"So, the next stop is Louge town" finally understand Luffy after his high over his first bounty. Nami was still a little bit angry over her new nakama´s reactions and worried about the destiny of Hakuei, but she managed to explain them why they were stopping in that place, the reason it was famous and the one why they should keep a low profile. Unfortunately, she wasn´t sure if Luffy was able to do that.

"Yes, it´s Louge Town" she answered, hoping that the damn wanted poster hasn´t arrived to that place yet. Unfortunately for her, it did. And the one that received it was captain Smoker, who was taking a rest of his chase of the two unknown fugitives to read the new wanted posters and do some paperwork.

"Where is Tashigi? She should be here" he called for his trusted subordinate, who he hoped was making some intel gathering on the whereabouts of the two strangers that showed up a few months ago, especially since they were related to the Shirohige.

"The Chief Petty Officer is going to pick up her sword" someone answered, making him groan. The woman was as blind as a bat when she wasn´t wearing her glasses… which she used to do.

"Search for her, I need the intel she should be gathering for me to know about those two who recently showed up in the town" he picked up some papers. "Since their arrival they had been unsuccessfully trying to join at least to three pirate crews to get to the Grand Line. It´s obvious that they are trying to return to their crew."

"Right away, sir" some marines went away. Smoker sighed, returning to the paperwork. The woman was hopeless. Suddenly he was alarmed by the sound of explosions. Apparently some worthless pirate thought that his town was an easy point to rob. He dealt with the useless man in a second and returned to work. He was so worried about the crew, that he didn´t noticed the people that was looking at that… or perhaps it had something to do with the invisibility spell the madoushi casted.

"Damn, I was sure this one was going to be the right one" Sharrkan commented, trying to keep quiet. He had a wine bottle in his hands, something he could snatch from a local shop. "I was truly hoping that…"

"Shhh" Yamuraiha looked at the one that attacked them a few months ago. She had been stranded with Sharrkan enough time to only want to go straight to the White Chase man and handed her companion to him. but she would never do that to a companion. "All the pirates that come here ended up being defeated by that captain. At this rate… we are going to have to defeat him ourselves."

"Defeat him ourselves" the swordsman looked at his sword worriedly. Without his household vessel he wasn´t so sure that he would win against an opponent that could turn his body into smoke. "Could you do something? Without…"

"I know, just let me think" she started walking through the streets, feeling her blood boil. At this rate they would never find their king. Sinbad… she would never know what was happening in the head of that man. He could have died for his actions in the Sacred Palace, all in the name of making a perfect world, something she knew could never be. A perfect world was impossible, it was in the hands of humanity to make a BETTER world. He should know that perfectly well... "Watch out!"

"So… you were here"

"Yes, we were" the dark skinned man pulled out his blade, trying not to look threatened. He knew that without the power of Focalor, he was practically useless against what he called his devil fruit, but he had to protect… what was she doing? A borg suddenly was around them, and water columns appear around the generals. The marine was somehow shaken and a little bit fearful. He didn´t know that the woman can control water.

"What kind of devil fruit…." He started saying, but the techniques chased him and his men, giving the two strangers enough time to escape the wrath of Smoker. Soon they found themselves in another port, panting and striving to recover the breath. Then the two heard: "FIND THEM!"

"We have to run" the woman said, grabbing his hand and pulling him into the streets. They were running when they bumped into an orange haired woman, who was carrying some bags. She glared at them, trying to gather all the belongings that were spread on the floor. "We are very sorry! Are you alright?" Yamuraiha helped her on her feet. "We are truly sorry, we weren´t seeing where we were going…."

"It´s alright" she answered. "I wasn´t looking either, too worried about the weather and something else to look in front of me" she sighed. "I have a ship to sail and you know how important the weather is on the sea."

"Yes, I sailed once" Sharrkan answered, trying to see Smoker in the crew. "You have a ship? Then… can you accept two more passengers on it?"

