"It's a good thing we managed to get away." A voice from the railing of the ship had the four Baroque Works agents freezing in place for a long moment as the group got out of the second bout of fog and everyone turned towards the voice.
Sitting on the railing was a familiar but different woman who had the four former bounty hunters paling drastically.
"Ms. All-Sunday!" Vivi yelled in fear…she was left gaping when Luffy jumped at the woman and glomped her in a hug.
"Robin!" Luffy said happily as he hugged the woman who smiled softly and wrapped her arms around him in a hug as well.
"Hello Captain. I see it worked…will you let me join your crew again?" Robin asked smiling at Luffy who blinked at her.
"Now you sound like Brook! Don't be stupid Robin. You never left!" Luffy said, earning a kick to the head from Sanji for calling Robin stupid. The woman herself merely laughed and carded her fingers through Luffy's hair fondly.
"Thank you Captain. It's nice to see you all again." Robin said looking at the rest of the crew with a fond smile on her face.
"It's always lovely to see you again Robin-swan!" Sanji said doing his noodle dance.
"Hmph. Bout time you got here." Zoro said smirking but she knew he was happy to see her.
"Glad to have you back sister." Nami said although she kept her eyes on the log pose.
"Robin! Glad you're back!" Usopp said grinning at the woman and giving her a wave.
"Yohohoho! Wonderful to see you again Robin-san! May I see your pan-" Brook was knocked almost clear across the deck by Nami's Clima-tact hitting his skull.
"Fufufufufufu. You all haven't changed a bit." Robin said amused and still keeping Luffy close. She could almost feel how tired he was despite having gotten more sleep as more crew members joined him. He slept best with his beloved Nakama nearby after all.
"You can sleep if you wish Luffy-kun. Here…let's get to the folding chair." Robin said smiling softly down at Luffy, almost maternally, as she moved down to the folding chair that Sanji had set out for her ahead of time and using her strength and an extra arm or two to help her carry the captain down with ease.
"Now rest Luffy. We're here and we're on the way to get Chopper…and from what I heard from a few sources your queens and dragon are on their way with our helmsman." Robin said smiling softly as she cuddled Luffy and let him lay his head on her shoulder, a line of spare arms grabbing her book from where she had left it in the girls quarters and bringing it to her.
"Mkay. Nami. We're going to Little Garden. Gotta save Dorry and Broggy. By the way…our insiders in the Marines are back too." Luffy said at first to Nami and then to Robin.
"That's good to know…but I can tell you haven't slept well or much recently. So rest Luffy." Robin said softly and she began to hum a tune in her throat while Brook began to play a soft melody on his violin.
"Usopp can you show the new ones to the sleeping quarters and inform them to be quiet? If they wake up our captain I will not be held responsible for my actions." Robin requested the sniper who nodded once and bundled the four baffled Baroque Works agents into the lower decks of the ship.
"Robin is one of us. She's been spying on Crocodile and getting ready for us to show up to take him down. That's why she lead you to Crocodile. Luffy has constant nightmares and can't sleep well without the crew there and we're still missing his three wives, our doctor, our shipwright and our helmsman." Usopp said promptly to the four former bounty hunters.
"If you wake him up Robin really will kill you…or at least snap your spines. Nami will either hit you with her clima-tact or fry you with lightning, Sanji will kick the two males with burning feet because he doesn't hit women, Zoro will cut you all into little bitty pieces…and I'm a sniper…you won't even have a chance to react or see my pellets coming." Usopp said with a cold smile as he stared at the four who shivered and rapidly nodded their heads in understanding at this.
"Good and just so you're aware. Robin is pretty much the crew mom, Brook is the crew grandpa, our Shipwright is the dad, our Helmsman is the fun uncle, our doctor is the baby of the group and Luffy is married to three others who will happily kill a lot of people to make him happy or safe." Usopp said casually as if it should be common knowledge. He forgot that the Vivi here wasn't the same Vivi that had been at Luffy's wedding happily catching up with the crew and sneaking them a few supplies and notes from their Marine sources.
"Why do you all seem so familiar to me?" Vivi asked out of the blue and Usopp stared at her for a moment in silence.
"Even in the town when Cook-san was taking out everyone else I was shocked at his strength, not scared. Like I knew none of you would hurt me…why?" Vivi asked frowning as she looked at Usopp who grinned at her.
"That's cause you're starting to remember. You weren't part of the actual crew but you were one of our Nakama. Still are and always will be. Who knows maybe all of your memories will come back soon while we travel to beat up the sand Croc." Usopp said grinning widely at the girl who looked at him confused for a moment longer while the other three just exchanged looks and shrugs.
They had no idea what was going on anymore and probably weren't going to figure it out anytime soon. They'd just have to get used to it.
"Then we will be in your care and I will trust you all." Vivi said with a formal curtsey and Usopp just laughed and led the way to the sleeping quarters.
"Not a problem. We know Vivi and Igaram but what about you two? What are your names so that we don't just stick with muscle woman and bat man?" Usopp asked glancing at Mr. 9 and Ms. Monday.
"Faith…my name is Faith." Ms. Monday said after a moment while Mr. 9 grinned slightly.
"Bruce! My name is Bruce! Nice to meet ya!" Mr. 9 said grinning at Usopp who smiled back.
"Alright, welcome aboard Bruce and Faith. Now here on the left is the Girls room, you two will only have to share with Nami and Robin. On the right is the guys room where you'll currently be sharing with me, Sanji, Luffy, and occasionally Brook and Zoro. Although they don't sleep in here much, Zoro prefers the training room and Brook usually takes the night watch since he doesn't have to sleep like the rest of us do. If he is in there he usually plays soft music on his violin to help us sleep better at night. If it's one of the restless nights then you four will have the two rooms to yourselves because the rest of us will be cuddled up together either on deck or in the captains quarters." Usopp said throwing open the door to the womens quarters and then walking across to throw open the door to the mens quarters.
"There's spare cots for the guys in the cabinet right there along with pillows and blankets. Sorry but we only have two beds in the ladies room so you two will either have to share with Nami and Robin, each other if they share one bed, or use the cots." Usopp said showing them where everything was and making them nod slowly and give small words of thanks to him.
"I think I'll lay down for a little while. My head is starting to hurt." Vivi said already setting up one of the cots for herself and making Usopp nod and leave the four to themselves as he retreated back up to the deck to check on Luffy.
The others had no idea what was going on other than that they were traveling with a strange and insanely strong crew that somehow knew everything that was going on.
None of the three said anything though as the unanimously decided to set up their cots and just take a nap or lay down in peace for a little while to process everything that happened.
And for one blue haired princess as soon as her eyes closed, memories of things that hadn't happened yet flashed through her mind.
