." Mr. 8 said looking a bit worried about that as he recalled that news article and the sight of the picture of the fight where Mihawks ear was cut off.
"Oh my god." Ms. Wednesday was gaping in disbelief at that news as she wondered how exactly they had managed to catch people who were that strong.
"So you have an idea of how strong we are…question is are you still going to try anything?" Zoro's voice froze the blood in their veins as they slowly turned towards the building where he was perched upon with Wado out and reflecting the moonlight.
"Sir! All of the pirates are missing!" One of the bounty hunters who didn't have a rank said rushing from the building. His words gave them pause for a brief second. Did he just say that…
"All of them?" Ms. Monday asked and that's when they heard the click of a lighter and noticed a tiny flame nearby.
"It really wouldn't be in your best interests to try anything." Sanji's voice had them turning to the shadows of a building where he was standing there casually lighting up a cigarette and completely encased with shadows except for his cigarette.
"Yohohoho! Why this is enough to chill the blood in my veins! Ah but I don't have blood or veins anymore! Yohohoho!" Brook laughed and they turned around as fast as a whip to see him standing behind them leaning upon his cane.
"Shishishishi." Luffy's laugh had them all as white as a sheet as they turned to see him sitting there on another rooftop illuminated by the moonlight smiling bright enough that his teeth reflected the moonlight and it seemed to make him look like a shadowed figure with just a wide unnatural bright gleaming grin.
"And anyone who tries to take our ship is being stopped by Usopp who's in the crows nest. And Nami…well…she's being Nami." Luffy said and there was a cry of pain from near the docks that was apparently from Usopp defending the ship.
"Looks like tonight we add more graves to the cactus rocks." Mr. 8 said affixing a dangerous look on his face as he stared at the Strawhats.
Said Strawhats promptly began laughing loudly and completely unconcerned by the flood of bounty hunters that had swarmed out into the plaza ready to fight and kill them.
The Baroque Works agents never felt so embarrassed and angry before as they stared at the laughing pirates, getting more and more angry as time went on and the pirates kept laughing. Then all of a sudden it stopped.
"You stand no chance Baroque Works." Zoro said and the looks on the bounty hunters faces was hilarious at Zoro knowing their company name.
"How do you know that name!?" Mr. 8 demanded while Luffy laughed at the looks on their faces.
"Back when I was in the bounty hunting business I received an offer to join you all from the then Mr. 7. I sent him back in pieces with my refusal. The bounty hunters in a group shrouded in shadows where only the strongest are given a strange codename. No one knows who the boss is except for a select few." Zoro said telling what he knew in the beginning about it and making the bounty hunters look nervous. He had been strong enough to be recruited by the former Mr. 7 and had beaten him?! He was definitely stronger than the ones here even if it wasn't by much in the case of Mr. 8.
"Not to mention we have our own spy in your group. She'll be joining us soon." Luffy said grinning still as he just sat there casually and waited for the exploding guy and the girl who's power let her become fat without actually being fat…or something like that.
"Then we really can't let you leave here alive." Mr. 8 said grimly and Luffy just laughed at them again.
"Whatever you say. You're all barely a workout even for Usopp or Nami, much less Brook or the rest of us." Luffy said grinning unconcerned and then looking at his crew.
"Who wants to face off against a thousand bounty hunters and those four?" Luffy asked and Sanji smirked as he kicked off of the building he was leaning against.
"Zoro got them last time, I'll take them this time Captain." Sanji said as he puffed on his cigarette and stood against the bounty hunters.
"Have fun Sanji! Oh and watch out! They aren't as strong as we're used to." Luffy said and the Bounty Hunters twitched slightly at being considered weak when they vastly outnumbered the pirates.
"Aye. I'll be done in just a minute." Sanji said and then his cigarette had burned down to the but so he flicked it away.
With that Sanji vanished from the Bounty Hunters sights and suddenly there were swaths of bounty hunters being knocked out or into buildings which amounted to pretty much the same thing.
The four frontier agents were left wide eyed and shaking at how quickly one guy was taking them down without even using a weapon. Of course what was scarier was the fact that they could barely see him as he took down the groups of bounty hunters with ease, tearing through them as if they were wet pieces of paper in his way.
That's when an explosion ripped through the island from behind them.
Turning around and fearing another Straw Hat the Bounty Hunters were relieved to see Ms. Valentines Day and Mr. 5 standing there with the male rubbing his nose, having just sneezed.
"Did you come to help us?" Mr. 9 asked looking relieved at the sight of the two and making them snicker or laugh cruelly.
"No…it turns out that someone knows the boss's identity and we were dispatched to eliminate that person." Mr. 5 said and the four frontier agents looked at each other while Mr. 8 and Ms. Wednesday began to sweat a little.
"Turns out that person is also royalty. Missing royalty to be exact." Mr. 5 said and Ms. Monday turned to look at Mr. 9 immediately while he panicked a bit.
"Hey I know I wear a crown but that doesn't make me actual royalty! It's just a harmless little hobby is all!" Mr. 9 said waving his hand defensively in front of his face.
"We don't mean you fool. We mean Princess Vivi! And her loyal bodyguard Igaram." Mr. 5 said looking at Ms. Wednesday and Mr. 8 now.
"Oh? So the blue haired one is a princess? Oh wow imagine that! She's the same blue haired princess of Alabasta who's been missing for like two years. Her disguise was so clever I'm surprised anyone noticed." Luffy's voice dripped sarcasm from it and made his crew snicker.
"After all there's a lot of blue haired women around that age frame. It's no surprise she was able to pretend to be someone else so effectively." Luffy said and he had a point. There weren't a lot of people with Vivi's unique shade of blue hair in the world that they knew about. It should have been rather obvious to someone like Crocodile who thought that they were so smart.
"This doesn't concern you pirates." Mr. 5 said and he tried to be intimidating but he just earned flat looks from everyone else.
"I don't know what's going on but I'll never let you hurt my friend!" Ms. Monday said and she got into a fighting stance, Mr. 9 readying his bats right beside her.
"Ms. Wednesday…Princess…let us take care of them while you run! You've got a lot more important things to do than face them right?" Mr. 9 asked grinning at her over his shoulder and then readying himself.
"It's nice how you two are ready to fight to the death for your friend, I really respect that…but it's not necessary." Luffy said still sitting there looking bored. He knew that Nami wanted to get in on the action, especially against those that had tried to hurt her friend Vivi.
"Wha-"
"Nami." Luffy saying her name was all Nami was waiting for as she used her clima-tact (thankfully with all the party tricks removed) to slam a large thunderbolt down onto the two agents, knocking them unconscious almost immediately.
"Now let's get ready to set sail for Alabasta…we have a Warlord to beat up." Luffy said grinning and making his crew grin as well.
"You probably want a ride Vivi…but the rest of you are welcome to come as well. Crocodile likely won't let you just leave and we can handle any assassins he sends our way." Luffy said and he stunned Vivi and Igaram with how he already knew Mr. 0's name.
"Wha…why would you…"
Poor Vivi was too confused and stunned to do much other than gape and be ushered to the Merry along with the other three frontier agents.
It seemed like all of them were quite stupefied and stunned and had no clue how to react right now.