"Well, I would have to ask the captain, but I don´t think he is going to make a problem out of this" she continued. "And talking about that, I should go find him now. Knowing him, Luffy has already found his way into trouble… Gosh, sometimes, instead of a pirate, I feel like a nanny for those weirdoes."

"You are a pirate?" the tangerine woman looked scared, but the madoushi calmed her down. "Easy there, we are not in well terms with the law either. In fact, we want to leave the town because of a marine that is always chasing us."

"Tell me about marines" the only marine she ever wrote off as good was her own mother and Bellemere was not even between them anymore. "I´m Nami, by the way, a pleasure to meet you. Now, if you can help me find a fool with a straw hat and the dumbest attitude in the world, we will be ready to go."

"I´m Yamuriaha, this idiot is Sharrkan and sure, why not?" and they found it. They found the fool in the top of a chopping block, with a clown threatening to cut his throat. the mage cursed under her breath. She thought only Sin would get into troubles this big. Unfortunately, this captain apparently was a younger and even more idiotic version of Sinbad, complete with the huge power she could feel inside of him, striving to awake. "What´s he doing there?!"

"I don´t know!" the navigator was trembling in fear. They heard what he was saying and Nami´s hearth almost stopped. "I´m going to find my crew! Please help Luffy!"

"Well, that was great while it lasted, we should go…"

"We are going to help Nami-san, you idiot" Yamuraiha raised her staff and was about to cast a borg when a scream coming from the boy shook even her core. He was so convinced that the people around him could only stare at him in disbelieve.

"I´M GOING TO BE KING OF PIRATES!" this shook her core and Sharrkan´s too. It was… it was almost as if she was hearing Sinbad when he was still a young lad, before depravity started to claim him. So they boy… had the strength of a king, eh? And the will, don´t forget the will. This lad surely had what was needed to become a great king.

"Any magi would die to have a king candidate like him" she whispered and prepared to save him. soon after the crew arrived at their captain´s side and some marines too, even the captain that always chased him. There was a fight and… thunder struck the platform. He then appeared from the ruins of the place, completely unharmed.

"Woow, that was close" and he laughed. Yamuraiha put a hand on her chest, breathing hard. Yes, definitely Sin. And then Nami punched him, grabbing the weirdo and forcefully dragging him towards the port. The other crew members started running too, before their road was cut down by the marines.

"Yamuraiha, can you do something about this?" Sharrkan was prepared to fight. He trained constantly to get better, to get bigger magoi… even if he couldn't use his vessel. "They are getting closer and closer…"

"I think there is no need, they are already dealing with them" she signalled the pirates, that were stronger than they looked like. "Let´s go, I have a feeling that this is the right ship we have to take. Must be destiny guiding us again… towards our king!" the dark skinned man smiled at her, following them. In the middle of the way, that captain got in the middle, like always. He managed to pin Luffy against the ground. Then a mysterious man got in the way.

"There is a huge county on your head wherever you go" the generals were surprised when they heard the captain say that… they snapped out of that the moment the two remembered that they were running away from a war zone. Luffy, miraculously rescued from the smoke man, continued his way with his friends and set sail.

"Hey, Nami, who are this two?" the pirate finally asked the question. "It´s the first time I see them!" everybody around him sweat dropped. Really? They have been with them most of their run away from Louge Town. "Who are you?"

"Luffy, get away from them!" the navigator punched him in the head, earning a growl from him. "Okay, this are Yamuraiha-san and Sharrkan-san" finally, the crew had time to get a good look at the new inhabitants of the ship. In a second, Sanji was dancing around the woman, calling her mellorine and positively scaring her. "Stop that!"

"Cool names!" Luffy suddenly smiled and started to cheerfully jump around them. "Yamu… Yandu… Sharky… Sharrrk… can I call you Yam-chan and Sharr-san?"

"Absolutely"

"Yes, you can" the madoushi stomped on his foot and effectively shut him up before he could offend him… if that boy could be offended. Now that she thought about it, the pirate captain was more like Aladdin than Sinbad. And he already decided he would call them that way and there was no way he would change his mind. "We have no problem"

"Yupi!" they celebrated their escape from the marines. Then they put a barrel in the middle and put a foot on it, telling their dreams. They were indeed huge, just like their own dreams when they barely left their home town.

