4. Good Times

Luffy woke up to a blinding light stretching as he felt the sun's warm rays shine down on him. The bed felt more comfortable than any infirmary bed he'd ever been in. Shifting to his left side he felt a sleeping form muzzle into his neck. Orange hair flying in his face in a flurry.

"Nami?" Luffy asks reaching out for her.

She looks up at him giving him a quick kiss. "Morning." She said beaming happily at him.

"Morning.." Luffy trails off taking in the sight of his Navigator's naked sleeping form curling up to him.

Before he could say anything a loud wail from another room both caught their attention.

"Eddy must be awake, could you get him up?" Nami asks but her tone indicated it was rhetorical.

"Who?"

Nami giggles before rolling over thinking he was messing around. "Your son silly, now go." She said playfully palming his chest.

Luffy slowly made his way towards the wailing stepping cautiously. Once at the crib he looked down to see a newborn baby giggling obviously happy to see his face.

"Hey there Eddy." Luffy said placing the newborn in his arms. Tucking his arm under the toddler's head to support his neck while placing his other hand under the baby's frame to keep him close to his chest. How did he know how to pick up the newborn? Had he done it before? It was as simple as using an ability in battle, a natural instinct.

The straw hat captain began making silly faces for the toddler making him smile. It melted his heart. He felt like he was stuck in this one moment, holding his newborn son in his arms. This feeling was indescribable and incomparable beyond anything he could imagine. He was a father, and he couldn't recall ever being happier in his life than this moment.

The infant cooing as the two walked back to the bedroom he had left. Nami was nowhere in sight. Luffy assumed she went to get ready so he took his son out to the outside patio with him.

Once outside the view truly was spectacular truly remarkable. It overlooked one of clearest seas he'd ever seen, and the beaches were filled with red sand. In the distance he could see the sun beginning to rise in a light orange glow.

Nami broke Luffy out of his thought wrapping him up from behind.

"I love you Luffy." She said clear as day her forehead resting on his shoulders.

Luffy turned to face her. "I love you Nami, and Eddy so much. I will protect you guys till my last breath." Luffy spoke never being more sure of anything in his life.

"We know you will." Nami said smiling a pink tint to her cheeks. Noticing the infant in his hands reaching for his mom, he carefully slid Eddy into his mom's waiting arms.

Seeing Nami and Eddy in front of him with the sun illuminating their forms made him feel whole. Closing his eyes he took a moment to feel. He felt himself truly want this to never end the feeling he had. Opening his eyes to look at them again, Nami was now bouncing the baby lightly in her arms causing him to lightly giggle.

Her smile was all he needed in this moment to see to know what truly mattered to him. It wasn't being King of the Pirates, Freedom fighter of the new world, leader of the eleven super novas, or even an emperor. He would gladly throw all of that away for this to last.

Eddy was a sight to behold. From a distance he was easily distinguishable it was his son. When the baby stared back at him though, it was with his mother's eyes. The tips of Eddy's black curls brimming with a slight orange tint showing in the sunlight.

The sun now fully rose basking the land in a stunning glow.

The trio turned silently to look at the beautiful view they had before them. Luffy with his arm around Nami's waist where it belonged.

Taking another glance he noticed his Nami resting on his shoulder. Eddy had quickly fallen back asleep. He laughed to himself, babies amused him.

"Luffy..." Nami said breaking him from his trance. He looks down at her to see her inching towards his lips. He closed his eyes to return it wholeheartedly.

"Luffy wake up." Nami said softly.

The rubber man rose an eyebrow backing up a little. "I am awake." He laughed.

Leaning in to kiss her again. She repeated.

"Luffy wake up."

As soon as she said that the blinding light that brought him in suddenly took him back. He was totally blind, Nami and Eddy disappearing right before his eyes.

"Luffy wake up." Sabo said poking a finger to Luffy's forehead.

"Luffy wa-" the blonde man was met with Luffy's forehead smashing into his chin knocking him off his chair.

Luffy quickly sat up out of breath rubbing his forehead. Seeing Sabo knocked over laid out on the floor he grew angry.

"Why'd you hit me Sabo?" Luffy screamed still rubbing the fresh welt on his head.

"You jackass! You hit me in the chin!" Sabo yelled comically getting in his brother's face.

"Oh my bad, you have a hard chin." Luffy said causing Sabo to hit him in the head back causing another welt.

"You idiot, Now were even." Sabo sat back in his chair.

"So.. uh.." Sabo coughed loudly while Luffy was busy rubbing his sore skull. "What were you dreaming about?" Sabo asks a curious smile on his face.

This caught Luffy by surprise.

"It was uh..nothing." Luffy said quickly looking away trying to change the subject. It all seemed too surreal as if it just happened seconds ago.

"You can drop the clueless act. I heard every word." Sabo said crossing his arms before continuing, "you were saying Nami and Eddy I love you. Just who in the hell is eddy? Your not two timing Nami are you?" Luffy could feel the anger rising from his brother.

Seeing as it was Sabo, he knew he could confide in his relative.

"Hell no! Eddy was...my son." Luffy said with a fondness remembering the newborn he held in arms. It felt like mere seconds ago he was holding his son safely in his arms.

Sabo just began to laugh loud slapping his knee hunching over in his chair tears threatening to spill out.

"Come on Luffy! Do you even know where to put it?" Sabo said teasing his younger brother. The blonde man continued his laughter.

"Of course I know where to put it." Luffy said a little irritated for the lack of understanding. Seeing Luffy's solemn expression he suddenly stopped.

"Woah man, you're serious aren't you?"

Sabo knew his brother needed him right now. He was a spy, assassin, freedom fighter, yet none of that experience prepared him for this conversation. This was definitely not his area of expertise. But he vowed to be a better brother than anything he could ever accomplish in life.

"Tell me about it brother. Let's hear it." Sabo said looking at Luffy to let him know he was serious.

Luffy gave an understanding nod.

"It didn't feel like a dream..it felt so real. I don't know how to explain it but I think it was a vision."

Sabo listened intently his hat covering his eyes to gather his thoughts. He has heard of the phenomenon reported before. It was possible, but the cause was still unknown. The visions were also known to be random, the only common thread Koala found In cases like this it only seemed to effect people with the name D in their name. He would need to keep an eye on this.

"Well if anything Luffy, I wouldn't let it worry too much it could be a good sign. If that's what you dreamed about then you should make it happen."

Luffy was starting to nod his head approvingly at his brother's advice. He shouldn't let it worry him too much. All he knew was too keep this too himself.

"Thanks Sabo, appreciate the advice." Luffy said a slight grin on his face, the memories still fresh in his mind. He desperately wanted it to be real. Sabo said he should make happen if that's what he wanted. Luffy was truly blessed to have a brother like Sabo, he was the only one he could confide in about this at the moment. Telling Nami was out of the question, he wasn't that foolish.

"By the way, your navigator worked pretty hard to fix this up, you should thank her when you get the chance." Sabo spoke handing Luffy his straw hat.

"My hat!" The captain was excited to see his unscathed hat. It looked brand new if not better. He would defiantly have to thank Nami later, he was more than grateful.

Letting out a sign knowing his brother was back to being content he became serious.

"Well, right back to it then eh brother?" Sabo said crossing one leg over the other. There was no reset for the weary, It was about time to get down to business. Despite loving to chat with Luffy, he was here on orders, he had a job to do, at least at first.

"What do you need brother? I owe you for Blackbeard.. so anything you need, I'll be more than willing to help." Luffy said with a seriousness that brought a satisfied smirk to Sabo's face.

It was exactly what the second in command of the revolutionary army wanted to hear. Remembering Dragon's words, Luffy was the key to taking down the corrupt organizations that governed the world in the name of their justice.

"Dragon asks that you be by his side and stand with us when we take down The holy city that houses the five elders." The revolutionary army would be moving within the next month and a half they needed to move within the next month. It would take no less than that to gather all the resources from the world to launch a full scale assault. Luffy needed time to be at full strength, a month would do nicely.

Luffy remembered the map Nami showed him a few weeks earlier. The holy capital city Mariejois located near the center of the world. He figured that would be one of the last places on earth to go. But if his brother and father needed him he would not deny them.

"What about my crew?" Luffy asks concern lacing his tone.

"They will be safe, we can protect them at our base if you wish them to stay out of it." Sabo said simply. If Luffy wished they would be kept out of harms way and protected without question.

"That's all I ask." The rubber man says looking towards the ceiling.

A knock at the door interrupting the two brothers, it was Trafalgar.

Greeting the two brothers the surgeon of Death pulled up a chair as well.

"Your finally up Luffy-ya, your crew is worried about you." Law said causing Luffy to sit up straight.

"I'm fine now been through worse." Luffy said shrugging. "I need to get back on my feet.

Law and Sabo grabbed each of his hands jerking Luffy out of bed so he landed on his feet. He felt wobbly at first before quickly recovering.

"Let's go back to my ship to discuss this in more detail, privately." Luffy says heading for the door.

"WAIT YOU IDIOT!" Sabo and Law both screamed watching the captain walk out into the hallway with the back half of his hospital gown blowing in the breeze. Screaming could be heard coming from the hallway causing a panic.

"YOU MORON!" The two men yelled chasing the Luffy into the hallway at light speed.

Once Luffy was fully dressed, the three men returned to the Sunny. The ship was dead silent, the crew was probably getting some well deserved rest.

Zoro yawned loudly causing the trio to jump out of their shoes. They didn't even notice they nearly stepped on the swordsman, who fell asleep in the middle of deck. Now fully awake the swordsman greeted the trio.

"Oi Captain good to see you on your feet. Sabo. Tra-guy." Zoro said confident he got all the names right.

Law was busy fuming steam rolling out of his ears. Sabo was even starting to sweat from the heat emitting from the Surgeon of Death.

"My mistake, Traffie." Zoro spoke rubbing the back of his neck nonchalantly.

Law calmed down somewhat, he swore he couldn't take that nickname shit much more.

The quadruplets silently made their way to the library. In the entirety of the sunny there was probably no place that was more impressive then the Observation Room or as Luffy liked to call it, the book room.

Sabo and Law were impressed with the sheer amount of books, admiring the overall scope of the room. On the outside you couldn't tell an impressive room like this was on the ship.

Luffy and Sabo sat on the side of the table closest to the windows, while the latter sat in the chairs opposite of the two.

After a few moments of silence Luffy spoke. "I just want to say I appreciate you guys helping me bring down Blackbeard yesterday. No one was sad to see that bastard go, but we all know it had to be done. We do what we have to do to survive and go from there."

The three men let the captain's opening remarks settle before the Samurai uncorked his bottle of sake chugging loudly.

"I'll drink to that shit captain. He was scum, you did what you had too, we all would've died otherwise." Zoro said chugging the sake once again.

Law contemplated the swordsman's comments. Though Blackbeard was a monster it would've been nice to have him as a prisoner. Despite the victory, the Surgeon of Death wanted to find out how exactly he had obtained the power of two devil fruit. He tried to collect the corpse only to be stopped by the Revolutionary Army, who took the body into their custody. Law did not have the strength nor the men to fight them, even if he did it would be pointless, they were not his enemies. He still had one thing left; the mysterious fruit Blackbeard was after.

Sabo still wasn't sure about how Luffy would handle killing his first man directly with his bare hands. The way he died was truly deserving for a son of a bitch like Teach. However the brutality that his brother showed combined with his brute strength would scare people, many people. The World Press headlines would surely try to make it so Luffy would be depicted as a monster. His brother always said he wasn't a hero . He wasn't a ruthless killer either. Sabo chalked it up as an anomaly but time would only tell.

"I still have that devil fruit that bastard was after." Law said pulling a moderate sized chest out of his coat.

He placed the wooden box on the table opening the top to reveal a large jet black fruit with cerulean blue patterns and small light particles swirling inside the otherworldly looking fruit.

"What is this fruit? It doesn't look like any fruit devil fruit I've seen." Zoro said a look of awe on his features.

Zoro handed the bottle to Sabo who took a long chug from jug of alcohol. The head rush suddenly throwing his balance.

"I've never seen anything like this before it's amazing. I can't recall seeing this in any known records we have on devil fruits." Sabo says burping loudly.

"Room." The bottle quickly goes to Law who takes a drink slowly before chugging his share.

"Damn good stuff swordsman-ya." Law said regarding the fruit as a hinderance. He had no reason to have it in his possession. It would go to waste in his hands, and it was a pain in the ass when hostile factions came after it relentlessly.

"You should take this fruit Luffy-ya. It's only hypothetical, but if you take this fruit it could give you the power to kill Kaido." Law said perking up a bit taking another swig.

"Yeah or it could overload your system and you explode like the other million idiots that tried it. Don't be idiot number one million and one captain." The vice captain spoke pulling out another bottle of alcohol out of his shirt; it looked stronger than Sake.

