"Why are you leaving?" Luffy asked looking at his brother confused when Ace made to leave with Amande on his little Fire Skiff boat thing. Whitey had already left back towards the New World in order to meet up with Pops and her other 'brothers' and tell them about their new little brother in person as well as about their apparent alliance with Big Mom through said little brother.

She had promised to send them pictures or have the snail going so that they could hear the Whitebeards reactions for themselves.

"I have to track down Blackbeard." Ace said blinking and frowning at Luffy who frowned back.

"So instead of staying with us when you know he's coming after me you're going to go off on your own? And not only that but you're going to take your pregnant girlfriend with you to track down an incredibly dangerous man who lead to you dying last time? What if he decides to go after Amande and the baby to get to you?" Luffy asked looking at his brother as if he were stupid and earning a frown from Ace who hadn't thought about that.

"Then I'll be following behind you guys while Amande stays with your crew. She'll be safer there with you." Ace said looking at his fiancé worried and earning a small frown from the woman but she didn't say anything just yet. It was true. She and Sabo would be safer with Luffy's crew. They are the second Kings Crew after all and had the strength and cunning to survive her mother, and Kaido, and Shanks too if they had made it to Raftel.

"I don't like being coddled and protected." Amande finally said with a glare as she gripped the hilt of her sword. She was a full grown woman who had earned her title and bounty thank you.

"Don't think of it as protecting you sister. Think of it as protecting Sabo-chan. You don't want anything to happen to your baby do you?" Brulee asked making Amande tense but then relax as she looked away with her hand releasing her sword. No. She didn't want anything happening to her baby. It was a minor miracle that she had even gotten pregnant to start with, given her age and the fact that she was half snake-neck. Snake-necks were known for having low birthing rates and since she was a half-breed…

This was most likely her only chance at becoming a mother. She didn't want anything to jeopardize her baby, she was going to have this baby and she was going to raise him. She was going to be a far better mother than her own was to her army of siblings. She was going to be like how Mama used to be. How her mother had been until Brulee had been attacked and scared. How her mother had been before Cracker or Smoothie came along. Amande was going to be a good mother to her child, a mother like her own had been when Amande had just been a little girl.

"Don't worry though! We won't let anyone hurt you and little Sabo. You're my favorite sister after all." Luffy said with a grin and causing Amande to look at him surprised while Brulee snorted slightly.

"She's your only sister-in-law who hasn't spent four years trying to kill you. Most of my sisters were out for your blood on mothers orders, and the ones who weren't doing it on mama's orders were doing it because you were a thief." Brulee said giving her fiancé a fondly exasperated look.

"Thief? You stole from Mama?" Amande asked in disbelief while Ace took this chance to ride off while Amande was distracted.

"Stole the Germa, stole Sanji back, and I stole Brulee's heart." Luffy said proudly and earning a look from Amande that was part amused part disbelieving.

"Stop telling people that you idiot!" Brulee's face was bright red in embarrassment as she lunged at Luffy and began to stretch his cheeks in punishment.

"Love you too!" Luffy said through the stretching out of his face causing Brulee to turn brighter red and stretch his cheeks out further.

"Idiot." Brulee said making Luffy grin even wider as his face snapped back into place when she released him finally.

"Your idiot!" Luffy said without pause and making her blush a bit but smile slightly.

"Yeah you are." Brulee said softly, smiling at her boyfriend while the crew chuckled at their antics.

"Looks like it's time for us to go. Bye Vivi!" Nami said noting the marine ship starting towards them and firing cannonballs, none of the crew even batting an eye at the dancing okama that had taken and hid their ship and was using himself and his crew as a diversion for the Straw Hats. Luffy clenched his fists. This time when he went to Impel Down, he wasn't going to let Bon-chan die.

"Princess Vivi! What is your relation to those pirates?!" One marine yelled at Vivi who was smiling and waving at the crew, the crew all holding up their arms that had a little black X drawn on their wrists.

"What the hell is up with your fiancee and his crew sister?" Amande asked watching as the crew waved Vivi off, a silent signal being sent that she was still one of their nakama, while the princess waved them off with her country's military all saluting the Straw Hat Pirates.

A flag Usopp had made being held up proudly by the color guard and an identical one flying over the palace.

"He's a loveable idiot with a heart of gold and a sense for adventure. Pretty sure he's crazy too." Brulee said grinning at her sister, her mirror mask forming on her face out of habit at the marines so close by.

"So did the swordsman really defeat Mihawk?"Amande asked glancing at the first mate curiously and earning nods from the crew as they sailed away from the marines and island.

"He did. He's just as crazy as Luffy by the way, or probably crazier given that he willingly follows my idiot husband." Brulee said making Amande grin towards the swordsman.

"Oi Demon mutt! After my baby's born and I get back into shape from pregnancy how about a spar?" Amande asked making Zoro laugh a bit.

"Sure thing Demon Lady. We'll find a nice deserted island so we don't kill anyone by accident." Zoro said grinning at her and his grin looked dangerous and sharp.

"I'll make sure to note down any appropriately empty islands." Nami said dryly but sighing as she steered them away from Alabasta.

"Hey Lu? Are we going to be dealing with Foxy and his pirates again?" Usopp asked wincing at the thought of that horrible moment when he thought Luffy had lost the fight against Foxy and had lost all of his crew.

"Nah. I don't want to deal with him. If he makes one mention of taking anyone from my crew I'll just give him a Gum Gum Bullet." Luffy said scowling slightly, his arms wrapping around Brulee possessively.

"Fufufufu. If he tried to take the Queen perhaps the Captain would show us his entrails?" Robin asked with a chuckle, Amande looked at the woman in disbelief while Chopper and Usopp pulled faces. The others didn't even bat an eye and instead Brulee just sighed.

"Oh there's her morbid sense of humor. It's been a while since you've said something like that Robin."