"To find Sinbad, Sharrkan… and correct our mistake" she whispered, standing away from the barrel and the ceremony of the crew.

"Cheers for that"

-Some time later-

"There is a strange person in the bazar asking for Luffy" Zoro commented and the crew decided to end as soon as they could to leave the town as fast as possible. Yamuraiha and Sharrkan looked at each other. Normally a strange person wouldn´t be so alarming for them, they have met enough in their travels. Hell, Sinbad was a strange person and he was their king.

"Do you think there would be any problems?" the madoushi rolled her eyes, thinking about all the things that had gone wrong since they put a foot in Alabasta. First Luffy went missing, then someone starts looking for him… she just prayed that it wasn´t a bounty hunter, because that would put an end to their travel and she came to cherish the boy as much as Aladdin. "Okay, bad question, we should go find him. Can you track him?"

"With what? I don´t have anything from him, all is back on the ship" she grunted, wishing that she made more eyes of rukh before coming here, for communication purposes. In that same town, a couple was walking down the street. It was a certain strange combination, an albino and a redhead, the both of them being loud.

"I told you I don´t want to talk to you about this" Jafar said for the hundredth time in that same day, but Masrur was insistent. The Fanalis was probably the last person in the whole group of Generals he wanted to be alone with. And maybe you could ask why? Because he was his ex. Yes, he was his EX. And being alone with your ex was a no-no. "Why can´t you just try to activate that thing Yamuraiha gave to us in silence?"

"Because we need to talk about this" answered the former gladiator, not carrying about his opinion. The second hand of Sinbad sighed, he was being more talkative than ever. He wanted to stop him, but was dragged into an alley and slammed into a wall. "You left me, Jafar, even when I loved you. I still do"

"You know why! I couldn´t leave Sin alone, he doesn´t even know how to fill a document properly without my aid… let alone that he actually arrived to the office to do his damn work" he growled, remembering the irresponsible fool that he still had to drag to Sindria to do his work. "So when you said that you wanted us to move to Reim for you to join the Fanalis corps, I knew I couldn´t go. But you resisted to stay!"

"Abandoning Sin was my mistake, I admit it, but joining the Fanalis corps was something great. I managed to coexist with many of my people, to learn more about myself and them… I was the right thing to do."

"Yes, it was great, you married, TWICE" the albino said in a way that was more spiteful than he would like. "And now you have sons. I would think that plan of yours ended up great."

"Ohhhh, are you jealous?" he got closer, sniffling him. "Don´t be, it´s not as if I love them as much as I love you. Besides, is normal for Fanalis to have up to five spouses."

"I can´t be jealous over someone that needs to prove his masculinity so much that has to have five wives" he said smiling, leaving Masrur cold. He smiled with superiority and got out of the alley. "Come on, we have to find a place to eat."

"You… you know I´m great in bed, I don´t need to prove my masculinity" the man said before going after him. they arrived to the spiced bean, where they started lunch… until a white haired man irrupted and accused other customer of being a pirate. Many people stared at them, even the two generals. A good fight would surely erupt, there was no doubt about that. Smoke started to get out from the older man´s fists.

"FOOD!" something catapulted itself towards them with a scream of: "Gum Gum Rocket!"and soon there was a big hole in several walls. Jafar and Masrur just watched the idiotic stranger, who was eating. The Pirate with the orange hat was the first one that appeared again. He was instantly happy, calling the person that threw him through a wall Lu. Unfortunately, he was sent to the floor by the marine.

"MUGIWARA!" it took Luffy some minutes to recognize him from Louge Town, finish his food and start running. For some reason, the former Assasin decided to follow him. He was more than interesting, just like Sin has been in his youth. They joined the chase through the city, seeing the Marines from afar. And then Luffy found his nakama, calling Zoro first. And between them were…

"SHARRKAN! YAMURAIHA!" screamed the albino in relieve, catching the attention of his companions for a second. Sadly, Smoker´s attention was caught too.