Zoro lightly sipped the new exquisite looking bottle before handing it to the Revolutionary Chief of Staff.

Sabo drank a few gulps greedily before nearly choking out the drink. It was defiantly much stronger than Sake. The blonde man passed the bottle to Luffy.

"You may have a point Zoro. Blackbeard even said he didn't know how he survived the process of absorbing the two devil fruits he obtained. To your point though Law, he did say this fruit would grant me the power to take Kaido down and without it we're all fucked." Said Luffy taking a large gulp from the bottle like he did from the Sake. His vision began to blur and he knew he was starting to feel extremely buzzed. Luffy handed the bottle to the Surgeon of Death who continued drinking from both bottles at the same time.

This pissed off samurai showed off his scariest devil face yet.

"Oi Tra-guy! Ever heard of sip,sip pass." Zoro screams smacking the back of his head causing his hat to fall on the table.

"Call me that one more time!" The surgeon challenged gripping his sword.

"Tra-Guy! Tra- Guy! TRA-GUY!" The swordsman grips his swords, the two shooting electric towards one another.

All Luffy and Sabo could do was laugh loudly in a drunken haze at the antics. It was like they weren't even fighting in a war. It was enjoyable to keep it light hearted, especially after a major victory like they shared yesterday. You were just living one moment to the next as a pirate taking it one day at a time, might as well enjoy it.

Zoro and Law joined in the laughter breaking across the table. The four men completely forgetting about the devil fruit in front of them. At this point there wasn't much to do about it. The fruit was a complete mystery, it's origin unknown. There was one thing they knew about it, it was a special hybrid other than that it was a mystery.

"So whad'ya say Luffy-ya? Take the devil fruit ya.." Law said throwing the chest into Luffy's lap before drinking more from his bottles.

"Now that business is done, its time to get down to it." The surgeon spoke putting his cap back on. Within a few moments Trafalgar transported a few bottles from his personal stash to the table, along with a nice supply cigars and a deck of cards.

"Alright your officially Trafalgar in my book!" Zoro said with shiny stars in his eyes.

With a satisfied smirk Law began handing out the assorted goods. Each of the three men taking their items. Sabo was relieved to get a well placed Cigar. It proved nearly impossible to find good tobacco in the Revolutionary Army due to limited resources. Any form of tobacco was considered a wasted resource. Not wasting anytime he quickly lit the other's cigars as well.

While the three eldest men in the room happily puffed away on their cigars Luffy was busy staring at his. He had seen many others smoke before with some having a need for it more than others. The rubber man didn't see a need for it, if anything he felt it was a hinderance. Then again it wasn't like he was a chainsmoker like Sanji or the vice admiral Smoker. He never seen Sabo, Zoro, or Law smoke cigars before either so he figured it couldn't hurt when the occasion called for it.

Finally taking puffing on the harsh cigar Luffy began to cough lightly causing chuckles to break out among the table.

"Oi captain smoking a cigar huh? Now you're a real man."

"Almost." Sabo adds snickering into his hand while trying to grip his cigar.

Law was trying to hold in a laugh while shuffling the cards with his ability. The surgeon had a close knit unit among his crew; a true family. However this was different, he was here with two fellow supernovas, and the number two in the revolutionary army. It was truly an alliance of power. When the four individuals combine their forces together it was an amazing sight to see. There was an incredible respect Law felt for the three other men among the table, his equals. He felt right at home, the only others he'd opened up to like this was his crew. It was relieving to find others he could be content around, real brothers in arms. Satisfied with the shuffle Law began distributing the cards out evenly.

The card game soon got under way with everyone placing their bets puffing away at their cigars while enjoying Law's potent alcohol.

It was a simple card game. Five cards were distributed evenly, one card at a time, face up, and the highest hand takes the pot. There were no drawing cards or any betting.

As the rounds passed Luffy began racking up more beri than he'd thought. Zoro was drawing all no pairs and two pair, he started to think Law rigged the game claiming the dealer was bullshitting him.

There was something about alcohol and tobacco that got Luffy feeling like he couldn't be stopped. This new feeling was relaxing he was wondering if he should do this once more before the day's out.

Law and Sabo were eliminated from the next round and it was down to Zoro and Luffy. The two card hands laid on the table for all to see.

"HA! Four of a Kind! Well I guess that's that captain." Zoro said reaching for the large pile of Beri. The win would do nicely for his sake habits.

"Hold up Zoro.." Sabo stated stopping the pile of money in the center of the table.

"Huh?" Zoro questioned looking over at Luffy's cards.

"It's a miracle..." Law said astonished at the straw hat captain's hand.

The cards read a strait flush, a ten, nine, eight, seven, six of hearts. Luffy was too drunk and light headed to really notice he hit the jackpot.

"I-uh..I Won? I won right? Oi I won! Appreciate the meat money boys. Shishi" Luffy said holding up a peace sign with his signature grin taking all his massive winnings.

Zoro slumped on the table in mourning. He had just lost the jackpot after having it in his grasp. Tears comically flowing from his eyes. "Luffy you better buy more Saki with that, we're almost out."

He was right the Bottles were piled scattered along the table mostly empty. Their cigars nearly finished the smoke still filling the room, it was nearly impossible to see the person parallel to you.

"We should- uh- get more." Sabo said slightly burping.

"Good lets..." Luffy passed out for a couple seconds before reawakening. "Get to the kitchen." The captain hiccuped.

"Agreed." Law said simply glancing at the swordsman who was just groaning face down on the table.

"Less talk, more alcohol!" Zoro demanded slamming his fist on the table heavily inebriated.

"Oh Alright let's-" Luffy was interrupted by a pair of footsteps approaching the door, voices as well. It sounded like Robin and Nami.

"I'll be right out just need to pick something up.." Nami's voice came through the door.

Nami stepped into the room seeing the smoke she immediately coughed trying to get as much as she could out the door. Assuming the worst she began to move inside the room looking for the source of the smoke. The navigator just hoped it wasn't a fire or something as ridiculous as that sounded. It was the library however, this place contained her life's work, she had a right to be concerned.

She soon discovered the source of the smoke multiple voices could be heard.

"Luffy" Nami called quickly reaching the table. She was greeted by the four men drinking from their own bottles puffing away at their cigars. The others it didn't surprise her but here was Luffy just hours out of the med bay and he was living like nothing happened. She was relieved to see him like this but it was soon replaced by anger.

"Oi Nami, nice to.. see ya shishi." The captain said slurring slightly.

"Wow are you seriously this drunk right now?" Nami asked a slight frown appeared.

"N-Noo.. just a little bit." Luffy hiccuped trying to keep his words together.

She couldn't help but admit he was kinda of cute drunk off his ass. She wouldn't mind frenching him if it had only been just the two of them in the room.

"How's it going navigator?" Law said with indifference.

" Good to see you again miss Nami." Said Sabo burping while tilting his hat towards the orange haired woman.

"Oi witch, beat it."

Nami's fist clenched at her sides shaking profusely.

"Luffy..." She said softly.

"Hm.. what's up Nami?" Luffy asked a drunken smile on his face.

"What are you doing...SMOKING IN THE LIBRARY!" Her voice rang out as her fist came crashing down on his head causing him to fall onto the ground in a daze.

"I-I'm really sorry." Luffy said struggling to one knee.

" Open the windows at least you guys jeez." The navigator said unlatching all the windows allowing the smoke to clear out in a matter of seconds.

It was a relief to the four men as they could finally see the entirety of the room once again. The large tobacco cloud had them feeling like they were in the clouds. Mixed with the potent alcohol it was a mix for a great time.

"Why would you do something reckless like that?" Nami said putting her hands on her hips. Luffy was barley hearing her, he just wanted to grab her by the waist like he always did and pull her into his lap which he yet too.

"I-uh..didn't mean to..it, we were gambling and drinking so it just happened.." Luffy said hiccuping again which did not go unnoticed by the navigator.

"This isn't a gambling den Luffy, you want to hang out and drink with your friends, fine. Do it outside next time okay?" She scolded causing the other three men to snicker behind their hands.

"I.. won't, Nami I promise.. you can count on me y'know." The captain slurred swaying a bit in his seat.

"You know your going to have to make up for this right?" Nami says sternly causing Luffy to gape.

"W-what uh.. do you have, in mind?" Nami noticing the large nap sack of beri just smiled before answering.

"I bet I can think of something..." Nami whispered a bit seductively reaching across Luffy to grab the money. Her breasts rubbing against against his chest while her arm traveled down his lower abdomen to grab the money. He was heavily intoxicated but he noticed how close the two were. How she was driving him crazy by doing this. The moment lasted a few seconds, but to both it seemed to last minutes. He could hear her breathe hitch and could feel the goosebumps on her skin as she was touching him. It indicated she was just as curious just as if not more curious than him.

Having the money she pulled back whispering in her captain's ear. "All's forgiven." Nami said and with that she blew him a kiss over shoulder, then grabbing what she originally came for. Nami headed for the door swaying her hips as she walked, just the way he loved. Before the doors closed Luffy could see the all to familiar devious smile of Robin.

After the ladies left Luffy turned back to his friends who were staring at him mouths agape not saying a single word. Not even Zoro had made a usual savage smart ass remark had nada.

The three men slowly rested on their hands leaned closer to the rubber man.

"What the hell are you guys looking at me like that for?" Luffy asks taking a swig of the bottle finishing it.

"Tch, you guys need to just fuck already." Zoro noticed the look the others were giving him. "That's right I said it! Luffy you two obviously have it bad for each other, so just do it already."

Sabo coughs loudly taking another sip of his drink. "I hate to admit it but your first mate might be right on this one." Sabo slurred. "It worked for me and Koala, I suggest you do it as soon as possible."

"Luffy-ya, don't listen to these drunken idiots. Just go with flow, and it eventually works out in the end." Law says finishing his drink.

Luffy thought it over again in his head. Maybe he would consider it but would she even want do that with him. Shaking his head he's reached for Zoro's sake bottle, the swordsman nearly hacked his captain's hand off.

"Don't worry Luffy this is all you have to..."

Sabo continued to speak causing the men to stir slightly before they screamed "What?!" Horrified by the advice but slowly accepting it as Luffy began to nod approvingly.

The men only spoke about it a minute longer. Their conversations mainly consisted of Shit talking, talking about shit they might do, and a small amount was dedicated to talking about their significant others. When they did manage to speak on their loved ones it was usually a profound truth; a realization.

A loud horn blaring In the distance broke the huddle up. Were they under attack again? Only one way to find out. The four men wasted no time running outside.

Boa Hancock sailed towards the three vessels she recognized. The largest one, the Revolutionary Army ship dwarfed the other two ships combined.

She recognized the other ship from the conclusion of Marineford. The Polar Tang, had successfully saved Luffy's life and their captain convinced the elders to let him on the Amazon Lily. She was truly grateful to Trafalgar Law for his role in saving her future husband.

Last but not least she spotted the infamous Thousand Sunny docked in between the two vessels. Whistling to her fellow amazons preparing them to disembark on Luffy's ship.

Nami happily placed her earnings into her safe. It was way to easy to steal money from a Luffy especially when he was in that state. She hadn't expected to do that, it was in the spur of the moment. All she went in there for was to get navigational tools she left laying around on her desk. The navigator however ended up teasing the captain in front of the room. At that moment she realized she played herself. Nami only ended up teasing herself, she was starting not to care anymore. Blackbeard nearly ended it all willing to kill everyone to win. It terrified her to think of Luffy falling in battle before she had a chance to tell him how she really felt.

"I gotta say Nami, I didn't think you would actually do it." Robin smiled breaking the younger woman from her thoughts.

"I couldn't resist, not after I saw all those berries." Nami said still slightly drooling over her winnings.

Robin just smiled even more warmly. "Well I'm hardly surprised, you are the cat burglar after all. But it seems you stole more than money this time." The raven haired woman began to lightly chuckle causing Nami to blush slightly.

Before they could continue any further a loud tribal horn could be heard from a distance. The ladies wasted no time heading for the deck expecting another invasion.

Everyone on board the three respective ships could hear the horn. People were starting to panic, running to their respective battle stations. Not in anyones' mind did they ever think they would be invaded just a day after their major battle. Preparing for the worst everyone stood ready to do battle with the now fast approaching ship. When the ship was within distance they suddenly began to disarm themselves. It was the Pirate Empress and her gang of Kuja Pirates and the one thing that was clear they were not a threat. After things relatively calmed down, the moderately sized serpent vessel descended towards the Sunny.

Boa and her Kuja Pirates were a fearsome bunch. She may have seceded from the Navy alliance thus vacating her title as a Warlord of the sea but that did not mean she was any less powerful than before.

The Empress and Elder Nyon were the only representatives of the arriving vessel to disembark leaving behind her crew.

The two amazons arrived gracefully on the front of the ship looking around in all directions.

Luffy and the others gathered around on the back half of the ship to see the commotion.

