Hey guys! Welcome back! Now before I start off this story, I would like to answer a question that many people have had for me.

Are Ace, Sabo and Luffy still brothers?

And my answer is no. They are NOT brothers. At least not at the moment. I have plans for them in the future. And you guys will like it! If you guys don't… I'll use my Geass!

Anyways, without further ado, I'll begin the chapter

"Mihawk gave me no sake… It was hell…"- Speech

'I don't like sake… How does Zoro drink it?' – Thinking

"Poêle à Frire: Spectre!" – Attacks

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece. If I did, Luffy would've one-shot Kaido.

Chapter 11

"Reiju?"

At that moment, a few necks whipped. There, standing, in a French maid outfit, was a woman, with dark pink hair, covering the right side of her face. She had twirly eyebrows. She stared back at Sanji.

"… Sanji? Is that you?" She asked, tears gathering in her eyes. Sanji stood up, and walked in front of her. She was a little nervous. Here, she was, in front of her brother, dressed in a maid outfit. What would he think of her? Would he be disappointed in her? All these thoughts were erased when Sanji hugged her. He was smiling.

"You have no clue how much l missed you." Sanji whispered. She smiled. So she wasn't the one who thought about the other.

Meanwihle, Luffy, Zoro, and Pudding were looking at the siblings union, happy for Sanji and Reiju. Usopp was confused. Nami, was furious. "Sanji! How dare you?!" Sanji looked at her confused, as did everyone else. "Pudding-chan, right here, is your WIFE, and you're cheating on her!" She yelled, getting the attention of all the customers, who then glared at Sanji. Sanji, Luffy and the crew looked at each other, then looked at Nami. They laughed. They almost fell to the ground, clutching their respective stomach, while laughing. Nami anger evaporated away, and looked at the others, as did the customers.

It took them some time to calm down. After, Sanji looked at Nami. "Sorry, sorry. I forgot to introduce her to you." He replied with a bright smile, which further confused the others. "This, is my sister, Reiju." The customers and Usopp let out an "Ohhhhh…", whereas Nami just looked down, embarrassed. She had jumped to conclusions, without even asking. "Sorry…" she mumbled, depressed. Everyone just chuckled.

A few hours later

Reiju was standing outside, beside Sanji, enjoying the breeze. All of a sudden, Sanji spoke out the question he had in his mind. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in North Blue?" Reiju winced. "Well… After I helped you escape, father found out about it, and eventually figured out that I had helped you." At this, Sanji muttered an apology, which she just brushed off. "He couldn't imprison me, like he did to you, since I had the super human genes. So he did the next worst thing. He banished me." Sanji bit down on his cigarette. "After that, I ended up on the Orbit." She continued. "And that's where you met Zeff, right?" Sanji asked, finishing the story for her. She nodded. "He cut off his leg to save me from drowning…" She told him.

"Ever since then, I've been living here, with Owner Zeff… He had taken care of me, and taught me how to cook. I'm in his debt…" She continued, with a sigh. "Why don't you join my crew?" A voice came from behind them, causing them to whip around. Sanji kicked at the person, instantly, relying on his instincts. It was caught by Luffy, however, creating a shockwave that send the waves wild around them. "Shishishishi! Sanji, don't kick so hard… It's good that you didn't kick at your full power. The goddamn ship would've sunk." Luffy said with a laugh. Sanji just huffed. Reiju, meanwhile gapped at the power that her brother and his captain showed. How powerful were those two? She realized that her mouth was still open, and closed it. She coughed into her hand. "Sorry. Can you repeat the question?" She asked, not having payed attention. Luffy just chuckled. "I said, 'Why don't you join my crew?'" He replied.

Sanji's jaw dropped, his cigarette falling out of his mouth. Before she could answer, he dragged his shitty captain off to the side. "Are you out of your mind? Why are you asking her to join the crew. You know how dangerous it will be out there, right?" He inquired, baffled by his captain's question. Luffy just sighed, and placed his hands on Sanji's shoulders. "Sanji, I know that you care about your sister. But, will you be satisfied, with the fact that Reiju will remain here, working here for life? I remember you were also like her before I met you. What if I hadn't appeared here? You would've been here, working, while all your potential would've been shot to hell." Luffy explained, serious about recruiting Reiju. Sanji was going to protest, when Luffy asked him one last question. " Do you really think she would be happy, staying here?" At this, Sanji shut his mouth. He gritted his teeth. He didn't want to say it, but his shitty captain was right. He sighed. "Fine. But It will be her choice. By the time we leave, if she doesn't say yes, then she doesn't come with us. Capiche?" Sanji asked, holding his hand out. "Capiche." Luffy replied, shaking his hand.