"JAFAR! MASRUR!" she answered, waving a hand. The madoushi was glad that two more of the strongest warriors of Sindria were now with them. "COME WITH US! WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!"

"Coming!" Smoke got into his way.

"You are not getting anywhere either" the captain looked at them from over his shoulder. "Were you two also related to that Sinbad? Were you waiting for him? Is Shirohige interested in the first Part of the Grand Line too?"

"I don´t know what you are talking about" the head general grasped his blades inside his sleeves. His household vessel… he wanted to have his household vessel again. Smoker launched his attack, trying to incapacitate the two strangers and then go after the Mugiwara, but the red headed one grabbed his companion and, with an amazing show of strength, launched himself into the skies, landing in the other side. "Touch me again and I will cut your hands."

"Masrur! Great jump, man!" Sharrkan patted the red head´s back. He grunted and nodded to his friends. "Luffy, mina, this are Jafar and Masrur. A couple of friends"

"Nice to meet you" the albino bowed. "Now can we leave before Sin´s current mistake land us in jail or a worse place? Like this place´s version of the Valley of Death?"

"He is right, let´s run!" the Mugiwaras started running again and, a second later, the marines followed. Smoker launched a fist to capture the pirate that escaped his town when a flame attack got in his way. It was that stranger of the restaurant. Luffy seemed to know him and when he said run, they ran. It was the logical thing to do.

"Luffy, who is that guy?!"

"He is my big brother" he answered. The Generals looked at each other, in what kind of mess have they gotten into. The captain disappeared a second later, only to reappear in the strangest way, rocketing himself into the ship. His brother followed a few minutes later, in a ship that could only be described as notorious. He crushed down a fleet… and Jafar was not impressed. Neither were his friends. "Let´s cheer for Ace!"

"For Ace!" the pirates cheered and drank their liquor. Politely, the albino took a sip too, keeping eyes on the other inhabitants of the ship. They were pirates, after all, and encounters with pirates didn´t bring anything good… until now.

"… if it wasn´t for Sinbad and Judal intervening, then Tatch wouldn´t have been saved" all the generals spat at the sound of their king´s name. "What?!"

"Do you know Sinbad?!" the former assassin was over him in a second, looking straight at his eyes. "Where is him?! Do you know where he is?! How is he?! Did he remembered taking care of himself without me repeating over and over again that too much wine is going to kill him sooner than later?!"

"Woow, so many questions" the older D. smiled. "Yes, he is fine. He was a member of my crew when I was captain and joined to the Whitebeards with me. Since then he is part of my division along with his little friend. And no, he hasn´t stopped drinking like there was no tomorrow."

"That little…"

"Are you sure we are talking about the same Sinbad?" Yamuraiha got in the middle. Ace pulled out a wanted poster from his back and showed it to her. She frowned a bit. "It´s so strange. This is definitely Sin, but the Sinbad we used to know wasn´t very inclined to follow orders"

"You know him well?"

"Yeah" she continued, lowering her head. "He… used to be our captain… and something… something more…" she hugged herself. Suddenly all of them looked down. "We… ahhhh… we are searching for him to apologize, because… something happened… something pretty bad and… we weren´t there to help him. Hell, we weren´t even close to him when he needed us. That´s why we… are very ashamed. WE were bad friends"

"Hey, I don´t think he is holding anything against you" Ace tried to calm them. "He only talks to Judal about his private issues, but whenever we make him talk about before he joined my crew, he does it with so much nostalgia that it´s obvious that he misses it. So don´t believe that you were bad friends, he doesn´t think that."

"I hope you are right"

Hello! First of all, the time skip... hummm, it´s because for me there is no like the original history of One Piece, so I´m not completely rewritting it, just some parts. Well, I hope you are enjoying this fic, next time we are going to see some more of their travel. Where are they going to end? Review!