"Hancock? What's she doing here?" Luffy asked to no one in particular.

"LUFFY! HAVE YOU ACCEPTED MY MARRIAGE PROPOSAL YET?" Hancock said shouting for all three vessels to hear her declarations of love the straw hat captain.

The crew all were stunned by the sudden appearance as she started running for their captain crushing him in a hug. Lifting up on his feet tossing Luffy around like a rag doll.

"Good to see you too Hancock..uh..too tight can't breath." Luffy said falling to the ground in daze. He swore his back was permanently disfigured.

" Its great to see you my husband." Hancock said as she examined the crew she towered above the two women that she hasn't failed to notice with a scowl.

"Shall we get married here and now in front of your crew? It would be perfect." The Empress clearly in haze of lust.

Elder Nyon bonks her Empress on the leg to break her out of it.

"Oh behave." The elder snapped causing Boa to straighten up. "We are here for an actual reason Empress."

"Yes well..may we speak in private Luffy?" She was inwardly screaming at the thought of it.

"Yes Luffy, we have urgent matters to discuss." The elder spoke tapping her cane on the deck to emphasize her point.

"Yeah Sure!" Luffy said sporting his usual grin. "First let me introduce you guys to my crew!"

"This is Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Franky, Brook.." Hancock had no reaction. "Nami...Robin.." the Empress immediately sized up the two women in front of her. They were not backing down in their own right, the tension was building.

Before Luffy's entrance into Impel Down, Hancock had to chance to speak briefly with him about his crew. She was curious to know if there were any women on board. Sure enough the moment he said their names, she vowed not to lose to either of them.

Over the past two years she had remembered their names well. Hancock knew very well who Nico Robin was. It didn't strike her that someone as reserved as the former demon child would take an interest in someone who had such a free spirit. She didn't feel the tension coming from the archeologist at all. Robin just greeted her with a warm smile with a hint of amusement.

The tall Empress turned her attention to the Orange haired navigator locking eyes. The tension felt returned ten fold, the navigator not backing down an inch. Luffy and the others didn't fail to notice, none of them dared to move an inch.

At that moment The Empress has found her rival she'd been preparing for the past two years. Hancock knew Nami was no match for her looks despite being very beautiful herself. No one has ever resisted Hancock before,except Luffy.

Nami did not feel threatened even by a former warlord. She could already tell Hancock was not going to back down as well. It did make her a little self conscious to think of the time Luffy spent with her during his time on Amazon Lily. She wasn't outright jealous but she knew this woman had her own intentions for Luffy. Knowing how innocent her captain was; she wanted to protect him from her.

Before things could escalate Luffy intervened catching the two gorgeous women off guard. "We can speak in the library, Empress, Elder." Luffy said nodding, giving a quick glance toward his navigator.

"Oh yes Luffy then we can discuss our marriage proposal." Hancock said causing a vein to grow on Nami's forehead. She wanted to yell in this woman's face and tell her to leave. But she was here for a good reason, they needed to be political right now. Involving her personal feelings towards the Empress would only complicate matters.

"I already said I'm not marrying you shishi." The captain laughed heading toward the library, gesturing his guests to follow him. "Sabo let's go."

Boa could only grow an irritated vein on her forehead. A slight smirk came over Nami's features, a small battle in mind had been won.

Noticing this Hancock just turned her nose up following the two brothers with Elder Nyon in tow. "Very well, we shall take it slow my love." She said turning with a smile towards Nami before heading off.

Nami could just frown slightly as the Empress passed her. The two rivals sizing each other up one more time. The navigator had to admit her reputation proceeds her.

When the Strawhats minus Luffy were left on the deck Usopp broke the silence. "Well if that wasn't awkward, I don't know what is anymore."

The first thing on Nami's wondered why Luffy had never brought up the marriage thing to anyone. She didn't know why it was bothering her so much for that woman throwing herself onto him and trying to claim he was her lover. Her fists were starting to clench as she remembered the time she spent with her beloved captain in the library.

Robin was curious if Luffy would actually go through with. It would make sense politically and give him Amazon Lily territory as a yonko. But Robin cared about Luffy's well being. It was no different from any of her friends. She had a really good hunch about what made Nami happy.

Before they were separated at Sabaody it was hard to tell. They were close already before but right before the separation was where she noticed a change. Her theory so far proved to be right when they reunited. When they were together she always wanted to be by his side. If they were on occasion distanced she always was adamant he go with a group not knowing where he'd run off too if they left him alone. She did know they cared for each other more than the others but still it was only a hunch; a very good one at that.

"Did you guys.." Sanji lights a cigarette taking a few puffs before continuing, " SEE HOW GORGEOUS SHE WAS!" Sanji was waving comically flailing his arms. "We have to go get on that Amazon ship! NOW!" He yelled preparing to jet over like he had a coup de burst on his back. Blood continued to spurt out his nose as Usopp, Zoro, and Chopper held the chef back.

Brook not willing to miss out on chance to catch a glimpse of Amazonian panties began running towards the ship, only to be caught by the trio.

"Let me through I say, I need to see the panties!" Brook yelled blood jetting out his nose.

"Brook did you say..." Sanji froze suddenly his soul left his body. The sea breeze carrying his soul higher and higher, in the atmosphere till the sunny was long out of sight. The chef slowly glided in the clouds. He swore he died and went to heaven. The clouds opened up to reveal Amazons only in their panties, it was too much for him. The cook soul's shot back down to earth screaming bloody murder, blood sprouting from his nose as he fell at the speed of light into his body landing on the Sunny suddenly resurrecting himself.

"AMAZONIAN PANTIES!" Sanji screams so loud that it could be heard across all the ships.

"Let us go, Let us go-" The two perverts were interrupted by a flurry of multiples punches to their faces causing massive bumps all over.

"I swear you guys are such perverts. Can't you just calm your asses down for like five damn minutes?" Nami said obviously not expecting an answer back, they would be out for awhile.

"Thanks Nami, Wow they got me really tired, I think I'm going to sleep." Chopper yawned the reindeer suddenly sleepy climbing on top of Zoro's stomach who was already snoring loudly. Usopp quickly tried to get up before falling back down.

"Yup I'm out." He said before snoring loudly as well.

Nami sweat drops at the shenanigans of her crew. She was surrounded by a bunch of idiots, but the biggest idiot.

'Luffy' her mind drifting to what the conversation in the library was about.

"Nami. You have that look on your face." Robin chuckles pointing to the younger woman's expression.

"What look?" Nami asked a little cluelessly not knowing what her friend meant.

"It's the face you make when your mind is occupied by our captain, ms. navigator." Robin said smiling warmly. Nami was convinced she was still that same demon child at heart. Her friend could be really helpful sometimes and at times irrefutably childish.

Nami didn't know what to say she was still flushed over Robin's comment. She couldn't help but feel reassured as she remembered Luffy's "I'll never marry you comment." Emphasis on the never. She wouldn't let it happen, not after all they went through. Not after the way Luffy kissed her, there's no way he could want to be with anyone else after that, or he was a deadman. A crimson color filled the navigator's cheeks causing Robin break in a fit of giggles.

"There's no mistaking it, your really thinking about him now." Robin said teasing the navigator even more.

"Jeez woman are you really the devil or what?! Nami shouted causing Robin to giggle even more.

Franky entered the conversation not wanting to walk in on an awkward moment.

"So what do you think they came here for? Amazon Lilys a long ways away for a marriage proposal, that easily be sent in a letter." Franky said catching the attention of straw hat ladies.

Robin contemplates before answering, "I heard she ended her treaty with the navy, and had her title of warlord stripped."

"Oh I see." Nami said, putting her hand to her chin. "They need protection from the navy and are probably looking for an alliance. If It's true she ended her treaty the navy will label Amazon Lily as a threat and will eventually be eliminated." The navigator finished. It all made sense, they were asking them for protection. She knew Luffy would readily accept this and it made her heart twinge at the thought of him leaving to go there. If that was the case they all had to go, no exceptions.

"Nami, you're doing it again." Robin practically sang.

"We would be most grateful if you join us in an alliance Luffy. We came to ask for your help when the time comes, if you will fight for us?" Elder Nyon.

With hesitation Luffy gave his answer. "We'd be happy to help you guys out. On one condition; should the day come for your assistance, I need it without question." Luffy said crossing his arms. He needed a way to get Amazon Lily on his side. Their crew was worth at the least two billion beli in totality, earning respect among the world for their fighting prowess, they could be major players in the upcoming battles.

"There's no rush, you guys can give your answer later. We won't be heading out until tomorrow morning, so you'll have until then." Sabo added hoping the Amazon didn't feel pressured to do anything. It didn't surprise him they were here they needed protection that much was obvious. He knew there was no way Luffy would turn away a friend in need, especially when he owed them one for saving his life.

"You have our word." Both the Amazons were in agreement. Should he ever need them they would join him in his crusade. In return he would defend them from an invasion should one ever occur. The new treaty was settled, Amazon Lily was now an official member of the Strawhat-led alliance.

"Then it's settled then, I'm glad we could come to terms so easily shishi." The straw hat captain laughed leaning back resting his hands behind his head.

Hancock seeing this as her chance to ask what she really came for excused the other two guest from the library.

"Elder Nyon, Luffy's brother may I have a word with Luffy alone?" The Empress asked a hint of nervousness in her usually collected demeanor.

Sabo stood up offering his arm to the Elder with a smile. "Would you like to accompany to the kitchen to get tea, Elder Nyon?" The blonde man asked pulling the elder short lady to his side.

"Oh my, I didn't know the revolutionaries were so gentlemanly and handsome at that." The elder said flushed holding onto Sabo's arm tightly.

Sabo sweat dropped a little repulsed by the comment but he was a professional.

"Well I'm just glad we come come to an agreement. Shall we?" Sabo said as the two turned to exit the Library.

Luffy saw the look Sabo his brother gave him as he exited the library. It was easy to see he wanted to stay to see what the two would discuss. He hoped Luffy would be mature enough to handle a situation like this. Talking about a treaty that posed no threat was one thing, talking about marriage was entirely different.

Once the room was empty it was just Luffy and Hancock sitting there silently not saying a word. Luffy studied the expression on the Empress's expression. Her eyes were on table in front of them avoiding his gaze.

Luffy finally grew impatient breaking the awkward silence. "Look if it's about marrying you I already-."

"I know." She cut him off finally meeting his eyes. "Now tell me why your refusing me? You owe me that much Luffy, what does that girl out there mean to you?" Hancock said questioning the captain forcefully.

Luffy didn't seem to understand what she talking about or was at least making it seem that. He wasn't exactly comfortable with this conversation nor was he fond of explaining himself, especially when he felt had no obligation too.

"I don't know who your talking about.. are you talking about Nami and Robin?" Luffy asked playing it dumb.

"You know who and what I'm talking about Luffy. She stared me down on my way in here. Now tell me!" She demanded causing Luffy to drop the carefree attitude, his hands dropped from behind his head.

" She's the navigator of my crew. She's a really good friend of mine, I care for her, just like I do all of my friends." Luffy stated. He wasn't lying, it was true he did care for her and all his friends. To say equally would be a bit of a rubber stretch. Each of the Straw hats had their own unique interactions and experiences with one another. There dynamic had changed over the last years and still constantly changing. Thinking back to a few weeks ago about the night the two shared. It was hard to say where they stood, there was really never a time and place for things like this during war. Yet, here the Empress stood asking him of his relationship with his navigator. She couldn't even ask if he was hungry, it somewhat irritated him.

Hancock heard none of his nonsensical answer. All she heard was "I care for her" the words continued to play in her mind causing her to snap.

"You care for her?! Do you even know what that is?" Hancock said trying to calm her nerves. Luffy did not have any outward reaction toward her outburst.

The captain was really starting to get uncomfortable now. He did not feel obligated to speak on anything he didn't have to.

"No Hancock, why do you care?" Luffy asked curiously. It was obvious Boa was infatuated with him but he wasn't sure why she cared so damn much.

Hancock was appalled the way Luffy had spoken to her. She would be offended had she'd not known who he was. Knowing that he was growing up, she would answer him as best she could.

"Luffy I care for you because... I just love you so much." The Empress said dancing happily with a blush.

The captain was more confused right now than he's ever been. She didn't answer his question in the slightest.

"That's what I mean Hancock, why do you love me? Your an Empress, you could have anyone, why me?"

Hancock thought in contemplation before answering. "You were the first man to ever resist my mero mero beam, the first man that could see past my beauty and know my true self. When you punched that celestial dragon, it reminded when I was a slave and how many times I wanted to do that but couldn't. I always admired your spirit Luffy, that is why this is why we are destined to marry." Hancock still could see no reaction from Luffy he was nonchalant about it. It started to frustrate her to no end.