Reiju, on the other hand, was in deep thought. She had always wanted to find a place called Poison Paradise. It's a place, where there are many poisonous fishes. She absolutely LOVED poison. The taste of it was addicting. She licked her lips at the thought of having more poison. She stopped. She still had her debt that she had to pay to Owner Zeff. "Fuck…" She whispered, disappointed by the fact that she couldn't go with her brother. She sighed. It was time to go back inside.

A few minutes later

"Thank you for the food, Reiju-san!" A man said, thanking her for the free food she gave him. He had been starving for days on the marine ship. She sighed. "Don't thank me. I know how it feels to starve." She replied, the memories coming back, where she and Zeff were stranded on a cliff, starving for weeks.

"Hey! Join my crew!" The same annoying sound came from behind her. She sighed for the umpteenth time. At this point, she wasn't even surprised to have him speak from behind him. She turned around, and flatly denied him. "I refuse. I still have to repay Owner Zeff." Was what she said. Luffy, on the other hand, couldn't help but twitch his lips. He knew what he had to say. "I refuse your refusal." That was all he said. It made Reiju's eyes widen and brain sizzle. He giggled. Sanji had said the exact same thing. But Reiju's reaction was much better.

The man, whose name was Gin, was curious. He looked at the boy with the straw hat. He had seen the boy before, but he couldn't remember where. Shrugging it off, he asked the boy. "Hey kid! What are you planning to do in the future?" At this, the boy grinned. "I'm planning to go to Para- I mean the Grand Line!" Luffy exclaimed, mentally hitting himself for the slip up. Reiju, who noticed this, decided to mentally note it away.

Gin, on the other hand, was horrified. He and the Krieg's pirates had just recently returned from the Grand Line. They hadn't even lasted a week. "Listen kid. Take my advice; don't go into the Grand Line. It's not a safe place for you and your crew." Gin advised, worried for the kid. He didn't look strong. How was he going to survive in the Grand Line?

Luffy laughed. It had been a while since Gin had said those words. Although he didn't want to reveal that he had practically grown up in the New World. It would ruin the surprise. "Me and my crew are strong enough to survive in the Grand Line!" He replied, confidence booming in his voice. This piped Reiju's interest. She had heard that the Grand Line was a dangerous place. And the way Luffy spoke left room for no arguments. He wasn't boasting. He was merely speaking the truth.

Gin shrugged. He gave him advice. It was up to the kid whether he wanted to listen or not. All of a sudden, a voice came from behind them. "Reiju. Are you going to allow him to eat for free?" An old man asked her. Said old man had a huge mustache, a decent beard, a chef hat on his head, and was wearing a chef coat. This was Zeff, the owner of the restaurant. Luffy smirked. "Who said he's not paying?" He asked, flicking a few gold coins at him, which Zeff caught with ease. Zeff smirked back. "Thank you for the payment." He replied, walking back inside. Gin bowed. "Thank you for paying for my food. I had been starving for days. The marined hadn't fed me anything." He explained, making Reiju clench her fists. Seeing the tension, Luffy decided to speak up. "Let's go back inside." At this, both of them nodded.

After a few hours

The customers were screaming in fear. "It's Don Krieg's ship!" One customer yelled. "What do we do?!" Another customer yelled, freaking out.

The chefs were telling them to evacuate the ship. And so they listened. They left the restaurant, and got onto their respective boats, all within minutes.

It was at that time that the doors opened. There was Gin, and his captain, Don Krieg. Don Krieg was being carried by Gin. They dropped to the floor, and started to beg for food. The chefs denied them food. At that moment, Reiju walked in, carrying food in her hands. She placed the food in front of Don Krieg. He saw the food, and immediately started to chow it down.

Luffy had remembered what would happen next. He saw Don Krieg smirk. He was about to yell at Reiju, when he saw Sanji move. He settled down with a smirk. This would certainly be interesting to watch.

When Don Krieg finished his food, he smirked. His plan was going as planned. He turned up, and went to punch the girl. He didn't care about the gender. He had injured both men and women. He had killed both men and women. Now imagine his surprise, when a person, who looked familiar for some reason, wearing a black and yellow kimono just appeared in front of him, and stuck his foot out. What surprised him more was that when his fist and the person's leg collided, his punch was stopped.

Sanji, on the other hand, was mad. No. He was furious. This bastard had dared to throw his fist at his sister. He could've have kicked him, hard. However, that would break the restaurant. He didn't want that to happen. So he had forced to stop his punch without the use of any force. He glared into his eyes. He spoke in a low tone. "How dare you? How dare you throw a measly punch AT MY SISTER?" He whispered, the last part being yelled, as he controlled his urge to kick him, hard enough to give him a concussion.