"Hancock, I do care for you." The Empress bounces happily up and down. "But we can only be friends, and I think you already know that." Boa immediately halts her celebration at Luffy's words. "There was a reason your Mero Mero did not work on me, because my heart belongs to another and I think you know that too." Luffy said nonchalantly meaning he was completely serious.

Hancock couldn't help but feel a little ashamed at her actions. She came barging into his home asking for his hand in marriage only for him to tell her his heart belonged to another. She somehow could see this coming even when they first met. The moment he mentioned he had woman onboard his ship she knew it was all too possible. Boa experienced enough life to see it coming; she'd be a fool not too.

Boa's bangs slowly slid over her eyes before she sat down.

"Just answer me this Luffy, do you love her?"

Luffy knew that question would pop up sooner or later. He had to answer honestly and thoughtfully.

"I don't love her the way you love me, but in my own special way, yeah I do." Luffy said causing Hancock to slightly smirk. If there was one thing with Luffy is that he was impossible to read, but also impossible for him to lie. It must be that he truly does love her. Judging by the way she sized up the Empress earlier, she had a pretty good guess she felt the same.

Luffy held out his hand for her to take, so she did. Helping her to feet he pulled her into a hug causing her to lightly blush.

"I'm glad we're friends, and I'm grateful for having known you." Luffy said thanking the woman he'd known for only a short time.

"I'm glad we are friends too, Luffy. So glad." The Empress said hugging the captain tighter. She truly was, as long as she could Luffy in her life in some way, she had purpose.

"Okay, okay.. too tight again." Luffy wheezed being dropped the floor like a deflated balloon.

"Now how about we celebrate with a feast to celebrate you and your allies victory against Blackbeard." The Empress said with a warm smile.

For the first time Luffy felt he truly was meeting the true Boa Hancock. Aside from when he first met her this was the start of the first real conversation they had; it was nice.

"A FEAST!" The captain was in complete bliss thinking of all the food that was going to serve. If there was one thing he did love about Hancock it was her endless supply of food.

"It won't be ready until later this evening, but you are welcome to bring everyone." Hancock said walking with Luffy toward the doubles doors.

"Alright sounds good to me. I'll spread the word." The captain smirked. Something was different about Hancock and he wasn't sure how. In a matter of a few minutes it was like a completely different person towards him. It was refreshing, he thought it could grow on him.

Franky, Robin, and Nami patiently waited for the meeting between the two to end. After a few minutes the pair emerged with Luffy making the Empress laugh lightly behind her hand while he couldn't help but chuckle about what he just said.

"Well we certainly look forward to hosting you and your allies Luffy. Until then."

The Empress began to leave but not before turning to look at Nami, who still had the same intense look she previously held before the meeting. Hancock warmly smiled at the navigator before dropping her head in defeat;she was amused. She thought if it were any else other than Luffy, they would've jumped ship to her in no time. 'Lucky bitch'

Nami didn't know what the hell just happened. First Boa glared her down and stuck her nose up at her when she first went in. Now she was smiling at her with a somewhat satisfied expression. Revealing nothing more Nami watched the Empress pull Elder Nyon away from Sabo back to her ship, she wasn't sad to see her go. She knew she won. 'Serves you right bitch'

Franky was busy talking to Luffy about the alliance and the details should Amazon Lily ever be in danger. In exchange for warriors the straw hats and their allies would defend the island without hesitation.

Sabo walked up to the pair who were now joined by Nami and Robin.

"Wow brother, those Amazon women are something, that Elder Nyon couldn't keep her hands off me." Sabo said a little to proudly.

"That's not a good thing." Luffy simply added causing the group to laugh out loud.

"I agree with Luffy, Sabo-bro, it's not a brag." The cyborg laughed louder causing the rest of the crew to wake up and join the others.

"Dammit Franky quit laughing like a damn school girl, what the hells so funny anyway?" Zoro said sounding irritated about his slumber being disturbed.

"Sabo's bragging about that Elder lady throwing herself at him." Luffy spoke resting his hands behind his head.

"HA! That old bitch! Man you revolutionaries sure got some fucked up taste." The swordsman continued to laugh until he realized the crew left. It was only Nami and Robin slowly making their way over to him. Dark Aura surrounding them as they approached him, continuing to swirl around their fists.

They spoke as one. "Zoro... you used that word.." The two ladies said demonically.

Zoro gulped. "Y-Yeah I said revolutionaries." The swordsman said desperately trying to get out of whatever this scary shit was.

There was no getting out of this. He had no choice. Putting his hands on his hilts defensively he started yelling. "Back off! I'll-" He was cut off by two first swinging him sending him off the ship out in the

distance.

"LEARN SOME MANNERS BASTARD!" The two straw hat women yelled seeing the samurai fly off in the distance. A faint apology could be heard.

The rest of the crew began to emerge from their hiding spots.

Luffy was hiding securely behind Franky, the two men terrified of what Robin and Nami just did to the second strongest member of the crew.

Franky gulped before turning to Luffy. "I hope you learned something from that just now Luffy."

"Y-Yeah I did. Your girlfriend is scary as hell Franky." Luffy said still shaking from what the ladies did to his first mate.

"You and me both Luffy bro." Franky said not turning to look at his captain. This made Luffy's heart twinge slightly. Is that how Franky saw it? Did the whole crew know? Was he that obvious. He hardly spoken to Nami in the past weeks unless it was about strategy or navigation. Ever since the library they kept things calm, right now he wasn't so sure she was his girlfriend. He did know he wanted to change that.

"Elder Nyon? The Amazon..?" Sanji was currently recovering from his beating with Brook cracking open a fresh pack of cigarettes. He was still trying to figure out who she was.

"Nooo! She can't be an Amazon!" The chef yelled running over puking his lunch out in the sea. " she can't be.." he continued to throw up.

"I would prefer," Brook took a sip of tea before continuing, "not to see her panties."

This caused the chef to hurl even harder. Usopp was patting the hell out of Sanji's back making sure he got all of it out.

"Okay guys! Seriously stop talking about this, we got two men down here!" The marksman yelled.

Zoro climbed on board his sword in hand. The crew immediately covered their noses, the swordsman reeked.

"You nasty, shitty chef. I'm going to cut you and cook you in your grill for throwing up on me!" Zoro said screaming. He took off after the blonde chef catching him by the arm pinning him to the ground.

"Now! Let's play a game called uncle. Ever heard of it?" Zoro asked menacingly.

"No sounds— ah okay! Uncle Dammit!" The chef cried his arm in a slump. He was sure it was dislocated.

"Usopp... hold me down. Because when I get up the swordsman dies." Sanji said half conscious.

The scene brought a smile to the captain's face. It was great the crew was enjoying their time together. Soon they would follow their own paths and hopefully reunite in the not to distant future. It was these moments that made everyday worth living for. The reason why he cared so much, the reason why he protected as tenaciously

as he did.

Out of the corner of his eye he couldn't help but notice Chopper talking to Nami and Robin. He also noticed Robin had her attention on the conversation but caught the look he was throwing their way. She motioned for him to join them.

Usopp seeing his captain head for Robin, Chopper, and Nami he propped an arm under Sanji helping him to his feet.

"Come on let's get you fixed up." Usopp said dragging the half dead chef towards Franky.

"Hey Franky, I forgot to ask.." Usopp pulled Senriku out of his bag. "This belongs to my friend, it's very important to him, can you fix it?"

The cyborg examined the weapon for a moment. "I'll fix this Good as new Usopp bro." He said giving the thumbs up.

"Cool, let me know when your done, I have a few modifications that'll help him out." Usopp said dragging Sanji along with him.

Franky went to meet Robin the two embracing. "I'll be in my workshop, got something to fix up for Usopp's friend." The cyborg went to leave when Robin hung on his arm.

"I'll join you, I don't have anything better to do." Robin said smiling towards the navigator.

"By the way Chopper, I think your needed in the infirmary." Franky spoke slipping his arm around Robin's waist.

The couple waved to the group with Robin throwing her signature devious smile towards the three. They could've sworn she was the devil.

Zoro came by heading the same direction that Franky and Robin went. "Damn shitty cook, I need a three hour shower at least."

Chopper seeing Nami and Luffy chuckling at the swordsman he decided to help his friend out. "Alright Zoro come on I'll help you out before I head to infirmary." Chopper said hurrying to the fleeting swordsman's side.

" Tch, Beat it I don't need your help." Zoro says crossing his arms.

"Can you reach your back?" Chopper asked nonchalantly already knowing the answer.

"Fine! But your using the long brush!"

"Of course, I'm not going to use my hands idiot!" Chopper argued following Zoro into the ship.

Luffy stopped laughing when the pair left. Even Sabo must've slipped away back to his ship during the shenanigans. He was here professionally after all, so he was probably working. He noticed it was now just him and Nami. He still hadn't noticed she was still chuckling.

"Nami..." She could hear her captain's voice break her from her laughing fit.

Luffy stood only a few feet away. It felt much closer to Nami as she slowly moved forward so they were just outside personal space.

"Luffy.." it was spoken so softly by her but he caught it.

He could see it now clearly as he ever had before. It was indeed different between them then everyone else. In his mind he was looking for some doubt to tell him it was no different. That he was hallucinating and they were just captain and navigator. It was only human for the mind to self doubt what it was seeing. But everything in his soul told him there was no doubt and this was like every relationship he had on the sunny, unique and distinct in its own way.

"Hey.." Luffy said simply offering a smile.

"Hey.." Nami returned his gesture.

Luffy rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Man I didn't think she'd actually come here, you'd think a letter would've sufficed huh?" The rubber man said with a laugh.

Nami lightly chuckled. "I was just as surprised as you. But I would've done the same, it was a smart move."

"Yeah people are just jumping on the Bandwagon after my bounty increase and Blackbeard's defeat." Luffy said nonchalantly, it was the only reason why he was in the position he was in now.

"The Empress seemed to have liked you long before that." Nami rolled her eyes a little.

"Yeah she's silly. She asked me to marry her again." Luffy said amused by the Empress's desperate attempts to get him hitched with her.

"What did you say to her?" Nami asked her voice growing agitated.

"No of course. I told her I was happy we were friends." Luffy turning serious.

"That's...Good." Nami was relieved. She feared the worst when he emerged with her laughing like she'd been apart of the crew. She couldn't help but feel possessive of Luffy. Even something as routine like mouth to mouth resuscitation caused her trouble; more specifically jealously and embarrassment. When Renju put her mouth on Luffy's, to save his life from the poisonous fish skin he ate. After that she couldn't get the image out of her mind. Her lips in place of the Miss Poison Pink's claiming Luffy's lips in a passionate kiss. On occasion on the way to Totto Land she would grab her captain's face to see his lips again, bringing the images back. Even when he started yelling when they reached Cake Island she couldn't help but grab his lips possessively, the images still filling her head. Then it finally happened, they had their first kiss in the library a few weeks ago, before the battle. It was anything beyond her imagination, remembering her captain whispering sweet words in her ear while kissing her like she was his.

"I told her th- that uh.." Luffy was stuttering. Nami had to admit it was cute when he was nervous. "I told her we should remain friends because my heart belongs to..someone else." Luffy said the last part quickly hoping she'd get the jest of what he was saying.

Nami was speechless as she held onto her heart hoping it wouldn't fall out of her chest. As far as she could tell it was as close to a confession she might get.

"Nami.." Luffy began nervously. "I care about all my friends, and I try to convince myself it's all the same. But it's not. Nami.." He took a step closer to her causing her breath to hitch. "There's something between us Nami, it's something..unspoken."

Nami knew he was right. Ever since the beginning there was something always different about the two. In her heart even when they were friends, she believed gestures in friendships can be romantic.

The navigator over the years has slowly let Luffy touch her like no one else could.

She remembered when he slowly began to wrap himself around her waistline. Since the beginning to now, he's only grabbed her like that, pulling her hip to hip with him. Letting her know silently that he's always got her. She loved that about Luffy his actions spoke louder than words. Truth was whenever she had Luffy wrapped around her waist is when she felt the safest.

Nami took a step closer to Luffy so they were in each other's personal space. The two were could feel the heat already brewing between them.

"I know Luffy... I've always known, there is something unspoken about this." She said now leaning closer to him.

The feelings from the library were reignited.

"Luffy..." Nami places her hands on his chest causing him to slightly shiver at the contact. "I feel so safe every time you hold me close around my waist." Nami said slightly blushing, trying to focus on his lines of his scar.

"Like this." He says stretching his arm tightly securing her in his arms and pulling her all the way to him. Her forehead now threatening to push back his hat. If he took the hat off they would have already been kissing. The navigator wraps her arms around Luffy's neck to feel his strong shoulders. She always loved his body and took her chances when could to touch him.

Luffy dipped his head slightly so they were nearly nose to nose.

"Luffy..." Nami said letting out a small breathe emphasize her surprise at his sudden forwardness.

"Nami I-" Luffy began nearly reaching Nami's lips with his own. She had her eyes closed ready for him to close the distance.

"Luffy! We have a situation!" Sabo said appearing next to his brother in a dance of flames.

Sabo stopped suddenly now aware of what was happening.

"Woah, my bad I'm interrupting something, I'll just uh.." he stammered.

"It's quite okay Sabo, he'll only be a second." Nami said appearing with a smile.

Sabo turned around hiding his Luffy like smile looking towards the sky. 'Ah Ace we did alright huh?' He thought still chuckling to himself.

Nami was giggling at Luffy's mini rage about being interrupted. He tried to get the moment back unsuccessfully.

"Duty calls Captain." The navigator said with a grin.

"Or it could wait." Luffy responded pulling her back to him.

"You have work to do." She rested her hands on his chest pushing him away lightly as he released her. The moment was really over, and he still was fuming inwardly about it. "Now go Captain." She lightly kissed him on the cheek. Satisfied he turned around but not before he said, " see you later." She just rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah later." With that he chased after his brother Sabo with all his rage for ruining his moment. The older brother couldn't help but laugh telling him to catch him if he could. As the two disappeared on the Revolutionary ship, Nami couldn't help Shake her head at the two brothers. She reflected on what happened. The navigator had to admit she really did have it bad for her captain.

To call the Revolutionary Army's meeting monotonous would be an understatement. Luffy admired Sabo as a field general and a leader, it was obvious he held the respect of the men that followed him. He also admired the men that followed Sabo for staying awake the entire time. The Revolutionary Army had their own language of secrecy, along with intricate codes to signal battle formations or call artillery fire from their ships to assist their ground forces. He could see why they felt ready to usurp the World Government and become the supreme power in the world. The army had a mission statement written above their meeting hall. It read 'Intelligence, Persistence, Confidence.' It hung directly above the front of the large meeting room. As Sabo spoke I. The front of the large lecture room he kept pointing to the sign and repeating the mantra. It impressed the hell out of Luffy. The navy were no where near as disciplined or believed in any high standard principles like these guys did. Unlike the Navy they weren't satisfied with just how things are; they wanted to make life better for everyone. This is one thing Luffy took away from everything out of the hours on end meeting. His job was simple, the army would storm the city creating an opening for him to take down Akainu while the army apprehends the Five Elders. Luffy knew this plan wouldn't fail, and he'd get his revenge on Akainu.

By the time Sabo dismissed his soldiers and the meetings were over; the two made there way to Amazon ship to meet with the Straw Hats and Heart Pirates for the feast. When the two arrived everyone was busy chatting away having a good time. The table covered nearly the entire front of the ship. Straw-hats, Amazon's, and the Heart Pirates were all mixed together throughout the table. Luffy noticed the crew all having a great time. Perhaps no more than Brook and Sanji.

Sanji was currently in between two Amazon warriors drooling over his plate with his signature heart eyes.

"So you ladies, have no men on your island?!" Sanji asked steam flying out his nose like an angry bull.

"No one of them answered it is forbidden." One of them answered. "We've never...been with a man before." The other one added.

Sanji's head started hurting, it was like his brain was thumping. It was like his brain was in pain, it couldn't understand how two babes like this never been with a man.

Blood began to leak of his nose.

"S-So y-you've never been with a man." The chef was about blow. "That's means you both are...are...AAAHHH!" Everyone besides the straw hats reacted extremely to Sanji flying off spitting blood out.

"Should we go after him?" Usopp asked nudging Zoro who was busy challenging a large woman to Sake drinking contest.

"Hell no we should leave him." Zoro said before getting back to his competitive competition.

Luffy saw Franky and Robin in their own little world. He could see the way Franky was making her laugh. He'd seen Robin be amused or have a devious style but she was really laughing not a care in the world. It was so rare of her, the captain was sure no one could make her laugh like that but Franky. Their bond was unique to them, crew mates and partners. Luffy waved to the lovely couple who responded to his gesture with a few raised glasses. He could see Robin point with her eyes further down the table to Chopper and Nami.

Luffy's heart nearly leapt out his throat seeing Nami and Chopper sharing food. The two enjoying their time with the amazons. Nami showed off her unique clima tact to the amazons. The pride she showed talking about the amazons about the battle against Blackbeard. It was mesmerizing and she had her captain's full attention. She wore the back of her hair in bun the front and sides of her hair sticking out along with her bangs. It was similar to the hairstyle she wore during their meeting with Capone Bege. He still hadn't taken his eyes off her, he nearly bumped into amazons. Luffy turned his attention to Chopper who was smirking at him devilishly close to Robin's own. He wondered how long the reindeer had been watching him, he hoped it wasn't too long. Chopper's smirk grew as he began eating again elbowing Nami who had finished recounting her story.

Nami looked over to where Luffy and Sabo were as they were making their way toward the head of the banquet table. She caught his eye and wasn't looking away quickly like before. He was staring directly at her, she could see his mouth slightly agape. Nami started to blush, she wanted to get up to greet when his attention was snatched away.

"LUFFY!" Hancock yelled nearly knocking both brothers off balance breaking his trance.

"Hello Sabo." Elder Nyon's raspy voice called to the two brothers. The two amazons waved them over to them, guiding them to their seats.

Nami couldn't help but feel slighted that they wouldn't be able to interact much.

Chopper was almost too busy eating to notice Nami's slight look of disappointment before he said, "don't worry, your the queen not her." Chopper went back to eating ignoring Nami's questions and threats.

Sabo and Luffy took their seats next to the amazons. The two brothers were lucky to be sandwiched in between the amazons in case things got tricky.

The Revolutionary Army chief could immediately tell the Elder was trying to seduce him.

"Sabo." She cooed, he was trying to hold in a shit load of throw up. Trying to calm down he thought just eat something and relax.

"Here try this Sabo." The elder said holding her fork up to his face.

"Your too kind Elder Nyon-" The elder cut him off.

"Ah Ah Ah, Open wide, its tradition Amazon's feed their guests each a traditional dish of their choice. Now say ahh." Nyon said pushing the fork toward Sabo's face. He reluctantly ate it to find it was delicious.

"Wow this is great Elder Nyon- what is-"

"Bull testicles." Sabo immediately turned green coughing on the table. The feast was so loud and noisy no one but Luffy, Hancock, and Elder Nyon were the only ones to notice.

"Oh Lord-" Sabo was choking on the verge of spilling his guts. "Empress bathroom?!" It was a half question half statement. The powerful woman snapped her fingers and Sabo was quickly led down into the ship.

"Oh the poor dear, I didn't mean to make him sick, I will make sure if he's alright." The elder hurriedly went after blonde commander.

Hancock and Luffy were left alone again. It was silent for a few moments before Luffy broke the silence.

"Hey thanks again for today Hancock, I'm glad we could comes to terms." Luffy said with a friendly smile.

Hancock returned it warmly. "I am as well. I know I can always count on you Luffy." She smiled even more placing her hand on Luffy's shoulder which didn't go unnoticed by Nami.

The Amazon caught where Nami's attention was.

"Is that your boyfriend or something?" The Amazon asked out of the blue causing Nami to nearly spit her drink out. Chopper could only chuckle next to her earning a slight bump on his head.

"He's my captain and I'm the nav-" she started but was interrupted.

"You didn't answer the question. I'm asking because you look like you want to rip the Empress's head off." The Amazon pointed out eating while she talked.

Nami looked over at Luffy who laughed lightly at something Hancock said caused her heart to twitch.

"Look sweetie we may have not men on our island but even I can tell your in love with the guy." The Amazon spoke nonchalantly starting to stuff her face and asking for more drinks like this was everyday conversation.

"I-It's complicated." Nami simply said.

"Humph, well if it's like that you'd better watch out. There's a reason Boa Hancock is known as the Snake Empress, anything she gets in her grasp she devours." The Amazon said not stopping to wipe her face as she started another plate.

Nami looked over to see Luffy now laughing hard now and the Empress as well. They were both looking like they were enjoying their time together. A trickle of doubt began to creep into Nami's mind. What if he decided to change his mind and end up marrying her. She tried to replay the moments they shared and the look he gave her before sitting down. All she could she was the two talking in causal conversation like they were old friends.

Nami felt a shot in her heart similar to a fleeting pang. Suddenly her breath hitched and she felt too nauseous to eat anymore. The navigator stood up quickly to excuse herself from the feast.

"Are you heading back Nami?" Chopper asked still eating his fill.

"Y-Yeah Chopper, I had a little too much to drink." She said not looking at the doctor.

"Are you sure? If your feeling sick I can-"

Nami cut him off. "It's alright, I'm feeling fine." Chopper knew that tone, something was bothering her. Glancing over he could see Luffy in a serious talk with Empress, maybe that was why she was upset.

"Alright if you say so Nami, I'll see you back at the ship." Chopper said returning to conversation around the table.

Nami turned one last time to see Luffy deep in conversation as he was explaining something to the Empress. She could see the way how she looked at him and she hated it. Sighing too herself she made her way back towards the Sunny having an amazon escort her back.

"No I couldn't let Blackbeard live after all the lives he taken. Even if we captured him there was nothing we could've got from him. It was the only way." Luffy said trying to convince the Empress the circumstances called for him to take the life of Marshal D Teach.

She contemplated what to say before answering. "Even if it was justified, you have still killed. The people you kill stick with you until the day you die. I've killed many and remember them all. We are made to live and love not pillage and murder. I have governed a paradise for a long time and for every enemy you kill two stronger ones will take their place. But you know that Luffy, just remember don't be a murderer. In the short time I've known you, I know your not that." Hancock finished taking a drink from her wine.

It was a lot of information to take in. But the Empress held invaluable information about war tactics, strategy, and experience that proved vital. It would prove useful in the future.

Something was bothering him though. He took his chance too look for Nami when Hancock was busy with her amazons. She wasn't next to chopper anymore. He continued to stare at the empty spot wondering where she went. His heart sank as he wanted to talk with her more than anything.

Your mind on someone Luffy?" Boa teased with a smile.

"I uh-" Luffy looked at the Empress who had a look of curiosity. Luffy was at a loss for words he didn't know how to respond.

"You're in Love with her." Hancock giggled causing Luffy to grow a dark shade.

Before Luffy could answer Hancock spoke again. "Luffy, though my beauty has never faltered, I'll admit I'm not as young as I used to be. So I've seen my share of people over the years and seen that same look. No matter how beautiful a woman is, your heart is always going to belong to that girl. Do you understand Luffy?"

Luffy nodded before responding. "Your right, I do Hancock." He admitted to the first time to himself, to someone else, and for that matter out loud.

He didn't know what is was but ever since he told Hancock the truth in the library it's was like she was different. She went from jealous lover to supporter? He supposed she was always sort of like a mother figure to him. During their conversation The Empress revealed she felt it was her duty to take care of him because of his childish nature. She was right to protect him, he needed as much as could've got. Especially in Marineford and after wards allowing him to train and become stronger. He was really starting admire the real Boa Hancock that everyone knew.

Then she did something he didn't expect. She gripped his chin with her forefinger and laid a soft kiss at the crown of his hairline.

"Go after her." She said firmly looking him in the eyes intently. He knew from the look that she was serious. Hancock was letting her love for him go, so he could pursue his. She truly did love him and it meant a lot.

"Hancock.. Thank you, for everything." Luffy said giving a firm hug to the Empress before standing up. A renewed look of determination on his face.

Hancock could only put on a proud face of the boy she once knew who was so clueless now had a clear focus to what he wanted. It made her proud to see him come full circle.

"We will meet again." Hancock offered.

"Yeah I want to see you again, remember if you need us you know how to reach us." Luffy said earning an approving nod from Boa.

"Go Luffy." Boa said shooing him away. Once he was gone she smiled to herself. She couldn't help but too admit to herself how cute the two of them were together.

Before Luffy left for the Sunny, he whispered something to Brook to which the skeleton just broke out in laughter agreeing to his captain's request. Robin whispered something to Franky as she watched Luffy disappear towards the Sunny. He could only smile and lightly laugh along with his girlfriend.

Sabo finally finished throwing up. His stomach hurt and he still wanted to eat. It was a horrible situation he found himself in. Once he opened the door he was greeted by Elder Nyon herself. "Oh Elder you gave me quite a scare." Sabo said trying to get past her in the small doorway.

She stuck her cane in the way preventing

him from leaving.

"Very funny Elder Nyon But I must be-" for the millionth time tonight he was interrupted by this old lady. He wondered what the hell she wanted now.

"Sabo... I just to show you something..she began to lift her dress up to show her wrinkles and flailing figure.

"OOOH-" the blonde man screamed in terror taking a step back.

The elder took off her undergarments.

"OOOHHHH-" Sabo was now back up against the wall ready to barf again, her body pressing against him.

"E-Elder Nyon this is so..messed up." He somewhat squeaked the last part as she ran her hand up his chest.