Zoro sighed. Talk about overprotective brothers. At that moment, he sensed him. Zoro smirked. He would be here in a few minutes. At that time, it would be the time to show everyone his true strength. Luffy looked over, and gave him thumbs up. It was his way of saying "good luck!"

"A-anyways! You all! Give me food for 100 people, or else I will take over this ship!" Don Krieg exclaimed, completely missing the gleam in Luffy's and Sanji's eyes. At this, Reiju started to walk towards the kitchen. The cooks were shocked. They blocked her way to the kitchen. "What are you doing Reiju? Are you secretly a spy for Don Krieg, or something?" The cooks asked her, angry at her actions. Before she could answer, Zeff appeared with the food for his people. He placed it in front of him. "Here. Take the food and give it to your men." He said.

The cooks started yelling. "Owner Zeff! What are you doing? He's our enemy!" This got Don Krieg's attention. "Zeff? As in Red-Leg Zeff? The man was said to have lived in the Grand Line for 2 years..." And he kept on babbling about him becoming the Pirate King, until Luffy decided to speak up. "Oi. The one who's going to be Pirate King is me." Luffy said, causing everyone to look at him, save Sanji and Zoro, to look at him as if he were crazy.

When his eyes focused on Luffy, he began to stutter. "I-I-Is that… 'Island Destroyer Luffy'? The man who has said to have lived with Yonko Shanks for 10 years? He doesn't have a bounty yet, because he hasn't done anything as a crime, but he is rumored to have been as strong as the Yonko himself. Whenever he fights, it has said that he levels an island." He finished, shocking everyone, save Zoro and Sanji, who simply smirked. His eyes turned to Zoro. "A-a-and that's 'Demon Blade Zoro', said to have lived under Yonko Whitebeard for 10 years. He doesn't have a bounty either, but has been said to have defeated First Commander Marco in a fight. He's said to have being using three swords. Nobody knows how strong he is with his swords yet." This caused everyone to look at Zoro. Luffy and Sanji in pride, while the others in more shock. His eyes shakily turned to Sanji, still affected by his threat. "T-that's 'Black Flame Sanji'. He has said to been living under Yonko Big Mom. He doesn't have a bounty, but it is said that he has defeated 'Sweet Commander Katakuri' in fights. His kicks have said to snap mountains into pieces. He is married to 'Mind Destroyer Pudding'." He finished, causing everyone's eyes to fix onto Sanji. Luffy and Zoro were smiling, while everyone else almost fainted. Reiju's eyes were wide open at the description of the trio.

"B-b-b-but w-w-w-with my men, the Krieg Pirates won't lose! We'll take over this hip, and conquer and Grand Line!" He proclaimed, sounding like he was trying to convince himself. He went back to the ship, and gave his men the food.

At that time, Zoro came out, ready to have a challenge. He had been bored of facing the weak people. Just as he came out, Krieg's ship was cut in half. Screams came from the ship, as half of it sunk into the water.

At that point, a small boat came into view. At was strangely shaped like a coffin. On top of the boat was a man. Said man was wearing an open black coat, a hat with a plume, purple pants, and boots. He had a big sword on his back. He had eyes that were strangely shaped like that of a hawk. This man was none other than Mihawk.

Many of the Kriegs' pirates were mad, took out their guns, and shot at him. Mihawk moved his swords in such speed, that to a normal person, it would seem that Mihawk was cutting the bullets. However, the trio was anything from normal. He wasn't cutting them, he was redirecting them. Zoro sighed. "Still one of the most graceful uses of a sword I've seen." He said. Those words caught Mihawk's attention. He looked at Zoro, as if staring into his very soul.

He could tell that swordsman, and the smoking man, were heavily suppressing their aura. However, it didn't compare to the boy with the straw hat. He was suppressing his aura extremely heavily. He could tell that the boy's aura was stronger than his, which surprised him. It wasn't every day that you found a person younger, yet stronger than you. However, he was interested in the swordsman more than anyone else.

"Tell me boy. What is your name?" He asked the swordsman.

Zoro was surprised, if anything. He wasn't expecting Mihawk to take the initiative to ask his name. "My name is Roronoa Zoro." Zoro answered. "I have been bored in the East Blue for a while, not having had a good battle in a few days. Care for a match?" Zoro asked, smirking. "It'll make you free of your boredom." He finished.

Mihawk chuckled. This man was just like him. How could he refuse to a young man with such potential and strength?

"By all means, shall we?" Mihawk asked, getting into his stance. Zoro took out his 3 swords and also got into his Santoryu stance. "We shall." Was all he replied with. They rushed towards each other.

The battle had begun.