"I'll be gentle." She whispered in his ear seductively. That was the final straw.

"NOOOOO!" Sabo screamed. "Fire fist!" He said breaking the back wall open exposing it to the cool breeze. Within a flash he was gone in a dance of flames.

Elder Nyon crossed her arms getting dressed. "I will have you one way or another, Sabo." She vowed returning to the feast.

The Thousand was not too far from the Amazon and Revolutionary ship. It was parked on the opposite side of the Polar Fang which was closer to the Revolutionary ship. It had a good deal of privacy but the ship was still very visible.

Luffy arrived on the Sunny to see it completely abandoned. He decided to see where Nami ran off too. He hoped she didn't go to sleep, that would be his worst nightmare. After searching a few known places she'd be he assumed she wouldn't be working now. Maybe she was taking a bath. Deciding to occupy his time he went back to the Library.

Once there he grabbed the all too familiar chest tucked under his seat. Setting it on table he opened the chest and began examine the fruit. It was so mysterious by nature, just by looking at it on itself it didn't seem like a devil fruit. It was a completely different entity, if the rumors were true and it contained all three ability types he couldn't imagine what type of power the fruit held. Picking it up he could feel the untapped power in his hand instantly. The fruit igniting his body with a glow, it was a power he never felt before. This fruit was indeed everything the rumors said, he couldn't imagine what eating it would be like if touching it had him reeling.

"Luffy?" Nami's voice called out to him causing him to drop the fruit in the chest.

"Nami..." Luffy spoke immediately drawn in by her beauty. His heart was ready to leap out of his chest. She wore a white tank top with a short blue skirt. Her hair was retained in that short bun he loved so much. He loved her hair two ways, that way and straightened. Luffy could tell she wore it for him because certain days he noticed her more when she had her like that. This time was no different she came in and could tell she just bathed. As she walked over to him he was speechless he still hadn't moved or said a word. Nami had barley entered the room and had him on his heels.

Since he was frozen in place she came up to him. "What are you doing here?" She asked Her tone and expression neutral.

"I could ask you the same." He smirked which she returned.

She rolled her eyes at his playfulness. "I came to get work done, unlike you." She answered heading for her desk behind him.

"Hey I am working too! I'm trying to figure this devil fruit out." Luffy said turning his attention back to the fruit. He was a horrible liar he couldn't figure anything out about this. He was really killing time waiting for her.

"A devil fruit huh?" Nami looked at the fruit curiously.

"May I?" She asked causing Luffy to smile. Nami put her hand on the fruit immediately feeling an overwhelming power. The fruit itself was a spectacular sight in itself but it truly was the epitome of a super weapon. Luffy shook the chest abruptly causing Nami to break from her trance a little startled.

"Shishi, Nami you scaredy cat ahaha oh—" Nami punched the captain so a large bump on his head appeared with smoke coming out of it.

"Don't do that Dammit!" She screamed her fist dripping with steam. It was a relief to her to return to normalcy after she stormed off from the feast. Nami suddenly realized the fruit was on the last thing on his mind. He was teasing his navigator, because he wanted to spend time with her.

Growing a light blush on her cheeks she tried to compose herself as Luffy got up.

"Luffy this fruit.. what type is it exactly?" Nami asked a curiosity to her tone.

"I'm not sure to be honest. It's a combination of Zoan, Paramecia, and Logia type all in one. Anything other than that is anyone's guess.. just rumors." Luffy said causing Nami to grow even more curious.

"So this is what that monster was after? Along with Tra- Guys devil fruit? He would've lived forever if he did." Nami finished a little grimly remembering Luffy battling him with no punches held back.

Luffy could tell what she was thinking.

"He didn't win though Nami and were safe for now. We shouldn't worry about him anymore." Luffy said not realizing used we. Nami caught it and grew more nervous as she stepped closer to her captain.

"Luffy..." She said in an angelic voice. It made his heart swell seeing her now. Even though he viewed her as an equal and not someone that needed protection. The captain knew he was ready to kill and die for his navigator without any hesitation. Any cost to keep her alive and happy.

"Hm? What is it Nami?" He asked curiously stepping closer so they were within a few feet of each other.

She wasn't looking directly at him, something was bothering her. Reaching out tentatively touching her cheek so she would look at him.

"Nami whatever it is, tell me. Not as your captain... as your friend. You know I'll listen." Luffy said a slight cringe at own words. That's the second time he did that. The first time was after he saved her from cracker and told her not touch his friends. He cringed then and he cringed now, it seemed to fit but at the same time didn't. Their relationship didn't quite fit into that category and could not be labeled as one thing.

Nami saw his struggle after saying those words. She knew he was just trying to make her feel comfortable, to talk to him without worrying her about where they stood at the moment.

She slightly frowned causing Luffy to shift a bit. " I know when you killed Blackbeard he said something too you, be honest what did he say too you?"

"He said he was going to kill everyone and take you alive for himself so I killed him." Luffy said without a hitch. It was the truth the last straw was when Blackbeard taunted him about his navigator.

Nami realizing her captain would kill men like Blackbeard to keep her safe made her happy. She quickly hugged him tightly to which he immediately lifted her up off her feet lightly causing her to giggle and slap him on his arms to get him to put her down.

He did put her feet to the floor but he was refusing to let her go. He held her at arms length but had his hands on her sides.

Luffy grew serious again glancing at the fruit.

"Nami..." his voice was suddenly serious. It worried his navigator. She took both her hands to lift his face.

"Luffy, were...friends. You can tell me anything." The words sounded sour coming out of her mouth. Friends did not hug or hold each other this way. But she both knew it was their way of not getting off track. It was used to keep each other in check especially at an unsure time like this.

"Blackbeard said without this fruit we will fall against Kaido. He told me this is the only way to beat him. Consume a second devil fruit at a high price." Before he finished his explanation the navigator had already picked up the chest heading toward the door.

Luffy stopped her suddenly stepping in front of her. "Woah Hey! That's mine give it here!" The navigator simply tried to step past him.

"No it's not yours, not anymore. Just what the hell do you need it for your strong enough?" Nami said challenging her captain.

"No I'm not. Even if all eleven supernovas fought Kaido it still might not be enough." Luffy argued calmly trying to get her to see his side. He feared she would never accept his logic.

"Okay so what? Your just going to trust the word of madman and even if you did eat it you could...die." Nami worst fear was him succumbing to his recklessness. She would not have it, she would protect him even from himself.

"Nami... give it here." Luffy sighed in defeat. "It's a last resort, I've been having doubts myself about taking it. But you have my word I won't take it Nami. You trust me don't you?" He asked inching closer to you.

The orange haired woman could only look away slightly flush. "Idiot. Of course I trust you... it's just I really worry about you. I want to keep you safe Luffy." Nami confessed causing a look of surprise come across the captain's face.

"Here." She handed him the chest back. "But you promised me!" She quickly added placing her hands on her hips. He immediately got it, giving her an understanding nod.

Both satisfied Luffy took the chest and propped it under his left arm, he suddenly grabbed Nami's hand intertwining their fingers. The contact causing both of them to look at each other.

"Come on." Luffy said pulling a flushed navigator outside towards the deck. Once outside the night sky began to light up and loud music began playing the Amazonian ship. Brook's concert was starting. The couple saw more and more people gather on the Amazonian ship, with the Revolutionaries dancing to the music crowding the deck of their ship. Nami realizing everyone was off the ship had an idea.

"Hey Luffy, meet me at the sunny head in a few minutes." Nami said hurriedly running off. Starting to nod his head to Brook's groovy song he made his way toward his room to hide the mystery fruit.

Nami quickly ran too the woman's dormitory gathering her make up and heading for the bathroom. She looked herself in the mirror after a minute or so making sure her hair was in her perfectly placed bun, her bangs slightly out of place.

Heading back outside she could see Luffy still hadn't emerged so she headed off to the kitchen. The navigator pulled out two tall glasses before pouring some orange juice along with some of Zoro's most expensive bottles. Just enough to get a buzz. Devilishly Luffy's drink had slightly more alcohol in it surely it would be a good night.

Sure enough Luffy was waiting atop the sunny head when she emerged, he was busy watching Brook's concert in awe.

"Luffy can I get a hand?!" She yelled holding the two full glasses up. Her captain excitingly wrapped his arm around her waist lifting her in front of him nearly on his lap.

He'd caught her off guard nearly causing her to spill her drinks.

"Thanks." She said turning softly too look at him. "Here thought you could use a drink." Nami smiled handing him the drink.

"Appreciate it Nami, I was really thirsty!" The captain gave his signature grin that she was so fond of. She was glad he still kept his smile after everything that happened.

She rested her back against his chest causing his to slightly jump out of the contact, before quickly settling back in.

The two were equally as nervous as one another. Between watching Brook's concert and sipping their drinks they were content to be like this. After a few minutes Luffy slowly wrapped his arm around her waist like he always did, hand resting on her abdomen. Nami turned back to smile slightly at him before placing her hand on his face pushing their heads together. The navigator could see the Captain looked as happy as ever with her like this. She couldn't help but feel the same way, just holding each other like this.

Brook's began to speak on the loud microphone echoing throughout the speakers reaching the all vessels.

"Alright thank you everyone for having me and being a great crowd. Now... it's time to slow it down for the all the lovers out there, if you got someone special hold on to them and enjoy this soulful song yohoho." Brook said strumming his guitar softly. The skeleton's voice changed to a lighter tone. Everyone on board the ship's began to slow down listening to Brook's love song.

"Hey Nami.. why did you leave the feast so early? Were you mad?" Luffy asked wondering what it is was. He had a pretty good guess but he wanted to hear her say it.

Nami couldn't help opening herself to him. Anyone else she would've brushed it off and told them to forget about it. His grip on her waist and innocent, curious way he was looking at her made her concede.

Sighing Nami told him everything, even that she was Boa touching him and making him laugh made her irritated to the point she couldn't stand to be in the same area.

"Shishi, Na it isn't like that at all were friends. She's actually a cool person. Hancock was the one told me to come find you." Luffy said hoping to put her mind at ease.

"But were.." Nami didn't even want to finish her thought. "Friends aren't we Luffy?" She asked a little cautious.

"Yes, we are friends. But your the only friend I have that has my heart." The captain said without batting an eye.

Suddenly Nami was blushing at words. Her captain just admitted that she was the only friend that had his heart. Meaning that what they truly had was a special bond.

"You have my heart too Luffy, you always had it since you freed me from Arlong, and even if you didn't feel the same." Luffy could tell she was looking for her words trying to place them correctly. "You would still have my heart." Nami said not quite looking at him.

"Nami," Luffy lifts her chin to look at him for the second time that night. His hand pressed tighter against her so she was in his lap. " your the only one I've ever wanted, the only I could only ever want."

It was all she needed to hear. She closed the distance between their bodies crashing their bodies together. The two went at each other like two dehydrated animals and their lips were the only water available for miles. Nami threw her arms around his neck pushing her down under him.

"I'm the only one you think about huh?" She said straddling her captain. The navigator straddling him could already tell he was telling the truth.

"Yeah I could care less about any other woman, I want you." He spoke intently sitting up to attack her neck, the spot he missed so much.

He remembered after the last time in the library, how she wore sweaters and turtlenecks for at least a week. He had a feeling it was the purple bruises he left on her neck, and chest. He wanted to do that again, to show everyone she was his.

He was wondering how the crew would react if they saw them like this. He knew some of them had an idea but they never seen them in action.

Nami began tugging at his red charigan urging him to take it off. He did right away much to her delight. Luffy started to slip his hands under her tank top laying his hands on curves. She moaned lightly into the kiss once again forcing him on his back.

"My turn." She devilishly grinned kissing his neck, chest, and abdomen. The navigator wanted to taste every inch of her captain. Only Robin knew of her fantasy to touch and kiss Luffy's abdomen. It was something that drove her crazy, she began having dreams about it once in awhile. Robin would wake her asking her if she had a good dream. That woman knew damn well what she dreaming about.

Now she had him in her grasp. The man worth 1.5 Billion Beli and the newly crowned yonko to the world. But to her he was Luffy; her Luffy.

"Nami finished licking his abdomen and kissing his neck before whispering in his ear: "you know, now that you're mine I should turn you in for that bounty of yours." Nami teased slightly.

"That's fine." The captain said simply surprising his navigator. "Let's enjoy this night first." Luffy whispered back. It caused her to squirm with pleasure. She was trying to joke around with him but he was in no mood to play. Luffy kissed her passionately lifting the woman to her feet, while picking up the glasses. The two ended up moving onto the grass area of the ship.

Now with a lot more room, the fire was reignited. Nami once again was ontop now tongue wrestling her captain. He was currently having a little trouble keeping up. Nami made sure when they met again she would win this time. She could hear the groans come from the captain. The navigator feels his hands slide from her sides to her ass giving it a firm squeeze. The pressure he exerted caused her hips to grind forward on him causing him to groan louder. There was no doubt now she was indeed the only one he felt this way about. Nami finally pulled back to see her captain was like her, searching for air.

"Nami... Your so beautiful..." he spoke. "More than any other wom—" Luffy was interrupted by her lips once again claiming his. She couldn't help but let out a moan as he ground his hips into hers sharply while attacking her earlobe, cheek, and neck once again stopping at her chest.

The orange haired woman giggled at his chivalry. He didn't want too unless she gave him permission, it was one of the reasons she wanted him so much.

Before they could continue a loud whistle came from behind them. It was Zoro, and he was holding two large barrel of Sake on his shoulder's. The two quickly separated and dusted off still slightly flushed.

"Don't mind me, we just came to get more sake but seeing this, HA! I think I can die happy now." The swordsman smirked.

"We?!" The couple asked seeing the rest of the crew emerge from below deck carrying more barrels of alcohol. Everyone was there of course except Brook.

Franky yelled from the nearest side of the ship. "Hey hurry up! Time is precious party time broskis!" The cyborg was growing a little impatient. Glancing up he could see everyone on deck emerging to greet the couple.

"Hey! Nami, Luffy!" He gave a thumbs up. "I think it's Suppeerrr!" The cyborg said with his signature pose.

Nami was a deep shade of crimson. This was the last thing either of them expected. She had a feeling who was responsible. Seeing the raven hair woman emerge rolling out a few barrels with a devilish look in her eye with a slight grin only confirmed her theory. Nami couldn't help but feel was always messing with the two of them, she was really starting to think Robin was still that same demon child.

"When did you guys get here?" Luffy asked as the crew started counting the barrels.

"We've been here Luffy, you guys looked like you were busy so we didn't want to intrude." Usopp said rubbing the back of neck.

"You guys saw us?" Nami said nearly exploding from embarrassment. The way they attacked each other like wild animals with untamed passion.

"Yeah we did, were not really surprised honestly. You guys couldn't hold it in forever." Sanji said smoking his cigarette as usual.

Robin chimed in as well, "we heard quite a lot too." Causing the two to take a small step away from the other. The crew heard what they were talking about. Blushes on both their faces appeared causing the crew to chuckle.

"Yeah ,Yeah we heard you guys confess your love for one another." Zoro teased as the couple looked like they were trying to run away in all directions. Young love was always the best for stuff like this.

"Hey Luffy grab Robin's barrels and help us load up huh? The chef asked rolling the barrels toward his captain.

"Sure" Luffy said scooping the barrel up following the crew to the side of the ship to start loading up.

Robin went over to Nami who still had blush on her face. "Y-You did this didn't you?"

The raven haired woman could only chuckle. "I only suggested we provide the alcohol since everyone else brought food, it was only fair." Robin said showing a warm smile to her the woman she considered a younger sister.

"We just wanted to check on you two. All of us care about the both of you. The crew is so happy for you two." Robin said nodding toward the direction of the crew loading up the boat currently arguing about irreverence.

Nami was touched the crew was concerned about them. They were just making sure the two were okay before heading off back to the concert.

The two women shared a tight hug in the middle of the sunny. Robin devilishly whispered something in the navigator's ear to make her go crimson again. Then continued to whisper causing another reaction from the younger woman.

"Are you sure that will work?" Nami said low enough so it was between the two of them.

Robin simply gave her a warm smile. "It'll work." Then she gave another hug before releasing Nami proud to see her happy.

"JUST DROP IT!" Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp yelled at the captain. He was trying to drop the last barrel on the ship but he was fearing they wouldn't catch it.

"Luffy just dr-" as soon as those words left his mouth Usopp was hit by a large barrel.

"Oi idiots you said to drop it!" Luffy yelled at his crew.

The rest looked at Usopp who was still twitching under the barrel with a thumbs up.

"It's fine, I guess." Every said in unison besides Usopp who just muttered something about Chopper and medical attention.

As if on cue Chopper emerged from the ship with his medical bag just in case people starting passing out. He ran up to the two women currently still chatting.

"Nami!" The doctor ran up to be scooped up in her arms. "Feeling better?" The doctor said with a hint of pink on his cheeks.

"Much." Nami said placing the reindeer on the ground. "I'm so happy for you two Nami." The young woman hugged the doctor again.

"Oi Robin were leaving!" Franky yelled over his shoulder starting the engine.

Robin hugged Nami one last time before pulling back to look at the young woman. She truly was a beauty like no other, she would make a perfect queen. Rare tears pooled around the older woman's eyes. She couldn't believe how much Nami had grown over the years. Even in the past few months, she was truly proud to call the Cat Burglar her sis.

"Nami take care." Robin said softly pulling her in one last time before leaving for the boat.

Robin gave Luffy a warm smile before turning back to get on the boat.

Chopper finished embracing Nami and turned to Luffy who in turn scooped him up.

It made Nami's heart swell to see Chopper so close to Luffy. Besides their captain, Chopper had earned a close second in her heart. Despite being grown, the reindeer and Luffy shared a lot in common. Especially their childish nature, which she couldn't help but remember fondly. The two of them were always causing trouble and she wouldn't have it anyway. Seeing the two embrace she could picture Luffy holding a child in his arms similar to the way he held Chopper.

A blush came across her face. These new feelings she was experiencing for the first time were thrilling but made her nervous. She obviously knew where babies came from and how they were made. She couldn't help but wonder if that's what Luffy would want. She didn't want to force anything he didn't want onto him especially with everything he had on his plate already. Nami had a good feeling as she remembered his time with Momonosuke. She saw how he matured towards the boy after Dressrosa when he arrived at Zou, and made the alliance to kill Kaido. He shook hands with the kid promising to avenge his parent's murders. She'd never seen the boy so happy even when was perving around. The navigator remembered fondly the joy it brought to her heart seeing the two men join hands. She wanted to nurture the boy when he cried, but Luffy insisted a man needed some times to himself to overcome pain. Nami didn't wholeheartedly agree with his somewhat stern way of handling kids. She knew it was best that way; both of their parenting styles contrasting one another's. The ying to each other's yang.

"See you guys!" Chopper said hurrying off toward the others. Nami and Luffy walked to the deck to wave by to others.

"Have fun kids!" Franky said impatiently pulling the throttle rocketing off toward the Amazon ship with a trail of floating barrels behind them.

"AMAZON WOMEN HERE WE COME, OH YEAH!" Everyone but Franky shouted earning hits each from Robin, even Nami threw random items at the group for their idiocy.

The pair watched from the Sunny as the crew departed towards the large ship in the distance. They could tell their crew arrived because they could hear Brook's voice ring out over the microphone.

"There's my crew everybody! Drinks on the Strawhats! Yohoho!" The skeleton strummed his guitar indicating his second act was just beginning.

"LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" A loud roar coming from every pirate within a half mile could be heard causing Luffy and Nami to cover their ears. The Polar Tang and the Revolutionary ship with The other vessels started moving slowly towards the Amazon ship closing it on both sides. The roads and cheers only got louder as the music got started. Fireworks flew up from the Revolutionary Ship.

"Woah." The two remaining Straw hats said to themselves but both of them heard it. The couple looked at each other with a warm smile.

"So I guess the crew knows now." Nami said breaking the silence.

"Yeah." The captain smiled. "I'm glad."

Luffy could see Nami was still at an arms length. Knowing he could risk it all with this he had to know in his mind for sure. As he learned early in life if you risk nothing you'll gain nothing. He could be putting all they've built up so far at risk, he had to know.

"Nami, I'm not going to marry you." Luffy said with a serious tone, his expression unreadable.

The statement didn't illicit a reaction from the navigator. She thought back to her earliest days adventuring with Luffy and the crew. Nami assumed he just wanted his freedom, just like her. As long as she remained his navigator, she would be by his side. That's all that mattered to her now, she gave her answer.

"You don't have to marry me, Luf-ah" before she could finish he clutched her waist pulling her to him.

"Nami, I want you to marry." The captain said sporting his signature smile.

Nami was fuming. "Then why the hell did you ask me that!" She lightly hit him on the chin.

"Shishi I had to be sure." He said leaning back against the railing pulling her to him.

"Yeah, sure of what?" She asked still not fully over what he put her through or what the point of it was.

"I love you." Luffy simply said claiming her lips once more. Any residing anger Nami had evaporated. She placed her hands around his neck pulling him into her. It was like the two couldn't get close enough. Nami was the first one to pull away but she was still close enough so they were nose to nose.

"I love you too." Nami said pulling him to her once more. She had to admit Luffy was getting better at this. He slowly lifted her up onto his torso so they were now chest to chest. Nami let out a light squeak as he pressed their frames together. With his navigator in tow, the captain headed over to the grass area where they previously were. Luffy sat down as Nami moved their drinks from behind him to the side allowing him to lay down with her never leaving his chest. They were together now as Nami straddled her captain.

Nami slowly lifts the hem of her shirt up only to see Luffy looking away a little shyly. The navigator thought it was cute he played it that way. Now it was her turn to put all the seduction techniques she learned to good use. Nami was a tease through and through, the farthest she went was light touches and hugs. But it was nothing more than superficial business, beri's was only language she spoke. Now here she was with a chance to tease the youngest yonko, her captain, her Luffy.

She pulled his chin to look at her.

"It's like I said Luffy," Nami whispered in his ear. "Only you can see me like this." She could hear his breath lightly hitch as he stared up at her. The navigator threw her shirt to the side now gazing down an awe struck Luffy.

Never in his life did he expect to see her like this. She said it was only for him and he knew she meant it. He was mesmerized by what she was showing him. A large blush on her face as she leaned down to him to rest her breasts in his face. Luffy immediately kissed them each causing Nami to moan loud pulling his head deeper.

"Luffy.." She said gripping his hair as she could feel the mix of Luffy's light and heavy kisses on her chest. She let out another loud moan as he gave her breasts a light squeeze.

Nami sat up straight when she felt Luffy tugging lightly at her bra trying to pull her out of it. She smiled at her captain's foolish but adorable attempt to remove her bra.

"Wait-" she held his hand to his chest. He pulled back looking at her curiously.

"Let me show you-" Nami said grabbing his hands and pulling them with hers behind his back.

"Like this Luffy." Her hands were so soft and gentle when she guided him to the back of her bra. Helping him unhook it, she could see the look of amazement on his face.

Satisfied she leaned down to kiss while he was off guard sticking her tongue into his mouth. Nami fully took her bra off throwing it in a pile with her shirt. Bringing their chests together more electric than they could've thought. They groaned into each other's mouths. Many times had they imagined doing this to each other in their most private moments. Nami brought her bare chest down on his again.

"N-Nami.." Luffy was in bliss with her like this. She slowly lifted her breasts to his mouth and he immediately responded taking one into his mouth hungrily while grabbing the other one swiftly. The navigator moaned pushing her deeper into her. Luffy moves his mouth to the other one licking it before suckling hard again. In response Nami rubbed her leg against Luffy's shorts and could see how much he was enjoying this. A blush spread across her face as an idea popped in her head. Only in her perverted fantasy did she picture this and she wanted to make it a reality.

"Luffy, can you do something for me?" She asked whispering to him.

"Anything." He said coming to meet her face. She swiftly got off of him to lay next to him.

"Come here." She said pulling him by his neck for him to climb on her. Luffy carefully slid over her body resting on his elbows so he wasn't crushing her with his weight. She kissed him again leaning up to meet her captain halfway.

"Luffy.." She grabbed her hand placing it down to her sensitive area. The contact even with his fingers even through her small shorts was enough for her to groan his name again. She began to take off her shorts and panties so she was completely naked in front of him. Nami did this swiftly slightly embarrassed that she would let any man see her like this. But it was her Luffy, her captain, and now her lover.

He began to instinctively push his fore finger deeper into her causing her to moan loudly. So he continued slowly at first before steadily increasing his pace.

Soon she clenched around his second finger when he lightly rubbed around her clit. Nami was in bliss but she still wanted more. Her fantasy had yet to come true.

"Luffy" her voice breaking him out of his trance. She moaned lightly as she missed the contact as his finger slid out of her.

"C-Can you... put your tongue, where your fingers were?" She asked slightly shaking from the pleasure.

The statement shocked Luffy who was surprised she wanted him to do that but he would be happy to give her whatever she wanted.

"Of course Nami." He smiled warmly at her. She gave him a warm smile of her own before leaning back anticipation on her features.

Luffy slowly leaned towards her entrance. He glanced up to see Nami who slightly squirming in anticipation. Her scent was unique unto her; it was a blend of Mikans, Honey. It was intoxicating and inviting he eagerly placed his lips onto hers without a second a thought. A spark of electricity flew through Nami's body as his lips made contact with her womanhood.

"Oh my god Luffy, Yes!" She moaned as he continued kissing her other set of lips. Knowing how much pleasure Nami was in, Luffy stuck his tongue inside her entrance causing her to squirm away from him from the pleasure. Growing wearily of the loss of contact he roughly grabbed her thighs bringing them to his chest pinning them down. He inhaled her scent again and it was only making him want her more. Luffy looked at his navigator holding his gaze on her, before putting his tongue to her wet entrance once again. Taking a long kick making sure to flick his tongue.

Nami could barley hold his gaze as he continued to ravage her clit. This was her beautiful twisted dark fantasy. To have her captain's mouth in between her legs, licking her ferociously. She grinned her hips into Luffy's face as she felt a pressure build up.

"L-Luffy whatever y-you do please, don't stop." Luffy had no plans too. Nami tasted so good it was almost addictive, if she asked him to stay down there the whole night he would. Not a minute longer Nami released her orgasm with Luffy slurping it all up greedily.

All Nami could focus on was the drowned out music and sound of cheers as the fireworks continued to fly. It perfectly explained what she was feeling right now. Luffy was still breathing heavy, kissing her inner thighs.

In a flash she held him up so he was nose to nose with her. She held her gaze on him like he'd never seen before.

"Nami What is—" she shut him up by kissing him pulling him back into her. The kisses were coming furiously from her. He took a glance at his navigator to see she was kissing him with abandon. Not wasting a second he wrapped onto her tighter.

"Luffy, I need you now, right now." She didn't waste any time for him to respond. She turned him over, straddling him once again. He discarded his shirt and boxers in one go.

"Whatever you want Nami, I'll do it." Luffy obliged as she raised herself over him both preparing to enter adulthood.

"Luffy it's going to hurt the first time." She held him down as he got up to say something. "It's supposed too though it'll be okay I promise, I want this, I want you." She said smiling.

The captain was only worried that it would hurt his navigator. If he did that he felt it was wrong. But seeing her with tears starting to well up as she really needed him right now.

Reluctantly he agreed much to her satisfaction. Adjusting herself so she was right above his manhood. Holding her breath she slowly slid onto him causing both of them to moan instantly as he slid in slowly. Nami buried herself in the crook of his neck and he wrapped his arms around her like always. He could hear lightly sniffle as she carefully shifted on him. This feeling for Luffy was unlike any other but he couldn't enjoy it yet, not without Nami. She was still on his shoulder, he could feel the tears roll onto him.

"Nami are you alright?" Luffy asked concerned about his navigator.

"Yes it doesn't hurt as much." Nami said raising herself to straddle him.

"I'm going to start moving now, we're going to have sex." She said aloud to him and herself.

She began to rock her hips on his sending a jolt of electricity between them previously not felt. Nothing in the world they either of them experienced was anything close to this.

Luffy never thought there was anything that would surprise him anymore after defeating Blackbeard. Yet here his navigator was giving him the ride of his life, as he brought his hips up to meet hers as she slowly slid forward on his chest. The two continued to passionately kiss exploring every inch of each other's body increasing their sloppy pace.

Nami was in heaven feeling more pleasure then she'd ever had in her life. She thought Luffy's tongue was good enough but this was an entirely different experience. As the invader inched deeper, she realized how happy she was giving it to someone who meant as much as he did. Not once had he ever doubted her, he always had faith in her like she did with him. Now here they taking each other's virginities on the grass of the Sunny. In this moment she wished it would last forever.

The two were starting to slow their pace as they began to tire out. Both knew what was coming, an intense pressure.

"Nami, I'm going too—" she placed her lips on his silencing him laying him on his back increasing her pace again.

"Me too Luffy" Nami said biting her lip in ecstasy.

"Together then?" He asked.

"Together" She responded.

The couple interlocked their hands, bringing their foreheads together. Whispering each other's names onto one another's lips.

Soon after in a blurry haze they both collapsed embracing one another. Nami rolled off him so she was laying on his chest, her legs wrapping around his abdomen and legs.

The two were still trying to catch their breath holding onto each other.

"Nami?"

"Hmm?" He could see she was in her own thoughts tracing his scar with her finger.

"So that's where kids come from huh?" Luffy asked a grin on his face.

Nami was curious about his question. She was wondering if he could be asking what she was hoping for.

"Yeah babies are made that way, it takes nine months though." Nami stated devoid of emotion. She didn't want to get her hopes up to be disappointed.

" I would be happy to make a baby with you." Luffy said as if it was no big deal.

Nami was a bit speechless but her heart was racing.

"You would make a great dad Luffy. I know you would protect us no matter what." Nami said smiling as she kissed his cheek.

"You would be the best mom. I would hope my kids to grow up smart like their mother." Luffy responded.

"Yes I really do hope they inherit my smarts." She giggled.

"Very funny." Luffy said slightly joking but also a little hurt.

"It's perfect Luffy. I would hope, wether boy or girl, the grow up strong like their father." The navigator says with pride echoing in her voice. If their kid ended up with her smarts and Luffy's strength, the world would be their oyster.

"If they grow up strong it's because of you, I mean you can beat me up and all." Luffy beamed at her.

"That's right so remember who's really the captain." She smirked.

"Okay Okay, you're the boss. But there is no way when the crews around I'm calling you that!"

"I'm the boss you'll do as I say!" Nami said pinching and pulling his face.

The two could only take each other seriously for so long. They were arguing over something silly pressed against each other in the after glow of their love making. It was technically their first pillow talk. The two began to chuckle at their usual antics. Though they added sex to their relationship; it didn't change anything they hadn't felt for each other already. The love and passion they felt for each other was already there. It was based on mutual trust, respect, and unyielding faith in the other. The act of sex allowed the two to express those repressed feelings. If it was based on lust, it would've made it awkward afterwards because there are no feelings involved. But these two found each other in an unforgiving world. Chasing adventure, finding a family, and finally finding love.

Nami handed Luffy his glass as they began to drink greedily, both parched from their love making session.

"Hey Nami" Luffy softly called out to her touching her arm lovingly. She was resting her head against her knees watching the concert and fireworks.

She looked at the ground for a second before looking at him with one of the happiest smiles he'd seen on her. The smile she only reserved for him once in awhile when she was pleased with something he did or said.

"I know I can tell you anything right? Would you believe me?" Luffy asked with a somewhat unsure tone. Nami slightly worried sat in his lap like they were before on the Sunny head. The navigator pulled her captain's around her waist before turning to face him.

"Of course I'd believe you, you don't lie, especially you wouldn't to me, I know that. But we've always shared burdens Luffy, you can tell me anything." Nami said wrapping her arms around his neck while burying into his shoulder.

Those were the words he needed to hear to tell her what was on his mind.

"After I defeated Blackbeard and passed out.. I had a vision. It felt more real than a dream but you were in it..." he trailed off interlocking their hands together while her free hand was tracing his abdomen and torso. Luffy could tell she was listening intently so he continued. "We had a son." This caused her to look at him in surprise.

He assumed she wanted him to continue.

"His name was Eddy." Luffy stated evenly.

"Eddy as in short for Edward?" Nami asked curiously.

"I'm not sure, we just called him that."

Nami didn't know any Eddys, but she knew two Edwards. Edward Newgate or Whitebeard as he was named, and his son Edward Weevil. Edward the name passed down through the Whitebeard Clan.

"Hey Luffy, wasn't the name of Ace's captain?"

"Whitebeard Huh? It makes sense now. Ace told me Whitebeard was the greatest pirate he'd ever seen and how he would help him become Pirate King. I remember now, if he had a son his name would've been Edward." Luffy said grinning.

"Edward." She repeated the name on her lips. "Eddy, My little Eddie, Our son." She loved it.

"What did he look like?" Nami asked looking up to him once again.

Luffy closed his eyes in deep thought trying to remember what Eddy looked like.

"He was just a small baby, but he looked like a mini me but with your eyes of course. He had my hair with the tips of his curls were orange when the sun hit it. When I held you both in my arms, I've never been happier than that." Luffy said looking to Nami who was staring at him in awe.

After a few seconds she threw herself on him nearly toppling him over. It was only now they both realized they were still nude. The feeling earlier was back as the concert roared with cheers and applause. Brook was slowing down the mood once again dedicating the song to all the couples. Pink fireworks could be seen shooting high above the sky.

"Luffy..." Nami whispered in his ear seductively. "Take me to bed."

Without hesitation he crashed his lips against her picking her up by her legs throwing them around his abs causing her to moan. That's was all he needed as the pair made the way to Nami and Robin's quarters.

Nami pulled Luffy onto her the both of their naked bodies pressing against one another. Nami blushed as she remembered Robin told her the room was theirs' for the night. Nami rubbed her thighs together as she could feel Luffy's manhood rub her sensitive spot. She moaned loudly waiting for Luffy to enter but he didn't move. She whimpered lightly trying to move his hips towards her by placing her legs on his backside, but he wouldn't budge.

"Luffy stop teasing me." Nami said pleading him to end whatever he was doing to her.

"Nami so that means all those times. Zou, Totto Land, Bege's meeting. That whole time you were dressing for me?" He questioned making his expression unreadable.

"Luffy.." she moaned. "Please.." Nami tried to get him to enter her but he only slightly lowered his hips.

It was his turn to seduce her. "I want to hear you say it." He lowly growled in her ear demanding an answer.

"Yes Luffy! It's was all for you and only for your eyes only. Just stop teasing me!" Nami practically screamed clearly out of patience.

He didn't waste time after hearing what he wanted from and he swiftly entered causing her to moan louder than he'd ever heard. Gone was the sloppiness from their first time. It was now two adults making love for a greater purpose; to try and make something greater than themselves. Each contributing a half to make a whole.

If Luffy knew something about himself since he was born it, he was always better in everything he did, on second try than the first. He continued to love his navigator as she fully spread beneath him.

"I like your hair wrapped up like this, it makes your seem like a Queen." He spoke caressing her cheek. She was in such bliss as he pumped into her at a steady rhythm.

"But I love your hair like this." He said pulling out her hair ties keeping her bun in place. Her long hair was let down to its full length. Now he could see her as she was and he thought she was the most beautiful creature he'd ever laid eyes on.

Seeing her in his favorite hairstyle he went even faster and she begged him to not stop.

Luffy leaned back to caress her cheek as she kissed his palm loving his touch.

"Your the most beautiful creature I've ever seen. All of you Nami, I love you, I want you as my queen. Be my queen Nami." He said kissing her all over body.

"Of course Luffy. Your the only man I've loved, that I ever want to love me like this. I love you Luffy, make me your queen." Nami said moaning into his ear.

He gladly obliged increasing his frequency and pressure, lifting himself up so he was above her hips. Luffy began to start wheezing as he grew tired. Nami knew he close.

She pulled him into a passionate dance with tongues. Soon after the two were overcome with pleasure as she cleaned around him causing both to reach their climaxes. Luffy settled in between her chest exhausted nearly passing out on spot.

"Luffy your amazing." She said giggling before she pulled him up to her.

"I hail in comparison to my queen." He smiled contently at the edge of sleep.

"Sleep well my king." She whispered the two sharing one last kiss before they passed out in each other's embrace. The King and Queen of the Pirates were just beginning.

Trafalgar Law had not danced the entire time at the concert. It was finally ending and people were heading off in their own directions; paired up nonetheless. He noticed the Amazon Empress barking orders for the clean up crews. She looked exhausted and stressed.

"Empress Hancock." He said appearing next to her.

"Trafalgar Law, what is it you want?" She asked a slight curiosity playing at her features.

Law didn't know why he was doing this but he said it anyway.

"I noticed you weren't enjoying yourself during the concert." He said.

"So your stalking me? I could have you arrested." The Empress was not biting.

"Just an observation. You look beautiful tonight, I don't know what it is but truly you do." He spoke knowing those words came from his intoxicated mind.

The Empress admitted she had needs like everyone else. Trafalgar she trusted and he was a captain in his own right. She gave him one shot and one only.

"My amazons would kill you even if I invited you to my chambers for preparation for tomorrow's meeting and some tea." If She was trying to sound seductive he couldn't tell.

"I don't like tea." He simply said.

"Neither do I." She replied.

He couldn't wait after that. "Come with me." Law grabbed the Empress wrist ignoring her protests. "Room." With that the pair was gone leaving a smirking Elder Nyon.

"Good for you Empress. Sabo I will have your heart some day." She said looking towards the Revolutionary ship before heading inside.

In the revolutionary ship Sabo was in his quarters talking to Koala on the transponder snail. Mid sentence he felt a sharpe pang in his heart.

Sensing the distress Koala asked him what was wrong worriedly.

"N-Nothing babe, just a feeling is all." He lied. Sabo knew exactly what that was. He was never going back to Amazon Lily. The blonde man tried to hold in his barf, while finishing his talk with his girlfriend.

The fireworks continued to ring out as the forces celebrated. It was truly a great victory and a great night for the Straw hat forces.
